Fallujah residents may return home within days
By Gordon Trowbridge | Army Times
CAMP FALLUJAH, Iraq - Military officials will be prepared within days for the return of civilians to the battle-scarred city of Fallujah, and local companies will soon begin clearing the way for reconstruction, the military official responsible for rebuilding efforts said Tuesday.
But the interim Iraqi government will make the final decision on when to reopen the city, said Navy Rear Adm. Raymond Alexander, commander of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force Engineer Group.
Alexander said engineers estimate 5 percent to 10 percent of the city's buildings, once home to about 200,000 people, was destroyed in fighting between U.S.-led coalition forces and the insurgents who controlled Fallujah for months.
Fallujah is widely seen as a crucial test of U.S. and interim Iraqi government policy in bringing the country's restive Sunni Muslim minority into the political process. Military and government leaders have said they hope to ensure at least some participation from this area, the heart of the insurgency, in national elections scheduled for Jan. 30.
Among reconstruction options, Alexander said, is a plan to recruit out-of-work residents to aid in the effort.
``We can use all the help we can get,'' he said. ``If they come to us and say, `I've got no place to go, nothing to do,' we'll say, `OK, head over to that line. When we have enough, we'll form a work party.'''
But the work would be entirely voluntary, Alexander said, contradicting a Boston Globe report Tuesday that Marine officials could force Iraqi men into the work groups.
``We're not going to force anybody to work,'' Alexander said.
Fallujah is rapidly becoming safe enough for large-scale reconstruction involving Iraqi contractors, and ``security continues to improve daily,'' Alexander said.
First up: Removing debris from the battle. Four Iraqi companies are scheduled to enter the city Saturday to begin clearing hundreds of thousands of cubic yards of rubble from city streets, said Navy Lt. Cmdr. Steven Stefani, a spokesman for the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force Engineer Group.
As Marine commanders declare city neighborhoods clear of insurgents and weapons, the military will OK those areas for return of civilians, though Iraqi officials will have the final word, Alexander said.
He said he had no way of knowing when that decision might come, but that the military's preparations would be completed in a day or two.
Alexander described a process in which heads of Fallujah households will be allowed into the city to assess damage to their homes. Residents will be directed to entry points around the city, but not allowed to enter unless they carry identification showing a Fallujah address, probably in the form of ration cards issued under Saddam Hussein's regime.
A bus system will return those residents to their neighborhoods, Alexander said. Personal vehicles will not be allowed into the city because of the threat of car bombs.
Military civil affairs teams will be on hand with claim forms for those whose homes suffered damage in the battle.
Alexander said Iraqi government agencies are just beginning to assess the state of the city's water and power systems. He said some ministries are moving quickly, while others are ``maybe not as fast as we'd like.''
He said some areas of the city remain flooded because of broken water mains, but the sewer system is mostly intact.
Fallujah has never had a sewage treatment plant; raw sewage was simply pumped into nearby streams. Alexander said he hopes a local contractor can begin work in January on a treatment plant, a job that could employ 2,000 local workers.

We had some ingredients (particularly basil) to use up so I thought I would have a crack at making a quick and simple dish on my own, based on some other recipes I'd tried previously.
I decided to chop some basil up and add some olive oil, to create a marinade for the fish, and I also used what was left to roast the tomatoes in. basil goes well with tomatoes, and it also went well with the fish, too! The below recipe serves two people.
- Two boneless, skinless haddock fillets
- Generous handful of cherry tomatoes
- Two handfuls of runner beans
- One large handful of basil (chopped)
- Two tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to season
- In a chopper, or by hand, finely chop the basil and place in a bowl with the oil. Reserve a small amount of this to drizzle on your tomatoes.
- Gently mix the fish fillets in the large bowl of oil, and leave in the fridge for half an hour.
- When ready to cook, boil the kettle and pre-heat the oven to 180c fan.
- Put the tomatoes in an oven proof dish, drizzle with basil oil and a sprinkle of salt. These will need 10 minutes in the oven.
- Put a frying pan on, and add the fish, while bringing a saucepan of the kettle water to boil.
- When boiling, add some salt and your beans for a few minutes.
- When the fish has cooked, allow to rest on a warm plate before finishing off the beans in the pan for a few minutes with a sprinkle of sea salt.
- Plate up with the haddock on top of the beans alongside the tomatoes.
- Healthy and simple!

Climbing Mount Fuji in the Summer
Today, as we celebrate Mountain Day for the very first time in Japan, I think that it is only appropriate that I write about Japan's most famous mountain-- Mount Fuji!
Summer is the only time that Fuji san is open for hikers. Exact climbing dates vary every year but hiking season usually takes place from July to September. The hike is mostly rock and dirt but the view is FANTASTIC. I just have to say though... Climbing Fuji san is NOT an easy feat. There are many things to consider! I know some people who have taken the hike lightly before actually experiencing the climb (truthfully, that includes myself). Here are some tips if you plan to climb Mt. Fuji this summer and want to make it really worth your while:
- Do some training before the big day. Go to the gym or, even better, do some practice hikes around Japan.
- Monitor the weather. The weather on the mountain is erratic. Even if it is very sunny in Tokyo, it's possible for rain to occur on Mt. Fuji. Also note that if weather conditions are bad as you are climbing, you will be asked to turn around and go back down as it may be dangerous to continue.
- Have enough sleep, eat right and drink your vitamins before the hike. It would be best to keep your body in excellent condition.
- Wear hiking shoes. The trails vary and can get slippery. Bring a jacket as temperatures will drop; even if it is 38 degrees C in Tokyo, it can be 5 degrees C on Mt. Fuji. I also suggest to bring a pair of gloves as the rocks are sharp and you will need your hands to climb at some point.
- Once you reach 5th station make sure to acclimatize first for at least one hour to three hours. This means that you have to allow your body to adjust because you will obviously be above ground level and the climate is different as well. This is very important. Disregarding this point may lead you to altitude sickness, which will ruin your hike. Also, don't forget to stretch before the hike.
- You can opt to buy an oxygen can (like me). The air gets thinner as you ascend.
- In line with #5, pace yourself and don't go too fast. You will need to catch your breath and, at the same time, avoid altitude sickness.
- Prices for food and water become more expensive as you climb higher. Bring your own food and water to save up, but also remember to pack light as you wouldn't want your backpack to make the hike more difficult for you.
- There are no trash bins on the mountain, so I recommend having your own plastic bag for your personal trash and then just dispose it afterwards. Be responsible and keep the mountain clean!
- There are toilets on the mountain. You have to pay exactly 200 JPY, so make sure to have a lot of coins with you! Amazingly, they all have toilet paper.
- Lastly, be cautious of the wind! There may be times when it will try to knock you off.
I started my hike at around 8 to 9pm and reached the top in time for the most majestic sunrise of my life! The hike was tough but it was worth it. Here's a video of the sunrise on time lapse:
I have been told that it was a crazy plan to climb at night then reach the peak by morning. Some choose to hike during the day and just camp out at night and then hike again to reach the top for the sunrise; while some hike early morning to reach the top to see the sunset. It really depends on you. If you decide to camp out though, note that there are no rest houses on the summit.
Good luck and enjoy the view!
The world is my home so here I am exploring different parts of it as much as I can. Currently residing in Tokyo, Japan.

The Prepared Parent Guide
A Resource for Sending Your Child to College
College. It's enough to send a shudder through the heart of any parent, and not just because of empty-nest syndrome. Money (both the parent's and the student's)—or lack thereof. Transportation. Dorms versus apartments. Parent weekends. What the student wants from the parent—and doesn't want. How is a parent to know where to even begin?
Marie Pinak Carr is more than qualified to tell you. The mother of three daughters who have collectively attended four different universities, she's been through it all: car issues, finances, homesickness and long-distance physical illness, roommate anguish, and coping with the loss of parental control. Her even-keeled book, The Prepared Parent Guide, explains what to expect, how to cope, what it takes to navigate the maze of collegial options and regulations, and what to do when the unexpected (or expected but dreaded) happens.
Carr not only understands the processes, she understands that the parent facing this daunting challenge doesn't need a tome of thousands of pages to complicate their lives. Instead, she presents a brisk, easily digestible book with concise chapters full of bullet lists, short descriptions of necessary terms and situations, and comprehensive checklists, including budgeting, insurance management, inventory checklists, discussion points, and even a car emergency kit.
Dividing the book into these brief chapters filled with hands-on tip sheets and checklists makes the process seem more manageable and less stressful. Carr's approach, which is "If I could do it, so can you, especially since you can learn from my experience," gives the book a no-nonsense but friendly sense of guidance. She works from the beginning, with the first chapters detailing what should be done during the summer prior to the student's departure for college. Things that could easily be forgotten, such as health care proxies, health insurance records, and determining how and what homeowner's insurance might cover for off-premises dependents, is all detailed. Worksheets help students figure out the process of budgeting, and a thorough (and necessary) section covers the ins and outs of credit and debt.
Carr does an excellent job of covering what parents and students should know and what they should do. This is an indispensable handbook for any parent facing the college years, whether it's the first year or even the last—the advice is valuable for each year the student is enrolled.

for the love that you've shown us and for the hope that it gives us for the future.
God we might not all feel like celebrating this morning,
we might not all be to that resurrection in our own lives,
but regardless, we join together today because we believe.
We believe that you lived, you suffered and died and that your rose again and that your story, the story of resurrection and redemption and restoration will be our story too.
This morning as we stand in awe of the ways that you redeem us, we remember the journey that we took to get here.
We remember how you came to us,
you came and you were like us,
you met us where we were,
on our own terms.
You lived and walked among us and taught us about God's desire for this world,
what it looks like for God to be among us,
how things would be different.
We remember our excitement just last Sunday that you were with us, Hosanna!
that God did indeed have a plan to save us.
We remember the confusion, the sin that separated us from you on Good Friday,
the hopelessness and shame and heaviness that we felt in that day.
The waiting, the suspense the uncertainty of Saturday,
the fear that maybe, just maybe you had abandoned us.
All of that, all of those parts of your story that we live out in our lives too,
all of that to find ourselves here in this place today.
God we fall before you with relief, with joy that Friday was not the end, that Saturday didn't last too long and that all along, your plans was better than we could have imagined.
We bask in the light of Jesus resurrected,
we bask in the hope that evil, that sin, that pain and death do not have the last word,
that there is more for us.
Thank you God, thank you for this time to remember all of those things, to open ourselves up once again to the mystery and the power and the awe of Easter.
We claim this story this morning,
we say that yes, we believe, evil does not have the last word.
We claim that promise for us here today, we claim it for those in our lives who are experiencing suffering, pain, addiction, loneliness, hopelessness, death.
We pray for all those who need to know that those things are not the end,
we pray that you send your Holy Spirit to remind them of that today, that they would feel your presence and know that this is true.
We pray for our church, for our community that we will remember that we are an Easter people, that evil does not win here and that we are a part of your redemption.
Show us the way to be your church,
a church that lives in hope,
that gives others hope,
that makes the world around us look more like your kingdom.
God we want others to know that joy of Easter too, we want to be part of the work that you're doing in and through and around us.
This morning God we know that you meet us where we are,
whether we're still on Friday or fully present to your resurrection today.
Meet us where we are God and continue to guide us,
to be a part of our story,
to weave the resurrection through our lives.
And as we claim your promises of hope and new life and resurrection we remember those disciples that went before us,
the ones that got to ask Jesus face to face, "how are we supposed to pray?" So we join together as God's family in that prayer saying:
Our Father
Who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom
And the power
And the glory forever
Pastor Jen Hibben

"It's unfortunate that this band never got the attention it deserved and has broken up. There are some great songs on this CD - and their others as well. My favorite CD's are Beaker and their self-titled 22 Brides, although Demolition Day has some songs worth mentioning too. The Johnson sister's have amazing voices. If you like sexy vocals harmonizing, excellent lyrics, thrown in with some interesting guitar work, then you'll love this band. I had never heard of them until I saw a live performance broadcast on a local TV station in Ohio and I fell in love with them. Unfortunately I think they were already broken up at the time I discovered them."

I read this today in a little devotional and thought I would post it:
Revived Through God's Word
"This is my comfort in my affliction, that Your word has revived me." ~ Psalm 119:5
The difference regular reading of God's Word can make in your life is the difference between a panic attack in the unexpected jolts of life and a supernatural peace in the midst of the worst storm. It's the difference between confusion and quiet confidence.
What do you think? How important is it to be imersed in God's word in order to not fall into despair when the storms come? I think that it is clear we need to be much more imersed in scripture than we are (or at least I need to be a lot more imersed in it than I am)!
God bless and keep looking to Him and reading His Word!

Beginning this summer, jazz enthusiasts will be able to enjoy world-class performances in downtown Napa.
The Napa Valley Opera House (nvoh.org) and New York-based Blue Note (bluenote.net) reached a final lease agreement bringing a Blue Note jazz club to the Napa Valley and Bay Area.
The club also has venues in New York; Honolulu; Tokyo; Nagoya, Japan; Beijing; and Milan.
"This will allow us to anchor our business with the world famous Blue Note Jazz Club downstairs and also feature a wide variety of phenomenal shows upstairs — the best of all worlds," said Ken Tesler, Blue Note Napa Valley managing director and producer.
City Winery had been leasing the 1030 Main St. building from the opera house since December 2013. After negotiations to get out of its 10-year lease, City Winery's contract ended in December. Blue Note's lease would be similar to the City Winery's 10-year agreement.
Occupying the first floor of the historic Napa Valley Opera House, Blue Note Napa Valley will present national, international, Bay Area and regional artists in what's designed to be an intimate venue serving the valley's finest wines and craft brews, farm to table cuisine, and classic cocktails.
Club ownership also will operate the second-story Margrit Mondavi Theater, continuing to brand it as Napa Valley Opera House.
Under the lease agreement, the opera house nonprofit still will present up to 75 shows annually in that theater. Performances span genres and media, including concerts, musical and dramatic theatre, comedy and film. The theater also will continue to be utilized for enhanced arts education programs for local schools and is available for special events, corporate meetings, wedding celebrations and nonprofit fundraising events.
Blue Note was established in 1981 in Manhattan's Greenwich Village. Location draw some of the world's finest jazz musicians such as Sarah Vaughn, Tony Bennett, Lionel Hampton and Dizzy Gillespie.
The opera house will benefit from Blue Note's programming of celebrity performaces and productions by local nonprofits, including Napa Shakes, Transcendence Theater Company, Lamplighters Music Theater and Napa Valley Film Festival, according to Bob Almeida, chairman of the opera house board.

Critic Reviews for Wishmaster 3: Beyond the Gates of Hell
All Critics (4) | Fresh (0) | Rotten (4) | DVD (3)
a stupid flick
...there's no real originality or distinctiveness separating it from other low-budget creepers.
The film seems to realize its need to obscure the cast and narrative early on and does so initially with some welcome nudity and plentiful, albeit amateurish, gore.
Audience Reviews for Wishmaster 3: Beyond the Gates of Hell
Wishmaster 3: Beyond the Gates of Hell, or "Beyond Gape Hell" if you listen to the trailer, is the most forgettable of the franchise.
Super Reviewer
Wishmaster 3 is an unnecessary third film in this dull series. Poorly written and directed, the film feels tired and uninspired. Chris Angel's directing is sloppy, and it shows on-screen. The film doesn't display anything original or refreshing and instead adopts the gore factor as a tool to try to save it from mediocrity. Unfortunately, it backfires. This film is yet another pointless sequel that doesn't work, and basically ruins what the first one tried to do. The film is stupid, and not worth your time. There's nothing makes this film interesting and worth watching, and with every other low-budget straight to DVD film, it suffers because the filmmakers don't put any effort in trying to create something watchable and ultimately memorable. This is an awful film that has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. This is simply put a needless second sequel to a film that didn't need any follow-up, especially poorly thought out films that are plainly misses the mark at delivering effective horror. This is a standard low-budget affair that relies on the standard straight to DVD formula. The filmmakers clearly don't care how the film would look. The result is a film that is a mess from start to finish, a poorly executed film, one that really doesn't deliver anything worthwhile. Avoid this third film if you can. There are far better films than this one, and this ends up just being a stupid sequel that never should have been.
Super Reviewer
Divoff is out and our new Djinn loses his charisma, sense of humor, and imagination. You felt as though Divoff's Djinn could come up with the weirdest deaths, these ones are pretty basic. One man asks for the two women he most desires to love him. They end up just scratching him to death. It confused me. One great opportunity has a guy say "Blow me!" We all know what our previous Djinn would have done. AT least this time the protagonist is more likable, but we don't see these films for the leading lady. It's similar, run of the mill stuff, but less gory and less fun.

Lets Keep Our Bellies Flat Shall We?
Keep This Belly Flat
When Your Shape Can Become A Problem
Let me ask this question. Do you have a flat belly?
If your stomach is a flat as the Prairies in US, or Vojvodina in Europe then you have nothing to worry about. This article is for those fat and obese men and women who have been trying to get rid of the bulge in their stomachs due to accumulation of unhealthy fat.
Yes, fat is a healthy thing to have in your body but excess of it turns to be a health issue.
Weight loss is my fascination and whenever I get useful information I want to share it with one and all therefore I want you to be all ears and eyes while reading this post.
Here Is An Interesting Story
I just moved to another part of a city of 400.000 people (that is what the statistics say) and that very day met a guy about my age of 55 who amicably welcomed me to their neighborhood. We became real good friends and my first lunch in that area of the city was in his home. I was too busy unpacking, arranging and dumping things I feel I don't need to cook. So he invited me to his home to meet his wife. Children, adults and having their own families.
The food was extremely tasty and I relished on it with passion. I love to eat tasty foods by the way.
It was setting my eyes on his wife that made me to think. She was too oversized my friend (I thought that in myself but never told him?) and he as slim and flat bellied as I am. What a combination!
As we were dining and conversations became hotter she called me by name and said "We were very open and loved to meet people, make friends and having fun but my husband doensn't take me out like before. Whenever I suggest such things; he always comes up with an excuse". I can see where the conversation was going, so I tried to through in a couple of jokes. It didn't work.
Not to bother you. This guy is simply ashamed to take his wife out due to her overweight. Period! He loves her! That I can see but then outings? C'mmon!
I tried to turn the coversation around once again and asked to look at pictures in their album. What a very big blunder I made! She brought out 5 albums from the time they were dating, the bethrothal, their marriage ceremony, their children in youth etc. Her youthful picture shows that she was extremely smashing as a young lady but as time went on; she became obese with bellies protuding above proportion.
As soon as her husband went to the shops for some groceries, she came out into the open. She called me by name again "I have uncontrolled urge to eat just anything that comes my way. I believe I have eating disorders. Do you know of any way by which I can get a solution? I have tried several methods but nothing worked. I am aware that my husband's behavior must have something to do with my fatness".
What a great lady? What guts! She won my respect that instant. Period!
I am curious to know what people think about this kind of situation. A lot of people suffer in silence due to one thing or another and they seem to have no clue how to solve it just like this amazing woman.
How To Reduce Belly Fat
- Proactol
I love to eat and never paid attention to my size. After trying several products to reduce my appetite. The success story.
- Look For Methods To Lose Belly Fat
Whenever Summer is close a lot of people people make an effort to lose a couple of kilos. The thing that scares me is exactly how many turn to slimming capsules in order to get rid of that extra weight.

Comments Off on Writing an Office Floor Plan
When you are moving offices it is essential to write an office plan for your new office space. Multiple companies will need to see your office plan, they include the removalists, IT and fit out companies. If you choose us as your Brisbane office relocator you will be allocated a Project Manager for your move, work with your Project Manager on organising your floor plan. This will ensure that the unloading of your office furniture runs easily and everyone know what you have planned for the new office space as our Project Managers have nearly a decade of experience moving offices.
Work with IT (power points, adapters, etc) to ensure all electronics (computers, printers, fridge,etc) will be assigned an individual powerpoint. There is nothing worse than having all your electronics delivered and no where to plug them.
Considerations for your Office Floor Plan include:
· The space available against your requirement for offices & open plan space
· Size & location of reception, board & meeting rooms, store rooms, kitchen & restrooms
· Location of staff workstations ( be sure to number everyone's workstation individually)
· Location for IT equipment (printers, copiers, faxes, postage meters etc.)
· Build out required – walls, partitioning, storage,
· Refurbishment required – painting, flooring, blinds, lighting & ventilation
· Place workers in near proximity who frequently collaborate on projects (this increases the functionality of your office space)
· Be sure to plan for adequate storage and equipment areas to avoid clutter & safety hazards
· Agree on a labelling system with fitout, IT and moving company so you only need one plan for all team members
If you are able to consider all of the helpful tips above to write up your office plan, you will definitely produce a very detailed and informative floor plan. Floor plans not only allow your office move to run smoothly, they also benefit all stakeholders involved in the move, including your employees. Your employees want to feel comfortable in the new office space, so the earlier you show them the new office space the more comfortable they will feel.

Crushed: Carla Hackett
Crush [kruhsh]: 1. An intense infatuation, 2. The object of such an infatuation
I'm always inspired by Carla Hackett's lettering! Her De-motivational Poster for a past issue of Frankie Magazine is a favorite of mine! To me, it's the perfect combination of beautiful lettering, dark humour, and that cheery shade of turquoise that I just can't resist, and this hangs in a prominent spot in our hallway at home:

Arguably, the biggest news to come out of CES 2013 was NVIDIA's Project Shield, the beginning of a new wave of portable Android gaming devices. We dropped by NVIDIA's booth and were able to get a look at the revolutionary product. Unfortunately, NVIDIA had the Shield shielded behind glass and weren't allowing hands on time at this point. We'll try to head back sometime soon to see if we can get our grubby paws on it for you guys. In the meantime, check out our eyes-on with the new Project Shield.

Mackenzie-Childs' Christmas Truck - Paint Your Own
I was in a store the other day that had a bunch of Mackenzie-Child's Christmas decorations. One was this adorable checkered truck. The one above is the real deal. I painted one last year for a client, but I wanted one for myself. So I found a similar truck painted red in a home store and decided to check one up for myself.
I forgot to take a before picture....so just picture a red truck above and then the checkered truck! :)
Here she sits in front of my little Mackenzie Ribbon tree.
I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!

Keeping Christmas Simple
What do you want for Christmas?
For the last couple of years, I've asked this question to my children and the response is usually, something to the tune of "I'm not sure" or "I don't know...let me think about it." The days of having a list of things you'd like to have and actually waiting until Christmas are over.
I saw this on Facebook a few months ago and thought...ya know, our family is already blessed with so much. Why not make the holidays more enjoyable and keep things manageable this year? Let's focus on doing things together and on the meaning of Christmas instead of shopping December away.
So I asked each of the children to send me something they would like for each of the categories above and to keep it reasonable. :)
They have totally jumped on board with their "want, need and wear." Two of them have tried to swap the "read" for something else....but other than that, they are totally on board.
It's amazing how a little structure makes life so much easier.
"I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures." ~ Lao Tzu

Salted Caramel Shortbread
I love caramel. Just something about it. It's creamy and sweet and salty. It just hits the spot when you want something sweet and it's not as dense as fudge. But if you make this beware...it's kind of like a potato chip cuz you can't just have one. I was looking for something different to make the other day and I stumbled across these at
Le Creme De La crumb
. All I can say is.....YUM. Enjoy!
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 stick butter (8 tablespoons or ½ cup)
1¼ cups flour
1 tablespoon milk
1½ sticks butter (12 tablespoons)
½ cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
Preheat oven to 350 and line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper or lightly greased nonstick foil.
First prepare the shortbread crust. In a medium bowl combine the sugar and butter and cream together until smooth. Add flour and mix. Stir in milk. Mixture will resemble crumbs. Press into the pre-lined pan and bake 20 minutes until golden. Remove and allow to cool.
While crust is cooling, prepare the caramel layer.
In a medium sauce pan melt 1½ sticks of butter with ½ cup sugar. Add corn syrup and condensed milk. (Continue to stir throughout the entire process) Bring to a rapid boil over medium-high heat, and then decrease to medium heat (should still be bubbling) 6-8 minutes or until mixture achieves deep golden color, stirring constantly. (I recommend a whisk! - see note)
Pour caramel onto cooled shortbread, sprinkle immediately with coarse sea salt. Allow to sit at room temperature 1-2 hours or until caramel has cooled and set. I have had success with placing in the fridge to cool to speed up the process. Cut into squares and serve or store chilled in airtight container.
If your caramel starts to separate (the butter pools on top of the caramel in the pan), remove from heat and whisk whisk whisk like crazy til it comes back together. Then return to heat and continue to whisk until golden color is achieved.
Prep time does not include cooling time.

The Reason For The Christmas Season
This year, I want the family to really focus on why we are celebrating the gifts under tree. Think about what is going on around us right now. People are decorating Christmas trees along with the inside and outside of their homes, businesses are putting up lights, Christmas music is playing on the radio in every store you walk into and people are buying lots and lots of presents. Why? Why did the magi bring gifts to a little baby in a manger over 2000 years ago? Why are we emulating this and celebrating Christmas day every year?
Please understand that this post is not to pass judgement on any other holiday that is celebrated. I'm not writing to upset those that believe differently. I'm not writing about all "holiday's" so that everyone is included and everyone feels warm and fuzzy. I'm writing today about Christmas, it's meaning and why we have the Christmas season.
Let's be clear about one thing. Without Jesus, there is no Christmas. Without Jesus, this whole season of celebration and wonder would not exist. You can't take "Christ" out of Christmas. It doesn't work. I'm not going to brush the reality and meaning under the table of why we put so much effort into the season anymore. We celebrate "Oh come all ye faithful, Joy to the world, Away in a manager, Hark the herald angels sing and Silent night, holy night.....for one reason and one reason only.
We celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior for who He is. Just as He identified Himself to Moses in Exodus 3:14 as "I AM WHO I AM" and he identified Himself to the Jews in John 8:58 again as "I AM"...... Jesus is God. He came down to earth as the son of God so all can know him. Why is it important that you know who Jesus is? Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the light. No one comes to the father except through me. John 14:6.
Simply said....Jesus is the reason that we celebrate the Christmas season.
I hope this Christmas season, people will stop and spend time understanding the true meaning behind Christmas and why it is celebrated in mass, all over the world. All over the world.
Think about that.

Mackenzie-Child's Ribbon Wreath Details
I received quite a few questions on the wreath I posted last week
Making a wreath is simple. Gathering goodies to put in your wreath is easy. But yes, you need to have a few things on hand to put the wreath together; floral wire, wire cutters, glue gun and then your goodies.
Goodies alone....can be expensive. This is Mackenzie-Childs ribbon that you can find
It's not cheap but it's beautiful ribbon and it's what makes the wreath so pretty. So yes, if you went out to buy all of these things at one time it's pretty pricey. That's why you let other people make them for you. :)
I hope you have a fabulous week decorating and preparing for this holiday season.

Surrender All
As I get ready for the holiday season, I am reminded of how truly blessed I am. But I also hear the worry and anxiety that is so prevalent today with those I talk with. The truth of the matter is that we cannot control it all. At some point, we have to stop worrying and trying to fix everything so that it fits into our image of what "should be" and allow life to happen. We do our best to help, support and guide our circumstances but the reality is that we cannot control all that happens or what comes our way.
We are a control generation. We have learned to take the bull by the horns and plow our way to the top to reach our goals. And when things don't work out the way we want them to, there is this running dialogue of what isn't working and what happened or what we need to do because something didn't turn out as planned. Sometimes the lesson is that we don't always get what we want and maybe the lesson is that we need to learn to handle things differently. And maybe, just maybe... we need to let go and let life happen. Deal with our circumstances or outcomes the best we can and move on.
I am learning to let go. It's actually easier to let go than to get all knotted up and stress over what is out of my control. Take the actions that you can to help fix or resolve an issue and then let go.
Let go and surrender. Surrender to what will be and watch life work out.
I surrender all
I surrender all
All to thee my blessed savior,
I surrender all.
Have a great day.

Every now and then God decides to surprise us, yet again, and does something uniquely phenomenal. He creates a one-of-a-kind vocal signature, carefully blends it with inspiration, talent and skill, and gingerly molds it into an
anointed vessel designed specifically to minister to heart and soul of His people. Kathy Taylor is this phenomenal musical gift created by God.
Kathy Taylor, an accomplished National Recording Artist, Minister of Music, songwriter, producer, and community activist has been appointed for a time such as this to bring music that not only inspires, but encourages, uplifts, and heals the spirit and soul of mankind. Kathy is the walking embodiment of the term "Minister of Music".
Kathy's musical gifts have brought her before both national and world leaders. She has ministered before Queen Elizabeth, former President Bill Clinton, Senator Hillary Clinton, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Cicely Tyson, Maya Angelou, and many others. Kathy has received resounding critical acclaim for her outstanding, soul-stirring and inspirational performances.
Kathy began her recording career as a soloist with the legendary James Cleveland's Gospel Music of America and The Mass Choir. She was the featured vocalist on songs such as, "Anticipation", "It's Your Decision", "He Did It" and "I Got My Joy Back". These projects, along with her captivating and live performances have catapulted Kathy into the national spotlight.
In her never-ending quest to serve the Kingdom of God, Kathy answered her calling and foundedKathy Taylor and Favor, a multi-talented singing ensemble known for their meticulous and breath-taking harmonies. They have graced the stage with many of today's most renowned gospel artists. To their acclaim, they have released three projects to date. The first two albums produced by Kathy were entitled, "He's Worthy" and "What Would It Profit Me to Gain the Whole World and Lose My Soul?", which were both well received. The third album, "Taylormade", was released on Aleho International Records, under the leadership of gospel music executive, Al 'The Bishop' Hobbs, and produced by Grammy Award winning, legendary gospel music producer, Sanchez Harley. This powerful collaboration produced an incredible project that yielded a Stellar Award Nomination. .
Kathy's purpose is tri-fold. She has fully embraced her mission to carry the gospel in song all over the world. Through Kathy, God continues to pour out His Spirit. Her dedication to the Body of Christ and limitless love of God places Kathy in a unique position to minister the "Good News" of Jesus Christ. Today, Kathy allows herself to be a vessel God can use to pour out His spirit upon all flesh, for tomorrow she desires to make the music relevant to the next generation. For yesterday, she stands humbly on the shoulders of her mother and grandmother to carry the gospel in song to the uttermost parts of the world.
Thank you for visiting our website. We hope that you were blessed by your experience. We would like to know who you are and share messages and updates with you. Please feel free to fill out the guestbook information below and we will keep you posted. God bless you.

3 Tips for Effective Print Marketing
Although digital marketing is highly effective, and more or less essential for modern businesses, traditional print marketing still has its place. If you're considering using this kind of media to change the tone of your marketing, you need to be clued up on what works and what doesn't. In this post, we'll go over three of the best tips for effective print marketing.
Keep the Layout Simple
This is pretty obvious, yet a lot of business owners and marketers manage to overlook it in a very damaging way. If your ads are too busy and cluttered, they'll be an instant turn off to your readers, and they'll find it difficult to process the information you're broadcasting. True, using a gift certificate maker or a general graphic design program can be a lot fun once you get a handle on the different features, but it's important to avoid getting carried away! Get to the point, and avoid any unnecessary frills in your print advertising. This will ensure that it catches someone's eye easily, and gets your message across in a concise, effective way.
Keep the Copy Clear
Big blocks of ad copy are another thing that can quickly turn prospects away. They didn't go looking for your ad, and once they find it they don't want to spend too long digesting what it's all about. We recommend sticking to smaller chunks of copy, with plenty of bullet points and indents. This kind of structure will invite an idle browser to start reading, and make the information in the ad much more digestible. You should also stick to accessible fonts like Arial, which will help readers get to the point at a good pace. There's nothing wrong with using interesting typography, just make sure no one has to squint to make out certain words! Finally, be aware of how your copy is going to bounce off the surrounding graphics. If you put text over a busy image, it can turn off a reader and even make the copy illegible!
Emphasize What the Customer Wants
This is a pretty universal tip for all kinds of marketing, but is even more important to bear in mind when you're designing print marketing materials. Your customer really isn't interested in the history of your company, your brand's values, or even how your product is manufactured. All they want to know is the benefits that they'll reap from buying your product. This is the only reason why someone is going to stop and read your advert, so make sure you're not straying away from the main benefits. When you're throwing around ideas for different typography and graphics, make sure that the reader's eye is naturally drawn to the benefits your product or service can give them. The rest, if you want to include it, can be added in at the bottom. It's also important to stay away from any technical jargon. Even people you consider to be an ideal customer can be stumped by the industry terms you're so used to using.

There was a time the Metropolitan Opera in New York could claim to be the finest opera company in the country. Nowadays, that honor has to be divided three ways: the Met, the Chicago Lyric, and the San Francisco Opera.
Opera houses in general have been ignoring our treasured stars, so it is nice to know they have a stage in San Francisco - where younger artists are appreciated as well. In fact, the ideal opera house has young and older performers on the same stage so a tradition can be passed on, with younger singers learning from established stars.
The San Francisco Opera chief, Terry McEwen, seems to understand how important this mix is, and how crucial that it all be done in productions of quality and beauty, rather than in eccentric ways that distort the essence of what the composer is seeking to project.
But this is Mr. McEwen's first season, and it has had the usual share of problems and cancellations. The opening night ''Ballo in Maschera,'' for instance (as heard on a delayed broadcast), with Luciano Pavarotti and Monsterrat Caballe, was less than glorious vocally.
Mr. McEwen has managed to gather more stars per production than American audiences have become accustomed to. Joan Sutherland and Marilyn Horne were reunited here for Bellini's ''Norma,'' and a production of Poulenc's ''Dialogues of the Carmelites'' boasted Leontyne Price, Regine Crespin, and Virginia Zeani. Miss Horne sang the title role in Rossini's ''La Cenerentola'' for the first time in something like 25 years.
I caught up with three productions during my recent visit here: Wagner's ''Lohengrin,'' Massenet's ''Cendrillon,'' and Tchaikovsky's ''Queen of Spades.'' All three evenings afforded something special in these operatically difficult days. Mr. McEwen clearly believes that an opera cannot rest on just one singer's shoulders, and that a great performance can only come from substantial casting in all the principal roles. 'Lohengrin'
This was nowhere more true than in the ''Lohengrin,'' for which Mr. McEwen had gathered a particularly strong cast. The greatest interest was sparked by Leonie Rysanek's graduation, after nearly 30 years, from the role of Elsa to the role of Ortrud. Once again, Miss Rysanek has made a role uniquely her own and set a new standard for others to aspire toward. She dominated the evening with her definitive characterization. She does not portray the character, she inhabits it.
This villainess is usually the province of mezzo-sopranos. Miss Rysanek consummately demonstrates that only a dramatic soprano can do full justice to the part. She transforms the woman into a multifaceted creature of fierce pride and bottomless ambition through dazzling histrionic powers, astounding vocal shadings and subtleties, and, when needed, seemingly endless reserves of burnished visceral power.
Peter Hoffmann brought matinee-idol good looks and a low-key but expressive character projection to his excellent performance in the title role. Pilar Lorengar's radiantly innocent Elsa was very lyric, but she seemed unusually animated opposite Miss Rysanek's volatile Ortrud. For Miss Lorengar, the second act confrontations represented a new dramatic and vocal high point. Hermann Becht's Telramund was impressively bold and gruff in a way we have not been accustomed to of late. David Ward seemed a rather listless King Heinrich. Thomas Woodman's handsome lyric baritone was heard to generally fine effect as the Herald.
In the pit, Heinrich Hollreiser led a solid, no-nonsense performance that focused more on forward motion than illumination, but gave his singers room to breathe and act. Wolfgang Weber's direction is more sensible with this caliber of performer than it was some four years ago when casting was almost totally wrong. Beni Monetresor's fairy tale sets and costumes put the action in a wash of blurred color that captured only one part of the story. 'Cendrillon'
"Cendrillon" is the French telling of the Cinderella story, complete with the Fairy Godmother, the glass slipper, the overbearing stepmother and her two gruesome daughters, and her benign but weak father. Massenet has set it all to gossamer, perfumed music that gives it all just the right touch of 19th centruy mood and magic. The Henry Bardon drops-and-flats sets, first seen in Ottawa and looking far better here than in Washngton, D.C., a few seasons back, added to the wonderfully old-fashioned flavor of the opera. Suzanne Mess's costumes ravishingly fit the mood.
And in soprano Sheri Greenawald, the opera had a heroine of ideal grace, beauty, and vocal quality that mezzo Frederica von Stade, who originated the role in the production when seen in Ottawa and Washington, could not begin to project. Three principals seen in Washington repeated the roles in San Francisco: Delia Wallis in the male role of Prince Charming; Maureen Forrester delightful as the stepmother; and Ruth Welting dazzling as the coloratura Fairy Godmother. Donald Gramm was disappointing as the father Pandolfe. In lesser roles, Robert Tate as the master of Ceremonies, and Kaaren Erickson and Laura Brooks Rice as the two sisters, shone. 'Queen of Spades'
"The Queen of Spades," or "Pikovaya Dama," is arguably Tchaikovsky's finest opera. The new production seen here is designed by Robert O'Hearn and directed by Nathaniel Merrill. The former's sets are handsome evocative, and often ideal , though some of his costumes seem a bit excessive. Mr. Merrill's direction proved perfunctory and not particularly alert to the psychological complexities of the characters so crucial to a clear projection of the drama, based on a Pushkin story.
Michail Svetlev's Gherman was not evenly sung, but his is a rip-roaringly elemental voice. When it works, it's exciting, when it doesn't well. . . He is a fine actor (most unusual in tenors), and at all times one knew what was going on in his character's mind. Teresa Zylis-Gara should have been a ideal Lisa, but she is having troubles producing the round gorgeous tones once her trademark. One trusts she will soon fing her way back to her pure way of singing, for she is an important talent and, on this occasion, a fine actress.
Tom Krause's Tomsky was somewhat underpowered, and Stephen Dickson made little impression as Yeletsky, who is graced with such a gorgeous aria. Susan Quittmeyer was the small-scaled Pauline.
It hardly seems possible that Regina Resnik could still be singing the role of the Countess. Yet she truned out to be in far better form than at the Met revival of '72. Though decked out in a rather ludicrous outfit ("Big Bird!," said a friend), she proved riveting in the big scene that leads to her death of fright. As is so often the case today, Miss Resnik proved there is no substitute for experience, and she proved it in a memorable manner.

Devi Sri Prasad for Varun TejMar 24, 2016 03:55 AM
Now that 'Rayabari' with Krish has been indefinitely postponed, Varun Tej is now concentrating on his movie with debutante Venky Atluri. This film, which is tentatively titled 'Feel My Love' will go on floors soon. The latest update is that Devi Sri Prasad has been roped in for the music of this movie.
Devi has been in a very good form of late. Many of his recent albums have topped the charts and mega fans are expecting one more lovely album. Though his performance has been appreciated, 'Loafer' didn't do well at the box-office as expected. So Varun's wait for a proper commercial hit continues and hope it will be over with this new movie.

Call of Duty's handheld offerings will all be developed by Activision Leeds in the future, it has been suggested.
Formed in 2011, the British studio will reportedly handle all mobile and handheld versions of the franchise, though it is unclear if that includes recently-announced title Call of Duty Black Ops 2: Declassified.
The news was revealed by UK games industry expert Andy Payne, who described Activision as a "machine" in an interview with VideoGamer.
"Activision are a machine. They're very good, and you know what, what people don't realise with Activision is, the two studios working on the Call of Duty franchise are collaborative studios," he said. "That's unheard of. All the assets are reusable, so they're not wasting time.
"The two studios are saying, 'I need a tank, pull it off from the library'. And those assets are also going to be starting to be used by the mobile team, which is going to be based in Leeds."
Activision Leeds is the latest studio to be confirmed for Call of Duty, following the announcement that former Tony Hawk developer Neversoft was hiring for the franchise.
The team is hiring senior level designers specialising in both single-player and multiplayer for its involvement in Activision's first-person shooter series.
Watch a trailer for Black Ops 2 below:

Hello everyone and welcome pack to What I Eat in a Day! Hope you are all having a fabulous and productive week. This week i'm still trying to adapt to having a rebellious puppy in the house, it can be quite difficult to get stuff done as he is always getting in my way, so I am feeling a little de-motivated and unproductive at the moment! Any tips for this would be greatly appreciated??? But I have made a plan and hopefully things will pick up. What are you up to this week? Any exciting plans? Anyway, the rant is now OVER, so on with yesterday's food...
Green Smoothie- Banana, Apple and Spinach.
Just the usual smoothie breakfast, I think I might actually be addicted to smoothies haha! I just love how many fruit and veg I can get in there :).
Broccoli and Pea Dip on Home-made Wheaten bread, sprinkled with feta and drizzled with extra virgin olive oil.
We didn't have any leftovers for lunch today so I had to come up with something different and let me tell you this was pretty tasty! Here's how I made the dip/spread:
Broccoli and Pea Dip/Spread Serves 1
1/2 Broccoli head ( I used frozen broccoli florets which worked really well)
handful of frozen peas
a clove of garlic
extra virgin olive oil
fresh mint
salt and pepper
1. Put broccoli in a small pan with a splash of boiled water, the crushed garlic clove, cover and steam until soft.
2. Add in frozen peas for last minute.
3. Drain the veg of all the water.
4. Add seasoning, a drizzle of olive oil and a bit of fresh mint.
5. Blend with a stick blender (or potato masher) until kind of smooth but still a bit textured.
6. Use as a dip for crudité or spread on some nice toasted bread, drizzle with more olive oil and sprinkle with feta just like I did.
This was such a tasty lunch and so simple to make. I sort of think of it like an alternative to avocado toast. Bold claim I know because it definitely isn't as hipster but it is equally delicious. You could also drizzle a little pesto over the top which is SOOOO yummy.
Sweet Potato and Spinach Frittata with Green Veg.
This frittata recipe comes from 'Save with Jamie' by Jamie Oliver. It is one of my favourite recipes in the book as it is just so easy and very very delicious. There's quite a bit of cheese in the frittata which is always a winner with me as I am a complete cheese addict. I served it with some more green veg, as I really don't think I had enough green in my diet yesterday haha!
Hot chocolate with marshmallows and some cookies.
I was feeling a little emotional and down last night and in need of some comfort food. So hot chocolate it was. I'm sorry there is no picture of this, it was demolished pretty quickly. Just imagine a HUGE hot chocolate, loaded with mini marshmallows and a big stack of cookies and you've got it!
And that's everything I ate yesterday, a pretty good food day for me :). I will be back on Friday with a pretty exciting recipe so stay tuned for that! Thank you so much for reading,
Rachael xx.

The Inquirer - "THE US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) wants to take down web sites that use the .com and .net top level domains (TLD) regardless of whether their servers are based in the US."
They are 100% US domains. Since those are the domains the US market uses and created. But obviously no government should be able to manipulate DNS.
Is this the part where I buy a .co instead of using .com? I doubt the US would go out of their way to shut down a more legal site just because they have the power to do so.
The U.S aint happy about the free flow of information & think they can rule the world,,but hay!Nothing new there.

Ryder Cup star Poulter wins $7 mn HSBC Champions
DONGGUAN, China (AFP) –
Ryder Cup hero Ian Poulter snatched a typically steely victory in the $7 million WGC-HSBC Champions Sunday when he shot seven-under-par 65 to settle a thrilling day's action at China's Mission Hills.
The Englishman started the last round four off the pace but he crafted eight birdies against a lone bogey — on the penultimate hole — before sealing a nerve-jangling, two-stroke win with a ice-cool par putt on the 18th.
Poulter fired rounds of 69, 68, 65 and 65 for a total score of 21-under-par 267, with Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Jason Dufner and Scott Piercy sharing second place on a congested leaderboard.
Overnight leaders Louis Oosthuizen and Lee Westwood faltered to finish a shot further back with Adam Scott eighth, defending champion Martin Kaymer ninth and Bill Haas 10th on the par-72 Olazabal Course.
Poulter claimed the $1.2 million winner's cheque with his first individual win of the season, and the 15th of his career — just a month after playing a key role in Europe's come-from-behind Ryder Cup triumph at Medinah.
"After the Ryder Cup I came here in good spirits. I played well last week and took a lot that I knew that if I did the right things this week and stayed patient I'd be right there at the end. It's just so nice to get another win," he said.
"It was a special day… I knew there was a good round of golf in me on this course."
Westwood and Oosthuizen started the day with a handy three-shot advantage over the chasing pack, but the South African's bogey on the very first hole was the cue for a spell of dramatic upheaval on the leaderboard.
Westwood gave up a two-shot lead when he double-bogeyed the fifth, but then inched back in front with a long birdie putt on the par-three eighth.
But Poulter and Mickelson were making a charge and when Westwood made bogey on 10, they joined the Englishman and Oosthuizen in a four-way tie for the lead at 19-under-par.
With half the round to play, 10 players were within three shots of each other at the top of the board, making it anyone's guess who would emerge with the Old Tom Morris Cup.
Poulter, turning in 32, leapt ahead with consecutive birdies on 10 and 11, and another on 14 gave him a two-shot cushion ahead of Mickelson and Kaymer, who put together five birdies in six holes after the halfway point.
Poulter looked in trouble when he bunkered his second shot greenside on the spectacular, par-five 15th, but he flopped out to 15 feet and then steadied himself to grittily hole it and extend his lead to three shots.
Westwood and Kaymer's assaults were over when they both thinned chips across different greens within minutes of each other, for bogey and double-bogey respectively.
Poulter looked home and dry, but a "disastrous" chip left him with a long par putt on the 17th and he just failed to down it, cutting his lead to one shot from Mickelson, who had two holes left to play.
And there was more drama when Poulter put his second shot on 18 into a bunker — but he chipped out to five feet and, in front of massed galleries at the Dongguan clubhouse, held his nerve to down the putt and make sure of the win.
"I feel confident when I'm in good form and I've been in good form for a little while," Poulter said. "It's just so nice to get my hands on another trophy."

MILAN - Promising young defender Michele Rigione has completed a move from Chievo to Inter's youth academy. The Italy Under-17 captain, born in 1991, joins Daniele Bernazzani's Allievi Nazionali team on loan from the Verona-based club. Inter have an option to buy the player at the end of the loan period.
With the addition of Rigione, there are now seven Italy Under-17 internationals in Bernazzani's squad. The others are strikers Mattia Destro and Simone Dell'Agnello, midfielders Marco Ezio Fossati and Davide Santon, defender Luca Caldirola and goalkeeper Alberto Gallinetta.
In other academy moves, Hungarian striker Gyorgy Nikischer (born 1990) joins Inter from Vac Varos in his native country, and will move on loan to Pro Sesto where he will play for the Serie C outfit's Juniores Berretti team. Midfielder Fabrizio Biava (born 1983) has completed a loan switch to Serie C2 side Pizzighettone.
