Currently Continental and Scandinavian Airlines operate two non-stop trans-Atlantic flights from Oslo. Besides that many Norwegians, including myself, use Icelandair and Iceland Express for a convenient Atlantic crossing. Business has been so good in 2011 that airlines either maintain or expand their schedules.
Transatlantic success for both Scandinavian Airlines and Continental
|Scandinavian air carrier over the Iberian peninsula
Scandinavian Airlines decided, March 2011, to start two daily flights to Newark Airport. Nobody believed that the crisis ridden airline would succeed where it failed in 2004. Results for the first two quarters have been good for Scandinavian Airlines. The demand for tickets to the US has been so high, that both competitors are doing well. So well, in fact, that Scandinavian even may extend the number of flights to Newark this coming season.
Iceland - an important hub for Scandinavians traveling to the US
|Flying over Iceland in February 2007
Lately, Iceland Express, has launched seasonal flights from Oslo to Keflavik with direct ongoing flights to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. Iceland Express has recently decided to extend the season through October.
So all air carriers flying from Norway to the US are experiencing good times, and Norwegians have a greater choice than ever if we want to cross the Herring Pond. This is a win-win for all, but the question one must ask is whether these good times will last.

Some Previous Comments from our Guests
"Beautiful house, great location"
Reviewed 23 August 2014 for a stay in August 2014
Arrived here after long trip over from England
to relive some memories from childhood. This
house is great, sleeps six with loads of room,
great location, 2 minutes from the beach. The
house had everything well stocked, clean and
warm. Ideal for days out and only 30 minutes
from the centre of Belfast.,
Exceptional place"
Reviewed 30 October 2014 for a stay in October 2014
To say that this is home from home
underestimates this property as it is probably
better than most people's homes! A beautiful,
comfortable house where everything was
provided. The views from the upstairs rooms
were breathtaking especially at this time of year.
Seconds from a lovely beach where you can
take a variety of beautiful walks. Just 30 minutes
from Belfast but right in the middle of the most
fantastic area with plenty for everyone to do. I
cannot recommend it enough.
"Great for the whole family"
Reviewed 23 September 2013 for a stay in August 2013
My wife and I rented this home on Cove Avenue in August 2013.
We have a six year old and two year old twins, traveling from
New York. We wanted somewhere close to extended family in
Bangor, and close to the beach. This was perfect.
The house is huge, and in great condition. It was well furnished,
and the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and modern. The
kitchen was huge. It had everything we needed to cook for the
family and guests, and best of all, the patio doors opened to the
garden so the kids could play in the garden while we cooked and
ate. It was home from home.
The Sun room is what makes this house special. It's raised up so
you can see clearly across Belfast Lough and over to Scotland.
On a clear day we saw Elsa Craig, the Arran Island and could just
make out the Mull of Kintyre. Most nights we sat and watched the
sun set.
The beach is very close, there's a path right across the street.
Most mornings we would walk around to Orlock or into
Groomsport, and on toward Ballymacormick Point. People are
friendly and we chatted with a lot of the locals. Most afternoons
we spent on the beach playing in the rock pools when the tide
was out. The kids loved it.
There were also events going on at the Cockle Row cottages,
and we stopped by the Eagle Wing festival with storytelling and
face painting and glitter tattoos, and my daughter got to do some
sword dancing.
Stella was very helpful, we arranged everything by email and she
was always available to answer questions.

(scenes from SXSW 2005 : Matador co-owner, Austin resident for all of 15 minutes politely instructs a motorist to "go the fuck back where you came from" before recognizing his dog's veterinarian)
It's that time of year, when the fair of city of Austin is besieged by thousands of aspiring musicians, label creeps, bloggers, tech pimps, cinema parasites and self-styled marketing reptiles, all of 'em urinating in my front garden on their way to and from some dubious "showcase" or launch party designed to appeal to their MOST CRAVEN INSTINCTS. I watch all of this from my front porch, my air rifle sitting atop a cooler of Guyaki Yerba Matte, wondering exactly how much jail time I'd serve for shooting the bluetooth earpiece off the skull of a gentleman trying to negotiate a contract at the foot of my driveway.
At which point, I'm reminded that he's actually a guest in my home and our conference call that I've been ignoring is already 10 minutes old. Where are my manners? Sure, Austin's chock-a-block with SCHMUCKS ON THE MAKE this week, but who am I to point an accusatory finger at these lovely visitors when they provide this label with such a fabulous opportunity to hawk our wares? The following Matador artists are playing (too many times) in Austin this week. Shows marked * will require an SXSW badge or wristband for priority entry ; happily, such gigs are in the overwhelming minority compared to the open-to-the-
great unwashed public events listed below. I look forward to seeing you around town this week, and thank you again for keeping Austin, TX's property values well above the national average.

Is e-gov worth it?
Following Mike Cross' piece in the Guardian nearly 2 weeks ago, there was a bit of a flurry of press this week on usage (or lack of it) of government websites. We've been here before of course, and I was pleased to see Bill Thompson over at Voxpolitics say (in a sentiment that I can wholeheartedly agree with): "It would be a tragedy if the growing pile of negative reports led to a loss of faith in the project as a whole - rather than just prompting people to try to do it better, learn from their mistakes and provide services that people want and will use" What caused the flurry was yet another survey, by Portfolio Communications (I'm guessing that that's their website as I can't find the research report on it), and reported by Netimperative and ZDnet at least, says that (in a sample of 1,000) only 7% of people access local government services online during 2002, but that "over 40 percent of 18 to 34 year-olds would prefer to use the Web to access information", and therefore "Public take-up of local government online services will remain low for at least the next 10 years". Portfolio's director, Mark Westaby, said: "Fast pay-back is a key driver of public sector services, but this research suggests that the trend towards use of online local government services is unlikely to increase dramatically until today's younger generation gets significantly older. Clearly, this is not going to happen for some considerable time, possibly a decade or longer. As a result it will be vital for government not only to ensure that online services are available, but also that local communities are educated about the benefits of using them and are fully incentivised to do so." What's interesting for me is that people are not saying "I tried it and it was crap, so I didn't go back", they're saying that they haven't even looked yet to see if there is anything worthwhile. Given that we have more than 50% of people online, there's still a big part of the population that have the wherewithall to access services, but have not been persuaded to make the jump ... so is that a marketing problem? We're talking about local government services in this case, where finding your local council website is usually pretty easy (mine is www.southwark.gov.uk), so there's no trying to figure out which bit of government you need to talk to. A while ago I put a slide up at a conference (and this was before Mike's leap of faith point), wondering whether we were finally "leaping ahead" in e-government - having broken down the initial barriers. The slide looked like this: I did have a bunch of leaping frogs in there, but everytime I pasted it into my blog, they came up with white backgrounds (instead of blue) and made the slide too hard to read. You'll have to ask me to show you that slide, in its full animated glory, at a conference sometime. You'll see the quote from Gartner (which I think was a May 2002 quote) saying that the benefits of e-government will be delayed past 2010, that many projects will fail and, separately, that we'll spend a lot of money and that silos are still the biggest barrier. Not a lot has changed since then, except that there might just be a recognition that two of the key planks of the strategy will be marketing and education. It's difficult if not impossible to market 1800 websites, so there's an argument in there for rationalisation or at the very least cross-linking (if you visit many government websites now, you'll see ad banners for other government sites - something that my team introduced a month ago or so on the basis that we can advertise on our own sites for free and on a hunch that cross-traffic might be easy to generate. Results aren't in yet, but I'm expecting it to work well). Education is a bit harder - the 6,000+ ukonline centres are part of it, as will be the campaign in the Spring that the PM talked about at the e-summit, but I don't see us waiting 10 years to get mainstream usage. By then, all the investment we have put in to date may be redundant and I'd hate to think that we wouldn't get some kind of return! But the real deal, if this survey is to be believed, is that people aren't bothered to look for government services - which might mean that they have few interactions and so don't go out of their way when they do have them, or it might mean that, as I believe, we've failed the neighbour test, i.e. that noone has ever said to someone else "I just looked on that blahblah.gov.uk site and got myself a £100 extra tax credit a month" ... which is a shame, because you just might if you look. And if you do, will you promise to tell your neighbour? I wonder whether we should put a mail form at the end of that site that says "tell 2 friends about this by putting their e-mail addresses here"? Might work. Incidentally, you folks at Voxpolitics have been very quiet recently, hope everything is ok or is just that not much happens in democracy in January?

ISLAMABAD, Aug 22: The federal government has provided an additional amount of $50 million to the ministry of communications to complete the first phase of the Gwadar deep-sea port project by June 2006.
Official sources told Dawn on Monday that the additional funding has been provided for installation of necessary equipment and completion of civil work and roads linking the port with Quetta and other areas. The sources said that the government had decided 'not' to allow any work on the second phase of the project till the completion of the first phase, which was originally scheduled to be competed by April this year at a cost of $248 million.
The Chinese side working on the project has completed its work while the local authorities have completed the development of infrastructure, including the road from Gwadar to Karachi. "The port will now be operational by June 2006," the sources said. They said work on the second phase would be undertaken hopefully in July at a cost of $865 million. It would be completed by 2010. The second phase to be executed by the private sector will enable the port to accommodate 50,000 DWT container ships, 100,000 DWT dry bulk carriers and up to 200,000 DWT oil tankers. It will have three container terminals, one bulk cargo terminal, one grain handling terminal, one twin-pier oil terminal, breakwater, approach channel, back-up areas, craft and equipment and buildings. The first phase, being built by the public sector with the Chinese assistance, includes three multipurpose berths, one service berth, 4.35 km navigable channel, roads, plinths and transit shed, operational craft and equipment and shore-based port buildings and allied facilities.
The sources said that completion of phase-2 would help meet strategic needs and provide standby facility to Port Qasim and Karachi port in case of emergencies. "If the private sector does not respond favourably, public sector financing will be required to develop phase-2 of the port," the sources said. Officials said that Gwadar would have an edge over Port Salalah of Oman and Iran's Port Chah Bahar even after its proposed up gradation. Gwadar is expected to serve as the mother port at the strategic location opposite the Straits of Hormuz and on the mouth of Gulf and provide port, warehousing, trans-shipment and industrial facilities for trade with over 20 countries including the Gulf states, Central Asian Republics, Iran, East Africa, countries along the Red Sea and north-western parts of the People's Republic of China and India. With the completion of both the phases, a special industrial development zone over an area of 4,000 hectares is proposed to be set up. An export processing zone has also been planned for assembling plants and other industries which are to be set up by prospective manufacturers of products to be marketed in the Gulf and Central Asian Republics.

Five Tips For Riding A Recession: An Executive's How-To Guide
1. Sell more at any cost to you. Take resources away from somewhere else in your business (ex. quality or design) and devote those resources to selling more of that lower quality product. Customers will appreciate that you are spending more time and money trying to get more time and money from them, and will forgive you for a slightly inferior product. Don't be surprised if one of your customers says, "I like you guys more than your competitor because you guys focus more on what is important to you than us. That is just smart business." Hot Tip! Revenue is more important than any other facet of your business, including profit.
2. Micromanage your employees. Tighten your grip on their daily activities by requesting frequent status reports and knowledge of everything they are doing. You will achieve greater respect and trust from them because they will think things like, "Hey, this supervisor really cares about every minute of my day," and, "I love planning to tell and telling someone about all the productivity I am planning to do as soon as this meeting/email/check-in is over."
3. Label your employees with easy sterotypes. Plan ahead for downsizing by classifying staff as either "revenue generating" or "non-revenue generating". This helps them see the black-and-white truth: that some of them are not really adding monetary value to the company; they are just there to make the company look like a company. When they understand this truth, all the non-revenue generating employees will gladly accept salary reductions or even proactively quit on their own. Hot tip! This means you don't have to do any unpleasant firing!
4. Know who butters your bread. Time Saver Alert! The degree to which you listen to people should be based on the power of their title. When an employee below you sends you an email with a suggestion to improve the business, ignore it. Or, if they manage to talk to you in person, nod your head slowly and say, "mmm" and "mmmhm" while you consider your leisure activities for the weekend). Disclaimer! If you think the employee's idea will please your boss, present it to him/her as an idea for the company that "our team" came up with - it sends a powerful message about the value of socialism in these financially troublesome times.
5. This tip is no longer working here.

The Carissima Sheath From Anthropologie Disproves Designer Burnout
This dress has seemingly been around forever.
San Francisco-based designer Byron Lars debuted the Carissima Sheath in 2012 at NYFW, and it hit stores as an Anthropologie exclusive in 2013, which is when I first tried it on and took a dressing room selfie.
And despite everything you think you know about retail patterns, the life cycle of trends, and so-called "designer burnout" the Carissima is still standing. Now, over two years later, season after season have seen this dress slaying on store racks and social media, all the while avoiding the "Additional Sale-on-Sale" section.
What Lars, and Anthropologie, have quietly managed to do is quite the feat. They have discovered an immortal retail formula that I'm not sure has been achieved since the Dawn of Fast Fashion.
Think about it: Even the most iconic designer pieces get a facelift each season. Diane von Furstenberg's wrap dresses, Donna Karan's "Seven Easy Pieces," heck, even Chanel bags wouldn't dare to show up on shelves without the occasional update.
But Byron Lars and Anthropologie have been selling - and selling and selling - this exact same dress for nearly three years now, and it's still as beloved today as it was when it first launched.
Yet over in the buzzy world of high-end fashion, designers and creative directors are dropping like flies, citing "burn out" as the force driving them out of prestigious houses. Alexander Wang exited Balenciaga, Donna Karan left her own label, Alber Elbaz is out at Lanvin, and Raf Simmons just gave his notice to Dior. All referenced, in ways both subtle and overt, an immense strain on their creativity brought on by constantly having to churn out collections and content. (Some markets necessitate up to six collections a year now, triple the old Fall/Winter-and-Spring/Summer model that was the norm even just a few years ago.) John Galliano, formerly of Dior, is thought to have been driven to madness by the house's punishing schedule, ultimately resulting in an anti-Semitic tirade that led to his firing.
As Suzy Menkes puts it in her piece "Why Fashion is Crashing" in British Vogue, "designers - by their nature sensitive, emotional and artistic people - are being asked to take on so much. Too much."
Which is why it's especially remarkable that while "fast fashion" is most commonly associated with high street retailers like H&M, Zara, and even Anthropologie, it's actually the high-end designers that are suffering whiplash from the industry's new breakneck speed, while indie designer Byron Lars is enjoying the long, successful run of one of his designs.
It's the quintessential "tortoise and the hare" story told through lace and best-dressed lists.
Just how successful is this dress? It has become iconic in its own right, without the name recognition of an international luxury house or the marketing and advertising budgets of a conglomerate like LVMH or Kering, and without the need or expectation to churn out more and more. The Carissima Sheath has been reviewed more times (over 300 and counting) on Anthro's website than any other item. And, it has appeared on more celebrities walking down red carpets and in more television shows than any one silhouette from Dior or Lanvin, for example.
Still, even Lars is shocked by the success of the dress. "Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined a single dress I designed to have had such (full-price) retail longevity," he told me in an interview, which I published earlier this year over at Bustle.com. "[It has] by far surpassed all of our expectations by a long shot!"
I finally got my hands on the dress, which was sent to me by Anthropologie after I wrote about it for my Bustle article. It's as lovely now as it was all 118 weeks ago. (That selfie I took was uploaded to Instagram, which has been keeping count for me.)
Some designers and industry insiders might turn their noses up at a $258 dress, but it's done what many top houses have failed to do with their collections: Last.

GrillGrate 5-Panel Replacement Grill Grate Set For Weber Genesis Gas Grills With Grate Tool
Product Info Guide
Recommended Accessories
Key Features
- Panels fit over any grill surface or can be used as drop-in replacement cooking grates (panels connect together to fit any grill width)
- Raised rail design amplifies heat, evens out hot/cold spots, reduces flare-ups and delivers excellent sear marks
- Enhances food flavor as juices drip into the hot valleys, sizzling and steaming back into the food
- Hard anodized aluminum is durable, rust resistant and superior heat conductor
- Fits Weber Genesis, Summit 420, Summit 470 and other gas grills that measure 19 1/2 inches from front to back
GrillGrates are the ultimate upgrade to your Weber Genesis gas grill. The interlocking panels fit over the grill surface to amplify heat, even out hot/cold spots and reduce flare-ups. GrillGrates can be used as a drop-in replacement to your existing Weber grates or simply cover them. Use one set to cover part of your grill, or connect multiple panels together to cover more surface area. Made from hard anodized aluminum, GrillGrates offer more efficient heat conductivity compared to cast iron or steel, delivering fast, even cooking and perfect sear lines. Hard anodized aluminum is rust resistant, extremely durable and also able to withstand heat up to 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The underside pattern blocks flare-ups, preventing food from charring or drying out. Juices and drippings from your food fall into the hot valleys between the grates, sizzling and steaming into flavor. The fat drains off and burns in the bottom of the grill grate and not on the outside of your food. The GrateTool prongs fit between and below the rails to lift not scrape food on the grill and also doubles as a cleaning tool to clear the valleys of build-up. This grill surface set includes five 5 1/4 W X 19 1/4 D (25 1/2-inch total width) interlocking GrillGrate panels, grate tool, user guide and recipe booklet.

Big Day in DU sports history.
DU's last NCAA tournament victory was in the 1970 NCAA Far West Regional, when DU beat San Jose State ,2-1 before losing to UCLA, 3-1 two days later.
Forty-five years between NCAA tourney wins is too long.

Lower Moreland Township Department of Public Works maintains five parks located within the community. These parks are utilized by our residents and our sports organization, Huntingdon Valley Activities Association (HVAA). Rules and Regulations are posted at the entrance of each park and we courteously ask that they be followed.
Valley Center Park
Lower Moreland's newest park is located at 445 Red Lion Road adjacent to Lower Moreland High School. The park consists of 31 acres for active and passive recreation. Its current amenities and features include a lighted synthetic multisport field, restroom / concession building, park pavilion, a playground and one mile nature trail through the Fairway Farm open space preserve. The 90,000 square foot state-of-the-art synthetic field supports a variety of sports including soccer, field hockey, lacrosse and more. Field rental timeslots may be available for a single event or a season when not in use as the home field for Lower Moreland High School and HVAA Soccer. For more information, please visit our Valley Center Park page.
Lower Moreland Park
Nestled in the Township's largest development, Albidale, Lower Moreland Park spans 19 acres and contains three baseball fields, one basketball court, two tennis courts, two pickleball courts and multiple soccer fields. There are swings, a play structure with slides present for the children. The Township constructed a walking path that marks the perimeter of Lower Moreland Park; all residents are encouraged to use this new trail whether for exercise or leisure. Many of the community's youth athletic league games, sponsored by HVAA, take place on the playing fields of Lower Moreland Park. Parking is available off of both Warfield Drive and Wheatsheaf Lane.
Elkins Field
Located near the intersection of Philmont Avenue (Rt. 63) and Huntingdon Pike (Rt. 232) on six (6) well-maintained acres, Elkins Field is geared mainly towards athletic pursuits, and used for organized sports by HVAA. Always open for community pick-up games, Elkins Field contains a baseball field with bleachers for spectators, a full-size basketball court and a soccer field.

In addition to a softball field with homerun fence, two tennis courts, a basketball court, and micro-soccer field, Ridgway contains a large play area for children of various ages off to the side with picnic tables and benches for adult supervision. Named after resident Alice Ridgway's father, Ridgway Park's creek-lined fields are also home to many HVAA youth sports games.

Trying to build credit when you have no credit what so ever can be difficult since most credit cards are only offered to people with established credit. There in lays the catch 22 of trying to build credit. There are still cards that you can obtain which are designed for people with no credit history. Responsible use of one of these cards can help you to build up your credit.
The hardest part is obtaining your first credit card. You need to pursue offers that you can reasonably be assured that you qualify for, for example applying for an American Express gold card is totally out of the question if you have no credit history. You may need to opt for a secured credit card. These will require a security deposit, which will be returned to you after a set amount of time has passed. The card will look and act in all respects just like any other credit card. This allows you to build up not only a credit score but also a good payment history. Other cards to consider include student credit cards and store brand credit cards. Store brand credit cards tend to have very high interest rates, so be prepared to pay off your entire balance each month to avoid interest charges.
One thing to keep in mind is that any card aimed at someone who has no credit will carry a high interest rate. It is not uncommon for these type of credit cards to carry interest rates of 30 percent or higher. The terms and conditions are also not very favorable, for instance many carry a monthly fee plus an annual fee. Another thing to watch out for is cards which offer no grace period. A grace period allows you to pay off your balance and avoid interest. These type of cards are known in the industry as fee harvester cards. Your only real option here is to build up a responsible payment history and wait it out 12 months to 18 months then apply for a real credit card elsewhere once you have built up your credit score and credit history.
When it is time to open a better credit card up, pick just one. The reason being is that every time you apply for credit anywhere you get hit with what is known as an inquiry. Multiple inquiries will result in a dip to your credit score, lasting anywhere from 6 months to about 1 year. If you need or want to better credit cards stagger out the applications by at least 6 months. You can get rid of the fee harvester card 6 months after you receive your new credit card without effecting your credit score too much.
You should start out with just one credit card. Learning how to use the card responsibly is an important first step towards building your credit score. Once you have a credit score and have used your card responsibly by paying your credit card statements on time each month, you can then decide if having more than one open account is right for you. Having multiple cards open at one time if you have never had credit cards could lead to disaster.
Below is my top pick credit card for people new to credit:
Credit One Bank® Credit Card with Gas Rewards
This card is for people with no credit or poor credit. While the interest rate is somewhat high it is not as bad as it could be. This card also offers rewards, at least at the gas pump, where you will get cash back for gas purchases. Rewards cards for people with little to no credit are almost unheard of. it has an annual fee between $35 and $99 and an interest rate varies between 17.9% – 23.90%. Approval rates for this credit card are very high so this one makes the top of my list.

When I first started making homemade dog treats in my kitchen, I always thought I had to follow others' dog treat recipes to a tee.
But you don't have to do that.
To make homemade dog treats, you simply need:
#1 – A base (to give the dog treat some substance)
#2 – Some liquid (to give the dog treat added flavor)
#3 – One or more tasty ingredients (that are safe for dogs to eat)
At least one of the above ingredients must contain something sticky (like an egg, honey, molasses, peanut butter) to hold everything together during baking.
DIY Dog Treat Recipe Ingredients
The only reason that this simple formula works is because dogs aren't as picky as humans when it comes to:
- Look – how things look, in terms of color and texture; and
- Taste – many dogs are happy to ingest anything they're given to snack on.
Whenever I want to make my own dog treat recipe using ingredients that I already have on hand, I generally follow Amy Jorgensen's example for making homemade dog treats:
Ingredients You Need: Although different recipes exist for homemade dog mints, all of them start with a base of flour, oatmeal or cornmeal. You can use whichever you have around the house. You'll need 3½ cups of whichever you choose. Moisten the dry ingredient with 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil. If you do not want to use that much oil, supplement with water, but use at least half of the recommended vegetable oil. For added flavor, use three-quarters of a cup to 1 cup of chicken broth. You can add some cheddar cheese if your dog likes that flavor. You will need one egg to hold all of the ingredients together for baking.
Baking Instructions: When you start combining ingredients, start preheating your oven to 400 degrees. Combine everything except your base (the flour, cornmeal or oatmeal) and your egg in a food processor. You can also blend with a hand mixer in a pinch. Once the mixture is thoroughly combined, mix it into your base ingredient. Then beat the egg and mix it into the ingredients. Knead the combination and form a ball of dough. If you need more water or broth, you can add a little bit more, as long as the dough remains sticky and a little grainy. Roll out the dough, cut out designs using cookie cutters or the rim of a cup, and bake for up to 20 minutes.
Dog Recipes Using Ingredients You Already Have
Based on all of the homemade dog treat recipes I've tried, following are some of the best dog-friendly ingredients you can use to make your very own custom homemade dog treat recipes.
The theory here is similar to the online tools that help you find recipes that use ingredients you already have on hand.
Remember the formula: Base Ingredient + Liquid Ingredient + Tasty Ingredient(s)
BASE INGREDIENTS That Are Safe For Dogs
- Flour (wheat flour, oat flour, rice flour, brown rice flour, buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour)
- Cornmeal
- Oatmeal (oats, rolled oats, or old-fashioned oatmeal)
Here are some great tips for flour substitutions and how much of each type of flour to use.
LIQUID INGREDIENTS That Are Safe For Dogs
- Water
- Milk
- Egg
- Maple syrup
- Corn syrup
- Honey
- Chicken broth
- Beef broth
- Vegetable stock
Here's what you need to know before giving your dog milk and dairy products.
TASTY INGREDIENTS That Are Safe For Dogs
- Applesauce
- Peanut butter
- Bananas
- Bacon
- Liver
- Cheese
- Pumpkin
Here's the ultimate list of human food ingredients that are safe for dogs… and which ones are NOT!
The Takeaway:
If you find a recipe for homemade dog treats that you like, but you're an ingredient or 2 short, just use the above list to find a substitute!
That way, you truly can turn any dog treat recipe into one that is based on ingredients that you actually have on hand.
I like to help people find unique ways to do things in order to save time & money — so I write about "outside the box" ideas that most wouldn't think of. As a lifelong dog owner, I often share my best tips for living with and training dogs. I worked in Higher Ed over 10 years before switching gears to pursue activities that I'm truly passionate about. I've worked at a vet, in a photo lab, and at a zoo — to name a few. I enjoy the outdoors via bicycle, motorcycle, Jeep, or RV.

Historically, a rack was a torture instrument. Nowadays, a rack is also a slang term used in the US to refer to a woman's breasts. As a verb, to rack means 'to torture or torment someone' or 'to strain both physically and mentally.' Example sentences • Rachel keeps all her shoes on a rack in the hall. • We have a rack for spices in the kitchen, so we can easily find what we need. • Prisoners used to be stretched on the rack during interrogations. • Terry has a thing for women with a nice rack. • Julie knew the accident was her fault and she was racked with guilt. • The little boy was crying, his body racked by sobs. Words often used with rack rack your brains (or brain): try hard to think of something. Example: "I've been racking my brains trying to come up with a solution to this problem, but I just can't think of anything!" off the rack (US): used to describe clothes that are ready-made, as opposed to custom-made. This is called off the peg in the UK. Example: "In the past, custom-made clothes were the norm among the upper class, but now many people just buy things off the rack." Additional information Rack is also a variant spelling of wrack, meaning 'collapse' or 'destruction.' Wrack, or rack, is especially used in the phrase "wrack and ruin," meaning 'the downfall of something or somebody.' Example: "This used to be a successful business, but after the new manager took over, it went to wrack and ruin." Did you know? A rack is also the triangular frame used to set up pool balls before starting a game, and to rack up means 'to put the balls in the rack.' Rack up also has a figurative sense and means 'to achieve or earn.' Example: "The baseball team racked up a string of victories at the beginning of the season." Origin First used in the late 13th century, rack comes from the Middle English word rakke or rekke, which came from the Middle Dutch word rac, rec, or recke, meaning 'frame with bars.' It is related to the Middle Low German word reck, and the German word Reck. The verb, which comes from the Old English word reccan, was first used in the 15th century, and meant 'to stretch out.'

Good Friday Offering
2019 Good Friday/Easter Offering
Good Friday - April 19th, 2019
Easter Sunday - April 21st 2019
Since 1922, Anglican/Episcopal church congregations have supported the ministries of the Middle East Church through the Good Friday Offering. This year the situation of Christians and Churches across the Middle East has become significantly more complex and difficult in many countries. Support for their presence and witness is vital.
Good Friday collections will help fund the ministries of the dioceses in the region such as hospitals, schools and other social welfare programmes that serve local communities of all faiths.
Archbishop Josiah Oduwu-Fearon (General Secretary to the Anglican Communion) spoke at the recent JMECA meeting highlighting the importance of the next generation of Christians. Young people aged 10-24 years now make up a third of the population and 90% of them live in countries where they will face a lack of access to education, good healthcare and employment opportunities.
Providing support and opportunities for the young and vulnerable is a key focus of the bishops in the Holy Land. Following his election as Primate for the Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East, Archbishop Suheil wrote:
"We celebrate the work of the church in our Province: the establishment of schools and hospitals which serve some of the poorest and most marginalised individuals whose suffering is so great. We celebrate because these institutions are a living symbol of the love of Christ for all."
JMECA invites parishes to dedicate their Good Friday or Easter collections to support the work of the Anglican Church in the Middle East and to join together in prayer for our brothers and sisters in the Holy Land this Easter.

Good Friday Walk of Witness in Jerusalem
For 150 years, the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East has borne, in a special way, the responsibility of sharing the cross of Jesus.
- by helping to maintain the Christian witness in the Holy Land
- by serving all of God's People there in a variety of ministries throughout the four dioceses,
- by proclaiming the gospel and promoting justice, peace and love.

Audio transcript: On Brooklyn College in the early seventies and confronting accessibility issues as a member of SOFEDUP [Student Organization for Every Disability United for Progress]
Note: Transcripts have been lightly edited; therefore there may be slight discrepancies with audio clips.
It's ridiculous how—you go back. We always tell stories about the experiences we had in this school. I remember sitting with an architect, one of the engineering architects, about making a building accessible. We said, "We want a ramp to compensate for those four steps," because he wanted to do something around the back of the building, which was totally ridiculous because in case you went from the quad to that building you would have to go all around the building that's almost a block wide. I said, "No, you're going to put a ramp." I think his most disturbing idea was another ramp that's going to take away from the quad that is beautiful. You had the fountains and you had the green area and all the paths crisscrossing. Brooklyn College is a pretty campus. He was like, "Another wooden ramp that's going to interfere with the aesthetics." And this was going to be a long wooden ramp. So he says, "Look, I have an idea. Why don't we compromise? Instead of making this forty-four foot long ramp we could make a twenty-eight foot ramp. We will ramp the first two steps." I was sitting there and looked at him and said "And what the heck am I supposed to do with the next two steps?" He just couldn't understand it. The aesthetics came first. The practicality was something that they couldn't comprehend.
So those were the people that we were up against. People like Fred Francis and the gentleman I mentioned before, Professor Harvey Honig, who also taught in City University [City University of New York]—these guys were determined to make the City University accessible even before Section 504 became the law, and they did.

Catharine Arnold is a popular historian whose work on the hinterland of London, namely, its mad, its dead and its sexually voracious, has garnered her a reputation for being entertaining. She has a light touch when dealing with dark topics. Her latest book exploits her self-confessed appetite for sensational crime and gruesome punishment. It is a chronological account of theft, murder and riot, and the concurrent methods of restraining the population in the capital.
She starts in 1303, with "the biggest robbery for six centuries". It was a classic stakeout job. The burglars waited for Edward I to leave his palace. They then scaled the walls with a ladder, broke into the treasury and helped themselves to booty worth £20million in today's currency. Edward's officers discovered an inside job plotted by the churchwarden and keeper of the Palace of Westminster. What became of them no one could say, until, in 1863, Sir Gilbert Scott was restoring St Margaret's. He discovered concealed entrances to the king's treasury covered in human skin.
Arnold moves swiftly on to successive centuries featuring cutpurses, coin clippers, highway robbers, and fit-up jobs, as well as notorious spouse-killers. The most disturbing aspect of her breathless account is the history of capital punishment. It is presented as always cruel and never effective in stemming the tide of wrongdoers. The road to Tyburn is the Via Dolorosa of her book, and we watch our villains drawn or carted to their deaths in varying attitudes of terror and remorse.
There are some nice little sketches along the way. For example, she gives us Gamaliel Ratsey (hanged 1605), gentleman and highway robber, who plundered the rich and demanded Latin orations when holding up scholars. Claude Du Vall was "the prince of highwaymen", operating the Islington to Highgate route. He danced with his lady victims before extorting large sums from their husbands. On his procession to the gallows in 1670, women of all ranks strew his path with flowers.
Arnold clearly favours the highwayman: her pen-portraits sparkle with the notoriety and swagger of these romantic figures.
Subsequently there is less to scintillate the taste buds, and Arnold's account moves efficiently along into the modern era where her prose style carries all the charisma of a menu. What would have given depth to her approach would have been more psychological probing. She mentions sadism once and "poor impulse control" on the part of Dick Turpin. Apart from that, we get the Krays as psychopaths, and the pathos of Hanratty and Ruth Ellis. Arnold has lost her appetite by now. It would be hard to blame her. Ultimately, it is the mechanics of hanging, quartering, garrotting and burning that leave a bad taste in the mouth.

IM: Re-Entry. It Ain't Going Well./
Here's a soul-bearing moment: I'm destroying my new book's future. And I have no one but myself to blame.
The book has been for two months. During that time, I should have been (and should be) tweeting and blogging and Facebooking and writing op-ed pieces and spreading the word far, wide, and everywhere in between.
And I'm not.
But I've figured out why. (Yeah, okay, total Sad Sack am I that it took me this long and four books to figure it out.)
When I'm working on a book, I live in the past. Wherever that book's topic takes me, that's where I live. Eighteenth century, nineteenth century, post-World-War-II, pre-World-War-I.
Anyplace but here in Ames, Iowa, in the United States in whatever year it happens to be.
Fine. Dandy. Except when the book is finished and published. Then I'm supposed to shift time zones and live in the present. And I'm here to tell you: The adjustment ain't easy. The week the book came out, I likened the moment to a crash landing of a space capsule: For seven years, I'd been racing toward earth and on November 12, 2013, the capsule re-entered atmosphere and BAM!, I was back on earth.
The more accurate description is that for seven years I've wandered the landscape of the past and now that I'm back in the present, I can't figure out what to do or even, I'm sorry to say and apologies for the unintentional hyperbole, who I am. I mean, "I" have been living in the past. And now "I" am supposed to start living in the present and, well . . . .
As excuses for laziness, this is probably off-the-charts stupid, to say nothing of whiney and narcissistic. What can I say? I'm all of the above. Alas.
So what I am doing? Nothing. Re-orienting myself to the present. Staring at the sky for hours on end. Not thinking, at least not intentionally.
And not "working." So, okay. End of soul-bearing. Now that I've admitted the problem, I'm presumably on the road to recovery, right? Isn't that the core of the step programs? (Or whatever they're called.)
Right. So. I shall now retire to my sky-gazing and wait for brilliant thoughts to come my way. Or, hey, thoughts, period. Something. Anything.
'Cuz at the moment, I got nuthin.

One pan meal alert! Chicken with sauteed spinach and feta consists of barely any prep time and takes just a few minutes to cook! Easy weeknight meal WIN! You're Welcome.
If I'm not planning on stuffing my chicken breasts I always buy the chicken that comes sliced thin. It's just so convenient. I don't have to waste time trimming the chicken or pounding it out with the meat hammer… (you know what I'm talking about) It's just gross, no matter what I do I feel like there is salmonella flying around everywhere, HAHAHA (and if you know me at ALL, you know I'm a neat freak). If you can't find it already sliced ask the meat butcher. If they are kind they will slice it for you.
I prepare this whole meal in one saute pan so cleanup is minimal. Besides chopping some garlic (unless you have some already stored from my tip on prepping garlic) there really isn't much to do. I hope you enjoy!
*** (Side note on the chicken: When you buy it already sliced it's typically just one breast and has approximately 4 slices in the package. I say it serves four basing it on one slice per person but depending on your needs you may need to use another package of chicken) ***
Chicken with Spinach and Feta
- 1 package thinly sliced chicken breast *** read note above***
- 16 oz. bag of fresh spinach
- 3 cloves chopped garlic (approx 1 tbsp.)
- 8 oz. Crumbled Feta Cheese
- Dried Italian Seasoning
- Dried Basil
- Salt and Pepper
- Vegetable Oil
- In a large saute pan add just enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pan and turn heat to medium
- Season both sides of chicken with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and basil (to taste). I say that because I go fairly heavy on the dried basil and others may like more or less of another spice. (If you are not sure, mix a tbsp. of the Italian seasoning and basil plus a tsp. of salt and pepper in a bowl and sprinkle over each slice of chicken on each side).
- Once pan is hot enough add your chicken and cook 4-5 minutes on each side until chicken is cooked through and golden brown. It shouldn't take too long since they are sliced so thin
- Once cooked, remove from pan and set aside.
- Add the garlic to the heated pan and stir quickly, you don't want the garlic to burn
- Add the Spinach to the pan (you may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your pan. My pan is fairly large and I had to add it in 3 separate times. You don't need to take the wilted spinach out before adding more, just keep adding it in, it's fine) should take less than 5 minutes till its completely wilted.
- After all the spinach has wilted turn off heat, add the feta, give it a good toss and remove from stove-top.
- Top your chicken with the sauteed spinach or serve on the side.

The Brimley Hat Brim Company manufactures only brims for hats, not hats themselves, and has seen better days in the hilariously robust comedy, "Brims – the Sequel." Not only is a Paraguayan brim cartel pressuring the bungling board of directors to sell, but also internal strife has turned the Board into a confederacy of dunces. Greed and the smell of easy money causes secret and zany liaisons amongst board members, revealing law suits, embezzlement, and sexual power plays. However, when the money finds its most unusual route into the hands of a most unsuspecting person, the nightmare of betrayal begins.
A great opportunity to be at a first reading of a new play with feedback and direction of the playwrights.
Cost: $10
WICA Play Café classes provide an environment for experienced, beginning, and novice actors to gather for readings, to learn reading and performance technique, and to become acquainted with a broad theatrical repertoire without the pressure of a full performance.

While I am getting all settled in I'm finding that I'm perplexed as to where to my put things. I want to shake things up a bit in my new space and I think mixing metallics is just the way to do it. I have been inspired lately by overseas decor, especially Parisian and London apartments. They mix metallics with no abandon.
Most things that I really want I cant find in the states. I have to shop abroad, which is kind of annoying. I like to find things from mydeals (UK version) and sometimes ebay can really work too. Have you guys ever tried to buy anything overseas? When I went on my trip to Paris in November, I wanted to buy everything and ship it back but... it's quite difficult, no?
Ah, but the findings are oh so dreamy...

Frittered Away
Yikes! The time I've frittered away (def: waste little by little) since I last blogged on June 26. I have been busy though. Travelling extensively for work with little time for the studio gave me plenty of excuses. I've committed to myself to get my studio in prime order so that I can back to art making. So, down to the basement studio to clean out, clean up and move on.

Transform Your Smile This Holiday Season with The Help of Invisalign, Veneers and Implants
Dec 14, 2013, 09:00 ET
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Dec. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The holiday season is a great time to consider giving not just to loved ones but also giving back to yourself for all the hard work you do all year long. Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist, Dr. Kevin Sands, offers patients a wide selection of cosmetic treatments that can transform their smiles just in time for the holiday season. Put your best smile forward this holiday with the help of Invisalign, porcelain veneers and dental implants.
About Dr. Kevin Sands, Cosmetic Dentist Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills Invisalign provider, Dr. Kevin Sands, is a graduate of USC's School of Dentistry. He continued his specialty education at the prestigious Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies for Advanced Anterior Aesthetic Dentistry. Today, Dr. Sands, Beverly Hills dental implants expert, is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and the American Dental Association. His work has been showcased in diverse venues that include "Cosmopolitan" magazine, E!'s "Dr. 90210" and "People Magazine." Visit http://www.yourbeverlyhillscosmeticdentist.com to learn more.
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth using clear mouth trays. Dr. Sands, premier Beverly Hills dentist, can use Invisalign to correct many minor and moderate orthodontic issues, including misaligned jaws, crooked teeth, gapped teeth and crowded teeth. Invisalign can straighten teeth in about a year, which is often less time than traditional orthodontics.
Veneers are another option for patients with misaligned teeth or teeth that are gapped, chipped, worn or discolored. Veneers are ultra-thin layers of porcelain that are shaped like natural teeth. They are bonded to the fronts of teeth to create a smooth, even appearance and minimize or erase the appearance of flaws. Beverly Hills dentist, Dr. Sands, can apply veneers in just two to three dental visits.
Dr. Kevin Sands also offers dental implants. Implants are used to replace one or more missing teeth, and they can be used alone or as part of a smile makeover. Patients have access to personalized treatment plans that address their own unique concerns and provide them with extensive options to enhance or transform their smiles. Other available treatments include dental bonding, porcelain crowns and teeth whitening.

Went into Glacier National Park last week and it is totally beautiful this summer. Usually in July the snow is sparse, but this July there have been many beautiful snow scenes to enjoy. It is warming up fast so I am sure there is a lot of melting going on this week. Will look forward to next set of photos in the park!

Seventeen-year-old Florence Waverley is out of her depth. Literally.
Kidnapped and taken below the waves to the mer world of Niemela, she is the ultimate gift for merman Prince Kiren: a human familiar tied to his side. But nothing is what it seems amid the beauty and danger of a dark ocean.
Every Niemelan has a role to play, from the mermaids who weave towers out of kelp to the warriors who fight sea monsters.
But in trying to survive, Florence will end up in the middle of a war between the mer and the Darkness. A conflict that will push her between two brothers: Kiren, the charmer inexplicably drawn to both her and the monsters; and Rolan, the loner who has been pushing her away since the day they met.
But in order to take a stand - and find out where she belongs - Florence will have to risk it all: her life, her heart... and her very soul.
Florence is invisible. Well, not really, but she feels like it and tries to stay unnoticed. Even when she's been in her school for ages nobody knows or even recognizes her.
So when she's kidnapped to Niemela, the mer world, she's not really devastated. For the first time ever she can be seen. And for the first time someone gets interested in her. Actually, there's two someones; brothers Kiren and Rolan.
But can she really trust neither of them? Or will she just end up losing her soul?
The book starts with Florence heading to class trip and telling her backstory. And it was a really strong start! You are sucked to the story right away and like always, I loved the whole "loner-of-the-school"- thing going on.
Soon after Florence is sucked to the Niemela and I struckled little with my reading. Mostly because I like to get along with the plot quickly and I'm fine with little knowledge about the surroundings. That leaves more room for my own imagination. But now I felt like the description of surroundings went on and on, so I started to skim. Otherwise I might have gotten overwhelmed with the information and stop reading altogether.
After this the plot picked up pretty slowly, but not too slowly. We get to meet bunch of mermaids, including the king and his sons, Kiren and Rolan. They're quite the opposites: Kiren is fun and outgoing, Rolan pretty closed up and even hostile towards Florence. Kiren is the younger brother, but soon to be king, since Rolan doesn't want the crown.
And everyone's convinced Kiren is the right choice, even Florence. Until his connection with the monsters become public. And when Florence learns about Kiren's darker side, she turns to his brother, Rolan. Who also isn't what he seemed to be.
No surprise, I really enjoyed the romance part of the book, since I'm a sucker for the love triangles and the deception etc., but you know that already ;)
Overall, I really liked the story and can't wait to read more! Especially when there's so many questions left open: What happens to Kiren? How did Florence understand Niemela's language? I'm pretty sure there's some secret regarding her parents, but what is it?
See, so many questions left open, it drives me crazy! But I'll try to hold to my sanity and see if there's going to be a second book that hopefully answers to all these questions!

Kevin McShane on Marketing Improv Comedy
If you google marketing improv comedy, Kevin McShane is the first name that comes up, right above Tina Fey. You'll find an article on why no one can market improv.
You'll find an article on the sleazy side of the Dorito Video Competition.
You'll even find an article on him as fake Stan Lee. Here's Fake Stan Lee meeting the real Stan Lee. It's kind of awesome.
He's successfully doing what I want to be doing. He's on a regular team (Trophy Wife) at one of the biggest improv theaters in Los Angeles, he's working as an artist through his Photography and Design, and he even wrote and shot a pilot, even if it wasn't sold.
He does all sorts of promotion for Trophy Wife from live streaming the shows to teaser trailers to posters like this:
It's far beyond what you'll find any other improv group doing.
I wrote him a letter, more or less along those lines:
I came across your website by way of googling marketing improv, and after looking at your website, I have this gnawing suspicion that you're me, but 6 years in the future.
I realized that I'd actually seen you perform plenty, and am consistently impressed by the Trophy Wife Posters/Trailers at iO [blah blah blah a bit about me, etc] Anyhow, I'm really not sure even what I'd ask, but I'd love to pick your brain, if you'd be up for getting together for coffee or lunch or some such - if you're willing, I'd really appreciate it.
I guess mostly I'm curious how you've succeeded in juggling the same half dozen things I tend to juggle.
He was happy to get together. I just got back from lunch with him (or rather, on Monday, earlier this week).
I had two main questions for him. The first was, "Does all of the promotion you do help get butts in seats?"
While it gets a couple more people to the shows, he said, what it really accomplishes is recognition at the festivals. They've been flown across the country to do workshops and had their videos assigned as homework to groups in cities where there isn't any great improv.
"I started putting them up because my mom and dad wanted to see the show," he said.
These days, for better or worse, it's not unusual for the shows to get three to four times the audience online as they do at the theater. The promotion sets the group up as an authority, which isn't an exact yes to my original question.
You can see them every Wednesday at 9pm at iO West.
My second main question was "How do you balance the 6 different sides of your life? Doesn't the lack of focus on just one take away from the others?"
The basic answer was yes, but that's kind of the point. If one really takes off, he'll let the others compete for second.
His current view of improv is fairly zen, but it wasn't always that way. He sees it as a wonderful creative outlet, complimenting the money he makes through directing, photography, and designing. Four years ago he wanted it as an end in and of itself, but he doesn't think of improv from a business point of view as much now. It makes him sharper, he loves doing it, and others love watching it. For now, that's enough.
He gave me a couple of websites and books to look at. He said I should read Getting things Done, a book that changed his life and his ability to manage his time. He also agreed that marketing has a dark side that's an easy pit to drop in to and said I should check out: http://bajillionhits.biz/ - a guy making fun of all of it. It's a healthy antidote to all of the endless self promotional mouth talkers I listen to.
I really appreciated Kevin taking the time to answer my silly little questions and helping me figure out what I could be doing better. Even if his responses largely were "It seems like you're doing things all right" and "The big thing is to take on projects right now, now that you don't have that many responsibilities" (which is true. I don't. I'm able to spend time writing blogs like this rather than actually working.)
It was great talking to him, and seeing that everyone, even those at the very top of improv marketing, are still struggling. Still trying to figure things out, waiting for that big something to strike. With improv, it's not about the ten other jobs we all juggle or the grand plan down the line. What's important, is to just enjoy the moment.

The Best Crazy Video Site
City looks like little Hiroshima after warehouse explosion
Shocking mobile phone footage taken by passengers on highway in Tianjin on Thursday showed trails of debris left by huge explosions on late Wednesday night. Vehicles on highway were badly damaged after the blasts, and debris can be seen everywhere along the highway through the mobile phone. The death toll has climbed to 44 from two massive blasts that ripped through a warehouse in the port city of Tianjin as of Thursday noon, according to rescue headquarters. Twelve firefighters were among the dead. A total of 520 people have been hospitalized, including 66 critically injured. The warehouse was used by Tianjin Dongjiang Port Rui Hai International Logistics Co. Ltd., a company that handles hazardous materials.

Being born and raised in the tropics, it is hard for me to deal with the cold season. Fall is fine but winter is just sometimes unbearable for me. My first winter here, I complain basically every minute of every day that I would not have blamed the husband should he decided to send me back to the Philippines. I was that bad. Even if the house is set at 80 degrees when he was at work it still was so cold for me. He made me wear layered clothes to stop me from complaining and told me to move and do something so I will burn some calories and I will feel warm. It did not work mainly because I have already psyched my mind that it was cold. You know how stubborn the brain can be sometimes. Thankfully, the sister in law (who happened to be our neighbor) came to the rescue. She brought me an electric blanket to my delight. I used it all the time, even in bed. The husband did not like it because he said it was hot. I made sure it was very warm much to his annoyance. I did not realize then that the hotter the blanket was, the colder I will feel when I was not under it. Well, that realization came a bit late because of my being hard headed. Anyway, when I though about how cold the bed is when we first get in it to sleep at night, I wonder if I can persuade the husband to buy heated mattress pads for our bed. It will serve two purpose, one is to keep us warm and the other is the heat will be good for our aching limbs. Both of us complain about aching joints and muscles and I think the pads will be good for us. I will have to promise him to put the thermostat to a comfortable setting though. This way the nights will not be too cold.
