I received my first ticket in 1957 as KN7CEX and upgraded in 1958 to General. Over nearly 54 years, I have been an active operator, promoting Amateur Radio and ARRL at every opportunity. I have served as a OES, DEC, SEC and ASM in Western Washington, gaining experience and working my way up to Section Manager.
I am currently the ARRL Section Manager for Western Washington completing my second 2 year term. As SM, I have worked hard to strengthen Amateur Radio in Western Washington. We now have an ARES program that is head and shoulders above other programs in the country. Our OO program is the most active in the nation, logging several hundred hours of monitoring each month. We have always had a Technical Specialist program, but over the last 4 years we have developed it into a Technical Assistance program, for the benefit of all Hams - new or old. Recently the Technical Assistance program coordinator was asked to assist the National Weather Service, in troubleshooting and
repairing their Tiger Mountain repeater.
Over the past 4 years I have worked hard to develop good relationships between Western Washington Amateur Radio and our served agencies, such as:
Department of Natural Resources, FEMA Region 10 RF Division, Washington Emergency Management Division, Washington State Patrol and State Guard, and many others including our County Emergency Managers.
I am currently serving as the Washington State RACES Officer and represent Amateur Radio on the State Emergency Communications Committee (SECC) that oversees the EAS/AMBER program.
Last year, I formed an EmComm working group with membership from all three State MARS units, FEMA Region 10, State EMD and ARES, to foster a working arrangement between the organizations. This year we will be adding others to the group such as SATERN, Coast Guard Aux and American Red Cross. Cooperation not competition is our goal.
Another project, started this year, is a program to reach out to Girl/Boy Scouts and other youth organizations, encouraging interest in Amateur Radio. I hope to get some of our clubs involved in JOTA, reaching out to the local Scouting organizations in their area.
I have 2 children: Tammy, who Lives in Pensacola Florida and Zach who lives in Beaverton, Oregon. I am retired but fill my time with church work, time with my children and Ham Radio. I also serve as the current chairman of the Centralia Civil Service Commission.
I am hoping to be re-elected for another term as SM, in order that I might finish some of the project started this term. You vote for me will assure WWA of strength and continuity for Amateur Radio in WWA.

FIELD DAY WRAPUP – All who participated really enjoyed Field Day 2011. It was great to have so many trees to support the antennas. And there was plenty to eat! We need to seriously consider where to setup next year, and we should try for more 2 meter activity and at least one digital station.
STATE EMERGENCY OPERATION CENTER – Thanks to the Centralia ARES group for organizing this field trip. Let Bob Willey (email@example.com, or 360-736-9633) know if you plan to go. It'll be interesting to see a building build on springs for earthquake protection. Now, how did they hookup utilities?
SWAPMEET – (Is that 1 or 2 words??) Let's all get out for at least a little while, and support the club's one big money raising event. It is fun to look and buy. It is also fun to help out with ticket selling, setting up, cleanup, talkin station support, and just general gofering. See you there.
NEW HAMS – Congratulations to the newly licensed general class radio operators and the testers.
73, James Van Ornum, KG4YWD

In the course of the four years that I taught unique education , I worked with a lot of kindergarten and initial grade students as nicely as students who are at this academic level for their phonics expertise. The mission of PACER Center (Parent Advocacy Coalition for Educational Rights) is to expand opportunities and improve the quality of life of young children and young adults with disabilities and their families, based on the idea of parents helping parents. This very same suggestions applies to other administrators and higher ups in your district or college system, particularly if you are portion of a larger system. Hearing Like Me is a superb resource for parents who have deaf youngsters or hearing loss. As caretaker of young children, it is refreshing to know what the teachers are up too!
Whether or not you are a parent, teacher, grandparent or advocate of a kid with special demands, these five internet sites will help you gain a robust understanding of inclusive education. I was fortunate sufficient to have an exceptional mentor throughout my year of student teaching. Have your students put collectively an eBook of anatomy ideas they require to know at their grade level. Intervention Central : Intervention Central gives teachers access to Response to Intervention (RTI) Sources such as academic and behavior interventions. I think it is time for that to alter so I am on a bit of a campaign, to sign up teachers in inclusive and unique education settings.
Some of these teachers have taken the use of this application a single step further and are employing it as their text and resource to teach their students Auslan also. We did address this subject in a little detail in my graduate plan where most students have been currently teaching particular education. Project based understanding focuses on a set of driving open-ended questions, from which students select a concentrate for the project, with many attainable end goods. Teacher Vision : Teacher Vision gives numerous distinct teaching resources for teachers including printables, curriculum, and management.
Reality 101 by Council for Exceptional Youngsters : Reality 101 is the Council for Exceptional Children's blog that provides teachers tips, sources, and inspiration. I am going to use it as a conversation starter for skilled development coaching sessions for teachers and to encourage the little ones with dyslexia, that I perform with. Nonverbal language Disorder (NVLD) is one that pops up routinely as the actual diagnosis of students that I am asked to observe.
American Council on Rural Specific Education : The American Council on Rural Unique Education, founded in 1981, attempts to give solutions and details to those with disabilities. Having never ever taught general education on my own, I never have a lot of certain suggestions about this subject, specifically grade books. I believe there should be a one year internship/student teaching knowledge prior to any teacher enters the classroom for a full or component time job.

What To Do in a Plumbing Emergency
Your visiting aunt yells out from the guest bathroom that there is no more hot water.
You're serving pie to your guests when your father-in-law points to the ceiling and says, "Hey, is that a new water stain?"
A plumbing emergency can strike without warning. This is especially true in the winter months when temperatures and weather patterns fluctuate. Not only can frozen pipes, backed up sewers and gas leaks occur without warning, but not taking immediate action can prove to be detrimental to the rest of your home. In the event of a plumbing emergency, it's essential to take the proper steps in order to minimize damages.
Knowing what to do in a plumbing emergency requires you to know what an emergency is. The best rule of thumb is to call a plumber when you find water damage with an undefined source or when you come across a plumbing problem that you aren't 100% sure of how to handle.
When water is pouring out of your pipes or fist impulse might be to run away from the problem. From the get-go, you need to stay calm and act quickly. Often, by taking some of the actions outlined below, you can prevent serious damage to floors and furniture while waiting for a plumber.
While you should always call a plumber if you're uncertain about how to repair something or if you're dealing with an emergency, there are some small fixes you can handle until the plumber arrives.
If you keep a few supplies on hand, such as a pipe wrench, plunger, sewer snake, and plumbing tool kit, you can handle things like dripping faucets, clogged drains and stuck valves without too much of a problem. Just keep your plumber's number handy should you find yourself in trouble.
Here are some plumbing emergency tips to help you get through a situation:
Rule #1: Learn to Shut Off the Water
When you first discover a leak or plumbing problem, shut off the water to prevent further damage. A small leak can mean thousands of dollars in structural damage if left untreated. Importantly, don't be in the dark when it comes to knowing the location of the main water valve and every emergency shut-off valve in your house. It's easy, but if you prefer to have a pro show you how, many plumbers will check emergency shut-off valves at no charge.
If only one fixture is causing the problem, shut it off first by turning the valve clockwise. Do the same for the main valve in the event of a leaking pipe or other water emergency.
Along with shutting off the water, you might also open drains and spigots attached to your pipes. After the water supply has been turned off, there may still be water in the pipes that can flood through cracks or worsen a clog. The best way to open the pipes is to turn on exterior water spigots, if possible.
Tip: Take lots of pictures and detailed notes about any flooding for insurance.
Plumbing fact: The word "plumber" comes from the Latin word "plumbum," which means "lead."
Don't Put a Hot Water Leak on the Back Burner
Water heaters are notoriously difficult to fix. Sometimes they're downright dangerous. If you are going to brave the hazards of the basement on your own, be sure to turn off the unit before touching anything else. That said, even an apparently simple task like testing the temperature can prove challenging, if not downright hazardous. Failing to properly remove and replace the valve, for example, can lead to a sudden outpouring of searing hot water.
If you want to avoid burns, property damage and overall devastation, stay away from the water heater and leave the job to the professionals at J&A South Park.
Tip: Set your hot water heater to no hotter than 125°F. Why? Because it takes water at a temperature of 140°F just seconds to burn your skin. Water at 160°F will scald you in just half a second.
Plumbing Fact: Copper piping, the world's Number One material used for plumbing, is the same material Egyptians used to lay their pipes some 3000 years ago.
Don't Be Afraid to Take a Plunge
Always turn off the water first. Then use a plunger to try to remove the obstruction. Even in a clogged sink, you can plunge the drain and often fix the problem. Plungers work best when you plunge rhythmically 10-20 times to build up pressure in the pipe. If the sink is draining slowly, you can use a liquid drainer cleaner. Beyond this point, you will probably want to call a plumber.
Plumbing Fact: Since 1963, there has been enough copper piping installed in American homes to wrap around the Earth 200 times – about 5.3 million miles worth.
Don't Just Jiggle
If you're tired of jiggling the handle to make a toilet behave after flushing, it might be time to replace its inner workings. Toilets typically run when the flapper valve that lets water pass from tank to bowel no longer fits properly, the float is imbalanced or the fill tube comes loose. Toilet repair kits for most models require little effort to install.
Om occasion, toilets run for more complex reasons. If you've replaced all the parts indicated above, you may still have sediment's that affecting proper flushing and filling.
Higher water bills could also indicate a silent leak. To detect a small leak, add a few drops of food coloring to the upper tank and wait 15 to 20 minutes. Look in the bowl for any hit of color. If you see tinted water, your flapper valve isn't working properly.
Plumbing Fact: An invisible leak in the toilet will waste up to 15 gallons of water a day or 5,475 gallons a year.
Water's Last Stand
As tempting as it might be to just leave any standing water until a professional arrives, Don't! it only takes mold 24 to 48 hours to colonize and begin to cause a problem in your home. You also don't want added damage to your flooring, drywall or even pictures that can be affected by an increase of moisture. Use a wet/dry shop vacuum, a mop, a towel, whatever you have at hand (but NOT a regular vacuum) to clean up any standing water. Then, turn on any fans, open the doors and air the room out.
Plumbing Fact: In a typical household, toilet flushing constitutes up to 38% of all water-use in the home.
Tackling Small Leaks
If you discover a small leak that's easily identified, stop it as best as possible. Keeping some plumber's tape in your toolbox will make this chore a lot easier. This is a special kind of tape that seals leaky pipes until they can be repaired or replaced. You can also stuff rags and towels around pipes or put buckets under dripping leaks as so as they are potted – this is a great way to ensure your problem is addressed safely.
Leaking faucets are annoying, but they typically aren't an emergency right away. One thing that can quickly turn a drip into a full-blown leak, however, is to use a wrench on its shut-off valve. When leaks are small, shut off the water with your hands only. Wrenches can break valves and even stick them in an open position.
You should turn off the water to your home if you can't turn off the faucet's valve by hand. When the water is off, assess the leak. If you're familiar with the faucet and its inner-workings, it's safe to attempt a repair. If you're not sure, call a plumber to avoid a real emergency.
Plumbing Fact: Think a leaky faucet is no big deal? Think again. A faucet that drips just once per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water per year.
Avoid Frozen Pipes
One of the more stressful winter plumbing experiences, and one of the most common, is frozen pipes. When water freezes, it expands, which can cause your pipes to crack or even burst. When they unfreeze, and the water flows again, you'll have a serious leak in need of immediate attention.
You can prevent this by taking a few small precautions:
- Run a miniscule amount of water through various faucets on nights when it will get below freezing. The running water should prevent ice from forming.
- Insulate pipes on the exterior of your home or in your garage with towels, blankets or store-bought pipe insulators.
- Open cupboard doors to allow your home's heat into these places to help warm the pipes.
Plumbing Fact: Albert Einstein was named an honorary member of the Plumbers and Steamfitters Union after saying publicly that he would become a plumber if he had to do it all over again.
Thaw Pipes if They Freeze
So, what if your pipes do freeze?
You'll know that your pipes have frozen if the flow of water to your sink has stopped. But don't immediately panic. Sometimes, the frozen pipes don't crack or burst. Try safely thawing your pipes and then inspect them for damage.
First, turn off the main water valve. If there's damage and the water is still on, you'll have water gushing into your home when the ice melts. Next, wrap the pipes with thermostatically controlled heat tape to quickly thaw a troubled spot. You can also use a hair dryer, space heater or other heating device.
Carefully inspect the pipes for damage. If you don't see anything, turn the water back on and check for leaks. If there are no indications of damage, resume normal activities.
If you spot damage, call J&A South Park to handle the problem before turning the water back on.
Plumbing Fact: In 1939, Al Moen invented the single-handle faucet that can control hot and cold water in just one turn.
Have Issues Repaired Right Away
This is more of a preventive maintenance tip.
Many homeowners tend to ignore minor plumbing problems because they're not a big threat at the start. A leaky faucet is annoying, but is it really causing a lot of damage? It more than likely is.
The water released from a faucet can wear away fixtures and pipes. It can also promote mildew and mold growth, which can be a dangerous health issue. Just assume that minor problems could turn into major issues and have them repaired before they get worse.
Plumbing Fact: The Tremont Hotel in Boston became the nation's first hotel to incorporate indoor plumbing in 1829.
Preventive Maintenance
Speaking of preventive maintenance, one way to prevent costly repairs to your home is follow a regular maintenance schedule.
Because many issues with your pipes sneak up on you, a thorough inspection is the key to catching small problems before they grow. Hidden leaks in sink drains or below water heaters are more than just a nuisance; over time, they can cause structural damage. Water that seeps into sheetrock or plaster contributes to mold. Porous tile or wood flooring can discolor or warp when wet.
Plumbing Fact: The world's most famous plumbers are probably video game superstars Mario and Luigi of the popular Super Mario Brothers series.

Toxic Behavior #4: You must first be good to get my love It can be so difficult to show your child love when you are angry and frustrated, right? But it is important, as mentioned earlier, to separate the behavior from the actual child. They still need to be shown love.
It will be tempting to not want to take them on a date you had planned or to that movie that you both have been looking forward to. It seems like it is rewarding the negative behaviors. It may be hard to give them a hug when you aren't feeling very affectionate. But if the child has already received a punishment, this is like punishing them again for when they have already "served their time". Additionally, it is so important to keep something positive in your relationship when it's struggling thru this difficult time. If you take away everything, including the positive parts of your relationship, they will feel even more hopeless and may eventually give up all together.
Being a parent is about loving unconditionally. Even when they are being difficult it is important to still hug them, tell them you love them, or spend time with them.
Make an agreement with yourself that you will stick with the punishment/consequence but still love your child, and show them that love, regardless of your feelings about their behavior.
Thank you for reading! Tomorrow Joleen will finish this series with toxic behavior #5

Eggs, tents and Take That, too
September 16, 2011
dnx turned 11 this year. To celebrate, our summer party was yet another classic blend of idiocy and sophistication. Held on home soil (one of the advantages of working where we do), we divided into six teams for "dnx at the races", a meeting that could seriously rival Royal Ascot. Races on the top field included The Egg and Spoon, The Sack and The Wheel-barrow and each team was given £100 to place some advance bets, Team C (I Predict a Wyatt) coming out top.
One unscheduled and spontaneous event was the inaugural running of the "Pelt Alex Brayshaw with Eggs" Stakes which raised over £35 for Byte Night.
Regrouping for the awards ceremony in a marquee erected outside the barn, we then turned our attention to our surprise guests – Take That 2 – who treated us (and Jessica Lloyd-Hitt in particular) to some of Messrs Barlow, Williams, Owen, Orange and Donald's finest works. If we didn't know the words to "Never Forget" before, we do now.
Dancing to the disco continued until midnight, punctuated by occasional visits to the bouncy castle (sometimes en masse, sometimes discreetly in pairs), to the ice cream van and into the instant photo booth. Never have feather boas been used to such hideous effect.
In the small hours, the die-hards retreated to their tents (or cars) to pass a cold and, for some, uncomfortable night. Full marks to everyone who was on hand to clear up in the morning, though.
Special thanks go to the Party Committee for organising. Excellent stuff.

Creating a native bee hotel/
Everyone's heard about putting up nest boxes for birds and mammals, right? Last summer we did something similar in our backyard, but with a view to providing homes for native bees and other critters!
It's been quite some time since I first read about 'bee hotels', and added it to our 'to do someday' list. In recent years my interest has been furthered through the designs and pictures provided by groups like the Australian Native Bee Research Centre's excellent publication Native Bees of the Sydney Region, their website and the AN Bees e-group.
While bee-watching at our place, I realised that we already had a host of artificial nest sites for native bees in the form of the re-used timbers that make up structures all through our backyard. Their cracks and crevices, plus empty nail and screw holes, are all of interest to a whole host of critters. Bees, wasps, spiders, earwigs, and many more. The more I looked, the more I saw. Yes it's obvious now, but I just hadn't taken the time to pay attention previously.
To supplement these many other holes, we made a native bee hotel.
It's a wooden planter box, mounted sideways on a pole, about 1.6 metres off the ground.
- Inside are hardwood offcuts drilled with holes of varying diameters between 4mm and 9mm.
- The holes aren't quite the recommended depth (150mm or more), however nor are the holes elsewhere in the backyard that appear to be functioning as homes. Ours are the length of an average drill bit!
- In the gaps are lengths of bamboo.
- I tried lining some of the holes with baking paper which allows you to remove the contents, if desired. But I only managed to do so in some of the bigger holes and left the rest without.
- And to give some protection from the elements, we gave it a roof using a scrap of laserlite.
Within a couple of hours of putting it up there was interest from potential residents. Quite a few native bees and some wasps checked it out, and some moved in. When my identification skills are better I hope to let you know more precisely which species they are!
If you come across a native bee that's looking for a wood nesting hole, feel free to direct them to our backyard. Or add to the critter habitat at your place and you, too, can enjoy watching to see who moves in.
Keen to know more? You'll find additional posts about bee hotels and insect homes on our blog here, here and here. That third one includes a link to a video that ran on national tv! Go on, take a squiz.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: (July 7, 2017)
GARY, Ind. — The Gary SouthShore RailCats were defeated by the Winnipeg Goldeyes for the second consecutive night on Friday, falling by a 4-3 final in 10 innings on 7 Degrees of Kevin "Bacon" Night at U.S. Steel Yard. The extra-innings loss was Gary's third of the year and first since June 14th.
Tied 3-3 going into the tenth, the reigning champion Winnipeg Goldeyes (25-22) had the first three batters reach to load the bases. After Drasen Johnson got Hunter Dolshun to ground into a 6-2 fielder's choice, Andrew Sohn brought in the go-ahead run on a fielder's choice, just beating the throw at first on a potential inning-ending double play.
David Bergin opening the scoring with a leadoff home run to left-center in the top of the second. The home run was Bergin's team-best 12th of the year and his league-high 28th extra-base hit of the season.
Gary (26-22) ended their season-high 19.2 consecutive scoreless inning drought with an unearned run in the bottom of the fourth. Frank Martinez started the inning with a walk, extending his personal-best on-base streak to 16 games. Martinez then advanced to second on a wild pitch before the shortstop Sohn airmailed first baseman Shawn Pleffner on what looked to be the final out of the inning, allowing Martinez to score from second.
Gary took their first lead of the series with a run in the fifth. Kris Goodman led off the frame with a leadoff double to right-center before Chase Harris moved him to third with an infield single. Two batters later, Colin Willis brought in Goodman with an RBI single, making it a 2-1 game in favor of the RailCats.
Winnipeg regained the lead with a pair of runs in the sixth. Pleffner started the inning with a home run to right-center. With the bases-loaded and nobody out, Dolshun delivered an RBI single to center, putting the Goldeyes in front, 3-2.
The RailCats countered with a two-out run in the seventh, tying the game at 3-3. Andy De Jesus doubled to begin the inning before Reggie Wilson came through with a two-out, RBI double down the left field line, plating De Jesus from second.
Johnson (2-3) was charged with the loss. In two innings of relief, Johnson allowed three hits and a pair of walks.
Evan Rutckyj (1-0) recorded his first American Association with a scoreless ninth inning while All-Star Ryan Chaffee (13) increased his league-leading save total with a scoreless bottom of the 10th. Rutckyj allowed a hit and struck out wo while Chaffee allowed a walk and a hit in his second consecutive appearance.

The Social Network! Its out!
So very much has been written about this deeply silly movie that I'm not gonna say that much more about my thoughts besides "I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to." I will, however, write certain thoughts about certain relevant participants in this project. You're welcome.
Jesse Eisenberg <3 – I think I was predisposed to like Mark Zuckerberg after that nice New Yorker piece they wrote on him, which meant that I was predisposed to not like a movie that was about how much of a dick he was, but I also think that Jesse, dear Jesse, had something to do with it. He is having a very good time lately! Meteoric rise, you could say! And there's something about him…I'm not gonna say star power, but, I dont know, I just want to like him. Lets put it this way – Michael Cera would never have been Mark Zuckerberg.
Aaron Sorkin – Ok, we get it. You hate the internet, people who use the internet, people who think they are better than you, women (except when you are pining after them!), and anything that smacks of an time period after the ones that you understand. Oh, and WASPs – the best lines in the movie, I think, were the ones making fun of the Winklevosses. I liked those.
Andrew Garfield – No one that good looking would only be picked for a club out of "diversity," or stay with a girl who's clearly crazy, or only want to belong, etc. It will surprise no one who has seen the movie that Eduardo was a consultant on the book that the script was based on.
David Fincher – I imagine it was hard for such a visual director to have to ping pong around Aaron Sorkin's words for two hours, but did we need to watch 20 minutes of dramatically-shot rowing and droplets and sweat and boats and pursed brows and colors to make up for it?
Trent Reznor – You did great. The music was awesome! Also, you were Nine Inch Nails! This is a confusing but great combination of facts.
Larry Summers – I'm so glad you were in this movie, and that you were very mean.
Justin Timberlake – Oh, Justin. Please please PLEASE go back to making music. Please?

DVD Burning
Posted 07 April 2012 - 04:15 PM
Posted 09 April 2012 - 11:47 AM
Or use WinAVI Video Covertor to take ot from AVI to DVD format then Use DVDFab to burn it.
These are the ones I use but there are lots of good programs out there for converting and burning.
Hope this helps
Posted 14 April 2012 - 12:54 PM
Never used WinAVI myself,although I have heard it's a good one too.
Final thought if you are running Windows,there's always the option of Windows DVD Maker,although I find it to be quite slow,BUT there are some superb looking templates with it,making your movies look almost professional.
Hope that's of some use to some of you.

AVI to DVD FREE. As is says it is free to download and use.
Posted 13 July 2013 - 08:30 PM
I use Nero 11, it has Nero Movie, you can import your AVI file add menus 2D 0r 3D
and it does all the work, the important thing about burning AVI files is make sure you convert them
using the same format NTFS or PAL, if your downloading from a torrent site your download will be mixed
Nero will ask you witch format you want to use, then you select the burner and speed, allways the best
is to burn at 8X or slower this way your DVD wont jump and lag during playback
Posted 17 December 2013 - 06:58 PM
spot on covertxtodvd will definely do it
good luck danny

Comparisons show high correlations of the two systems at tidal frequencies and show that, as expected, the systems track each other well on a monthly basis. Outlier differences found in monthly mean sea level and monthly mean diurnal range comparisons have been found to be partly due to; the lack of accuracy in the ADR/Bubbler times; periods of breakfills in the ADR using inferred data or backup bubbler data; and high degrees of variability in the tide staff/ETG readings. Data comparisons of over one-year in length are now being analyzed with no systematic trends or seasonal variations being found that are not explained by measurement uncertainties in the ADR/Bubbler systems. The magnitude of the differences found in the comparisons are approximately of the same order magnitude as the estimated uncertainties in the measurement systems, thus drawing conclusions on trends and seasonal variations from the differences found becomes difficult.
Both the protective well of the new system and the stilling well of the former system introduce biases in the data due to draw down effects of currents and waves. However, the new configuration (i.e., the new system's data sampling procedures in conjunction with the open protective well with parallel plates) is a significant improvement over the old. It reduces the noise present in the ADR discrete sampling method and reduces the bias due to high currents. Through the elimination of the potential for uncertainty and error using the manual staff/ETG readings and the monthly ADR/Bubbler adjustment of data using these readings, the new system eliminates the time varying biases present in the former system. The result is improved accuracy of measurement.

Ever wonder if Rihanna can throw down in the kitchen? Well, according to her, she does and has a whole spice rack of quality seasonings to prove it. The superstar shared a snippet on her Instagram Stories of her collection of PreMadonna Seasoning.
If the name "'PreMadonna" rings any bells, it's because she's the waist-training queen responsible for the snatched waists of our fave celebs and credited with sparking the whole IG trend in the first place. Apparently she can snatch waists and help you make a BOMB plate of food at the same damn time.
TBD on what RiRi is whipping up, but Cardi B is a supporter of PreMadonna's chef skills and actually said she wants her cookbook (available for pre-order, $35) so she can make Offset some eggs. Yes, PreMadonna has a cookbook to go along with her range of poultry, seafood, hot chicken, and Creole spices. And yes, Cardi said she needs a cookbook to make eggs…
But in all seriousness, PreMadonna's The Recipe Bible promises to teach you way more than just eggs—think red velvet waffles with fried lobster! Her recipes claim to capture "the soul and essence of Southern comfort food and cultured African cuisines."
Don't believe us? Check out her YouTube to see her skills in the kitchen for yourself.
She changed the waist game, so we can't wait to see her upgrade our plates in 2019, especially if they'll look like this!

Whether you live in an old or new home, there are ways indoor air quality can be improved. According to the EPA, indoor air quality "refers to the air quality within and around buildings and structures, especially as it relates to the health and comfort of building occupants." OSHA says poor indoor air quality can result in headaches, fatigue, trouble concentrating, and irritation of the eyes, nose, throat and lungs.
The EPA lists three ways to improve indoor air quality. They are:
1. Source Control
Source control involves limiting the source of indoor air pollutants. This could be a number of causes. The Consumer Product Safety Commission lists examples of these as "oil, gas, kerosene, coal, wood, and tobacco products; building materials and furnishings as diverse as deteriorated, asbestos-containing insulation."
2. Ventilation Improvements
This method can be used to limit outdoor air from breaching the home if it is contaminated or allowing outside air to enter the home if it is clean. Another way to improve ventilation is by clearing out the HVAC system in the home. For a guide on how to do this, click here.
3. Air Cleaners
There are many devices on the market that can be used to improve indoor air quality. These devices should eliminate pollutants in the air.

Michael Salter marries a love of music and drawing
A single glance at one of Michael Salter's drawings is all that it takes to know that he is a consummate draftsman. A similar thing can be said for any of his paintings, illustrations, comics, designs, and for his drumming. As he says, "Music and art kind of sneak together sometimes."
Salter has been making art and music for most of his life. "I was wondering what I would be when I grew up, and I knew I would probably be an artist because I could draw recognizable images at age four," he says, telling us of when he was growing up in Bradley County.
"Musically, I was influenced by the Beatles and Buddy Rich. The Beatles got me into music, in 1964 on my seventh birthday. My brother and I were sitting in the living room watching TV, and there they were. It was awesome!
"We were laughing at their hair, we thought they looked goofy and funny, but then they started playing. '64 was their first trip to the US, on The Ed Sullivan Show. It was the first time any of us had heard them.
"Most bands at the time had somebody writing their songs for them. The Beatles demonstrated that a band can succeed writing their own songs, being self-produced."
The Beatles inspired Salter to start playing the drums. When he was in college at UTC, he got into jazz, and has since become one of the most sought-after percussionists in town. He also went on to become a top notch graphic designer, earning national attention for his logo designs.
He majored in Fine Art because, at that time, the university didn't offer Graphic Design as a major. He learned some design skills from school, but was mostly self-taught. He asked a lot of questions at local print shops. This is how he learned to cut film and paint knock-outs on acetate to make something appear on a background, along with other analog design skills.
He started to think about how he was going to put food on the table for his family, "How do I make a living at this?" He got his first break while he was still in college—he was introduced to a Canadian company that made cartoon maps of cities and college campuses that was looking for artists.
The first map he did for them was of Southern Adventist College in Ooltewah. The maps included well known faculty members and campus landmarks. Next he did UTC, then Roanoke VA—the map was so big that he had to draw it in sections and put it on a huge piece of illustration board.
Next he got a job as an Art Director at Track 29 Media Company (not to be confused with the former music venue). During this time, he did a lot of T-shirt work. Everything was done with layers of film that were then transferred to silk screens, incorporating ziptone dot screens.
"If I wanted a green area on a shirt, I would do a 60 percent yellow screen, and a 40 percent blue to make it green," he explains. "For gradients, I used fade screens—you could cut them, had to make sure the ratio was right, that the screens were lined up. You had to be able to imagine what it would look like."
Working at Track 29 Media was Salter's introduction to a classic nine-to-five work environment. He got into doing brochures, advertising, design, catalogs, annual reports, and illustration work when he could get it. He built his portfolio by working at a design shop downtown after his regular work hours.
He did some freelance work for the Arnold Palmer Golf Co., called Pro Group at the time, designing catalogs, directing photography of their equipment. This work led him to a job at Chattem Inc, where he worked for 30 years doing logos, catalogs, annual reports, and product photography. He made extensive use of application illustrations, images of practical applications of products, ideas, and new product concepts.
Everything was different before the industry transitioned to digital—today you have to build photo mock-ups in Photoshop, with stock photos, etc. Marker layouts, drawings of advertisements and products, were the precursor to this.
Since retiring from Chattem, Salter has done comic books, book cover illustrations, and is currently considering commissioned portraits. He is still very active as a musician, playing with multiple bands including the Monday Night Big Band at The Palms, Ryan Oyer Band, Reverse Ferrett, and Uptown Big Band.

Its been another wonderful year in 2011 and I promised to launched another valentines day couple voting contest for 2012 if my fans had reached a number above 30,000. And surprisingly it did, and we did another round of contest this year in 2012. Thanks for all 36 couples that had participated for this years voting contest. Congratz to Jared and Zengie (couple number 2) for winning this prize. As promised, the couple that gets the highest vote will win a free couple portrait worth Rm1,800. The contest goes on for 10 days and we had just announced the winner couple of hours ago.
People may wonder why I would run a contest like this, its really simple, as a photographer that shoot mainly weddings I have witness numerous love stories, for couples that have not decided or have already went through the process of marriage, I hope I am able to extend their love, or to those that have not participated in this contest, I hope they are able to feel the true stories from each and every couple that have shared their stories. By doing this I hope I am able to use this hopeful day on valentines to promote positive thinking on relationships. There are people that enjoyed most in relationships but there are people that are also suffering from relationship, or lost in some way, I hope this campaign can build their confidence to look forward in their relationship, or to those that do not have a partner, might gather those love stories and have a positive mind in their future relationships. Its just mainly something I would feel like doing every year to help or to heal the souls of humanity.
In this contest I asked couple to send in their stories, write a short story about them, and also state why they love my pictures. And I am surprised and learned a lot how each individual perceive my pictures, below are the statement they have sent in.
"I Love Dennis Yap Photography because his photo full of feeling, every photos have different feel for me. For the wedding photo, I can feel the bless and happiness between the bridegroom and the bride. I like Dennis Yap Photography's photos! ♥"

Thanks for all your comments; it really had melt my heart. For the reason I am doing photography is simply to tell the world that pictures can be more than just beauty. It can speak, made someone realize something, and can also heal or extend their love.
There are also an obstacle that I have faced for this year's voting contest, I have also learned that facebook voting contest has emerged to a different scenario, which is the question of fairness. You know what I want in this contest, is simply to be fair with everyone and I felt that I have great responsibility to make it as fair as possible because I am dealing with 36 lovely couples here, simply do not want to disappoint anyone.
To define the true winner, the winner has to be able to generate enough true vote from their friends or from friend's friend, this should be the true meaning of the contest, which is to get the highest support from their friends. However, dealing with heteroscedasticity in facebook is never easy. If you do not know the meaning of heteroscedasticity, it is simply the most extraordinary numbers in a statistic group. Everyday I have been monitoring the fans that have 'liked' the pictures. The software I have been using to monitor like statistic is called "Flirt". Flirt is a software created for only mac machines to monitor facebook events and it serve viral focus to gather specific likes for marketing purpose in both macro and micro monitoring. Out from Flirt I noticed these specific events as shown in my pictures below.
I was a little nervous when it comes to this because these are irregulars and I also found numerous likes were generated from duplicate facebook page which has only 1 member in the page. When I reasearch more indept on knowing where does all these duplicates were coming from, I have learned that there has been many competitions that was organized by large organizations which is considered unfair. Such as this page over here that I found to be unfairly organized, in this page the winner had gathered 36,000 likes and with total of 90,000 likes but the page has gathered only 11,000 fans, strange right? Which means that there are a great number of ghost voters. For my case I have had 17,000 likes in total, with 4,800 increased on members.
I have been pretty unpleased with facebook and it had somewhat discouraged me on whether to launch another couple portrait contest next year. But since I have launched this contest, I am set to develop a way that will be fair for everyone. So below is my approach.
In order to create numbers from viral reach behavior, you gotta know the 'like' performance of this competition. For example, the biggest fact from getting likes is how much effort the individual or the group of individual contributes to get likes, and versus the likes they have gathered. It is a known fact that if the main contestant that have shared the like invites to their own group of friends will more likely to get more likes, and their friends that have shared their pictures will more likely to get less likes. This is a known fact from Facebook experience. Therefore, the more days the competition had run, it is more likely that their effort versus like is less. And therefore the contestants have to use more effort to gather likes. In this scenario I called it 'like integrity'. Like integrity is a way to measure what you will expect from their effort and their actual 'likes' must be lower than the expected due to like deterioration from viral reach. In a competition like this, it is abnormal to see contestant that have spared less effort and able to generate great amount of likes, this is due to the viral reach performance. Of course, it also depend on how many friends each friends has in their account and therefore I have monitored and calculated the 'like expectation' from this competition; which also means the average number of likes gathered from each invite off from this contest. The contest is all about who you ask for likes, if individual had asked for likes from an unknown 'power like' group, then the viral reach will then failed and many ghost likes will be contributing and looses its like integrity, means that irregular activities occurred. Like integrity is a way to measure how likely people will be interested to like your page and support your contest.
The individual from 'power like' group that have liked the contestant will expect the contestant to like back, so I spent time to delete those invites in order to discourage them from doing so.
If you able to know what is the inclusion method, you will know how to gather 'like integrity'. For this I used a weibull method from statistic to measure how many ghost likes as a start. And this is my formula, the number of 1 to 10 are critical numbers used from risk analysis measured from mean of number of likes per invite. To gather a weibull number one has to capture the like contributed on each day and also percentage of ghost likes from Flirt because it will be tough to monitor them after next day.
Like Integrity = [Weibull = (1)/(1+irregulars) from life data analysis, thanks to Flirt and Reliasoft.]x[Invite performance = 0.1 to 1]x[Number of actual like]

text: The Benefits of Complete Inner Peace: Who was Peace Pilgrim and Why You Should Know Her? Recently I began rereading the book "Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words." I have found myself getting away from some of the foundational principles that got me out of the hell that I lived in for decades. I thought that this is a good time to revisit her and get back to one. If you are wondering what I mean when I say "get back to one" you can read a blog I wrote called "Getting Back To One" to get a better understanding. Peace Pilgrim was a woman who back in 1953 at the age of forty-five rid herself of all her worldly possessions except for the clothes on her back and her shoes and began walking until there was world peace. Now I cannot say for sure, but the writer of the "Forrest Gump" novel and/or film must have been influenced by Peace Pilgrims story. The part in the plot when Forrest Gump starts running all across the country just because he felt like running while inspiring others is too close to her story to be a coincidence. Peace Pilgrim's story goes much deeper than just wanting to walk for peace. After walking for 25,000 miles, she stopped counting the miles and just walked. Although she began to focus more on speaking about her experiences and what she had learned during her journeys, much of the book is taken from these talks. I believe she was what some would call an "Enlightened Being." Why do I say this? I will give you an example. She once said in one of her talks "When I began to live to give, instead of to get what I could," she began to have true meaning in her life and lived her life with unbelievable physical and mental health. She said that since that shift occurred, she never suffered an ache or pain, a cold, or a headache. She believed that most illnesses were psychologically induced. If you think that seems unlikely that someone could not experience any pain and illness then consider that up until she was 73 she was still walking and not taking food or shelter for herself unless offered. She stopped at 73 because she was tragically and you could say ironically killed in a head-on collision while she was receiving a ride to one of her speaking engagements. And when you read some of the other events that occurred in her life and how she thought and acted I don't know of another conclusion you could come to accept that she was an enlightened or self-realized person.Numerous lessons and stories are shared in the book, but there are two that left the greatest impressions upon me. These were experiences that most people would label as bad, but I don't think she called them that. In fact, when she describes the stories, it was from a place of love. It was beyond just acceptance and forgiveness. It was from a place of complete non-judgment. She saw herself as being a conduit for a higher power which she called "God." She was a person who experienced complete inner peace, and she maintained that peace no matter what events were happening around her. After several years of mental and spiritual preparation, she began her pilgrimage. She would walk until she found shelter often times on the side of a road or under a bridge, or in a makeshift shelter. She would go without food until it was offered to her. She was not a beggar. She never asked for either of these essential needs. She would accept it only if it were offered. Now there were a couple of times during those 28 years when she faced real danger. On one occasion, she was close to being assaulted and possibly killed by a man who offered her a few hours of sleep in his car. On the other occasion, she was severely beaten by a troubled teenage boy but what transpired during and after the incident was a testament to her selflessness and strength she received from obtaining complete inner peace.The first incident happened during the early part of her pilgrimage when she was walking in the California desert in the middle of the night. A car hadn't passed her for hours, and there wasn't a city or town within miles. As she continued walking, she came upon a car parked on the side of the road. There was a man in the car who some would consider a rather rough looking character. When he saw her, he called out to her "Come on, get in and get warm." she said, "I don't ride." He said, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm just parked here." She decided to get into the car. They began a long conversation, and after some time he said: "Say, wouldn't you like to get a few winks of sleep?" And she said, "Oh, yes, I certainly would!" And she went to sleep. When she awoke, she could see the man was very puzzled about something. After they had talked for some time, he admitted that when he had asked her to get into the car, he had meant to cause her harm, but for some reason, he couldn't. He told her "When you curled up so trustingly and went to sleep, I just couldn't touch you!" Some may wonder how she could have escaped this situation unscathed. I'll use her words to explain why she was not harmed. "No one walks so safely as one who walks humbly and harmlessly with great love and great faith. For such a person gets through to the good in others (and there is good in everyone), and therefore cannot be harmed. This works between individuals, it works between groups, and it would work between nations if nations had the courage to try it."For those who see this as impossible or they see the world and people as evil, I will share another story of true love and compassion. Where the small "self" is not a part of the story. The larger 'SELF' is seen as reality. During one of Peace's later journeys, she met a teenager in a small town who was deeply troubled and violent. He was so violent that he once beat his mother so badly that she spent several weeks in the hospital. Peace Pilgrim had agreed to go on a hike with this troubled young man who everyone in town feared. As they were reaching the peak of the climb, a huge stormed approached. The boy for some reason became terrified, and his deep seeded rage found a means of escape. He went after Peace Pilgrim and began beating her. As he repeatedly hit her in the face, she did not react. She smiled. In fact, she felt nothing but love and compassion for the troubled young man. After a few more blows he stopped. Puzzled he said "You didn't hit back! Mother always hits back." She just smiled. After this event, something within him changed, and the change lasted. For this troubled youth was never violent again. We never hear these stories in the news so it is only natural that we wonder how anyone could react that way to physical violence? The animal instincts within most of us would likely take over. But not for her. As she reflected, "What are a few bruises on my body in comparison with the transformation of a human life?"I am not what some would call religious. I am not sure I would call myself spiritual, but I am curious. And I recognize that I am one person among billions. The billions who came before me, the billions currently living, and the billions to come after I am gone. This human life is made up of mystery. I cannot pretend to know everything, only a fool or a teenager would do so. So what I believe might be wrong. Peace Pilgrim's story gives me hope and a model to emulate as best I can. I hope you take some time to read her book and be as inspired as I am.

Although this film has been out for a few months in the UK, it's finally being released in Canada. I'm a fan of seeing the occasional character-driven dramas and this is the definition of a stage play turned film so here we go.
Synopsis: In Sally Potter's new dark comedy THE PARTY, Janet is hosting an intimate gathering of friends in her London home to celebrate her political ascension, while her husband, Bill, seems preoccupied. Janet's acerbic best friend, April arrives and others follow, some with their own dramatic news to share, but an announcement by Bill provokes a series of revelations that gradually unravel the sophisticated soiree, and a night that began with champagne may end with gunplay. (Elevation Pictures)
Starring: Kristin Scott Thomas, Timothy Spall and Patricia Clarkson
Writer: Sally Potter
Director: Sally Potter
Rating: 14A (Canada)/R (United States)
Running Time: 71 mins
For showtimes and more, check out The Party on movietimes.com.
Within the first few minutes of this film, Janet (Thomas) opens a door and shakily points a gun at the camera which cuts to black over a slow solemn score as the title credits roll. You can probably already tell what type of movie this will be. The story follows Janet, the newly appointed shadow minister of health, as she invites her group of closest friends over to celebrate the news. After her husband Bill (Spall) reveals some life-altering news, other secrets between the party-goers slowly start to trickle out causing the dinner party to become less than civil.
The story in turn isn't a slow-dragging, dull, talking head drama, but instead a look into the themes of politics, love and religion. Each character has their own issues that are pushed to the surface at this party as it becomes a barbaric battle of civilized savages. The tension rises, not only between characters, but with the party itself, in an unexpected and shocking way that helps create a surprisingly real situation. That is without even mentioning the stunning amount of humour sewn into this story; it is the definition of dark comedy.
Writer-Director Sally Potter does an outstanding job setting the mood for this awkward evening of what seems like frenemies. The cinematography is nothing short of spectacular as the framing and shots help imbue the tone and immerse the audience into the awkward, narcissistic atmosphere of this dinner party. While the choice of a black and white style may be a bit odd, it could be to distract from a very boring colour palette to focus on the characters and dialogue-heavy story. In fact, the use of black and white actually accents the tone of the story blending well with the choice of music throughout the film.
Overall, The Party is a character-driven, dialogue-heavy drama supported by an A-list cast. With an immersive, emotionally-draining and thought-provoking story, sublime cinematography, a beautiful score and well-written, flawed characters, this is one party that is not worth missing. It is the best example of how to do a great talking head stage play for the screen.
Score: 7.5/10

And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waters. Matthew 8:24
Maybe you are in a storm right now that is overwhelming you. The winds are howling and the water is rising and you don't see how you can make it~
In Matthew when the storm came, Jesus was sleeping and the disciples ran to Him and woke Him up saying, "Lord, save us! We are perishing!" Matthew 8:25. That is good advice. When the storms come, run to Jesus!
In every storm God is teaching us something, but not every storm has the same purpose. When we find ourselves in a storm, do we seek God in it or relief from it? Some storms are meant to perfect us; to grow us in our faith and endurance. These storms are meant to deepen our faith. There are also storms that are meant to get us back to Jesus; when we have wandered from Him. This is usually when we have been rebellious and want to go our own way. Another type of storm is one meant for our protection. Many times we may never know just what we were protected from. Then, there is the storm that changes the direction of our lives; we may lose our job, have to move away…something that we were not expecting, and yet when we look back, we see God's hand and blessing.
Storms have the unique ability to show us where we are and where we need to grow in our faith. The way we react to storms will show us where we are spiritually. When you think of Job and the storm that he went through, in the end he said, "I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees You." Job 42:5. It was after the storm that Job realized just how mighty and awesome God was, that he now knew Him in a much deeper and more intimate way. That is what all storms are meant to do, to draw us to a closer and deeper relationship with God.
The next time you find yourself in a storm, remember to cry out, "Lord, help me!" The only way to survive the storms that come into our lives is with Jesus. He is the only anchor that will keep us safe.

Do you ever long to go back to those childhood days? The days when you felt protected and someone else could make everything better.
Looking back now things seemed so simple (obviously at the time it did not always feel like this) but now I sometimes feel like the whole world is resting on my shoulders. It scares me how my decisions could affect not just my life, but the lives of those so precious to me.
So I was surprised at how revisiting a childhood family past time, such as a walk in the woods, gave me such comfort.
We stumbled across Alice Holt Forest, near Farnham, on our first trip to meet our puppy (another story) and we were pleasantly surprised to see how much there is to do there. These are a woods with a difference.
Along the adventure trail (just one of the many trails on offer) there are structures for the kids to climb and explore. A 3d maze, assault course, wooden owl tower and many more. If you look closely at the photo, you will see a little adventurer peering out the peep hole of the tower.
It's a nice change to find a place with things to offer all the girls (these days we do struggle to find an activity to please an age range of 7 to 2), but this ticked all the boxes. We all left feeling relaxed and nicely tired.
The perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
How do you enjoy your Sunday?

Mel, a lucky teenager who won a contest, decides to visit her father right before he died of an illness five years ago. In a pre-flight warning, Mel agrees to a lifetime disclosure that outlines the main law of wave travel -- 'no transfer of wave privileges to anyone without the sole discretion of the waveline facility.' Mel must decide to break the rules to give her father the gift of an extended life, or sacrifice her own life altogether.

Predicting a Behavioral Profile for Pleasure Travelers on the Basis of Internet Use SegmentationJournal of Travel Research
Document TypeArticle
Publication Date5-1-1999
AbstractIn an attempt to create a behavioral profile of pleasure travelers segmented based on Internet use, 5,319 pleasure travelers were interviewed. Initially, the respondents were classified as an Internet user or Internet nonuser based on whether or not they would use the Internet to seek travel-related information. Using discriminant analysis, chi square, and analysis of variance statistical techniques, a profile of demographic and behavioral characteristics was created. The results of this study suggest that people who use the Internet to search for travel-related information are likely to be people who are (a) college-educated owners of computers, (b) less than 45 years of age, (c) stay more often in commercial lodging establishments, and (d) spend more money each day while traveling. Implications for marketing managers and future research are discussed.

Blue Murder (band)
This article needs additional citations for verification. (November 2008) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Blue Murder were an English hard rock band, founded by ex-Whitesnake, Tygers of Pan Tang and Thin Lizzy guitarist John Sykes.
Blue Murder
|Hard rock, Heavy metal
|Years active
|Associated acts
|Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy, Tygers of Pan Tang, John Sloman's Badlands
|Past members
Blue Murder was formed by John Sykes in 1988. As he was largely elemental for the success of Whitesnake's multiplatinum-selling self-titled album, their label Geffen signed a record deal with Sykes following his dismissal from the band.
In the nascent stages of the band, drummer Cozy Powell - with whom Sykes had played in Whitesnake - was attached to the project. Ray Gillen, who had previously sung for Black Sabbath and later for Badlands - not the same band Badlands (née John Sloman's Badlands) that Sykes once played in - sang for an early version of Blue Murder, and reportedly the band recorded demos with him. Additionally, Tony Martin (who replaced Gillen in Black Sabbath), Derek St. Holmes and David Glen Eisley briefly worked with the band, but never in an official capacity.[1]
Upon comparing the original demos with Sykes' vocals to the demos with Ray Gillen, A&R executive John Kalodner encouraged Sykes to handle the vocal duties himself.
Blue Murder released two studio albums: Blue Murder in 1989 and Nothin' but Trouble in 1993. A live album, Screaming Blue Murder was released in Japan only in 1994, but has since been released elsewhere via iTunes.
The band was dropped by their label in the mid-90s, at which point Sykes (the only consistent member in the changing line-ups) recorded Out of My Tree in 1995 with Blue Murder members Marco Mendoza and Tommy O'Steen, effectively transforming Blue Murder into an "official" Sykes solo project.
On 13 March 2016 keyboardist Nik Green died from cancer.[2]
