Patty Jenkins
Im Jahre 2008 gründeten Daniel Arsham und Alex Mustonen Snarkitecture, eine kollaborative und experimentelle Praxis, die in den Gebieten zwischen Kunst und Architektur operiert. Sie haben seit ihrer gemeinsamen Studentenzeit an der Cooper Union in New York ein gemeinsames Interesse an der Schnittmenge von Kunst und Architektur. Ihren ersten Auftrag erhielten sie von Dior Homme. Der Name leitet sich von Lewis Carrolls fantasievollem Gedicht "The Hunting of the Snark" ab. Snarkitecture entwirft dauerhafte Projekte auf architektonischem Maßstab und funktionelle Objekte mit neuen und ideenreichen Zwecken, die für Momente des Staunens und der Interaktion sorgen, um Menschen die direkte Interaktion mit ihrer Umgebung zu ermöglichen. Durch Transformation des Vertrauten in das Außerordentliche lässt Snarkitecture das Unerwartete in der Architektur entstehen.
Taylor Sheridan
In 2012, Taylor Sheridan sold his original screenplay for HELL OR HIGH WATER (fka COMANCHERIA) to Sidney Kimmel Entertainment. The film, a drama set in the struggling rural areas of West Texas, was released by CBS films in August 2016 and stars Chris Pine, Ben Foster, and Jeff Bridges. The script, which was on the Black List in 2012, has earned Taylor nominations for Best Screenplay at the 2016 Gotham Awards, 2016 Critics' Choice Awards, and 2017 Independent Spirit Awards.
His previous screenplay for SICARIO—directed by Denis Villeneuve and starring Benicio Del Toro, Emily Blunt and Josh Brolin—was released in September 2015 to critical acclaim and box office success. The film was produced by Basil Iwanyk, Molly Smith, Trent Luckinbill, Thad Luckinbill and Ed McDonnell and released by Lionsgate. The film was also nominated for several awards including Best Theatrical Motion Picture by the PGA, Best Original Screenplay by the WGA, and was awarded the Spotlight Award for Outstanding Collaborative Vision by the National Board of Review.
A sequel to SICARIO, called SOLDADO, is currently in production. The film will be directed by Stefano Sollima, and both Del Toro and Brolin will reprise their roles.
Sheridan is adapting DISORDER, based on the French film, for Escape Artists and Sony Pictures and previously adapted DARK INVASION, Howard Blum's non-fiction novel, for Warner Bros., with Bradley Cooper, John Lesher and Adam Kassan attached as producers on the project. Sheridan has also worked on two projects for Andrew Lauren. In television, Sheridan is in pre-production on his series "Yellowstone" for the Paramount Network alongside producers Art and Jon Linson.

I've always loved people—their life stories, their struggles, their successes. I regularly meet individuals actively cultivating their spiritual life. And I love sharing Science and Health with them!
I see much of my own journey in these seekers. A few years into my career in the mental health field, despite having achieved professional success, I felt empty inside. I had everything I'd been taught would make me happy but instead was dissatisfied and restless, yearning for something deeper. That's when I was introduced to Christian Science through Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by religious reformer, Mary Baker Eddy. In it, I found a shared sacred space with the author and experienced a profound sense of coming home.
Some years later, I was compelled to leave my psychotherapy practice to focus completely on my Christian Science healing practice. It was an imperative demand from within me—I had to be true to myself. "His word is in my heart like a fire…I am weary of holding it in."* I needed to practice in the way I understood would be most helpful.
Since then, sharing the revolutionary message contained in the pages of Science and Health has been the cornerstone of my life. I helped oversee the worldwide activity of bringing the book to a wider public audience. I also managed a special project established to respond to the growing interest from healthcare professionals in learning more about Christian Science. I've lectured to the public in a variety of settings and venues, from prisons to professional healthcare audiences and everything in between. I love all of it!
What a special opportunity Christian Science lectures provide for opening the way for the spiritual seeker in all of us to learn, grow, and heal. I welcome all inquiries!

Olajumoke's testimonial event that held in Lagos State was very successful with some top Lagos socialites gracing the event under the coverage of top media brands.
Former Agege bread-seller, Olajumoke Orisaguna yesterday celebrated her one year swift rise to stardom from the streets of Yaba, Lagos where she used to sell Agege bread.
The event held at the Thenet Studios, 32 Community Road, Off Allen Avenue, Ikeja.
Olajumoke looked outstanding with her husband, Mr Sunday Orisaguna who has been camera-shy since the advent of his wife.
The duo have two kids together and the entire family had since relocated to Lagos where Olajumoke currently works as a model and brand ambassadors of some top brands.

Visualizing Relationships: TuneGlue
October 9, 2006
TuneGlue is one of many interesting mechanisms for visualizing relationships. Type the name of your favorite band or artist, and it will generate similar artists, list albums etc.. all in a sleek and smooth interface. While it is absolutely beautiful, I think these interfaces still have a long way to come. This one is definitely worth a visit (or even a bookmark). Another worthy bookmark, the music genome project Pandora could learn a thing or two from these guys – and maybe vice-versa. Come to think of it, a synthesis between the two would be a spectacular way to experience music. I would personally love to use a clever and well conceived system that would allow for both playback, commentary, and of course explanations of relationships.
Anyone want to collaborate?
One Response to "Visualizing Relationships: TuneGlue"
July 25, 2008 at 10:19 pm
Hey Jack, thank you very much for writing about Tunglue..:-) if you can find a api that allows you to search/load mp3 files based on artists names we'd be more than happy to hook tuneglue up to it.:-)
We've also further developed a 6 degress of separation game based on tuneglue to see if two users can connect two randow artists in the least steps… but more of that on a later release.:-)
many thanks again.

I stole the title. I read it somewhere else, and loved it. It speaks truth to my life.
A beautiful day in Crown Point today. The wind blew and the sun shined. The temperature was perfect. We planted potatoes. The kids walked the trails. The dogs chased squirrels. Kids quarreled. We ate breakfast. We ate lunch. Kenney came home and we opted for a simple dinner. Nachos, fresh pineapple, and a last minute pinterest find of zucchini bites. The adults in the family drank a glass of wine. We sat at the table. Tommy and Audrey were reminded to keep sitting. We all took turns praying. (We actually fight about who gets to pray at the dinner table... ummm... something a bit wrong with that picture!) Noah had to be reminded to stay focused. Caleb had to be reminded to keep chewing. Isabell had to be hand fed. Tommy chatted on and on about the pet frog he wanted and his walk to Nana's house today.
All the while Kenney and I talked about how excited we are to have friends coming to visit us. We talked about what kind of dog we would like when it's time to get another dog. We talked about trips to the beach, about vacations. We chatted about our favorite places to eat. We talked about school for the kids.
I decided I needed some things from Home Depot and we cleared the table and at 7pm made a trip out with the family.
At the end of the day
the dishes are still in the sink
the laundry still waits to be put away
But tonight, Kenney and I sat and talked while the kids slept. We enjoyed the evening. We enjoyed the hustle and bustle of our gifts of children. We enjoyed each other. We both realized today, neither dishes or laundry were what mattered.
In our ordinary day, God was glorified. In our marriage, in our parenting, in our children - He was glorified.
Through all our mistakes, through the kids fighting, through every little detail of the day, God is still good. He is always good. He is always perfect. He is always glorified. There is nothing in my day that can not be used to bring Him glory.
That is something to be excited about.
These last months have been a challenge for us. We have growing pains. We are finding our groove. Growing together. Finding routine. God is reminding us of our fallen state. God is reminding us He is faithful. Isabell's diagnosis of arthrogryposis has been a hit to us. Letting go of expectations has been hard. Satan seems to enjoy knocking at our door. Kenney and I have had much learning and growing to do. Each new change in our lives brings new characteristics to the surface.
But tonight- we confess our sins. We enjoy each other. We enjoy our children. We are thankful of the gifts God has given us.
I am thankful that God knows what I need. Even in my efforts to be realistic, and of sound mind, He knows what we need. Isabell may never walk, may never be fully mobile. And the sad truth is, had we known that ... I can not say we would have made the choice that God obviously wanted us to make- because here she is, our daughter, by God's perfect plan.
I rejoice in the fact that God is in control. His plans for us are perfect, because God is good.
In our projects, busyness, medical diagnosis, events, and run around. We have forgotten who God is.
He sent His son to die for our sins, because HE LOVED US. (John 3:16)
He loved us so much, that even in our sin, in our busyness,in our forgetfulness, in our run around and medical diagnosis... in all of that... HE DIED FOR US. (Romans 5:8)
I pray I remember today. I remember the ordinary. I remember the little things, the simple things. I remember God is and can always be glorified regardless of the day, location, or circumstance. I pray Kenney and I cling to that truth. I pray we remember He loves us.

Resilience Initiative (CARRI) announced the addition of University of Southern Mississippi/Gulf Coast professor Dr. Tom Lansford as the local research liaison for the CARRI-Gulfport, Mississippi partnership. CARRI is working closely with leaders in Gulfport to help develop and share the essential benchmarks, tools and techniques that any community or region should take to strengthen its ability to prepare for, respond to, and rapidly recover from significant natural and man-made disasters with minimal downtime to basic community, government and business services.
Dr. Lansford is the Interim Chair of the Department of Political science and also serves as Assistant Dean of the College of Arts and Letters at the University of Southern Mississippi/Gulf Coast. He will be directing an interdisciplinary team to support the CARRI-Gulfport partnership including conducting much of the due-diligence reviews of existing reports, plans, requirements and participant interviews to understand what the Gulf Coast community is already doing to be resilient.
"We are excited to add Dr. Lansford to the CARRI-Gulfport partnership," said Warren Edwards, CARRI director. "In order for this project to be successful, input from all sectors of the community is vital. Dr. Lansford brings strong academic credentials and local knowledge that will assist in defining what will make Gulfport and the region more resilient. As the local research liaison, he and his University of Southern Mississippi colleagues will be an important repository of CARRI's findings going forward."

Book Review: Royal Bastards
AUTHOR: Andrew Shvarts
PUBLISHED: May 30th, 2017
GENRE: Fantasy
PREMISE: A group of bastard children band together to save their kingdom...
MY REVIEW: Sigh. I wanted to like this book so badly. To be fair to the author: if I turned off my brain while reading, and stopped noticing how literally EVERYTHING in this book has been done before, and didn't wind up comparing the two, I might have been able to enjoy it more. But sorry, I don't do that while reading. Or consuming any forms of entertainment really. I like to think about the story and all of that.
So, I'm sorry to say: I did not enjoy this one. The world building is paper-thin and again, stuff that has been done before. The characters are typical stock characters that again, I've seen done before (in much better, more fleshed out ways). Every story line I was able to call from chapter two. It was that predictable. That's not even going into how awkward it was to have teenagers in a medieval fantasy setting using modern language and slang.
The story isn't offensive. Nothing bothered me. It's just SO BLAND. I'm honestly really surprised at the high rating this is getting on Goodreads. Because frankly, I personally can't give this book more then two and a half stars. That's even with me being lenient and taking into account that this is the author's first book.
WHO SHOULD READ: Eh...if you don't mind bland fantasy books?
MY RATING: Two and a half out of Five this could have been so much better then it was feelings

I just wanted to post a quick little thing about my birthday. My birthday was July 27th, but we celebrated it the Friday before. On Friday mornings Steve has to be at work at like 4:45, but before he went to work he woke up super duper early to set-up a surprise for me. He woke me up several times while getting ready because I heard him leave the house and was trying to yell at him for not kissing my goodbye, but he wasn't leaving, just planning. So anyways, when Steve left for work at 4:30 he left the light on in the living room, and when he opened the front door the bedroom door popped open and light flooded over my sleeping body. So I tried yelling at Steve but he was gone already, so I said out loud to myself about him, "You are so annoying", then I walked out into the living room to find this wonderful birthday present from him, and then said (again out loud) "You are so cute." So I looked at this little display of presents, turned off the light, crawled back into bed, and called him. He was a little disappointed when I called because I didn't sound very excited about my presents, but in reality I loved it! So when I woke up for real that morning, I went into the bathroom and there was a really sweet birthday card from him, and on the back it said go to the living room, of course, I already knew what was in the living room, but I decided to go investigate even more. So he got me a new outfit, maternity pants (super cute and comfy), three cute shirts (the two you see here, and inside the bag is a third one like the turquoise one but in light pink), a necklace, bangle bracelets, a cuff bracelet, and a cute tote! And it was all dressed up on this mannequin that his sister has, and he even stuffed a pillow under the shirt so i looked pregnant!!! SO cute, I still love it and think it was the coolest thing ever. When I went to get dressed I couldn't figure out how to take the pants off, turns out you have to lift off the body of the mannequin, then you can get to the pants, a little awkward picking up a female torso and laying it down on your couch, but I loved it!!!

Having used the Damon System since 1998 and having served as the leader and instructor of The Damon Orthodontic Study Group of Texas since 2000, Dr. Anderson is quite familiar with its advantages. Light, continuous forces with reduced friction results in more efficient tooth movement and less discomfort. The high-tech, super elastic arch wires and springs used in this system deliver this kind of force, and work over a longer period of time. This often translates into more time between appointments, and less school and work missed.
The Damon system utilizes a sliding door technology with no steel or elastic ties. This reduces emergencies and provides more comfort to the patient. Round, colored elastic ties may be attractive, but are "magnets for food", fatigue quickly and cause the teeth to move slowly due to increased friction.

Many of us spend the bulk of our day-to-day lives at work. We show up to the same place, see the same faces, take on the same activities, and focus ourselves on the same missions. This sense of purpose is essential and can be an incredibly grounding force in our lives. It's why, when we're in that surreal space in between jobs, we can feel a bit untethered without it. While the freedom can be exhilarating, after a few weeks the lack of purpose and structure can start to become a bit unnerving.
Imagine that span between jobs growing to a month. Then months. Then years. For millions of Americans, what was once simply unnerving has become oppressive, and the longer they are out of work, the worse it gets. Imagine yourself becoming professionally isolated, your skills and networks atrophy, your confidence falls. Interviews become harder, then fewer, and finally the calls stop all together. Even though you have incredible talent, you begin to feel like there will never be work again, and the employment market seems to confirm your worst fears.
Imagine that you're ready to give up, but you're going to take one more chance. You read about a 4-month Salesforce Administrator training program at JVS. You don't know what Salesforce is, but the training is free, it includes preparation for a certification exam, learning how to gather requirements, assess business needs and manage a project. It includes guest speakers from the Salesforce community, mentorship, and paid work experience.
As you move through the program, you realize how accessible the platform is. The speakers from the Salesforce community are continuously encouraging you to keep moving forward. You work harder than you've worked in years, but it's exhilarating, and in that final hurdle you pass your certification. Everyone in your cohort celebrates by going to Dreamforce, and for the first time in years, you are greeted as a professional peer. People want to talk to you about opportunities, and a job looks within reach. In four short months a world that felt very dark has been transformed, and you feel vital again.
For many of the 28 participants who are just wrapping up JVS's inaugural Salesforce Administrator training, this is their story. Over 90% have passed their Admin certification, 30% went on to get their Dev certification, and much of their success has been because of the amazing support of the Salesforce community. JVS will have new cohorts starting in January, and we'd love to have the community join us in cultivating passionate, capable Admins!

Stephen and Rianna Engagement | Evansville Indiana Photography
I met Rianna and Stephen in downtown Newburgh, Indiana for their engagement session. They walked hand in hand with their sweet pup and danced in the light, and it was easy to see just how in love they are! It was a rare day for August in Indiana; there was a lovely breeze and the light was total perfection as it peeked in and out of the clouds.
Can we take a quick second to talk about Rianna's ring?! It's to die for! The artful design, vintage inspiration, and double halo around the pear has me gushing! Stephen did an amazing job working with a local jeweler to have it designed into absolute perfection! Custom rings are my favorite and I love hearing all about how they come together!
Rianna and Stephen, we're wishing you all the best as you begin the wedding planning process! Cherish the sweet season of anticipation of being engaged; it's such a fun part of the process. It was a pleasure to photograph this exciting time in your life!

Breakfast chili haiku
Eggs bacon chicken
Breakfast chili great big win
But not for vegans
Positively providing a palpably potent protein packed punch
We are having this chili for breakfast, we'll be travelling for lunch
Forward to tomorrow's ultramarathon, I say
Fortified with olives I could run all day
Er…and afterward if I'm feeling alright
The beer will flow by the pint tomorrow night
½ C chopped Canadian bacon
1 can (10 oz) chicken, cut up
3 T ketchup
1 T chili powder
1 t paprika
¼ C diced green olives
3 eggs
For the side:
- Add chili ingredients to a pot (all except for the eggs) and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Push chili to one side of the pot.
- In the vacated space, fry 3 eggs, scrambled style, until set.
- Mix cooked eggs with the rest of the chili.
- Serve with hashbrowns.
Tasting Notes:
Good and balanced. I enjoyed this chili quite a bit and consumed the lion's share. The saltiness of the olives complements the sweetness of the ketchup quite nicely. From the ITP there was no consensus with regard to this chili's flavor. Thoughts ranged from okay to good to awesome. There was, however, clear agreement on its appearance- weird. Okay, it looks weird.

Cynthia Ozick is one of America's literary treasures. For her sixth novel, she set herself a brilliant challenge: to retell the story of Henry James's "The Ambassadors"--the work he considered his best--but as a photographic negative, that is the plot is the same, the meaning is reversed. At the core of the story is Bea Nightingale, a fiftyish divorced schoolteacher whose life has been on hold during the many years since her brief marriage. When her estranged, difficult brother asks her to leave New York for Paris to retrieve a nephew she barely knows, she becomes entangled in the lives of her brother's family and even, after so long, her ex-husband. Every one of them is irrevocably changed by the events of just a few months in that fateful year.
Traveling from New York to Paris to Hollywood, aiding and abetting her nephew and niece while waging a war of letters with her brother, facing her ex-husband and finally shaking off his lingering sneers from decades past, Bea Nightingale is a newly liberated divorcee who inadvertently wreaks havoc on the very people she tries to help.
"Foreign Bodies" may be Cynthia Ozick's greatest and most virtuosic novel of all, as it transforms Henry James's prototype into a brilliant, utterly original, new American classic.

Luke 21/
"By your endurance you will gain your lives" (v19). Jesus taught that the value of our lives extends far beyond our years on earth. Everything that is given to God, everything that is redeemable by Christ, will be saved (v28-26); the rest will perish. This perspective changes what we invest in, how we work, what we care about, and how we face persecution or suffering. The "poor widow" gave everything she had because her heart was guided by the eternal values of the kingdom of God (v4).
"This will be your opportunity to bear witness" (v13). If our hearts are set on Christ, everything we say and do bears witness to Him.

Recipes From Friends and Family
Ranch er, Farmstead Dressing
Those dry ranch dressing packets certainly have their place in the kitchen (we're looking at you slow cooker, with your Mississippi Pot Roast and Santa Fe Soup recipes…), but fresh vegetables demand a fresh dressing. And what better way to add some zing to their zang with a homemade dressing!
This is a most forgiving recipe that you can adapt to your family's taste buds but start by simply stirring together the following:
(yields about 8 servings)
- ½ cup plain whole milk yogurt
- ½ cup Stone Hollow Farmstead buttermilk
- ¼ cup good mayonnaise
- juice and zest of one large lemon
- 1 clove garlic, grated or minced
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced (white and light green parts only)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs of your choice (we like chives, basil, parsley)
- kosher salt + freshly ground pepper, to taste
Easter egg radishes and crisp cucumbers love this dressing. So do tender lettuce leaves and slender green beans. Roasted potatoes and beef tenderloin are happy with it too.
Wanna get a little crazy? Try folding in some finely chopped arugula to the dressing. It adds a peppery kick that sugar snap peas adore.
Recipes We Love From People We Trust
Field Pea Relish w/ Panko Encrusted Fish
Buttermilk Sweet Potato Gratin
Cucumber Salad w/ Buttermilk Dressing + Pickled Onion
Broccoli Rabe + Italian Sausage w/ Pasta - traditionally served with orechiette, but these flavors go very well together
Lasagna Primavera - no need to parcook noodles
Winter Greens Lasagna - no need to parcook noodles

STREAMS is the interweaving of three themes that have always haunted me: family, guilt and redemption. Through them, I try to describe and translate into an economy of words and gestures, the complexity of the existence of a family. This film is also a way for me to return to my past as a young footballer in Tunis and to film these three worlds that I crossed with fury and noise: family, football and the street. STREAMS is the uncompromising portrait of a society that cannot get rid of the demons of the past. A society in full collapse.

New EBA capital rules – how will they affect you?
14 July 2017
The EBA is close to finalising its report into a new prudential regime for investment firms. This is in response to a call for advice from the European Commission (EC).
On 3 July 2017, the EBA held a public hearing in London on its progress thus far, specifically in relation to firm classifications, capital and liquidity requirements and reporting.
How to categorise firms
The EBA has recommended three categories:
- Class 1 – Investment firms that are systemic and 'bank-like'. These firms are subject to full bank prudential requirements
- Class 2 – Firms that are not systemic or 'bank-like'
- Class 3 – Firms that are very small with 'non-interconnected' services.
The EBA have now updated their recommendation leading to some potential winners and losers. This is due to the blurring of lines between Class 1 and Class 2 and the tightening of thresholds between Class 2 and Class 3:
- Some non-systemic firms may be deemed Class 1 based on the size of the firm
- Some systemic and non 'bank-like' firms may be excluded from Class 1
- Classification of Class 2 and 3 firms will be determined by thresholds designed to capture the largest firms in class 2
- Any firm that holds client money, safeguards or administers client assets or deals on own account will automatically be classified as class 2.
Once the EBA have finalised the details of classification, firms will need to pay careful attention to this aspect of the regime and be prepared to adjust their prudential frameworks accordingly.
Proposed capital requirements
Class 1 firms will continue to follow the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) whilst the proposed capital requirements for Class 2 firms are determined by the K-factors formula based on the types of activity a firm undertakes. These activities cover Risk to Customer (RtC), Risk to Market (RtM) and Risk to Firm (RtF). The capital requirement is calculated as follows:
The EBA provided their proposed calibration of the coefficients (a to e) to be used with the K-factors. NPR and DTF will only apply for firms trading on their own account.
NPR will be based on the CRR2 methodology for market risk, TCD on a simplified version of the mark to market method for counterparty credit risk and CON will use the large exposure methodology for the trading book.
These factors are subject to final calibration and the EBA are currently seeking to collect further data to facilitate this.
Liquidity requirements
The EBA proposed that the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) will apply to all class 2 firms. However, the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) would not be applicable since the NSFR design is still under development.
A liquid asset requirement of one third of the fixed overhead requirement (FOR) will apply to Class 2 and 3 firms. Liquid assets will have to meet the definition of high quality liquid assets (HQLA) under the LCR and can be supplemented by firms' own cash.
The EBA also stressed that liquid assets can be used by firms in exceptional and unexpected circumstances even if this results in liquid assets falling below the required minimum. Firms should have a plan for restoration of the buffer.
Reporting requirements
A simplified and more proportionate reporting framework for Class 2 and 3 firms is being proposed. This will include the key attributes of solvency, capital composition and requirements, liquidity requirements, concentration risk and specific business model requirements. The EBA suggested that reporting for Class 3 firms should be less granular than under Class 2. The EBA also proposes that Pillar 3 requirements should be minimal for Class 2 firms whilst Class 3 firms should be exempt.
For many firms this will result in a change to their existing reporting framework and for smaller firms there may be a lightening of the regulatory reporting burden.
What happens next?
The EBA are holding a round table in Brussels on 17th July 2017 to gather further feedback from stakeholders, particularly in relation to classification thresholds. They are also gathering additional data to support the calibration of the K-factors. The EBA expects to submit its final report in September 2017 with a legislative proposal expected by end of 2017.
What do you need to do?
The EBA's recommendations represent the biggest shake-up of prudential regulation for investment firms to date.
- Now is the time for firms to plan for the potential impacts, which could be significant. Investment firms should carefully consider the likely impact on their capital adequacy and plan for any potential capital shortfalls as a result of the new regime.
- Firms may also wish to take part in the EBA's data collection exercise.
Our specialist prudential practice can carry out an assessment of how the new regime may affect your firm and can help you make the necessary preparations.

Cauliflower Fried "Rice" with Bacon by Ashley
This recipe might not be earth shattering, it's all over the paleo web but I had to post it because it is really that good and a great substitute to the usual fried rice. As I type this, I am eating some for breakfast, that is how much I love it and I brought some into work and told people it was fried rice and tricked a handful of people which I love doing. My philosophy on posting these recipes is trying to use the most natural ingredients as possible and I try to stay away from bottle sauces or flavors, but I had to breakdown on this one and purchase Coconut Aminos in place of soy. If you have not heard of coconut aminos, then do a little googling and see how amazing this stuff actually is. It's gluten free, dairy free, low glycemic, vegan, etc etc etc and I'll say it is pretty fantastic if you like tamari. Okay, down to the recipe, it took a little while to prep and get everything together as there are four separate cooking steps, but again well worth it and it's pretty cheap to throw together and a nice way to get in a lot of vegetables. You can put any vegetable you like or have at home in this, I just used what I had in my kitchen.
1 small head of cauliflower, stems and core removed and cut in small equal pieces
1 tablespoon of coconut oil
2 eggs used to make a small omelet
3 slices of nice thick bacon
1 carrot cut into thin discs
½ a white onion chopped
Big handful of button mushrooms cleaned and chopped
½ a cup of frozen peas
2 garlic cloves chopped
2 inches of ginger peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons of Coconut Aminos
1 tablespoon of sea salt
3 green onions, bottom white part and an inch of the green sliced
Because there are so many steps, I'm going to write this up a little different, think of the song Step by Step by the NKOTB while reading and don't pretend you don't have that song flagged as a favorite on your ipod. Corey Dyer, I'm looking at you.
Step 1: Heat a small pan on medium and add in a tablespoon of coconut oil and swirl around the pan. Scramble the two eggs in a separate bowl and then add into the hot pan and make sure the entire bottom is covered with egg. Let cook for a minute, then loosen the bottom of the omelet and flip it over. Its okay if this doesn't happen as effortlessly as a professional as it's going to be mixed into the cauliflower. Let the egg cook for another minute on the other side, then remove the egg to a plate and place to the side.
Step 2: You want to steam the cauliflower at this point. If you have a steamer, then use it and if not, then pour about an inch of water into a medium pot and bring to a boil. Remove the pot from the heat and add in the cauliflower and cover and let sit for 6 minutes. Check the cauliflower at this time and see if you can easily put a knife through one piece of the cauliflower, if you can, it's ready and place the cauliflower on the side, if not, then let steam for another minute or two. At this point, you want to turn the steamed cauliflower into a rice like mixture. If you have a food processor, use it and pulse the cauliflower 4 or 5 times into a smaller mixture, make sure to not turn it into mash. If you have a good blender, use that and do the same. If you don't have either, then use a knife and just chop away.
Step 3: Cook the 3 slices of bacon to your liking. Once finished, chop the bacon into small pieces.
Step 4: Once the bacon is removed from the pan, add in all of the vegetables, garlic and ginger except the cauliflower. Toss everything together and coat the vegetables with the bacon fat and cook for 6-7 minutes. Add in the cauliflower, egg and bacon and toss everything together. Add in the salt and coconut aminos and again, toss everything together and taste and add in more salt or aminos as needed.
Step 5: Sprinkle the "rice" with the green onions and enjoy!

According to the GSMA, by 2025 all new cars will be connected and will have a growing number of in-vehicle systems being dependent on software. On average, there are over 100 Electronic Control Units (ECU) in vehicles today. Each vehicle has over 100 million lines of code and the number is growing. (Source 1: GSMA 2/2012). With such electronic component complexity, the ability to update automobile software over-the-air is vitally important to maintain customer satisfaction.
HARMAN Remote Vehicle Updating Service is the only OTA service that enables efficient full-vehicle software management. First, the HARMAN OTA solution reduces the need for recalls by remotely addressing system malfunctions and security threats. In addition, OEMs can use the OTA solution to decrease time-to-market by updating software while the vehicle is still on the production line. It also allows consumers to access new features and functions post-sale, maintaining a direct connection between the OEM and the owner, increasing OEM brand awareness and customer loyalty.
This solution enables OTA updates and management of the entire vehicle, from head unit to the smallest ECUs, and even includes those units with low processing and memory resources. It was specifically built to prevent failures by eliminating any potential risks, such as network problems, cyber security attacks and file tampering, providing OEMs with a secure and efficient way to mitigate risk.
HARMAN's solution leverages its unique Smart Delta technology which reduces the file update package up to 99 percent. This contributes greatly to network efficiency and cost, as well as minimizing the time it takes for the update to be completely executed. Seventeen OEMs have chosen HARMAN's OTA solution enabling 25 million vehicles, making it the only commercially deployed OTA option on the market.
The HARMAN Remote Vehicle Updating Service provides manufacturing and logistics efficiencies for OEMs in several ways. For example, deploying the solution:
Using the Smart Delta technology, the Update Generator compares any two versions of firmware, applications or maps and identifies the differences between the two versions, and then creates the delta update file.
The Software Catalog manages full versions and delta updates of all the application embedded software, Electronic Control Unit binaries and firmware update packages available for remotely managed vehicles.
Update Orchestrator manages device update campaigns and properties such as time, network bearer type, update type and device population. Each update package is specifically tailored for every vehicle.
The Software Installer is Operating System agnostic and installs, removes and updates any type of software on the vehicle. This includes user space applications, embedded system applications and full Electronic Control Unit binaries.
Using Smart Delta technology, the Firmware Update Installer applies the generated delta update file to the existing on-vehicle firmware to update it to the target firmware version.
Perform an OTA update to the vehicle's flash partitions; An updated flash partition layout is then defined and sent remotely to the device where it is applied in-place without compromising on-device software.
The Software Update Management set of capabilities brings a holistic set of features to HARMAN's market-facing solutions that guarantee all connected devices will be securely and successfully managed over time, regardless of the network protocol, device platform or operating system.READ MORE
HARMAN Device Management & Settings capabilities are involved in the remote management, monitoring, analysis and configuration of connected devices. The set of functions and capabilities enables the System Administrator to actively monitor all connected devices while building and maintaining an accurate and valuable real-time database of these devices, their software configuration and their status.READ MORE
Powered by Type-1 hypervisor technology, HARMAN's Device Virtualization capabilities enable multiple operating systems to run on a single hardware platform, securely and with full isolation. HARMAN supports diverse hardware and software platforms, and enables RAM and persistent storage to be portioned and allocated per virtual machine-specific performance requirements.READ MORE

How to Choose the Right SEO Services Company
Working with a reliable SEO expert is vital for any SEO campaign to succeed. A company offering SEO services can help your business grow by improving your online presence and establishing your brand online. The Internet is a powerful tool to attract people to your website, promote your products and services, and increase sales. Many businesses fail to take advantage of this trend due to incompetent SEO consultant.
An SEO consultant should have the necessary experience and knowledge about this approach to identify the right strategies and explore new opportunities. Not all companies have the same needs. This is why it is essential to select the best SEO company for you.
With so many SEO consultants available, how can you spot the right one for your business?
● Check their Own SEO
How can a company offer SEO services if their own website isn't performing well? It makes sense right? But sometimes, a company's rank doesn't completely define an SEO consultant. If they are new in the industry, it is understandable that you can't find them on the top page of major search engines. However, there are things you can check to evaluate the quality of service their offer.
Search for the SEO company and assess the meta description they use. Does it compel you to take action? How does this company rank locally? Change the location of your search engine to determine their local standing. Overall, you have to check if they are doing the campaign correctly.
● Assess Portfolio
The simplest and best way to gauge the SEO services provider is by looking at their portfolio. Check out their website and look for a list of companies they work with. You can also read some reviews or case studies they have done. While some consultants don't publish their client list publicly, most SEO companies show their previous and current clients on their page. After all, the list is a great evidence of their works. If you can't find any portfolio on the website, contact them and request for their portfolio. If they seem hesitant or not willing to provide you with a list of previous projects, you may start looking for someone else. You cannot entrust your SEO campaign to a consultant with no track record.
● Check Pricing
How much will it cost you to boost your online presence? Be sure to check their price point. Some SEO companies offer SEO packages with standardised pricing. These firms are usually not a good option since they will just plug you into their system and will let you go with it. A good SEO company will do an in-depth investigation on your website before they provide a quote. Remember each business have different needs based on their goals, markets and competition.
● Request for Website Audit
In connection with the pricing, it is important to request for a website audit to determine what strategies should be employed and what will not work. The SEO company should not include techniques that will not help your business and you will know these strategies through an audit. An audit doesn't cost much, but some companies offering SEO services provide free website audit. So might as well take advantage of this offering. The website audit can enlighten you about the issues of your website.

Image Comics, which will celebrate 25 years as a comic book publisher next year, is giving its fans a little gift.
The February issues of The Walking Dead, Invincible and Outcast, each written by Robert Kirkman, will cost 25 cents. The stories in those issues will be a good jumping on point for readers: The Walking Dead No. 163, with art by Charlie Adlard, follows the conclusion of the Whisperer War. (Enough said, to avoid potentially spoiling future seasons of "The Walking Dead" TV series.)
Invincible No. 133, drawn by Ryan Ottley, begins "The End of All Things," a 12-part story that will conclude the superhero series. Outcast No. 25, with art by Paul Azaceta, will introduce characters to the series about demonic possession.
The varied genres are a hallmark of today's Image Comics, which was formed in 1992 by several popular creators working for Marvel and DC Comics. Their goal was to control their own characters — creatively and financially. The company has had its ups and downs, but it has become a celebrated hub for creator-owned comics.
Mr. Kirkman became a partner in 2008 and noted the amount of freedom offered by the company. "If I wanted to kill Invincible, I wouldn't have to get clearance," he said. "At the end of the day, the decisions fall on me and my creative team."

Buckingham Palace - there were tons of people here, for no reason we could see, as there wasn't anything particularly interesting happening
Buckingham Palace gate - it's not too over the top, right?
Trafalgar Square, we came here after we were able to check into the hotel
That's me at Trafalgar Square, which was also crowded. We hit the National Art Gallery in the background after we took this pic.

Last week I got ten consecutive days off of work, so I decided it was time to take advantage and see a bit more of España. I thought it was kind of a crime that I hadn't yet seen Madrid, so it was time (followed by Valencia). I was really nervous about taking a vacation because I am on a very strict budget, but I desperately needed a break from the hostel and was eager to explore some more of the country. I took the frugal route (I wrote a post detailing my spending), but I also didn't go out partying at night or anything, as the trip was more of a clear-my-head and explore thing than a LEZRAAAGE fest.
Madrid is magic. Barcelona and Madrid are not even remotely the same. A lot of travelers I meet bypass Madrid on their Euro-trips because it's not a party hotspot and it's a necessity to know a little Spanish to get around. I didn't really have any expectations about the city -- travelers usually talk about it in a really neutral manner, "Yeah Madrid is cool. If you get the chance, totally go there," as opposed to the general Barcelona reaction of, "OMG best city EVERRRR!!" but living in a place for 6+ months naturally causes you to become a bit disenchanted after awhile.
I was told by Argentinian friends that Madrid is comparable to Buenos Aires, which made them a little indifferent. But I've never been to Buenos Aires. And I've never been anywhere in Spain outside of Catalunya. And I wanted to see the capital.
Don't you dare skip Madrid! Art, monuments, food, parks, and gardens. THE PARKS AND GARDENS! My 12-year-old self kept comparing the secret little gardens to the likes of those around Hyrule Castle in Zelda: Ocarina of Time (well, now you know what kind of kid I was...).
The big famous park is El Retiro, formally named Parque del Buen Retiro, which translates to "Park of the Pleasant Retreat" (isn't that beautiful?). The place is a maze of manicured shrubbery, flowers, and monuments and has an unquestionable aura of tranquility. Near the northern entrance is a pond filled with rowboats and folks relaxing, playing music, reading, etc.
Someone had told me about a secret garden called El Huerto de las Monjas, which was once used as a vegetable garden by a convent of nuns. In 1972, the convent was destroyed to build apartments, but the garden remained intact. I went to see it and it was lovely. They were doing some sort of maintenence on it and the fountain wasn't running, but I just love the fact that secret gardens exist, so for me it was worth going to find.
Palacio Real de Madrid (The Royal Palace of Madrid) is a spectacle for sure. It's considered the official residence of the Spanish Royal Family, although they no longer reside there. It's only used for state ceremonies these days, but several rooms are regularly open to the public for an €11 admission. I did not go inside, but thought it was totally worth seeing the exterior.
If you are unfamiliar with Picasso's Guernica, I'll fill you in: it's commonly considered the most important anti-war painting in history and it was painted as a reaction to the bombing of Guernica (a Basque village in Northern Spain) during the Spanish Civil War. Chances are you've learned about this painting sometime in your student life. What I'm getting at is that this painting is on display at the Reina Sofia in Madrid and if you're an art person at all, it's sort of a crime not to see it, especially since there are lots of times you can get in for free.
The first photo at the top of this post is of Puerta del Sol (Gate of the Sun), one of the busiest and most famous squares in Madrid. My friend Karlie, who lived in Madrid for a few months, told me to start in Sol, as it's where the city energy resides. It's the place where everyone gathers on New Year's Eve for the eating of Twelve Grapes.
Then there's Mercado de San Miguel -- a dope food market with an abundance of tapas bars and drink kiosks. Food is always my first priority when traveling -- sometimes I pick destinations based on the food -- so it was exciting to find this place. €1 snacks and €3 sangria. I have another post detailing food and my budget in Madrid, but just know that this place is a must-go for food people.
One of the most charming things I've ever seen everrrr is this little permanent book fair next to El Retiro on the Cuesta de Moyano hill. Little kiosks for buying a selling used books on a hill in a park. <3
Madrid and I bonded -- it's a cool, artsy city with an atmosphere that feels like authentic, contemporary Spain. I could see myself living there. The only thing missing is la playa.
I'm working on another post about how I spent less than €150 on this little trip (basically, where I got food because I've turned into that chick who tells you about everything they ate that day). I went to Valencia directly afterward (another entry in the works).
I'll leave these here in case you need more persuading:

This 1960 Tuxedo Black Corvette is an exceptionally original corvette that was originally owned by the original owner for about 12 years ( from about March, 1960 until sometime in 1972 ). The 2nd owner purchased this corvette in 1972 ( along with the original owner's house in Oneida, NY ), and he owned this corvette until 2001. A Corvette enthusiast from Louisville, Kentucky (Paul P.) purchased this corvette in July, 2001. To the best of my knowledge, the car has had 3 owners, including myself, during its 50+ year history.
This corvette has a gorgeous original body and original paint, and a completely rust-free (never rusted) frame. The engine is completely original and numbers matching with its 283ci 245 hp V8, Warner 4 Speed transmission, and4.11:1 Positraction rear end. Over the years, this car has been nicely maintained as original.
This corvette actually belongs in a museum, because of its low mileage, unrestored condition, and general overall appearance. This is a Corvette that is enjoyable to drive or show on any occasion. The V8 with the Warner 4 Speed is the perfect combination for someone who plans to use this corvette on nice weekends for shows, club events or pure driving pleasure, not to mention the investment value. This car runs perfectly and will go anywhere. This car also performs the way a Corvette should perform…..straight and strong to redline, brakes perfectly, and smooth at any speed.
Numbers Matching Original Engine
This Corvette has the original and correct, matching numbers, 283ci 245hp high performance V8 as denoted by the 6 digits of the engine code. These digits match with the last six digits on the VIN tag discussed above. The engine pad on this Corvette is as it should be and the stamping is absolutely original and authentic. Here are the numbers:
Engine Number # 104009 F107CT
Next six digits 104009 Production # 4,009
First letter F Engine assembled in Flint, Mi
Next four characters 107 January 07, 1960 Engine Assembly Date
Last two letters CT Engine suffix code CT = 283ci 245 hp with 4 speed trans
Engine Block Casting # 3756519
This casting number is correct for most 1960 corvette engines.
Engine Block Casting Date # A 6 0
Engine block casting date codes begin with the letter "A" for January, "B" for February, and so on through "L" for December. The letter "A" represents the month of January. This first letter is followed by a digit, or digits, representing the day of the month ("1" through "31") followed by a single digit designating the last digit of the calendar year.
A 6 0 = January 6, 1960
1960 Corvette engines were assembled at Flint, Michigan. The engine block in this car was cast on January 6th, 1960 and later assembled on January 07, 1960 (see Engine Number above). Final assembly of the car was completed on or about February 19th, 1960.
Numbers Matching Transmission and Rear End
The transmission and rear end on this car are also original and correct for this car.
Transmission, 4-speed
This corvette has the original Warner 4-speed transmission. The transmission is the original transmission that came with this corvette.
Rear End

Contact and Payment Information
Please give me a call with questions on this car. I enjoy the car hobby and I am more than happy to answer any questions. I will also help arrange for an inspection and work with your shipper to get the car loaded for transport. It's fairly stressful buying a 50 year old car on Ebay. I would strongly recommend coming to see the car in person, or hiring a competent inspector to examine any corvette purchase. It is better to invest $500 than make a $ 170,000+ or more mistake, and you will feel great when the transport driver pulls up to your neighborhood and you know exactly what's rolling off the back of his truck. Bid with confidence….the winning bidder will be the new owner of this car.
The car will be available for inspection during the auction. If you don't have time to arrange for inspection prior to the end of the auction, you can inspect the car after the auction ends. You can also travel to Louisville, Kentucky to see the car after the auction ends. If you're not satisfied with your purchase, you can pass on the car, and I'll return your down payment and re-list the corvette. Your travel expenses, however, are your own and I will not consider any reimbursement for your travel to see the car. Also, once you have it shipped to your location, it's yours to keep. The car has been represented accurately in this ad and not too many people are willing to give the above terms.
Call Paul. Cell is 502-648-4059 or 502-244-4400. Leave a message, if necessary, and I'll call back asap. You can email me at email@example.com. The car is located in Louisville, Kentucky and I will only accept cash at time of pickup, cashier's check, or certified check for payment. I have a clear title to the vehicle. This is a $ 150,000 to $ 200,000 corvette. I will need complete contact information and a $ 5,000 deposit within 4 business days of the end of the auction. You must contact me within 24 hours of auction end by phone to confirm your deposit, payment and inspection plans. This corvette is also advertised locally.

- Rapper Mac Miller died Friday of an apparent overdose.
- People started taking to his ex-girlfriend Ariana Grande's Instagram, blaming the singer for his death.
- Comments on Grande's Instagram were turned off.
- Fans came to her defense, telling others to stop.
Rapper Mac Miller died Friday of an apparent overdose at 26.
Shortly after the news broke, a flood of comments blaming ex Ariana Grande for his death started filling her Instagram feed.
It became so bad, comments on the singer's Instagram page have been disabled.
Many quickly came to Grande's defense telling people to stop blaming her for the death of her ex.
Miller and Grande dated for two years until May 2018.
Grande called her relationship with the rapper "toxic" on Twitter after their breakup. Grande was responding to a fan who questioned her new relationship with "Saturday Night Live" star Pete Davidson so soon after her breakup from Miller.
"How absurd that you minimize female self-respect and self-worth by saying someone should stay in a toxic relationship because he wrote an album about them, which btw isn't the case (just Cinderella is ab me)," Grande wrote in a long message posted to Twitter. "I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be."
"I have cared for him and tried to support his sobriety & prayed for his balance for years (and always will of course) but shaming/blaming women for a man's inability to keep his s-t together is a very major problem," Grande added, saying that she would continue to pray for Miller.
In July, during an interview with Beats 1, Miller said he was happy for Grande moving forward. He stressed he didn't feel negatively about his breakup with the singer.
"It's just a part of something that's gonna continue to help make me who I am," Miller said of his relationship with Grande. "It's all positive energy. I am happy for her moving forward with her life just as I'm sure she is with me."

The imperfect, unfinished and contradictory characterize the sculptural objects of Franz West, and the constant possibility of linking two very distant ideas, namely philosophy with fine irony.
The work was created in 2011 as an artistic seat, raised at two points exactly at the right height to sit down. The sculpture is on display in a private garden in the old town of Ortisei, there for passers-by to act as conscious spectators, maybe even to become involved in a veritable conversation. Communication and interaction with his artworks have always been leitmotivs of Franz West's artistic production, their culmination being a passionate exchange between the plastic form of the object and the individual human being.
With this work Franz West refers to the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, with whom he devoted himself intensively for many years. The work is titled with a tickle that Franz West found in one of Wittgenstein's notebooks, along with the philosopher's remark that under certain circumstances a seemingly arbitrary or nonsensical line could indeed be "in some important sense" a musical composition.

After completing the PHP portion of our nine-week outpatient program, guests move on to our intensive outpatient program. IOP is a six-week long program consisting of two, 3-week phases. The first phase involves three hours of group therapy per day, five days per week.
The second phase of IOP consists of three hours of group therapy per day, three days per week. Guests attend weekly individual therapy sessions, learn life skills, and participate in job readiness training. Job readiness training covers resume building, interview skills, and job placement. Through outpatient treatment, guests meet with their individual therapists once a week.
Royal Life Treatment
Holistic treatment in IOP includes group, individual, movement/activity, adventure, and equine therapies, as well as psychiatry with medication management. At Royal Life Centers, we incorporate only evidence-based treatments, highlighted in all areas of our programming. This includes individual and group therapy, trauma resolution, relapse prevention, psychotherapy, recreational opportunities, anger management, and 12 step meetings.
This comprehensive approach to treatment is designed to be collaborative and all-encompassing. Furthermore, it is meant to affect mental, physical, and spiritual change in the lives of guests. With this in mind, we believe that incorporating different therapies is how to find what works best for each guest.
Royal Life Centers makes guests a part of their own treatment. The reason being, we don't believe in the practice of placing guests in pre-determined, pre-scheduled groups. Instead, guests work closely with their primary therapist to develop an Individual Treatment Plan (ITP) that meets their unique needs. In addition, they will work with their case manager to learn about the community resources available to them.
Royal Life Values
Guests' comfort and care are always our priority, which is why guests reside at Royal Life Housing, our sober living community, through all phases of aftercare. Our in-house sober living staff is accessible at all hours, and our sober living homes feature luxurious living rooms, spacious bedrooms, walk-in closets, and plasma TVs with cable. We also provide transportation to 12 step meetings four times each day.
After completing our nine-week outpatient program, to be eligible to move on to our graduate housing, guests must have obtained a job with the help of our employment specialists. Our employment specialist staff members are facilitators at every stage of the job-finding process; they assist guests with everything from connecting them with potential opportunities to helping them prepare.
To learn more about our IOP, or any other Royal Life Centers programs, please reach out to our admissions staff at (877)-RECOVERY with any and all questions. Because We Care.

When I moved to Chicago, I wasn't expecting to be working in the incentives industry. I had never even HEARD of the incentives industry prior to my employment. It was my assumption that I would be in a large high-rise downtown slaving away for Leo Burnett or Digitas. God had other plans I reckon.
A large portion of what I do at Hinda is social media/community building. I've built it from the ground up there and am proud of the continually changing work of art that it is right now. One of the main components of our digital efforts and community building is blogging. The blog is set up to not only humanize our company but also prove our credibility of knowledge in the industry. Being how I had never heard of the industry prior to employment, I had my work cut out for me.
For the first several months, each blog was a miniature research paper for me. It took loads of reading industry blogs, article after article from Incentive Magazine, and reading countless whitepapers. At first glance, my advertising background didn't seem to align with my current line of employment. After a while, I learned otherwise.
Incentives aren't just about selling merchandise (like branded logos, pens, DVD players for highest performers etc). The most successful companies and people in the industry know how to motivate people. The goal of many incentive programs is to help people achieve goals, to take part in certain behaviors to ultimately help the company reach its overall goals. There are many different types of incentives but each are used in ways to help drive and modify behaviors.
Isn't that what marketing and advertising is?
We use different components in each (ad and incentives) but the main goal is the same: modifying behavior. We have to learn which types of things motivate people to take certain actions. In most advertising, we are trying to influence consumers to take part in certain behaviors. More often than not, we want those consumers to buy a certain product or service. Incentive programs do touch in on that space in the form of loyalty programs (you know...like credit card rewards programs and the like). However, many of them drive employees and workers to achieve more in their jobs, to modify their behaviors to achieve certain rewards.
Both industries are heavily dependent on knowing how to influence people. What drives them to do certain things, to take part in certain actions. Without my time in the incentives business, I wouldn't have had this multi-faceted view of marketing. It's a learning experience that will help me a lot in the future.
How have you used traditional advertising and marketing to influence people?

Today at the chef's kitchen table we are going to enjoy a Lemon and Dill Salmon with fresh Herb Salad. I want to make sure we are getting enough omega-3s in our diet and Salmon is packed with omega 3 fatty acids that serve double-duty for your body: They promote proper brain function and they're great for your hair and skin. If you need another reason to try this healthy, delicious recipe – it only takes about 25 minutes to get on the table!
I always prepare a couple extra salmon filets because we really enjoy the flavor and I can keep them in the refrigerator and enjoy them again in a day or so in a slightly different presentation.
Tip: Sauté the salmon for about 4 minutes on each side for medium, or up to 5 minutes on each side for well done. Total cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the filets.
- 1 T. extra virgin olive oil
- 4 6-oz. Alaskan wild-caught salmon filets
- Sea Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 3 c. mixed salad greens
- 1 c. cherry or grape tomatoes halved
- 1 medium English cucumber, peeled, cut in half and seeded
- 4-5 fresh dill sprigs, roughly chopped
- ¼ c. fresh mint leaves, chopped
- ¼ c. fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 T. Dijon mustard
- 2 T. extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 T. apple cider vinegar
- 1 fresh lemon or lime, cut into wedges
- For garnish:
- 1 fresh lemon or lime, cut into slices
- 2 sprigs fresh dill
- Preheat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Season the salmon with some salt and pepper on both sides and place skin-side down in the hot pan. Sear for 3 – 4 minutes before carefully flipping the filets. Cook for another 3-4 minutes before removing from heat.
- In the meantime, combine the mixed salad greens, tomatoes, cucumber, and fresh herbs in a large bowl and toss to combine. Set aside.
- To make the dressing, whisk the Dijon mustard, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar in a small glass bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
- To serve, season the salmon with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a few dill sprigs. Serve with herb salad and enjoy!
Always be sure to purchase wild caught Alaskan salmon. They cost a tad bit more but both the flavor and the Nutritional benefits are way above farm raised fish. And your health is our over all primary concern. Always treat your body to the best foods available in your budget.
Note that the Nutritional information is from HappyForks.com. Information can be slightly different depending on exact sized portions. Calories will vary depending on the fish, they are slightly different between King Salmon (Chinook) and Sockeye. And the omega 3s can also very from season to season.
We welcome your comments in the space below this article and will reply to each one.If you have not signed up for your copy of "Clean Eating – How and Why to cut out Processed Foods" please do so at the top right this article. I would love to have you join our family of Whole Food Enthusiasts..

What do you get with a Depfile premium account?
Depfile is a file hosting website which allows registered users to upload content for free, however there's also the option of a Depfile premium account which removes all restrictions.
Anyone can make use of Depfile to some degree without spending any money. Free, unregistered users do not have the ability to upload and store files, only download them (up to 1 GB in 1 days). Registered users are allowed to upload, store and easily share files up to 1 GB in size, but after 2 GB worth of downloading they cannot download again until 48 hours has past. There's also a 1 TB limit in place on storage space, as well as other restrictions. This means it's great for personal short-term storage and for sharing files with friends, but perhaps too limited to use for people who may require a high volume download usage to share files with many people.
With a premium account, all restrictions are either removed, or expanded on the point where they are practically non-existent, making the service very useful for commercial use when it comes to hosting files which are regularly downloaded. It also makes it incredibly useful for sharing large files with friends.
This is what you get with a Depfile premium account
Maximum files size for uploads : 10 GB.
Maximum storage space: Unlimited.
Download Volume: Unlimited.
Remote upload capability.
Download accelerator support.
Resumable downloads.
No delay when downloading (free users are subject to a 45 second wait time, registered users wait 30 seconds).
No captcha image needs to be entered before downloading.
No advertisements.
Uploaded files are deleted 60 days after the last download rather than 30 days for registered users.
What types of individual can make use of a premium account?
A Depfile.com premium account is useful for both heavy downloaders and Uploaders who need to share a lot of files. There's also the possibility of earning money as an Uploader for the number of times a file has been downloaded, so this might also be a source of income for some. Although, it's worth noting that copywrite or pornographic content is prohibited by the terms and conditions.
As for use by a business to store files, the 60 day lasts download deletion may make it impractical to store files for the long-term (unless you remember to periodically download the file) but it's very useful for businesses who need to share files that are too big for email or other files transfer methods. It's also incredibly useful for businesses that need to share large files regularly with customers (such as a software update), but don't have the capacity to do so with their own web host.
For personal use, it's great for sharing files with family and friends. High quality video and sound files can easily be too large to share by other means. For example; if you were to film a concert using a good mic and a camera, the combined .wav files and video files could easily be in excess of the most online sharing and storage website's limits. With a Depfile premium account, you would easily be able to share large files such as this between your circle of friends and family. In conclusion, it's well worth getting a Depfile premium account if you already enjoy using the service and you want the extra capability.
