Hello and welcome to my website, my name is Ray Vlcek. In case you were wondering, I pronounce my vowel deficient last name "Vel-check". When my career as an artist was still in its infancy, during a gallery opening, a father and son approached me, pronouncing my last name as if the v l c was one fluid sound. To this day I have yet to reproduce his pronunciation. The father pointed at my name in sticky vinyl letters on the glass wall of the gallery and asked if I was the artist. I told him that I was. At the time, I was studying art at Northern Illinois University, and this was my senior show. The man began to get very excited as he spoke of how pleased they were to see my name prominently displayed. He then went on to tell me that he and his son were visiting the campus from Czechoslovakia and in Czechoslovakian, Vlcek translates to mean "little wolf".
I am a native Chicagoan born and raised on the southwest side of Chicago under the flight path of the planes heading in and out of Midway airport. Currently, I reside on the near north side in the neighborhood of Ukrainian Village, where it is much quieter.
Art in one form or another has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Some of my earliest childhood memories are of the Art Institute of Chicago and the sculptures tucked in the courtyards of the buildings downtown. I remember one morning, when I was five or six, walking with my mother along one of the canyon like streets of downtown Chicago, she points down into a sunken plaza at a man sticking little tiles onto a long wall. She says to me mater of factly, "That man is Marc Chagall." No further explanation was given as to who Chagall was or what he was doing. It was just assumed that I already knew who he was and his significance. A couple of decades later, I came across the Four Seasons wall by Chagall and remembered that moment.
I cannot imagine life without art. I have been creating art in one form or another for my entire life. To me art is a lifestyle. I am currently working in oils and watercolor. I have become addicted to en plein air painting. The phrase en plein air was borrowed from the French and translates to "in the open air". I find that the practice of painting landscapes and urban-scapes outside is a much richer experience when compared to being cloistered full-time in the confines of the studio working from photo references. While painting in the open air presents its own set of unique challenges, to me, the advantages far out way them. All of my senses become engaged when I am out painting. The sound of the waves crashing over the rocks or the traffic in the street. The smell of the water or the dumpster that I may be standing next to. The feel of the wind cooling me from the heat of the sun or drops of rain dripping off my rain suit and soaking through my shoes. Then there is the view, finding that perfect spot to set up and paint a scene is a reward in itself. The hardest element to deal with while painting en plein air is the constantly changing light as the sun creeps slowly across the sky. All of these elements make an impression on me while I am painting outdoors and I feel that they somehow find their way into each painting.
On most weekends I can be found painting somewhere out in the city. I often go out with the group, Plein Air Painters of Chicago or with the Urban Sketchers of Chicago. When I stumbled across this group of outdoor painters, it was as if I found my peeps. To put it another way, the little wolf inside of me found his pack.
If you see me out there, stop by and say hello.

The Lovely List
Hello and happy Sunday! I hope you've had a great weekend so far, mine has been lovely. Friday night was spent with family eating and drinking al-fresco and enjoying the warmth of the summer sun that has lingered most days this week. Saturday was even more glorious weather-wise and Mr CC and I tackled the complete and utter mess that our garden has become after a few (busy) weeks of neglect, and I feel so much better now it's getting sorted. By far the most exciting part of the weekend, though, has been booking a few days away to the Lake District next month. And we're staying in a tipi right next to a lake. A tipi!
But enough of my holiday plans, let's that a look at what's been floating-my-boat in the blog world this week...
First up is an intriguing and original post on food memories (notably strawberry jam) from the wonderful Sarah over at Mitenska - her blog is full of beautiful images and her writing style is so easy to enjoy that I urge you to check it out if you haven't already.
If the heat's getting to you, why not try some violet fizz with floral ice cubes?
Roses. Just because.
Somewhere new to add to my 'places to visit' list.
Lots of reading inspiration over at Circle of Pine Trees, including a life in France, a classic that I think I'm going to re-read soon and my own offering.
Finally, how are you doing with your summer wishlists? I'm planning to work on number 10 from mine this week.
Enjoy your Sundays!

A bit of a straw poll about Australian drivers
Do you think that the trend of reduced numbers of younger people getting a drivers licence also applies in Australia?
Can you think of any reason why younger people don't get a drivers licence:
1. They live in the city or very near to work
2. They live near to very good transport links
3. They don't want to travel to areas without said transport links
4. They find driving boring – especially as they can't watch/use their phone
5. They are concerned about the environment – so prefer to use public transport and/or walk/cycle
6. Parking is too expensive a cost for where they live
7. No car then no drink driving
I see the opportunities for driverless cars if #4 and #7 are the issues. Otherwise it would suggest that getting a drivers licence which used to be a right of passage into adulthood (and that my 12/13yo daughter is counting down the days to get) is a trend coming to an end
What do you think?

Good Saturday,
Hurricane Harvey made landfall Friday night around 830 PM as a Category 4. The last time a Category 4 made a USA landfall was August 13, 2004 in Cayo Costa, FL. That was hurricane Charley.
Before we get into the Kansas City weekend forecast let's talk tropical weather. Hurricane season runs from June 1st to November 30th. The peak is around the second week of September.
Here is a list of the names for this season in the Atlantic basin. Did you know if there is a tropical system after the last name is used they turn to the Greek alphabet? So, after Whitney comes Alpha.
These are the tracks so far this season in the Atlantic. Arlene formed in April and is the circle path in the middle of the Atlantic. Arlene was mostly subtropical. This season, so far, most of the tropical systems have originated west of Africa.
Now, let's focus on Harvey. Saturday morning Harvey was southwest of Victoria, TX and it has lost it's eye on the satellite. It had been on land for about 12 hours at the point of this picture. Once these tropical systems are removed from the warm waters and more friction-less surface of large bodies of water, they rapidly weaken. Now, that being said, bands of torrential rain can remain for days.
The main problem with Harvey is that it is going to barely move the next 5-7 days and the bands of rain will be incessant over southeast Texas.
Here is the powercast for Saturday afternoon. You can see it is still west of Victoria, TX.
Now, look at the powercast for Thursday. This is crazy as in five days, Harvey will still be west of San Antonio. So, the next 5 days it is going to meander around southeast Texas and the bands of rain will be ongoing for days, creating a major flood event.
This is the total rainfall forecast between Saturday and Thursday. This is incredible for two reasons. It is not just the 20″ to 40″ amounts, but the amount of territory this covers. It is a 230 mile wide area where this amount of rain will occur. Remember, in KC last Monday-Tuesday we saw 6″-10″ of rain in a much smaller area and you know what that created. So, a major mess is likely this week.
Now. let's get to the KC forecast. While southeast Texas receives 20″ to 40″ of rain, we may see .25″ to 1″, with some locations seeing 2″ of rain. This is the rainfall forecast through Thursday and it all occurs on Sunday. The heaviest amounts look to be west of KC, but this could change and shift farther east.
SATURDAY: This is going to be a great day to hang out at the pool as these days are numbered. Highs today will be 80°-85° with a partly to mostly sunny sky and light south breeze.
SUNDAY MORNING: We will see clouds increasing with the chance for a few showers, but the main rain chance arrives during the afternoon. Temperatures will be in the 60s to low 70s.
SUNDAY (11 AM to 2 PM): We will be tracking a more organized area of thunderstorms coming in from the northwest.
SUNDAY (2 PM TO 8 PM): At this time, this appears to be the best chance of thunderstorms in KC. We do not expect much, if any, severe weather, but we could see some very heavy downpours. Also, this does not look like one of those huge flooding events as it will move on after 8 PM.
The rain tomorrow is the only chance the next seven days, and we are looking at dry and comfortable weather next week. Highs will be in the 70s and 80s with lows in the 50s and 60s.
Have a great weekend,
Jeff Penner

After a hiatus that had me worried that these guys would be the new Avalanches, the Presets have returned with their third full length LP, Pacifica, an album that unites all the things we previously loved about these Aussie stalwarts of dance music while at the same time entering a new sonic dimension.
The boys from Sydney have certainly done their research for the past four years. While previous albums from these electronic juggernauts have been filled to the brim with that recognisable Australian tinge, this record does depart from that in some respects, creating a more internationally friendly sound, combining elements of European electronic dance music with their own signature style.
You can hear all of this from the distinctive yell of front man Julian Hamilton on the opening track "Youth in Trouble". The song starts out with a simple bass riff that builds and swells until it explodes into a downtempo dance drop. The song continues in a similar manner for the entirety of its six minutes. The absence of complex vocal melodies is refreshing in the contemporary dance scene.
In typical style the Presets completely backflip on what I just said on the following track, the single "Ghosts". The track is driven by its vocal melody and is a certainly a stronger than a lot of other pop releases from this year. It's certain to go right to the top of Triple J's Hottest 100.
"Promises" is a disco track at heart that wouldn't be out of place on the Scissor Sisters' latest release. "Push" is as close as the boys get to a techno track and is probably the weakest track on the album. Lyrically, it's a shameless club anthem about partying. Whilst it's certainly in the top tier of its genre, it's not particularly challenging in any musical respect.
The album doesn't let up as it hits the halfway mark. From "Fall" to "It's Cool", the listener-friendly dance beats keep pumping. It's refreshing that the duo don't feel the need to throw in a slow track amongst the high-intensity dance anthems, instead continuing to pump out what they're good at.
"A.O." is an 80% rad track with a hook that will go off at any live gig they play. The reason it's only 80% rad, though, is that it feels somewhat disjointed. The band really could have ended up with a "Barbara Streisand"-esque track with this one, but they neglected the defining trill of the track.
Depending on who you talk to this would be good or bad. For me, while I appreciate what they did in creating a more complex feel in what could have been a gimmicky track, I also feel like they're in a genre where gimmicky is okay and they shouldn't be afraid to embrace it.
The album draws to a close with "Fail Epic". It may sound cruel, but the title should be flipped. The track doesn't achieve what it needed to. Rather, it takes the album into a perpetual state of down tempo drabness, when it needed to lift and bring the album to the end with a bang.
It's quite interesting how the track listing of an album can affect the listening experience. If the Presets had put "Fail Epic" after "It's Cool", as opposed to closing the album with it, it would have been much more effective. For me, the real record closer is "Fast Seconds", which does everything you want a closer to do. It builds a continuous swell of dance beats for the first 4 minutes until it finally comes to its pinnacle.
To call this album a disappointment isn't fair at all. It's an apt follow up to Apocalypso in every respect. I'd say I was very impressed by the musicianship on display throughout the record. But it didn't feel complete. The band have a knack of encapsulating the concept of the titles of their records within the tracks. Beams was the future of electronic dance and Apocalypso was the bridge between the menacing and the bright and colourful. Pacifica doesn't really capture its title, it feels as though the duo have gotten bored in the production of this album and crafted a record which does show prowess, where as The duo have proven that they know their craft and when they tour the tracks on this album, we'll see just how well that four-year wait paid off.

Recorded music, internet
Spotify's Daniel Ek has responded to Taylor Swift and other critics in a lengthy blog post reigniting the debate prompted by Swift pulling her catalogue from free (freemium) streaming services. Ek begins by saying
"Taylor Swift is absolutely right" (referring to remarks the singer made in a Wall Street Journal and Yahoo interview) adding "Music is art, art has real value, and artists deserve to be paid for it. We started Spotify because we love music and piracy was killing it. So all the talk swirling around lately about how Spotify is making money on the backs of artists upsets me big time". Ek then detailed how the Spotify payment model works and revealed that Spotify has now paid out $2 billion to the music industry since launching in 2008, $1 billion of that in the last year and that Spotify now has 50 million active users, 12.5 million of whom are paying subscribers – an increase of ten million and 2.5 million respectively since the last lot of official figures released back in May of this year. However Ek somewhat failed to address why a relatively small share of these streaming royalties are shared out to artists once the money has left Spotify's bank account, not least as the labels who seem to be keeping the lions share of streaming revenues are key partners in his business, both as content providers and shareholders.
Ek says "The music industry is changing – and we're proud of our part in that change – but lots of problems that have plagued the industry since its inception continue to exist" ading "As I said, we've already paid more than $2 billion in royalties to the music industry and if that money is not flowing to the creative community in a timely and transparent way, that's a big problem. We will do anything we can to work with the industry to increase transparency, improve speed of payments, and give artists the opportunity to promote themselves and connect with fans – that's our responsibility as a leader in this industry; and it's the right thing to do".
Swift and her label Big Machine has pulled the singer's entire catalogue off Spotify (and others) seemingly because of those platform's freemium tier, which allows users to access music without direct payment. "If this fan went and purchased the record, CD, iTunes, wherever, and then their friends go, 'Why did you pay for it? It's free on Spotify', we're being completely disrespectful to that superfan who wants to invest", said Big Machine's Scott Borchetta last week.
Ek points out that, while consumers can access music at this level for free, the artist does still earn a royalty from each play their music receives a stream and compared that to terrestrial US radio station where labels and recording artists earn nothing for a play (although songwriter earns a royalty from American radio.). In other countries such as the UK both PPL (for labels and recording artists) and PRS (music publishers and songwriters) collect from radio stations. Undeterred Ek continues "Here's the overwhelming, undeniable, inescapable bottom line: the vast majority of music listening is unpaid", noting that Spotify's main competitors are radio, YouTube and piracy. "If we want to drive people to pay for music, we have to compete with free to get their attention in the first place". Spotify's free tier is vital to driving people to pay, he continues, saying: "More than 80% of our subscribers started as free users. If you take away only one thing, it should be this: No free, no paid, no $2 billion" – not least with a 14% global decline in download sales so far in 2014.
Ek also looks as Swift as a case study: "At our current size, payouts for a top artist like Taylor Swift (before she pulled her catalogue) are on track to exceed $6 million a year, and that's only growing – we expect that number to double again in a year". Ek added "People's listening habits have changed – and they're not going to change back" and "[Swift's] songs are all over services and sites like YouTube and SoundCloud, where people can listen all they want for free. To say nothing of the fans who will just turn back to pirate services like Grooveshark" (the 'pirate' label was subsequently objected to by Grooveshark) before concluding "The more we grow, the more we'll pay you", adding: "We're going to be transparent about it all the way through".
The UK's Music Managers Forum followed this by issuing a statement saying that the organisation is a "big supporter of streaming services", and suggesting Taylor Swift and her label are taking a short-sightedness for pulling her content from Spotify, although the MMF also hit out ar Non Disclosure Agreements that hide the deals between streaming services and the major labels. "Few markets are perfect and yes the 'low rate issue' has conflicted many, but above all, streaming services are a fabulous tool that connects artists and creators with fans", the statement reads. "No longer restricted by physical barriers, streaming gives a voice to those that want to be heard and a platform from which to build multi-revenue businesses that cross borders. There are no guarantees of success but the opportunity is there for all that want to give it a shot". Finally, the statement concludes: "Non Disclosure Agreements hide how the major music corporations license streaming services and we have grave concerns that the deals contain stipulations that both significantly reduce the amount artists ultimately get attributed and damage the growth of the streaming economy. The real fight is more likely between opacity and transparency, and we call on all major music corporations to take note and react in the best interest of their artists and shareholders".

Nelson Mandela's former Houghton residence will be turned into the Mandela Presidential Centre in late 2019.
The house will be transformed into a one-of-a-kind experience for travellers who wish to take a reflective walk in the struggle icon's shoes, it was revealed at the official launch today.
The Nelson Mandela Foundation (NMF), which owns the property, has partnered with Thebe Property Asset Management (TPAM) and Thebe Tourism Group (TTG) to revivify this iconic and quaint venue as a multi-purpose facility. It will support scholarship and deep reflection at the same time as providing a unique experience for travellers and other visitors.
Sello Hatang, CEO of the Nelson Mandela Foundation, said they have marked the inauguration of the property refurbishment project in line with the former president's centenary on July 18.
"Nelson Mandela was a traveller in his later life, who made a difference in the lives of those he met and those he travelled with. He had an impact on the places he touched and left a part of his beloved land wherever he went. May we continue to be the travellers who make a difference," he said.
Jerry Mabena, CEO of Thebe Tourism Group, said the project will not only form part of some of the great tourism treasures in the world but would also be a place, where leaders tasked with taking the world forward could draw inspiration from the values and principles from a man that not only changed South Africa but the rest of the world.
"We not only honour Nelson Mandela as the founder of the democratic state of SA, we also see this project as a reminder and tribute to ourselves that President Mandela is also one of Thebe's founding fathers as an organisation. We, therefore, work to preserve his memory, values and principles. We are extremely excited at taking on a truly unique project with such an iconic status," said Mabena.
The project's professional team, led by TPAM also includes Maru Spaces Architects; Kim h Interiors; Aurecon and MWV Engineers; GD Irons Construction; Kiwango Quantity Surveyors and Upper Level Town Planning. Khensani Heritage Consulting will be managing the preservation of Madiba's heritage on the site.
Post construction, Thebe Tourism Group have teamed up with an award-winning black-owned hotel operator, Miarestate, to operate The Mandela Presidential Centre.

Fire Prevention information…..be prepared for emergencies.
Fire Prevention week October 7-13
Look for places fires can start. Take a good look around your home. Identify potential fire hazards and take care of them.
Listen for the sound of the smoke alarm. You could have only minutes to escape safely once the smoke alarm sounds. Go to your outside meeting place, which should be a safe distance from the home and where everyone should know to meet.
Learn two ways out of every room and make sure all doors and windows leading outside open easily and are free of clutter.
Home fires burn fast, you have just minutes to escape once your smoke alarm sounds.
Use that time wisely by planning and practicing.
"Look. Listen. Learn. Be aware. Fire can happen anywhere™,"
Chelan Fire and Rescue is teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association to promote Fire Prevention Week. Keep your family safe!

With this Grenache Shiraz blend we set out to take advantage of the great vintage 2017 fruit to make an easier drinking wine with shorter oak aging, Cotes du Rhone Style. While we expected the delicate elegance of the wine, the concentration actually surprised us and this wine has evolved into a more typical Heathcote II which will keep very well.
The colour is a vibrant purple, the notes are sour cherries but with a sweet undertone, almost caramel. As it opens in the glass, the wine turns more savoury with darker fruit on the nose and spices in the palate.

On FOX News, Social Security Is For Slacker Seniors
Reported by Ellen - April 29, 2005
FOXNews.com reports that President Bush was "back on the stump" today in his "campaign to reform the nation's retirement system" (which some say is a campaign to wreck the nation's retirement system). As always, FOX News was there to cheer Bush on and bash Democrats. But this time, the "real journalism, fair and balanced" network added a swipe at seniors who like Social Security the way it is.
Likening Social Security recipients to welfare queens, reporter Jane Roh wrote on FOXNews.com, "Bush's proposals are confronting stiff opposition from Democrats who fear his true agenda is to wean workers off government assistance in retirement, which they say could leave many at risk of falling into poverty."
Excuse me? Since when is Social Security "government assistance?" And don't you just love the use of the word "wean," implying that seniors need to grow up and learn to be more independent?

Incidentally, when Hitler's Mein Kampf is translated into English, his evolutionary word is often rendered "development" to disguise his evolutionary thinking. He was an evolutionist to the core. Jesus said that we would know them by their fruits. Hitler's evolutionary fruit was rotten. He wrote in that book, "The stronger must dominate and not blend with the weaker, thus sacrificing his own greatness. Only the born weakling can view this as cruel, but he after all is only a weak and limited man; for if this law did not prevail, any conceivable higher development (Hoherentwicklung) of organic living beings would be unthinkable."

Student Zones, Los Angeles Public Library
Student Zones, Los Angeles Public Library
CG+A completes a series of dedicated spaces, "Student Zones" for teens and children within 10 branches of the Los Angeles Public Library.
Funded by The Library Foundation of Los Angeles, "Student Zones" provide furniture, computers and trained personnel to aid students academically after school. The project included creating the spatial concept, architectural elements, environmental graphics, and furniture.
Cory Grosser says "Designing the Student Zones was a unique opportunity to introduce students of all socio-economic groups to design at a relatively young age. We branded the student zone areas "The Quad" - a play on the quadrangle common on college campuses and the quadrilateral or four-sided polygon. The design premise was simple - more students will participate in the Student Zone program if the students feel that it's a cool place to be."
Since the budget for the 10 branches was tight, the studio created a "kit of parts" whereby each branch was given the same items, but they were arranged in different ways depending on the context of each branch. Working with Library staff, CGDS determined the best location for the student zones and then used computer modeling to develop different configurations. Each kit included two architectural frames, a rug, signage, a large table with six chairs, a laptop bar with three stools, two sofas, ottomans, a pull-up table, and a lounge chair. Some of the furniture was custom designed for the space including the tables and the sofas. The furniture is based on the studio's current research into workplace design. For example, work does not only happen while sitting down typing at a desk. The "Quad" accommodates various postures from lying down on the rug to standing beside the laptop bar. Homework is not always about writing a term paper, but it's also about collaborating with your friends or snuggling up to read a good book. The Quad facilitates all of this and leverages design for a greater educational good.

Darkness revealed in place so deep,
that mankind would so daring open keep
the secret closed to the searching eye
the gift, the chalice lifted high
some drank to live, some drank to die.
The Chronicles of Lilith; Book One; Lines 1-5
"The Entrance Way of the Dead"
Tuesday March 4, 1997---12:15AM
Corporate Executive Offices, South Central Auto Insurance Company
Madison, Nevada
When it comes to shock and awe, Nature prefers to use the unexpected as a vehicle for the most violent acts: those which end life. When it comes to violent acts committed by individuals, the most horrific tend to be committed by those whom others feel would never attempt such a deed, and many of these go unsolved for that very reason.
Following the revelation that a nondescript individual has been discovered as being an actor in a brutal crime, friends and neighbors of the human killer generally look surprised while being interviewed by television reporters for it tends to be those regarded as least likely of all the people they know who would ever be capable of a most heinous act; and, then, the questions roll in as to what system could ever be developed to identify such persons prior to their destructive acts taking place. In like fashion, weather forecasters look at computer models wondering why the systems failed to alert operators of violent weather before it occurred or why it failed to promptly alert changing directions allowing corrective actions to be taken.
And so it was that a "no-name storm" came without prior signals. It encircled Madison like a white tiger, its tail twitching, eyes gleaming, slamming down a paw here and there enjoying the confusion and terror it was causing to those who lived within its path. Relentlessly, it stalked the city much like the killer did who moved quietly on the office building's stairway, preferring to climb up sixteen floors over using the elevator which, for some, is too confining and frightening to ride. The costumed figure was not concerned about time, only completion of a well thought out act, the death of a hated man whose office came closer at each upward step.
David Evnowith leaned back in his leather-surfaced-executive chair and watched his vice president, Tom Donovan, disappear out his office door and down the hall to get a carafe of fresh coffee. The liquid in David's fine china cup was cold, but he raised it anyway and took a hopeful sip. Nevertheless, no sooner had his mouth been filled with the chilled fluid than he wrinkled his nose and crushed his lips together in disgust over the flat, slimy taste.
Those close to him knew he liked his coffee to be "——hot like a good woman, robust, and without cream, please——" he would often jokingly say. And that was true of both. The more robust and the hotter the better.
What made matters even worse than the coffee being cold, in this case, was his detecting a piece of coffee ground left stuck to the surface of his tongue. He turned in his chair, the leather creaking in complaint, and spit the unwanted sliver into the air in the general direction of his desk waste can. He sat forward and was in the process of placing the cup back on the waiting saucer when what sounded like the sharp crack of a pistol shot broke over the howl of the winter storm assaulting the city.
David's body reacted with a jerk. The thin-porcelain cup slipped from his fingers. It shattered upon striking the ornately inlaid Cherry wood desktop, spilling out its contents over the pile of papers strewn before him. What did not soak into the papers found its way in tiny rivulets to the desk's edge where it dripped off onto the carpeted floor. "Christ," David shouted, "what the hell?" He looked up from the spattered mess to the doorway expecting Tom to be standing there with a sheepish grin and a lame apology for causing him to spill coffee all over his desk. However, Tom was not there.
And, instead of hearing any reply at all from Tom, David's skin prickled at the ominous, thick silence which answered his exclamation of surprise. He frowned and pursed his lips——waiting. Even the wind, which had been tearing at the building amid mournful enraged-banshee shrieks, had paused in its assault, as if it too had been startled and needed a moment to collect itself before resuming its howling attack.
David pushed his chair back and glanced over his clothing checking to see if any of the coffee had spattered him as well. He looked up at the papers and shook his head at the mess and was grateful for Tom having the foresight to have photocopied the original documents regarding a merger between their company and another making them safe from such an event as this. The two men had been carefully reviewing extensive and complex reports concerning a pending merger with a company on the brink of bankruptcy up until Tom brought up the time of night and the need to get home to their families.
They had been at it for hours and were the last two people left in the building to David's knowledge, and both were in need of rest.
The President of South Central Auto Insurers had caught himself several times slipping off into sleep while reading at his desk. David's day began before dawn when he attended a breakfast conference held by Nevada State Insurance Officials who wished to address the growing problem of insurance company insolvencies. Even though it was not stated as being mandatory that he and other company CEOs be present, David knew the game well enough to understand that his being present would be beneficial for his company——and, who knew, perhaps useful for his own needs at some point in time. Nevertheless, the subject matter, insurer insolvency, was nothing to worry about where his company was concerned. It had accumulated a treasure trove over the years and was envied by its peers, loved by its shareholders, and respected by State officials who, several of which, from time to time, were quietly granted use of one of the corporate airplanes for personal pleasures. All that resulted from his attendance that morning was his downing too much coffee in order to stay awake.
Returning to his offices, he was confronted with several in-house corporate meetings which followed one another as would a string of railroad cars being pulled uphill by a relentless and powerful diesel engine made up of his pair of administrative assistants who were more than qualified for the job but (fortunately for them) sexually unappealing to David. Each meeting was beyond being dull and he could have easily dozed off except for the "damn" coffee——not to mention the hovering admin assistants that saw to his every need and who brought——yes, more coffee.
He hungered for a time to nap, wishing to be lulled by the howling snowstorm into a much needed restful mental oblivion. However, a quick glance at the day's appointment calendar revealed the corporate weather would remain unchanged from that of numerous prior such days: busy, with a continuous shower of mind-numbing, sprinkled with an occasional thunderclap of tension reducing angry outburst amid mostly a steady, unrelenting downpour of mind-numbing while his well-organized team of supportive associates refused to let up. That was their job, and they were good at it.
After a while he began to grow irritable, a sure sign he needed food and rest, and by the time noon arrived it brought with it a much needed break in the structured day for both him and his aides who, themselves, had begun showing evidence of having their claws out. A clash between David and his administrative assistants was not uncommon and when it did take place it generally sent people running for cover.
And so, when noon arrived, the three smiled icily at one another as the two women helped him slip into his overcoat, handed him his hat, and pushed him out the door and into a waiting car for the short trip up one block and over one to the Marquee Hotel where he met with other business leaders for a traditional "once-a-week, cookie-cutter luncheon" with came with a choice of roast beef, breast of chicken, ham or chicken salad plate. Each entrée would be served with a side of peas or corn, perhaps the choice of mashed, fries, or baked potato, small dinner salad with choice of House, Ranch, or French dressing, bowls with butter in tiny cups for the small warm rolls wrapped up in a cloth and stuffed in a serving basket, four or five different flavors of coffee creamer, four types of sweetener, a traditional glass of water with twist of lemon, cup of coffee for some and tea for others who, David felt, were trying to make a point about something that neither they nor the others present could artfully and properly articulate. Following all this came the deadly, fattening little brownie at the end which David happily devoured.
The chewy, chocolate, gooey glob that his wife's dietician had more than once told him might cause him to gain weight, increase his blood pressure, bring on diabetes, and, God forbid, he might even cause him to have a stroke and die. In defiance, David always asked of the others sitting at his table if anyone was not going to eat their brownies could they please pass them to him. And, so, David went fully expecting to be completely bored by some "expert" giving his or her opinion on a subject that David did not have the slightest interest in.
Nevertheless, David learned through the years that being bored at some events was simply part of the game and to keep his eyes and ears open for possibilities which might suddenly arise. So, he sat and politely smiled and nodded to the others there and joined in some small, short conversations with boiler plate comments such as: "oh?", "really?", "well, I think I'll have to read up on that". and, of course, his favorite was simply a thoughtful "hmmmm".
So, David went to the Marquee Hotel resolute to survive yet another business luncheon, one of many in his career. He fully expected to be painfully bored with the guest speaker's remarks over their concerns of an impending economic downturn; however, David was well versed in being able to put up a false front and act opposite of his true feeling, And, as he sat staring at the chicken salad plate placed before him, while toying with his fork, David's mind drifted, as it always did, to the work waiting for him back at his office until a movement near the entrance to the kitchen interrupted his thoughts. Looking up, he brightened upon spotting a young waitress he was well acquainted with approaching his table with a carafe of fresh coffee.
"Miss," he cheerfully called to her, sitting upright in his chair. "Miss? I'll have cup, thank you."

Date: March 11, 2011
Seth and Kyle meet up again.. They are becoming fast friends, that seem to share a common ground. In more ways then just their Ironic shared last names.
"Hotdogs, Fountains and Dreams oh my"
Central Park
Central Park.. It's well past the lunch hour, the kids aren't out of school yet just a few random babysitters and their underaged charges here and there, playing on the playground. Visiting the fountains, the hot dog vendors and the like. One perticular individual is at a hotdog vendor ordering a footlong. Which of course is rather awkward in his small hands, and odd against his equally small body. Kyle pays the vendor, and carries his recycled disposable paperboard tray consisting of a hotdog and a soda over near a fountain. The edge is wide enough for sitting, and setting the tray on, safely. Which he does. A little tranquiliy in an otherwise, crazy, mad city. Full of people that barely see each other, much less a man like Kyle. It's a warm enough day, that the fountain is going, splashing water into the basin..
How odd, Seth has decided to take the day away from the college campus to visit the scenery of the New York park. He has been settled on the fountain near where Kyle settles his own presence for meal time. Though unlike the smaller man, Seth is engrossed in what looks to be a copy of Activating Evolution. To most this wouldn't really be any sign, though to the very few. This is a red flag that Seth might not just picked up the book randomly out of the science fiction section. By the look of the condition of the book, Seth has read this book countless time! When you meet people, even by chance, one never really expects to see someone in a city this size, more then once.
Though a few days have passed, since their last meeting, and havingmet several people since, Kyle seems to recognize the figure further down the fountain's ledge. Though, for the life of him, Kyle's not sure he remembers the guy's name, other then the uncanny coincidence that they share he same last name. He remembers the card and digs for his wallet, to look at the exact name. "Hey there Seth." tucking the card away, and the wallet back in his pocket. He's wearing his typical clothing, a black t-shirt, depicting a band of some sort 'today it's Metalica'. A jacket over that, jeans and sneakers. That look like they might fit an eight year old boy, or younger. At least they aren't overly juvenile. They don't blink, like kids shoes these days tend to do. "I was gonna call, soon as payday rolls around again, for that party." he takes a drink of his soda, as he watches the guy. A sligh breeze blows his hair about a bit. Sending a mist of water from the fountain, causing the little guy to "Eep" a bit. But he's not upset at getting a little wet, it was just cold.
This is a very vast city, so one never expects to see the same person twice. Unless of course fate brings you together for some higher purpose. It's not clear if this is the case, though Kyle and Seth meeting up again in such a time-frame is quite odd. It's only when Kyle greets him that Seth closes the book partly before looking over toward Kyle's voice. "Oh hey there." He then smiles as he seems to remember. "Oh right, you're the man I met at the local coffee shop! Yes, we do need to go out sometime." He then chuckles at the little man's 'eep' sound. "Yeah, not exactly the smartest thing to do these days. Sitting on a fountain like this…"
Seth is attired with his typical casual Friday outfit. A black t-shirt with a black zip-up hoodie, dark blue jeans, and what look to be slightly trendy looking Puma shoes. He's certainly not the latest fashion, though it looks nice enough. His hair however is quite messy as though he showered and then ran his hands through his hair before venturing out.
One can't argue with that comment, Kyle just nods and grins. "Yeah, really, but it's peaceful, not jostled around so much by the mobs on the sidewalks. Now, as long as I'm not sat on, that will make the day better." Apparently that's happened to him before. He takes a bite of the hotdog, that's loaded with a bunch of stuff.. chews and swallows.
Reaching for his napkin, because there is just no way to eat a loaded hotdog, without wearing it. No matter who you are. He glances at the book, "Not exactly light reading is it?" he grins. He's not worried, wether or not he really comprehends the title, or not. "Rather interesting subject, actually." Not that he's read it, but he knows what Evolution means, anyway. "Don't mean to be nosey, but I like reading.. and possibly learn something from it. Though I read other stuff too."
"That is quite true, there's a lot more space to move around the park typically." Seth says with a happy nod. "Oh, yeah. I'm sure being sat on is the last thing on your things to do today." He then looks down at his book removing his hands from the pages closing it before covering the cover with his hand after setting it on top of his own lap. "Yeah, not the lightest reading for sure." He then looks interested as Kyle says it's an interesting topic. "Really? You find it interested? I've come to find it to be quite compelling myself." He then shakes his head grinning a little as the man doesn't seem to question him too further. Though this pressure was enough, as a nearby abandoned soda can loudly implodes without much cause near both Kyle and Seth. Which somehow brings a panic struck look upon Seth's face as he watches it happen.
Shrugging a bit, "Well, wasn't there a man who said that we evolved from apes? Evolution, kind of an interesting topic." Kyle responds. Though he can see the man is uncomforable with the topic, so he doesn't press further. About to change the topic, when the soda can implodes, causing the little man to jump, almost into the fountain. He's a bit jumpy today, but one of the sections of town he passed through, to get here, there was some shots fired. He didn't see where, or whom they were fired at.. or who did it for that matter, but it was just enough to make him all jumpy. "Well that was strange.." he idely comments.. smirking a bit.. "Not even hot enough for that." he just shrugs it off as coincidence.. Remembering the subject Seth studied, "You ever have a dream, where you felt lighter then what you actually are, like you were so light that you were floating in the air?" he asks, randomly. "So vivid, that it almost seemed real, even after you wake up?"
With that same shocked face, Seth looks at Kyle seeming to be distracted for now. Seeing the man tipping toward the fountain he seems to concentrate at the back of Kyle for a moment before looking back after it's certainly the little man isn't falling into the cold water. "Yeah, that was strange… right?" He then looks back at the crushed can seeming to start breathing deeply before saying, "Yeah… must have been a fluke or some street preformer must have left it behind…" He then looks oddly at Kyle tilting his head before nodding slowly. "All the time! I have that dream constantly…" He looks shocked that Kyle knows this, though with Seth moving slightly closer to the smaller man, it's apparent that Seth doesn't want the whole park to hear. "Do you have those dreams too?"
"Yeah probably. Sorry I was so jumpy, passed too close to Avenue B on the way. Guns, not sure who or whom, but got me a bit jumpy. Prolly a drug bust that went further then they hoped, or something." he shrugs it off either way. At the dream topic, he nods. "Yeah, I get them a lot. And I don't even use drugs, and I wasn't drinking the night before." he lowers his voice, since the guy seems to want to keep it hushed. "It freaks me out sometimes. It's like I'm flying right over the city, I don't fall or anything.. I rarely remember dreams, but those I remember so vividly. I started writing them down, when I wake up from them. Date and all.. that I had them. Some people say, dreams like that have meanings. I'm almost wondering if they are trying to tell me something. Not wanting to talk to a shrink about it though, or one of them Psychics for that matter. But it just seems, odd to me. I wonder if the Public Library or the University Library have anything on it." In other words, he wans to find out, what, or something.. but it's enough of an annoyance possibly, to him, that he's decided to talk to Seth about it.
Seth slowly nods as he seems intent on listening to the rest of what Kyle has to say. "Yeah… drug bust." Seth says, absent-mindedly. Seth then looks extremely excited as Kyle claims he's had dreams too. "Well if you're having those dreams, it probably does mean something. I mean the sciences of Sociology and Psychology have done some light research in connecting dreams with the sub-conscious. So it wouldn't be that odd for there to be a connected meaning with what's going on in your life and the dreams." He then looks around before practically whispering so Kyle would be the only one to hear. "I could lend you this book… it explains some pretty interesting things. It's helped me in my… process." He holds the book out in his left hand offering it to the other man, though something odd is about it. It somehow looks like it's floating in Seth's hand! No, can't be… or could it?!
Looking at the book, then nods, "Ahh, thanks." yeah, Kyle sees it, but he works at Coney Island, seen a few 'magic' tricks, and such that could pass for real.. and some real that could be taken for fake but he's not comenting on it. "It might well come in handy. I'll eventually look for my own copy, so you can get yours back, in a reasonable amount of time." hen adds, "And granted, with part of my job, I've been rigged up and appear to fly, but in the dreams, there are no wires, or harness or anything like that. Might just like it so much, that I am reliving it, in other ways.. but I don't think so."
Seth watches Kyle's reaction, before it is apparent that Kyle is not taking the situation seriously. One of the only people he's partly exposed himself to and they don't even get phased. Seth then nods agreeing with Kyle. "Sure, take it and just call me when you find another copy or when you're done with it. No big deal…" Seth then agrees with Kyle as he attempts to explain his dreams. "Yes, well I never once had the experience of flight until my dreams. Though they all seem to end the same. It's almost as though I fall out of thin air onto my bed." Seth's expression looks earnest, as though he's hoping this might prompt the other man to say something.
Still thinking the situation is all in his own head, that their situation is, like their shared last name, ironic, a coincidence. He notices the look on the man's face and comments, quietly "According to the book I read, by Matt Roloff and other's works about the disease, being what we are. Though Achondroplasia is the most common form of the over two hundred forms of dwarfism, each individual is still different. It does mental things to our minds and phisical things to our bodies. Might just have fluid on my brain, or something, that will require a shunt eventually. When I hear stuff like that about others, it's realistic, where, with me, I look at things as just a symptom. I saw the book, but what's the point on freaking out about it, or really commenting about it. When it's clear, you want to keep it as hushed as possible. And I don't freak out easily.. over that stuff. Gunfire, yeah.. Not ready to die just yet. But, imploding cans, and floating books.." he continues quietly, shrugging it off.
Seth nods slowly as a grin grows upon his face. "Well at least now… now I know I'm not crazy and just imagining things. I have to thank you for that." He then looks around slowly at the rest of the park. "All these people… all of them go about their lives like nothing is happening. Thinking that nothing abnormal is possible. But for year, I've known the truth." He looks back at Kyle after scanning the area for any others listening. "I am actually capable of these weird happenings and until now. I've never had the guts to speak about it with anyone else. Though somehow… by your reaction alone. I'm thinking maybe you know a small bit of what I'm going through…"
A nod is given, "I've lived here all my life, I was an infant when I was brought to the City twenty-one years ago. There's definetly things that go down here. Things most would find, odd.. most would have individuals locked up for, in straight jackets." he looks to the man, "I am glad you were able to open up. I thought I was the only one that had that happen to. There are things I can't quite explain, but, I believe them to be real. I've seen so called 'Magic' acts, and illusions, even before I got the job at Coney Island. I've seen odd things happen, heard a certain TV interview.. That most of the 'rats' in the city took as a hoax. But I took it as it was intended to be. A lot of shit went down in this city over the last few years." He nods though, "But, even if it's not.. even if it is, in my mind, I want to keep those thoughts and feelings I have, with the things, others would find odd." Looking to the soda can once more. "A year or two ago, Even as quietly as we are discussing this, I don't think I would be talking about it, at all."
Seth looks enthralled as Kyle speaks. He practically hangs on the man's words. "Yes, it is extremely confusing. Though I've started to come into full understanding. I'm still unsure of exactly what the dynamics of this condition are… though that book helped me find the courage to find out." He points toward the book he's lent
Kyle. He seems quite taken by the sight of the book before lowering his face toward the bench. "I know your feelings. I wouldn't normally talk about this either, though the more I see I'm capable of, the more I don't expect I'm the only one." He looks up longingly as he look into Kyle's face. "Maybe I could help you. Maybe we can help each other?"
Kyle nods, "Maybe. Though I don't know what, 'if anything' I'm capable of.. but that doesn't matter.. I suppose. I'm a Little Person. I understand what it's like to be different, either way. In a world of 'normal' people. In a world that has few medical professionals that can handle my problem. A world, that my problem caused me to be put in the system, and no one to adopt me, because my needs would be too costly. The tax payers of this state, paid for my housing, food, clothing and the specialists. I'm definetly different, either way." He nods though, "And I will help you, and if I do have 'something', you can help me too."
Seth smiles as he looks upon Kyle. The look in his eyes is that of utter understanding. "I'm sorry you have to live in society so exposed. I know I am far from obvious when it comes to most discrimination. I can see you haven't had the same experiences." He then smiles and nods his head. "Even if you don't have an ability, you'll help me understand not to be completely ashamed… that's more than I ever thought possible."
A shrug is given. "It's not so bad now, as it was, in the past. The little people in the Wizard of Oz, for example, and even before that were treated worse. A lot worse. I'm thankful that I am here, now, instead of even fourty years ago. I can't feel sorry for myself, or lock myself away. To keep the predjudices away. That would be as bad as those who treated me bad. Treated the others bad. I'll just find ways, better ways to improve myself.. A better life, not fall into the clichet's. That we'd been labled as, since the first little person came into the world. They were the court jesters, the circus people, stuff like that. I know, right now, I sort of do that. But it's only temporary."
Seth nods with a grin upon his face. "Yes, well that's good to hear. I'm always glad to hear people are beginning to be treated better." He then nods as he listens politely before saying, "Well it's always good to try to improve yourself. Just don't lose sight of the important parts of life. We're all connected in some pretty odd ways. So surely there's something planned however small for each of us."
Kyle chuckles, "Exactly, I mean, we all bleed, we all breathe air. Other then a few minor details we're all, pretty much the same." he eats as they talk, though he talks more then he eats. Soon finished with his hotdog, and just relaxing now. "We'll figure everything out in time. And your right.." he agrees, "Everything happens, for a reason. I think we were meant to meet. I think we are more alike, then we may realize. We have those dreams, for a reason. We're supposed to be something, more then what we appear to be."
Seth nods quickly seeming to agree whole-heartedly. "Exactly!" He then nods seeming to be quite comfortable around Kyle now. Surely his most terrifying secret isn't hanging over his head so heavily. "Yeah, that's what I have been feeling for years. Though I've not had the gull to talk to anyone about it until now. Though it is maddening on some days. I can do a lot of things, though some aspects scare me more than others."
"I can see why. About scared the crap out of me with the can. But only before I figured out what was going on. I was already on edge though." Kyle sighs "You'd think, living in this city all my life, I'd be used to it." rolling his eyes. "Anyway.. I think I would agree with you there too. I mean, some abilities would be cool. Useful. Others, could potentially be harmful. Hateful.. But it's what you do with them, that counts the most."
Seth nods seeming to completely understand what Kyle has to say, "Oh, I know. It's one of my nervous habits. I usually don't put myself or other people 'under pressure' though typically the only objects that usually get crushed are your typical items…" He then chuckles as Kyle says he should be used to it. "I don't think those type of things are something to get used to it." He then nods at the philosophy of powers from Kyle. "I can totally agree. Though I'm sure if you're creative, every power has the potential for some type of good." He shrugs before looking down at his watch. "Well look at that, it's almost time for me to head over to the academic support center. I signed up to tutor some low-level social science courses…"

Downtime at work can be fun… I've had a chance to work on my Sudoku skills. I managed to do this one the between yesterday and today, not bad if I say so myself. 🙂
Hmm, I think I finished Fable II… I can't quite recall at the moment now. Of course, if not, the reason being… better games. Also, Batman: Arkham Asylum is still sitting in the que to be finished, I'm picking at it on occasion. There are just so many games that catch my attention. I really need to work on completing a game before I start another.
I have spent a lot of time playing Borderlands, although, I stopped playing Mordecai [the "Hunter"]. I started playing Lilith [the "Siren"]. When I started Lilith, I started playing online. I thought it was good before, it's even better online, especially with friends! I don't know why I even thought about playing that game solo. The only downside to playing online is people talk & it gets hard to hear what NPCs are saying in game.. you miss a bit of the story.
From what I've heard, there is another downside for playing online… but I have yet to experience it. The loot drops on the ground, anyone can grab it and leave the game for no reason. I've only ever played with friends, so I have yet to see that. My friends and I chose the drops based on what character we are playing and who it would benefit most.
When you distribute skill points properly, Lilith becomes vicious. I managed to get her to level 50 on her before I got Mordacai past 25. She becomes even more dangerous once you get her some nice weapons. I managed to get some pretty beastly weapons for her. She rips almost anything apart, even in 4 player games. There are a few areas that I need to find a weapon specific to the mobs in those areas.
I know I complained a little about the inventory system in my last post. It was annoying at first, but now that I've expanded it to 45 slots, it's not as bad. And there's a chance that it can expand even further, I just have to do all the quests in the second play-through: on the second play though, there's only a chance you'll get extra inventory space, so far out of 4 quests I've received 1 upgrade.
Alas… Borderlands has been pushed to the back burner a bit. Modern Warfare 2 came out. *glee* I have been waiting for this game since the first Modern Warfare came out [not really, but you get the idea]. I borrowed my friend's MW2 for Xbox 360 for a few days while he was at work, & I waited for it to be released on PC. For some reason, Steam didn't release it for a few days after it was sold in stores. I played through the campaign on the 360 on Normal, and did a little bit of the Spec Ops missions, but I only did a few, and solo.
I've since installed MW2 on my PC and played through the campaign [yes, again] on Hardened. My brother and I are playing Multiplayer pretty much any time we are both on the PCs. We have yet to hit up any Spec Ops, probably sometime this weekend.
One thing that is slightly disappointing is how quickly people are hacking & cheating in the MW2 multiplayer. I've run into a few different forms of cheating that's quite annoying. One of which any time I looked at an enemy [they were near the middle of my sight] my view would spaz out like I was having a seizure just in my arm and swinging the mouse all over [character would look around very fast in random directions until I was killed].
Then on top of that, there's lag. Now, I know there's bound to be issues with this due to playing online. But it pisses me off when I'm behind someone and toss a grenade at their feet, then unload a full clip into them because they didn't die [grenade and every shot registers as a hit], only to have them turn around, sprint tot me, and knife me dead. Then when I watch the kill cam, from their view, stand there like a complete idiot staring at them. That's just stupid.
One thing I've determined… I need to get a new mouse. My gaming mouse broke about a month ago, I've been using some shitty Microsoft mouse for the past while. I also need to find some sort of desk-like surface for my keyboard & mouse. My PC is hooked up to my TV, I don't have a monitor, I sit on my futon when playing games, it's quite a hassle when trying to play fast paced games, such as MW2. Sitting with the keyboard on my lap & mouse on the futon next to me sucks. Haha, my own fault I guess. I decided to ditch the monitor & desk for the TV setup.
I let my World of Warcraft account expire again. I'll return eventually.. I'm sure. I just don't see the point in paying for WoW when I'm not really playing it. I logged for a few hours a day or two before it expired and managed to get Deathengine to level 71. I'd like to be able to hit up some gaming with my other brother, but with the lack of desire to play WoW it kinda makes that difficult… he's not going to be getting MW2 until sometime after the holidays.

A 46-year-old Jacksonville man pleaded guilty Tuesday in U.S. District Court to receiving child pornography over the Internet, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Christian Yvon Lapierre, a Canadian citizen living in Jacksonville, faces between five and 20 years in federal prison, a $250,000 fine and a potential life term of supervised release, according to prosecutors.
The Florida Attorney General's Office conducted an undercover operation to identify people using the Internet to share child pornography. It identified a web address in Jacksonville that was sharing files depicting child pornography, according to court documents. Documents subpoenaed by investigators revealed that the account was Lapierre's, and a warrant executed in mid-June last year led to the seizure of two computers and other digital media at his home.
While Lapierre admitted to deleting videos from his computer when he heard the FBI knock on his door, analysis revealed five videos and one image depicting child pornography, according to investigators. Lapierre also said he thought one of the videos that he deleted depicted a child having sex with an adult, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

I don't know about you, but I love dessert. As soon as I have finished my dinner my first thought is usually about what sweet treat I can follow it with.
Before going keto, this was usually a packaged, processed snack high in sugar and all sorts of unhealthy additives.
One of the many benefits (but high up on my list) of following a keto diet is that there are so very many delicious options for desserts that are delicious and healthy.
Cakes, cookies, brownies, cheesecakes – my mouth is watering just thinking about them.
The problem is – if I make a pan of brownies, I want to eat a pan of brownies. And no matter how much healthier they may be than 'standard' brownies, eating a whole pan will still be overdoing it on the calories. (You'll probably also end up feeling quite ill for the rest of the day. Don't ask how I know…)
For many people, having self-control is easier when the decision is already made beforehand. Like with these desserts.
You make your dessert – just enough for one portion. Then when it is finished, it is finished. No dish in the fridge taunting you and calling your name…
By far, the most popular single-serve dessert (whether keto or not), is the humble mug cake.
It is such a simple recipe – but also an extremely versatile one at that.
This collection has quite a few mug cakes of varying forms, but also cheesecake, cookie dough, and mousse recipes.
Let's dive in!

I used to make a version of One Minute Chocolate Brownie In A Mug Cake so often for my husband and myself, I could probably make it in my sleep!
So simple, so quick, but it really hits the spot.
I'm going to share with you a tip I picked up based on many a messed-up mug cake. If you cook it too long (even by a short time), the cake will start to burn. Not only does it smell terrible, but the mug is a pain to clean.
Take a wooden skewer, and from around 30 seconds stop the microwave and stick the skewer in the middle of the cake – when you take it out you will see how cooked the batter is.
Do this every 10 or so seconds until it is ready enough for you (depending on how fudgy or cake-like you prefer it)

You can use ready-made sugar-free chocolate chips for this Keto Mug Cookie for One in a pinch, but homemade is recommended.
This is because some brands used maltitol in their sugar free candy. Maltitol is a sugar alcohol (like erythritol), but it is know to cause bloating and other tummy troubles.

Mug cakes tend to not be the most attractive looking desserts, but this Raspberry Cream Cheese Mug Cupcake is just so darn cute!
You can have the cake as-is, but if you are feeling a little more energetic you can top it with a delicious cream cheese frosting.

Now these Single Serve Chocolate Chip Brownies take a bit longer to take the other desserts in this collection, but the wait will be worth it.
Gooey chocolate brownies, warm the oven (and if you have low-carb ice cream, add a scoop while the brownie is still warm).

These Strawberry Mug Cakes can be eaten plain, but you would be missing out if you didn't add the strawberry whipped cream.
The whipped cream topping is made from whipping cream,pureed strawberries, and granulated sugar substitute. You can pipe it on if you're feeling fancy, but scooping it on with a spoon will work too.

Cayenne pepper is the secret ingredients that give Mexican hot chocolate its little bit of kick!
It is also the (not so) secret ingredient for Mexican Hot Chocolate Avocado Pudding.
If you're worried about the flavor of the avocado coming through – it actually has quite a neutral taste. It fades into the back, and once you start eating the pudding you won't even know its there!

We couldn't have a dessert collection and not include cookie dough!
Standard cookie dough is filled with sugar and unhealthy additives. This version has just 5 net carbs per serving.
And it comes together almost as quickly as it would take you to find and open a package of store-bought cookie dough.
You can keep the base recipe for Single Serving Protein Cookie Dough the same and try different add-ins.
