I'm feeling rather generous today and sharing with you my "go to" meal for company. This recipe is a family favorite in the Earl household. My husband and my 21 month-old both ask for seconds and I think it tastes even better the next day, cold, out of the fridge. It is easy to prepare - especially if you've cooked the chicken earlier in the week along with another meal. I usually just serve it with a good loaf of bread and maybe a glass of red wine.
- 1lb Cavatappi Pasta (I use whole wheat rotini)
- 12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Olive oil cooking spray
- ¼ tsp each salt and pepper
- 1 tub (6-7 ounces) basil or cilantro pesto
- 1 cup jarred roasted peppers – red and yellow (drained and cut into strips)
- 1 cup halved grape tomatoes
Cook pasta and reserve 1 cup of water. Coat chicken in olive oil; sprinkle salt and pepper. Grill on stovetop grill pan 4-5 minutes until cooked through. (I just cook it in the oven on 350 for 30 minutes or so). Cut chicken into strips. Add to pasta, pesto, peppers, tomatoes and ½ of pasta water. Mix and serve! Enjoy.

How to Choose an SEO Agency
When looking for an SEO agency, it can be challenging to establish criteria especially if you do not have a grasp of the SEO process. The expectation of most consumers is that a good SEO agency must appear at the top of major search engines for relevant key phrases. This concept seems quite logical, but it does not reflect upon the rest of the agencies which are not. There are many SEO companies which are not at the top of major search engines. It is not possible for all search engines to prove their value by being at the top of search engines. The only way to develop a better understanding of why these companies are there is to start breaking down the current high performing SEO agencies. There are many checks that you can conduct on an SEO company .below are just a few of them:
Search their company name
Search a company name will bring up the most critical details of the company such as their directory listing, social networking pages as well as article submission. If the company is large, you will find some feedback. Most people who have a bad or good experience with an SEO company will most likely mention it somewhere in a blog or forum. However, be careful not to take these reviews at face value since some companies tend to promote themselves online through reviews. Check out some details in the forum such as post count, the response from other forum users as well as join date.
Look at their portfolio
A good SEOClerks company will receive endless testimonials for their users. It is good too as the company for their previous examples of the work they have done. If a company has a long list of clients in their advertizements and they do not have an equally long list of testimonials, ask them about it or contact the owners of the websites.
Check their back links
Most online marketing is done through back linking, and there are very many free tools that can help you check the back of websites. The quality of the websites of the websites which link to a particular company is a good indication of the quality of that particular company as well as the ethical standard of the company. To get more ideas on how to choose the right SEO agency, go to http://www.ehow.com/how_2005471_search-engine-optimization.html.
Understanding the way an SEO company will work on your website is an important thing. If you feel that the company is not completely honest with you, then the company is unethical. Find them here!

St Helena is a beautiful unique Island with a land mass of only 47 square mile and is becoming a popular hit for lots of viewers on social media right now. The Island is about to be transformed from a remote South Atlantic Island to a desired go to destination. The Island will see a dramatic change that comes with a new Airport which officially opened in May 2016.
For many years St Helena was almost unheard of accept for the subject of Napoleon Bonaparte and off the beaten track journalist who would produce a newspaper article from the odd visit to the Island. The current population on the Island is around 4500.
The new St Helena Airport was built on Prosperous Bay Plain. It is said that it took over twenty million tons of blasted rock to fill Dry Gut to accommodate the full length of the Islands runway. In recent media Basil Read bosses recognizes contributions of the Saint Helenian workers engaged on the building of the airport. It is hoped that the Airport will boost the island's economy and bring lots more jobs for the locals once the airport is up and running smoothly.
St Helena is a British overseas dependency and with open skies policies to civilian aircraft the new airport will soon be the focus for many. St Helena is a very desirable place to live and work and it has a safe and secured community. The highest point on St Helena is Diana's Peak, The peak reaches 815m, there are no white sandy beaches, but one can enjoy peace and tranquillity in the Island's laid back lifestyle. The Island offers some great walks; a limited amount of cycling, fishing, safe swimming in the sea and some water sports, the seas around St Helena offers an abundance of marine life, though is normally rough around February and March. The local people on St Helena are very warm and welcoming; it will not take long for you to feel at home.
The Island has only 120 miles of road consisting of mainly steep winding roads, Sandy Bay Beach road is the steepest and would be a challenge for most visitors and islanders alike. On most narrow roads drivers coming down the steep slopes must give way to those drivers coming up to enable safe passing.
The Island offers locally distilled spirits which are stilled at the St Helena distillery, along with Island coffee which is also excellent and is said to be the best tasting coffee in the world, The fishing, diving and eco boat trips are also wonderful. Jacobs's ladder is a grade one listed structure which was built by the royal engineers in 1871 has a total of 699 steps a must climb for all visitors. The St Helena Museum is situated at the bottom of Jacobs's ladder.
St Helena played an important role in the abolition of slavery. Slavers ships were intercepted and captured by the British Navy on the open seas in the South Atlantic Ocean, the slaves were brought ashore in St Helena and cared for. "Yam" which is a tropical plant was introduced to the Island in the 17th century, it was a chief food used by the slaves and it is still grown and eaten by the most of the Islanders today. Over 9000 slaves were freed and repatriated from St Helena.
The famous astronomer Dr Halley visited the Island in 1676, from his observatory on the Island he observed and documented the transit of Mercury over the Suns disc. If you would like to know anything else about our Island please feel free to ask questions in our forum and if you are thinking of visiting the Island you can also find local business listings here for Hotels, rental cars and self-catering on the Island.

The central focus of Setting God's People Free is the Monday to Saturday following of Jesus beyond the walls of the church.
Over the next 12 months, the Setting God's People Free pilot aims to provide each participating diocese with a clear vision for long-term culture change in this area, a coherent strategy to move towards that goal and the early steps required to deliver this aim.
The hope is that these pilots will be instructive for the wider Church and provide a basis from which learning and ideas can be shared.
Three events will be held over the course of 12 months, with dioceses coming together to form Discipleship Learning Communities (DLC). The sessions will be highly interactive with lots of work within and between diocesan groups, stimulating conversation and ideas.
They will be supplemented by input from the facilitators and from outside speakers, the aim of which being to create a sense of inspiration, encouragement and accountability.
Linda Church, Director of Ministry at the Diocese of Ely, said of Ely's involvement: We are delighted to be part of this inspiring pilot. I am really looking forward to our first national meeting in June [2018] and hearing and contributing to the thoughts and ideas that will allow all dioceses and parishes to realise the vision of Setting God's People free.
For more information on Setting God's People Free, visit the Church of England website at https://www.churchofengland.org/about/renewal-and-reform/more-about-renewal-reform/setting-gods-people-free.
We also look forward to sharing more information with you as the project develops. If you want any further information in the meantime on Ely's role in this pilot, please donate hesitate in contacting Linda at firstname.lastname@example.com or on 01353 652733.

getting so many special orders completed just opened up the door for a new wave of project to flood in! i have SO many projects rotting in my que that i'll get to… someday, but for now i'm jumping on those friend and family requests BIG time.
1. mae's boob. this may be horrifying for some people but i tell you - this child never weaned properly! she still begs to cuddle my boobs when she's tired or upset or sick and no matter how i try, she won't give up. when i told her that her fourth birthday meant the end of boob cuddles, her response was that she just wasn't going to be four then. UGH SO, i found this rad boob pattern . she loves it! she requested a purple boob so… malabrigo it is.
2. sherry's shawlette. my dad and his wife have been subtly requesting knitwear for about one hundred years. i called them today to get some ideas and i've decided definitively on this pattern for sherry. knitpicks merino style wool in eggplant. perfect.
3. rick's cowl. he wanted this for his birthday… december 31st. whoops! i'm using the same concept as i did for hub's, but rick's is knitpicks wool of the andes, bulky. it's masculine and warm and perfect for a fireman!
4. alizah's shawlette. getting… difficult… to… work… on… so many stitches and not enough patience right now (clearly) i'm suffering from a horrible case of knitter's ADD! this yarn is glorious, though. i think i'll save up some money and head to my local yarn shop to buy her out completely!!!! it's cascade eco-duo btw…
other than these four, i have a hat for my dad and one for my step-sister in the works. i need to either free up some needles or just buy yet ANOTHER set to get started on those projects LOL

Marble cases of high quality are available in beautiful gloss and matter finish. When talking about a phone case look sleek and stylish the material used on the case matter. So, as sleek and stylish iPhone case should not be the one made from silicone, rubber or plastic ones, which usually doesn't give much attractive look. And it should be metallic or iPhone marble case, which offer sleek and stylish look.
The best iPhone case
- The marble of the iPhone case is as thin as your credit card, so not heavy, reinforced with fiberglass webbing to enhance strength. You get the beautiful luxurious look of marble, and none of its flaws. Since it is natural marble, which guarantees no two pieces will ever look the same.
- From practical aspects of using cases ranging from silicone to leather to marble to nothing at all, a case will not significantly affect the circular signal of a phone unless the case is made of metal. iPhone doesn't have fast charging and charges slowly; this is good for charging with case on. If a phone has fast charging then heat will be generated when charging at a higher voltage and having a case would retain the heat than dissipate it. So charging your phone with iPhone marble case wouldn't cause any harm. However, metallic case may show a sort of heating.
- The case prevents your phone damage from lots of factors. Look, no matter how careful you are, gravity is just stronger than you. While there is always an argument to make for "individuality", a case can also make you stand out in a practical way. Next time you are at a social gathering, count the number of people with the same phone. If all of you place your phone on the table, your phone case will be eye catching and easily identifiable.
- There are lots of cases for iPhones which are really strong and can help secure your cause. By using a case and a screen protector for your iPhone, you can easily protect your phone from dings, scratches and screen breakage. The tempered glass screen protector keep the screen in good condition. Thus you can get the glass screen broken, but the phone's actual screen survives. It also helps preserve the resalevalue of the phone by keeping its casing in pristine condition.
- A case is ultimately essential because without one the beauty of the product will be marred by the wear and tear of day to day life. And the risk of occasional drops especially if one of the kids get hold of it. Therefore it is justifiable to pay a little more for a decent good looking quality case which is as minimalist and unobtrusive as possible.
There are lots of pros of using iPhone case. The case provides a better grip and it protects the front, side and the back of the phone. Marble decorated color cases are available in different designs. Grab a latest case for your phone and ensure your phone safety.

Bickell back in lineup, ready
Article By:From chicagoblackhawks.com: (Link)
With Ben Smith's reassignment to Rockford on Monday, the Blackhawks have 12 forwards on the active roster, which means that Bryan Bickell will be back in the lineup when the Blackhawks take the ice Wednesday in Minnesota. The winger has been a healthy scratch for the last five games.
"It was quite frustrating the first couple of games," Bickell admitted after Tuesday's practice. "I was hard on myself, but I picked up my work and wanted to show coach that I wanted to be in the lineup and stay there. I think the work has paid off and I'll be ready [for Wednesday]."
Bickell started the season on a roll, recording a point in four of the first five games this year. But since then, his production has tailed off a bit, and Head Coach Joel Quenneville says that he's looking for more consistency in the winger's game.
"We like his speed and his size, his physicality and he can be better with the puck," Quenneville told the media after practice. "I just think he had a really strong year for us last year, a good start [this season] and we want to get him back to that pace."
"Game in and game out, I have to be physical and contribute any way that I can," agreed Bickell. "I've been working hard; I need to focus on hitting and getting the puck in the net. I just need to keep working on those things."
When Bickell was teamed with Dave Bolland and Michael Frolik last season, the trio made a formidable challenge for opponents with their blend of offensive skill and defensive presence. Quenneville says that he hopes Bickell will bring that consistently now that he has another chance at the lineup.
"I think with his speed and his size and his presence, he should be more of a factor," Quenneville said. "We saw that a lot last year and I think we need to see that consistently in his game. When he does that, he's a player we can use in all situations."
Needless to say, when Bickell steps out of the dressing room at Xcel Energy Center tonight, he will be ready to go from the first shift.
"The last few weeks I've been realizing what I need to do to stay focused, to be ready for every shift, every game. [Quenneville] told me to be ready and I think I am."

The Puerto Rico law firm of Indiano & Williams provides counseling to corporations and business owners in employment and labor law matters. Over the years, numerous stateside based companies as well as Puerto Rico corporations and employers have sought our law firm's counsel on a variety of employment related matters. Puerto Rico's labor laws, including Law 80 and the "mesada," are quite unique and require employers to take measures beyond that which they are accustomed in stateside jurisdictions. Preventive medicine is essential in avoiding labor claims which can be made under Puerto Rico law. Local law on unjust dismissal, overtime, sick leave, vacation leave and maternity leave are all areas in which an employer should review with an experienced Puerto Rico labor attorney.
Our Puerto Rico labor law practice group has defended many types of employment related cases under federal and state law including age and sexual discrimination claims, WARN act claims and unjust dismissal claims. For our employer clients, we can set up alternative billing arrangements for on-going labor consultation. Our employer client base has included banks, retail outlets, manufacturing concerns and small business.
To speak with one of our Puerto Rico labor and employment lawyers, please contact us today.

While co-owner Greg Best maintains, "We're not a bar," one of the principal reasons to visit this whimsical Krog Street Market eatery—besides the celebrated clam roll—is the chance to tipple cocktails prepared by Best and fellow star mixer Paul Calvert. There's only a handful of bar seats, so come prepared to sit at a table; part of the fun is checking out the nautical-kitsch décor and cheeky club manifestos scattered about.

Constructive forces
Interviews with artists who deal with social and political issues, often on the fringes, conducted by Kate Yoland. This week: Hlynur Pálmason, an Icelandic filmmaker whose feature debut, 'Winter Brothers,' recently screened at the London Film Festival 2017. Palmason's story follows Emil, played by Elliott Crosset Ove, a young man who works in a remote limestone mine with his stronger, more stable brother - depicted in a powerfully tense underground world and a bleak, washed out environment in the upper air.

Curtins chief executive officer Rob Melling talks about why they have launced the AJ/Curtins Inspiring graduate prize
Why are you awarding the Inspiring Graduates Prize?
Whether entrepreneurialism is innate or simply a skill that can be learned is a hard argument to settle. However, there is no doubting its importance to a business, and architecture is no exception.
As the economy continues its slow recovery from the downturn, opportunities are opening up for architecture practices and to meet the demand they must recruit new waves of talent to bolster the established ranks.
However, while the lengthy and demanding architectural education produces fantastically imaginative designers, it often fails to instill in young hopefuls the entrepreneurial spirit crucial to making a practice successful.
A recent survey for RIBA Appointments conducted by NBS revealed that four out of five employers thought universities were failing to provide students with the full set of skills needed to practice. The Architects' Journal, in association with Curtins is searching for the perfect architecture graduate, one who blends razor-sharp business acumen with rigorous design skills.
Why is the award important to you?
Celebrating young talent in the architecture industry resonates strongly with me, as it embodies the inherent spirit here at Curtins of recognising and nurturing the skills of individuals. We place enormous value on helping people to reach their full potential. The launch of our Academy last year strives to do this for our own engineers, and so it feels completely fitting to be able to identify, praise and inspire talent in the wider industry too, through this award.
What was it about Bill Curtin that inspired you?
Bill Curtin's values, which include recognising and nurturing young talent, are integral to how we run our business and we have all been inspired by Bill in some way. We want to encapsulate those values and share them with future generations. That is our motivation for setting up this award.
What would you like to see demonstrated by the candidates?
The practice of engineering is fundamentally centred around solving problems and achieving solutions on behalf of our clients. This approach is driven by our acute commercial awareness. We are looking for candidates for the prize who have reflected this by displaying evidence of their own business acumen, perhaps by transforming a financially unviable project to a viable one.

Global finance was on the menu this morning as Margot and Justine attended the annual Chief Economists Forum in Sydney, where an impressive line-up of economists and strategists shared their insights on what we can expect for the year ahead.
In short, the global outlook may be more positive than previously thought.
With lots of change going on in the world – from the economic ramifications of Brexit to a burgeoning Chinese economy, increased volatility is a given. As a result, 2018 could be a year to stick to key fundamentals.
A recurring theme was the strong growth continuing in China, which many experts refer to as "the 4th Industrial Revolution" or "China 2.0". With this growth comes higher earnings, which are driving consumption and domestic savings. These in turn are being invested back into the economy – meaning that while there's significant debt being created, much of this debt is tied up in infrastructure and other tangible investments, making it more secure than debt that's not asset-based.
So while (as usual) change is the only constant, shifting paradigms and new challenges mean more opportunities in the market for those who are ready to embrace them.

Stanford's Starbird Takes Wing / From hobbling recruit to record-setting scorer
She arrived at Stanford with an ugly shot, a broken kneecap and so-so recruiting reports.
"We didn't know what we had," said interim Stanford head coach Amy Tucker.
Kate Starbird's shot is still unsightly, and her kneecap is still in two pieces, but she now finds herself in the Cardinal record book. Her 44-point effort against USC on Saturday set a school record and her two- game, 77-point total last week also is a Stanford mark.
Perhaps more significant is that Starbird, heading into tonight's road game against Oregon and Saturday's showdown against No. 12 Oregon State, is averaging 21.9 points a game. Although that may not seem like a superhuman scoring pace, it is at Stanford, where team balance has been the byword the past 11 years.
Stanford's Jennifer Azzi was national player of the year in 1990 averaging just 14.7 points. Sonja Henning was a Stanford All-American scoring at 15.7 a game. And Val Whiting, a two- time All-American and player of the year runner-up, never averaged more than 18.7 points at Stanford. In fact, no Stanford player since Tara VanDerveer arrived in 1985 has averaged 20 points or more over a season.
Of course, no Stanford team has played the kind of wide- open style that Stanford is playing this season, a style that fits Starbird, possibly the best open-court player in the country.
"It allows me to do a lot of stuff for myself and for my teammates," said Starbird. "It's a little more improvisation.
We're not on train tracks like it was. It was more set in the past, when it was, 'Go here, go there.' "
Having some teammates injured and playing opponents willing to play Stanford's up-tempo style has pushed Starbird to score more recently, and the style has highlighted her skills.
"She almost looks awkward," said UCLA coach Kathy Olivier, "but she gets the job done." Often with spectacular results, as evidenced by her 43rd and 44th points against USC, which came on a double-pump, reverse layup. "It was scary," said Olivier, who saw it on replays. "It was like a (Michael) Jordan move."
"In a strictly halfcourt game, she might not stand out," said Tucker. "In terms of open-court players, she's the best. What sets her apart is her ability to handle the ball and create off the dribble. You just don't see that in the women's game."
Stanford coaches didn't think they would see it in Starbird when she first arrived in Palo Alto three years ago. She was on crutches.
Starbird, daughter of a retired army colonel, had honed her game at Fort Lewis near Tacoma, Wash., talking her way into games with males at the gym on the base. She scored all kinds of points at Lake High School, but besides the two games each week, she could only practice once a week because of the intense pain in her left knee that had bothered her since a summer water-skiing accident.
Starbird had limited her college choices to Vanderbilt and Stanford, "but Vanderbilt said basically, 'You can have her,' " said Tucker. "They really wanted another person we were recruiting." Stanford got the other player, too, one who did not have to limp onto campus the next fall.
Starbird's knee problems had been diagnosed as tendinitis, but when she arrived at Stanford, they quickly told her she he had a cracked kneecap.
She still doesn't know when or how she got it; maybe she's had it since birth. It was a major pain in her freshman season, but weightlifting and treatment have rendered it a non-problem, although the break is still there, her kneecap separated into two large bone fragments. She wears kneepads, but that's merely the result of her father's request of years ago. She has resisted surgery, which just doesn't seem worth it.
Her shot also needed surgery, but the effort to remedy that didn't seem worth it either.
"When I first saw her shoot, it was the ugliest thing I'd ever seen," said Tucker.
It looked more like a 1940s set shot, Starbird pushing the ball away from waist level. After first catching sight of that ghastly technique, VanDerveer immediately stationed Starbird two feet from the basket and began the arduous task of reconstructing her shot. She couldn't do it.
"Eventually, she just said, 'Forget it,' " said Starbird. "I still think my shot is less than orthodox."
It remains a rather clumsy- looking set shot, although the release point has been raised to near head level. Despite the aesthetics of her shot, Starbird is one of 20 finalists for the Naismith Award, which goes to the national player of the year.
She is one of those players who has no true position. She's labeled as an off-guard or small forward, but as a slender 6-foot-2 player who excels in the open court, she is simply an offensive weapon.
"Early in the season I was informed I needed to shoot more," Starbird said.
That came after she had just three points on five shots in the season-opening loss to Massachusetts.
Scoring 77 in the past two games is more what Stanford had in mind.
-- Full name: Catharine Evelyn Starbird -- Hometown: Tacoma, Wash. -- College: Stanford -- Height: 6-foot-2 -- Class: Junior -- 1995-96 statistics: 21.9 points (4th in Pac-10), 4.5 assists (7th), 47.9 percent field-goal shooting, 35.3 percent 3-point shooting (6th), 78.8 percent free-throw shooting (5th), 4.2 rebounds, 1.7 steals, 0.9 blocks, 2.7 turnovers. -- 1994-95 season: All-Pac-10 first team, 16.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.3 assists. -- Major: Probably chemical engineering, 3.95 GPA -- High school senior season: Parade first-team All-America, 29.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists.

Accidents that involve pedestrians occur after every two hours in the US. According to NTHSA, more than 700,000 pedestrians are involved in an accident every year. Reducing this number has proven difficult for authorities and private stakeholders. This is due to the failure of people to commit to safety standards while crossing or walking on the road. Here are helpful tips on how to be safe as a pedestrian.
Stay on Designated Walkways
Do not walk close to the vehicles on the road. Instead, stay on the designated lanes such as sidewalks and crosswalks. In case the road does not have designated lanes, walk so that you are facing the oncoming traffic. If the drivers are on the right side of the road, walk on the left side. Walking this way enables you to see any potential dangers and react accordingly.
Watch Out for Traffic
Look right and left before you cross the road. You should do this even if you are in a crosswalk and the traffic signal is green. Having the right of way in this case won't prevent you from being hit. A sleepy driver cannot notice the green light or that you are on a sidewalk and might hit you. It is also important to stay alert at all times.
Avoid Distractions
Being distracted while walking is one of the major causes of pedestrian deaths, especially among teens. Distractions interfere with your ability to make rational decisions based on the existing situations on the road. Avoid receiving a call or typing on your phone when walking or crossing the road. Keep your headphones away and ensure your attention is on your surroundings.
Make Yourself Visible
It may be difficult for drivers to see you when it is dark or raining. You can always increase your visibility in such environments by wearing brighter clothes. Clothes that have reflective strips can also do the trick. Stay out of blind spots. Most drivers are not aware of people at the blind spots, especially those who do not have reflective clothing. It is also advisable to make eye contact with the driver if you want to cross the road. Making eye contact clearly communicates your intention to the driver.
Trust Your Instincts
It is wise to trust your instincts before you cross. If something seems off or you are in doubt, do not cross. Wait if you suspect that the driver has not seen you. The same applies when you feel that you might not be in a position to make it to the other end in time without interfering with the traffic. You can find an alternative route if you are having trouble crossing.
The tips discussed above will help you stay safe on the road as a pedestrian. However, there are some situations where you cannot avoid an accident. It is important you call a car or truck accident attorney Carrollton to help you file a lawsuit or negotiate for a settlement with the insurance company. The lawyer will also help you take care of the medical bills if you are unable to.

Learning How to Take VHS Tapes and Archive Their Content
Many instructors have old video tapes that they use to demonstrate various concepts to their students in traditional classrooms. Now that everything is digital they want to transfer that obsolete technology to a usable format. Over the years I have been ask many times about transferring that data into digital format. Yes it is possible, but often I will use it as an opportunity for the instructor to modernize their resources and find up to date material. In some cases that is just not possible. In addition, there is always those old home movies out there that we as parents use to blackmail our kids when they start dating.
At any rate there are several options available to transfer the data. One new option is the Elgato Video Capture System (https://www.elgato.com/en/video/video-capture). This system is a simple Adapter and cable with the necessary software to connect to your VCR and computer to make the transfer. The system works with both Mac and PC and at less than $100, is affordable.
You may also want to check out the c\net tutorial, Learning How to Take VHS Tapes and Archive Their Content (http://vhs-tapes.worthytales.tv/learning-take-vhs-tapes-archive-content/#).
As a quick reminder, please follow all copyright laws when transferring video.
CountDown +++ and CountDown Days Since, Days Until
Today I have two similar apps, CountDown +++ and CountDown Days Since, Days Until. Who among us have not been faced with a looming deadline or better still an important event such as vacation or graduation? Sometimes it is nice to know exactly how many days before the big event. Today's apps address that problem.
Countdown +++ is a nice little app that counts you down to the precise second of any day. It allows you to set date name, date, time, various alarms, as well as color code you event. You can set up a variety of events and sort alphabetically, or by most current or less current. You can also go into the settings determine what happen after the countdown is over. You can select show "Done" or continue counting up, which will display a count of how long it has been since the event launched. Currently it is $.99 cents in the app store. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/countdown+++/id573550084?mt=8
The CountDown Days Since, Days Until is very similar to the Countdown +++ app. It allows you to set title, date, icons, and backgrounds as well as a number of other features. You have the ability to use your own photos as backgrounds. The major differences I found between the two apps was this one allows you to import events from your calendar and share events via facebook, tweets, text, and emails. Countdown Days Since, Days Until is free. Check both apps out at the App store. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/countdown-days-since-days/id732814593?mt=8

AutoRap by Smule
Today I have a little app that some may find silly, but for the young of heart it may be fun. This app is called AutoRap and it does just what the name implies, it converts your words into a rap song.
For those who know me I cannot tune a radio much less create a song, but this app does the work for me. I open the app, choose the beat, and speak into the device microphone and I have an announcement I can email to my best friend or the entire class.
This app is not for everyone, but it is fun to play if you have a sense of humor. It is free, but there is a limited number of records on the free version. If this is your thing you can always upgrade to the full package. Check it out at https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/autorap/id524299475?mt=8 .
TigerText Secure Messenger App
TigerText lets you send secure, encrypted text messages. You are in control and know exactly when your message has been read. You can also recall a message at any time. The person you are texting does not need to have TigerText for this to work. Other key features include Message Lifespan, Group Messaging, Message Forwarding, and Do Not Disturb.

Connectivism: A Learning Theory for the Digital Age
Presented on Jan 9, 2014 by Sherri E. Ritter, Ed.D. and Kathleen Phillips, MLIS
A learning theory is an attempt to describe how people learn. Three broad learning theories are Behaviorism, Cognitivism, and Constructivism.
- Behaviorism is a theory of learning based upon the idea that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning. Conditioning occurs through interaction with the environment.
- Cognitivism has a premise that humans generate knowledge and meaning through sequential development of an individual's cognitive abilities, such as the mental processes of recognize, recall, analyze, reflect, apply, create, understand, and evaluate.
- Constructivism says people construct their own understanding and knowledge of the world, through experiencing things and reflecting on those experiences. When we encounter something new, we have to reconcile it with our previous ideas and experience, we are active creators of our own knowledge.
Connectivism was founded in 2004 by theorist George Siemens. The theory address to role technology plays in the learning process. Technology has increases the speed at which individuals have access to information and creates a learning community.
- Connectivism is driven by the understanding that decisions are based on rapidly altering foundations.
- New information is continually being acquired.
- The ability to draw distinctions between important and unimportant information is vital.
- The ability to recognize when new information alters the landscape based on decisions made yesterday is critical.
Examples of Connectivism
- Have you ever been in a meeting and a question comes up that no one can answer and a couple minutes later that guy that never seems to be engaged in the discussion (because he is always surfing the web) speaks up with the answer… well that is connectivism.
- Have you ever listened to a speaker and thought to yourself, "I want to know more," and used technology to verify the facts… well that is connectivism.
Why is this important to you?
This is the new reality in the digital age and you are training students to work in this environment. The ipad was released in April 2010 and it has changed the way we learn and do business. Mobility is the new reality.

Way of Life
Well it is that time of year again, time for a new beginning. The magic word for 2013 was "change." Everywhere I looked I saw change, some good, some not so much, but we have all survived and are now looking toward a fresh start.
Along with that new beginning comes promises to ourselves in the form of resolutions. Personally I can come up with resolutions all day, but it is the follow through that gets me. Way of Life is an app for your iPhone that reminds you to follow through and it even helps you track your progress. I don't know if it will help this chronically challenged resolution buster, but I will give it a try. Check it out at https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/way-life-ultimate-habit-maker/id393159800?mt=8.
As the New Year approaches try to remember that what this new beginning brings to you will depend a great deal on what you bring to the New Year. Happy 2014.

There is an old saying that if you do not like the weather in Texas, all you have to do is wait 5 minutes for it to change. Although there may be exaggeration to this statement, there is some truth to it. The weather in Texas changes not only from season to season, but also region to region. These weather variations can make it difficult for visitors to the state to know how to pack clothing for their stay.
The following tips will help to ensure you are dressed appropriately no matter what the weather is.
Consider The Region
The first thing that you will need to do is consider the region you will be staying in. For example, if you are visiting the northern region of the state, you can expect the weather to be milder than any other part of the state. However, the winters in this area are more severe than other parts of the state.
The Eastern section of the state is considered desert, so you want to make sure the clothes you pack are appropriate for hot weather. Depending on the season, Central Texas can be either hot or mild. The Western area of the state enjoys a coastal climate that includes frequent coastal breezes and rain.
If you are planning to camp or visit wooded areas in the state, you will need to pack for the outdoor elements. Be sure to pack boots and clothes that are made from breathable materials.
Consider The Season
The next thing you will need to do is consider the season you will be traveling. The state experiences the seasons differently. On average, the winters are mild and the summers are really hot. Although these are constants during the seasons, you will need to be mindful if you plan to visit in between seasons.
The spring and autumn seasons are surprisingly inconsistent, and it is a good idea to pack a long pair of pants and a long-sleeved shirt if you are visiting in the spring. Even though you will need warmer clothes in the fall, do not be caught off guard by the warmer days that may pop up during your autumn visit.
Texas is on the warm side of the spectrum when it comes to weather. Cotton, rayon and other breathable fabrics are the best ones to wear while you are visiting. Women can almost wear summer dresses year-round, and men can wear a lot of shorts and light, breathable pants.

Best Exercises to Perform After Cosmetic Surgery
Recovering from surgery, no matter the type can feel like a long process. However, one way that you can actually help your recovery in the long term is to be active. Exercising is an important part of recovery, so long as you time it correctly and do not put your body under an undue stress before it is ready (particularly if the surgery was particularly extensive).
So, here are some things to keep in mind as someone considering or undergoing cosmetic surgery and how this will affect your exercise routine afterwards:
First Few Days
No patient should be physically active for the first 48 hours following their surgery.
First Few Weeks
Physical activity following any type of surgery needs to gradually increase over a certain period of time. As energy levels return, so too should your level of activities. It depends on the patient but there may be a period of between 1 and 2 weeks before full energy levels are returned to normal. If you are particularly anxious to return to exercise following cosmetic surgery, then light strolls in the first week are probably the best option to reduce stress on your still healing body.
Once your previous energy level fully returns, then you can enter a more specific fitness regime following the various types of surgery you may have undergone.
After Breast Lift
A mastopexy is one of the cosmetic surgeries that makes it important for patients to get back to a certain level of activity following the surgery. However, it is vital to have the necessary time to heal. Running, in particular, should be avoided to avoid undue stress to the breast area.
A good exercise that won't harm the impact of your breast surgery includes many lower body exercises. Squats, lunges and leg presses, in particular, are needed. Some light cardio using a stationary bike or elliptical machine may also be acceptable the more weeks you put in between you and your surgery.
Any type of exercise that involves a bouncing type motion should be avoided, as well as any strain on the upper body. This should be upheld until at least four weeks after your surgery.
After Liposuction
The first two weeks following surgeries should always be taken easily. By the third week, liposuction will be instructed to begin light cardio such as walking or stationary bicycles. Compression garments are required day and night to help minimize swelling and to try to prevent skin retraction, which should also be worn during exercise to prevent any issues during movement. After two weeks of light workouts, the patient can then continue more demanding exercises.
After this, it depends on how much liposuction you had that dictates your four-week exercise regime. If swelling occurs following exercise, then it is a sign that you have gone one step too far, too soon. Don't worry though, this does not jeopardize the results, only causes minor discomfort until the swelling goes down once again.
Of course, there are many different types of cosmetic surgeries which may be affected by exercise after the fact. However, for most, you will simply have to fall slowly back into a routine of light exercise and then up the intensity once you know that healing is occurring.
If you feel you are having problems or swelling becomes too pronounced, even months later, then it is vital that you consult a medical professional to ensure there are no complications.

France says Oui to same-sex marriage
Amidst all the speculation about whether the UK would ever see same-sex marriage, on 29 May 2013 France became the 14th country to host a wedding involving a gay couple.
Under brand-new family laws, passed just ten days beforehand, the wedding of Vincent Autin and Bruno Boileau went ahead amidst mass-media interest and joy from gay activists juxtaposed with fear of civil unrest.
Prior to the ceremony six months of heated political debate and outbursts of violent protesting exposed a fiercely conservative outlook among some of the French population. Dissent regarding the proposed allowing of same-sex marriage and adoption in French family law saw major protests in Paris and a small number of protesters were also present outside the city hall in Montpelier where the couple were married.
There was tight security and a strong police presence at the ceremony which was broadcast simultaneously on French TV. The marriage was officiated by Mayor of Montpelier Helene Mandroux, who described it as a "historic moment" and "a stage in the modernisation of" France.
At the time of the French wedding Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Iceland, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, South Africa and Sweden were the other 13 countries to have enacted family laws regarding same-sex marriage, while parts of Mexico and the United States had also legalised gay weddings.
Uruguay and New Zealand had both enacted laws that would shortly come into force, while Andorra, Columbia, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg, Nepal and the United Kingdom were all in the process of debating proposed bills on the legalisation of same-sex marriages.
In the UK, where same-sex couples had been able to undertake civil-partnership ceremonies since December 2005, much of the dissent regarding same-sex marriage came from Christian groups which sought to outlaw the practice as being against the tenets of the Bible.
However, the Bishop of Salisbury, the Rt Rev Nicholas Holtam, went on record the day after the French wedding ceremony to suggest that Christians should rethink their opposition to the Gay Marriage Bill, saying that there was precedent of the church revising its position on similarly contentious issues.
Bishop Holtam wrote in a letter published in the Daily Telegraph, "For example, before Wilberforce, Christians saw slavery as Biblical and part of the God-given ordering of creation. Similarly in South Africa the Dutch Reformed Church supported Apartheid because it was Biblical and part of the God-given order of creation. No one now supports either slavery or apartheid. The Biblical texts have not changed; our interpretation has."
Legal advice for gay couples from Healys family lawyers in London and Brighton
Whether you and your partner plan to live together or undergo an official ceremony of union, there are a number of legal implications which should be considered carefully at the outset of any potentially long-term commitment.

I remember going to the supermarket with my dad when I was a little kid, and watching him sign his credit card bill, and thinking his J… A… signature was a pretense. I was like 7, and had probably signed my name, I don't know, four times in my whole life. No one could really be as lazy as my dad with a signature.
And yet adult life gives one countless opportunities to sign things. And my signature is usually something like R… A… While signing my passport forty minutes ago, I tried to spell out the whole thing, though I got disenchanted somewhere around "au."
Boring story aside, I just bought a ticket to Sofia, Bulgaria.

A lifetime spent keeping life on track,
Just to save oneself from any setbacks!
No singing and dancing on life's cruise;
A ride without any fun, what's the use?!
Rather than comprehend nature's truest gestures
Better carry out wonderful adventures
Eat, sleep, enjoy in peace; adore with delight
Simply smile, make everyone's day bright
Get submerged under the ocean of love
Paradise is here only, not anywhere up above
Do understand and act upon morals
Take decisions of life as vibrant as corals
It's great to answer inspiration's call
But a cheerful face gets the best of it all
Savor the journey, work out shortcomings
Follow your heart with passion, regret nothing
Explore every moment, break new grounds
Vivid liveliness knows never any bounds
So do your bit and leave the rest to fate
The essence of life is to be happy, don't wait!

What Twitter, Medium, Airbnb, Netflix and Spotify can teach you about hiring engineers
Airbnb is a global hospitality company. Spotify is a music streaming service. Netflix streams video. And Medium is a content platform focused on viewpoints, not number of views. What do these diverse businesses have in common?
The power of pull.
These visionary companies go a step beyond traditional hiring routes by building "Inbound hiring" channels.
Sourcing talented engineers isn't just about a stellar salary or cool office space. Most businesses already offer that. It's about discovery, learning, growth. Smart people want to work with smart people to expand their knowledge base — this is especially true of engineers. They're hungry to learn about state-of-the-art technologies in outstanding companies, and to interact with smart coworkers.
Social shares target top talent
Today's hot trend to attract top-flight engineers is showcasing a company's advanced tech stack and work environment. Telling outsiders about team culture also helps attract people with a similar mindset. The best way to do both? Social media.
Sharing news on Twitter, and engineering resources on websites and blogs, are two major channels to build a readership of relevant talent. The community engages engineers around the world who are interested in solving similar problems, and establishes the "cool and advanced engineering team" brand among community members.
Here's how five renowned companies (including Twitter itself) are leveraging Twitter to find and recruit the best engineers worldwide. If you are not an engineer, you might be surprised to see just how successful these entrepreneurial businesses have been in sharing their infrastructure to help the developer community.
A cross between a social network and a microblogging platform, ten-year-old Twitter turns on the @ symbol, in bursts of 140 characters or less. Users employ hashtags (the number sign #) to specify themes and find other Twitter users who are Tweeting about (discussing) the same topic.
Obviously, Twitter uses @TwitterEng, (1.2M followers) as a major channel to engage engineers with engineering-related news. It also maintains a website to share information on different topics, including engineering process, culture, tools and events.
Since one of Twitter's biggest challenges is handling enormous requests for real time data every second from all over the world, Twitter engineers have built a lot of projects to achieve this goal, and open-sourced some of them.
Besides open source projects, the Twitter engineering team also conducts research and shares the results on their website. Teams/engineers seeking scalable solutions for their growing product can likely find some interesting resources on Twitter Engineering.
Hottest open-source projects include:
- Bootstrap: A sleek, mobile first front-end framework for web development.
- Typeahead.js: A fast, fully featured autocomplete library.
Since blog publishing platform Medium is the brainchild of Twitter co-founder Evan Williams, it's not surprising that the four-year-old interactive platform uses Twitter (@MediumEng, 6.8k followers) as its tech news channel and Medium Engineering as its engineering blog to share information and interviews from an engineering perspective.
Medium is also well known for its user experience (both readers and writers), thus attracting designers as well as engineers to the blog.
Some good reads include:
Airbnb's message is, "Don't go there, live there." Founded in 2008, the hospitality marketplace replaces hotels with homestays worldwide, from Bangkok to Berlin, Boston to Bahasa, whether someone is traveling for a night, a week, a month, or longer, at any price point. So far, Airbnb has served more than 60 million guests.
Airbnb needs to be able to efficiently serve customers and hosts from all over the world, any time, in 25+ languages and 40+ currencies. It also needs to block spammers and frauds on a large scale. Airbnb Engineering and Data Science describes how the company built the platform, and how it handles huge amounts of data and requests.
Given the founders' design background, it was only natural that Airbnb would build some creative UI design projects of its own, in addition to open source projects in infrastructure and machine learning.
Airbnb uses Twitter (@AirbnbEng, 16.4K followers) and the Airbnb engineering website to share its knowledge, with Medium serving as the engineering blog. The company recently added Twitter handle @AirbnbData to focus on big data.
Hot projects include:
- Caravel: A data exploration platform designed to be visual, intuitive, and interactive.
- enzyme: JavaScript Testing utilities for React
Music streaming service Spotify made headlines in 2014 when pop superstar Taylor Swift pulled her entire catalogue from the site, citing artistic integrity and value. The eight-year-old Swedish company operates under a freemium business model, offering both free and paid subscriptions.
Spotify must manage a high volume of song requests, without compromising the quality of the music. Twitter is its main news channel (@SpotifyEng, 5.5k followers) and Spotify Labs is where the service shares the engineering learning and culture within the team, in blog format.
One of the most widely shared posts describes how Spotify structures their engineering team to handle a growing number of team members and tasks. The piece was so popular that Harvard Business School used the Spotify "Squad" as an example of how to successfully lead a global organization without an operations team.
Recent posts include:
Netflix, which began as a DVD-by-mail service in 1998, started offering streaming video in 2007, and now serves more than 190 countries worldwide.
The company faces the challenge of streaming high quality video daily, via different devices, to a huge number of subscribers. It is well known for offering the most competitive salary to hire the best people — but differs radically from many other businesses in one key respect: how it views employees.
In a presentation about company culture, Netflix famously said, "We're a team, not a family" to indicate how they expect and treat team members. Only confident and highly capable people fit into this highly competitive culture, and are compensated according to what they produce, not how late they stay at the office. When so many businesses today play up the importance of coworkers feeling "like a family," this is a game-changing distinction.
Netflix maintains a tech blog to share how it deals with the problems inherent in large-scale service, and dedicates a Twitter handle specifically for UI Engineers (@netflixuie, 4.5k followers).
How to make hiring easier
Consistently hiring the right people is hard — but it doesn't have to be. Instead of reaching out to those who might or might not be interested in your technology or culture, build a brand that shares the daily work within the company, and helps enrich talent within the engineering community through knowledge sharing.
Good engineers love to see a team that's open enough to offer them something new to learn. By being generous with your knowledge and sharing frequently on social media, you will ultimately attract talent that is aligned with your culture and tech stack, just as Twitter, Airbnb, Netflix, Medium and Spotify have done.

Europe » Poland
Gay Guide Poland
The age of consent for all in Poland is 15 and was introduced in 1932. The Polish Constitution prohibits discrimination on all grounds. Marriage is restricted to a man and a woman only. Poland joined the European Union on the 1st of May 2004 and adopted anti-discrimination provisions laid down by EU directives. In the 2014 mayoral election in Slupsk, openly gay candidate Robert Biedron was fiercely opposed by the Catholic Church and parties on the far right, even including physical attacks on him during the election campaign. But he nonetheless won it in the second ballot round with a surprisingly large majority. Surely no positive changes to be expected in Poland with the newly elected right-wing Law and Justice Party, which is staunchly opposed to LGBT rights, and maybe problems with organizing pride marches, like it was between 2005-7. It could be also tougher to conduct gender and sexuality research at universities. The party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski fears that "the affirmation of homosexuality will lead to the downfall of civilization". Poland is already lagging behind most of Western Europe on LGBT rights, providing no recognition of same-sex relationships, banning same-sex marriage and adoption. The newly elected president, Andrzej Duda, is also from Law and Justice Party and shortly before elections he vetoed the new gender recognition bill. In recent years, the Gay Pride Parades have either been prohibited or were confronted with hostile counter-demonstrators if they did go ahead. The era of prohibitions at least is now over. On July 17 2010 the EuroPride took place in Warsaw with over 10 000 participants who marched through out the streets of Polands capital. There was no violence. There are three Pride Festivals (with Pride Marches) in Poland: in April in Krakow called Queer May in June in Warsaw called Equality Days and in November in Poznan - Equality and Tolerance Days. The gay scene is mainly located Warsaw, although some other large cities like Krakow, Lodz, Poznan, Wroclaw and Gdansk have an emerging gay scene.

I like to start most of my days with a smoothie, and am always looking for new ways to switch up my go-to recipes. So when fevers hit our home a few weeks ago, and the only requested meals consisted of liquids, I figured it was a great way to come up with a new nutrient-dense drink that would not only deliver a punch to the flu but also wake the body upon any old Monday.
This smoothie is extremely refreshing, thanks to a few citrus squeezes, a cooling mint kick, and a touch of sweetness from apple. It balances the flavors nicely, and received rave reviews and repeat requests in my household. It also delivers some great adaptogenic boosts through the addition of raw garlic, whose antibacterial and antiviral properties are present, though the taste is perfectly hidden amidst banana and greens. It's then rounded off with raw protein power and bee pollen, which provide good energy and immunity support. I can't think of a better way to jump start the day.
Refreshing Green Smoothie
1 small banana, sliced
1/2 lime, peeled
1/2 orange, peeled
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tsp lemon rind, finely grated
1 small bunch of kale, de-ribbed
2 sprigs of mint leaves
1/2 apple, sliced
1 clove of garlic, sliced (let sit for 5 minutes before adding in)
1 packet of raw protein powder (I prefer this kind)
1 tsp bee pollen
Combine first ten ingredients in blender, and top with water or preferred nut milk and 3-4 ice cubes. Blend until combined. Top with bee pollen and enjoy.

In the previous posts I have discussed briefly about the CHECKSUM options. Fundamentally, Database options allow you to establish checksum, torn page or no audit detection levels at a database level. File stream file groups do not apply the database level options to the files it stores as part of NTFS volume.
It makes sense, as to checksum files would require the SQL Server process to read a file and calculate the checksum as it is streaming the big chunk from disk. This could be a very expensive operation as file streams is targeted at files in excess of 1MB, document and video storage. This increased load on the system could quickly become a performance factor. Inline stored blobs receive checksum at the individual page level, reducing the overhead and spreading the activity.
Sometimes, looking at technology in isolation and not understanding its impact on other subsystems can become fatal in our core understanding of the features used.

When life gives you lemons, what do you do? Wear it of course! Lemon printed clothing and accessories are perfect for summer. Bright, bubbly, and bold!
Summertime is my favorite time of the year to wear prints. I'm all about bright colors, but finding the right print, can be a bit challenging. This lemon print is great for all skin tones because of the multicolor mixes of yellows and greens. I also love the white base which makes the print stand out while looking clean.
This dress is from H&M but I've linked a few other lemon printed dress to shop below!
