At least it has at my house on the shoreline! Found a few nice surprises as I walked around the property today. Found 4 crocus had popped up on the front lawn. Haven't seen any in years! I thought the squirrels had gotten all of them. I also found a Crown Imperial popping up through one of my Barberry Bushes. These aren't to common in the US. You tend to see them more often in the UK. Very majestic and pretty! And my Lenten Roses (Hellabore) that I thought were killed off when it got bitterly cold here a couple weeks ago are blooming! The leaves are crispy but the freeze didn't seem to hurt the flowers one bit! Even the Cranberry Meadow Brook at the back of the property was babbling away today. Just love that sound!

from Japan writes:
Could you please tell me the difference between actually,
in fact and well? I think all of them can be used
to correct the previous utterance. Is there any difference between
They are all very similar, but there are also slight differences
in use.
Both actually and in fact can be used to modify or
contradict a previous statement:
I hear that you're a doctor. ~ Well, actually, I'm a
Well, it may sound very straightforward to you, but in fact
it's all very complicated.
Would you agree with me that teachers should refrain from socialising
with their students? ~ Well, actually I think it's a good
idea for them to socialise - up to a certain point!
Actually and in fact can also be used to introduce
more detailed information or to make things clearer or more precise:
I'm going to take on a bit more responsibility now that Kevin's
left ~ John, that's wonderful news. ~ Yes, well, actually
/ in fact I've been promoted to senior sales manager.
I got so bored listening to what he was saying that I actually
fell asleep / in fact I fell asleep half way through
his presentation.
Note that we can also use in actual fact or as a matter
of fact to clarify matters or to introduce new information:
I got so bored with what he was saying that in actual fact
/ as a matter of fact I dozed off before he'd
finished speaking.
Actually is sometimes used to introduce unwelcome news:
Richard wants to invite us to spend the weekend at his cottage
in the Lake District. Isn't that exciting? ~ Well, actually,
I've already said we can't go.
Note that when actually is placed at the end of the clause,
it confirms news that others do not expect:
I don't suppose you've posted my letters, have you? ~ I have,
Did you enjoy that modern opera at Covent Garden? ~ I did, actually.
Very much.
Well is more widely used as a discourse marker than in
fact or actually. As we can see from the examples above
and below it is very widely used to indicate that we are about to
say something. It is sometimes used to give the speaker more time
to think:
So how much do you want for your 1999 Renault? ~ Well,
I was thinking of £2,500.
So how do you propose to furnish the house? ~ Well, I thought
we might invest in some second-hand furniture.
Well is also used to introduce a statement which indicates
that expectations have not been fulfilled:
You know I said I thought I might go skiing with Jamie this
year? Well, I'm not going to now.
How was the tennis lesson? ~ Well, in actual fact, we forgot
to go.
Well can also be used to soften corrections or criticism:
You live in South Kensington, don't you? Well, Pimlico,
You do like my yellow dress, don't you? ~ Well, yes, it's
quite nice. But I think the blue one would have suited you more.
Why didn't you give Bob a lift back home? ~ Well, how was
I supposed to know he was at the match?
I couldn't find my way to the music centre. ~ Well, why didn't
you ask me?
Well can also serve to introduce important information:
You know I've been seeing a lot of Eddie lately? ~ Hmm. ~
Well, we're going to get engaged.
Oh well!
If you say oh well, you are saying that you accept the situation
as it is, even though you are not very happy about it:
I'm afraid you'll have to pull out of the trip to Greece. ~
Oh well, it doesn't matter.
I'm afraid I forget to save that document and now I've lost
it. ~ Oh well, it can't be helped. I'll just have to re-type
you want to practise your English by writing some sentences, here's
a task.
Watch or record the interviews with correspondents in the news broadcasts
on BBC World and notice how often they use well to
gain time before replying. Here is an example:
So what's in store now that George Bush has got a free hand
in Congress? ~ Well, domestically I think he'll push for
more tax cuts and internationally he'll look for a toughly worded
resolution from the UN.
Then list them on our
Board in the You, Me and Us part of our
sentences will be corrected!

About the Program
The Bachelor of Professional Studies (BPS) is a degree completion program. This program is designed to meet the needs of working adults from a wide variety of academic backgrounds, by offering classes in convenient formats, including hybrid and online classes. The BPS offers concentrations in Applied Communication, Organizational Leadership and Management, Healthcare and Medical Services Management, and Project Management.
The concentration in Organizational Leadership and Management is designed for leaders and managers. The ability to lead and harness talent within one's team is essential in for-profit and non-profit organizations as well as in civic oriented organizations. Learn to recognize the diverse talents and perspectives of members of your team and leverage those talents and ideas to help the team, the organization and each individual excel and prosper. Leadership development is a critical skill in today's workforce, and those skills are transferable to multiple organizational settings.
The concentration in Applied Communication emphasizes communication techniques that can be applied in a wide variety of work, personal, and social situations.
Communication is about how people use messages to generate meanings across various contexts in an ethical, clear, concise, and comprehensive way and often involves persuading and motivating an audience to take action. Communication can also be used to elicit crucial hidden information, a useful skill in job interviewing or law enforcement. Businesses use communication of information as part of an overall business strategy. On a smaller scale, communication occurs in small groups and is affected by power relationships between various individuals. In these situations it is important to observe and properly interpret non-verbal cues in order to minimize miscommunication and conflict.
This concentration is a good fit for individuals who work in the healthcare industry in clinical professions, but are interested in expanding into managerial aspects of the industry. It is also an excellent fit for anyone working in managerial aspects of any healthcare organization of any size who seek formal credentials and/or documentation of their expertise. Students in this concentration will gain an understanding of healthcare industry structure, health care finance, operations management, the laws and regulations that govern healthcare operations, and leadership.
As global organizations grow in complexity, team and project-based methods have become an increasingly vital component of the workplace. Although the business services and manufacturing industries have traditionally supported the majority of project management positions, the demand for project management practitioners is expanding across industry: 70% of the organizations surveyed in a 2011 Project Management Institute (PMI) study, reported hiring individuals engaged in project or program management. Twenty percent of all jobs that require a bachelor's degree also require applicants to have certification or licensure in a given skill-area; with project management certification being particularly desirable.

On Saturday night a group of friends sat around this fire and "connected". We are hotdogs and drank hot cocoa and laughed so hard at the stories we shared. This is connection to me, having deep conversations, whether around a fire or not.
You can't see us, but we are there, sitting in our chairs talking about the things on our minds, the good, the bad, the ugly. It's what true connection is. Being able to talk about your week with honesty and not feeling any shame…
Have a blessed day!

While the move had largely been priced in on Monday for Asian markets, regional bourses look set to take the lead from overnight markets.
Despite Washington being caught up with matters related to a disclosure report on President Donald Trump, US markets largely gained from the softer dollar and the boost in crude oil prices. This had triggered a new wave of buying interests which once again saw the likes of the S&P 500 and NASDAQ printing fresh all-time highs. A breakdown of the S&P 500 index by sectors finds the materials, financials and energy sectors leading gains on the index after being weighed just last week.
The talk of the town had been news of Russia and Saudi Arabia being keen to support a nine-month extension to the output cut for crude oil. For the market, this has been a substantially new development with only a six-month renewal previously expected. The 25th May formal OPEC meeting next week is however, expected to be the pivot point for prices as sceptics remain within the market.
That said, the rhetoric arriving from OPEC and co. had certainly been on the cooperative end, which is a significant departure from the narratives heard prior to their meeting in late November. WTI futures was last seen trading on either side of $49 per barrel and eyeing the $50/bbl level. Short term trading places focus on the upcoming API report before the official DOE report that had given crude prices a boost just last week.
Meanwhile the US dollar had remained battered in the face weak data. Soft empire manufacturing index for the month of May was seen overnight as the dollar index firmly fell to trade at sub-99.0 levels. This weakness however bodes well for US commodity producers and Asian markets alike. Interests in Asian markets could very likely remain with the sluggish USD in play. The exception of USD/JPY, underpinned by bond yield movements, meanwhile interestingly played to the advantage of the Nikkei 225 as we see the Japanese bourse up 0.6% as of 8:45am Singapore time.

The National Public Health Emergency Team on Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) held their tenth meeting today, 11 January 2018.
The focus of the agenda and items discussed included the status of implementation of specific screening requirements across the Hospital Groups, an update from the Expert Group and the latest figures from the National CPE Reference Laboratory.
The Implementation Team provided an update on the implementation of screening in critical care areas and haematology and transplant wards across the seven HSE Hospital Groups. Six of the seven Hospital Groups have indicated that they have fully implemented screening in these key areas. The South/South West Hospital Group indicated partial implementation with a commitment to full implementation as a priority. The National Public Health Emergency Team will continue to monitor this closely and seek assurances from the HSE in relation to the implementation of CPE screening requirements.
The Chair of the Expert Group, Professor Hilary Humphreys attended the meeting and provided an update on the work of the group. The Expert Group are meeting on a monthly basis and have held two meetings to date.
When discussing the membership of the Expert Group, Professor Humphreys said:
He indicated that the group are in the final stages of their review of the Requirements for screening of patients for CPE in the acute hospital sector and draft Guidance relating to CPE interventions for control of transmission of CPE in the acute hospital sector and plan to sign off on this process at their next meeting in February.
The latest figures from the National CPE Reference Laboratory were presented to the group. In the week from 1st to 7th January 2018 a total of six new patients with CPE were detected.
The minutes of all previous meetings and related documents are published on a dedicated webpage on the Department of Health website.
Carbapenemase Producing Enterobacteriaceae CPE (also referred to as carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE)) is a superbug resistant to most or all antibiotics. It is carried in the bowel and can cause blood stream infection in people who are vulnerable, such as the elderly and those with low immunity.
CPE are gram-negative bacteria that are carried in the gut and are resistant to most, and sometimes all, available antibiotics. CPE are an established threat to human health, particularly in hospital settings. They are shed in the faeces and transmitted by direct and indirect contact. A period of 4 weeks or more may elapse between that contact that results in acquisition of the organism and the time at which CPE becomes detectable in the faeces of the contact. More than half of all patients who develop blood stream infections with CPE die as a result of their infection.
CPE has been identified throughout the world in recent years. Ireland has seen an increase in the number of cases year on year. The number of cases almost doubled in 2016 and is estimated to increase by a further third in 2017. The spread of this superbug in hospitals can lead to the closure of beds, wards and units removing thereby, essential capacity to provide services, to admit patients from Emergency Departments and to address waiting lists effectively.
Public Health and microbiological advice indicates that the opportunity remains for effective interventions to be taken which can protect our patients, protect our hospital capacity from unplanned closures and ultimately lead to a halting or reduction in the spread of this superbug.
A public health emergency is described as any serious or unexpected event, due to an infectious disease, which causes, or threatens to cause, death or serious illness to large sections of the population, an individual region or a specific cohort of individuals and which will have a major impact on the normal functioning of the health system and on society in general.
The Department of Health's National Health Emergency Plan is a plan for activation in the event of a national/large-scale public health emergency in the event of an infectious disease outbreak or similar health issue. The purpose of the plan is to assist all health agencies in the State to respond to a public health emergency in an integrated and co-ordinated manner.
The National Public Health Emergency Team was convened as a result of the activation of the Public Health Emergency Plan, on 25 October 2017, by the Minister for Health (Mr Simon Harris TD) as a public health response to CPE in Ireland.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is resistance of a microorganism to a drug that was originally effective for treatment of infections caused by that microorganism. Resistant microorganisms (including bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites) are able to withstand attack by antimicrobial drugs, such as antibacterial drugs (e.g., antibiotics), antifungals, antivirals, and antimalarials, so that standard treatments become ineffective and infections persist, increasing the risk of spread to others.
The evolution of resistant strains is a natural phenomenon that occurs when microorganisms replicate themselves erroneously or when resistant traits are exchanged between them. The use and misuse of antimicrobial drugs accelerates the emergence of drug-resistant strains. Poor infection control practices, inadequate sanitary conditions and inappropriate food handling encourage the further spread of AMR.
Ireland's National Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance 2017-2020 aims to implement policies and actions to prevent, monitor and combat AMR across the health, agricultural and environmental sectors. Reducing the inappropriate use of antimicrobial medicines, as well as preventing infections and disease, is vital to stop the development and spread of resistant microorganisms.
It provides an overview for the health, agricultural and environmental sectors. It presents key strategic interventions for tackling antibmicrobial resistance in line with World Health Organisation (WHO) requirements across the three sectors. These interventions represent Ireland's commitment to the development and implementation of a holistic, cross-sectoral 'One Health' approach to the problem of antimicrobial resistance.
A healthcare-associated infection (HCAI) is an infection that is acquired after contact with the healthcare services. This is most frequently after treatment in a hospital, but can also happen after treatment in outpatient clinics, nursing homes and other healthcare settings. Healthcare-associated infections that are picked up in hospital are also known as "hospital-acquired infections".

Personal Guarantee with < 20% Ownership?
I am the minority owner of a small business that required a significant SBA loan. A month before closing more money was needed to complete construction & open for business so my partner/lender requested my name on the loan. Now that the loan is at risk of default I have the most exposed assets. My question is should I have been required to become a co borrower even though the business plan the bank clearly states my minority ownership of 15%? Do I have legal grounds to have my personal guarantee removed?3 Replies
Dock David TreeceMember1 year, 6 months ago
Hi Marcus,
Thanks for the question. If you already signed a personal guarantee on your SBA loan, it'd probably be pretty tough to have it taken off. However, there are a few notes.
First, one of the big things that make SBA loans so attractive is that the SBA guarantees a portion of your loan. This means that – if your company were to default – you and your partners probably wouldn't be personally responsible for the full loan amount. The amount that the SBA guarantees varies, so you'd need to check your loan documents.
Another item to consider is whether your current loan is in default because your business is struggling or for other reasons. For example, if one of your partners misappropriated loan funds, that may be cause for you to disclaim responsibility for the loan.
If, however, your business is actually doing well and you are falling behind on SBA loan payments for other reasons (a bad payment schedule, for example), then you might consider arranging new financing to pay off the old loan and move forward. You might also try contacting the SBA for a loan adjustment, but the odds of getting much relief probably aren't that great.
Sorry to hear about your recent troubles. If you want to look at different kinds of SBA loans to see whether refinancing may be a good option, be sure to check out our article on the 6 Types of SBA Loans here: https://fitsmallbusiness.com/types-of-sba-loans/
Jason MilleisenParticipant10 months ago
Hi Marcus,
I realize this question is from 8 months ago, but your question is a common one, so hopefully others that read this answer will get the information they need.
Regarding your question about having legal grounds to remove your guarantee because you were only a 15% owner, I don't think that's going to hold much water. A lender has the right to require a guarantee of any employee or manager of the company regardless of their ownership percentage. While it is true that the SBA requires any owner of 20% or more to personally guarantee, it doesn't mean that they can't require someone who has less ownership if they are important to the success of the business.
I also wanted to make mention of something else that is critically important here. In his answer above, Dock is incorrect about how an SBA guarantee works. This is a misconception that I see from time to time. I've even written an entire article about it here
An SBA guarantee does NOT relieve you of personal obligation if you sign a personal guarantee. All that a 70% SBA guarantee means is that the lender is reimbursed for 70% of the loan balance at the time of default. It has no bearing on what you owe. So if the loan you take is defaulted on, anyone who personally guaranteed will be liable.
I hope this helps future people who see this post, as understanding what you are signing up for with an SBA is very important. It's one thing to understand the risks and accept them. It's quite another to have no idea what the risks are.

Knack Fab is a very close knit group of people that work very well together. As a company, we are very fortunate to have such a creative and hard working core of people to build and grow upon. Below is the list of those people and something that we feel is worthy of bragging about.
Owner and C.E.O.
Matthew Jones
The extensive fabrication background and creative initiative that Matt possesses is matched by very few others. Matt started showing artistic traits at a young age and looked for ways to express himself in many different venues. He was never satisfied with just one creative outlet. He not only dabbles in a select few outlets, he has become accomplished in most everything he shows interest in. From becoming a published photographer to
building award winning custom show cars, Matt has excelled in many areas. He is married to an incredible woman that is far from average. They have huge hearts and have a passion for traveling the world and doing what they can to make it a better place to live for the unfortunate.
Amber Jones
There are not very many people out there that are like Amber. She is one of those people that you could easily describe as someone that "loves out loud". Affecting the underprivileged in our world is what she seems to thrive on the most. From being a counselor at a camp for physically abused children to volunteering at a center of hope for the intercity children of Pittsburgh, she just seeks to make a difference.
Amber grew up in NC for the most of her life and still
lives in Winston Salem, NC with her husband of 5+ years. She
loves animals of all kinds and has a dream of helping orphans in third world countries.
Shop Foreman
Kyle Jones
This is one very honest and very hard working individual. His fabrication background started in the airplane industry and his passion and knowledge for building quality items grew from there. He now runs the day to day shop and makes sure that all items are produced and shipped out in the highest quality and a timely fashion.
While in the aerospace industry, he built a strong working knowledge of not only the right tec
and equipment to use for the job, but he was held to some of the highest quality standards of any fabrication industry in the world. That quality standard has been continued into the furniture industry here at Knack Fab.
Technical Adviser
David Icenhour
David has done only one thing professionally his whole life, fabricate metal. He has 36 years and counting in the metal fabrication field. Many individuals and companies in the metal industry consider David a master metal worker. He is not the most artistic person, just very practical and creative at making designs work. There are many designers out there that draw up furniture plans that just can not be built practically to work as designed. David can take those designs and come up with a way to flat out make things work.
David does not work for Knack Fab, he is just often in the loop on how a certain design can come together and accomplish what it is meant to do. He lends advice and is a very large part of the success of this company.
Wise Counsel
Matthew Peterson
We strongly believe that there are individuals that have gone before us and have learned valuable lessons. We are very open to heed the advise of those individuals that have gone through trails and have handled them in the right way and have come out the other side. Matthew Peterson is that individual for us here at Knack Fab.
Among founding and running a not-for-profit organization that helps provide clean drinking water for people all over Africa, Matthew has worked in the intelligence side of the U.S. government and currently is the head pastor of a thriving church in North Carolina. He is easily one of the most amazing people we have had the honor of meeting. His reputation and his visible love for the world around him speak for themselves and let you know of the real character that dwells inside of him.
Matthew is an extremely wise man and has a very honest and true insight when it comes to making business decisions. Here at Knack Fab, we do not take his advise lightly. Every decision we are faced with and every change in direction that the company takes is first laid on his desk. He is a very vital part of this company and truly helps keep us on the right track. We strive to keep our focus on not just making good quality furniture, but knowing that we can also choose to do the right thing and help change our world for the better.

Gov Rochas Okorocha Begs Court to Restrain EFCC From Arresting Him After Hand Over on May 29
Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has approached the Federal High Court in Abuja, seeking an order to restrain security agencies in the country from arresting him.
Okorocha told the court that some chieftains of the All Progressives Congress, APC, led by its Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, are instigating the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to move against him.
Consequently, he prayed the court to enforce his fundamental human rights which he said was under threat.
Okorocha told the court that his travail started after he opposed the emergence of some persons as leaders of the ruling APC.
He said his adversaries in the party had since instigated the EFCC to hound him and his family members, saying they were equally behind the reason the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, refused to issue him with a certificate of return after being declared the winner of the last election in lmo West Senatorial District.
Responding to the suit, the DSS, through its counter- affidavits filed on its behalf by G. O. A. Agbadua, faulted Okorocha's claims and denied planning to arrest either the governor or members of his family.
The DSS said it was not aware or part of any plan to arrest the Okorochas.


text: April 11, 2014 at 5:00 AM Skin in the game: Talking race, culture and multi-colored lockers Posted by Claudia Rowe Julie Breidenbach New schools don't crop up every day. So watching the formation of Fairmount Elementary, scheduled to open this September in West Seattle, has been instructive. Parents may assume the most difficult tasks would be selecting a curriculum, and hiring the right teachers. Not so, says Julie Breidenbach, a Seattle School District veteran and current principal at Thurgood Marshall Elementary, selected for this weighty job. Actually, it's the little things: Making sure that student lockers are in different colors, so that kids who can't yet count can still find theirs; ensuring a child-friendly system for communication with parents. What follows — a free-wheeling conversation with Fairmount's new principal — is the third installment of "Skin in the Game," an occasional series tracking the birth of Seattle's newest school. Q: You've collected a pretty active group of parents already. How do you juggle their concerns as community members with your own ideas for what Fairmount needs? A: It's a big emotional investment, where your child goes to school, so that doesn't surprise me. There are some certain things that educators do, and certain things parents do and sometimes these things overlap — a bit. But I've learned over the years to set some very clear boundaries. Time is finite and there are things I'm not going to waste a lot of time discussing, like uniforms. 'No' means no. Q: You're considered a strong supporter of education for gifted students. But a lot of people around here feel that Seattle's Accelerated Progress Program, with its vast majority of white children, is little more than racial segregation.

Addiction recovery isn't only a matter of kicking the habit and getting drugs or alcohol out on the system. Whilst detoxing is an element of the procedure, it's not really also close to being the entire story of addiction recovery. If you or someone you love is definitely working through recovery, you'll want to know more regarding the total process.
Getting the drugs or alcohol out of your respective program and cleaning the body, restoring it to a continuing state of normalcy, is a piece of addiction recovery. It's a critical initial step, and it can be demanding incredibly. The addict is grappling with a host of issues which includes physical compulsions to return to compound abuse induced simply by the addiction. Additionally , the physical body, which usually is now accustomed to the drug's existence, can rebel against the absence in what could be a painful process.
Many addicts encounter psychological addiction furthermore to, or host to, physical addiction. Retraining the mind to live without the chemicals can be difficult extremely. Other psychological elements play a function in the process. People are forced to grapple with a range of thoughts and emotions during addiction recovery. Whilst cathartic and an essential step toward general well-being, this can be psychologically draining and/or quite challenging for many people to take care of. A range of emotional and emotional elements enter the picture since recovery progresses and one really understands the character of their past actions and their consequences and also the difficulties that will prove in their new medication and alcohol-free lifestyle.
This is an overlooked element of addiction recovery often. Their spiritual lifestyle is straight affected by addiction and regaining some feeling of spirituality is definitely an essential weapon in the arsenal utilized to combat relapse. Twelve-step programs are structured, in large measure, on the notion of a higher power for a good reason. Those whom develop and foster their spiritual aspect are more likely to successfully go around the treacherous seas of addiction recovery. While this doesn't constantly take the form of traditional religious involvement, people who do involve themselves in some kind of spiritual fellowship might find the road to recovery at least somewhat easier than those who have do not.
Recovering from an addiction isn't a basic process. It requires physical, spiritual and mental components. If you do not understand the impact that the addiction has on most three levels and exactly how they relate to addiction recovery, it's tough to fully understand the problem that someone who can be newly clean encounters.
Our present alcoholic recovery services is to focus on acute treatment rather than persistent health problems. It focuses on an Unitary Syndrome model in which the sole gun of treatment response or achievement is definitely specific symptom-reduction. Health care consumers are increasingly promoting for a multidimensional model that takes into account a range of life-functioning websites that influence patient treatment progress. Evidenced-based meta-analysis studies also purport the prognostic power of life-functioning factors to anticipate result as well as their importance for treatment preparation over an unitary model that has had small empirical support. Accurate medical diagnosis is also influenced by a comprehensive multidimensional evaluation process along with the feasible help of a multidisciplinary treatment team strategy. Behavioral Medicine professionals have come to recognize that although a problem may be primarily physical or primarily emotional in nature, it is always a disorder of the whole person – not just of the physical body or the mind.

Happy Hump Day, friends! I hope everyone's week is off to a fabulous start and weekend plans are looking bright. Sorry for missing last week's Wedding Wednesday post – it's back on its regular schedule program starting now.
Today's wedding post is all about helpful resources. With the wedding industry blowing up the past few years there are a ton of different places to look for insight and inspiration, from websites to blogs to books. You could spend hours upon hours of your time looking through all these different resources, many of which have the same information just laid out in a different format. That's where I'm hoping to help with some of my favorite resources that aided in my planning.
Where to start?
I think the first thing every newly engaged bride should do is start herself a wedding binder that she can use to keep track of everything wedding related. Some items I recommend putting in your binder:
- Wedding Timeline, Checklist and Vendor Worksheets (contacts, contract information, payment details, etc.)
- Russell and Hazel has an awesome printable template from its site. Buy yourself a cute three-ring binder and assemble in any order you want
- eleGALA also has another printable template that you can print directly from its site. I don't like the layout of this template as much but I think there's some useful information from the planner
- If you are looking a pre-assembled binder, The Knot just came out with a great planner
- Page protectors
- These will come in helpful to store all of your ideas and inspiration, from color swatches to tear outs from magazines an ideas you may have printed off the internet.
- Tabs
- You'll want to keep organized by subject, so here are some ideas for labeling your tabs:
- Ceremony – church or venue contract, flower arrangements, song choices, musician contracts, important marriage documents
- Reception – venue contracts, catering menus, decor inspiration, seating charts
- Stationery – Save the Dates, invitations, RSVPs, Reception cards, direction cards, place cards, programs, thank you's
- Bakery, Florist, Favors, Attire – contracts and inspiration
- DJ – contract, song choices
- Accommodations – contract with hotels, welcome bag lists, room reservations for wedding night
- Miscellaneous – details that fit into one of these other categories
- You'll want to keep organized by subject, so here are some ideas for labeling your tabs:
- Blank pages for comments, notes, etc.
Now that you have everything together for your planning binder, let's start talking inspiration resources. Below are my favorite websites [non-blogs] to reference for inspiration:
- The Knot – I love The Knot because there is so much to look at and reference. I used this site a lot when planning my wedding for vendors as well as ideas for centerpieces, music ideas, etc.
- Minnesota Bride – Because my wedding was located in Minnesota, this was a great local resource for planning. They had a ton of information on local vendors, a lot of featured real weddings [great inspiration for checking out what other brides have done with your venue or who had a similar vision]. If you are not local to Minnesota, this is site might not be quite as helpful, but it's still a great resource if you're looking to get everyday inspiration.
- Loverly – This site is similar to Pinterest only it's only for wedding inspiration. I really like that you can search by color, topic [centerpiece, reception, flowers, etc.] and it finds posts from around the blogosphere that match up to that search. It returns in the form of photos that match your search criteria and then allows you to reference the entire blog post to so you can see the event as a whole.
- Pinterest – Of course I could never forget Pinterest. This was one of my favorite resources when planning my wedding because of the endless amount of photos that turn up. I love that you can save your inspiration to different boards based on category. I'm pretty sure I had like 12 boards for just my wedding alone – feel free to check them out here. The downside, which I'm sure many of you have experienced, is that the links are sometimes broken and you can't view the entire content.
My favorite blogs that I reference, and still do, are below:
- Style Me Pretty – I consider this to be the mecca of all wedding blogs. The weddings they feature are just beautiful and the site is just so easy to maneuver through. I love the little stories that accompany each wedding feature so you get to know the couple a little better and get to understand their process. Extremely helpful for brides planning their own weddings.
- DIY Bride – I really liked this site because I knew I wanted to have some DIY elements to my big day. Not only can DIY projects save you money, but they allow you to put your own personal touch on your wedding. DIY projects aren't for everyone, but if you think you'll want to put a little DIY touch on your day, be sure to check out this site to get plenty of inspiration!
- Every Last Detail – Another great blog that features real weddings, tips and advice for brides planning their weddings.
- Emmaline Bride – This quickly became one of my favorite blogs to follow because of all the unique tips and ideas. It's another great resource for brides who are looking to have some DIY touches on their day and the topics cover a wide range of wedding topics – from asking your bridesmaids to be part of your day to easy centerpiece projects to music ideas.
There are many, many books and magazines out there to reference, too. Magazines are fun, but you can often find a lot of the same content on blogs. The Knot puts out a local magazines every few months that feature real weddings, which I think is super to fun to look at. I also subscribed to Martha Stewart Weddings but later found myself not really looking through it.
What are you favorite wedding blogs and sites to look at? What tips do you have to stay organized?

Books You Couldn't Finish Reading
Here are mine.
Books You Couldn't Finish Reading/Most Unreadable Thing You've Read:
1. To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf. Had it as a prescribed text for my masters. Tried about four times to read it and each time gave up after the first few pages. Couldn't even read the summary from a "guide" that a kind friend offered me. That's one book that has put me off all stream of consciousness fiction.
2. The Ground Beneath her Feet by Salman Rushdie. He should have stopped after Haroun and the Sea of Stories.
3. The Bleak House by Charles Dickens. The first page and a half where Dicken paints for us a picture of the chancery rising through the thick, swirling London fog is amongst the best in literature. Sadly after that you've to plod through the rest of the novel . . . and there's so much of it. I think, I read about half of it. And yes, it was a prescribed text for my masters (Why is it that some of the most boring books are prescribed for literature studies? I haven't come across a single university in India [haven't checked the syllabi of universities abroad] that discuss Wodehouse. . . and I am sure he is one of the most read authors in the english reading world.[Here's an earlier post on Wodehouse.])
4. Thomas Hardy. Any of his works. I know I will get pilloried here but I find him too depressing. Even more depressing than the Russians who have made the gloomy their specialty. I think we had Tess of the D'Urbervilles for the masters course (come to think of it, I wonder how I managed to finish my masters. It seems to be packed with the most depressing books one could ever find).
5. How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. A good number of my friends swear by it. I tried reading it twice but gave up. Maybe it is my inherent bias against the self-help genre, but I haven't been able to finish reading a single of all the self-help books that I borrowed (realized very early in my life that these are one type of books I should never buy).
What about you? Which ones did you find a torture to read?

I too found Ground beneath her feet pretty boring. But some others found it very interesting. Check the comment here for instance. Hardy: I liked reading The Mayor of Casterbridge.

Here's my list of books I couldn't finish reading-
1. Wisdom of the West by Bertrand Russell
It is quite an interesting book and Russell has gone into quite some detail about the origin of philosophy and religion. But somehow, even after 3-4 attempts, I seem unable to finish over a hundred pages.
2. Thriving on Chaos by Peter Drucker
I picked up this book because, because, because.....I guess that's what happens when you buy a book just because everyone else is reading it.
3. Principles of Marketing by Philip Kotler
I know I'll probably be ostracised by my b-school colleagues if and when they read this, but it's true; I never could finish this book.
Special mention - All my engineering textbooks..
- Sat Jun 04, 01:46:00 PM
- debangana said...
Thomas Hardy's Return of the Native (had this text for my BA, first year) and Rushdie's Shalimar the Clown....and have told you why.
- Tue May 29, 01:39:00 PM
- anantvijay said...
definitely catch 22....cudnt go further than 4 pages before goin to sleep........
- Thu Jun 28, 05:03:00 PM
- Becky said...
There have been a few for me - Catch 22 is definitely one, and so is An Equal Music by Vikram Seth. I can't read anything by Keri Hulme either, she's hard work.
- Fri Aug 21, 07:36:00 AM
- mandar talvekar said...
Hi Becky,
it is surprising how often people cite Catch 22 as an impossible read. One of my office friends insists she couldn't go beyond a few pages. I, on the other hand, loved it.
- Sun Aug 23, 09:41:00 PM
I was required to read Hardy and Solzhenitsyn for my English GCSE and I loved them both.
And Catch-22 is one of my favourite books ever, but I failed to complete it a few times, and I'm not surprised other people also fail. Many people will struggle with a book that uses a non-linear timeline without ever acknowledging it.

In this third part of a four part series we are going to look at Quadrant 3 in the diagram, where the project management process maturity levels are low and it aids the contract negotiation process.
In each part of this series I discuss one of the four quadrants in the diagram including both perspectives from the procuring organisation as well as the supplier in the negotiation process, as there are different impacts depending on which perspective you are.
It is also worth noting that the way that each organisation – procurer or supplier are perceived may also be different based on the industry in which the organisations operate. The size, stability and tenure of the organisation will play a part in the maturity of its processes.
Low project management maturity within the procuring organisation
When the procuring organisations project management maturity is low this could mean that the organisation is more able to adapt and change on the run, in relation to offerings proposed by the supplier organisation where they do not necessarily fit the box prescribed. The procuring organisation may be more 'agile' in their approach.
This will have a flow on affect in that the contracting process will be less expensive to administer.
Aids the procuring organisations negotiation process
This will have a positive impact on the procuring organisations negotiation process as it means they are more likely to take on a less expensive supplier who is more willing to work in an agile way with them. The nature of the negotiation process may be more informal and less tied down in process. This again ties back to the lower cost of administration of the negotiation process.
Low project management maturity processes within the supplier organisation
If there is low project management maturity within the supplier organisation this can have one of two impacts. It may mean that the organisation is more nimble and agile and could ensure more creative ways of working with procuring organisations.
Or, it may mean that there is total disorganisation around the tendering process which means less likelihood of completeness in the process of putting together a tender or quote request. This would be to the detriment of the supplier organisation.
Aids the supplier organisations negotiation process
Where the organisation is nimble and more agile, there is more likelihood of matching the procuring organisation and therefore ability to negotiation for stronger win/win outcomes for both parties.
There is more likely to be give and take for the procuring organisation in supplying to the contracting organisation.
Where the supplier organisations processes are immature this can leave room for manoeuvring and playing the 'hidden' cost card with the supplier organisation. The supplier organisation can go into the negotiation with a base set of costs, knowing full well that full disclosure hasn't taken place, and allows for further negotiation to take place as these costs are uncovered.
Overall outcomes
Low project management maturity processes aid contract negotiating to the benefit of both organisations where both organisations are nimble or agile and willing to work for the benefit of each. The impact of this is that it most likely sets up a Win/Win scenario for both organisations.
Where the low project management maturity processes exist within the supplier organisation this leaves room for negotiation in favour of the supplier organisation to take place to the detriment of the procuring organisation therefore creating and Lose/Win scenario.

Catholic holy days of obligation are the days on which Catholics are obligated to go to Mass. This list includes every single Sunday, along with a few additional days. Some feasts, such as Easter, are always celebrated on a Sunday, so they are always obligatory. But when are you supposed to attend Mass outside of Sundays?
US Catholic Holy Days of Obligation for 2019
The Code of Canon Law of the Catholic Church says that there are nine holy days of obligation other than Sundays, but it also says that the local conference of bishops can suppress some of them or transfer them to a Sunday. Bishops in the United States have suppressed the feast of Saint Joseph and the feast of Saints Peter and Paul as holy days of obligation. In addition, the feast of Epiphany is always celebrated on a Sunday in the U.S., leaving us with six remaining days.
The following are holy days of obligation in the U.S. for 2019:
- Solemnity of Mary, January 1
- Ascension of Jesus, May 30 — Celebrated on the sixth Thursday after Easter Sunday
- Feast of the Assumption, August 15
- Solemnity of All Saints, November 1
- Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, December 8
- Christmas, December 25
*An individual bishop can also transfer a holy day to a Sunday. This is the case in most US dioceses with the Ascension of the Lord, which is transferred to the Seventh Sunday of Easter. Check with you local diocese.
To make sure you don't miss Mass on these special days, add our Google Calendar with the Catholic Holy Days of Obligation for 2019 to your personal Google Calendar. Check out this resource if you have any trouble adding the calendar.Get the Calendar
And don't forget to tune into the live stream of our mid-day mass at St. Clement Shrine at 12:10 p.m. ET every weekday.
There are a few exceptions to those obligations. If the Solemnity of Mary, the Feast of the Assumption or the Solemnity of All Saints falls on a Saturday or Monday, the obligation is lifted and those feasts are celebrated on that Sunday. We'd still encourage you to attend Mass on those days, but it would not be considered a holy day of obligation.
Hawaiians also handle Catholic holy days of obligation a bit differently. Since 1992, the only observed holy days of obligation (except Sundays) are the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Christmas.
An Additional Celebration for Oblates
The Oblates of the Virgin Mary have an additional celebration relating to the Virgin Mary, the feast of the Holy Name of Mary on September 12. And on this day, we renew our vows and dedication to Our Lord and Our Lady.
"In his life of consecration an Oblate should remember that, just as God continuously calls him to the intimacy of love, equally constant must be his generous and faithful response. He should therefore frequently examine his fidelity in collaborating with God who works within him. In this spirit it is convenient to renew the consecration even with the whole community in the celebration of the solemnity of the Most Holy Name of Mary, September 12. On the same day they also renew with the whole community their act of entrustment to Our Lady."
— Norm 12.1 of our Rule
A Story From Father Mark, OMV
Before making their final vows, Oblate seminarians generally make temporary vows one year at a time for a total of about four years, renewing them each year on the feast of the Holy Name of Mary on September 12. However, it generally works out better for Oblates' academic schedules to celebrate their very first profession of vows during the month of August. This meant that the following year there was often a gap of a few weeks when they would be without vows ahead of the big Holy Name of Mary celebration where all Oblates renew their vows.
"I made my first profession of vows on August 22, the memorial of the Queenship of Mary. This meant that one year later on August 22, I had to renew my vows for 21 days to get me through to September 12, on which date I would renew my vows for a year at a time thereafter.
We needed two Oblates to witness the renewal of my vows for this brief period, and so we grabbed the closest two Oblates we could find and brought them up to the Church. They happened to be the Rector Major, who was in charge of all the Oblates in the world and who happened to be visiting our community at the time, and the Provincial, who was in charge of all the Oblates in the United States. My sister was also visiting at the time, together with the foundress of her religious community, and they asked if they could come too.
As I began to recite my vows, I was struck by the incongruity of it all—being in that beautiful Church in the presence of the Rector Major, the Provincial, the foundress of a women's religious community and a family member vowing poverty, chastity, and obedience — for 21 days!
Thankfully, a norm has since been added to our Rule that allows us to make our first profession of vows from the current date until the feast of the Holy Name of Mary the following year, thus avoiding this situation in the future."

I'm not saying I would totally hate being famous and want nothing to do with it BUT I would LOVE to have cool friends. Like I want to be the friend that you know is down with you. When you are accepting the Grammy you just won, I'm the friend that hits you with that text like:
"Aye, Bish, you look funny on TV tho. You forgot to slick down your naps in the back too."
And you could reply, "Mannnn shut yo' a** up. You still rolling to the afterparty tho, cuz?"
I'm all like, "Hell yea. I been sitting outside waiting. You need to take this car back and get that other interior we looked at. This sh*t is for the birds."
"How the hell you get my car?"
"You know damn well I told you I knew Jarell, the valet dude. This jawn nice tho. Where you at? We aint time for long speeches and ish, we gotta beat traffic. Shidddd, better take that trophy to go."
So, will you be my cool friend? Can we be hipster bandits who crash parties, eat cake by the ocean, and stay woke? We can skip the Grammy speeches and get straight to the chase. Cause you know LA traffic have the city slow 😉

Well, it seems we have made it through the storm and after today, it looks like we may be able to refocus on our week…and that includes Halloween. Weeks before the holiday hits, stores everywhere stock up from floor to ceiling with candy! Even stores carrying all-natural and local foods stock up on "healthier" versions of the most favorite sweets. And as a vegan, all these treats can be quite a tease. About 4-5 years ago, Halloween was a dread for vegans who had very little access to vegan candies and sweets minus the chocolates that you may have been able to purchase online…if you knew about them.
I remember my very first Halloween as a vegan. I was still new to the whole vegan thing and so my thought process was, if it wasn't obviously vegan, think fruit, vegetables and whole grains, then it wasn't and I shouldn't touch it. And I didn't. Plus I had mad will power and determination to stick to my vegan lifestyle…temptation didn't faze me. The next year I was better prepared. I had discovered PETA's vegan candy list and you bet I stole a few pieces while going through my daughter's stash. Soon after, veganism was beginning to become more mainstream and small businesses everywhere were popping up, creating and offering candy that was delicious and best of all, vegan friendly. Vegan dreams had been turned into reality…
So if you're a new vegan, vegcurious or even a rawsie, rest assure this Halloween you will NOT be left eating apple slices and extremely dark chocolate..that's of course, if you can get to the store within the next 24 hours seeing as this post is a bit behind and well, Halloween is tomorrow night. Sorry… :)
Vegan candy everywhere…what, what, what to eat!?
You have two options: buy your treats or make your treats.
If you prefer to buy:
For those looking for the candy that will bring on feelings of nostalgia and past memories of dressing up as a power ranger or princess and throwing up from downing too many sweets from your pillow case, then take a peek at PETA's candy list and have away with your favorites (Psst…Skittles have recently gone vegan!!). This list may be a bit old so check the ingredients list before digging in just to be sure. Don't want to end up learning you just downed a bag of treats made with boiled down animal bones (gelatin) or beetle juice (confectioner's glaze)…eww. But what about my favorite chocolates you ask? You mean Almond Joys, Reese Cups and Snickers? Haha well Go Max Go has you covered!
I was recently blessed with the opportunity to receive and try all the candy bars currently available from Go Max Go, including a prototype that isn't yet available in stores, and boy was I in candy bar heaven! In order to save myself from a few extra pounds because I knew for a fact I would eat them all in one day, I kindly split each one in half and shared with Ms. K. We determined that the best one was by far the prototype, Thumbs Up, which is meant to be a vegan version of the Butterfinger: crunchy, sweet and salty and peanut buttery with just a thin layer of chocolate on the outside. Butterfinger lovers rejoice!!! Ms. K was ticked when I told her it was not yet available; apparently half wasn't enough. As for the other candy bars, here they are in order of appearance in the photo above.
- Mahalo - You guessed it! The vegan sister of Almond Joy! I totally love this name better! It was very similar from what I remember Almond Joys to taste like: tons of coconut with a bite of almond and chocolate. Seriously, it takes a lot to turn me away from coconut and chocolate, so there was no doubts I loved every bite of this one.
- Snap! – Love crunch? Grab a Snap! This is the only actual chocolate bar within this line of candy so of course it was a nice change in taste and texture from the rest of them. I have to say, I think this is actually better than a crunch bar. Not too sweet, perfectly crunchy and the chocolate actually melts in your mouth. I was never a fan of Crunch Bars, but this one I surprisingly enjoyed!
- Buccaneer – This one I just couldn't put my finger on. Chocolate coated chocolate nougat? Anyone? I'm not a fan of nougat candies so I wasn't shocked when the first bite didn't excite my taste buds. But we all like different things right? This one may for you!
- Twilight – Okay, I'm geeked over the name of it, but the taste? Again, not a fan. This time, it was a chocolate coated caramel and vanilla nougat candy bar. I want to say it reminded me a bit of Rolos. The caramel made it sticky and chewy which was quite fun to eat through. I mean seriously, who doesn't love a candy that makes your jaw hurt and teeth stick!?
- Joker – Another nougat!? Yes, but this one has nougat, caramel AND peanuts!! Yes, my friends, a vegan Snickers bar. Chewy, sticky, crunchy, sweet and salty with a light chocolate coating…the Joker was actually my second favorite! Seriously, this one is a MUST grab!
- Cleo – Peanut butter cups…shall I say more? The peanut butter was quite creamy and there was a good ratio between peanut butter and chocolate. As a peanut butter addict, this one passed with ease.
- And of course, there lies the Thumbs Up…oh how I wished I would have savored you more.
As a product junkie I do have a few more I HAVE to recommend…
Love Peanut Butter Cups? Yeah I know Go Max Go has one but so does Justin's and I am a loyal customer (stalker and addict) of Justin's Nut Butters. The dark chocolate peanut butter cups were my go to last Halloween and the Chocolate Peanut Butter is even better…it's like they just took a billion mini Reese cups, melted them down and made an addicting spread that has been the demise of my waist line for the past 2 years. *Sigh* it's impossible to cut the love between a girl and her nut butters…just have to live with it. So yeah grab one ;)
Want gummies? I adore Annie's fruit gummies! They are not as chewy as the gummies you may be used to, but I love the super fruity flavors! Surf Sweets and Sharkies also make vegan gummies that are quite tasty…although Sharkies are more designed to be sports bites but hey you need energy to get through all that trick or treating right!?
Lollipops? Forget Halloween, keep Yummy Earths lollipops stashed in your drawers for anytime a sweet tooth craving comes along or when you feel the midday crash is about to hit. These are by far the absolute best organic lollipops on the market. I recommend buying a big bag if you plan on sharing…
I just want chocolate! Okay, okay, you're easy…if that is the case I recommend Nibmor's. Nibmor's chocolate bars have a unique flavor that isn't present in just any chocolate bar. The cocoa really sticks out in a way that is desirable. In addition, they make a mean vegan chocolate cocoa mix made with just cocoa, coconut palm sugar and sea salt. Goodbye to the days when I had to pull out all the ingredients and whisk the cocoa til my arms burned! Thank you Nibmor gals! Why not make some hot cocoa and enjoy your chocolate in sips. Make it last :)
I am also purely, madly addicted to stone ground chocolate as well. Trader Joe's sells an organic version that comes in Extreme Dark Chocolate and Salt and Pepper and Taza also makes a variety of flavors, my favorite being the Chipotle Chili. I swear I think it's the texture that has me hooked. Each bite starts out grainy and crunchy and ends creamy. I know it sounds weird but I swear it's the best! I actually have to force myself NOT to buy them because I eat the entire package in a day! It's so bad I know.
Of course, I couldn't have forgotten my rawsies! After all, we have to have our share of nummy sweet treats too right!?
There are tons of raw treats on the market right now and honestly, I'm still making my way through a lot of them. Here are some that I can honestly say I love and support:
Hail Merry's Tarts – OMG! Yes, it's an OMG food. Hail Merry makes the absolute best raw, vegan tarts, the best being the Chocolate Mint! They are so creamy and fudge like and the flavor of chocolate mint is one of my absolute favorites; a combination I have found very hard to find as a vegan. I have fallen madly, deeply, in love with these small little pies that they have become one my absolute must have in my fridge at all times, raw sweet treat. I mean seriously look at the line up! To die for!
Superfood Snacks – Okay, honestly, these little treats deserve their own post, but for now, here's a piece of my undying love. Although these little treats are advertised as an energy snack, the chocolatey taste hands down can make them the healthiest, chocolatey treat for Halloween. If you're looking for something to satisfy your sweet tooth, provide you energy to get you through the 500 kids that will be ringing your doorbell, yet keep your waste slim? Then these are just for you! Unfortunately, they're only available online…and possibly in stores in Hawaii and California, but hey, see this as a heads up for next year…or if you need a new, raw energy snack for your workouts.
Whew, can you tell I have a sweet tooth?
Now, if you have time within the next 24 hours to MAKE your own treats well then I have a treat for you! :) A collage of treats!
Crunchy Peanut Butter Bon Bons!
A few months ago the Spork Sisters shared with the vegan community their awesome, delicious recipe for Crunchy Peanut Butter Bon Bons! As a peanut butter addict, I knew I HAD to make these and I must say this recipe is in definitely in my go to pile…and seriously, there aren't too many recipes in there.
You can find the recipe on Made Just Right (A great vegan community and place to find recipes!). I must note that I normally use fresh ground peanut butter from Whole Foods which ends up being a lot dryer than the creamy peanut butter you buy in a jar. With that, I usually end up adding extra melted butter and only 1 cup of powdered sugar as opposed to the 1 ½ cups the recipe calls for. Also, I make my own bread crumbs which I feel adds a better crunch then store bought ones. As for chocolate chips, Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips are by far my favorite, but Ghirardelli's and Trader Joe's are great options too. Whatever you use, follow your gut. This recipe is very hard to mess up.
In the end, you will end up with a round, crunchy, sweet and salty peanut butter cups…only way better!
Coconut Mounds!
So within my nut butter addiction is a coconut addiction. I'm sure my Filipino genes have something to do with, but whatever it is, I never, ever get sick of the flavor. So no shock I loved Mounds and Almond Joys as a kid. And then I transitioned to a vegan diet and the closest I got to a Mounds bar was eating a mixture of coconut shreds and chocolate chips. But then there was Babycakes…
Two years ago, my family and I went to Disney where I was finally able to visit Babycakes located in Downtown Disney! As most of you may know, Babycakes is a very popular vegan and allergy-free bakery in NYC that makes everything from donuts, to cupcakes, to cookies...ooh and icing shots! It opened up its second shop in Downtown Disney a few years ago and you can only imagine how excited I was to hear that something vegan was being placed in my favoritest most happiest place on earth. Total win-win!
While I was there, I tried their every day offerings of donuts, cookies, icing shots and breads. But one day they offered coconut mounds. Chocolate and coconut!? Together!? I bought one and literally fell back in bliss. It was the candy my vegan heart had been dreaming about for over 3 years. I had to pinch myself to make sure I seriously was tasting what I thought I was tasting! Of course, I ran back over and bought more to eat for later…which never made it to "later"…unless you consider 5 minutes and an hour later. But it was a bittersweet moment because I knew I would never taste them again until my next visit; and even when I visited them 8 months later, the coconut mounds were not waiting. And then a miracle happened…Erin, owner of Babycakes, posted her recipe online! **Awwww** yes heaven's gates opened! I freaked; I shrieked; and I took my butt right to the kitchen to make them!
And wanna know when that happened? Today. Yep, October 30, 2012.
So here is the recipe that I JUST tried. All I did differently was add a raw almond on top before I froze and dipped them in chocolate. All I have to say is…mmmmm. My Halloween this year is officially complete.
Mini Smore's!
Okay this one was a throw together. This morning as my daughter and I made vegan hot chocolate (yep, using Nibmors!) my daughter saw the bag of Dandie's vegan marhsmallows and asked for smore's. Unfortunately, I didn't have any graham crackers but I did have tons of bags of Home Free's Vanilla Cookies...so I thought..Mini Smore's?
I took one cookie, a couple of choco chips, a Dandie marhsmallow, which is perfect in size, stuck it in the microwave for 10 seconds, topped with with another cookie and Voila! Mini smore's!! Awesome right!?
So easy and perfect for tiny fingers..or when that smore's craving hits but all you want is just one or two bites!
As for the cinnamon rolls….let's keep that for another post. You'll need a day to make those. The picture is just there to add to your excuse for drooling.
Well, sorry for such a long post but I hope everyone now has some yummy ideas on how to satisfy those sweet tooth cravings tomorrow! Have a safe and happy Halloween and please share with us what your eating tomorrow night!

Whenever there is talk of an Indian girl getting married, there is this word--adjust. When I was in college, my friends would say, "You're so adjusting, you'll have no problems when you get married."I have heard that bit of dialog repeated with little variation by so many people over so many years. So many of my friends have accepted this adjustment as a fact of their marital lives. Friends who till that point had shown so much spunk and independence. And no, economic dependence or independence, or education or the lack of it seems to have nothing to do with it. It is not only the "housewives" but also the ones who are earning a living for themselves who adjust in a marriage.
I don't know if it is difficult to overturn a practice because everybody is following it? Is it really that difficult to resist years of cultural conditioning? Or is it because the players involved themselves want to take the easy way out -- the path of least resistance?
Do read Sibyl's Indian wives and power.

Picasso and American Art
Whitney Museum
September 28, 2006–January 28, 2007
To a certain degree, Picasso is behind the eight ball in Picasso and American Art, which sets out to demonstrate that for each aesthetic territory staked out by an American painter, Picasso had already been there. "That man missed nothing," in the words of Jackson Pollock, quoted at the exhibition's entrance. While the curator consistently finds Picassos that resemble and antedate works by an array of America's finest painters, from Max Weber through Jasper Johns, getting the right Picasso to make such an exact match means you're inevitably stuck with a lot of minor Picassos.
In "Landscape with Dead and Live Trees" (1919), a small painting in the first room of Picasso and American Art, Picasso really shows his stuff. It's a humble piece, by Picasso's standards, in which a distant village and mountains are seen through dark foreground trees. Picasso shapes the clouds in rhythm with the mountains and extends the drawing of the village architecture into the water and trees with a steady hand that brings the entire painting to a harmonic pitch, each detail vibrating in synch with its surroundings. Though "Landscape with Dead and Live Trees" is as good as nearly any painting in the show, Picasso is outdone elsewhere by the painters who seek to emulate him, most forcefully by Arshile Gorky.
Gorky self-consciously apprenticed himself to Picasso, relentlessly studying and copying his work for many years. He believed that it was only through a mastery of the past—and a painful confrontation with one's predecessors—that one becomes an artist. Despite his self-imposed subservience to the Spanish master, the emotional honesty and fierce clarity of Gorky's "The Artist and His Mother" (1926-36) makes Picasso's blue period look maudlin by comparison and renders its neighbor in the show, Picasso's "Woman in White" (1923), nearly invisible. Two rooms down, Gorky does it again with "Composition with Head" (1936-37), a large, rough-hewn abstraction that overshadows Picasso's "The Studio" (1927-28) and might be seen as a precursor to de Kooning's women. Several of de Kooning's contributions including his exquisite, small studies from the 1930s and his massive "Woman and Bicycle" (1952-53), surpass Picasso as does an exceptionally strange untitled painting by David Smith from 1935.
Picasso was a synthesizer. He explored more diverse territory in less time than nearly any other artist in history. But Pollock was mistaken. He did miss something. What Picasso achieved in breadth, he sacrificed in depth. The emotional poignancy consistently present in an artist like Gorky is often lacking in Picasso. Pollock must have seen in Picasso the versatility that he could never achieve in his own work, but probably failed to recognize that he had achieved what Picasso never could—an ecstatic, transformative breakthrough based on emotive intuition. Though Picasso's cubism did revolutionize painting, it was, as it has been labeled, an analytic function deriving more from a comprehensive understanding of painting than from an existential search such as Gorky's.
The final few rooms of Picasso and American Art are occupied primarily by a battery of formidable paintings by Roy Lichtenstein and Jasper Johns. Johns would entirely command the final room if not for the intrusion of two lack-luster Warhols. It is fitting that Johns, a painter credited with opening almost as many doors as Picasso, should hold forth so strongly at the exhibition's close. Together, Johns and Lichtenstein flesh out the contemporary shape of Picasso's ongoing influence. They are both great synthesizers in their own right; Lichtenstein blends painting's history with popular culture as signified by comic books while Johns integrates personal narrative with an ever changing array of painting idioms. Picasso certainly makes his presence felt in these two painters, but the influence of Gorky is absent. Picasso and American Art suggests that the claims of Gorky's art on subsequent American painting are less forceful than Picasso's. Observing the generally cerebral nature of much contemporary art, one cannot help but sense that this is so and wonder about the reasons why. Though it is clear that an art as sophisticated as Johns' has its attractions, it may be that the psychological burden of an art such as Gorky's is simply more than most people wish to put up with…or dare to.

On November 16, 2017, an underground section of the Keystone Pipeline in northeastern South Dakota spilled over 200,000 gallons of oil. As part of the same pipeline network, the Dakota Access Pipeline had been deemed too hazardous to locate near the local water supply of Bismarck, North Dakota, and so was rerouted beneath the Missouri River upstream from the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation.
