When I spent an hour or so googling various topics related to it, I really got outdated and info all over the board. I stopped playing early after release but I see the devs making strides to fix the problems I had initially. Cool. I got some of my Twitch viewers to give the game a try with me, problem is we don't always stay within the same level range at least early on when leveling is "quicker".
So my question is basically, how can we help each other without penalizing each other? Right now I've like 5 characters across various level ranges just so I can have someone "near" their level when they are on. Not working so well as new people start playing too. If my level 45 wizard parties with a level 20 to run around with them, is this hurting their exp gain? I am not talking about power leveling, or having them stand in a safe zone while I kill level 45 mobs. Just being in a party, running along side while they do their questing and map completion.
Do I need to be within 10 levels of them.. the map.. or does it not matter? Do I need to have them tag first, kill last.. etc. Just need clarification on the general topic. Thanks folks!

There is no restriction to level, you get penalties for the EXP only.

Party leveling
The experience you can gain in a party depends on its composition and how it was made. If you have certain number of unique base jobs (Cleric, Archer, Wizard and Swordsman) or you use the dungeon party finder you receive further experience bonuses. The different combinations of these bonuses are as follows:
Note: Having less than 5 members in the Finder column means you used the dungeon and subsequently lost players. Finder bonus experience is only applicable in dungeons.

Yes indeed,
Lagoon Boy here. Just moved into this tidy little apartment of cyberplace, checking out the amenities, the fresh smell of latex paint, hastily refinished hardwood floors, the hammer left behind in the kitchen cabinet by the refinishers. A Stanley hammer! Good one! Now all I need is a nail.
Oops, that's the doorbell! I'll be right back.

Bsoft is a software package written for image processing of electron micrographs, interpretation of reconstructions, molecular modeling, and general image processing. The code is modularized to allow for rapid testing and deployment of new processing algorithms, while also providing sufficient infrastructure to deal with many file formats and parametric data. The design is deliberately open to allow interchange of information with other image and molecular processing software through a standard parameter file (currently a text-based encoding of parameters in the STAR format) and its support of multiple image and molecular formats. It also allows shell scripting of processes and allows subtasks to be distributed across multiple computers for concurrent processing. Bsoft has undergone many modifications and advancements since its initial release (Heymann, J.B., 2001. Bsoft: image and molecular processing in electron microscopy. J. Struct. Biol. 133, 156–169). Much of the emphasis is on single particle analysis and tomography, and sufficient functionality is available in the package to support most needed operations for these techniques. The key graphical user interface is the program bshow, which displays an image and is used for many interactive purposes such as fitting the contrast transfer function or picking particles. Bsoft also offers various tools to manipulate atomic structures and to refine the fit of a known molecular structure to a density in a reconstruction.

Salisbury, Md. – It was a rough day for the St. Mary's College of Maryland baseball team on Monday as the Seahawks dropped a Capital Athletic Conference doubleheader on the road to No. 3 Salisbury University by scores of 31-12 and 28-0 (7 innings).
St. Mary's (8-16, 5-10 CAC) scored 12 runs on 17 hits, including four extra-base hits, and three Sea Gull errors in the opener. Senior OF Paul Roemer (Westminster, Md./Westminster) paced the Seahawks at the plate with a 3-for-5 effort. Roemer drove in three runs and connected on his second triple of the season while also scoring two.
Salisbury (20-0, 15-0 CAC) notched its 31 runs on 23 hits and nine Seahawk errors. The Sea Gulls collected six extra-base hits, including two home runs. Sophomore SS Pete Grasso (Wilmington, Del./A.I. DuPont) led SU offensively by going 3-for-3 with three RBI and two runs scored.
First-year RHP Matt Wolanin (Annapolis, Md./Annapolis) suffered the loss on the mound as Wolanin (2-2) allowed 14 runs (eight earned) on 11 hits in the first inning of action. Senior Brett Collacchi (Bear, Del./Saint Mark's) improved to 4-0 on the season as Collacchi gave up three runs on six hits in 4.0 innings pitched with two walks and one strikeout.
The nightcap was called after seven innings due to darkness. Sophomore 2B Zach Rowe (Annapolis, Md./Calvert Hall) was the only Seahawk to pick up a hit in the second game with a single up the middle in the third inning. Senior captain Brad Dioguardo (Owings Mills, Md./Franklin) and junior catcher Hayden Ferington (Centreville, Va./Westfield) each drew a walk to reach base.
Salisbury tallied its 28 runs on 25 hits, including 12 extra-base hits, and four Seahawk errors. Senior OF Kyle Hayman (Wilmington, Del./St. Elizabeth) and junior 1B Jake Dmiterchik (Milton, Del./Cape Henlopen) each recorded four hits for the Sea Gulls. Hayman stroked a pair of triples while Dmiterchik had two doubles.
Junior LHP Ben Goldsmith (Ellicott City, Md./Centennial) fell to 1-1 on the season after yielding 13 runs (11 earned) on 10 hits in 2.1 innings with one strikeout and one walk. Grasso (1-0) claimed his first win on the mound as he pitched a complete-game one-hit shutout, striking out eight and walking just two. Grasso helped out his own cause by going 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in the first inning.
The Seahawks hope to return to the win column on Wednesday, April 8th when St. Mary's travels to Fredericksburg, Virginia to take on University of Mary Washington in a single CAC game at 3:30 p.m. The Seahawks will look to complete the sweep over UMW after tagging a 6-2 win at the Hawk's Nest on March 25th.

As a result of Nicco Montaño's weight cut related medical problems forcing the TUF winner to withdraw from her planed UFC 228 title defense against Valentina Shevchenko, the UFC flyweight division once again finds itself in search of a champion.
With Dana White confirming that number one contender Shevchenko is guaranteed a shot at the vacant 125lb gold, one question remains – who will the former bantamweight title challenger face for the belt?
There are a number of viable options open to White and the UFC. I've taken a look at the shortlist of potential suitors below.
Sijara Eubanks (3-2-0)
Flyweight Ranking – 2
Form – WLWLW (excluding TUF exhibition fights)
Last Fight – defeated Lauren Murphy by unanimous decision (UFC Utica)
Sijara Eubanks was one of the stand out performers of TUF 26 and was set to compete with Montaño for the 125lb strap before weight cut related medical issues forced her out of the contest. Her dominant performances on The Ultimate Fighter coupled with a unanimous decision win over Lauren Murphy in her UFC debut earlier this year have left her holding the number two ranking in the division despite only having five professional fights to her name.
'Sarj' is currently scheduled to face Jessica Eye at UFC 232 in December so is unlikely to get the nod to face Shevchenko with all parties involved looking to get a title fight booked before the year is out. Should the UFC opt to put the flyweight title on the line at UFC 232 then I expect Eubanks would be a natural stand in should anything occur with either fighter.
Katlyn Chookagian (11-1-0)
Flyweight Ranking – 3
Form – WWWLW
Last Fight – defeated Alexis Davis by unanimous decision (UFC Calgary)
When news of Montaño's withdrawal began to circulate, Katlyn Chookagian was one of the first to respond, offering to step in and face Shevchenko on 24 hours notice. Unfortunately for all concerned, the 29-year-old wouldn't have been able to make the 125lb limit in the time available.
Chookagian is the only fighter in the conversation carrying a three fight win streak and is 2-0 at flyweight since the division opened. On the face of it, the former bantamweight would be the natural choice to face Shevchenko for the vacant title later this year. That said, it looks like Chookagian won't be the one challenging for the vacant belt.
Speaking to Aaron Bronsteter at the UFC 228 ceremonial weigh ins, UFC president Dana White confirmed that he had already started conversations with someone regarding facing Shevchenko for the flyweight title. When asked if that someone was Chookagian, White confirmed that it was not but that she was certainly in line for a shot at the belt down the line.
Roxanne Modafferi (22-14-0)
Flyweight Ranking – 4
Form – WLWWL (excluding TUF exhibition fights)
Last Fight – defeated Barb Honchak by TKO (second round) (TUF 27 Finale)
Roxanne 'The Happy Warrior' Modafferi is the most experienced fighter in the top five and was the last person to challenge for the flyweight title, stepping in at short notice for Sijara Eubanks and ending up on the wrong side of a unanimous decision which saw Montaño crowned champion.
Modafferi got back on track with a TKO win over former Invicta champion Barb Honchak in July but it is unlikely that will be enough to secure the Syndicate MMA standout another crack at the vacant title.
Jessica Eye (13-6-0)
Flyweight Ranking – 8
Form – WWLLL
Last Fight – defeated Jessica Rose-Clark by unanimous decision (UFC Singapor)
Jessica Eye may not be in the top five and is perhaps not the most obvious choice to challenge for the vacant title but much like Chookagian, she is 2-0 since moving to flyweight and is an experienced competitor.
The biggest obstacle would appear to be her scheduled fight at UFC 232 with number two ranked contender Sijara Eubanks. With Dana White and Shevchenko both looking to book a fight for the vacant title before the end of the year, it is unlikely that we see Eye involved unless by some freak of nature we see both Eubanks and someone in the title fight drop out and Eye gets the opportunity to step in.
Joanna Jedrzejczyk (15-2-0)
Flyweight Ranking – n/a (number 1 ranked strawweight)
Form – WLLWW
Last Fight – defeated Tecia Torres by unanimous decision (UFC Calgary)
Speaking to Aaron Bronsteter at the UFC 228 ceremonial weigh ins, UFC president Dana White confirmed that he had already started conversations with someone regarding facing Shevchenko for the flyweight title. Dana and Joanna have an excellent relationship dating back to the former 115lb champions title reign and after bouncing back from two tough losses to current strawweight champ Rose Namajunas with a win over Tecia Torres, Jedrzejczyk is at a bit of an impasse.
A step up to 125lbs and an escape from the brutal weight cuts the former champion has endured for years feels like the natural next step. Add in the intrigue of her Muay Thai history with Shevchenko (three fights, all won by 'The Bullet'), it becomes the most marketable fight of all the possible match ups.
While Joanna stepping right in to a title shot would likely upset the fighters already competing at 125lbs, particularly the top five, there is precedent for the UFC booking this type of fight and I can't see any logical reason why this fight doesn't get booked.

My Thoughts on Raising a Respectful Teenager – Part 2
By Barbara Russell
Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. Prov. 14:1
When I was raising my children, I pictured myself "building a house." In my last article, I focused on my children when they were infants to 4-years old, which I picture as laying the foundation. Next is the 5-9-year-old, which I picture as building the framework.
If I would raise respectful teenagers, my children needed to learn that God is the final answer! Proverbs is full of wisdom! Several months throughout these years, the children and I would read the book of Proverbs for our morning devotions. I was able to teach them so many valuable lessons, just by us reading this great book of the Bible! I didn't have to be some great Bible scholar to teach my children God's Word; I simply exposed them to it. I knew their security would come from knowing we do what we do, because God said so! "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee." Ps. 119:11
My children needed to learn respect for authority. God made life simple for a child. Children are to obey and honor their parents. Obviously I wasn't perfect, but I knew I had to expect and train my children to obey and honor me, as their mother, if they were going to be obedient to God. My children knew I had their best interest in mind, and their job was to simply obey and honor me.
We didn't participate in what I call, "Preacher Hash." (That's when dad and mom scrutinize and criticize everything the pastor says or does.) We wanted our children to respect the pastor, Sunday School teacher, and anyone else in a spiritual leadership position. How were we to raise respectful teenagers, if their parents did not show respect for the authorities God placed in our lives? Does this mean we ALWAYS AGREED with everything leadership said or did? No, but we privately went to them, and discussed our differences, rather than dividing our children's hearts in such matters.
There is always a chain of command. It is very liberating, and brings security, for children to observe their parents submitting to authority. They then learn to simply obey their authorities. Rom 13:1 says, "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God."
The 10-12-year-old stage, I picture as putting on the roof. Children at this age can spot a hypocrite a mile away! They are at a crossroads, sifting through everything they have been taught, and deciding what they believe or think about it. They are at a tender, crucial age; they are changing physically, emotionally, and intellectually.
As the mom, I knew I had a few choices: I could quit, leaving them to finish raising themselves; I could be a domineering mother and produce an introvert, or a "Yes, ma'am" child who secretly can't wait for the day they turn 18, so they can "be free;" or, I could continue trying to raise respectful teenagers. I chose the latter.
I always talked to my children, but now I talked with them on a more personal, adult level. I initiated conversations such as, "Is there anything we do in our family that embarrasses you? Are there rules in our home that you don't understand? Are there things that people do to you that are hurtful or unfair? Is there anything the pastor preaches that you aren't sure you agree with? Do you have any fears or physical concerns you want to talk about?" (I started directing my boys to their dad for personal questions and behavioral discipline.)
I tried never to humiliate my children, or make them feel stupid. If the truth were known, they already struggled with feelings of inferiority. I praised them often, and encouraged their ideas and opinions. I initiated opportunities for my boys to be leaders and to make wise decisions. I often told my daughter how beautiful she was, reminding her that beauty comes from within.
I discovered that the 10-12-year-old mind is always thinking! The question is this: "Am I, as their mother, going to take the time to listen to them, understand them, and direct them to a biblical way of thinking?" There was a time when I was "laying the foundation," that I expected obedience with no questions, but if the foundation was properly laid, then, at this age, they need answers, direction, and instruction. I had to stay "tuned in" to my children, to sense when they were struggling, and be there for them. "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Prov. 22:6
All Hail the King!
By Malissa Custer
For the last seven or so months, we have been using that word a lot… KING… "King Rhett," "King Kong," "Your Highness," "Your Royal Stinkiness." The list goes on and on of funny names for Rhett, mostly because we needed some comedic relief from all the ways he has demanded our family change. The age gap between Rhett and the other two kids is six and seven years. We had a pretty good flow going, and Rhett really upset their apple cart. Now, of course, he is their favorite toy, and they love him to death, but there have been more than a few times that he ruins their plans. When their lives were inconvenienced by him I would proudly declare, "All Hail, the King," and they would laugh and laugh – instead of getting annoyed. He has been very good for them, and for our family.
With our recent addition, I have been flooded with memories that seem like a million years ago. Most recently, it has been just how quickly they turn into little sinners. It seems that you have a newborn for three or so months, then you have a sweet baby who is growing and changing and laughing and smiling – until about 6 months – then you have something totally different! Their personality has arrived in full, which includes their will. I think it is fun, but some parents wish for that sweet baby to come back. Hold on to your hat! It seems from about six months to three years, you will be in a fierce battle. Honestly, looking back I can say it is the most important battle of their little lives. It lays the foundation of life. They must learn, "You are not in charge, you do not get what you want all the time, you will obey or there are consequences, and most of all, you are loved."
Some of the first signs of their will, are arching their backs, crying when taking something away, rolling or kicking during diaper changes, pitching a fit when you put them down, and ignoring you when they choose. They are too young for Biblical correction, so what do you do? Well, you have choices. I choose to practice submission. Saying "no" with the proper tone of voice to communicate disapproval. When he arches his back, I pull him tight against me until he relaxes his muscles. When he refuses to look at me when his name is called (he clearly knows his name), I gently turn his face to me until he looks me in the eye and responds. When others speak to him, I help him to interact with them. Set him down on the floor and leave the room, just for a minute, then come back like nothing bad happened. Have a game, where you take his toy from him then give it back, then take it again. Hold them in their position when changing their diaper; when they relax, change it. Give them four toys, tell them not to touch one of them, and play that game with them. They get used to these things, and everything is much less of a dramatic big deal. It sets the tone that you are in charge.
You also have the choice of doing nothing. It seems the most patient of parents can indeed ignore these things, and it has no long-term consequences. I would say one of my worst qualities is impatience. If they are being naughty, I do not enjoy them, and I communicate that to them with my annoyance. This does not teach them anything and the confusion makes them feel insecure. As long as when you start correcting your child, you are consistent, you can start early in the first year of their life.
I certainly do not want this subject to make parents of toddlers feel as though the ongoing battle is just games. It is not. Unfortunately, all toddlers try to exert their will over everyone and everything, and it is our job as parents to inform them that option is not an option! We are in charge, and that is the only way it works. If you are having behavior problems that you can't seem to win or figure out with your toddler, please get some advice. Find someone with grown children who are not rebellious, and ask them questions. I'm sure they will be more than willing to help you. They know how serious these things are. If you are feeling burned out and overwhelmed, please reach out. Ignoring those feelings will be destructive in your home. There are plenty of people willing to give you a break or encourage you, including me. You want to be able to look back at this time with joy of a job well done, instead of the sorrow of regret.
Editor's Note- Parents exercising good discipline requires that they have themselves under control, first; then, sacrifice, commitment, consistency and a vision.

Before I get too far along into telling you how my lawn is simultaneously my pride and my nemesis, how I'm being literal when I say "That's not the hill I'm going to die on," I should come come clean on a couple of things:
1. It's not really a lawn. It's a yard. A really big yard.
2. Lawns and I don't have what I, or anyone, would call a rich history.
I blame my stepfather for this, in large part because he's in Texas and can't defend himself. But let's examine the record: In 1974, when he and my mother bought the house I grew up in, they had a mound of soil deposited in the front yard, presumably to turn that barren patch of North Texas into something lush and green. As the years went by, time and the elements whittled away at the mound of dirt, but nothing of consequence grew there. Several years later, when our next door neighbors put in a pool, my folks volunteered our backyard as a depository for the dug-out earth. Henceforth, our yard sloped gently to a two-foot-tall wall of clay. My stepfather would wander back there occasionally and knock down the vegetation, but that was about it.
So, clearly, I had bad lawn role models.
The ensuing years didn't improve my game much. I lived in a lot of apartments and condos, and even in the times when I lived in a house, I either employed my stepfather's knock-it-down strategy or, more often, exercised my one true superpower: the ability to pay somebody to do something for me.
Then my wife and I moved to Maine. We bought a house with acreage—as a lifelong Westerner, this appealed to me, because they're always jabbering out there about having a piece of land to call your own. I'd never really done that before, because although I'm a Westerner, I'm also a kid from the suburbs. Moving to Maine was my great leap into having neighbors who are near but largely unseen, after a lifetime of having neighbors whose backyard deck was on a direct sight line from my upstairs window. I like the Maine thing better. Who knew?
Anyway, back to the yard ...
It's big. Not the biggest I've seen, not by a long shot, but big enough that my weekly dread at having to fire up the mower and walk the switchbacks is outweighed only by my pride at how nice it looks once I'm done. I almost—almost—get why people lose their minds about landscaping and willingly spend time planting things and pruning and shearing and whatnot. I certainly hope I'm never so bored with television that I end up one of those people.
The thing is, the main part I have to mow is on an incline. That's where the work sets in. My father, who lives with us and was, in his younger days, a man who took great pride in yardwork, likes to come outside and have a spot of tea while he watches me trudge back and forth, pushing the lawnmower, walking sideways, sweating. Sometimes, he'll pull some weeds and toss them into the yard, far above where I happen to be, and say, "Come run the mower over those, why don't you?" Helpful guy. I remind him that it's probably time for his nap.
At any rate, it's a beautiful yard when it's done, and I do feel something approaching euphoria when I'm doing it. Or maybe that's just indigestion. It's hard to tell.
As I sit writing this, it's been five hours since I finished my weekly mow. I love that I can walk across the house, out onto the deck, and admire my handiwork.
I also know each and every blade of grass is plotting to grow this week and make me do it again. They're ruthless that way.

We're less than a month away from the release of Terminator: Genisys and mere days away from Jurassic World, so the robots from the future (and the past, and then the future again – and that's just this film) want to make sure you remember not to spend all of your money staring at pretty, pretty dinosaurs.
In a new featurette from Terminator: Genisys (did we mention it comes out July 1st? That's soon! Save up!), director James Cameron, who created the character and wrote/directed/produced the first and second films in the franchise says that Genisys is basically Terminator 3 as far as he is concerned.
In Terminator: Genisys, a version of Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator is sent even further back in time than he usually is to parent a younger version of Sarah Conner than we've ever seen (played by Game of Thrones' Emilia Clarke) allowing an older looking Arnold (his outer skin layer ages but the machine underneath doesn't) to interrupt the events of the first film and beat the tar out of his other self.
That's the level of time travel tomfoolery the Terminator franchise has twisted itself into and somehow this warrior Sarah Connor encountering Kyle Reese (Jai Coutney) turns the future John Conner into a cyborg Conner (Jason Clarke). Who knows? I'm sure we'll spend about four action set pieces and 119 minutes finding out.
It does feel nice to have James Cameron's stamp of approval, however. He isn't always asked to give his stamp of approval on Terminator films, as the director found out when McG made Terminator Salvation with Sam Worthington (a star Cameron made rise by casting him as the lead in Avatar). Worthington apparently asked Cameron to look at the script in early 2008, but nobody ever bothered to send it to him. During a San Diego Comic Con promoting the film, McG claimed to have had both Cameron's blessing and the blessing of studio executives to deliver and R-rated movie. Neither turned out to be true.
That doesn't mean James Cameron is a vicious critic of the Terminator franchise. Mostly he claimed Salvation "didn't feel to me to be enough of a reinvention," and left it at that (no wonder he likes a movie that makes John Connor, the protagonist of three out of the four existing films, a killer cyborg).
When the actual, not James Cameron sanctioned, Terminator 3 came out, Cameron had every right to call it what it was: a quickly made Terminator sequel that would use Schwarzenegger one last time before he committed completely to his political career. But, he didn't.
When asked about Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, directed by Jonathan Mostow, Cameron said:
"In one word : Great. There was a small part of me that hoped it wasn't good – but another part of me hoped it succeeded. And it did. And I'm so glad it did. Jonathon's made a great movie. Arnold's in great form. I really like what he's done with it."
What are we to make of James Cameron's endorsement of Terminator: Genisys, a film that could kick off a new Terminator trilogy that revives the Terminator property and actually finds a workable way to move the franchise without Arnold Schwartznegger?
He was probably gonna like it in the first place.

The Spaniard wishes to carry on the momentum he had in the Australian GP
Sakhir, 5h April 2018.- Carlos Sainz has arrived at the Bahrain International Circuit, home to the second Grand Prix of the 2018 Formula 1 season. The Spaniard of Renault Sport Formula One Team faces the Sakhir round with good expectations after clinching a well-deserved tenth place in Australia.
Bahrain is a demanding track as temperatures go down during the key sessions of the weekend, which are the Qualifying one and the Race itself, both held in night-time. Overtaking is more feasible than in the Albert Park and tyre-wear is also more severe.
With all that in mind, Carlos faces the second round of the calendar feeling optimistic. "I'm really looking forward to racing here in Bahrain, because it is an interesting race for Formula 1. It is the first permanent track of the year, we may have to stop twice, there are overtakings, long straights... I really like this track!", he said.
"I feel confident. I think Australia was a good starting point. We had a lot of potential and I felt confident throughout the weekend, from Free Practice 1 to Qualifying. We struggled a bit in the race, but we have learned from it and I think that we can have a good weekend here if I feel as confident as I did in Melbourne".
Carlos analyzes the key points of the weekend. "We will have to set-up the car properly in the two night sessions we have, which are Free Practice 2 and Qualifying. We will study the tyre wear, which may be greater than in any other track", he concluded.
Tyres available for the weekend will be the medium, soft and supersoft. Carlos will have two sets of the white compound, three from the yellow one and eight from the red one, which should be the preferred option both for Qualifying and the starting phase of the race.
The Bahrain GP will begin on Friday with Free Practice 1 and Free Practice 2, which will be held at 14:00 and 18:00 local time, 13:00 and 17:00 Spanish time. As always, you will be able to follow Carlos via his official social media channels and his webpage, www.carlossainz.es.

As the OpenStack Foundation kicks off its 2016 international conference in Barcelona this week, 451 Research has new predictions for how fast the open source cloud computing project is growing.
The research firm predicts that OpenStack revenues will grow by a compound annual growth rate of 35% in the coming years, ballooning to a $5 billion industry by 2020.
+MORE AT NETWORK WORLD: The enterprise wish list for hybrid cloud | OpenStack Director on why open source should be the foundation of your data center +
To date most OpenStack revenues have been from multitenant IaaS public cloud use cases, 451 says, but by 2019 the majority of OpenStack revenue will come from private cloud deployments. "OpenStack's success going forward will be in the private cloud space and in providing the orchestration for public cloud integration with on-premises and hosted OpenStack environments," reads 451's release announcing the latest estimates. Even with solid growth identified in OpenStack, 451 says so far most OpenStack deployments have been for hosting test and development workloads, web hosting and pilot projects.
"451 Research predicts a growing number of OpenStack use cases across software-defined networking, network function virtualization, mobile and Internet of Things by both service providers and enterprises," it states. "This is in addition to traditional use cases in big data, DevOps, PaaS and serving developers and lines of business."
According to findings of OpenStack's own survey of its community, 70% of the more than 200 respondents to its semi-annual questionnaire claimed they have production OpenStack deployments. Thirty percent of customers in the survey were part of an organization with more than 1,000; another quarter of respondents had between 100 and 999 employees, showing that it's not just small shops using the platform.
"We continue to believe the market is still in the early stages of enterprise use and revenue generation," said Al Sadowski, research vice president at 451 Research. "We expect an uptick in revenues from all sectors and geographic regions, especially from those companies in the OpenStack Products and Distributions category that are targeting enterprises."
While revenues seem healthy for OpenStack, it pales in comparison to some other cloud vendors. Amazon Web Services, for example, is on about an $11.5 billion annual revenue run rate this year.

Jana Sena Party President Pawan Kalyan asserted that whatever mistake Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu did with reference to Hyderabad when he was the CM of the united state he is committing the same mistake in the case of Amaravati.
Expressing his unhappiness at the way the AP government was functioning, Pawan said even though Chandrababu developed only Cyberabad he did the mistake of claiming that he is the person who developed the entire city of Hyderabad.
In the case of Amaravati, Pawan said Chandrababu had allowed some big businessmen to buy out thousands of acres of land from small farmers for few lakhs of rupees. They are now coating crores of rupees for the same land. With this, the common people and farmers are not having the happiness of taking part in the development of the state capital.
This approach of Chandrababu is also one of the reasons for Telangana people's anger on Andhra people, Pawan claimed. Now in Amaravati's case too, Chandrababu is doing the same mistake, Pawan explained.
Pawan lamented that Chandrababu is developing at the cost of neglecting other regions in the state. If this approach continues, Chandrababu could be the reason for Rayalaseema and Kalinga agitations in the near future, warned Pawan.

How does a person learn a second language? In this provocative book, Marysia Johnson proposes a new model of second language acquisition (SLA)-a model that shifts the focus from language competence (the ability to pass a language exam) to language performance (using language competently in real-life contexts).
Johnson argues that current SLA theory and research is heavily biased in the direction of the cognitive and experimental scientific tradition. She shows that most models of SLA are linear in nature and subscribe to the conduit metaphor of knowledge transfer: the speaker encodes a message, the hearer decodes the sent message. Such models establish a strict demarcation between learners' mental and social processes. Yet the origin of second language acquisition is located not exclusively in the learner's mind but also in a dialogical interaction conducted in a variety of sociocultural and institutional settings, says the author. Drawing on Vygotsky's sociocultural theory and Bakhtin's literary theory, she constructs an alternative framework for second language theory, research, teaching, and testing. This approach directs attention toward the investigation of dynamic and dialectical relationships between the interpersonal (social) plane and the intrapersonal (individual) plane. Johnson's model shifts the focus of SLA away from a narrow emphasis on language competence toward a broader view that encompasses the interaction between language competence and performance.
Original and controversial, A Philosophy of Second Language Acquisition offers:
· an introduction to Vygotsky's sociocultural theory and Bakhtin's literary theory, both of which support an alternative framework for second language acquisition;
· an examination of the existing cognitive bias in SLA theory and research;
· a radically new model of second language acquisition.
Marysia Johnson is assistant professor of linguistics at Arizona State University, where she works extensively in the area of second language acquisition research.

'Baby shower' at Harmony House
Two new "serenity babies" are now making their home at Harmony House in Motley, thanks to the generosity of the Motley Lions and the Munger, Tervonen and McDonald families.
"They just arrived today and everybody is so excited," said Michele Henifin, Resident Service Outreach Coordinator for all four Harmony House units.
Henifin went on to say that following a previous article in the Staples World about the need for a 'serenity baby' at Harmony House, the donors stepped forward to make it possible.
"Their names are on the adoption certificate," Henifin said.
The serenity babies are from Loving Hearts Nursery in St. Joseph, handmade by the owners of the company, Daryl and Cindy Lindbloom.
"They are so life-like," Henifin said of the dolls. She noted that they have real skin tones and warm up when they are held.
In celebration of the arrival of the serenity babies, the residents and staff at Harmony House held a baby shower, complete with balloons, cake and ice cream; and gifts for the babies.
"Part of the financial donations went toward the bassinets and other baby supplies," Henifin said.
During the party, the residents took turns holding the babies and offered suggestions for names. In the end, they decided to name the boy Bobby Eddie; and the girl, Sarah Cassandra.
"What a good baby he is," Mary Munger said after rocking Bobby for while. "He is so well behaved," she added.
Fellow resident Marion Braith noted that Sarah Cassandra would most likely need some extra attention her first week at Harmony House. "I will be glad to take the night shift," she said.
Harmony House is a division of Horizon Health and has memory care assisted living residences in Little Falls, Pierz, Brainerd and Motley. According to a news release, "Researchers have reported significant improvement in the behavior of people with dementia when dolls were introduced to them as a choice. This type of therapy has proven to be an effective approach in reducing negative and challenging behaviors."

Unlike SPU's academic catalogs, the Time Schedule lists classes being offered for a specific quarter and year. You can create as many offerings of a particular course as you need, though the course details (e.g., schedule type, delivery mode, grade mode, etc.) must match the details that exist in catalog.
The upcoming academic year's Time Schedule is posted online on April 1. The Summer Sessions' Time Schedule is posted online mid-January for the coming Summer Sessions.
*Dates may vary, if date falls on a weekend or holiday.
In December, the schedule production coordinator in Student Academic Services will alert you that the online Time Schedule Planner is available. You will have access to all courses within your department for the following academic year's Autumn, Winter, and Spring quarters.
All schedule information from the current academic year will be rolled into the next academic year, so the Planner will list the instructor, enrollment cap, and day and time currently in effect, as well as any room preferences you included the previous year.
If you have any changes for the upcoming year (e.g., changes to instructor, day, and time, etc.), make updates in the Time Schedule Planner. When access to the system is turned off, SAS will implement your changes in Banner. If a specific room is needed or desired, note this when submitting your updates. There will be a second round in February when you can check our work and make additional changes.
Information listed in the Time Schedule Planner:
Remember: Any information from a previous year that is not updated in the Catalog or Time Schedule will default into the coming year.
To best utilize our limited classroom space, Seattle Pacific fits courses into the block schedule (PDF).
When scheduling classes during the following time slots, keep in mind:
Classes are not allowed to meet during the following times, which are set aside for University Ministries:
Graduate and evening classes typically begin at 4 p.m. or later.
Rooms are assigned during the yearly Time Schedule process in March. If you anticipate specific room needs (e.g., long tables, whiteboards, etc.), please make these requests known to the staff or faculty member in your department who submits the Time Schedule to Student Academic Services before the end of February so your staff/faculty members have time to enter your request prior to the end of second round edits.
You can locate your assigned classrooms through the Time Schedule or through Banner in the "Faculty and Advisor Menu."
To request a room change, contact the schedule coordinator (firstname.lastname@example.com) in Student Academic Services. If you need to reserve a room for a specific course-related activity, including a review session or additional meeting time, use the Course-Related Request in the SPU Room Finder.
In case of emergency, SPU is responsible for knowing the location of students and faculty. Therefore, classroom assignments must be accurately recorded in our database. If you would like to switch rooms, no form is required. Just email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Pictures of SPU classrooms are available in the SPU Room Finder. Select "Browse Facilities" from the Browse menu. You will also see room capacity and a list of the technical equipment available in the room.
Other room requests, including rooms for meetings, special events, and campus clubs, can be requested by using the appropriate request form in the SPU Room Finder, or by contacting Conference Services at 206-281-2187.
Unlike the regular academic year, the Summer Time Schedule is built during Autumn Quarter. In September, the schedule coordinators will contact you regarding using the Time Schedule Planner to update your summer schedule.
As with the academic year, we will roll the courses your department offered during the previous summer into the upcoming summer.
Select changes may be made to sections in the time schedule, after publication. Make changes such as instructors, increasing enrollment limits, and cancellations and additions by submitting a request through CourseLeaf: Time Schedule. Have questions about how to use CourseLeaf, or deadlines by phase? Utilize the SPU Courseleaf Wiki!

Genmai Japanese Restaurant
3623 W. Fifth St., Oxnard
A few years ago, a friend had asked me to a find a midway point between his home in Oxnard and mine in Ventura and we agreed upon Genmai. It happened to be one of his favorite sushi restaurants, located in a rather obscure strip mall on the same road as the Oxnard airport. And from what I recalled, it was rather good so I decided my return visit was long overdue.
My companion and I arrived for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. It was rather quiet with only one other table of guests. The dining room is a bit dim, with dark walls, wood tables and chairs but a cream-colored tile floor for contrast. We chose our seats at the sushi bar, which produced some of the fastest service I think I have ever had in a Japanese restaurant.
As we looked over the menu, we were offered and served complimentary miso soup with thin udon noodles, and ginger cucumber salad with sesame seeds tossed in seasoned rice vinegar. My companion ordered the crunchy roll (California roll, tempura-style), the chicken teriyaki bento box while I chose the chili pepper roll and the pizza roll.
First out, the crunchy roll, which was pretty standard. The bonus: fresh out of the fryer, warm and tightly wrapped. Then came the bento box. The chicken was hot off the skillet, moist, practically falling apart and not overwhelmingly sweet. The side salad had big chucks of hot-house tomatoes on fresh field greens with a tangy miso vinaigrette on the side. Along with the egg roll, pork gyoza, crisp and crunchy shrimp and vegetable tempura, there wasn't much room left for my companion to share my rolls. Surely, one bento box at Genmai is more than enough to satiate the appetite.
As my companion was enjoying his meal, the chili pepper roll came out, indulgent to the extreme, as far as it goes for sushi rolls: a fresh yet not-so-spicy jalapeño pepper stuffed with minced ahi tuna and a hearty helping of cream cheese, then lightly battered and deep-fried, followed with a decent dousing of sweet eel and sriracha mayo and sprinkled with sesame seeds. This combination could seriously be a dessert for those who like to live a little dangerously.
Following that, I ordered the pizza roll just to see how far down the rabbit hole I could go. Because my companion — a young relative — has always had an affinity for pizza, I thought this would no doubt be tempting. Alas, when it showed up, the only thing reminiscent of pizza was the attempt at being served in a circle on slices of seaweed, which had no sturdiness whatsoever so everything just fell off. The minced crab, shrimp, white fish and salmon, atop rice and seaweed, then covered in eel sauce was dense, as one could imagine, sweet as well, but it was just too much. Further, I am just not that accustomed to consuming so much mayo and sweetness, so I had some grumbling in the digestion process.
Worth revisiting, especially for happy hour ($5 drink specials, sometimes less) and lunch specials (Monday-Wednesday, $8 meal plus free drink), and apparently the place gets popping with a dance night on Thursdays. Overall, if I can just learn to scale back on the creamy, mayo-y accoutrements now customary in sushi dining, Genmai has an array of options, including the sashimi "martini cocktail," that would satisfy sushi cravings.
Note: My young companion pointed out that he found it odd that there was a panda on the menu at a Japanese restaurant. "Pandas are only found in China," he said. "Very observant," I replied.

New rule for admitting Younger Brethren of Trinity House
Trinity House Court Minute:
"The Master letting the Board know the Scandal this house lay under in their having admitted heretofore Younger Brothers being Dissenters from ye Church & ill affected to ye Government, it was debated how the evill should be prevented hereafter, and Resolved, that no late or any other Younger Brother to be made hereafter being a Seaman and expecting a Branch from this House shall be admitted into this Corporation, without bringing a certificate from ye Minister & Church Wardens of ye Parish to which he belongs of his conformity to ye Church of England as by Law established & of his frequenting the same."
The 'Scandal' would appear to be fallout from the enormous changes brought about by the Civil War, Oliver Cromwell's Commonwealth and the subsequent Restoration.
The 'branch' referred to is the certificate issued to Younger Brethren by Trinity House.

"Mr. Baker (buoy keeper at Harwich) to attend on 7 July to go down with the Gunfleet Beacon, and in the meantime to lay a buoy near the place where the Beacon is to be set, and that it may stand dry at Low Water if possible. He is also to clean the buoys on his passage up. The Board is informed that the buoys at the Spitts lie too far to the westwards, and he is to observe them, and if he finds them so, to put them in a proper place."
A buoy was first laid at the Gunfleet sand in the northern Thames Estuary in 1629. A lighthouse (pictured here) was established to mark the position in 1850, until it was discontinued in 1920. Today the area is marked with a number of buoys.

Had company served this everyone loved it.
is one cup of butter melted right? i can't seem to gwt it done?
1/2 C. or 1 stick of butter. If you are using 1C. your crust will end up soggy or somewhat gelatinous when cold. Unless you are like me and have no use for the rest of the box of wafers so I use the entire box for crumbs and 2 sticks(1 cup) for a thicker crust.
Yes, 1 cup butter, melted is correct for the crust.
Took this to a ladies luncheon and everyone loved it. Will definitely be making this for the holidays. Next time I make it I think I will use 1 stick of melted butter instead of 1 cup melted butter. The crust stuck to the pan & I wonder if a cup of butter is a bit too much.
You NEED to fix this recipe. One cup butter in crust is wrong. It should be 1/2 cup or 1 stick. I had to throw away lots of ingredients and go back to the store.
I would give it 5 stars, but……ive made this twice and both times I followed it step by step and the crust I've had to change it. I cup of melted butter is ALOT!! And I had to double up on the wafers and pecans because it wasn't enough for a 9×13 pan. Did not double up on butter though. It was more then enough for doubling the other two ingredients. But other than that, this cake tastes amazing!!!
Had Cherries so decided to try this and it was great. glad i read comments first. Doubled nuts and wafers for the butter. Next time will combine the pudding and cream cheese mixtures. need 2 cans cherries too.. This is for company. Just too much for 2 people but great recipe.
I made the Graham Cracker W/ Light Apple by Lucky Leaf, and it was very good. I will try more recipes with Lucky Leaf fruits.
This was delicious. Love the vanilia wafer crust. Changed my mine about Graham cracker crust .

With interest rates at 0%, where should you hold your capital? This is one of the most common problems our clients face and as a result we have a number of solutions available. With inflation on the rise you need to make sure your capital is also benefiting from positive returns in order to ensure it grows either inline with or above inflation.
Emergency Fund
Firstly you need to make sure you have acquired your emergency fund. This should be at least 3-6 months living expenses. This capital should remain easily accessible. Although you will receive 0% returns, this capital can be withdrawn instantly should you need it.
Knowing your Attitude To Risk
Once you have earmarked your emergency fund, you need to know what your attitude to risk is before looking to invest your excess capital. You can do this by using our online Risk Profiler.
Now you know how much you are looking to invest and your ATR, you need to create your portfolio. If you have little or no financial knowledge we strongly recommend that you work with your Wealth Manager. If you do not currently have someone you can turn to for assistance on this matter, please do feel free to contact one of our advisors by completing the form at the bottom of this page.
Diversification within your portfolio is extremely important as it helps mitigate risk by ensuring you are not over exposed to one particular asset class. For an example of how to construct a balanced portfolio CLICK HERE.
You can make a one off investment or a regular monthly investment. Most of our clients combine these two strategies in order to maximise their gains and minimise their risk.
One Off Investments
Your one off investment allows you to ensure the capital you have already accumulated, is invested and generating growth. We currently advise caution with this mode of investment, as it is important that you protect against any potential market downside, in order to maximise long term returns. There are some alternative instruments available that offer protection and a defined return, often regardless of short term volatility. These ensure investors can generate solid returns whether the market moves up, down or sideways.
Regular/Monthly Investments
While working in Switzerland we all benefit from attractive packages and lower taxes. As a result we enjoy a healthy surplus income and are able to save on a regular basis. The issue we have now is that our savings are not growing. The next step is to divert some of your surplus income to an account that invests your capital on a monthly basis. This enables you to implement a unit cost averaging strategy. Doing so will help you mitigate risk by purchasing units on a regular basis. For further information about the benefits of unit cost averaging you can view our white paper by CLICKING HERE
What To Do Next?
Now you know what your attitude to risk is and how much you are able to save/invest, the next step is to ACT. Either speak with your bank or wealth manager to put a strategy in place. If you do not have a wealth manager or would like a second opinion please do feel free to contact us and speak with one of our advisors. You can do so by completing the below form.

For years, I've paid almost every one of my monthly bills on-line …but every month, I get in my car and drive downtown to pay my City utility bill and my Energy West bill, because neither of them offer on-line payments. I never mailed them because I never buy stamps. But now, lo & behold, it seems that Great Falls is offering on-line bill payment – woohoo! I have only one concern: the acronym for the "Utility Payment and Information System" is…well, UPIS. Intentional humor by a City-employed geek? Dunno, but it reminds me of an episode of "The Simpsons," where there is a college called the Springfield Heights Institute of Technology.
Great Leap Forward

Are Bed Bugs Attracted to Your Dirty Laundry?
Scientists are discovering that bed bugs are attracted to dirty laundry just as commonly as they are attracted to beds.
It seems as though, in recent years, bed bugs have become increasingly common in the United States. Infestations of these tiny invaders can be devastating, causing itchy welts all over your skin whenever you lay down to rest.
Bed bugs travel by moving among crevices and holes of furniture like mattresses, beds, headboards, pillows, and box springs. They are attracted to human scent and suck your blood voraciously while you sleep at night. Now, scientists are discovering that bed bugs are attracted to dirty laundry just as commonly as they are attracted to beds.
How Do We Know That Bed Bugs Are Attracted to Stinky Laundry?
Scientists at Sheffield recently experimented to see whether dirty laundry would attract bed bugs. Volunteers were asked to wear plain tee shirts and socks for three hours, and then place the clothes into plain tote bags. Then, the bed bugs were fed and placed at the center of a controlled room.
Four bags, some containing dirty laundry and some containing clean clothes, were spaced evenly around the room. The bugs were then given time to explore the room. This study proved that bed bugs were twice as likely to make their new homes in the dirty laundry as they were in the clean laundry.
The bed bugs were likely drawn to the clothes because they smelled strongly of carbon dioxide, which is what attracts bloodsucking pests – like bed bugs and even mosquitoes – to humans in the first place. Residual human odors draw in the bugs and allow them to hitch a ride to their next destination.
What Implication Does This Finding Have?
Simply put, dirty laundry is more attractive to bed bugs. These pests multiply prolifically, with females laying up to four eggs a day until she dies at around nine months of age.
This means that bed bugs can not only spread from contaminated furniture or linens, but also through piles of clothes left on the floor. What's worse is that bed bugs have developed a strong resistance to many chemicals we use to poison them.
"This study proved that bed bugs were twice as likely to make their new homes in the dirty laundry as they were in the clean laundry."
The Bed Bug Inspectors
How Do I Keep Bed Bugs Out of My Laundry?
When you travel, don't put your dirty laundry on the hotel room floor. Soiled clothes left out in the open will serve as a large target for these wandering pests.
If possible, try to have your clothes laundered while you're away from home. That way, the dryer cycle can kill any bugs or eggs, and you will reduce your likelihood of carrying these pests back home with you.
If washing your clothes while traveling is not an option, consider replacing your dirty clothes in sealed bags while staying in a hotel. This will reduce the likelihood of picking up a bed bug infestation, and, if you do happen to catch a few travelers, will mean that they are quarantined inside that bag until you can take your clothes home to wash them – and, ideally, get rid of the bed bugs before they spread to the rest of your house.
How Do I Prevent Bed Bugs From Entering My Home?
The easiest way to get rid of a bed bug infestation is to prevent it from growing out of control in the first place. Consider hiring The Bed Bug Inspectors for all of your bed bug elimination needs. We are based in New York City and can travel to wherever we are needed.
Regular bed bug inspections can help eliminate the likelihood of an infestation growing out of hand. We don't just use chemicals to get rid of your bed bug problems and will work with you to design a solution that best fits your lifestyle and budget.
Our methods include organic bed bug treatments as well as bed bug heat treatments and dog inspection services. Contact us today to get back your peace of mind in a bug-free home.***

Click Here to Listen to the Podcast
In this session of the My Fishing Cape Cod Podcast I take look back at the 2013 Cape Cod saltwater fishing season. Specifically we will talk about this year's bass and tuna bite, how to find stripers along desolate beaches and even answer some of your Facebook questions at the end.
For me personally this past season was a huge success. The boat ran well and I safely made it through the year, which is about all I can really ask for. The fishing was pretty darn good too.
To produce this podcast I worked with my technically savvy cousin Kevin, who helped add in some pretty intense voice over and sound effects. This is a big step up from my previous podcasts!

text: Recently purchased a ProCo Rat 2. I was happy with the distortion tone but there was a weird buzz that occurred during the notes decay. The best I can describe it as a static electricity type sound. So I am looking for recommendations for a good distortion pedal that can give me similar results to the Rat with the following settings Distortion 9:00, Filter 1:00, Volume 1:00. Seemed like a fairly standard 80's type metal sound. My amp is a Marshall Origin 20 through a Scumback M75, telecaster and a Les Paul Special Tribute with P90s. Not chasing a particular tone other than being able to get an 80's metal style tone when the mood hits. Not trying to break the bank or I would probably buy the Wampler Sovereign as the demos I have heard sound amazing. Any recommendations would be awesome.

Foreword: This blog is a finalist in SAVEUR Blog Awards in Best Special Interest category and I would be very honored if you supported me and cast a vote for Lab Noon. All it takes is a few seconds and a basic registration. Thank you! Voting is open through April 30th.
I can't hide it. It's always been like this. Through the years some of its aspects have changed but the bases have remained the same. Spring is my freaking favorite time of the year! And it's not because it's my birthday! It's as if I start to shed my old skin right at the end of February and by the time we're in April the simple smell of the air makes me happy. Actually until few years ago, I used to get quite depressed at the end of the summer and in the beginning of Autumn. But thankfully, Rome's September and October are so spectacular that I don't suffer that very much ever since I live here. And the Springs of Rome? Oh, the blue of the sky and light green of the new buds, the smell of the blossoms, and that light breeze! Does Spring have a similar effect on you too? What's your favorite activity in these beautiful days?
I take a lot of pictures. I took the photos you see here in Garbatella neighborhood, one of the most authentic parts of the city. It looks like a small village right inside the city. Take a look all of these photos on my Flickr account.
And most importantly, the fruit and the produce of Spring is just amazing. After the confusion and scarceness of March, April arrives with real strawberries, fava beans, asparagus, sweet peas and artichokes. And in a short while there will come apricots and lots and lots more! This year I want to be more courageous and try new dishes with some produce that I never usually use. Like artichokes! I am somehow scared of cooking artichokes. I love them, but I think since I haven't grown up seeing/eating artichokes I am scared of cleaning and cooking them well! But this year, before it's too late, I want to try and make Valeria's Carciofi alla Romana (Roman style artichokes).
Sherrie —who's a fellow Saveur Blog Awards finalist I have just discovered— has a beautiful fried rice with Spring veggies on her blog. If you want more Italian-inspired recipes with Spring produce make sure you read Valentina's post about what's in season in April where she has a gorgeous frittata that's so green it looks like Persian Kuku.
What are your favorite recipes with Spring produce? Feel free to link them to me for inspiration in the comments.
As for me, I have just discovered that unlike what what I thought, spinach is actually a Spring produce! Actually spinach is around right since winter, but it's during spring that it's at its best. Who would've thought? I think we're all so used to buying frozen spinach that we no longer remember when is its real season. Mind you, frozen raw vegetable is the next best thing after fresh ones since they're frozen when they're in season and by freezing they conserve about 98% of their nutritional values, and they're very convenient.
This Persian spinach and eggs dish is incredibly simple, and yet it's more than just two eggs with tossed veggies. Mainly thanks to the aromas of garlic and onion and the unmistakable taste of turmeric, merged together with lemon and orange juice that refreshes the palate. (It's a great way to use those last oranges of the season with little juice and flavor.) In Iran we use only the juice of bitter orange, which is a hybrid between mandarin and another citrus called pomelo. It's tangy, not as sweet as orange/mandarin and nor as sour as lemons. This acidity combined with the sweetness of onions creates a soft, balanced flavor.
Turmeric, is truly a magic spice, that not only brings wonderful aroma and color to your dishes, but it's also a very potent anti-infiammatory. So try to add it regularly to your cooking and you'll get sick less often!
I don't boil and drain the spinach. Spinach and other (leafy) vegetables are so tender that would over cook quickly and release all their goodness (minerals and nutritional substances) in the boiling water that is often discarded. If you do boil your vegetables, do not throw the water away! Drink it (some lemon juice and seasoning help) or conserve it for cooking pasta, rice or legumes. After sautéing garlic and onions with turmeric and lemon/orange juice, I simply add the spinach and cover the pan with a lid and let it sweat. Even if the pile of spinach is much taller than the pan, don't worry, just place the lid and once the leaves are heated they shrink.
Now it's time for flowers to bloom in our lawn, so we break the eggs in the spinach and let them cook with the flavors of onions, garlic and turmeric. The finishing touch, the one that brings the aroma to these flowers, is a drop of saffron infusion on each egg. There, your bouquet of Narcissus is ready. It's a very romantic name for such a rustic, simple dish. Nargessi — the Persian word for Narcissus— gets its name from eggs looking like white and yellow daffodils in the middle of green spinach. It would make a healthy and filling savory breakfast or brunch full of protein and iron. And it's so rich yet simple that you can have it for a quick lunch, and why not, even a week night dinner.
There are many ways you can cook spinach and eggs. What is your favorite? Tell me about your creative spinach recipes in the comments!
- 1 large (or 2 medium) onion, sliced
- 1 large (or 2 medium) garlic clove, crushed and minced very finely
- 1 heap tbsp of turmeric
- 500-750g/1-1.5lb raw spinach leaves, trimmed, washed and dried
- 4 organic free range eggs
- juice of 1 lemon
- juice of ½ orange
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/8 tsp saffron, melted in 1 tbsp hot water
- 1 tsp kosher salt (or to taste)
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- Heat the oil in a large non stick pan. First add the minced garlic and stir. Once you start to smell it (after some seconds) add the onions. Sauté on medium-high flame until the onion is golden. Then turn down the heat and let the onions soften throughly. If necessary add a splash of water.
- Add the turmeric to the sauté and stir well to combine.
- Add the spinach to the pan. Don't worry if the pile of spinach is much higher than the pan. Make sure the flame is low. Place the lid, pushing the spinach leaves inside, and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Now that the lower spinach leaves are soften and cooked, turn the leaves so that the ones on top that are still raw can cook. Place back the lid for another 5 minutes.
- When the leaves are almost cooked, add half of the salt and the juices, stirring well to combine the onions and garlic with spinach leaves.
- With a wooden spoon make four small holes in the spinach and carefully break each egg into a hole. Turn up the heat and place the lid for a couple of minutes. (depends on how cooked you prefer your eggs).
- Pour a drop of saffron infusion on each egg, add the rest of salt and pepper and serve hot with wholegrain bread.

Lawsuit Up!
Alistair began to lose his composure, beads of sweat hanging on his forehead like defiant raindrops on a window. Refusing to roll.
He straightened his tie and tried again.
"Michael, perhaps you didn't hear me right, I asked you what happened next."
Michael studied Alistair's face carefully. It seemed as though, despite having sworn an oath to God, he expected him to lie. How curious.
Alistair's hand came down with the force of a freight train, silencing Michael immediately.
"I mean I sent her home and masturbated instead?" he tried tentatively.

Ventura County Resource Conservation District
Erosion Control Installation Guides
The Fire Recovery BMPs Program expended grant funds to purchase the following erosion control supplies for landowners in need:
In response to the Thomas Fire and subsequent rain events, the VCRCD was awarded "emergency" grant funds in January 2018 from the State Water Resources Control Board to reduce erosion on private and public lands impacted by wildfires within Ventura County, including the Santa Clara River and Ventura River Watersheds.
The project purchased erosion control materials such as straw, native seed, wattles, silt fencing, check dams, and other stormwater best management practices (BMPs) for installation in sensitive areas. The VCRCD prioritized projects and/or material needs based on potential water quality benefit, availability of appropriate qualified staff and equipment to perform the work, willingness of landowner to proceed with BMPs, and weather conditions. Approximately 2,560 acres in Ventura County were addressed through the program.
The Fire Recovery BMPs Program ended on March 31, 2018 and grant funds are no longer available.
Fire Recovery
Wildfire can cause severe soil erosion because it burns the vegetative layer within a given landscape. This layer consists of shrubs, forbs, grasses, trees, and litter, which reduce the intensity of severe storms on the ground below. Plant roots stabilize the soil, while stems and leaves help slow the rate of water, giving it more time to percolate into the soil. This type of soil protection is compromised after a fire.
Following a rain event, erosion potential on fire-impacted land is even greater. The loss of a vegetative layer, coupled with rainy weather can sometimes lead to flooding and debris/mudflows. Erosion can occur immediately after a fire, and can also continue over several years. There are a few methods of erosion control to consider; however, each property has its own set of characteristics and may require particular erosion controls over others.
