The major building activities are to do an appraisal of the site and to mobilise for building. The contractor locates the slurry trench cutoff wall in the field with appropriate studies. The contractor determines the equipment that will be needed, sums of stuffs, and installations that may be required. Plans are made for mobilising forces and traveling equipment to the site. The designated location where a Reserve Component unit or single mobilizes or moves after mobilisation for farther processing, preparation, and employment. A preconstruction meeting between the interior decorator, contractor, and CQA applied scientist is recommended. In this meeting, stuffs, building processs, all facets of the undertaking, and disciplinary actions are discussed.
The Job-site director 's site-specification safety plan certification and information required for the effectual executive of the work undertaking should be in topographic point before the first contractor mobilizes to the undertaking site. The Pre-Job Planning Checklist ( Form 9.1 ) provided at the terminal of the chapter is an illustration of the considerations that should be included in readying for contractor mobilisation and the kind of certification that should be topographic point at the start of the work undertaking. Clearly, the checklist developed for each undertaking will reflects the considerations specific to it. A grassroots refinery will include different considerations than will those of a steel factory ascent. The development of the checklist will be based on notes and information gathered during the technology and procurement stages of the undertakings. The checklist serves to guarantee that nil is overlooked in readying for contractor mobilisation.
Site mobilisation can be classs into field site support and forces factors.
Field site support encompasses those services used to assist the building, assembly, review, trial, operation, and presentation maps at the field site whereas forces factors is the factors that affect field forces and their households.
There are 8 factors in field site support which are communicating, transit, power, H2O system, trial support equipment, heavy equipment, workshops, and fire protection. Communication can be simple as one telephone or every bit complex as a orbiter relay web to supply a agency of conveying intelligence that will run into the demands of the site. Sites should hold sufficient lines and extensions at the needed contact points so that communications will non go jam-packed. Adequate transit is required to travel hardware, mail, and forces to, from, and around the site. Example: a vehicle can be rented and run by a field site driver, or sooner the coach and driver can be furnished as complete services under subcontractor. Power is one of the of import things in site. Its intents are to provide electricity. For stray country, portable power units are used which consists of generators driven by either gasolene or Diesel motors to supply anyplace from 1 to 10 kWs of power. Competent mechanics and linemans are needed to run, maintain and pass the equipment. Thus trim parts such as fan belts, oil filters, and radiator hosieries will hold to be stored at the site including machinist 's tools and welding equipment. Next, discuss on H2O system. Water either can convey in by truck, pumped straight from a nearby lake or river or good. Test support equipment such as telescopes, theodolites tube, and high-speed cameras used for use of electromagnetic equipment, the peculiar wireless frequences must be cleared with the scope frequence officer or with the local office. Heavy equipment such as tractors, bulldozers, Cranes or route scraper must turn up in proper country. Information on the usage of the equipment and on the site environment should be collected before it is traveling to the working country. Workshops include woodworking store and metal store. Fire protection and first assistance installations should be equal to run into any site exigency.
There are 3 forces factor in mobilisations which are lodging, nutrient, and medical installations. Housing can be in-site or in-town. It have furnishes suites and houses, clean, good heated or air-cooled suites, bath installations, and others. Food ingestion by worker can be 10 or 15 stat mis off from site, crew 's vehicle may be used to do a scheduled tally for tiffin. Medical installations such as first AIDSs kit must be prepared on the site or a vehicle is standby to direct any worker is injured during working.
Security and site entree control should be given elaborate attending. Where possible on big undertakings contractors should be provided with their ain entree Gatess If, by opportunity, both brotherhood and non-union work forces are being employed at the same location, each should be provided with their ain job-site entree gate. Where possible, contractor entree to their work sites should non track countries where proprietor production activities are taking topographic point.
A traffic control program with consideration for traffic taking to and within the confines of the undertaking site is an indispensable consideration. The job-site director should supply for equal turning room and good visibleness for vehicle drivers at job-site entry and issue points in the site layout program. Put out clear vehicles paths across the job-site avoiding crisp decompression sicknesss, blind corners, and narrows spreads. Protect any impermanent constructions such as scaffolds that might be damaged or made insecure if struck by a vehicle. Protect diggings and countries aboard unfastened H2O that vehicles must go through closely. Site traffic forms should be defined to minimise the demand for building vehicles and equipment to across or come to prosaic waies.
2. Discourse the undertaking site layout program in relation to site efficiency ( stuffs, labor and machineries )
From the site layout program, the material storage country is near to the Construction country. Indirectly, the efficiency to the site is high. It turning away of dual handling of stuffs. Hence, it minimum walking distance between working and stuffs storage country. Besides that, minimized on site traffic congestion by be aftering bringing reachings, equal parking installations for staff and machineries and by holding circle room for the bringing vehicle.
Next, the site efficiency that we need to discourse for the site is proper storage agreements to guarantee that stuffs are a right type, measures and available when required. Amount and types of stuffs to be stored, security and conditions protection demands, allotment of equal countries for hive awaying stuffs and apportioning equal working infinite around storage countries as required. Siting of storage countries to cut down dual managing to a lower limit without hindering the general site circulation and/or works in advancement.
Beside that, the efficiencies of site layout besides depend on avoiding of loss by elements by supplying equal protection such as guards, stashing and stuffs look intoing process. Materials and works must be stored so as to protect them from the conditions and from harm from site operations. This applies every bit to stuffs stored on site for a short period and those stored for a longer period. Space for the building and subsequent protection from harm of sample panels is a related consideration. The decrease of waste on the site is links to good site direction and besides to good particularization. When detailing a edifice, attending should be given to cut downing the sum of cutting and therefore waste generated on the site ( which is expensive to dispose of ) .
3. Describe any betterment methods in bettering the said site.
There are 4 facets need to better for the site that we visited. First, pavements or pathwaies should be established on the building. For illustration, there must hold pathwaies or pavements from the chief entryway to the site office. This is peculiarly of import where the vehicles must come near to public prosaic motion around building activities should be minimized where possible. All general, public pes traffic analogue to building traffic must be protected and where possible, barrier systems installed. Normal vehicle kerb is non normally an equal replacement for barriers where the general populace is involved. Where walkers must traverse the way of building vehicles, clear cross-walks should be delineated and traffic regulations enforced.
Second, jeopardies created by equipment should be avoided. For illustration, generators, air compressors, and welding machines include noise, dust, and toxic exhausts and should be considered when finding their arrangement. Predominating air currents and their consequence on directing toxic exhausts and dust should be the first of the elements considered. Isolation of big noise processs in distant locations or the installing of noise deflectors and sound barriers should besides be considered when in the locality of the dumbly occupied work countries.
Third, services and adjustment besides need to be improved on the site. As a lower limit a suited, metered supply of electricity and H2O will be required ; so excessively will foul drainage. Site forces require office infinite and comfort installations. These are normally provided in specialist pre-fabricated site units that are hired by the contractor for the continuance of the undertaking. The well-being of building workers and besides visitants to the site is an of import factors.
Last, security and safety besides need to be improved on the site. It is required for two grounds. First, to protect the stuffs and works left on the site overnight from unwittingly rolling on to the site and therefore jeopardizing their safety ; therefore margin fence and physical barriers to unauthorised entry, many contractors besides employ security houses to supply extra protection at dark and at weekends. Monitoring of stuffs come ining go forthing the site is besides required to forestall pilfering by the site workers.

Shop Tool Review
Final Thoughts
If you want a knife that reminds you of the tools you work with every day, then I doubt you will find another more fitting than the Monster MSTRATCHET limited edition knife.
User Review( votes)
Needing a knife to cut a rope when I was a kid, I asked my Dad: "Dad, do you have a knife on you"? Dad replies: "I got my pants on, don't I"! I've only heard that about ten-thousand times in my life. It is true, there is nothing much handier than having a knife in your pocket. For the past two weeks I've carried the Monster MSTRatchet limited edition knife to give it a good shakedown and see what it's made of.
Everyone should own at least a dozen or two pocket knives. I know, you're rolling your eyes thinking that's not necessary, but get used to carrying one, you'll change your mind. Once you get used to a knife handy, it drives you crazy when you don't have it. I hate it when I travel because you can't carry it on the plane. I have been known to stop by the local hardware store to pick up a cheap knife when out-of-town on business.
…that's an idea, they have the dollar shave club, why not the dollar knife club?! We could even have a knife pickup right outside the airport. Don't take my idea.
Monster MSTRatchet Knife Overview
First impressions when unboxing, I wasn't so sure how pleased I would be with the knife. After going over the knife in detail, it started to grow on me, and now I'm a fan. For an EDC (Every Day Carry) knife, testing proved quite well for the Monster MSTRatchet (mst-ratchet, as in a socket and ratchet) knife. This knife is not only designed by a true knife craftsman, but it is made from quality material and has some nice features.
The business-end (blade) of this knife is made from AUS 8 blade stainless steel. AUS 8 is a Japanese made stainless steel that has great blade retension, as well as having durability with the knife edge. To open the blade, a quick flip of the forefinger on the flipper swings the blade out quickly. A sturdy frame lock keeps the blade from unintentionally closing. Furthermore, there is very little wobble of the blade in the frame.
Being a pretty big guy, at 6'3", this knife does feel a little short in my hand. The knife is stubby, a short but wide blade, with the frame of the knife matching. Keep in mind, this knife is not small and probably fills the average hand. Even though the knife seems short in my hand, I prefer a knife that is slim and compact. Therefore, the size of the Monster MSTRatchet is actually a decent fit for me. I would like to have a little more jimping on the back of the blade and the finger hold, to enable a more secure grip.
Monster MSTRatchet Design
One side of this Monster MSTRatchet limited edition knife looks like a typical knife. The handle has a smooth finish and the belt clip is smooth with a Monster logo decal or print on the pocket clip. The opposite side of the knife looks and feels like satin aluminum, and the shape of a ratchet is embossed in the handle. Also, the "Monster" logo is embossed in the same side, just to remind you that you are a gearhead.
Monster MSTRatchet Knife Specs
AUS 8 Blade Steel
- Cold Forged Aluminum Handles
- Flipper for Fast Opening
- Satin Finish
- Folding Knife With Frame Lock
- Blade Length: 2.68″
- Knife Dimensions: Closed: 3.95″ Open:6.63″
- Knife Weighs: 3.6oz.
- Exclusive design made especially for Monster by Columbia River Knives/CRKT.
- Limited Edition – 5,000 made
- Ratchet inspired handle design
Using the Monster MSTRatchet Limited Edition Knife
For the past couple weeks, this MSTRatchet knife has been used for cutting apples, opening boxes, gutting fish, whittling wood, and cutting down straws for my younger kids. The AUS8 blade has stayed very sharp with little signs of wear or dulling. The handle is made of a forged aluminum that feels as though it's stainless, and the frame lock has kept the open blade in position.
At a MSRP of $99, the Monster MSTRatchet limited edition knife falls into a pretty common category. It's not a cheap knife purchased at the local box store, and it's not a knife you would find on the high-end of the market either. As an EDC, this knife may be a great choice for you. Additionally, the frame lock and blade are the key features, with the high-performing AUS 8 stainless steel.
If you like a slim knife, like me, then you should be very pleased. At the same time, the blade and body is pretty fat, so this may deter you as well. Knives are hard to recommend, hence it's almost like setting up someone on a date. Until you see it, talk to it and get to know the personality, you really don't know a good fit…I'm talking about the knife. Definitely, if you want a knife that reminds you of the tools you work with every day, then I doubt you will find another more fitting than the Monster MSTRatchet limited edition knife.

The New York City Board of Elections admitted on Tuesday that they left 135,000 test ballots on their machines prior to the election. These votes were included in the election night results.
But this would surely NEVER happen in a national election, right?
So was this an isolated incident?
Sidney Powell joined Newsmax back in November to discuss the developments in the 2020 election investigations.
During the interview Powell said 35,000 votes were added to every Democrat candidate in the state of Arizona.
Sidney Powell: We have other testimonial evidence that appears to be coming in now that indicates the Democrats literally added 35,000 votes to every Democrat candidate to begin with… Definitely, all over one state and I'd be willing to bet it happened everywhere.
To be clear, there was NEVER any proof presented that this took place.
However, in light of today's announcement from the New York Board of Elections, it certainly raises questions.

Ignorant and biased tests (comparisons)
Ignorant tests are probably the worst of all evils (in this case by the evil we mean cheating users by disorienting them and pushing towards the wrong choice). However, authors of these 'tests' do not want to do harm deliberately. Some of them are just ignorant (that is they don't understand what they do). The others express their love for a certain manufacturer in this original way, they sincerely try to 'help' it, and only few of them really lie for money. But regardless of the reasons of any ignorant reviewer, all these opuses have several discriminant marks that give them away.
Good prospects
Another favorite hook of marketing specialists, with which they catch even experienced users, is good prospects of a product. Here is how this bait works -- a practically useless property of a product is announced as its main advantage, because it's 'very promising'. It can be a new instruction set, 64 bits, integrated memory controller, SMT, more cores and whatnot. Ads and media wage massive propaganda, e.g., "You'll see that the new technology will prove its worth no later than in a year!" From our experience we know that it won't. And if it does, it will be a new product.
For one, devices that pioneered a new technology, especially the one not widely used, often act as engineering prototypes launched into production. They suffer from glitches, specification changes, etc. For two, the first devices supporting a new technology usually have price tags inadequate to their performance or functionality. That we can understand: enthusiasts are natural targets to pay through the nose. Later on such products are adapted to common users, and they don't like expensive products. For three, by the time the new technology really spreads (and it becomes useful in real applications), there will have been launched faster, more functional, and cheaper products. And your first product to support this technology will look like a dinosaur. By the way, there is also a very sad fourth point: technology may be simply rejected by the market, and everybody will forget about it in those 6-12 months (including the marketing specialist behind it).
So, if the promotional campaign of a processor is based mostly on its future prospects, know this: the marketing phrase "buy our incredibly promising product" translates as "We've designed something new, and in our opinion, it's great! But it's still rather buggy, and we are not sure whether anybody needs it right now. But if a lot of people buy this product, and we experiment much with it, we'll polish it to become mainstream." We pitch it strong, of course: there appear innovations that bring immediate benefits. But they are promoted in a different way: if a manufacturer is really proud of its product (except for 'good prospects' and 'innovations'), trust me, it won't forget to mention about it.
Are you surprised to see the price in a chapter devoted to false criteria? Do you resent such woeful ignorance of the author? Well, all the more useful for you to read this chapter. The price of a processor itself is indeed a false criterion for its comparison with other processors. Why? Because it's the same 'magic of numbers' ('wrong' numbers) as in case of power consumption. It's wrongness of the same type here: one numerical value is rated without regard to the others, even though they are interrelated. When you choose a processor, you automatically choose at least another two components: motherboard and memory. It's impossible to install AMD Athlon 64 into a motherboard for Intel Core 2 Duo. Intel Core i7 requires DDR3 memory, because it cannot work with any other memory type. These are only two simple examples, but they illustrate our main idea: when you choose a processor, you limit your choice of some other components.
Is it rational to regard CPU price in isolation from them? I don't think so. So it's just as unreasonable to conclude that a 200-dollar processor is better than a CPU for $250, if you don't analyze prices for those components you will be forced to buy by this cheaper processor. The cost of a motherboard and/or memory for this 'inexpensive' CPU may be so high that the 50-dollar difference in its price will make you pay much more for the rest. These are not just words -- there are a lot of real examples, and we don't hope that the situation will change cardinally in future. Here we involuntarily return to the last chapter devoted to basic criteria for choosing a CPU: the lack of integrated approach at any stage of choosing PC components (not only a CPU, but also many others) inevitably leads to a choice that is not the best and not the cheapest. So if you want to compare prices, do it with system units. Ideally, analyze possible prices for the entire computer. By the way, there is another reason to do it: if you take a look at several price variations, you may decide that those N dollars saved by choosing a given device do not make any difference.
We conclude the first theoretical (and even educational) part of the article devoted to problems of choosing a CPU. Some of you might have expected multi-page tables with technical characteristics, built-in system designer, or a step-by-step guide to choose an optimal processor 'with just five mouse clicks'. You may be indignant not to find the exact model to buy. Others may be displeased with too detailed explanations of evident issues. It's easier to calm the latter down: these issues are not that evident to everyone. Yes, sad, but true. It's harder with the former, but we'll try.
You see, if such a system designer had been possible, it would have been created long before us. And by the way, it would have left us all without the job -- why would anyone need independent test labs, if they could use this magic system designer? So its impossibility is empirically proved, for now at least. So what's left for you to do? You should use your head. Compare, analyze, challenge any information. Having collected enough data, you can finally make a deliberate logical choice. Tables with technical characteristics can be helpful here, of course. But they are updated almost on a weekly basis with the appearance of new products. Besides, they contain too many models (you should understand every characteristic, by the way: meaning, effect, etc.) Not all of you can afford this analysis, as it takes too much time. And such people do not need us. Technical characteristics can be obtained from lots of sources. We chose the other way and defined the main directions for analysis and tried to comment impartially on each vector -- which issues to pay attention to, which things to ignore, what is important right now, and what can become relevant in the nearest or distant future. We hope that it will help you choose the right processor for your needs. To choose it on your own, without our recommendations.
And if this issue is still a little foggy, we'll try to clear it up in the second part of this article "Typical Case Studies". A word of warning: we tried to take the first part out of time (so that it remained relevant long after it was written). But the second part will be tied to the current reality. So recommendations there will have a much shorter life.

I'd just turned sixteen. At that time, in my youth, I lived in my hometown, in a small village in the south of La Palma, called Bendito.
Back then people used to talk about a woman who arrived in town many years past. She lived in a small house in the 'White Valley'. The White Valley was covered with a mantle of white flowers during all the seasons of the year. The woman's house was next to the infamous hill: "The Nameless."
It was rumoured that The Nameless was a magic vortex. Whoever passed through it always came back with something extraordinary to tell. Good or bad, sometimes horrific, if they came back. Most people never returned from The Nameless. Even then, more than 60 years ago, I was too cool of a youngster to believe in "old wives' tales", but I always refrained from passing through the magic hill. I was not a curious child. I was fine with the conformity of the norm, and I took pride in that.

Reliance Jio User Base Likely To Touch 400 Million By March 2020: Analysts
Reliance Jio Infocomm is likely to have well over 400 million customers by March 2020, including nearly 150 million JioPhone users, helped by big gains in rural markets, said analysts. They expect parent Reliance Industries to shortly deploy an omni-channel strategy to cross-sell a mix of retail products and telecom and digital content services. CLSA estimates Jio's subscriber base to be 414 million by March 2020, which would be equal to 45% of India's population in the 14-to-80-year age group.
The foreign brokerage estimates also that the telecom and retail businesses will contribute as much as 80% to the parent's consolidated Ebitda growth through FY18-21. Jio's June-end subscriber base was a shade over 215 million based on data collated by the telecom regulator.
BNP Paribas said Jio is doing "especially well in rural markets" as rivals lag on 4G coverage and because of the success of the JioPhone that had "sold 25 million devices by June 2018". Analysts believe Jio's high average customer engagement level of 290 minutes a day, coupled with the prospect of some 150 million subscribers using JioPhone — the 4G featurephones supplied by Reliance Industries —can be tapped to generate sizeable ad revenue opportunities. – Gadgets Now

Free Comic Day Haul
They had 25% off everything in the store (except for some recent comics and specific merchandise). The also has some local artists and writers from various comics, so I was able to add to my Sketch book. For more on that, you can check ot out on my Green Dragons Den website later this week. They had some cool displays like a full sized Hulk and a female manikin wrapped in comic book pages (sorry for the poor shots as it was taken on my cell phone)
I was surprised that they actually had a small niche of Anime/Manga stuff. Mostly Gundam, Final Fantasy figures and one book case of Manga. I wish they would of had more, but I guess I got spoiled with Tate's. I was still able to find something though - heeheehee.
As you can see in the shot, I have finally purchased my first Gundam Figure for myself. I went all out on the Gundam Fix Figuration #0034 GP03S Stamen. It was $79.99, so with the discount, I was able to get it at $60.00. My wife thought it was pretty cool and gave me the green light to get it.
I will be doing a photo shoot of the new Gundam figure and hope to have that up in a couple weeks.
Did anyone go to any of the Free Comic Book Day celebrations around your area?

very good actually D:
Oooh nice gundam figure, review now!
That third image is interestingly creepy.ReplyDelete
I didn't get a chance to go to comic day... :(
Congrats in getting your first step into Gundam! I love their HULK! You never asked your son to stand beside that HULK for a photo? I know I will. LOLReplyDelete
@ Fabrice ~ should have something up on a 2 part photo shoot for the gundam on next fridayReplyDelete
@Yi ~ the third image was a lower quality pic, so made it a bit odd
@ LEon ~ It was so crowded there that day - I will have to do that on my next visit :)

Hello, I am a 36 year old male and have had hep c for about five years.
For the past 9 months or so I have had a lot of pain in my abdominal upper right side.
I have had a series of x-rays, ultrasound, CT scans, and blood work to have my enzymes checked and everything returned normal.
My question is what is the answer for this pain and does this mean it will continue to progress? The pain seems to be very sharp just below my rip cage but radiates into my stomach and all the way back to my hip.
I also have noticed to have more than usual gas sounds coming from my stomach.
Please if anyone has any thoughts to let me know.
Thank You.

Halo developer responds to rumors of battle royale mode in Halo Infinite
Halo Infinite will be the third chapter in the Reclaimer Saga.
Following rumors from a supposed 'insider' that the upcoming Halo Infinite will feature its own, unique battle royale mode, 343 Industries' own Frank O'Connor has replied.
[ad name="article1″]
Insider claims Halo Infinite will feature battle royale
There have plenty been rumors about the upcoming Halo installment, as long time fans speculate about what will be included in the game. A battle royale mode would follow recent gaming community trends, as FPS giants Call of Duty and Battlefield have both incorporated battle royale modes off the back of Fortnite's incredible success.
These rumors were sent into overdrive on April 19, after Brad Sims made a YouTube video stating that a unique battle royale mode will be included, as well as the game being made on an enormous $500 million budget.
What have Halo developers said in response?
Given the understandable attention this video drew from Halo fans, 343 Industries employee and Halo Infinite developer took it upon himself to reply. The reply, on popular video game internet forum 'ResetERA', states that they [343] will not discuss the game's content in detail "until they are ready".
Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest updates on Esports, Gaming and more.
"I haven't watched the video so if I am misinterpreting the headline as "'Halo Infinite is launching with/as a Halo Battle Royale mode" that is still not the case," O'Connor continues. "You can probably make your own Battle Royale mode in Forge even right now though. It's a mode not a genre."
The post goes on to compare Apex Legends and Fortnite, pointing out the incredible variety that is already on offer in regards to battle royale games.
It finishes by stating that they are not currently working on a specific battle royale mode in the same way Call of Duty incorporated Blackout. However, Halo's customisation possibilities make a battle royale mode potentially plausible, particularly given the fact that launch modes are "subject to change till quite late in the process".

This recipe will show you how to make cannabis syrup for your personal use or as a gift. Cannabis syrup is an excellent way to medicate without smoking and it can be used in many different ways. Check out the instructions below for how to make cannabis syrup!
What is cannabis syrup?
Cannabis syrup is a cannabis extract that has been diluted in water and sugar. It's a great way to medicate without smoking, it can be used in many different ways including baking or adding as part of your coffee.
Cannabis Syrup is considered a healthy alternative to THC and CBD. It's made from fresh cannabis flowers, pure cane sugar, water, and alcohol (optional). The syrup can be used in many ways including as a sweetener or an additive for drinks or recipes.
How to make cannabis syrup
– 500 grams of sugar
– 600 ml water
– 28 grams of cannabis
To make cannabis syrup, first, start with a large pot of water and add in the sugar. Once it's mixed well you'll want to bring it to a simmer on your stovetop over low heat. Next, pour the decarboxylated cannabis into the mix and cover for at least an hour or until all liquid is absorbed by the plant material
Now remove from heat and strain mixture through cheesecloth or nut milk bag (these are both great options) for cleanup before pouring back into the original container. It should be stored in the fridge between uses due to its propensity to mold easily if left too long at room temperature!
What does cannabis syrup taste like?
Cannabis syrup has no particular flavor so people tend to put it in other beverages that have a flavor, like coffee or tea.
Cannabis syrup effects
As cannabis has a noticeable effect on the mind, it can be difficult to know how it will affect you alone. Generally speaking, people who are new or inexperienced with cannabis should start by taking only small doses of cannabis syrup that they administer orally – so no more than an ounce at first
Finally: If you loved this post and want more about making cannabis syrups then please subscribe for updates! I'm also happy to answer any questions in the comments below if you're not sure what's going on.
How long does cannabis syrup last?
The syrup lasts about three months when stored correctly and kept refrigerated between uses!
Recipes for using cannabis syrup
– Coffee: Add cannabis syrup to coffee and stir in. Optionally add milk for a latte effect.
– Smoothie: Add cannabis syrup to a smoothie and enjoy.
– Yogurt: Add some yogurt with cannabis syrup or just stir it in – like any other fruit flavor!
– Hot chocolate: Heat some milk, pour it over your favorite hot cocoa mix or powder, then top with cannabis syrup!
– Tea: Pour boiling water over tea leaves of choice (green, black), let steep between three and five minutes before adding cannabis syrup to taste. This is especially great for late-night use when you don't want the caffeine from regular tea.
– Cocktails: Use our cannabis syrup as an ice cube recipe or any other fruity concoction that needs sweetening such as lemonade or smoothies!
Side effects of using cannabis syrup
Side effects of cannabis syrup: There are no side effects to consuming cannabis syrup.
Long-term use and risks associated with it: Marijuana is not a physically addictive substance, but you may experience withdrawal symptoms if you stop using marijuana after prolonged periods of regular use. If used chronically over an extended period, the drug can lead to reduced cognitive ability in some people as well as increased anxiety or depression. Heavy users who quit taking marijuana cold turkey have reported experiencing painful withdrawal symptoms such as cravings for the drug, sleeplessness, mood swings, and irritability which last from one week up to three months depending on how long they had been chronic users before quitting. Anyone considering stopping their cannabis use must seek professional assistance including therapy and other treatment options.
What can you do to help someone who is experiencing cannabis withdrawal symptoms?
– Talk with them about their plan for quitting, and encourage them not to go it alone
– Provide a list of resources that are available in the community such as support groups or counseling services
– Encourage healthy lifestyle changes such as eating well, practicing mindfulness exercises, getting plenty of rest and exercise; these will all help manage stress levels that may have contributed to heavy cannabis use.
– Offer to do an activity together, or provide them with a list of activities they can try on their own.
– Help them find other sources of pleasure and accomplishment.
Each person will experience cannabis withdrawal differently depending on many different factors such as how long they have used cannabis; the amount typically consumed each day; what type of cannabis was being used (e.g., edibles versus smoking); whether it is smoked, vaped, or ingested through another means; if there are additional substances present in addition to cannabis that is contributing to cravings and anxiety levels
The range of possible symptoms experienced by those experiencing early abstinence from chronic use includes difficulty sleeping, appetite loss, weight loss or gain, sweating/chills/goose.
It's easy to purchase cannabis syrup from dispensaries, but it's more economical and fun to make your own. This recipe is a great way for anyone looking for a healthier alternative or who would like the opportunity to experiment with different strains. For best results, use high-quality ingredients (e.g., organic sugar), follow the steps closely, and don't rush through any of them! We hope this article has provided you with all the information needed on how to make cannabis syrup at home using our tried and true methods that have been proven over time by countless customers. If there are other questions we can answer about making delicious cannabis syrups in bulk or anything else related to CBD oil products please contact us at the email below.

We as comic book fans are a community that is known to be vocal and to express our concern when we do not agree with something. I can attest to this, since I have done this myself. But where should we draw the line? Inspired by an article on the website, The Daily Beast article and by a discussion in one of my classes that was about gendered power and violence. I can only hope that this article can inspire you and others to stop this type of behavior or actions in person or online.
In a recent article posted on website, The Daily Beast, it discusses how comic book journalist and former DC Comics editor, Janelle Asselin discussed how she felt about the new Teen Titans cover. While she felt that the cover was not up to her standards, she was soon bashed over her critique by fans. The fans called her various derogative terms and she even received threats of rape.
Another example, is of the casting of the Man of Steel sequel. Batman vs. Superman, as the media is dubbing it; fans everywhere are critiquing a film that has not even been released yet. Many of us fans agreeing an disagree about Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and most famous around media, Ben Affleck as Batman. Watch the film when it comes out and from there you can give your "review" on it. Until then, relax and just enjoy the ride.
It is understandable that as fans that we are passionate about our favorite characters but why should we become so hateful and contemptuous. We as comic book fans are supposed to be a community that is supporting of the medium, which we love so much. Yet, we have become so cynical and hateful towards each other and the creative forces behind the comics, films and shows our favorite characters are a part of.
Why must we as fans be so hurtful towards each other? Especially in a storytelling media format that created characters that are meant to better the world and inspire everyone, young and old. We as comic book fans have become so judgmental and critical about every little thing. I know I've been there and I'm trying to stop doing that. We need to be more respectful towards each other. It is okay to be critical and analytical but be respectful about it. Don't get to the point where you hate the medium you once loved.

Net retailers gear up for holidays
In the lazy days of summer, online retailers are already preparing for what they hope will be the biggest holiday shopping season ever on the Net.
Forrester Research, which says online sales to consumers in the last quarter of 1997 hit $1 billion, thinks the numbers might double for the last three months of 1998. Even $3 billion is not out of question, says Kate Delhagen, director of Forrester's online retail research service.
Scott Smith of Current Analysis doesn't do numbers, but he thinks doubling 1997 holiday sales is entirely reasonable.
"Particularly as folks like Macy's enter the picture, they can quickly add to [holiday revenues]," said Delhagen, who expects the Macy's online store to have more than 250,000 items for sale by the holiday season. "The booksellers will be extremely aggressive--we're talking about a very big quarter."
Part of the optimism about online holiday sales is based on consumer Christmas sales of personal computers last year, plus falling PC prices since then. Smith jokes, for example, that dirt-cheap prices have him mulling a PC under the Christmas tree for his son, now two months old.
"Last year we were in the early adopter phase," said Genni Combes, Internet retail analyst at brokerage Hambrecht & Quist. "Now it's going to hit the mainstream in terms of consumers getting comfortable on the Net."
Online merchants are already well into their holiday preparations, which include a little shopping of their own. This week, Amazon.com acquired the Junglee database-driven shopping service, a logical companion to its online music store, expected to debut by year's end. The Junglee Shopping Guide, which makes it easier for shoppers to find items on the Net, has more than 15 million items in its database.
Amazon is madly hiring customer service reps to assure good service for Christmas, Combes added.
Forrester's Delhagen sees Hollywood Entertainment's July 31 purchase of Internet video store Reel.com as another example of holiday preparation. Hollywood Entertainment runs video-rental chain Hollywood Video in the physical world.
In June, Yahoo paid $49 million for Viaweb, a Web storefront hosting service that has been rechristened Yahoo Store. In an interview then, Yahoo chief operations officer Jeff Mallett said the goal was to be ready for the fall shopping season.
eToys is hoping for a big autumn, with chief executive Toby Lenk deciding to skip the giant fall Comdex computer trade show to stay home and help the elves in his workshop. Toys 'R' Us is girding up for the holidays, too.
One reason Net retailers are focused on Christmas has nothing to do with 1998 sales: they are counting on new customers this fall to return next year and beyond.
"Amazon.com already has 3 million customers, and I wouldn't be surprised if it adds 2 million more by the end of the year," said H&Q's Combes. The online book merchant said 40 percent of sales come from repeat customers, so new book buyers for Christmas should mean jollier revenues well into 1999.
Other Net retailers hope Santa will bring them such loyal gift buyers, too.

When I retired as a school superintendent, many of my sweet colleagues gave me special mementos to remind me of our time together. Two special friends gave me this beautiful artwork.
I wanted to enjoy it as I work in my office (I do education consultant work and work on Life with Neal and Suz blog). My office is in our loft. I love it because I can look down on our kitchen and main living area. I can also see the lake ⛵ while I work. My craft room ✂ is adjacent to my office. It is truly my happy place! The ceiling is slanted above the knee wall. I thought it would be cool to hang a picture above my desk. In other words, I wanted to hang it over my desk . . . on the ceiling! First, Neal installed these keyhole brackets. On a personal note, I love how my sweet friends wrote a personal note on the back. That made it extra special. But now . . . how to secure this to the ceiling? ? This is where hangITstrips came in handy! This is actually a product that Neal and I make and sell online. Click here to see how to use them to hang pictures with two brackets; they pinpoint the exact location for the nail without all the crazy measuring.
Below is how we used them to hang this picture on the ceiling. There is adhesive that sticks to the frame. Here is a a picture with both hangITstrips adhered to the top two keyhole brackets. We placed the artwork on the wall where we wanted it and then adhered the top of the hangITstrips to the wall. Typically, we would use a level to ensure the frame is straight, but we used the edge of the wood plank as our guide this time. We pulled down on the frame and the hangITstrips broke to pinpoint the exact location for our screw. The picture below shows where the hourglass part of the hangITstrips broke to pinpoint the exact location for the screw. The hangITstrips are hanging due to gravity; however, when you press them down (see picture below), the point (where the hourglass broke) pinpoints the exact location for the screws. Now we installed screws. We used hangITstrips again on the bottom two keyholes to pinpoint the exact location for these screws. We inserted the top keyhole brackets on the top screws and then gently pulled up this time to break the hangITstrips. The hourglass on the hangITstrips broke pinpointed the exact location for our bottom screws. (Again, gravity caused them to hang over.) However, when we smoothed down each hangITstrip, they pinpointed exactly where to install our bottom screws. We installed the two bottom screws and secured the artwork on the ceiling! VOILA! I enjoy this beautiful and sentimental artwork each time I work at my desk. If you want to simplify hanging artwork or pictures on any surface, order hangITstrips here and use promo code LifeWithNealandSuz to get at 25% discount.
hangITstrips help you pinpoint the exact location for the nail/screw without all the crazy measuring and ensure that your artwork is level. Check out more how to videos here about hangITstrips or visit hangITstrips YouTube page. Some people use masking or painter's tape, but if the brackets on the picture are not the same distance from the top of the frame, you will go crazy trying to get this right. hangITstrips automatically compensate for any difference.
Let me know what you think about how we hung this artwork on the ceiling. Also, ask any questions you have about hangITstrips. Happy Hanging!

"Your walls are the foundation of your home. The weather out there will not be nice and you need to pay special attention to your house's exterior walls. It is not enough to paint your wall. The paint will start peeling off after a while because of the weather and the heat of the outside environment."
Thus, waterproofing is the best way to ensure that your walls are protected and retain your house's longevity. At the same time, it is vital to reduce your frequent renovation cost. So, here are some of the simple steps for providing effective waterproofing solutions to your home.
Damp carpets and beneath wall coverings can be the most prominent place for mold and mildew growth. Finishing a basement without first dealing with the moisture problems can make health conditions worse and lead to significant damage. Interior waterproofing systems, installed by a professional contractor, can keep the moisture away throughout the home.
Step 1: Properly expose the outside part of the wall
To start with waterproofing your exterior walls, make sure it is properly exposed to work on. Your house walls possess a lot of dirt, which creates an additional layer over the wall. Get rid of all the filth and dust from the walls. And before doing so, remove all the drainage pipes and the old field tiles to get proper access to every corner and area of the wall.
Step 2: Thoroughly clean the walls
"The outer part of your home's wall is usually covered with a lot of dust and dirt from the air. To make sure the process is efficient, you need to clear off the debris and dust. The dirt and debris can be cleaned with a broom, brush, or sandpaper. Then use a power washer to clean it off."
Step 3: Check out for the cracks and fill them up
Cracks and holes can develop over time on your exterior walls. To make sure you get proper weatherproofing, you need to find all the cracks and holes on your wall. Then fill them with cement.
Most of the homeowners get worried about cracks in the foundation. But the fact is, not all foundation cracks affect the home's structural integrity. Sometimes cracks can be caused by shrinkage during the concrete curing process. These unsightly, non-structural shrinkages, commonly known as hairline cracks, don't put your home in immediate danger. But on the other hand, structural cracks are serious business.
All over the internet and TV you find websites and programs with step-by-step guides of DIY foundation repair. But the truth is that a foundation should not be experimented on in a DIY project. Foundation repair requires years of experience and specialized tools. When it comes to foundation repair, contact a foundation repair expert.
The cement mixture seals the cracks. Before applying the cement, you should remove the loose cement from the wall.
Step 4: Add a layer of cement waterproofing sealer
To ensure the proper application of waterproof on your wall, you need to apply a cement waterproofener. After applying the cement in the crevices, let it dry and then apply the waterproof paint seal for the exterior walls. Allow it to become dry.
Step 5: Pick the right water-proofer
There are many products in the market. You need to pick the right one for your wall. The water-proofer should be chosen based on whether the wall is concrete or silicate.
You can choose between a concrete coating, paint, or seal. Pick a plaster waterproof Additive that will strengthen your walls.
Step 6: Apply the water-proofer
Apply the water-proofer thoroughly on the walls with a roller or brush. If you want to apply more than one layer, give a thin coat first. The first coating should be dry before the second one is added.
Step 7: Apply tar and heavy-duty membrane
Once you have dried the cement, you need to use a tar-based pitch to strengthen the layers. It is applied on your wall.
After that, you need to apply a heavy-duty plastic or rubber membrane for waterproofing, which will ensure the proper care of your walls.
Step 8: Consider adding gravel
The trench needs a proper base below the footer to be laid. The drainage pipes will get adequate support from a 34 inch gravel base. Gravel is long- lasting and provides enhanced protection.
You need to lay the drainage pipe-cover and gravel. To level the gravel, go near the footer. A covering for the pipe should be at least 3-inches.
Step 9: Add a fabric barrier
"The fabric barrier is needed to secure the pipe. Ensuring a fabric barrier is going to prevent the formation of dirt and keep your system free of gunk. Then back-fill the trench and build the top of the dirt relatively high and allow it to settle for a while. Slope the ground away from your walls after you're done."
Your home will be a new life and strong enough to deal with outside weather issues. Magicrete can help you with good waterproof solutions for your walls. Magicrete offers a very low and affordable price for proper weatherproofing.

Review: Cabaret by Texas State University
by Michael Meigs
Christopher Isherwood's stories of 1930's Berlin, that sink of jolly depravity, have transmuted since their 1945 publication. First reworked as John Van Druten's play I Am A Camera, then chosen by Kander and Ebb for the 1966 musical, the strange weird world became the 1972 film in which Michael York seemed clueless and Liza Minelli was a heedless chanteuse indifferent both to conventional morals and to the storm gathering over Germany.
Here we are, fifty-two years farther along, and Cabaret is still a favorite. The tunes are memorable, the setting is still exotic, and almost any young person thrills at the libidinous freedom of the imaginary Kit-Kat Club in tawdry Berlin. It's a coming-of-age story, a barely fictionalized account of Isherwood's own experiences there as a runaway from his upper class origins and from conventional sexuality. Protagonist Cliff Bradshaw is abashed and pretty bloodless, attracted to the extravagant Sally Bowles as a moth is to a flame.
Director Tom Delbello makes the most of the rich resources of the Texas State musical theatre program to put on this show. It could have been yet another warhorse production like so many others, winking and leering a bit in mostly innocent celebration. The first Broadway staging in 1966 occured in those heady times when idealism and the contraceptive pill were promising new freedoms and thrills, much like those that Isherwood and his avatar had sought in Berlin. John Frederickson as protagonist Cliff Bradshaw arrives in Berlin in snowfall, carrying an overnight case and a typewriter. He's quickly taken in and introduced both to landlady Fraulein Schneider and to the city's demi-monde.
Nick Eibler hosts us as the Emcee at the Kit-Kat Club with his confident line of patter and mockery. The pep, blank face and orange wig appear to mask pain and a degree of mystery, for he's puppeting with the club performers without revealing anything about himself. The Emcee and others from the club are watchful throughout, lingering at the edges of other scenes or surveying from the high platform.
This is a Cabaret reworked for contemporary times. It's forthright about the sexual tangles but Delbello and his cast give it a darker tone. Nick Eibler as the M.C. is energetic, eye-catching and androgynous. Touches of S&M are added, including the memorable first singing of "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" during which gaudily garbed male choristers mime tormenting Eibler by strapping him into a tight corset. A bouncing, prancing female chorus line turns out to include Cameron Sirian as Buddy the gay romper; Sirian and an uncredited but attractive and energetic chorine, along with Eibler, make up the saucy trio for the number "Two Ladies." Those fresh-faced Kit-Kat girls get increasingly haggard as the events unfold, makeup smearing and running. Once Sally has abandoned Cliff and returned to the club, her face receives that same treatment at the hands of an intent showgirl.
Logan-Rae as Sally Bowles is determined and direct, without a hint of cuddle or giggle. Her rendition of the "Cabaret" ballad at the close, all the way downstage, carries regret and a sense of fatality, very much in keeping with Eibler's numb "I Don't Care" just minutes before in the act.
Anna Rose Daugherty stands out against this background in her portrayal of the sensible, matter-of-fact landlady Fraulein Schneider. She has endured much, without complaint ("So What?") and her tempered reaction to the clumsy courtship of Herr Schultz (Grayson Samuels) speaks of the small joys so greatly threatened by political events. Daugherty's composure in a world disintegrating into fascism is the only hint of hope and survival - an apt reminder for our own day.
The visuals of the ending scene are harrowing. Eibler as the Emcee has lost all his mirth. Dressed in striped prison garb marked with a pink triangle, he turns his back to the audience and walks upstage, disappearing through smoke and swirl into a vast structure that appears constructed of poured concrete. Cliff, standing once again downstage right with luggage and notebook, makes a discovery that leaves him horror-stricken.
The technical arts gleam in service to the work as a whole. It's a treat to have Greg Bolin directing a twelve-piece show orchestra in the pit. Choreography by Jacob Burns and Beau Harmon is swift and sure; as with Delbello's direction, it engages every performer onstage.
This warhorse of American musical theatre was up and rearing, not about to give up. A memorable and very twenty-first-century evening.
[A pedant's quibble: Cliff's an educated young man and evidently well read, so he should know that the last name of French writer Marcel Proust is not pronounced "Prowst." It rhymes with "boost."]

Happy Monday, everybody!
Tomorrow is the 1-year anniversary of my launching this blog, Mondays & Memories of My Mom. I started this to honor my mom's legacy as the ORIGINAL Secret RecipesTM Detective. The title, Recipe DetectiveTM, which Mom eventually trademarked, was bestowed on her in the mid-1970s by the Detroit area radio listeners of Bob Allison's "Ask Your Neighbor" show, as she continuously called in with answers to recipe quandaries on how to make just about anything; and she, forever, savored the honor!
Early on, as a mother of five ravenous, young children on a tight household budget, Mom had a knack for discovering ways to imitate fast food and junk food, as well as famous restaurant dishes and grocery items right at home, in her own kitchen, with what she had on hand – no fancy gadgets or expensive, hard-to-find ingredients. Mom liked to claim that her gadgets were always hard to find because we kids would take them for playing with in the sand box.
But, I think Mom's pioneer trailblazing of the copycat recipes movement for imitating fast food and junk food, in particular, was the ultimate carving out of a totally unique niche that no other person, at that time, had ever attempted. For decades, great restaurants have put out cookbooks of recipes of their famous dishes – The Blueberry Hills Cookbook by Elsie Masterton was probably Mom's favorite – but, no one else was doing recipes to mimic the fast food and junk food markets that were considered taboo by the food critics!
Mom's copycat recipes revolution took the nation by storm and washed over the world – thanks to the Phil Donahue Show – like a tidal wave! Ever since her early cookbooks on the subject were first released in the mid-1970s, Mom referred to her copycat imitations as her solutions to "eating out – at home", and that, she'd add, no longer meant hot dogs on the grill, outside, in the yard!
Word spread like a wildfire that a small town, Michigan housewife was duplicating famous foods from famous places and sharing her secrets in her self-published newsletter issues and cookbooks! Radio stations, newspapers, magazines and television – they all picked up on the story and it snowballed from there.
Sometimes, Mom received letters from her readers, people across the country and around the world, who didn't have the same products in their area that Mom used in some of her recipes, asking what they should use in its place. That inspired her to create even more recipes for ingredients that were expensive or hard to find in certain regions. She was always focused on saving families money because that also benefitted her own family.
Secret RecipesTM was Mom's legacy of love – even before it actually became Secret RecipesTM. It all stemmed from her passion for writing. Although, Mom's original writing aspirations, when she was a young girl (influenced by a movie about the Bronte sisters), was to write a great American novel; she believed that Devine Intervention detoured her to write about other things, but never away from writing, itself.
Every success Mom had in writing, was usually centered around cooking and homemaking – from the many essay contests that she entered and won to her multiple careers in the newspaper field to writing her own columns and cartoon panels and, then, her own newsletter publication, along with multitudes of cookbooks (which she also published and promoted herself).
Writing was never a hobby to Mom. She used to say that being a writer isn't what she did but, rather, who she was! In a lot of her publishings, Mom loved to say that, while she made a worthwhile living at writing, it was her writing that made living worthwhile. My mom had a special talent for combining food for thought with food for the soul, as well as food for the table – usually sprinkled with a dash of sarcastic humor – in almost all of her publishings.
As seen in…
Gloria Pitzer's Cookbook – The Best of the Recipe Detective (Balboa Press; Jan. 2018, p. 6)
I DO, WITH RECIPES, WHAT RICH LITTLE DOES WITH VOICES! Imitating the 'Secret Recipes' of the food industry has been an exciting experience for me. The critics felt that "fast foods" and restaurant dishes were not worth the effort to duplicate at home, when you can just as easily buy the products already prepared!
The critics who contend that 'fast foods' are 'junk foods' and not good for us, have probably never prepared these foods themselves. Certainly, they have no access to the closely guarded recipes from the food companies that created these dishes, as there are only a few people in each operation that are permitted the privilege of such information! So, 99% of the critics' speculations are based on their own opinions.
To know what these dishes contained, they'd have to be better chemists than I, as I have tested over 20,000 recipes with only the finished product as my guide to determine what each contained. 'Fast foods' are not 'junk foods' unless they're not properly prepared. Any food that is poorly prepared (and just as badly presented) is junk!
Unfortunately, 'fast food' has carried a reputation, by default, of containing ingredients that are 'harmful' to us. Yet, they contain the same ingredients as those foods served in the 'finer' restaurants with wine stewards, linen tablecloths, candlelight, coat-check attendants, and parking valets; which separate the plastic palaces of 'fast food' from the expensive dining establishments.
One 'eats' at McDonald's, but 'dines' at The Four Seasons. Steak and potato or hamburger and French fries – the ingredients are practically the same. How they are prepared makes the difference!
In the early 70s, I was trying to juggle marriage, motherhood, homemaking and a newspaper column syndicated through Columbia Features, when it seemed obvious to me that there wasn't a single cookbook on the market that could help me take the monotony out of mealtime. There was not a single recipe in the newspaper's food section that did not smack of down-home dullness!
'Okay,' they said at the newspaper I worked for, 'YOU write the column on foods and recipes that YOU think would really excite the readers and make them happy!' I did, but that didn't make the Editors happy, because it made their [food industry] advertisers miserable. When I was told that I'd have to go back to monotonous meatloaf and uninteresting side-dishes that made mealtime a ritual rather than a celebration or pick up my check, I told them to 'MAIL it to me!' I went home to start my own paper!
It was probably a dumb thing to do, amid an economic recession with the highest rate of unemployment I had ever experienced, but it was worth the risk. I was a dedicated writer that new someone had to give homemakers something more than what they were being given in the colored glossy magazines, where a bowl of library paste could even be photographed to look appetizing!
…THEY LAUGHED! THEY DOUBTED! They even tried to take me to court when some famous food companies insisted that I stop giving away their secrets. They couldn't believe me when I said that I did NOT know, nor did I want to know, what they put in their so-called secret recipes. I did know that there are very few recipes that can't be duplicated or imitated at home. And we could do them for much less than purchasing the original product. I proved…it can be and should be done!
FAMOUS FOODS FROM FAMOUS PLACES have intrigued good cooks for a long time… There is speculation among the critics as to the virtues of re-creating, at home, the foods that you can buy 'eating out', such as the fast food fares of the popular franchise restaurants. To each, his own! Who would want to imitate 'fast food' at home?
I found that over a million people who saw me demonstrate replicating some famous fast food products [the FIRST time I was] on The Phil Donahue Show (July 7, 1981) DID – and their letters poured in at a rate of over 15,000 a day for months on end! And while I have investigated the recipes, dishes, and cooking techniques of 'fine' dining rooms around the world, I received more requests from people who wanted to know how to make things like McDonald's Special Sauce or General Foods Shake-N-Bake coating mix or White Castle's hamburgers than I received for those things like Club 21's Coq Au Vin.
I inherited Mom's love for writing (among other things) and, now, that has become my legacy of love also, as I carry on her torch, telling her story in this blog. It really became my own legacy of love in 2015, when I began helping Mom rewrite her favorite, self-published cookbook, Gloria Pitzer's Better Cookery Cookbook. Shortly before Mom passed away in January 2018, it was published by Balboa Press, under the title Gloria Pitzer's Cookbook – The Best of the Recipe Detective, in hopes to inspire a new generation – especially the digital generation, as it's now available as an eBook too!
I can only hope that I've made my mom proud of how I've been keeping her torch lit and shining bright by telling her story… her legacy of love… with regards especially to this blog series, as well as to the website and her last cookbook; developing and promoting them, in her memory and honor, with all of the love and passion that she inspires in me.
Mom was such a huge influence on who I grew to be that I feel compelled to keep her torch lit and shining bright! Her love of writing and cooking and inspiring others in the same was, to me, one of the biggest parts of her legacy. It wasn't something she did just for our family, but for all families.
My mom continues to inspire me every time I read her works… every time I write an entry for this blog… every time I hear from a reader who remembers Mom and has a story to tell me about their memories of her. It all inspires me to take this blog and her website to new heights in her honor. It's still a work in progress. I'll be honest – it'll probably always be a work in progress, as I'll always continue to evolve as a writer/blogger.
One of my favorite and youngest memories of Mom & I is from the summer before I turned 4 and she was teaching me how to write my name and address before I went to school that September – from showing me how to hold the pencil in my little fingers to how to draw the letters and form the words by putting those wonderful letters together…I can remember it well.
Something else Mom inspired in me is my passion to continually learn new things. Besides being grateful for something every day, Mom would also promote learning something new every day. From that, I've determined, every day is a defining moment for each and every one of us, in which experience, faith and knowledge, all together, influence our personal evolutions. That's why we should seize those moments and those days and do our best to make the most out of them!
Although, Labor Day was a couple weeks ago, marking the unofficial start to the fall season; next Monday is actually the official first day of Autumn 2019! When I think of the fall season, I think of warm, slow-cooker meals, soups and chili. With that in mind, I want to share Mom's recipe for a potato-cheese soup like Bennigan's, which Mom called "Beginagain's Awesome Potato Cheese Soup".
Gloria Pitzer's Cookbook – The Best of the Recipe Detective is available for sale, at $20.99 each, through the publisher, Balboa Press, at https://www.balboapress.com/Bookstore/BookDetail.aspx?BookId=SKU-001062252; it's also available in eBook form, for $3.99, at https://www.balboapress.com/Bookstore/BookDetail.aspx?BookId=SKU-001062253

Brand New Paul Cook and the Chronicles
We've let Paul Cook and the Chronicles grace our pages quite frequently, as I'm of a huge fan of the songwriting. There's a purity to his approach, sometimes wearing the influences of his heroes, but usually just relying upon his great knack to create sweet melodies. Here in Austin, the air just got cooler, the sun's out and feel like a this tune is the perfect way to take you all into the weekend. It's a carefree tune, with Paul's vocals layered to maximize their ability to hook listeners. His new Until I Fall AsleepEP will be available on November 18th…and he promises more EPs to come in the next little while. But for now, happy Friday with this uplifting jam.

That's why the drivers of FTC Transportation, banner carriers of Feed the Children, proudly deliver the food and supplies that struggling American families so desperately need.

Hello, this is Jackeline from the ECD Design Team. I am always excited to show you beautiful projects using dies from the Els van de Burgt Studio collection. For this week I created a photo frame.
Let's get started:
- Cut 3 pieces of 7" x 4 1/4" cardstock: 2 pieces in brown and 1 in pink.
- Die cut the shorter end of each piece using the main tag shape die from Tags & More 7 –Vine.
- Use one of the oval decorative dies from the Accordion Oval Card set to cut an oval opening in the pink cardstock tag. Refer to project photo for placement.
- Using Clear Double Sided Adhesive, adhere the two brown pieces to each other for added stability.
- Adhere the pink tag to the brown double-layer tag and die cut again with the same oval, taking care when lining up the die so it is precisely within the opening on the pink tag. (You will be cutting only the brown cardstock layers.)
- Lightly ink the edges of the tag using Frayed Burlap Distress Ink.
- Using your paper trimmer, cut a piece of pattern paper to 5.25″ x 4.25″. (Shown: Pink and brown polka dot pattern.) Add Clear Double Sided Adhesive tap (1/8″ width/3mm) to 1 of the longer sides and 1 of the short sides.
- Place this piece on the back of the frame with the open side at the top to form a pocket for the photo.
- Die cut a brown cardstock easel using the Card Stand/Easel die.
- Use Clear Double Sided Adhesive to attach one half of the easel to the back of the frame as shown in the photo, leaving the other half folded forward to hold the frame at an angle. NOTE: This is a different way to use the Card Stand/Easel. It is most often used as a true easel with the card or tag on it for temporary display. If you prefer this option, do not attach the easel to the back of the project.
To Decorate the frame:
11. Add Clear Double Sided Adhesive to Soft Finish Cardstock and die cut two flower clusters with the Flower Cluster 2 die.
12. Ink the flower clusters with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink.
13. Place the flower clusters onto the frame at the bottom left and upper right as shown in the project photo. Trim at the edges as needed. Embellish flower centers with flat-backed pearls as shown, or with gems or Glitter Dots peel-offs. Add a sheer brown ribbon bow to match the brown cardstock.
The frame is ready, now it is time to pick your favorite picture.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and remember that there is more than one way to use our dies.
Happy Crafting!!!
