Congratulations to BroadbandTV Corp., 2012's most innovative company in B.C.
With 48 hours of video uploaded to YouTube every minute, it's easy to see how trying to maintain control over copyright material can be expensive and time-consuming. BroadbandTV CEO Shahrzad Rafati turned prevailing models upside down by finding a way to continue feeding consumers an endless supply of free video while making it profitable for the content owners.
The idea behind BroadbandTV's innovation is simple: if you can't beat 'em, join 'em – and charge 'em for it. "We help content owners unlock the value of their content online," says Rafati.
BroadbandTV has two ways of handling proprietary content. It might acquire licences for the content by partnering with its owners, and then package, optimize and distribute it through BroadbandTV's own consumer portal, VISO. Or it might trawl the Internet to find fan-uploaded content. When it does, it contacts the fan, urges them to comply with policies and guidelines established by the content's publishers (a slap on the wrist, really) then, in most cases, permits the fan to continue posting the content, which Rafati will monetize through advertising – with a cut going to the owner of the content.
BroadbandTV's client companies not only generate ad revenue from their own content, but through BroadbandTV they can direct fans back to their own or other approved sites to find more content. Meanwhile, Rafati explains, because BroadbandTV's systems sit "on top of the tools Google created to protect itself," Google is also earning revenue, via BroadbandTV, on content it could never monetize on its own without getting sued.
"Think about the business model," says Innovators panellist Brent Holliday, an advisor and equity holder in BroadbandTV. Rafati "doesn't host anything. She pays Google a fee for allowing her to use their network, as well as a cut of the royalty revenue from all the impressions she gets. Then the copyright holder gets money, and everybody's happy."
BroadbandTV works with more than 1,000 content partners and has more than 2.6 billion annual impressions. Its two biggest clients are the National Basketball Association and Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc., ideal fits considering two of the three biggest areas of pirated video are sports and music videos (the third is TV shows).
The Vancouver company is growing at mach speed, and with monetizing pirated content on computers firmly dialled, Rafati plans to extend BroadbandTV's model across Android mobile devices next.

Other than the debut of top prospect Alec Bohm, Thursday was largely a gloomy day for the Phillies. The team was of course swept by an Orioles team that lost over 100 games last season. Granted, Baltimore is 10-7 on the season and have played well above expectations. To be swept by them is concerning, however. The sweep, combined with troubling similarities with last year's team in regards to lack of pitching depth, is quickly painting a picture of a Phillies team spiraling out of control.
With that said, the long awaited debut of Alec Bohm provided a bright spot on an otherwise miserable day. Sporting a powder blue throwback uniform, Bohm ultimately went 1-for-4 at the plate. His lone hit on the day was a sharply hit double down the line at third. This happened as the fans outside the gate went wild with air horns, which is probably going to end up being the thing I remember the most about pandemic baseball. That or cardboard cutouts.
Anways, the former third overall pick then struck out his second time up before flying out to the warning track in his final two at-bats. He was driving the ball well and flew out to deep right/center in his final AB, which was encouraging.
The 19,776th player in MLB history was less busy in the field, though he did make a noteworthy play. In the first inning, the rookie snagged a hard hit ball at third before throwing to first to complete a fantastic double play. Other than that he saw very little action in the field, a routine ground ball being the only other look.
RELATED: Nola in 2018 form over his last two starts
In regards to playing time, Matt Klentak said that the team wants to see their top prospect playing everyday. "The plan is that he's going to play regularly," said Klentak. That's been the case for a while now. If we're going to call up a player like Alec, we want him to play every day. With Adam Haseley going on the IL today, that opens up some regular reps for us."
If Alec Bohm is going to be playing everyday, this could spell less time for the struggling Scott Kingery. Kingery is batting just .100 through 40 at-bats. On a day where Bohm were to step in for Kingery, we will likely see more of what occurred tonight, with Segura sliding to second.
MLB.com grades Bohm as the best prospect in the Phillies system and the 31st best in all of baseball. The Phillies selected Bohm third overall in the 2018 draft out of Wichita State and few have questioned his bat. There are questions as to his long term future at third base, though the Phillies have yet to address that.
Either way, Phillies fans can look forward to watching Alec Bohm and Spencer Howard even if (haha) this season spirals out of control.

New Delhi [India], August 7 (ANI): Megastar Salman Khan on Saturday congratulated javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra for bagging a gold medal at the ongoing Tokyo Olympics.
Neeraj created history on Saturday as he became the first from the country to win gold in track and field in the Olympics. He threw a distance of 87.58m to pick the gold at Tokyo.
Taking to Twitter, Salman posted a picture of the golden boy and wrote, "Well done Neeraj, this is amazinggg. Congrats god bless n keep the hard work n dedication going @Neeraj_chopra1 #TeamIndia #Tokyo2020."
Earlier actors from the film industry including Deepika Padukone, Akshay Kumar, Varun Dhawan among several others have conveyed their best wishes to Neeraj on his golden win.
Neeraj began his quest for a medal with a massive throw of 87.03 meters and was leading the pack after the end of the first attempt.
He bettered it with the second throw of 87.58m. While he wasn't able to improve any further, it was enough to get him the coveted medal. He is now the second Indian after Abhinav Bindra to win a gold medal in individual events. (ANI)

OCXO basics | OCXO types | AT cut,IT cut,SC cut difference
The page describes OCXO basics and OCXO types. It compares OCXO types viz. AT cut, IT cut and SC cut and mentions difference between AT cut,IT cut and SC cut.
Definition: The term OCXO stands for Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator. As the name suggests the crystal oscillator which keeps its frequency output stable regardless of its surrounding ambient temperature variation is known as OCXO.
As we know TCXO is used to have frequency output based on temperature. Though TCXO has temperature compensated frequency output, it has lower frequency stability. Due to this limitation, OCXO having higher frequency stability is used in applications requiring high stability.
It is widely used in applications requiring very high frequency stability in oscillators, synthesizers, transceivers, signal generators, signal analyzers etc.
OCXO working operation
The figure-1 depicts inside of OCXO crystal oscillator type. As shown it consists of oven controlled circuit, temperature sensor and crystal oscillator. The improvement in stability is due to the fact that OCXO maintains constant temperature of crystal regardless of ambient temperature variation.
This is achieved with the help of oven based heater control circuit. Based on temperature sensed by the thermistor or any other temperature sensor, heating element increases or decreases the temperature of the crystal. OCXO keeps temperature constant based on closed loop feedback network. By keeping temperature constant, frequency stability of oscillator can be improved.
As shown in the figure-2, OCXO of SC cut type has better frequency stability over wide temperature compare to IT cut and AT cut types.
OCXO Types | AT cut, IT cut, SC cut
Following are the types of OCXO crystal oscillator.
• AT cut
• IT cut
• SC cut
The figure-2 depicts OCXO working with frequency response of different types.
OCXO AT cut
Following are the features of AT cut crystal type.
• The AT cut is made from Y bar at 350 theta rotation.
• It is entry level OCXO type.
• It offers good stable performance over wide temperature range. from -55oC to 125oC.
• It offers frequency output from 0.5 to 300 MHz.
OCXO IT cut
Following are the features of IT cut crystal type.
• Like SC cut, it is also double rotated crystal type and hence used in high stability applications.
• Offers frequency output from 0.5 to 200 MHz.
• It has upper turning point between 85oC to 105oC.
OCXO SC cut
Following are the features of SC cut crystal type.
• It offers double rotation which is defined by theta of 34.11 degrees and phi of 21.93 degrees.
• It offers frequency output from 0.5 to 200 MHz.
• The cutting method is difficult and hence will lead to higher labor cost.
• The stresses observed in AT cut type is reduced or eliminated using second rotation in φ direction.

The Americans faced especially challenging competitors Sunday as the weekend's World Cup mini tour wrapped up in Lillehammer, Norway. Under overcast skies and on firm tracks Norwegians dominated the on their "home" course, sweeping the top five spots in the men's 15-kilometer classic pursuit and the first four spots in the women's 10 k classic pursuit.
While the competition was tough, the U.S. Ski Team achieved victories of its own. This was especially true with Erik and Sadie Bjornsen, the American siblings who led their teammates in each of their respective races.
Erik Bjornsen started in 53rd place before reeling in 14 positions on an exciting course jam-packed with competitors, advancing to 39th place.
"It was really great, it was really fun," Bjornsen said in a post-race phone interview. "It felt like a mass start. I was just skiing with guys the whole time… I went off with a decent group, and you could tell that everyone was just trying to chase that guy that was right in front of them."
Meanwhile, Sadie Bjornsen gave the U.S. its best result of the day, starting in 17th before slipping one spot to 18th place in a tough field. Bjornsen was "in the mix," according to U.S. Ski Team Head Coach Chris Grover, at times picking up spots, and at other times slipping. Bjornsen said that she had to recover from a "mini-explosion" after spending a kilometer skiing with Polish superstar Justyna Kowalczyk, who advanced 20 positions during the race.
Grover was very pleased with the both Bjornsens' performance today and said that he was especially excited to see Sadie's development and potential for the rest of the season.
"I think that the exciting thing for her right now is that she's able to demonstrate that she's just got all the skills – she's skating well, she's classicing well, she can sprint, she can race distance races – and that's obviously why she put together a good tour here. But the more exciting thing is that I know she feels like she's not in top form at all. So I think that really bodes well for later in the season," he said in a post-race interview.
"I think that the exciting thing for her right now is that she's able to demonstrate that she's just got all the skills … But the more exciting thing is that I know she feels like she's not in top form at all." — U.S. Ski Team Head Coach Chris Grover, about Sadie Bjornsen
But the Bjornsens weren't the only Americans to have strong results.
Liz Stephen started in 35th position and advanced to 29th during the race.
"She felt like she had really good skis and she was able to pick off a lot of people, especially on the big uphill, and she really felt like it was one of her better classic races that she's had," Grover said of Stephen's race.
"I am happy with being able to finish the mini tour being in the points both distance days (for on the day results) and just sneaking in the overall points too," Stephen wrote in an email.
Stephen wrote that as the tour progressed, she inched closer to her racing shape with each race. The weekend also gave her insight into changes she could make in future races.
"I have some serious work to do with conquering my downhill abilities and that is going to be a very necessary project to take on throughout the rest of the winter and certainly next training year," she wrote.
One thing working in the favor of the American was their fast skis.
"I was a little worried when I was testing them," Erik Bjornsen said of his skis, "because they had really good kick – I was kicking up every hill. I was worried it was gonna be a little slow but then when I got to the downhill it almost seemed like I had some of the fastest skis out there."
Otherwise, it was a tough day for the Americans. Jessie Diggins fell from 21st to 44th. Diggins felt strong, according to Grover, but she couldn't pull her technique together, and did not feel like she was skiing well.
"She was definitely dissatisfied with her event," Grover said.
Kikkan Randall advanced from 63rd to 58th in what has been one of the toughest periods in recent memory for the American star. Randall has repeatedly said that she's having trouble shifting into gear for racing this season.
"It was nice to start in a pack of skiers and have lots of people to ski with today," Randall wrote in an email. "I got to put in another hard effort to bring me closer towards better race shape. I had some strong sections out there, especially climbing, and moved up a few places."
"Kikkan was at times out there feeling good," Grover said, "and she said that she's starting to come into a little bit of race fitness, but that it's just not there yet."
Caitlin Gregg fell three spots from 65th to 68th, and Sophie Caldwell, who is still in the process of recovering from a broken elbow, used the race as a training exercise but still managed to advance from 84th to 71st.
"I felt pretty good the first 4 k, but then I faded quite a lot," Caldwell wrote in an email. "My upper body got pretty tired and then the rest of it followed! I didn't get to ski with a ton of people, but I just focused on hanging on and trying to keep my technique together once I started to get tired."
Caldwell explained that the results she achieved this weekend were not ideal, but that she wasn't expecting to drastically improve until she's spent more time on snow and strengthen her upper body
Then, she wrote, it's just a matter of "remembering how to race."
The men's team fielded two skiers Sunday – Bjornsen and Reese Hanneman – as both Simi Hamilton and Andy Newell sat out the race to rest for the upcoming classic sprint on Davos, Switzerland. In addition, Ida Sargent did not start for the women.
The lack of participation was especially felt after distance specialist Noah Hoffman broke his leg a week ago in Kuusamo, Finland, after a bad crash.
"It's a huge bummer to have Noah have to go home, to be in that position," Erik Bjornsen said of his teammate. "I mean, that kid is so strong, and has really strong work ethics; I really think he'll bounce back pretty fast – a lot faster than people are expecting.
Despite the lack of the USST's distance leader, Bjornsen said that he had plenty to learn from Newell and Hamilton in both distance and sprint races.
"It's sweet to have Andy and Simi over here, because I can learn a ton from those guys – the distance races that they jump in they're always super competitive. It's still a great team, but we're all missing Noah, that's for sure."
"It's a long season."
The attitude among the Americans seems to be one of looking forward.
Hanneman, the only other American man to race today, who finished a disappointing 92nd – last place, shared his perspective on the early-season races and what they meant.
"To be fair, these are the most competitive fields in existence." Hanneman wrote in an email. "Unlike the Olympics or World Championships, the best countries all have an insane number of guys racing, due to it being a mini-tour, Nations Group spots, etc. And by definition these guys are in good form; they're here racing because they just earned their spots in the various season openers. This explains some of it."
Hanneman's frustration with his results is palpable, suggesting that he may have over-trained during the summer and fall in anticipation of his first season starting on the World Cup.
"I don't think I have any crazy expectations; I'm not expecting to hit a home run and throw up absolutely crazy results. I just want to perform to my capability. To be honest, I am really struggling. When you are suffering physically, you start to suffer mentally. I am not performing even close to what I am capable of," he wrote.
Grover, when asked what his take-away was from the weekend as a whole, echoed a similar sentiment.
"Well, it's challenging when you know that you're not going to come into the season in top form as a team, and that's part of your plan. It's been part of our plan to target really skiing well in the middle of the season, and it's hard to keep reminding yourself that that's the plan when the results that you know are possible from a group like this aren't possible right now.

As a public health concern, patient safety should be a top priority for everyone who interacts with the health care system. Patient Safety Awareness Week is an opportunity to further conversations about health care safety and recognize the progress that has already been made.
Research suggests that up to 440,000 Americans die annually from preventable errors, making this the third leading cause of death in the United States. It is critical that health care professionals keep patient safety at the forefront of innovation.
Here are six thought leadership blogs that speak to the important role that data, organizational culture and health IT tools have in elevating patient safety.
1. Why Fatigue Management is Key to Patient Safety
Durenda Juergensen, CNO Health System Operations, Cerner
Fatigue is a workplace hazard that affects the health and safety of patients, health care providers and the community. In this blog, Juergensen examines why it is important for health care organizations to recognize the dangers of fatigue. She also offers health care leaders a three-step approach to integrate fatigue management strategies into their patient safety efforts.
"The consequences of fatigue impact everyone along the care journey. A collaborative commitment to increasing fatigue awareness, mitigation and management will improve the health and safety of patients and health care providers."
2. Creating a Committed Health Care Workforce
Michael Frisina, leadership expert, speaker and expert, The Frisina Group
Health care professionals who are energized, optimistic and connected to the purpose and meaning of their work are more likely to be committed to providing the highest level of patient care. Yet, day-to-day challenges, coupled with ineffective leadership, can discourage even the most passionate providers.
To maintain a successful health care organization with a high standard for excellence, it is essential for leaders to learn how to manage people appropriately. In this Q&A, Frisina explains how health care leaders can develop a workforce culture that promotes engagement and commitment, ultimately leading to greater patient safety, care and overall experience.
"The major challenges that I see in health care today are associated with the quantity, pace and complexity of the workload. Health care professionals are trying to do a lot of work as quickly as possible, but the brain isn't designed for multitasking. When people try to do more than one thing at a time, mistakes are inevitable, and the quality of care, safety of care and the overall patient experience suffer."
3. Why Automated Anesthesia Carts are Critical for Hospital Rooms
Christine Beck, RPh, Pharmacy Executive, Cerner
Anesthesiologists need rapid and simple access to medications to care for their highly vulnerable patients. In addition, the opioid epidemic and new regulatory mandates require pharmacies to develop a better chain of custody for narcotics. The move to automation in the OR has potential to increase patient safety, reduce lost patient charges, improve narcotic control and create more efficient workflows. In this blog, Beck explains how automated medication carts provide an opportunity to improve care within operating rooms.
"Automation aids in safety by improving documentation of the medications given to the patient. The issue of drug diversion can also be addressed with the use of these automated monitoring tools as they identify trends and gaps in the system. Narcotics theft may also be deterred with the additional control features, such as single dose narcotic dispensing, that are available on modern carts."
4. Achieving High Reliability in Health Care
Craig Deao, managing director, national speaker and author, Studer Group
Although the health care industry is complex and full of potential hazards, a culture of high-reliability – operating for extended periods without serious accidents or catastrophic failures – is a goal for many health care systems. With support from leadership, health care providers on the front lines are taking steps toward zero-harm. In this Q&A, Deao discusses the principles of high reliability and why they are critical to enhancing the health care experience for patients and providers.
"The biggest barrier that I see is that many health care organizations still don't believe that zero-harm is an achievable goal. An organization's executives must commit to treating harm incidents with the same seriousness that the aviation industry treats a plane crash. Failures and catastrophic events must be learned from so that they never happen again. When harm occurs, everything should stop, and a deep dive should be done to discover the root cause."
5. How Nurses Can Support a Culture of Patient Safety
Jenny Horn, senior director and regional clinical executive, Cerner
In the modern health care industry, patient safety is non-negotiable. Patients expect it, clinicians strive to deliver it and health care organizations rely on it. Leveraging smart technologies and dashboards and standardizing practices enables organizations to improve quality, bring down cost and create value-based care. In this blog, Horn outlines how health care organizations can empower nurses by creating a culture of patient safety and implement practices that promote it.
"As a nurse, I strive to provide safe patient care – but I'm at my best when I feel like my organization also emphasizes patient safety. Creating a culture that supports patient safety includes promoting communication and visibility of medical error misses, near misses and successes that can be shared across the organization."
6. How Health IT Empowers Nurses to Deliver Advanced Care
Eva Karp, senior vice president, chief clinical and patient safety officer, Cerner
Amy Peters, chief nursing officer, Truman Medical Center
Nursing teams often lead the charge in patient quality, safety and the overall patient experience. Technology can help nurses improve care in many ways, including allowing them to be at the bedside more. In this blog, Karp and Peters discuss how health IT empowers nurses to deliver advanced care, with applied examples from Truman Medical Center.
"Our nursing staff have adapted to the new technology very well. There was some hesitation at first, but now they definitely have the hang of things and comment on improved efficiencies and the ability to answer patient questions in the moment without needing to leave the room and pull the information up on the computer."

Truffade is a sort of thick pancake made with thinly sliced potatoes that are slowly cooked in goose or duck fat until tender, then mixed with thin strips of Tome fraiche de Cantal.
It is a heavenly dish traditionally associated with Auvergne in France.
This mix is stirred until it sticks together in a sort of thick pastry, sometimes decorated with fresh parsley.
What is Tome fraiche de Cantal cheese like? It is a firm cheese and according to some chefs when young, it has a mild, buttery flavor that over time develops into a pleasant bite that is reminiscent of sharp cheddar.
So you can imagine how good this will taste!
It is important to use Tome fraiche de Cantal, a cheese that is quite different from regular Tomme cheese.
The recipe won't be the same if Tomme cheese is used because it melts in a very different way than Tome fraiche.
The problem with this is that regular Tomme cheese is widely available in the UK and the USA, but the Tome fraiche de Cantal isn't.
Even so, although I've pointed out the deficiency, try it with Tomme if that is all you can get, but it would never get a French seal of approval. ;-)
(You can in a pinch, substitute a sharp cheddar too, but the same deficiencies hold true as the Tomme.)
Don't worry, you have a choice to print the photo or not, when you click print! ;-)

Every year we hear sad stories from pet bird owner's who have experienced an emergency requiring Emergency Preparedness for Parrots. Whether it be hurricanes, tornado's, earthquakes, floods, fire, or even a terrorist attack, every bird owner should have a bird travel cage for each bird and develop a plan to take care of their parrots when water and electricity are not available.
1. Plan ahead and play it safe by creating a parrot emergency preparedness kit ready in case you have to evacuate.
2. Practice simulated evacuation. How will you pack the car? How will you ensure that the air quality in the car is safe for everyone? Where will you go to get to safety?
3. Purchase a medium sized Rubbermaid or similar brand plastic tub which has a lid that seals out moisture to place your parrot emergency items in. Label the tub with your name, telephone number, and your pets microchip number. Place it near your bird carriers.
4. Have your parrot bird carrier(s) assembled and labeled with your birds name, your telephone number and your veterinarian's telephone number in plain view. Be sure to write "REWARD IF RETURNED TO OWNER" on the carrier, as well.
BIRD CARRIER PREPARATION: When planning for emergency preparedness for parrots, make sure that each parrot has its own bird carrier assembled and ready should an evacuation be necessary. Affix a label on the bird travel cage ahead of time. If you have several pet's it will be easier to have the label's prepared ahead of time and placed it in a location near your bird travel cage. Apply the proper label to the bird travel cage as you place your parrot inside its bird travel. Prepare labels with permanent ink to place on each bird carrier with the following information on each:
CREATE AN EVACUATION PLAN: Develop a plan of how you will get your parrots to safety and practice a simulated evacuation.
Call your veterinarian ahead of time and ask to have your parrots boarded with him/her if your parrot is lost and found by emergency personnel.
An Emergency Preparedness for Parrots Plan and kit will save you a lot of stress in case you actually have to evacuate.Hey, please leave a comment or share this on your social media if you love this post!

A Washington, D.C., police officer who crushed in a doorway by a mob of President Donald Trump supporters said he was happy to help stop the "white nationalist insurrection" at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
Viral video showed the moment that Officer Daniel Hodges was pinned in a doorway as a crowd of rioters attempted to force its way into the Capitol, following a call from Trump to "fight like hell."
Hodges told NBC Washington his mask was pulled off and he was beaten with his own baton by a Trump supporter. Video of the incident shows Hodges bleeding from his mouth as he cries out in pain.
"They ripped my mask off," Hodges told NBC earlier this week. "Stole my equipment. Beat me up. Sprayed me with everything."
Police were eventually able to push the rioters out of the Capitol, but five people died due to injuries sustained during the siege. Among the casualties was Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who was pepper sprayed and bludgeoned with a fire extinguisher.
Despite being assaulted by Trump supporters, Hodges told NBC Washington he would do it all again.
"If it wasn't my job, I would have done that for free," Hodges said. "It was absolutely my pleasure to crush a white nationalist insurrection. I'm glad I was in a position to be able to help. We'll do it as many times as it takes."
Other officers who were guarding the Capitol, including D.C. Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone, have in recent days shared their own harrowing stories of fighting the mob. Fanone said he was hit with a stun gun several times and took beatings from Trump supporters who were carrying metal pipes. He said he could hear the mob screaming, "Kill him with his own gun."
"At that point, it was just self-preservation," Fanone told CNN on Thursday. "How do I survive this situation?"
The FBI has made several arrests in connection with the siege, and said hundreds of Trump rioters can soon expect a knock on their door.

After Ab-ee-MEL-ek died, a judge arose to save Israel, whose name was To-LAW. His father was Poo-AW, his grandfather Do-DO. From the tribe of Yis-saw-KAWR, he lived in Shaw-MEER in the hill country of Ef-RAH-yim.
His reign over Israel doesn't have a lot of space devoted to it - just two verses - yet he judged Israel for 23 years. But I believe that there is something hidden just below the surface here - something that will bring Christ to our remembrance.
The word "To-LAW" means "worm." But not just any worm - it is a certain worm. The "coccus ilicis" was the worm that the Levites used to dye the curtains, veil, and other materials of the tabernacle scarlet.
When this worm is going to give birth, it permanently attaches itself to the trunk of a tree. It then lays its eggs beneath its body. When it dies, the worm seems to explode in scarlet fluid, staining the tree, and covering its offspring.
When Jesus spoke prophetically of His crucifixion through David in Psalm 22, He said,
Ps. 22:6 But I am a worm (to-LAW), and not a man, a reproach of men, and despised by the people.
It was Jesus who fastened Himself to a tree, knowing that it would result in His death. His scarlet blood stained the tree and covered us, His offspring.
1John 1:7 ...The blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
This judge, To-LAW, was named after the coccus ilicis worm, yet his father's name was "Poo-AW," which means "splendid." I think of the psalmist writing of the Heavenly Father,
Ps. 111:3 Splendid and majestic is His work; and His righteousness endures forever.
How could a father name his son "worm?" To foreshadow the Father making a worm of His only begotten Son.
Isa. 53:3-5 He was despised and forsaken of men, A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; And like one from whom men hide their face, He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being {fell} upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed.
Isa. 53:9-10 His grave was assigned with wicked men, Yet He was with a rich man in His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was there any deceit in His mouth. But the LORD was pleased To crush Him, putting {Him} to grief; If He would render Himself {as} a guilt offering, He will see {His} offspring, He will prolong {His} days, And the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.
It pleased the Father to crush the Son, for the scarlet dye that His death produced cleansed us from all sin.
The judge that came after To-LAW was Yaw-ERE. He was from the tribe of Manasseh, from the clan of Ghil-AWD.
He placed each of his 30 sons in authority over the thirty cities in Ghil-AWD, which were called "Khav-VOTHE Yaw-EER" (which simply means, "villages of Yaw-ERE").
Each of these sons rode donkeys - specifically, they were AH-yeers, colts of donkeys - young males. This tells us something about their leadership, for you see, Jesus came into town on the same beast - an AH-yeer, and He was described as
Zech. 9:9 ...Behold, your king is coming to you; He is just and endowed with salvation, Humble, and mounted on a donkey, Even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
The symbolism here is obvious: Yaw-ERE's sons ruled with justice and humility over their cities.
After judging Israel for 22 years, Yaw-ERE died and was buried in Kaw-MONE.
The words of chapter 2 again ring true:
Judg. 2:19 But it came about when the judge died, that they would turn back and act more corruptly than their fathers
As soon as Yaw-ERE dies, they begin to worship the false gods of the peoples living around them.
As the Lord had promised, He got angry with them and gave them into the hands of their enemies the Philistines and the Ammonites for eighteen years.
Finally, the people cry out to the Lord, confessing their sins. But God's reaction is surprising. He says, "I've delivered you time and time again when you cried out to me, but you still forsake Me for false gods."
Judg. 10:14 "Go and cry out to the gods which you have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your distress."
Why didn't the Lord receive their prayers of confession? Because repentance is about more than saying, "I've been bad." It's about turning away from your sin, forsaking it, stopping it, cutting it out of your life.
Until this happens, God will not release them from their bondage.
Now their confession turns to action - their repentance becomes a reality. They cleansed their land of idols and began to serve the Lord. It was then that He answered their prayer for deliverance.
I wonder what kind of bondage it would take to get the United States of America to put away its idols and serve the Lord? What disaster could befall us to make us, as a nation, cry out to the Lord in sincerity? Could anything at all stop us from hurtling toward hell as we are?
I think of those in the Great Tribulation who will suffer terrible affliction, yet will not repent.
Rev. 9:20-21 And the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, so as not to worship demons, and the idols of gold and of silver and of brass and of stone and of wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk; and they did not repent of their murders nor of their sorceries nor of their immorality nor of their thefts.
Does America have a chance? Only if there is a nationwide repentance. I wonder what it will take? At this point in Israel's history, it took eighteen years of terrible crushing and affliction, and then finally the threat of extinction when the Ammonites came against them. But they did finally repent and were saved.
With the Ammonites gathered at Ghil-AWD, the Israelites got together close by at Mits-PAW. But they desperately needed a leader. Chapter 11 introduces us to the unlikely candidate.
In Ghil-AWD was a strong and mighty man named Jephthah. Unfortunately for him, he was the son of a harlot - a prostitute. When his younger half-brothers grew to be men, they ostracized him and ran him out of town. He ran away and lived in the land of Tobe, where he became the leader of a tough bunch of guys with the same emptiness of conscience that the men Ab-ee-MEL-eck had hired.
Jephthah's reputation as a strong warrior made him the perfect candidate to lead the Israeli army, regardless of his questionable lineage. Jephthah only agreed to head up the army if he would also be put in his rightful place of leadership as the eldest son of Ghil-AWD.
Jephthah first attempts diplomacy to resolve the situation between the Israelites and the Ammonites. He sent a letter saying, "Why are you fighting against us?"
Their response was that when Israel came up from Egypt in the Exodus, she had taken their land. "If you give back our land," they said, "we will leave you alone."
But Jephthah began to give them a Bible study from the book of Numbers, saying, "Wait a minute, guys. Israel didn't take this land from you. As you recall, when the Israelites got to Kaw-DASHE about 300 years ago, they asked if they could just pass through."
Num. 20:17-18 'Please let us pass through your land. We shall not pass through field or through vineyard; we shall not even drink water from a well. We shall go along the king's highway, not turning to the right or left, until we pass through your territory.'" Edom, however, said to him, "You shall not pass through us, lest I come out with the sword against you."
"So they went around Edom," Jephthah's letter continues, "and asked the Amorites if they could pass through. That didn't happen either."
Num. 21:21-25 Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying, "Let me pass through your land. We will not turn off into field or vineyard; we will not drink water from wells. We will go by the king's highway until we have passed through your border." But Sihon would not permit Israel to pass through his border. So Sihon gathered all his people and went out against Israel in the wilderness, and came to YAH-hats and fought against Israel. Then Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Yab-BOKE, as far as the sons of Ammon; for the border of the sons of Ammon was Yah-ZARE. And Israel took all these cities and Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all her villages.
So Jephthah makes his two points clear: Israel took this land not from the Ammonites, but the Amorites; and God had given them the land. He wrote, "Hasn't your god Kem-OSHE given you your land? If this is yours, then why didn't King Baw-LAWK, the son of Tsip-PORE, fight against us?" (You recall that he did try to hire Balaam to curse the Israelites, but did not make an offensive move against them.)
There were also other opportunities to re-take this land.
Judg. 11:26 'While Israel lived in Khesh-BONE and its villages, and in Ar-o-AYR and its villages, and in all the cities that are on the banks of the Ar-NOHN, three hundred years, why did you not recover them within that time?
All of this diplomacy did no good. The Ammonites thoroughly disregarded his letter.
Jephthah now joins a select group of people who had the Holy Spirit come upon them in the Old Testament. The Spirit was upon Moses, and his 70 elders (Num. 11). Balaam, believe it or not, had the Holy Spirit come upon him (Num. 24:2). Oth-nee-ALE, the first judge and Caleb's younger brother, was filled with the Spirit (Judg 3:10). Gideon most recently (Judg. 6:34), and now Jephthah.
We will see this happen to more guys as we continue through the Old Testament. And sometimes, in instances like Balaam, Samson, and King Saul, the Spirit would also leave people. But today, the Holy Spirit is permanently given to us when we become believers. When we believed that He died and rose again to forgive our sins, God breathed on us and the Spirit came to live inside of our hearts. He...
2Cor. 1:22 ...sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge.
Paul tells us in Ephesians,
Eph. 1:13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation - having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise
The Spirit has not been given to us temporarily as He was before Jesus Christ ascended to heaven. He is with us as a pledge of our heavenly inheritance - forever, giving us full assurance of our hope until the end.
Here, the Holy Spirit empowered Jephthah to boldly lead Israel's troops to battle against the Ammonites.
Unfortunately, Jephthah's boldness was not countered with wisdom. He promises the Lord that if He gives him victory, he will sacrifice the first thing he sees when he gets home.
Jephthah did indeed get the victory over the Ammonites, slaughtering them in 20 cities - from Ar-o-AYR to the entrance of Min-NEETH, and all the way to Aw-BALE Keh-rem-EEM.
But when Jephthah came home, it was no bull or goat that he saw first - it was his daughter - his only child celebrating his return with dancing and tambourines.
He was obligated by his vow to offer his daughter to the Lord as a burnt offering. Now of course the Lord didn't want human sacrifice, and if Jephthah knew the Law, he would have redeemed her with a substitutionary sacrifice. And some commentators interpret the passage as saying that he simply shipped her off to a convent - a perpetual virgin, dedicated to God. But her reaction and his seem to negate that idea. I believe that after giving her two months, he did in fact sacrifice his daughter to fulfill his vow. What a terrible shame.
Years later, King Solomon wrote,
Prov. 20:25 It is a snare for a man to say rashly, "It is holy!" And after the vows to make inquiry.
We must not rashly make vows to the Lord, for He takes them quite seriously. Much of Numbers 30 consists of a person's obligation to keep their vows to God.
Num. 30:2 If a man makes a vow to the LORD, or takes an oath to bind himself with a binding obligation, he shall not violate his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.
It is better not to make a vow and to serve God than to vow to serve and then to fail to do it. Jesus taught,
Matt. 21:28-31 "But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, 'Son, go work today in the vineyard.' And he answered and said, 'I will, sir'; and he did not go. And he came to the second and said the same thing. But he answered and said, 'I will not'; {yet} he afterward regretted {it} and went. Which of the two did the will of his father?"
It is best to make no vows at all. Jesus also taught,
Matt. 5:33-37 "Again, you have heard that the ancients were told, 'YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FALSE VOWS, BUT SHALL FULFILL YOUR VOWS TO THE LORD.' But I say to you, make no oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet, or by Jerusalem, for it is THE CITY OF THE GREAT KING. Nor shall you make an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. But let your statement be, 'Yes, yes' {or} 'No, no'; and anything beyond these is of evil.
If Jephthah had simply gone to the battle without the vow, the Lord still would have given him the victory, and he could have come back and offered a burnt offering to the Lord without sorrow and stumbling.
Once again, the Ephraimites are complaining that they weren't included in the battle. They came to Tsaw-FONE and say, "We're going to burn your house down on you for not including us in the battle against the Ammonites."
You may recall that Gideon had faced this same predicament back in chapter eight. The way he handled it was to flatter them, saying,
Judg. 8:2 ..."What have I done now in comparison with you...?"
But Jephthah is cut from a different block.
Jephthah fought against the contentious Ephraimites, and blocked their way home. Then, anytime any of them tried to cross the Jordan to escape back to the land of Ephraim, they were asked, "Are you an Ephraimite?" Certainly, the response was always no. But there was a test to pass, a question to answer: "Say now, 'shib-BO-leth,'" which was the Hebrew word for an ear of corn or a grain of wheat. But those Ephraimites had a regional accent. When they tried to say "shib-BO-leth," they would say "sib-BO-leth," giving themselves away as Ephraimites. Upon mispronouncing the word, they were immediately killed.
After Jephthah's death, three more minor judges rule. Ib-TSAWN of Bethlehem rules for seven years, Ay-LONE the Zebulunite judges for ten years (then is buried at Ah-yaw-LONE), and Ab-DOHN, the son of Hil-LAYL the Pir-aw-THO-nite judges for eight years.
So it would seem that Israel enjoyed over 30 years of relief from affliction before once again falling into evil.

What is it about all these groups that makes them incapable of introspection, externalizing all their problems onto a scapegoat? They shirk the hard work of changing something about themselves in favor of demanding the impossible, that others who are NOT the problem change and cure them. Whites HAVE changed the most out of all identity groups, becoming the most tolerant, least racist. Yet minority problems did not cease. Let us note that on a global scale, whites are a minority, the highest achieving one that does not blame the non-white majority for any problems we may have. Clearly externalizing blame does not work to solve problems. INTROSPECTION and changing oneself solves problems. lainehttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-45634383721167133532019-09-19T10:40:05.828-04:002019-09-19T10:40:05.828-04:00"In an official Twitter statement, Al-Qaws cl..."In an official Twitter statement, Al-Qaws claimed..." utter firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-41173381696308178222019-09-16T17:11:55.066-04:002019-09-16T17:11:55.066-04:00ANy time you want to prove you are tolerant of the...ANy time you want to prove you are tolerant of the gays by going out for drinks with me Daniel, I'll buy.

Many aristocrat elite "academics" like Judith Butler and the rest of the left-gang spearheaded QAIA. This group literally broke the gay community because that community had become too white, male, middle class and "reactionary" -- once civil rights laws were in place most original gays went back to living their normal apolitical lives because the sole goal was to be left alone without harrassment. Well nothing makes a left wing fanatic angrier than having their life blood-hysteria checkmated by success.

So voila Intersectionality replaced civil law change, Queer replaced gay (so bourgeois, so white, so male -- oh ick), Transgender replaced homosexuality because trans is so amorphous, incomprehensible and offensive to "straights" while homosexuality had become mainstream boring and no one cared about it any more -- it dared to become "accepted"!

At the centre of this leftist transformation (highjacking, aka transjacking) of the whole gay movement was the usual hate of Israel QAIA gang of vicious rebels without a clue who rallied round their hate flags for die-ins to screech into tv cameras and posture about. Most people who are truly liberal about homosexuals are now utterly perplexed about what this whole queer and trans thing is supposed to be. That was planned.

Daniel outlined what queer is supposed to be -- another left wing tool using inchoate fury-rage against "society" to smash "white western colonial power and privilege" (these words and concepts are the new queer/trans porn -- queerettes get positively turned on by fake moral leftist puffed-uppery the way old gays got off on actual sex images). If ordinary people could read what the queer stance is on HIV they would recoil in horror and cut every sympathy and cent of funding forever (HIV is a right for queers to demonstrate they are anti-colonial -- yes, look it up -- or dont bother as it's too vile for most people to even comprehend such twisting and lies).

As a former gay movement member who was thrown out of the burgeoning queer movement in the 90s for being old school gay activist and publicly anti-Queer/left (like a lesbian journalist I knew who was fired from the gay press at the time and then shunned because she would not stop writing criticisms in the 90s of the International Socialists infiltration of gay pride parades -- she was gulaged into silence and so was I and anyone else who dared challenge the rise of the new Queer Left).

Danile's article was like a trip down memory lane for me -- a bad trip that required stomach pumping. But maybe it will help everyone else to see they are being fooled big time -- queer is not what your old gay pals at the bar in the 80s were -- it is leftism pure and simple -- it is vicious, nasty. violent and severely Israel hating.

btw one of the highest rates for suicide is not queer and trans youth as constantly reported by the left -- it is older gay men who gave up because they were cast out by their families and then cast out of the gay movement -- there was even a web site (removed) called the elder gay suicide page. Perhaps the next site will be called pillars of salt -- for as you sow so shall you reap. email@example.com

While attending a conference in Quebec City, Sherlock Holmes and his good friend, Dr. Watson, are drawn into a murder investigation in the nearby village of La Mort Rouge. Holmes had received a letter from Lady Penrose asking for his assistance as she feared for her life. It was too late, however, as she had already been killed by the time he received it. Her throat was torn out and the local villagers are spreading rumors about monsters and evil spirits as being the cause. Holmes doesn't believe any of that and sets out to find the killer. He believes that Lady Penrose's past as an actress may have something to with her death. As others in the village are attacked, Holmes believes the killer is among them, impersonating a local villager as he goes about his business.

We know how creative the kids of today's generation are! Sometimes they paint, draw, and other times they make craft models. You also wish to keep the innovation in your kids alive but may not know how to make room for their artworks in your house. This article brings you the best ways to display children's artwork.
Make Them Dinner Table Placemats
When your child draws or paints something, use this sheet of painting as your dinner table mat. It will add to the beauty of your dining table, and your kids will love eating healthy foods with their art projects before them.
Make Them Into Art Books
Your kids will love to have a collection of their artworks when they grow up. Here is one of the great ideas for arranging all the paintings and sketches in art books and keeping them safe in their cupboards.
Using Them As A Home Decor
With creating a book of their artworks, you can also use them as home decor to decorate your ceiling and walls. A wall in your house displaying kids' art can be a great way to encourage them and draw more. Your guests will also love how creative your children are!
Hang Them On Curtain Rods
If wall display is not possible at home, you can use curtain rods to hang their painting and craft objects. It is one of the great ideas to embellish your home and motivate your children to keep sketching and coloring. They have their art gallery at home on curtain rods.
Displaying Art On Bookshelves
We know that kids love drawing books. But a bookshelf can also be used to keep their artworks with books. Keep the books on one side and artwork on the other. You can also keep larger pieces of kid artwork on these bookshelves.
Get Them Tattooed
It is an amazing idea to preserve your kids' artworks. You may or may not want them tattooed on your body permanently. But, if you choose to get that done, your kids would love to see what they used to do in childhood when they grow up and stop using colors.
Make It Natural
You can hang the painting of your kids on a natural branch of a tree with leaves. It is one of the most natural ideas for home decor as well. Their works of art can decorate your walls naturally and aesthetically. Go ahead and make your children happy.
Put Them In Pockets
A wall hanging with pockets displays kids' art better than many other ideas. These pockets should be transparent. Ask your kids to draw and paint more often because they will be having a gallery wall of their own. We are sure it's a great idea to keep your wall clean and encourage kids to paint.
Using An Art Box To Display
An art box is an innovative idea that can make a creative box for your kids to store their sketches and paintings. The crafts can be of varying sizes, but your kids can keep them stored for many years. When your children grow up and look back to their childhood, they'll be happy to have a creative art box of their own.
Frame These Paintings
One of the best ideas to preserve kids' artwork is to frame them and put them on a wall in your drawing or dining room. Your kids will love their work portrayed in a good manner. Guests will also appreciate their hard work and encourage them to keep making new things.
The best ten ways to incorporate your kid's artwork in your house are given in this article. You can use any of the mentioned ideas and support your kids to bring out their creativity in many forms. Preserving their artwork is the best way to motivate them and make sure they never give up on trying new things. Childhood is the time of learning and developing to know the full potential and how your kid should go later in life.

If you are planning to follow Tom Brady's diet plan, there are some other points too that you need to follow. Let's have a look at them.
- Combining Foods: While being on the Tom Brady diet plan, you are not supposed to pair foods that are high in carbohydrates to foods that are high in proteins. For instance, you can't eat meat or fish together with rice or sweet potatoes.
- Drinking Plenty of Fluids: Tom Brady's diet plan instructs you to consume plenty of fluids while following his diet plan. An ideal measure would be to get your body weight in pounds and drink that many ounces of water daily. However, you must keep in mind not to drink water with or around meals.
- No food before bed: Tom Brady's diet plan instructs that a person should stop/avoid eating within 3 hours before going to bed. There have been certain researches claiming that eating late at night time and that too before going to bed might elevate the levels of body fat. This can further make you gain unhealthy weight.
- No Desserts at all: Tom Brady is so strict towards his diet plan that he doesn't even have a cheat day. That means no ice creams, no soft drinks, and no desserts. At times he eats ice cream that is made from avocados and cocoa or raw macaroons. This is the closest he gets to desserts.
Tom Brady's dedication towards his sport is unmatchable, and it gets shown from his strict diet. In his own words,
"Whether that's what I eat, whether I drink or don't drink, it's always football-centric. I want to be the best I can be every day."
Tom Brady's Supplements
Tom Brady's strict nutrition plan also includes some supplements, which make it well-rounded. Some of his preferred supplements are as follows:-
- Protein Powders: Protein powders aid in providing the muscles with an instant supply of essential amino acids that promotes recovery and maintains muscle mass. Brady prefers to have plant-based protein powders as his diet mainly consists of vegetables, and he swears by their effectiveness.
- Electrolytes: Intense training sessions lead to dehydration of the body through sweating. Tom Brady uses electrolytes which help him to rehydrate and replenish quickly. It contains no additives, sweeteners, or preservatives.
- Multivitamins: To maintain increased levels of energy and muscle strength, Tom Brady supplements his regular diet with Multivitamins. It also helps in keeping his mood elevated and reduces any kind of stress.

Dodgers News And Rumors: Wilson Content With His Production
[new_royalslider id="16″]
When the Los Angeles Dodgers signed Brian Wilson last season, he proved to be a steal by allowing one earned run in 18 regular-season innings and zero runs in six postseason appearances. Fast forward to this season and the eight-year veteran has not faired as well.
Manager Don Mattingly acknowledged a difference in the reliever's results from 2013 to this season, however Wilson had a more optimistic outlook. Wilson pointed to him being second on the team in holds and said his struggles have come in situations he's usually not pitched in.
Since the All-Star break, Wilson has put together a few scoreless streaks and besides one blunder, appears to be moving closer to his 2013 form.

You've filled out your LinkedIn experience, summary and maybe some other accomplishments and interests. But, what other LinkedIn features do you use to your advantage?
Listed below are my Top 7 features that all professionals need to be comfortable with in order to build deeper professional relationships.
1)Posting Updates
It's that big white box that stares you in the face when you log-in. Do you use it?
This feature allows you to broadcast your interests and point of view. The next time you read an article, ask yourself: "Is there something other people could learn from this piece?" Even if the article is about a personal hobby, is there a cool fact or a lesson to be passed on? If so, your contacts would appreciate seeing the content and you will be providing a point of view based on your unique set of experiences and expertise.
2)News "Signals"
Have you ever sent someone an email only to receive the dreaded "Out of Office" response in return? Well, think of News "Signals" as a quick way to learn how many of your contacts are currently active on LinkedIn, which may mean that those contacts have some spare time. Located as the third option in the drop down "News" menu, "Signals" lets you see your contacts' activity in real-time. Check it out every now and then to get a sense of how people are using LinkedIn and to understand who might be free for a quick catch-up.
Tags are another lesser known feature that allows you to organize your connections however you see fit. LinkedIn automatically organizes your contacts based on company, location, industry, recent activity, and your relationship with that person. Additionally, you're also able to create new tags so that you can organize your contacts as you wish. Just click on the "Contacts" drop down and organize connections in a way that makes it easiest for you to reference.
4)"Get Introduced"
Ever wanted to contact someone outside of your network without cold emailing or calling? Then you may want to check to see if you have any mutual connections. LinkedIn's "Get introduced" feature, located on the drop down to the right of 'Connect', allows you to send a message to one of your current contacts that is connected with the targeted professional. Yet, be sure to know that mutual connection well and clearly state sound reasons why you'd like your contact to put his reputation at stake to introduce you to one of his connections. NOTE: If you have a basic account (the free one), you're limited to 5 introductions. So, if that relates to you, choose your battles wisely.
5)Personalizing Messages When Connecting
Most of the connections people receive include the stock LinkedIn message attached. I don't have proof to back that fact up, but I'd be willing to bet it's true. When you personalize a message, you're creating a more memorable connection between yourself and the professional you're trying to add as a contact. It only takes a few seconds to say "Hi John Doe -- I really enjoyed our discussion at the Big Important Networking Event. I look forward to touching base again soon!" Little personalized details like this can go a long way.
Let's face it: You didn't get to where you are today without any mentoring, guidance or help. Somewhere along the way, someone has helped craft the person you are today. If you have never recommended anyone on LinkedIn before, start with the people that mean the most to you. But, if those people aren't on LinkedIn, recommend someone that you had or have a great working relationship with. Even if it's only a few nice qualities that you wish to point out, write it anyway! It's one of the best ways to show your appreciation and respect for a fellow professional, and recommendations look great in a profile.
Also, if someone is nice enough to recommend you, consider returning the favor.
7)"Groups You May Like"
Like most popular social networks, LinkedIn relies on algorithms created by really smart people so that us users can be totally freaked out when the site recommends that you reconnect with your best friend from middle school. Well, the intention obviously isn't to freak you out but rather make your experience more customized and relevant to your interests. "Groups You May Like" is a list of groups that are automatically selected for you based on "similar attributes between you and other members in groups (such as companies, schools, or industries in common)." Essentially, the more information you provide to LinkedIn in your profile, the more effectively LinkedIn will be able to recommend groups that you're going to be interested in. Joining a group and getting involved in discussions that relates to your area of expertise is one of the best ways to generate new contacts, learn what professionals in your field are talking about, and present your expert knowledge.

- INDULGE : Relax in a Sycamore Springs tub like Casey Moss. David Talmage will sing only in the lounge during the Central Coast Folk Festival.
When it comes to Americana, we citizens are enthusiastic about celebrating our rich history, be it our politics, food, wine, music, or art. One needs only to consider the excitement among Americans across the nation over the upcoming presidential inauguration in Washington, D.C. for President-elect Barack H. Obama. This special event is attracting hundreds of thousands of Americans who will cross the country to be part of the monumental moment, according to the District of Columbia's Presidential Inaugural Committee. Imagine the crowd this year when the 44th president of the United States takes the oath of office.
Whether it's the best of times or the worst of times (our current economy), we always have good reason to celebrate our heritage. Here on the Central Coast, you can celebrate President-elect Obama's inauguration a weekend ahead by taking part in the first Central Coast Folk Festival being held at five of San Luis Obispo's destination resorts. The team at the Boutique Hotel Collection, stretching from Morro Bay to Pismo Beach, has put together a four-day event packed with meals, musicians, art exhibitions, and storytellers—sure to rouse your appetite.
Thursday, Jan. 15
Gardens of Avila at Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort in Avila Beach
Soak and Folk takes place one night only on a romantic, wintry Thursday evening. Imagine yourself in a warm, bubbling hot tub filled with healing mineral water, a fine bottle of Central Coast wine at hand, sharing the intimate setting with the love of your life. Later, you'll both want dinner in the resort's fine dining room, where they are offering a special American-heritage, three-course meal at an amazingly low price of $30 (not including beverages, tax, or tip; this special menu will be honored through Jan. 31 during SLO County Restaurant Month). For only $15 more, you can have three wines to taste, each one selected to complement one course. For example: swordfish tikka with saffron basmati rice paired with Tablas Creek 2006 Vermentino; and basmati pudding with whipped cream and pistachios with Bishop's Peak 2005 Stone Cold Ice Wine. In the lounge, guests will enjoy the sounds of local musician David Talmage performing folk and acoustic music. There's no cover charge and a special appetizer menu is available in the lounge to enjoy with cocktails or wine. The hot tub must be reserved in advance and dinner reservations in the dining room are recommended.
The SeaVenture Resort & Restaurant in Pismo Beach
An artisan market theme takes place here while the five-piece band Cuesta Ridge plays bluegrass, only $10 per person cover charge. Booths will be set up representing each of the five resorts, where guests can try various small plates of food. One booth will feature the chef's fresh citrus margaritas, $5 each. Drinks aren't included in the cover but can be ordered at the bar. Tickets can be purchased ahead or you can pay at the door. Local artists who display their work at SeaVenture will be there to talk about their art with guests.
- HERITAGE FESTIVAL: The Central Coast Folk Festival starts on Thursday, Jan. 15 through Sunday, Jan. 18, celebrating the American heritage of music, art, food, and wine. For more information and the entire schedule of events held by the Boutique Hotel Collection on all four nights, visit ccfolk.com or contact Casey Moss at 556-3306.
The Cliffs Resort in Shell Beach
At Marisol the heritage dinner takes place Friday night, Jan. 16, with a free concert by Jack and the Lion who'll perform modern folk-rock music from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. The gourmet dinner begins at 6 p.m. featuring five distinctive courses, each one paired with wine or a drink. Each course was created by a chef from one of the Boutique Hotel Collection resorts. For instance, Chef David McWilliam of Sycamore Mineral Springs prepared fresh Dungeness crab Louie with green goddess dressing and paired it with Ortman 2007 Chardonnay; Chef Gregg Wangard prepared the smoked rib-eye steak with pommes Anna, a Malabar pepper reduction, and paired it with Firestone Walker robust porter reserve. The entire dinner costs $70 per person including tax and gratuity—now that's a good value.
Saturday, Jan. 17
Orchid at the Inn at Morro Bay
Friday night's heritage dinner features complimentary music by the Lost Boys Trio with David Talmage. Chef Anthony Reeves' creative "vittles" menu offers such dishes as cauliflower bisque with roasted beets and Kendall Farms crème fraîche paired with Graveyard Vineyards Tombstone white blend, and Santa Maria-style charbroiled beef tri-tip with herb roasted potatoes, pinquito beans, spinach, and garlic bread, with Vina Robles Red4. It's only $30 for three courses, $45 with wine pairings,
per person.
Sunday, Jan. 18
The Apple Farm in San Luis Obispo
The array of foods on chef Stephen Walls "vittles prix fixe" menu is amazing. He's giving you the opportunity to create your own three-course gourmet dinner by picking from four choices each in appetizers, entrées, and desserts. How about Caesar salad, homemade soup, BBQ pork, turkey mole tamales, or a Diablo bake with clams, shrimp, chicken, and Linguica in spicy tomato sauce on a bed of spicy rice? Desserts by the Apple Farm's longtime pastry chef Willette "Willy" Vey include fruit cobbler, cream cheese pie, brownie ala mode and apple brown Betty ala mode, providing a sweet conclusion. Only $25 per person.
There's much, much more going on during each of the four days at these participating hotels. If you happen to miss the Central Coast Folk Festival you can still enjoy the unique dinners these chefs created through January 31 during SLO County Restaurant Month. Each of the hotels will be offering a special three-course dinner with a heritage theme for $30 per person without wine, or $45 per person with wine pairings (tax and gratuity not included).
For details and menu samples from all of the SLO County participating restaurants visit sanluisobispocounty.com and click on the "restaurant" tab to get information about restaurant month. This is the rare occasion when being late for dinner doesn't mean missing out on a fine meal. Bon appetit!
