'It Started With A Parable' A solo installation at The Old Shoreditch Station
12th September to 24th November 2013
During the 6-week exhibition, coinciding with London Design Festival and in his first presentation of new work since Milan Design Week, Yinka Ilori adds pieces to his collection by using a combination of vintage modernist furniture and traditional stories from his childhood, creating one-off pieces inspired by traditional Nigerian parables and story-telling, creating meaningful yet humorous furniture designs.
Yinka will be at The Old Shoreditch Station for live up-cycling sessions, using pieces donated by Jaguar Shoes and vintage modernist furniture from across East London, working in all three spaces, the building itself having been renovated and up-cycled by its owners JaguarShoes Collective.
"This is a pivotal moment for Yinka who is stepping out of the guise of graduate designer to become an emerging talent. He has already showcased his work at the ICFF (International Contemporary Furniture Fair) in New York, and was selected to exhibit at Talents at Ambiente in Frankfurt, so the opportunity to feature alongside some of the world's finest designers as part of London Design Festival adds to the excitement, and we are honoured to be collaborating with him on his first solo outing." - Look Like Love
'It Started With A Parable' runs from 12th September to 24th November at Old Shoreditch Station, 1 Kingsland Rd London, E2 8AA
Look Like Love - Set up by Kate Brewer and Eden Asfaha in 2011 to support, promote and showcase new designers, Look Like Love have extended their reach beyond their blog and on-line shop, to work with designers on an individual basis to co-curate, in Ilori's case, his first solo exhibition.
Yinka Ilori - Product & furniture designer with the future in mind, Yinka Ilori up-cycles and re-works old, unloved furniture to produce brand new interpretations. Yinka Ilori aims to challenge perceptions of waste through the regeneration and revitalisation of every-day furniture, where every piece deserves the chance to be loved again. Yinka Ilori has benefited hugely from the Prince's Trust who supported him when he graduated, and without their assistance, he would not be the successful designer he is today.
JAGUARSHOES COLLECTIVE - constitutes a group of creatively motivated businesses and individuals working in art, film, fashion, music, publishing and design. We provide many platforms for creative talent; from exhibitions and events, to collaborative products and retail opportunities. We believe in, and aim to motivate positive change through creative output.
Our launch will take place on Thursday 12th September from 7pm and we'd love to see you there...

On August 14, 2006 the town of Hatch, New Mexico was devastated by flooding. Since then, Cornerstones has been at the forefront of efforts to flood victims. A grant from the National Trust and generous support from the Prothro Family Foundation has permitted our technical staff to conduct conditions assessments of damaged adobe homes and provide advice to homeowners that will help preserve—and in many cases prevent the collapse of the town's traditional adobe homes.
This effort underscores the important role Cornerstones plays in preservation in the region. We are essentially the only SWAT team for disasters related to historic adobe structures; be they historically significant, or, as in the case with Hatch, just simple vernacular buildings that the foundation of our unique cultural landscape.

We strive for an academically-oriented and balanced program for our preschoolers. Teachers use a structured but flexible method of teaching. Christ-like values such as respect, honesty, self-control, patience, good manners and kindness are emphasized. Various techniques are used in the classroom to teach such as learning centers, small and large group activities, one-on-one and group discussions, art and free play.
The preschool is approved by the Tennessee Department of Education. Both the Three and Four-Year-Old programs have well equipped classrooms where age appropriate toys, learning activities and play centers are used to supplement themed units taught. We understand that children learn and retain more through hands-on activities and we offer this particular learning process.
Areas of study are weekly units, Bible characters, letter and number recognition, math and phonics. Teachers work together in order to build a strong curriculum which allows the three-year-old class to lay a foundation for the four-year-old class to build upon. The goal is to prepare each student for necessary kindergarten expectations.
Special Area Classes
- Bi-weekly music class
- Weekly computer class
- Chapel
- Art
- Mentoring program with Middle School students
Requirements In Order to Apply
- 3 or 4-years-old by August 15th
- Completely potty trained (and able to tend to bathroom habits)

It all started when...
In 2013, I built a pair of speakers for myself as a DIY project. Being a fingerstyle guitar player with a wide variety of musical interest, I wanted to improve my listening experience with recorded music at home. I quickly found that the product I built was so much better than everything on the market, even competitive if not better than $10k+ systems, that it demanded my stewardship and attention as a business.
Now, I build and sell complete full range stereo sound systems full time to help others obtain world class audio at an affordable and realistic price. My father (who also works with me in the business) and I both hold engineering degrees from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville- mine in Mechanical and his in Nuclear engineering. Today, we have both left working directly in those industries but bring that level of technical prowess to our product. We detest and are actively looking to make a huge and permanent dent in the remarkably large world of snake-oil audio sales that still pervades today.
Let us help you with your stereo needs. Whether you need to build your personal network and impress guests with living room get-togethers or mix your own music with speakers that give reference grade flatness across the Hz range, we can help you and make sure that whatever you do with audio will make you choose CRS Acoustics speakers for your reproduction needs time and time again.

The combination of Reid wanting to do right by McNabb and McNabb not wanting to languish in obscurity clearly accomplished one thing: Donovan was sent to a team that both men thought could be a contender. Heckert describes the natural reaction many people had to the trade, which is that they wouldn't have sent McNabb within the NFC East.
Perhaps if Heckert had still been in Philly, then McNabb would be in Oakland right now, but it's tough to say. Is Reid really that sentimental that he would sabotage his own team's chances of winning? Much of the circumstantial evidence suggests that he might have cared about McNabb enough to do just that.
But what if that's not true?

So I'm not going to name names but a certain brunette blogger with a penchant for bad puns and theology thinks that leap years are just about the coolest thing ever!!!
The last time a leap year rolled around I was in college and my friends and I wanted to do something to commemorate the leap day. We decided to watch the movie Leap Year with Amy Adams and Matthew Goode (we liked him before it was cool Downtown Abbey fans). It's a really fun movie that we first saw together when it came out in theaters. Semi-predictable in that you know where it's going but you thoroughly enjoy the ride and all the scenic photos of beautiful Ireland. If you're a person with strong impulses like me you too might be tempted to book your trip after watching.
Anyway, to seal the celebratory mood we ordered a cookie cake from Campus Cookies, an organization whose name is too self-explanatory for me to justify explaining what they do. We chose what color icing we wanted and requested that the cake read, "Happy Leap Day!" because we are lovably corny like that.
So we were watching the movie and the cookie-decorated van (true story) pulled up to our complex. The driver came up to our unit and made the delivery. We eagerly opened the box to behold their masterpiece which read, "Happy Leep Day!"
All I can say is I hope the employee who designed that cake wasn't a fellow college student…
Happy Leap Day!

The City of League City is committed to improving online financial transparency. The City has participated in the Texas Comptroller Leadership Circle program since its inception in December 2009. The City has always received the highest level of recognition available which includes the Platinum Award in 2015 following four years at the gold level. This award recognized local governments across Texas that opened their books to the public, provided clear and consistent pictures of spending and shared information in a user-friendly format that let taxpayers easily drill down for more information.
In 2019, the City received recognition from Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar for transparency goals related to public pensions. The City received a Transparency Star for public pensions, which is awarded to local governments whose websites provide visual and narrative explanations of actuarial valuations, contribution rates and benchmark comparisons, along with meeting other criteria.
The Comptroller's office launched the Transparency Stars program in March 2016 to recognize cities, counties, school districts and special purpose districts making important strides toward greater government transparency. After receiving a Traditional Finances star, local entities can go on to apply in other areas for up to five stars:

Halotolerance is the adaptation of living organisms to conditions of high salinity.[1] Halotolerant species tend to live in areas such as hypersaline lakes, coastal dunes, saline deserts, salt marshes, and inland salt seas and springs. Halophiles are organisms that live in highly saline environments, and require the salinity to survive, while halotolerant organisms (belonging to different domains of life) can grow under saline conditions, but do not require elevated concentrations of salt for growth. Halophytes are salt-tolerant higher plants. Halotolerant microorganisms are of considerable biotechnological interest.[2]
Fields of scientific research relevant to halotolerance include biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, physiology, ecology, and genetics.
An understanding of halotolerance can be applicable to areas such as arid-zone agriculture, xeriscaping, aquaculture (of fish or algae), bioproduction of desirable compounds (such as phycobiliproteins or carotenoids) using seawater to support growth, or remediation of salt-affected soils. In addition, many environmental stressors involve or induce osmotic changes, so knowledge gained about halotolerance can also be relevant to understanding tolerance to extremes in moisture or temperature.
Goals of studying halotolerance include increasing the agricultural productivity of lands affected by soil salination or where only saline water is available. Conventional agricultural species could be made more halotolerant by gene transfer from naturally halotolerant species (by conventional breeding or genetic engineering) or by applying treatments developed from an understanding of the mechanisms of halotolerance. In addition, naturally halotolerant plants or microorganisms could be developed into useful agricultural crops or fermentation organisms.
Cellular functions in halophytes[edit]
Tolerance of high salt conditions can be obtained through several routes. High levels of salt entering the plant can trigger ionic imbalances which cause complications in respiration and photosynthesis, leading to reduced rates of growth, injury and death in severe cases. To be considered tolerant of saline conditions, the protoplast must show methods of balancing the toxic and osmotic effects of the increased salt concentrations. Halophytic vascular plants can survive on soils with salt concentrations around 6%, or up to 20% in extreme cases. Tolerance of such conditions is reached through the use of stress proteins and compatible cytoplasm osmotic solutes.[3]
To exist in such conditions, halophytes tend to be subject to the uptake of high levels of salt into their cells, and this is often required to maintain an osmotic potential lower than that of the soil to ensure water uptake. High salt concentrations within the cell can be damaging to sensitive organelles such as the chloroplast, so sequestration of salt is seen. Under this action, salt is stored within the vacuole to protect such delicate areas. If high salt concentrations are seen within the vacuole, a high concentration gradient will be established between the vacuole and the cytoplasm, leading to high levels of energy investment to maintain this state. Therefore, the accumulation of compatible cytoplasmic osmotic solutes can be seen to prevent this situation from occurring. Amino acids such as proline accumulate in halophytic Brassica species, quaternary ammonium bases such as Glycine Betaine and sugars have been shown to act in this role within halophytic members of Chenopodiaceae and members of Asteraceae show the buildup of cyclites and soluble sugars. The buildup of these compounds allow for the balancing of the osmotic effect while preventing the establishment of toxic concentrations of salt or requiring the maintenance of high concentration gradients
Bacterial halotolerance[edit]
The extent of halotolerance varies widely amongst different species of bacteria.[4] A number of cyanobacteria are halotolerant; an example location of occurrence for such cyanobacteria is in the Makgadikgadi Pans, a large hypersaline lake in Botswana.[5]
Fungal halotolerance[edit]
Fungi from habitats with high concentration of salt are mostly halotolerant (i.e. they do not require salt for growth) and not halophilic. Halophilic fungi are a rare exception.[6] Halotolerant fungi constitute a relatively large and constant part of hypersaline environment communities, such as those in the solar salterns.[7] Well studied examples include the yeast Debaryomyces hansenii and black yeasts Aureobasidium pullulans and Hortaea werneckii.[8] The latter can grow in media without salt, as well as in almost saturated NaCl solutions. To emphasize this unusually wide adaptability, some authors describe H. werneckii as "extremely halotolerant".[9]

Tips for testing and buying makeup @ Bobbi Brown
|Bobbi Brown eyeshadow sample TY received from her purchases.
|Bobbi Brown Eye shadow: White/Malted/Espresso
It turns out she is a huge fan of Bobbi Brown due to their corrective make up style. Her favourite outlet is at Midvalley with their customer service. (cant verify this till I check it out again myself).
This is what she does when she heads to Bobbi Brown make up counters:
1) She normally doesnt wear any make up when she goes there. Then she will ask about their blushers or eyeshadows. TY mentions that it is a good tactic to ask about the products that come in the layers after the foundation, so the BAs have to apply the foundation before the other products.
TY notes that she doesnt ask the BA if she could test the product, but the BA will ask her to sit at the counter to try them out (TY is a cheeky girl).
2) TY says to specify the particular product you are looking for, and dont say you are 'just looking in general' or 'are not sure what you are looking for', as the BA will then know you are only window shopping.
TY also notes that she gets a lot of samples after making purchases, as all customers will have a profile with Bobbi Brown. BAs are able to check your past purchases and transactions, and the more you buy, the more samples they will give out (I hope).
Anyways, I was at Sunway Pyramid after my makeup class today.
There I found the independent shops of Laura Mercier, Bloop, Yves Rocher, The Body Shop, Inglot, Clinique, MAC, and Shu Uemura. But they dont have Bobbi Brown outlets in Sunway Pyramid though. I wonder why?
|My past Estee Lauder purchase at Parkson Pyramid.
Estee Lauder also has a sign up on their counter giving free 5 minute makeup refreshers, so that is a good invite to try out their colours.
Parkson has the RM10 voucher for every RM150 purchase promotion, and sometimes also the RM5 as well. When I do get the vouchers, I sometimes use them for myself, or just pass it to my mother.
I am actually interested in Bobbi Brown colours, as I prefer make up that follows the skin tone. It turns out the same is for Laura Mercier. However their prices arent cheap, so I will have to wait for promotional periods before doing so.
I would go to Bobbi Brown for normal daily make up cosmetics, but if I wanted make up with splashes of colour, I would prefer MAC.
I previously bought the MAC black gel eyeliner, a MAC eyeshadow, their Prep and Prime Transparent Finishing Powder, as well as their Mascara (which has since dried out) under Malswisse, as they had special student prices. TY tells me that Malswisse no longer stocks on MAC products now though.
What are your makeup testing and buying tactics? Do share your thoughts with us.

The culture of the open well – a need for revivalJanuary 14, 2013
Water dreams for 2013 – Bangalore and any city.January 5, 2013
This is the time of the year when you do a round up of what went by but perhaps more importantly what can occur in the near future. Here then is a wish list for 2013 vis-à-vis water in all its forms.
We will all become water warriors – Let us imagine an active citizenry engaged daily in wise water use, water conservation, solid waste management such that water is not wasted or the environment polluted by any one of their actions. It is not too difficult and as Gandhiji said 'Be the change you want to see in the world'.
The institution will achieve universal coverage – Each and every home in the city will have a water and sanitation connection, be it 'pukka' or 'kutcha' , be it legal or not , be it in a slum or in a posh neighbourhood . Difficult? Not really if each ward of the city measures the connections achieved on a monthly basis.
The tanks in the city will ALL be revived – That every neighbourhood will have a clean expanse of water body to gaze at, to walk around, and to see the birds and that it will be a community property resource for all to enjoy.
The storm-water drains in the city will be cleaned – sewage treatment plants distributed all across the city will clean all the waste-water picked up by an efficient sewage line network. The treated waste water will be let into wetlands which abut tanks and thence will fill the water body to the brim. Only rainwater from roads will flow in the storm drains.
The rainwater in storm-water drains will be recharged into the aquifer through a series of recharge wells
Rainwater harvesting in every home – Rain barrels will dot every home and every apartment, collecting rainwater for supplementary use. Those buildings which cannot will collect rainwater in sumps or make recharge wells to allow it to go into the aquifer replenishing it.
Bore-wells– The mad drilling of individual bore-wells will stop, instead a sharing of ground-waters through community bore-wells will happen. People will instead contribute to keeping these bore-wells recharged through individual point recharge structures in storm water drains and within the plot.
Every bore-well will be recharged with clean, filtered rainwater
Septic tanks and pit toilets – those buildings not connected to the sewage lines will have well designed septic tanks and pit toilets emptied at regular intervals by the mechanical sludge removers called Honey-suckers. This removed sludge will be scientifically composted and reused as fertilizer to revitalize soils all across the city.
Schools, colleges, anganwadis and hospitals – Special attention will be paid to these institutions where the young and the vulnerable occupy. Water and sanitation will be available 24/7 thus ensuring health, hygiene and water literacy.
Parks and playgrounds – Most of the parks will become tree based instead of the water guzzling lawn based parks. Each park will harvest its own rainwater correctly by linking catchment, conveyance and recharge properly.
Here is wishing us to become a water sensitive city in this year alone.' You may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one' as one of the Beatles has famously said.
Trees of Bangalore – the Pongaemia (karanj- hongey)January 2, 2013
The Pongaemia Pinnata is a lovely , hardy tree found all over Bangalore. It provides shade in summer . Its flowers and leaves are very rich soil fertilizers. The seeds are pressed for oil and have been traditionally used for lighting lamps. Now they are also used as a bio-diesel. The tree harbours many birds and insects and is fabled in the Tamil language especially.

|Rebecca's Dilled Beans
Thanks Rebecca for sharing your fantastic work!
Dilled Green Beans
3 tbsp pickling or canning salt (kosher salt will also work)
3 cups white vinegar
3 cups water
2 1/4 lbs green beans, trimmed and cut into jar-sized pieces
2 1/4 lbs yellow beans, trimmed and cut into jar-sized pieces
3 small red bell peppers, seeded and sliced into thin strips
18 whole black peppercorns
6 sprigs fresh dill
6 cloves of garlic
Prepare canner, jars and lids.
In a large stainless steel saucepan combine salt, vinegar and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve salt. Add green and yellow beans and red peppers. Return to a boil. Remove from heat.
Place 3 peppercorns, 1 sprig of dill, and 1 clove of garlic in each hot jar. Pack beans and pepper strips into hot jars to within a generous 1/2 in. of top of jar. Ladle hot pickling liquid into to jar to cover everything, leaving 1/2 in. headspace. Remove air bubbles and adjust headspace, if you need to, by adding more liquid. Wipe rim. Center lid on jar, and screw band down until fingertip-tight.
Place jars in canner, ensuring they're completely covered with water. Bring to a boil and process for 10 minutes. Remove canner lid. Wait 5 minutes, then remove jars, cool, and store.
Makes about 6 pint jars.
From The Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving pg 308
Additional note: Make sure your brine comes to a boil then add the beans since they should only be in the brine a minute or two.

To celebrate making it to the double digits (#10) I'm presenting edited highlights of my first day wearing the body cam without the interference of reading material. Yesterday I did not have footage to post because I didn't enter public space without family, so I created a space of reflection. Interaction with people has been lacking, so I decided to try eliminating reading material from my travels. After today I realized this project was dangerously becoming one sided, hierarchical, caught a kind of feedback loop- the glasshole needed to be broken or inverted or dissolved by conversation, contact with other humans.
I probably won't do this again- but here is an edited version of what happened.


text: Vitesse Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: VTSS), a leading provider of advanced IC solutions for Carrier and Enterprise networks, extended its family of low power, multi-protocol, adaptive retimers with the VSC7227 signal conditioner. Supporting data rates from 155 Mbps to 14.1 Gbps and adaptive equalization on each channel with no requirement for firmware, the VSC7227 is the lowest power 12-channel solution available. Dissipating only 150 mW per channel, the VSC7227 delivers an average power savings of 25% over competitive solutions and is targeted for use in network equipment supporting next-generation protocols such as 10G/40G/100G Ethernet, InfiniBand FDR and 16G Fibre Channel. "Vitesse continues to build on its years of experience in solving critical signal integrity challenges with devices like the VSC7227, which allow for seamless channel extension and higher data rate migration in networking equipment," said Aditi Vaghashia, product marketing manager at Vitesse. "Vitesse's connectivity solutions are broadly deployed for their flexibility and superior signaling capabilities. The VSC7227's multi-rate support, ease of use, power savings and flexibility enables our customers to deliver higher performance solutions at lower cost and power." The VSC7227 supports advanced data center features by allowing protection switching options using common Enterprise protocols such as Ethernet, OTN, InfiniBand, and Fibre Channel. The device can support standard or proprietary redundancy switching methods through the integration of a 2 x 2 crosspoint switch on each adjacent channel. The VSC7227's use of a single 1.2V power supply simplifies rack switch and router designs for data centers. Delivering fully adaptive equalization on each channel to compensate for loss and combat reflections and crosstalk, the VSC7227 also allows for 33% reduction in BOM costs through features such as a pin-strapping mode, allowing use of the device without a microprocessor, and through integration of AC-coupling capacitors on input channels. The VSC7227 uses Vitesse's proven FlexEQ™ adaptive algorithms, giving designers the choice of automatic equalization or programmed input EQ and output de-emphasis. The input equalizer can compensate for more than 30 dB of loss at 14.1 Gbps, while the three-tap FIR output driver provides 18 dB of de-emphasis at that data rate. These performance characteristics translate into practical cost-saving benefits, such as the ability to close a link across 65 inches of FR4 board trace & 20 meters of 24 AWG QSFP copper cable. To facilitate diagnostics, the VSC7227 also integrates VScope™, Vitesse's embedded waveform technology to provide eye diagram information for signals presented to the receiver. Complementary product offerings include Vitesse's VSC7224, a multi-protocol, adaptive quad channel extender. Product Packaging and Availability The VSC7227 is implemented in mass production CMOS technology, and packaged in a 13 x 13 mm BGA. It is sampling immediately. More device information is available at: www.vitesse.com/products/product.php?number=VSC7227. FlexEQ and VScope: World-Class Signal Integrity Vitesse was first to introduce integrated signal equalization in crosspoints switches and now has over a decade of successful product developments and dozens of products in production. FlexEQ adaptive equalization technology reduces the cost of transmission by allowing signals to travel farther, faster, and error free in challenging fiber and copper applications. VScope embedded waveform technology allows confirmation of signal quality and system operation up to the SFP+ connector along with a full suite of BIST functions. These capabilities accelerate the diagnostic and troubleshooting phase of new system design, allowing OEMs to bring their products to market quickly.

Cape Coral Police Department Needs Your Help Identifying Check Fraud Suspects
(June 19, 2014)- Cape Coral Police Detectives need your help identifying two check fraud suspects.
The owner of a local business in Cape Coral reported that his phone lines were intercepted and all his business calls were forwarded to a local phone number he did not recognize. The suspects in the pictures above then cashed and attempted to cash two checks using the account number of his company at the BB&T branch locations at 1621 Cape Coral Pkwy. W. and 1321 SE 47th Ter., Cape Coral. When the bank called the business number to verify the large checks could be cashed, the subjects intercepted the phone call, identified themselves as the owner, and gave authorization to cash the checks.
The account number used on the checks was stolen from the mailbox of a company in the North industrial park. The suspects provided identification as "William Pooler" and "Lisa Reed"; however, these are of course fake names/ID's.
Please take a look at the pictures above. If you have any information on the identity of the suspects, please contact the Cape Coral Police Department at 239-574-3223. You can also submit an anonymous tip. Go to www.capecops.com/tips or text a tip- text CCPD+"Your Message" to CRIMES (274637). Finally, you can call Crimestoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS.

Portugal delivered a pleasant surprise on Wednesday, posting the euro zone's strongest growth in the second quarter, but its political fragility is still concerning analysts.
The peripheral euro zone economy exited recession after two and a half years of contraction in the second quarter of 2013, with a better-than-expected 1.1 percent jump in GDP (gross domestic product) growth. This was fueled in part by improved tourism revenues.
The growth was hailed by the government as vindication of its austerity-based policies – and that government needs a bit of good news after a high-profile squabble last month.
(Read more: Why Portugal has to save itself)
A crisis in the coalition government began at the start of July with the resignations of Finance Minister Vitor Gaspar and Foreign Minister Paulo Portas. Portugal's vulnerability in the bond markets was demonstrated by a spike in 10-year yields to over 8 percent. While Portas has since returned to government, and the coalition seems to have been patched up, there are worries that this is a band-aid rather than a plaster cast.
An election is expected next year, and the opposition Socialists would probably win, according to Robert Parker, senior adviser at Credit Suisse.

Fairfield – Only six openings remain for the years final Camp Floyd History Camps for kids scheduled on August 7 – 9, 2012. The Camps are a fun-filled educational experience about how soldiers lived at Camp Floyd in 1861, and how the Utah War served pre-Civil War objectives. Campers meet costumed interpreters, play 19th century games, drill, march and set up a soldier's camp, fire an 1860s period firearm, make and take home soldier craft activities. Other activities include conducting a full-scale military exercise; and observing muskets and a cannon fired.
Participants will receive a 2012 history camp t-shirt, Union or Confederate kepi, replica rifle, canteen, haversack, harmonica and more. Campers return home each day with furlough papers. The park may be able to provide carpooling information with others in your area. These programs are for both boys and girls, eight to 11 years of age. Each camp is limited to 24 participants and runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Reservations and $90 camp fee are required. Reservations are made on line.
Established in 1858, Camp Floyd housed the largest concentration of U.S. troops then in the United State. The troops were sent to Utah to suppress a rumored Mormon rebellion, which never took place. The army was recalled back east in 1861 for the Civil War emergency.
Camp Floyd State Park is located in the town of Fairfield, 22 miles southwest of Lehi on State Highway 73. For more information, please contact the park at: 801-768-8932.

Korean cooking forums
Home › Forums › Korean food discussion › How to say "I like it spicy"?
This topic contains 3 replies, has 3 voices, and was last updated by 500Sandwiches 5 years, 12 months ago.
Help! An extensive internet search will uncover numerous translations for "It's too spicy" or "I don't like spicy food" in Korean but phrases like "I like spicy food" or "make it spicy, please" cannot be found anywhere.
So, if I am at a Korean restaurant and wanted to communicate I do indeed like spicy food, how would I say it? If I'm at a new restaurant, because I am not Korean, I feel I am sometimes served food that is a bit mild.
In Korean, if you want to ask for something to be made spicy, you can say "maepgae haeju saeyo" (맵게 해주세요), which means "please make it spicy". If you want to say you want it really hot, you can add the word "aju" (아주) in the front, meaning "very", i.e. "aju maepgae haeju saeyo"
Mikura, you are awesome! Your answer is very correct. I really appreciate your help!
Thank you, Mikura!

Jonny Sexton kicked seven from seven on his Leinster return yesterday in a Blues performance that had Joe Schmidt purring.
Back in situ after a 10-week injury lay-off, the Lions hopeful proved an inspirational force for a Leinster side that ran in five tries against the hapless Italians.
The win took them back up to second place in the table and one step closer to a home semi-final.
Tom Denton, Fergus McFadden, Fionn Carr, Dominic Ryan and Isa Nacewa grabbed the tries for the visitors, who look in fine fettle ahead of this weekend's Amlin Cup showdown against Biarritz.
Whether Sexton or rival Ian Madigan will don the No10 shirt for that particular affair remains anyone's guess.
Schmidt hinted that the six-day turnaround may influence his selection, presumably in favour of Madigan.
But his appraisal of Sexton's performance suggested that he himself still is still unsure. "We would always back Johnny to make his kicks but on top of that he got through a power of work, especially considering he hasn't played in so long," said Schmidt.
"It was great to have him back out there. He is a great general out on the field and he gave us a fair bit of direction.
"In terms of next week, the six day turnaround would probably favour fresher players but at the same time Jonathan is a marquee player for us and played with great assurity today."
Indeed, Sexton was at the heart of everything good for a Leinster side which, after 15 minutes, looked on course for their biggest win of the season.
Patient, controlled build-up play was evident and they were rewarded with two tries inside the opening quarter of an hour. The first was a simple run-in for Denton out wide after some neat footwork and good hands by Andrew Goodman.
Shortly after, McFadden skirted home from roughly the same position after Sexton's killer pass.
The returning out-half kicked both conversions as well as an earlier penalty but the wheels began to buckle as the half wore on and some soft tackling saw Zebre tie up the scores before half-time, Sinoti Sinoti and Daniel Halangahu both crossing for converted tries.
Whatever Joe Schmidt said at the break seemed to have the desired effect and they opened a 10-point lead within five minutes of the second half.
Sexton slotted a penalty before angling a crossfield kick which stood up nicely for Nacewa who in turn fed Carr for the try.
They didn't have to wait too much longer for the all-important fourth try scored by Ryan after an inside feed from Rhys Ruddock.
Nacewa added a fifth try from a quick tap penalty and once again Sexton converted, his last action before leaving the fray.
Carlo Festuccia snuck home for a late Zebre try but it proved little more than a consolation.

This is what I get from other Real Estate (RE) Agents when I try to engage them in conversation about what is wrong with our industry and our need to advocate for higher standards and different ways of doing things. I don't think many of them actually realize that RE Agents have a bad reputation (or they are simply in denial). They don't realized that the average agent is seen as an unscrupulous pestering "sales men" and beggar.
I have to be careful what I say when around other agents, as most of them have drunk the Koolaid and have been doing so for years. The Harris Poll publishes polls each year, listing the most (and least) trusted professions. Real Estate Agents are chronically at the bottom of the list, alongside stockbrokers, auto mechanics, lawyers and insurance agents.
Why is that? Why is Real Estate not a very well respected industry? Why are they often seen as little more than pestering salesmen? Why does no kid say that they want to be a Real Estate agent when they grow up? Amongst agents, it's often joked about how this is a career that people fall into, it's almost never a intentional choice or goal. It happens by accident.
I feel like there are 3 main reasons that Real Estate Agents get a bad (though often deserved) rap.
1. They won't stop talking!
They won't stop talk about themselves, how awesome they are, how successful they are, how much better than other agents they are, how much money they make... need I go on?
And the inverse of this... being a poor listener.
When I talk with my friends who bought homes before I got into this business, I like to ask about their experience with their RE Agent and the most common criticism I heard was that their agent didn't listen to them.
Now of course, there could be many reasons for this:
The agent heard what the client said but didn't understand their client or their expectations, so they mis-interpreted what they wanted.
The agent was more concerned with "up-selling" their client into a more expensive house, so kept showing them properties outside of their price range.
They were too busy talking and trying to prove how smart, knowledgable, successful, etc, rather than listening to and serving their client.
Or they were simply too busy in general, to provide quality time and service that their client desired and deserved.
I have found that there are 2 main reasons that agents are "too busy":
1. They are disorganized and inefficient in how they run their business.
In my observation, this is the biggest culprit of the "too busy" agent. They simply have never bothered to develop a system or get organized and they spend all their time scrambling from one task to the next, in a flurry of inefficient and un-prioritized busyness.
2. They can't say "no".
In order to say "yes" to the right clients, you need to be able to say "no" to the clients who aren't a good fit for your business. "No" to tasks that suck your time but provide no benefit. "No" to the demands of the "tyranny of the urgent", which are constantly trying to draw your attention away from what matters, to that which doesn't.
Reason number 2 that RE Agents get a bad rap:
2. They are viewed as unscrupulous.
It's hard to look at the industries commission structure and wonder how it's not a conflict of interest. The more a home sells for, the higher the commission an agent receives is, so how is it that part of the buyers agents job is to negotiate on the buyers behalf for the lowest possible price? He is negotiating for a lower financial compensation for himself. If your agent is less than ethical and more concerned about his bottom line then doing his job of serving your best interest, this could prove to be a problem.
If you don't have it with your agent, you don't have anything. You need to find an agent that you trust to do their very best for you, advocate for you and serve YOUR best interest... even in the rare situation where your best interest is not theirs.
3. Incompetence
There are many factors to why an agent could come across as incompetent.
The most obvious reason would be that they are only doing Real Estate part time. Maybe they have a day job for the security of the paycheck, or maybe they are a stay-at-home mom or simply don't want to work full-time. Either way, as real estate agents we are handling the sale of our clients largest assets, being an expert is critical. An expert in the market. An expert in navigating the complex buying and selling process. An expert negotiator, etc. And how does one become an expert at something? Experience. They do it all the time. And frankly, Part-time agents typically don't have the experience necessary not to make basic mistakes (which could spell large financial liability for the client). On an even more basic level, they likely won't be available when you most need them. Maybe they'll return your call during their lunch hour or after they get off work or check their messages. But with today's fast-paced real estate business, an agent being unavailable is unacceptable and could cost you the deal.
There is also just the factor of laziness. There are lots of good agents but then there are those who become complacent and just expect to make big money but no-longer care to put in the work and hours to do their due diligence and take proper care of their clients.
Where is the agents focus? What do they spend the majority of their time doing?
So much of the focus is on where is the agents next transaction is going to come from. The "accountability questions" from the broker are often along the lines of, 'how many homes do you want to sell this year?', 'how much money do you want to make?'. It's no wonder most RE Agents are 'transactional' in their focus and just move from one client to the next as any sales person would, versus doing the hard work of developing legitimate and long lasting relationships with their clients.
RE Agents are told that this job is all about relationships but then at the same time told that our main job and most of our time should be spent "prospecting"... which in many cases, is a nice way of saying begging for business. We are taught to "ask for business" at every opportunity. We are told that "every 'No' is closer to a 'Yes'..." setting up the expectation that rejection is normal, just keep bugging people until someone agrees to work with you.
It's really should be no surprise to me that agents prefer to bury their head in the sand regarding the reputation of our profession. The industry as a whole is very inward looking. Always giving kudos and pats on the back to each other for a great sales year, 'Top Producer' status, 'golden circle awards' and other meaningless awards for making the brokerage firm money. The agents and firms alike think that they are pretty great and are so entrenchment in the status-quo that I don't think they genuinely see how most people or society at large views them. On top of that blindness, the industry resists change at every turn, even change that would be best for our clients. Change that would result in increased efficiency, saved money for clients or revolution how the industry works... they all see it as a threat to the system and their livelihood. A threat to how 'things have always been done'. I understand being scared of the unknown but in no other industry have I seen such resistance to new technology, resistance to new ways of doing things or new models that may actually serve our clients better than we are able to do now.
In the end, I think the industry has largely done this to themselves by fighting to maintain the status quo and not policing up the 'bad apples'. Organizations like the National Association of Realtors (NAR) lobby to keep the bar for becoming a RE Agent, nice and low (The more agents there are, the more dues can be paid to them and the more money and power they have). You need more credit hours to become a hair stylist then you do to get your RE License... Kind of crazy. And the engrained sales culture and brokerage model lends itself to bringing in "go getters" who are more focused on the numbers and size of sales, rather than the quality of each transaction and conducting the business in a way that is best for their clients and the industry as a whole. Brokerages know it's a number game - get as many agents in your office as possible and some of them will end up making them money... the quality of the agent are rarely a factor.
These are just a few of the issues I have with the industry as a whole and why I'm committed to doing things differently... doing it better!
But in all fairness... I do believe there are more good agents out there then bad ones and as is the case with many things in our information age, it's the bad news and "horror stories" that spread the fastest and furthest. It's the bad experiences everyone hears about, not the trusted agents who are quietly doing their job with integrity and competence, leading to well served and happy clients.
So while I don't doubt that the reputation for the industry as a whole is largely deserved, it doesn't mean that all agents fall into this camp. It's critically important that you know what makes a good Real Estate Agent and that you engage one as part of your trusted team when it comes time for you to research your options in buying or selling your home.
Does any of this resonate with you? Do you have a real estate "horror story" to share with us Tell us in the comments below... we want to hear from you!
Now when your ready, you know who will tell it to you straight and who you can trust to serve you best.
Until next time, be well.

A User-Centered Tool for Entrepreneurs
How to bring your product to the market in a User-Centered way?
A staggering 70% of all innovations fail due to lack of user acceptance. Worried about this fact, a local government agency (Agentschap Ondernemen) asked U-Sentric to develop a tool to help entrepreneurs from the healthcare sector to succesfully bring their novel products to the market. We developed an efficient, low-threshold User-Centered tool to change the mindset of the entrepreneurs and to introduce them to the different aspects of User-Centered design.
What did we do
First, we invited the entrepreneurs working with Agentschap Ondernemen to a series of workshops in which we gave them a "deep dive" into the world of User-Centered design. The main objective of these workshops was to get the entrepreneurs in a User-Centered mindset and to make them realize the importance of putting the end user in the center of the innovation and development processes, resulting in an increased user acceptance and market success
The outcome
The workshops were a real eye-opener for the participants. They gained a lot of insights into their target audience and the way they should approach them while launching their projects.
Based upon the learning and insights from the workshops, U-Sentric developed a User-Centered tool for entrepreneurs. This tool helps the entrepreneurs throughout the entire process from defining the challenge until the after-sales.

As part of the Obama Administration's ongoing efforts to ensure the safe and responsible production of domestic offshore energy resources, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is proposing to administratively increase the limit of liability for oil-spill removal costs and related damages from $75 million to approximately $134 million. The increase would apply to offshore facilities in federal and state waters under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, and is consistent with recommendations from the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and other studies that called for a statutory increase in the limit of liability.
"This proposed change is the first administrative increase to the liability cap since the Oil Pollution Act came into effect twenty-four years ago and is necessary to keep pace with the 78 percent increase in inflation since 1990," said BOEM Director Tommy P. Beaudreau. "This adjustment helps to preserve the deterrent effect and the 'polluter pays' principle embodied in the law."
The rule would also establish the methodology BOEM would use for future inflation adjustments to the liability cap. The Department of the Interior has determined that these changes would further protect the environment by ensuring that any party that causes an oil spill would pay an increased amount of any potential damages. The adjustment is the maximum increase that may be implemented without legislation.
BOEM is publishing this proposed update to its regulations and is soliciting public comments on the adjustment methodology, the clarity of the rule and any other pertinent matters.
Comments may be submitted in one of four ways: In person, via mail, via email or via the internet. Regulation Identifier Number (RIN) 1010–AD87 should be included in any submission. Venues for submission are as follows:
Comments will be made publicly available.
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) promotes energy independence, environmental protection and economic development through responsible, science-based management of offshore conventional and renewable energy resources.

I had been looking forward to this wedding for a while. Actually, I think everyone that knew Kurt+Stacey had been anticipating this wedding for a few years and wished the day would hurry up and arrive. It's funny how in those moments you always look back and are shocked at how fast time flew by... This was exactly the case with this wedding!
Stacey and my wife, Shelley, are 1st cousins so I had seen the Kurt+Stacey's relationship grow from humble beginnings to the tying of the knot. Something I consider pretty special to be able to photograph. But it wasn't until the wedding day where I really understood how amazing these two were and how perfectly matched for each other they are. I mean, I knew they were amazing people before the wedding, but a wedding seems to draw the best out in people and it's ok to be vulnerable. To show emotions that you perhaps generally do not show in public. It's those emotions that, when on display, show your true colours.
Kurt+Stacey's wedding was simply beautiful from start to finish. They say that there are 3 things that people will talk about after the wedding...
- The food
- The music
- The speeches
The food was great, the music had people working their best moves on the dance floor however, I guess for me, the speeches from everyone were some of the best I have heard. The beauty of raw emotion, the honouring of the parents and the humble delivery by everyone who spoke. It was difficult to not choke up behind the camera...
To Kurt+Stacey, thank you for letting me tell your story. I was honoured and I was blessed to be apart of your special day. Thank you!

Even though it is still in the high 80's here, I am enjoying the fact that fall is on it's way. Fall is my favorite season. I get to wear my boots, but it's still warm enough during the day to wear a dress without being cold. I love apple cider and white hot chocolate. I love the long walks the family can take without melting. I love college football season simply because it makes my husband so happy, War Eagle. I love the colors of the season... I really do just love the fall.
What is your favorite season and why?
Thank you for all the help on yesterdays post. I can't wait to go through all your input. My poor husband was editing all day yesterday so I did not have a chance to hop on the computer.

The quintessential "Hitchcock blonde," Grace Kelly had an apparently charmed life. Her movies were mostly hits, her performances were largely well reviewed, and she won an Oscar against stiff competition. Then she literally married a prince. Was it all as perfect as it seemed? Today we'll explore Kelly's public and private life (and the rumors that the two things were very different), her working relationship with Hitchcock, her Oscar-winning performance in The Country Girl, the royal marriage that took her away from Hollywood and Kelly's very specific spin on blonde sexuality.

If he was a cliche' he'd be things like my glue and my rock, and my blah blah blah. Homes with 3 bedrooms can be purchased in Axminster from approximately £180,000 (September 2016) with the occassional bargain at a tiny below that price. This line also passes by means of the point in the opposite path from the zenith exactly where these four directions intersect the ecliptic-the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. The silver pound has contributed to larger than average house costs for the county, and it is consequently rare to find a habitable 3 bedroom house under £200,000 in this seaside town with its fantastic sandy beach.
Exactly where the ecliptic intersects the meridian overhead, at the leading of the chart, we have the Midheaven or Tenth House cusp. Review them prior to you go into your pref convocations—they will assist you decide the order in which you want to list the homes you've visited. Exactly where the ecliptic crosses the eastern horizon, we have the Ascendant or 1st House cusp. This service is accessible from 7:30 a.m. to five p.m. Mondays via Fridays, and from 8 a.m. to adjournment on Saturdays. When we lived in a house that had high humidity, the damp was present simply because we lived in a wet climate, the house had thick stone walls with no damp proof course and there was really little in the way of ventilation.
Hi Increasing Begin, the purpose the responses have such a range is that the original report was written in 2011, and I have updated it annually, and much more lately, every six months, in order to preserve it current. 1 of my kit house projects for this winter is revisiting the mortgage records of Westchester County , New York. You could feel very lonely for the next a number of hours whilst every person goes out to their new houses—but look around the dorm for other girls in your circumstance, and make your own celebration.
Three bedroom homes start off from around £300,000 but an occasional, smaller sized home could seem for sale, so its worth maintaining your eyes open. Others have ssid they did it. Then it's a matter of realizing astrology is so considerably much more than exactly where your sun is situated. The buildings tend to be more frail, and corruption and bullying is nonetheless prevalent, China has been in a hurry in recent years to develop its economy, so the stress on the nail house owners to move out is intense. It is incredible, as you say, that our house costs continue to stay higher right here in the South.
The modern day town is both a operating port and a popular seaside holiday place, 3 bedroom properties are offered for sale in Teignmouth from about £160,000. If the invitations that you acquire are all from the houses at the leading of your list, then you are really, really fortunate. Three-bedroomed terraced homes can be bought for as small as £60,000, and there are a quantity accessible in the £65,000 to £75,000 cost bracket both in Sheffield and in the surrounding towns and villages, particularly in neighbouring Derbyshire.

A growing appetite for apartments has driven an ongoing increase in the sale of new homes nationally.
New home sales posted a 2.2 per cent monthly increase in November after climbing 3.0 per cent in October, according to the Housing Industry Association (HIA).
Sales of multi-unit dwellings in October and November reached their highest level since September 2003 – this was accompanied by a dip in detached house sales.
HIA chief economist Harley Dale said the December results were also likely to show continued growth in multi-unit sales.
"Upward momentum was evident in both detached house and multi-unit construction in 2013/14," Mr Dale said.
"However, more recently, momentum has been concentrated in multi-units in a situation akin to stage one of the current up-cycle back in 2012/13.
"The key leading indicator measures of building approvals and new home sales suggest this re-concentration of growth in the multi-unit segment will persist into 2015."
Mr Dale said housing policy reform was needed to rebalance the market and drive growth in detached house construction. This, in turn, would deliver productivity gains for the broader Australian economy.

The Brother HL-1440 ($300 street) was the only printer we tested rated at 1,200-by-600 resolution; the others have 600-by-600 resolution (although some also have resolution enhancements). Paper handling on the HL-1440 is flexible, with a 250-sheet input capacity and a manual feed slot. Microsoft Windows XP support is not included in the box, which hampered setup. We also had to download drivers from Brother's Web site. According to the company, however, they are now included in the package.
Separate toner and drum components give a small advantage in consumable costs but add to maintenance tasks. Graphics printed well, but there was noticeable banding in gray areas. Rated at 15 ppm, the HL-1440 took third place on our timing tests. The extra resolution didn't add much to output quality, but low cost per page (2.4 cents) and cartridge costs make this an attractive model.

Used car lemon law
The lemon law was formulated to help consumers who purchase defective vehicles, which are commonly known as lemons. Therefore, a lemon is a vehicle that has not responded to at least four times to repair under the Lemon Law. You know that the vehicle is a lemon if you do not provide services for more than 30 days need not be contiguous. The Lemon Law covers new cars, trucks, motorcycles and campers. Cars,motorcycles and trailers are some vehicles that are not covered by the lemon law in Wisconsin. Are you sure you have a lemon car in Wisconsin, there are several steps to follow and they are as follows.
Of course, the first thing you do is take care of the repair shop. You must be careful to save all repair orders and other relevant documents concerning compensation. At this time, you must be carefulnot to change anything in the vehicle. This will go a long way to ensure that the manufacturer does not blame you for amendment. It will then write to the manufacturer and report the problem with the vehicle. It will offer a chance for him to repair the lemon. Wisconsin Lemon Law requires that you give the manufacturer a reasonable opportunity to repair the vehicle.
If the repair fails, the dealer or manufacturer is required to offer areplacement or refund. When they make their offer, you can take or reject. However, if they are not willing to do anything, your next option is to seek justice by arbitration programs that are available. The program sponsored by the manufacturer worth groped and all you have to do is present your case and have a broker rule. Do you think that arbitration is not fair, but the idea is that you put forward your concerns should be assessed bymediator. If you think that the program will not help you, just do not have to go through it.
The other program you need to consider is the program sponsored by the government of an informal hearing that will give you a forum to air your views and to present your case in the best way possible. Many cases to find a solution at this stage and it would be unwise to ignore them. Some advantages of this method of settling disputes informally which is not expensivemoney and, unlike the hearings, which do not consume much time. Therefore, you should give each option a try before going to court. When you do not have a favorable decision with all the options, you can file a civil suit in a court of law. You will therefore need the guidance of a good lawyer who can guide you to get the justice that you want

10 Tips for Surviving a Summer in the Oregon Woods
By Jake Lewis
In Memoriam - Matthew P. Newton and Gregg E. Greer
As we approach the summer season here in the Northern hemisphere, many skiers and snowboarders will begin to make their way towards the Mt. Hood National Forest to chase the summer snow up on the glacier. You, yourself have thought about making the trek, but due to the expensive summer camp and housing options in the area, you've decided to opt against a Mt. Hood excursion.
But don't roll out the good ol' summer setup just quite yet. You can still enjoy that summer shred, but for half the price that sunburned, slush rat's parents paid for summer camp.
Camping in Mt. Hood National Forest is not only cost-efficient, but often puts you closer to the mountain than many of the residential areas surrounding the mountain. Hell, you could even sleep in the parking lot of the resort if you so desire. It is for these reasons that many attempt to live out of their cars, or outside in a hammock or tent during their visit.
It is in tribute to these brave souls that I put together this little list of 10 Tips for Surviving a Summer in the Oregon Woods.
1. Find a Good Spot
First things first, you gotta know where you're going to camp. Luckily, the Mt. Hood National Forest is bursting with spots to set up. Here's a few of my favorite:
I. Old Timberline Road / W. Leg
Turn up Timberline Road and immediately begin looking for an unmarked dirt road to your left. Follow that road around it's many twists and turns and you'll begin to see pullout areas that line each side of the road.
II. Tollgate Campground (costs $)
Located just a quarter mile East of Rhododendron, this spot sits among some of the tallest trees along Highway 26. It also has really convenient oven-style firepits that make cooking food in the rain WAY more enjoyable.
III. The Airstrip
Head East from Govy and look to your right for signs signaling for Trillium Lake. Turn down road and immediately turn left.
2. Pick a Dry Arrival and Departure Day
Setting up a campsite in the rain is not very fun. That's why it's key to plan your arrival and departure around the weather. Try and be flexible with these two dates, as the rain in Oregon can be relentless.
3. Stay Dry
The moisture, especially towards the beginning of the month of June can be quite intense. I would recommend buying a heavy duty tarp from a recreation outlet, or a hardware store like Home Depot to keep you and your goodies dry during your stay.
Staying dry is the main ingredient to staying warm during nightfall. Even in June, the average low temperature is 41° F, and to combine that with soaking wet ski gear is a recipe for disaster.
4. Stay Entertained
Unless you are a woodcarving savant, or have spent the bulk of your life studying the lifespan of ferns, then you're going to have a rough time sitting under a tarp waiting for the rain to stop. Here's a list of inexpensive fun activities to do while you're in the woods.
-axe throwing
-binge drinking*
-card games
-dig a hole as deep as you can
And of course if you're over 21 there's always Charlie's or the Rat
5. Be Prepared
Shit happens more frequently than you can imagine when you live outside. One tip I would recommend to handle such emergencies is for every dollar you spend on gas/food, you should set an additional dollar aside for dire situations.
6. Sharing is Caring
Selfishness will get you nowhere in the woods. Pool your resources together for a much more enjoyable experience. (i.e. rotating driving, who's buying the 30-rack, Laundromat runs, groceries, etc.)
7. Lock it Up
Crows and critters will steal your food if you leave it exposed. I would recommend storing food in some form of lockable dry storage, whether that be your car or sealable bins you need to keep it locked down. Same goes for your prized possessions. We had a couple pairs of ski pants stolen over the course of two days.
8. Buy in Bulk
Especially if you plan on an extended visit with multiple people. Everything is cheaper this way. You save gas on slimming down your number of excursions to Sandy to get groceries, utensils and extras.
9. Make Friends
There's a lot of people chasing the same dream as you this summer. Head down into Government Camp and walk around, absorb the culture and meet the many individuals that share the same ideals you do.
10. Variety is Key
And finally, you don't want to get stuck eating the same food day in and day out. So plan ahead and bring an assortment of goodies. A 48-pack of ramen and beer will give you a sodium overdose. Trust me on this one.
Thank you for reading and enjoy this summer while it lasts!
