Here you will find the latest global service updates and a list of upcoming worldwide public holidays. This is updated throughout the week with latest information available.
Service Updates
GENERAL: Although Operation Stack had started to clear (as previously advised) and delays to the continent were reducing, new protests and unrest on the French side of the border has caused delays to both Channel Tunnel and ferry bound freight traffic. Operation stack is now fully back in place with queues currently at 6+ hours for the Channel Tunnel and approximately 5 hours for ferry bound freight traffic (as of 17:00 UK time – 23/07/15). At present only 3 of the 4 berths are available at Calais and road blockages on the French access roads to the Channel Tunnel are causing these delays amongst other issues. Additionally, roads towards and around the ports on both sides of the Channel are heavily congested and this is causing further delays. Ongoing (issue start date: 23/06/15 – updated 23/07/15)
Australia – Australia Post have informed by the Australia Border Force (Customs) that industrial action by their staff will be taking place at their inbound centres on Monday, 3 August, during the peak processing times for inbound mail. Therefore, Australia Post expects disruption to the handling of all inbound mail that day as effecting mail processing the following day due to expected backlogs from the day before.
UPDATE: Australia Post have informed us that the industrial action by customs officials has ended with minimal impact upon mail processing times. Resolved (issue start date: 03/08/15 – updated 06/08/15)
Australia – Heavy snowfall snowfall in New South Wales has resulted in the closure of motorways and other roads, making the delivery of mail difficult or not possible. Delays are to be expected. Resolved (issue start date: 16/07/15)
China – High volumes of mail arriving in Shanghai and Guangzhou are resulting in backlogs and capacity issues for China Post. Delays to mail services are likely. Ongoing (issue start date: 03/11/14)
France – Delays are expected in Pontchateau (44160) and Courchevel 1850 (73120) due to industrial action. Ongoing (issue start date: 20/07/15)
France – We have been informed by La Poste that between 20th and 22nd July, road blocks in the CAEN region in France were erected by demonstrating farmers.. La Poste has stated that delays of upto 2 days occurred in the delivery and collection of mail/parcels during this time in the following post code areas: 14xxx, 50xxx and 61xxx. Additionally a small backlog of mail meant subsequent delays until normal service resumed on 25th July. Resolved (issue start date: 20/07/15)
Germany – Deutsche Post have advised that they will not be delivering letters on Mondays for the next 5 weeks. Please expect delays in mail traffic during this time. Newspapers and other magazines however will be delivered as normal. Ongoing (issue start date: 13/08/15)
Greece – Hellenic Post (Greek Post Office) have advised that on Wednesday 5th August there was a 4 hour stoppage by air controllers. Hellenic Post have advised that although the impact was minimal, some services were delayed. Resolved (issue start date: 05/08/14)
Libya – All mail services to Libya are currently suspended. Ongoing (issue start date: 16/07/14)
Morocco – We have been informed that between July 7th and July 30th some airlines have not been able to handle commercial cargo between destined for Morocco. The issue has now been resolved but delays to mail sent between these dates should be expected. Ongoing (issue start date: 07/07/15)
Nepal – An earthquake, approximately 50 miles north west of Kathmandu, has caused severe damage in northern Nepal. Severe disruption to mail services nationwide is to be expected.
UPDATE: All mail services in Nepal have been officially suspended and Kathmandu Airport is now closed to all commercial cargo due to the humanitarian relief effort in the region. Ongoing (issue start date: 27/04/15 – updated 30/04/15)
Netherlands – Post NL has informed us that union workers have been taking strike action in localised areas since Tuesday 14th July. Information on the regions/areas affected isn't currently available. In large parts of the country, mail is expected to be delivered as normal but in the areas where the strike action is taking place, deliveries are expected to be slower than usual.
UPDATE: Strike action taken by the union workers in Post NL, Netherlands has ended. Delivery services in the affected areas have returned to normal and Post NL are working through the backlogs caused by the strike action. Mail services are expected to be back to normal from Monday 27 July. Resolved (issue start date: 14/07/15 – updated 27/07/15)
Somalia – All mail services to Libya are currently suspended. Ongoing (issue start date: 30/11/91)
Spain – The Spanish post office (Correos ES) has reported that trade unions have called for a partial strike in Correos' Madrid facilities (Madrid 28000 – 28999) for Thursday 30th April. This includes Madrid OE, sorting centre (Madrid CTA), delivery units and postal offices and is scheduled to run for 4 hours. As consequence all inbound and outbound processes could be severely affected during this time, not only services from/to Madrid area, and could cause serious delays and backlog during 1st May (national holiday), 2nd May (regional holiday in Madrid) and 3rd May.
UPDATE: Further strike action has taken place intermittently throughout May. Although the last strike was on the 15th May and the subsequent backlog cleared, there is a possibility of further strike action. We will advise accordingly as and when any action is announced. Ongoing (issue start date: 30/04/15 – updated 26/05/15)

Turf grasses react best with enough regular irrigation during the summer to keep them green and healthy.
Turf grasses do much better under semi-dry conditions than wet or drenched conditions. Turf grass latency is a survival mechanism allowing survival up to 5-8 weeks without irrigation/precipitation free from serious thinning upon recovery from dormancy. This would be under ideal conditions of no traffic, good soil, moderate temperatures, no shade, minimum thatch, etc. Survival is affected by species, age, shade, maintenance (low mowing and/or scalping, too much nitrogen fertilizer in spring, not enough in fall), traffic, heat, etc.; so optimum survival may not occur on your particular area.
Effects from vehicles or foot traffic can cause injury to turfgrass in two ways. The first site of injury is grass shoot tissue, where physical damage to leaf blades is obvious. This injury results in death of the leaves and a reduction in photosynthetic capacity.
The second site of damage from traffic is the root system. Damage to the root system results from soil compaction due to weight of the traffic. Root growth and vigor is greatly reduced, resulting in less room for roots to seek out water or nutrients. Rates of recovery of the grass vary based on: a) the capacity of the grass to tolerate traffic injury; b) growth rate of the turf, which will determine how long it will take the grass to grow out of the injury; and c) degree of severity of the injury.
In addition, there are specific management and maintenance practices that will improve the wear tolerance of your turfgrass.

Oh my. My 5 year old SON would have a fieldday playing with them. My daughter, unlike myself, is currently not fond of being outdoors due to the bugs (she's 3)...and they look old enough to clean it up themselves. That could've been part 2 of the fun, spraying the shed and each other.

USC receiver Joseph Lewis was arrested Monday on suspicion of corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant. Lewis was arrested at 2 p.m. by the Los Angeles Police Southwest Division.
Lewis, 18, was being held in lieu of $50,000 bail at the 77th Street station jail.
"USC takes all reports of domestic abuse seriously and is cooperating fully with the law enforcement investigation," school spokesman Tim Tessalone said in a statement. "While this student code of conduct issue is being investigated, the student has been suspended from all football-related activities. Student disciplinary records and student conduct proceedings are confidential at USC and protected by law."
Last year as a freshman, Lewis played in 11 games, mostly on special teams. The former five-star recruit had four catches for 39 yards to go along with two tackles. Lewis starred locally at Los

- Role: Heavy Cruiser [1]
- Origin: Centauri Republic
- Status: in service as of 2281 [2]
- Primary User: Centauri starfleet
- Number Built: >9 [3]
Physical Characteristics
- L x W x H: about a mile in length [4]
Standard Defences
- Heavy Particle-Pulse Cannon x 8 [5]
- Particle-Pulse Cannon x 6 [6]
- Mass Driver x 1 (Optional) [7]
- FTL via hyperspace jump engines
Embarked Craft
- Sentri-class Fighters [8] [9]
- Aerospace Shuttles
Known Named Ships
- Valerius.
Production Background
- The Primus was designed by John Teska. [10]
- Arguably a "battleship" class but also arguably not.
- Sleeping in Light.
- Four mass driver-equipped Primuses were directly seen bombarding Narn. I would argue that the reflection of the two Primuses in Londo Mollari's window could only come from two additional Primuses, for a total of six that assaulted Narn. Two Primuses were destroyed in separate battles with Narn cruisers in And Now For a Word and in The Fall of Night. Also, at least one unarmed, VIP-transport variant of the Primus-class was seen during the series.
- Conjecture, but this would be consistent with the other flagship classes of the "Younger Races."
- The Fall of Night. Note, the weapons sfx for these turrets are the same as for the slightly smaller, more forward turrets.
- And Now For a Word and in The Fall of Night. And Now For a Word also shows anti-ship pulse weapons being fired from the bottom of a Primus' hanger bay.
- In the Long Twilight Struggle.
- Seems probable, considering the Primus' large hanger bay doors and since all the capital ships of the major B5 powers carried fightercraft… with the exception of the Vorlons.
- The Official Guide to Babylon 5 CD-ROM from 1997 has been disregarded, here, there, and everywhere.
- B5 Scrolls.

Brent Weinbach, is one of the funniest, most original comedians performing today, and one of my oldest friends in comedy. Also, we got into a fist fight many years ago, which I mentioned in LKP Ep 18 with Al Madrigal.
Brent felt that I misrepresented him when I told that story the first time, so we sat down and set the record straight. And also we talked about other stuff. It's a good episode. Listen to it.
For my final episode out of New Orleans, I sat down with my old friend Cheryl who's from LA but has been living down here in the Big Easy for the last several years.
She's really cool. It's a good one. Trust me.
I sat down and drank some big ol' daquiris with three hilarious local New Orleans comics, Lane Lonion, Julie Mitchell and Molly Ruben-Long.
We talked about hemorrhoids and Mardi Gras.

SURVICE's recent and notable projects.
SURVICE is developing LaserFX, a set of tools used by the Air Force Research Laboratory Directed Energy Directorate (AFRL/RDLE) for the assessment of vulnerability to laser effects. LaserFX employs fast ray-tracing techniques, advanced physically based models for laser-material interaction, Monte-Carlo analysis, and interactive graphics to create one of the most advanced laser assessment tools in the world today.
Advanced Ship Survivability Program (ASAP)
SURVICE provides weapon effects engineering and computer program development support for the Advanced Survivability Assessment Program (ASAP). Specifically, SURVICE supports the extension and modification of the ASAP, including development of and modifications to the target description files structure; as well as development of weapons effects algorithms and application modules to integrate into the ASAP. Most recently, ASAP has been used by the Naval Surface Warfare Center-Carderock Division (NSWC-CD) in performing vulnerability assessments for the Zumwalt Class destroyer, the Navy's next-generation guided-missile destroyer.
MRAP Cougar CAT I A1 Engine
SURVICE Metrology performed this data collection using our SURVICE Reverse Engineering System (SRE) to develop a detailed Pro-Engineer engine model. The existing MRAP CAT I A1 geometry model required a detailed component level engine model to support various applications. The detailed engine can be used for space claim, blast analysis, vulnerability analysis, and other FEA applications.
CH-53K Vulnerability Analysis
This SURVICE project focused on the Vulnerability reduction of the CH-53K based on analysis of its structure, gearboxes, armor, fuel system, drive shafts, pitch rods, fire protection, hydraulic system, MR and TR servo actuators, and system separation and redundancy. This Vulnerability Analysis was completed using geometry conversion techniques, traditional data sets and discrete mission points.
ARL WMRD Underbody Blast Work
SURVICE provides Modeling and Simulation (M&S), and Live Fire Vulnerability Testing (LFVT) support to the warfighter, increasing combat and tactical vehicle crew survivability with quantified knowledge of threat capabilities, and drastically reducing design cycle for retrofit, block modification and future vehicle improvised explosive device (IED) and mine protection. SURVICE constructs full-vehicle system Finite Element Models (FEMs) integrating vendor Computer Aided Design (CAD) data, field measurements, Hybrid III Dummy (H3D) occupant models and restraints, and accelerometers in support of the various customers/programs.

I realize it may have been a bit long since my last post........... Mmmmmk, frickin forever!
Busy working and raising a family, what can I say?!?
Any how, almost finished up with season 2 of Graceland (which I've been on since February) and getting ready to shoot "Ivy League Farmer" in South Carolina. A million other projects too, life is good!
I just got a link to the trailer for a movie I did the end of last year with Jason Patrick, John Cusack and Bruce Willis. Totally kick ass action flick. I basically spent 30 days having full loads of 9mm, 223, 45 and 12 gauge shot point blank right at my face while running all over the place hand held and with steadicam. Nothing but a good time!
Here's the trailer and here's to posting a bit more frequently!

McCulloch Corporation was a manufacturer and distributor of branded chainsaws and other garden power equipment. Following its fifth leveraged buyout in a twenty year period, the company was overleveraged and could not service its debt obligations. The equity sponsor had just injected $10 million in fresh capital, but due to inaccurate internal reporting, the funds were absorbed into the business without any material improvement in operating runway. The senior secured lenders were putting significant pressure on the company, management was in disarray, vendor and customer relationships were strained and the equity sponsor was essentially ready to walk away from its investment. We were retained to provide interim executive management services and quickly develop and implement a plan to maximize recoveries. Shortly after our arrival, and in an attempt to force the equity sponsor to infuse additional capital, the senior secured lenders arbitrarily cut off funding, leaving McCulloch with no ability to meet payroll.
All US based employees were immediately furloughed. We convinced the lenders that recoveries would be maximized through a going concern reorganization and sale process and funding was resumed. However, during the brief period of shutdown, vendor and customer relationships were damaged beyond repair and three creditors joined together to file an involuntary bankruptcy petition against McCulloch. We converted the case to a Chapter 11 bankruptcy and executed an orderly liquidation of the business. We positioned one of our principals in the company's European headquarters to stabilize the profitable European operation, set up a stalking horse bidder for the European business as a going concern and executed a very successful §363 sale. The buyer did not acquire the company's German operation so we took over as general manager of the entity and liquidated it in an orderly fashion. As part of the liquidation of the US operation, we were able to execute a sale of the US branding rights to a licensing company.
A disorderly liquidation was averted, and a highly successful orderly liquidation process was completed. The senior secured lenders were paid in full, and a substantial recovery was delivered to the equity sponsor.

It is some interesting points you have. I believe the learning from could apply in most test conditions.
Out of college 2 years and 4 Go Lives, I started my career as a SAP Consultant which involved testing of Business processes as well.
So much for a career and so many stark realizations led me to write this blog thinking my learnings might be of some use to someone else.
As of a Business Process Tester I realized it's an entirely different world here or so to say when compared to the live business. Testers and Users are probably people from different galaxies.
Somewhere in the race between beating the tight Deadlines and confirming to the high quality of deliverables many a times as a tester I missed the fact, the critical fact, that ultimately it's a system that someone at a plant, at a shop or at a counter is going to use. The enormity of business and its manifestation in SAP frequently leads testers to become SAP testers rather than Business Process Testers.
The big realization comes on the D Day (for me at least it came) the Go Live when users start asking innocent BUSINESS questions!!! Ohh yes they are innocent users using our SAP systems, as innocent as we are while using an Online fund Transfer system or a Flight Booking System.
While testing SAP I got so obsessed with SAP (I love SAP so much that If I was SAP I would have been Narcissistic) I started validating if the business process is mapped correctly to SAP in terms that SAP does not throw an error Thanks to the established process which we follow in my company I was forced to test everything
But is that all to testing…
The answer is a categorical NO; in fact it's just the beginning of it.
There are a multitude of things business would do apart from standard Business Process.
The standard business process might be a simple sale of a product to a customer but users will find it difficult to use the system initially as its quite common to digress from the standard process leading them to hit the panic button and of course the wrong Buttons at SAP and the way these instructions are understood by SAP might be entirely different from what the user probably actually meant to do.
It is responsibility of the testers to make sure they mess the system more than users and make it behave the way it should. Of course then there comes a trade off between cost of creating a Robust system and Training the Users but let us not get into that for the time being.
There are a few things every tester must keep in mind while testing which will help them remain focused on the business than the business facilitator:
BUSINESS vs SAP
1) Always talk with real life examples The Company I was supporting, we tested all of their business using Vehicles (SAP Terminology), Trucks Rail (Business Terminology) Customers Materials and whatever else the Business might need. A user may not be comfortable with the term Vehicle and discussing him using the term Vehicle can lead to confusion.
Key Learning: Make it a habit to refer to entities by their business names rather than SAP names this takes you closer to business and helps you relate better with the users.
2) As a tester we tend to treat plant 0001 (people who work with SD might appreciate this) as a number in system which is something important. Never ever forget that the Plant 0001 you are using in SAP is much more than a number in fact most of the times it's a multi Million/Billion dollar entity which has its own identity. The simple 0001 which was not assigned a distribution chain is more than critical Configuration error it means you cannot sell from that plant which means huge loss every day, every hour, may be every minute, for business.
Going back to my example of Flight Booking system as users we understand Flight number imagine somebody saying we don't have 0001 assigned to CT01 which might actually mean Lufthansa Counter1 is not supposed to do business with CiTi Bank branch 01.
Similarly there is much better one can connect when they start realizing that a material 1234567 is more Petrol than a number and similarly a customer 1234567 is Mr ABC or Corp XYZ. Unless one starts thinking of these numbers as real time entities than numbers its quite difficult and hence unlikely that you can suggest some business improvements which is one of the Primary Role of Consultants and Goal of Businesses.
But in real life working sitting in an office sooner or later we start losing the connect with the Ground realities and user expectations
Key Learning: Always try to relate from business perspective as to what a Business process would look like or would be meant to do you will test it much better much more robust.
3) Apart from above one must also understand the business soundly, as users will have basic questions, you may end up handling a query saying my so and so output is not getting printed and you should be up on your feet but it is then that we realize that oh my the output ABC1 is Export License and the truck can't move unless it gets printed.
Key Learning: Always try to understand why you are testing what you are testing the purpose of testing is not to pass the test but to make sure it works right.
4) Know your Design: Test however well you might there is nothing like a 0 error system I would love to excuse aviation though. Users may say SAP is suggesting so much quantity but it is not practically feasible it might be an error it might be business ignorance. As a tester you must know the system in and out to be able to sure what you have tested is working right.
Key Learning: Know your design
5) Always give security its due respect. When you are in a development server you have access to the whole world but that is not quite so in real life you cannot approve your own design. Always make sure you test with the right authorities so that right people have got right authorities lest a truck driver chooses which deliveries he carries.
Key Learning: Roles are important part of testing not only to comply standards but to ensure a smooth running business
6) Always try to know the people who are going to use the system you are testing what exactly is it that they do and it is then that it will be easy as a tester to test the process exactly (how many times while using a website you thought why don't they understand what we need)
Key Learning: Know your users
It does not get over once you finish testing and it goes live the post live support especially for first couple of month is critical it is when they will face the maximum problems and would need the maximum support. While you are you helping users resolve their issues it is as important to win a user's trust as it is to solve the problem
How to handle users efficiently
You may get calls from users who are really stressed/angry/furious/verge of crying
Here are a couple of tips about how to handle them efficiently:
1. Greet him/her say how are you this morning. It cools them down believe me it really works
2. Listen to them patiently they are the customers it is for them that we manufacture/Support the software and always remember they are calling us because they have a problem
3. Assure them that its just a issue and it will be resolved sooner than later
4. You are doing your best with the best intent to get his problem solved
5. Simple but significant: Keep them updated with the developments
Always remember SAP is just a facilitator to run business smoothly which is always paramount.
As a SAP consultant whatever you do always think how it is going to affect business and what can you do ease the user's life when he is using SAP.

Heal Your Life
There are many massage therapy options available to clients of Therapeutic Massage and Nutritional
Center in Wichita, KS. Our services are custom tailored to the individual, to help you get lasting relief from chronic pain!
Most human activities are done in front of the body. This causes the muscles, tendons and ligaments of the anterior body to be in a shortened state, which causes imbalances throughout the body. Spasms begin to pull the body forward stretching the posterior muscles of the shoulders, neck and back. Not only do normal daily activities become difficult, but if left untreated, the potential increases for other issues to arise throughout the body.
What to Expect:
Evaluation is the foundation for massage therapy techniques. Through evaluation we are able to identify the source or root cause of the pain or condition that is being treated. We believe that proper evaluation in conjunction with strategic therapy creates greater potential for correction instead of simply treating symptoms for short term relief.
The postural evaluation process looks at the alignment of the head with the rest of the body. Ideally the alignment should provide a straight line from the ear down through the shoulder, hip, knee and ankle. If the ear is forward of the shoulder by even 3/4 of an inch, the spinal column endures 35 pounds of load. It is this load that causes strain on the muscles of the head, neck, shoulders and upper back. If the ear is 1 1/2 inches or more forward of the shoulder there is an astonishing 100 pounds of load put on your spinal column, causing strain on the entire spine.
Massage therapy can provide tremendous relief for those suffering from headaches, neck and shoulder stiffness,
hip, leg and back pain, posture problems, sports injuries, pregnancy
discomfort, and/or body imbalances. Call today to schedule your appointment!
Swedish Massage Relaxation techniques combining long strokes and lengthening stretches relax the muscles, calm the emotions, and recharge the immune system. Swedish massage promotes stress reduction and improves circulation, energizing the synchronized balance of the mind, body and spirit.
Postural Restoration Therapy
An integrative treatment approach that raises postural awareness and treats postural adaptations and imbalances reflecting asymmetrical patterns using in office massage therapy and at home muscle stretching in an effort to reach optimal alignment and functionality in addition to restoring plumb line posture.
Functional Integrative Balancing Functional Integrated Balancing is a system of focused muscle release incorporating specific breathing techniques which release muscle spasm, increase oxygenation and blood flow to brain, limbs and internal organs. By integrating both sides of the body and the brain there is improved body function reducing symptoms, but more importantly restoring optimal health (mentally, physically and spiritually).
NeuroMuscular Therapy NeuroMuscular Therapy (NMT) is a specialized therapy combining deep tissue massage techniques and body movement to bring balance between the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. NMT promotes recovery from acute structural and chronic pain issues, thereby improving joint and muscle movement. This focused approach to healing may require client involvement, such as home stretching.
Deep Tissue Massage Deep tissue is a similar technique to NMT, but a more focused form of bodywork. Deep slow, compressive strokes release taut or knotted muscles, healing from the nerve-muscle connection, including tendons, and ligaments. This promotes the resolution of long-standing injuries that have caused limitations physically and emotionally.
Therapeutic Exercises This medical massage therapy enhances fitness and well being. By addressing specific pain or dysfunction, this technique facilitates the rebuilding phase of conditioning which leads to faster healing of injuries by increasing range of motion and restoring normal movement function.
MyoKinesthetic System The MyoKinesthetic System re-educates the muscles on a neurological level to accelerate the healing process by alleviating pain, increasing function/movement and balancing posture. This technique is effective against acute injuries. Sessions are usually 15 to 30 minutes.
Myofascial ReleaseThis soft tissue therapy incorporates gentle sustained pressure and positioning, allowing for increased freedom of movement. It brings balance and relaxation to the entire body. Benefits increase when combined with other massage techniques.
Pregnancy Massage Massage during pregnancy can improve circulation, alleviate muscle aches and fatigue and promote relaxation during constant trimester changes. Essential oils are used to increase oxygenation and induce a positive emotional presence required for a healthy delivery. Please consult your Doctor first!
Infant Massage
Parents are taught to massage their babies with the kind of touch that promotes bonding and attachment between them, which is key to the infant's physical and emotional development.
"Eleanor's personality is extremely positive in her work with patients. She is compassionate and has basic medical knowledge to understand some of the problems that patients were referred to her for…Our small community of Sutton greatly benefited by having Eleanor as part of our group."

There's no denying that the Christmas season is one of the best – if not the best – time of the year. Christmas carols, The Nutcracker, decorating the tree. Something about this season just feels magical. Although my Santa days are sadly long gone, these traditions help bring back those feelings of excitement and anticipation that seemed to last an eternity as a kid. Just because I'm at the age where Santacon is more appropriate than sitting on Santa's lap at the mall, doesn't mean I can't still indulge myself in other kid-friendly Christmas activities.
Now in its second year, my friends' gingerbread house making/Love Actually viewing party was even better than the first: more friends, more food, and even some blood! (Wouldn't be a gingerbread house party without someone cutting themselves opening a tube of frosting, right Steph?) As fun as gingerbread decorating is, it can also be a little frustrating. The walls fall down, gumdrops slide off the roof, and Frosty just refuses to stand upright! Thankfully we had some delicious mulled wine and treats to take the edge off. In addition to some deliciously festive eggnog cheesecake bites and super decadent chocolate chip loaf with caramel drizzle, I contributed something a bit more savory: stuffed mushrooms. For some unexplainable reason, I had a strong urge to make stuffed mushrooms. They've never been a tradition at my family Christmases (Ga-ga actually has a very strong aversion to mushrooms), but something about them just seems fun and festive to me – maybe because they're like little presents filled with yummy surprises? Anyways, it was a wonderful little fete filled with wine and Colin Firth-ogling. You can never be too old for Christmas; you just find ways to make your favorite traditions as a kid a little more grown up.
Stuffed Mushrooms (adapted from Smitten Kitchen)
Makes about 24 with leftover stuffing which I used as a pasta sauce and with stuffed chicken – see pictures below!
8 bacon slices
1 cup chopped onion (about 1 small-medium onion)
1 10-oz package frozen, chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
4 oz cream cheese at room temperature
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
Salt and pepper
3 packages white button mushrooms, stems removed
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cook bacon in a large skillet until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Coarsely chop bacon. Reserve bacon fat in the pan.
2. Heat 2 tsp reserved bacon fat in skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and saute until tender. Transfer to medium bowl and cool. Mix in bacon, spinach, feta, cream cheese and crushed red pepper. Season filling to taste with salt and pepper.
3. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Toss mushrooms with remaining bacon fat in a large bowl to coat. Sprinkle mushrooms with salt and pepper. Place mushrooms, rounded side down, in single layer on the baking sheet. Bake mushrooms until centers fill with liquid, about 25 minutes. Turn mushrooms over. Bake mushrooms until liquid evaporates, about 20 minutes more.
4. Spoon 1 heaping tsp filling into each mushroom cavity. Bake mushrooms at 375 degrees until heated through, about 10 minutes. Serve warm.
|Leftover stuffed mushroom filling makes a great creamy pasta sauce!
|Or a savory filling for stuffed chicken breasts!

For the next week I plan to write down and report to you at the end of each day everything that I have eaten that day. I do this for three reasons: (1) because I want to see it in writing for myself, (2) by publishing it here I hope to shame myself into eating less, and (3) because my millions of fans want to know!
I will report everything. I won't break it down by times or meals, but it will be in chronological order. I am not, strictly speaking, on a diet, although I am trying to be more careful about what I take in. I am very loosely following the Montignac method, meaning I try to separate fats from carbohydrates (i.e., don't eat both at the same meal), and I avoid processed sugar and white flour. (A note to those avoiding white flour: most "multigrain" breads you see on the market are full of white flour.) Most of what I eat is home-made. Also, my morning coffee has half 2% milk and half cream, but no sugar. (Shaddap, I like it that way.)
I'll be blogging about other things too, but at the end of each day there will always be a food count. Starting today.
Wednesday's Yummies
• Oatmeal with apples and cinnamon
• 1 large coffee
• 1 low-fat lemon-multigrain muffin
• 1 breaded & baked chicken breast with steamed broccoli
• 1 apple
• 1 banana
• Simple salad of greens and grated carrots with a whisper of white wine vinegrette
• Gluten-free corn flour penne pasta with roasted tomato sauce
• 1 glass of red wine

Dear Parents, We are approaching the time of year when we have more chances for school delays or cancellations due to weather conditions.
Information about weather is gathered from many sources, including The National Weather Service, the news media and by actual inspection of roads throughout the district. Weather conditions in surrounding districts are also gathered and are factored into our decisions.
Weather conditions or continuing impact from severe weather or other events such as a widespread power outage, may cause a delayed opening, early closing or cancellation for the day. The most severe conditions within the district are used as the basis for the decision-making criteria.
No one can make a delay or cancellation decision that will accommodate the road or air (fog) or schedule or travel or work situations related to the lives of all of our students and their families. I sometimes receive calls from concerned parents on days they feel we should have cancelled. Therefore, PARENTS remain the final decision-makers regarding travel safety for their individual students. Additionally, our large buses with skilled professional drivers are very safe and I would encourage our student drivers to park their cars and ride the bus on questionable days.
School Closing or Delayed Opening
For early morning decisions, parents and employees will be notified through our automated calling system. The decision will also be forwarded to the news media.
Early Dismissal
Parents will be notified through our automated calling system. The decision will also be forwarded to the new media.
Please ensure that you have made arrangements with and for your students for these fluctuations in school schedules that can occur during our winter months.

95 1st Ave
New York, NY 10003
Craving seafood on a Friday night, per usual, I scoured the Internet for good options near home. Upstate popped up a number of times as a low key beer and oysters kind of shack. They are known for simplicity and freshness. Sounded good to me. I hear that normally there is always a wait on weekend nights but we managed to arrive right when a table of two was leaving – score! We ordered 10 oysters ($2.50-$2.75 each), two of each: Sheepscot River (ME), Fanny Bay (BC), Kumamoto (CA), Hammersley (Puget Sound), and Skookum (WA). Notice how we only ordered one East Coast type… both LAW and I prefer creamy sweet oysters to briney ones. Kumamoto oysters won by far, as expected!
If you know me at all, you'll know that I love scallops and will typically always order the scallop dish if there is one. Well, since I started buying scallops on my own, I've stopped this nonsense because scallops are so darn expensive and petty at restaurants. Case in point. The scallop special ($18) included four very fresh steamed (I think?) scallops over a bed of summer slaw (zucchini and cucumbers), drizzled with olive oil and vinegar. It was suuuuuuper simple and very healthy tasting. I quite liked it and thought that the fresh, sweet scallops went very well with the veggies. LAW thought it all tasted just a bit too healthy and was not quite filling enough. I'll have to agree with the not-quite-filling enough part… four scallops with zero grease equates to an appetizer portion in my mind. I could definitely have two portions of these, easily!
LAW had the Soft Shell Crab special ($21 I believe… can't remember). The dish was well-seasoned (though I wish I had more of the ketchup chili sauce on the side) and the crabs tasted fresh. Again, the portion was a bit too small for an entree. The crabs topped a bed of corn and tomatoes, which freshened up the deep fried crab. Both of our entrees lacked the carbs that we typically need in our meals so we were left a bit… empty.
The serve a complimentary whiskey cake to every table at the end of each meal (yay carbs!). The whiskey cake was deeeeeeelicious. It was drenched in a whiskey syrup and was so very moist. Some parts of the cake were actually so drenched in whiskey that I had to take it a like a shot. It was a very nice sweet end to a fresh, albeit small, seafood dinner.
Would I come back? Hmmm… maybe only for oysters and whiskey cake. Although the seafood was very fresh, the portions are way too tiny to fill me up. Their prices weren't extraordinarily low so I know can find equally fresh seafood elsewhere. Though, on a second thought, if you are not as much of a hefty eater or just want a bite with some great beer (I had the blueberry ale), definitely check this place out. The scallop dish I had was phenomenal. Or just come over and I'll make some for you…

How to Replace Chop Saw Blades
Chop saws are the quickest, most efficient, and safest way to cut strong ferrous and non-ferrous materials and fresh, quality chop saw blades are vital to proper metal working. Cutting coarse materials puts a great strain on power tools. Most chop saws use abrasive wheels 16 inches in diameter made of aluminum oxide reinforced with fiberglass resin-bonded cloth. Wheels will be 3/32, 6/74, or 1/8 inch in thickness. The arbor for most saws is 1 inch. Chop saws have a pivoting arm on which the wheel turns in the 4,000-rpm range. Vendors use several processes for changing worn wheels.
Step 1 – Insuring Safe Removal
Before beginning any service to the chop saw, unplug the tool from the power source. This will insure that the saw cannot be powered on accidentally. Lock the tool arm securely into place to prevent possible injury while changing the wheel. Most brands of chop saw use a hex wrench or socket for changing wheels. An 8-mm socket will fit the shaft of the Makita and some other companies. Most chop saws have a wrench storage slot on the base of the tool. Dewalt has developed a Quick Change blade clamp for some of its chop saws allowing the user to change blades without extra tools.
Step 2 – Removing the Blade
Loosen and raise the safety guard on the wheel to allow full access to the spindle. Press the spindle lock lever or shaft lock on the inside of the arm to hold the wheel secure. Using the hex wrench or socket, turn the blade screw counter clockwise to loosen the bolt from the spindle. Remove the bolt, washer, outer flange, and the worn wheel. Avoid touching the rough abrasive edges to prevent injury.
Step 3 – Replacing the Wheel
Clean any grit or debris from the inner flange, spindle, washer, outer flange, and hex bolt. Check the new abrasive wheel for any defects. Insure that the wheel is rated at 4100 rpm or higher. Place the new wheel on the spindle and replace the outer flange, washer, and hex nut in the reverse order as they were removed. Tighten the hex bolt securely with the wrench or socket. Return the safety guard to its proper position and tighten the corresponding bolt. Unlock the tool arm so it is free for use.
Step 4 – Checking the Replacement
Release the spindle lock lever or shaft lock so the wheel can spin freely. Inspect the edges and check the spindle to see that the arbor is properly aligned. Plug in the chop saw and power it up. Insure that the blade spins normally. The tool is ready for use.
Extra Tip
Power tool vendors offer a variety of choices in chop saws. Among the companies offering quality tools are Craftsman, Dewalt, Makita, Bosch, Hitachi, Ridgid, Black & Decker, Northern Industrial Tools and Ryobi. You can buy them in sizes ranging from 12 inches to 16 inches, but the most common machines use 14-inch chop saw blades.
