Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kareena Kapoor are bringing their famed Bollywood style back to Madame Tussauds Washington, DC for a limited time only! Back by popular demand, fans of these Hindi cinema legends will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with all five performers in our Glamour Room!
Shah Rhuk Khan is often referred to in the media as "Badshah of Bollywood", "King Khan", "King of Romance", and the "King of Bollywood". Khan has acted in over 75 Hindi films in genres ranging from romantic dramas to action thrillers. His contributions to the film industry have garnered him numerous achievements, including fourteen Filmfare Awards from thirty nominations. His eight Filmfare Best Actor Award wins make him the most awarded Bollywood actor of all time in that category, tied only with Dilip Kumar. In 2005, the Government of India honored him with the Padma Shri for his contributions towards Indian cinema. Khan is considered to be one of the biggest film stars in cinematic history, with a fan following claimed to number in the billions; in 2011, the Los Angeles Times called him "the world's biggest movie star." In 2008, Newsweek named him one of the 50 most powerful people in the world.
Aishwarya Rai worked as a model before starting her acting career, and ultimately won the Miss World pageant in 1994. Rai has starred in films in various languages including Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali. Often cited by the media as the "most beautiful woman in the world", Rai made her acting debut in Iruvar (1997), and had her first commercial success in Jeans (1998). She found success in Bollywood Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999) and Devdas (2002) and eventually won two Filmfare Awards in the Best Actress category. Rai appeared in the blockbuster action thriller Dhoom 2 (2006) and subsequently featured in such films as Guru (2007), Jodhaa Akbar (2008), and Enthiran (2010), thus establishing herself as one of the leading contemporary actresses of Indian cinema. Her off-screen roles include duties as brand ambassador for various charity organizations and campaigns, and Rai was appointed goodwill ambassador for UNAIDS in 2012.
Hrithik Roshan made his film debut in a leading role in Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai in 2000. His performance in the film earned him Filmfare Awards for Best Actor and Best Male Debut. Roshan starred in the blockbusters Koi...Mil Gaya (2003) and its sequel Krrish (2006), both of which won him numerous Best Actor awards. Roshan received his third Filmfare Award for Best Actor in 2006 for his performance in the action film Dhoom 2, and his fourth for Jodhaa Akbar, for which he was also awarded at the Golden Minbar International Film Festival. These accomplishments have established him as one of the leading contemporary actors of Hindi cinema. He later received further acclaim for his work in Guzaarish (2010), Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011) and Agneepath (2012), his biggest commercial success so far. Roshan's life-size wax figure was unveiled at Madame Tussauds London on January 20th 2011, making him the fifth Indian actor to have been immortalized in wax in the museum.
Kareena Kapoor has been noted for her performances in a range of film genres, from contemporary romantic dramas to comedies, period films to major Bollywood productions and less-publicized independent films. Kapoor faced the media spotlight at a young age, but did not make her acting debut until the 2000 film Refugee. Her melodrama Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... became India's highest-grossing film in the overseas market in 2001, and is one of her greatest commercial successes to date. Influenced by her sister Karisma and Bollywood actresses Nargis and Meena Kumari, Kapoor's off-screen life is the subject of widespread media coverage in India. She is known for being publicly outspoken and assertive, and is recognized for her contributions to the film industry through her fashion style and her film roles (both of which have made her a trend-setter for young women). In addition to film acting, Kapoor is a stage performer and has launched her own clothing line.
Amitabh Bachchan first gained popularity in the early 1970s as the "angry young man" of Hindi cinema, and has since appeared in over 180 Indian films in a career spanning more than four decades. Bachchan has won numerous major awards in his career, including three National Film Awards as Best Actor, and fourteen Filmfare Awards. He is the most-nominated performer in any major acting category at Filmfare, with 37 nominations overall. Bachchan is regarded as one of the greatest and most influential actors in the history of Indian cinema. In addition to acting, Bachchan has worked as a playback singer, film producer and television presenter. He also had a stint in politics in the 1980s. He has received both the Padma Shri and the Padma Bhushan civilian awards from the Indian government.
Catch them all today at Madame Tussauds DC!

Initially I didn't understand what she meant, however, in due time, I did.

Source 1: Love What You Hate
One of the greatest challenges to change is the fact that the things that people should do are often tedious or uncomfortable. As a result, people resist engaging in these activities. If individuals can transform unpleasant activities into pleasurable ones, they can make significant progress toward their goals. The authors recommend five tactics for turning the future into a positive force for change.
1. Visit the default future. The default future showcases the life that a person will experience if behaviors are not changed. When individuals consider the worst case scenarios that could affect them, they are often motivated to change.
2. Tell the whole vivid story. When Changers encounter temptations, they are sure to tell themselves the whole story concerning the situation. As a part of identifying specific consequences of bad behaviors, it is important to use vibrant language, as well as specific and meaningful labels to fully remember the behaviors experienced.
3. Use "value words." Instead of focusing on the unpleasant aspects of new habits, it is better to focus on the values that those activities support. It can be very satisfying to know that new behaviors are closely linked to values.
4. Make it a game. A common technique used by successful Changers to increase their motivation is to turn chores into games. These games have three key elements: they have a limited duration, a small challenge, and a score.
5. Create a Personal Motivation Statement. When crucial moments arise, it is possible to rewire thoughts regarding how to respond by using a Personal Motivation Statement. The best statements include references to the default future, include vivid descriptions, and incorporate lots of value words.
Source 2: Do What You Cannot
When it comes to personal change programs, skills and knowledge are just as important as willpower. When people enhance their personal abilities, it enables them to do things that used to be difficult. As a result, change can occur faster. The authors suggest using three tactics to build skills that will support personal change initiatives:
1. Start with a skill scan. Before implementing a change plan, it is a good idea for people to scan whether they have the abilities necessary to achieve their goals. It may be hard for an individual to identify what skills they are lacking. As a result, it can be useful to seek help from others.
2. Employ deliberate practice. When people have debilitating fears related to new behaviors, it can be very difficult to change habits. However, using deliberate practice has been shown to help people learn new skills two to three times faster than other methods. A good first step is to practice for crucial moments by determining what skills will be necessary to survive these high stakes situations. Once the skills have been identified, people should break them into small pieces and practice each skill in short intervals. It can be beneficial to evaluate progress as well as prepare for setbacks.
3. Learn the will skill. Despite popular belief, willpower can be learned, and the best way to learn it is through deliberate practice. First, it is necessary to enumerate crucial moments from the least risky to the most risky. Begin deliberate practice by placing oneself in a tempting, but low-risk situation and then use a tool, such as distraction, to strengthen willpower. The authors recommend engaging in riskier situations only if a coach is available.
Sources 3 and 4: Turn Accomplices into Friends
People in positions of authority wield social pressure which can influence people in positive and negative ways. Negative influences can be very challenging when an individual is striving to change habits. However, it is possible to use social pressure as a positive force for making behavior changes. The authors outline five tactics that people can use to transform others into positive influences:
1. Know who is a friend and who is an accomplice. Friends support others as they strive to live better lives. Accomplices, in contrast, promote negative behaviors. It is important to keep in mind that peers define what appears to be "normal" and acceptable. In addition, peers also can lower a person's aspirations and hold a person accountable to bad behaviors. People who want to change must identify the accomplices in their life and either ask them to become friends or minimize interaction with them. People with six or more friends are almost 40 percent more likely to succeed than those with less than half a dozen friends.
2. Redefine normal. Since accomplices can affect what people believe is "normal," it is a good idea to rise above the shared sense of what is acceptable. People can do this by asking themselves how they want to live and feel, and who they want to be.
3. Hold a transformation conversation. An effective way to transform others into coaches and fans is to tell exactly what is needed to succeed. During a transformation conversation, a person explains to others how they unintentionally promote bad behaviors and asks for a healthier relationship.
4. Add new friends. One way to find new friends is to join associations and social networks comprised of like-minded people.
5. Create distance with the unwilling. If a peer is unwilling to become a friend, it is necessary to create distance with that individual. This can be painful, but the negative power of accomplices cannot be underestimated.
Source 5: Invert the Economy
Incentives often motivate behaviors, but unfortunately those behaviors are often the wrong ones. One effective way to change habits is to invert the economy and create penalties for engaging in unhealthy behaviors. The authors outline three tactics that can be used to motivate change:
1. Use carrots and the threat of losing carrots. Human nature motivates people to avoid loss. As a result, when individuals put something that they value at risk, they are more likely to change. For instance, after paying for a personal trainer, people are more likely to go to the gym because they do not like paying for services that go unused.
2. Use incentives in moderation and in combination. Big incentives can be counterproductive because they become a primary source of motivation. Small rewards, used in moderation and in combination with social and personal motivators, are usually most effective.
3. Reward small wins. A good practice is to break large, long-term goals into smaller, short-term ones. Small goals should be rewarded, rather than only recognizing the achievement of the ultimate goal. The greatest risk for a long-term change project is not failing at the end, but dropping out at the beginning. It is also important to reward actions, rather than results.
Source 6: Control Your Space
The physical world, such as the design of a home or an office, affects behavior in ways that are often hard to detect. In order to take control of behavior, it is also necessary to take control of space, and redesign it in ways that support new habits. The authors have identified five tactics people can use to reconfigure their environment:
1. Build fences. Creating boundaries can prevent a person from encountering tempting situations. When building fences, there are two rules of thumb to follow. First, the decision to fence off temptations should be made by the person who wants to change. Second, fences should not be used as a substitute for a plan that addresses the six sources of influence. People often rely on fences as their only defense. This can be problematic if individuals do not prepare for a world where those boundaries do not exist.
2. Manage distance. If it is possible to create distance between temptations, it is a good idea to do so. Researchers have found that moving a temptation even a few feet away can have a positive impact on behavior.
3. Change cues. Cues indicate what a person should think about and want. They transform wants into needs. It is possible to create cues that are consistent with the change a person wants to make. One of the best cues is a scorecard which charts a person's progress toward a goal. However, cues become an invisible part of the environment over time, so it is important to create new cues periodically.
4. Engage the autopilot. Humans have a default bias, which means once a behavior is established people prefer not to change it. To take advantage of this phenomenon, people should set up positive defaults. Once a person is on autopilot with positive behaviors, they are likely to continue.
5. Use tools. Tools like online counters and other tracking systems can help reinforce positive behaviors.

I made my annual pilgramage to Stitches on Friday. For those who don't know Stitches is a knitting convention - approximately 7000 people crowd into the Santa Clara Convention Center over three days to attend classes, buy yarn, and generally mingle with a crowd who ask what pattern your sweater is!
I went alone, but met many friends, and made some new friends. I just planned to look and shop (no lessons) but didn't have too much in mind to buy.
Here is my haul:
I bought some cashmere from Belisa Cashmere, along with a pattern, a couple of Blue Moon mill ends, some BLF fiber from Tactile Fiber Arts, and a couple of projects worth of yarn:
The '1970s appliance' green is a Fleece Artist Sea Vines kit - seawool and a pattern for a sleeveless vest, the brown yarn is from Sweet Grass Wool and is a largely untreated aran weight yarn. I bought enough for a sleeveless/short sleeved vest.
I had a lot of fun - but came home about 3pm exhausted. I cant think how people stay there all day, or all weekend!

Hearing Aid Batteries
Once you receive your hearing aids, the experts at Hearing Health Care take the time to personally demonstrate how your devices work, and most importantly, how to change the batteries. We're here to help you determine how many batteries to keep on hand and when to place a refill order. Most hearing aids come with disposable batteries, but rechargeable hearing aids are becoming popular as well.
Hearing aids with disposable batteries
Many styles of hearing aids take disposable batteries. It's easy to remember the size of your hearing aid batteries, just order by color! Yellow batteries are size 10, brown batteries are size 312, orange are size 13 and blue batteries are size 675. The larger the hearing aid battery, the longer it lasts. Disposable hearing aid batteries last from three to 15 days. Generally, the lifespan of the battery depends upon how many hours a day you use your hearing aids, whether you turn them off at night and if you open the battery door overnight.
These batteries come with a factory-sealed sticker on one side. Don't peel off the sticker until you're ready to use the battery because once that sticker is removed, the battery starts draining. These batteries are commonly made of zinc and need at least one minute to activate before being inserted into your hearing aid.
For the longest battery life, it's important to avoid moisture. That's why keeping your hearing aid battery door open overnight is important – it allows moisture to evaporate. Never store your hearing aid batteries in the refrigerator! It does not extend battery life and may reduce their effectiveness. When you carry your spare batteries with you, be sure to keep them in their original package or a battery case so they don't get lost or rub against coins or keys, which can cause damage. Also avoid storing your hearing aid batteries in extreme temperatures, such as a car's glove compartment, where they may be damaged or drained.
Changing batteries
You'll know it's time to change the batteries when you hear a tone, ding or buzz. It's important that you make sure you have clean hands before changing the batteries since grease or dirt can transfer to the batteries or hearing aids. It's best to change your batteries at a table or some other stable place, rather than risk dropping them. Never leave dead batteries in your hearing aids for an extended period. Just like all batteries, expired batteries may swell or leak and cause damage.
Rechargeable batteries
While hearing aids with rechargeable batteries permanently contained within the units are fairly new, rechargeable hearing aid batteries can be removed from the devices and placed in a charger. Both systems typically recharge batteries in three to four hours. These rechargeable batteries are made of silver zinc or lithium ion and with daily charging can last from one to three years.
Just like your cell phone, it's important not to "overcharge" your rechargeable batteries. As we mentioned earlier, it only takes about three or four hours to charge the batteries for a full day's operation. Be sure to remove them from the charger once they're back to full charge.
Today's hearing aids with rechargeable batteries and smaller and sleeker than their predecessors. For people with arthritis or other physical challenges, rechargeable batteries may make wearing hearing aids easier.
At Hearing Health Care, we're professional, experienced and dedicated to you. We take time to get to know you, determine your unique needs and find the best technology to match your lifestyle and your budget. Please see us at our Myrtle Beach or Conway locations today.

Professional photographer's Overview of Better Aerial Photography
The subject of aerial photography can cover many different types of work, including real estate photographs, government projects to record construction or environmental problems, paparazzi policy, court case signs, as well as overall artistic images taken from aloft. It may seem that airborne photography is very simple to set, which is taking a photo from the air. This is somewhat true; nevertheless, there are numerous categories of it it is very crucial that you understand. Additionally, there is an increasing number of photographic procedures which aren't obvious.
Main Branches
Oblique - Oblique aerial images are removed out of some type of aircraft, regardless of whether this is just a fixed wing aeroplane, a balloon, or even a helicopter. The topic is observed at a angle and thus the images are perceived by the human eye as having definition and thickness. This division is often applied for encouraging workand aerial building progress reports, archaeology, producing an outstanding photo for display, at the sale of home or industrial real property, or in legal disputes. To find out additional information about sweetlife photography, you must check out our website.
Vertical - This may be referred to as "overhead". Vertical aerial photographs are all obtained from directly overhead looking down vertically. Therefore, they produce a flat image like a map. These photographs are usually used for land use, mapping projects, flood risk assessment, farm investigation, and scientific studies.
Be aware though that both of these techniques were developed chiefly for military functions.
Today, plenty of alternative photography techniques are considering themselves as aerial photography if in fact they can be properly termed "elevated photography". These methods take advantage of different equipment in order to raise a camera above the ground in order to elevate position. A few of the methods used in order to raise the camera may include things like using telescopic rods or masts and a portable raised platform which the photographer will stand out.
The Uses Of Aerial Photography
Forestry - Pictures taken with color film and filters helps identify tree densities and varieties in remote forest areas.
Archaeological Exploration - They provide information on items unapparent to the floor observer.
Geology - Geologists can explore wide land areas from the atmosphere and use the obtained information to populate the outermost layer of the earth. The various locations for the best of way and earth excavation could be corrected for various highway engineering projects.
Meteorologists - A high altitudes, cameras installed on vehicles propelled by rockets can produce weather data.
Military - This was by far the best user of aerial photographs. The need for military intelligence and target data was in charge of advances in the strategies of the kind of photography.
Best time of day to shoot aerial photos:
As with most types of outdoor photography, the early morning and late afternoon timeframes will yield the many pleasing photographs. It's at this time the sun's rays produce warmer colors and more shadows that produce more brilliant colors and stunning shadows. The longer shadows associated with this period frame add thickness to your own photographs, by defining the contours of land or structures.
Thus, selecting an occasion of day is also determined by the sort of photography you are trying to catch. During the middle of the afternoon, the lighting is flat that will be suited to your precise desires, i.e., documenting a construction project, or commercial realestate. Understanding the goals of your own photographic assignment will greatly impact when you decide to charter a trip.
Aerial photography produces a perspective of the planet that hardly any will undergo. Whether you are taking aerial photographs as a career or like a hobbie, the joys of aerial photography will be innumerable!

Being a huge hack and slash fanatic, I was truly excited and filled with anticipation for the release of Diablo III. Back in 1997, I had my first play with the series when an old friend of mine lent me his disc and I installed the Diablo Spawned demo. Shortly after when I graduated highschool in 1998, I picked up my own copy and played it religiously. When 1999 came, I pre-ordered Diablo II Collector's Edition. Shortly after in 2000, I signed up for the Diablo II Stress Test. Luckily enough, I was chosen as one of the 100,000 players to test it out. Then finally in July of 2000, I picked up my copy of Diablo II and the rest was history.
Although Diablo and Diablo II have mutiplayer aspects, I really play them for the single player game. When I found out that Diablo III's single player game would require you to sign online at all times just to play it, I decided not to buy it. It just feels so anti-consumer to charge $60.00 for a disc and then require the customer to sign online for something they rightfully paid for when its a single player mode (of course online and mmos excluded from this).
As a result, I started looking back into my catalog of games to see if I could find some alternatives. I've also been trying out demos and searching the web for more Diablo Style games. Here are some awesome hack and slash games that do not require you to sign online to play in single player:
Darkstone (PC, PSOne) back in 1999, Delphine Software released this small gem. This hack and slash featured a full 3D engine with a user controlled 360 degree rotatable camera. It wasn't perfect but it was a fun dungeon crawl for its time. Last night, I found my old disc and ran a Google search on how to get it to run in Windows 7. Thankfully, I found this page:
Additionally, you can find Darkstone on sale at Good Old Games for the low price of $5.99. Its also DRM Free 🙂
Torchlight (PC, Xbox 360) What does the creator of the FATE series and the Codesigners of Diablo and Diablo II have in common? They both designed Torchlight, an excellent Diablo clone that features a whimsical art style combined with the frantic hack and slash game play we have all grown to love. To add authenticity to this spiritual successor of the Diablo Series, Matt Uelmen, The original music composer and sound designer for Diablo and Diablo II also worked on the soundtrack for Torchlight. Torchlight can be found at the link below. Also, if you purchase the Disc based version, its DRM free. The disc version can be found on Amazon:
Dungeon Seige III (PC, PS3, Xbox 360) If you are looking for a darker hack and slash, Dungeon Seige III should fit the bill nicely. Being the most recent release, Dungeon Seige III features an indepth story mode, challenging bosses and beautiful, gothic artwork. The best part is that Dungeon Seige III can be found on three different platforms:
NOX (PC) NOX is a classic Westwood Studios hack and slash That takes a young guy from modern day and throws him into a fantasy world. NOX may be a hack and slash but it has many unique elements that seperate it from Diablo. First off, character classes are truly limited to the weapons and techniques they can use which makes playing the game with each class a different experience. Second, NOX has a deathmatch mode that plays from an isometric perspective but its extremely fast paced and fun. Adopting this from First Person Shooters such as Unreal Tournament, its Deathmatch mode is so much fun, that it actualy makes some other RPGs PvP look simple and convoluted. Unfortunately, EA took down Westwood Studios NOX servers when they aquired them but the game can still played over a LAN for multiplayer. Currently, NOX can be purchased DRM Free from Good Old Games:
I know there are plenty of other cool hack and slash titles I did not mention mainly because this post was geared more towards PC games. However, feel free to share some of your favorites from any platform.

Travel to
, restricted for decades, may be getting a boost in the near future. The House Agriculture Committee voted on Wednesday to reverse a ban on Cuba U.S. citizens traveling to and to ease trade restrictions with the country. Cuba
The bill was approved 25 to 20 with solid support from Democrats, but only four Republicans supporting the bill.
The vote is the first step in the long journey toward Congressional approval, but supporters are optimistic that it will lead to an end of the decades-long ban on travel between the two countries.
The bill, called the Travel Restriction Reform and Export Enhancement Act, would also allow American goods to be sold directly toThough proponents of the bill are touting the positive economic effects of eased trade restriction, opponents are critical of the bill's provisions that open
, which would be a boon to American businesses and farming groups. Unsurprisingly, the bill is supported by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Farmers Union. Cuba
Proponents, however, counter that the financial gains for every day Cubans would be even greater than the benefits to the Cuban government. Revenues from the tourism industry would bring money to the impoverished populace and spread democracy, proponents say.
The bill still needs to travel the Foreign Affairs and Financial Services Committees before it reaches the House and then the Senate floor.
Wednesday's vote was one of several attempts in to ease travel restrictions toIn April of last year, however, the Obama administration was successful in passing a bill that allowed Cuban-Americans to visit family in
in the last decade. During the Bush administration, bills in both the House and the Senate attempted to ease travel bans, but were threatened by presidential veto. Cuba

Lihou Island Beach (Saint Peter)

Lihou does not have any sandy beaches but it does the provide the opportunity to enjoy a pleasant walk across the winding cobbled causeway from the L'Eree headland in order to spend a couple of hours away from Guernsey before the tide floods back in. Lihou is not accessible at every low tide and therefore the information board should be checked at the slipway.
There is a private house (rentable) on Lihou but toilet facilities are not available publicly. The nearest toilets are located at L'Eree bay car park. Parking for Lihou island can be found near the German MP3 observation tower.

DALLAS-- It's been nearly two years since the deadly shooting in Downtown Dallas that claimed the lives of five officers.
Though the streets of downtown are free and clear today, all of the precious gifts that once flooded the area. Now, those items have a new home in the Dallas Public Library.
"I think the importance of this collection is that it documents the grief and the outpouring of emotion that took place after the shooting on July 7. So, it represents many different viewpoints," Brian Collins with DPL History and Archives Division said.
Hundreds of gifts were sent from near and far.
"In one case, we had, I believe it was Hot Springs, Arkansas, the police department left an actual bench here and they all signed it," Collins said.
There were so many that the library is refreshing its display with new items. Though we may never see every single item left behind, the library hopes to make sure we can see as much of it as possible in the future.
"The idea is that we'll be able to digitize most of this; at least a representative sample so that the public can see all the different types of things that were left at the memorial site," Collins said.
Technology can be bittersweet at times, but this is one example of how it helps us keep memories alive!

Being the one black sheep in the family who struck out on their own to explore faith, rather than regurgitate the family belief system, is a tough road to walk – especially when the rest of the family has gotten rather obsessive over the recruitment aspect of greater Christianity.
Some times I just want to smack the lot of 'em.
I do not share out my own belief system, because I simply do not believe that faith is supposed to be shouted from the rooftops. Faith should be the most personal of things, the truths you carry in your heart. You've never walked another's path, lived another's emotions, or felt the stirrings of another's heart – so how could you possibly share the exact same truisms?
The only way another could fully understand my faith is to have lived my life…every last second of it – and imagine what my brain and the influence my life to this point would have me believe all the future seconds hold.
My faith is the always-updating culmination of my life experiences…it shapes itself with every breath and with every heartbeat.
Got ya confused yet? Yea…me too. But not everything has to make sense, because the human brain isn't designed to understand every significant aspect of this rock we call home.
That's one of the core truisms I believe…not everything is going to make sense.
My family (like most families in the US) is Christian. They read scripture, cite Bible passages, go to church, praise Jesus, believe in Heaven, lament Hell, and raise good, God-fearing children.
Once again, I prove to be the exception here…
For a long time, my options when faced with the family faith were simple: either get extremely quiet when such faith-based exhibitions were active (preferred), or leave the room (frowns). Attend the church services when a family gathering coincided with one (preferred), or pretend to be too tired to go (frowns).
And, above all…DON'T QUESTION THE FAITH!
I ceased to pay this grossly unauthentic 'lip service' to the family faith around 7 years ago…
And the family…
Was not amused.
I've paid the blood price for that coming out in more ways than I can detail…from emails filled with passages from the Bible, links to 'important' Christian websites and Jesus-Memes, to Facebook postings, to gifts with religious iconography branded into them.
I believe my Dad, however, is amping things up.
For the past 2 years, he's been dropping little hints and requesting a little slice of my time to speak of matters regarding faith, which is odd, as in my growing years, he didn't seem to be that interested in the church.
The strange thing is, every time he does a little reach out in the faith department, he's hesitant, unsure, a bit awkward in the approaches, which is NOT the father I knew growing up. At the family gathering this summer, he performed his latest approach.
It was weird. Every alarm in my head went off. The lines of his body language screamed misery. Torment trod across his face. His eyes were heavy with moisture. His voice quavered with each syllable. Every visual cue in the unspoken language of his body was screaming at me: "This is wrong, this is wrong, this is WRONG!"
What. The. Actual. Fuck?
My dad is one of the most rock solid, dependable, and mindful individuals it has EVER been my luck to interact with. His mind is knife-sharp, analytically keen, and once in possession of all the facts, unfazed by any manipulation attempts. He constantly analyzes everything – even his own failings – and does the right thing even when it runs contrary to his desires.
He voluntarily gave up his light-aircraft licence even though he LOVED flying, because he determined his eyesight and reflexes were no longer up to his own, high safety standards.
So to have him approach me in this manner – where he's borderline terrified of the conversation he has in mind??
What. The. Actual. Fuck?
The conversation will be one of 2 things. Either he's gotten a holy person so concerned about 'the little lost lamb (that would be me) needing to be rescued,' that he's being pushed to perform this little 'intervention,' or he's honestly in research mode, and wants to know more about what drives me.
Queue up the title of this post…
It's not the 2nd. That's my wishful thinking again…
I don't think anyone in the family reads my blog except my eldest son and DIL. The rest of 'em may see the photo that loads into Facebook (occasionally commenting on that), and the blurb that posts along with it, but I don't believe they ever click through to WordPress to read the actual content.
In fact, I know they don't – no heads have exploded yet…
I've had quite a few conversations with myself as I pound the pavement to and from work. I've never quite worked out the entire dialog, as I manage to get either irritated or depressed (sometimes both at the same time!) whenever I drag this subject out of the recesses of my mind and attempt, once again, to resolve it internally.
I've also torn apart this particular blog post more times than I can count in search of that same resolution.
I guess I'm down to my favorite quotes, after all.
(1) – I'm not lost – I'm just on a different road.
(2) – If the core of your being says something is wrong – you should pay attention.
(3) – The only one wasting his time is the guy at the bottom of the mountain, screaming at the climbers for taking the scenic route.
So Dad – if you DO actually read this poor scribbling – I'm not a little lost lamb, and I don't need to be returned to the safety of the paddock…I'm a full grown ram, and I'm off doing Ram-Things.
(Insert Supernatural Being of your Choice)'s got my back.

Ghanaian actor, Yaw Adu has questioned why actresses always refuse to kiss him even when Directors tell them to do so in movies.
He revealed in a recent interview that when he had the opportunity
to kiss an actress in a movie, she turned him down when the scene got to that part.
"The only actress I have kissed wasn't a star but I later had
an opportunity to kiss Vivian Jill in a movie,
which she needed a child and I had to sleep with her for her to conceive but she later turned me down and dodged me when I tried kissing her.
"I did not ask her why she dodged me because I didn't believe in myself either.
"Perhaps they think since I have big eyes, I might knock them with it which scares them away," he said.

Steak Tips are an east coast staple, especially during the humid summer months. It's a quick, cheap dinner but one that I always crave when the weather warms up. Some of my favorite memories are going camping as a kid and having steak tips for dinner after spending the day exploring or swimming at the beach. Now that I live in San Francisco I developed a version of my favorite recipe that can be made in the oven and still come out amazing. Here is my recipe for Marinated Steak Tips.
What are steaks tips?
Steak tips are usually a collection of smaller tendons cut into cubes. The tastiest of these muscle groups is the flap steak, which can also be bought whole. Steak tips are usually a cheap cut of beef because it comes from parts of the cow that are normally not sold individually. That being said, these cuts are some of the most delicious.
How to cook steak tips
My favorite way to cook steak tips is on the grill. Since these are smaller cuts, they cook quickly and the added char from the grill adds a lot of flavor. However if you're like me and have no room for a grill or if you want to make these in winter, I cook the meat in a cast iron skillet then finish it under the broiler to still get that slight char on the outside. Either method will produce a delicious result.
What to eat with steak tips
My favorite thing to eat with steak tips is white rice with a bit of butter. It's so simple, but so good. Onions, peppers and other grilled vegetables are also a great pairing and can often be cooked at the same time as the steak tips. Steak tips will pair well with most starchy or green vegetables, however I'd avoid pairing it with anything you wouldn't normally eat with beef.
Why do you marinate steak tips
Marinating steak tips will not only give them a more robust flavor, but it will often tenderize the meat as well. Since this is a smaller cut of meat, it has a higher chance of drying out if it's not marinated. You don't have to marinate this cut for a long time however. Since it's a smaller cut, it will absorb the marinade pretty quickly. I usually marinate steak tips for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hrs.
Like this recipe? Remember to save it for later and pin it to your favorite boards. Have a question? Make sure to ask me in the comment section below!
Marinated Steak Tips
Marinated Steak Tips are a classic east coast dish that make a cheap cut of meat incredibly delicious and worth making.
- 2 Pounds Steak Tips
- 1/2 Cup Olive Oil
- 4 Cloves Garlic Minced
- 1 Tbsp Sea Salt
- 1 Tbsp Cracked Black Pepper
Combine all ingredients into a large resealable ziploc bag. Shake to evenly coat. Store in refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
Preheat broiler on high.
Heat a cast iron skillet on medium-high heat. Remove meat from ziploc bag and place in skillet, discard leftover marinade.
Cook meat for 5 minutes or until seared on all sides. Then take skillet and put in oven under the broiler. Cook for several minutes or until edges of the meat begin to char.
Remove carefully from oven and serve with rice and vegetables. Enjoy!

Descriptions: Ciro & Callista0
August 12, 2016 by Lyn
Ciro, Midnight Dawn
formerly cy'Fridmar
First Cohort, graduated
Ciro, it has been posited, turned more than a little evil because, when one spends most of one's life looking like an unhappy rooster, one can either kick ass or give in to being a laughingstock.
He's not all that rooster-like with his Mask up, luckily: he's a lanky, somewhat scarecrow of a man with drab brown hair that is generally allowed to grow shaggy and unkempt in between haircuts. His eyes are brown, as well, his chin and nose both pointed, his smile thin and nervous; he tends to slouch in on himself, as if trying to make himself smaller. He generally has a fluorescent tan, his pallor the result of spending most of his time indoors.
He wears button-down shirts that fit loosely, khakis or dress pants that, likewise, are not fitted to his lanky frame, and shoes designed to hide the Change "deformity" of his feet. After Amanada resigned herself to Belonging to him – so, for the second half of Year Two and all of Years Three and Four – the clothes are still loose, but tailored now, so they look less as if they're hanging off a scarecrow and more successfully camouflage his skinniness.
With his Mask down, he looks so very birdlike, so very much like a wet rooster. His nose points further, until it's very nearly a beak. His hair isn't really hair anymore; it's closer to feathers, which shade from very dark red on the lowest layer to bright yellow on the top; when he shakes his head, it looks like fire dancing.
His hands are deformed into chicken-claws, the knuckles knobby, the fingers ending in thick, slate-grey claws instead of fingernails. His toes and feet are similarly deformed, though no-one but Amanada and Dr. Caitrin could attest to that one. His bones are, while not as fragile as a true bird's, lighter-weight and less durable than a human's.
On the other hand, when he lights on fire, he is majestic and beautiful. He's startlingly quick on his feet, and fire just doesn't hurt him, although it hurts everyone around him pretty handily. Being a phoenix is almost payoff for spending most of his time as a sad rooster.
Callista cy'Pelletier oro'Ib
Third Cohort
It's not really possible, at the beginning of Year Five, to sort out Callista's original personality from the person Ib has made her. There are flashes, here and there, when she's most in her element – the times he allows her with Ioanna, when she's tending bar – of the person she will be when she's free, dryly cynical and ruthless when she needs to be, but with affection and sympathy for her friends and others in a bad place – but most of who she is, at the current point of the story, is Ib's creation. It's easier on her that way.
Even her body is, to some extent, his creation: when she came to school, she was a dark-haired girl with wide eyes, an easy, generous smile, a rich tan and an athletic build. She liked to play beach volleyball and field hockey.
Now, two years later, she's skinny to the point of emaciation, her hair dyed magenta (or sometimes turquoise or lime green). Much of the strength has left her limbs, three pregnancies right on top of each other coupled with barely-adequate food leaving her knobby, with deep shadows under her haunted eyes. Her skin is pale, almost unnaturally porcelain-white.
Whatever she'd wear if given the choice, what she tends to wear are little scraps of halter tops with low-cut tight pants or equally tight skirts; she rarely wears shoes but when she does they're heeled sandals. Masked or un-Masked, every wrist and ankle and her neck are encircled in steel bands, each one with an O-ring dangling from it.
Her Change adds four arms below her extant two, and a series of muscles along her back to support and move them. Her torso grew about six inches along the rib cage, with an additional three pair of ribs; her legs grew, as well, to balance her out. The bottom four arms aren't as strong as the top two, but all four are amazingly dexterous. Her speed and ability are amazing, and she can multitask in ways that seem nearly impossible.
The limbs do make an amazing spider impression when she crawls, too.

If you haven't seen this yet, then you may well have been hiding under a rock or in a cave for the last few days. Sport kings adidas have launched one of their biggest and most expensive advertising campaigns ever. Featuring the likes of Katy Perry, David Beckham, Lionel Messi, BoB and Derrick Rose amongst others.
There are a total of 3 adverts produced, 30 and 60 second versions for Television and Cinema, as well as a 2 minute extended edition for the internet. The promotion has already been pushed out to over 10 million of us that our connected with adidas through the likes of twitter and facebook.
The soundtrack is provided by Justice and the track is "Civilization" and given the huge push behind the campaign, it is no doubt going to become the soundtrack to the summer.

Sizing is important & tricky in a way. Website says to measure your chest size with clothes you intend to wear - but of course, you don't always wear the same clothes (eg. summer vs winter). I have chosen a M/L pack & it is kinda borderline for me in terms of fit when I strip down to just a running t-shirt & compression gear underneath (I'm 96cm chest size with just a tee on) - with my chest size, it should rightfully be a straightforward decision of choosing the M/L following the website's instructions.
As it is now, when I wear the UD with min top on, the UD's upper strap is over my chest & pulled to near maximum; while the lower strap is just over the bottom of my rib cage & pulled to around half way. I wear it like this not only becoz it fits best this way but also to have the UD bottles closer together & nearer to my body central core (minimize bounce & sway etc). When I have my jacket on - esp the thicker ones - the fit becomes better. Here are some pics:
|UD PB with tee & compression.. the upper chest strap is yanked to max.
|UD PB worn with jacket.. fits better.
UD Bottles
The bottles are 591ml bottles each. Quality makes. The "kicker-valves" snaps up/down & it is great if you use electrolyte tabs that's effervescent with water - because you can pop the tabs in as you run, leave the valve snapped up to allow the released air to escape (instead of building up pressure). The valves won't leak either so no worries there. Drinking - you do have to semi-squeeze & semi-suck on the valve in order to drink.
One of my bottles was not as well made & leaked whenever I squeezed it slightly (without biting the valve). Had to resort to plumbing teflon tape to solve the issue, so bit of my useful tip for you in case you're unlucky:
Hydration Bladder
OK.. it is to my greatest horror that UD is now offering this pack WITH a 70oz reservoir.. (I have just checked their website) HORROR HORROR HORROR. I clearly bought mine earlier & it came without.. WTF. I'll share some pics here anyway on how the bladder/reservoir would fit:
|Green circles - hydration tube exits the main compartment via the side &
loops down & can be held in place via these little elastic loops.
Other Bits
The elastic cord that holds the bottles in place - there are two:
Who is Peter Bakwin?

South Korea captured the gold medal in women's archery team competition at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics on Sunday, staying undefeated in the event that became a medal sport in 1988.
The trio of Chang Hye-jin, Choi Mi-sun and Ki Bo-bae beat the Russian team of Tuiana Dashidorzhieva, Inna Stepanova and Ksenia Perova in the final by the set score of 5-1 (59-49, 55-51, 51-51) at Sambodromo.
The Olympic archery team events are contested in sets, with six arrows per team in each set. Winning a set is worth two points, and a draw is good for one point. The first team to reach five points wins.
This was South Korea's second straight archery gold medal in Rio, after the men's team won gold on Saturday. The country is now halfway through an unprecedented sweep in the sport it has long dominated.
South Korea took the first set handily, 59-49. With her third arrow, Perova hit a disastrous 6, while the last three South Korean arrows all hit 10s.
In the second set, Chang and Ki each scored four 10s, while Russia could only manage one 10 to hand the set to South Korea 55-51.
There was an anticlimactic finish to the match, as the South Koreans had to wait for the judges to determine whether Perova's first arrow in the set had hit an 8 or a 9.
If it was ruled a 9, then Russia would have taken the set 52-51 and extended the match. However, it was scored as an 8, meaning the set was tied at 51-51 and South Korea earned the final set point needed to clinch the gold medal.
The final shooters for each team made the difference. Ki, who won both the individual and team gold at the 2012 Olympics, scored four 10s. Perova began her final with a 6 and ended it with a 7, without scoring a single 10.
South Korea has won 21 gold medals in archery, more than any other nation, with the men's and the women's individual events remaining here.
Only two other countries have put together a string of at least eight consecutive gold medals: the United States in the men's 4x100m medley relay, and Kenya in the men's 3000m steeplechase.
Ki, the only returnee from the 2012 Olympic gold medal-winning team, now has three gold medals. With an individual title later in Rio, Ki will equal the women's record held by the South Korean legend Kim Soo-nyung. (Yonhap)

Changing attitudes and perceptions of artists towards the New Zealand mountain landscape. (1995)

AuthorsAskew, Katrina Janeshow all
The purpose of this study is to explore the changing attitudes and perceptions of artists and settlers towards the New Zealand mountain landscape from the period of colonisation to 1950. When European colonists first anived in New Zealand, they brought with them old world values that shaped their attitudes to nature and thus the mountains of this country. Tracing the development of mountain topophilia in landscape painting, highlighted that the perceptions settlers adopted on arrival differed greatly from those of their homeland. In effect, the love of European mountain scenery was not transposed onto their new environment. It was not until the 1880s that a more sympathetic outlook towards mountains developed. This led to the greater depiction of mountains and their eventual adoption into New Zealanders identification with the land. An analysis of paintings housed in the Art Galleries of the South Island provided evidence that this eventually led to the development of a collective consciousness as to the ideal mountain landscape.

"Due to
Here, we show you a small selection of the pictures of the exhibition that prove that there are a lot of similarities between Switzerland and Georgia. The photos as well as the additional explanation have been kindly placed at the disposal by the Swiss embassy.

Switzerland and Georgia are strategically located countries whose territories served as important transport and transit routes in the past millennia – up to these days. Beautiful stone bridges dating from ancient times illustrate their long-standing role in international transport.

The 'Glacier Express' testifies to the genius of Swiss railway engineering. Passing through 91 tunnels and over 291 bridges, it takes travelers across the Alps, connecting major tourist resorts. In 2016, Swiss double-decker trains were introduced in Georgia. Connecting Tbilisi with Batumi and other Black Sea resorts, they have proved to be very popular.

Each Swiss canton and Georgian region cultivates its distinct traditions, customs and festivities. A famous yearly horse show in Saignelégier aims at the promotion of a native horse breed, the Franches-Montagnes. Tushetoba is a summer festival that celebrates local cultural heritage and is traditionally opened with a vigorously contested horse racing.

Alpine ibex (Capra ibex) and Caucasian ibex (Capra caucasica) are mountain icons in Switzerland and Georgia. Inhabiting steep, rough terrain, both species are excellent climbers.

Wrestling in Switzerland and Georgia originated as one of the oldest forms of combat and gradually grew into national sports. Early depictions in the cathedral of Lausanne (13th century) and in Georgia's Alaverdi Cathedral (11th century) are indicative of the tradition of wrestling as a part of festival culture.

604 active hydroelectric plants in Switzerland produce clean, renewable energy. But dams in Switzerland provide more than energy. Often located in breath-taking places, they attract the attention of tourists as well as film directors. James Bond, in "Golden Eye", made a 220-meter free fall from the Verzasca Dam. The Enguri Dam, being 271.5 meters in height and the second highest concrete arch dam in the world, is one of the monumental constructions from the Soviet area. Located on the main road to the World Cultural Heritage villages of Zemo (Upper) Svaneti, the dam and the reservoir will soon be transformed into a tourist zone.

Santa Cruzball is a provinceball of Argentinaball. It lives in the southern part of Argentinaball and borders Chileball. He is Argentinaball's son, but Chileball always tries to kidnap him. Sometimes even Argentine Antarcticaball has to intervene. He is the birthplace and resting place of former president, Néstor Kirchner.
He is hated by his provinceball brothers, especially the ones living in Northern parts of Argentinaball due to the whiteness of his snowy, tundra landscape. He has a hotel called "Alto Calafate".
It was revealed that his capital Río Gallegosball (birthplace and resting place of Néstor) and La Plataball (capital of Buenos Aires Provinceball and birthplace of CFK) were the founders of Argentinaball's worst nightmare (AKA Kirchnerreich).
Santa Cruzball was born as a 7ball, later adopted by Spanish Empireball and Argentinaball.
How to draw
Drawing Santa Cruzball isn't very simple:
- Color the basic circle shape of this blue
- Add some blue waves (with a white border) nearly the bottom
- Draw some mountains on a rising sun
- Draw the eyes and you've finished.

Report Showcases VAEEG Success
In the March 2019 issue of "Seizure: European Journal of Epilepsy," an exciting new report led by the UH Neurological Institute's Dr. Tanvir Syed included a retrospective analysis of a massive database consisting of nearly 10,000 reports of ambulatory video-EEG monitoring (aVEM) on studies from 28 different states across the U.S., all performed by Alliance Family of Companies, LLC.
The number of patients included in this study, entitled "Outcome of ambulatory video-EEG monitoring in a ˜10,000 patient nationwide cohort," is approximately 20 times larger than any study previously performed, establishing a clear role for aVEM in the physician's diagnostic armamentarium.
The primary outcome measure examined by the researchers was whether at least one push button event was captured during the aVEM recording, or if clear epileptiform activity was recorded. A similar analysis was performed on a group of patients who had undergone in-patient video EEG studies at a National Association of Epilepsy Centers Level IV epilepsy center.
The result: more than 62% of the patients studied with aVEM achieved the primary outcome, a number comparable to that from the inpatient studies. 1

Credit Memo Instructions
Vendors issue credit memos for returned goods as well as pricing discrepancies. If a credit memo is anticipated, for overpayments, exchanges, etc., the department should hold the original or final invoice until it receives the corresponding credit memo. The credit memo and the invoice should be approved and submitted to Accounts Payable for payment. In the event an invoice is processed prior to receipt of the corresponding credit memo, the department can approve the credit, referencing the original campus reference # and account distribution, and submit to Accounts Payable for processing. Future invoice payments from any department will offset credit memos. If the corresponding invoice has been paid, and the department does not anticipate doing additional business with this vendor, the department is responsible for requesting a refund check in lieu of a credit.
Refund Check Instructions
When a department receives a refund check, the campus reference # and account number must be referenced on the check stub and submitted to Accounts Payable.
Accounts Payable will apply the refund to the appropriate account and deposit it with the Bursar's Office. For state projects, if the refund applies to a current year payment, use the current year account number. If the refund applies to a prior year payment, the surplus account will be credited.

Oscars introduce an 'Outstanding Achievement in Popular Film' category
After receiving its lowest viewership this year, the Academy is trying to turn around its game to get back to its prestigious position by being a little less prestigious.
The Academy Awards on Wednesday announced a number of changes, including introducing a new category that will be allotted for "outstanding achievement in popular film." While details on the eligibility criteria are yet to be announced, it is the first time that the Oscars have introduced a new category since its best-animated film category in 2001.
The category will make its debut at the next Academy Awards ceremony, reports said.
The Academy has also revealed that the telecast will be kept under three hours, and awards for some of the 24 categories will be announced during the commercial breaks and will be later edited into the show. This year's ceremony, which saw 'The Shape of Water' take away the winning award, ran just under four hours.
In a letter sent to its members, John Bailey, the president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and Dawn Hudson, the Academy CEO, mentioned, "We are committed to producing an entertaining show in three hours, delivering a more accessible Oscars for our viewers worldwide...present[ing] select categories live, in the Dolby Theatre, during commercial breaks (categories to be determined)."
Change is coming to the #Oscars. Here's what you need to know:— The Academy (@TheAcademy) August 8, 2018
- A new category is being designed around achievement in popular film.
- We've set an earlier airdate for 2020: mark your calendars for February 9.
- We're planning a more globally accessible, three-hour telecast. pic.twitter.com/oKTwjV1Qv9
The Guardian reports that the move is being seen as a way for the Oscars to reach out to a wider audience, given that this year's Oscars saw the lowest viewership in its history. In 2009, the best picture nomination had included up to 10 nominees in order to bring in bigger blockbusters in its fold, marking the Oscar nominations for movies like 'Avatar', 'Inception', 'The Martian', 'Gravity', and 'Toy Story 3'. Probably including the popular movies would mean that some of the DC and Marvel blockbusters might get an entry to the Oscars, like 'Black Panther' which was a massive box office hit this year.
Hollywood Reporter mentions that this format is quite similar to the one being utilized at the Tony Awards in order to recognize some of its lower-profile categories, in which the award giving ceremony and acceptance speeches are recorded in a pre-telecast portion of the ceremony instead of in the commercial breaks. This change certainly indicates that the Academy is in some dire need of a larger viewership, and it can now probably go to any extent for it. The Academy also notified its members about the change in dates of the 2020 Oscars which will now take place on February 9 as opposed to the previously announced date of February 23.

In case you've been living under a rock somewhere, a month or so ago several million Facebook accounts were hacked. OK, when I say 'several million' I'm not really painting an accurate picture of what happened. The 'several million' is really more like 50 million (Facebook later lowered it to 29 million). Yeah, that's a lot of accounts and they still aren't sure how the hackers did it.
Fortunately, there's a super easy way to find out if your Facebook account has been affected and that's what we're going to cover today. I'm going to show you how to find out – in just a few seconds – if your Facebook account has been compromised. Are you ready? Let's get started.
How to find out if your Facebook account has been hacked

Let's be honest: Sometimes you just want to eat chocolate. And there are many different types of chocolate you can go for. Will it be a single piece of chocolate candy? Or maybe you like to go with something a little colder and grab a chocolate ice cream.
There are literally hundreds of chocolate options available to you. But if you're looking for a truly decadent option, let me recommend these turtle brownies. They're fudgy, oozing with caramel, and have the perfect crunch from the pecans inside and on top.
Fair warning: You may go into a sugar coma after one of these bad boys.
Servings: Makes a 9×13 pan's worth
2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
2 cups granulated sugar
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼-½ teaspoon cinnamon
1¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1¼ cups pecans, roughly chopped
¾ cup caramel (store bought is fine)
Chocolate frosting:
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup + 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ cups powdered sugar
2-3 tablespoons milk
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.Lightly spray a 9×13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- To make the brownies: Add butter, sugar, and cocoa powder to a stand (or hand-held) mixer, and beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Add eggs to the batter one at a time, beating after each addition until just incorporated. Beat in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Then beat the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Add one cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips and ¾ cup chopped pecans to the batter and stir until just combined. Pour batter evenly into the pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes. Let the pan cool for 5 minutes, and then poke holes all over with a skewer. Pour ½ cup of the caramel over the baked brownies and spread it into holes with a spatula. Refrigerate the brownies for about one hour or freeze for about 30 minutes to let the caramel set.
- Meanwhile, prepare the chocolate frosting: Beat the butter, cocoa, corn syrup, and vanilla in small bowl until blended. Add the powdered sugar and two tablespoons of milk. Beat until smooth, adding additional milk if needed to reach spreading consistency.
- Once the caramel has set, frost the brownies with the chocolate frosting. Sprinkle evenly with ½ cup of the chopped pecans and ¼ cup of the chocolate chips. Drizzle with ¼ cup of the caramel.
- You can serve immediately, or refrigerate to allow the frosting to set so that the brownies are easier to cut.

ANDRITZ Hydro in Switzerland, Vevey
ANDRITZ Hydro is one of the leading global suppliers of electromechanical equipment and services for hydropower plants. ANDRITZ Hydro has been operating in the hydraulic power generation sector for more than 170 years.
ANDRITZ Hydro Vevey's business activities are mainly directed towards the rehabilitation of existing turbines on the international market.Special application pumps and turbo generators are further fields of activity.
ANDRITZ Hydro is part of the global ANDRITZ group. HYDRO is a global supplier of electromechanical systems and services ("from water-to-wire") for hydropower plants and one of the leaders in the world market for hydraulic power generation. Furthermore, the company has a leading position in the growing modernization, refurbishment, and upgrade market for existing hydropower plants.
After 30 to 50 years of operation, the mechanical equipment in many hydroelectric power plants requires complete or partial replacement of the technical installations. The integration of new components into an existing system with the objective of enhancing previous operating conditions, particularly related to vibration, oscillation and cavitation, demands high-level technology.
A team of more than 120 people ensures the operational management of the projects (sales, project management, engineering, automation, erection) conducted by ANDRITZ Hydro Vevey. Parallel to this work, a group of engineers is in charge of the research and development activities as well as the hydraulic design of turbines as tested in the hydraulic laboratory. These engineers also work for the entire ANDRITZ Hydro business area.
The development of hydraulic machines has centered round experimental research based on laboratory tests on small-scale models for several decades. The results lead to the equipping of new hydroelectric power plants or rehabilitating old equipment, with an increase in performance as top priority.
The turbine construction business has had a long tradition in Vevey. Indeed, the Ateliers Mécaniques de Construction de Vevey, predecessor of ANDRITZ HYDRO SA, had it head office on the banks of the Veveyse back in the 19th century, where it developed and produced hydraulic turbines.
Throughout its history, ANDRITZ HYDRO SA and its predecessors, such as Charmilles Hydro and Hydro Vevey, were among the pioneers in the construction of hydraulic machines. The company invented new types of turbines, such as staflos and isogyres, which were patented in many countries, and has always been dedicated to a better use of water, increased equipment reliability, and cost reduction.
