I am in heaven. These baked maple butter donuts are so good. I mean, so good! I made these donuts by accident. Initially, I had planned to make glazed donuts. But, because of the fact these donuts came out with a different texture, I had to brain storm something creative to do with them. I'm a huge fan of maple syrup, so I thought of Trader Joe's Maple Butter and how I'm mad I've never bought it before. So, for this recipe I made my own maple butter by mixing some Earth Balance Vegan Butter with maple syrup. I'm obsessed with these baked maple butter donuts.
My best recipes always comes from experimenting. A long time ago, I made some blueberry muffins with a donut textured base. So, I used that recipe as a guide for creating this one. These baked maple butter donuts are made with whole wheat flour. When I was under the impression I was going to be making glazed donuts, I decided I wanted them to be golden brown; which is why I used whole wheat flour.
Another thing that's important to mention, be careful what flour you choose to use to make donuts. The texture of the donuts will not be the same each time. I can only imagine oat flour based donuts giving a crumbly texture. Furthermore, if you're afraid to take a risk with making baked donuts, just stick to all purpose flour.
For my Christmas recipes this year, I wanted to go all out and be different. Instead of giving away 100 sugar cookie recipes (don't worry I will be giving some away), I wanted to switch it up and do a variety of desserts. I haven't felt like making too many savory dishes this holiday season.
How to make baked maple butter donuts:
To make these baked maple butter donuts, you will need whole wheat flour, vegan egg replacer, oat milk, ground flax, cane sugar, coconut oil, and baking soda. That simple. If you don't buy or can't find Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer, you can use eggs in this recipe. Lastly, I want to let you know that you should use one egg – if you're going to be using eggs.
Next, to make your maple butter it's very simple. You need to use cold butter and combine it with maple syrup and vanilla extract. You use cold butter instead of melted butter for this baked maple butter donuts recipe because you need the butter to keep it's creaminess. Some additional ingredients you can add to the maple butter are cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, almond extract, chopped pecans, or pistachios.
How to make candied pecans:
First, add some water and coconut oil to a sauce pan. Second, add some coconut sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to the pan. Third, allow the mixture to simmer and begin to caramelize. Fourth, add 1 tbsp of cornstarch to allow the mixture to thicken. Fifth and last, add your pecans and allow the mixture to simmer on low heat for 5 minutes. The mixture should completely cover and stick to the pecans!
Guide to making donuts without frying them:
First off, if you want to make donuts without frying them, then you probably should invest in a donut pan. I bought a donut pan because I try not to fry too often. Don't get me wrong, I love to fry foods, but fried foods aren't too good for you! I love my donut pan. The brand I use for my donuts are Wilton. Wilton's products haven't done me wrong yet. I've yet to have any issues with their products. No, this isn't sponsored!
Can you make donuts without yeast?
Yes, you can make donuts without yeast. Although, the taste and texture is not the same; you're still getting donuts! If you want to use yeast, then you can still keep the measurements for this recipe, I'd just add water or heat the milk!
In conclusion, keep in mind that you must store these in the refrigerator. These baked maple butter donuts are stored in the refrigerator because of the butter. While you can eat these baked maple butter donuts cold, I think they taste better warm. Heat these baked maple butter donuts up in the microwave for 30 seconds. No longer than 30 seconds!

TheSouthwest Indian Ridge (SWIR) is characterized by an ultraslow spreading rate, thincrust, and extensive outcrops of serpentinizedperidotite. Here we present a 3-D wide-angle seismic experiment carried out in 2010using forty OBSs at the SWIR segments that hoststhe active Dragon Flag hydrothermal vent(37°47'S, 49°39'E) and a volcano area. The main results are asfollows:
(1) Along the ridge axis(segment 27-28) oceanic layer 2 is of roughly constant thickness and steep velocity gradient, underlainby a layer 3 with variable thickness and low velocity gradient. The crustal thickness varies from5 km beneath nontransform discontinuities (NTDs) up to -10 km beneath the volcanic center; themelt supply is focused in segment centers despite a small NTD between adjacent segments.
(2) Near Dragon Flag hydrothermal vent the crustal thickness, defined as the depth to the 7 km/s isovelocity contour, decreases systematically from the center segmentof 28toward its2 ends and dominantly controlled by thicknesschanges in the lower crustal layer. We interpret this variation as due to focusing of the magmatic activityat the segment center. The across-axis velocity model documents a strong asymmetrical structureinvolving oceanic detachment faulting. A locally corrugated oceanic core complex (Dragon Flag OCC)on the southern ridge flank is characterized by high shallow crustal velocities and a strong verticalvelocity gradient. We infer that this OCC may be predominantly made of gabbros and suggest thatdetachment faulting is a prominent process of slow spreading oceanic crust accretion even inmagmatically robust ridge sections.
(3) Our results reveal a low velocity anomaly (-0.6 km/s) in the lower crust beneath the central volcano(segment 27), suggesting the presence of partial melt, which is accompanied by an unusually thick crust(10.2km). We conclude that the extremely magmatic accretion is due to localized melt flow towards the segment 27 center, which was enhanced by the significant along-axis variation in lithosphere thickness at the ultraslow spreading Southwest Indian Ridge.

During the summer following his 19th birthday, Marine PFC John Smith discovered a neat way to enhance his aerobic and anaerobic performances. He was able to bench press and dead lift 5% more weight and run faster and farther than usual. As an added bonus, Smiths appetite was less and he lost 10 pounds¾in just 2 weeks! Then, tragedy struck. Less than 20 minutes after he went out for a 6-mile run, a passerby found the Marine dead on the side of the road.
Hidden Hazards of Sports and Dietary Supplements
Date Posted: 2000-07-14
What killed this young, healthy Marine? Was it chronic heart disease or lung disease? Or was it the performance-enhancing pill that he had been taking? At autopsy, there were no signs of chronic heart, lung, or other diseases. The coroner concluded that the performance enhancing supplement that PFC Smith was taking¾a combination of Ephedra (Ma Huang) and caffeine¾caused him to go into cardiac arrest and prevented his brain from regulating excess body heat that accumulated during strenuous exercise. The young Marine started taking one pill prior to working out, then two and, eventually, he started taking three pills. He figured if one pill worked well, then three pills would work three times as well.
The above story is fictional, but represents a growing public health epidemic¾athletes and others trying to take short cuts to their ultimate fitness goals. Marketing sports/dietary supplements (also called power building/energy-enhancing dietary supplements or ergogenic aids) is big business. In just 6 years, the sale of dietary/sports supplements nearly doubled, going from $3.3 billion in 1990 to $6.5 billion in 1996. Dietary/sports supplements are widely available at fitness centers, supermarkets, drug and health food stores. Surveys show that almost half of all Americans admit to taking some type of dietary supplement in the form of amino acids, vitamins/minerals, herbs, and performance-enhancing agents.
The intrigue of these products has to do with slick advertisement that promises to improve the amount of weight one can lift, the length of time and intensity one can workout, and the ease with which one can build muscles and lose weight. Unfortunately, most supplement users believe that natural products are harmless. But this is not true. Numerous cases of stroke, heart attacks, and deaths associated with sports/dietary supplements have been reported. People with a history of seizures, diabetes, high blood pressure, glaucoma, heart, thyroid, and prostate problems are especially vulnerable to the adverse effects of these agents. Androstenedione and other steroid supplements can cause breast enlargement, testicular shrinkage, decreased sperm count, and irritability in men. Women can expect to get acne, male-pattern hair growth, and a decrease in breast tissue. Ephedra and other ergogenic agents may interact with antidepressant and blood pressure medications. For military personnel, some of these agents can cause a positive urinalysis for amphetamines.
Because these agents are sold as dietary supplements, they are available without a doctors prescription and, unlike regular drugs, they have not undergone rigorous scientific scrutiny. The fact is, these supplements are drugs being sold with the help of legal loopholes (e.g., the steroid supplements claim only one enzymatic step away from the real thing but they become the real thing once processed in the body). Many prominent scientists and clinical doctors recommend against using performance-enhancing and dietary supplements. Critics of these products reason that because these supplements have not undergone scientific studies, and are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, that the following uncertainties remain:
· Whats the safe dosage of these supplements?
· How do these supplements interact with regular medications (e.g., pain medications)?
· Who shouldnt take these supplements; e.g., can adolescents take them?
· What is the quality of the manufactured product? Since they are unregulated, many of these items dont always contain the ingredient listed on the labels.
· What are the risks to consumer when little or no mandated information is available, unlike the requirement of manufacturers to disclose information of their products?
· What are the potential health hazards from long-term use?
For more information on performance-enhancing and dietary supplements contact your health care provider or call the Kadena Health and Wellness Center (HAWC) at 634-2499 or U.S. Naval Hospital, Okinawa HAWC at 645-2620.

The Bath Academy (1811)
Location: 352 Academy Street, Bath
Founded in 1811 by means of local subscriptions, the Bath Academy operated briefly as a public school before being requisitioned as a military barracks during the War of 1812. It later reopened and by offering an extensive curriculum gained an excellent reputation for scholarship.
Daniel Fowler (1810-1894)
Location: Near 14005 Front Road, Amherst Island
A long-time resident of Amherst Island, Fowler received much public acclaim for his watercolours. He painted local landscapes, flowers, and still-life compositions in a highly realistic style enhanced by a strong sense of colour.
The Escape of the Royal George (1812)
Location: Highway 33 West of Bath
In the first significant naval action on the Great Lakes during the War of 1812, the British Warship Royal George escaped its American pursuers by adroitly navigating the gap between Prince Edward County and Amherst Island. After an exchange of fire in Kingston harbour the following day, the American fleet was forced to withdraw.
The Fairfield House
Location: 4174 Highway 33, Amherstview
Built by William Fairfield, Sr., a loyalist from Vermont, this handsome clapboard house was completed, according to tradition, in 1793. Six generations of Fairfields occupied the house over the next 150 years. Maintained by the St. Lawrence Parks Commission since 1959, the house has been restored and is now a public museum.
The Founding of Bath
Location: Finkle Shores Park, Highway 33, Bath
One of the oldest communities in Ontario, Bath was first settled in 1784 by discharged soldiers from Jessup's Rangers. A sheltered harbour and road connections with Kingston stimulated economic development and by mid-century Bath was a prosperous point of trade.
The Hawley House
Location: Near 531 Main Street, Bath
Built in the 1780s by Captain Jeptha Hawley, a loyalist from Vermont, the Hawley House is probably the oldest remaining house in the Bay of Quinte area and one of the oldest in the province. The stone portion of the building was added the following decade to provide living quarters for the Reverend John Langhorn, the first resident Anglican clergyman in the district.
Lieutenant-Colonel Edwin Albert Baker (1893-1968)
Location: Near 4989 Highway 33 (west of Amherstview near Parrott's Bay)
As a result of being blinded while serving with the Canadian army in Belgium in 1914, Baker devoted his life to the rehabilitation and training of blind people. He played an instrumental role in the formation of the CNIB in 1918 and served as its managing director from more than 40 years.
Madeleine de Roybon d'Allonne
Location: Near 4872 Highway 33 (just west of Amherstview)
The daughter of a French nobleman, Madeleine de Roybon (c. 1646-1718) came to Fort Frontenac (Kingston) about 1679. On land granted to her by La Salle she built a house and barns, grew crops and grazed cattle, and established a small trading post. She was the first known female landholder in present-day Ontario.
The Reverend John Langhorn (1744-1817)
Location: Near 212 Church Street County Road 7
Born in Wales, Langhorn was appointed missionary to the Bay of Quinte in 1787 and became that region's first resident Anglican clergyman. A man of strong character, Langhorn energetically served the area for 26 years from his headquarters in Ernestown (Bath).

Weather is more of a burden for those who take care of livestock than it is for the livestock. Sure is nice to have the paths plowed!
Spring can come any time now.

Awww, there he is!!
My Johnnnnny. He's looking so fine:)
He's in the uphill-both-ways shot too!
That's a lotta snow, FV. So glad YOU have it, and not us:)
Spring is somewhere close. We have robins back, and the cardinals and chickadees are singing spring tunes.

Thank God, you have Marc. I can imagine what trudging through that stuff would have been but it would definitely build strong legs muscles for riding.
We actually had that much snow here last month. I couldn't even make it anywhere near the barn. Too deep for this old woman. I was definitely glad to see it gone.
I could tell the two by the color patterns. I have to do that here sometimes too. It depends on the angle but I have a couple of pairs that I can get mixed up quite easily. They would be awesome driving pairs, yours and mine, if either of us did that. But then who knows, driving may be in the future. Listening to CNJ it sounds like a blast. Course, I'd have to have some kind of sponsor to get the darn equipment.
Also, talk about going to extremes in temperatures. Tropical vacation followed by a Alberta storm. I still don't get conversions from F to C quickly but the pictures tell the story. I'm thinking the tropical ones are definitely more inviting and I bet bad weather doesn't interfere with riding often.
Your pictures of the dolphins are very cool. I have never seen a butterfly garden but it does sound intriguing. Maybe one of these days.
Glad you are home safe and sound. I'm assuming that Martin is back on the road. Wishing him safe travels.

Gotta admit here. My brain didn't see 'snow' and it still liked the title. Identifying it with life, it says a lot. Neat post!

Wow that's a lot of snow. And here we complain about the heat. Our extreme sucks too, but at least we don't have to shovel it.
Reading MiKaels comment, I'm thinking four-in-hand with a combo of yours and hers.... Wouldn't that be gorgeous?
Yes MiKael it is a blast! With the suspension under the cart taking all the big bumps, it is much easier on the body. Unless of course you hit a pole or something...
Not sure I am liking Blogger/Google's new format. Their new word verif really bites though.

I don't want to see anymore snow this winter. bah! But what a blessing to have such a kind BIL to help clear the paths and roadways. The dogs and cows seem very thankful, too.
Everyone's looking good around there, despite that white stuff covering everything.
Stay warm and safe,

I always love your pictures, but I've gotta say I love the dappled shadows on the snow in that first one. It's breathtaking! Almost ... haunting.
You take beautiful pictures, girl!

Ed: As a leader who has served large churches and other organizations, what are the differences and similarities particular to women leaders at higher levels? Do you think there is a different kind of mindset that you take with you as a woman in high levels of leadership?
Jenni: One of the dynamics we as women have to navigate in those seats is that we are often the only one at the table. There's a lot that could be racing through one's mind being that isolated.
However, I've seen those instances as a privilege. I've always looked at those opportunities as an honor. Therefore, I've sought to seize those opportunities as a means by which I could create a great experience where men and women can work and serve together with the hopes of paving a healthier environment for more diversity in leadership.
That doesn't mean it's easy. It can be a lonely seat. Many time, I've asked men in leadership how it would make them feel if the script was reversed and they were the only male sitting at the table surrounded by women. Armed with that thought, I challenge them to be sensitive to women who might be in that position.
Nevertheless, women need to embrace the feeling of being an outlier. But in doing so, I've encouraged women leaders to find a circle of women who are in similar leadership positions who can be a safe community of support and encouragement.
To be honest, I believe that support mechanism is essential. Where I see women in leadership either pull back, step down, or burn out, is when they don't have peers and mentors.
Ed: For men, how can we help more to empower and release women leaders?
Jenni: First, just that question alone is empowering and releasing! I'm really grateful that many men are addressing this issue and proactively seeking ways to empower and release women in leadership.
I think men can ask questions like, "How do we make this a place where women can bring their gifts and serve well?" And as men seek ways to create environments where women can bring their gifts to the table, they must keep in mind that one of the biggest challenges women—especially young women—leaders are facing (particularly in the church) is that we didn't grow up with the same experiences as our male counterparts.
Thus, men would also need to think developmentally—not just giving women opportunities to lead now, but developing women for leadership. The more experiences that churches can create for young women to develop their leadership skills, the more these women will grow up and seize opportunities to lead rather than shrinking back into more supportive roles.
Ed: Talk a little about the issue of leadership burnout in general.
Jenni: My deepest passion is the health of leaders. If the leader isn't healthy, the team isn't healthy, and thus the organization isn't healthy. Unhealthy organizations do not achieve their mission. So, unhealthy churches do not fulfill the mission that God has given them.
I think the tension for us as leaders is that we have to be intentional to make sure—especially in seasons of rapid growth—we are healthy.
In seasons of rapid growth, we can easily assume everything is healthy. Yet, weeds can grow just as rapidly in seasons of substantial growth. What leaders have to do as they seek to grow healthy organizations and churches is to maintain spiritual perspective.
In maintaining a spiritual perspective, leaders must look at their lives holistically. In reality, leaders lead with their whole being—heart, soul, mind, and strength. Sometimes, when we're pursuing growth, we can diminish the spiritual side of leadership. We get busy focusing on what we are doing rather than focusing on who we are becoming.
My encouragement in leading organizations is to focus on the rhythms within your staff team: relationally connecting with the heart, spiritually investing in the soul, exercising the mind with strategy, and increasing the strength of the vision.
And it is important to develop, early on, the infrastructure where you're able to gauge the spiritual temperature of your team.
Thanks to Jenni for being a guest lecture in my class!

Flood Victims
Floods can be devastating. Depending on the severity, flood victims might lose everything they have: their homes, their jobs, even their loved ones. Whether it's donating a riyal or volunteering to rebuild damaged houses, there are a several ways to lend a helping hand to those in needs. Floods result in breaches of bunds, inundation of river- banks, sweeping away of roads, rail-lines, bridges, collapse of buildings, houses, and wide-spread destruction of standing crops over very large areas. In towns and cities, sewers back flow into streets and houses. Business, traffic, all activity virtually come to a standstill, and there is chaos and destruction all around. The poor and the weaker sections of the society suffer the most in floods. They are deprived of their huts, houses, meager belongings, cattle and crops. In such a situation army troops are pressed into service to help the flood-victims. Other paramilitary forces, too, are deployed to help the authorities in the relief and rescue-operations. Food, medicines and water- packets are then dropped from the helicopters to the marooned people. In spite of these measures, hundreds of people lose their life; still many more people suffer serious injuries. Thus, floods claim many lives and destroy property on a large scale. All the rivers of these states are flowing much higher above their danger marks. OPVGR always play our role to support our citizens in Pakistan . See in successful stories menu about our efforts for flood victims .
And they are still rising and sub-merging large tracts of cultivated land, low lying areas and hundreds of colonies. In the wake of these ravaging floods, now there is a danger of breaking out of epidemics. The quick and proper disposal of corpses and carcasses also become a serious problem during such calamities.
An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the perceptible shaking of the surface of the Earth. Earthquakes can be violent enough to toss people around and destroy whole cities. Whenever such disastrous even occurs, our volunteers immediately start working to provide the maximum support to the victims. Followings are the aftermaths of earthquake;
Many times, the people who support a family socially and economically, dies. This causes most of the other members of the family to either fight their way through, or restart their lives from the bottom of the food-chain.
If the members of the family survive, then they could still be short of a home. The earthquake would have caused the destruction of their house and because of that, they would be left homeless.
In the aftermath of an earthquake, people see weather all the pipelines, roads etc are in good shape or order. If the pipes are broken, then water scarcity begins. If the roads are broken, then food supplies cannot be transported, later causing problems in food scarcity.
With inadequate supply of electricity, the debris and rubble will take a lot of time to remove and if people are under it, then they may die before the rubble is removed. On the other hand, if it is at night and they postpone the work for the day, then overnight the death toll will increase significantly.

Serving: 4
Prep Time: 45 min
Did you know that you can use absolutely any vegetable in your pantry to make soups?
Any kind of soup can make a dull day turn bright and my happy place soup is this simple to make butternut soup that will leave you licking your soup bowl. This is our no-brainer dinner option when we want to have something simple yet amazing.
The beautiful thing about the butternut vegetable (otherwise known as the butter squash) is that you can bake it, boil it, fry it and cook it in a meal or use it to wean your baby. It's that versatile! I actually remember a time when my mum used to steam some for breakfast and she'd just season them with salt and they'd be so yummy!!
Some of the things that I've learnt over time while making soups is that frying them with a bit of butter/cooking oil makes the whole lot of a difference, as compared to just boiling them then mashing them. Frying them first caramelizes the sugars they have, making the soup sweeter.
Another secret I learnt is that you should allow your onions to brown. This adds colour to white based soups and a very nice flavour to any soup. Make sure they don't burn or your soup will have a 'burnt' taste.
Fresh produce will always give you the best soups, check out for butternuts without spots and blemishes that have a light brown/light orange colour. Most of them tend to have a very bright orange flesh, perfect for that orange colour that is distinct to butternut soups.
Flavouring? You can add a bit of ginger and nutmeg to give it a warmth; an apple to add some sweetness; some carrots for more flavour; a lemon squeeze for those who love tangy tastes; Coconut Cream/milk to give it an Ulala flavour… You can just about add anything (NOT EVERYTHING THOUGH) to your butternut soup. A little of these additives go a long way and they don't deprive the natural butternut flavour of your soup. Don't use all of them in one go, select one additive and try it out, then try another on a different day until you find The One flavour that works for you.
Another thing, I do not throw away my peeling and seeds from my vegetables while making soups. I Boil them up and use them as vegetable broth in place of water. I'll share a post on how to do that later on :-).
Here's what you need:
1 Medium sized butternut cubed
3 Medium carrots chopped
3 garlic cloves minced
1 Large onion diced
2 cups vegetable broth/water. 1 extra cup of broth to adjust soup consistency.
3 bay leaves (optional)
Salt to taste
A blender/potato masher
2 Tablespoons Unsalted butter/ cooking oil
This is how you make them:
Pour your butter/oil in your pan (sufuria) on medium-low heat.
Add your onions once the oil is hot and allow them to turn slightly brown. Stir occasionally to ensure they cook evenly.
Add garlic once the onions have browned and stir until fragrant.
Add your chopped butternut and carrots and stir. Allow simmering for 10-15 minutes, constantly stirring to ensure they don't stick to the bottom of your pan.
Add your two cups of broth/water and add salt to taste and increase heat until they start boiling. Then lower the heat for them to simmer at low heat until the butternut become tender and mushy, around 15 min.
Remove the bay leaves if using and allow the soup to slightly cool.
You can use your hand blender or transfer the soup to your blender or use your potato masher at this point. The blender will give you a smooth soup while the potato masher will give you a chunky soup.
Transfer the soup back to your pan and reheat. You can add the final cup of broth a little at a time depending on the desired soup consistency. Add salt to taste
You can have this with these bread rolls :D
Share with me how your experience was making this soup and what flavours you used.
Bon Appetit!

More times than not it seems as if Fannie Mae REO's are priced extremely high in CA, compared to list prices of other REO properties. Sometimes understanding why something is done is half the battle, and it helps ease the frustration of completing a excellent BPO only to have the client list the property 20K higher than suggested list price.
A few months ago, I had the opportunity to sit in on a conference call with Fannie Mae representatives and it all became clear as to why their properties in CA are listed so high.
The current mission of Fannie Mae is to bring about neighborhood stabilization, and preserve neighborhoods. In conjunction they want to lessen losses; however one cannot be accomplished without the other. So what does this have to do with overpricing homes in California?
First and foremost, California is considered to be a premium state to Fannie Mae. (What this means, I don't know ,your guess is as good as mine, but my assumption is this: California leads most other states when it comes to appreciation and migration of a state to live. Maybe it dates back to the Gold Rush Days. LOL
With Fannie being the leader in owning mortgages, chance are that for every one Bank Owned home or Foreclose on a street, they own 10-12 others on the same street. So it is of benefit to both Fannie Mae and the neighborhood for the REO home to be priced higher. The hope is to be less of a shock factor for those other ten - twelve performing notes on the block, so that they keep performing and paying their mortgages. (This is a must to bring about stabilization.) I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict that in the near future you will see less homes go on the market, meaning there will be FC's of DIL's you don't even know about and previous owners will remain in homes as renters until they can buy back the homes .
Fellow agents now that you understand, don't get frustrated, keep doing your BPO's and just remember, the comps don't lie, and true market value is what a ready, willing buyer, is willing to pay for a home. I have been quite surprised by my last two list prices, as they have been rather aggressive. I'll keep you posted.
Let me leave you with these word of wisdom. What's good for Fannie, may not be good for Saxon, or Aurora, and ultimately not good for you. Stay tuned for my next blog and I'll explain.
Remember this, " If your going to thrive in any market, knowing where it is going, and how to position yourself will be key for your success"
Very Truly Yours,
Jonathan Burgess

Air Force Invests $1B in Cloud-based UC&C
The U.S. Air Force late this summer awarded the federal government's largest ever unified communications and collaboration contract. The winners of the $1 billion cloud deal are Dell EMC, General Dynamics, and Microsoft.
Dell EMC Consulting Services will provide application profiling and migration services. Microsoft Office 365 is the platform to which the U.S. Air Force is moving. And General Dynamics is an aerospace and defense company that provides an array of solutions, including IT ones, to commercial and military clients.
"General Dynamics Information Technology is proud to continue our support to the U.S. Air Force, Defense Logistics Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers," said Dan Busby, vice president and general manager at General Dynamics Information Technology Global Solutions Division. "This contract provides a solution for unified communications that accelerates migration to cloud-based IT and communications capabilities while enabling the warfighters to focus on their core missions."
The Air Force, the Defense Logistics Agency, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will receive new UC&C capabilities as part of this effort. About 776,000 end users will be involved.
This is part of the larger Cloud Hosted Enterprise Services, or CHES, program. And it's expected to improve the agility, efficiency, and innovation of the Air Force's information technology effort.
"We're grateful for the Air Force's continued confidence in Dell EMC and our industry partners to expand and further support its IT modernization efforts," said Steve Harris, senior vice president and general manager at Dell EMC Federal. "This new contract builds on the foundation and success of Collaboration Pathfinder that launched the department's modernization initiative. Dell EMC has the strengths in cloud, defense and consulting services needed to implement quickly and manage enterprise-scale migrations. We will help deliver a robust CHES infrastructure, enabling the service to focus on mission accomplishment."
Leigh Madden, general manager for U.S. Defense at Microsoft, added: "The CHES contract extends the ability of the Air Force to collaborate across the enterprise. We aren't just delivering a secure productivity solution, we're freeing up resources, so our airmen can focus on mission critical tasks."

After the law was passed, several opposition cities, such as Szeged and Salgótarján, decided that the municipality and its companies would not use the 400 hours overtime allowed by the legislation. It gave the trade unions a little impetus and power, triggering strikes and wage negotiations.
But most importantly, the opposition parties have begun their cooperation on this very issue, "the fruit of which has ripened in the local elections."
This "led to now being able to run jointly in the municipal elections. On 5 January, I said at Kossuth Square that one-on-one scenarios could break Orbán's National Co-operation System. This has actually happened in the municipal elections, "said the party president in the program "Straightforward Talk."
Due to the slavery law, opposition parties began to negotiate in Parliament. There, the opposition unity was formed and then also on the streets, as opposition leaders proclaimed on stage that they would act together.
"And tens of thousands of people there have been instructing opposition leaders to push this opposition cooperation forward. This cooperation has not yet come together at the EP elections, although I called for it there, too, but the municipal elections thankfully brought it about," he said.
The party president was asked about a series of questions that he put to various ministries after Speaker László Kövér's infamous "checks are stupid" speech, all but one of which rejected Kövér's claims.
Tóth called it "quite interesting" that government representatives confronted Fidesz's caucus leader, the country's third public-law dignity, with their disagreement. As to Kövér's other claims, such as the mobile phone being "a weapon of mass destruction" Tóth said "they could not be considered funny."
In the case of the MSZP municipal representatives in Budafok, whose membership was suspended by the party presidency, which also initiated their exclusion after they voted alongside Fidesz in exchange for positions, Tóth emphasized that it was perfectly normal within a local government board to have disagreement between members of the various opposition parties, as they would not all agree on certain issues.
"This is what we wanted. We did not fight to build a system like Fidesz, where there is no place for debate, where differences of opinion must be kept hidden from the public. Indeed, there is room for public debate in a democracy," he said.
But these representatives deceived those through whom they gained their mandates: their constituents, opposition cooperation partners as well as MSZP.
"This is unacceptable, outrageous and there is no valid explanation. (…) It cannot happen that as soon as there is dispute between opposition partners, I run to Fidesz and make a deal with them. (…) This is intolerable," he said.
The two representatives will be able to present their reasons before the disciplinary council of MSZP. The party cannot take away their mandates, but "the stigma is on them", and they have to account for their behavior towards their constituents.
The party president said they would continue to take very strong measures against those who pose a threat to the opposition unity, and that he hoped that other opposition parties would also take such a strong stance in favour of the unity.
"I am convinced that after free cities, the ultimate goal is the establishment of a free Hungary," and that opposition cooperation could lead to a change of government in 2022, he concluded.

I returned and met up with this lady, no not a young girl, this lady was in her late 30s and had two children. Now at this point in my life I have given up everything, my family, home and pretty much everything I/we owned including our £160,000 home, however I was as skeptical about Thai ladies as the next Westerner.
Yes I had heard they only want your money or just want a good time on the Westerners money, so it was a little strange that I had met this lady who did not seem to want much from me. Yes the occasional meal, some clothes when we went out shopping and of course gold, but she did not like drinking or even going out to bars or clubs even though she was working in one. We would eat out whenever I came back to Thailand, but nothing would ever cost a lot and she would never ask for anything expensive. This was not the norm of what I had heard from other Westerners or read about in books about Thailand.
Well since those fateful first trips to Thailand we have bought land, built a home, have had two cars and several bikes. Okay so as we all know the land is in the wife or the girlfriends name, but this is where it can all go wrong, or not!! Coming from England I too was focused on money, material aspects of life and that what I bought was mine, just to name a few things. All those years ago I was lucky to have a girlfriend/wife (Thai) who would teach me right from wrong when it came to the Thai culture and the ways of Thai life and living. We have had many problems, but they have been on both sides and due to the cultural differences as well as the game they call Hi-Lo that is played in the northeast (Isaan) and probably other parts of the country. I have probably spent in the region of £60/70,000 in the few years I have been living in Thailand and a big part of that was given to help my Thai wifes family. I still love life in Thailand, we have a beautiful home, I have a gorgeous Thai wife (same lady) and of course when things don't go well for us, for whatever reason I get stressed, but I think about where I am, who I am with, how she now loves me unreservedly and I know however many things or people test us and sometimes to the limits I am living in paradise with my Thai angel.

Leaderboards can be completely disabled, or show different leaderboards.
Steps to configuring the leaderboards (Stats)
1. Go to the Company Admin.
2. Go to the Settings, and scroll to Stats.
You have four options
1. Show leaderboards for the company's teams and where the current user is located in the user leaderboard. This means no matter where the current user is located in the leaderboard, they will see themselves and the people below them and above them, and not necessary the top employees of the company if the current user is not a top employee.
2. Show the top employees leaderboard, which shows the first place user and down to the last.
3. Show both the top employee and the current user-focused leaderboards (user and team).
4. Don't show any leaderboards and disable the stats page. This is accomplished by turning OFF both leaderboards. The top navigation link will disappear on page refresh.
Current user-focused leaderboard
The current user is in 7th place, but still shows them front and center.

Sometimes you just need a big tablet. Sometimes you need a really, really big tablet, which is exactly what AT&T is thinking with the unveiling of its excessively large Samsung Galaxy View 2. While smaller than the original View tablet, it's still absolutely massive, coming with a 17.3-inch screen, which makes it closer to the size of a small TV than what we traditionally think of as a tablet.
Samsung Galaxy View 2 Features
Obviously, the main thing that stands out about the Galaxy View 2 is the screen. The 17.3-inch display features a 1920 x 1080 resolution. The tablet has a built-in cover that flips over to double as a kickstand, which is pretty necessary when you're dealing with a tablet this massive. Holding it on your lap will not be the most comfortable way to go. The overall dimensions of the tablet are 10.37 x 16.42 x 0.68 inches.
Powering the giant screen is a modest Exynos 7884 – 1.6 GHz Dual + 1.6GHz Hexa processor. There's only 3GB of RAM, which is a bit on the low side for most modern tablets. For internal storage, there's 64GB with a microSD slot for adding more later.
Because the tablet is so gigantic, there's room for a large battery. In fact, Samsung has included a 12,000mAh battery, which should keep the behemoth running for the long haul.
While it seems like it would be uncomfortable to hold the View 2 up to take a photo, Samsung did include a 5MP front-facing camera for plus-sized video calls.
For software, there's Android 8.1 installed out of the box.
How Much is the Giant Galaxy View 2?
The giant tablet is available starting Friday. According to Droid-Life, it'll be $37/month for 20 months through AT&T Next. That means the total cost of the device is $740. Obviously, with the modest specs offered inside the tablet, the main thing driving up the cost is the giant screen, which may or may not be something that fits in with your lifestyle.

As a marketing manager in the event planning industry, your success hinges on the quality of your exhibit materials and how well you have planned for the event. In an ideal world, you will have at least several months to plan for an industry exhibition. However, unexpected opportunities sometimes arise, and it is up to you to create an amazing exhibit in lightning-fast turnaround time. When you find yourself facing a critical exhibit with little time to plan, you need to act swiftly and methodically. With this 8-step guide to last-minute exhibiting, you will knock your tasks out of the park! Your boss and everyone who views your exhibit will think you have been planning for months!
1) Survey your exhibit space
Exhibit space is pricey and costs are increasing every year. With prices ranging from under $1,000 for a small inline booth to over $27,000 AUD for a 6 x 6 metre island booth at an international event, you want to make sure you properly utilise every square inch of your allotted area. So before you swing into action and map out a strategy, make sure you know exactly what you have to work with in terms of exhibit space.
- Find your company's location: If your exhibit location is less than ideal, you may be able to take advantage of a cancellation and relocate.
- Note the size of your exhibit space: You do not want to bring bulky furniture and a 12-foot tall display in a 10 x 10 foot space.
- Stake out key competitors: It is always a good idea to know where your competitors are located with respect to your space.
- Note any spatial restrictions: Some exhibitions have height restrictions on the size of the display you can erect.
- Look for major exhibitors: You may also be able to strategically choose a location to take advantage of the traffic flow of a major exhibitor.
2) Determine your budget
Now that you know what type of space you have to work within, it is time to review your budget and figure out how much you can afford to spend on your display and other key expenses. Here are some key items some people neglect to consider when planning a last-minute exhibit:
- Rush fees to prepare your display: Some providers will charge a rush fee of 10% to 50% more for a lightning fast turnaround time.
- Expedited shipping costs: Remember that these costs can be even higher if your event is taking place overseas.
- Marketing and advertising: If you plan to use paid advertising or print any promotional materials, you need to set aside some budget for this.
- Labour costs: If you need help setting up your display, you will need to reserve some budget to pay for labour on setup and breakdown days.
3) Establish your marketing strategy
Even if your event is only days away, you need to develop a marketing strategy to promote your brand. You can kick off your event participation with an announcement on social media followed by an e-mail campaign. You will also need to determine whether you would like to bring any printed brochures or catalogues with you and whether you wish to invest in any paid advertising prior to the exhibition.
4) Select a top-notch graphics expert
Your ability to flourish at your event hinges in great part on the quality of your exhibit display. Today's displays are more breathtaking, creative, and captivating than ever. By selecting an award-winning graphics specialist who is an expert in the graphics and printing arenas, you can gain an edge over your competitors. Here are a few qualities to seek in a graphics provider:
- Industry experience: Ideally, the partner you choose will have at least two decades of experience in the exhibition design industry.
- Sensitivity to deadlines: Choosing a graphics expert that can operate under tight deadlines is essential to your success.
- Innovative: Seeking a creative graphics provider with cutting-edge design expertise will help you blow away your boss and attract more prospects.
- Affordable: Just because you are up against a tight deadline does not give a graphics company an excuse to grossly overcharge you.
- An eco-friendly approach: Select a company that uses recyclable materials to produce an eco-friendly display is ideal.
5) Gather your freebies and promotional materials
Exhibit attendees love giveaways. Even if you are planning at the last minute, you still might be able to order some eye-catching promotional items. A good starting point would be to check with your graphics provider to see if they would be able to prepare some personalised items for you that match your new display.
6) Securely pack and protect your exhibit materials
Even the smoothest carriers in the world endure poor road and weather conditions that can wreak havoc on a poorly packaged shipment. Failure to ensure that your trade show displays or conference materials are securely packed in a sturdy container can result in damage to your materials. Good options include hard shell containers that feature wheels and a retractable handle for easy transport and loading.
7) Choose your shipping carrier wisely
Now that you have organised your exhibit and trade show materials, it is time to enlist the support of a dependable shipping carrier to handle the delivery of your materials. Your exhibition partner will be able to recommend an experienced carrier who can help ensure that your materials arrive safe and intact.
8) Carry spare business cards and some supplies with you
If delivery of your display and other event materials is delayed by weather conditions or an emergency, you will want to make sure that you have a small stock of key items on hand in your personal luggage. Items to pack include the following:
• Spare business cards
• Extra catalogues
• A copy of the trade show or conference guide
• Pens and notepads
• Keep a digital copy of your brochure files on a USB key as a backup
The Bottom Line
There is no substitute for advance planning when preparing for your next conference or trade show. However, irresistible last-minute opportunities may sometimes arise, requiring you to produce a breathtaking display with little turnaround time.
For more tips to ensure a successful show, please contact us. We look forward to helping you design a stellar exhibit - even if you call us at the last minute!

It's never been easier to toast with a locally-made Maryland spirit. As a state with one of the fastest-growing rates of distilleries, Maryland is home to more than two dozen unique companies that exceed the expectations of even the most critical palettes. We're excited to celebrate these innovative artisans during November as part of Maryland Spirits Month. Get in the spirit and check out some of these award-winning liquors with Maryland roots for your next holiday gathering.
Lyon Distilling
Located in charming St. Michaels, Lyon Distilling prides itself on offering a signature line of rums that pay tribute to the rich traditions of the Eastern Shore.
"Lyon Distilling opened five years ago, as Maryland's first rum distillery in over 50 years," said owner and co-founder Jaime Windon. "We are dedicated to transforming Louisiana sugar cane into delightful American rum, every day, by hand, here on the Eastern Shore."
Signature Drink: The Chesapeake Stormy – made with Lyon's flagship Dark Rum and spicy ginger beer – perfect for everyone who sails into our harbor!
Springfield Manor Winery/Distillery/Brewery
Springfield Manor in Thurmont offers farm to glass spirits including rye whiskey, bourbon, rum, vodka, grappa, brandy, and gin.
"Our mountain fresh limestone filtered spring water, along with corn grown exclusively on our farm, are used to create Maryland's first Straight Bourbon," said John St. Angelo, owner and head distiller of Springfield Manor. "The lavender from our fields creates our San Francisco Double Gold-Winning Lavender Gin."
Signature Drink: The Lavender Bees Knees
2oz Springfield Manor Lavender Gin
3/4oz honey syrup
3/4oz fresh squeezed lemon juice
Add all ingredients to an ice filled shaker. Shake vigorously and strain into a glass which can be rimmed with lavender sugar & garnished with 2 springs of fresh lavender, a lemon twist, or a small piece of honeycomb.
MISCellaneous Distillery
MISCellaneous Distillery, in Mount Airy, offers an award-winning range of rums and whiskeys as well as vodka and gin. The company hosts tours at their Main Street tasting room and boasts a strong relationship with local Carroll County farms and businesses to craft their products.
"At MISCellaneous Distillery, our motto is Live and Drink by Your Own Rules," said co-owner Meg McNeill. "Instead of charging for tours and tastings, we ask visitors for a donation which we pass along to non-profit partners. By highlighting a new partner each quarter, we get to shine a spotlight on the important work led by many local organizations."
Signature Drink: A simple daiquiri using MISCellaneous' Risky Rum, which took home the gold medal in 2018 at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
Tobacco Barn Distillery
Located in St. Mary's County, Tobacco Barn Distillery pays tribute to the Southern Maryland region's long history of spirits production with their environmentally-friendly whiskies, bourbons, and rums.
"What makes our bourbon special is that we grow the corn right next to the distillery," said head distiller Dan Dawson. "We are a true 'dirt-to-bottle' operation. It's such a good feeling to mash, ferment, and barrel a bourbon in November, from the corn you planted in May, right here in Maryland."
Signature Drink: According to Tobacco Barn's partner Scott Sanders, "We drink our bourbon 'neat' or with one ice cube...so no cocktail recipe for us."

McDonald's is one of the favourite food destination of Kids, but I hate to go there. Don't get me wrong, I am not talking about the food, it's great, at least kids love them. But the place is so much crowded, I hate getting in line to order something and then hunt for a place for us to sit down while carrying our orders in our hands. I plain weird for me, and for many people I know.
So, what's the solution? I came up with the replica of McAloo Tikki, which McD puts in a variety of their signature recipes liek Mc Aloo Burger or Mc Aloo Wrap.
So, if you follow the step by step process of creating these Mc Aloo Tikki carefully, you are going to end up with the exact same thing you have at McDonald's and even better in some cases as you are assured of the quality of the food you eat.
Do try this out, I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.
Preparation Time: 10-12 Minutes

|1/2 cup
|2 tablespoon
|Red chilly powder
|1 teaspoon
|Turmeric powder
|1/2 teaspoon
|Cumin powder
|1/2 teaspoon
|Coriander powder
|1/2 teaspoon
|Pepper powder
|1/4 teaspoon
|to taste
|Garlic chopped
|1 teaspoon
|Corn flour
|1/4 cup
|Baking powder
|1/2 teaspoon
|Bread crumbs
|1 cup
Ingredients for batter:
|All purpose flour
|1/2 cup
|Corn flour
|1/4 cup
|Baking powder
|1/4 teaspoon
|Chilled water
|1/2 cup
|1 tablespoon
1. Boil potato and keep it in the fridge for 1-2 hours before using. So that it won't break when you will be making tikkis. Heat the non stick pan with butter.
2. Add green peas and mashed potatoes in the pan.
3. Cook it on medium flame for 1 minutes. Then add washed rice flakes in the wok, mix it well.
4. Add red chilly powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, salt and pepper powder. Mix it well, Cook it on medium flame for 1-2 minutes. Switch off the flame.
5. Wrap it in thin plastic sheet as tight as you can in a cylindrical shape, close both the ends. I have tied it using a thread. Keep it in the freezer for 2 hours.
6. Combine 1/4 cup corn flour and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder in a bowl, mix it well and keep it aside. We will use this mixture for coating the tikkis before deep frying.
7. Combine all the ingredients given in the table" Ingredients for batter" in a another bowl.
8. Mix it well, there should be no lumps in the batter. Now batter is ready for coating the tikkis.
9. Now take out the potato roll from the freezer and slice it into tikkis, they should not be too thin or thick. Take one tikki and use the mixture we prepared in step 6 to coat it.
10. Do it properly with all the tikkis. Now dip the coated Tikkis in the batter we prepared in step 7.
11. Then Coat the Tikki in Bread Crumbs.
12. And deep fry it on a Medium Flame till it is golden and crisp. Do the same with all the tikkis. Crispy mcaloo tikki is ready to serve.
13. Enjoy!!

Running From Nothing Development's flagship series in the mod is always undergoing state of the art graphical and physics update to stay the #1 short track racing mod in rFactor! With real engine telemetry and spot on track development you feel everything that the driver's out at your local track experience. The Late Models do not only race realistically but also look realistic with brand new models as of 2013 bringing a look that no other asphalt short track racing mod group has brought. Being the first series RFND has released for the mod, RFND remains committed to updating this series with the latest ever changing updates in racing.
3 Different Late Model Divisions!
Crate Late Model
Crate Late Models (CLM) in Weekend Warriors are built off the American Canadian Tour (ACT) rule book! ACT is the most popular CLM series in the nation! Based in the northeast region ACT has gained such popularity the series was invited to travel all the way to New Smyrna, Florida to participate in the World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing, many teams took the chance to travel to such a large event for their own special 3 day show in which they ran a 100 lap race each of their 3 days there. Race teams, officials, and fans could be seen on social media talking about how ACT put on some of the best racing that entire week at a track they had never been to and completely outside their region for the tour! Currently the biggest race on the ACT schedule is ACT's Invitational race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) in Loudon, New Hampshire. ACT runs 50 laps at NHMS as the CLM division puts on a heck of show running up to 3 and 4 wide on such a large track with such limited power. Below is some information about the CLM division in Weekend Warriors:
- GM 603 Crate Engine 355hp 443ft-lbs Torque!
- 2,800lbs Minimum Weight!
- 57.0% Maximum Left Side Weight!
- Stock GM Standard 3 Speed Transmission!
- Maximum Sway Bar Diameter 1.75in!
- KONI 30 Series Spec Shocks
Late Model Stock Car
The Late Model Stock Car (LMSC) division is designed off the rule book for NASCAR's LMSC division! This is a division you normally see across large portions of the USA at NASCAR Home Tracks, this division also races for national points in the NASCAR Whelen All American Series. This division also is very popular in the heart of "NASCAR Country" which consists of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. At the beginning of the year and end of the year during some big special events in Florida you can see LMSC teams traveling south to race in certain Pro Late Model events such as the Pro Late Model portion of the World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing at New Smyrna Speedway in New Smyrna, Florida or the Snowflake 100 as part of Snowball Derby Weekend at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida. Throughout the year there are other special events LMSC teams run such as the Virginia is for Racing Lovers 300 at Martinsville Speedway in Martinsville, Virginia and the Battle at the Beach at Myrtle Beach Speedway in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The Battle at the Beach was first run on the back stretch of Daytona International Speedway in Daytona, Florida. Below is some information about the LMSC division in Weekend Warriors:
- Crate Engine 355hp 443ft-lbs Torque 2,950lbs Minimum Car Weight!
- Built Engine 595hp 587ft-lbs Torque 3,100lbs Minimum Car Weight!
- Penske or Advanced Racing Suspension (ARS) Adjustable Shock Options!
- 4 Speed Transmission!
Super Late Model
Super Late Models (SLM), the highest tier of Late Model racing! RFND chose a very popular sanction to get SLM rules and specifications from that does not just cover 1 region. Pro All Star Series (PASS) has 2 SLM tours known as PASS North and Pass South. PASS runs all over the eastern side of North America from Canada all the way down to the southeastern region of the USA. Although the SLM division in Weekend Warriors is built off the PASS rule book many SLM tours across North America run by such similar rules it allows teams to travel just about where ever they want in order to race with minimal changes. In the SLM community the biggest race of the year ends the racing season each year in a huge way with drivers traveling from every major SLM Series and every region in North America to the half mile Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida for The Snowball Derby. The Snowball Derby is a massive 300 lap race featuring the best SLM drivers in North America! Some drivers race in this event while being on driver development teams affiliated with NASCAR teams and this event is kick start to their future NASCAR career, other drivers such as retired or even current NASCAR drivers have this 1 event as a bucket list item to complete during their racing career! Below is some information about the SLM division in Weekend Warriors:
- 4 Engine Options!
- Equalizer SLM Engine 4brl 600cfm Carb and 2,800lbs Minimum Car Weight!
- Equalizer SLM Engine 2brl 500cfm Carb and 2,750lbs Minimum Car Weight!
- GM Fastburn 400 Crate Engine 4brl 650cfm Carb and 2,700lbs Minimum Car Weight!
- Ford D347 SR Crate Engine 4brl 650cfm Carb and 2,800lbs Minimum Car Weight!

Pandora revealed its third quarter financial figures yesterday, and can now say growth in mobile revenues have caught (and is outpacing) growth of its mobile audience.
[We reported this week that comScore figures show Pandora, with 77% of its total listening hours now from mobile, is the Internet's most "mobile-centric" company here.]
And while earnings (as well as audience growth -- Pandora reports 3Q13 total listener hours of 3.56 billion, up 67% year-over-year; with 59.2 million "active users," up 47% year-over-year) appear quite healthy, Pandora's stock dropped once again in after-hours trading, as the service battles with the music industry to secure a more favorable royalty structure.
For the three months ending October 31, 2012 (Pandora's fiscal 2013 third-quarter), Pandora made $120 million ($106.3 million from advertising; $13.7 million from subscriptions -- both up from last year). While that's up 60% from the same period last year, the company's "content acquisition costs" (aka royalties) rose 75%.
As mentioned, the gem in its revenue news is mobile. Pandora reports 3Q13 total mobile revenue of $73.9 million, 112% growth year-over-year. It was at the end of this time period that the service launched Pandora 4.0, its most significant mobile app redesign ever (here). The aim, of course, is that by enhancing the usability of the app, and increasing the value of interacting with it, it also increases the value of accompanying advertising.
Pandora now says it employs sales managers in 27 of the country's top 40 radio markets, and has local account execs on the street in 17. Pandora CEO Joe Kennedy told investors yesterday to expect "significant additional hiring" approaching a total of 100 local sellers, Tom Taylor reports.
"Be prepared to hear about 'RPM' – Pandora's internal metric of advertising revenue earned per thousand listening hours," writes Taylor.
See Pandora's 3Q13 financials here. And read some excellent reporting on this in Tom Taylor Now here.

The material is a little bit cheaper feeling than I was hoping for, but where it is lacking in quality it makes up for in comfort. It is very stretchy and delicate. Overall, I enjoy it.

When Cabling From Scratch, Would You Choose Coax Or Ethernet Cabling For HD-CVI Cameras?
If trying to install a HD-CVI camera system in a house or building which has no pre-existing CCTV cabling, would you choose traditional coax or would you use Cat 5e cable with a balun at either end?
I am tempted by the idea of installing Cat 5e so it could be easily used with IP cameras in the future without needing to recable, or without having to use a bunch of EoC converters.
Testing HDCVI Over UTP showed that HD-CVI cameras worked very well over Cat 5e as long as one used cables of less than 500 feet.
So that leaves me wondering if trying to install a HD-CVI system, is there any compelling reason why I should install coax or would Cat 5e and pairs of baluns be a wiser choice? Thank you for your thoughts!
Did you verify that CVI over 500' of UTP works fine with 1080P cameras, as well as 720P?
Are the lengths short enough that you can run 24VAC thru the baluns/cat5e too, along with the signal?
If yes to both, then yes to UTP.
The question I would ask is "why". With the price of copper and thickness of running coax and power it would seem Baluns an easy choice. This does limit the distances to 330' for the installation of future IP cameras.
If you are doing it to "future proof" you should know that the core technology behind CVI can be used for cameras up to 4k although none are sold yet. It supports full bi-directional audio/control/programming like IP products. What would changing out the system do for you later?
We have installed HDCVI both ways; with CAT5e and passive baluns, and with RG59 Siamese. In my opinion, the COAX seemed to have a better image, but they weren't side by side comparisons at the same site, to be fair. Both sites were under 300ft per run, so distance shouldn't have been a factor either. We were using inexpensive (>$20) passive baluns with the CAT5e at the first site. These baluns allow a terminated 8P8C connection on both ends and the other side of the balun has the BNC and power in/outs. These baluns used one pair for video and three pairs for power. We used a 12VDC PSU in both cases. Both sites used the same model camera and DVR.
There are other factors to take into account, but on face value, if video quality is paramount, I would recommend COAX.
I've done it both ways, too. We used to use CAT5 for everything, and just added baluns for analog cameras. But, as they say, "You learn all the good stuff the hard way!"
The real 'gotcha' in using the UTP+balun approach is long-term service: The balun adds another two parts per camera (barring the use of multi-line baluns at the head end). This unnecessarily adds another opportunity for failure. And another, if you have ever had the screw-down connectors pinch and weaken the somewhat brittle 24ga solid conductor of CAT5. They do break, especially when exposed to heating/cooling cycles over time (at the camera end) or when jostled in the closet (at the DVR/Encoder end).
Using RG59 and compression-type BNC connectors is the way to go in my book, unless the analog is a short-term solution before a conversion to pure-IP system is rolled out.
For the past 5 years, we have pulled both. We use the coax for video and CAT5E/6 for power. Our infrastructure is future proof. Since the CAT cable has multiple conductors, combine them for the power of analog or IP cameras as necessary. You will have all the cable you need. As for which is better for the video signal of Analog HD, in my experience, coax.
