This financial crisis appears to be getting worse by the day. The economy is stalled and millions of workers have lost their jobs. 🙁 Did you hear about the man who was fired at a coffee factory? They say he had no filter. 😎 But there is a silver lining here. As the stock market sinks the dividend yields rise. 🙂
Value investing with dividend stocks
Warren Buffett bought 4.3 million shares of Suncor (TSE:SU) last quarter when the stock was trading at roughly $40/share. Today TSE:SU is trading at just $16/share. Buffett is a value investor who only buys profitable companies that have promising growth prospects. Anyone buying SU today would be getting in at a 60% discount compared to what Buffett paid in late 2019. I don't give stock tips, but I'm just sayin'. 😉
Similar to Buffett I've been on the lookout for bargains lately. I purchased many dividend growth stocks throughout this month. In today's post I will disclose which stocks I bought, why I bought them, and how I have grown my forward dividend income by $7,200 per year. Wowzers! 😀
Narrowing down my options
There are thousands of stocks and ETFs out there. So how did I choose? Well first, I determined which type of investment account to use. This will ensure maximum tax savings. I don't have much contribution room remaining in my TFSA and RRSP. So most of my new purchases will be in a fully taxable account. This means looking at securities that pay eligible dividends which can benefit from the Canadian dividend tax credit.
I personally like to buy and hold companies that consistently increase their dividends over time. These are known as dividend growth stocks.

I forgot to include that I currently have a 3-head Technics cassette deck from the early 90s. I am assuming that the Nak would have better playback ability than the Technics. I don't plan on doing much recording.
The Nak 480, while certainly not a bad machine, was one of their lowest common denominator decks. If it were a BMW, it would definitely be a 3 series, and I dont mean M3, more like 318i.
With cassette decks as cheap as they are I would consider a more substantial Nak (Timo makes a good suggestion), or just give the Technics a clean and stick with it.
Just my .02 as a former Nakamichi dealer during the heyday of the 480.
the nak 480 does have adjustable zenith and azimuth. in fact, it uses exactly the same transport as the top of the line 3 heads. the only difference is the head, which is a different head than the playback head in the 3 head models. the thing is, however, that the playback head in the 3 head models are significantly better than the two head ones.
you might be taking a chance, because while the 480 is a very decent machine, some of the technichs decks from the early 90's were surprisingly good for playback. if it is the auto reverse model, azimuth is easy, there should be a screw on each side of the head base where the head stops it's rotation.
either way you go, azimuth is the only adjustment you should worry about. you should adjust it for each tape you play, because the correct azimuth for playback will be the same as when it was recorded, not nessesarilly the perfect 90 degree, but at the same as the error if any that was present when it was recorded. adjusting the zenith would affect other adjustments. the nak 480 and 3 heads allow adjustment of azimuth without affecting the other adjustments. the auto reverse ones that have the azimuth adjustment at the end of the head rotation do this as well. most decks of the non- auto reverse type do not allow for azimuth adjustment without changing other parameters, except for the 480 and higher end 3 head naks. none will work as well for playback as one that is playing back at the correct azimuth, this is the most important adjustment. the 480 might be worth it just so you can do this with ease, and the same goes for a 3 head model, except you will get better sound with them.
I owned the Nak 480 a number of years, but the transport eventually gave out. That was with only modest use for about ten to tweleve years. My inclination is to think you can do as well or better with other used pieces from A'gon or maybe even a new mass market machine. Because I seldom use a deck any more, I replaced the expired Nak with a low-priced Sony with remote control, which I use to tape audio from selected TV programs.
I tried in vain to find info on the rs-b85. I'm afraid I can't be of much help on the quality of it, except to say that I have been impressed with the sound quality of some of these technics machines from this vintage. I haven't paid any attention at all to model numbers.
What will end up I think being the deciding facter I think is whether or not you are able to optimize the azimuth and do it easily. One think I should mention is that on at least one new technics deck it left the factory with it's azimuth so far off you could visually see it. So note that it may not only be horrendously off, but so could the deck that the tapes were recorded on. (this problem of the azimuth being off on decks from the factory is not unique to technics, and is actually more common than not on mass market decks).
When the azimuth is off, the highs roll of at an accelerated rate, the phase characteristics kill the depth, and the sound becomes dull and congested. If you are using dolby, the problem multiplies as the dolby playback is then trying to recreate the sound of something that is out of phase with what was recorded.
I would suggest trying to find the azimuth adjustment screw on your deck, it is the adjustment that controls the head's angle in relation to the tape travel, the head should be at a perfect 90 to the tape. you should not be able to see any error, but you might be able to identify which screw would be able to adjust it. Play a tape, and listen to it as you turn the screw. take care to note the position of the screwdriver, so you can get back to where you started if you have to. count how many turns or half turns you make in each direction as you hear the sound degrade, and then count the turns to the middle of that. I highlhy recommend having a pencil and paper handy as you do this to keep track. write down where you are at in relation to your starting point as well. This is the laymans way to do this. It works, you just have to be careful enough as you do it to keep track of where you are at.
If it seems to complicated on the technics machine, then the 480 would be a worthwhile way to go. It has toothed gears on the adjustments, so you can count the 'clicks' as you go. It is also clear which one is the azimuth adjustment.
The azinuth adjustment really is the most important one, and the deck that plays with the correct adjustment will always outperform any that is out. The nak dragon, the king of all naks, actually continually adjust it's azimuth automatically. the dr-1 has a nob for the user to adjust by ear. Some of the older nak's, the 680's self adjust the record head to match the play head. Note that for playback, it is not ideal to be at perfect adjustment to the tape travel, but to match perfectly the head to what is recorded on the tape.
Good luck.
I could not find the azimuth adjust on the Technics and neither could the technician at the hi-fi store. We both listened to both decks playing the same tapes. We both thought the Nak sounded better especially in the highs. He showed me how to adjust the azimuth on the 480. I ended up trading the Technics and paying $80 for the Nak. He also cleaned the heads for me.
Thanks for all your input.

Many of you have been asking what the state of the leaderboards will be when the HD Remaster of Grandia is eventually released. This thread is here to address everything that has been asked and talked about.
Firstly, this version of the game will have its own category. As with what will happen with the Switch and PC versions of the game will have to be discussed further down the line as the game has not been released yet. This is the current consensus as of right now and our community is on board with it. As for what will be the main category, it might be still be the original PS1/SS version of the game. This is not a final decision though as this could change later on. I'd like to imagine the board will be like FFX's: they have 3 versions divided up into 3 different tabs with sub-categories being Any%, Nemesis, etc.
Second, we will be placing a 1 week embargo on all speedrun submissions. This will give us time to put any research to what might have been changed in this version as well as giving us the time to actually enjoy the game. During this time, we will be creating an exclusive Discord channel to discuss all the changes and any potential glitch discoveries. It'll also give everyone time who wants to run the game to learn the game, since this game is in no way a blind-friendly speedrun. We will be announcing when the embargo will be over in our Discord server (if you're not in there already, I highly recommend you do so).
Finally, if you have anymore questions, I'd be happy to answer to them. Feel free to DM me on any of my socials or ask in the Grandia Speedrun Discord.
We hope everyone is okay with this decision. We are excited to see people expressing interest in running the game.
Thank you - 30Cents
After months since this post, we just heard an announcement that Grandia HD is still happening. We are still sticking by the decision to put a 1 week embargo on speedruns. Before you start speedrunning, enjoy the game for yourself like we all want to.
Happy adventuring! - 30Cents
YES. This is such good news. Good thing I have a Switch. Hopefully there are plenty of new and awesome features.
It's out for Switch now and Steam version will come out next month. SO much faster and definitely worth speedrunning. The battles especially load up instantly. Only problem so far is that they replaced Mio's "bye-bye" at Sult Ruins with a Japanese voice or something.

Jeff Eggers
Jeff Eggers about leadership, humble heroes and teamwork.
Jeff Eggers on Big Heroes
The definition of a hero can mean many things to many people, and in different contexts.
At work, perhaps it is the charismatic and dynamic CEO who leads the business toward international growth and recognition, or the sales director who just brought in a multi-million dollar contract for the company. In a military context, perhaps it is the team leader who performed a high-risk raid of an internationally wanted fundamentalist group. In my home, my cleaner is placed on a heroic pedestal once a week!
As leaders, we try to inspire and motivate our teams to perform at their highest potential, with greatest efficiency. But how much of that is about being a big hero and leading with flashy chest-beating, loud accolades and save-the-day moments?
In his speech at WORLDWEBFORUM 2017, Jeff Eggers speaks about leadership in a most engaging and inspiring way. Richly peppered with childhood anecdotes, dramatic wartime tales, examples from performing arts and sports, moving tributes to lost buddies and years of experience working in the Obama administration, Eggers spreads gospel on the power of humble heroes.
Drawing an example from nature, Eggers shows how beehives are a natural example of operational performance in an absolute democracy, where all the workers know exactly their job and are entrusted to perform it, without micro-management. Another example is taken from Formula One pit crews, where microseconds can affect the performance of the team's result. In a slowed-down clip, we can see that the 3 second process is a magically orchestrated (read: tirelessly rehearsed) operation where each team member does their role to perfection. The leadership here lies in the preparation and planning.
However these examples are suitable in a predictable, organised world where the variables are few – not the world in which most of us live today. So, the question remains – is it necessary to be a big hero to motivate and inspire your team?
Eggers argues that it is a more fine-tuned version of a hero that is required for leadership of empowered teams. Sure, leaders need to have a charismatic element to pull people towards shared and compelling vision. But remember to strip away the egos, and uncover the competencies and values of your team. Speak in the collective pronoun: US and WE. Humble leaders celebrate and lift their teams.
Whilst serving in the Iraq war, Eggers recognised that he made a misjudged decision and realised he needed to step back and let the highly trained specialists in his team tap their ground training, whilst he organised their safe exit. It is this humility that allowed Eggers to own his infallibility and properly leverage his team to greatest effect. The key difference lies in saying "I will lead us together", as opposed to "I will lead, and you will follow me".
Another point made was that 75% of the time, people quit their bosses rather than their jobs. Assuming we have the right people on the bus, he proposes that our role as leaders is to prepare the team to step up and self-manage at the right time. This means providing tools, support and empowerment. Teams who know what they need to get done, and have the training and experience to execute it properly & efficiently tend to work more collaboratively and efficiently to achieve goals.
But are there times when teams do need superheroes?
Research has shown that following times of crises such as the Great Depression and 9/11, consumption in comic superhero stories have increased. Eggers' theory is that when we see such challenges exceeding our capabilities to overcome those as a society, we feel overwhelmed and look for superhuman qualities in populist properties. In a particularly hilarious slide, Eggers shows that superheroes are the creations of Hollywood….and politics!
To conclude, Eggers shares a deeply personal and moving tale of The 2 Erics: his late best friend and his son. The overarching message is that we are infallible humans and when seeking heroes, we should look to the us, look to the we. In our world of noise and ego pollution our humility and fallibility are strengths that connect us to a stronger community spirit and authenticity to strive towards a shared vision.

STV and QC Teenagers Unite to Raise Awareness About Teen Suicide Issue
November 20, 2018
After a series of suicides sent shockwaves through Queen Creek High School last year, senior Isabella Martinez was compelled to make a difference.
Last year five students in the Queen Creek community committed suicide; four students from QCHS and one from CHS. Schools outside the community also reported multiple suicides. Teen suicide is on the rise and Martinez couldn't just sit back and watch. With the help of her family and friends, she was able to plan and organize "The Sunset Walk."
"The atmosphere of my junior year was just depressing, I thought maybe if a young person like me did something then it would impact students and give them hope," Martinez said.
Approximately 30 people gathered at Freestone Park, on Nov. 9. to show their support for the cause. Together they did a charity walk, had a few speakers share personal testimonies, and released balloons to the sky to show that the fallen wouldn't be forgotten. Being just a student in high school, Martinez couldn't have pulled this off on her own. With lots of behind the scenes work needing to be done, Martinez approached Jeremiah Vigil about a year ago with a plan to help.
"We needed a good approach, she kicked off a fundraiser and raised enough money over the year to hold this event today." Said Vigil.
After fundraising and planning for a year, the wait was well worth it. As the event went on, the unexpected happened. A man sitting with his dog on a bench nearby approached a couple at the event to asked what was going on. It turned out that he was a suicide survivor and was grateful to see what was happening.
"I am blessed to have seen this, a group of kids trying to spread awareness. I've lost 10 friends to suicide in the past four years and it's been hard. Seeing what is happening here is truly amazing."
Some of the participants at the event were there simply to show their support, while others were there because of the direct impact a suicide has had on their life at school or with their family. Paola Andrade is a junior at American Leadership Academy in Queen Creek, experienced suicides throughout her school.
"Some seniors that had graduated committed suicide, which is sad because that's when they start their lives." Said Andrade
Just before the 2017-18 school year began at Combs High School, senior drum major Tyler Hedstrom committed suicide. Current senior Brayden Baker did not know Hedstrom personally, but he did observe how much one suicide impacted a whole school.
"It was devastating dude. When I found out about the news I was like [expletive] this is real," Baker said.
Baker attended not for himself, but as a sign of solidarity for those who were impacted by Hedstrom's death.
"I'm here for the people who knew him. The band kids and his friends. I'm here for them." He said.
With hopes of doing more, Vigil and Martinez know that this walk is just the start of something much larger.
"We want to scale this bigger next year, we hope to invite some bands, bring in counselors, and to have more resources on site so people could know what to do to help others" said Vigil.
As the sun began to set, a group of people gathered with one goal in mind; to change the way we go about in our everyday life. Teenage suicide rate is on the rise and these tragic deaths leave many suffering in their wake. But so many have stood up; people at the event shared encouraging words of advice to those who are struggling but the one piece of advice was reiterated over and over was one of optimism for anyone who is going through a difficult time.
"Never lose hope."

Apple has issued critical security patches for iOS devices and for Macintosh computers to thwart a potential hacker attack that could come remotely via Wi-Fi.
The dangerous vulnerability, called Broadpwn, had been exposed by a security researcher Nitay Artenstein of Exodus Intelligence, who indicated that a malicious hacker could compromise devices through a bug within Broadcom's Wi-Fi chipsets. As long as the attacker is within range, he or she may be able to "execute arbitrary code on the Wi-Fi chip."
Broadpwn is indeed a potentially a serious threat. According to the National Vulnerability Database that is part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology or NIST, Broadpwn gets a 9.8 out of 10, a severity scored dubbed "critical."
The vulnerability also had the potential to attack Android devices; Google issued its own security patch earlier this month. Read the rest of the article

Science is increasingly a team activity, and the size of the teams has been growing. At the same time, there are concerns about an increasing rate of pathologies in science. The growth of team science suggests the need to look beyond individual-level explanations and focus on organizational structures and institutional contexts to explain pathologies in science. Drawing on the literature on organizational pathologies, we argue that division of labor may be a key factor contributing to pathologies in science. Furthermore, we examine the effects of high-stakes incentives and of institutional corruption as additional predictors of scientific pathologies. Using retractions as an indicator of pathologies, and drawing on a matched sample of 195 retracted papers and 349 paired papers that were not retracted, we develop indicators of the division of labor in the team that produced a paper and find that the rate of retractions is higher as the division of labor increases (net of team size). Additionally, we find that high-stakes incentives and institutional corruption are also associated with increased retractions. We conclude with a discussion of the implications of these findings for science policy, in particular for organizing team science projects.

KCSD Receives Patrol Boat Donation
KOSCIUSKO — The Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department is very pleased to receive the donation of a new patrol boat for the department lake patrol program from the Wawasee Property Owners Association and with the assistance of Griffith Wawasee Marina in Syracuse.
Thanks go to both of these fine organizations for their generous, community-minded donation.
This patrol boat was purchased with charitable donations made to the Wawasee Property Owners Association by their membership and considerable discounts by Griffith's Wawasee Marina and outfitted with police equipment by the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department.
The Wawasee Property Owners Association has once again made a lasting commitment to the safety of Wawasee Lake and all citizens that enjoy one of the premier lakes of Kosciusko County with this donation. W.P.O.A. is an organization that seeks to preserve and protect Wawasee Lake. The strategic goals of W.P.O.A. include areas such as boater education and water safety.
The donation was also made possible by a generous discount and the continuing community support of one of this area's premier marinas, Griffith Wawasee Marina in Syracuse. The Sheriff's Department and W.P.O.A. wish to thank Terry and Lisa Griffith and all their dedicated staff for their efforts that made this donation possible.
The boat is a new Boston Whaler Montauk 190 with a 150 Horsepower Mercury outboard engine. The boat is equipped with all the required emergency police equipment and is a fully functioning law enforcement patrol vehicle. While this boat will be stationed at Wawasee Lake, the donation package includes a boat trailer allowing this vessel the ability to respond to any lake in Kosciusko County should an emergency ever arise.
The Kosciusko Sheriff's Department maintains a very active lake patrol program on the largest lakes in the county. The patrol program is a cooperative effort between the local lake property owner associations and the department. Lake patrol deputies patrol the lakes in the county during the summer recreational boating season and are strongly focused on promoting boater safety and education.
The Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department is a charter participant in the Indiana Department of Natural Resources Marine Patrol Assistance Grant. Since 2005 and including the 2018 boating season, the Marine Patrol Assistance Grant has returned $319,000 to the citizens of Kosciusko County for lake patrol efforts. These grants are part of the larger Indiana Department of Natural Resources Lake and River Enhancement (LARE) Grant program which is funded by annual boat registration fees.

Advanced Routing Follow
This article describes more advanced routing features.
Routing: Nodes
A routing graph is made up of segments and nodes. Nodes have five purposes:
- To mark the start and end of a route
- To add intersections to a route
- To add curves to a route
- To add portals connecting different floors or areas
- To create steps in the Meridian-powered app's turn-by-turn directions
Nodes Mark the Start and End of a Route
Every route begins and ends at a node. When a visitor to your location uses your Meridian-powered app to ask for directions from one placemark to another, the app will start from the node closest to the starting placemark and it will end at a node closest to the ending placemark.
The nodes next to the starting and ending placemarks don't have to line up exactly with specific nodes, but they should be close enough to create an accurate route.
Nodes Add Intersections to a Route
On any map, it's common for routes to cross other routes. Nodes can be used to create intersections on your map where segments meet. A node can have any number of segments connected to it. When you move a node, all the segments connected to it will move as well.
Nodes Add Curves to a Route
In addition to creating intersections, many nodes can be used together to create curved or circular routes. Nodes with many short segments can be arranged to form a curved or circular route on your map.
Nodes Add Portals to a Route
Portals are places that connect different floors, such as stairs and elevators, and other areas connected to a location. Any node can be flagged as a portal on your map. Before you can mark a node as a portal on the map, you'll need to add the portal on the Maps > Portals page.
For a node to be a portal the Is Exit checkbox must be checked.
See the Routing: Portals section for more information on how to add a portal to a route.
Nodes Create Steps in a Route
Finally, nodes are used to create steps in a route. These steps are used to create the turn-by-turn directions that will help your visitors navigate from one placemark to another.
The node placement uses the map's scaled distances to automatically create direction hints, such as, "In 200 feet, turn left."
For more information on setting your map's scale, please see Setting the Map Scale.
Routing: Turns
Depending on the angle of the turn, different messaging is presented to the visitor. Here is a chart that shows the angle of turns for each message.
|Turn Angle
|Routing Message
|Less than 45 degrees
|Slight Right
|Between 45 and 109 degrees
|Turn Right
|Between 110 and 178 degrees
|Sharp Right
|Between 179 and 180 degrees
|Turn Around
|Between 181 and 249 degrees
|Sharp Left
|Between 250 and 314 degrees
|Turn Left
|Between 315 and 360 degrees
|Slight Left
Routing Steps Best Practices
You can create as many steps, made up of pairs of exit nodes, on your map as you want, but each step must have at least one non-exit node between each step. The more steps you have on your map, the more turn-by-turn directions your visitors will have to follow. The best practice is to have the smallest number of steps possible for each route, reserving steps for locations where your visitors will have to make decisions about which direction to go.

I love making gifts, and these doorstops are so easy!
This one was made from a cotton duvet set bought from a charity shop, with wadding from freecycle, and cat litter from Aldi.
I love the 70's feel, of the fabric, and it is so bright and cheery.
It has honestly taken me longer to work out how to upload the tutorial to this blog, than to make it!

Based on events in the life of famous explorer Francisco Moreno, Escape from Patagonia is a tale of danger and hardship not dissimilar to a traditional Western. But the plot is "small" and is deliberately playing second fiddle to a visual exploration of Patagonia's nature and landscape.

For the next two weekends, the Vulnerable Children's ministry is teaming up with the Construction ministry at Willow Creek to do a makeover on the visitation room at the D.C.F.S. office in Elgin.
The visitation room is where children and families meet to participate in supervised visits. In some cases, this is the only place a child ever sees their parent(s) and siblings. So as you can imagine, it is a very important place to those children. The room is used on an ongoing basis, but unfortunately is in extreme need of a make-over.
|Before: worn, dirty or unusable furniture.
The construction and design team has prayerfully considered each element in the room to make it a warm, inviting and special place for families to visit. The castle themed room will have new paint and flooring, custom built cabinets, movable seating areas, a custom built toy box on wheels, a dress-up area, a game/coloring area, and a custom built reading throne for all the princes and princesses that will visit.
But we need your help. Due to the poor condition of the current toys and books, we will be replacing them. We have set up an amazon.com "wish list" with the toys and books that are needed, and are asking people to go shopping on line and help us replenish the toys and books. Here's all you need to do:
1. Go to www.amazon.com
2. Click on "wish list" in the top right hand corner.
3. Click on "find a wish list" on the drop down menu.
4. Type in "firstname.lastname@example.com" There you will find about 125 different items to choose from.
The Wish List includes a ship-to address, so whatever item you choose, it can be sent to Doug & Marie Kyllo who will transport all the donated items to the new room.
Donated Amazon.com gift cards are also welcome.
We would be grateful if you would spread the word to your small group, colleagues, family & friends so that we can fill the room with toys and books that will help facilitate positive memories for the children and their parents. Please purchase all donations a.s.a.p. so the room can be finished by August 11th.
Thank you for your consideration.

Guess what?
Today is the one-year anniversary of Almond Butter Binge!
Yep, exactly one year ago today I bought a domain name, posted an awful picture of curried carrot soup (which, actually, tasted incredible). I was looking to be the resource I felt was missing in the blogosphere — a person who doesn't have $500 to spend on a Vitamix, but who wants to stay healthy and feed her body real food.
Today, Almond Butter Binge is redesigned and has 133 recipes for nearly every diet. That won't change. It will always be focused on food that feels good to me, whether that's a super-healthy kale salad today or the best brownies in the whole world tomorrow. I try to keep the recipes gluten-free because I have a lot of friends who are, but really, this blog is about eliminating guilt when it comes to food.
This year, I'm hoping to serve my readers better by:
- Posting more consistently. It's a major goal of mine to post three times a week, every week. You should be able to count on new, delicious recipes every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
- Developing more original recipes. I'd like to bring you more creative, inventive and delicious recipes you can't find anywhere else on the web.
- Providing an easier-to-use interface for readers. I already took a major step toward that last week with a redesign and a self-populating recipe index that is maybe the best thing to happen to me ever.
- Taking more beautiful photos. I take all of my photos on my "dining room" table; what you don't see are the piles of crap blocking my light. I'm working on a better set up for the future, as well as increasing my knowledge of food styling and photography.
If you have ideas for what you'd love to see in a food blog or what would make this blog more useful to you, I'd love to hear them. Thanks, and here's to another great year!
[Oh yeah…and in celebration, here are some amazing macaroons. Inspired by this recipe at Oh She Glows, but modified pretty heavily.]
- For the macaroons:
- 1 1/2 cups plus 3/4 cup flaked unsweetened coconut
- 3 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup almond meal
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- For filling:
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips (Guittard extra dark are what I use)
- 1/3 cup pomegranate arils (if desired)
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or foil, flipped to the dull side.
- In a food processor, blender or mini-chopper, combine melted coconut oil and 3/4 cup flaked coconut. Process until it forms a paste. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine remaining coconut with almond meal and stir. Pour in maple syrup, vanilla, and coconut oil mixture and stir thoroughly, until well-mixed.
- Take batter and roll into balls of about 2 Tbsp each. Place on prepared baking sheets. Use thumb to make an indentation in the center of each.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, checking to ensure you don't burn them. Finished cookies should look dry, not greasy, in the center. Remove from oven and let cool on wire rack until room temperature.
- Meanwhile, melt chocolate until very smooth. Drop melted chocolate in the center of each cookie — about 2 tsp per cookie, but feel free to do more or less. Top with arils.
- Store at room temperature for up to three days.

This week's blog is a preview of the eagerly anticipated opening men's major that is coming up in just under a weeks' time – The Masters 2018. In just under a week, the world's best players will compete for the coveted Masters Green Jacket at the magnificent Augusta National Golf Club.
The Masters is the first major of the year and unlike the others, is held at the same venue – Augusta National Golf Club – every single year which never makes it less exciting as each year, after the conclusion of the tournament, the course is developed further to make it more challenging year after year. Augusta National Golf Club is famous for the fact that it is the home to the Masters. The course is situated in a dream-like setting and it is one of the world's most exclusive golf clubs. Although many of us will never tee up on the 1st hole, we can enjoy watching the best golfers in the world take on this challenging course at The Masters. Even if you haven't managed to get tickets to experience the excitement unfold at Augusta National, you can still enjoy following it from afar.
There are many architects who have contributed to the development of Augusta National including Robert Trent Jones, George Cobb and Jack Niklaus just to name a few. Although keeping a ball in play is not difficult on the course due to the fact that there is no rough, the chipping is difficult due to the very fast greens. There is no doubt that this is a spectacular course and provides a true test of championship golf every year for the world's best players.
In the last 30 years, international golfers have won The Masters 16 times and previous winners have included the brilliant Nick Faldo in both 1989 and 1990, Ian Woosnam in 1991, England's Danny Willett in 2016 and most recently, Spain's Sergio Garcia last year. There has been some excellent golf played by European golfers in the last few weeks and hopefully, this is a sign to come that they will prove a stern challenge at Augusta next week. Rory McIlroy will find himself in the limelight next week at Augusta due to his excellent golfing performances recently including at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. McIlroy is a four-time major champion and just needs a win at The Masters in order to complete the career Grand Slam which is sure to mean that he will feel some of the extra pressure next week on the course.
For the first time since 2015, Tiger Woods will be teeing up at the 1st hole at Augusta National for The Masters. Woods is back and ready to take on the younger talent that has qualified for this brilliant golf tour. What is great about The Masters, is that there are professionals and amateurs playing and it is a chance for newcomers to make a great first impression on the spectacular Augusta National course.
Every year, golfers young and old anticipate their chance to tackle the Augusta National course, whether it is four-time winner Tiger Woods or one of the special invitees such as Shubhankar Sharma who is a 21-year old from India, everyone is looking to compete for the Masters Green Jacket and show their best game this time around. There is a lot of talk about Tiger Woods' return to Augusta National and Woods is sure to provide some golfing entertainment with his return that will be unforgettable.
Last year's winner of the coveted Masters Green Jacket, Sergio Garcia, is ready to return to Augusta National next week to try and defend his title and keep the Green Jacket but there are many newcomers and other seasoned professional golfers for him to compete with this year, such as Tiger Woods. Sergio Garcia may have only one major golfing championship, which was The Masters last April, but he is sure to prove excellent competition to all of the other golfers at Augusta National Golf Club next week.
We hope that you have enjoyed this week's blog and that even if you didn't manage to get tickets with one of the fantastic Golf Escapes packages that we offered, you will still enjoy following these exciting few days of golf. If you didn't get tickets to August this year, we highly recommend that you think about it for 2019…

The best recipes are created by accident! A couple of weeks ago I decided I liked olives. I'm sure you can appreciate how shocking it was for a lifelong olive hater to crave these salty little goodies. I splashed out on a big tub of basil and garlic olives and roasted vegetables and then had to figure out how to use it. A quick search through the kitchen gave me the ingredients for this colourful tortilla salad.
½ red pepper
½ green pepper
½ yellow pepper
2 spring onions
Half an avocado
A few handfuls of tortilla chips
1) Chop the spinach roughly and rinse
2) Dice the peppers and avocado
3) Chop the olives, tomato and spring onions
4) Mix ingredients together and add a few handfuls of crushed tortilla chips
It's a very simple recipe and you can add whatever ingredients you would like! I served mine topped with some jalapeno hummus to add a spicy kick.
Are you an olive fan? What do you like to do with them?

Itmaybeyou was putting in the big strides down the centre of the track but it was too little too late with Callow throwing everything at Top Spin on the inside to score by a neck from Itmaybeyou with Music Master in third place a further two and a quarter lengths away."I'm over the moon to get the record," said Callow."I didn't expect to ride this many winners but I have such good support from trainers like Laurie Laxon and Don Baertschiger and from there I guess it has snowballed."I was stoked to get back on this horse (Top Spin). I rode him before for a win back in March and I know how good he is."First up he was always going to go well, so it's terrific to ride win number 85 on him."Callow is now a conservative shoe-in to win the premiership with his nearest rivals being Robbie Fradd (52), Barend Vorster (46) and KB Soo (32), all having the all but impossible task of catching him with 22 meetings left.Jo Adams (SingTC) Media Release Published 28/09/07 # Logged koolcat Group 1 User 26 Posts: 5123 « 2007-Nov-12, 11:20 AM Reply #7 » Racenet Report.Callow sets a new record after recording his 100th winner,well done. # Logged westie Group 1 User 8 Posts: 15035 « 2007-Dec-03, 08:44 PM Reply #8 » Noel Callow is the new Mauritius champion and he was quickly swamped with new-found fans, journalists and photographers alike, who two days ago had never heard of him after wiining the jockey challenge.Singapores champion-elect came to the Indian Ocean island a virtual unknown and will head home with the coveted trophy in his suitcase on Wednesday.

But even then the jockeys had to fight like dervishes for that.And when the trainers pay a fee for insurance on top of their noms & acceptance fees, as pointed out by Richo, it makes the blood boil to find later on that injured jockeys are given very little assistance at all. # Logged Sladey Class 5 User 11 Posts: 55 « 2009-Jan-21, 01:26 PM Reply #15 » King Callow quits SingaporeBrad WatersWednesday, 21 January 2009Top jockey Noel Callow has quit Singapore racing effective immediately and will return to Australia as soon as possible.Callow informed the Singapore Turf Club of his decision to end his highly successful time over in Asia this morning, with his future plans unknown.Callow was a punters favourite in Singapore, being dubbed King Callow when at his best in 2007 and 2008 when the Victorian rode over 170 winners.Callow was no stranger to success in Australia, winning races at the highest level including the 2005 GI Victoria Derby aboard Benicio. # Logged gratlog Group 1 User 5 Posts: 12700 « 2009-Jan-21, 01:28 PM Reply #16 » How is his weight?

I have loved my time here in Singapore, said Callow. Its an outstanding place to live and the racing is great and just getting better all the time. Im going to head back to Australia and take a couple of months off and get myself mentally refreshed and then look at getting my weight back in check. When I get everything sorted out back in Australia I would like to think I could have another attempt at riding here in Singapore.He says the constant battle with his weight has finally taken its toll on him. "I dont think I am doing justice to myself or my mounts the way Im feeling at the moment". He also revealed that recent suspensions had taken their toll on his body and it was getting harder and harder to come back from them.Initially the weather was fantastic, said Callow. But once you acclimatize to the conditions your body actually retains more fluid and it gets harder to lose.Because of that it proves a lot harder to lose weight in the process. # Logged wordedmeat VIP Club Group3 User 216 Posts: 660 « 2009-Jan-21, 05:43 PM Reply #19 » Top notch, Im not the worlds biggest fan of jockeys but i love this bloke, hope he gets his weight and mind right and goes back to carrying those nags over the line (or throwing them) # Logged Sporty VIP Club Group 1 User 359 Posts: 6551 « 2009-Jan-21, 07:12 PM Reply #20 » Fair as im concern he won't be missed in the riding ranks just like group one Gav. # Logged Muppet Central Listed User 171 Posts: 348 « 2009-Jan-22, 09:52 AM Reply #21 » Quality input to this discussion Sporty....u donk # Logged Friar Tuck Guest « 2009-Jan-22, 10:17 AM Reply #22 » Not unexpected from a jealous ex jock KL. # Logged Sporty VIP Club Group 1 User 359 Posts: 6551 « 2009-Jan-22, 02:11 PM Reply #23 » Gee Girls what took ya so long . # Logged Muppet Central Listed User 171 Posts: 348 « 2009-Jan-22, 03:47 PM Reply #24 » jealous Ex Dud more like itriding trackwork at the Gold Coast doesnt really qualify you as a full on jockey does it ?....more a rider in my opinion... # Logged BACK TO ALL TOPICS Print Search Pages: 1 2 3 4 Go Up « previous next »

HE WAS a young, fit party animal with everything to live for. But popular Paul Hurst was killed by a fatal illness he never even knew he had.
The seemingly healthy barman died without warning in his bed after a night out with friends.
And a post-mortem has now revealed that the 23-year-old was killed by a serious case of pneumonia.
Today Paul's mum Sheila, who is still struggling to come to terms with his sudden death, has spoken of her shock after discovering her beloved son had a serious illness she did not even know about.
"I honestly just can't believe it," she said. "When I found out how he died I was so upset I just cried and cried. In this day and age to die of pneumonia is just totally ridiculous. And I'm totally, totally gutted that he died of something that could have been treated."
Paul, of Walker, Newcastle, was found dead at home, in July.
The larger-than-life character lived to party and have a good time so his family thought nothing of it when he failed to get out of bed one morning after a night out with his mates.
But when Sheila, 54, and her husband Norman, 56, eventually entered their son's room, they were faced with a sight that will haunt them for the rest of their lives.
They found their beloved son had died in his bed.
The family have waited four months for the results of a post-mortem and toxicology tests to discover how Paul died.
And they have been tortured by rumours going around their estate that Paul had hanged himself, or died from taking a drugs overdose.
But while Sheila is relieved that the gossips can finally be silenced and her son's name has been cleared, she is devastated that Paul was suffering from acute bronchial pneumonia, without anyone knowing.
"I knew my son didn't take drugs," she said. "He was an open book. What you saw was what you got. In my heart of hearts, I knew from day one it wasn't drugs, but when you hear all these rumours going round it does give you doubts.
"But I should never have doubted him. He hadn't even been drinking that night. The tests showed that all he had was one and a half cans of lager in his system. He and his friends were all skint so they had just shared three cans.
"They have told us that the type of pneumonia he had kills you within six to 24 hours, but if we had known he might have had a fighting chance.
"If I had known how ill he was I would have been able to keep an eye on him that night.
"He did have a bad chest that day but he just thought his hayfever was bad."
To Sheila, Paul was more like a best friend than a son.
He lived for his friends, family, music, and Newcastle United, and was always the life and soul of the party, living every day to the full.
Paul loved nothing more than wild nights out with his friends. But he was also a family man who spent a lot of time with his parents and sisters Donna, 34, and Gemma, 24.
After a pathologist concluded that Paul died of natural causes, Sheila and her family have told the Newcastle coroner that they are content not to have an inquest into his death.
But they say they are left with many unanswered questions and have been trying to find out as much as they can about pneumonia in an attempt to understand how he died.
"We have been reading about acute bronchial pneumonia on the internet," Sheila said. "They call it the 'old man's friend' because a lot of old people tend to slip away in their sleep. But Paul wasn't an old man. He was a 23-year-old with everything to live for."

The natural paradise of Suncheonman , sanctuary for birds ( South Korea )
Suncheonman Bay , also known as Suncheon bay was the first coastal estuary included on the Ramsar list ( list of wetlands of international importance ) in January of 2006.
The Bay is known for its 39 km of coastline, its reedbed of 54,2 km² and become the refuge for migratory birds such as cranes, monk, the Sardinian spatula or Swan. Half of all varieties of Korean birds live here, including rare and endangered species, Suncheonman Bay is known for attracting the largest number of rare birds of the world.
This natural reserve is located in the region of Jeollanam-do , to the South of Korea South. It can be explored in different ways, for example a foot, touring the trails enabled to effect, making this tour a unique experience outdoor. You can also tour other paths with a small train or boat.
This trekking routes are various and well indicated, It is impossible to Miss. In various summits of the routes there are checkpoints where you can eat a good bowl of noodles and where to report and sold raincoats.
The South Koreans they love sport, they take advantage of the weekend to go for a walk in nature. Eat healthy and enjoy nature in their spare time represents one of the pedestals of Korean culture. This is due in part to the stressful working life of the population, chipboard especially in big cities.

The avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE in steep, windloaded terrain. 12-16 inches of snow fell over the last 48 hours with strong winds forming dense windslabs on leeward slopes. Human triggered avalanches are likely on steep, windloaded slopes. In steep, sheltered terrain, loose snow and storm slab avalanches are possible SE, S and SW aspects are harboring slick, buried sun crusts which the new snow is not bonding to. Below 7000 feet the avalanche danger is MODERATE in wind protected terrain.
Winds out of the South, Southeast and Southwest have been hammering the West Central for the last 3 days. Wind gusts have been in the 40-60 range on the higher peaks and ridges with sustained winds in the 20+range. Tamarack Resort clocked wind speeds in excess of 40 mph for a large portion of the day on Thursday. The avalanche danger on wind loaded upper elevation terrain is enough to merit conservative terrain choices on all wind affected slopes. These strong winds have done a great job loading and crossloading slopes on East, North and West facing aspects. Windslabs range from very stiff to soft today and from a few inches to over a foot thick. Some of these windslabs formed on the crusts that developed during our last high pressure. Look for clues like cracking and collapsing as well as other obvious signs of windslab like a textured or scalloped snow surface or pillows and drifts as you are moving through the mountains today.
After the 2 week high pressure we had a variety of old snow surfaces throughout the mountains. The new snow over the last few days fell on slick crusts and melt freeze crusts as well as old wind slabs and some areas of faceted snow. On most East and Northerly aspects the crust has already broken down or the wet snow at the beginning of the storm cycle is bonding to the old snow surface below. South and West aspects are showing less bonding on a more stout and slicker crust. Mid slab instabilities within the new snow are also present and can be found easily if you do a quick hand shear test or take a couple of minutes to dig into the snow. Several weak layers are present within this new storm slab. Quick tests like sled or ski cuts above a skin track or lower sled track will show you exactly how the new snow is bonding to itself. Also, on steeper slopes, expect dry loose avalanches or sluffs as the lighter density snow near the surface starts moving with you or your sled. Sluffs and storm slabs can quickly entrain more snow once triggered and can easily knock you off your skis or steer a skier or sledder into areas or features where they don't want to go.
We are still finding, what will likely be a permanent fixture in our snowpack for the rest of the season: buried surface hoar. Triggering a slab due to this weak layer has become more difficult as the overlying snow continues to gain strength but we cant ignore it. We are still finding this weak layer in upper elevation wind protected terrain. Pit results and stability testing point toward less likelihood of triggering, but if triggered we are still talking about a potentially unsurvivable hard slab avalanche. Take the time to carefully assess terrain choices on the north half of the compass today and throughout the rest of the season. This layer is especially dangerous in areas where the snow cover is thinner which allows the buried surface hoar to be closer to the surface, and in turn more reactive---especially for snowmachines. This is the same layer that was the cause of the fatal avalanche on January 31st. A persistent,deep weak layer such as this is a low probability, but HIGH CONSEQUENCE scenario.
Thanks to everyone that came out for last night's backcountry film festival. Great crowd, cool flix! Proceeds benefited the FPAC and the McCall Winter Sports Club.
We traveled in the Fisher and Little French Creek Drainages yesterday and found wind affected snow on multiple aspects. Strong South winds were hammering the mountains and the snowpack throughout most of the day. The result was very stiff windboard( hard snow) on South and East Aspects with large drifts growing across the fall lines on the East aspects. On the Northerly terrain, we found a mix of stiff windslab and relatively soft windslab ranging in depth from a few inches to over a foot thick. The top layer was reactive to ski cuts and small cornice bombs and once we got off the ridges it skied well. The best snow is lower down in protected areas and down low in the northerly terrain. In addition on lower elevation steep slopes we found plenty of soft snow(dry/loose avalanches) moving around as we skied through short steep sections. The photo below shows the wind affect on a West facing slope near Fisher Saddle. Note the scalloped shaped drifts across the slope.
The NWS forecast is calling for scattered snow showers today throughout the West Central Mountains. A few more weak pulses of precipitation will move through Sunday night and into early next week. Temperatures are expected to be a few degrees above average and will continue climbing through the week next week. The snowline will hover between 3000 and 5000 feet with the precipitation on Sunday night. Winds will be generally light out of the Southwest over the next few days.
This avalanche advisory is provided through a partnership between the Payette National Forest and the Payette Avalanche Center. This advisory covers the West Central Mountains between Hard Butte on the north and Council Mountain on the south. This advisory applies only to backcountry areas outside established ski area boundaries. This advisory describes general avalanche conditions and local variations always occur. This advisory expires at midnight on the posted day unless otherwise noted. The information in this advisory is provided by the USDA Forest Service who is solely responsible for its content.

When buying a vehicle (whether new or even used), it often happens that we do not have sufficient funds for a cash payment.
We must therefore use bank credit to finance this purchase. We will first show you the different types of credits that can be used in this case and then we will discuss the importance of comparing the offer to you.
Finally, we will give you some tips to determine which is the best auto credit for you.
What are the different types of auto credit available to you?
Classic car credit
As its name suggests, this is a credit used exclusively to finance the purchase of a vehicle (car or motorcycle mainly). The advantage of such a solution remains that refunds start only from the reception of the vehicle.
Similarly, in case of non-delivery or defective vehicle, the car loan will be automatically canceled.
Be careful, however, processing times are a little longer than for a more traditional loan and the rate is often higher than for other types of loans.
The personal loan
This is a loan for which you will not have to justify the use of the loan amount. It will therefore allow you to borrow more than the purchase cost of the vehicle.
It is therefore much more flexible than a car loan. However, it will not protect you against a defect on the vehicle and you will then be obliged to repay it entirely.
The balloon credit
This type of credit is more suitable for people who regularly change vehicles. Indeed, it is a partial refund of the value of the vehicle.
In other words, it is possible, as soon as the loan is repaid in its entirety, to definitely buy the vehicle.
Some reminders about credits
In order to obtain more interesting rates and if you have the possibility of course, make a contribution before making your dealings with banks.
Never forget that a credit commits you to the lender! Be careful also to the phenomenon of over-indebtedness, make sure that the monthly payments of all your credits in course never exceed 40% of your incomes.
Why compare auto credit offers?
Auto credit must be considered as a consumer product. Therefore, do not hesitate to compare the offers of different banking institutions.
Especially since they sometimes carry out promotional campaigns on their financial products. For an individual, it is of course impossible to be aware of all the offers available in this particularly active market.
Fortunately, two solutions are available to him to obtain all the necessary information: the broker and online comparators.
How to compare auto credit offers?
Use the services of a broker
A broker accompanies you during all your steps to obtain a credit. Its main added value is when it negotiates with banks the interest rates of your future credit.
He very often gets great results. Of course, his intervention is not free and you will have to pay for his services.
Online comparators
On our site, you will have access to the various offers of the moment to compare all the car loan offers available to you. Indeed, the majority of the banks communicate to them all of their promotions in real time.
This is a free tool that you can use alone at any time of day and night. It also allows you to get a first idea of how much you can borrow.
Its mode of operation is extremely simple. You indicate the amount you want to borrow, you specify some are your income and the site offers several offers related to your criteria.
You will also be able to know what will be the amount of your monthly payments and the total duration of the loan. If any of the proposals made by the site interests you, you will be put in touch with the bank in question.

Mimi and Papa were in town until Monday so we got to spend lots of time with them throughout the weekend. We didn't do too much. On Saturday we hung out at home while Papa and Aunt Theresa got their tattoos. We hung out for a while and then Mimi, Papa, Noah, me and Izabel all went to Captain George's for dinner. It has a huge seafood buffet with all of our favorites. Izabel ate a little of everything and loved it! I have never seen her eat so much! Then we went back home to watch a movie where we all fell asleep again! On Sunday we had Aunt Ann over and we had a nice big breakfast which the men actually cooked for us! We had waffles, potatoes, eggs, and bacon. I think Izabel was still full from dinner the night before but the rest of us enjoyed it. Then Aunt Ann and Mimi went to do some more shopping and the rest of us stayed to get the Christmas tree up! We got the tree up and decorated and the outside lights up. All of the boxes are down from the attic but it will take me a few days to get through the rest of the stuff. I am going to get rid of a lot of our old stuff since we have started getting new nicer decorations. Then the day after Christmas I am going to go get the last couple of things that we need to really be prepared for next year! The rest of the day we watched football and ordered in for dinner. We had lots of desserts in the fridge to enjoy and we enjoyed our last night together. We said goodbye before we went to bed but it's not for long because Mimi and Papa will be back on the 20th for their next visit!!!

CNRG Among the100 Sparks of Hope to Commemorate NelsonMandela's Centenary
Today, the 18th of July, Nelson Mandela would have turned 100!
Today in Johannesburg the Elders, in partnership with Sparks of Hope will honor one hundred organizations from around the world whose work advances the ideals and goals of equality and human dignity pursued by Nelson Mandela. We are very much humbled that Centre for Natural Resource Governance (CNRG) was selected to be a Spark of Hope whose story will be told by The Elders. We feel delighted for this recognition in honor of a freedom icon who, though departed, continues to speak to the world through his phenomenal struggle for human dignity.

CNRG joins the rest of the world in celebrating the life and work of Nelson Mandela and we will continue to honor him through our struggles against resource looting and violence in the Zimbabwe's extractive sector and indeed as part of global movements fighting the same. We remain strong and resolute in our struggle to ensure that natural resources contribute towards the attainment of sustainable development goals on the African continent as opposed to financing conflict, bad governance and fueling illicit financial flows.
