About Us
Over the years the Groves family and KM Construction (North Wales) Ltd have become synonymous within the civil engineering and building world, a benchmark for excellence and never opposed to meeting the needs of an ever-demanding industry.
Over thirty years ago directors Kenneth Groves and his wife Barbara formed KM Construction in St Asaph and began a main core business which encompassed civil engineering and building contracts which have proved the launch-pad to an even wider portfolio.
Early contracts were an indication of the company's future success. From the maintenance contract for Shell UK on the North Wales Pipeline, Anglesey to Stanlow, to the provision of terracing at Hedingley Rugby Stadium in Leeds, KM cut its business teeth for bigger things to come. Now with the management and expertise KM has firmly established themselves as a leading building and civil engineering contractor. With expansion has come changes and diversity.
As time progressed our list of clients became more than just impressive; Welsh Water, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Conwy, Wrexham County Councils, Honeywell, Qioptiq, BHP Billiton, The Welsh Assembly Government, NHS Trusts, to name but a few – all recognising the quality, reliability and expertise to be found at KM Construction. We are registered with Construction Line, are members of the Civil Engineering Contractors Association, Quality Assurance certified to ISO 9001, BS5888 Environmental Accreditation and SSIP approved.
The management team, led actively by Kenneth and Barbara and their senior estimator and manager for over 25 years, Glyn Jones, has been joined by sons Andrew (Engineer), Christopher, (contracts manager) and Michael, (manager, KM Environmental Ltd). Also maintaining the family theme, twin brothers Jim and John Groves, both site foremen of the company, sharing between them over 80 years experience in the industry.
Ever mindful of the need to encompass within its many services and environmental element, KM's parent company had already instigated a policy of reprocessing and recycling. With government and local authority directives encouraging the recycling of materials, KM decided the time was ripe to put into operation a scheme to relocate the recycling centre to new premises adjacent to the A55 between St Asaph and Rhuallt.
As the construction industry in general, building companies and local authorities face reduced tipping facilities, lack of recycling centres and more aggregate, quarry and tip taxes, the need for additional alternative solutions are essential. Extensive research by KM and with the knowledge of their own problems and those of others in the construction industry, the solution was clear. Offer modern facilities to take in materials to be graded and crushed into useable hardcore for sale back to the industry.
Now KM Environmental Ltd, under the personal management of Michael Groves, is offering a range of facilities backed by new, latest technology crushers and screeners. For KM Environmental Ltd and it's parent company the future remains high profile, committed also to a business future which goes hand in hand with expansion and a policy of providing environmentally friendly services.

In one of the biggest fraud cases happen in Indian banking, Punjab National Bank (PNB) informed stock exchanges on Wednesday that it has hit on misappropriation amount up to Rs 11,300 crore at one of its branches in Mumbai. Although the bank did not name any person or company, it had registered a complaint with CBI on January 31 naming billionaire diamond merchant Nirav Modi and a few others in a Rs 280 crore fraud.
The complaint also mentioned his wife Ami Modi, his brother Nishal Modi and his uncle Mehul Choksi, MD of Gitanjali Gems a listed company. Two PNB officials, Gokulnath Shetty and Manoj Kharat, also named.
The Modi family and Choksi are partners in three businesses
The Modi family and Choksi are partners in three businesses.The Enforcement Directorate has also initiated a money laundering case against Modi and his family. The news sent PNB stocks tumbling nearly 10% lower on the Bombay Stock Exchange. Indian banks must put certain stats when anyone applies for a loan.
The fraud is almost eight times the bank's 2016-17 profit and nearly a third of its market cap on Wednesday's closing price. In a matter of a few days, the scale of the fraud has grown from Rs 280 crore to over Rs 11,300 crore.The alleged irregularities not only just affect the PNB, which has shown a sign of recovery in previous months. Fraud also effects the percentage of profit bank of getting.
Financial services secretary Rajiv Kumar said "The finance minister took a proactive step on asking the lender to report the matter to CBI and Enforcement Directorate so that action can take quickly. If these frauds happen will it not affect Indian economy? A Certain rule will be there so that everyone has to follow it does not matter whether he is rich or poor.
If the government want to stop this fraud not only in banks anywhere then put some strict rules and also monitor weather everyone follows it or not and if not punish must be given. It will be universal "one for all". Yes, it will take time to clear loans but for the long term, it will be beneficial for everyone.Hope, Government make certain criteria so that no fraud happen in upcoming future

Still using just one monitor?
Many users have changed from a single to dual monitors and their productivity has skyrocketed. I have a laptop that has two screens – one slides out when I need it. The extra real estate can make a big difference especially if you work with several applications open simultaneously.
As inexpensive as monitors are these days, consider treating yourself and your most productive employees to dual monitor systems. Even if you just try a few users first for a trial, you may find why many organizations swear they will never go back to single monitors for their users again.
2 Comments
I feel naked when I try to work from one monitor now. I run dual 22 in wide screens and it makes my job so much easier. We probably only have half of our people on dual screens, but it is a must for many jobs.
One of our customers uses three monitors, we aren't there…yet.
[…] MONITOR: Get a Touch Screen – That's where the world is going. If you will use the computer at a desk, then you need more than one monitor. Large monitors are inexpensive these days – get one of those. And, no, one large monitor is not a replacement for multiple small monitors. See "Are Your Employees Still Using Single Monitors?" for more information. This is a blog entry where a posting uses the word naked with multiple monitors in the same sentence: "Still Using Just One Monitor?" […]

Project Details
- Brand Discovery
- Tag Line Creation
- Corporate Logo Design
The Challenge:
The client, which sells delicious Maryland Blue Crabs by the way, really just needed a logo makeover and a positioning statement. So this proves two things...
- That we do great design work
- We don't always change the name
I liked Harbour House and so did the client, but their old image looked amateurish and they had no direction in the look and feel of their company. So we went to work to give them the regional/national image they needed. You be the judge. And even if you don't agree, you still gotta try these crabs!!
"I want to thank you for the wonderful work (we are VERY pleased)."

- New legislation came into effect from 1 September 2013 which introduced a new employment status in the UK, that of 'Employee Shareholder'. The legislation will be of particular interest to those working in UK start-up companies (subject to valuation*) and those companies which are backed by private equity, two areas which TMF Group in the UK are very experienced in dealing with, not only from an employee perspective, but also from a general company compliance perspective in relation to company secretarial, accounting and tax compliance matters.
- TMF Netherlands B.V.
- http://www.tmf-group.com
- firstname.lastname@example.com
- http://www.tmf-group.com/en/Media-Centre/News-and-insights/October-2013/New-Employee-Shareholder-status-in-UK-as-from-1-September-2013
The status of employee shareholder comes with large tax benefits:
- the first £2,000 worth of employee shares will not be liable to either income tax or national insurance
- there is a capital gains tax exemption of up to £50,000 on the first disposal of shares acquired via the employee shareholder regulations.
The status of employee shareholder can be attributed to both new employees and to existing employees who agree to alter their status.
Employee shares acquired can be either in relation to the employing company or its parent company, providing that the company is registered either in the UK or abroad or is a Societas Europaeas.
In accepting the status of employee shareholder, the employee will accept a reduction in certain employment rights relating to such things as, but not limited to, the right to request flexible working, the right to receive statutory redundancy and the right to claim unfair dismissal in certain circumstances, for example.
An employer must not force an employee to accept the status of employee shareholder and must also pay for independent legal advice to be given to any employee who is interested in the status, regardless or not of whether the status is ultimately accepted.
In the event that shares are issued to an employee shareholder with a value in excess of £2,000, the excess value will have a reporting requirement either through the payroll (in relation to readily convertible assets – RCA's) or via an employee's personal self-assessment tax return (in relation to non-RCA's). TMF Group UK is able to provide assistance in both areas to ensure compliance for both the employer (in relation to reporting and tax compliance obligations) and the employee in these circumstances. Equally, TMF Group UK is able to assist with the compliance requirements of reporting any taxable capital gains arising.
An employer may consider that the improved loyalty and productivity that can be achieved by introducing employee shareholder status can be equally achieved by introducing other share option schemes which carry tax benefits. TMF Group UK has a very experienced team dealing with the compliance requirements of share schemes who are able to assist employers in this respect.
Please contact the specialist team in the UK to discuss further via email@example.com.

University of Hawaii Press selected Virtusales' fully hosted BiblioLIVE publishing system to manage its publishing operations. From a single web-based integrated system, the UHP will be able to manage the following functional areas:
- Journals management
- Pre-acquisition costing, cost management, and purchase ordering
- Schedule management
- Contracts and rights management
- Automated royalty processing and integrated rights processing
- Permission sales management
- 3rd party rights management
- Editorial, bibliographic, and marketing data management
- Comprehensive reporting
- Digital Asset Management & eBook distribution
Why Virtusales?
"After a lengthy and thorough review of several impressive products with proven track records, including consultations with veteran staff at many peer presses who have found different paths to success in tackling similarly daunting internal challenges, Virtusales emerged as our partner for two primary reasons: 1) The prospect of an end-to-end solution that included modules throughout the life of a project, all the way from pre-acquisition through to royalties, for both books and journals, and 2) a strong consensus at the Press that Virtusales offered the most intuitive and user-friendly interface, with extensive capabilities for customization and reporting for individual users, allowing a single system to work across the organization, yet still be flexible enough for individual needs, now and in the future.
Michael Duckworth, Director of The University of Hawaii Press, explains "A key factor in selecting Virtusales was how well our staff responded to not only the functionality, but also the design and layout of the software. We feel confident this positive perception of the system's overall usability is closely connected to Virtusales' frequent new release cycle. It means we have a system that is constantly being upgraded to stay current, which in turn will help ensure that University of Hawaii Press remains up-to-date and positioned for continued growth in an ever-changing and highly competitive publishing environment,"
Rodney Elder, VP of Operations at Virtusales, discusses "We are very excited to start this project with UHP as we really believe that they will benefit from implementing BiblioLIVE. Not all publishers are lucky enough to have everything in a single system but in 9-12 months that is exactly what UHP will have".

I make love lists. These are lists of things I love. My journals are filled with them. I'll spend twenty minutes writing down all the things I love. My elephant lamp, butterflies, puffy clouds, naps, naps on the beach, wildflowers, walks in the woods, my family, my best friend, my boyfriend… you get the idea.
The thing is that when you spend time thinking about all the things you love, all the things you are grateful for, it changes the way you look at things. A lot of people focus on what bothers them when they are surrounded by so many wonderful things. At first it can be hard to come up with things you love. This is because you haven't practiced it. Like anything the more you do it the easier it becomes.
We all love things. We may not realize it. We don't spend a lot of time thinking about all the things we love. We probably should. When you know what you love it helps you choose to fill your life with these things. It's easier to make the right decision because at a deeper level you know what you enjoy. I love to sleep. I love a soft breeze. I love long, hot baths. I love soft towels. I love to feel beautiful. I love a comfortable pair of shoes. I love deep conversations. I love dogs. I love adventure.
I can slip into making a list of the things I love quite easily now, but it wasn't always like this. I use to do a lot of casual complaining. This is when you talk about things that you don't like with other people and use it to connect. It's actually rather prevalent in our society. We complain about our jobs, co-workers, kids, spouses, parents, politicians, we commiserate over bad customer service, or a horrible waitress, we complain about how dumb everyone is, when in fact we all have moments where we appear dumb to strangers.
It's so common to complain that when someone doesn't complain they get labelled as a "positive" person. Like they just don't understand and have special rose tinted glasses. In fact, people will causally complain with others about how positive someone is, sometimes in front of the positive person. The thing that if you really talk to the positive person you'll tend to find they have overcome some trauma or crisis in their life and they made a conscious choice. They chose to become a force for love. They understand all too well and they've earned those rose tinted glasses.
There are hundreds of things that I love. There may be hundreds of things that make me sad, but why would I spend time thinking of all those things, all this does is make me anxious. I've been down this path. It did not leave me a healthy, happy person or a more prepared for anything that occurred in my life. I did the whole casual complaining and it brought little benefit to my life. I may have connected with people, but it was an empty, unfulfilling connection.
I still sometimes find myself drawn into a conversation of casual complaining, but I have also set the intention to be aware of it. Often if a conversation wanders into the area of casual complaining I will redirect the conversation. I may very well ask a person to tell me about some of the things they love. It tends to throw people off, yet if they do play along we will often find something to connect over which we love. And that brightens my day, and hopefully theirs.
I'm all for brighter days. I'm all for encouraging people to shine. I'm all for a world that chooses love. I suggest you try it. You don't need to write it down although that's always fun. You can do it on your commute. You can do it with your whole family as you head to some event or sit on the back porch. Give it a try and see how it changes the energy in your life.

Artwork and Text is original creation by the author of Ponytail Mama.
It has taken me years to accept a societal truth that it is okay for me to take time for myself instead of giving every little bit of me, squeezed out and wrung dry, to my children and everyone else who's asking. It's only been recently, however, that I no longer feel guilty (mostly) taking that time, and so it was with zero guilt a couple of nights ago that I skipped out on making dinner, taking the opportunity instead to read a book on our porch swing. My gosh, it was glorious. And uplifting. It was uplifting!
It was the first cool evening we have had in weeks. The air held just enough moisture to conjure up feelings of being surrounded by ancient giant redwood trees, though in reality I was surrounded by commuters (aka my neighbors) pulling into their driveways. Most significantly, although my children were running around the neighborhood with their friends, I did not feel anxious or worried or stressed; I only felt peaceful. A rare all-encompassing feeling as a 2019 parent!
I read my book, but I also lazily swung on the swing with my eyes closed, inhaling and feeling the outdoors in my very bones. I was cognizant of taking the moment in because I find that as a grownup, these moments are too few and far between. One of my goals as an experienced adult is to tilt the balance of this scale so that my experiences of inner peace become more frequent than the anxious ones.
PSA: Fret not. I ordered pizza for dinner so no appetites were harmed during the making of my peace.
PSA: I ordered pizza for dinner so no appetites were harmed in the making of my peace.
Thirteen months ago, I began an affair with the Frenchman down the street. Unfortunately, not only does his wife not know about it, he does not know about it! You see, quite a while ago I gave up Starbucks. It just wasn't giving me the warm fuzzies that I think it was meant to give. Additionally, after performing multiple scientifically inauthentic tests, I feel quite certain that all that fake syrup flavoring was making my skin break out! As a 40+-year-old woman who fancies herself a MILF but is really more of a Cougar who probably is really only viewed as a Tired Mom, I had to give it up! With all the other madness at this stage of life, who wants to deal with acne?!
The Frenchman, on the other hand — he mixes his coffee with homemade chocolate ganache that fills my heart with Parisian joy. Yet still, he does not know how I love thee. Or is it thou? It might just be him. Oh, how I love him and his chocolate ganache. And so it was that one day, while sipping my Mocha, I commented to my husband that I felt the Frenchman should know my name for all of the money I spend in his café on a weekly basis. It was a comment borne of my ego and then forgotten. Seven days later, I stood in his crowded shop waiting for that silky, dark chocolatey, bittersweet mocha, when Monsieur Ganache looked at me from across the room and was very quickly standing in front of me. "Are you waiting for something?" he asked in his very intoxicating French ox-cent. Yes. "What did you order? I will get it for you." Thank you. I only ordered a Mocha. I come here almost every day for my Mocha (subtle, right?). And then! "Ah, if you are here every day, then I should know your name!" YES YOU SHOULD! I wanted to exclaim, but did not. I politely gave him my name; we shook hands; I praised his lovely drink; we parted as lifelong friends.
Since then, I have been in at least a million times. It is clear he has no recollection of my name and I am fairly certain he also does not recognize me. But his ox-cent is beautiful and his Mochas are amazing so the affair continues. Ahhh, c'est la vie in Suburbia.
"Angel, you have so much potential," said everyone I ever met before I was thirty years old. Words that once lifted my spirits and made me think to myself yes! you are right! I am destined for greatness, and you, great giver of self-esteem, you see it! Through the years, however, those same words would cause me to hang my head in shame; discomfort; embarrassment at my own lack of awesomeness.
I had troubled relationships and rarely felt like I belonged anywhere. I got by, but I always felt unfulfilled. It was following the birth of my first son that things really started to deteriorate. I was heartbreakingly unhappy. At a time when I should have felt joy and gratefulness, I often only felt stuck. Worse than that, I felt trapped – like a wild animal locked in a cage, roaring for the great wonders that I knew lay beyond my domestic confinement.
Thankfully, my husband begged me to go to counseling with him. It wasn't easy for me to do. Along with pride, I was also in full-blown, feet-planted, onmywayoutthedoor, just-another-wrong-relationship mode. What helped me move my feet to his wishes was simple: I remembered that I had loved him dearly. I remembered that what led to our marriage was that we liked each other so very much. We were truly friends and we had a baby together. I knew better than to just walk away from that.
This next moment is pivotal: during our second visit with the counselor, she interrupted my speaking and asked me if anyone had ever suggested that I had ADD. I laughed out loud and so did my husband. Obviously, but not reeeeallly! "Seriously," she said and recommended that I read Driven to Distraction by Edward Hallowell. Reading it the next day, I cried as I realized I wasn't quirky, but apparently just another diagnosis. Genetically or environmentally or experience induced, I may never know, but I've been working through that discovery for almost thirteen years.
Frustrating, yes, but also incredibly helpful. Understanding the root of my shortcomings was discouraging at first, but it has since become liberating. I have adopted a phrase that I heard Oprah Winfrey repeat multiple times during one of her SuperSoul podcasts: "When you know better, you do better." It also helps that I have a compassionate husband. The friendship and mutual respect that we started with, followed by our desire to put in the effort to retain our relationship has served to bring us closer. I feel emotionally safe with him, so about once a year, when I feel unable to sort through the clutter of my mind, I tell him. He kindly dismantles the teetering piles I have somehow built around the house and we move on.
As I enter a new phase of my life (more about that later), I intend to continue to grow and learn and live the life that I have always imagined – without the baggage of guilt and resentment that ADD often fosters. Make no mistake, I do get distracted and I can be inconsistent. I am sharing this because I recognize that I am not the only person in this world who feels this way: sometimes sad, sometimes angry, sometimes SO CREATIVE, sometimes so incapable of stringing two thoughts together in a cohesive manner. I am hopeful that as I make my way on my continued journey toward personal inner peace, you will find comfort and inspiration as you venture forth on yours as well.
Good luck! And hey, remember that having ADD has its up sides. This page took me hours to write, but only because I've been successfully multitasking. Yay! It's one of those days!

How to Handle a Mortgage After Divorce
Divorce can be complex and certain steps need to be taken so that both you and your departing spouse can both go on with your lives. Finding a strong divorce attorney will help you navigate all the complexities of a divorce.
One of the complex issues during a divorce is property settlement. Property settlement is never fun. It can be complex when you are dealing with real estate. One way to deal with a mortgage when you are getting divorced is by refinancing so the mortgage is only in one person's name.

I am going to make an attempt to participate In Nancy Merrill's photography challenge for 2017. You can read about the challenge here. Basically, she comes up with a theme and posts a photo that she think fits the theme on each Thursday. My task(as well as others following her meme) is to interpret her theme and post a photograph that I think fits the theme before the following Thursday, when a new theme is started.
This week's theme is "Two Materials". I think that this photo, which I took yesterday, fits the theme well, with the 2 materials being Glass and Steel. It is a reflection of a steel hydro substation and a glass and steel pedestrian ramp in the glass wall of a Rapid Transit Station.
Linking to Nancy's blog here.
And since it is a reflection, it works well for this Friday's Weekend Reflections too! Linking to Weekend Reflections here.

Acquired: Other (stray, given cat by friend etc.)
Gender: Male
United States
Posted May 21, 2015
Mr. Lister showed up at my apartment as a stray when he was a kitten, and it didn't take him long to make himself at home, although at first he was very skittish. He is still skittish around strangers, but when it's just us at home, he rules the roost.
Mr. Lister was a fast learner and knew how to use the litter box as soon as we provided one for him. He rarely has accidents or purposely goes outside of his box, and on the rare occasion that he does, it's usually because he's mad (typical cat behavior.)
He is very vocal and lets you know the moment his food dish is running low. He likes to climb on the counter next to the kitchen sink, but he doesn't jump on it or climb on other countertops or tables. He spends most of his time sleeping, although he does like to play in the evening. He can be aloof but he can also be loving, often sitting on my lap while I watch TV (and sometimes sitting on my laptop keyboard when I'm trying to work!) He is very neat and grooms himself, and has minimal shedding. Usually brushing him with a cat brush helps to remove excess fur.
I have owned many shorthair cats over the years, and they are by far my favorite breed. I would be lost without my cat!

Description Hide Description- Show Description+
Meet Anne Lister, the 18th Century landowner, industrialist, explorer and lesbian, and your new feminist icon. Examining the diaries that inspired the major new eight-part BBC One drama starting Suranne Jones (Doctor Foster) and created, written and directed by Sally Wainwright (Last Tango In Halifax, Happy Valley).
'There are more ways than one of being happy... I am living proof of this.'
Anne Lister was remarkable. Fearless, charismatic and determined to explore her lesbian sexuality, she forged her own path in a society that had no language to define her. She was a landowner, an industrialist and a prolific diarist, whose output has secured her legacy as one of the most fascinating figures of the 19th century.
''Gentleman Jack - The Real Anne Lister'' follows Anne from her crumbling ancestral home in Yorkshire to the glittering courts of Denmark as she resolves to put past heartbreak behind her and find herself a wife. This book introduces the real Gentleman Jack, featuring unpublished journal extracts decrypted for the first time by series creator Sally Wainwright and writer Anne Choma.
Authors: Anne Lister, Anne Choma, with a foreword by Sally Wainwright

It's a long time since I last wrote in my blog. Every student in HEDCen agrees to the reason that we're so busy with our school activities. We're also very busy with our Expo project. Combine lots of school activities and projects, and you already know that we don't have time to relax.
All of this hustling and bustling is because our 3rd trimester is our last shot to excel. The 3rd trimester's quite jam-packed with things to do and events.
We're Grade 6, and we're gonna graduate. We have to make sure we have absolutely no delinquencies because if we have any, our clearances won't be signed, then we must either complete them already or we don't graduate. We'll stay in Grade 6 for another school year if we don't graduate.
Another thing we're worrying about is our grades. We have to be exempted in at least any subject because if not, we'll have to take the finals. The finals consist of all of the 3rd trimester lessons and most of our 1st and 2nd lessons! It'll be hard!!!
If we take care of all those things, then all this commotion will die down at the start of summer break. We relax, stay home, have fun, and be crazy.
For those who really love our classmates, it's hard to say goodbye to our good friends who will go to other schools. Any moment could be the last moment together.
Before, when we were still not a graduating batch, we thought that every school year is almost the same. Now that we're graduating, everything would change.
This is the time when we're about to go to high school.
This is the time to show we're ready to graduate.
We have to make the most of our last moments in HEDCen.
We have to use our strengths and weaknesses to our advantage.
It's the time to show our best, and be recognized.
Even if you hate a classmate, someday, you will miss that person a lot.
We are the graduating batch of HEDCen: Grade-6 Armstrong and Hobbes.

MyTake: What We Learned This Week—6/25 to 6/29
In a vacation state of mind.
With the July 4th weekend approaching, this week has been a great time to start planning for traveling. Independence Day lands smack dab in the middle of the week this year, making it a semi-awkward time to take advantage of the holiday and request off from work. However, whether you are packing up at the beginning or the end of the week or simply staying put to celebrate at home, we figured that an easy-to-follow blueprint of July 4th dishes to make ahead of time would be useful. Because getting a jumpstart on you cookout prep this weekend means next week will be smooth sailing, no matter what you've got planned. We also have a few pro-tips on how to navigate everyone's favorite budget grocery store, Aldi, to help you stretch your dollar while buying groceries for the week ahead. Let the planning commence!
For a summer get-together, planning ahead smartly can include pre-slicing veggies, making a homemade barbecue sauce, assembling your pasta salad, and creating an cooling make-ahead-friendly treat for dessert, like an icebox cake or these delightful Blueberry Sorbet "Cupcakes".
If you are hitting the open road, particularly with kiddos, I'm telling you now… pack plenty of snacks. Besides finally arriving at your destination, snacks are the best things about road trips, after all. You can make the typical road trip-friendly snack such as trail mix, granola bars, and popcorn, or be a little extra with Apple-Oat Energy Balls, Homemade Cheddar Crackers, or Almond Joy Candied Bacon. For lengthier drives, it's also not a bad idea to pack a few portable lunches in a cooler in you're hoping to avoid hitting the drive-thru. (Or don't, but if you're sucker for the occasional fast food meal, you definitely need to check out out our copycat fast food sauces… you can make them at home to get the same drive-thru flavor, without all of the weird preservatives and mystery ingredients.) These make-ahead meals will save you money while on the road and help reduce the chance of anyone reaching unbearable levels of hangry.
In case the kids need something fun to play with outside of their smartphones and tablets, take it back old school and make a batch of fun, colored slime. The sticky-stuff is satisfyingly enjoyable in all its low-tech simplicity, and our version is 100% non-toxic. Just be sure to have a large plastic container for the kids to handle the slime over and remind everyone that just because you can eat it, doesn't mean you should.
Now that you've done such a great job of planning ahead for the Fourth, those making a little vacay of the week might also want to think about what you and your family will eat once you get home. (Isn't it weird how adulting seems to constantly revolve around planning what to eat?) Most likely, the plan is gonna be: Work with what you got. Hopefully, you'll have pasta, grains, or bread to at least serve as the base to a meal. Or, you can just grab store-bought pizza dough (taste-test approved) from the store on your way home along with a jar of tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and a few toppings for an easy DIY pizza night.
Pizza is like a reliable friend, and it always saves the day. Therefore, when in doubt, make pizza.

There really is something about Mary.
Accused "cannibal cop" Gilberto Valle told a shrink that his descent into sexual deviancy began after watching Cameron Diaz's big-screen debut when he was a kid, court papers reveal.
Valle, 28, admitted he gets aroused "when imagining women being abducted and bound by others," and tied it to Diaz's supporting role in the hit 1994 Jim Carrey comedy "The Mask," which he saw during his "early adolescence."
The "pattern of arousal appears to have originated with a scene in the movie, 'The Mask,' in which Cameron Diaz pretends to be abducted and bound," Valle's defense lawyers wrote.
In the flick, Diaz — later nomimated for a Golden Globe for her starring role in "There's Something About Mary" — gets trailed by two goons and chased into an alley where she's confronted by villain Dorian Tyrell, played by Peter Green.
Clad in a revealing long black dress, Diaz, playing love interest Tina Carlyle, gets roughly pushed against a wall by Tyrell before being forced into his limo and taken to a casino for the film's climactic scene.
There, she's tied to a coconut tree and a ticking time bomb is placed at her feet. Her arms are strung up over her head and her legs are wrapped to the tree with duct tape, before she's rescued by Carrey's character, Stanley Ipkiss, a k a "The Mask."
Valle's Manhattan federal court filing — which was unsealed following a legal challenge by The Post — also says he discovered Internet porn in high school "and was particularly interested in bondage websites."
But his taste for "cannibalism pornography" didn't develop until his sophomore year of college, when he found some hard-core DVDs that belonged to one of his roommates.
"It was this discovery that led Valle to darker fetish websites, including 'Muki's Kitchen,' which was his gateway into cannibalism pornography," public defenders Julia Gatto and Edward Zas wrote.
"Until that day, the cannibalism idea had not popped into his mind."
Court papers say that "Muki's Kitchen" featured images of "naked pornographic actresses tied up in preparation for being cooked and eaten, usually with an apple in their mouths," and that Valle "was aroused by this."
Valle's lawyers have asked a judge to show potential jurors a photo of a naked, hogtied blonde with an apple in her mouth to help screen out people too squeamish to deal with his "unusual sexual fantasies which involve imagined acts of violence against women."
The disturbing disclosures about Valle's perverted predilections were made in a bid to permit famed forensic psychiatrist Park Dietz to testify on Valle's behalf when he goes on trial next month for allegedly scheming online to kidnap, rape, torture, cook and eat women.
Defense lawyers — who maintain that Valle never intended to act out his fantasies — say Dietz will tell jurors that Valle doesn't suffer from any mental illness "associated with violence" and that he "lacks…risk factors for violence."
In addition to revealing his kinks, Valle — whose wife took their baby daughter and left him after seeing stuff he wrote on her laptop — told Dietz about his relationships with women, which his lawyers said was "remarkable only for the respect he showed his female acquaintances," along with "the absence of premarital sexual relations."
Reps for Diaz and Carrey didn't respond to requests for comment.

QR Codes…Briefly
As you've heard me say many times before, great marketing happens when you get the right message to the right people in the right WAY. QR (quick response) codes are popping up everywhere and seem to be the latest "we're hip" gimmick.
Certainly we are moving into the digital age, where people prefer text to talking and use their phone as an excuse to not talk to one another, but depending on your product or services audience, using a QR code might be a total miss.
Consider the following:
83% of adults own a cell phone – great.
35% of adults own a smartphone – less great.
QR codes require an "app" to be read – getting worse.
QR codes don't always link to mobile-friendly content – boo.
If your audience is a young, smartphone-owning, app-toting someone…consider using them.
And if you do, at least create a location for them to land that is specific to the ad, t-shirt, cup or whatever you've bothered to place the QR code. Remember, QR's aren't just for URLs. Depending on the generator you choose, you can select the code to connect to:
- Website URL
- Telephone Number
- SMS Message
- Email Address
- Email Message
- Contact Details (VCARD)
- Event (VCALENDAR)
- Google Maps Location
- Wifi Login (Android Only)
- Paypal Buy Now Link
- Social Media
- iTunes Link
- YouTube Video
Still want one? Me too.
Simply google "QR code generator" and BAM!, dozens of options.
I like GOQR.Me, because I like simple.
Alright, so now let's take it to the next level.
Apparently these little buggers have about a 30% error correction rate and can be modified a bit to incorporate graphics, colors and slight distortions. Get your QR and push it to its limits…like these:
Designed by CustomQRCodes.com …amazing!

12 Angry White Men (Give or Take)
Recently Portland Commissioner, Jo Ann Hardesty (who also happens to be the first black woman to serve on Portland City Council), released a statement about the white men who shouted her down at a City Hall meeting. She expressed concern over white-male privilege and how their disruptions created a "chilling effect on people who are unaccustomed to coming to our City hall to have their voices heard".
This is why I voted for Hardesty. This is why she was backed by BLM.
As you can imagine, some white men were quite upset about this. It should be noted that these men have made names for themselves. They consistently interrupt meetings causing some to be canceled.
This week, the Willamette Weekly, decided to print some of the emails Hardesty's office received re: her statement. They also decided to include the senders' names.
I am here for it.
Some highlights from the various emails:
What a sexist, racist, misandrist, ignorant thing for you to say. I understand you saying such a thing like that in the privacy of your own home,
but no, you have to "Get Whitey" right up front.
Since historically there has been a precedent set on the exactitude of language, particularly when discussing non-normative dialectics (e.g. black speech), re: rules, grammar, definitions, it seems important here to point out that sexism and racism—like most isms—operate, prima facie, within power structures. Women can be prejudice but they cannot be sexist—for they do not wield the kind of institutionalized power men (i.e. white cis-men) carry in their back pockets. I'm going to be honest, I had to look up misandry. Oxford defines it as a dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against men—the female equivalent of a misogynist. What does that look like? Because misogyny looks like a white male in Florida walking into a bank and shooting five women. Or another white male, still in Florida, walking into a yoga studio and again targeting women. A misandrist? Crickets. Let's all say it together: Men are afraid of being laughed at, women are afraid of being murdered.
Furthermore, no black person says Get Whitey. Ever since Black Panther, we now refer to y'all as colonizers.
Re: the privacy of one's home. Did you just show your ass? Cause it sounds like something you might do. As in, I'm pretty sure you sing nigga at the top of your lungs when black people aren't around. I would roll the dice on that one.
You're not off to a very good start. That chip on your shoulder is going to get mighty heavy mighty fast if you keep saying this kind of stupid shit!
This chip that you're describing—is it a potato chip? Also I don't know if 250 years of slavery, 150 years of Jim Crow, 60 years of separate and unequal, racist housing policies, racist drug wars, birther accusations, police shootings, the prison industrial complex...we can do this all day...can be called a chip. It seems a little heavier than a chip.
Your comments regarding white privilege shows the racism that you carry on you should not be a commissioner in Portland, so next election year
we will see if you still hold that seat.
Another, strangely veiled threat.
Quick recap: Hardesty did not threaten white men. She used the word concerned. Why do you read that as a threat?
You may be a black woman in charge, but that is no right to turn the tables and not only see color,
but also complain publicly about the behavior of race...YOU ARE A BLACK BIGOT!!!!
So many exclamation points. Let's unpack this. You may be a black woman in charge. What an audacious thing for a black woman to hold any sort of seat at all. Turn the tables. Are you sure you know what racism looks like? Cause that wouldn't be the table turned. Not only see color. Bruh, do you not see color? Cause then you can't join the Air Force. But also complain publicly about the behavior of race. That was a mouthful of words. Should we complain in the privacy of our homes? Cause that reads like the dude above.
Also, why is she a black bigot? Couldn't you just have labeled her a bigot—or does black bigot make it worse?
At the very least, you owe the entire city of Portland, and especially white males, a very genuine,
heartfelt apology. There's nothing in my life that was handed to me because I'm white, and male.
I've worked my ass off for everything I've got, and I willingly give myself to my community, and to
those in need, including three young black boys who played basketball on my son's team, two of
whom had fathers in prison. They couldn't afford their uniforms, so I bought them for them...
Sometimes, I would have them stay over for parties with the other boys on the team.
There are a lot of good white males in this city…
Oh no.
Oh boy.
Re: this proposed heartfelt apology. That shit ain't about to happen. Also, I live in this city, don't group me in on your bullshit.
Look everyone works hard and this bootstraps argument continues to feed the myth of meritocracy. I certainly believe you when you say you've worked hard. I believe, you and all of us, work way too hard because capitalism is an asshole. However, when you say that you've never had anything handed to you because you're white and male, shows your insulation from racism. It only highlights your privilege. The mere language of hand-out is racist. It drums of images of greed and lies and most of all, laziness, which historically has been used against brown and black communities in this nation. Consider the paintings and sculptures of the lazy Mexican and his siesta. Or slaves. Fredrick Douglass in his memoir wrote, "More slaves were whipped for oversleeping than for any other fault." Though in fairness, everyone's favorite slave owner, Thomas Jefferson, knew the truth, positing, negroes require less sleep than whites. Nigga that's just science.
Oppressed groups have yet to reach basic human rights. When you're drowning and a whole group of people refuse to throw you a life-line, it's difficult to feel entitled to anything.
Question: Is EBT a hand out? Cause the number one people on EBT are white And if you look at the breakdown of who is on EBT, the largest group are seniors and then single mothers. What about public housing? WIC? Vouchers for child care? How about when this country bailed out banks during the recession? How's that for a motherfucking hand-out?
Let me list a few things that were, in fact, handed to you from birth:
Oppressed groups are constantly accused of carrying chips, of being sensitive, of creating false narratives surrounding racism. Hardesty simply expressed concern over white male privilege and this makes her a racist.
Here's an example of racism: last month, 60% of people pulled over by Portland PD were black—yet black people only make up 6% of Portland's population. This week in Miami, black children were advocating for gun reform and to save their housing project and a white man with a hand gun ran up on them calling them niggers. That's what racism feels like. A gun in your face, not a mild rebuke.
Hardesty specifically used privilege, in order to avoid calling these men racists, since the number one thing white men are afraid of is being called a racist.
Things I am afraid of in order:
1) a white man with a gun
2) climate change
3) a white man with a badge
4) capitalism
5) a white man in a MAGA hat
6) flushing the toilet on an airplane
If you think I'm some alt-right Trump Republican, I'm not. I'm a liberal democrat who voted for
Bernie...I absolutely will not put up with your 'Identity Politics' and your race baiting. So until you
clean up your act and apologize, you will have one more constituent who will work his damnedest
to remove you from office.
I, unfortunately, do not have a cookie to award you for voting for Bernie. What I will say is last time I say Bernie, he had teamed up with Shaun King, and the Los Angeles BLM chapter, to talk the economic inequalities centered around race and gender.
Clean up your act? Did you just tell her to cut the shenanigans or cut the malarkey? Asking for a friend.
To all of you white guys: I don't understand your anger or your threats. She didn't have you removed; she didn't tell you not to come back; she expressed that unheard voices may remain unheard, if you continue to monopolize the conversation (and I use that final term loosely). You are angry because you are unpracticed at self-reflection—for it is your privilege, as white males, to never have been questioned.
Maybe you'll see me at the next City Hall meeting. I am willing to hear out your anger. I am willing to hear your arguments about race baiting and these charges of racism against Hardesty. All I ask is next time I'm on an airplane, you come in and flush for me.
