Vindaloo is typically the hottest of curries, but the spices here mitigate the heat. Found in specialty markets, fenugreek seed, with its mildly bitter and sweet flavors, plays a prominent role in southern Asian cooking. Vindaloo can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated. To reheat, place over medium-low heat and stir often.
How to Make It
Combine first 4 ingredients in a spice grinder; process until powdered. Place in a small bowl; stir in ginger, garlic, red pepper, and cinnamon. Add the vinegar, stirring until combined. Place vinegar mixture and duck in a large zip-top plastic bag; seal. Marinate in refrigerator 4 hours or overnight.
Heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, and sauté 6 minutes or until browned. Add coriander and turmeric; sauté 1 minute.
Add duck to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side. Stir in water, tomato paste, salt, and potatoes, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until duck is done and potatoes are tender. Remove from heat. Remove duck from pan; cut duck diagonally into 1/2-inch-wide slices. Add sugar to pan; stir to combine. Return duck to pan; stir to combine.

(Published in Spaniels In The Field Fall 1991)
The Emporia Gazette (Susan Hess, Reporter) recently proclaimed Roy French as their "man of the week".
The write up follows:
For Roy French, education has been an on-going process throughout his nearly 94 years. Education has helped him build a successful career as an oilman, and with the wealth he has accumulated in his lifetime he now makes educational opportunities available to others.
Although he has never received a diploma, French, of Gridley, has never shied from the pursuit of learning. "I didn't get to finish the sixth grade in school," French said, "but I did a lot of studying later on. I bought hooks…. I liked mathematics very, very much. I didn't get any of that in school." On his own, French mastered calculus, geometry and trigonometry, skills that helped him in oil fields early in his career, in such ways as figuring oil tank capacities.
These days, French sharpens his knowledge of the world with extensive reading, including the Wall Street Journal, National Geographic, a weekly New York Times, Ducks Unlimited, Reader's Digest, and fiction.
To help others have the same opportunity as he had, French established a scholarship program in 1982 for graduating seniors from Gridley, Yates Center and Madison high schools, in the counties where the wells of the French Oil Company are located. Forty-four students have received the $500 scholarships, which are renewed yearly as long as long as the students maintain a 3.0 grade-point average.
The R.E. French Family Educational Foundation also has paid for improvements to schools, such as computers and air-conditioning. The fund is also used to bring cultural events to
communities. When Gridley opened its new library in June, the foundation paid for a week of activities that included book talks, speakers such as Don Coldsmith and Jim Hoy, and Emporia State University's Dr. Karen Ray with an impersonation of Laura Ingalls Wilder.
French was made an honorary alumnus of E-State earlier this summer for his contribution to the education of young Kansans. A generous contribution by French to the university will help the school expand its nursing program. This fall, for the first time, E-State will offer a four-year bachelor's degree in nursing.
French was born in Doniphan County, but he traveled halfway around the country, working on railroads and in oil fields, before making it back to this area. While working in an oil field outside Chandler, Oklahoma, he saw a newspaper ad for an oil lease in Coffey County. "I mortgaged my insurance policy and my auto-mobile and bought my first lease in Coffey County," he said. A month and a half later he purchased another lease, and began to build his fortune in oil. French now owns wells in Coffey, Woodson and Greenwood counties.
French has also gained prominence as a breeder of English Springer Spaniels. He was the top breeder in the nation for several years, and rooms full of trophies and ribbons in his house attest to his successes. In 1987 he was honored by the state legislature for bringing "significant recognition" to the state as a nationally known dog breeder. Two of French's spaniels have been named grand national champions: Kansan in 1962 and Denalisunflo Bandita in 1988. French's kennel, Denalisunflo, combines an Indian word for "the great" – used to describe North America's highest peak, Mount McKinley – with a contraction ofsunflower. French used to hunt with his dogs, but says, "I just don't have the eyesight for it anymore."
Although his eyesight may be failing a bit, French's mind is still sharp as a tack, and he is active with his dogs and many other hobbies. His hobbies include raising five colonies of honey-bees; woodworking, building everything from picture frames to tables and desks; and keeping well-stocked fish ponds. His appreciation for culture has taken him from coast to coast and around the world. He has left footprints on every inhabited continent: from Pacific ports such as Hong Kong and cities in Australia to castle tours in Europe; kissing the Blarney Stone in Ireland; visiting the ancient Inca ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru, and a visit to Victoria Falls, between Zimbabwe and Zambia in central Africa.
What's his favorite place in the world?
"The best thing I've seen is when I come down that road," he said, looking out of his window and sweeping his arm in an arc up his driveway, "and look here."

Piano Concerto No. 2 (Mendelssohn)
|Piano Concerto in D minor
|No. 2
|by Felix Mendelssohn
The composer by Friedrich Wilhelm Schadow, 1834
|D minor
|Op. 40
|about 25 minutes
|Birmingham Festival
The Piano Concerto No. 2 in D minor, Op. 40, was written in 1837 by Felix Mendelssohn and premiered at the Birmingham Festival that year, an event that also saw the premier of Mendelssohn's oratorio St. Paul. He had already written a piano concerto in A minor with string accompaniment (1822), two concertos with two pianos (1823–4), and his first Piano Concerto. The concerto is about 25 minutes in length, and is scored for solo piano, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, and strings.
Unusually for Mendelssohn, who often produced his compositions quickly, the Second Piano Concerto took him a great deal of effort.[1] Its genesis dates to the period shortly after his marriage and is first mentioned in a letter to his friend Karl Klingemann while on honeymoon: "aber ein Konzert machte ich mir so gern für England, und kann immer noch nicht dazu kommen. Ich möchte wissen, warum mir das so schwer wird." [but I would like to write a concert for England, and I can't manage it. I want to know why this is so difficult for me."][2] Mendelssohn's difficulties probably stemmed from a desire to excel in the new work, written expressly for the Birmingham Music Festival, and thereby impress English audiences. The arduousness of the task is attested to by the fact that more autograph sources for the concerto exist than for any other composition he wrote for piano and orchestra.[3] Work on the piece lasted from April through to early September 1837, although his progress was significant enough that he felt confident enough to mention the work to his publisher, Breitkopf & Härtel in early August, having shortly before completed an autograph copy of both the piano part and orchestral score. However, it was not until six weeks after the Birmingham premiere and a second performance at the Gewandhaus in Leipzig, in early November, that Mendelssohn began actively to negotiate publication. He continued to work on the score through that month, delivering a final score to his publishers on December 12.[4] The publisher sent Mendelssohn the proofs of the score on 11 May 1838, which the composer promised to return a copied version of shortly thereafter. The work was published later that summer, although Mendelssohn was unhappy with the result, complaining, among other matters, that the title page was in French rather than German.[5]
Critical reception[edit]
Despite the effort it took Mendelssohn to write the concerto, it has been seen as a somewhat slight contribution to the repertoire. The composer Robert Schumann, writing in the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik, offered a frank assessment of the piece, observing:
This concerto, to be sure, will offer virtuosos little in which to show off their monstrous dexterity. Mendelssohn gives them almost nothing to do that they have not already done a hundred times before. We have often heard them complain about it. And not unjustly! ...
One will ask how it compares with his First Concerto. It's the same, and yet not the same; the same because it comes from the same practised master hand, different because it comes ten years later. Sebastian Bach is discernible in the harmonization. The rest, melody, form and instrumentation are all Mendelssohn.
Let us enjoy the fleeting, cheerful gift! It resembles one of those works thrown off by the older masters while recuperating from one of their great exertions. Our younger master will certainly not forget how the older ones would suddenly emerge with something magnificent – Mozart's Concerto in D minor, Beethoven's in G![6]
Despite being overshadowed by other Romantic piano concertos (including Schumann's own 1845 Concerto) and the relative simplicity of the piano part, it is nonetheless frequently performed and recorded.
There are three movements (played attacca):
- Allegro appassionato
- Adagio. Molto sostenuto (in B-flat major)
- Finale. Presto scherzando (in D major)

text: The blast took place outside a high-security compound that is home to several international companies and charities [EPA-EFE/Jawad Jalali] A powerful explosion has rocked the Afghan capital, Kabul, killing at least four people and wounding more than 100, the country's health ministry said. The Taliban claimed responsibility for Monday's blast near the Green Village compound, which houses several international companies and charities, in eastern Kabul. Three military personnel were among the dead, Afghan Interior Ministry spokesman Najib Danish said. He did not specify what nationality they were. One Indian national was also killed, India's foreign ministry said on Tuesday. The Green Village compound is protected by private security forces, and the road outside has a number of Afghan police and military checkpoints and patrols. "Most of the victims were civilians," said Danish. Glass shrapnel Different hospitals in the city treated as many as 113 injured, including 14 women and 24 children, Afghanistan's Public Health Ministry Spokesperson Wahidullah Mayar said. "Most of them were injured by glass shrapnel injuries, they received required treatment and were discharged," Mayar said. The explosion took place when a bomb-laden car blew up outside the high-security compound. It sits along the main road that connects Kabul to Jalalabad. The normally busy road was closed for hours. The area is home to hundreds of local businesses and residential homes. Local Afghan news website Tolo News posted footage on Twitter that appeared to show ambulances returning from the scene of the explosion. Footage shows ambulances returning from a blast scene in Kabul's PD9 -- near Green Village compound on Kabul-Jalalabad road. pic.twitter.com/e4KZx3jH3Z — TOLOnews (@TOLOnews) January 14, 2019 Zabihullah Mujahid, a spokesperson for the Taliban, said the group's fighters were responsible for the attack. He claimed dozens of foreign and Afghan security forces were killed and wounded. "Five attackers, including the suicide bomber driving an explosives-laden vehicle, were involved in the attack," Mujahid said in a statement. The Taliban often inflates casualty figures in attacks against Afghan government or foreign targets. Monday's attack took place as US Peace Envoy for Afghanistan Zalmay Khalilzad tours the region for meetings aimed at bringing an end to the country's 17-year-long war. Last week, Taliban leaders called off a fourth round of talks with US officials in Qatar because of disagreements over the agenda of the meeting. The Taliban has rejected numerous requests from regional powers to allow Afghan officials to take part in the peace talks, denouncing the government in Kabul as a "puppet" administration and instead insisting the US is their main adversary in the war in Afghanistan. A US-led invasion in 2001 toppled the Taliban, Afghanistan's largest armed group, from power. The group has escalated its attacks on security forces and government facilities in recent months. The last major attack in the capital took place in late December when 43 people were killed inside a government compound targeted by a suicide bomber and other attackers armed with assault rifles. No group has claimed responsibility for the incident. SOURCE: Al Jazeera and news agencies Asia Afghanistan

When Edward Perry heard rumblings from male students about an all-girls club on campus at Life School Red Oak Elementary last year, he recognized some ruffled feathers.
"The boys were telling me 'there's a girls club, where's ours?' " It was then that Edward – who handled tech support at the school last year (he's now at Life School Carrollton Elementary) – also noticed that only three of the 90 staff members were men and that the boys needed more male role models.
And so the Boys to Men Club was born on the Red Oak campus for fifth and six grade boys. The club, which met one day a week after school last year (sixth-graders on Monday and fifth graders on Thursday), is a male mentoring group aimed at helping the boys understand what it means to be an adult male. It also helps teach them how to be Effective Communicators and about the importance of being Resilient – two of Life School's 15 Life Leader profiles.
"We get them ready to be men," said Edward who is going to have Boys to Men clubs on both the Red Oak and the Carrollton campuses this year. "We teach them things about hygiene, having good manners, and the importance of eye contact, asking good questions, and being nice to your elders. We also did service projects."
Additionally, Edward brought in speakers who talked to the boys about everything from college, to cameras, to future career opportunities.
"We essentially tried to show them what it means to be a man," said Edward. "I noticed growth throughout the year and our teachers noticed improvement in their grades and behavior."
During an end-of-the-year party last year, then sixth graders Obadiah Jones, Joshua Tolliver, and Jonathan Killion agreed that they learned a lot because of Boys to Men.
"We talk about stuff we'll do when we're older," said Obediah. "I like talking about different jobs, degrees and learning about things we could do in the future."
Life School Red Oak Principal Joy Shepherd believes the Boys to Men club reflects what in essence Life School is all about.
"I am thrilled Edward started this club for our students last year," said Shepherd. "The club is helping to prepare our students for the next phases of their lives so they are ready to meet the challenges of growing up."

Yesterday, we reported about a new Microsoft Garage app called News Pro for iOS devices and News Pro on the web. News Pro experience is designed to help you search for information about the latest developments in your industry or field, with access to locate articles from more than 10,000 publishers and bloggers. News Pro includes personalization options to assist you in searching for news about more than 100,000 companies big and smaller, such as Facebook, Huawei, Tencent, Microsoft, Kabam and Waze. News Pro app also suggests new topics to search based off your current interests, helping you discover new websites and areas that may benefit you.
"While we can easily locate top headlines that keep us in the know with trending events, it's harder to search for insightful news under the hood about my company, its competitors, and their products that may not be interesting to the general public but significant to me and a handful of people," says Yumao Lu, a principal dev manager whose team works on Bing news products. He and a few others from that team came up with News Pro. "Users might be able to find general news, but if they're coming from a small company or some segment that is more niche, they may have a hard time locating information they need."

Helpful Holiday cooking hacks- blogmas day 11
Blogmas day 11: WOW I cannot believe tomorrow is the last blogmas post and that it is Christmas Eve Eve! 🙂 It has been so much fun blogging these past few weeks and I am so thankful for all of the wonderful comments and follows my blog has received this month, it means the world to me. Happy holidays everyone and Merry Christmas!
For anyone who is hosting Christmas dinner this year today's post is one you do not want to miss reading! I am sharing helpful Holiday cooking hacks that will make your whole experience on Christmas way easier. You will not break a sweat and will be able to relax and enjoy time with your family.
Save money with creative storage.
Opening last year's organizers to find broken ornaments and tangled lights is a real bummer. Instead, store ornaments in egg cartons and wrap Christmas lights around clothes hangers. This way, you will start each season on a good note and save some money too!
Revive Dry Turkey with Chicken stock
Simply pour some chicken stock on the overcooked bird, which will add some much-needed moisture and prevent a potential holiday meltdown.
Pulverize Candy Canes for a Holiday
Grab a fistful of candy canes, dump them in the food processor and grind them into a fine powder. Now you have a delightfully minty candy cane dust, perfect for sprinkling on hot chocolate, desserts, Christmas cocktails or whatever strikes your fancy.
Add Baking Powder for Extra-Fluffy Mashed Potatoes
Looking for creamy, lighter-than-air mashed potatoes that are as fluffy as clouds? Try adding a pinch of baking powder: the heat from the potatoes mixes with the baking powder to create tiny air pockets. Science rules!
Keep Mashed Potatoes Toasty in a Slow Cooker
Here's and idea that will make your life easier. Make the mashed potatoes ahead of time, and store them in a slow cooker set at a low heat, this will keep them warm and ready to serve in addition to freeing up the stove top for all the other things you have to cook.
Candy Cane Place Card Holder
Tie together two candy canes, which then become a perfect Christmasy holder for place cards or tags.
Use a Slow Cooker for a Big Batch of Hot Chocolate
Unleash the power of a slow cooker to make a jumbo-sized batch of hot chocolate! Use the same strategy if making a big batch of mulled wine, hot toddies, hot buttered rum or any other toasty holiday libation.
Freeze Herbs in Olive Oil
It's always wise to do as much prep as possible before the party but in addition to chopping up veggies the day before, you can also prep fresh herbs — and stuff them in an ice cube tray, adding olive oil and then freezing. When preparing your holiday feast and in need of herbs, simply grab a savoury cube from the freezer and pop into the pan for instant seasoning
Tiered Oven Rack
Maximized oven space by investing in layered oven racks, which will allow you to cook or warm more dishes which = less stress on you!
Use a Cheese Grater on Frozen Butter
When baking for the holidays, rather than waiting for cold, hard butter to thaw or trying to soften in the microwave, instead use a cheese grater to shred the desired amount for a particular recipe. No muss, no fuss!
I found these hacks on Food network
Thank you so much for reading today's blogmas day 11 post! Happy holidays and Merry Christmas and I'll see you tomorrow for the last day of blogmas!

Fellowship Bible Church's Crisis Response Plan
Posted on 3/6/20 in Crisis Response
The thoughts and prayers of our Fellowship family go out to the people of any disaster—natural or otherwise—who are affected physically, spiritually, emotionally and financially by the disaster. When a disaster occurs, our first response is often to wonder, what should I do? Past experiences have helped us develop a proper response as we seek to reach out to those impacted.
The Initial Stages of Response
- We PRAY for those affected—for many to turn to Him during this time, for Christ's Church to rise up and be effective, and for God to be glorified.
- We GIVE. We are a generous body of believers, and our church has an existing disaster relief account. We desire to be generous in the right way at the right time and through the right channels.
- We WAIT. We naturally want to help NOW. But, most often, now isn't when our direct involvement is most needed. It usually comes later, in the long road to restoring and rebuilding—long after the news cameras and many disaster relief organizations have left.
- We EVALUATE. Part of the waiting is evaluating. We wait to see what stories and opportunities God might be leading us to pursue. We won't get involved directly with every scenario, but we'll be responsive to the needs as they arise and as the Lord leads us.
As The Situation Becomes Clearer
- We IDENTIFY. As we wait and evaluate, we look for the right partnership: Our goal is to connect with a church in the area with strong and trusted leadership—one that will allow us to have "on the ground" relationships that help us to determine the best way forward. A trusted local church is usually the most effective way to steward our dollars and our people in a disaster situation.
- We ACT. When the Lord makes the way clear, we move. It may be stewarding financial resources; it may be sending people at the right time; it may be discerning ways to get involved that we couldn't have predicted. Whatever the response, Fellowship will follow the Lord's lead.
What Do We Not Do?
Collect items. Distribution becomes a challenge, so organizations on the front lines of response typically encourage cash gifts or gift cards, rather than collections, so that resources can be more efficiently and effectively distributed.
What About Sending People?
Sending teams during the first days, weeks, or (sometimes) even months can potentially do more harm than good. Communities are often overwhelmed by well-meaning, yet poorly organized, volunteer efforts. However, when we can send a team in a well-organized and effective manner, we may decide to mobilize. We will use caution and follow the lead of our partner(s) on the ground when sending people to do relief work.
Long-Term Response
If and when we commit to any relief or rebuilding involvement, we will also commit ourselves to serving that area for the long haul: We served for a number of years in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina; the Peru earthquake, Sudan tribal conflict, Nashville Flood, Japan Tsunami, Hurricanes Sandy, Harvey and Florence…in all of these areas, through our partnerships on the ground, we're extending the love of Christ from our own backyard to the world.

Searcher completes PSDM reprocessing in the Carnarvon Basin
02 Jun 2015
Searcher Seismic in conjunction with project partner, Fugro Multi Client Services (FMCS) is pleased to announce that the Drop Bear UltracubeTM 3D reprocessing project in the Carnarvon Basin is now complete.
The Drop Bear Ultracube is the broadband PSDM reprocessed Willem 3D seismic survey in the Carnarvon Basin, Western Australia, 2,700km2 originally acquired in 2006.
Rachel Masters, Global Sales Manager for Searcher, said it is becoming increasingly more cost effective to reprocess existing, older surveys with a modern broadband algorithm.
"The reprocessing objective was to increase the deep Triassic fault block definition and assess the AVO behaviour, the results of the processing are impressive," Ms Masters said.
The Drop Bear Ultracube also covers the recent Pyxis-1 gas discovery by Woodside.
Searcher is currently undertaking PSDM reprocessing on a number of surveys, including the Lahara 2D Seismic Survey in Papua New Guinea and the Pala Sulu 2D Seismic Survey in the Philippines.

Cinco de Mayo is coming up on Sunday, and if you're looking for a way to celebrate in a way that loves our neighbors well, I highly consider supporting a local Mexican-owned business. If you live in the Twin Cities, there are so many great options. Here are our favorites.
–Dulceria Bakery-If you follow me on Instagram, you have probably seen me post about this bakery frequently. It is a favorite. Modern variations of traditional Mexican favorites: Arroz con leche filled Conchas, Torta de Cielo, and Horchalattes (Horchata Latte). Seriously the best!!!
Toddler Pick: Birthday Cake Concha
–Marissa's– Traditional Mexican pastries. Soft and sweet conchas, marranitos, and so many other pastries I don't know the name of. On Dia de Los Reyes, the line for a Rosca is out the door and down the block! You don't get that way without being the best.
Toddler Pick: Classic Concha
–Hamburguesas El Gordo– Hamburgers may not be your first thought when thinking of Mexican food, but maybe they should be. Mexican hamburgers are NOT like American hamburgers. They are loaded with deliciousness. Ham, bacon, avocado, and so many other savory toppings. You will feel "gordo" when you leave.
Toddler Pick: Gordo Jr.
–EL Super Taco– This is another fav you will see me post about a lot. Their tacos are simple, but oh so good! My favorite are their pastor, and barbacoa. Vale loves their tacos de lengua. You really can't go wrong.
Toddler Pick: Tacos de Lengua
–Taco Libre– Looking for a luchador-themed restaurant? This is it! With taco fillers like flor de calabaza and huitlacoche, you need to try this place. If you're extra hungry, opt for a machete!
Toddler Pick: Kids Street Taco
–La Hacienda– This was our go-to spot when Fabian and I were dating. But when we got married, our late-night taco runs slowed down, and so did our visita to La Hacienda. That is until they put one down the street from our house! Now this favorite date-night place has become our family favorite.
Toddler Pick: Tacos del Pastor
–La Loma-These are by far the BEST Tamales in the city. Elote, pollo, puerco, piña…you really can't go wrong. Don't mish their half-off Tuesdays! They may turn your Taco Tuesday into Tamal Tuesday.
Toddler Pick: Tamal de Elote
Ice Cream
– La Michoacana– Mexican ice cream shop? Yes please. La Michoacana Purepecha has American favorites like vanilla and strawberry, but you'll probably want to pass those up for a gansito or cajete.
Toddler Pick: Gansito or Bubble Gum
As Seen on TV
Andale Taqueria-If you watch Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, you will know all about Andale. The restaurant is delicious, and their grocery store is another excellent option for pan dulce. Vale likes to visit just to see the piñatas.
Toddler Pick: Taco de pollo
Taco Truck
Taqueria Victor Hugo-This is my favorite Taco Truck, and therefore the best! So excited that they are opening a brick-and-mortar shop as well!
Toddler Pick: Taco de cabeza
–Fiesta Cancun– If you really can't pass on your bogo margheritas for Cinco de Mayo, want some one to throw a sombrero on you and sing on your birthday, and you need all the complimentary chips and salsa, this is your place. The mocajetes are the best!
Toddler pick: Rice and beans
– El Burrito-Finally, El Burrito is a local treasure. Shop around the store, grab some pan dulce for later, and enjoy an elote on their deck.
Toddler pick: Elotes!

Green Accounting in Europe
A Comparative Study, Volume 2
Edited by Anil Markandya and Marialuisa Tamborra
Chapter 16: Conclusions and Policy Recommendations
Anil Markandya and Marialuisa Tamborra
Anil Markandya and Marialuisa Tamborra 16.1 INTRODUCTION1 This chapter presents the conclusions from each of the principal areas of investigation. These conclusions identify how the results from the analysis can be applied in existing environmental accounting frameworks and point the way for future research initiatives and priorities. From this some recommendations for policy analysis are drawn. The conclusions on each area of investigation are broadly presented in terms of: ● ● ● ● ● replicability of the methodology in other European Union countries;2 reliability of the quantitative estimates of the environmental damages in physical and monetary terms; consistency of assessment within, and between, countries and over time; applications of the methodology and results to specific areas of policy analysis; and identified priorities for future work. The main themes that emerge from this exercise are summarised in Section 16.9. 16.2 REFLECTION ON THE METHODOLOGY: UPDATING DAMAGE ESTIMATES FOR AIR POLLUTION 16.2.1 Replicability It is necessary to ask whether the methods used here can be applied in countries other than the four selected for this study. The main issue concerns the 473 474 Conclusions and policy recommendations availability of good quality data through the analytical chain. The situation is summarised in Table 16.1. The situation across the European Union is set to improve over the next few years with respect to the availability of pollution concentration data, through the implementation of the Framework Directive on Ambient Air Quality (FDAAQ). This requires most member states to increase the number of monitoring stations, measure all pollutants...

I am back this month with another Folio album! These things are just to darn cute and easy to make. You can find the tutorial on how to make these albums from My Sisters Scrapper . The one thing I do differently in my album is that I make these folios using the Close To My Heart flip flaps. I absolutlely love these things and they make it so easy to add photos to these mini albums or add photos to your regular scrapbook layouts or project life. You can grab some of these amazing flip flaps at my shop.
To finish this folio off I used my Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge to create some great tags, make the shaker frame and make the title for my folio. The shaker frame was made by gluing a bunch of frames together using my bonding memories glue. I love, love, love this stuff. This glue is just so awesome, I even used the glue to wrap my paper around the chipboard and of course there is no rippling in my paper of any sort even though this is a wet glue. By using the bonding memories glue I save a ton of money by not having to use scor-tape or my ATG. You can grab this awesome glue here.
Back to the shaker card, I used my Cricut and cut out six frames and one pretty frame. I have some old transparency hanging around my house and of course I have sequins. I punched out some cute fall leaves with an old Creative Memories punch. I think next time I make a shaker frame I will add a few more frames to give it more height. You can grab the cut file for the shaker frame here I already added more frames to it for you.
The entire album and all the little extras were all created with the Pathfinding paper pack which you can grab here.
What Thaksgiving crafting activities do you have planned?
You can check out the other wonderful sites in this Make It Monday hop here:

Shopping catalogs have an illustrious past. But today's catalog businesses could learn a lot from their early forerunners — because they knew exactly how to delight entirely different groups of customers, all at the same time.
The catalog concept dates back to around 500 years ago, when price lists of books and seeds were first published. In fact, Benjamin Franklin is believed to have been the first cataloguer in British America producing a catalog of scientific and academic books in 1744. But things really took off in 1845 when Tiffany and Co released a catalog called the 'Blue Book'. Montgomery Ward followed in 1872, Eaton (Canada) in 1875, and Sears Roebuck in 1894. It was not until 1963 that JC Penney entered the catalog arena.
An affordable, uniform postal service, improving railway links and an increase in people's disposable income meant these entrepreneurs could suddenly reach shoppers everywhere — posting catalog, receiving orders and then sending goods.
Omnichannel customer service, 19th century style
We don't know the details, but even then, shopping experiences would have varied enormously. Some country folk who couldn't read would have needed others to explain the products, take their money and submit the orders. Wealthy families would doubtless have had trusted servants to take care of purchases. And it's highly plausible the armed forces dispatched their bulk orders by telegraph.
Omnichannel customer service today
If these early, low-tech enterprises could do business with a fragmented marketplace back then, surely today's catalog companies can manage it with ease? Even to the extent of rivalling Amazon Prime and Google Express.
The secret is all about engaging with different groups of customers using the channels they prefer —and improving the service they receive. Here's what we mean...
Older customers: This audience often values printed catalog and being able to place orders over the phone, making secure payments. But if your agents are busy, then Call-Back means you don't lose the sale. Alternatively, if silver surfers are trying to buy online, then your agents could help them to complete their orders using Co-Browsing.

Is a volunteer screening process necessary for everyone?
Are all volunteer roles considered equal?
How do you ask volunteers to go through a screening process if they are volunteering their time?
How do we say no?
How much time do you spend dealing with the interpersonal issues amongst volunteers?
Do any of these questions keep you up at night?
Screening volunteers is a key step all associations should consider implementing for their members. Doing so can ensure your organization has the right people in the right role. Volunteer screening also means you have done your due diligence in protecting your association's reputation and assets, minimizing liability.

Our Mission
No Time to Lose
We want to raise £10 million in the next four years to find the treatments children with rare conditions urgently need.
£10 million could fund over 70 new research projects and more than 350,000 hours of valuable research.
The film
No Time to Lose is our awareness film that launches the No Time to Lose fundraising campaign. The film features five children affected by rare and complex conditions – Leila, Lucy, Ethan, Sadie and Joseph – and features inspirational fundraiser, Trevor.
The film highlights that one in three children with a rare condition won't live to celebrate their fifth birthday, but with public support, Sparks can fund life-changing treatments that will help children in the UK who have rare and complex conditions.
Watch the film below:
Children deserve the best healthcare possible.
While healthcare has improved dramatically in the last 50 years, there are still no treatments or cures for children with rare and complex conditions. The only way we can help them now is through research.
Since 1991, we have funded over £30 million of research into over 80 childhood conditions. We have a strong reputation in the child health research community and have supported over 90 research institutions across the UK.
You can help us reach our goal and support Sparks in many ways, including making a one-off donation, donating a major gift or signing up to one of our fundraising events.
You can also meet and hear from the amazing families Sparks is helping, including Joseph.
Every moment counts. Your support could help change the lives of tens of thousands of children with rare and complex conditions in the UK.
For critically ill children, there's no time to lose.
Get involved
We need your help to ensure no life-changing ideas go unfunded.
Make a one-off donation, set up a regular gift or get in touch with us.
Sign up to a fundraising challenge or attend a special event.
For trusts, foundations or individuals looking to help save children's lives.

About ACM Competition.
This year my team ranked 38 out of 131 in the 2004 ACM East Central North AmericaRegional Programming Contest. This competition is funded by IBM, and the winner will go to the 2005 ACM Final in Shanghai. There're 72 colleges and universities throughout western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, eastern Ontario, and Indiana (excluding the Greater Chicago Metropolitan Area) in this competition.
You can read the problem set I met in this competition. Usually the problems are easy to understand, but hard to solve. For example, Prime Ring is a classic ACM problem:
Prime Ring Problem
A ring is composed of n (even number) circles as shown in diagram. Put natural numbers 1, 2, ..., n into each circle separately, and the sum of numbers in two adjacent circles should be a prime.
Note: the number of first circle should always be 1.
n (1 -- 16)
The output format is shown as sample below. Each row represents a series of circle numbers in the ring beginning from 1 clockwisely and anticlockwisely. The order of numbers must satisfy the above requirements.
You are to write a program that completes above process.
Sample Input
Sample Output
Case 1:
1 4 3 2 5 6
1 6 5 2 3 4
Case 2:
1 2 3 8 5 6 7 4
1 2 5 8 3 4 7 6
1 4 7 6 5 8 3 2
1 6 7 4 3 8 5 2
There're 8 problems in the competition, and you have 5 hours to work on them. You can use C, C++ or JAVA to solve the problems. Usually the source code of the answer is NO longer than 2 pages. You can visit a PROBLEM SET ARCHIVE at http://online-judge.uva.es/problemset/ and you can even submit your answer, and get feedback from the judges.
Every year Dr. Kobti organizes 2 seminars, in March and in September. In October, there'll be a Local Contest, and the first 2 teams can go to Oakvill for the Region Competition. If any of you are interested in the contest, you can find 2 friends and start working on it now.
You can read my answer for the Prime Ring.

The Simple Treasures in Life
It is the simple things in life that give me the greatest joy; waking up in the morning to see that it is going to be yet another beautiful day, managing to drive out of my street without being stuck behind the garbage truck, arriving in to work before everyone else, having an hour of blissful silence to be able to catch up on the News and read my favourite blogs, getting home in time to go to the gym and have a social life, and getting a Caesar salad at the 25 NIS (now 30 NIS) restaurant with my friends… oh and a big glass of red wine.
I have noticed that a lot of female bloggers are writing about friends/ lack of friends/ wishing they had more friends at the moment. I blame the summer. It is the time of year when everyone seems to be with someone. Everyone seems to be in love, walking hand in hand down the beach with the love of their lives, and when you are a single woman in your late twenties and thirties, the loves of your life become your simple pleasures and your friends.
I treasure my simple pleasures and even more so my beautiful and wonderful friends who at times I may take for granted (as do we all) but at the moment I am in a lovey dovey place so swallow it – I love you people!! But it has not been easy. I would like to remind you that 2 years ago I arrived in a new country, and although I was lucky enough to have 3 of my best friends either here already or following me on the plane, and I also had my family here waiting for me, it has still taken almost to this day for me to gather a quality group of people around me who I trust and adore… and at the same time can rely on at least one of them to get me drunk any given night of the week. It does take time, partly because you are so busy trying to define who you are in this new country you are calling home, it is not the easiest thing to do to develop a whole new social scene.
Plus the good friends we left behind will always be in the back of our minds… If so and so was here they would be able to cheer me up/ give me the right advise etc. But the sad fact is that after a while these friends too go their own way, move to another country, get married and have babies which rightly take priority over joining you to drink down your sorrowful love-life in the local pub. I would like to site my parents and the key example here. At age 52 (but he didn't look any older than 40… ok 35) my father brought his wife and two youngest daughters to live in Israel. My parents prior to this had lived all their lives in Leeds and were still best of friends with people they had met at youth clubs in their teens. But they decided that Israel was worth the sacrifice of leaving behind the comfortable and reliable social circle they had so loved in good old Leeds, and decided to come to settle in Ra'anana, not really having a friend in the town. Now nine years on I see my parents in close friendships similar to those that they had developed over many many years. So have no fear… If two oldies can make new friends so can us younguns ;)
Life's Treasures
Another thing I have been blog reading recently is the phrase "quality and not quantity". It is something that makes me laugh out loud. People (myself included) will regularly use this phrase in a way to make themselves feel better for the lack of something they have… in this case friends. Who is to say that you can only have quality OR quantity? I believe… no I know that I have both (my friends are all now reading this with serious inflated ego issues).
Why am I so special? I am not. As I said, it has taken some time for me to get to the stage where I can say I have a secure group of friends around me. But I think the key in any relationship is trust. I trust my friends, and in return they trust me; I rely on my friends, and in return they rely on me; I turn to my friends, and in return they turn to me… or maybe it is the other way around… which came first Little Miss Graham or her friends?
What I am trying to say is that on the one hand it does take time to build a quality amount of good friends around you. However, if you find that you have been living in Israel for a considerable amount of time… lets say 10 years or so, and you are still wondering where the quality friends are, maybe you should be looking to yourself instead of judging those around you for being less than willing to help you in your time of need.
Seriously, some people are bad friends and in turn attract only bad friends, and then wonder to themselves why oh why they are less than willing to help you in your time of need, or listen to your problems. I mean seriously if you are at the age of 30 still using your friends to ease your insecurities in life, but are less than sensitive when it comes to theirs then what do you expect? What were the friendship developing years of university for? You clearly learnt nothing! At some point in our twenties we all come to realise that after our family has let us fly the nest the only person you can rely on is yourself. Your friends may be the most wonderful people in the world, but ultimately they can only be there so much, and at the end of the day have their own lives to deal with. But on the other hand if you take that selfish attitude too far, of "MY needs, MY insecurities" where is the room in that for your friends' needs and insecurities.
My advice is this; go out, get a life, get a job, stop whinging over not having found the man of your dreams and most importantly stop being a bitch to the friends who are actually willing to stick around you! They are your life's treasures, so love them, give them a hug to show you care, listen to their problems without throwing them back in their face. And you never know, one day you may find the doors opening, the arms outstretched, more than willing to help you in your time of need, and to pick you up when you are down.

RE/MAX Ontario-Atlantic Canada, Generation X purchasers are poised to replace aging baby boomers as the major force in recreational property markets across the country, according to a report released today by RE/MAX.
The report found demand for recreational properties from Gen Xer's (those born between 1965 and 1980) has nearly doubled over one year ago. "Much of the activity in the marketplace today has to do with the mindset of this particular generation," says Elton Ash, Regional Executive Vice President, RE/MAX of Western Canada. "More important than the investment aspect is the commitment to lifestyle. The purchase of a waterfront home or a condominium is more than a simple transaction to Gen X purchasers – owning a recreational property underscores their dedication to family and balance."

"Snow Trekking in Manali" is an elite initiative by Invincible NGO which mainly targets youngsters and promotes them into less explored field of Winter Trekking.
Moreover, in Himalayas, when the winter fills the dense forests with white furry snow, Invincible looks high towards snow clad mountains and leads warm blood and ignited minds for exploring the area in a unique way with heritage touch.
Keeping this learning tour at very low cost, providing the participants their own gujju taste of food & making them to feel the real adventure, where everything around is white are the missionary objectives from this student run organization. Organized in a very disciplined manner with proper safety and security for both Boys and Girls, this expedition gives a chance to learn, understand & explore the Himalayan beauty and meanwhile to conquer the self-made limitations.
Day 1: Departure from Ahmedabad, Overnight train journey.
Day 2: Arrival at Pathankot, Departure for Manali.
Day 3: Arrival at Naggar, Day for Acclimatisation & team building activities.
Day 4: Trek to Advance Base Camp, Campfire.
Day 5: Climb to Snow Point & Trek back to Naggar and Rafting.
Day 6: Free day for site seeing at Manali, Departure for Pathankot after dinner.
Day 7: Arrival at Pathankot Railway Station in the morning, Departure for Ahmedabad.
Day 8: Arrival at Ahmedabad.
*From March Onwards Accommodation will be provided in Tents
(One can participate in Paragliding & Water Rafting too, but it will be additional. The approximate rate for paragliding would be ₹1500/- per head and for Water Rafting, it would be around ₹350/- per head.)
As the aim of this camping is to provide Nature Education and train the youth for the critical situations, we prefer proper adventure establishment for the adventure camps.
In Snow Trekking in Manali, the participants will stay in Hotel/Tent/Guest Houses as per 3/4/5 sharing basis, where at the base camp, they will stay in local Homes with multiple sharing fashions.
Healthy Pure Veg food will be served during the camping. Non-vegetarian food or egg food is not allowed in the campsite area.
Jain or Swaminarayan Food is also available.
Banned Items: Tobacco, Alcohol, Smoking
Kindly take a humble note that this is an adventurous camping planned to project youth into adventure and Himalayan exploration. Please do not consider this as a tour and Invincible as a tour operator. Our idea is purely to serve adventure with heritage touch.
The registration can be done online by clicking given date on the website.
The registration will be done on first come first serve basis and advanced booking can be made by paying ₹4000. However, the remaining fees must be paid before 20 days of departure.

Special camps can be organized by sending a request application on the NGO mail ID [email protected].
The fees structure would be the same for the group of the fixed strength.
Cancellation would be granted by the Project Manager or Higher Authorities on receiving cancellation request through registered mail ID only. The cancellation Amount will be counted on total fees only.
