While many of Sean's behaviors are frustrating for all of us, a few have been downright scary. I don't mean scary as in we were fearful of him or he was violent, but frightening because we don't understand what is going on with him.
In the summer of 2007 my father was buying a house in town. Sean and my dad had talked about the house, with Sean asking questions about the furnace, water heater, and shingles. Sean offered to rent a carpet cleaner and help them clean the carpets before they moved in. Later in the week Sean and I drove to the new house and walked around the yard to check it out. When moving day came the following week, Sean asked who was moving. When I told them we were helping my dad move, he asked where, and did they buy a house? I reminded him that he had offered to clean the carpets and he became angry saying he had never told anyone that and he had no intentions of cleaning anyone's carpets. I left him home and went to help with the move. The next day Sean asked when we were going to pick up the carpet cleaner so he could help with the move.
Christmas Eve 2007 we were at Sean's parents' home in North Dakota. Several of us were watching the Harry Potter DVD. The surround sound speakers amplified the sounds of a fight scene and the loud noises scared Sean. He clamped his hands over his ears and ran for the bedroom. I found him sitting on the bed, head covered with his blanket, rocking back and forth, and shaking uncontrollably. It took about half an hour before I could get him to take his hands off his ears and stop rocking. When he finally started talking he kept asking, "What happened? What's wrong? What did I do?" This episode was one of the first big ones witnessed by all three kids. We spent that night in the bedroom with all three kids watching a movie while Sean slept. They spent the night in the room with us.
The next morning when Sean got out of bed he came to the table wrapped in a blanket. His eyes were open, but he had a blank stare and would not respond when I talked to him. He was off balance so I helped him to a chair. He remained in that chair for over half an hour staring blankly and not giving any indication he knew anyone else was there. Finally, he got up, walked back to the bed and fell asleep. Later when he woke up he was very confused asking where he was, who I was, and what was going on. When he did start to make sense, he was exhausted and slept most of the day. Sean has many of these episodes, up to five a week. Most of them last less than five minutes. When he comes around he usually does not know where he is or who I am. He is scared.
In spring 2008 I had opened the windows in the house to let in the fresh air. Sean has terrible allergies, but we routinely open the windows in the spring and fall for limited times to freshen up the house. Sean came home and saw the windows open. He started yelling and swearing at me because he has allergies and I didn't care about how he would feel. He went on a rant for about 15 minutes about my incompetence and lack of compassion and understanding of his needs, all the while swearing and pacing around. Our youngest daughter sat on the couch and didn't move. She was scared of his behavior. I closed all the windows and assured him I would not open them again. Not long after, he went in to bed. The following day when Sean came home he said, "The house is stuffy, can I open this window?" I looked at my daughter and we both looked at him. Sean said, "What? Can I open it or not?" My daughter asked him why he wanted it open when he was so upset about it the night before. Sean had no memory of the previous night's events.
One morning Sean was driving our daughter to school before he went to work. On the way the transmission went out in the van. I was already at work when the call came from Sean. He told me the van stopped and he couldn't be late for work. Since I was already at work, I told him he should call for a tow and call someone to give them a ride. He told me that he wasn't going to be late for work, so he left the van parked at the curb, and left our daughter waiting in the van without a ride. He was walking to work. I had to get another teacher to cover my room so I could pick up my daughter and get her to school. Then I called the tow truck and made repair arrangements. I called to let Sean know that I had taken care of it all. He did not thank me, but continued to talk about how he wasn't going to be late for work. I could not believe that a grown man would act so selfishly. I think in hindsight that he simply did not know what to do in that situation. I know that a broken down vehicle can be a sitting duck in a war zone, so perhaps that had something to do with his actions and he didn't understand that he wasn't in danger.
That summer Sean was off work and had volunteered to help drive the kids to their different activities. I had plans on this particular day, and Sean was in charge of getting the girls dropped off. He called me yelling and asking why the girls needed rides and why I wasn't taking them. I reminded them that he had offered to do this and he responded with, "Just because I'm not working doesn't mean you can make me be everyone's (swearing) chauffer!" Then he hung up on me. I had to leave my activity and take care of the girls.
One day Sean had been confused most of the morning. On days like this he would repeat things such as, "What should I do?" "Where do I go?" "What did I do?" At one point he got up from the couch and said he was going to replace the blinker bulb in the van as it was burned out. He returned to the house about 20 minutes later and said he was finished. He laid down on the couch and started napping. Shortly after he fell asleep, he sat up and said he was going out to change the blinker bulb. I told him he had already done that and he was confused. Eventually he laid back down. This scene repeated all day. That was the day I decided he needed a "reset" button. I wished we had a way to take these bad days and start over or help him to catch up.
Sean has many nightterrors or nightmares. He wakes up kicking or punching, sometimes crying or yelling. He rarely says anything coherent, although he does sometimes talk about sirens and smoke. He is in a state of terror when he wakes up and most times doesn't know where he is or who I am. Many times I will wake up to hear him walking out of the bedroom (usually due to his poor balance I will hear him fall or hit the door). When I ask him what he is doing, he will tell me he is going to the bunker.
In the fall of 2009 our local college had their homecoming parade. We live right along the path of the parade, so all morning there are people coming and going in front of our house. Sean did not feel comfortable going out to watch the parade with all the people, so he said he would watch from inside the house. The girls and I were walking with our unit's FRG group and passing out candy, so we left him home alone. We were gone a couple hours and came home to find Sean sitting against the wall, completely covered by a blanket, shaking and rocking. He did not appear to recognize me. I asked him what was wrong and he replied, "The men in black are coming, they're going to get me." I assume he saw parade walkers in costume and that disturbed him. I got him into bed and calmed down. Throughout the day he would come out of the bedroom saying he needed to get to the bunker before the men in black got him. The next day he had no memory of these events. We frequently find Sean on the floor under a blanket and shaking or talking to himself. We have learned just to calm him and get him into bed where he feels more safe.

Sanliurfa Metropolitan Municipality is continuing to empower its vehicle fleet with TCV Karat diesel buses in public transportation.
Turkey's southeastern province Sanliurfa Metropolitan Municipality continues its investments in public transportation with TCV Karat Diesel buses. Buying 25 unit Karat Diesel buses in the first quarter of 2014, Sanliurfa Municipality prefers TCV Karat Diesel buses again, according to the statement
Ensuring transportation of 165 thousand passengers daily on average, Sanliurfa Metropolitan Municipality takes place among distinguished provinces of Turkey in public transportation. Steadily spreading the public transport use with its innovative approach, Sanliurfa Municipality is going to increase passenger number of public transport by adding 18 TCV Karat Diesel buses. Highlighting that they had focused on public transportation to improve transport solutions, Huseyin Alagoz, head of transport department of the municipality said, "We have been using TCV buses for one year. We are glad from these buses as municipality, drivers and passengers."
TCV Karat Diesel buses are preferred by local governments due to their passenger capacity, fuel economy and comfort. The buses carry 97 passengers, 27 seats and 69 standing. The super low floor TCV Karat buses are designed for all passengers to get on and out and interior movement as well as disabled people to travel safe and ease.
Stating they were following closely the works of Bozankaya firm in public transportation, Alagoz said; "Bozankaya offers Diesel and CNG buses with TCV brand. However, we also follow other projects of the firm as Sanliurfa Metropolitan Municipality. Trambus and E-bus vehicles which the firm has developed we consider ideal solutions in line with our province's needs for public transport. Our priorities are the vehicles feature eco-friendly, energy saving, keeping commuter comfort in front plan."
TCV General Manager Aytunc Gunay in his statement said; "Sanliurfa is an example province in public transportation. The Metropolitan Municipality improves innovative projects in this field. In line with this we believe they would use E-bus easily regarding the climate condition of the province. Sanliurfa is a province has plenty of sun and they can reduce fuel costs in a noteworthy size by installing their own solar system. In this way they will bring both eco-friendly solution and reduce operation costs."

Women Beware Women
A Fanatic Heart: Selected Stories
Hotel du Lac
A Fanatic Heart is a collection drawn from over a decade of Edna O'Brien's career as a writer of short stories; it prints complete her 1981 volume Returning, only now published in the United States, as well as a "Quartet" of uncollected stories which appeared in The New Yorker between 1979 and 1981.
The book opens with the Returning stories, set in Ireland during the Forties and Fifties. Exile, if it is voluntary (and therefore reversible) and doesn't involve the abandonment of a language—and moving from Ireland to London, though a somber step, doesn't quite involve that—can be a good thing for a writer. Exile produces a transformation of values that otherwise only maturity could accomplish: the commonplace becomes exotic, the trivial fascinating, and poverty becomes a source of richness. Even experience reverts to its opposite; the wildest renegades of these stories have an innocence unnoticed by the communities they scandalize.
The Ireland of Edna O'Brien's stories is a country where in midsummer the milk sours five hours after it has been put in the tanker; where a child's tapeworm can be talked about for a week; where a girl in love with the nun who teaches her geometry has to ask her what color her hair is, never having seen it under her wimple; and where people's dream house is identical with their own (that is, a twostory cement building), except that it has a tiny hall inside the front door, so that company can be vetted there, "instead of plunging straight into the kitchen."
Thresholds are jealously guarded; one woman has never set foot inside anyone else's front door. "She always washed outdoors at the rain barrel, and never called her husband anything but mister. Unpacking the groceries, she said that it was a pity to waste them on him, and the only indulgence she permitted herself was to smell the things, especially the packet of raspberry and custard biscuits." The same thresholds, though, can act as prison gates, and nonconformers pay dear. A family whose unmarried daughter is pregnant spends a whole day cleaning oats from the sitting room, giving the whole house a spring-cleaning, so as to have a suitable setting for the scene in which they will force the guilty man to do the decent thing.
The rules are strict. Women are meant for marriage and for nothing else; the local women wear no cosmetics, and the jars of cold cream and vanishing cream go dry on the chemist's shelves for lack of demand. The women read about fashions in magazines, but style remains something applied to the outside of a woman, under which she is unchanged. A local vamp has "an attaché case full of style," but she will need more than that to escape.
These stories reveal a particular sympathy for internal exiles, the casualties of convention, but at their best the stories themselves are impersonal. The central character is usually a young girl, but it is her best friend or sister…

Our office routinely uses both dental amalgam (silver fillings) and composite resin (white fillings) to restore both primary (baby) and secondary (adult) teeth. These two materials each have their strengths and weaknesses and our doctors try to use the material that is best suited to the individual needs of the patient and of the tooth.
We also offer a wide variety of sports guards for children of any age. And when it comes to mouth guards, if it fits great and looks cool, the odds are better that your child will be wearing it. And at only $85.00, it is far more inexpensive than a fractured permanent tooth!

Our Open House was wonderful, despite the fact that many friends were unable to come because of the snow. Typically, on Three Kings Day I tend to make treats evocative of my Cuban roots. We usually serve guava pastries, turrones (sweet nougats made of almonds, marzipan, or ground almonds) and hot chocolate is a MUST. This year, I also made sandwiches, and cookies, and an almond spice cake.
Here is the Coffee Bar set up to keep my chilly guests warm: Piping hot coffee, with a little something something - Butterscotch Schnapps, Kahlúa and RumChata.
Have you tried RumChata yet? If NOT, please put this on your "Must Try" list for 2014! This is a new twist on Horchata (hence, the "Chata" part of the name). Spanish horchata is a sweet, milky drink made from the chufa, or tiger nut. It tastes a lot like almond milk. You can read all about horchata here. It is delicious! If you are ever in Spain, you must try it, but to truly enjoy it you must sit in a little café under sweltering sun, and wait an hour for the waiter to notice that you are even alive. By the time you get your icy horchata, you would be ready to swear that it's the nectar of the gods! Mexican horchata is slightly different and often made from other kinds of nuts, or even rice! It's still delicious. RumChata took the next step and made it into a liqueur. Add some to your coffee, and you'll be warm and smiling in no time!
The Coffee Bar also included peppermint candy canes, and homemade Vanilla Bean syrup, something sweet without the alcohol. There were also some dark-chocolate covered almonds nearby, in case anyone had a chocolate emergency. That happens to me once in a while, so I'm very sympathetic.
There's always cake on Three Kings Day, so we can bury the Baby Jesus in its batter before baking. Whoever finds the plastic baby, is King of the Day and wins a prize. This year's Almond Spice Cake was delicious. My son David gave it a thumbs up, and he's a tough cake customer!
Here's another treat: Pecan Butterballs from the Silver Palate Cookbook. I have been making these since 1984, the year I got married. My sister-in-law, Angela, who is a wonderful cook, gave us the cookbook as a wedding present. I'm on my second copy right now. It wouldn't be Christmas around here without these little gems. They are sweetened with a little honey, and they just melt in your mouth. Here's the recipe:
8 tablespoons (1 stick) sweet butter, softened
3 tablespoons honey
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup shelled pecans, chopped moderately fine
¾ cup confectioners' sugar
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Grease one or two cookie sheets.
- Cream butter. Beat in honey; gradually mix in flour and salt, then vanilla. Add pecans. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
- Form balls by hand, the size of quarters. Place 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
- Remove from oven; as soon as cool enough to touch, roll in confectioners' sugar. Allow to cool and roll again in sugar.
Guests were asking me for extras to take home! You'll want to double or triple the recipe, if you want any leftovers for yourself!
The basket of Chocolate Chip cookies held four batches of CCCs made by my son, John! I love it when the family gets involved in the party preparations!
On Three Kings Day I try to bring out the gold in remembrance of the Magi who brought gold to the Baby Jesus, so this year, the table is covered in a gold cloth. The covered platter held sandwiches of Tuna Salad à la Vizcaína (Basque-style), a delightful tuna salad recipe that calls for adding roasted red peppers.
The Christmas centerpiece was given a facelift. I removed the wilted blooms, and replaced them with snowy white carnations, gold balls, and a little red cardinal that begged to come out and play.
After taking a look at his little cousin outside, he realized that he got the better deal . . .
It's time to put away the extra Christmas cards!
Now we can sit by the fire and enjoy the wonderful memories we created during this joyful Christmas season! May you have a wonderful new year!

Cameron Diaz has revealed she has toned down her ladette behaviour in Colin Firth's company.
The Bad Teacher star is filming the remake of Gambit with the Oscar-winning actor, who she describes as "delicious", and reckons she has become more of a lady.
"He is so refined and now I am 38, I don't behave like that any more. I have become more refined in the last six months - actually, since I knew I was doing a movie with Colin Firth," she said on The Graham Norton Show.
And Cameron confessed working with her ex Justin Timberlake in Bad Teacher was "heaven".
"We love each other as friends and we love to laugh together. Making a movie together was great. It was heaven," she revealed.
The actress added: "Nothing that we are doing in the film is sexy. We made a conscious effort to make the least sexy sex scene that has ever been caught on film and I really believe we succeeded.
"I don't think I could have achieved it with a guy I didn't know and didn't know where the boundaries were but it is so clearly defined between Justin and I because we're such good friends and we've been there and done that."
:: Bad Teacher is in cinemas now. The Graham Norton Show airs on Friday on BBC One at 10.35pm.

Fedor Emelianenko has informed his camp that he would fight Dan Henderson in July, the heavyweight's management told ESPN.com on Saturday.
Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker said an agreement to put two of the most heralded mixed martial arts fighters in the cage "is not done yet."
However M-1 Global's Apy Echteld, who represents Emelianenko and is in San Diego as part of Gegard Mousasi's camp for a Strikeforce bout against Keith Jardine at the Valley View Casino Center, said it could be completed as soon as Sunday.
"He agreed. He's ready to fight," Echteld said of Emelianenko.
The "Last Emperor" has recently traveled to Holland to work on his fitness, striking and grappling in Holland. While the option of dropping to light heavyweight was considered, Emelianenko would prefer to remain in the heavyweight division.
"With his progress from training, I can only think he'll be back the way he was," Echteld said of the former Pride champion, who's fallen in consecutive fights for the first time in his storied career. "If he doesn't win, he'll make his own decisions like he does now. If he stops, he stops. But if he wins, I think he'll continue fighting."
Henderson, 40, expressed interest in challenging he 34-year-old Russian after winning the Strikeforce light heavyweight championship in March.
Henderson spoke to Strikeforce officials three weeks ago, according to a source in the American's camp, and indicated that if Emelianenko
(31-3) was available he would accept the fight, regardless of weight.
Echteld said the bout could take place at a catchweight between
216-220 pounds.
Henderson (27-8) is owed a fight by the end of July or Strikeforce could be in violation of its agreement with him, sources with knowledge of his agreement confirmed.
The bout is being discussed for Showtime pay-per-view.
Josh Gross covers mixed martial arts for ESPN.com.

One of my favorite activities is looking at my flowers early in the morning with a nice, hot cup of coffee.Occasionally, a hummingbird will fly by, but the bird activity starts up a little later. They're still snuggled in a nest somewhere, I am sure. This photo was taken in July, and without understating the fact, it is one of the hottest month's in Arizona. So living outside the Phoenix metro area gives me some relief from the heat early in the morning.
Flowers sure do have the power to help determine the direction a day will take.

Title: Changeless
Author: Gail Carriger
Series: Parasol Protectorate, #2
Format: eBook
Rating: ★★★★☆
In my review of Soulless, I called it a cupcake... which it was. As I said, it was a rather enjoyable cupcake, but still not something of substance. Changeless, on the other hand, is more of a muffin. It is a cupcake masquerading as food. Breakfast food, and food we'd not normally call very healthy. But food nonetheless.
Changeless departs from Soulless in a few ways, the most important being a heavy divergence from the standards of paranormal romance. Having married off Alexia in the last book, it would be rather hard to continue on with the genre standards. That's not to say that there isn't some spiciness, but for the most part, this book focuses far more heavily on character and plot than it does bodice ripping.
And speaking of characters... Gail Carriger is also writing a YA series in the same universe. I've already read the Finishing School books that are out, and I was overjoyed to see adult versions of these same characters in Changeless, especially Vieve. (In fact, I might have gotten a little so excited I got overstimulated and kind of broke in a not-so-good way.)
It's always delightful to see some of your favorite characters all grown up, which is exactly what's happening here. (Or, if you read them in publication order, I guess you'd get to see them grow up, rather than be all grown up, as Parasol Protectorate was written first.)
Gail Carriger also seems to become more comfortable in her voice, and while she still relies heavily on the absurd, stumbles onto more wit this time. In fact, it feels like the writing is better overall, more mature and focused.
Unfortunately, though, the plot still isn't spectacular. It's kind of boring and totally predictable. Well, at least I predicted it. I also predicted the ~twist at the end of the book. In fact, I was shocked it was held to the end because it was staring at me in the face the entire time. While the plot is obvious, it doesn't feel like Carriger's characters are holding the idiot ball. Some of them are just so distracted and busy, and others just don't appear genre-savvy enough to predict their own plot lines. (Or even realize they have plot lines.)
So while we've gone up a bit in nutrition, we're definitely not talking morning glory muffin here. Cakey sweet how-can-you-call-this-breakfast muffin. But no frosting.

Court of Protection orders continued reporting restrictions after death
27 April 2016
In the matter of proceedings brought by Kings College NHS Foundation Trust concerning C (who died on 28 November 2015) v The Applicant and Associated Newspapers Ltd and others [2016] EWCOP21 – read judgment
The Court of Protection has just ruled that where a court has restricted the publication of information during proceedings that were in existence during a person's lifetime, it has not only the right but the duty to consider, when requested to do so, whether that information should continue to be protected following the person's death.
I posted last year on the case of a woman who had suffered kidney failure as a result of a suicide attempt has been allowed to refuse continuing dialysis. The Court of Protection rejected the hospital's argument that such refusal disclosed a state of mind that rendered her incapable under the Mental Capacity Act. An adult patient who suffers from no mental incapacity has an absolute right to choose whether to consent to medical treatment (King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust v C and another [2015] EWCOP 80).

Sains, Filsafat dan Teknologi
|Godel's First Incompleteness Theorem. Any adequate axiomatizable theory is incomplete. In particular the sentence "This sentence is not provable" is true but not provable in the theory.
|Proof. Given a computably generated set of axioms, let PROVABLE be the set of numbers which encode sentences which are provable from the given axioms.
Thus for any sentence s,
(1) < s > is in PROVABLE iff s is provable.
Since the set of axioms is computably generable,
so is the set of proofs which use these axioms and
so is the set of provable theorems and hence
so is PROVABLE, the set of encodings of provable theorems.
Since computable implies definable in adequate theories, PROVABLE is definable.
Let s be the sentence "This sentence is unprovable".
By Tarski, s exists since it is the solution of:
(2) s iff < s > is not in PROVABLE.
(3) s iff < s > is not in PROVABLE iff s is not provable.
Now (excluded middle again) s is either true or false.
If s is false, then by (3), s is provable.
This is impossible since provable sentences are true.
Thus s is true.
Thus by (3), s is not provable.
Hence s is true but unprovable.
|Note 1. An analysis of the proof shows that the axioms don't have to be true. It suffices that (a) the system is consistent and (b) it can prove the basic facts needed to do arithmetical computations, e.g., prove that 2+2=4. The latter is needed to encode sequences of numbers and insure that computable sets are definable.Note 2. Godel discovered that the sentence "This sentence is unprovable" was provably equivalent to the sentence CON:
"There is no < s > with both < s > and < not s > in PROVABLE".
CON is the formal statement that the system is consistent.

Gravitywell's new marketing campaign for WPD
Gravitywell designed and delivered an online marketing campaign to promote Western Power's Power Cut Reporter apps. This included video production, digital ads and social media messaging.
The focus was on Western Power's desire to take care of their customers, as the purpose of the app was to communicate on a personal and human level. Two themes steered the style and content of the short films: 'we're never too far away' (to get in touch with) and 'we'll let you know' (if a power cut might affect you or a loved one).
Gravitywell produced two adverts / films that reflect each of the two campaign messages, as well as providing a number of additional materials such as stings and stills for use across Western Power's social media channels. A campaign and schedule was mapped for the client's internal social media team.
Production of the videos included storyboard, casting. Location scouting, set dressing, photography, filming, directing, editing and animation / effects.
The social media campaign is currently running (February 2018) and you can catch it on Western Power's Twitter, Facebook and Youtube channels.
You can find out more about the project on Gravitywell's website and download the Power cut reporter app for both Android and iOS.

As gamers ourselves, ROCCAT™ understands that times have changed and gaming has evolved. Gaming has gone multi-platform and become ubiquitous. Gamers want a refined, fluid experience that they can enjoy everywhere rather than awkwardly swapping between expensive peripherals that are limited to a single device. They want one single headset that replaces all of their other ones – one headset for everything, with nothing else needed.

High portability doesn't mean low quality sound. The Cross is designed as a primary headset for world-beating audio everywhere, not a secondary device with convenience as its only benefit. Head and shoulders above the competition in its class, the Cross provides unmatched audio quality.
It features large 50mm neodymium magnet driver units for studio-grade stereo sound with deep bass, perfect for gaming, calls, music and movies. With earcups and driver units aligned perfectly to your ear, it guarantees top quality sound at home and on the go.

Top 100 Tips for Windows 8
Book Description
Go beyond the basics and discover the Secrets of Windows 8. This straight forward guide is full of practical step-by-step visual instructions. Screen shots help you learn visually and quickly become productive. From the best selling author of the Kindle Fire Tips & Tricks. Hello, I'm Tim Sievers. I've used every Microsoft Operating System (OS) since the days of MS-DOS in the 1980's and over the years I've seen huge improvements in usability and design. However, looking back only one previous version of the OS stands out in my mind as a truly radical re-think of its predecessors, until now. In its day, Windows 95 was a game changer, users no longer had to deal with the dreaded DOS command-line because the user-friendly graphical Desktop was at the forefront of the user experience. After 17 years, Microsoft has dared to re-imagine Windows again. The promotion of the new "Modern User Interface" (Modern UI) ahead of the Desktop and Microsoft's push for developers to focus on building web-based touch-enabled apps for a new generation of tablets, laptops and PC's is a major change. I can still see the Desktop remaining a big part of the user experience for a long time to come, but like Windows 95 all those years ago, Windows 8 stands out as a radical redesign. This guide is a collection of the best 100 tips that I have found for Windows 8. Designed to help you get up to speed quickly, this guide covers both the new Modern UI and the improved features of the Desktop. Because Windows 8 is built for both touchscreen and traditional computing devices I have included both touchscreen gesture and keyboard/mouse instructions. Also, as a bonus extra, I have included a list of the most common Windows 8 Keyboard Shortcuts. This handy reference is divided into several categories to help you quickly find the shortcut you need, when you need it. So, whether you've just started using Windows 8 or you've been using it for a while, I'm sure you'll find some useful tips here that will improve your Windows 8 experience.

You might get the above error message when you try to call your voice mail hosted on Exchange 2007 SP1 UM from your Office Communicator Phone Edition (OCPE) powered device. The likely cause of the issue is a mismatch between the VoIPSecurity setting of your SIP URI UM dial plan and the Security – Encryption level setting on the A/V Conferencing properties on your OCS 2007 pool.
The OCPE device use the Security – Encryption level setting to determine, if media should be encrypted or not. The default setting is Require encryption and OCPE will then send media using SRTP. If the UM dial plan VoIPSecurity parameter is set to SIPSecured Exchange 2007 SP1 UM will not accept the SRTP based media and you get the error message above on OCPE. Changing your UM dial plan to have the VoIPSecurity parameter set to Secured will fix the issue. This is the recommended setting, since this ensures that media is sent in a secure way.

Two leaders of the House Oversight and Government Reform committee are questioning the harsh federal prosecution of Aaron Swartz and the bulked-up felony charges against him even as the Pentagon - citing official talk of possible "cyber-Pearl Harbor" attacks by mysterious foreign hackers, extremist groups or "aggressor nations" - has announced it will expand its cyber-security force fivefold to over 4,000 people. Glenn Greenwald and other critics charge the move is part of a fear-mongering campaign that will expand the role of the U.S. as the world's leading cyber-aggressor, privatize government cyber-spying, and make a few companies lots of oversight-free money while at the same time posing new threats to our privacy and Internet freedom.
"What Dwight Eisenhower called the military-industrial complex has been feeding itself on fear campaigns since it was born. A never-ending carousel of Menacing Enemies - Communists, Terrorists, Latin American Tyrants, Saddam's chemical weapons, Iranian mullahs - has sustained it, and Cyber-Threats are but the latest."

Back on December 12, BBC Radio 1's premiere tastemaker named British singer Marika Hackman's playfully enchanting "Cannibal" the "Hottest Record In the World." You may not have noticed because you were worried about the oncoming apocalypse, but Hackman's intricately quirky lyrics (primarily concerned with metaphorical self-mutilation and cannibalism) and delicately firm voice held promise for those that like a bit more of the bizarre in their pop.
"Retina Television" continues to showcase Hackman's particular gifts. Over clopping percussion and a gorgeous, wordless vocal melody, Hackman sings of falling from grace and the comforts of a lover's arms–tried and true territory, given new life with a simple, striking arrangement. "Retina Television" feels both timeless and entirely modern, easily pegged as a product of modern experiments in odd-pop, but of a piece with the work of Nico and Suzanne Vega (it wouldn't be entirely surprising to hear "Retina Television" was an outtake from the latter's seminal Solitude Standing).
A beautiful soundtrack to getting lost in thought as you begin the week.

A Correct View of Authority
A Correct Translation
"All souls are subject to Supreme Authority. Indeed there is no authority except that of YHWH. Moreover the authority that comes to agree (with YHWH) are appointed under YHWH. Whoever sets himself up in opposition to this authority stands against the arrangement of YHWH. Moreover, the opposer will be held in judgment."

Qodesh – 'Set Apart'
The words holy or sanctify are often used as religious words today. However, the origins of these words resides in ancient sun worship and false religion. The reality is that the words holy and sacred have nothing to do with being set apart to YHWH Elohim, said to be translated from the Hebrew word "Qodesh." Qodesh is understood as righteous or set-apart for a special purpose. The essential concept of the word qodesh is one of apartness and distinction. Disciples of Yahshua [Jesus] the Messiah are to be set apart to Elohim, clearly defined from the world [kosmos] as servants or representatives of YHWH Elohim.

VIP News: Santa Claus and the Grinch sighted at the Goodgame Christmas party!
This year we celebrated our company's much awaited Christmas party on December 5th. Our team worked their magic to transform the Edelfettwerk venue into a winter wonderland just for this special event. Employees were first welcomed into the outdoor square for their very own Christmas market stocked with sumptuous snacks, mulled wine, hot cocktails etc. The party then proceeded indoors where the venue was glittering with festive decorations and small market stands were set-up to serve a delectable dinner buffet. Adding on to that, to satisfy our sweet cravings there were exclusive crepe and baked apple stands. Just like at every proper German Christmas market, packs of roasted almonds helped to satisfy the needs of even the most discerning sweet tooth.
Before everyone could delve into the abundance of delicious drinks and flavorful food, our CEO Kai briefly addressed and thanked all Goodgamers for the great job they've been doing this year. It didn't take long for the dance floor to spring to life with flashing lights and pumping beats. Those who wanted a break from the dancing also had the option to visit Santa's Lounge or the North Pole. Santa Claus welcomed all of the naughty and nice Goodgamers to his home while the Grinch even donned a smile especially for the occasion. Our employees took pictures with the two to prove that no one is ever too old for a visit to the North Pole! Lots of teams took advantage of this opportunity to take a group picture as a nice souvenir from this magical evening. Santa was a good sport and bore all of those mischievous Goodgamers on his lap with a smile. Since the Grinch was too busy contributing his green grin to the photos to snatch up any of the Secret Santa gifts, our little elves were able collect them from under the tree and pass them out to all participating employees.
It was truly another wonderful party for Goodgame Studios and a great way to bring a perfect year to an end!

German Christmas Markets … a 700 year tradition
German Christmas markets are a centuries old tradition in Germany. The markets light up communities with gaiety, fun, laughter, companionship, good food and drink during the advent season.
Charming Christmas markets are a good antidote to holiday commercialism. Instead of mass-produced gifts, the markets feature unique, hand-crafted items, purchased from vendors who have often crafted the items themselves.
During the Christmas season, there are Christkindlmarkts throughout Germany. Each Christkindlmarkt has its own special charm, unique to the community and region. Visit a German Christmas Market to experience the sights, smells and sounds of an Old World Christmas.
History of German ChristkindlmarktChristmas markets have been a German tradition for 700 years. Seasonal markets were held in Germany year around. Christmas markets were an especially joyous, anticipated event, as they brought light and laughter to a cold, dark season.
Each town had a unique market. Local tradesmen sold their wares at the market, which gave each market an individual flavor. Food and beverages served were produced in the region, so each town's offerings were a little different. Tradesmen lined the streets with handmade wares, displaying distinctive regional characteristics.
Christmas markets, known as Christkindlmarkts, were a festive meeting place for people. Villagers bought and sold homemade Christmas ornaments, decorations, and gifts. Traditional German handicrafts at the markets included hand carved nutcrackers, wooden smokers, wooden figures, cuckoo clocks, straw ornaments and blown glass ornaments.
Martin Luther's Role in Christmas CustomsReligious reformer Martin Luther played a major role in our current Christmas customs. Luther instituted new Christmas gift giving traditions. Before Luther, the exchange of Christmas presents took place on the Saint Days of St.. Nicholas (December 6) or St. Martin (November 11). The tradition of giving gifts to children on Christmas became a boon to the Markets.
Martin Luther suggested that children receive presents from "The Christ Child", Christkindl. German Christmas Markets are called Christkindlmarkt.
The Christkindl delivers presents to children on Christmas. Christkindl is a romantic, fairy like being, dressed in white and gold, with golden hair topped by a golden crown. Christkindl is the German equivalent of Santa Claus.
Christmas Markets Across Germany are Unique Celebrations
Christmas markets are a delightful way to begin holiday festivities. The crisp, cold air fills with the fragrance of sizzling sausages, sweet pastries, spices and hot spiced gluhwein. Booths sell sweet treats, such as chocolates, cakes, pastries, cookies and candies. Music of Christmas fills the air, in preparation for Christmas.
Christmas markets are preparation for the Holy Christmas day. The days following Christmas are a time for family gatherings and holiday meals.
Today's markets are much the same as they have been for hundreds of years. The crowds at the German Christmas markets today are likely much bigger than they were hundreds of years ago, but the markets are still a warm, friendly gathering place and a festive part of the Christmas holidays
The Christmas Market concept has now spread throughout Europe and to North America. Christkindlmarket Chicago started in 1995 and now attracts over a million people each year. The Vancouver Christmas Market will feature the best attributes of Germany's top Christmas Markets, will attract hundreds of thousands of people this year, and will become an annual tradition for the city of Vancouver.

Census Bureau: LI population mostly flat
Long Island's 2012 population remained mostly flat over the past year, with Suffolk County showing a drop while Nassau County posted a net gain, according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates released Thursday.
The Island had a population gain of 2,341 from July 1, 2011, to July 1, 2012 -- far lower than the 10,000-plus increase the bureau estimated for the region between the same dates from 2010 to 2011.
Suffolk lost 9,463 people to other parts of the United States -- what the bureau calls domestic migration. The county saw an influx of 3,753 people through international migration, according to the estimates, but it wasn't enough to offset the domestic loss.
Suffolk's overall population, usually the engine that drives population increases for the Island, dropped by about 1,000 people: from 1,500,338 to 1,499,273 between 2011 and 2012.
Between the 2000 census and 2010 census, Suffolk's population grew 5.2 percent while Nassau's rose just 0.4 percent.
It was Nassau, however, that posted a modest gain in population most recently, rising from 1,345,827 on July 1, 2011, to 1,349,233 a year later -- a 3,400-plus gain.
Nassau had fewer domestic migration losses than Suffolk. The county lost 3,053 people who moved elsewhere in the nation, while it attracted slightly more -- 3,287 -- from other countries, according to the estimates.
Jan Vink, a researcher with Cornell University's Program on Applied Demographics, said he "would not be surprised" if Suffolk's domestic-migration number is revised next year.
"I think that's a high number for Suffolk," Vink said. Those migration estimates for the region have fluctuated widely over the last decade, he noted.
He said he views the domestic migration figure as "kind of preliminary," noting it is based in part on IRS tax filings that may be incomplete.
The Cornell program is an affiliate of the Federal-State Cooperative Program on Population Estimates, which consults with the Census Bureau.
To calculate population estimates, the bureau analyzes birth and death records as well as figures from other sources. For domestic migration, it looks at the number of federal income tax returns for those under age 65 that are filed over two years, along with Medicare information for the elderly. It matches that data against addresses and calculates a rate, because not everyone files a tax return or is on Medicare.
The bureau also uses its American Community Survey to assess international migration.
Another longtime source of regional population estimates has been the Long Island Power Authority. But spokesman Mark Gross said the utility is not putting out a survey for 2012, citing a lack of resources.
LIPA still tracks electric meter hookups. John Little, director of regulatory sales and prices, said residential meter hookups on Jan. 1, 2012, "were basically unchanged from 2011" for both Nassau and Suffolk. "We're seeing no growth in the number of residential accounts," he said.

Making an Appearance on Facebook
brian on 2006.12.23
at 11:44 am
Many of you out there may have heard me proclaim, "MySpace? Yuck! Never." Quite simply, it offended my design sensibilities. Actually, strike that. It still does. It's a freaking mess. I also lumped Facebook in with that. Not because it was ugly, but because it was a walled garden that came out after I could have signed up from college, and it was sort of like MySpace, and I couldn't really see in, so I just assumed.
Well two things have happened since then. One, Facebook opened its doors to everyone, and two, I now work at a web think tank, where we tend to mention MySpace or Facebook daily. Finally, the other day I caved. Research, of course. Actually, I've decided that there are enough good things about the social networking sites that outweigh the bad (and in MySpace's case, the awful). Mainly, I wanted a place where old friends from high school or college could stumble upon me. I've come to realize very few of my in-contact friends have ever visited my blogs, which is what I reasoned was my substitute for these sites. Thus, I doubted anyone would want to stumble over me so much that they would Google me, but there's a significant chance that they would find me when browsing one of these sites for classmates. I attempted to sign up for both MySpace and Facebook.
As if trying to sure-up my opinion about it, MySpace shit the bed while I was trying to sign up. "A Message was sent to our technical team." Jake says "Their technical team is a bunch of 12 year olds." So are their designers. Listen up: any site that auto-plays music deserves a good punch in the developer's face.
That sent me to Facebook. I found their sign up to be easy, thorough, and fully of notes about your privacy, which is clear they take seriously, and is a major concern on sites like these. The only downside was that when it scanned my contact book from GMail to look for email addresses of my friends, it didn't find people that I knew were both on Facebook and who I had their address, just not as the first address listed. The fact that I allowed it to log into my GMail account to begin with was super sketchy. I figured they had had enough privacy concerns raised over their couple of years of existence that they were going to truly not do anything evil and that they'd wipe my credentials from their system immediately. A leap of faith indeed. The next thing that sort of bothered me was that after I had it scan my address book, it offered to befriend those people who it had matched in the system. Except, it didn't tell me exactly what it would be doing. And in the case of some people, that meant receiving a text message on their cell phone. I found this out only because I was chatting with Jake at the time, and he knew I had added him before I had told him, because he was one of the people who got a text message. I'm pretty that my boss also got one, because he added me almost instantly. In my case, that's cool, because it likely didn't bother him, but you could see how that could raise an issue. Granted, no one got a message that didn't explicitly tell the Facebook system "send me an SMS if someone requests an add." But still, it's essentially me sending that SMS.
So at the end of the day, Facebook 1, MySpace 0. Except that I didn't stop there. Facebook kept calling me to add stuff, and I probably had a good two hours of mine sucked away that night. I still haven't filled in the profile. That'll be a few more hours, certainly. I put up a few token pics, so that wasn't empty. Pretty good upload interface there. The tour du force, however, is the notes feature. Essentially a blog for your profile, when you post, it shows up in your friend's news feed… essentially a news ticker of people in their social circles that shows up on their home page. Essentially an RSS aggregator. Actually, since you can subscribe to a notes feed over RSS, I'm pretty damn sure all the shared content on Facebook are essentially feeds. Clever. But it gets better. For my purposes, I pretty much never plan to visit the site. I'll get notified by email when most things happen. But the thing is, I blog here, and here, and post to Flickr, and I don't want to duplicate my work on Facebook. But the notes feature allows me to enter an address to an RSS or Atom feed which will be flowed into my notes, intertwined with anything I would ever enter on the actual site. Brilliant! Most people have no clue about feeds, and if they're on Facebook, and they're my friend, they receive my feeds. A grand new distribution scheme. And within minutes of my feed being entered, I had a comment on Facebook (there's an option to go to the original post or to comment on it directly with in the regular notes feature) on a post a made weeks back.
One problem was that the notes feature only allows one feature, and I had many feeds. Like I said above, two blogs and Flickr… all three have feeds. Well, as I posted on Facebook, there's a cool way around that: Suprglu. Now with my RSS life patched together into a single feed, I was set.
So, the last thing… do I go back to MySpace and try again? The thing that prompted all of this was a long lost high school friend out in LA had posted to his MySpace blog, which I picked up in my normal feed reader. Does he have Facebook? He didn't show up in my searches. Does he know about Facebook? Probably, he stuck around college a good long time, getting as many degrees as he could muster, so when he was leaving, it was probably just starting, but does he know that he can now join without being actively at a college? Facebook has the obstacle that most people think it's only for college kids. I'm sure I have friends on MySpace who are not on FaceBook, who may not know about Facebook, or know they can sign up, or may just not want to join yet another social site. So I'll leave that for another day, most likely in the new year.
To summarize, my experiences with Facebook have been almost all exceptional, and my experiences with MySpace continue to be disappointing. Facebook is now available to everyone, and if you're thinking about joining, you should. I didn't think I'd have a lot of people on my friends list, and within 24 hours I had 15 friends. So give it a shot. Perhaps it'll have more staying power that Friendster, Orkut, Ryze, and the other hundred that fell before…

I upgrade two ibex last night and found few sound problems below
First, on video file(mpg,avi ..), when right click and choose >open with >mplayer. will bring up error " [AO_ALSA] Unable to find simple control 'PCM',0 ".
I'm not sure what it is, maybe the config just is not right but I fix this by right click on movie window-> preference then on audio tab, select 'Enable Software Mixer'. [or you can do this by change 'softvol = "no"' to 'softvol = "yes"' in $HOME/.mplayer/gui.conf]
Another sound issue is flash player on web[like youtube] not play sound. /var/log/message said

3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern / 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. Pacific
Academics do not always think of ourselves as creative. But, we are. Creating meaningful new ideas requires creativity. Creativity involves seeing problems in new ways, recognizing which ideas are worth pursuing, and figuring out new ways to understand the world. In this webinar, Tanya Golash-Boza will explain three strategies you can use to cultivate your creativity: 1) focus on your writing, 2) take care of yourself; and 3) engage with others about your work. Drawing from her own experience as well as research on creativity and productivity, Professor Golash-Boza will explain how academics can become more creative writers.

Our friends Sarah and George were joining us for the evening and we made a stop in at Deep Ellum in Allston for some grub and pints. Despite having just ate, we were still planning our plan of attack for the snacks that were going to be available to us.
|Sarah and Sarah work together & share an office. Crazy Love.
The event took place on the studio grounds in Brighton, and proved to be a sort of hidden gem for a beer festival. While the campus of WGBH is vast, there was a good sized alley of sorts where the beer tents were set up. Aside from the free parking, this festival had some of the best food we've ever seen.
As soon as you walked through the gate, you were greeted instantly by the Roxy's Gourmet Grilled Cheese Food Truck. Churning out overwhelmingly good, gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches, you couldn't help but stop in for a snack.
The brewers were set up on either side of the alley, just around the corner. In addition to brewers like Slumbrew, Baxter Brewing Co., Pretty Things, Watch City Brewing, Peak Organic, Smuttynose, White Birch, and more, there were also some other awesome vendors there. Our friends Kate and Suzanne from Craft Beer Cellar were offering up samples of a variety of choice Belgian beers, including the ever so rare Westvleteren XII, as well as some other incredibly hard to get beer like The Alchemist's Heady Topper!
|No vessel is too small for a koozie!
The folks from Modern Homebrew Emporium in Cambridge were on hand and were actually brewing a beer. They were offering advice to those looking to get into the hobby, and additional pointers to the many homebrewers who were in attendance.
Over by the live music, the Moyzilla Food Truck was cranking out various delicious small bites like dumplings and grilled chicken skewers. You couldn't help but fill up!
The lines for beer were long at times, but they were always moving. These brewers are serious professionals and know how to keep the crowd happy.
The only drawback from this event was the periodical light rain that fell. Fortunately, it was light and we had beer, so it wasn't much of an issue. The free parking was a definite bonus! It sounds like the event was a success, so don't be surprised if you see the 2nd Annual installment next summer!

Rodley Nature Reserve
8 comments:
Great you can still get out without a car, had thought of going this week as they had been trapping moths, rain put me of. Although it's a nice place to visit, like most places at this time it can be a bit quiet for bird watching. Noticed on Facebook there is good numbers of warblers near wildlife area at far end of Yeadon dam.ReplyDelete
If you are free this weekend the food festival is on at Ilkley, catch the train in.
Amanda xReplies
I think they ended up cancelling the moth trapping anyway because of the rain?! Oh yes everywhere is a little quiet right now, still it's worth getting out as you never know! I saw about the Warblers too.Delete
Ah that sounds fun but this weekend I have a car so we're heading out and about :) x
Lovely post Pam and good to hear you can reach the reserve easily on public transport - some places can be so difficult without a car.ReplyDelete
Well done on the Spotted Flycatcher - have visited many local churchyards this year but yet to see one :(
I agree that was a good day out! I have to look up the spotted flycatcher...great you got to see it! Some really impressive butterflies in your post...and that cute little grebe!!ReplyDelete
I've only seen a spotted flycatcher once! You were in the right place at the right time :) Great you can still get out without the car - hope it's back on the road soon.ReplyDelete

Previous iterations of the OneNote strategy recommendations used a section named 'Inbox'. This section was the entry point for all notes coming into the OneNote system. Actually, OneNote already has such an entry point: Quick Notes.
Quick Notes is a default section in OneNote, with special features. For instance, ⊞ Win+N creates a new note located in Quick Notes. So, let's go with the flow. ALL new notes should start in Quick Notes. Whenever you start taking notes, either use the ⊞ Win+N combination or click Add Page within the Quick Notes section. Once you have finished with the note, move it to the appropriate location.

Media revenues decrease for Rogers in Q3
While overall revenues increased by 3%, lower Blue Jays' revenues contributed to a dip in the media segment this quarter.
Rogers Communications' overall revenue increased by 3% in the third quarter of 2018, though its media segment did not contribute to those gains.
In its Q3 financial results announced Oct. 19, Rogers reported $3.77 billion in total revenues for the three-month period ended Sept. 30. While that's up from the same period in 2017, its media division, which is responsible for its print and digital magazine business, conventional and specialty television and the Toronto Blue Jays, did not share the same success.
Media revenue decreased 5% this quarter. Rogers cited the dip to lower revenues from the Blue Jays.
Rogers does not offer the detailed segmented media results; however, according to its earnings, media as a whole brought in $488 million, down from $516 million in Q3 2017. In the 2018 fiscal year to date, media revenues stand at $1.63 billion, about $10 million more than the first nine months of 2017.
Media's profits were also slightly higher for the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $156 million, up from $90 million. Rogers attributed the 20% growth to "lower operating expenses from improvements we made to our cost structure across the divisions." This past summer saw the layoff of 75 employees from Rogers' editorial and content division, representing about one-third of that staff. The current profit margin for media is 15%.
Much of Rogers' revenue growth came from its wireless division, which brought in $2.33 billion (up from $2.2 billion). It's also brought in $983 million in revenue from cable, up from $977 million.
President and CEO Joe Natale said residential internet growth is "solid." The fall saw the launch of the mass market awareness campaign for its new IPTV product, Ignite TV. While the product has only been in market since early September, Natale said that given Rogers' strong year-to-date performance, the company is raising its full-year guidance.
Initially, Rogers predicted that 2018′s total revenue would increase by 3 to 5% (up from 2017′s revenue of $14.37 billion); profits would increase by 5 to 7% (up from $5.5 billion); expenditures would fall between $2.65 billion and $2.85 billion, and free cash flow would increase by 3 to 5% (up from $1.69 billion). The company now predicts that profits will increase between 7 and 9%, and free cash flow will increase between 5 and 7%. No adjustments have been made to revenue or expenses.

My grandmother always used the word "beautemous" … drawing out the last syllables, and here are two mint recipes that just might do that. One is for thicker hair and one is for a lip balm for fuller lips. Both are compliments of Woman's World magazine.
And, if you're worried about finding mint now that it's almost autumn – don't be. These beauty recipes call for peppermint essential oil, not the live plant.
NOTE: be sure you use real peppermint essential oil and not fake stuff. They contain the essence of the mint plant which chemical garbage does not. In other words, that made-in-a-lab junk won't accomplish anything positive!
So here are two simple, quick and easy beauty recipes with only three ingredients each.
Mint For Thick, Healthy Hair
1/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon honey
4-6 drops peppermint essential oil
Mix the ingredients and massage them into your scalp for about two minutes. Allow the mint mixture to sit on your hair for 20 minutes, then shampoo as usual.
Mint For Gorgeous Lips
1 Tablespoon of beeswax pellets
2 Tablespoons coconut oil
7-10 drops of peppermint essential oil
In a saucepan, gently and slowly melt the wax and coconut oil. Then add in the peppermint and stir. Transfer to a small jar and allow it to cool. Use your fingertips to smooth it onto your lips.
Important: high heat will destroy essential oil so don't do your melting quickly and on high heat. Or, if you do, allow it to cool somewhat before adding the mint.
We promised you simple and easy and these two mint beauty recipes definitely deliver.

Digital Editing
There's not much we love more than the excitement and honest musicality of a live performance. But we also recognize human fallibility and the value of being able to fix the occasional zinger. Creating a seamless (and musical) performance out of your source material is what digital editing is all about. We'll never edit and tell, but in the past we've pieced together performances from different dates, different venues, and sometimes even different musicians. You may have heard some of these recordings, but we guarantee you haven't "heard" any of these edits! For heavy-duty editing precision, we like to use soundBlade, built on the legendary (and oft-imitated) editing platform of Sonic Solutions.

Hi! My name is Brooks and I'm 17. When I'm not in the kitchen, you'll find me playing lacrosse or basketball. I'm a senior in high school, and I'm currently applying for college- where I will choose to study business.
Welcome to my food blog that my parents gave me for my 10th birthday! For the last 12 years, I have been watching my mom (RecipeGirl) make all kinds of gourmet treats in our kitchen. I've made some excellent things as well, and I've learned a lot from my Mom. I've won a few ribbons in local food contests, and I was hired along with my Mom to be a spokesperson for McCormick Spice Company's Generation Fresh. For that project, we developed healthy recipes and appeared on camera in recipe videos too. Companies occasionally hire me to partner with them to create recipes and share them on my blog.
I am growing up as a foodie- trying all kinds of foods that most kids would normally refuse to eat. My goal for this food blog is share good, easy recipes to make at home. Enjoy!
If you're interested in having me represent your brand, please contact me through my Mom's email: foodie (at) recipegirl (dot) com and she can help work out the details of a possible partnership.
Side note: I'm also heavily into lacrosse. I string and dye tons of lacrosse heads for people all over the country, and I work with lacrosse companies to review their products. You can check out my lacrosse company on Instagram: High Sierra Strings: https://www.instagram.com/highsierrastrings/
P.S. f.y.i The majority of the revenue that this food blog makes from advertising and projects goes directly into my college savings account. I appreciate your support!
