Imagine Your Life Without Message Boards
Picture yourself sitting in an airport terminal with no boards to tell you when the flights are coming in or going out. How about sitting at the train station with no idea which train you're even supposed to be on. Or maybe looking around for the ferry with no idea when it's expected. All of these things could be very real concerns if there were no LED message boards available. Have you ever really thought about all the different ways you use message boards in your daily life? It's not even just when you travel. It's actually nearly every day.
Who We Are
We are Ampron, makers of high quality, cutting edge LED message boards and solutions that can be used by anyone, anywhere. Started in 2012, Ampron has a strong foundation in military and civil aviation. In fact, it was founded on over 18 years of expertise in leadership, avaiation systems management and systems development. Even more, we pride ourselves on providing excellence for our customers and for everyone on our team because we know you expect the best. That's why every aspect of our business follows proper protocols and high standards, to make sure we're producing a great product from beginning to end.
But just what are we doing? We're making LED message boards in Estonia, Europe and shipping them all over the world. Right now, we're looking to create long-term partnerships because we believe that's the best thing about business. We know that when you work with us you're going to be happy with the outcome and that you're going to see us as your trusted partner for all of your message board needs and beyond. All it's going to take is one experience with our demonstration and you're going to be looking for a board for your business. And we'll even come to you to make that demonstration right in your office.
What Message Boards Do
LED message boards are used by just about everyone in the transportation industry. Whether you travel by car, by bus, by train, subway, plane, boat or any other method, you're probably using message boards of some type all the time. They tell you what time the train will get to the terminal. They give you updates on the road conditions or construction and they let you know about weather warning. All of these things are important for your daily life, and yet, many of us don't even think twice about them.
It's not just transportation however, because message boards tell us other things as well. You may see them telling you about a sale at your favorite store or a special at a local restaurant. They might be letting you know about an upcoming performance at a school or theater or about a big event coming soon. There are so many different things that message boards can tell you and so many different companies, businesses and organizations that can use them that it's a wonder we don't think about them more.
Who Needs Message Boards?
In general, just about anyone with a business could use a message board. Whether you're the president of a major corporation or a sole proprietor just trying to make a go of things for the first time, you can definitely use one of these boards. Because they can showcase absolutely any message that you want they work for any industry, which makes them a great advertising tool for just about anyone. Whether you're working for a school or a bakery, an automotive shop or a theater, you can get a whole lot of use out of one of these LED message boards. You just have to know how to use it.
How Message Boards Work
Message boards are super easy to use and super easy to program exactly the way you want them. You get to choose the style of the board that you're looking for and then you get to set up the message that you want it to say. What's even better is that the messages are easy to change out. So if you want it to have a specific message for a single day only you can quickly and easily set it up and then change it the next day. All it takes is a computer connected to the system.
What You Can Expect
When you're looking for message boards you want to make sure that you have the best quality possible. You want to make sure that the board you're getting is going to work for your task and your situation. Sometimes that means you're going to be indoors and there's not going to be a lot of risk to the unit. Other times you might be outdoors and need something that can stand up to a little more abuse from the work environment or from the weather. No matter what style of board you're looking for Ampron is able to help you.
We have three different types of LED message boards, which include a rugged version, a compact version and a video wall version. Rugged boards work well outdoors, at bus terminals, airports and even on the streets. Compact boards are better for areas that don't have a lot of extra room or where you don't have as big of a message to get across. And of course, video wall boards are great for when you need to get a whole lot of information out at the same time.
Not only that but we have industry specific boards that will fit into your industry with no problem. If you need something for the transportation and security industry, aerospace, retail and commercial, industrial, sports or anything else, we have options that will make it a whole lot easier for you to get started. After all, you don't have the time to sort through a lot of options when you're trying to run a business. You want to make sure you get what you need and get back on your way.
But what if none of these types of boards is the ideal one for you? What if you need something a little bit different to fit into your space? It's absolutely not a problem because we also do custom work. We can take the specifications that you have and the size requirements that you have and create a board, entirely from scratch, that will work for you. That's how we make sure to put our customers first. You're the one who needs a board to let your customers or your employees know what's going on in your business and we want to be the ones to provide you with that opportunity.
What Our Boards Can Do
Our boards offer full color, so you can get a brilliant array and design that looks just the way you pictured it. They also have full matrix LED SMD arrays and support not only text, but text with effects, moving gifs and even png files. That means you're going to have a wide range of different options when it comes to just what your board is going to look like and what it's going to communicate to your potential audience. There's no reason to make your board boring, especially when you add in the ability to add a live video feed to your message.
If you add in a video controller that live video feed is going to be no problem at all. And if you're looking for additional features we have plenty of them available. You can get a brightness sensor, which will automatically adjust the brightness of the board based on the brightness it detects in the surrounding area. You can get connectivity through WiFi, GPRS, 4G or 5G and you can get custom-built software that is designed specifically for your industry and your needs.
We also offer Secure Socket Layer communication as an upgraded feature to make sure that everything that's being reported on your board is secure and no one else can change your message. Plus there are indoor and outdoor version of each board and extended warranty options so you can make sure your board is better protected from anything that might happen. Get as much as 100,000 hours of life out of each board and high resolution so it's always easy to see exactly what you're trying to say or show to your potential audience.
Each board is made with an aluminum die casting that makes it as light as possible while still protecting the components. These materials are durable and long lasting, at least as long as the electronics of the board itself and the whole thing operates at a low temperature. That means you don't need to worry about it overheating. The unit will keep itself cool enough to continue operation and you'll be able to just get on with the rest of running our business. Once you set what you want on your board you won't have to worry about it again until you're ready to change out the message for your customers.
Why You Want Us
So, why do you want to work with Ampron to get your LED message boards? Well, you're going to get all of the different options we already talked about, plus the option for custom boards. You're also going to get great quality, lower cost of ownership and the top productivity around. You're going to have absolutely everything that it takes to get the job done because we pride ourselves on offering the best of the best. We use only the best materials and we run all of our products through quality testing to make sure they're going to work for you.
Not only that but we want to keep it simple for you. We want to make sure that you can use our LED message boards whenever and however you want and that you're going to have support in case you ever have any questions. Our support team is always standing by to make sure you have the information you need to keep your board doing exactly what it's meant to do. Troubleshooting, questions, concerns, requests and everything else can be taken care of in no time with our top notch team because we make sure they're knowledgeable about everything related to our products.
Our products utilize a proprietary communication protocol software that makes them easy to program without the need for a video controller. Not only that but we have a central server software that is designed for scalability and integration. All of these things are combined with the live information processing that you would expect from any form of message board. And the boards allow for fully autonomous operation. All of these features make sure that our boards are more reliable than what you'll find anywhere else. That's going to make them the ideal solution for your business, whatever it may be.
On top of all of this our rugged version is the best weatherproof hardware solution in the world. Our boards are also the slimmest in the world, which makes them great for areas where space is definitely at a premium. Whatever needs you have for your board location, whether indoors or outdoors, we're able to accommodate you with either one of our premade boards or with a custom board just for you. After all, you want the ideal solution for your business, not just any old one-size-fits-all platform, right?
No matter what you're looking for when it comes to LED message boards you're going to find it with Ampron. We have the skills, the background and the experience to make sure that anything you need done is going to be done right and to the standards that you set. We make sure that all of our boards are ready to go and ready to do exactly what you need them for. All you need to do is let us know what you're looking for and we'll take care of all the rest. It really is just as simple as that.

Thursday night, my dad received a phone call notifying him that our hours are up for the caregiver program we qualified for. Long story, but in a nutshell, the Alzheimer's Association approved us for a program which allotted us a certain number of hours with a caregiver. We were under the impression that it was 30 hours a month from March until May. Apparently it was 30 hours total. So this left us without a caregiver on Friday.
Friday morning, I was prepping for my son's birthday party that I was to be throwing on Saturday. The cupcakes had just gotten out of the oven and I was making another batch of airplane lollipops when my husband informed me that our family friend, Shaun, was going to stop by my parent's house to get some roofing paper from dad's garage. We've been working on a treehouse for our kids and the roof was the last thing to finish up before the birthday party (Shaun was helping with that part). Knowing my mom, Jeff suggested to me that I call her beforehand to let her know that Shaun was dropping by so that she wasn't caught off guard. I figured that would be a good idea since she would likely not recognize Shaun when he showed up on her doorstep (on a side note…Shaun's family has been friends with our family since I was a kid; our parents were best friends before his mom and dad moved away to Utah about 8 years ago).
I called mom and no sooner than I told her Shaun would be stopping by than she interrupted me,
"I'm having a severe emergency at our house right now. It's so weird, weird things are happening and there's things crashing down in the living room too and making really loud noises and stuff falling from the ceiling too and it's real wet too. Everything is getting wet and I tried calling your dad and he's not answering his phone."
I tried to make sense of what she was telling me. I remembered a leak in a small area over the couch a few months ago during a rainy spell. I figured the leak must have returned somehow and that she was making a mountain out of a molehill; everything is severe to mom.
"Mom Shaun is coming by in a few minutes and he'll check it out for you, okay? He'll see what's going on for you and fix something if there's a problem," I tried explaining to her.
"Shaun. Who is Shaun?" she asked.
We went back and forth for a few minutes as I tried to remind her who Shaun is. Again, I reassured her that he would be there very soon and would check out whatever was going on, but she was insistent that I come over.
"I just wish you would come see what's going on right now."
I had so much to get done for the birthday party, but I could tell that mom really wanted me to come over and assist her with her "severe emergency." I finally told her that I would be there in 5 minutes. I hung up the phone, covered my cupcakes and was on my way out the door for what I figured would be a quick trip to soothe my mom.
My jaw dropped to the ground when mom opened the front door and I got a glimpse inside.
"Oh my gosh Mom!" I exclaimed, trying not to panic. I think I repeated myself several times as I stood in shock, trying to make sense of what I saw. Mom began rambling about how weird this was,
"I don't know what all this stuff is…what happened there?…this is so weird…this has never happened before…and it's so wet too, I can't even walk to the kitchen…"
I noticed that water was spraying down the doorway that separates the living room from the kitchen. The floor was covered in water. I knew immediately that the water needed to be shut off.
As luck would have it, Shaun works in plumbing. I called him right away and asked him if he was on his way and (probably in a very panicked voice) told him what was happening. He told me how to shut off the water and I quickly found the valve and shut it off. I called my dad next and got his voicemail. I called my brother-in-law, who works with my dad, with no luck. I called my sister. No answer. I finally texted a picture to my sister and told her to have Melvin (her husband) call me right away. She responded quickly that she would call Melvin and Shaun and Stephani (Shaun's wife) texted that they were just around the corner and coming as fast as they could!
Now that I knew help was coming, I knew I needed to get mom in a safe place. She kept making circles down the hallway and through her bedroom, which wraps around to a room addition that leads into the kitchen. I followed her around the house and urged her to come out and wait with me on the front porch. I wasn't sure if there were any other weak spots in the ceiling and I didn't want her to get hurt. Mom was concerned about the floor being so wet and ignored my pleas.
"I need to clean this up, it's so wet too," she said as she hopelessly tried mopping up inches of water off the floor. "I just don't understand where all this water is coming from, it's not even raining outside!"
After much coaxing and pleading, I was finally able to get her to abandon the mop and follow me out to the front door. My dad finally called me back and I told him we had a very serious situation and he was needed at home. When I told him the ceiling had fallen in, I think he was envisioning the same little spot over the couch that I had imagined when mom first told me of her severe emergency. He told me he was just finishing up at the tile store and was on his way.
Mom kept asking for dad and I reassured her (over and over) that he was on his way.
"Your dad is real good, he can fix that too. Are you sure you definitely talked to him? This is so weird…"
Within 5 minutes, Shaun and Stephani arrived as did my husband, Jeff, who just so happened to be home early from work that day. Right away, Shaun got a ladder and got up in that ceiling and figured out the source of the leak: the drip line that connected to the refrigerator. Once we figured that we were safe, and the rest of the ceiling wasn't going to fall in on us, we quickly got to work cleaning up the remnants of the ceiling that had thrown up all over the living room. It was a huge, disgusting mess. Fortunately, not too much was damaged. A few picture frames met their end, and the bookcase housing the DVD's busted, but dad's brand new TV and the furniture survived with no damage (other than the nastiness of the ceiling that had splattered all over)
As soon as mom saw that people were there to help her, she noted that it was lunch time and made her way into the kitchen to make a sandwich. She was a little confused as to why there was no water on to rinse her tomato. She stood by the sink and ate her sandwich as we started cleaning up the mess. We brought in a large trash bin from outside and started shoveling ceiling innards and broken picture frames into the bin. The dust and the smell was so overwhelming that I found a couple of masks for Stephani and me to wear while we worked. My sister showed up shortly after and assisted us in cleaning up the waste and moving furniture out of the room; the "clean" stuff went into a bedroom while we wiped down DVD's and other knick-knacks that were covered in mushy insulation. It was embedded in every nook and cranny and splattered as far as the walls in the hallway. What a mess to clean up!
By the time my dad arrived on scene, we had the bulk of the ceiling cleaned up off the floor and had started moving things out of the living room. I think it saved him from having a panic attack. Ha ha. He walked into the room and very thoughtfully and quietly looked up at the gaping hole in his ceiling. I was expecting some sort of a meltdown (he'd had a stressful week as it was!) but he handled it rather well. Right away, he got to work with us cleaning up the mess, repairing the water line and prepping the room to repair the ceiling. Thank goodness my dad is a handy man, he knows how to do it all! [It is now Sunday evening that I write this, and the entire living room ceiling has been replaced already!]
Mom eventually moseyed her way back into the living room and noticed the progress we had made in cleaning up the broken ceiling off the floor. I thought she would be happy to see the mess gone, but the gaping hole above her left her confused.
"What did you do with that stuff that goes up there? That stuff that was on the floor?" she asked, pointing to the empty floor.
"We threw it in the trash can, mom," I answered, explaining that dad would get new boards to put in it's place.
Mom didn't understand. She shook her head.
"No, you can't throw those things away. It needs to be fixed! That has to go back up there. You can't leave that like that, you have to put that stuff back up there. We can't have that like that!"
Mom raced to the trash can and began looking through to find the pieces of the ceiling in an effort to put it back together again. I tried to break it down simply for her.
"That part of the ceiling is broken Mom. Dad is going to get a new ceiling and fix it. Don't worry, there won't be a hole for long."
She wasn't satisfied with our answers and explanations, but dad was finally able to convince her to go play a game on the computer while we finished cleaning up the mess. A couple minutes later she returned to the living room with a birthday balloon in hand.
"Cassandra you forgot to take this round thing too for Ryder's birthday. Please take it, will you take it?"
"I'm really busy cleaning right now but if you leave it in the front bedroom I will take it home with me later," I replied.
"Huh? No, you need to take this. You forgot it the other day. Here, take it…" she continued to argue with me about the balloon as I was in the midst of cleaning up the mess. Stephani took the balloon from her and told her we would keep it "right here" (in the corner) until we were ready to leave. That settled mom down for a few more minutes, until she came out once again to declare to all,
"Well, it's my naptime now so I hope you all won't be real loud too."
We all chuckled and dad gently said,
"It's gonna be loud. We have to fix this ceiling so it's going to be loud for a little while. But you go lay down and rest."
"Yeah it's time for my nap. And thank you all you people who came to help me with all this," she added, waving her arm around the rubble.
Thank the heavens above that mom was not hurt that day. It really could have been a lot worse. I am counting my lucky stars that mom was not in the living room when the ceiling came crashing down. I don't want to think about the outcome had she been caught underneath that…with no caregiver there to help her! Thank goodness I called her that morning. I am so grateful to the friends and family who dropped what they were doing to come over right away and help out in mom's severe emergency!

Tiger gets Trounced
The opening of the 2006 European Tour season wasn't the kind of beginning that Tiger Woods expected.
Sheshan International Golf Club in Shanghai was supposed to be Tiger Woods' first win in China. Instead the number-one golfer on the PGA Tour suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of relative unknown David Howell. Although during the HSBC Champions Tournament Tiger Woods remained in contention he could not polish off Howell nor intimidate him.
Of a very large total purse of $5 million dollars, Howell received in excess of $800,000 while Tiger took a second place check of around $550,000...still not bad for a weekend's worth of golf.
Usually, when the Tiger is breathing down the backs of his competitors they often fold. Instead, David Howell turned the tables on Woods, marching out in front of Tiger after each of them hit their respective shots. And birdies were flying, although not from Woods but from Howell. Howell managed to birdie four of the first seven holes but had his blips on the eighth and ninth.
Tiger on the other hand had more trouble than expected and could only achieve two birdies on the front nine but wound up giving one back. In my opinion, Tiger's putting was letting him down this weekend. The greens were undulating and Tiger was also missing those easy putts, the ones from within five feet. Missing putts is the surest way not to score. Just look at Vijay Singh. He wasn't reading the line well and had trouble sinking the short ones too.
Howell took advantage of Tiger's troubles by pushing forward in spite of the fact that Tiger still could rally and decisively claimed two additional birdies on the back nine which would eventually lead to his exciting victory.
Even though it was a late round of golf I managed to stay awake because of the thrilling victory claimed by Howell.

2 cloves of garlic, skin removed and crushed
In a small bowl, add vital wheat gluten. Shift through it a bit to get any clumps out.
Add the remaining 3/4 cup vegetable broth, 2 tps soy sauce, smoked paprika, chili powder, and garlic powder.
Divide and mold into desired shapes. I tore mine in half, flatten out one half into slab for my rips, and made a patty and nuggets with the other half.
Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once it starts to boil, reduce to simmer and cook 45 mins to 1 hour.
Turn off the heat, leave the lid on and let it cool in the stock.
Once cool, remove the stock. It's ready to be used right away or can be stored for later.
Cut the strips into the steak like rips.
Rub the seitan steak with the BBQ rub. And yeah I know, traditionally you don't put sauce on it if you have a rub but that what I recipe I based this on said and I like the combination.
I think I like seitan better this way, but in the end I will go with whats cheapest. So unless vital wheat gluten is on sale, I will just make the flour dough and wash the stretch out. But I will totally make these ribs again sometime. They are chewy and smokey, so delicious.

Nearly two years ago, comedian Tracy Morgan was riding in a limousine with friends when a Walmart truck rear-ended them on a New Jersey highway, killing Morgan's good friend, and leaving him with several broken bones and serious brain trauma. In the months that followed, he underwent treatment at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, at times contemplating suicide due to the severity of his injuries and dark places his mind went.
He fought through it all though and made a triumphant public return 15 months after the accident in a surprise speech at the Emmys. Now he's gone even further to pay his dues to the people who saved his life. According to People, Morgan recently held a special stand-up show at the State Theatre near the hospital where he was treated, and several doctors and employees were in the audience. When the house lights came up at the end, he invited them all on stage to share in the moment.
"These people are heroes and I love them all from the bottom of my heart," he told People. "The only good thing that happened on that horrible night was that I was close to Robert Wood Johnson Hospital when the accident happened. God bless them all."
Going one step further, Morgan also donated all of the show's proceeds to the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital. Calling it "one of the most special nights of my life," he clearly wanted to give back to the people who brought him back from the brink.
Hey may have said he will "never fully be able to thank the doctors, nurses, first responders and everyone else that got me back on that stage enough," but that gesture alone probably got him pretty close.

No, I don't have the phone I had prior to this one. It was swapped out by the Green Bay store on Oneida St. But as well as the buttons not working on the bottom, I haven't been getting any service for the last few days. Again, I'm out of town for work. It's absolutely ridiculous these things keep happening. I can understand maybe one phone having an issue but two phones within less than 2 months of each other? Come on. Not to mention, I've just been reviewing my bills for the last 6 months and it really is amazing to me, how each month it increases. Some of it,I understand why, other things, I don't see my family or friends bills going up each month at Verizon or U.S. Cellular. I was calm the other day, now with the service issue and my billing issues, I'm irrate. No way this should be happening. Does Sprint want their customers to continue to leave? Especially their long term customers? I get the feeling they don't care if the whole company goes under. All I know is I'm not going to continue paying for this crappy LG G4,for the remainder of the lease. Why should I pay for something that does not work appropriately? If you lease a car, and have problems, you take it in, get it fixed or they give you a different one. And I've been told to many different things about the insurance, that's why I don't have it. It has never been explained completely accurate. So, sprint can work with me on my issues or I'll be going in with all of my 6 lines over the weekend dropping them on the counter and telling them, it's not you personally but take a flying leap. After I establish service with Verizon.
Well after dealing with Sprint all day about this issue and absolutely no help Just the run around and told it was my fault because there was a small chip on the very outer edge of my phone causing this issue. Completely not willing to listen or even care as she was texting during our conversation. I am not buying another junk phone.....
A small chip on the phone shouldn't be causing this. There's known issues with the G4, have you contacted LG because I have heard that they are replacing the phones with issues.
I Did talk to lg but I have to send them the phone and they can fix it and send it back To me but it would take about 2 weeks. And also I know the chip does not cause the issue I'm having but the so called tech at the sprint store swears it is. She was also texting the whole time I was trying to get help. So my guess is she blamed the chip so she could focus on her texting without me bothering her. Just the whole customer service thing seems non existent with sprint. I called a couple times trying to get a different answer and went into the store itself and nobody seemed to care. Just this whole deal put a bad taste in my mouth about this company. Especially since this problem is a manufacturer problem and not a sprint problem. You would think sprint would put pressure on them to put out a better product and be more than willing to send them back all the bad phones instead of sticking up for them. That's how things work these days I suppose.
Yeah I would be helpful if I had my old phone but that one was stuck on the LG logo screen. I've made up my decision. I am on my way home from being out of town for work tomorrow I will go into Verizon inactive 6 new lines there. Then going to Sprint and say here you go take all these phones and shove it the way you treat customers after how many years of service is ridiculous. And because of this my sisters and my mom I have also decided to leave Sprint. It may just be a few people right now but when you tell the horror stories people think wow that could happen to me and I don't want to deal with that and then they'll leave too. And I even have a 22 or 24% discount through my work but that is certainly not going to make me stay it's about customer service we wouldn't even be in business if we did not provide the right customer service. And I don't think Sprint should be any more either. NASCAR needs to find a new sponsor.
Sadly, yes. It is a major pain to send back your phone to the manufacturer. Especially since it's not just Sprint.
Sprint announced that it was leaving NASCAR several years ago. Contract is up at the end of the season.
what a shame how they're all handling this situation differently per customer
looks like verizon is running into the same issues with their G4. im reading some of their threads now over there. so it would seem its not just one carrier having this issue..and from the looks of some of the other threads its being handled pretty much the same as it is here..case by case
This question is Not Answered.
wmckinnon50 Jun 2, 2016 11:58 AM
So this morning while getting ready for work, my G4 decided to go in to a bootloop. I've been trying all day to figure out what is wrong.All I did was go to check a sports score when it started. I've pulled the battery numerous times, I've restarted it into bootloader, but when I try any of the commands, it just goes back in to the bootloop. Any ideas? Thank you.
JoeMikeKnight Jun 21, 2016 7:46 AM (in response to wmckinnon50)
I seen tons of reports about this. From what I understand, if you have a phone manufactured before September 2015 then the boot loop is likely caused by a physical motherboard issue. The only fix I seen is replacement. I heard you can either look up the serial on your battery or download the LG info app to determine your phone's manufactured date.
which this isnt the first time i have heard of the motherboard being mentioned..some even getting switched out by LG...but i believe LG is the only one that can actually switch out the MB.
So are the newer G4's still having this problem? I received a system update yesterday morning; after installing I got stuck in bootloop and now it won't turn on at all. Pulled battery, pulled SD, pulled sim, plugged into wall (it DID actually charge last night), plugged into computer, no amount of coaxing will get it to power on at all.
Thing is, this phone was manufactured in Dec 15 and was a replacement for an earlier one (I upgraded in Aug 15) that croaked earlier this year. When mine croaked, the local Sprint store made me pay $75 to get a refurb. Both my wife's and one daughter's G4 both got replaced for free last fall when they died.
So I'm going to pop into the local Sprint store after work and see what they say. I'm less than a year into my 2 year contract and this is not making me happy. Four lines, four G4s on my bill. Love the phone and everything about it except this reliability issue.

BTW, when my wife's died, she had to send it back to LG to get a replacement, but she had one in under a week. (they turned it around same day, so you know it wasn't a repair but a replacement) When I went through the Sprint store, it took two weeks.
from, what i can tell the affected ones were only within that certain date code. i have yet to see anyone post in here or on the site itself with the newer serial number date codes with any issues other than the random ones that pop up with pretty much any device out there.
did the serial number match up with the prior one your wife had? they might have done a board swap in the phone which wouldnt take to long to do for them..then again they might have also just did a full phone swap so they had the problem phones in hand for testing etc.

Today's recipe is another Spanish classic. La tortilla española or Spanish Potato Omelet is one of the most popular Spanish tapas, pinchos, first courses, midnight snacks, etc. Every Spanish family has their signature recipe, and there is great debate over whether or not onions truly belong. I love the sweetness of perfectly caramelized onions in my tortilla española, so this recipe does include them. Enjoy!
|Tortilla Española Recipe
Recipe type: Appetizer or Entree
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 45 mins
Total time: 55 mins
Serves: 4
The perfect recipe for Spanish Potato Omelet.
- 2 lbs (about 1 kg) of potatoes
- 8 large eggs
- Salt
- 1 large onion
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Peel, rinse and dry the potatoes.
- Cut them into thin slices, put them in a big bowl, sprinkle with some salt and mix well.
- Heat a good quality olive oil on medium heat in a large, non stick frying pan.
- Add the potatoes and cook them for 20 minutes at a low heat.
- Back in your big bowl, beat the eggs and reserve.
- Cut the onions into extremely thin slices and fry in another pan with olive oil. Fry for about 10 minutes, until they are golden and starting to caramelize. Then drain off the oil and add to the egg mixture.
- When the potatoes have cooked 20 minutes, remove them from the pan with a slotted spoon, trying to strain away all excess oil. Add them to the egg mixture and let everything sit for about 20 minutes.
- Then, in the same frying pan the potatoes were cooking in, remove any extra oil and introduce the mixture. Cook for 8-10 minutes per side, depending on how raw you like the omelet inside.
- Flipping takes practice, but use a plate to invert the tortilla, then slide it back into the pan. If it breaks, don't worry– it'll be more like scrambled eggs but just as delicious!
Hopefully you will enjoy this tortilla española recipe as much as we do! Let us know in the comments.

Sporting challenge: Joe Jordan
- From the section Football
From Greenock Morton to AC Milan, squaring up to Gennaro Gattuso and being linked with the Scotland manager's job, BBC Sport puts Joe Jordan, 60, under the sporting spotlight.
How much are you itching to get back into a coaching job?
I've still got the enthusiasm. It's been a long summer. All we've had is rain really, which doesn't even allow you to do the garden! Thankfully, I went to Wimbledon and that was great. I also got tickets for the swimming at the Olympics. We saw Rebecca Adlington and Michael Phelps.
What about the Scotland job?
For my name to be mentioned, yes, it's nice to be linked with the national job. What that job entails is not easy because of the situation the new man would find himself in. He's halfway through a campaign and he would need snookers. He would need results elsewhere to go for him. He would want to go into the job with a prospect of qualifying.
What do you get up to away from football?
That's a difficult one because when you are in football that takes up a great majority of your time. I don't really have any other hobbies of sorts. It's my family away from football. To switch off, I do a bit of reading. I'm into non-fiction and mostly go for crime.
When you look at results, who do you look out for?
All the clubs I played for: I started out at Greenock Morton and all the way to my last club, which was Bristol City. I like to see how they're doing and read the match reports. Even when I was abroad I'd like to see how my old clubs were doing. I had a few moves so it takes me a wee while.
What about what's happened at Portsmouth?
It's a mystery. I had a great chapter in my career there. It was a terrific place. The ground is an old-fashioned English stadium that generates a great atmosphere. The crowd really were so instrumental in keeping us in the Premier League. To see what's happened now is mystifying. I couldn't even tell you who owns the club there have been that many changes.
When you go back to Italy do you get recognised?
Occasionally. I had a lot more hair when I played there so I'm in disguise by having my hair as it is now and that's not for the want of it. My daughter lives in Milan so I go there when I have the chance. I enjoy the way of life in Italy. It is a fantastic country and I have some great memories and great friends there.
Are you back on speaking terms with Gennaro Gattuso?
We were never not on speaking terms. We had a few words and it is not something I would like to repeat. It's an emotional game. Gattuso did have a moment and, to be honest, I think he was the one at fault. That's water under the bridge as far as I am concerned. As a player, when I had my confrontations, I was never one to hold a grudge. What happened regarding our confrontation in the match between Spurs and AC Milan is finished.
Robin van Persie has moved from Arsenal to Man Utd. You made the switch from Leeds to Man Utd. How difficult is it moving between clubs with a big rivalry?
It does leave its mark. I had a fantastic time at Leeds and went there as an 18-year-old. It was a great club and I learned so much from playing under Don Revie, who was the manager. I couldn't have picked a better club at that stage of my career. As it went on I thought it was time to move on and I went to Old Trafford and had a great time and became a better player. I'm sure RVP is looking to win things and I think he can make the difference.
What was the highlight of your career?
I played for a lot of great clubs, but the highlight was playing for Scotland. I had an international career which allowed me to play under different managers and wearing the blue jersey is something I'll always treasure.
And the low point?
I've had a quite a few! I've had some tough times. But I learnt at Leeds that when the season finishes and you don't achieve what you want, the following year you go again and start again afresh. It makes you stronger.
Which sporting icons would you invite to dinner?
There are a few: when I was younger it would have been Muhammad Ali. I looked at him when he was in his prime and he was fantastic. There are people in my youth like Bjorn Borg and Jackie Stewart as well.
Do you see the point of Twitter?
Not at all. I think it is a dangerous thing. I don't see it benefitting anybody. It's certainly not for me.
Joe Jordan was speaking to BBC Sport's Mandeep Sanghera

Player Ratings: Liverpool 7 (Seven) Spartak Moscow 0
Coutinho (4′ pen, 15′, 50′), Firmino (18′), Mané (47′, 76′), Salah (86′)
A penalty in the fourth minute very much sets the tone for the game. Captain on the night, Philippe Coutinho steps up and slots coolly to notch the first of three goals for him.
His second follows not long after, as some delightful one touch football slices through Spartak's back line and Coutinho passes the ball into the net. Just three minutes later and the Reds have it in the net again, as Firmino volleys in the third.
Sadio Mané has the ball in the net just two minutes into the second half, as he volleys James Milner's into the top corner. Coutinho gets his third three minutes later, before Mané bags his second. The seventh goal comes courtesy of Mohamed Salah, who turns on the spot before firing into the top corner.
Seven goals. Clean sheet. Top of the group.
Up the knockout stage Reds.
Loris Karius- 7/10
Makes some smart saves in the first half but when he rushed out for that one I wanted him gone. Other than that was sound.
Joe Gomez- 7/10
Was quicker to everything and stronger than them, then spent most of the second half watching the Reds be boss.
Dejan Lovren- 7/10
Was as solid as he needed to be. Bang in to Degsy Lovren being a solid centre half all of a sudden.
Ragnar Klavan- 7/10
As with Degsy Lovren, was solid. Played a beauty of a diagonal. Did another one of those mad tricks. Showboat.
Alberto Moreno- 8/10
Was doing really well until his injury, hurry back my sweet prince.
Emre Can- 7/10
Picked up a stupid early yellow but managed his game fairly well after that. Kept the midfield ticking over and was solid alongside Wijnaldum.
Georginio Wijnaldum- 7/10
As he so often is, quiet and steady, nothing flashy. Just the business.
Sadio Mané- 9/10
Was just thinking he was a bit wasteful and he pops up with two goals. Loads of the usual brilliance, and his volley is sumptuous.
Philippe Coutinho- 9/10
Skipper on the night and bagged a hat trick. His second goal is delightful. After a couple of dull performances Coutinho has really stepped it up.
Roberto Firmino- 9/10
Gets his goal again. Adds so much to this Liverpool side and is now steadily adding goals and assists. Loads of lovely interplay with the rest of the front four, loads of pressing and all the usual stuff.
Mohamed Salah- 9/10
Wins the penalty in the opening five minutes. Was good throughout and just when you think he's going to go two games without a goal he sends four of their lads for the Echo with one turn and sticks it top bins. Cop for that.
James Milner- 9/10
Filled in at left back and showed again that he's quite clearly the best left back in Europe. Maybe the world. Three assists and all the lovely James Milner stuff that James Milner brings.
Daniel Sturridge- 7/10
Looked good against the tired Spartak Moscow legs, good ball for Mané's goal.
Trent Alexander-Arnold- 7/10
Ran on the pitch and looked gorgeous.

This NBC News piece reports that since 2007, YouTube's ContentID program has enabled copyright holders to monetize content posted to the service and get paid a billion dollars in the process. (Also included in the report is the staggering statistic that ContentID scans 400 years of content every day — we live in content-producing world of crazy proportions!)
So we see that with this kind of cash rolling in, it's no wonder that Viacom finally came to its senses earlier this year when it decided to discontinue its litigation against YouTube. The billion dollar notion is also interesting — that's the very amount Viacom sought when it filed suit in March 2007.

Outgoing Microsoft CEO regrets lapse in smartphones
NEW YORK CITY (AFP)Outgoing Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said his biggest regret is missing the boat on smartphones — but he said the software giant should not admit defeat just yet.
"I regret that there was a period in the early 2000s when we were so focused on what we had to do around Windows that we weren't able to redeploy talent to the new device called the phone," Ballmer said in a conference with analysts.
"That is thing I regret the most," he repeated, adding "It would have been better for Windows and our success in other foreign factors."
The smartphone and tablet computer market is currently dominated by Apple's iPhone and iPad and by devices powered by Google's Android operating system.
Microsoft has "almost no share" in mobile devices, Ballmer conceded, but said that leaves the company with significant "upside opportunities."
In telephones, the company is counting on the recently announced acquisition of Finnish mobile telephone company Nokia, with which it is already collaborating to make a new smartphone, the Lumia, to popularise its Windows mobile software.
The company's Surface tablet failed to win over buyers last year and Microsoft was forced to lower the price of the device, which translated into a loss of nearly a billion dollars in its latest quarterly figures.
A new generation of the tablet is to be unveiled Monday.
Beyond mobile devices, Ballmer said, Microsoft must seize crucial opportunities in cloud computing services, in online subscriptions to its word processing suite Office, and with its search engine Bing.
Ballmer took over as CEO of Microsoft in 2000 from co-founder Bill Gates, a classmate and friend from their days at Harvard University in the 1970s.
He announced in August that he would retire within 12 months.

Overhead Garage Door
Overhead Garage Door Service By M.G.A Garage Door Repair Houston TX
What is an Overhead Garage Door?
Well, basically, if you are to consider it literally, all garage doors are over the head, meaning that the size of the entire garage door in terms of height is longer than the height of an individual. Well, unless you're Yao Ming, the former star of the Houston Rockets, then you just might be level to level with your garage door.
There are different definitions when you say overhead garage doors. The traditional one is a one-piece panel garage door mounted on both sides with a hinge lifting opener or mechanism. The new version of an overhead are now several panels fitted next to each other, also called a sectional garage door. There is also the overhead garage door for big infrastructures, mainly buildings, shipping companies, manufacturers, and many more. The structure of an overhead garage door, no matter what the size is, requires proper and regular maintenance.
Repairs, replacements, and installations are the services you need to make sure your garage door is in good shape and well-secured.

When it comes to garage door services, it is all about precise judgement and efficient skills. A garage door is composed of many parts, and most of the internal parts are high tension. In other words, most of the parts are stretched tight, and they should stay that way, with smaller parts supporting each component. For example, the rollers support the weight of the garage door springs and counter-balance the weight of the garage door. Think about what will happen if the springs snapped; the entire garage door will come crashing down on something or worse, someone. If you want to do the repairs or replacements alone, then by all means, do it. However, stick to the minor ones. Leave the technical and complicated job to the professionals. Also, make sure to always wear safety gear to protect you from anything that might fall, snap, or break.
Importance of an Overhead Garage Door

HONOLULU -- Gov. Linda Lingle plans to cut $4.1 million from the state budget by freezing top officials' salaries for the next two years.
The salary freeze would affect 208 employees, including the governor, lieutenant governor, cabinet heads and deputies and justices of the Hawaii Supreme Court and all state court judges.
The administration employees are scheduled for salary hikes of 5 percent on July 1, 2009 and 3.5 percent on July 1, 2010. The justices and judges are scheduled for salary increases of 10 percent in 2009 and 3.5 percent in 2010.
Lingle will propose a bill in the 2009 legislative session to accomplish the salary freezes. The bill covers the positions recommended for increases in 2007 by the Commission on Salaries. The increases will go into effect automatically unless the Legislature takes action.
The bill also would suspend a 3.5-percent increase scheduled for all 76 state legislators for January 1, 2010. Additionally, Lingle is asking the Legislature to forgo the 36 percent ($12,808) salary increases lawmakers are scheduled to receive on Jan. 1, 2009. This would save an additional $486,704 in fiscal year 2009.
"…It is important that state leaders also make sacrifices and lead by example," Lingle said in a statement. "At a time when many Hawaii residents are losing their jobs or seeing their salaries frozen or reduced, it would be inappropriate for state leaders to accept pay raises."

I guess it may be time for my little "cancer vacation" to come to an end. I pray it is a permanent vacation, but we will see.
June 3rd is exactly 90 days since I received my radiation treatment. So I will have an MRI done that morning to determine what happens next. I am not sure how quickly I will get my results. I am guessing I won't hear anything till Friday the 4th. I'm also not sure who I will hear from as my Radiologist will read the scan, but it is up to my surgeon to determine if it looks like my liver is ready for another surgery. The goal with the radiation was just to reduce the two remaining tumors more so that the surgery would have a greater chance of success. I am guessing if it is a surgery, then it will happen around the middle of July. If the surgeon doesn't like what he see's, then it could be back on chemo again or another radiation treatment. It is all in God's hands.
I have been enjoying my time away from all my doctors and nurses. Although, I have had blood work done almost every week since my treatment. My last results showed that all the red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets are all doing very well. They actually didn't tell me on my voice mail how my liver numbers were, so I guess that is a good thing.
Karen and the boys are doing well. Jaxson turned 6 this past Saturday. Brenden and I are back on the soccer fields again. Brenden's now on an all boys team. Taking away the girls mad a difference right away. The boys didn't seem to mind pushing each other around and in the first two nights of practice we had 5 get knocked down, 4 cried and 1 minor skirmish broke out. Luckily there are 3 of us that are helping this year so we sort of have them under control.
I will update everyone when I get my results on Thurs/Fri/ or next Monday.
Thanks for all the thoughts, cards, gifts and prayers. The battle continues…

You might work from home once a week to plan your schedule in peace and quiet. You may conference call daily with colleagues across the globe. Or perhaps home is where you hunker down to knock out a project. No matter the reason, if you're working from home, a home office is essential.
It's a refuge, an inspiration hub – a space all your own. And the benefits of a home office are downright irresistible.
The Tax Deductions
Hate forking over your hard-earned dollars to Uncle Sam every year? I feel you. With a home office, you can fork over a little less. There are a variety of home office deductions. Ask your accountant for the specifics. But ultimately, you can deduct any space you use regularly and exclusively for your business.
This also means, if you have a home office, you can write off a percentage of your electricity, phone, and Internet. You can write off office expenses, such as your printer, paper, and ink cartridges. Every little bit adds up and can result in a surprisingly large total.
The 20-Step Commute
Okay. Your office might not be exactly 20 steps from your bedroom. But you get the idea. When you're working from home – your commute is only as far as you have to walk. And even here in Tucson, where the traffic is relatively light, not commuting saves a lot of time and mental energy!
The Carbon Footprint Reduction
Not commuting as often (or at all) also reduces your carbon footprint. You're not using as much gas. And if you only have a home office, you aren't using extra resources – like electricity – to maintain two separate spaces.
The Improved Work/Life Balance
Does work sometimes seem to take over your life? I can completely relate. Finding time to spend with loved ones can be difficult when you're constantly running to the office. By working from home, you can spend all those extra hours cooking dinner with your partner, playing Chutes and Ladders with your grandkids, and going for a walk.
The Slipper/Flip-Flop Wardrobe
Slippers and flip-flops might not be your thing specifically. But you get the idea. When you work from home, the dress code is yours to set. If and/or when you have a video conference call, just throw on a nice shirt. You only need to be presentable from the waist up!
Let's talk about how to create an office that's function and beautiful.

The Secret Affair is already running, and now The Fantasy Collective opens its doors too – in other words: Its time to do some shopping, hehe. The leather armor and the matching fur sable are both from :V.e. and you will find them at The Secret Affair. After having grabbed those its time to get into the taxi and go to The Fantasy Collective because that is where you will find the so lovely metal corset form LUAS that comes with both nipple pasties and bracers. Of cause, if that is too naked for you, you can add a layer/system shirt under it, I tried and it looks great still.

Charlie Andrews General Manager, The Reef At Marathon Defender Resorts
Florida has around 350 timeshare resorts, the largest number in the U.S. and over 112 million annual tourists. But not everyone goes to see Mickey Mouse. Four million Florida visitors drive all the way down U.S. 1 each year to the Florida Keys, with its 30 timeshare resorts. Because there are limited accommodations, the Keys remain a "hot spot" with most resorts enjoying extremely high occupancies year round.
Charlie Andrews is one of those fortunate resort managers. As GM of The Reef at Marathon, managed by Defender Resorts, his 22-unit waterfront property and 22 boat slips are filled up almost every night. During Lobster seasons in June and July, just about everyone arrives with a boat and is out on the water by 9 a.m., he says. In the fall and spring more people come just to relax and hang out by the pool.
The octagon-shaped two-bedroom waterfront villas feature private balconies facing the Gulf of Mexico, plus a boat ramp and trailer parking. The entire property is beautifully manicured with lush foliage lining the walkways, tended to by Lorenzo Rodriquez who has been on property for 19 years and truly knows every plant by name.
Five full-time staff members and weekend cleaners assist Charlie at his resort.
When he first joined Defender Resorts, eleven years ago, Charlie worked in timeshare resales at the Turtle Reef Club in Jensen Beach, Florida, and then in business development. Later, he was named General Manager of the 51-unit resort. He became known internally as the fellow who had the flexibility to perform in any role and was selected to manage the Marathon resort in early June 2016.
"Prior to joining Defender Resorts, I had never managed a timeshare resort but knew that good customer service skills can be transferable to any industry and decided to give it a try. It was the right decision," he says. "Of course, there are other skills to learn, but it has been great fun. Fortunately, as a previous boat owner, I had some knowledge of boater's needs, which are important here. The Keys lifestyle gives new meaning to the phrase 'laid back' with things very casual down here. Flip flops and tee shirts are the normal attire."
As an older, "Legacy" resort, many families own multiple weeks, some with several generations of ownership by the same family. To help smoothly continue family ownership, Defender Resorts has inaugurated a highly successful program called "Add Your Children to the Deed." The resort provides the name of an attorney who can add a relative to the deed for a small fee.
Long before his transition into the timeshare industry, Charlie was a medic in Vietnam. He wanted to continue in the medical field and became the first non-nurse to work in hospital emergency rooms in the Washington D.C. area, designing a role for people who were not trained as a nurse. Later, he spent 30 years with a substance abuse treatment center on Maryland's Eastern Shore, ultimately becoming its CEO.
Today, Charlie loves his position as GM. "We are small enough that you can easily wrap your arms around things," he shares. "It's truly a family atmosphere here and great to see returning owners and their families each year. We try to have activities to bring everyone together and, of course, there are endless resort and area family activities like onsite pool, tennis, canoes kayaks and bikes plus nearby swimming with dolphins, the turtle hospital and fun year-round Key West events that generate a real party atmosphere."
Rob Dollars Culture and Service Training Manager Breckenridge Grand Vacations
Rob Dollars is the Culture and Service Training Manager for Breckenridge Grand Vacations (BGV), responsible for championing the company's cultural fundamentals – including their Passion Statement ("Our Family Commitment: Always Grand Vacations") and Hospitality Standards – at all levels of training.
During his first two years with BGV, Rob completely revamped the company's new hire orientation and leadership training programs for new and existing management personnel. He also created a comprehensive in-house training curriculum known as "BGV University" and is now working to elevate departmental training programs company-wide.
Rob expanded the Breckenridge Grand Vacations Orientation (BGVO) program to two full days with the intention of making training fun. With over 550 employees and independent contractors and more joining the team every month, this program represents an important ingredient to the success of the company's efforts to provide excellence in customer service. Cathy Sorensen recently joined BGV from the Ritz-Carlton in Bachelor Gulch and is now assisting Rob in her role as the BGV Culture and Service Trainer.
As BGV staffed-up in anticipation of the Grand Opening of their newest slopeside resort, the Grand Colorado on Peak 8, Rob and his presentation team hosted BGVO for 42 out of 52 weeks in 2016. Starting with an introduction to the company from a member of the BGV Executive Team and finishing with a 4-hour tour of BGV's properties and offices, BGVO is an entertaining program, for the attendees and the presenters.
Breckenridge is located in Summit County, Colorado, about 90 miles west of Denver. Although a tourist mecca, Summit County has a relatively small population combined with a high cost of living. BGV works very hard to remain the "Employer of Choice" in Summit County. They do that by offering market-leading wages and benefits, providing personnel with tools to facilitate career development, ensuring a supportive environment, and fostering a culture of employee empowerment.
Rob has been selected by the leading timeshare association, ARDA, as a finalist in their annual awards competition for his work as a Training & Development Manager.
In his "former life," Rob was a board certified workers' compensation defense lawyer, representing employers and insurance carriers. He earned his B.A. in Plan II, the multi-disciplinary Liberal Arts honors program at the University of Texas. He stayed in Austin to earn his Juris Doctorate at the University of Texas School of Law.
In 2007, after 21 years of legal practice, Rob and his wife Tracy decided they would move to the mountains. So he left his practice, and Tracy left her HR work at Dell. The new adventure was on.
Rob reminisces, "We bought a small child care and babysitting referral business serving several Colorado resort areas. That enterprise was an excellent introduction to the world of vacation hospitality. But as small-business owners, we were squeezed by health care costs, so I started working at a Whole Foods Market in Frisco, Colorado. The wages were low, but the benefits were good. I spent a year working as a front-line team member there, re-learning how to really work hard. Then I started assisting with HR work at the store, including onboarding. All of those experiences helped prepare me for what I do now. Today, we live in a beautiful place and get to share it with our owners and guests. Yes, we sell timeshare and operate resorts, but at BGV our real job is putting smiles on faces and we truly enjoy giving away free samples!"
Just in case you're wondering, "Rob Dollars" is his real name. Rob says he got off easy though, he could have been a Junior. His father's name was Bill Dollars.
Elaine Plasse Learning & Development Manager Grand Pacific Resort Management
In her role as Learning & Development manager in the People & Culture division of Grand Pacific Resort Management, Elaine Plasse must smoothly bridge a wide range of ethnic and cultural backgrounds while ensuring that her firm's corporate culture, core purpose and values are infiltrated down to all levels of their 1,200 employees throughout 20 resorts in multiple states.
Elaine works closely with the Director of People & Culture to oversee, grow and improve learning and development by delivering successful on-boarding programs as well as service and leadership development training. Her primary purpose is to enrich lives by creating experiences with sharing.
"My goal is to deliver learning content that our associates look forward to experiencing and feel enriched by," Elaine says. "I am the "keeper of the culture."
Part coach, part trainer and part HR professional Elaine, has been in her current position since November 2015 with a background of more than 20 years as a regional training director for Nordstrom, where she won multiple professional awards. She was a finalist as a Training & Development Manager in ARDA's awards competition but winners had not been announced by press time.
Elaine says, "In training I always try to keep it simple, using considerable interaction, participation in role playing, games and activities, with the intention of engaging participants with multiple learning styles. Some people thrive on visuals, others by hearing messages. I try to incorporate all components in every training session."
"Three decades ago," she reflects, "I earned my AA from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. Today I'm taking advantage of the generous tuition reimbursement program offered through Grand Pacific Resorts by pursuing my BA in Communications to enhance my professional development."
I always had the intention of going back to school but career and family happened. I haven't been in school for over 30 years so not only is this an exciting opportunity, it is also very challenging while working full time.'
This California native has been married for 27 years with a grown son and daughter and a black Labrador retriever named Lucy. When she transitioned from retail to hospitality, she was a bit nervous of learning a new industry.
"My first job was that of a "drug runner" (my parents had a pharmacy and I delivered prescriptions to customers.) I learned valuable lessons while working with my parents that resonate with me in my current role with Grand Pacific Resorts. As second generation Japanese Americans, my parents were relocated from their home during World War II and placed in internment camps in Poston, Arizona. They were never bitter about this experience and always remained hopeful about their future, working hard to prove their loyalty as American citizens."
She continues, "My parents taught me to work hard and treat everyone fairly and always with respect. Their pharmacy was located near the La Costa Resort & Spa with many celebrity customers. I learned from my parents that it doesn't matter if you are a movie star or a grounds keeper everyone deserves to be treated respectfully with a smile. At Grand Pacific Resorts we have this same attitude. As part of an organization that lives up to their core purpose of 'enriching lives by creating experiences worth sharing,' my life has been enriched both professionally and personally.
This talented training guru is helping to participate in setting the strategic direction of the training and performance function for her company over the next several years.

UFO Mondays: Sweater Surgery
My doctorate isn't going to be in medicine or knitting, but I spent a good portion of yesterday engaged in sweater surgery.
If you've been around this blog for a long time, you might remember the Dale of Norway sweater I'm making for Sweetie. Last I mentioned this project, I had finished it enough for him to wear when the King and Queen of Norway visited Duluth. It was good enough for him to throw on for the occasion, but it needed some additional work and went into hibernation. Now that we're headed back to Minnesota for the holidays, I've pulled it out to assess what needs to be done.
I made him try it on for me last time he was here, and this is my to-do list:
- Add five inches of length to the body so it hits him at the hips instead of riding at the top of his jeans
- Add three inches of length to the sleeves: do so at the biceps rather than the wrist so it's not too narrow
- Finish off the insides of the zipper with a facing to hide the zipper tape
- Stitch down the sleeve facings
- Attach the official Dale of Norway patch to the right sleeve at the wrist
The need for additional length on this sweater is so frustrating. I should have thought of this before I even began knitting, but my past self apparently didn't notice that her husband was 6'4″. Since that's both the most annoying and the most time consuming part of finishing up this sweater, that's where I started yesterday.
I tried things out with a sleeve first since they need less length and have way fewer stitches. I snipped a stitch at the underarm just below the colorwork and unraveled a row of stitching, putting the live stitches onto two circular needles as I went along.
Once I was done, the sleeve was completely free from the body of the sweater. I knit on the sleeve side of things for my 3″ and then joined the two pieces back together with kitchener stitch.
In case you're curious, this is how it looks now that it's fixed but has not been blocked.It's pretty clear where I added the additional length (although I think it would be less so when worn) because my gauge is slightly bigger. I noticed the gauge difference when knitting, but I didn't think it was substantial enough to warrant a change in needle size. I'm confident that with another full wet blocking, some spoon smacking, and perhaps a good steam, this alteration will barely be noticeable.
I'm not going to do a full tutorial on this process, but there are plenty of resources out there if you're in a similar situation. If you're simply lengthening or shortening a sweater and don't have any hems that you're trying to preserve, check out Eunny Jang's video for Knitting Daily. If you're looking to try something like what I did here, check out blog posts here and here for instructions and images.
Now that I have the confidence of a successful first sleeve behind me, I'm ready to tackle the second sleeve and the massive body. Hopefully I'll be able to finish up this long-time UFO and get some great photos of it in Minnesota!

There is a lot going on in New York right now, and I'm not talking about the Wall Street protests. In August of this year, the New York City government announced a mandate in which schools are required to teach a semester of comprehensive ("abstinence-plus") sexual health education in 6th or 7th grade and again in 9th or 10th grade.
Recently, the mandate has been criticized by more conservative elected officials and activists, despite the fact that public opinion studies have found that 82 percent of adults in the U.S. support abstinence-plus programs. Former Democratic Assemblyman from the Bronx, Michael Benjamin (who currently leads an anti-mandate group called the Parents Choice Coalition) argued that the curriculum involves "explicit, non-age appropriate" information.
But what is non-age appropriate about teaching teenagers how to properly use a condom? Or about targeting disadvantaged kids ages 15 to 19, who are disproportionately affected by teen pregnancy and STIs like chlamydia? Last week I heard a 20-year-old peer educator tell a group of doctors: "Wake up, people. Teens are having sex, and they may be having sex at even younger ages than you think. It's better to communicate with them than to leave them knowing nothing about their health."
Critics exaggerate the sexual health education program's emphasis on the non-abstinence pieces of the mandate. The executive director of the anti-abortion Chiaroscuro Foundation said: "You don't have to be some religious fanatic to not want your ninth-grader comparison price-shopping for condoms at the local store." Not only does this statement hyperbolize the teaching methods of the comprehensive curriculum, it also gives rise to concern. If your teenager is having sex, why wouldn't you prefer that he or she does so in the safest way possible? If this means comparing the prices of condoms, so be it. (P.S. Youth can get condoms for free throughout New York City, so "shopping at the local store" is unnecessary).
The bottom line, as NARAL President Andrea Miller indicated, is that New York City teens are not learning what they need to about sex and they are desperate for information. Sexual health information is just as important to learning and to health care as any other subject. And parents are not doing a good enough job teaching safe sexual practices on their own: only 60% of parents are comfortable talking about condoms and birth control with their kids, even if they'd like to have open discussions about sex.
In fact, the comprehensive sexual health education mandate should set the tone for communicating about sex in a more open, inclusive manner both at school and at home. We at Teen SENSE believe that such communication is essential to enhancing a young person's well-being and to building tolerance for sexual differences.
The debate around the NYC mandate emphasizes the need for laws and official policies regarding sex education (the official mandate can be found in the New York Codes, Rules, and Regulations at 8 NYCRR 135.1, et seq.; in particular, Sections135.3(b)(2) and 135.3(c)(2)). Without such laws on the books, entire generations can be left uneducated about sexuality and sexual healthcare. In fact, New York City had no official sex education curriculum in schools for the past 20 years. Laws and enacting regulations allow stakeholders to have a clear shared framework for enforcement.
The Center for HIV Law and Policy thus welcomes such a change in our local law. We can't wait for the positive changes that the comprehensive curriculum will bring to young people's lives, to their communities, and to our great City.

It is very intense and sweet when we learn that International Women's Day has incepted to be celebrated on 8th March every year. Now a days women are considered to be the main pillars of the world . In many developed foreign countries. International Women's Day is creating dignity and respect for women and this day also helps people to realise the worth of women in the society, in the families as mother, daughter, sister and other relations.
The focus of celebrating International Women's Day is mainly for the empowerment of the women in the society. A woman plays various role in the society at various times like a role of a mother , a wife , a daughter ,etc and she also multi tasks like cooking, studying, taking care of a baby, etc and also progressing hand in hand with scientific researches, practising medicine or completing Ph.D. Women are coming up in each and every field like sports, education, business, etc. Women have also gained stability and importance in this twenty-first century rather than the previous centuries. In every field of work women are working on par with men. Though they are not treated equal with men at some places but still they are successful in their developments. For example, there are many women scientists who have proved themselves like Kalpana Chawla, Sunitha Williams and there are also women writers.
Earlier sometime, women were considered to be the weaker sex but now they themselves have proved to be the stronger sex with most of them stamping and crushing male chauvinism and domestic violence Today, women are well educated and have proved themselves to be all rounders in tackling their families and office .
A woman named Nalini aged 40 said that she felt proud that a day like women's day is celebrated in the society, in schools, in colleges.
In most of the schools and colleges, women's day is with dance and music programmes, thus encouraging the power of women who have achieved in the society .
International women's day celebration many colleges have also conducted symposiums on Feminism for the empowerment of women. Such kinds of literary activities create awareness among people. Many students in schools and other educational settings participate in special lessons, debates or presentations about the importance of women in society, their influence, and issues that affect them. Annually on 8 March, thousands of events are held throughout the world to inspire women and celebrate their achievements. A global network of rich and diverse local activity connects women from all around the world ranging from political rallies, business conferences, government activities and networking events through to local women's craft markets, theatric performances, fashion parades and more.
Thus, International Women's Day is a time to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities.

This Kitesurfer Crashed Right Into a Humpback Whale and Lived to Post the Video
The date September 20, 1977, will forever live in infamy as the premiere night of a pivotal episode of Happy Days -- "Hollywood, Part 3" -- also known as "the one where the Fonz jumped the shark." The rest is history. "Jumping the shark" became a not-so-polite euphemism for the moment where a television show has exhausted its plausibility and Henry Winkler went on to star in Arrested Development as a (hysterical) sexually deviant lawyer. Life moved on.
So what happens now that an actual person has jumped an actual sea creature that was actually bigger than the Fonz's shark?
I don't know the answer to that. What I do know from this video is that on June 18, 2017, Andrei Grigoriev, 36, seemed to be minding his own business and enjoying a beautiful day on the waves off the coast of Crissy Field Beach, California. The surf was in his face, the wind was at his back, and he and the big kitesurfing sail in front of him were chasing the sunlight. Then all of a sudden comes a giant goddamn humpback whale.
"The whale appeared to hit me twice," Grigoriev wrote in a Facebook post. "First drifted underneath, scaring the hell out of me, then made a turn and in 15 seconds came back on high speed, splashing fountains and rolling. These guys r playing it hard) [sic]"
He claims to not have seen it and to have hit it completely by accident. The video shows him visibly shook. It's a fun artifact and another addition to man's long, storied relationship with the sea.

These carrot cookies were both delicious and looked great! I think the cookies had a good texture, and good moisture. I also think that the directions were very easy to follow. I made a few changes to the recipe that I thought added to the taste, however this is based on personal taste preference. I added a 1/2 tea of nutmeg and 1 tsp of cinnamon. I liked how these added to the flavors that were already present.
Jul 20, 2014
These were very good, but I did change them up a bit. I added some cinnamon, raisins and chopped walnuts, then made a simple cream cheese frosting with reduced fat cream cheese to spread on top. They tasted just like carrot cake! Without my changes I don't think they'd be sweet enough for my tastes.
Apr 15, 2014
Good simple recipe, the cookie is just okay. I would add chocolate chips next time.
Dec 6, 2013
Great quick cookie! Absolutely adorable....
Nov 5, 2013
They are super soft and good tasting with amazing textures.

I LOVE carrot cookies made from raw carrots. Thank you for a recipe that gives me a taste of my childhood half-a-century later.
Dec 9, 2012
I have made these cookies many times. Very good.
Dec 22, 2011
These are a great little cake like cookie, not real sweet. BUT you should cook the carrots first, smash them up and then..make a butter cream frosting with zest of an orange and juice of the orange! Perfect tea cookie!!!!
Nov 9, 2011
This receipe piqued our interest and after reading previous reviews, my husband and I decided to saute the carrots in 1/2 tbsp butter before adding them to recipe; came out very good - sauteeing brought out the natural sweetness in carrots.
Oct 28, 2011
The most tasteless cookie I have ever tasted. Think there is to much baking powder in it. Will not make again.
