How to use the EVC Throttle Controller
With four driving modes and twenty adjustable settings the EVC Throttle Controller is sure to have the perfect throttle response for any driving style or situation.
Economy mode reduces the throttle response passed factory levels, the higher you set the EVC Throttle Controller the more dampened your throttle response becomes. Economy mode is perfectly suited to off-road and low traction driving situations; by dampening your throttle response and having a more controlled application of power to your wheels you can significantly improve your vehicles traction capabilities. Economy mode is also great for low speed towing situations where you don't want to be constantly jerking on the throttle and overcorrecting your steering..
Ultimate performance mode increases your throttle response, the higher you set the EVC Throttle Controller the more aggressive your throttle response becomes. Ultimate Mode has 9 settings and can be grouped into three stages. Ultimate mode 1-3: Everyday driving with smooth acceleration. Ultimate mode 4-6: Sportier, more responsive acceleration, great for use around town where short bursts of acceleration are needed. Ultimate mode 7-9: Strap yourself in and activate launch control, instant throttle response, beast mode, don't say we didn't warn you.
Automatic control mode automatically selects your vehicles throttle response based on your current driving style. If you are in traffic and accelerating gently the EVC Throttle Controller will automatically choose a reduced level of throttle response such as Economy Mode 2. However if you accelerate hard to overtake or power up a hill, the EVC Throttle Controller will choose a far more aggressive throttle response for you such as Ultimate Mode 7. The EVC Throttle Controller adapts to how you're currently driving and delivers the best throttle response to match. Automatic Control mode is what makes the EVC Throttle Controller one of the most intelligent throttle controllers on the market.
What Our Customers Are Saying
"I have a 300c SRT8 6.1L Chrysler 2010. I have had the car for 2 months and the very poor throttle response was terrible. Almost not worth having a V8. At 60km I would put my foot down and the flat spot was terrible and then It stayed in top gear in laboured until It came on to cam. I spoke to numerous very highly recommended performance shops in Brisbane. They all told me I need new spark plug's 16 of them and a tune. Over $1000 worth. I decided to give I drive ago even though I didn't see much about them on performance cars. I ordered it and it was in my mailbox the very next day. I fixed it within under five minutes. My first test drive within 100 m I knew the car was much better. I had it on setting five. And I drove further my car was now super responsive and I fell in love with it. I tried the top level number nine and could hardly keep the Tires from smoking . This is by far the most amazing performance tool I've ever used in my car especially bang for buck. Commodores and Ford lovers I would recommend them 100%. My car is an absolute Demon. Thank you so very much for the EVC Throttle Controller"
- Earl Pretty - Brisbane, Australia
"Just purchased my EVC Throttle Controller today, wow the service was second to none! Supplied and fitted in the blink of an eye! The difference it's made to my Diesel Territory is fantastic! It's responsiveness is incredible the difference in drive ability makes the purchase one of the best decisions I've made, I highly recommend the EVC Throttle Controller unit. The only regret I have is I didn't buy one earlier!"
- Rob Dielemans - Melbourne, Australia.
"Ordered the EVC Throttle Controller for my 2010 NT common rail 3.2 diesel Pajero auto on Tuesday, arrived Wednesday. Fitted same day and wow what a difference. I have been happy with the Pajero however the best way to describe the throttle response would be like it had an elastic band holding it back. Fitted the EVC Throttle Controller in 5 minutes and took it for a spin on the ultimate 9 setting. Wow What a difference, with less throttle input than normal the Pajero now accelerates almost instantly and is quicker both off the line and when rolling accelerating. I have since settled on the auto mode for day to day driving as it is a great mix of increased throttle response and acceleration, without being to jerky or over the top. Best bang for my buck mod I have fitted for a long time. I had often read the pros and cons on forums about throttle controllers. All I can say now I've actually got one is anyway who says just put your foot down harder clearly has no idea!"
- Wandre Melsho - Melbourne, Victoria
"Installed one on my Gen-8 Hilux just before heading to Fraser Island for a week and could not believe how easy it was to control the sensitivity of my acceleration, when I needed to crawl along on the soft sand and accelerate hard to get around the waves it was just so easy!! Just push a button! I can't wait to get out and test this on some hard tracks in the bush!!! The customer service that I received was also really great! I have already recommended Idrive to my friends and wouldn't hesitate to recommend other people to try it!"
- Shane Boyle - Brisbane, Queensland
"Can't live without my EVC Throttle Controller! Will never ever own a 4x4 without one ever again. Best product EVER! Excellent customer service and ongoing support if you have any questions on running your EVC Throttle Controller. Thumbs up and 5 stars all the way!"
- Jane Cartwright - Alexandra Hills, Queensland

In this section you can see my introductory notes on Fractional Calculus. You can also download them in pdf format at the downloads section.
Our understanding of Nature relies on calculus, which in turn relies on the intuitive concept of the derivative. It's descriptive power comes from the fact that it analyses the behavior at scales small enough that its properties change linearly, so avoiding complexities that arise at larger ones. Fractional Calculus generalizes this concept from integer to non-integer order. Despite it seems not to have significant applications in fundamental physics, research on this core concept could be valuable in understanding Nature. These notes comprise an introduction to the field.

Girls earn 3 wins at Flaming Gorge Classic
December 20, 2017
The Lady Wolves had the home-court advantage this weekend during the Flaming Gorge Classic and they made the best of it.
The Green River Lady Wolves played four games. The first was against Thunder Basin, and it was tough on the Lady Wolves when Thunder Basin came up with the win 78-46.
"The struggle was ball security. We had a lot of turnovers," head coach Rick Carroll said. "Also, we did not finish at the rim and take advantage of easy shots and that really put us in a hole."
Even though the team struggled in the first half, in the second half the Lady Wolves settled down and were competi...

How to care for your wreath
Thank you for choosing Herbein's Garden Center for your holiday wreath. Every wreath created by Herbein's Garden Center is different; different decorations, different greenery, different ribbon, etc. Therefore, each wreath will have a different display life some lasting longer than others. Herbein's treats each and every wreath and seasonal live product with a sealer to help prevent the wreath from drying out and becoming brittle. However, if you take extra steps to care for your wreath, you can help it last as long as possible. Below are a few tips to ensure your wreath will last:
Weather Exposure:
For the most part, the materials used in your wreath are considered durable to moderate outdoor exposure unless otherwise noted. I suggest hanging your wreath on a door that has an overhang to protect it. Also, if you know of an approaching rain storm where there will be sheets of horizontal rain and a lot of wind, I would bring your wreath indoors until the storm passes. For light showers, it will be fine. Unfortunately, over time, as with anything left outside in the sun, your wreath will fade. There will also be some decorations that fade faster than others. This too is normal. If you purchase and use a lifelike wreath you should get a few seasons out of your wreath before this happens.
Please note, Christmas or holiday wreaths containing ornaments should be handled with extra care. These wreaths last longer with a full covered porch and should not be in direct sunlight. If your door does not have a full covered porch and/or is in direct sun light, just note your lifelike wreath may last only 1 or 2 seasons or it could last for much longer, depending on the ornaments used and how long you display your wreath. Most customers are okay with this as they typically want a change after a few years. It really depends how much of a beating your wreath takes throughout the season.
Dusting your Wreath:
Unfortunately your wreath will collect dust and/or pollen. Use a hair dryer on the lowest and coolest setting and blow the dust or pollen off. You can also use a soft, clean bristled paintbrush to gently sweep off dust and debris. Fluff your bow and you're good to go. It is best to dust off your wreath before storing it.
Storing your Wreath:
Your wreath SHOULD BE STORED IN A CLIMATE CONTROLLED ROOM! Extreme heat or cold will cause decorations' paint to crack or peel, styrofoam decorations to melt, and will cause expanding and contracting between grapevine branches which will cause the decoration insertions to become loose. You will be a lot happier if you store your wreath in a closet and not the attic or garage. I personally store my wreaths in a spare closet on the top shelf. Some of you have taller ceilings and therefore a lot of extra space high up in your closets; you can use this space to store your wreaths. You can use clear (so you can see through it) yard trash bags and drape this over your wreaths and cut a hole in the bag so that the wreaths hanger can still be used for hanging and then knot the end of the bag to prevent dust from settling on it.

How to Install Android on Your Netbook or Laptop
Updated on November 15th, 2016 by Riley J. Dennis.
Now you can run Android on your netbook or laptop. Whether you want to play with Google's mobile operating system or give new life to an otherwise discarded device, Android-x86 gives everyone a way to install Android on Intel-based computers.
It's fast. Even better: the latest version of Android-x86 comes with access to the Google Play Store. This means you can try out Android apps before you decide to buy an Android device.
Heck, your netbook could end up becoming your Android device.
I showed you how to install Chrome OS on unsupported computers Use Chrome OS On Unsupported Computers With Chromium OS Lime Like this idea of Chrome OS, but don't want to fork out money for a ChromeBook? Good news! Chromium Lime brings the Chrome OS experience to a huge number of laptops and netbooks, thanks to... Read More , but some of you complained that it's little more than a browser. Of course, that's all Chrome OS is supposed to be, but I understand the disappointment. Android, I think, is a little more exciting. With access to hundreds of thousands of apps, it's versatile, and its integration with the Google ecosystem is much deeper than that of Chrome OS.
It's not terribly complicated to install, especially if you've installed some form of Linux in the past. Let's walk through the process, then briefly explore Android on the netbook.
Step One: Download Androidx86
To get started, head to the Androidx86 project page. Here you can download a bunch of different version of Android. For the traditional phone or tablet experience, go for the whatever the most recent official release is. As of November 2016, that's Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
But there's also a version of Remix OS available How to Install Android on Your PC With Remix OS 3.0 Remix OS 3.0 lets users install Android on almost any hardware. Like Linux, Remix runs great on slow or older hardware, so if you have an old PC, bring it back to life with Remix... Read More , which is a forked version of Android made specifically for computers. You might have a more fluid experience with that.
Just make sure to find out if your computer is 32 bit or 64 bit What's the Difference Between 32-Bit and 64-Bit Windows? What's the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit Windows? Here's a simple explanation and how to check which version you have. Read More before you download one of them.
Step Two: Copy To A Flash Drive
Now that you found the ISO file you need, it's time to write it to a USB drive so you can boot from it. There are two main programs for doing this: UNetBootIn How To Install Linux With Ease Using UNetbootin We've already talked about Linux and why you should try it, but probably the hardest part of getting used to Linux is getting it in the first place. For Windows users, the simplest way is... Read More , which is cross platform, and Linux Live Linux Live USB Creator: Easily Boot Linux From Your Flash Drive Read More , which is only for Windows but very straightforward.
Use whichever you prefer; just copy the contents of the ISO to a flash drive. It doesn't need to be huge: 1 GB should do it.
Step Three: Install
Now that you've got your USB drive, it's time to boot from it. You'll see this boot screen:
If you just want to try out Android, go ahead and select the LiveCD mode. You won't be able to save any customizing you do, of course, but it's a good way to see how well Android works on your system.
If you'd rather get straight to installing Android, go ahead and pick the "Install" option. There are not a lot of options for dual-booting built into the installer, so be warned: getting that working might take some skills on your part. See the Androidx86 installation instructions for more information [broken link removed]. If you don't care about losing your current OS, though, installation is straightforward.
Optional: Install to SD Card
There's another way, of course: you can install Android to an SD card. This won't affect whatever operating system you typically use on your netbook but still lets you keep your apps and settings in place.
You'll need a flash drive and an SD card to do this: the flash drive to install Android from and the SD card to install Android onto.
The process is simple: run the installer, but select your SD card to install to instead of your hard drive. This won't affect your netbook's primary drive, giving you a clean dual-boot environment.

So how does it work? Quite well. You can set up your home screen to look however you like, just like on a phone or tablet. I tested out an older version of Android (4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich) for improved stability, and this is what it looked like:
You can also browse every app installed on your computer:
Many Google staples are included, along with a number of other utilities and games. With access to the Google Play Store, feel free to download and try out any app you want, though they might not all work perfectly. With some help from Google Voice I even got SMS messaging up and running!
Did It Work for You?
Why try this? First of all: because it's fun. Sure, it's not the same as buying a new Android tablet, but breathing new life into an otherwise idle netbook is cool.
Did you get Android working on your netbook or laptop? Let us know down in the comments! And if you did, tell us what Android apps you got working on it.

1. Great English teachers are passionate. They're passionate about many things - books, literature, theatre, their classes, film, wine. They're people to be reckoned with, people with opinions, people you can't ignore. They're people who students want to listen to and ask questions of. Whatever their age, these teachers are still relevant to their students' lives.
2. Great English teachers are text maniacs. They're always reading something. They'd never say they don't have time to read anything any more because of the weight of marking. They couldn't live if they didn't read.
3. Great English teachers work too hard. They write out advice-sheets for their classes, sample essays, give detailed feedback, write plays, direct, take coachloads of kids to the theatre. If they look like they're not working hard, you're being conned.
4. Great English teachers don't pretend to know all the answers. They relish being asked questions they can't answer because it gives them something to find out. They exemplify real learning - open-ended, messy, unpredictable, ongoing learning.
5. Great English teachers love individualism. They relish the eccentrics in a class - the naughty ones as well as the paragons. The naughty ones will often only behave for these teachers. These teachers have something individual to say to each student. They call them out and talk about their work one-to-one. They say when they're disappointed about something a student has done, but mostly they celebrate success - not in some phoney saccharine way, but through sheer enthusiasm for a job well done.
6. Great English teachers balance spontaneity with structure. Their lessons can feel hugely creative and unpredictable. Yet they fit into an overall developmental pattern. A student will know where she's heading, what she needs to work on to improve, where the half-terms' lessons are heading. And yet it will all feel so fluid, so unforced, so natural. This is the great English teacher's gift.
7. Great English teachers are risk-takers. They have their own favourite texts but they frequently try out new finds. They're not afraid to use a grammar or punctuation exercise if that's what's going to clarify the thinking of the class. But chiefly they use texts to excite and challenge young minds, even when they know that the texts may be a little high level. It's a sign of their self-confidence, of their high expectations. They mix idealism and pragmatism.
8. Great English teachers love the process of teaching: they like its creative opportunities. They like listening to students talking, like watching their drama, reading their stories. They may complain that they don't, that they'd had enough, but, deep down, it's what drives them - a love of the intangible processes of the classroom.
9. Great English teachers are undervalued. They should be showing teachers in all subjects how to teach - how to build students' confidence, how to structure lessons, how to assess skills and knowledge humanely and precisely. They should be our first choice of mentors, watching fledgling teachers and helping to shape their skills. Great English teachers are great teachers per se and schools should recognise this more.
10. Great English teachers have a powerful emotional impact. You walk out of their lessons feeling you can do things - can read better, write better, think better, learn better. The world seems a bigger challenge but we suddenly feel up to it. Great English teachers nourish our heroism.
11. Great English teachers get nervous on the day of exam results. They don't need to, but they do. It's a sign of their concern that their students should do well in exams, as well as enjoy their subject. It's a sign also of their accountability: great English teachers don't automatically blame their students if a result is disappointing: they live the exams along with their students.
12. Great English teachers are more important than they realise. They teach the most important skills within the most important subject. They remind us of the power of language and the delights of literature. They help students to mediate a bewilderingly complex world, standing for certain values - for the confidence to ask questions, for the security of knowing there aren't always simple answers, for being prepared to argue your case, and doing so in a style that is powerfully appropriate. Great English teachers do all this and more. They have an impact beyond their knowledge, influencing generations of young people. They're the reason many of us are ourselves English teachers.

26-year-old New Yorker Telfar Clemens showed a specially commissioned film by Ryan Trecartin last night at the Jake Chiles Gallery on Bowery for his latest Telfar collection. By coincidence Patti Smith was hosting a poetry happening on the gallery's lower floor. The crowd was a mixture of young male fashion editors and art world types such as Slava Mogutin.
The collection is nominally menswear but due to the androgynous nature of the tiny string bikini swimwear and Terry toweling shorts and trousers, all could work equally well as womenswear. Still it's brilliant, menswear needs Telfar.
As much as Telfar's work seems more reminiscent of Europeans like Bernhard Willhelm than his American contemporaries, he's not a conceptualist overthink. This collection FORMALE:LIFE is designed to have multi-purposes, the boxer shorts come with cargo pant style pockets so you can wear them as outerwear or indeed as club wear. Telfar said of the gray, white and blue pallet that he wanted "everyday colors". He does insist that the swimwear is mens though. And confirms "of course I'd wear it, I designed it, it's the Jacob Rees and Fire Island bathing suit basically".
Telfar called the film by the Tumblr generation's favorite artist Ryan Trecartin, a "video catalogue, like what you'd get in an Undergear catalogue but a step forward." The film's standard suburban backdrops made for twisted version of images you'd expect to find in a mid-nineties mailorder catalogue. The meta-narrative? It's totally normal for men to wear a string bikini.

(BINGHAMTON, N.Y.) — Mayor Richard C. David is encouraging residents to contact the City with any questions or concerns before making investments in their homes related to the quality of their drinking water.
The City's Water Department has received complaints recently about private plumbing companies visiting residents' homes, reporting their drinking water is unsafe while attempting to sell them home filtration units or other expensive systems.
Residents should always request a free inspection from the City, which includes testing of their drinking water, before paying for work on their water systems. Before a contract is signed, residents should also request proof of valid permits and verify the contractor is licensed in the City of Binghamton.
"Binghamton's water quality is excellent, but scare tactics by private companies or individuals trying to make money are, unfortunately, not uncommon," said Mayor David. "Senior citizens are especially vulnerable to such scams. Residents should know City departments work for them and are always willing to help with any question or concern involving City services."
The Binghamton Water Department routinely tests city drinking water, as required by the state. Last year, the Binghamton Water Plant performed more than 800 microbiological tests for bacteria in its distribution system, exceeding the required number of tests by more than 200. The plant also tested for more than 140 other contaminants last year. Test results showed no microbiological standard violations and no concentrations of contaminants above the state regulated maximum contaminant level.
The complete Annual Water Quality Report for 2016 is available on the City's website.
To request an inspection by the Water Department or for other questions and concerns, residents should call (607) 772-7210.

text: At least 11 pedestrians have been injured in a car collision outside London's Natural History Museum, in a crash that "is not being treated as a terror-related incident", UK police said. A man was detained at the scene on Saturday after a vehicle apparently mounted the pavement outside the popular tourist attraction in the South Kensington area of the UK capital. "The incident is a road traffic investigation and not a terrorist-related incident," London's Metropolitan Police said in a statement later in the day. The crash happened at 220pm (13:20 GMT) on a day when the west London museum is usually teeming with pedestrians, including international tourists. Photographs showed a dented silver car and a man being pinned to the ground outside the museum. "We treated 11 patients, mostly for leg and head injuries, and took nine of them to hospital," Peter McKenna, deputy director of operations at the ambulance service, said. We attended an incident at Cromwell Road, South Kensington this afternoon. Our statement is below. pic.twitter.com/yBdANOXuZH — London Ambulance (@Ldn_Ambulance) October 7, 2017 The museum had earlier said on Twitter it was working with police after "a serious incident" outside and would provide more information later. Al Jazeera's Neave Barker, reporting from London, said that armed units and forensic teams rushed to the scene after the incident. Britain is on its second highest security alert level, meaning an attack considered highly likely, and there have been five attacks already this year, three involving a vehicle. "What we have seen is an incredibly rapid police response," he said. There is a tremendous amount of sensitivity and concern from the ordinary public," added Barker. "The police here in the capital are most certainly not taking any chances." SOURCE: News agencies Europe United Kingdom

The Fourteen Holy Helpers are a group of Saints venerated together in Roman Catholicism because their intercession is particularly effective, especially against various diseases.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
O God, who didst miraculously fortify the Fourteen Holy Helpers in the confession of the Faith; grant us, we beseech Thee, to imitate their fortitude in overcoming all temptations against it, and protect us through their intercession in all dangers of soul and body, so that we may serve Thee in purity of heart and chastity of body. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
FOURTEEN Holy Helpers, who served God in humility and confidence on earth and are
now in the enjoyment of His beatific vision in Heaven; because thou persevered till death thou gained the crown of eternal life. Remember the dangers that surround us in this vale of tears, and intercede for us in all our needs and adversities. Amen.
Fourteen Holy Helpers, select friends of God, I honor thee as mighty intercessors, and come with filial confidence to thee in my needs, for the relief of which I have undertaken to make this novena. Help me by thy intercession to placate God's wrath, which I have provoked by my sins, and aid me in amending my life and doing penance. Obtain for me the grace to serve God with a willing heart, to be resigned to His holy will, to be patient in adversity and to persevere unto the end, so that, having finished my earthly course, I may join thee in Heaven, there to praise for ever God, Who is wonderful in His Saints. Amen.
AMONG THE SAINTS/MARTYRS who in Catholic devotion are invoked with special confidence, because they have proved themselves efficacious helpers in adversity and difficulties, there is a group venerated under the collective name of the Fourteen Holy Helpers, although many of them have a devoted following as individual Saints:

Here's another example of someone doing wrong without realising.
You CANNOT have any type of screwed connection in a place that is not accessible. We had to attack this one from the ceiling as it was not possible to lift the floor above.
They have done a very neat job – granted, but screwed connections become loose and cause fires, the ones labelled – "electrical faults"
We repaired this with maintenance free connections as per electrical regulations that DIY'ers and some of out competitors don't seem to bother with.

I hate to disappoint but this will not be my final novel post update. Unfortunately, I am still about 500 words short and my brain has short-circuited tonight. I will finish tomorrow.
Current word count: 49,554
Tomorrow's goal: completion
There just comes a point in time when you realize that no matter how long you stare at the screen and place your fingers on the keys, nothing will be accomplished. After an hour of staring and eating my body weight in chocolate, I have surrendered and admitted defeat. Tonight was busy and emotionally draining without having the added pressure of finishing a novel tonight.

OK, sorry… couldn't resist. The actual name of this incredibly easy, incredibly complex-tasting meal is Mediterranean Za'atar Salmon but come on, where's the fun in that? Where's the alliteration?? Seriously though, this is a stellar salmon dish. Ha! See? I did it again — Seriously Stellar Salmon… now that's what this blog entry should have been titled!
All alliteration aside (sorry, I just can't seem to stop!), this is a one-pan dish that is just different enough to make it interesting. If you've never tried za'atar spice, you should! I have a handful of recipes that I use it in and have never been disappointed. The Za'atar gets used twice in this recipe. It seasons the broth that is used to cook the couscous and it seasons the mayo which is spread on the salmon before cooking. By the way, if you've never topped salmon with mayo before cooking, um, yeah…. it's a very good thing.
The recipe comes from Kraft Food & Family. Now, don't go looking down your nose at me or this recipe because of the source. I've gotten some really killer recipes from the magazine. They are always well-written, creative and definitely darn tasty. They just need to work on their alliteration.
Mediterranean Za'atar Salmon
Serves 4
1/4 cup mayonnaise
4 1/2 tsp. za'atar, divided
4 skinless salmon fillets
1 1/4 cup vegetable or chicken broth
1 cup Israeli couscous, uncooked
1 5-oz package mixed baby spinach and arugula salad greens (I actually used baby kale)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 Tbsp coarsely chopped Kalamata olives
1/2 cup crumbled Feta cheese
- Mix mayo and 1 Tbsp za'atar until blended. Brush half the mayo mixture onto salmon fillets; place, mayo sides down, in a large skillet. Brush remaining sides with mayo mixture. Cook on medium heat 5 to 6 minutes on each side or to desired degree of doneness. Remove fish from skillet and cover to keep warm.
- Add broth and remaining za'atar to skillet; stir until blended. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Stir in couscous; cover. Simmer on medium-low heat for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add all remaining ingredients except cheese; cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes or just until greens are wilted. Top with fish and cheese and continue to cook, covered, 2 to 3 more minutes or until fish is heated through and cheese is slightly melted.

It happens to almost everyone... the middle of the afternoon and you get hungry for a snack. Since I work from home most of the time, there is no vending machine for me to secretly stash a dollar into and pop out a Butterfinger. This is a good thing, really!
I had a light lunch today so was looking for something a little more filling to tide me over until dinner. So I made Sweet Potato Chips and they were delicious! They are really simple to make:
Heat oven to 425 degrees
1-2 sweet potatoes, sliced thinly (I used my new spiral slicer!)
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil or Coconut Oil
Yep, that's it! Cut up your potato and put on an oven-safe pan. Drizzle olive or coconut oil lightly over the top. Sprinkle sea salt and pepper and pop in the oven for around 15 minutes. You have to check it often so you don't burn these tasty little chips. You can really spice it up however you wish. Often I sprinkle with cinnamon as well. This recipe is 11 year old approved as well!
These look amazing. I have sweet potatoes in my pantry, so I think I'll make them today. One quick question: How long do you think these chips would last in an airtight container? They'll probably be eaten before I even have to worry about it, but just in case. Thanks again. I came here from your article on MindBodyGreen. I will also be trying the ginger tea soon.

Hi Lindsay, These are delicious! I would imagine you could store them for a few days. Just make sure they are completely dry before storing in an air-tight container.

Background information
Pointer is a variable which holds the address of another variable. Where, function pointer is again a variable which holds the address of a function.
If you think pointers are evil, then function pointers must be Satan for you. 🙂 Well, is there any easy way to create function pointers from function prototype? Indeed, there is. Its the "BAT" technique. Never heard about it before? No problem. Its invented by me just now. After watching BatMan series from cartoon network.
The "BAT" technique is this –
- Put Bracket or parenthesis around the function name.
- Add Asterisk or star in-front of function name.
- Now Typedef it to create a new datatype. Means change the function name to new datatype name and add typedef infront of it.
- Now you can use the new function pointer datatype like ordinary variables.
For instance, Assume we want to make a function pointer for function – DWORD MyFunction( int a, int b).
1) Bracket
DWORD (MyFunction)( int a, int b);
2) Asterisk
DWORD (*MyFunction)( int a, int b);
3) Typedef
typedef DWORD (*MyFunctionPtr)( int a, int b);
Ah! you have created a function pointer – MyFunctionPtr for function type – 'DWORD MyFunction( int a, int b)'
Now you can use it like any other variable in your code. For instance, just see the following code snippet with real world usage of function pointers.
// Callback function for progress notification. bool NotifyProgress( int Percentage ) { // Display progress and return true to continue. return true; } // typedef function pointer. typedef bool (*NotifyProgressPtr)( int Percentage ); // DVD Burning function with pointer to NotifyProgress // to update progress. void BurnDVD( NotifyProgressPtr FnPtr ) { for( int Progress = 0; Progress <= 100; ++Progress ) { // Call the function. (*FnPtr)(Progress); } } // Main function. int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { // Ummm... Burn one DVD. BurnDVD( NotifyProgress ); return 0; }
Function pointers are not that much evil. Isn't it? 😉
Targeted Audience – Beginners.

PAT Testing for Care Homes
PAT Testing for Care Homes is the responsibility of the "duty holder". As well as regular PAT Testing a schedule of visual inspections should be implemented; plugs, cables, sockets and appliance casings should be checked regularly for signs of wear or damage.
PAT Testing for Care Homes
Care Homes, like hotels, have a higher than usual demand on electrical equipment. There are the personal items that each client or resident may have in their room, hairdryers, phone chargers and TV's to name but a few. These need to be PAT tested as each new resident arrives at the care home. Also in each room, there is likely to be equipment such as an orthopaedic bed. This equipment is vital to the well-being and comfort of residents and must be kept in good working order at all times.
All portable electrical items in the kitchen, such as kettles, toasters, food processors and microwaves should be tested, not only to ensure the safety of anyone using them, but also to keep breakdowns to a minimum in order to maintain service levels. Care Homes usually have communal areas for watching TV or listening to music etc, these items should also be PAT tested. Some Care Homes also offer hairdressing facilities to their residents. Hairdryers, straighteners and heated rollers, if being used on the premises, should also be tested for electrical safety.
PAT Testing for Care Homes does not need to be an expensive, laborious task. A simple Testing schedule can be created with a rota of both visual inspections and PAT Testing. At FTS Safety Solutions we offer a complete safety solution for Care Homes. We can devise your PAT Test schedule and offer complimentary services such as Commercial Microwave Testing, Fire Extinguisher Servicing, Emergency Lighting Inspections, Fixed Wire Testing and Fire Alarm Maintenance. We even have a free reminder service that will advise you when each element of your health and safety testing is due.
If you would like any further advice on what should be PAT Testing for Care Homes, call us on 0330 660 0264 or email [email protected]
Until Next Time, Stay Safe,

Purim Guide
Purim Holiday Guide
What is Purim?
Purim, or the Feast of Lots, is a joyous holiday that recounts the saving of the Jews from a threatened massacre during the Persian period (539-330 BCE). The story of Purim is recounted in the Book of Esther, whose eponymous heroine plays the leading role in saving her people. The holiday is traditionally celebrated with wild abandon and with the giving of gifts to friends and the poor (definition by myjewishlearning.com).
Leave it to the Jews to have a cookie inspired by cultural annihilation! Hamantaschen are the triangular pastries associated with the holiday of Purim, when Jews read from the Book of Esther, the Megillah, and celebrate the triumph of good (Esther) over evil (Haman, who planned to destroy the Jewish people).
Now let's get down to it. How do you make good Hamantaschen? What can we fill them with? Can you make them gluten free? Learn all about these age old questions on our recipe guides.

It may be stating the obvious, but customers are the lifeblood of any business. And that demands a great deal of respect on the part of any business or organization, whether yours is B2B, B2C, or nonprofit. Regardless of the type of business or organization you're in, the most effective type of marketing always brings value to your customers by improving their lives in some way, or entertaining, educating, or solving a problem for them.
Adding value should always be a cornerstone of your marketing activities. Here are 10 tips for engaging your subscribers with value-added propositions.
1. Offer incentives
Providing incentives can not only re-engage previous customers, but it can give all customers an extra bit of encouragement to share your content on social media — all of which increases your opportunities for conversions.
When brainstorming ideas, consider one-off incentives that address the needs of your customers, or create an offer they can't refuse. Of course, make certain the incentive still makes good business sense for you.
Focus on providing incentives that are fun, educational, improve your brand's reputation, and that you can continue to build on. Examples include:
- Exclusive and discounted access to new services.
- Discounts on bulk or repeat bookings.
- Holiday discounts or offer programs.
- Custom packages based on your knowledge of customer needs.
- Branded swag that promotes your nonprofit organization's cause.
Remember, the goal of incentives is to demonstrate that all your subscribers are still important to you. In return, you're providing them with something that will enhance their relationship with you.
2. Reward loyalty
You want to continually reward your users in order to make them lifetime customers, members, or students. Launching a loyalty program is one of the most effective ways to demonstrate your appreciation for their repeat business or continued support.
The best loyalty programs usually focus on:
- Knowing and addressing your customers' and members' pain points.
- Adding enjoyment to their experience.
- Showing your customers or supporters that they're valued and cared for by offering perks, discounts, or early access to special events.
The most common loyalty programs are:
- A point system where customers earn points after purchase. These points translate into a freebie or special customer perk. For example, if you run a restaurant, you could offer one free entree for every $50 spent.
- A tiered system that rewards initial loyalty, but also encourages future purchases. Virgin Atlantic's Flying Club is an example of this system; customers start at the Club Red tier, but are then moved up to Club Silver and then ultimately the Club Gold. This encourages future purchases because the more money members spend, the more points they'll receive, which can be put towards Upper Class check-in and access to Virgin's clubhouses.
- A service that charges an upfront fee for VIP benefits, like Amazon Prime or entrance to an exclusive charity event or ceremony.
- A partnership with another company to offer an all-inclusive deal. For example, Southwest's Rapid Rewards program has partnerships with Hyatt and Best Western so you can earn points when booking rooms at these hotels.
- A gamified rewards program. Think Monopoly at McDonald's or the Yummy Rummy sweepstakes.
- Sharing stories of how your business, nonprofit, or college has helped the community and supporters.
- Discounts for repeat customers or supporters.
When developing a rewards program, make sure it's straightforward and simple. You don't want it to be so complex that your customers cannot take advantage of their perks.
3. Create and join groups/forums
Whether it's creating or joining relevant forums on Reddit, Facebook, LinkedIn, or Google+, this is a simple and powerful way to connect and engage with your customers and supporters. For example, if you're a nonprofit that focuses on providing coats and blankets for the less fortunate, you could create or join a group or forum that answers donors' questions about things like drop-off locations or whether you accept monetary donations in lieu of a jacket.
4. Host a contest
Hosting a contest exclusively on social media or in email newsletters is a great incentive for your subscribers and followers to engage with your brand. Simply giving away a free T-shirt to your fans on Facebook after they "like" your post can strengthen your brand identity, exposure, trust, and loyalty. That's exactly what T-shirt company Qwertee did by giving away 1,000 T-shirts for one week. In order to enter the contest, you just had to like its page and submit an email address. Even though 1,000 lucky fans received shirts, the campaign was able to gain 100,000 new fans.
5. Hold Q&A sessions
Q&A sessions, such as the popular "Ask Me Anything" on Reddit, gives your customers, fans, and supporters the opportunity to answer any questions they may have regarding your business, mission, products, or services. Q&A sessions can also provide additional inside information, like how you started your company or institution, your organization's values, and the culture in which you work.
6. Conduct polls and surveys, or commission a case study
Asking a sample of your target demographic for feedback through polls or surveys allows you direct contact with subscribers. This provides your subscribers with an opportunity to tell you what they think about your organization, products, or services, as well as to make specific suggestions. You can then use this valuable information to improve what you offer them.
You can also commission a case study be written about solutions to problems facing your organization. For example, Roxboro Community School (RCS), located in Roxboro, N.C., wanted secure funding to build a new gym/multipurpose area, engage the community, and quickly make those improvements so students wouldn't be distracted. The charter school was able to raise $1.6 million in pledges for its Raise the Roof campaign, inform the community, and finish the work ahead of schedule.
By sharing this case study, other charter schools could follow the model to solve similar problems. Try to keep these as short and simple as possible. Your customers are probably less likely to complete lengthy polls and surveys, or read in-depth case studies.
7. Put customers in the spotlight
Who doesn't enjoy a little attention every now and then? Promoting your customers or supporters because of their loyalty to your brand makes them feel more valued. This could be anything from selecting a "Customer of the Month" to congratulating contest winners in your next newsletter, or sharing their content or causes with your audience. You can then shine the spotlight on some great customers by profiling them in your blog or newsletter.
8. Respond to reviews
Responding to comments — both negative and positive — is one of the best ways to reach out and engage with customers. Say, for example, that while monitoring your reviews, you come across a bad experience that a customer had with your brand. Reach out to him or her and find out what exactly went wrong, then apologize and work together to find solutions to resolve the problem — even if that means sending them a new item free of charge.
9. Give product tours and guides
Creating a video and uploading it to YouTube can help explain to your customers all of the benefits your products and services can offer them. Additionally, you may want to film instructional videos customers can refer to when setting up your product or service. For example, if you run a furniture company, you could provide a YouTube video on how to assemble a bookshelf, or care for specific items of furniture.
10. Offer exclusive, quality content
Finally, you can provide exclusive content to your customers. When someone subscribes to your newsletter, they could be automatically offered a white paper or useful guide. After that, you could provide them weekly emails sharing the best advice and latest tricks. Just be upfront and clear about what content and how often you will be sending. You do not want to overwhelm subscribers with too much content they may not want.
Providing value will make you stand out from the crowd which will allow you to increase awareness and create brand advocates for your business.
How have you offered value to your customers? Let me know in the comments.
