"Songs of Spring," 6-inch blocks by Lori Smith, outer border by me, is hand quilted and bound...just in the nick of time to be my second entry for the Sauder Village Quilt Show next week (Tuesday through Sunday) in Archbold, Ohio, along with "Baltimore Rhapsody" - the big music monster.
This tiny baby measures about 36" x 42".
I just love appliquing these fun, tiny blocks...the blocks are the perfect size for a baggie, take-along project...once they are glue prepped for applique.
I drive the quilts to drop them off on Sunday afternoon...yippee! Best not to peak too soon, LOL!
The hand quilting is pretty boring...outline quilting of block motifs, diagonal grid through the blocks, piano key motif above the swags, and dense echo quilting in the outer border.
Since I am coordinating a huge fundraiser "Pastapalooza" spaghetti dinner for my daughter's high school music program this Friday night, I needed hand quilting therapy last week and weekend. Hand quilting calms me down when I am contemplating a hanging death by hot, al dente pasta noodles...
I just love that stop border green wiggly striped fabric. It gives the quilt a little motion.
Here are the twelve little blocks. They are such a cute, little size...
Here I am, nervously soaking out the blue quilting lines and the glue from the corner outer border motifs. I pre-shrunk my cotton batting before basting the layers together so that I could keep the overall shrinking of the finished quilt to a minimum.
Would you believe this is the first time I basically washed a quilt right after finishing it...not even waiting for it to get soiled? I'm thrilled it didn't come apart or get all bunchy...
I don't know what I was afraid of...the small size made it an easy chore.

You bet your Marsh I do!
|—The Arena Of Death
Marshmallow, labeled The Sweet One, was a female contestant on Inanimate Insanity who was placed on Team Epic. She returned for Inanimate Insanity II and was placed on The Bright Lights. She is voiced by Dee Cashin.
Marshmallow is a small white cylinder-shaped marshmallow.
Marshmallow is a naïve, kind-hearted, innocent, fierce, and aggressive player. She is commonly characterized as sweet, joyful, and vivacious with others.
As a critical and occasionally cynical person, Marshmallow is generally concerned only with her own interests and is not afraid to speak her mind without caring about the consequences. Though being so puny and inadequate, Marshmallow makes up for it with strong motivation and usually carries through challenges with ease. Her aggressiveness can sometimes drive her to make rash decisions, such as destroying the bar in "War De Guacamole" to kill OJ, and using Apple to cross the quicksand in "4Seeing The Future". As a result, Marshmallow primarily cares only about herself, and occasionally her select friends, often causing trouble between her and the other contestants.
Marshmallow has been through many unreliable relationships. Marshmallow's friendship has constantly been difficult with Apple, as the two quickly became enemies after Marshmallow ruined Christmas for Apple in "The Snowdown". However, in "Marsh on Mars", Apple and Marshmallow were quick to resolve their issues and come to a truce and spend more time together. Apple began to develop an excessive clinginess to Marshmallow, who disliked the attention she was receiving and began to see Apple as an annoyance rather than a friend. Their relationship turns for the worse following the events of "Let 'Er R.I.P.", where Apple reveals that she was using Marshmallow for the competition, destroying their friendship. This was later resolved in Kick the Bucket, where Bow not only told Marshmallow that she possessed Apple to say that Marshmallow is a bad person, but get Marshmallow to work up the courage to help Apple escape Hotel OJ to join her, Bow, and Dough in the haunted house.
Marshmallow has become untrustworthy of others and tries to keep her problems to herself. When she opens up to friends, no one seems to understand or give helpful advice. Marshmallow also develops a deep hatred towards the competition and how it changes people. Eventually, Marshmallow is driven to leave the competition and get away from the stress it caused her.
Official Site Bio
Marshmallow is a kind and fierceful player. Though being sweet and joyful with friends, her enemies have seen the sour side of her. Further into the series, Marshmallow appeared to care more about herself than others, causing trouble between her and the other contestants. She also has an odd obsession with Wal-Mart and is prone to being abused due to her sweet mushy exterior.
|—Inanimate Insanity Site, 2013
She may appear kind and endearing... but don't let her sweet exterior fool you! Marshmallow has evolved into a fiercely defiant player who usually puts her own issues before others. Due to conflicts with other contestants, she has developed significant trust issues as well as an uncertainty as to whether anything on the show is real. Despite her small stature, what she lacks in physical presence she makes up for with her blunt nature and outspokenness. If Marshmallow wants something, she'll stop at nothing to get it even if she has to venture outside the parameters of the game to do so.
|—Inanimate Insanity Site, 2018
Marshmallow is known for her unique powers, such as:
- Gravity Manipulation: Marshmallow possesses the ability, or rather, inability to use gravity correctly. This ability doesn't appear to be voluntary, but it has both helped and hindered Marshmallow in many challenges, such as in "The Crappy Cliff" and "Crappy Anniversary" where she is shifted to the side before landing in the water, or in "War De Guacamole" where she is halted right before hitting the spinning saw and flung back upwards.
- Shattering Voice: Due to her incredibly high pitched voice, Marshmallow has the astounding ability to shatter glass just by yelling, shattering unfortunate contestants like Test Tube in "Marsh on Mars".
- Healing from Fire: Noticed in two episodes, "The Stacker" (burnt from "One-Shot Wonder") and "Breaking The Ice", Marshmallow is able to be burned and recovered without MePhone4's help.
Voice Actors
- Adam Katz (US/UK/AU/CAN) (Season 1)
- Dee Cashin (US/UK/AU/CAN) (Season 2)

- Marshmallow apparently thought that Paintbrush was a male.
- Marshmallow is tied with Paper (in "A Lemony Lesson") and Paintbrush (in "Alternate Reality Show") for receiving the fewest votes to be eliminated, both at 3.
- If you count disqualification and being killed as proper elimination, she is instead tied with Dough at 0 votes.
- Marshmallow's sizing has noticeably become smaller as the series progressed.
- Marshmallow has the record for one of the most times in the bottom three, with 4 times.
- Marshmallow is the first and only contestant so far to be disqualified.
- According to the Inanimate Insanity website, Marshmallow has perfect pitch, or the ability to identify a musical note without a reference.
- Marshmallow is the only contestant to kill another contestant with her voice.
- Marshmallow is the first contestant to own a time travel machine as seen in 4Seeing The Future.
- The other contestant is Test Tube in Alternate Reality Show.
- Marshmallow was the only contestant that may have made it to the merge twice, but due to her disqualification in season 2, she didn't make it.
- After Marshmallow's disqualification in "Alternate Reality Show", the remaining returnees all rank higher in season two than they did in season one.
- Apple and Marshmallow are the only two returnees that have ranked lower in season two than they did in season one.
- Marshmallow is the only member of the Bright Lights not to be voiced by a male in season two.
- However, she was voiced by Adam Katz in season one.
- She is one of the two contestants to be disqualified in both seasons overall, the other being Nickel after a misunderstood voting in The Stacker being resolved in War De Guacamole. However, she wasn't disqualified due to misunderstood voting, she was disqualified due to running away from the show.
- She is one of the three Inanimate Insanity II contestants not to be eliminated by any voting (if you don't count Fan's automatic elimination, two), the other being Dough (eaten before joining the game, MePhone being unable to make a recovery icon for him), and Fan (automatic elimination, but only if you count it).

Carlsbad Village Farmers Market
We decided to get some stuffs recently at the Carlsbad Village Farmers Market and ended up with this bounty of avocados, sweet onions, Japanese turnips (never tried them), and a cabbage the size of my head and weighing nearly as much! Shopping at a Farmers Market is an excellent way to support your local farmers and buy some quality super-funky fresh produce, often at prices better than the grocery store. Some vendors have organic food, too. We are blessed to have so many Farmers Markets in the San Diego, CA area.
We couldn't pass up the deal on avocados since they are $1.50 to $2.00 at the grocery store right now (crazy!). One vendor had vegan tamales and even though they were a little pricy we tried a black bean tamale and a veggie tamale with some killer salsa. They were so yummy and fresh. No lard – Yay! We wanted tomatoes, but there weren't any really awesome ones, yet. Maybe next time. Strawberries are in season, but we had a whole 8 pints recently and are almost straw-berried out, which I don't think is humanly possible. Can't wait to make some killer stuffs with all this goodness. It always makes us feel happy, inside and out, to buy local food.
You can find Farmers' Markets (and more) in your area by going to the Local Harvest website. For more information about the Carlsbad Village Farmers Market click here. Wish I had remembered to bring my camera to the actual market. Bah! Next time. Keep it funky and vegan!

Don't try to shove a square peg into a round hole – it simply will not fit. Not only will one be wasting their time, but this fruitless effort bathed in pride will be delaying precious fulfilling life-changing experiences one could know while working in and around that sweet spot known as your life's calling.
Nothing feels as liberating as working in the field to which you have a calling – be it ministry, a corporate position, a home based business, birthing an invention or idea into fruition, instructing or speaking on topics of expertise, and any other scenario we are drawn to inwardly but simply are at odds with outwardly since we are beating out of sync operating in a foreign place – working out of our calling. Trying to maneuver around a place we don't belong simply won't satisfy for the long haul and one will feel deflated and unfulfilled in a multitude of ways. Suddenly we may wake up one day well into the years of dull ventures we have been on along the not so suitable path and realize how much time has been wasted and how many excuses we have used before we own the fact we have been given ONE life and a God-given place of "making a difference" in the lives of others.
We may even sink into further despair as the once strongly held desires of our heart dissipate suddenly due to a set back in the journey, become derailed by a discouraging comment from someone significant to us that made the dream seem impossible, or even that little voice in our own head that says "it will never fly". That other voice we often listen to generally takes precedence over believing the voice of our Lord God Who has equipped those that He calls for the work at hand and gives us great pleasure in that journey as well (Hebrews 13:20-21). Why would we not believe the One that made us for His purpose and muffle out His brilliant plan and voice?
For me the answer to his question lies in the basic vision flat lining arena of FEAR and procrastinating the inevitable failure we think we will face. Simply put, we don't have faith that God can and will do His finest work despite or short comings and inabilities and we might, just might not fail at all. Even if we do have set backs, the Lord is the Master Weaver as working all things together for our good and never leaves a faux pas unused. . And when successes take place He is the One Who deserves the credit!
The definition of success also varies widely from person to person. Your calling may not be to create or run a million dollar company or making a headline news piece, but certainly it COULD if we put our passions into action behind the plow of determination to make a dream come to reality. When we operate within the will of God, ANYTHING is possible for the Lord God the Creator of the Universe Who has no limits functioning with unspeakable power in and around that person. Don't miss it, don't allow time to waste, visions to fade, and the monster of negativity to create a halt in your progress. How many days are we guaranteed a breath and yet we live as if we have forever to finally grab hold of the brass ring that we were wired to hold on any given scale?
Time to stop and change directions and move along with the areas of life you were meant to be the warrior that you are – here are a few helpful steps to get thinking into the mode of productivity in the right direction:
1. Pray on it. Nothing but nothing beats absolute communication with our Father Who is bursting with kindness and surprises for His children, which leads me to this reassuring statement; make sure you are a child of God in order to receive His blessings. All one has to do is simply believe in Him as Savior and then seek His kingdom first and His righteousness which is learned through the meditation on His Word the Bible and spending time in fellowship with Him. He will begin to shape the desires of your heart according to His Word if you will delight in Him, and then soon, one will want what He wants. (Psalm 37:4)
2. Get to know yourself. With a pen and paper, write down what YOU love to do, to dream on, to see, to feel, to experience. Don't rush this process because a person who has suppressed deep desires and life long goals may need to resurrect those ideals with a bit of soul searching. On the flip side, if you are a visionary as I am, we may have a quiver full of ideas and need to sift through and find the ones that need to hold the top spots.
Don't overlook your day dreams as a sub-level of enjoyment to what we think is more important. Let me correct you on this erroneous thinking …there IS no line of distinction here. Your desires are vital and one of the sweetest discoveries of His handy work to equip you for the call. RUN into that desire and steep in this area of thinking especially if you have been particularly dead to thought of "what if". Chew on the possibilities and let it steep for awhile in your mind. Don't let money or lack of money become the obstacle. Lack of dough cannot become the excuse as that says that "it" is more of a god than the real God Who owns it all. Pray for provision rather than fearing the lack of it.
3. Mentor – get a GOOD mentor who has been there and done that. One of the greatest errors one can make is to communicate with those we KNOW will deflate one's sails and over look a variety of well suited and Godly leaders who have been in a position of success gifted in their expertise that would delight to spend time helping a person shape a dream into reality. Don't rush into mentoring to simply "get someone" but certainly don't delay in seeking out those that are making things happen in their world. And if the first person says "no" then look for another. They are out there, ready to help and certainly you can find a host of great leadership in writing by such authors as Robert Kiosaki of Rich Dad/Poor Dad (my personal favorite) or Loral Langemeier (Live Out Loud). These two people via their writing and recording and seminars rocked my entrepreneurial world and made ALL the difference in propelling me into action.
4. Choose your timing to get started and then DO IT. If a product will fly later in the year, then don't press "go" on it now, be patient on this, but don't delay on the behind the scenes work in preparation for the launch. Sitting idle is pointless when you have embarked on the quest. If that book needs to be written, then do the outline and fill in the info and work on the book cover and back for illustrating – many will want to glean from your wisdom. If you are ready to launch a business, consider the cost before you build and develop your allies around you for the work sake and make friends and be friendly where ever you go. This has been a huge benefit to my work because I genuinely love people and love to bring them joy.
5. Don't look back. Move ahead and don't forget to check in with your mentors from time to time as they are far ahead of you in the line of successes. Never let it become known that you eventually won't listen to wisdom because we have become prideful, too busy, or a know it all. Never stop learning and understand there will be days you may doubt, feel lazy, have a set back with something that will be an opportunity for you to decide that you have to work through the speed bump rather than let it stop the progress.
6. When you have finally launched, contact me about coaching no matter what stage you find yourself in with your dream. It's time to get things in motion and there is nothing I find more satisfying than seeing someone successful and being all that they can be. I want to know that this article made a difference. In the end no one will satiate thirst and hunger as you will by working on the road the LORD meant for you and not the plan of someone else in your life!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Defense Secretary Robert Gates said on Thursday that prospects for closing the Guantanamo Bay detention camp were "very, very low" given broad opposition in Congress.
President Barack Obama has so far not been able to meet his promise to close Guantanamo, but the White House said this week he remained committed to doing so. The facility has drawn international condemnation for the treatment of detainees.
Gates, testifying to the Senate, saw little hope for any breakthrough with Congress, which approved a bill that Obama signed into law last month barring terrorism suspects at Guantanamo from being brought to the United States for trial.
"The prospects for closing Guantanamo as best I can tell are very, very low given very broad opposition to doing that here in the Congress," Gates told a Senate hearing.
Obama is believed to be in the final stages of reviewing U.S. detention policy. He said in a May 2009 speech that there was a need for "prolonged detention" for some terrorism suspects who could not be tried but posed a threat to security.
In Washington on Wednesday, CIA Director Leon Panetta told senators that al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden likely would be sent to the Guantanamo prison if he were ever captured.

Adjutant II
Okay, I have converted the Python 2.7 code to Python 3.2 code. It wasn't anywhere near as bad as I expected. Most of the problems were print statements becoming print functions, and some object which could be treated as lists in 2.7 but have to be explicitly converted in 3.2. Next step is to update the documentation. That is going to take a while for sure, since I want to add some graphical representations of objects and process flows, but that is a large part of why I downloaded Dia last month.
To share the current counts that I get when I run the test suite on Adjutant:
- 2,514 lines of code.
- 1,390 lines of comments.
- 60 classes.
- 208 methods.
- 35 unbound functions.

Labour market guides: careers with skills shortages
Employers find some types of jobs harder to fill than others. These are known as skills shortage areas. In theory, it may be easier to find work if there are fewer other applicants for the jobs you apply for, and employers could feel more pressure to offer a competitive salary. In practice, you will still need the right skills and a genuine interest in the job to get hired. What's more, skills shortages can exist in areas that offer relatively low pay, such as driving or cleaning.
Many of the areas that have offered particularly good employment prospects over the past few years revolve around science, engineering, healthcare and, to some extent, IT, business and social work. Not all job areas with skills shortages require a university education or equivalent – for example, experienced chefs have been sought after.
However, skills shortages change over time. There's no guarantee that an area that has a skills shortage when you are a teenager will still have one five years down the line.
From chefs to doctors, the roles in demand
The UK Visa Bureau's shortage occupations list is a helpful starting point. Its actual purpose is to inform UK employers and potential immigrants what jobs can be filled by workers from outside the EU, but the information is useful to anyone interested in skills shortages.
Jobs on the list include:
- numerous professional engineering roles
- numerous healthcare roles, especially for experienced doctors
- social workers in children's and family services
- various roles in visual effects and 2D/3D computer animation for film, television or video games
- top-level ballet dancers, contemporary dancers and orchestral musicians
- secondary school teachers specialising in maths, physics or chemistry
- various roles relating to physics and geology
- several senior-level roles in nuclear decommissioning and waste management
- several roles relating to electricity transmission and distribution
- actuarial roles in various industries
- experienced high integrity pipe welders
- several types of experienced chef.
Skilled tradespeople and machine operatives more sought after than professionals
Another source is the UK Commission for Employment and Skills (UKCES)'s Employer Skills Survey, which is conducted every two years. This contains less information about specific jobs with shortages, but gives a broad-brush view of the situation in different industries and at different levels.
The most recent survey, conducted in 2017, found that jobs defined as skilled trades had the highest percentage of vacancies caused by skills shortages. In this category, the top three jobs with skills shortages were:
- chefs
- vehicle technicians, mechanics and electricians.
- metal working production and maintenance fitters
The survey notes that skilled trades has been the area with the highest percentage of skills shortages for a number of years.
Machine operatives was the area with the second highest percentage of skills shortages, particularly in construction.
Jobs defined as professional had the third highest skills shortage problem. This category covers jobs for which a good deal of relevant education and training is required, such as a relevant degree and/or professional qualifications. Examples include doctors, solicitors, architects, accountants, nurses, teachers, social workers and professional-level engineers and IT workers. The survey doesn't specify which particular jobs were most in demand but does note that the greatest shortages of professionals were in the manufacturing, construction, information and communications, business services and health and social work sectors.
Health, food and drink and other growth industries
According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the industries with the biggest percentage growth in number of employees in 2017 and 2018 were:
- electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply industry
- real estate activities
- water supply, sewerage and waste
- professional, scientific and technical roles
- mining and quarrying.
Areas with falls in employment numbers included arts and entertainment, information and communication and construction.
This information comes from the ONS Annual Estimates of Employees from the Business Register and Employment Survey (BRES) 2018. The report looked at how many workers were employed by which broad types of industries and found that 'between 2017 and 2018, the largest increase in employee estimates by industry has been in the professional, scientific and technical industry group (up 82,100, or 3.3%), followed by the wholesale and retail trade, repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles (up 52,000, or 1.1%)

Rosemont police and firefighter/paramedics responded about 12:47 a.m. to the Hyatt Regency Hotel at 9300 Bryn Mawr to a report that someone broke a bottle with a chemical with a strong chlorine smell on the ninth floor. Firefighters were informed by 9-1-1 dispatch that people in room 963 reported that there was a strong chlorine smell and at least four people were forced to go out on the hotel room balcony.
Firefighters at about 1:00 a.m. reported finding a broken glass bottle on the ninth floor in the stairwell that initially showed a reading as high as 20.6 on the chlorine meter. Next, firefighters reported they made entry into the stairwell and firefighters reported that "whatever the substance is, it is overloading our chlorine meter."
At 1:04 a.m. firefighters reported that the source is a plain glass jar with a white powdered substance as contents. In the open air environment of the vestibule, firefighters detected a reading of 4 on the chlorine meter.
Firefighters activated an EMS Box Alarm about 1:03 a.m. and a HazMat alarm about 1:07 a.m. The EMS Box Alarm was eventually elevated to a third alarm, which brings more than 15 ambulances to the scene.
Initially four people were transported to Resurrection Hospital at about 1:20 a.m. and five people were transported to Lutheran General Hospital. Patients were transported from the scene or walking up to paramedics as late as 3:35 a.m. Sunday. Patients were reported to have been transported to Resurrection Hospital, Gottlieb, Lutheran General, Westlake, and Our Lady of Resurrection ("Little Rez").
People were allowed to return to the dance floor and lower convention area, but people were then evacuated back out of the dance area.
Firefighter/paramedics from Arlington Heights, Bellwood, Chicago O'Hare's Squad 7, Des Plaines, Elk Grove Village, Elk Grove Township, Elmhurst, Elmwood Park, Melrose Park, Norwood Park, Park Ridge and other communities responded to assist.
The HazMat box was struck out about 3:00 a.m. A witness reported about 4:21 a.m. that an "All Clear" was given to guests to return inside the hotel "about 30 seconds ago." The EMS Box Alarm for extra ambulances was struck out at about 4:23 a.m. Sunday.
A 15-minute video starting just before 1:30 a.m. shows about 100 people outside the hotel with firefighter/paramedics arriving near the Expoteria Restaurant convention center.
The Skokie Valley Kennel Club was hosting an all breed dog show at the convention center from Friday, December 5,2014 to Sunday, December 7, 2014. The furry character costumes were apparently part of the Midwest FurFest 2014 — another group that was using the hotel and amenities.
YouTube channel publisher Axio Wolf provided video coverage from the street outside the hotel, which was also reported to be a live stream broadcast from another video service.
An official media release has not yet stated that the substance was confirmed to be chlorine. However, the odor described, and the symptoms reported at the scene are consistent with chlorine exposure. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the symptoms of chlorine exposure are burning of the eyes, nose, mouth; lacrimation (discharge of tears), rhinorrhea (discharge of thin nasal mucus); cough, choking, substernal (occurring beneath the sternum) pain; nausea, vomiting; headache, dizziness; syncope. Medical signs include pulmonary edema; pneumonitis; hypoxemia (reduced O2 in the blood); dermatitis. Liquid contact can cause frostbite.
According to a NIOSH publication (CAS Number 7782-50-5) the Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health Concentrations (IDLH) number for chlorine exposure is 30 ppm. According to CDC (NIOSH), the chosen IDLH is based on the statement by the International Labour Organization (ILO) in 1971 that exposure to 30 ppm will cause intense coughing fits, and exposure to 40 to 60 ppm for 30 to 60 minutes or more may cause serious damage.

As many of you know my husband is Canadian so this year I decided that I would cook up a Canadian Thanksgiving, kind of a test run for the "real" Thanksgiving. However, last week my husband was really sick so I have been postponing making dinner. Finally last night everyone felt fine and I had everything I needed to put together our Canadian Thanksgiving dinner.
For dinner I made a Thanksgiving Tart, Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Roasted Japanese Yam and Roasted Noochie Purple Cauliflower. The best part of this meal (besides eating it) was how easy it was to make. I turned my oven on to preheat to 400F and put everything together.
For the Thanksgiving Tart:
(I adapted from this recipe)
Serves 4
What You Need:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup onion, diced
3/4 cup celery, diced
5 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 14-ounce can white kidney beans, rinsed (reserving 1/4 cup)
3/4 cup walnuts
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons shoyu
1-1/4 cups frozen chopped spinach
3-1/2 tablespoons apple juice sweetened dried cranberries
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 9-inch prepared spelt pie shell, thawed
1/2 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
1 teaspoon shoyu (for brushing)
What You Do:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, celery, garlic, salt, and pepper, and cook for 7 to 9 minutes until onions soften and begin to caramelize. Set aside.
- In a food processor, add white beans (except 1/4 reserved cup), walnuts, lemon juice, and shoyu, and pulse to lightly chop (do not purée). Remove half of chopped mixture from food processor and transfer to a large bowl.
- Transfer sautéed onions to the remaining mixture in food processor. Purée until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
- Transfer purée to bowl with lightly chopped beans and walnut mixture. Add spinach, cranberries, thyme, and cup of reserved beans. Stir to combine and transfer to prepared pie shell, spreading evenly.
- Combine oil and tamari, and brush on top of pie and crust. Bake for 35 minutes until lightly browned.
This weekend I also made Happy Herbivore's Low Fat Chocolate Glazed Doughnuts.

It's summer and you need beach snacks! What better snack than something that doesn't need to be refrigerated, is healthy, and gives you that punch of protein?
Here's a recipe I've experimented with and created, that I sent to John while he was deployed. He loved them, and I think you will too!
You'll Need:
- 3 cups raw walnuts (pecans also work)
- 1 egg white
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- cinnamon to taste (at least 2 tablespoons)

What Exactly Is Matched Betting?
Put quite simply, matched betting is where you are betting on both outcomes of a single event happening in conditions, which will result in you making a small loss.
Sounds a bit crazy doesn't it, and you're probably asking, why would you want to make a loss?
Well, here's the trick, you'll be making money through the free bets that the bookmakers give out, which come as either:
- Sign up offers eg William Hill have a bet £10, and get a free £30 bet offer
- Or reload offers eg Money back if your horse finishes second
All you need to do is to repeat the first step again to make sure you only make a small loss, and you get to keep the rest of the free bet!!! Magic!
My Matched Betting Dream
I've spent over a year in matched betting and have made many mistakes along the way.
I've tried to describe what I've learned and take you on a blow by blow account of my journey over that time in My Matched Betting Dream series.

Useful Matched Betting Guides
Getting into Matched Betting can be quite a daunting thing.
There are loads of new terms for you to learn, hundreds of different matched betting strategies to get used to as well as all the different types of offers to get your head around so I've tried to distill this all into a simple Matched Betting Guide for Beginners
This guide will take you through the simple steps of:

Being that I bought a few boxes of clear ornaments on sale last year, I decided to get crafty and make a DIY memory Christmas ornament. I love the idea of memorializing a trip we took and incorporating it into the holiday season.
All that you will need for this project is a glass ball ornament, paint (I had both glass paint and puffy paint, but ended up only using the puffy paint on this one) and your memory item that you plan on putting inside the ornament.
For me, the memory item was sand and shells collected from the beach in Maui just outside our condo during our Honeymoon. I even found that great 1/2 a coconut on the beach and used it to keep the sand in on the way home inside a Ziploc bag. Someday I will find a used for the coconut too.
To start off with this project I needed a funnel. Unfortunately I do not have one so I grabbed some tin foil and made a quick and dirty version to help get the sand into the ornament.
Once the majority of the sand was funneled in, I grabbed a few of the larger shells that could still fit and topped it off.
The last steps were to put the ornament topper back on and use my paint to write "Maui" and "2011" onto the ornament.
Once dry I simply tied on a ribbon for a festive look and hung the ornament on my tree. I did this at the end of Christmas season last year, but never got around to sharing the tutorial. Alex & I wait until after Thanksgiving each year to decorate for Christmas, so no this is not our tree this year yet. There you have it, a simple and unique way to take a walk down memory lane and decorate for the holidays.

July 12, 2018 — Zebra Medical Vision has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Coronary Calcium Scoring algorithm. The algorithm, capable of automatically calculating a patient's Agatston equivalent coronary calcium score from an electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated computed tomography (CT) scan, provides physicians with important data used in the assessment of the risk for coronary artery disease.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of death in developed countries. It remains responsible for approximately one-third of all deaths of individuals aged over 35 years old. According to estimates, nearly one-half of men and one-third of women over 40 years old will develop some symptoms of CAD in the United States. Numerous studies have shown that early detection and treatment of CAD can reduce the incidence of heart attacks in at-risk populations. Studies have also shown that coronary artery calcium score is useful for risk stratification of patients.
"Identification of high-risk individuals is key to prevention," said Prof. Ran Balicer, director of the Clalit Research Institute. Clalit is the largest integrated healthcare payer/provider system in Israel, caring for over 4 million people. "Zebra's algorithm could run on CT studies of the chest and potentially help identify people with cardiovascular risk sooner, allowing more effective treatment and overall reduction of adverse outcomes and healthcare costs for HMOs such as Clalit."
The coronary calcium algorithm is the first Zebra algorithm to achieve U.S. approval. The company has had seven algorithms achieve CE mark in Europe.

In the US presidential election campaign both President Barack Obama and his Republican challenger Mitt Romney have made clear what sort of century they would like this to be.
"If we meet our responsibilities, then — just like the 20th century — the 21st century will be another great American Century," Obama told the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. Romney agreed. "In an American Century, America has the strongest economy and the strongest military in the world. … In an American Century, America leads the free world and the free world leads the entire world," he told The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina.
Australia's Prime Minister this week, by contrast, declared it The Asian Century.
Similarly a month before Australia's business and government leaders attended a forum entitled "Australia in China's Century". No one questioned the title. Instead the overwhelming view of those in attendance was that Australia was not doing enough to adjust to the supposedly inevitable new geopolitical reality: a China-led global order. Kerry Stokes, one of Australia's leading businessmen and a man who has never uttered a word publicly about China's stomach-turning human rights record, nevertheless declared the small increase in the number of US Marines rotating through Darwin made him feel "physically repulsed".
It often said that we don't need to make a choice between China and the United States – but doesn't the rhetoric from some our business and political leaders implicitly suggest that, at least at some level, many are making a choice?
A few weeks ago I put this question to Kevin Rudd at a business lunch in Hong Kong. In previous speeches he had referred to the 21st Century as "the China Century, the Asian Century". Challenged directly on this formulation though, he backed away from it: he said he now preferred phrases like the Asia-Pacific Century or the Pax Pacifica. Although, typically inconsistent and erratic, he now appears to have endorsed it again.
Rudd, of course, like many, was keen to repeat the line that "we do not need to make a choice between our economic ties to China and our military ties to the United States". Long may that be the case. But is talk of the "China Century" or the "Asian Century" really consistent with that message? What would the boys in South Carolina think?
Relax, the argument goes, these are just useful slogans — a way of simply focusing attention on the economic importance of Asia and China in particular. Perhaps.
But when has there ever been a sustained period when the world's most economically powerful country was not also the country with the world's most powerful military? One struggles for appropriate historical parallels. Is it not then reasonable to expect that China, if it overtakes the United States as the world's largest economy, will not in due time also become the most powerful military force?
More broadly, is it really in the interests of Australia for this to be a non-Western century? Is that not what "The Asian Century" implies? Again, it would be naive to assume that the character of the age will not change if the leading power which currently underwrites it changes.
Everyday Australians are surely not indifferent about whether the global order will be determined by a fellow Western liberal democracy like the United States or, instead, by the current party which rules in Beijing or someone else in our region. Why then this blithe talk about the China Century, the Asian Century from our business and political leaders? Rather than giddy excitement at how the tides of history have turned is not the more appropriate reaction some level of quiet reflection and unease about how far the rest of the Western world – the countries with which we have most in common – have fallen? Why would we assume our fate is ultimately going to be any different to Greece's?
Or is talk of "The Asian Century" just spin and not intended to have real consequence? Suspicions are raised not only by the gratuitous way ALP policy has been incorporated in the document, but also because of the timing: the paper was commissioned last year out of the blue by a Prime Minister concerned her Mandarin-speaking then-foreign minister was grabbing the headlines and threatening to challenge her.
I love many aspects of Asia. There are many opportunities, but we need to be extremely clear-headed about our interests and not give confusing mixed signals in our foreign policy.
Confucius, as it happens, also detested political spin and loose use of language. In one of his most famous passages he railed against them:
"If we don't use the correct words, language is not in accordance with the truth of things. If language is not in accordance with the truth of things, affairs cannot be carried on to success, the political order becomes a sham. A wise ruler takes great care to ensure the words used are correct and appropriate."
I think we need to add "The Asian Century" to "misogyny" and "budget savings" as words that are used for short-term dramatic effect but, in reality, mean whatever the current government wants them to mean. Confucius would be appalled.

By Joseph Varilone, LSA Senior at the University of Michigan
I know what it's like to be harassed because of how you look. Whether I'm riding my bike down a busy road on Ann Arbor's south side, walking down the street I live on, or talking on the phone in front of the campus library; if I'm wearing clothing that marks me, a male-identified and male-presenting individual, as "feminine," I am immediately subject to staring, taunting, and harassment.
I embrace my femininity. So-called women's clothing has been a part of my wardrobe since I was 18, and I have come to love skirts, leggings, hair clips, and some other traditionally feminine things. I would probably wear dresses if I felt more comfortable in them. The labels genderqueer and hard femme describe me well; and although I don't really identify with the labels gay, bisexual, or pansexual, heterosexual doesn't seem to fit my experiences either. Regardless, sexuality is fluid and subject to change, but however I choose to label my experiences, I feel undeniably, unapologetically, irrevocably queer.
I think of queerness as not something limited to sexual orientation, but as taking on the realm of any significant departure from norms regarding gender expression, gender identity, and sexual orientation. Queerness is fluid and dynamic. Queerness does not look like one particular thing, and means different things for different people. Queerness questions compulsory serial monogamy and marriage. Queerness questions binaries, especially the gender binary of woman/man, female/male. Queerness is fierce, confrontational, uncompromising, and political. Queerness creates space for transgender experiences and narratives. Queerness questions the little boxes that gender norms make people fit into. Queerness is not hostile to heterosexuals or people that otherwise fall within gender norms, but only to those that seek to delegitimize those who don't. Queers ally themselves with other struggles against oppression, recognizing the intersectionality and inter-connectedness of our struggles. Queerness is anti-assimilationist—we make no apologies and don't try to legitimize ourselves based on supposed similarity to mainstream lifestyles. And we surely don't apologize for being "born this way" (if that even describes a particular individuals experience)–as if alternative sexual orientations or gender expressions constitute some sort of disease.

Russian crude exports to Japan increase despite weaker trade – Rosneft CEO
"In 2014, oil imports to Japan from Russia amounted to 13.5 million tons, which provided 8.2 percent of the country's total oil consumption of 168 million tons," said Sechin at an energy conference. "The potential of our trade and economic relations remains largely untapped," he added.
OPEC no longer oil market key regulator, US is - Rosneft CEO http://t.co/3t0YrkKstspic.twitter.com/PAoJPrNtiq— RT (@RT_com) October 13, 2015
According to Sechin, energy production in Russia is stable or even on the increase, as are exports. He added that the current price situation in the energy market is a good opportunity for energy consumers like Japan to cut costs.
Sechin also touched on Saudi Arabia's oil strategy. According to the CEO, the vast spending to hold or increase market share, doesn't bring Riyadh any significant gains.
"Low prices have forced them to spend tens of billions of dollars from sovereign wealth funds, to resort to foreign borrowing. Recently, it also became necessary for them to apply measures of fiscal austerity. Thus, the Ministry of Finance of Saudi Arabia recommended other ministries cut costs. In particular, it was recommended not to buy new cars and furniture, not to rent new premises and freeze the appointment of new employees till the end of the year," Sechin said.

However, despite the huge costs, OPEC countries continue to refuse to regulate the oil market. "At a recent OPEC meeting no decisions were made again," said the Rosneft CEO.

Interview with T.J. Kline!
Learn more about T.J. here >
Hi! To start off, please tell us your name, where you're from, and what you write.
My name is T.J. Kline and I write sexy contemporary romances, both small town and thrilling romantic suspense.
How did you become an author? Please share a bit of your journey with us.
I have wanted to be an author since I was a child. I was always making up stories and, when I was too young to write them down, I had my grandmother do it for me. She was the first person to fuel my love for reading with the many Golden books and later for romance, with her closet filled with Harlequins. Even though I wasn't published until I was married with children, twenty years after writing my first novel, it was a dream that never faded.
What are you working on now? Do you have a recent or upcoming release?
Right now, I am putting the finishing edits on the third book in The Sisterhood series (Dangerous Secrets) and starting the fourth (Dangerous Virtue). It's about a band of women vigilantes who have taken on a sex trafficking ring. While none of them realize quite how close to home this case will strike, they each find out they might give up everything, including their lives, to succeed. The first two books are available at online retailers and Radish now. The third will be pre-released, exclusively on Radish, before its release date this Fall on retailers.
Who is a person you greatly admire and why?
I think it's pretty easy to tell that my grandmother was someone I adored, as well as respected greatly. Born in Oklahoma, she (and her family) survived the Dust Bowl. After her parent's divorce, she went through a tumultuous childhood, leaving home at sixteen. After a whirlwind courtship, she married my grandfather (who was the love of her life!) and they went through his two tours in World War 2 together before she was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Because medicine was far less advanced in the 50's and 60's, by the time she was thirty, the disease was already debilitating. By forty, she'd already had several surgeries to repair joints and by fifty, several joints were fused because they couldn't be saved.
It might have slowed her, but the pain never stopped her. I was lucky enough to spend most of my days with her and my grandfather, after school, on weekends. We had shopping trips, played gin rummy, knitted. She taught me that it was only your mind that limited you and encouraged me to achieve anything I wanted. Although she was taken far too early and I miss her daily, I know that she lives on in each of her children, grandchildren and the lessons we have passed on to her great-grandchildren.
Please share one piece of advice to aspiring authors - what do you wish someone would have told you? Or, what did someone tell you that you'd like to pass on to others?
This is hard.
I know that's not a popular idea. And it might make several aspiring authors think twice about pursuing writing. It should. Writing is hard work. Editing is hard work. Getting critiqued is HARD. Each in its own way. And it should be. The best things I've ever found in my life were hard to achieve but because of the "hard," I have appreciated each so much more than I realized I would. Knowing the work I put in, the time spent researching, practicing and perfecting has fulfilled me more than I ever thought possible. The "hard" has given me a feeling of completion, of success, that can't be taken away. Even when the doubts creep in as they invariably do.
Being a professional author, a writer in this time and place, isn't just about writing. It's writing, editing, marketing, selling, branding, and then repeating. It's being able to watch trends in all of the above areas and navigating those worth pursuing and those that are distracting.
It's hard…but so worth the hard.
Speed round!
City, suburb, or small-town? Small town…well, outside a small town for me. I grew up in the city until I was fourteen, then moved to live on 5 acres. Give me space, horses, crickets at night and stars I can see.
Dark chocolate, light chocolate, or white chocolate? All chocolate! If given a choice, I will take the best quality chocolate available and, all things equal, will probably pick dark chocolate.
Alpha, beta, or both? I love a mix of both. A beta who knows when to be an alpha. I've had Alpha's and, being one myself, it's not a good combination. But a strong Beta…ah, yes. A match made in heaven.
Wine, whiskey or punch? I never used to be a wine drinker until my thirties. Now, I'm pretty picky about my wine. However, I never turn down a good whisky.
Hot dogs, hamburgers, or tacos? Burgers, bonus points if I get really good garlic fries with it!
Boxers, briefs, or commando? I'm assuming this is for my Beta above? Boxer briefs while out, commando at home ;)
Cowboy boots, biker boots, or flip-flops? Depends where we are…Beach? Flip-flops for sure (and NOT other sandals!) With our horses? Boots. A night out? A pair of dress shoes.
Leather, lace, or silk? I personally love a combo of leather and lace. Tough but feminine, sassy and sweet.
Cake, cookies, or crumpets? Brownies, always brownies!
Top, bottom, or against the wall? Yes, please…
Biceps, abs, or buns? Can't I have all three? Add in a nice chest, a little scruff on the jaw and amazing eyes, and this Beta is perfect!
Cats, dogs, or exotics? All of the above. I currently have 3 dogs, 3 cats (not counting the stray who gave birth in my garage and is now moved into my house) as well as 3 horses. But I've also had birds, ferrets and turtles. My dream would be to run a rescue.
Any last words before we say goodbye?
Read, write, repeat! It keeps your mind sharp! Oh, and never give up hope, for anything. As long as you have hope, nothing is ever over.
Dangerous Promises
Dangerous Intent
T.J. is giving these away!!! Hurry and enter before it's too late!
6/12/2018 07:38:59 am
I relly enjoyed your interview and your remarks about writing being hard work (but so rewarding) were spot on. I'm a fellow animal lover and always dreamt of running a horse/dog rescue if I ever came into money. In the meantime I have to be content with my horse, rescue dog and 'ferel' cat!

Santana Announces the Release of "Santana IV" With the Original Lineup
Carlos Santana (guitar, vocals), Gregg Rolie (keyboards, lead vocals), Neal Schon (guitar, vocals), Michael Carabello (percussion) and Michael Shrieve (drums) have come back together for the first time in 45 years to record what is, essentially, their follow-up to Santana, Abraxas and Santana III. All three of the original albums went two-times platinum while Abraxas achieved three-times.
Santana IV features 16 all-new tracks written and produced by the band that burst with the same unparalleled energy and musicianship that made Santana a pioneering force in world music and a household name across the globe. Joining the core Santana IV band in the studio are current Santana members Karl Perazzo (percussion) and Benny Rietveld (bass), with the legendary vocalist Ronald Isley guesting on two cuts.
The origins for the reunion go back several years when Schon suggested that he and Carlos Santana record together. Santana liked the idea but went one better, proposing that they recruit Rolie, Shrieve and Carabello for what would be called Santana IV. After initial writing sessions and rehearsals took place in 2013, the group recorded throughout 2014 and 2015, amassing 16 spellbinding tracks that combined all their signature elements – Afro-Latin rhythms, soaring vocals, electrifying blues-psychedelic guitar solos, and irrepressibly jubilant percussion work – with widescreen hooks and melodies that will lodge themselves in the thicket of listeners' senses and stay there.
"It was magical," Santana says. "We didn't have to try to force the vibe – it was immense. From there, we then needed to come up with a balance of songs and jams that people would immediately identify as Santana."
The band's signature sound arrives forcefully on the album opener Yambu, a righteously gritty and soulful stomper teeming with swirling B3 organ hooks and walloping guitar crunch.
The first single, Anywhere You Want to Go, is destined to storm the pantheon of Santana classics. Written by Gregg Rolie, it's a sexy, body-shaking winner and an unmistakable tip of the hat to the inescapable cha-cha/Latin jazz charms of Oye Como Va.
Ronald Isley (The Isley Brothers) is a special guest on two tracks. His vocals highlight the feverishly impassioned Latin-rock workout Love Makes the World Go Round and the hard-edged and funky Freedom in Your Mind. Guitar fans expecting fireworks from Santana and Schon will cherish Santana IV from front to back. All Aboard is a no-holds-barred guitar jam of the highest order, as is the slinky, soulful metal cruncher Caminando, which explodes with tectonic axe force. And on the unabashedly British blues-tinged Shake It, the two go toe to toe on not one but two extended solo runs that will have lovers of unhinged fretboard work rejoicing.
"Carlos and I feel more connected than ever," says Schon. "We get super-aggressive when we play, but also melodic and poetic. We have an incredible dialog with each other on our guitars."
Santana's recurring themes of love and tolerance are common threads throughout Santana IV, most dramatically on the epic tone poem album closer Forgiveness, a languid and breathtakingly gorgeous atmospheric groover.
Music fans familiar with the "roaring lion" artwork on Santana's 1969 debut album will instantly greet Heather Griffin-Vine's graphic for Santana IV as a gloriously realized update of that iconic image. "I really think the music goes along with the cover, and vice versa," says Santana. "It all fits together beautifully."
Few bands can pick up a musical dialog after 45 years apart, but on Santana IV, each band member reaches a new level of virtuosity and communal intuition on a collection of songs that easily stands side-by-side with the group's treasured early work.
"When you can go back and break new ground with joy and determination – and some whoop-ass energy – it gets you going," says Santana. "I think we achieved something very rare. This music was screaming to come out of us. It wasn't about nostalgia. It was about passion."
Santana IV will be released on April 15, on Santana IV Records and is distributed by Thirty Tigers/RED Distribution. It will be available for pre-order on Amazon in CD, Double 180 Gram Vinyl with Download Card and Digital configurations.
As a special offer for fans attending select shows on Santana's upcoming Luminosity tour, a CD copy of Santana IV is included with every pair of tickets.

Like most SMEs in the UK automation service or repair industries, NDC are no strangers to the legislative and regulatory requirements of trading within – and, indeed, outside – the EU. We've built up our international business by establishing a network of global distributors. Unsurprisingly, we found it much easier to grow our business in Europe than in other parts of the world, due mainly to the many similarities in technical, financial and legal standards that the UK shares with EU member states.
This legislation is often criticised as being bureaucratic red tape that imposes additional costs which smaller businesses, in particular, feel. Leave campaigners are looking to negotiate a free trade agreement with the EU, which could help to remove some of that red tape, a move which would be welcomed by many SMEs. However, all companies that enjoy the free trade area must comply with the same standards and costs so, in actual fact, there is a level playing field.
EU legislation has greatly helped in harmonising standards across the EU and has allowed companies such as NDC to sell their products and services to EU countries knowing that they will meet all current regulations. In fact, we have experienced considerably more red tape when exporting to countries outside of the EU.
Uncertainty will be the most likely immediate effect if Britain votes to leave the EU. And that uncertainty is sure to have an impact on UK growth and investment which will, in turn, affect UK industry. While we may have the opportunity to trade more freely with other economic areas – which should be an advantage to UK exporters – it's hard to imagine that this would compensate the UK for any significant loss of EU trade in the short-to-medium term.
Today, NDC's exports outside of the EU account for less than 10% of our business. In the future, like many other UK exporters, we would hope to increase trade outside of the EU, but this continues to depend on reaching free trade agreements with other large trading blocs. Less-developed economies offer the prospect of potentially huge growth for export, and improved relationships with these countries could be hugely beneficial to the UK. Outside of the EU, we would be amongst a handful of Western economies that could gain full access to these markets.
Longer term, it's hard to say what the effects of a UK exit could be on the VSD repair industry. Throughout the development of the automation industry, Britain has been a member of the European Union and the country is full of European-manufactured automation products. UK exporters have also worked hard to develop strong relationships within the EU. If we were to shift focus from the EU and replace these relationships with perhaps the Chinese or Brazilians, it will obviously take a lot of time and resources to get us back to the position we're in today within Europe.

The Presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has cautioned that the only way to bring prosperity and development to Ghana is through a new dimension of leadership .
Addressing party supporters at the Koforidua Jackson Park in the Eastern Region, Nana Addo mentioned that together with his running mate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, that sort of leadership will be realised for the rapid transformation of the nation.
The NPP Presidential candidate promised his government was going to fix the economy which had been suffering for most part of the 3 years of the NDC rule.
He said: "Right now, our money has lost its value and its part of the reasons why I chose Bawumia to partner me so we work on the cedi so that it will be of value. This will help boost businesses for us to make profits. Also when we get paid, we will know that we have money in our pockets."
According to the Presidential hopeful, if Ghana had a government which had foresight and plans to develop the nation, "most of the products we import from outside could have been manufactured here in Ghana to create jobs and employment opportunities for the youth."
"The NDC [National Democratic Congress] claim there is no money in Ghana but the NDC Ministers and other government officials are spending our money indiscreetly. The money given to Woyome, is it not our money? Can't we use that money for something better? We can; the money is there and so we will come and use it judiciously to protect Ghanaians. We won't use it on unnecessary payments like false judgement debts and paying fraudulent claims against the state."
