So, after our douchey babysitter quit, we opted to go with the sitter who watches up to seven children at once, despite my anxiety over the many cooties BabyJaguar would catch (and he has, we're now on illness #3 since my return to work). And you know what? He.loves.it.there.
He loves being around all the kids. I am now considered quite boring in BabyJaguar's eyes as there is only one of me. I in no way can compete with the several tiny tots and bushels of toys that are at Nancy's house. It's true. And I'm okay with it. In fact, I'm happy about it because I know he's happy and well cared for.
And Super Sitter Nancy? She's great. Nancy's one of those people who is just meant to care for young children. She's so laidback and you can tell she enjoys the kids. Nancy took the time to talk with me on the phone, meet me in person and then meet BabyJaguar in person, too. And she was really sensitive to my concerns about how many children were there. She let me bring my own Pack'n'Play that is just for BabyJaguar where the other kids who are older share them. And Nancy always encourages me to call and check in whenever I want and she's just warm and fuzzy and lovey and all the things you want in a sitter.
She's so good that, sometimes, when I drop BabyJaguar off in the morning, I feel grossly inadequate as a mom as I watch her deftly care for four or five little ones at once and I, meanwhile, didn't manage to eat breakfast while just caring for my one, quite easygoing kid. But that's a good thing, too. It means my kid's in the right place.
The other thing that makes me really happy is that he's being raised in a home by a good family. Nancy has three children, all in their twenties, and when she's having a hectic day, they help out. Her own children are so nice and just naturals at caring for kids. I came in the one day to her twenty something son feeding one of the babies a bottle and just cooing away at the little guy, laughing and talking with him the whole time. It was adorable.
You know when you meet someone and they just immediately give off the "good people" vibe? That's what it is. They're a family of good people. Sure, we've had hiccups along the way: bibs that are MIA, a puppy eating a teething ring and that one time we realized another kid was drinking BabyJaguar's bottle of breastmilk, but the bottom line is, they're just hiccups. Those things are all small when I know that he's cared for by someone who truly cares about him.
I think Douchey Sitter #1 came into my life for a reason...to let me know when a really great sitter came along. If BabyJaguar had started off in Nancy's care from the beginning, I would've just thought that this is what all sitters are like. I wouldn't have known how special she is and how lucky I am that she came into my life. So, I guess I have to thank you, Douchey Sitter #1, for showing me what sucky daycare is really like. Your gross inadequacy at showing my child affection and attention is much appreciated.
And, as for you, Nancy, well, I big pink puffy heart you.

The list of what we do to foreign cuisine is endless and now we're being got at by foreign chefs. Our culinary crimes?
- putting chorizo in pasta
- tapas being sold as a small portion rather than given free with a drink
- Substituting cabbage for crispy seaweed
- putting pineapple on a pizza
- putting chicken in a pasta
- pepperoni means pepper not processed meat (See comment on this point which says it doesn't so my mistake here)
- serving salad with pasta
- cooking a risotto like rice pudding
- spaghetti hoops?
- balti just means bucket
- chicken madras is unknown in India
A reader suggested ratatouille and chips!

Henderson Bay Scholarship Fund
Every year, local businesses, organizations and individuals award scholarships to Henderson Bay graduates. All graduating seniors who plan to continue their education are encouraged to participate in this scholarship program.
In order to compete for many of these scholarships, you must complete a scholarship notebook. Local donors utilize these notebooks to determine which students best meet their award criteria. Others prefer to let a school committee select the student or students who meet their criteria or who are most deserving. Your notebook will represent you and allow the donors and/or the scholarship selection committee to get to know you.
Since selections are based on your interests and achievements as illustrated by your scholarship notebook, you will want to present your best self. Your notebook will include a statement of purpose that details your future plans, letters of recommendation, awards and accomplishments, and personal pages of photos, artwork, poems, and other tangible illustrations of your life.

It's been awhile but I have a $40 date idea for y'all.
Recently Shaun and I attended a Yelp event at Tanoor Grill. It was delicious and we had an awesome time.
The Yelp group
In fact, we enjoyed it so much we went on Valentine's day. Again super yum but stuffing oneself with meat is perhaps not the most romantic activity. Plus eating giant meals before bedtime is not a great idea so our interest was very peaked to check out lunch and a few weeks later we did.
Regardless of the time of day your visit to Tanoor the meal starts with appetizers, which are also unlimited:
Baba ganush
Pita bread
Roasted potatoes
Then the meat parade begins!
Boneless Chicken
Roasted Chicken
Stuff Pita
At dinner there is also ribeye, filet and lamb but no stuff pita. But trust me, the lunch meat offerings are plenty! Make sure you request their sauces - garlic, spicy and lemon dill. It's fun to try the different meats in each and find your favorite combo.
Just when you think you're about to burst they bring grilled pineapple.
Even if you're stuff I highly recommend getting at least one piece as its a nice palate cleanser.
Meals include tea - the sweet tea has ginger and honey, so good! Lunch is $14.95 (so with tax and tip $40!!!) and dinner is $29.95. I honestly prefer lunch because it gives me plenty of time to digest all my meat. Plus, I only need a shake or piece of fruit at dinner time.
Everyone at Tanoor is so nice! The ambience is simple but they keep the lights dim and play middle eastern music. I highly recommend grabbing your sweetheart and taking a long lunch this weekend.

The spring break came and went so quickly it hardly seemed like a 'break' – more like a 'breath,' as in catching one's own before hurtling through the final crazy weeks of spring semester. With my husband and I teaching at different colleges, our days off rarely coincide, so this latest and much welcomed work-free week was mine to spend alone, tearing out the old strawberry patch and replanting it.
As a master gardener in another county some years ago I learned that most strawberry plants tucker out after three years. In the case of my Traveler's Joy garden, the plants had simply overfilled their quadrant in that length of time and were sending runners all over the rest of the vegetable garden. The young plants were growing too closely together, as well, and this formerly orderly and productive bed was choked with Bermuda grass and thistle. I estimated it would take me two full days to lift the plants, separate the old mother plants from the youngsters, hand-weed the bed, lay down new compost, and replant the third-year plants. Either I grossly miscalculated the work involved, or I am aging more quickly than I reckoned (or, even more likely, both these conditions prevailed) because the work took me most of the week and taxed every muscle and joint in my body before I was finished.
I only persisted because of the formidable reward promised by such labor: there is nothing so delicious as homegrown strawberries picked and eaten directly from one's own garden, unless it's raspberries picked and eaten from one's own garden, and I grow those as well. As the first soft fruit to come ripe in a southern spring, however, May's strawberries (confusingly called 'Junebearers') are the most eagerly anticipated.
Last year's crop was spectacular, given the size of my patch, and I know to dampen my expectations with this renovated planting. However, since the plants were settled in we have had good amounts of rain alternating with sunlit days of balmy temperatures, leading to a riot of blossom. It's a good thing most strawberry types are self-fruiting, as bees have been scarce in my garden so far this spring (more on that in a later entry). I lost the labels on these when I moved the first plants from another garden several years ago, but I think they may be Earliglow as well as another Carolina-recommended variety, possibly Delmarvel, since both types bear early.
|Early harvest from last year's patch
Having completed final exams at her law school in North Carolina, our daughter delighted us with a brief visit, bringing along her fiancé and his mother so we could all talk wedding plans and get to know each other even better than we do. Since I have had strawberries on my mind but none are yet ripening in my garden, I broke down and bought a pound of Florida-grown fruit in order to make a strawberry cake. The flavor on these berries was unusually good for store-bought; nevertheless, I did my best to enhance them by sprinkling the hulled and sliced berries lightly with sugar and letting them macerate in their own juices at room temperature for a couple of hours before cooking them in the cake.
I clipped this recipe out of a Martha Stewart magazine or article years ago and have tweaked it to suit. While it is the soul of simplicity, it manages to elevate a mere occasion to a celebration when served with heaps of real whipped cream and strong coffee.
6 tablespoons butter
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
½ cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pound ripe, fresh strawberries
Hull and halve berries. Place in bowl, sprinkle lightly with about ½ teaspoon sugar, cover with plastic wrap and allow to stand at room temperature for 1 hour or more.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a pie plate with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In a food processor (or mixer), mix butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Reduce speed and mix in egg, milk and vanilla extract.
Gradually mix in flour mixture. Transfer batter to greased pie plate and distribute evenly over bottom of plate.
Arrange strawberries cut side down atop batter in pan, placing them as close together as possible. Sprinkle very lightly with additional sugar, if desired.
Bake cake 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325 degrees. Bake until cake is golden and firm to the touch – about 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool in pie plate on wire rack. Cut into wedges and serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
(May be stored at room temperature, wrapped, for up to two days… but it won't last that long!)

A few months back I stumbled across Mulberry Press Co on Instagram and I was hooked. I fell in love with this simple graphic tee and patiently waited for them to restock. Everything Sera makes is just perfectly cool, and this shirt is no exception. I'm not one to toot my own horn, but I am proud of how hard I work as a mom and as a business owner. I think this graphic tee fits me to a T.
In other news, my black jeans finally gave out. They have served me well, but they were fading too badly. Honestly I've been wanting to distress them, so I'm perfectly fine with the fact that they were practically begging for it. I used my distressed denim tutorial, and it worked great. Now to find some new, nice black jeans....
Also - I have a Nickel & Suede announcement! After many, many, many requests, we finally can offer our cut out leather earrings in size medium as well as the large. They are so amazing, and I know that you will love them. We will not be offering the size small in a cut out (they are too small for it), but I just know anyone can pull off the medium cut outs. I promise! You can find them in the shop today in Textured Black, Nude, London Tan, and Cognac!
Have a great Monday!

Cooling foods: Peach, cucumber, mint tea
Cut back on: Ice-cream (seriously – you'll feel hotter after eating it)
Best food for whiter teeth: Strawberries and cheese

Other teeth foods: Cauliflower, celery
Cut back on: coffee, cigarettes, and gummies
Best food for sad days: Salmon
Picture credits: http://www.recipeshubs.com/baked-salmon/17850

Annelie Gross, the ITS x YKK accessory finalist, tells us why she's pioneering a new aesthetic for orthotics
In her Defects collection, German-born designer Annelie Gross uses fashion to explore her interest in medical aids and their relationship with body deformities. Growing up with the desire to assist those not blessed with fully functioning human bodies, she began to wonder why medical aids had to look so unsightly when they provide something so positive. With this question in mind, she started tapping into traditional ideals of perfection, aiming to challenge how people perceive orthotics and body deformities by re-creating medical aids using media with which they are not typically associated. Her designs, presented here, twin traditional orthopaedic materials with materials more commonly seen in jewellery, and are both wearable and viewable as a standalone artefact. With her striking designs and unique concept, it's no surprise that Gross was one of the finalists in the 2013 ITS Accessories Award, organised in partnership with YKK. We met the finalist to hear more about how she created Defects.
How did Defects come about?
Annelie Gross: The project came about as part of my Master's in Fashion Artefact at London College of Fashion. The course allows you to be very experimental with your work, and the tutors encourage you to develop a collection that blurs the lines between fashion and art.
What drew you to orthopaedic pieces?
Annelie Gross: The collection has a lot to do with my family's background in orthotics. For over 150 years now my family has been making prosthesis and other medical aids. During my undergraduate studies, I worked in our family workshop a lot. It was then that I started wondering why medical aids had to look so unattractive, when they offer something so positive.
How do you go about incorporating unconventional materials into your work?
Annelie Gross: I wanted to create a new aesthetic within orthotics by using materials that are usually not seen in a medical environment. I combined common orthopedic materials such as polyethylene with materials used in jewellery and accessories such as silver, leather and acrylic glass. With this mix I tried to take a fashion approach to medical aids, potentially introducing a new way in which people view medical aids.
Do you think exploring non-traditional ideas of perfection is important in the current fashion climate?
Annelie Gross: Some designers had already worked with models like Amy Mullins or Mario Gallo, who were born with body deformities, for example. I hope it will happen more often. I hope that my collection challenges the current idea of orthotics as well as the body ideal that fashion tends to prescribe.

St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 10, 2013 - Twelve different players scored for the No. 2-ranked Washington University in St. Louis women's basketball team and the Bears scored 35 points off 28 Fontbonne University turnovers as they rolled to an 83-53 win at Fontbonne Tuesday evening.

Number : Season 20, episode 2 of 6.
Which One : Tegan's return bout with the Mara.
Cast : The Doctor : Peter Davison
Tegan : Janet Fielding
Nyssa : Sarah Sutton
Lon : Martin Clunes
Tanha : Colette O'Neil
Ambril : John Carson
Dojjen : Preston Lockwood
Chela : Jonathon Morris
Dugdale : Brian Miller
Hawker : George Ballantine
Megaphone Man : Brian Grellis
Puppeteer : Barry Smith
Fortune Teller : Hilary Sesta
Written By : Christopher Bailey
First UK Broadcast : 18 – 26 January 1983.
Length : 4 x 25 minute parts.
Plot : The Doctor takes Nyssa and Tegan to the planet of Manussa, where Tegan begins to have nightmarish Mara flashbacks.
Whats good : It's another 'Mara' episode. Tegan gets another much needed character airing. Martin Clunes as a new-romantic with lipstick and chandelier earrings.
Whats bad : The story is a little muddled and overly detailed and lacks the deep spiritual punch of Kinda. Martin Clunes as a new-romantic with lipstick and chandelier earrings.
Review With Spoilers : Snakedance is the follow-up to Kinda. It came about due to the surprisingly good reception to Kinda, from the fanbase.
Season 20 was intended as each episode featuring a different past classic villain. Snakedance was different in that the Mara had appeared in the previous season but was not a classic villain (not at the time anyway!).
Snakedance gave Tegan another chance to take centre-stage and play an evil version of herself, possessed by the Mara. It was a rare stretch for a companion to get so much material and shows how highly Tegan was thought of – as a companion.
Meanwhile, Martin Clunes of Men Behaving Badly fame pops up in this; bizarrely dressed as a new-romantic, wearing lipstick and earrings. But bizarrely, he's quite good – as 'Lon', the lazy rich son of a great Manussan hero.
"The still point is within yourself, nowhere else! To destroy the Mara, you must find the still point!" Dojjen
When compared to its predecessor – Kinda, Snakedance does not have the same religious or spiritual deepness.
It plays much more as a straight episode of Who and as a result does not have the same impact or memorability. The Mara special effects have definitely improved though, when it comes to showing a giant snake.
Still, if you take the two Mara adventures as a whole, then you have two unique stories which stand out from the plethora of other samey monster episodes – from Who's past.
If you liked Kinda, then you may like this also but it's definitely not as good as it's predecessor.

There are some vegetables that fascinate me but I don't think I'm going to have a go at growing them. Top of that list is this large white person, the daikon, or Japanese radish. It's a daunting sight, that enormous white root 18 inches long. I always feel that growing long, straight carrots and parsnips is a pretty good effort, but I suspect daikon may well be that 'root vegie too far' for my heavyish, loamy-clay soiled garden.
One minute of Googling 'daikon' tells me that this Japanese word means 'big root' – and, well, slap my forehead and stun me into slack-jawed silence, that's a surprise!
What brought me to trying daikon was simply browsing for new flavours. I wanted to cook something with prawns (shrimp) yesterday, but something new that I haven't tried before. So I went browsing through my Asian cookbooks and found two nice recipes in the Korean section of my old, favourite Asian standby, 'The Complete Asian Cookbook' by Charmaine Solomon. One recipe is for a daikon and apple salad, and the other is for a green bean and prawn stir-fry. With steamed rice on the side, I had a dinner for two!
|The slightly tricky bit is dry-toasting the seeds in an oil-less
frypan. Letting the seeds burn is the big boo boo, and
constantly stirring and checking them for colour is the
main task. Over medium heat, toasting takes a few minutes.
|The daikon itself is soft to cut, like other radishes
and has a typically radishy zing to its flavour, but
it's not too hot, as some radishes can tend to be.
|Then slice the daikon into matchsticks.
|And slice two spring onions crossways, finely,
both the white and green parts being used.
|For the salad make the dressing in a bowl. It consists of light
soy sauce, vegetable oil, sesame oil, vinegar, crushed toasted
sesame seeds, chopped chilli, salt and sugar. The flavours are
balanced but the lingering taste is, of course, of sesame.
|Toss the salad components together well, cover and chill in
the refrigerator while you make the stir-fry (and cook the rice).
|One finely sliced white onion.
|A blend of vegetable oil and sesame oil.
|400g green beans, trimmed, sliced on the diagonal.
|400g green (uncooked) prawns, each cut
in half lengthways, then crossways, to make
the 'small prawns' the recipe asked for
but which I couldn't find.
|The sauce for the stir-fry, which consists of light soy sauce,
sugar and those crushed toasted sesame seeds.
How was it? Yummy all round, I even got the rice just right. The dominating flavour in the daikon and apple salad, at first bite, turned out to be the slightly tart apple, but as the meal progressed that slightly peppery zing of the daikon worked its way forward.
The prawn and bean stir-fry was also very easy to eat.
Pam and I love to eat Korean food but we're not really interested at the ubiquitous 'cook at the table' barbecue which is what you find almost everywhere. Korean food has so much more to offer than that admittedly delicious barbecued fare. I also make the famous Korean rice and vegetable dish 'Bi-Bim-Bap', and I love their seafood pancakes and shallot pancakes, too. Such an interesting, robust, different cuisine!
And so, for the recipes, here goes
Mu Saingchai – white radish salad
1 giant white radishes
1 crisp cooking apple
lemon juice
2 spring onions
1 1/2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon salad oil
1 teaspoons sesame oil
1/ 1/2 tablespoons mild vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 tablespoon toasted, crushed sesame seeds
1/2 fresh red chilli, seeded and finely chopped
Peel radishes and cut into matchstick strips. Peel apples and cut into similar strips, and soak in cold water with a good squeeze of lemon juice to prevent discolouration. Slice the spring onions very finely, including white and green portions. Combine all remaining ingredients and toss with the radish, well-drained apple and spring onions. Cover and chill before serving.
Saewoo Bokum - green beans with prawns
400g small prawns
400g tender green beans
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 medium onion, finely sliced
3 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
3 teaspoons toasted, crushed sesame seeds
Method: Shell and de-vein prawns, chop them roughly and set aside. Top and tail the beans, remove strings and with a sharp knife cut into thin diagonal slices. Heat oils in a wok and str-fry the onion for 1 minute, add prawns and stir-fry 1 minute, add beans and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add seasoning and mix well, cover and simmer on low heat for 3-4 minutes more. The beans shouldn't be overcooked, so take out one after a while to taste test it for 'doneness' and if it's ready, take it all from the heat and serve with steamed rice and the daikon salad.
Remember, both recipes are from Charmaine Solomon's best-selling 'The Complete Asian Cookbook', my old standby from way, way back. I've halved the quantities for the daikon salad (and even that still made enough for four) and I've changed the method slightly in the green beans and prawns stir fries.

Best Practice for Managing FOG
To ensure that your commercial kitchen abides by the correct waste legislation and that your establishment is able to deal with grease and oils appropriately, we offer a comprehensive solution that can be tailored to the needs of your business.
Managing FOGs in a commercial kitchen
To help ensure that your commercial kitchen is able to deal with FOGs correctly, our team of grease management experts have put together a list of tips:
Check the water temperature of your dishwasher. If the water is too hot, grease will flow through a grease trap before it cools and congeals. A lower water temperature could even save you money on your utility bills.
It is important that commercial kitchens recycle waste oil wherever possible. Make sure that the person who removes waste oil is a registered waste carrier, and provides you with a legitimate waste removal notice. For more information about FOGs waste legislation, contact our team today.
Dry wipe and clean excess food off cookware and plates before washing them, and dispose of food waste with other solid waste. This will greatly reduce the amount of material going into your grease processing unit, and ensure it functions more effectively, and requires less regular and expensive maintenance.
Make sure that your grease management equipment is regularly checked and maintained according to the operating instructions. Certain separators and dosing units require daily or weekly action to be carried out by staff in addition to routine servicing by our grease management specialists.
It is important to keep a log of all grease management maintenance and routine actions by staff, problems encountered, and work carried out by professionals as this will help you fine tune your grease management processes and optimise your service intervals.
Our service is carried out in 3 Stages:
Site Survey
Filta will survey your establishment, to correctly identify your requirements.
Our trained engineers will install a grease management system to suit your needs.
On a regular basis, we will ensure the equipment is working effectively & efficiently.

Discussion in 'Trip Reports' started by Canoedog, Nov 27, 2016.
Nice write-up and pictures - thanks! :big_thumb
Why do the rangers insist on weighing gear?
If they let in 50 people/day, how do people 'get spread out' - if you paddle faster than average, aren't you running into slower parties & folks taking a 'storm day' in camp?
Why do the rangers insist on weighing gear? - They only weigh canoeists gear, there is a limit of 60 lbs to be in the canoe when using a cart. This is to prevent wear and tear on the pathways and to keep them from rutting and potholing. The rest is to be packed. I must admit I didn't see many canoeists actually carrying a pack, mostly left all their gear in the boats! THey don't weigh kayakers gear as I suppose they figure the limited space keeps the weight down!
If they let in 50 people/day, how do people 'get spread out' - if you paddle faster than average, aren't you running into slower parties & folks taking a 'storm day' in camp? - in theory 50 people is a max of 25 canoes but you see single kayaks and canoes with 3 etc. so it may range from 20 -30 boats.The larger groups must use the group campsites and they are regulated as to the timing- must camp at a group site on a specific night. This sucks up bodies and keeps the other sites free for the smaller parties. I did the circuit in 5 nights but many take 8-10 days and if a site is full you move on to the next although I suspect that folks spend a night on sites with more tents than pads from time to time. The couple who landed on my one pad site late at night in bad weather slept on the bit of beach at the site. The busy day on a site I experienced was after a couple of wet days and there were folks camped on the group site. I suspect there is some racing for sites from time to time in the busiest times but ..... I was the only solo traveler that I saw on my trip and most folks were quite surprised that I was alone! You can expect to share the campsites with someone every night.
Thanks for those details.
It looks like lovely country.
Here's the parks pre-trip information brochure-
http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explor ... 0356554262
The Bowron's is one of my favourite trips. We (my son and daughter and I) did the circuit in 2006 (wow, ten years have passed already!). Looking at your photos brought back many good memories -- thanks for posting.
Dan, thank you for sharing the report. Such details elevate it to the "I could do that" category of trips.
In the first photo of your hammock, the trap looked HUGE - looked like you had over a meter, nearly two, coverage at least on one end of the hammock. Was it a Kelty 16?
Nice report. Always nice to see pics of the Bowron. I probably mentioned it here before but i lived and worked on the Bowron in 73. I was one of the crew who looked after things, built corduroy trails etc. Great experience for 22 yr old young guy. Spent about half my time on Issac . Thanks
If you're addressing me, it's not my report (unless Canoedog's name Dan as well?).
Dan, you are correct, I confused your name on Last Post with the Thread Originator.
CanoeDog, what tarp were you using for your hammock?
Thank you,
Hi Paul,
That's the MEC Sil-nylon Guide tarp (10x12) The hammock is from the Little Shop of Hammocks, http://www.littleshopofhammocks.com/ and is the Warrior model. There's maybe 2 feet overhang on either end, must be the perspective on that photo.

I love getting to know new people. It is especially fun when these people are in love and getting married! There are lots of giggles, smiles, and stories.
Hearing the story of how the future bride and groom met is often a highlight of our time together. Matt and Chelsea met while in Chico--but things didn't really begin until they were reconnected down the road. That is always fun to hear--How their paths crossed once again.
Enjoy these photos of our time together. I wish I could share them all--we went all around Chico. Matt and Chelsea have plenty of places in this town that are near and dear to them. Fun!
Both Chelsea and Matt graduated from Chico State and now live in the Bay Area.
We had to take a photo in front the place where their paths crossed for the second time. They rocked some awesome wigs for this location!
This next shot is one of many jumping photos. Can you tell they are a fun couple??
Matt is a runner and this location in Bidwell Park is sentimental to him.
Chelsea and Matt also golf together. Yeah, I know what you are thinking--what fun thing don't they do?!
Matt designed Chelsea's Engagement ring. It is just beautiful.
Thank you to this sweet couple for letting us be a part of this fun time in your lives! You are beautiful people and truly work great together.
Thanks for following!

Kitchen Gardens in Bo Kone
December 8, 2008
Bo Kone, Myanmar — Life here in Bo Kone, a village of about 1,000 people, has never been easy. Located on an isolated island in the Irrawaddy Delta, it's about an hour's boat ride to the nearest town.
And then Cyclone Nargis tore through the village, killing about a quarter of its inhabitants and submerging in salt water its acres of rice fields.
"When the wind and rain finally stopped, I saw that my house and my farmland were destroyed," said Athey, a 40-year-old mother of four who goes by one name. "Luckily my family was all alive, but I had no idea how we would live."
When Mercy Corps arrived in Bo Kone, we saw that Athey and her neighbors were deeply vulnerable: their farms had provided their food and their income, and now that was all gone.
But there was even more to it.
"People were already malnourished," says Hadi Akther, a local agronomist running a Mercy Corps-funded food security and livelihoods recovery program in the Delta. "We wanted to find a way not just to restore the rice farms they depended on, but to enable people to diversify their diets and eat more nutritious meals."
Before the cyclone, people had to go all the way to the city of Laputta — about an hour away by boat — to get vegetables. The added hassle and expense meant few did it.
With that challenge in mind, Mercy Corps and its partner Merlin have helped Athey's and 300 other families in Bo Kone establish "kitchen gardens" — small growing plots that will help satisfy household food needs — by providing seeds, gardening tools and technical training.
"When I heard about this opportunity I knew I wanted to participate. I knew how to farm but it was good to have these new seeds and tools," Athey says. "I was confident I would succeed and I knew this would help my kids."
Akther, the agronomist, says the program emphasizes crops like green beans, pumpkin, watercress and rosehips, but allows participants to grow whatever they choose.
In Athey's case, she found a strong local demand for a certain type of greens, and that's where she's made her investment.
"I am making good money selling these greens and that allows me to buy other things we need for the house," she says.
And it doesn't stop there. As Myanmar moves into its "winter" — when the average temperature is 80 degrees instead of 90 — Mercy Corps is ramping up a winter vegetable program that equips these households to grow a whole new set of crops.
"I am really excited for this new program — I know exactly how I am going to expand my garden," Athey says with a smile, pointing to an unused corner of her yard.
More than 2,000 households throughout the Delta — comprising about 10,000 people — are currently participating in the program, which Mercy Corps hopes to expand in the coming months.

Who Cut the Knees out of Grandpa's B.V.D.'s?
As our adventure opens, Roy Rogers is a young boy in love. He and his little brother Tim live on a ranch in Death Valley with their father, and young Roy is sitting in the woods nearby with a little girl from the ranch next door. Roy and Ann promise to marry each other when they grow up, and their whole world is peaceful and happy, as every youngster's world should be.
Unfortunately, while Roy and Ann are having fun in the woods, death is on the way to Roy's ranch. The evil businessman Tasker will kill Roy's father, while Roy's little brother Tim watches. Tasker and his henchman grab little Tim Rogers and ride away, knowing that now there will be no witnesses to the murder. But young Roy comes around the corner of the ranch house and watches the outlaws carry his young brother away.
Next, we are fifteen years later, and a fresh young man gets off the train, and the young stranger has just purchased the Circle R ranch, where Roy and his brother Tim used to live. Of course, the young man is Roy Rogers, now grown up and returning to the place where his father was killed, and he is determined to bring the crooked businessman Tasker to justice, either dead or alive. Pop a big bowl of white kernel popcorn with plenty of warm melted butter drizzled over it and enjoy the show.

Apply Now Schedule a Visit Request Information
I think the phrase "theater kid" brings to mind a very particular personality for most of us. Maybe that character in your head is loud, flamboyant, & boisterous & adds a sprinkle of drama to every aspect of life. Maybe that personality is more laid back, but comes to life in big ways on stage. Regardless, that idea of a "theater kid" is a pretty basic stereotype perpetuated in chick flicks, rom coms & the like. But what about here at Mississippi College? What about the people in the plays around here?
One such person is Gabrielle Hyde. A junior pursuing a degree in Elementary Education, Gabrielle doesn't quite fit in to any sort of theater "box." She's involved in Neenamoosha Social Tribe & also works as a lifeguard at the Healthplex. "Involved" is also a good word to describe James Gibson, a sophomore Electrical Engineering major, member of Shawreth Men's Club, & Swannanoa Social Tribe Beau. Odds are he doesn't fit into your typical theater stereotype either. But that's the beauty of people in general: they never match up to any singular stereotype & "theater kids" aren't any different. I got to sit down with Gabrielle & James while they shared with me a whole bunch of insight into what it means to do theater here at MC.
Without further ado, may I present to you... "The Life of a Theater Kid!"
There is a lot to be gained from being involved in a production on campus. According to Gabrielle, you get to meet new people that you wouldn't ordinarily know. Theater attracts people of every shape & size & you spend so much time with them that through rehearsal after rehearsal, you become a family, regardless of any differences. Going to practice isn't a chore in the least then when you just want to be there with people you love. For James, this aspect of theater broadens your horizons. Interacting with people who believe differently than you, who make different life decisions that you, gives you a better outlook on life.
There are tons of other things to love about acting in plays within the theater department. James has participated in drama for most of his life & getting to continue it in college is everything to him. The opportunity to pursue a passion is incredible. Theater puts the pressure on individuals which a lot of actors enjoy. While there is certainly a team element in every production—obviously every cast member has to work together—every line you have is on you to memorize & deliver. There's a lot of self-reliance & you're responsible for you.
Gabrielle most loves how theater lets you express such a wide range of emotions, particularly those that would not be wise to unleash in any other public setting. It makes acting so much fun to get to step into character & feel those things. Plus, in expressing those raw emotions on stage, other people can empathize & you bring the whole audience into what your character is feeling.
Theater also teaches valuable lessons & grows its participants in huge ways. Gabrielle discussed how acting has taught her to live her life as though she's always on stage. You have the chance to show the love of Christ day in & day out to everyone around you, & people pay attention to your life whether you want them to or not. It's an encouragement to know that putting Jesus at center stage gives him the glory & other people can see that clearly.
According to James, theater instills a sense of confidence. Even if you're introverted or think you aren't very good at talking to a lot of people, you can own the stage. You can step out & perform without a thought of your own insecurities. Getting a role means that someone believes in you & you can learn about yourself from performing it.
Like any other commitment on campus, participating in theater takes up time & it's crucial you know how to manage it. Gabrielle advises having a calendar (or even two or three) to keep track of all your practices, meetings, & events for everything in which you're involved. James says that it takes waking up each morning & going over a checklist for the day to help him balance his time. Saying no to some things is perfectly appropriate because you can't do everything you're offered to do. You get to pick & that's what makes it fun.
In short, theater is a blast. Let no one tell you otherwise, despite the work it takes. It's always worth it in the end.
Also today is the premiere of A Midsummer Night's Dream, a witty & hilarious Shakespeare play. From someone who played a fairy with about five lines in the same production back in junior high, I can promise you this show will be worth your while. Make sure to find a chance to go see it this weekend with some friends! I'll see you there!

Read our article in the Cayman Financial Review Magazine, eversion
They are aged between 18 and 30 years old, they're smart-talking, technologically savvy, independent and impatient, high performers; yet high maintenance. They are well-educated, entertained and protected, receiving trophies for participation so that "no one's feelings get hurt".
They grew up in a world of global terrorist attacks, the AIDS epidemic, school and university shootings, devastating hurricanes, tsunamis and earthquakes, in a world of Two Minute Noodles and "The One-Minute Manager". Their adage? Life is short" and, after seeing their baby boomer parents make sacrifices for financial gain and job status, they are less concerned about job longevity and more about self-fulfilment and immediate rewards such as work-life balance, flexible hours, telecommuting and time off for travel.
In today's workforce four generations work side-by-side: the Silent Generation, baby boomers, Generation X and Generation Y. Each generation has different attitudes and expectations regarding their jobs and careers. "As the workforce continues to shift, it has become increasingly important to focus on the friction between generations," says Janet Mackey, Ernst & Young's lead people consultant for Bermuda, Bahamas, BVI and Cayman.
"Based on an Ernst & Young Generation Research Project that surveyed all three generations – Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y, we found the most significant sources of conflict between generations lie around flexibility, the use of technology in communication, sense of entitlement and work ethic. With views spreading from one end of the spectrum to the other, employers will need to find new and creative ways to address these issues. The focus not only has to be on the current workforce, but also on how to address generational issues as employers recruit in the marketplace."
The generation that entered the workforce in the past decade, Generation Y, exhibits certain distinctive characteristics when compared to their older counterparts. Generation Y (also known as Millennials, Echo Boomers and the Facebook Generation) is an accurate depiction of the age in which they have grown up, a time of shifting demographics, corporate distrust and values shaped by heavy parental involvement.
They were raised with the expectation that they can achieve anything they put their minds to and were constantly reminded of the value of team-work over competition. Furthermore, Generation Y has technology rooted into the core of its DNA; making extensive use of the internet, social networking, blogging, mobile phones and texting. This has created a dynamic of "cyber communities" and instant relationships, making them a generation of "multi-taskers".
Each generation brings a unique set of attitudes to the workplace and they do not often fit the expectations of today's leaders. Generation Y have been portrayed as being over-protected, disrespectful, narcissistic and entitled. Criticism of previous generations is nothing new and dates back to Socrates of Ancient Greece, who once commented, "the children now love luxury, they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise".
Though one would think there would be some form of compassion for the younger members of Generation Y, many with Masters degrees, who are leaving university only to end up on their parents' couches, in a society battered by record-high unemployment and a sluggish economy. The younger Generation Y's, aged under 25, who are now entering the workforce, are experiencing more challenges than those aged 25 and over.
The unemployment rate for 16-24 year olds in America is an astounding 17.6 per cent (US Bureau of Labour Statistics June 2011), a substantial increase over the generation unemployment rate of 9.2 per cent for the year. Further, when the job market does finally recover, these younger members of Generation Y will be competing against the ageing baby boomers (born 1946-1964) as well as the Generation X workforce (born 1965-1980), who have both equally been affected by the recession, but have the benefit of experience on their side.
In addition to the concerns about having skilled employees available for jobs once the economy strengthens, there is also is a complicated numbers game involving talent and the generation. The baby boomers and Generation Y are large generations, but tucked in the middle of them is the smaller Generation X. While there are plenty of Generation Y workers to take over from baby boomers once they move on, they cannot always leapfrog over Generation X because they generationally do not have the needed skills and experience to do the work.
It's unlikely that a 29-year-old is going to take over the job of a 60-year-old baby boomer, so the business world will be looking to Generation X to fill the void left by the baby boomers. The problem being, for every ten boomers there are only nine Generation X workers, so there could be a talent shortage and consequently, insufficient workers with the necessary experience to move into open positions in the years ahead.
Despite the current job climate, Generation Y will inevitably take its place in the workforce and it is therefore imperative that employers understand Generation Y's priorities, work-style and ways and means of attracting the best of this workforce. In order for companies to fully benefit from the skills and perspectives of the new workforce, they need to incorporate a Generation Y outlook into their cultures, organisation and management styles.
"A critical challenge facing most employers is how to develop the Generation Y workforce and keep them engaged," says Phil Jackson, past president of the Cayman Islands Society for Human Resource Professionals.
"The majority of Generation Y don't feel that they owe their employers loyalty nor do they expect, or want to be with the same employer for their entire career. However, employers who do a good job of providing developmental opportunities and increased responsibilities will be better positioned to attract and retain Generation Y with the most potential."
That said, major multinational corporations are soliciting the help of consultants to attract the best talent this generation has to offer and to implement effective strategies to manage and develop that talent over time. PricewaterhouseCoopers is one such organisation and Human Capital Director Jaslyne Bridges notes that, "PwC is currently conducting an on-line survey Millennials at Work, found on their careers pages with the goal of the survey seeking to measure the views of the generation about to enter the workforce."
Five tips for managing Generation Y employees:
- Work/Life balance: Unlike their boomer parents who placed priority on their careers, Generation Y are more interested in making their jobs accommodate their family and personal lives. Keep employees engaged by implementing policies that reflect Generation Y's need for connection to the world outside of work, such as flexible work schedules and telecommuting.
- Continuous learning & development: Generation Y are typically well-educated and, having a higher percentage of university degrees than any generation before them, they understand the need to be continuous learners, in both their professional and personal lives. They are well-trained and have come to expect constant learning, new challenges and a steady diet of meaningful input in their daily work-lives.
- Encourage technology: Companies need to allow Generation Y to leverage their technological skills. "Go to this group for innovative and forward thinking ideas!" says Kim Wallace-Watler, senior manager of HR Services with DART Enterprises, "they have a pulse on 'all things new' in technology and are very creative in navigating around the latest technology tools and are great researchers. They may very well be the ones who come up with the most efficient ways of re-engineering work processes in the most creative way."
- Constant feedback: Due to the role of technology in their lives, Generation Y prefers to receive frequent feedback. Unlike the past where people received annual reviews, Generation Y needs to know how they're doing much more regularly; they have grown up with constant feedback and recognition and therefore require ongoing evaluation. Managers might even consider a short, weekly catch-up session with them to provide input regarding their performance.
- Mentorship: Mentoring is even more important in today's workplace than it was when boomers were beginning their careers. Things change so fast, not only in process and technology but also in the competitive landscapes that we now work in and therefore a steady flow of professional guidance is critical. Give your Generation Y employees mentors who can help them make sense of the corporate culture, business decision-making, and the rest of the, often peculiar, business world.
"Businesses sometimes discover that their managers aren't really able to understand and accept the behaviours of the Generation Y populace," says Kim Wallace-Watler. "So working with your management team to educate them of how this group of employees think, their work styles and preferences, what they see as valuable, and then designing strategies for their productivity and work engagement, will go a long way to your business and employee success."
In the current economy employers are enjoying a buyer's market for talent, as there are simply more people than there are jobs. But this recession will end eventually and several factors will turn the tables on staffing strategies.
Companies will need more employees as they grow to pre-recession size and beyond, the boomers will be retiring in hordes, and the Generation X population will, most likely, be insufficient to replace them, leaving employers in a war for talent.
Generation Y, the youngest generation in the workplace, will therefore be pivotal to future success for growing companies; they offer the next huge opportunity and perhaps, the next considerable challenge for managers and business leaders in the new economy.
Companies, poised for post-recession success, must adapt their attraction and retention strategies and management techniques, to accommodate Generation Ys, in order to allow them to flourish and engage in the workplace. Strategies including work/life balance, more meaningful engagement with management, career opportunities, responsibility and recognition of good work, are essential to manage this generation.

Quality. It's a word you hear a lot around DEDON. In fact, it's kind of an obsession for us. We think about it about it constantly. The quality of our designs, of our fiber, of our weaving, of our service, of our lives — in everything we do, we want our quality to be the best.
In the fiber production center at our Lüneburg headquarters in Germany, the machines' computer-calibrated dosage system measures out ingredients down to the microgram, ensuring a consistency that verges on perfection. Not a strand of fiber leaves the facility without meeting our exacting standards of strength, weather ability, color correctness, consistency and more. There are machines to simulate decades of exposure to sunlight, harsh weather and saltwater, and test the effects — or rather, the lack thereof — caused by wine spills and sunscreen.
Weatherproof, temperature resistant, toxic free, UV stable, fully recyclable, sustainable and exceptional in both look and feel, DEDON Fiber has revolutionized the world of outdoor furniture. But that doesn't mean it can't be improved upon. Inside the research lab, a team of specialists is continually testing new variations on our proprietary formula — 20 years old this year — in search of new color ways, new textures and new consistencies, not to mention greater strength, resilience and durability.
A walk through the DEDON factory reveals a clockwork-like approach to manufacturing in which every aspect of production is painstaking executed, supervised, checked and documented. If the smallest detail fails to meet our standards, that piece goes back to production. Every piece of DEDON furniture is made by hand, of course, so there will always be differences. Each piece is unique, but if even the smallest detail fails to meet our standards, that piece goes back to production until it satisfies each of our demands of quality.
DOMO™ Collections are the exclusive distributors for New Zealand and the Pacific Islands of the renowned DEDON® indoor outdoor range of furniture.
Dedon® carries a five year unconditional guarantee. Each piece is stamped with the QA Passed sticker i.e. Quality Assured safety standards for the European market which includes fire requirements.

Basaglar Now Available
December 15, 2016 - Lilly and Boehringer Ingelheim's Basaglar® (insulin glargine), the first follow-on to Sanofi's Lantus® (insulin glargine) was launched in the U.S. It is a long-acting insulin indicated to improve glycemic control for adult and pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes, and for adults with type 2 diabetes. It is supplied in cartons of five KwikPen® devices that each contain 3mL of U-100 (100 units per mL) of Basaglar. Recommended dosing is individualized according to the patient's blood glucose levels. Basaglar is given as one subcutaneous injection daily at about the same time of day.
Basaglar is not a biosimilar or generic to Lantus. It is a brand product and will compete with the other brand long-acting insulins for market share. These products include Lantus, Levemir® (insulin detemir – Novo Nordisk), Tresiba® (insulin degludec – Novo Nordisk) and Toujeo® (insulin glargine – Sanofi). Merck/Samsung Bioepis has a follow-on insulin glargine (MK-1293) currently under FDA review for which approval is anticipated during the 2nd Quarter of 2017. Additional competition within the long-acting insulin market should help alleviate some of the price increases common to this category.

The Center for Spiritual Capital and Loyola College of Business Host Deans Colloquium
In addition to the Super Bowl and Mardi Gras taking place in New Orleans in the month of February, the Center for Spiritual Capital and CoB hosted its own milestone event—the ABIS-Loyola Deans' Colloquium 2013. The conference, titled "Aligning Institutional (Faith-Based) Values/Strategy with Management Education Frameworks in the 21st Century," was a three-day invitation-only event, hosted in conjunction with the Academy of Business in Society (ABIS), and held at the Hilton Hotel Riverside, February 28 – March 2.
The purpose of the conference was to bring together 20 – 30 deans and a few others to discuss aligning faith-based business school programs both in the U.S. and in Europe. Designed to encourage the exploration of ideas through informal, yet serious, discussion, the focus of the conference was on five major issues faced by faith-based business school programs: global trends, emerging models, strategy, organizational capabilities, and capacity building.
The essence and success of the conference according to Nicholas Capaldi, Ph.D., Legendre-Soulé Distinguished Chair in Business Ethics, professor of management, and director of the Center for Spiritual Capital, lay in civil discourse cultivated in an atmosphere of learned fellowship shared among colleagues. Accordingly, each conference participant was alerted beforehand that he or she was expected to attend all sessions, receptions, and group meals.
CoB Dean William Locander, Ph.D., says that "the attendees hold significant positions in their universities so that they will be heard on the topic of aligning faith-based values with their business programs on their campuses. The conference was the first of its kind, and we at Loyola University New Orleans hope to keep the dialogue on this important topic alive at future conferences."

The White House pressroom has released the following statement last night to MHProNews readers.
It should be noted that the latest information this morning indicates that Florence may be weakening. But even if the storm stalls, it could result in tremendous rainfalls, that can lead to flooding and other life-threatening safety issues.
That said, as President Trump and local officials have urged, readers in the path of the events should take every precaution.
What follows is the White House official video and photo. After the White House statement and video, there will be some related story links, further below.
This week, three major storms threaten American communities across an area spanning nearly 5,000 miles: Hurricane Florence (the Southeastern coast), Tropical Storm Olivia (Hawaii), and Tropical Storm Isaac (the Caribbean).
Hurricane Florence in particular poses a catastrophic threat to millions living in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia. The storm is expected to produce total rainfall of 20 to 30 inches, with isolated amounts up to 40 inches. "These numbers are hard to comprehend, but based on past experience, this amount of rain produces life-threatening, catastrophic flooding," the National Weather Service tweeted.
President Donald J. Trump met with Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, FEMA Administrator Brock Long, and other senior officials yesterday in the Oval Office to discuss preparations. "Hurricane Florence is setting out to be a devastating event," Administrator Long said, comparing its potential to Hurricane Hugo in 1989.
The Administration is focused on helping state leaders and the general public alike before, during, and after the storm makes landfall. "We're supporting the governors with achieving their life safety evacuation and movements," Administrator Long said. "We're focused on mass care and sheltering. And then we'll be focused on helping them to execute their response and recovery goals."
Earlier this week, President Trump approved emergency declarations for SouthCarolina, North Carolina, and Virginia. "I've spoken with the governors," President Trump said yesterday. "They're prepared. We're prepared."
To all Americans in the path of these storms: Be safe, be ready, and follow the advice of local officials.
For more information and resources, please visit www.ready.gov.
Hundreds of thousands of housing units are threatened areas. If a devastating event does occur, demand for manufactured homes will likely surge. FEMA related information is found in the related reports, linked further below.
MHProNews' prayers and best wishes are with all of those in the areas that are threatened. ## (News, analysis, and commentary.)

A good Monday to you! We had a pretty uneventful weekend which is so nice sometimes. The weather finally was gorgeous and we took full advantage.
Saturday was our nephew's birthday party and it was hosted at a local park. We had lots of fun visiting with our family and swinging. The playground was geared towards bigger kids, so Miss H was limited on her play options. She still insists on walking up slides.
Sunday we stayed in, hubs grilled up some Coca-Cola Ribs (so good) as I prepare to go Sugar Free and Gluten free for the next 21 days. One of the biggest things with PCOS is diet and eliminating those can really help in a positive way. I have one heck of a sweet tooth, especially after going back on all my PCOS meds 3 weeks ago – all I want to eat is sweets!
I made our meal plan for the week, and we don't have anything that will throw us off base unless hubs has to go out of town for a quick trip which is possible.
I'm also excited because this weekend I finally found a pair of jeans that I found semi suitable. I bought 2 pairs of Old Navy Pixie Jeans right after H was born and I've lived in them ever since. Depends on my top, they look like Mom Jeans. Insert gagging noises here. So I opted for a ripped up pair of Boyfriend Jeans. They are pretty cute – Jeff thinks it's silly to pay for holes in your jeans. I paired them with a Boden tee for the party and flip flops and I'm sure people questioned where my dress was as I wear them 90% of the time!

I am Diana, I am a 27 years old girl who loves to travel. Probably more than half of my bucket-list is related with travelling! So far I had the chance to visit 30 countries, most of them in Europe once I am Portuguese and I am currently living in Poland.
Why to Travel?
I strongly believe that travel is a great way to feel that you are alive! It is the best way to "reset" your brain after a couple of months of hard work! Moreover travelling will enrich yourself more than you can think. Once you will start you won't be able to stop.
Why did I create this Blog?
A few years ago I started to help friends planning their trips, finding the best deals, recommending some nice places, etc. This is one of the reasons I decided to create a blog – to share all the experiences and tips that can be useful to other travellers. I hope it will help you too :).
…Enjoy your journey!
