I used to think the shoe cabinet was a ridiculous object. That's what closets are for!
Then we moved into our new space. Now I feel like my life has been improved tenfold. Putting it together was a pain, but that's on par for Ikea.
I'm still on the lookout for a high-traffic rug and possibly a different blanket for the bench. I'll post photos of the new living room rug so you can get a better sense of the colors. I'm thinking I should stick with white furniture whenever possible since I'm not re-painting the walls.
Here's the entryway in its previous disheveled state while we were moving things around this past summer.

Carobou; our English-style Barleywine brewed with Carob is back- in a big way!
This beer was first brewed four years ago for sharing with friends, family, and fellow homebrewers over the holiday season. That first batch was in back in 2011, and it was my entry into the SOB advent calendar. Check out this awesome photo of that brew by Patrick Hirlehey, another participant in that calendar:
The idea of a homebrew club advent calendar is simple- and brilliant: somewhere between 12 (days of Christmas), 24 (bottles in a case) or 31 (days in December) homebrewers sign up to brew and bottle an advent batch of beer. They bottle enough for every participant, and sometime in advance of December they get together to do a swap! Everybody gets one bottle from each brewer and keeps one of their own bottles to create a complete set. Each bottle is assigned a day, and everybody goes though them together: each participant gets to enjoy a super-unique advent calendar of beer! They also get to share feedback and thoughts with each other as a group, as the days progress towards Christmas. Carobou was my entry into the 2011 SOB advent calendar, and it also took first place in that years All About Ales Comp in Spice/Herb/Vegetable beers!
In 2012 I re-brewed it to be served at Black Oak's annual Holiday Party. I made it at Black Oak on a little homebrew system as part of their "Rubber Boot Camp" series of how-to brewing sessions, open to the public. At that time I wrote:
"I think that many brewers instincts would be to pair the Carob with Chocolate malts, but I think that would be a disservice to the Carob. It would cover the Carob up, dominate it, and place it in a flavour competition it simply cannot win. Carob, if you are not aware, is a lovely but much maligned spice. I think because it is often presented as a Chocolate Substitute. Carob may have a character that is somewhat reminiscent of chocolate, but it is no substitute. Nothing is! Carob has its own thing going on anyway, it's different. It's interesting! It's good. Don't ruin it by forcing me to think of it as a cruel and crude approximation of Chocolate. ANYWAY, this big beer is made with 100% Canadian 2-Row barley- which allows the subtle Carob character and colour to come through."
I pretty much stand by that, or at least the most important part: Carob is not Chocolate. And I think that the idea that "Carob is a good chocolate substitute" is ruining Carob. It's so unfair. Carob has a lot to offer, but it's always being put into situations where its only job is to be JUST LIKE CHOCOLATE. Situations where it inevitably falls short, and then gets told that it's crummy. It's as if Albert Einstein had a big brother who was great at hockey, Wayne Einstein, and whenever Wayne was too expensive to use or whatever, well-meaning hippies were like: "Try Albert, he's just as good!" and poor Albert just gets thrown in and then told how crummy he is at being Wayne... All. The. Time. People completely miss out on what is amazing and brilliant about Albert because they can only conceive of him as a lousy Wayne impersonator.
There simply is no substitute for Chocolate. But the same could be said of Carob, yes?
The result: everyone seems to hate Carob, when really, all they hate is how poorly Carob mimics Chocolate. (For one, Carob has none of the mood-altering mojo of Chocolate)
But Carob, when taken on its own merit, can be understood as a very interesting and unique ingredient, one certainly not worthy of universal derision.
And that is how we try to use it here- Carob for Carob's sake. We use only pale malts, to let the Carob shine. The grist bill is entirely pale 2-row barley, except for a small addition of malted Spelt, which is an ancient grain in the wheat family that I find adds a mild, nutty earthiness, as well as enhances the mouthfeel.
All of the malt created a massive mash. We REALLY hit the maximum amount here, I think.
But, we made a mistake (again): we had left the valve running to the kettle OPEN during the mash in. By the time we had crammed all of that malt into the mash tun, we had something like 200 liters already run off into the kettle! (How embarrassing!) We left that volume of wort in the kettle during the mash, where it could be kept warm, then ran it off into buckets and returned it to the mash tun as our first volume of sparging liquid. In this way, we we didn't lose any of that sweet, sweet sugar.
We added the Carob as a powder, right into the kettle, before the beginning of the boil. We used 10 kilograms of Carob for this 400 liter batch, so our addition was 25 grams of Carob per liter! That is what we brewers call a "non-trivial addition", my friends.
With the beer ready, it was time to revisit the old design- which featured a Carob pod hanging unattractively above two (hopefully, public domain) images of a beer and a Caribou:
Once again, we started designing a relief print. The first attempt went pretty well, with the exception of the antlers, which clearly gave me some trouble. You know when you're painting text on poster, but you misjudge the space, and by the end you're really squeezing those last few letters in? That's how I felt about these antlers on my first attempt:
My old art teachers would have been happy about how I really "used the canvas" on this design, filling all of the available space and creating some interesting negative spaces. But after all of that fuss on those majestic antlers, they had to be cut from the final image!
We kegged the beer only a few days ago, ending up with 360 liters- or a dozen thirty liter kegs.
We've already brought one of those kegs to Project Brew, the mini beer festival staged by the most recent graduating class from the Brewmaster program at Niagara College (This particular group was special to me, as I had them as students! Congrats, Cheers, and Good Luck everyone!) and the beer was quite well received there!
We plan to put aside at least one more keg for cellaring, which leaves us with only about 10 kegs to share with our friends. Look for them to go on tap shortly!
This new 2015 Carobou is young (rather young indeed, for a barleywine) but it isn't hot; it is remarkably refined for its age, with a powerful, wonderful aroma of dried, dark (bordering on tropical) fruits, and a decadent body as well as a rich flavour, marked by an sweetly earthy, spicy character. The Carob's chocolaty notes are more woodsy than what you might expect from Cacao nibs, more like chocolate covered truffles than milk chocolate. The Carob character is complementary with the base style, enhancing and rounding out the luscious maltiness and boozy, brandy-like complexity you would expect in a big barleywine. It's a rather different- but very special brew. We hope you like it as much as we do around our home. Happy Holidays!
Cheers! Here's to 2016,
-The Garden Brewers

Fixed earnings investments typically spend a return on a fixed schedule, though the amount of the payments can differ. But if an investor buys the bond for £125, its coupon is nonetheless ten% (or £10) and the investor receives £10 but as the investor purchased the bond for £125 (not £100) the yield on the investment is 8%. If interest prices drop to 4%, the bond will continue paying out at five%, generating it a a lot more eye-catching choice. Keep in mind, although, as with all investments the value of your initial investment can go down as properly as up, and – based on the sort of bond you select – the final payout may possibly be less than what you initially paid in. So, investing in person Malaysian corporate bonds may also be out for me. My rugged individualism won't permit me to invest in a bond unit trust fund. When these rates are at peak the interest price are raised, which suddenly kills demand, which leaves individuals high and dry. You can also invest in bonds by way of mutual funds or Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), which are basically collections of bonds of diverse maturities.
Monetary folks would say that at 8% interest prices, an investment with a present value" of $100 has a future value" at two years of $117. You can acquire and sell bonds on the marketplace at any point for the duration of their life – the cost will rely on the coupon, its connection to interest prices at that point in time, how extended it is until the bond matures and the perceived financial strength of the issuer.
A series of the company's bonds may well also be secured by specific assets, so there will be less assets to spend off the other bonds in the event of liquidation. You can sell it at will on the bond industry, or buy more bonds at industry value if you wish. Singapore Savings Bonds are a specific type of Government bonds that supply person investors with a safe and versatile lengthy-term savings alternative. Now picture an earnings fund invested in a portfolio of bonds related to ABC bonds. Floating interest bonds match the interest price on 3-month T-bills They pay interest quarterly.
But holders of Singapore Savings Bonds are said to not be exposed to cost danger if they redeem the bonds early. Beyond diversification, investing in bonds can help with other targets as well, such as producing income. Unless you are genuinely excellent at analyzing bonds, it is far better to wait for a crisis when you can locate several bonds that are mispriced relative to their dangers as a result of marketplace panic. The common term for the price of earnings from an investment expressed as an annual percentage and primarily based on its present market place value. While it does not always function out in genuine life, the concept is that on typical the good bonds will produce adequate income to much more than offset the losses on the negative bonds. Gilts, bonds, gilt, bond, gilts and bonds, gilts & bonds UK Gilts and bonds from Barclays Stockbrokers can earn you a predictable return at a low danger compared to shares.
You can make money on a bond from interest payments and by selling it for far more than you paid. Only the European central bank's intervention in the market place lowered the yield on the Greek 2 year bonds. A company can go bankrupt any time so do take note of this threat when investing in corporate bonds. Is the only completely interactive municipal bond brokerage firm on the in a bond fund – to an IRA, exactly where he can get individual muni bonds.

Colin Barnett has blown a $50 million-plus hole in Tony Abbott's "signature" paid parental leave policy amid warnings the coalition's hugely expensive scheme would unintentionally leave retirees worse off.
The Opposition Leader's leave scheme will be 70 per cent funded through a 1.5 per cent "levy" on Australia's 3200 biggest businesses and give a mother six months full wage, with a maximum benefit of $75,000.
The Premier yesterday openly questioned the generosity of the scheme and ruled out WA helping to fund it.
"I think in many respects it probably is too generous," Mr Barnett said.
"If Tony Abbott becomes prime minister and that scheme is introduced, we will co-operate in terms of the administration but we will not be contributing money to the scheme."
The coalition plans to offset some of the $5.5 billion annual cost of the scheme by asking States and Territories to contribute towards their public servants who opt for the Federal scheme.
The West Australian understands that in 2015-16, the first year of the Abbott scheme, this assumed "saving" is believed to be $560 million, with another $107 million from rolling in the existing scheme for Commonwealth public servants.
The coalition was banking on about one-tenth of the $560 million coming from WA coffers.
Institute of Chartered Accountants executive Yasser El-Ansary said though a paid parental leave scheme was needed, Mr Abbott's "gold-plated" proposal was unaffordable.
"The proposed scheme could mean bad news for retirees who rely on access to franking credits as a key part of their superannuation pension income," he said.
"When companies pay less tax, it reduces the amount of imputation credits that they can attach to dividends, and that means that retirees might end up shouldering some of the cost of putting this gold-plated paid parental leave scheme in place."
The WA Chamber of Commerce and Industry urged the Opposition to back the Government's existing scheme.
Chief economist John Nicolaou said though the concept was admirable, it was too expensive, hurt the competitiveness of big internationally exposed firms with no proof that it would boost female workforce participation or overall productivity.
Nationals MPs remain furious about Mr Abbott's PPL scheme, with one predicting "hand grenades" would be thrown in the first joint party room after the Federal election because of stay-at-home mums missing out while "metropolitan mums" would get $75,000.

The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health: Contemporary Literature Overview
Publication Date
This article reviews the literature from the 3 years since the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health's (ICF's) endorsement, focusing on those articles that discuss (a) what the ICF means and how it can be used; (b) the general utility of the ICF for specific fields, such as nursing, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, and audiology; (c) examples of applications for classification in particular disorders, such as chronic health conditions, neuromusculoskeletal conditions, cognitive disorders, mental disorders, sensory disorders, and primary and secondary conditions in children; (d) uses of the ICF to recode prior work across multiple surveys and across country coding schemes on disability-related national survey items; and (e) governmental uses of the ICF in the United States and selected countries abroad. Future directions needed to effectively implement the ICF across rehabilitation policy, research, and practice are discussed. Our review suggests that the actual application of the ICF is as yet somewhat limited because the World Health Organization (WHO) endorsement is so recent; the earliest references using the ICF correspond with the WHO's 2001 endorsement. Standardized application of the ICF in North America has yet to be realized in anticipation of the release of the clinical implementation manual (see Reed et al., 2005); thus, it is not surprising to find limited research on clinical implementation of the ICF. From our review of the literature and of unpublished reports, it seems clear that the ICF is being used in a preliminary fashion to inform conceptual frameworks in research and for recoding data from other health classifications. Recently completed and ongoing research has undoubtedly not yet been published.

For my card I have added green to the colour combo...I made my cardbase 6x6 from Brown American Crafts cardstock and matted with green Bazzill Basics card and the patterned paper is Scenic Route. I used this cutie Willow's Hot Chicken Soup from the new Get Well Collection and coloured her with my Copics and cut the image out. I cut the scalloped oval from QuicKutz Cork Material. The sentiment is a Melissa Frances rub-on and I added a few Prima flowers, some American Crafts ribbon and a few gems.

A perfect moment for Lauren Hill, terminally ill college hooper
The weekend's most memorable — and emotional — sports moment didn't come from the NFL, NBA or NHL, all lucrative and glamorous professional leagues now underway.
It came in a Division III basketball game during which a freshman named Lauren Hill, who has an inoperable brain tumor, saw her big hoop dream come true.
In high school, Hill committed to play college hoops for Mount St. Joseph University in Cincinnati. Shortly after, she was diagnosed with brain cancer, and just as the school year was getting underway, doctors told Hill she likely only has until December to live.
Still, Hill's one dream was to play in a college basketball game before she died. That dream came true on Sunday.
Mount St. Joseph and opponent Hiram College moved a game previously scheduled for Nov. 15 up to Nov. 2 in order to give Hill a better chance of playing. Then, as Hill's story spread in recent weeks, more and more people began to take notice.
The game was moved to nearby Xavier University, whose 10,000-seat home arena was sold out for Hill's big day. Mount St. Joseph games typically draw about 100 spectators, according to ESPN.
The 10,000 people who came out to support Hill weren't disappointed. Hill scored off a teammate's assist just 17 seconds into the game to register the first points of the college basketball season. Both teams stood and applauded, and the crowd went wild as she was subbed out before the game resumed.
.@_theMount won the tap.
Lauren Hill made the layup.
The place went nuts. #PlayFor22 pic.twitter.com/X87vCsQ9V5
— NCAA (@NCAA) November 2, 2014
"I never thought I would play on a college court, put my feet on the floor and feel the vibration of the crowd," Hill told ESPN after the game, which Mount St. Joseph won 66-55. "This game has been amazing, and everything that happened today was amazing. This is a really good day."
If you want more on Hill's incredible story, the poignant ESPN feature embedded below does it great justice. Just be sure to have a few tissues nearby.
Some of the biggest names in basketball, including LeBron James, have taken note of Hill's story, too.
Hard to imagine a sweeter start to the college basketball season.

In a first, a Sikh man has been hired as an anchor by a news channel in Pakistan.
Harmeet Singh, who is a resident of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province's Chakesar city, has joined the Public News channel.
The official handle of the media house posted a video of Singh on Twitter and captioned, "Pakistan's 1st Sikh News Anchor Harmeet Singh only on #PublicNews."
Recently, Manmeet Kaur had become the first female Sikh reporter in Pakistan.
"I was always interested in the thriving media industry in Pakistan," Singh said.
"I didn't use any religion card to gain access in the media industry. I worked hard and did a lot of work before I got any recognition," he added.
Media veteran Yousaf Baig Mirza, who heads the Public News channel, said Singh was chosen as newscaster due to his flamboyant looks and voice pitch.
Singh completed his masters in journalism from Federal Urdu University Karachi. He started his media carrier as a reporter.
Though the immediate family of Singh is based in Pakistan, his extended family members keep on visiting from India.

In various posts we have been calling for a change within the pharmaceutical industry. Much of that is not new, yet still nothing seems to change on a bigger scale. Sure, the iPad is becoming an essentiell tool in sales, eDetails have emerged, biotech startups are being bought instead of inhouse R&D, but especially with regards to the patent cliff it's time for a new kind of pharmaceutical copmany and we simply don't see that happpening.
Here are five parts of todays pharma business that need to be deserve attention and that need be disrupted entirely. Sure, there are many regulatory aspects that need to overcome, but a startup called help! in New York is showing how things can run entirely differently.
1. Sales – The other way round
We've previously written about Pharma's sales savior. Is it the iPad? Is it the Telerep? Pharma needs a radically new distribution approach and entirely new sales channel. Still, most of its sales goes through reps working closely with doctors. Showing some allegdly nifty and worthwhile graphics and trying to convince the physician of some drug. In times of guidelines and EBM those fancy graphics are not enough anymore. Sales needs to be digitalized and pharma has to become the physician AND patient's partner.
2. Build trust
Especially among patients the pharma industry has a reputation problem. Tons of money going into CSR an branding campaigns do not change the fact that a vast amount of people still questions the ethics of the pharmaceutical industry. In order to create trust it needs to be more authentic, more honest about their scientific research, publish papers that not only proove the effectiveness of its products, but also show problems, obstacles and issues – this, on the long run, creates trust, which in turn will create long term customers – just like in any other business in the world.
3. Enable great design
If you talk to product managers and pharma executives you will hardly find one who has an interst in aesthetics and design. By design I do not only mean fancy packaging but smart ways on how pills are being dispensed. Throughout the last decades we have hardly seen any progress in drug packaging. It's pretty much an un-touched subject. Both in functional and aesthetic terms there is no unique value propostion between drug manufacturers.
4. The modern KOL
The future KOL will be the patient. The mature patient, who makes use of the internet will be the single most important acceptance criterion, for gaining trust on the market. It will be harder to market drugs that are simply not working, just through physician-catered sales strategies. The patient is already and will question clinical research that is sponsored by the industry.
5. Enhanced registration processes
It takes ages and at least $4 billion for a new compound to reach the market. The inclusion of innovative trial designs embracing pharmacogenomics in the licensing process are highly desirable. Data mining and a more in depth analysis of post-launch effect seen by drugs ought to be an integral part of drug research and getting them to the market.
What do you believe will be elements a pharma company 2.0 needs to entail in order to succeed?

Are you planning to install a floor heating kit to improve your home living experience? If so, read the following basic points that you must know before buying one.
Types of underfloor heating
There are two types of underfloor heating systems namely, the warm water system and the electric floor heating system. The former is the conventional type of floor heating in Australia and the rest of the world, especially the western part. This includes burying water pipes (usually 1.6cm in diameter) into the floor screed.
It is said to be the most energy-efficient floor heating system but is only applicable for first-built houses or extensions as this needs an entire flooring to be overhauled when replacing the existing heating system.
The other underfloor heating system is the electric floor heating structure. It is usually made of a mat on which electrical cables are arranged accordingly, and is connected directly to the home's electrical circuit. This makes up the entire floor heating kit.
Types of insulation to choose
For ground floors which are built with a solid base, the floor heating kit in Australia which you have decided to install is usually laid directly on pre-installed polystyrene-type of insulation. This is as required by the government's building regulations.
However, installing an underfloor heating system on upstairs rooms can be a little difficult as this will require a floor design that can perfectly incorporate floor heating system with panels pre-fitted to the floor.
Installing an underfloor heating system
When choosing the best floor heating kit perfect for your home, you need to be mindful of the different factors to consider. The list below states the basic things to think before installing your chosen Australian floor heating kit. Click here for Trade Warehouse
Choose the right installation method
Whether you choose the water or electric underfloor heating system, you need to make sure that that the installation approach used by your installation expert perfectly fit your home's requirement for both the ground floor and the upper rooms. Take time to ask about the advantages of using such method to give you a little knowledge what they are doing.
Select only the most efficient floor heating kit
Make sure that your home is properly insulated to assess whether your chosen floor heating kit is efficient enough to emit heat that will circulate all throughout the room. Also, make sure that you won't be cutting corners that much as that might only give you poor quality floor heating.
Think of alternative energy sources for your floor heating system
When installing an underfloor heating system, it is a good choice to think of an alternative energy source to power up your heating system. You can either make use of the modern and eco-friendly solar panels or custom-made inverters to make power usage efficient and economical.
Buy from only a reputable provider
When looking for the right underfloor heating system, you must find Australian floor heating kit providers who have already been known to have high-quality products which are reasonably priced. Also, make sure that you only buy authentic products from known distributors such as the Trade Warehouse. For more information, visit at https://tradewarehouse.com.au/heating/floor-heating.html

It's no secret I have a sweet tooth. And I have driven far and wide to satisfy my cravings. Last weekend, I decided that I needed to have a bismark. No, I did not drive to a bakery. I decided to create a raw version of a bismark. It was going to be delicious, I just knew it. I used a my vanilla cake base of coconut and almonds. It is always so melt in my mouth delicate, I knew it would be perfect for the bismarks! I filled them with fresh raspberries, and topped them off with some silky coconut vanilla bean frosting.
Would they be just as tasty as the "real", sugary, dessert? Yes! They were amazing...the cake was so delicate and buttery tasting, they smelled of heavenly vanilla and the sweet tart raspberry filling still oozed out. Let's not forget the smooth, creamy frosting, which was the perfect thing to top them, and so good that I licked my fingers clean of it after the bismark was gone. I think if I were to eat a regular old bismark now, I would be rather disappointed as these were so heavenly.
Raw Raspberry Bismarks
Makes 4
For the donut dough:
1 1/2 cups almond meal*
1 1/4 cups dried shredded unsweetened coconut
1/4 tsp sea salt
3 Tbsp agave nectar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup fresh organic raspberries
1 tsp agave nectar
3/4 cup raw cashews, soaked for at least 2 hours and drained
3/4 cup young coconut meat
1/2 cup coconut water
2 Tbsp agave nectar
seeds of one vanilla bean or 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
a pinch of sea salt
1/4 cup coconut oil, warmed to liquid
To make doughnuts, combine the almonds, coconut and sea salt in a food processor and process until finely ground. Add the agave nectar, vanilla and process until holding together. Divide dough into 4 pieces.
Mash together the raspberries and agave nectar until the consistency of jam, for the filling.
Take a piece of the dough, and roll 2/3 of it into a ball. indent the middle with your finger and press it down slightly. Spoon about 1 Tbsp (but do not overfill) of the raspberry mixture into the hole. Take the remaining 1/3 of the dough and flatten it into a circle large enough to cover the raspberry filling. Place over the filling and smooth the sides down carefully as these are delicate. Repeat with remaining 3 dough balls and filling and place in the fridge while you prepare the frosting.
To make the frosting, combine the cashews, coconut, coconut water, agave nectar, vanilla, and sea salt in a food processor and process until smooth. With the motor running, add the coconut oil until well blended.
Pour into a bowl, and refrigerate until the consistency of frosting, about 2 hours (if you put it in the freezer, it will be quicker, like 45 minutes).
Place the frosting in a pastry bag with a large decorative tip, and pipe all over the tops of the bismarks. Serve!
*For the almond meal, soak raw almonds for a couple hours, then peel off the skins and dehydrate until dried. Grind to a meal in the food processor.

The Big Springs Lady Badgers basketball team earned a first place finish at a tournament on the coast this past weekend.
Big Springs Elementary competed on Friday and Saturday at the Crescent City Jaycees 44th Annual 8th Grade Girls Basketball Tournament.
Big Springs was one of 40 participating teams from Oregon and California, which made up five competitive divisions. For the first time ever, Big Springs returned home from Crescent City with the championship trophy after winning the "C Division" bracket. In round one, the Lady Badgers defeated Stanwood A. Murphy of Scotia by a score of 42-23. Sixth grade standout Jacqueline Bridwell led all players with 17 points, as Big Springs won their very first game of the season in dominant fashion. In the second round, Big Springs defeated Fieldbrook 30-22, and advanced to their first-ever final round appearance at Crescent City's historically competitive tournament.
Big Springs jumped out to an early 9-4 lead in the championship game, but tournament powerhouse Hayfork bounced back to take a two-point edge into halftime. Utilizing their depth and fast break offense, the Lady Badgers took advantage of their team speed and worked their way to a comeback victory. Big Springs defeated Hayfork 25-22 in the championship game.
Myra Whipple led all players with 36 points over three games, and was selected as the tournament's "Most Valuable Player" and "Hoop Shoot" awards winner for her division. Jacqueline Bridwell and Kelcie Cervelli joined Whipple on the All-Tourney Team. The Lady Badgers are now 3-0 on the season, and will continue play this weekend as they host their own tournament at Big Springs.

- Make tall, light Southern-style buttermilk biscuits.Make as may as you want at a time.
- Large three pound economy bag.
- Recloseable zipper bag.
- Easy directions.
Put this in your cart, add water, and make perfect biscuit
This mix makes very good biscuits, tastes like the homemade biscuits my mother used to make.
These are the best biscuits! I add some cinnamon chips and a few raisins, then a drizzle of frosting after they are baked. YUMMM. They are also amazing for a breakfast of biscuits and gravy. So easy and so delicious!
|Crystal 10/28/14
Normally my kids won't eat my biscuits. My daughter calls them meteorites. This mix is as easy as the store bought brand, but with this mix, my biscuits turn out how they're supposed to. Light, fluffy, yum.
These are so easy to make! I love that I can bake up as many as I need. I'm single, so I usually don't want to bake a dozen or so biscuits at a time. With this mix, I can mix 1 C of mix plus 1/4 C water, and have 3 good-sized biscuits (the package instructions are really easy -- 4:1 mix to water, and each biscuit = 1/3 C mix -- so 1 C mix + 1/4 C water = 3 biscuits; 2 C mix + 1/2 C water = 6 biscuits, etc.) I'll be reordering this for sure.

ArcSight is Only as Powerful as its Log Sources
ArcSight's greatest strengths are its correlation and reporting features. These allow you to associate events across different log sources to detect, report upon and escalate potential security issues in real-time. Of course, this feature is only valuable if you have a wide variety of log sources reporting into the Micro Focus ArcSight ESM. To get the most from the ArcSight ESM, you need logs not only from security platforms such as endpoint protection, IPS, IDS, DLP, proxies, directory servers and firewalls, but also from non-security databases, application hosts, point-of-sale hosts and other devices. Once onboarded, the real value comes from incorporating all these log sources into your ArcSight ESM content, so you can cross-correlate between different platforms.
The SEMplicity Onboarding Sprint – The Easy Way to Get ArcSight Working
We have found that a one or two-week sprint is often the best way to onboard a variety of log sources and, most importantly, integrate them into your ArcSight ESM content. By careful filtering, this need not create storage constraints on your ArcSight Loggers or ESM. But it will maximize the value of your ArcSight SIEM deployment by enabling the full power of ArcSight ESM cross-platform event correlation.
|Scoping Determination
|Initial call and follow-up with ArcSight and other security personnel to determine which log sources to onboard their use cases and integration into existing content.
|Pre-Sprint Checklist
|Work with multiple groups within the client to gather credentials, configure devices, open firewall ports, etc. to comprehensively prepare for sprint activities.
|Logger Configuration
|If required, configure ArcSight Logger storage pools to comply with retention policies for new log sources.
|Onboard Log Sources
|Based on the scope, onboard selected log sources. This usually involves the installation and configuration of various SmartConnectors, either standalone or on Connector Appliances.
|Filtering and Aggregation
|Based on use cases, implement extensive filtering and aggregation to only send to ESM the log records necessary to implement the use cases.
|Content Integration
|Integrate new log sources into existing content
|Content Development
|As determined in the scoping call, develop new use case content for the new log sources.
|Engagement Report, ArcSight Training
|Document all log sources and use cases for the client. Provide Micro Focus ArcSight training to internal staff on new log sources and their use cases.
This package may be combined with our Micro Focus ArcSight FlexConnector Development Services to onboard custom log sources not supported by ArcSight.
The key to a successful sprint is preparation, and SEMplicity will work closely with you throughout this critical phase.
In general, an onboarding sprint is vulnerable to delays resulting from change requests. Many log sources require configuration changes in order to send log records. All change requests necessary to support the implementation should be complete before the engagement starts. SEMplicity will work with the client to develop a comprehensive checklist and thus assure that the site is ready before starting the sprint. Furthermore, during the scoping call, SEMplicity will determine the exact change requirements for your implementation.
The other primary risk involves credentials. The Micro Focus ArcSight ESM collects many log sources via JDBC or web services. This requires appropriate credentials and sometimes the creation of a special log collection account. SEMplicity will make certain that all the credentials and accounts necessary are provisioned prior to the start of the sprint.
In general, a sprint onboarding five or more log sources takes between two weeks and one month between the initial scoping call and the start of the sprint to develop the checklist, make necessary changes and acquire the credentials.

Diodon for users who prefer touch and mouse
The present Diodon offers great utilities but it still lacks an easy interface for users who prefer mouse and touch. One can(I think) create a plugin with following features.
>In addition to the normal features, Diodon must have an interface which is analogous to the unity launcher(this can be on the right side). Let me call this clip launcher.
>The clip launcher must have clips(data stored in the clipboard) in place of the launcher icons.
>There must be an empty box in place of the dash icon for the user to add data.
>This allows the user to copy and paste through simple touch (or click) and drag interface.
>The right click (or long touch) menu may have options to delete clip, view data etc.
>The clip launcher must have autohide feature such that it pops out when we drag some data across or when we move the mouse to the right end of screen(some gesture in case of touch).
I think creating such an interface will be really tough but after looking at the various features Diodon comes up with, it is worth a try. Also please say if there is any plugin available which have nearly the same features as above.

|Oliver Sauder (sao) said :
Thanks for this feedback.
I had this discussion before while drinking a coffee and chatting to a friend ;).
Our idea was quite similar to yours but using the Launcher instead of programming it from scratch. So what we thought is to have Diodon in the Launcher. Per drag and drop onto the Launcher icon data could be copied. And on the other hand the user can use the indicator, lens or maybe even the quick list of the Launcher to choose an item.
Those are just ideas though and need some more thoughts what is really possible. I have created a blueprint https:/
|Jebin Tony Raj (jebin12raj) said :
The idea of using the launcher icon is great. I would prefer quicklist to other options. Thanks for creating the blueprint:)
Can you help with this problem?
Provide an answer of your own, or ask Jebin Tony Raj for more information if necessary.

I am ashamed to admit to all of you that I have absolutely no recollection of the 2000 or 2004 presidential elections, and this coming November will be the very first time I'll have voted for a President. I've developed a sudden interest in politics, and the person I must thank for this is Barack Obama. The first time I laid eyes on this man, and heard him speak, I was instantly drawn to this beautiful and wonderful man!
My dear friend dlanor, asked me this question a few days ago: "Who are you really? Just how liberal do you consider yourself? I am just curious. I thought at one time you appeared to be much more conservative."
I found I couldn't answer Ron's question, because I found myself not knowing at all who exactly I was. Ever since he posed that question to me, I've been digging deeply into myself to see what I actually believed in to answer his question. Below, I've made a list of the things I TRULY believe in, but I still don't know who I really am, so I'll ask you all: WHO AM I REALLY?
1. I'm open-minded.
2. I despise people who aren't Color Blind. I have found that MANY of these people have just as poor English skills, and a limited English vocabulary as I do! Can't they see that 100 years from now, we'll all be DUST IN THE WIND, and none of the living will know we even existed here on earth. I believe in freedom for all people, no matter what their sexual orientation, race, nationalities, or religious beliefs may be. Oh, and I believe we're all created EQUAL!
3. I despise Sean Hannity and the rest of his ilk. I find them to be hate mongers, warmongers and LIARS! It infuriates me, it enrages me like a mad dog when Bill O'Reilly accuses those who want this war to end, as UNAMERICAN'S who hate America!
4. I believe in gay rights, I am for gay marriage. I believe they have the same rights we heterosexual's do.
5. I believe in the right to bear arms.
6. I am Pro-Life, yet believe Government and the Catholic religion have right no right, and no business dictating what a woman can, and cannot do with her body. I believe there are other ways of trying to instill to women why they should choose life for their babies.
7. I despise judgmental religious zealots, and those who use phrases such as "Family VALUES," and "They're not our kind." These are the people who oftentimes have more POO in their dirty little diapers than those they judge. I'll give you a few examples; a handful of priests who have given the rest of the GOOD ones a bad name, Craig, and Swaggart for starters!
8. I do not believe in evolution.
9. Although I've never been married, I believe couples should remain 100% faithfully devoted to each other, until death do them part!
10. I am against Capital Punishment, yet I am extremely overjoyed to find that Madeline O'Hare was gruesomely murdered by having her nasty body chopped up into a million little pieces and Waters, the man responsible for it, should have been given a medal instead of prison time! I do believe that those who have been proven guilty, without a shadow of a doubt, of causing such horrible atrocities to little children's bodies, and even going so far as murdering them, should have every part of their private parts SLOWLY sliced off with a tiny razor blade!!
11. I'm KIND OF against government-funded programs. Let me explain. I believe Welfare should be accessible to AMERICAN citizens who have lost their jobs, or have been confronted by some catastrophe, BUT only for a couple of months until they can get back to WORK, just like the rest of us. I do believe people who are severely debilitated due to some illness or mental problems (our homeless, Vets) should be helped en every way by our government. Welfare abuse infuriates me, especially when I'm at the grocery check out stand paying for a pound of cheap ground beef to cook dishes that will last me ALL week, and watching the next person pull out her Lone Star Card to pay for a bunch of T-Bone steaks!
12. I DO NOT want FREE medical heath care for those who have NEVER worked because they've chosen NOT to work, but I DO want more affordable to health care for American citizens who DO work.
13. I am for Labor Unions.
14. I believe 100% in Freedom of Speech and expression.
15. I believe money talks, even in the justice system.
16. I believe in the wisdom of our forefathers when they created our Constitution, and it scares to death when a fool; a dangerous ignorant fool attempt to change it!!
17. I believe in the right to sue for some JUST cause such as a death due to negligence, such as was the case with my mother who should NOT have died, but did way before her time due negligence, and for this FACT, I sued and won, yet I am TOTALLY against frivolous lawsuits and believe those who do this, should be heavily fined. Many of you already know that I also sued my city and won. Not for money, but for the RETURN of what was legally MINE!! I will soon post an update on this, along with pictures.
18. Although, I now find myself TOTALLY against this war, I do believe our country must ALWAYS have a strong military. I'd ALWAYS add my little JOIN THE ARMY icon here in my LJ, along with the link because I was for this war in the beginning when we were suppose to go GET Osama bin Laden, but instead ended up in Iraq slaughtering 100's of thousands of innocent men, women and children, not to mention over 4,000 of our beloved American soldiers who have lost their lives for NOTHING, and the 1000's upon 1,000's of our soldiers who are now maimed for life.
19. Although I didn't vote for the man, I did once stand behind President Bush 100% right after 911, but now find he's a stubborn, self-centered dangerous fool with a 27% or something approval rating, who has just about destroyed our country.
20. I am TOTALLY against illegal aliens in this country, and of course, I am AGAINST amnesty for those illegally in this country.
21. I am TOTALLY against the Patriot Act.
22. I feel we're being taxed to death, and the government isn't spending our tax dollars frugally or wisely.
23. I love America with all my heart and soul, and as God is my witness, so much so that I'd gladly give up my life for this country I am so blessed to live in.
24. I AM a rebel.
WHO AM I REALLY? Can you help me answer the question?

Stata icon fix for Linux still not fixed
Back in early 2014, I identified a problem with Stata on Linux: if you called up the graphical interface (xstata), no icons appeared.
A discussion on Statalist ensued, and I posted a fix on Bitbucket.
4.5 years on, this is still an issue.
The Statalist post still gets regular comments, people are still adapting the fix to new problems, and Stata still has not fixed the fundamental problem in Stata 15.
- My original fix: https://bitbucket.org/vilhuberl/stata-png-fix/
- The Statalist discussion: http://www.statalist.org/forums/forum/general-stata-discussion/general/2199-linux-stata-bug-libpng-on-newer-opensuse-possibly-other-distributions
- kylebarron's version of the fix: https://github.com/kylebarron/stata-png-fix

- Dictation and transcription service. Leverage Google Voice's voicemail transcriptions for longer messages, either phoned in or submitted in audio files. Compete with CastingWords. For an additional fee, add light human editing.
- Voice appointments. Allow people to speak their appointments into Google Calendar, using the same syntax as Quick Add.
- Video voicemail. Integrate Google Voice with Google Video/YouTube capabilities to allow Seesmic-like messaging. This might take off more easily when Android phones have forward-facing cameras, but it's device-independent.

How hard would it be? A couple of ideas for future Google services
Just a couple of ideas I had for future Google services. I can't imagine these would take long to implement.

A Night of Hell in a Cell
WWE Hell in a Cell showcased three main events, four title defenses, and eight matches on the card. Chris Jericho even made his bid to be part of the Raw Team and it's Co-Captain with Kevin Owens at Survivor Series.
READ: https://thedustyhaize.com/2016/10/27/picks-predictions-wwe-hell-in-a-cell/
Here were my picks and the outcomes; I was 4 out of 7, which wasn't too shabby:
- WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP – HELL IN A CELL. My pick was Rusev getting the win; the outcome, Reigns wins and retains the United States Championship.
- ♦BAYLEY vs. DANA BROOKE. My pick was Bayley getting the win; the outcome, Bayley defeated Dana.
- ♦ENZO & BIG CASS vs. ANDERSON & GALLOWS. My pick was Anderson and Gallows getting the win; the outcome, Anderson and Gallows defeated Enzo and Cass by pinning Enzo via The Magic Killer.
- ♦WWE UNIVERSAL CHAMPIONSHIP – HELL IN A CELL. My pick was Kevin Owens getting the win; the outcome, Owens wins and retains the Universal Championship and we had a Jericho sighting.
- WWE CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP. My pick was TJ Perkins getting the win; the outcome, Brian Kendrick defeated Perkins and became the new Cruiserweight Champion.
- ♦WWE WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP. My pick was Sheamus & Cesaro getting the win; the outcome Sheamus & Cesaro wins via The New Day getting disqualified.
- WWE WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP – HELL IN A CELL. My pick was Sasha getting the win; the outcome Charlotte defeated Sasha and became the new WWE Women's Champion.
This pay-per-view was better than Clash of Champions. The matches were somewhat predictable and RAW needs to look at situations that leave fans guessing and craving. It is interesting to see what is next for Rusev, Sasha, and TJ Perkins. I think the clock is finally ticking for The New Day's Tag Team title reign and The United States Championship needs a new number one contender as well as The WWE Women's Championship. It was cool to see the women's main event closing the show. Not a bad night considering how last week's Monday Night Raw left us confused.

NSF Names Final Winners of Math, Science Grants
The National Science Foundation has announced three grants that complete its $100 million precollegiate initiative to improve the quality of math and science teachers and the instruction they provide.
In the final round of grants given under the NSF's Centers for Learning and Teaching program, the independent federal agency said last week that the final three projects would start the development of a new science curriculum, test methods of teaching science with experiments and exploration, and improve the caliber of professional development for math teachers.
Over the past two years, the foundation has made grants to seven other centers—most of them to universities working with school districts—to address similar pressing issues in mathematics and science education. The 10 projects will each receive about $10 million over five years. ("NSF Launches $100 Million Science," Oct. 24, 2001.)
"The Centers for Learning and Teaching are our test sites for innovative approaches," said Judith A. Ramaley, the NSF's assistant director for education and human resources.
Winning Ideas
A $9.9 million grant given to the American Association for the Advancement of Science's Center for Curriculum Materials in Science will help the Washington-based group work with Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill., Michigan State University in Lansing, and the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor to improve the qualifications of K-12 science teachers. The center and those universities will work with districts in Chicago, Detroit, and Lansing, Mich., to show teachers how to evaluate and revise textbooks to meet their classroom needs.
Meanwhile, researchers at the Center for Proficiency in Teaching Mathematics, based at the University of Michigan, were awarded a grant to work with researchers at the University of Georgia, in Athens, to identify the mathematical knowledge teachers need to succeed, and then to design professional-development and teacher-preparation programs that help them master that content.
To help teachers design projects in which students discover scientific principles through experiments, the St. Louis Center for Inquiry in Science Teaching and Learning at Washington University was awarded a grant to lead an effort to find individual teachers' weaknesses in using that approach and offer solutions to them.

Mom Smoked 20 Cigarettes A Day While Pregnant — And Claims It HELPED Her Baby! Experts Weigh In!
Charlie Wilcox even kept up her relentless tobacco habit after doctors warned her smoking could kill her unborn baby! She guesses she puffed through 3,500 cigarettes during her pregnancy!
Her daughter Lilly was born early and underweight, but Charlie Wilcox, 20, still refuses to believe she has done anything to harm her baby! How do you feel about this, HollyMoms?
"On an average day I'd smoke a minimum of 20," Charlie, from Kent, England tells the Daily Mail. "I think it was my right and I don't believe it was hurting Lilly."
Explaining her bizarre theory that her smoking HELPED her baby, she adds, "If I was smoking so much and it was cutting off oxygen to the baby, then surely it would have made her use her own heart and the muscles she'd have to use when she was out."
Baby Lilly shows no current signs of ill-effect, but experts tell HollyBaby.com Charlie's smoking definitely put her daughter's life at risk — and Lilly is still at danger until the smoking mom kicks her habit.
Tara A. Solomon, Medical Director of The Women's Wellness Center of South Florida, explains, "Cigarette smoking during pregnancy places the mother at risk for placental abruption (premature separation of the placenta from the uterus ) which can be life threatening. Stillbirth can also occur because of fetal hypoxia (lack of oxygen). Babies exposed in utero to cigarettes have an increased incidence of birth defects such as cleft lip and cleft palate, low birth weight, and cerebral palsy. Babies exposed to second hand smoke after birth are more likely to die from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and are at greater risk for asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia , ear infections and respiratory infections."
OB/GYN Dr. Terry Hoffman agrees: "Smoking is NOT good for a baby. No study will tell you that. It makes for small babies and babies that are born to smokers are at an increased risk for asthma and allergies. You shouldn't do it!"
Now what do YOU think HollyMoms? Does anyone agree with Charlie?
— Ian Garland, reporting by Jessica Krampe

LED lighting is our preferred lighting type. It uses about 1/4 the energy of standard T-12 bulbs. Not only that, LEDs are noticeably more inviting than traditional lighting, as the light's wavelength is closer to that of sunlight.
Plus, they last approximately 5-10 times longer than compact fluorescent bulbs and don't have the environmental and human safety concerns. If you accidentally break a compact fluorescent bulb, it is considered a human health hazard due to it's mercury content. When it comes time to dispose your compact fluorescent bulbs, to avoid environmental issues, take them to an authorized recycler.

Huawei introduced something so simple, that I wonder how come so far, no router manufacturer approached it yet: a 4G mobile ( for car ) router that plugs directly into the power socket of the car, or in the cigarette lighter. Huawei CarFi is shaped like a FM mp4 player or a FM modulator, to say so.
Place a SIM card in it, and it generates a Wi-Fi network using this connection, like any portable 3G router. Alternatively, it can be controlled remotely via smartphones with Android or iPhone, using "Huawei Hilink" app, available for download for free . As for specifications, it has 4G LTE Cat 4 (up to 150 Mbps downlink and 50 Mbps uplink) and it generates a 802.11b / g / n wireless network which allows up to 10 devices to be connected.
It also has a USB port ( provides a maximum of 1 A ) that can connect another device (smartphone or tablet) and powers it, so you can charge your smartphone while surfing the Internet. Huawei already had the solution proven in various passenger vans in Barcelona. It is an interesting solution, simple and cheap to have Internet in your car.
