Project Manager granular permission system
Toki shared this idea 2 years ago
Under Consideration
It would be nice if the permissions on the customer side are more granular. Example, the permissions is let customers upload and view files. I would rather have them separated. I would like customers to see project files uploaded by the staff but don't let them upload files to the project.
The permissions should also be linked to the project or customer. Some projects require customers to create tasks and upload files. Some don't. Its either all or nothing today which makes it only useful for internal projects and not really for the client area section. I don't want customers messing up a project by spamming tasks because they think its support but then I want that option for other customers and projects.

Thank you for asking. Yes, Steve's been very fortunate and is now in his second year of a decent four year apprenticeship. Not only that, but it's at a classic old Coventry firm, Matrix Machine Tools - shrunk since its heyday perhaps, but still thriving. It's not in electronics, as I'd expected, but on the mechanical side, which we all hope will give Steve a steady and bright future.

When Megyn Kelly announced she was leaving Fox News in favor of a less lucrative, but more desirable, deal with NBC, it cleared a path for Tucker Carlson at Fox.
On Friday, People magazine reported that Kelly's slide to NBC was doing the opposite for Tamron Hall and Al Roker, whose 9 a.m. slot during the "Today" show is on the chopping block to make room for Megyn.
According to a source, Kelly will either take over the fourth hour of "Today," bumping Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford to 9 a.m., or she will take over Al and Tamron's 9 a.m. slot — but either way, Al and Tamron will not be co-hosting together anymore.
Roker and Hall will still be seen together as part of the 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. team, but the shakeup proved to be unsettling to many on social media, who say they will miss the bubbly duo:
Dear @TODAYshow if u replace Al Roker & Tamron Hall w Megyn Kelly, I, like many others, will drop entire show & watch Good Morning America— Matt (@FilmFan_001) January 28, 2017
Tamron Hall and Al Roker are worth ten times more than Megan Kelly!!! @tamronhall @alroker @TODAYshow #BoycottTodayShow https://t.co/BVBnCpu8ay— Kenya (@KenyaMusic) January 28, 2017
You people are seriously considering replacing BOTH Al Roker & Tamron Hall w/ Megyn Kelly? LOL that's completely insane. @NBC @TODAYshow— barefoot contessa (@ShukorBella) January 28, 2017
They're really gonna cut Tamron and Al for Megyn Kelly? No thanks @TODAYshow— Michaela Jacobson (@ShortAndSweetMJ) January 27, 2017
I've put up with a LOT from Megyn Kelly over the years, but replacing Tamron and Al Roker is officially TOO MUCH. #nope— Robin Benway (@RobinBenway) January 27, 2017

The most recent "For Your Enrichment" column in Reference & User Services Quarterly (RUSQ 55:1, Fall 2015) features a piece by our colleagues Laura Barrett, Ridie Ghezzi, and Jay Satterfield.
In "For Your Enrichment: Jay Gatsby Goes to College" Laura, Ridie, and Jay describe Dartmouth's First Year Student Enrichment Program (FYSEP) and the Library's role in the 8 day pre-orientation for the participating first generation college students.
ABSTRACT: Jay Gatsby, the main character in F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel The Great Gatsby, is a self-made man. He entered St. Olaf College in Minnesota but then dropped out during his first term because of the humiliating circumstances of his poverty. Gatsby's flight from college contrasts with the Ivy League education of Fitzgerald's narrator, Nick Carraway, the Yale graduate better equipped to navigate East Egg's social world. Gatsby's experience is still relevant today: while the transition to higher education is often difficult for young people, it is especially so for first-generation students. Many students can call on the experiences of family members to help them acclimate to the college environment, but first-generation students lack a road map for academic success and social comfort in what can feel like an alien world. These students often face even greater hurdles at highly selective institutions such as Dartmouth College, where expectations for academic achievement are high and the social climate is often unfamiliar.
Read the full article here.
FYSEP in 2015:
- 14% of Dartmouth's incoming Class of 2019 are first generation college students.
- Over 50 of those students participated in FYSEP this fall.
The library session was closely aligned with a class taught by Reena Goldthree, Assistant Professor of African and African American Studies. The course on modern Caribbean history focused on the U.S. occupation of Haiti (1915-34). The students' assignment asked them to explore the long history of U.S. expansionism in Latin America and the Caribbean. Each student was expected to take this broad topic and identify their own more specific topic to research and write about. Laura, Ridie, and Jay along with Andi Bartelstein, Amy Witzel, Sarah Scully, Jill Baron, and Morgan Swan worked with the students to brainstorm topics they might pursue for their papers and then discussed research strategies with the students to identify both primary and secondary information resources.
- A few of the items that students used during the session in Rauner include:
o Geography: Bry, Theodor de. Collectio navigationum in Indiam occidentalem. 1611.
o Pirates: Exquemelin, Alexander Olivier. Bucaniers of America. London: Printed for William Cooke, 1685-1685.
o Haitian Revolution: Edwards, Bryan. An historical survey of the island of Saint Domingo, together with an account of the Maroon negroes in the island of Jamaica; and a history of the war in the West Indies, in 1793 and 1794; by Bryan Edwards, esq. Also, a tour through the several islands of Barbadoes, St. Vincent, Antigua, Tobago, and Grenada, in the years 1791 and 1792. By Sir William Young, bart. Illustrated with copper plates. 1801.

Competing Approaches to Forecasting Elections: Economic Models, Opinion Polling and Prediction Markets
We review the efficacy of three approaches to forecasting elections: econometric models that project outcomes on the basis of the state of the economy; public opinion polls; and election betting (prediction markets). We assess the efficacy of each in light of the 2004 Australian election. This election is particularly interesting both because of innovations in each forecasting technology, and also because the increased majority achieved by the Coalition surprised most pundits. While the evidence for economic voting has historically been weak for Australia, the 2004 election suggests an increasingly important role for these models. The performance of polls was quite uneven, and predictions both across pollsters, and through time, vary too much to be particularly useful. Betting markets provide an interesting contrast, and a slew of data from various betting agencies suggests a more reasonable degree of volatility, and useful forecasting performance both throughout the election cycle and across individual electorates.

Being 4.
Reading stories.
and making chalk drawings on the sidewalk.
I was playing around with Pixlr Express an online photo editor and decided to make one of my quote images for you. I found this quote and it seems so fitting after our day on the water over the weekend. I'm still going through the photos and once I'm done editing I will share some with you. And how true is it that my memories are lingering! I look at all the photos I took and can't help thinking back on this perfect day.
Have you had a perfect day lately? Or a memory that's lingering in your mind?
"The only reason why we ask other people how their weekend was is so we can tell them about our own weekend." ~ Chuck Palahniuk
So. How was your weekend?
Oh, wonderful. Well, let me tell you about mine! 🙂
We started our weekend with a trip to Oktoberfest in Oakland Park, Fl. Hubby found out that our favorite German restaurant was going to serve the food. So, off we went to get some Bratwurst on a bun and some Sauerkraut.
Middle's bestie joined us. Here are the girls at the entrance of the "Biergarten" where we sat and ate some delicious food. And of course, hubby had to have a good German beer. What other beer is there? 😉
Don't you just love this shot. Hubby in his Ballack jersey and Little One in my old dirndl dress.
All three of the girls with my hubby. It took a few tries to get all 4 of them to look at the camera but I finally got a good shot.
I love seeing my girls wear this special dress. I wore it when I was a little girl, Middle has worn it to a previous Oktoberfest when she was little and now Little One is wearing it too. She wore it for Middle's Heritage Day at school last year. At first, she was super excited but as soon as it was time to go she started crying. Insert head scratch here. Turns out she didn't want to look like Cinderella in her cleaning dress!!!! Okay, then. This time we didn't have that issue and she wore it very happily.
Hubby again in his Ballack jersey. Micheal Ballack was the team captain for the German national soccer team (die Nationalmannschaft) and we found out this weekend that he had actually just retired.
After sitting in the Biergarten eating some yummy German food, listening to the band play some traditional German tunes and wandering around the vendor booths, we headed over to the rides. The highlight of the night for the girls.
Little One was thrilled with this alligator roller coaster and kept riding it over and over again. She's a little speed demon, that one.
Middle and her friend meanwhile enjoyed the swing ride. They were able to spin the seat while it was flying through the air. Let's just say I'm happy I wasn't on it with them. My Bratwurst would probably have made an appearance again!
Now this giant monstrosity was a slide. The girls loved it. Me, not so much. By the time they reached the bottom they had so much speed that they usually twisted and tumbled over before coming to a stop. At one point I thought Middle hurt her neck it was so bad. But all three girls were having the time of their lives.
And of course, we couldn't miss out on the water guns!!! Money pits that they are. Little One won the first round with a little help from daddy and walked away with a cute little stuffed puppy.
Saying "Good Bye" after a fun few hours. By the time we got back home everyone was pooped and I had yet to bake a birthday cake!!!
Linking up with Bianca at Bits of Bee.
It's Monday.
The beginning of another week.
And the only thing I like about Mondays is joining Stasha and making a list for her.
Today's all about compliments.
I wasn't sure which way to go with this one.
I don't take compliments easily and never quite know what to say other than "Thank you."
As I was browsing around the interwebs I got an idea.
Why not combine my love for lists and quotes and give you a list of 10 compliment quotes.
1) We are prepared for insults, but compliments leave us baffled. ~ Mason Cooley
2) Flattery…. gets its kicks by flirting with insult and ridicule. ~ Willis Goth Regier
3) Pay with compliments and you will always be wealthy. ~ Mike Dolan
4) I can live for two months on a good compliment. ~Mark Twain
5) What flatterers say, try to make true. ~German Proverb
6) There is no effect more disproportionate to its cause than the happiness bestowed by a small compliment. ~Robert Brault
7) Do not offer a compliment and ask a favor at the same time. A compliment that is charged for is not valuable. ~ Mark Twain
8) Nothing makes people so worthy of compliments as receiving them. One is more delightful for being told one is delightful — just as one is more angry for being told one is angry. ~ Katherine F. Gerould
9) It is great to get praise from the lips of taciturnity. ~John Addington Symonds
10) Modesty is the only sure bait when you angle for praise. ~Lord Chesterfield
I love that quote and even though I like to keep my expectations low, maybe every once in a while I should expect more… and live on the wild side!!!
Thing is sometimes something happens that you never ever expected in a million years… it kinda was that way for me.
The lovely Greta of G*funk*ified invited me to her corner of the blogosphere and share my expectations, or lack there of, I should say!
So, if you are so inclined I'd love it if you'd visit me there and say "Hello."
"Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit."
~ Henry David Thoreau
"Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
~Ronald Reagan, June 1987 near the Berlin Wall
(one of the reasons I'm able to be here, in this country)
A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success.
~ Doug Larson
Once a week I will be adding a quote…anything that strikes my fancy …I love quotes …they can make you smile, cringe or even make you sad sometimes but they will always make you think!!!
One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives. ~ Euripides


text: Harry P. Posted January 6, 2013 This is a 1/24 scale model of a 1910 Type B bus built and operated by the London General Omnibus Company (LGOC). It had a capacity of 34 passengers (16 inside and 18 on the upper deck) and is considered to be the world's first mass-produced bus. It was built on a wooden(!) frame, had steel wheels, solid rubber tires (I mean "tyres"... ), and had a top speed of about 15-16 mph, which was actually faster than the speed limit at the time in London (12 mph). The kit is made by Occre (a Spanish company) and is a true multi-media kit. It's curbside, and like the real bus, the frame is wood, as is the main body (made up of many laser-cut pieces). The hood (I mean "bonnet"), fenders ("wings"), wheels, axles, springs, and various small detail parts like the handbrake lever, the steering wheel, the spring shackles, headlights, etc. are cast white metal. The kit also supplies brass rod to for the handrails, a photoetched sheet of aluminum parts (the skirts on the rear staircase, the staircase signboards, and various small hinges and detail parts). Also included is a sheet of thin Lexan that you cut out the windows from. All of the graphics are printed on an 8 1/2x11 sheet of paper and have no adhesive. It's up to the builder to figure out how to attach them. I find that painting the surface that they're going to be applied to with Future and then placing the cut out marking onto the wet Future is the perfect way to apply the markings. I built the kit mostly OOB but added several small scratchbuilt details per my reference photos. The biggest change I made was to scratchbuild a new front axle, spindles, tie rod, pittman arm, etc. in order to have poseable steering. All paint is acrylic craft paint with Future clearcoating (except the fenders, the various control levers, the pedals, steering wheel and headlamps, which are Model Master semigloss black). Bare wood like the seats and floor boards are stained with Minwax stain. Slight weathering via black wash was applied overall. Here is a photo of one of the real ones (restored). And here is my model: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What It Takes To Be a Cabin Crew
"Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return." -Leonardo Da Vinci
That quote holds true for most, or perhaps, all flight attendants. We have met former cabin crew members who misses flying a lot. They share their memories as a flight attendant and sometimes would describe them as one of the happiest days in their lives.
At the same time, many have dreamed of being a cabin crew, where most of them do pursue such career. "I want to be a flight attendant because I want to travel the world", "Being a flight attendant is the 'in' thing nowadays", "Cabin crew jobs pays high", "I like to be a flight attendant because it is fun", "it is a very glamorous job", and so forth are the most common reactions when you ask them why they want to be a cabin crew. We are not saying that we agree nor do we disagree with them, everyone's entitled to their own opinions and views anyway, but what does it really take to be a cabin crew? What do those people who aspires to be flight attendants have to go through? What do they need to have? Are there are special skills needed? Is the job as a cabin crew fit only for a special selected number of people? Aside from the minimum height, age, waistline and so on requirements, what else are needed?
Here are what it takes and what one needs to go through to be a cabin crew member. This is not to scare those aspiring to be flight attendants, but this is to prepare you for what lies ahead. This blog post is also written to answer those who think that flight attendants are "glorified servers of the air", and why we do think that the cabin crew are actually the "unsung heroes of the skies"
Well these should give you a basic summary of what it takes to be a flight attendant. There are actually more to those, except they may vary per airline and per country of origin.
With all that being said, you now have a glimpse of what it takes takes to be a flight attendant. I hope this also changes the perception of others that flight attendants are just "servers of the air", or to some, "glorified maids in the air". It takes a lot to be a flight attendant, and that is the reason why that in many countries, they are highly paid. In exchange of those high salaries and free travels they do sacrifice a lot physically, emotionally, and mentally.
For us, they will always be the "unsung heroes of the air".

MIDDLETOWN, Conn., Dec. 10, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Omega Flex, Inc. (Nasdaq:OFLX) announced today that at its meeting on December 8, 2010, the company's board of directors unanimously voted not to issue a dividend to the shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2010. In December 2009, the company issued a special dividend of $2.00 per share, which was paid to obtain the then current favorable tax treatment on dividends and as a result of the company's favorable cash position. While the current debate in Washington has created uncertainty on the future tax regimes that will be in place in 2011 and beyond, the board has elected to retain and build the company's current cash position to take advantage of possible strategic opportunities in the near term. The company has fully repaid its existing financing line of credit, and has no long-term debt. With expected cash generation in 2011, these actions will position the company for strong growth in the future.

Argyreia osyrensis (plant)
Out of stock
Argyreia osyrensis is a slender vine native to South East Asia and the Indian subcontinent. It has been reported as having antibacterial and antioxidant properties (Antibacterial and antioxidant properties of Argyreia osyrensis. Mahendra et al. Annals of Phytomedicine 5(1): 110-115, 2016.)
Many members of the family are used medicinally and for divination purposes (for example, Rivea corymbosa, Stictocardia tiliifolia and Ipomoea violacea). Ipomoea batatas (Sweet Potato) is a family member used for food production. Ipomoea costata is an Australian species used by Aboriginals as a carbohydrate source from its large underground tubers. Many are also used as purgatives, containing glycoresins in the leaves and roots. Compounds of the ergot type also cause muscle contraction and have been used in certain situations and problems associated with pregnancy.
Care and Cultivation of Argyreia osyrensis
Argyreia osyrensis is a vine in tropical and subtropical conditions which has heart-shaped leaves, and dainty pink/purple flowers. Likes adequate water and a full-sun to part-shade position in well drained soil. Fertilise well over the growing season.

His spontaneity and the magical music of the sounds of the words cannot be described in words. It has to be experienced to understand what it is. The sheer intensity of his life and the strong desire to express himself resulted in the wonderful treasure that we have in the form of his poetry and plays.
Extreme hunger for Power saw the end of Macbeth. In fact, each of Shakespeare's tragedies ends in a nemesis that gives an inspiration to all of us to improve and develop and grow. Because left to themselves, things can only go from bad to worse.
More on this great man and the lessons to be learnt in my next posting.
Thank you.

Big robot fleet takes to UK waters
By David Shukman
Science editor, BBC News
- Published
A fleet of marine robots is being launched in the largest deployment of its kind in British waters.
Unmanned boats and submarines will travel 500km (300 miles) across an area off the southwestern tip of the UK.
The aim is to test new technologies and to map marine life in a key fishing ground.
In total, seven autonomous machines are being released in a trial heralded as a new era of robotic research at sea.
Two of the craft are innovative British devices that are designed to operate for months using renewable sources of power including wind and wave energy.
The project, led by the National Oceanography Centre, involves more than a dozen research centres and specialist companies.
Chief scientist Dr Russell Wynn told BBC News: "This is the first time we've deployed this range of vehicles carrying all these instruments.
"And it's exciting that it's the first time we can measure everything in the water column and all the life in the ocean simultaneously.
"The ability to measure the temperature or the weather at the ocean surface, or dolphins and seabirds with the cameras on the vehicles - no-one's ever been able to do that at the same time hundreds of miles from the shore."
Data about the oceans is usually gathered by a combination of satellites, buoys and research ships, but all three have limitations in their coverage, and large crewed vessels are particularly expensive.
The motivation for exploring the use of massed robotic vehicles is to assess whether they can provide near-constant coverage at far lower cost - the equivalent of CCTV offering round-the-clock surveillance.
The target for the deployment is an area of ocean marking the boundary between Atlantic waters and tidal waters from the English Channel - what's known as an ocean front.
Fronts like this usually create upwelling that brings nutrients from the seabed towards the surface and encourages plankton to thrive. That in turn attracts fish, whales, dolphins and porpoises.
Most of the craft are being deployed from the Isles of Scilly for a three-week traverse of the ocean. The exact route of the journey is being withheld to avoid the risk of anyone interfering with the experiment.
Instruments will record key parameters of the ocean, ranging from the concentrations of plankton to the clicks and whistles of dolphins and porpoises. Cameras on the surface vehicles will also attempt to capture images of seabirds and other marine life.
According to Dr Wynn, the UK's 700,000 sq km of waters are highly productive as fishing grounds but the processes at work in them remain unclear.
"Actually understanding how that sea works and how the animals are distributed is a real challenge if you've only got a small number of ships and a few buoys dotted around.
"Having a fleet of vehicles that can go out, without humans on board, controlled by satellite, really gives us a chance to transform our ability to monitor the ocean.
"At the moment a lot of decisions about how we manage the oceans are based on very few data - relatively simple things like where do dolphins and seabirds go to feed? We actually have very little information on that."
Until now, companies developing robotic vehicles for use at sea have focused on military and commercial customers such as the US Navy and oil and gas companies, and American firms have dominated the market for automated submarines.
The British government's hope is that the UK may become a leader in unmanned surface machines - robotic boats - which can act as drones gathering information to help weather forecasters or do conservation work.
Ministers have identified robotics as one of the "eight great technologies" that can help rebalance the country's economy and drive growth.
Funding has allowed the National Oceanography Centre to support two UK companies, MOST and ASV, in developing their AutoNaut and C-Enduro robotic boats that are on trial now.
The first phase of the deployment is planned to end in three weeks' time, when the vehicles will be retrieved from the ocean and the results analysed.
Partners in the project include the universities of St Andrews and Exeter, Cefas, the Marine Biological Association, Plymouth Marine Laboratory, the British Oceanographic Data Centre, British Antarctic Survey, UK Met Office, Royal Navy and DSTL. Corporate partners include MOST, ASV, J&S, RS Aqua and Liquid Robotics.

DirecTV keeps billing me and won't stop: Help Me, WalletPop!
Q. In Late August 2009 I called DirecTV to have my service canceled at my former address because I would be moving to a house at the end of October. The representative that I spoke with told that me that canceling or (the term that they used) suspending my service would not be a problem. I was also told that upon moving, if I would like to reinstate my service it would be free of charge. I did not reinstate my service and decided to go with my local cable provider. Fast forward 9 months to June 2010. I receive a call from DirecTV informing me that I owe them money for a bill in March 2010. I told the representative that I am no longer at the address where my service was located and to check to see if a new tenant has reinstated the service at my former address. I was then told that when I canceled my service that I should have been told that my account would be suspended then reactivated if I did not call to say that I did not want the service to be reinstated. I informed the representative that I was not told this information when I canceled last year and that I did not sign off on or agree to such a ridiculous term. In addition, I was not in a contract so I didn't violate any sort of contractual agreement that may have been set forth when I began the service. Since that phone call I have returned all equipment. I was receiving daily calls from DirectTV stating that this bill (amounting to a little over $200) must be paid or the credit card they have on file will be charged. Now I am receiving weekly bills requesting that this bill be paid. Can they get away with this?
A. Denora, this was DirecTV's mistake, plain and simple, and it is in the process of refunding your money, says Vaughn Cater, a company spokesperson. It did a little digging into your account and found that there was some miscommunication about the cancellation you asked for.
You were charged a total of $531.38, and DirecTV says that it will be processing a refund to your credit card of $522.59 within five to ten business days. Why the discrepancy? Apparently you'd purchased a few pay-per-view movies that were still on your account – and never paid for – before you canceled, which means they're collecting for those. I'd take it as a loss and move on.
This sort of thing is why we keep tabs on our credit card bills, and why we fight companies when we think we've been falsely charged. This is a lot of money back in your pocket – well worth the extra legwork it took to get it there.

Perfectly portraying a scene from a long ago past, the Cotton Wagon Serving Piece is a fascinating piece of artwork. From the Clementine Hunter-inspired home collection, this large oval serving piece is a great collectors' item or simply a standalone keepsake.
Clementine Hunter is a regional folk artist that was born and raised outside of Natchitoches Parish. She began painting at 52, where she drew her inspiration directly from her experiences living and working on plantations. Her paintings are not only beautifully, they are culturally and historically significant because they perfectly depicts scenes from Louisiana's agrarian heritage.
Thought completely self taught, Hunter's work is praised for its skilled technique. Her unique style, developed by creating over 4,000 pieces in her lifetime, is bold, bright, and expressive. Her pieces are both whimsical and authentic. They bring life to any room they are displayed. This serving piece perfectly displays Hunter's painting "Cotton Wagon." It is handmade by artisans that use time-tested glazing techniques to fully honor the vivid colors and detailed brush strokes that define Hunter's work. The piece shows a man driving the cotton from the fields to the gin in a horse-drawn wagon. It offers a personal window into Louisiana's agrarian past for anyone who views the work.
Both functional as a serving piece for special occasions and beautiful enough to hang as wall art, the Cotton Wagon Serving Piece is a unique addition to any home. The scene is visually beautiful and perfectly displayed on the ceramic dish. The Cotton Wagon Serving Piece makes a great conversation piece.
The Cotton Wagon Serving Piece is also a clever gift idea for anyone who loves folk art. The serving piece is an ideal host or hostess gift. The Cotton Wagon Serving Piece is extremely high quality and its beauty will last a lifetime.

Beer Battered Fish Sandwich
Hello & Happy Wednesday!!
If there is a second food concept besides fish tacos that I was completely enamored with prior to focusing on plant based foods..
It was fish and chips!
However, even though the landscape for vegan food products has evolved, the faux fish department remains to be lacking and that goes even for vegan food establishments. The only vegan fish sandwich I've seen at a grab and go spot in the NYC wasn't even made in house, but was simply a frozen fish patty made from a large company that contains all sorts of fillers and caramel color etc.. I feel as though if you're going to offer a vegan concept, everything should be made in house. If I wanted to buy a veggie burger patty, I can just go to the market. TRUTH.
So as a whole I've wanting to develop more faux fish concepts and this vegan Beer Battered Tofu Sammie fits the bill!
What I love about this dish is, everything. Its made from tofu, making it accessible, affordable, has multiple textures (crispy from the tofu, crunchy from the cabbage), tart from the malt vinegar and tartar sauce, has a slight hint of beer and simply packs tons of flavor!
This sandwich needs no pitch, because its everything you dreamed of and more in a vegan fish and chips concept. If you long for that faux fish sammie or simply have tastebuds..
You have to try my recipe for vegan Beer Battered Tofu Fish Sammie!
Why this recipe rocks:
Tartar sauce is insanely good!
Non vegan approved
Great aesthetic appeal
Perf for anytime of the year!

Forgiveness. The final fork-in-the-road decision where one must choose between love and hate. It's when we can't go forward, backwards, or up, until we choose left or right. Do we choose to forgive and let go of the hurt and sadness that's consumed us? Or, do we choose to hold onto it, and never forgive? It is ultimately one of the biggest decisions we have in life, and if we choose wrong, it could haunt in the shadows and burden daily.
I was always one that held onto things for a while, until eventually the emotion came out with tears and I forgave. My mom thought it weird that I'd be crying over something from months before, rather than crying that very day the hurt first hit my chest. Call it strength, or call it weakness. Either way, I was able to let go of it, to truly deal with a life situation.
I truly feel my life is blessed, and that God has only given me challenges He knows I can take. That being said, it wasn't always rainbows and butterflies growing up. With my parents at a constant disagreement, or rather a lack of understanding for each other, inevitably it led to their divorce. If I could say one thing about divorce if in any way to help educate others, it is this- divorce scars more than just the two that sign the parting papers. It hurts the children involved as well- they are losing half of their lives too.
It's a very weird reality to live in. All of a sudden, Christmas is no longer the same white Christmas tree dressed in garland of red. Instead, it's driving here and driving there. It's a constant back and forth and I've felt like a yo-yo being played at the hand of divorce. I have moved on from my parents' divorce. Both my parents have as well and are in new marriages. But, divorce really doesn't go away, ever. I feel it's a long battle on that road to forgiveness. No, I don't want to start a "parent trap," but I do miss that white Christmas tree.
Forgiveness is letting go so that we can move on with our own lives and not be pushed around by that word lurking in the shadows. For me, my word is divorce. To forgive my parents so that I can move on with my own life, trusting that someday I will have a successful marriage.
I can only hope that everyone else is able to move on faster towards forgiveness, sooner than later and choose love over hate every time. If forgiveness is something you just can't do, then at least think about it. Come up with all sides of the situation and truly understand it. Work daily on trying to let go. You may not forget whatever the hurt is, but you will find a way to forgive so that you can live on. Find something important to you like for me it is writing, and find a healthy way to exercise forgiveness. Because one day, it will all blow away with the wind, leaving the shadows, and taking the heavy weight with. Forgiveness is freedom. And we have to work on it every day.

2003 NBA Draft: Best First Round Ever? (Poor Darko Edition)
Based on the early returns of the 2013 NBA Draft, Darko Milicic would be a franchise player.
HoopsVibe Very Quick Call: Poor Darko was 10 years too early.
Based on the early returns of the 2013 NBA Draft, Darko Milicic would be a franchise player.
HoopsVibe Very Quick Call: Poor Darko was 10 years too early.
According to ABC 7 in Detroit, the Pistons have contacted Brian Shaw about an interview for their vacant head coaching position.
HoopsVibe Very Quick Call: Why in the world hasn't Shaw gotten a head coaching job yet?
As a player, Shaw advanced to four NBA Finals- one with the Orlando Magic in 1996 and three with the Lakers (2001-2003), winning all three as a Laker. He won two more titles as an assistant coach with the Lakers.
So, it isn't like he doesn't know how to win.
In addition to the Finals appearances, Shaw played with some great players throughout his career. As a first round draft pick of the Boston Celtics, he was teammates with Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish and Dennis Johnson, learning the game from some of the all-time greats.
From there he moved onto the Miami Heat and played alongside Glen Rice and Steve Smith. He then joined Orlando, joining Shaquille O'Neal and Anfernee Hardaway, becoming a mentor to the latter. From there he went to the Lakers and was a key reserve on their championship squads before becoming an assistant coach and learning from possibly the greatest coach ever, Phil Jackson.
So, it's not like he doesn't know how to work with big egos and be successful.
And even now that he's been an assistant coach with the Pacers for two seasons, there still is no clear answer as to why he has been passed over so many times. At least not one that makes sense.
After the Lakers hired Mike Brown instead of him, Shaw was as perplexed as anyone.
"All the speculation and what I've heard, the powers making those decisions felt like the team needed a change of culture and a new voice, and head in a new direction," Shaw said. "I thought that was kind of peculiar because in the 12 years I'd been there, all we had done was gone to the championship seven times and won five championships.
I felt like there were 29 other teams in the league that would love to have that kind of culture and that kind of direction."
Brian Shaw should be a head coach in the NBA. A year from now, Joe Dumars could look really smart.Read More
Sources with knowledge of the Bulls free-agency plans confirmed to CSNChicago.com Friday evening that the Bulls are targeting recently waived veteran shooting guard Rip Hamilton. The organization's pursuit of the longtime Piston was first reported by the Chicago Tribune.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: This was long overdue.
Once upon a time, Rip Hamilton was an All-Star two-guard for the Detroit Pistons, however, his career went sideways once the team traded Chauncey Billups for Allen Iverson.
At the time, GM Joe Dumars needed stability, so he extended Hamilton with a multi- year contract for well over $30 million.
This was a mistake. A bad signing for team and player. The two-guard couldn't handle losing, feuding with coaches, teammates, and management.
For instance, Hamilton led the Pistons in rebelling against former coach John Kuester, which included boycotting practice and laughing when the sideline boss got ejected from a game. There were other transgressions.
Years back, Hamilton should have played out his contract, hit free agency, and joined a contender as a third or fourth scoring option -like the Chicago Bulls.
Hamilton will take the scoring pressure off 2011 MVP Derrick Rose and often-injured post Carlos Boozer. He'll also hold his own defensively.
The only problem with this signing is that it's happening too late.

After interviewing Rick Adelman and Don Nelson over the weekend, the Timberwolves intend to interview Larry Brown and possibly one or two others in this first phase to replace fired coach Kurt Rambis.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: It makes some sense -more than hiring Don Nelson, at least.
Larry Brown is best when spreading his 'Play The Right Way' mantra amongst a young, impressionable group. After all, Brown considers himself a teacher of the game, and clearly he suffers for his students.
Well, the Minnesota Timberwolves are young and impressionable. They've won just 32 games since 2009, so Brown's message would, at least initially, hold weight.
The on-court dynamic would be fine -for a while. The off-court end of things sounds dicey.
Yes, Wolves GM David Kahn has known Brown since their days at UCLA. In fact, Kahn considers Brown a mentor, who guided him as a young, impressionable reporter on the west coast.
This is a problem. Brown, to be effective on the sideline, needs a strong counterweight in the front office, who can laugh off his idiosyncrasies, worrying, and perfectionist nature.
There was the legendary Donnie Walsh in Indiana. There was the enthusiastic Pat Croce in Philadelphia. And there was Joe Dumars, who at the time still possessed his magical touch in Detroit.
This trio knew when to listen and when to ignore Brown. Not surprisingly, this formula worked in Indiana, Philadelphia, and Detroit.
Kahn is already a disaster. He would misread, misquote, and mishandle Brown, which, in turn, would have a negative impact on those young, impressionable, and talented players.
The nomad sideline boss isn't right for the Wolves. But this is about Kahn's inadequacies, not Brown's.

Lawrence Frank is Detroit's choice to be its next head coach, and formal offer imminent within next 24-36 hours, league sources tell Y!
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: The Detroit Pistons aren't kind on coaches –but I suppose new sideline boss Lawrence Frank is aware of this.
Whether because of Executive Joe Dumars or the team's temperamental players, the Pistons have chewed up and spit out seven coaches in eleven years. Many of those coaches left on bad terms; a few had awful experiences.
Frank knows this. He also knows what he has –or doesn't have. The Pistons are a mediocre team, with several players who may resist his defense-first approach.
Still, Frank has one of the NBA's thirty head coaching gigs. After getting fired by the New Jersey Nets and spending time as an assistant with Doc Rivers' Boston Celtics, Frank is back in 'The Big Chair'.
--Oly Sandor.
Got thoughts? Well, get at HoopsVibe News in the comment box below.
Was the envelope frozen? Or was the crease in the upper right hand/folded corner enough for the commish to know it was the correct envelope to pick? Watching the NBA Draft this past week, and the tepid response from most fans concerning who would go number one overall, is a long way from when it was held in 1985. Back in 1985 the Draft actually mattered because Patrick Ewing was at stake.
John Kuester will not be returning to the Pistons as head coach, according to sources. Kuester has posted a 57-107 mark in his two years in Detroit. Kuester seemed to have a personality clash with Richard Hamilton, Rodney Stuckey, Tayshaun Prince and Tracy McGrady.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: John Kuester didn't deserve to keep his job as coach of the Detroit Pistons. He did, however, deserve to be treated better.
After all, the players crapped on their sideline boss, viewing him as a career assistant who didn't deserve to sit in the big chair.
From day one Kuester didn't have their respect. Veteran Rip Hamilton chewed him out in front of the team. Several players boycotted practice. And many of those same players were caught laughing on camera when he got ejected from a game.
Kuester was part of the problem. Clearly, there were others.
It starts with GM Joe Dumars, who has lost his touch. The roster he assembled is flawed, dysfunctional, and overmatched.
Fortunately, the Pistons have new owners. So Kuester won't be the only change.
--Oly Sandor.
Got thoughts? Well, get at HoopsVibe News in the comment box below.
"Tracy McGrady was 1,000 hours of practice," Van Gundy said to laughter from the audience. "He should be a Hall of Fame player. His talent was other-worldly. He was given a great leg up in the race against other players. He's as close as I've ever seen to someone with a perfect body and a good mind."
Two sources confirmed to CBSSports.com Friday night that the Nets were trying to recruit the Pistons to enter a blockbuster three-team scenario in which New Jersey would've gotten Anthony and Chauncey Billups from the Nuggets and Richard Hamilton from the Pistons. The complicated and intriguing scenario was first reported by the The Record of Hackensack, N.J.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: Not long ago, GM Joe Dumars was confident he could rebuild his Detroit Pistons on the fly.
The plan was simple enough: trade Chauncey Billups' multi-year contract for Allen Iverson's expiring contract; let Iverson's contract come off-the-books; and ink a big-ticket free agent.
Then Detroit would be back. They'd have the horses to beat the Boston Celtics and win another championship.
Well, the plan never materialized. Instead of landing a big-ticket free agent, Dumars signed underachievers like Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva. And instead of rebuilding on the fly, the Pistons have gotten worse.
They're part of the Carmelo Anthony sweepstakes. Only they aren't competing for Anthony, the big-ticket piece they supposedly covet. They've been relegated to third team status.
Reports indicate the Pistons' involvement will allow the Nets to get Anthony, and former Piston Billups, who Dumars originally dealt to the Denver Nuggets for Iverson three years ago.
Things have come full circle for Piston-nation. Rebuilding on the fly didn't work. Now Dumars must tear the team he built down and start all over.

Malloy vetoes changes to affordable housing law
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has vetoed an affordable housing relief bill that had been championed by suburban lawmakers from Greenwich, Fairfield, Milford and Stratford to curtail development.
The Democrat said Friday that House Bill 6880 would undermine the progress made to provide more affordable housing in Connecticut.
"Every resident of Connecticut should have access to housing they can afford in the town where they work," Malloy said in his veto message to the secretary of the state. "So, too, should everyone be able to live affordably in the town that they choose, with access to good schools, safe neighborhoods, and basic services, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or income."
The legislation would have made it harder for developers to appeal zoning denials by towns of projects, which a 30-year-old law currently allows. Many developers have used the law to push through residential building projects that might not normally be approved. It requires them to set aside 10 percent of units as affordable housing.
State Rep. Brenda Kupchick, R-Fairfield, who helped to introduce the bill, bemoaned Malloy's veto.
"It was a small, very modest modification that would allow towns a smidge of a chance to avoid being taken advantage of by predatory developers," Kupchick said. "It's disappointing. We'll just have to wait until the governor's gone and we'll try again."
Cities and towns must set aside 10 percent of housing units for low- to middle-income residents under a 1989 law, which loosens local zoning regulations for developers who help meet the quota. But less than 20 percent of the state's 169 municipalities currently comply with the law, which has resulted in scores of lawsuits being brought by developers against communities for denying housing projects.
By law, a housing unit is affordable if it costs an occupant no more than one-third of his or her annual income, where the income is less than or equal to the area median income for the municipality where the housing is located.
To give communities time to address the affordable housing shortage, the state has granted a number of them a four-year moratorium on zoning appeals. The legislation would have extended the grace period to five years for cities and towns with at least 20,000 dwelling units, providing relief to places such as Greenwich, Fairfield and Milford.
"I am totally supportive of workforce housing and always have been," said state Rep. Livvy Floren, R-Greenwich, a sponsor of the bill. "(But) developers are using (the law) to skirt local planning regulations, and I think that's wrong."
State Rep. Christopher Rosario, D-Bridgeport, chairman of the Legislature's Black & Puerto Rican Caucus, voted against the bill.
"I believe this is a way for folks to not build affordable housing in their communities," Rosario said. "It gave me serious concerns, the potential of the bill's ability to reduce access to safe and affordable housing in the state of Connecticut. I applaud the governor for taking the stance that he took."
State Rep. John Frey, R-Ridgefield, a real estate agent and bill sponsor, said supporters invested a lot of time and effort building broad support for the measure.
"For him to veto this is shocking," Frey said. "It seems like he's not in touch with what's going on. The votes are clearly there to override it if it comes up."
Frey said Ridgefield has 18 months until its current four-year moratorium on affordable housing zoning appeals expires, and that it doesn't have enough overall housing units to qualify for the five-year moratorium.
"All the power is in the developer's hands and the municipalities are very vulnerable," Frey said.
State Sen. Gayle Slossberg, D-Milford, who championed the relief measure, echoed Frey.
"The governor's veto message shows a real lack of understanding of the specific workings of this statute and of the need for reform," Slossberg said. "Connecticut is the only state that allows private developers to site their developments wherever they choose. States that do not give this disproportionate power to housing developers have been much more successful than Connecticut in developing affordable housing."
But State Housing Commissioner Evonne Klein, the former first selectman of Darien, said Friday that the bill failed to incorporate an inclusionary zoning language for all cities and towns favored by her agency. The language would have guaranteed set-asides of affordable housing.
"The changes in HB 6880 do nothing to increase the much-needed stock of affordable housing," Klein said. "It is essential that legislation supports forward thinking and incorporates policy that promotes inclusion, vibrancy, and economic development. I applaud Governor Malloy for standing up for the voices of our citizens and for vetoing these damaging changes to the Affordable Housing Land Use Appeals Act."
But state Reps. Pam Staneski, R-Milford, and Charles Ferraro, R-West Haven, said in a release Friday that they are highly displeased about the veto. The release noted the bill received 116 votes in the House and 30 votes in the Senate.
"Towns like Milford are getting overrun with affordable housing applications," Staneski said in the release. "This legislation was a modest step towards affordable housing reform which hoped to offer towns an attainable goal of developing and reaching a moratorium. I call on all my colleagues in the General Assembly to push for an override of the Governor's veto. The voices of Milford residents and the state should not be silenced."
"Under the current 8-30g (statute), towns like Milford had very little chance of ever achieving the high bar for a moratorium that allowed predatory developers to sidestep local zoning laws. It's clearly been a difficult and complicated issue to work on with the majority in the legislature not in favor of any changes," the release said.
"Governor Malloy's veto on the affordable housing legislation that was worked on by Republicans and Democrats signals that he is unwilling to help municipalities who are being negatively targeted by predatory developers," said Ferraro, also in the release. "I will be working with members from both sides of the aisle to override his veto and put this very important piece of legislation for our cities and towns into law."
The Connecticut United Way, however, said in a release that the veto "seeks to ensure that there is continued growth in the stock of affordable housing across Connecticut."
"When households are overburdened by housing costs, they are faced with living in substandard housing, moving farther away from jobs, and even falling into homelessness. High housing costs also makes it difficult for low and moderate income families to afford basic necessities such as food, child care, transportation and health care," the release said.

I'm late to the rumour that Deadwood might become a movie. Late, and extremely excited. Watching this show I used to press pause every five minutes to write down my favourite lines. Shakespearean syntax + facedown-in-the-gutter profanity = goosebumps-inducing dialogue. Here are some of the g-rated gems:
Truth is, as a base of operations, you cannot beat a saloon.
Hereforth, in a calamity, I'll be sure to send for Jane.
Short of burning it all down, you got to trust someone.
I'd as soon as try to touch the moon as take on what a whore's thinking.
I'm the simple type of man that, seeing lightning, looks for thunder, and finding thunder understands it as part of the same storm.
I don't collude and I don't cahoot.
You coulda just said "Amen," Reverend.
He may have checked out short a useful amount of blood.
You do not want to be a dirt-worshiping heathen from this point forward.
Wild Bill Hickok: You know the sound of thunder, Mrs. Garret?
Alma Garret: Of course.
Wild Bill Hickok: Can you imagine that sound if I asked you to?
Alma Garret: Yes, I can, Mr. Hickok.
Wild Bill Hickok: Your husband and me had this talk, and I told him to head home to avoid a dark result. But I didn't say it in thunder. Ma'am, listen to the thunder.
PS: The character of Calamity Jane, played by the inimitable Robin Weigert, served as a kind of personal archetype for me a few years back. I wrote about it here.

Day 16 ? Sunday, July 16
Today was, by far, the worst day of the trip so far and not ? as some have suggested – simply because I missed my breakfast. Oh okay then, that was the reason.
An idea for sister magazine Cycle Sport was to get our resident racer Dan Duguid to ride the full route of the day?s stage from Montelimar to Gap a few hours ahead of the race and see how far down the course he could get before he was hauled off the road by the cops.
It meant alarms were set for 6am so we could drive the 25 kilometres to the start in the centre of Montelimar in time to have breakfast and start the ride at around 8am. Ed and I planned to start the ride and get a couple of hours in before stopping to watch the stage on TV and have an enormous lunch. And possible a beer. We didn?t tell Dan this.
All would have been fine had I not lost the key for one of the locks securing the bikes to the back of the Broomwagon. A half-hour search finally located my jacket and, to my relief, the key was in there, but time had been lost.
The helpful camp site boss said we couldn?t leave until 7.30 because he wasn?t prepared to open the gate until then, so we took matters into our own hands and lifted the bar and drove off. With his electricity adapter. Technically it is not theft as he still has our ten Euro deposit. Tell it to the judge, Jean-Marc, we?ve got the power.
Anyway, the relaxed pre-ride breakfast was missed because we had to get on the road, a task made all the more tricky by the absence of route markers in Montelimar. That cost us half an hour.
We were only just out of the neutralised zone when Dan sprinted off, leaving Ed and I to ride at a reasonably leisurely pace. At least we dropped the woman on a flat-barred mountain bike on the third-category climb. If she?d kept up there I was ready to give up cycling for good.
Ed is recovering from a knee injury and my crank has been, to say the least, cranky. The nagging fear it would fall off and earn my valuables a painful meeting with the top tube meant I didn?t dare get out of the saddle.
It was devilishly hot, something that, ludicrously, took me by surprise. I was quickly out of water ? one bidon was never going to be enough, even for a two-hour spin. By the time we stopped for lunch I felt hot, weak and tetchy. I was hungry and dehydrated ? something that was not helped by a quick stop at a wine-tasting festival en route. Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time.
My attempt to get 20 minutes? sleep to recharge was thwarted because the inside of the van was hotter than the surface of the sun and there was no shade. So, I ordered a big bottle of mineral water and watched the stage.
The twisty drive on to Gap made me feel sick and dizzy and no matter how much water I drank I still felt thirsty. After a stop at the Phonak hotel in the centre of Gap we headed on to our campsite, a messy, crowded sprawling place with too many people and not enough staff.
Time was getting on and dinner was going to be missed unless we were careful. The restaurant at the camp site told us they?d stopped serving and then the on-site manager, who looked like Gerard Depardieu who hadn?t brushed his hair for a week, tried to ring us a taxi, without any luck. He shrugged the shrug of a Frenchman who didn?t care one way or the other whether we ever ate again and that was it. I lost it. I asked loudly and, I?m afraid to say, rather rudely if there was another restaurant nearby. He realised that serving us a bite to eat was a better option than having me collapse on the floor in tears, pretend to be all heavy and throw a big wobbler.
It was my ?Pierrefonds?. For those who are not regular readers of Tales from the Broomwagon two things: firstly, where have you been the past fortnight and secondly, Pierrefonds was the scene of the now infamous ?Night of the Missed Dinner? where we arrived at our base after all the restaurants had shut and dined on processed cheese.
Ed has accused me of having a cob on. He has a point. I was certainly a bit quiet until the starter turned up. It was very nice. A forestiere salad followed by lamb chops.
