The 2017 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 is reported to have successfully stolen the top spot, which has been held by Toyota for considerable time frame. Well, by the looks of it, this is an easy feat. The ZR2 is definitely an extremely capable off-roading beast!
The represents the second-generation Colorado. The latest Colorado ZR2 is reported to have not spared any details to emerge as the best truck in its class. The 2017 Colorado ZR2 has been unveiled last year at the Los Angeles Auto Show. From such unveiling, it revealed its eager intention to be the ultimate off-road model.
Last month, however, Chevrolet has invited North American automotive experts and journalists to Grand Junction, Colorado. This is for the main purpose of showcasing what the ZR2 can perform and deliver altogether.
Such event has paved the way to have a conversation with point persons from Multimatic, which provided the ZR2 its shock absorbers. This has been developed in collaboration with engineers at Chevrolet to meet the specific needs of the truck.
The 2017 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 is considered as the version of Chevrolet's midsize Colorado pickup as it has gone through a battery of performance tests. It has been brought to the harsh and rugged terrains of the Rocky Mountains. Based on this test, its Multimatic shock absorbers has provided a remarkably good ride both on the pavement and on the dirt.
Its independent front suspension also has provided a comfortable ride given the tough terrain it faced. The shocks have also performed impressively even in high-speed off-roading. The 2017 Colorado ZR2 settles quickly that a direction change is possible just as turning the steering wheel.
The 2017 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 has two engines available. Both the , which produces 308-horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque and the 2.8-liter turbodiesel (capable of 186-horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque) provide its much-needed power altogether. Certainly, the 2017 Colorado ZR2 is a great truck worthy to be comfortably sitting on top of everything else.

Warning: NSFW! Contains adult content
Ever wondered what goes into the making of a movie sex scene? Of COURSE you have. And here you go…
It's that moment when two actors are getting it on on screen and it all looks very lovely and romantic / dirty and passionate as required. But really there's a whole crew, a director finding it hilarious, and a can of 'stage sweat' involved making it about as sexy as the thought of your parents doing it.
A behind the scenes clip from new flick Stretch has been released showing how Brooklyn Decker and Patrick Wilson (bravely) get hot and sweaty for the cameras. All part of the job, eh?
Before they get going she talks about moving 'it' because 'it's' in her way, then the pair reassure each other 'no, you're good, you're good!'
Not awkward at all.
Then 'action' is called and the…er…action happens.
Once the pair are, ahem, finished, the director Joe Carnahan tells them: 'That was great. Do another one like that and I swear we got it,' followed by a reassuring 'that was a lot of f***ing'.
The pair are then sprayed with sweat and sent on their way again.

It's a beautiful Spring day here today, with all kinds of birdsong early in the morning, so I thought I'd try painting a bird feeder for today's elephant.
I painted a bird feeder once before with a sort of abstract camouflage pattern, but I've never tried something representational like an elephant. This particular bird feeder already looks a bit like an elephant, however, so it shouldn't be terribly difficult.
I started by painting the entire thing grey—both inside and out, including the rope—with acrylic paint. Unfortunately, the plastic side panels don't come out, so I taped the edges. I didn't want to paint the plastic for a couple of reasons. The first is that the paint would be in close proximity to the seed, which I'm sure isn't good for birds. The second is that I doubt the acrylic paint would even stick all that well to the plastic.
After the first coat of grey had a chance to dry, I gave it another coat, and let that dry as well.
Next, I lightly sketched the elephant's outline, both front and back with pencil. I then shaded the grey in various areas to give the elephant some dimension.
Once I was happy with the shading, I added pink toenails, pink inside the ears, and a pink tip to the trunk. I also added some white tusks, and black for the eyes and tip of the tail.
I painted in all the black lines after this, including a few more not on my original sketch.
To add a bit of colour, I painted some grass using a few messy blends of a dark green, a light green and yellow.
This isn't an all-day job, by any means. I think this took me about two hours, but a lot of that involved waiting for the paint to dry between layers—which, with acrylic paint, is also not that time-consuming. It's also not difficult, and to me these cheapie bird feeders look a lot better when painted.
To finish this up, it should have a coat of sealant of some sort if it's actually going to hang outside. But I'll save that for another day.
Elephant Lore of the Day
One of the more intriguing things I've read lately comes via the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, which rescues and rehabilitates orphaned elephants before reintroducing them to the wild. One of the most mysterious phenomena they've encountered over the years is the appearance of a welcoming committee of elephants, every time youngsters are moved from the "Nursery" to a transitional rehabilitation area.
The rehabilitation area is a good eight-hour drive from the Nursery, and there is generally more reason to be foraging in the wild than hanging around at a gate. Nonetheless, each time new arrivals are brought, all of the Trust's former orphans—along with a number of wild elephants—are waiting.
Nor do they just stand and watch. As soon as the youngest orphans are unloaded from a purpose-built truck, the wild elephants come forward. Laying trunks gently along the newcomers' backs, the wild elephants also give the new arrivals elephant kisses on the mouth, rumble excitedly, and try to get as close as possible.

At night, when the young elephants are ushered into a separate enclosure, the herd usually remains nearby to monitor the babies. In the morning, as soon as the babies are let out of the enclosure again, the wild elephants begin introducing the babies to their new home.
After a time in this transitional area—which can be a year or more, depending on an elephant's age and maturity— the youngest orphan elephants are returned to the wild as fully integrated members of the herd.

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine (AP) — Authorities say it took a towing service about three hours to retrieve a partially submerged SUV out of the water off a fishing pier where it was parked in Maine.
Kennebunkport Fire Administrator Richard Stedman tells the Portland Press Herald (http://bit.ly/2tIIZB1) no one was in the new GMC when it rolled into the water at about 9:30 p.m. Monday.
It was believed to have been parked at the Cape Porpoise Fishing Pier in Kennebunkport.

Judge Tosses Detroit Terror Case
But U.S. District Judge Gerald Rosen said the two, as well as a third man, must stand trial again on charges of document fraud.
The judge's decision came after the Justice Department admitted widespread prosecutorial misconduct in the case and asked the judge to dismiss the terrorism charges against two men accused of being part of a Detroit terror cell.
In a case the government once hailed as a victory against terrorism, Karim Koubriti, 26, and Abdel-Ilah Elmardoudi, 38, were convicted in June 2003 of conspiracy to provide material support for terrorism and to engage in fraud and misuse of visas and other documents.
A third man, Ahmed Hannan, 36, was convicted of only the fraud charge, and Farouk Ali-Haimoud, 24, was acquitted.
The government's change of heart, outlined in court papers Tuesday, came after a months-long court-ordered review of documents connected to the case. The Justice Department uncovered several pieces of potentially exculpatory evidence that should have been given to the defense before trial.
In a 60-page memo that harshly criticizes its own prosecutors' work, the Justice Department told Rosen on Tuesday night it supported the Detroit defendants' request for a new trial and would no longer pursue terrorism charges against them.
The reversal comes during the buildup to President Bush's nomination acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, where he and his allies have been touting their success in the war on terror.
The internal investigation of prosecutorial misconduct found enough problems that there is "no reasonable prospect of winning," the government conceded, drawing back from a case once hailed by the Bush administration as a major victory in the war on terror.
"In its best light, the record would show that the prosecution committed a pattern of mistakes and oversights that deprived the defendants of discoverable evidence (including impeachment material) and created a record filled with misleading inferences that such material did not exist," Justice told the court.
The decision was hailed by lawyers for the Detroit men who were convicted last year.
The memo attached to Justice's filing was harshly critical of Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Convertino, the lead prosecutor in the case. It quotes Convertino's colleague who worked on the case as saying he would never have proceeded if he knew the problems uncovered by the internal investigation.
For instance, Justice alleged that Convertino was told about photos of a Jordanian hospital that the alleged Detroit cell was accused of making surveillance sketches of, but never introduced the photos at trial or told defense lawyers. Instead, the prosecution elicited testimony from an FBI agent suggesting there were no such photos.
"Misleading testimony was elicited that created the false impression that there was initial consensus that the drawing depicted the Queen Alia Hospital and that photos could not be taken due to diplomatic red tape," Justice conceded.
Convertino has been under investigation for months and filed a whistle-blower lawsuit against Attorney General John Ashcroft earlier this year. In an interview with the AP, Convertino accused Justice Department superiors of thwarting his efforts to introduce some evidence against the defendants at trial.
Convertino's lawyer, William Sullivan, declined comment Tuesday night, citing the judge's gag order.
In the new court papers, the Justice Department also divulged testimony from a recently retired CIA officer who directly called into question another of the government's key conclusions at trial — that the alleged Detroit terror cell had made a surveillance sketch of a Turkish air base used by American fighter jets.
The retired CIA officer, William McNair, told the Justice Department he told Convertino during five to 10 conversations that CIA experts "did not believe the sketch conveyed any useful information" and was probably created by "someone who was not very well-trained."
The filing also noted that the government uncovered new evidence, recently reported by the AP, that FBI agents in Las Vegas and Detroit disagreed over whether a videotape found in the Detroit terror cell's apartment was surveillance footage of American landmarks, as jurors were told.

What Zoe Tay expects from her husband on every birthday
Photos: Tammi Tan
Video: Philip Ang
Zoe Tay's husband is a dead man if he ever forgets her birthday.
Okay, we're probably being a little overdramatic, but the Queen of Caldecott Hill (now Stars Avenue) did declare – with a threatening glare, we might add – that she would be royally ticked off if her hubby, pilot Philip Chionh, were to let such a momentous occasion slip his mind.
Thankfully, he has yet to commit such an alarming relationship faux pas, as the Mediacorp Ah Jie happily reported to us at her 50th birthday bash last night. "He's not a very romantic person, but I'm happy enough if he remembers and gives me flowers," she said, when we asked what's the most swoon-worthy thing Philip has ever done for her birthday.
Flowers are what she received in abundance at yesterday's star-studded soiree at swanky Japanese joint Enbu, which was also held to mark her 30th anniversary in showbiz (yes, it's been that long since she won Star Search in 1988). While there's still a week to go before Zoe officially hits the big five-O on January 10, she gleefully revealed that she will be travelling with her best friend then, so the event had to be brought forward.
Wait a minute – don't Philip and their three boys Brayden, Ashton and Nathan have anything planned to celebrate her reaching this milestone age? "Not that I know of," she shrugged. "And besides, I'll be working over the next few days."
Oh dear, no wonder Zoe joked that she should've been retired by now, a light-hearted comment that was quickly brushed aside by the veteran actress's reassurance that she has no intention of throwing in the towel just yet. And besides, she's been too busy to ponder about retirement life thanks to her young sons (they turn 13, 11 and 8 this year), who keep their mama on her toes and her plate full.
Case in point: the dedicated super-mum diligently plans merry get-togethers for her kids' birthdays simply because they enjoy it. "They love having friends around and they love receiving gifts," she said, adding that it's also a good opportunity for her to get to know their classmates better.
Don't expect the same treatment for Philip, though. "I used to throw parties for him but I stopped because he doesn't really care for them. (laughs)"
Continued on next slide: Zoe's most memorable birthday party

Zoe's most memorable birthday party
In all her years as a top star, Zoe has certainly had her fair share of fancy festivities thrown in her honour. However, one of the birthday parties she holds dearest to her heart is the one that happened over half a lifetime ago, courtesy of her long-time friend and celebrity hairstylist David Gan.
"It was my 21st birthday, but I didn't tell him anything," she recalled. "After I drove him home, he told me to get down from the car and go into his house because he needed to pass me something. As soon as I stepped in, I was greeted by all my friends and everyone I knew from my modelling days! I was moved to tears. (laughs)"
Last night's shindig obviously came as much, much less of a surprise (her managers had been putting it together for two to three months, and Zoe personally picked out the restaurant), but just like it was all those years ago, what mattered the most were the people.
"I'm grateful enough for the fact that everyone was willing to show up today," she said. "There isn't anything else that I want or need."
Zoe's gratefulness towards her guests wasn't just restricted to nice-sounding, interview quote-worthy words: she showed it, and we felt it.
For example, while we were halfway through our scrumptious and elaborately plated dinner, Ah Jie herself paid a sudden visit to our table, just for a casual chat. We're not going to lie: we honestly would have expected her to spend the entire evening mingling with her fellow famous folk (there were 16 other artistes out of the 50 pax present).
Then, at the end of the whole affair, Zoe stood at the door to say goodbye and thank every single person as they exited the venue (and to gladly oblige selfie requests while looking exceptionally flawless in every single one of them), reminding us of the post-reception line at a wedding dinner.
So much for someone who had earlier on declared that she's "not good at entertaining guests".
Happy birthday, Ah Jie!

Zoe poses with her enormous bouquet of roses
Before the cake-cutting commenced, Zoe was presented with a massive bouquet of 150 roses from Mediacorp CEO Tham Loke Kheng. According to Bryan Wong (who put his hosting skills to good use and acted as the emcee for the segment), the roses come in three different colours, with each colour representing a decade of Zoe's career, as well as the past, present and future.
We're still wondering how Zoe brought that enormous thing home, and if she has any room at home to store it.

Zoe removes the candle with her mouth
Bryan Wong relayed a "special request" to Zoe: remove the candle from the cake with her mouth. Although she was obviously worried that someone would smash her face in from behind, we don't think anyone would ever dare to do such a thing to the Queen!

Last week I was working the deli counter at Cheese Importers. Two women came up to order coffee. I recognized one as the mother of my son's teammates. We made some Momtalk as I made their espresso.
"How long have you worked here?" she asked. When I said I'd worked there for a year, she said, "That's good of you."
I smoothed over the strangeness of that comment by keeping the chatter going and the coffee coming. As soon as she left, my co-worker said, "What the hell kind of comment was that?"
I asked him if he thought her remark was condescending. He shrugged. "Who else is going to make her coffee?"
Who else, indeed? Perhaps she might have felt more comfortable if a pimply-faced twenty-something had handed her a coffee, instead of someone who has children the same age.
There are assumptions embedded in her remark, namely that I'm at an age where I should be doing something to improve the world. Something more personally prosperous. Or maybe I just can't cut it in the world of competition and industry.
Her remark prompted a memory of nearly thirty years earlier. My then-boyfriend and I were driving up the coast to San Francisco when I mentioned that one of my sisters was dating a man whose family owned a tire dealership. He snorted and said, "Why would anyone want to own a tire dealership?"
"It just so happens," I replied, "that the car you're driving has tires. I'd say that's filling a need."
I could have told her that ten years of raising my children was industry enough for me, and that Rip Van Winkle-like, the print and publishing industry I had been part of for the previous ten years was unrecognizable to me. I could have told her what better contribution to civilization could I have made than to raise well-adjusted, warm-hearted kids. I could have told her I'm lucky to have a job at all in this economy, much less at one of Longmont's main attractions. I could have told her I'm a yoga teacher. A writing coach who helps people tell their stories in the best way they can, something I never could have done when I worked as an editor. I could have told her people everywhere are making whatever contribution they can, and that she could stand to update her attitudes about what constitutes valuable work.
I think I'll let the words of our country's current poet laureate, Philip Levine, carry the day.

Morning meditation on Write It Down! writing holiday at Finca Buenvino in Spain: time to breathe, time to relax, time to dream…
New Year's Day is meant to be a time for celebration and resolution, forward into the Brave New World of whenever. But the BNW of 2018 looks a bit damn scary to me and I bet my last slice of [homemade, Delia Smith] Christmas cake that I'm not the only one. So, here's the practises that worked last year for me and kept me off the Citalopram, Tinder, hard liquor and digital diatribes.
1] One Day At a Time
Like a dismissive pat on the head by a well-meaning but rather unbothered friend, who's just caught the eye of someone rather less needy over your shoulder at a party, this phrase can stick in the craw but three years of living with a terminally ill husband initially taught me the value of this one. As my mother used to say, 'You'll never get this day again, Elaine. Don't wish your life away.'
2] Live In The Now
That's another that jangles uncomfortably against all the forward planning we feel we should be doing today. What about what we didn't do last year? What about what we're meant to do tomorrow? But take a moment and be grateful for what and who you have. Right now.
3] Concentrate on Your Breathing
Oh yeah, like I forget to breathe? Well yes, forget to slow it down. Forget to count for four breathing in, six out. Forget to relax my shoulders and relax my jaw. This exercise sorted out my years of panic attacks.
Repeat as required. Happy 2018 everyone, there will be good times!
NB: You know all that stuff around ay the moment about, 'New year, new you'? Pshaw! Just how you are, is perfect right now. Believe it.

From left: Aquilano.Rimondi on the runway, Beyonce in Balmain, and Balmain on the runway
Although it's been springing up for years, the fashion world's current obsession with tailored classics and androgyny provides the perfect backdrop to give military inspired pieces the attention they deserve. Balmain often gives a stunningly glamorous military spin to their clothes on their runway, and this season was no exception. Beyonce recently turned heads when she wore one of their jackets out and about. Rihanna, ever the trendsetter, has been pushing this trend into the limelight as well with tough, military inspired looks, particularly in the video for her song, "Hard."
Personally, I think this look is absolutely perfect as spring rounds the corner and florals and pastels come to mind. Sure, snow may still be on the ground in areas that are inclined as such, but that doesn't mean we can't break out our little dresses. I think they provide the perfect contrast to the neutral structure and masculinity of military attire. A spring dress with a jacket or a floaty top with cargo pants or capris provides a stunning contrast.
Also, the style of the military item itself has been updated, as is obvious with Balmain's most recent line. Dazzling embellishments or feminine fabrics create an entirely different feel. Accessories of the military persuasion are instant updates to your traditional attire – think aviators or combat boots.
Would you wear the military trend?
So, how do you feel about the military look? I would really like to get myself an inspired blazer and some combat boots, but I'm afraid the latter would look too clunky on my short/curvy frame. What do you think? Let me know in the comments!

So as you have already heard, the demo for Wet is available to download on the Xbox 360 and we have gotten our hands on it to bring you a hands-on with the upcoming action flick, I mean game.
Wet borrows its style from a mixture of Tarantino movies, with a specific nod to Kill Bill as your very angry gun and sword wielding leading lady Rubi takes out anything in her path with a gritty 80's Grindhouse sort of feeling.
Find out if we think if this game is going to be a Royale With Cheese or not.
It's not too difficult to compare Wet to other games that you may have played in the past, as it has a similar feel to games such as Stranglehold and even Max Payne with acrobatic maneuvers that initiate a slow-mo mode that allows you to aim and shoot.
By sliding on your knees, jumping, swinging and wall-running you are able to initiate your main slowed-down attack mode which lets aim and fire with one gun while the other gun automatically locks onto the closest target. You can also use your sword to quickly dispatch of enemies in a spray of blood and is also usable in the slow-mo modes.
The game also utilises quick-time events as the demo ends off with you involved in a crazy highway chase requiring you to shoot at enemies while leaping from vehicle to vehicle by pressing the appropriate button at the right time, as you do.
Visually the game is quite pretty from an artistic point of view and as stated previously borrows from an 80's B-film style, with grainy film effects and a crazy kill-everything mode that switched the entire game over to only red, black and white as you massacre anything that gets in your way.
I am a little on the fence with Wet, as the game seems like it could be a lot of fun but the action's pacing feels a little off as you are constantly required to use the slow-motion to fight. That being said, if you loved Stranglehold then there is a good chance that you are going to love Wet and if you are also a big fan of movies like Kill Bill, then you are in for a treat.
A big thank you goes out once again to the folks from iPeg.co.za for sponsoring the bandwidth for our downloads

I Like/Love #13
1. I like the sound of the vacuum.
Especially when I'm not the one running it. 😂 My darling husband is, without even being asked. He knows I've got a couple of irons in the fire, pots on the stove, quilts in the works. Besides, he does often vacuum anyhow.
2. I love my friends, my family, and Mama Nature.
(common theme in these posts, no?)
This has been a bit of a tough past couple of days... Remember this photo I took on December 23 and wrote about in my December I like/love post?
I mused about this making a great Christmas card, photoshopping out the patio chairs legs of course, and how I recalled cardinals being messengers from loved ones... Naala had just passed away. March 4 would have been her 11 birthday, so she's been more on our minds/hearts again. My dear friend Helen, of Word Weaver Art, (please go check out her wonderful blog and stunning pieces of art) delivered on my musings.
Not only did she 'photoshop out' the patio chairs, she zoomed in on the 'Glimpse of Red' and she added Naala's paw prints, symbolizing she's just outside of view for now... It hung in Florida, was carefully bubblewrapped back up and transported to one side of my feet in the SUV ride back home, where it now hangs in our kitchen, which is where I first took the photo. This blog has changed and enriched my life in unimaginable and numerous ways. I thank the Universe for bringing Helen and me together. IRL aka In Real Life, very soon, we both hope, and visualize.
More friend time of the IRL kind was had in Florida, with family time in Nashville a couple of weeks ago.
The first photo is of a wonderful canal-side restaurant, Farlow's On the Water in Englewood, FL where we met up with John, Janette and Eddie, friends from the Catskills in New York. We had a wonderful day, walking dogs, visiting and enjoying the warm sunshine. The Tabebuia trees were in full bloom when we left, both pink (not pictured) and yellow. Glorious! Also glorious was a weekend in Nashville, courtesy of Dayna's fiancé and his sister, for Dayna to shop for a wedding dress, which, if you read a prior post, was a successful venture. That is me in Franklin, just outside of Nashville, under a gorgeous... um cherry? tree. Ahh!! the magnolias too, which were just opening, one of my favourite trees. The southern magnolias weren't out yet, those with the fragrant dinner-plate-sized blooms. It was so strange, in a good way, to leave hot steamy summer weather in Florida, go to mild spring weather in Nashville, back to Florida for a bit, and now in early chilly spring here in southern Ontario!
3. I love teaching yoga.
I'm so glad to be home, despite the flurries we had yesterday (nothing stuck) and again today, as I type, (stuff is sticking...not a fan). My self-esteem got quite the massage at yoga on Sunday, and again in my 6 am Tues/Thursday classes, as my students showered me with hugs and words of love, and 'missed you so much', upon my return. 🙏
4. I love dessert.
I don't let myself eat it daily since I passed 40...which was a while back. Once or twice a week, though, dessert of the home-baked kind especially is welcome! This, however...
5. I love reading.
I finished a great book out of the library, Weekends With Daisy by Sharron Luttrell. If you love dogs, and even if you don't consider yourself a doglover, you will love this book as it is about so much more than looking after a puppy-in-training for a service dog. Daisy lives Monday to Friday with Keith, a prisoner who was selected to be a puppy trainer, quite the privilege in prison. He and Sharron share the raising of Daisy, where Sharron learns as much about herself, and about how to approach life in general, as she does about being a dog trainer. I also read two more No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency books, and am currently engrossed in two books, The Midwich Cuckoos by John Wyndham, fulfilling a personal goal to read at least one classic this year, and Voyager by Diana Gabaldon, re-reading it as I watch season 3.
6. I love water.
I am blessed to live less than two minutes' walk to Lake Erie.
7. I like water, and kayaking.
We always make time for a couple or more beach walks. Below is the one along the midway point of Manasota Key. Beside it is a photo of a sea urchin I spotted on the shore of Bird Key, which is across from Sarasota where we were walking dogs, a certain one swimming his heart out, with one of the best men in my life, John.
The bottom two photos are from our kayak outing this year. I hope one day we can get either a tandem kayak or two individual ones. For now we rent. This year we kayaked in the intracoastal water between Englewood and Manasota Key, through Lemon Bay and down to Stump Pass, about a 3-mile round trip. Those are the bottom two photos.
8. I like chain-piecing.
These two projects are my Island Batik project for February (I know....rather ashamed that it's late, but IRL took over QBL much to my annoyance) which is blues and violets, and Postcard from Sweden, the large HST Kona Thistle I believe, going through the machine. Let's see if I can do both without reverse-sewing...so far so good.
9. I like learning.
This week sees the start of the New Quilt Bloggers Blog Hop, with us behind the scenes getting to know each other, working on blogs, doing 'homework'. As a first-time co-host, I'll admit I'm nervous, but excited, because it always has a positive outcome when I try something new, when I face a challenge. In April and May we will be doing some hopping to new blogs in QBL, with some pretty attractive prizes up for grabs for readers of those new blogs!
Linking up with LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color where you can visit several other people who regularly write these I Like/Love posts.

I was all ready to moan over the cupcake, and talk about flowers, but Diana Gabaldon? Outlander? LOVE LOVE LOVE. Read them all, watching season 2 now on disc from library. Do you think Jamie looks right in the show? Not how I pictured him... Taller and thicker and craggy-er in my mind. That's why I love books. But I do like the show too.

Hi Sandra,
I'm a little late but better late than never! OMG - that picture that Helen made for you! Oh so wonderful, and I am thrilled (as I'm sure she is as well) that it is hanging where you can gaze upon it often. I love cardinals, and those paw prints - so touching and perfect. That cherry ? tree is just gorgeous! WOWEE - nature is just a miracle to behold. Don't be nervous about hosting us bloggers - we're the fun group so we'll all have fun and learn lots and making great friendships. And Postcard . . . I just came to see where I'm suppose to be by now . . . I'm freaking out because I'm just trimming, trimming, trimming. And that's only to row three. EEEK. ~smile~ Roseanne

The Markus Wesaw®
Personal Statement
Academically, my studies have primarily involved the discipline of psychology despite the fact that my predominant career path has involved occupational health and safety. Many have questioned why I chose formal education in psychology and, simply put, it's because I believe health and safety to be "people" problems. Getting employees and organizations to think about safety and implement safer work practices definitively encapsulates psychological principles and theory. From a multidisciplinary approach, I attempt to describe, predict, and explain occupational health and safety problems using the foundation of my academic acumen.
Consulting Background
Utilizing the principles of Industrial and Organizational Psychology, Mr. Wesaw has effectively and efficiently provided occupational safety and health consultations to a wide array of corporate clients. The scope of work has included workers' compensation, regulatory citation assistance, risk management, legal research, training, and contracts. Consulting experience entails the oil & gas, construction, and transportation industries ranging in size from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies. Aside from professional consults, Mr. Wesaw has engaged numerous teaching and speaking assignments at various high schools and colleges where communication and discussion merged theory with application. Career endeavors exhibit experience and success in non-profit and profit corporations, academia, and consulting.
Teaching Philosophy
Teaching and instructing on the principles of health and safety is probably one of the more enjoyable types of work that I do. If I taught other subjects, which I can of course, the end results might not have the same high impact. That is, teaching people about safety is important because I am able to convey information that may prevent death or serious injury.
However, there are by nature many challenges in conducting safety and health courses. Some classes are mandatory, so we get participants who are "imprisoned" and wish to be doing other work. Other times, people just have a bad attitude regarding safety and health, which permeates the classroom setting. My ultimate goal in teaching involves conveyance of practical and useful information in the most meaningful way. This can be a tough proposition, but the end rewards are always worth it.
Participants in my classes can expect real world scenarios that apply to their job or vocation. This is how I attempt to convey meaning and value. I also have to outline important regulatory requirements, but do not quote the law verbatim whenever this can be avoided or limited. Rather, I attempt explain the spirit of the law and what must be done to comply in order to increase understanding and to promote greater awareness.
Training and education is utilized as an instrument to promote and grow people through understanding and critical thinking skills. My primary aim is to connect the element of education to real world problems. As I impart information in the classroom and online, my overall goal is to spread awareness, increase safety and health initiatives, and to help people develop professionally. I have been fortunate enough to teach for many years now and will continue to implement my teaching philosophy as I grow and evolve.

Revelation to the 7even - Thyatira/
This week during our Revelation to the 7even series we are studying Jesus' words to the church in Thyatria fromRevelation 2:18-29. Sunday, October 23 was week 5 of the series. You can see the notes below or download them here.
Pray that God will bless your time of fellowship in his Word.
- Does your first or middle name have any significance?
- Read together Rev. 2:18-29. What comes to mind when you hear Jesus described as "the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like burnished bronze"?
- What did Jesus commend the church of Thyatira for doing well? How did the fact that the economy of Thyatira - its tradespeople and guilds, was reliant on the worship of other gods affect the Christians there? How is this relevant today?
- Who was "Jezebel" in the Old Testament (1 Kings 16:31-33; 2 Kings 9:22)? What do you remember about her? What was this Jezebel in Thyatira doing wrong (Rev. 2:20-21)? How did Jezebel's false teaching lead people astray?
- What are some examples of false beliefs or teachings popular today? How important is sound biblical teaching to you?
- Why does God blame the church for this woman's false teaching (Rev. 2:20)? What does it mean to be more tolerant than God? What should the Thyatira Church have done? What did God threaten to do about Jezebel (Rev. 2:22-23)? What did He do first (Rev. 2:21)? What does this teach us about correcting others? How do you respond to correction?
- What does it mean to "hold fast" (Rev. 2:25)? What are you doing, and what do you believe the church needs to do, to continue to persevere until Jesus comes? What is the reward given to Christ's Conquerors (Rev. 2:26-28)? How do you feel about this?
Close in prayer for one another, praying that we will hold fast to Jesus, being careful not to be more, or less, tolerant than God.

Toughbook roll-out defended30th September 2011
The NHS provider Kirklees Community Healthcare Services has said it was right to make a decision to bring in tablet computers for staff.
Reports had circulated that problems with connectivity had caused serious issues for workers.
The organisation started to roll out Panasonic Toughbooks to staff around two-and-a-half years ago.
The Huddersfield Daily Examiner reported that the tablets had connectivity problems when they attempted to use mobile services.
The provider's chief executive Robert Flack said to eHealth Insider that there had been connectivity problems but just 1-2% of work hours had been sacrificed due to them.
He said: "The total hours lost because of a connectivity problem amount to about 277, out of a total of about 20,000 working hours, which is to be expected from any new IT implementation."
Kirklees implemented the tablet with BT but has now allowed staff to access a variety of networks.
Yesterday it dealt with a connectivity problem due to an issue with Orange's 3G connection.
However Mr Flack said this was a standalone problem and would be solved "with compensation from Orange."
He added that they had received criticism from staff who did not feel comfortable using the devices and had "over-reacted".
"We started by giving the Toughbooks to people who had put their hands up and were keen to have them, then we started giving them to people who weren't so enthusiastic. In some of those cases the reaction from those people has been over the top, it's fair to say."

2016 is going to be a huge year for movies. HUGE! DC is finally going to get the motor going on their Extended Universe with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad. Marvel is taking things bigger and more supernatural with Captain America: Civil War and Doctor Strange. 20th Century Fox is providing another Bryan Singer X-Men movie with X-Men: Apocalypse, as well as some less Hugh Jackman-centric offerings with Deadpool, and Gambit. There's going to be another Ghostbusters movie after more than a quarter century. Suffice to say there's a lot to look forward to in 2016, but a survey done by Fandango has identified the MOST anticipated movie of 2016, and that movie is Star Wars: Rogue One! There are plenty of reasons for all the hype, even aside from the success of The Force Awakens. Read on to find out what and to see what else topped Fandango's list.
As The Mary Sue reports, Rogue One is the most anticipated movie of 2016. Of course, the huge success of The Force Awakens plays a huge role in that, but that's not the only thing that has fans excited. For one thing, this movie will be the first of many that exist elsewhere in the Star Wars universe outside of the main saga of the Skywalker lineage. There's also the attachment of relatively new director Gareth Edwards. His version of Godzilla, while not groundbreaking, was critically and commercially successful and some of the grandiose visuals of scale he achieved in that movie will serve a space epic well. The cast is also extremely talented and wonderfully diverse, with Felicity Jones in the lead role and other lead actors of Mexican, Pakistani, and Chinese descent, including Donnie Yen, who will star in the upcoming Netflix-produced sequel Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny. Rogue One takes place shortly before the events of Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) and will focus on the group of rebels who steal the plans for the Death Star, which is what sets off the chain of events in the original movie.
The other top five most anticipated movies of 2016 are Pixar's Finding Dory (in which Ellen DeGeneres will reprise her role from Finding Nemo), Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the fifth Jason Bourne movie which will mark the return of Matt Damon (sorry, Jeremy Renner), and Captain America: Civil War.
What do you think about Rouge One being in the top spot? What movie are you most looking forward to in 2016?

Kyoto, Japan:
ROHM Co., Ltd. recently completed development of the BU1570KN, an adaptive image enhancer (AIE) LSI utilizing original hardware-based image processing technology. Only selected areas of images deemed too bright or too dark are corrected, significantly improving visibility and clarity. Sample shipments are available at a unit price of 1000 yen, with mass production slated to begin in December 2006 at a monthly rate of 100,000 units. ROHM's headquarters (in Kyoto, Japan) will be in charge of the primary stage of production while ROHM Electronics Philippines, INC. will be in charge of the secondary stage.
An increasing public awareness on crime prevention is making security systems incorporating cameras more popular. Cameras installed in various situations, such as intercom cameras attached to gateposts and surveillance cameras used in convenience stores, however, are subject to changes in the lighting environment, resulting in extremely poor visibility in some cases. ROHM's BU1570KN utilizes hardware-based image processing technology to raise or lower the brightness of only selected portions of the image, unlike conventional methods that uniformly raise the brightness of the entire photo. The result is a dramatic improvement in image clarity, under even the most severe lighting conditions.
Main Features of BU1570KN
- Utilizes original AIE technology (hardware-based image processing technology) that corrects each video image frame based on the lighting conditions.
- Integrates three blocks (brightness discrimination, image enhancement, and color correction) in order to correct camera images based on the AIE algorithm, optimizing performance.
- Uses the same interface for data input and output and can be easily added between the camera module and image processing block of existing systems, eliminating the need for large-scale system changes.
- Employs 0.13-µm CMOS hardware-based processing, resulting in high-speed image correction and low power consumption (15mA typ. at a core voltage of 1.5V, VGA — 30fps).
- Incorporates a color correction function for vivid image reproduction.
- Supports a wide range of cameras for home and security applications (up to 2 megapixels).

|Painful diabetic neuropathy is a common complication of diabetes mellitus which is poorly controlled by conventional analgesics. This study investigates if treatment with an heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) inducer, cobalt protoporphyrin IX (CoPP), could modulate the allodynia and hyperalgesia induced by diabetes and enhanced the antinociceptive effects of morphine. In a diabetic mice model induced by the injection of streptozotocin (STZ), we evaluated the antiallodynic and antihyperalgesic effects produced by the intraperitoneal administration of 5 and 10 mg/kg of CoPP at several days after its administration. The antinociceptive actions produced by the systemic administration of morphine alone or combined with CoPP were also evaluated. In addition, the effects of CoPP treatment on the expression of HO-1, the microglial activation marker (CD11b/c), the inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2) and μ-opioid receptors (MOR), were also assessed. Our results showed that the administration of 10 mg/kg of CoPP during 5 consecutive days completely blocked the mechanical and thermal hypersensitivity induced by diabetes. These effects are accompanied by the increased spinal cord, dorsal root ganglia and sciatic nerve protein levels of HO-1. In addition, the STZ-induced activation of microglia and overexpression of NOS2 in the spinal cord were inhibited by CoPP treatment. Furthermore, the antinociceptive effects of morphine were enhanced by CoPP treatment and reversed by the administration of an HO-1 inhibitor, tin protoporphyrin IX (SnPP). The spinal cord expression of MOR was also increased by CoPP treatment in diabetic mice. In conclusion, our data provide the first evidence that the induction of HO-1 attenuated STZ-induced painful diabetic neuropathy and enhanced the antinociceptive effects of morphine via inhibition of microglia activation and NOS2 overexpression as well as by increasing the spinal cord levels of MOR. This study proposes the administration of CoPP alone or combined with morphine as an interesting therapeutic approach for the treatment of painful diabetic neuropathy.

I'm hopeful. I really am. I didn't vote for the guy. But then again, I wasn't all that excited about the guy that I did vote for.
And yet, I'm still hopeful. I'm hopeful that this guy gets it right. I'm hopeful that this guy is as smart as I think he is. I'm hopeful that he's gathering the right people around him. And I'm hopeful that when things get really bad…he listens to those people. I'm hopeful that he makes the right decisions. I'm hopeful that he'll govern much more moderately than he campaigned. I'm hopeful that he knows in his heart that government isn't the answer for everything. I'm hopeful that he truly understands that there are times when diplomacy is not enough. And when those times come, I'm prayerful that he 'll only send our troops into harm's way when it's truly needed. I'm hopeful that the people who are so excited today realize he won't and can't fix everything. I'm hopeful that when the party dies down…they don't turn on him when things are still really bad six months from now. I'm hopeful that our country becomes a stronger nation in the next four years. I'm hopeful that maybe he'll do such a good job…….that I will vote for him in four years.
Change is a good thing, right?

Analogue revenge
I am pleased to see that paper notebooks have had something of a renaissance in the last few years. Where I used to have to slip into the stationary store and buy something designed for schoolchildren, the choice of notebooks is endless these days. And you can get them at stations, airports, supermarkets - even TKMaxx. Joe Gebbia of Airbnb claims to have written his original idea for the platform in a paper notebook.
Paper notebooks are back in vogue in the same way that we see ebook sales slowing in favour of paper again. They are more tactile, more individual, more intimate. You can doodle. You can embellish. You can create. Notebooks have become objects of desire and design. Moleskine is the obvious example, and look at my current favourites here from Penguin.
By setting a price point that's more than a normal book, Penguin et al imbue blank paper with value.
But as with all the analogue vs. digital wars, it has become clear that 'winning' comes through collaboration, through the intersections, whether it is between bricks and mortar and e-commerce, or paper and bytes. Not only are Moleskine (for example) collaborating with Evernote, but apparently on Twitter and Instagram their are whole groups dedicated to the photographing and sharing of their pen, ink and paper notebooks.

A friend of mine is in a rather unhappy place at the moment (she had a nasty fall resulting in several broken bones and now her husband is seriously ill). Her daughter in an attempt to cheer her up sent her a notebook in which she is supposed to write five good things that happen each day. To say she was fed up about it is an understatement, so I found her a different notebook. This one is titled My Bucket List only the B has a line through it, and it's been replaced by an F. She really laughed when I gave it to her and is happily filling it in. She tells me it is just for her, but I hope she lets me read it one day.

Record low cash rate underpins fall in interest payments – ABARES
27 September 2016
Over the past two decades beef farm debt has generally increased; however this has largely been underpinned by overall scale and farm value growth. According to ABARES' recently released Financial performance of beef farms, 2013–14 to 2015–16, average beef cattle farm debt has approximately doubled since 2000, to what was just over $450,000 in 2014-15.
However, overall changes in the debt to equity structure have not been as significant, indicating overall debt has increased more-or-less in line with overall scale and farm value. In addition, ABARES highlight that equity ratios are typically higher for larger farms as they are able to access and service larger debts.
While the debt to equity ratio has not significantly shifted in recent years, the cost of servicing debt has fallen, with the Reserve Bank of Australia's cash rate currently at an all-time low of 1.5%. In 2015-16, ABARES survey results indicate interest payments for beef cattle producers, as a share of total cash receipts, approached 5% – well below the ten-year average of 9% and the lowest level since 2002. The cost of interest has also been dwarfed by the significant rise in beef cattle producer cash receipts in the last two financial years.
As highlighted in this separate article, a similar trend has also occurred in the lamb industry – where overall debt has increased in line with equity, and interest payments have fallen.

We are excited to announce our newest presenter (or should I say presenters?) at our Trading Forum in Denver next month. Michele and Keith Schneider from Market Gauge will be in front of the room on Sunday with their session "Unlocking the Opening Range Edge."
They will be discussing how greatly influenced the intra-day price movement of any market is by how the market trades in the first several minutes to its opening hour. This time frame is called the Opening Range.
The power of trading with the Opening Range lies in its statistical significance and the simplicity of the trade setup. Winning consistently does not require understanding any statistics, but it does require knowing when to trade a breakout vs. a reversal.
This course will give you rules for trade entries and exits but more importantly, you will learn the essential criteria for identifying the right conditions for trading Opening Range breakouts and reversals. Understanding these key reference points and patterns leverages the statistical significance of the Opening Range, and has been proven to be the difference between success and failure for traders who trade with Market Gauge.

Today we continue our series of posts dedicated to the new watches featured at SIHH 2017. This time we're going to introduce the new Cartier Drive Extra-Flat, a watch that appealed to us thanks to its sleek design, elegant simplicity and as the name suggests, its thin size.
A stylish and thinner Cartier Drive
Far from thick conspicuous watches featuring dials packed with information, the Cartier Drive extra-flat goes back to the basics with its straightforward and subtle look. With its 39 mm white gold or pink gold case, this watch will perfectly fit classical and stylish wardrobes and would go well under a shirt and a blazer.
Only 6,6 mm thick, the Drive extra-flat went on a diet to be about 40% thinner than the first models of the range. This piece shows only what's necessary, namely a black inner minute-circle surrounded by large roman numerals, the minute and the hour hands. This version also lets go of the central guilloché section in favour of a sleeker satin-finished dial.
Minimalism and elegant subtlety
The only touch of colour on the dial are the blue sword shaped minute and hour hands, brought out by the sapphire on the octogonal crown. An attention to detail that we've come to love from Cartier. We also like the simple elegance and the thinness of this piece which makes a great difference when worn. While definitely looking like a dress watch, the Drive distinguishes itselfs thanks to the soft cushion shape of its case. We might also note, that while marketed towards men, this model would make a fine unisex watch and we definitely could see it on a woman's wrist.
Some connoiseurs might regret the absence of the small second and the date window featured on previous models, but if you are a fan of minimalism as much as we are you will probably be fine with the simplicity of this extra-flat. Also, let's not forget that this watch required a special in-house 430 MC hand-winded movement, Cartier's version Piaget's 430P. Made up of 131 parts, it vibrates at 3 hz with a relatively low power reserve of 36 hours.
Available at Cartier for $16,700 and $15,600 in white gold and pink gold respectively.

Hey, Jellynoters! My name is Hayley and I am interning with Jellynote this summer in Paris; the city of light, the city of love! I moved to Paris this summer from Michigan, USA and it has been quite the change-up. This is my first time in Europe and I've fallen in love with the architecture, rich culture, and of course…the food. When comparing Europe to America, I still can never come to a conclusion on which is better. There are just too different!
Recently, a few of us on the Jellynote Team attended Robbie Williams' concert at AccorHotels Arena in Paris. I wouldn't go as far to say that his sound is something different from American artists, but the performance I witnessed had noticeable differences when comparing to American performances.
I've attended many concerts all over America. They range in size, production value, and genre. I've seen artists like Brittany Spears who lip sync entire concerts and bands like Green Day, Journey, and Arcade Fire where their instrumental skills take control of the concert and captivate the audience. Regardless if the artist is from America or not, I noticed that there are differences in the way artists perform for a given audience.
No Lip Syncing or Vocal Tracks
Robbie Williams, who has been singing for almost 30 years now, sang every note! More often than not, American performers will add vocal tracks that they sing on top of or they will (noticeably) lip-sync along. When American artists lip-synch it is usually in order to put more into their performance or dancing. Robbie entertained the entire crowd effortlessly and still hit every note along the way. I was truly impressed. He made it about the performance, but also his voice and talent! After all, that is why people attend live performances, right?
The Stage
I've seen some extravagant stages. Kanye and Drake featuring floating stages, Kid Rock's use of fireworks and flames, and I'll never forget U2's 360° stage…that easily cost a fortune (and a half)! Robbie Williams' stage set-up was impressive in other ways. The dancers were dynamic and vibrant while the band members played with passion and intensity. American concerts often feature dancers, but I can't remember a performance where my attention lingered on the supporting dancers sometimes more than the artist himself!
Robbie was no Lady Gaga or Rihanna when it came to outfit choice; even though he wore a skirt. During the show, he changed his outfit not once, not twice, but never! Even Justin Bieber changes his outfit, on average, 4 times a show. Although I love a good outfit change, Robbie failing to impress us with lavish style and flashy garments simply demonstrated his desire to be on the stage and in front of his fans the entire time. There have been many concerts I have attended where the artist leaves the stage for 2-5 minutes, multiple times during the show, to change into another outfit. I felt that Robbie's number one concern was to ensure that his fans were entertained by him for the entirety of the show.

A man has been convicted of murder, robbery and obstruction of justice in the fatal shooting of his ex-girlfriend in southwestern Indiana.
A jury returned the verdict Monday in the case against 23-year-old Isaiah Hagan. The Evansville Courier & Press reports the second phase of Hagan's trial starts Thursday, when the jury will decide whether to recommend a sentence of life without parole.
Defense attorney Mark Phillips argued during the trial that other people could have been involved in 20-year-old Halee Rathgeber's death.
Hagan was charged in Rathgeber's April 2017 slaying. The body of the University of Southern Indiana student was found at a soccer complex. Hagan's first trial ended in a mistrial after his lawyer learned at least one juror had seen Hagan in a holding cell.

salutations in letter
Looking for someone who can offer you jobs. Quite simply, a longer letter in the right situation allows the candidate, provided the details in the letter are relevant. All letters should be read in the following paragraph. When writing a business letter, it is important to include an appropriate welcome message at the beginning. One of them is an official business letter and the other an official letter.
The choice of address format and address must take into account the addressee's place. In the greeting is informal, the signatures must also be. Greetings are among the most important elements of business communication. Greetings will be different depending on the character of the letter. The ideal greeting is specific and sets the tone for the rest of your cover letter, shows your purpose and highlights your professional application. When processing correspondence, it is important to use good greetings
Salvation is an important part of a letter. This is a greeting that you include at the beginning of a cover letter written for a job. You do not want to get along with the speech if you do not know the person well. You must decide the right message, based on your opinion and the relationship with the recipient. To begin your letter, you want the right speech and the appropriate title of the individual.
Your letter should explain what you can do to help your customers, what you sell, he explained. So, do not worry if you can not find someone to handle your letter. Before you start writing your letter, you must choose the right title. When it has something to do with writing, there is a correct and wrong method that is pretty clear about it. Letters that are not addressed to certain people. Your letter of greeting has the ability to increase your chances of getting an interview. Obviously, there are more things to understand than just signatures.
If you send a different letter, you can talk to someone in the organization or talk to an administrative assistant or a contact person for a person's name. Comparable to expert references, cover letters produce first impressions and you want to make good ones! In some cases, the cover letter may be read by the person responsible for your resume. This is an important part of the document. Your cover letter may be the first one you have to give an impression to the hiring manager, so be sure to do some research. A letter just happened. A well-written word on a page once a month is better than a sneaky four pages a week.

Finding Comfort In Food: Cheese & Spinach Quiche
I always find solace and comfort in food. Whether it be consuming the best of the best or making something from scratch, it always gives me this peace in my head. This time, I wasn't into experimenting or making something out of the ordinary. I just want to relax and whip up something that everyone would love. Something simple, I was thinking. Something that has easy ingredients. Something that can look presentable, and at the same time won't cost me so much. It's also secretly healthy in some ways because vegetables are incorporated in this recipe, with a balance of protein and fats. What can this be? Of course, it's the old recipe of the CHEESE & SPINACH QUICHE!
Read up for a step by step instructions on how to make this goody and impress your family and friends! It's also a good dish to bring to a get-together!
Now pay close attention...
1. Prepare the dry ingredients in a bowl. Cut the cold butter to cubes so it will be easily incorporated to the flour mixture on the next step.
2. Use fork to cut butter into the flour mix. You may add cold water, by the teaspoon, to form big crumbs on the dough. Keep folding until the dough is put together well. When the dough is becoming smooth in texture, you may start kneading with your hand at this point to keep the dough well-blended.
3. When the dough is smooth in texture, split it to two and form a disc shape. Wrap it with cling wrap covering the dough well and toss it in the chiller. You'd want to chill the dough for an hour to set it and give a rest for a while.
While waiting for the dough to chill in the fridge, this is your time to prepare the quiche filling. You can actually add any ingredient you want, but for this one we're using cheese and spinach!
1. Rinse your spinach in cold water, with salt if you wish. Drain afterwards. Fresh spinach is a better option than frozen ones because frozen ones usually contains more water and moisture, which will be a problem later on when baking.
2. Dice your red onion. Yes, it will make you cry like there's no tomorrow so make sure that your knife is sharp so you chop this tear-jerker fast!
3. Set aside all your ingredients you wish to include in your quiche. A neat and proper way to sort them without having to wash a lot of dishes after your preparation would be to place everything on a tray. And preparing everything will make your kitchen life much easier!
When ready, sauteé these savory delights in a pan. Things will be moving fast once your start sauteéing since we don't want to cook the veggies fully. We just want to mix all the flavors together before putting in the oven.
4. By this time, your dough is now ready. Bring it out of the fridge. Flour a surface of your preparation table and roll the dough with a floured up rolling pin. Roll it out some more if your tart dish is more that 7-inches. I'm using a 9-inch tart dish so I had to roll it out more, thus the cracked edges. (My mistake!) So I just had to spend like 10 minutes to fix the edges of the tart. Huhu!
Arrange your sauteéd filling inside the tart you just rolled out. Place the spinach and cheese evenly.
5. Pour the egg mixture over the spinach and fill the tart up to the brim. Carefully place the dish inside the oven. Emphasize on CAREFUL because this might spill! Bake for about 35 minutes.
6. Oh look at that golden brown goodness on top! The egg and melted cheese look so beautiful combined, and the tart's warm butter aroma filled the house! Just a few clicks here and there, and this dish is ready to be served!
I'm pretty pleased with the result of this tart given the tired mood I was in during that day. The egg was fluffy, the cheese melted its way in every slice, the spinach gave a little kick with the spices cooked with it. The only thing I wish I did was use a higher pan so it can hold more filling (more cheese!), and one that has smaller circumference.
What are your thoughts? What have you cooked lately and post your experience below!

This is a very in depth article that truly shows the needed thing to be published and have your book to sell in this modern time. She takes the fluff out of what so many try to tell us and makes it extremely simple to understand.
I've worked both sides of the business fence—the creative and the corporate (and continue to do so). The strange things is that all industries are facing the same challenges as our world gets smaller, more integrated, and increasingly populated with competition. All types of businesses, whether we are selling tacos, signs, t-shirts, cardboard, technology or books must answer the same questions or face extinction:
Why YOU?
Why not someone else?
What do you offer ME?
What makes you so special?
WHO ARE YOU and why do I (the consumer) care?
A Lesson from SEARS
For generations, Sears was a corporate juggernaut. Sears promised quality products at an affordable price. Then, Kmart came on the scene. So, Sears decided to get a bit fancier and more like a higher end department stores like Macy's in reaction to increasing competition.
Yet, herein grew the confusion. Those who viewed Sears as a…

Featured Bride Julia's picture perfect day.
Julia and Brad got married at one of my favourite locations in Auckland - Gracehill Vineyard Estate in Kumeu. Julia said "Brad wanted an outdoor setting and Gracehill is stunning both inside and out. We also share a huge love for food and we had heard great things about the food there." The couple chose a modern wedding theme incorporating white and silver with a touch of purple.
This is their story…
Favourite wedding day moment:
Hearing Brad's vows – he is a man of few words so he really took me by surprise.
All about the gown:
I chose the Bonny 223. I LOVED the dress , it was just perfect and I truly felt like a princess. All the staff at Astra Bridal went above and beyond and treated me as more than just a faceless customer. My favourite part of my dress was the sequin layer that glittered through in the sun – beautiful!
Why did you choose your dress?
It made me feel like a princess! I went into the store with my heart set on a totally different dress, but I saw it out of the corner of my eye and I knew it was the one.
What made your Astra Bridal experience special?
Everyone is so kind and genuine, they wouldn't try to sell you a dress that wasn't right for you. When you're inside the shop it feels like the rest of the world has just melted away and it's all about you and planning your special day.
Other than your gown what was your favourite item from your wedding?
Honestly everything was perfect right down to the smallest details, but I must say the flowers were just beautiful and really tied everything together on the day.
Advice for future brides:
Don't sweat the small stuff. Remember why you are getting married and don't let the details ruin an otherwise perfect day – not worth it.
Your wedding in one word:
Whirlwind – amazing but over in a flash.
The team that made Julia's dream wedding come together...
Gown: Astra Bridal
Bridesmaid Dresses: Juliette Hogan Emerson slip in pumice. We didn't set out to get the dresses from Juliette Hogan. We were looking for silvery grey dresses and weren't having much luck until we walked past Juliette Hogan. We got very lucky.
Mens Suits: All from Hallensteins. Brad isn't much of a suit man so he wanted something simple and affordable. It worked out perfectly.
Hair: A friend of my makeup artist – Kurtis Counsell. He did such a great job. The bridesmaids and I all got very simple low buns for the day and he made the whole experience fun and relaxing. He even cut my hair on the day to get the perfect "bits" to fall around my face – not something I would normally trust someone to do on such an important day!
Makeup: My good friend Debby Esperson. I don't usually like getting my makeup done because it never turns out how I want it, always too dark and the eye makeup too heavy, but Debby knew exactly what I was going for and did a perfect job! The morning spent with her and Kurt was so relaxed, fun and the perfect way to kick off the day.
Flowers: Judith from Judith's flowers – she read my mind about what I wanted. I made a last minute change with the table flowers (wreaths instead of a bouquet) and she brought my dreams to reality.
Location: Gracehill Vineyard Estate. In a word: perfect. Stunning grounds, beautiful reception room, the service was impeccable and the manager went out of his way to make sure we all had a great time.
Catering: The catering was done by Gracehill. The food lived up to its reputation and was delicious!
Stationery: One of our closest friends Taasha Newby designed everything herself. It was extra special having her do it for us.
Photographer: Delwyn and Rachel from the Lauren & Delwyn Project – they made us feel so relaxed from the minute they arrived. They were very organised and made everything so easy. I knew I could trust them to do an amazing job. Highly recommend them!
Celebrant: Our friend Matthew Lawrence had recently become a celebrant for his friend's wedding and we thought we'd jump on board and have him do ours too! It was nice to have someone we knew and trusted up there with us rather than a stranger. It made everything feel a lot more personal.
Cake: Felicity from the Sweet Eatery made our cake and macarons for the favours. All gluten free and amazing! She did an amazing job! For our "tastings" she sent me home with a box of 5 mini cakes and assorted containers of sauces and icings to let us find a combination that worked for us. That was awesome and not something I've ever heard of before.
