What the...EL? with Caroline Richards
This week learn what Caroline Richards loves about the Hotel Eldorado!
Who: Caroline Richards or "Sweet Caroline"
What: Front Desk Agent
Where: Grew up in Bishops Stortford, England
Why: The stress free Okanagan life
Back in England, Caroline and her husband led fast paced lives. Stemming from her education in Hospitality, Caroline worked as a Public Relations Consultant. Setting up, advertising, and bringing people together within the ideal ambiance for hotel events was all part of her daily agenda. After years of hard work, Caroline and her family decided it was time for a change.
Repeat searches for the "nicest weather in Canada," led the Richards family to the Okanagan.
"We came here for a better, less stressful life" Caroline explains.
The Okanagan weather was a huge decision factor for her family. Caroline feels they made the best choice possible as she not only values the climate but the small town feel as well.
"Summer time is always lovely," reminisces Caroline. She then fills us in on her idea of what makes her position so great:
"The Kelowna summer is a fun time, and brings a different mix of people," Caroline looks excited. She goes on to say how the hot weather brings out the nice cars, bikers, and vacationers.
Though Caroline feels she now lives a more relaxed life, her PR skills have continued to shine through in her interactions with guests. Caroline shares what she loves most about her position:
"Being there for the people, hearing all the different accents and places guests are from," describes Caroline.
If you come to the El and Caroline is working the front desk, she will be easily recognizable just look for the English lady who is always smiling. As for the song best describing her at work- Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond, no explanation needed.

FOX 32 News has teamed up with no-kill shelter PAWS Chicago to bring you an adoptable pet each week. This week, we're featuring Jenny Lynn, a six-year-old Hound mix who just wants someone to love and care for her.
Jenny Lynn is a sweetheart that loves to be with other people! Her favorite activities include, sniffing,walks and cuddling on the couch.
Jenny Lynn gets along great with other dogs and cats! She is looking for a home that can give her patience and to help her overcome some separation anxiety. She made great progress at PAWS and would benefit from continued training.
Jenny Lynn would do best in a home where someone is home most of the day to put her at ease and cuddle!

I know that there is at least one other mod out there that will allow one to forge arrows. However, mine will allow the player to forge ANY arrow in the game from Falmer to Draugr. Each arrow (except Falmer) requires firewood, fletching feathers, and an ingot of some kind (the feathers can be bought from blacksmiths). I also added the Nord Hero arrows (the ones used in Sovngarde) as a bonus. Note: this mod can also be found on the Steam Workshop, where I go by "DEVASTATOR".
I know what your thinking, and the answer is yes. I am going to shoot her.

- Period:
Pre-18th Century
- Origin:
Many Pre-Columbian civilizations created clay ocarinas (or whistles), such as this one, in the shapes of birds or animals which they played along with other percussion instruments. These ocarinas were probably initially used as bird calls for hunting and then eventually incorporated into musical ensembles. Archaeologists suggest that they were primarily used as a means to ritually connect with beings in the supernatural world. Pre-Columbian societies are depicted with a variety of musical instruments in wall paintings (such as those seen at the Mayan site of Bonampak). In addition to a number of diminutive zoomorphic whistles, drums, maracas and a stringed instrument (which sounds like a jaguar's growl) have been found at major Pre-Columbian archaeological sites.

If I see another article about near-shoring, which I expect will happen within the next few days, I may get sick. This is one of the most sensationalized stories of recent years and yet I've always been troubled by it, sensing the headline is bigger than the story.
I get more troubled when I hear from economists that they've yet to see the impact in Asia-North American trade data. I see so-called near-shoring as actually a number of trends — most still minor at this point and some important — conflated into a single headline that falsely suggests that something dramatic is going on now.
"There actually is not a lot of specific evidence of actual companies having relocated yet" to Mexico, Stifel Nicolaus analyst John Larkin observed in a conference call in May.
There is some production moving from Asia to Mexico, though in fairness, production of goods destined for the U.S. market is moving around quite a bit within Asia; there is some manufacturing returning to the U.S., though this tends to be highly automated and limited to only a few companies so far; and wrapped up in it are Mexico-U.S. cross-border transportation movements that in some cases (such as intermodal) are staggeringly high but don't represent near-shoring so much as conversion from truck to rail.
I have heard no container line suggest that its trans-Pacific volumes are eroding because of production moving to Mexico. To the contrary, as JOC Economist Mario Moreno has observed, the big ocean container trends in the Asia-U.S. market are a gradual shifting of sourcing from China to other Asian markets such as Vietnam and Indonesia. China last year accounted for nearly 47 percent of all U.S. containerized imports, down from 48.7 percent in 2010, a gradual decline that has paralleled slight increases in market share by other Asian countries.
Part of what gets people focused on the near-shoring concept is transportation data, some of which is eye-catching indeed. Since the third quarter of 2011, Kansas City Southern's cross-border intermodal volumes have seen year-over-year quarterly increases of anywhere from 59 to 106 percent. While near-shoring may be an element of this, improved security, lower costs, more reliable transit times, and more efficient border crossings are also elements — in other words, a factor of a conversion process from truck to rail that for several years has driven higher intermodal growth within the U.S. versus other modes.
And it's not as if trucking is suffering. "We would note that the trucking operators with Mexico (subsidiaries) have noted continued strength in freight volume and rates in/out of Mexico, and some are adding capacity there as a result," said David Tamberrino, a Stifel Nicolaus transportation analyst.
But at the same time, it would be unfair to say near-shoring won't be coming in a bigger way down the road. Clearly, corporate executives are fixated on the concept: the most recent Alix Partners near-shoring survey found that 84 percent of those it surveyed said decisions to bring operations closer to the point of demand were a "pretty major business priority." This is because of a need to shorten lead times and lower supply chain costs and risks. Some 40 percent of respondents said operations focused on serving the U.S. market would be relocated within two to three years.
Combine that sentiment with a new Mexico government changing the focus from fighting the drug war to the economy, and big things could indeed happen in coming years. "We see a very hungry Mexican government," AlixPartners managing director Foster Finley said in a Stifel Nicolaus conference call. He called near-shoring to Mexico "the first of several innings of a long-term trend that we would expect to continue."
Despite the Mexican government's focus on the economy, security in Mexico remains a significant concern. "The overall topic of security has continued to impede the rate at which U.S. companies or companies bringing goods into the U.S. have relocated into Mexico," Finley said.
The U.S. as a location for manufacturing is also gaining interest, because of its proximity to end-markets, stable politics (in comparison to other nations where regime change has either happened or is a possibility), rule of law and excellent transportation. Costs are high, thus a preference for automated operations. The surge in U.S. energy production and the possibility of the U.S. becoming energy-independent hold out the promise of lower energy costs, but that is still in the future.
And there is a difference between assembly and manufacturing. That is why it's not surprising to hear skeptical comments. "All the best data we have shows that this alleged phenomenon (i.e., near-shoring) is completely imaginary," said U.S. Business and Industry Council research fellow Alan Tonelson, as reported recently by my JOC colleague Mark Szakonyi.
Imaginary? I disagree, but very early stages and very gradual — yes. Gird yourself for many more headlines.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. (AP) - JaJuan Johnson scored 14 points and Marquette won its last tune-up before beginning Big East play by routing Samford, 71-48, on Saturday.
Todd Mayo and Deonte Burton had 13 points apiece for the Golden Eagles (8-5). The top four scorers came off the bench with Marquette's reserves outscoring Samford's bench 50-12.
Tim Williams scored 16 points and had nine rebounds for the Bulldogs (5-9). Raijon Kelly added 10 points.
Marquette took control of the game midway through the first half by penetrating the lane, getting fouled and making 14 of 19 free throws to lead 39-23 at halftime. Samford only made four of five free throws in the first half.
The Bulldogs never got within single digits in the second half and Marquette extended the lead to 57-37 on a dunk by Burton with 8 minutes left in the game.

GAINESVILLE -- FANS CATCH PRACTICE Session
On a beautiful Thursday evening, more than 1,000 fans came out to watch Florida's first open practice of training camp.
Freshman receiver Demarcus Robinson starred in the practice, as did defensive end Dante Fowler Jr., quarterback Jeff Driskel and freshman safety Keanu Neal. Robinson made multiple highlight catches, including a stunning one-handed grab over first-team cornerback Marcus Roberson.
"He's just got instincts in running routes," coach Will Muschamp said. "He's been pretty consistently making some vertical plays for us down the field."
Freshman cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III missed Thursday's practice with a sprained shoulder. According to Muschamp, Hargreaves sprained his shoulder during Wednesday's practice and won't be cleared for about a week.
Muschamp said tailback Matt Jones (viral infection) is improving, but there's no timetable for his return.Offensive guard Jon Halapio (torn pectoral) and defensive tackle Damien Jacobs (patella) should be cleared by game week (Aug. 25). First-team fullback Hunter Joyer (hamstring) remains out, while offensive lineman Octavius Jackson (shoulder), linebacker Alex McCalister (shoulder), offensive lineman Quinteze Williams (illness) and cornerback Jaylen Watkins (foot) are all "day-to-day."

A word from Pacific'O
Sunset dining at its best! Pacific'O is located on Lahaina's most beautiful white sand beach with panoramic views of three neighboring islands. This was the chosen residence and "playground" for Hawaiian royalty; here ancient kings and queens feasted and made merry. Today, enjoy the same pleasures in Pacific'O's open air dining room or on the romantic beachside patio. Long recognized as a leader in local, organic dining; Pacific'O was the first to establish their very own island farm. Each day the table is set with just harvested macrobiotic vegetables and fruit; and local fishermen deliver fresh fish still dripping from the sea. Pacific'O is a local favorite since opening in 1993.Continued

- macherVIPDined on 9/18/2014One of the best meals we eat in Maui! The food was cooked perfectly with a great presentation to match. The bread is awesome. You have to request it, so make sure you ask. The Maui Onion and surfing goat cheese Salad, along with the Ono and ahi tempura were superb.Special Features:
- Wonderful anniversaryMartyVIPDined on 9/9/2014We went here for our anniversary and they had a corner table ready for us. Stunning sunset. Delicious food. They brought us an anniversary card and dessert. They are the best!Special Features:
- MauiIibbyVIPDined on 9/9/2014We had guests in town from London, UK who were celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary. Pacific'O was the perfect place to have our gala dinner party! It was a completely perfect night as we dined just at the ocean's edge...so the view was spectacular as a great sunset began, followed by the array of intense colors of the afterglow. Our server, Stephen, was. Delightful and so helpful as we made our difficult decisions about whether to have the cocoanut encrusted ahi or the one and ahi duo. Such delicious dilemmas! The banana lumpia for dessert was terrific, too. You can count on us to return to Pacific'O for our next party...or even just a normal Tuesday night!Special Features:
- Repeat customerSonomalocalVIPDined on 9/7/2014Wow! what a disappointment. We are repeat customers at this restaurant and have dined there at least a dozen times and before tonight we always considered it one of our favorite restaurants. Tonight we made a 6:30 reservation expecting to watch the sunset and have a great dinner. We were seated promptly, ordered a bottle of wine and began enjoying our evening. The wine came out along with excellent bread and butter. The was the last food we saw. After being in the restaurant for an hour we asked our serve when we were going to get our first course. He was either clueless or intimidated by the kitchen staff. After another 15 minutes with no food and no explanation, we paid for our wine and left. Something is majorly wrong.Special Features:
- Almost perfectRayratVIPDined on 9/3/2014Waiter did almost everything right, even replaced a wine I didn't think was good. But he was a little bit rushed and so service and attitude suffered slightly. Overall, this is one of the best and most enjoyable restaurants on the island of Maui.Special Features:
- Oceanside charmbirdfoodDined on 8/28/2014The service was friendly and attentive. Our selections were delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedbaywesVIPDined on 8/24/2014I wanted to like this place upon seeing the menu and appreciating the setting and view. The food was only so-so and the service was only OK at best. There are 2 things I hate waiting for when I am dining, the check and for my plates to be removed. I had both of those issues here which is why I rated the service so low. Overall all the experience just wasn't great.
- FoodcrazyVIPDined on 8/15/2014Always one of my favorites. Have been coming here for the last 8-10 years and have never once not enjoyed the experience. Our server was efficient, knowledgable and attentive. No complaints here. Will be back soon!Special Features:
- Maui date nightCTFoodieDined on 8/11/2014Went for 6:30 dinner seating. Seating was near the beach. It was a little noisy at times, but not bad, due to a luau going on next door, and a larger party with children next to us. Our server was gracious and very professional. I started with the Maui Onion and surfing goat cheese Salad ($15). I'd rate it at about a 7 or 8. Not bad. For my entree, I ordered the Coconut crusted Mahi ($39). I thought this was very good, about 8.5 or 9. I really enjoyed it. Paired it with an un-oaked Chardonnay. They have a Zagat-rated wine list. No room for dessert, so I can't comment on that. Overall a good experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Dinner in paradise!YayaLisaDined on 8/2/2014The setting was magical. What a perfect place to watch the sunset and wind up a wonderful visit. The signature cocktails and appetizer were a great start to our evening. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the lamb duo and I loved the pasta with fresh ono. Next time I want to do the chef's tasting dinner, but I'll need to go hungrier! Pacific'O is a great excuse to go to Maui!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice nightOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 7/31/2014This restaurant offers a great view of the sunset, delicious food, lots of fresh vegies grown on their own farm, and good service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of our favorites on Maui21forthewinVIPDined on 7/24/2014We have been comg to Pacific'O for many years for a special night out and have never been disappointed. On our recent trip we were surprised to learn that Chef McDonald is no longer the executive Chef, but we were happy to see that several of our favorite dishes remained on the menu, although under new names. Recommend going a bit before sunset so that you can enjoy the sunset from the oceanfront dining patio. The food and service are consistently excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Vacationing in MauitravellingfoodieDined on 7/17/2014What a pleasant surprise Pacific'O was! We overheard a planner at Marriott mention this great restaurant only 2 miles away at Lahaina. We made a reservation and found a wonderful location on the beach with fantastic food, ambiance and service. I would highly recommend this restaurant for vacationers.Special Features:

- Did Not Meet Our StandardsOpenTable Diner Since 2013VIPDined on 6/20/2014The scallops were overcooked to the point of being tough and rubbery, we will not be going back.
- Wonderful View on the OceanEnjoyableVIPDined on 6/20/2014We have come to Pacific O many times thru the years while vacationing here and love the view and ambience. You can either sit outside under umbrellas or inside with still a good view. Food has always been very good here, but this time we ordered their strip loin and found it had no flavor at all and was over done. With the price we paid we were disappointed. Had a great salad with sweet onions though and very tasty bread. Will try again for lunch though since we have usually had better meals.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a wonderful eveningColorado2HawaiiVIPDined on 6/19/2014The food was superb, and view to die for. We had a terrific night feet from the beach with the sound of the waves crashing at the shore. Honestly couldn't have been better!

- DinnerdinnerDined on 6/15/2014We went for dinner on Fathers Day. The view and sunset were beautiful. We had a fantastic server, he was there to check on you all the time.. The food was over the top. We had drinks, appetizers, main meal the coffee and desert. Never felt like we were being rushed. This is our second time at this restaurant and will go again another visit.Special Features:
- Wow!AspelinDined on 6/10/2014It has been 9 years since our last visit to Pacific'o and we are so glad we came back on this trip to Maui! The best view are here so book reservations during sunset. Great locally sourced food and an extensive wine list - even a Greek wine we never see at restaurants. Also there is a Keki (kids) menu and the scenery definitely kept our son busy. Wonderful evening! We'd like to come back with a larger group and do the tasting menu with wine pairings.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Still Our Favorite Spot on MauiNancyDDined on 6/4/2014We have dined at Pacific 'O for years and it never fails to disappoint. With a new chef, the menu has been updated but the fresh fish and farm to table fresh ingredients are still the stars. I had the chicken which is probably the first time I have not had a fresh fish entree. The dish was amazing and the portion was larger than I could finish in one sitting (so I made it two and finished the next day). The staff was wonderful and service was spot on. Why go anywhere else when you know you will get great food, amazing sunset views and attentive service. Still our fav dinner place after all these years.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 331 reviews are from the Pacific'O reviews archive.
- Always a lovely dinnerfriendswholunchVIPDined on 6/2/2014The food and service are great but the view at sunset is amazing. We always make it appoint to dine here when in Maui. The fish is always fresh.Special Features:
- Always a Maui FavoriteBrandi105Dined on 5/27/2014My husband and I have been dining at Pacific'O for almost ten years on our annual Maui vacation; it never disappoints. The views at sunset are spectacular, food is amazing & unique, and the service is attentive. What I was really pleased with this trip was their wine list; it was reasonably priced and really diverse - because of that we ended up buying two bottles! I've tried most of their menu over the years; fresh fish, lamb, scallops, pasta - there isn't anything that wasn't fresh and a unique dining experience. Be sure to treat yourself next time you are on Maui!Special Features:
- Mediocre food, fab settingCarlyGDined on 5/23/2014Beautiful outdoor patio steps from the water. High priced, Faux-gourmet food. Disappointing!Special Features:
- a glorious Hawaiian nightrestaurantsnobVIPDined on 5/20/2014The food and service are only outdone by the magnificent sunset view from this wonderful place. The fish is always fresh and perfectly complimented with wonderful fresh vegetables. Tonight I started with the ceviche. It was wonderful with fresh fish and delicate flavors but a very large portion for an appetizer! Dinner was fish and greens. had to take the fih home because I was full from the ceviche but the greens were delectable.Special Features:
- Eclectic menu right on the water!OpenTable Diner Since 2013VIPDined on 5/16/2014We have come to pacific Os several times And it's never disappointed! Fabulous service and a inventive menu with the freshest fish you available anywhere on Maui makes this one of our top 3 restaurants in Maui!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ColleenDined on 5/8/2014The ambiance couldn't be more perfect. The beach and ocean are a few feet away and the sunset is spectacular to watch while dining. The food and service were excellent. It's our second time eating at Pacific'o and we will definitely be back next time we're in Maui.Special Features:
- View- view-view!!!LancezurlosmomDined on 5/8/2014Outdoor dining is spectacular, service was excellent- very attentive/ personable staff. Food was excellent- mahi mahi and ahi were cooked to perfection. Excellent wine list, - restaurant a little hidden, but worth finding!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beachfront SunsetFood4UsDined on 5/1/2014We let them know it was an anniversary and had a beach front table for the sunset. The rack of lamb and coconut macadamia mahi mahi were both excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pacific O Maui62jep44Dined on 4/30/2014The last two times we have eaten there the place seems to be going downhill......not too busy and my wife's Ono was was dry and way over cooked...this should not happen in a hi end restaurantSpecial Features:
- Beautiful LocationKier921Dined on 4/29/2014We spent our last night on Maui seeing an amazing sunset and having a very good meal. We started with the wonton wrapped shrimp that was great. I had the Coconut Crusted Mahi and my partner had the Fish and Greens featuring the local Ono. Both meals had very unique delicious flavors and I would recommend them both. We finished with the pineapple sorbet with fresh fruit and it was a perfect end to a very good meal. Our server was barely adequate and that was my only disappointment in the evening. This is a high end beautifully located restaurant and this man was not engaging or conversant. The only time he showed interest in us was when we asked a question of another waiter about our aperitif that had not matched our expectations.
- Pacific O So Good!TrollingstoneVIPDined on 4/28/2014The food was very good, the service professional and the wine list attractive but the highlight of Pacific O has to be the patio dining with an unobstructed view of the Pacific Ocean and the sunset. The fact that a Luau was happening next door to provide some entertainment was a bonus. Not inexpensive but nothing in Hawaii is. Pacific O was worth it. A very enjoyable if regrettably one time experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love itLonDDined on 4/27/2014One of our favorite restaurants in Maui, food is great, great service, great bar tenders!Special Features:
- delightful and deliciousNiqueDined on 4/25/2014Many of the restaurants on Maui that offer the views and ambience that Pacific'O does are not only expensive but also mediocre. Pacific'O, while not a bargain, provided both the ambience and excellent dining. I would happily return.Special Features:
- FreshOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 4/24/2014You can only describe the menu as fresh. Every vegetable, fish, even the edible flowers we would say were fresh. Nothing was overdone in sauces you could just taste the crisp clean flavor of the dish. I would especially recommend the beet salad, the ahi was amazing and cooked to perfection. My husband had the special fish cooked with bacon and greens and raved. Enjoy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice spot.happytrails69Dined on 4/21/2014We have dined here a few times while visiting Maui. The veggies are fresh from their local farm and the dishes are very enjoyable. Our server was very knowledgable, especially about the wine, which we appreciated. We do enjoy the food but there are nicer places to dine. It is right next to a vibrant beach area so you might watch some beach goers if you dine early. We caught a volley ball game and part of the luau going on next door.Special Features:

A new book on intellectual property in Luxembourg - 03/10/2012DOWNLOAD
Deloitte Luxembourg and Office Freylinger present their vademecum in English on the subject of intellectual property in Luxembourg. The publication is addressed to companies that perform research and development activities in Luxembourg as well as international investors that wish to establish themselves in Luxembourg.
Intellectual property is tightly linked to the competitivity and economical development of Luxembourg and the European Union. The book aims at promoting the country's numerous advantages abroad. It provides a practical guide to the key elements involved in implementing an efficient policy to manage intellectual property within a Luxembourg-based commercial company.
Thanks to a beneficial legislative and fiscal framework relating to intellectual property, Luxembourg has become a major player in this area. On the one hand, the well developed local legislation guarantees the protection of intellectual property rights, while on the other hand innovative companies receive support in the form of government incentives and a favourable tax regime.
The book's authors, Jean-Philippe Bill and Bernard David (Deloitte Luxembourg) with Pierre Kihn and Olivier Laidebeur (Office Freylinger), have divided their analysis into 7 sections:
"Intellectual Property in Luxembourg" contains a foreword of the Minister of the Economy and Foreign Trade, Etienne Schneider, and is now available at the recommended retail price of €70.00 in all specialised bookshops or can be purchased directly from the publisher, Promoculture-Larcier, at www.editions.larcier.com

This Minute at Runco
Showroom Triple-PlayWednesday, April 14, 2010
Posted By Jennifer B. Davis
New showroom opening, clients and partners, combined with an impressive showing from the consumer electronics press to create a fantastic event at the Runco Dealer, S.E.A.L. Solutions showroom in Long Island, New York on April 8th. Not only did they roll out a new showroom for their clients and partners, but Chris Wylie also was able to preview a new collection of theater designs and accessories from the legendary, charming, and inspirational, Theo Kalomirakis from TKTheaters. The theater installed in the showroom was made complete with a Runco QuantumColor Q-750 complete with a CineWide and Autoscope set-up for the viewing of video content in a wide variety of formats.
It was my pleasure to introduce Theo and help introduce the packed house to the possibilities in their homes. I was reminded of Chris' fine work on Liam Neeson and the late Natasha Richardson's media room, where Chris' design transforms their space from a family room, to entertaining space, to theater with ease. It was heartwarming to hear stories of how the talented and lovely Natasha made the installation team peanut butter and jelly sandwiches since she was afraid they were working too hard and might be hungry. Runco and everyone who knew her still mourn her tragic, accidental death.
My favorite question of the night was from one of the videographers on hand who took me aside to ask my advice. "Do you have products just for dedicated theaters, like the one here, or are there other options? What do I do if I don't have the space or budget for a theater?" To which I responded, "In that case, you do the same thing that you would do if you wanted and could afford a dedicated theater…you call an authorized Runco dealer, like Chris, who can advise and design a system that meets your needs, your standards, and your budget." Whether your room has lots of natural light and high ceilings or if it is a window-less basement with fixed concrete walls, every space can present design and technical constraints and our dealers are ready and capable of designing solutions.

The Value of a Home Theater is ImmeasurableMonday, April 05, 2010
Posted by Jennifer Davis
While it is difficult to assign a specific, formulaic resale value to a home theater addition, the true benefit is in the experience: the comfort and convenience a theater provides. Plus, having an impressive theater adds the "wow" factor needed to attract buyers in certain real estate markets so that they can imagine living and entertaining in the space. "A home theater certainly adds value," says Valerie Marques of Scottsdale-based VM Concept Interior Design Studio"and that value depends on the quality of the components they choose, and having a great design."*
As Runco clients will attest, the value of a home theater might just be summarized best in the memories, movie moments, and the lifestyle that it creates for current and future owners. To see if a home theater is right for your home (and you may be surprised by the possibilities), contact a Runco dealer.
*As quoted in the March 2010 edition of Alaska Airlines Magazine in an article by Jenny Quill entitled "Enhancing Your Home: The best design combines create comforts and greater resale value."

H1N1 Chinese Medicine Treatment Video
I won't be linking to the video itself, but to the website http://english.cctv.com/program/newshour/20091126/103083.shtml. Here is the caption from the article:
With growing numbers of A/H1N1 flu cases on the Chinese mainland, many more people are turning to traditional Chinese medicine.
China has released a TCM prescription to prevent A/H1N1. Honeysuckle (shown in picture – Philip) and mulberry leaf are on the list. Both of them are common herbal medicines used to treat influenza. But their price has doubled recently.
Health officials say the sudden surge in demand has triggered the price rise, and heavy snow in the past few weeks has hampered deliveries. They say herbal medicines are just one way to prevent flu. People are advised to go to community hospitals if they suffer flu-like symptoms.
Honeysuckle and Mullberry leaves have been used since the time of Zhang Zhongjing and his Shang Han Lun (treatise on cold induced disorders) but I believe the honeysuckle achieved prominent status in the later Warm Disease School of Wu Jutong and Ye Tianshi et al.
Incidentally, I read in business news that garlic prices have gone up by as much as 40% in some areas. Garlic is warm and pungent so I believe it is better for external Cold and seasonal flu, while the cooling Honeysuckle may be better in high fever diseases such as epidemic fevers and H1N1.

LANSING, MI (WTVB) - Governor Snyder has signed legislation designed by Republican House member Ken Kurtz of Coldwater that will make it easier for families to make arrangements for deceased family members across state lines, by giving funeral directors authority to participate in document signing and removal and transportation of the deceased in states with similar laws. Right now that includes Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin.
Kurtz says when people put their trust and confidence in them to care for their loved ones, they should be able to get it done in a manner that keeps the respect that they would enjoy. Kurtz is a Pastor and a Funeral Director by trade who owned three funeral homes.

A 21-year-old man has been arrested for an attempted robbery at an apartment building near the University of Maryland campus, Prince George's County police said.
Demonte Antonio Spearman, of College Park, was interviewed by detectives on Wednesday and admitted to the crime, police said.
On Jan. 27, Spearman allegedly entered an apartment building in the 8100 block of Baltimore Avenue in College Park and approached a University of Maryland student who was in a common room. The suspect took out what police believe was a fake handgun, and he demanded the student's computer, police said.
The victim refused to hand over his computer, and he tried to fight off Spearman, police said. A witness tried to break up the fight, and the would-be robber ran away. The victim and the witness were not injured.

It would be nice to hear Romney respond to any possible Birther questions from the media with something like...
"when I move into the White House the new attorney general will initiate a thorough and complete investigation in order to clarify to the American people that Barack Obama was indeed eligible and was the legitimate President of these United States. Such an investigation is only fair to not only President Obama and his legacy but also to the American people. I'm sure that the results of this investigation will provide proof that President Obama was indeed legitimately the President of the United States.
However, if by some chance the accusations turn out to be correct, there is a promise that anybody in Congress whether they be republican or democrat will be legally held accountable and justice will be served for any wrong doing and illegal activity. Let that be a warning to the leaders of Congress who have taken the oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America."
These leaders have received packages and copies of affidavits so they do know what's being alleged. These candidates and our congressmen need to know that this is no longer a missing Birth Certificate issue but forgery and also possible fraud regarding the social security number(s) of Barack Obama.
This message will most likely prompt some to start taking action so that when the new President comes in they will not be caught with their pants down and possibly face jail time.

Why big companies are axing jobs
The recent spate of layoffs has more to do with the last recession than any new one that's brewing.
By Rick Newman, U.S. News & World Report
Is Bank of America (BAC) a White House prop?
As if on cue, the struggling financial giant announced it would lay off 30,000 workers just as President Obama began a barnstorming tour to lobby for his $477 billion jobs plan. Obama wants Washington to help keep teachers, cops and construction workers on the job, and hasn't said much about helping laid-off bankers.
Yet the B of A cuts seem to underscore the whole economic problem Obama is battling, especially since the bank's woes stem from mortgage defaults and other Main Street borrowers who can't repay their loans.
Five-digit layoff announcements were a regular feature of the Great Recession, especially in 2009, when it seemed like every big employer in America was scouring its payroll for scalps.
Now, there are worrisome signs of a second wave of corporate bloodletting.
The U.S. Postal Service just announced plans to slash its workforce by 35,000. British bank HSBC (HBC), which has a strong U.S. presence, is axing 30,000 workers. About 11,000 people are losing their jobs as the Borders bookstore chain liquidates. Even Goldman Sachs (GS) is trimming its gilded work force by 1,000 or so.
A return of large-scale layoffs would certainly suggest that a double-dip recession is imminent. The economy is barely growing, with unemployment stuck at 9.1%. The debt problems in Europe seems to be getting worse, not better, with investors girding for a Greek default that might trigger a financial crisis.
Here in the United States, Congress wrecked confidence over the summer with threats of a U.S. default, then produced an underwhelming debt-reduction plan that led to America's first-ever credit-rating downgrade.
Economists repeatedly warn that such a fragile economy is highly susceptible to shocks -- like a few big job-cut announcements.
If there's any good news about those headline layoff announcements, it's that they don't reflect new problems in the economy. Instead, they're the result of longstanding struggles, bad business decisions and the basic fact that some companies are always falling behind the competition.
Post continues after video:
Bank of America has become the nation's Big Money poster-child for one main reason: The disastrous acquisition of Countrywide Financial in 2008, which may have been the worst business deal of all time.
In addition to billions in losses on bad mortgages that Countrywide wrote, B of A also faces a mountain of litigation over suspect underwriting and fishy foreclosures. It may face additional losses if the European debt crisis causes a cascade of bank write-downs.
Many analysts believe B of A has not fully accounted for all the losses it faces, which has led to a plunging stock price and urgent cost-cutting.
The European debt bomb, and all the possible ramifications, are a relatively new risk to the U.S. and global economies, but most of Bank of America's problems date to the subprime crisis of several years ago.
It's no surprise that it's taking this long to work off the hangover. The bank bailouts of 2008 and the Federal Reserve "stress tests" of 2009 were intended to stabilize a banking sector on the verge of implosion, but nobody thought they would vaporize a vast amount of losses overnight. Recovering from a financial crisis takes years, and B of A's current woes are part of a long deleveraging process.
The same goes for HSBC, Goldman and many other financial firms that are downsizing. They may not have liabilities as severe as Countrywide, but they are still struggling with constrained profits, new regulations and a tough environment for making money.
It would be nice if a booming recovery flooded their coffers with cash and washed away all the sins of the last decade, but reality is less magical. Still, these job losses are really due to the last recession, not to a new one that's brewing.
The postal service has been reeling for years, and job losses there are also due to longstanding factors that have little to do with today's economy.
Over the years, Congress has given the USPS more independence than a typical government agency -- but not nearly enough to function the way a true corporation would. So while it's supposed to be self-funding, financing its operations through its own revenue, the postal service remains thoroughly shackled when it comes to innovating, closing underperforming branches and reforming its pension and healthcare plans to make them more affordable.
And of course it's rapidly losing business as consumers shift from physical to digital communication. Over the last five years, the USPS has lost about $20 billion and cut its work force by nearly 150,000. But it continues to bleed money, so the jobs cuts continue.
Borders, which declared bankruptcy earlier this year, is a casualty of rapid technological change and its own strategic missteps. Earlier in the decade, the bookstore chain took on a lot of debt to finance retail expansion, when it should have been focusing on the digital marketplace and the threat posed by online giants such as Amazon (AMZN).
The recession amplified Borders' debt problems, but by then the company had already made the wrong bet at a crucial juncture. It was the same story with video-rental chain Blockbuster, which declared bankruptcy in 2010 and spent 2011 closing hundreds of stores.
Other big firms that have announced major layoffs this year, such as Merck (MRK), Pfizer (PFE) and Cisco Systems (CSCO), are retrenching due to mergers, strategic misalignment or competitive pressure. The weak economy hasn't helped, but those companies would probably be forced to slash costs and payrolls even in a vibrant recovery.
The pace of layoffs, in fact, has been one of the few bright spots in 2011. Placement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas, which tracks layoffs, says firings so far this year have been at the lowest level since 2000, which was the last truly strong year for the U.S. economy.
Part of the reason layoffs have tapered off is that companies fired so many people in 2008 and 2009, with many companies now pushing their remaining workers to the limits of their productivity.
The real problem isn't layoffs, it's lack of hiring and a paltry pace of new-business creation. That does reflect concerns about the weak economy and the possibility of another recession, since companies don't want to take workers on if they might have to let them go in a few months. But for now, most companies are holding on to the workers they've got.
Now, if they'd only embrace a few new ones.

The Mystery of Edwin Drood [DRG]
I found The Mystery of Edwin Drood — Rupert Holmes' fanciful adaptation of Charles Dickens' final, unfinished novel — exuberantly refreshing when I first encountered it on a balmy August evening in 1985 at the Delacorte in Central Park. I found it slightly more polished but less brilliant that December, indoors at the Imperial. A quarter of a century later, the show returned to town last November. This time around, I found the show — extended through March 10, at Studio 54 — enjoyable and satisfactorily entertaining, which is a far cry from my enthusiastic visits in 1985.
Is this caused by the "repeated visit syndrome," which holds that delightful surprises will seem less delightful and less surprising with each viewing? Perhaps, although I am typically not prone to this malady. I've recently paid numerous visits to One Man, Two Guvnors; The Book of Mormon and Once, with no diminishment whatsoever. Although it could be that Drood is more dependent on gimmicks, which once revealed lose their luster.
A second possibility has to do with the level of performance and performers. The original production was thoroughly sparkling. Joe Papp and his Shakespeare Festival had struck gold in 1980 with a swashbuckling, new-style production of Gilbert & Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance, which similarly coursed from the Delacorte to Broadway and left no audience-member without a broad smile. While Penzance and Drood were quite different in any manner of ways, the latter seemed infused with the same exhilaration of the former due to the presence of the same director and choreographer (respectively Wilford Leach and Graciela Daniele). Scott Ellis and Warren Carlyle have done a winning job with the new Roundabout edition, but it never quite seems to rise to the heights of the original.
The same can be said for the performers. Jim Norton (as the munificent Chairman), Will Chase (as the overwrought John Jasper), Jessie Mueller (as the mysterious Helena Landless), and Andy Karl (as the hotheaded Neville Landless) stand out, among a generally fine group. But for me, the original performers — George Rose (Chairman), Patti Cohenour (Rosa Bud), Howard McGillin (Jasper), Cleo Laine (Princess Puffer), and Betty Buckley (Edwin Drood) — inhabited their characters in a manner that this new cast doesn't, not in this production.

The Minnesota Twins were, yet again, sellers at the trade deadline during the 2014 Major League Baseball season. Not surprising considering how pitiful the Twins were coming out of the All-Star break.
The two trades the Twins pulled off, Kendrys Morales to the Seattle Mariners and Sam Fuld to the Oakland Athletics, was a bit surprising when you consider they werent the two players many people thought Minnesota would ship off to another team.
Catcher Kurt Suzuki, who was thought to have been going to either the Baltimore Orioles or the St. Louis Cardinals, signed a contract extension that runs through 2016, with a vesting option for 2017.
You also had Josh Willingham who was thought to have been trade bait. Im sure the Twins were only going to be able to pull up old shoes and tires from the trade market with Willingham as their bait. His 2014 season, which sees him hitting .223/.366/.436, has been marred by bad hitting and injuries.
What the Twins will now look to do is bring up young prospects between now and the end of the season, which will hopefully instill optimism in not only the fans, but the rest of the organization.
Here is a list of the top 3 prospects I see the Twins potentially calling up before the end of 2014.
3. Kennys Vargas
The reason he is number five is because he already has been called up. Be excited Twins fans. Be very excited. Here is a short video package I did on Vargas from down in Fort Myers, Florida during Twins Spring Training.
So far this year in AA New Britain, Vargas has hit 17 homers and drove in 63 RBIs while hitting .281/.360/.472. The problem with Vargas is where does he play? First base is a little bit clogged up with that Mauer dude and putting him at DH would mean a guy like Willingham or Oswaldo Arcia would have to play as a corner outfielder. Not pretty.
In any regard, Im as excited as you are that he is up and playing for the big club. What? Youre not excited? Dont talk to me. I have no respect for you. Kennys KENNYS VARGAS IS THE TRUTH!
2. A.J. Atcher
A relief pitcher for AAA Rochester, Atcher has been nothing but money for the Twins in the minors. Drafted out of Michigan State University in 2010, Atcher has a 2.39 ERA with a .911 WHIP in 52.2 innings pitched this season.
The only thing that would worry the Twins from calling him up would be the fact that he had a procedure on his elbow last year. Otherwise, I wouldnt be surprised to see this guy show up at the Bigs before long, especially if the Twins start putting some relievers through trade waivers.
1. Trevor May & Alex Meyer
Yes, I know I put two here. Stay with me. These two are the crown jewels of the Twins pitching prospects. Both acquired in trades last season, May and Meyer have been successful at AAA this season.
May has an 8-5 record with a 2.72 ERA in 89.1 innings thrown, while Meyer is 6-4 with a 3.05 ERA in 106.1 innings pitched. The Twins are reluctant to bring these two up because. I dont know. Your guess is as good as mine.
Dont expect the Twins to keep them down at AAA much longer. I would say May and Meyer will make an appearance in either late August or early September.
The list may be short now, but come this time in 2015, you will be hearing names like Byron Buxton and Miguel Sano. Those two are the future and the hope for the Twins. Big emphasis on hope.

Being a plus sized lady means that fashion can be incredibly limited. The tshirt selection is abismal. So either you wear a plain tshirt or you get crafty dammit! I absolutely love this beaded sleeve DIY - it's simple yet bright and colourful. You can follow this design or make your own - then get to sewing and creating your own beaded masterpiece!
Rib Cage Tshirt | The Perks Of A Girl
This might be the easiest tshirt makeover ever - all you need is a top, the template, a pen and scissors. If you're not keen on showing the world your back, layer it over a singlet or dress - maybe a floral cami and a plain rib cage tshirt for a bit of girly edge!?
Jersey Weave Sweatshirt | The Forge
I'm pretty sure if you found something like this in Anthropologie it would be upwards of $50! I really like this, mainly because you can't find nice sweatshirts anywhere. Plus - no sewing!
Scranton Tshirt | Valerie Kiser
Most of you probably know Scranton from The Office - I know Scranton because I actually visited it! Did I ever tell y'all that I lived in the USA for a while? I must have. Anyway, I lived in the tiny town of Floyd (which is just out of Rome, which was not far from Syracuse!) and we went on a lotof road trips. I have to say, if I ever moved to America permanently I would live in Penn state. It's a beautiful area (plus so close to NYC!). Seeing that probably won't happen in a long time, I think I'll buy this awesome tshirt instead as a way to show my love!
Sequin Trompe L'Oeil Peter Pan Collar Top | Chic Steals
Chic Steals always has the coolest tshirt DIYs, and this one is no exception! What a cute way to dress up a plain tee - and as my cousin Laura stated loudly tonight 'IT SMELLS LIKE SUMMER!', so short sleeve weather is quickly coming to get me. And if I have to face it, I'll face it in adorable tee shirts!
Watercolour Kitten Tee | Chic Steals
Everywhere I look, there's pastels, pastels, pastels! And yep, I'm loving it. I've seen tees like this selling for $50+ in stores, but this way is much easier and more customisable. I've never heard of Deco Ink Effects paints, but they look amazing to use (and they're what gives this DIY it's watercolour effect!)
Doily Tshirt | By Hand London
As expressed in may a post before, I love doilies, especially in fashion. I've seen lots of tops with the doily sewn onto the front, but I love this idea of sewing it onto the back with it open. A perfect top for Summer and even better as cover up for the beach!
Aztec Printed Shirt | P.S. I Made This
This DIY reminds me of potato printing when I was little! What an easy and cool way to decorate a plain tshirt. Fabric paint can be a little bit pricey so if you're trying to keep costs down, get just the primary colours and mix them up!
Rosette Shirt | Ruffles & Stuff
This is another of those looks-hard-but-is-actually-quite-easy DIYs that I'm pretty sure I could whip up in an hour! Straight line sewing is my forte and the combination of tulle, cotton and the pretty colours is perfect for everyone.
Shredded Tshirt | Pretty Quirky Pants
So this DIY isn't for everyone, but I know there are a few of you who would love this so that's why I'm sharing it! Basically you cut off the bottom of the tshirt and then pull the threads. Pretty Quirky Pants not only has the tutorial but there is a great YouTube video for those of us who need a little bit more help. Perfect for those Summer days when you want a bit more coverage, and even better for taking with you to the beach or pool as a cover up!
Notebook Lined Tee | Say Yes! To Hoboken
Well Summer holidays are almost over (well, here anyway!) so I thought there might be some folks out there who would like to make this for a little one who will be going back or even starting. My niece starts school this year - yikes! I feel so old. In fact, I would probably wear this tshirt too. You could even write something on the shirt. Cute!
Heart Printed Tshirt | Internodiciotto
You know when you see something and you think, 'oh my gosh why didn't I think of that?'. This is such a cute idea - a plain tshirt, some fabric paint and a stamp and you've got your own printed top! You can make your stamp (look through my older posts for tutorials) or try the very sweet and cheap stamps from Nora Jane. I would love a feather stamped tee!
'Artsy' Tee | Ruffles & Stuff
Confession time: When I was younger, I would purposely leave paint on my hands/arms/legs/face to appear more 'artsy' and 'bohemian'. People probably thought I was just really bad at washing myself in the shower. But to me it was like a form of self-expression/baiting, 'I paint, and I want you to know it (and ask me about it, come on, ask me!)' Some people might see this tee and think 'what a poser' but I love it. And the fact that you have more control over how your 'paint spattered tee' looks than if you did it accidentally makes it easier to wear. Because my real painting clothes are old giant oversized tshirts with hand prints and weird holes from where I accidentally cut too far and snipped myself. Not exactly fashionable. I'm going to make this tshirt and wear it proudly. And if you see me wearing it, ask me about it! Come on, ask me!
Super Easy Square Top | Cotton & Curls
I know what you're thinking - yeah right, 'super easy'! Well I promise, this is super easy! All it takes is a little measuring and about six seams. I'm seeing a lot of billowy, floaty tshirts around right now so making your own means you could probably make yourself a couple for the same price as one in the stores. Plus: who doesn't like a comfy, oversize tshirt? They're made for Summer weekends!
Ombre Shirt | Cotton & Curls
If it's got ombre in the title, you know I'll hunt it down! I'm not sure why I'm so taken with this DIY but I really love it. Maybe it's the combo of stripes/grey/orange? I'm a bit obsessed with the old stripes at the moment (so y'all know it's good that they're in fashion right now!) If you've got a tshirt that's a bit dingy or stained around the bottom (or even the top - you can top dip!) this is a great makeover.

$3.33 a day: Update
I am still going to stick to my $3.33 a day budget. I pretty much have to.
I've been eating a lot of salads and out of my freezer. The above is my sesame beet salad with wasabi dressing. So delicious.
I made us brunch yesterday... tvp sausages, sauted apples and brown rice pancakes.
BIG SALAD! I've been eating a huge salad every day before work. The dressing here was a raw fat free carrot/tomato/ginger/habanero concoction. So spicy and delicious.
Shan tofu with collard greens...
Noodle bowl...
Veggie burger with caramelized onions and strawberry/habanero ketchup on a homemade gluten free english muffin (made from brown rice flour)...
I have a stash of frozen bananas and baby spinach at work for green smoothies.. they are the perfect thing to drink to refuel!
I will probably not be posting as much for the next month or so while I get used to my new schedule. I don't get home until midnight at the earliest.. I have a 2 hour round trip commute (Damn traffic!)... I am sooo thankful to the Portsmouth library for having such an awesome selection of books on CD.
I am so behind on reading your blogs. I miss everyone!

$3.33 a day: Raw
I also started my new job this week. We had our pre-opening party Friday which went really well and we are officially open for business on Wednesday!
I've been eating a lot of raw food and eating out of my freezer. I haven't been taking a lot of pics though. The above food was a delicious wasabi daikon and cabbage slaw. I just can't get enough daikon.
Raw Eggless Salad
3 c cauliflower, pulsed in food processor
½ c sunflower seeds soaked for 4 hours, drained then pulsed in food processor
1 c diced celery
1 c shredded carrots
½ c scallions or 2 T diced red onion or shallot
½ c nutritional yeast
2 t dried sage
1 T dried dill
1 T dried parsley
½ t garlic powder
¼ t turmeric
4 T tahini
4 T yellow mustard
2 T Dijon mustard
4 T relish
1 T chia seeds
1 t black salt (or sea salt)
½ -1 t black pepper
½ c water
Pulse the cauliflower in processor and set aside in large mixing bowl. Pulse the sunflower seeds, and add to the cauliflower. Add the celery, carrots and scallions and nutritional
yeast and spices (not the salt or pepper).
In a small bowl add the tahini, mustard, relish, chia seeds, salt and pepper along with ½ c water. Whisk well and pour over the veggies. Taste and adjust seasonings. Allow
mixture to chill for an hour before serving.
This actually keeps for around 3 days and does not get watery because of the chia seeds.
The corn tortilla is a recipe I'm still playing around with. It's ALMOST to my liking. I don't like most raw breads or crackers very much. I feel like they get a strange taste from the dehydrator. The first bite or two are fine, but then they start tasting kind of gross to me. Am I the only one who feels this way?
God, I am just IN LOVE with grapefruit.
On Monday, I did a mini fast like thing. I drank 2 quarts of green juice and ate only fruit and veggies (with NO SALT ADDED AT ALL). I am going to try to do this once a week.
Hope everyone is having a good week! I'll try to visit your blogs!

$3.33 a day: RawFu Magazine, YOU can eat this way too.
Oh how simple things have been lately foodwise. This was a spring veggie chowdah.. I used cauliflower, corn, potatoes, zucchini, quinoa and some cheese sauce I made from whole soy beans. It was spicy and delicious. Quinoa is such a versatile ingredient.
I want to address some comments and emails I've been getting about the produce I use.
First, most of it is not organic. I wish I could afford to eat a 100% organic diet, but I can't. (and won't be able to any time soon even though I have a job. I still have to stick to my budget of $3.33 a day)..
I am not going to get into debate about organics. I know they are better for me, my family and the environment and I buy as much organic as I can afford. Period.
I live in Portsmouth, NH and do the majority of my shopping at Market Basket (I swear, they should pay me to be a spokesperson!)... Their prices are almost half as much as I would pay at Shaws or Hannaford.
Every week, I look at the grocery store circulars to see where the deals are. For instance, a $1.99 pineapple is RARE and not an everyday price. Most circulars will advertise their "loss leaders" on the front page. Those are items that they lose money by selling, but will draw you into their store. Most of the time, I would not go out of my way to a market based on ONE loss leader. I need at least 3 items to make me go to that store and I only the amount of cash I want to spend on those items.
If I shopped at Shaws or Hannaford as my GO TO markets, the produce and my entire grocery bill would be twice as expensive. There ARE deals out there, but you have to look for them. I have taught many cooking classes and the people who come will say they don't like to shop and this or that store because it isn't as "nice". My response to that is, well then don't complain about prices. Also, if you enjoy higher priced items then you have to adjust the rest of your food to incorporate them. I will have a couple meals that put me over my daily total. I make up for them by eating a pot of lentil soup or kale salad for many meals. It is worth it to me. If I "splurge" on 5 oz of organic arugula you can bet your ass I will be eating cabbage salads for several days to make up for that.
It really isn't that hard to reduce your bill as long as you are willing to take some time to find deals, cook from scratch and think outside of the box.
I whip up the majority of our meals with less than 30 minutes of prep time. I cook once and freeze leftovers. I usually cook up two lbs of dried beans a week for our protein source and keep them in the fridge (after freezing 2 cup portions) along with 2 whole grains.
Let's say one week I cooked up 1 lb of black beans, 1 lb of lentils, 1 lb of brown rice and 1 lb of bulgur.
Meals I can make in 30 minutes:
Indian Spiced Lentils over Brown Rice, Kale Salad
Chipotle Citrus Black Bean Soup, Corn Muffins, Salad
Lentils over Bulgur with Green Goddess Dressing and Caramelized Onions, Salad
Black Bean Hummus, Tabouli, Steamed Veggies
Black Bean and Rice Burritos with fresh pico and guacamole
Lentil Soup with Bulgur, Salad
Burgers made from all of the leftovers, coleslaw
My meals always leave enough for my lunch the next day or I will turn the leftovers into a soup or burger.
It is NOT hard or difficult to eat this way... so don't let anyone make you believe it is!!

I am still going to do my $3.33 a day budget because I will still be on a tight budget and I need to save as much as possible...

I had hoped to have my Ebook ready to go, but it is taking much longer than I anticipated. My limited budget has been a roadblock to testing the recipes... but I am still working on it.. but at this point, it probably will be a couple more months. I'm going to be VERY busy over the summer with work... Right now, I'm just testing and refining the recipes... the majority of them are written.

The kids understood that Christmas would be very different this year. We had a nice family meal together, but as a single parent it makes it tough to know that Evergreen Helicopters owes my family money and they continue to dump money into a failing airline and hiding money across the street at Del Smith's personal "Disneyland". What a shameful company!
