text: You can't keep a good anthology down. That's certainly true of any short story collection put together by award-winning editor Ellen Datlow, including The Best Horror of the Year, Volume One, just out on Kindle. The book's been out in print for a while (the Year in question is 2008) but this is the first time it's been available in this particular electronic form. So if you're a fan of ebooks and missed it first time around – or if you're a completist who simply must own every available edition – now's your chance to catch up. The Best Horror of the Year, Volume One contains 19 horror stories, one of which is my creepy-weird detective yarn Girl in Pieces, which was described by Locus as "a magnificent urban fantasy giddy with hardcore horror imagery". Reporting on the anthology as a whole, Locus said: "Most [of the stories] are by writers whose names will be instantly recognized by the majority of horror readers, but some of the contributors are relative unknowns whose presence suggests new and emerging talents that are crucial for keeping any type of fiction fresh." Here's the complete table of contents: Cargo — E. Michael Lewis If Angels Fight — Richard Bowes The Clay Party — Steve Duffy Penguins of the Apocalypse — William Browning Spencer Esmeralda — Glen Hirshberg The Hodag — Trent Hergenrader Very Low-Flying Aircraft — Nicholas Royle When the Gentlemen Go — Margaret Ronald The Lagerstatte — Laird Barron Harry and the Monkey — Euan Harvey Dress Circle — Miranda Siemienowicz The Rising River — Daniel Kaysen Sweeney Among the Straight Razors — JoSelle Vanderhooft Loup-garou — R.B. Russell Girl in Pieces — Graham Edwards It Washed Up — Joe R. Lansdale The Thirteenth Hell — Mike Allen The Goosle — Margo Lanagan Beach Head — Daniel LeMoal The Man From the Peak — Adam Golaski The Narrows — Simon Bestwick

A damaged nail that no longer grows properly can be replaced painlessly with nail prosthetics for aesthetic reasons (placement of an 'artificial' nail).
This is especially practical in the summer when our feet are more exposed and visible, as it serves for corrective, as well as beauty purposes. In our centre, we have been performing nail prosthetics under the guidance of an experienced podiatrist for many years.
On the right, there is an example of a middle-aged customer who suffered a serious injury to her toenail five years ago. The toenail was then surgically removed and the new toenail started growing improperly and looked unaesthetic.
This customer opted for nail prosthetics which we successfully performed at the An.nika Medical Pedicure Centre, as shown in the second figure.

Today is Thursday and it's time to link up with Jen at Ramblings of a Suburban Mom…
I am totally cool with Elissa getting MVP 3 weeks in a row, keep them coming! … I almost even voted for her, until I realized I had to sign in or something and that was too difficult on my kindle. If Elissa wins this whole season…. and being MVP helped her… I don't care either. Merica is choosing Elissa sooooo if she wins that's fine.
Did anyone else think it was hilarious/weird that Ginamarie carried around a pair of redshorts to cry/blow her nose into after Nick left? Oh, and did you think it was hilarious/weird that she was acting this way after knowing Nick a couple weeks?
I have all of Teresa Giudice's books (secret: I haven't made anything from her books). But I am dying to get them signed by her. She has signings all the time but mostly in New Jersey. Come on Tere come to a book store near me! Maybe that should be in my totally trying August edition – to actually make one of Teresa's recipes.
I was thinking of getting this headband – since Spencer Hastings wore it on PLL… and it's $14 at Urban Outfitters…. but I didn't….
Lastly, I want Melissa Gorga's sweater from last episode to lounge in. I read that it is or is very similar to Victoria Secret Pink Longsleeve V Neck Raglan Top. I need to look into this.

Traveling is one of the most amazing ways to spend your holidays, especially if you are a gambler and spend time on CasinoChan. Why? Because casinos are located worldwide, and some of them are great if you're looking for something unusual. These are the most unique casinos in the world.
Desert Cave, Australia: Slots and a Hotel in Underground Caves
Desert Cave Resort was built in 1988 in Coober Pedy. The town, located in the desert, attracted hunters for opal. It is a precious and wonderfully-looking mineral. People worldwide use it for jewelry.
Residents of Coober Pedy were building dugouts instead of houses because of the strong winds and high temperatures. So, Umberto Coro decided to establish his casino not on the surface but inside a huge sandstone on the slope of the main street. This decision made the Desert Cave resort complex the most popular in Australia.
Inside the casino, located in the middle of the desert, there are 16 poker machines, a bar, and a restaurant. Guests of Desert Cave are also offered to rent one of the underground rooms, swim in the underground pool, or visit the store selling souvenir opals and jewelry with precious stones.
Jet Lounge, France: A Bird's Eye View Gambling Experience
French company Airjet Designs designed an air casino based on a Boeing 777. A miniature gambling house is placed in the front of the aircraft. Inside the casino, there are tables for card games. During the flight, the Boeing 777 would tilt in different directions. So, the results would be unreliable.
Gambling in the air casino will be conducted during the flight. During takeoff, landing, and turbulence, the gambling house is planned to be closed for passenger safety. Visitors to the casino will be able not only to play poker but also to order drinks at a local bar and talk to each other in a special space for small-talk.
Tickets to the plane casino are not only available to VIP customers. Admission is open to any player willing to wager about £30,000.
Sun City Resort, South Africa: Luxury Vacations and Safaris
Sun City Resort Casino, located 2 hours from Johannesburg, South Africa, offers visitors three types of gambling. Visitors can play roulette, card tables, and slot machines.
The luxury complex also hosts shows, water activities, and golf tournaments. Yet, that's not why it made the list of most exotic gambling houses.
The tourist area is built next to the Pilanesberg Reserve. Sun City Resort guests can watch African animals from the hotel and casino windows. For the most adventurous visitors, the complex's staff puts on safari tours of the reserve.
The Venetian Hotel, China: A Little Venice in Macau
Opened in 2007, The Venetian Hotel in Macau is modeled after the resort of the same name and represents Venice in miniature. The casino takes extravagance and luxury to a new level and is a real must for visitors.
The sheer size of the place itself is astounding. It has more than 3,000 rooms and 550,000 square feet of gaming space, making it the seventh-largest building in the world and the largest casino on the planet. As the name suggests, the hotel is built according to the architecture of Venice and has small canals separating the four main gaming spaces. Guests can even take a gondolier ride as they move around the casino.
Bally's Resort & Casino: Las Vegas, USA
At first glance, it may seem like an ordinary casino in Las Vegas. It is said that the casino, which opened in 1973, is haunted not only by a single evil spirit but by a number of ghosts.
In 1980, the casino experienced one of the worst tragedies in Nevada history. A fire broke out at the deli, and due to poor fire safety measures, 650 people were injured and 87 people died. The owners later sold Bally's Resort & Casino. As soon as Bally's reopened the casino, there were reports from guests of strange happenings. First, there were several complaints about the smell of acrid smoke in the hotel hallways and rooms.
In the main casino room, a strange woman was often seen playing slot machines while her dress slowly caught fire before disappearing into thin air. A more ominous account reports how a young child ran down a hallway in flames, desperately searching for her parents. If you're a fan of paranormal TV shows, you should definitely visit this establishment and see if Bally's is really haunted.
The Ice Casino, Sweden: A Casino Made of Ice
It's hard enough to find a casino in the desolate tundra of the Arctic. If you're tired of exploring the vast glacial expanse, spectacular climate, and northern lights, you can relax with card games at the world's coolest casino. Opened in December 2015 by Gala Casinos, Ice Casino promises you a cold welcome, as indoor temperatures can reach -5 degrees. Everything you see is made of ice, from the walls and ceilings to the chips and dice in the casino games. Ice Casino naturally melts every summer. That means it has to be erected again at the beginning of each winter season.
Tusk Rio Casino Resort, Republic of South Africa: The Most Exotic Casino
This place is the most exotic in the world. At Tusk Rio Casino Resort located in Klerksdorp, you can not only gamble, but also dive, swim in the pool, or play tennis. This place is designed for families. When parents get carried away playing poker, children are entertained by animators or caregivers on the playground. Families will have plenty of fun on vacation if they choose Tusk Rio Casino Resort.
After all, since these casinos are not just for gambling, they're amazing for people who have never played slot machines. They can just relax and even spend time with their families. Yet, they are quite expensive. But sometimes it is worth spending money on your holidays to completely forget about your work and daily routine.

A statistic that measures the relationship between the movement of two asset prices. If two stocks are rising and falling together, they are said to have a positive covariance. But when they move opposite of each other, the covariance is said to be negative. Covariance is an important tool in portfolio management and is used to determine which securities should be included in the same portfolio. This is a way to reduce risk and volatility by having a relatively equal amount of securities that have negative covariances (reducing the likelihood the entire portfolio could plummet in the event of a downturn).
Market Terms
We don't know everything about the markets. We're just devoted to learners. Taken from those smarter than ourselves, here's how we define Covariance.


text: Takashi Murakami (born in Tokyo), is a prolific contemporary Japanese artist who works in both fine arts media-such as painting-as well as digital and commercial media. He blurs the boundaries between high and low art. He appropriates popular themes from mass media and pop culture, then turns them into thirty-foot sculptures, "Superflat" paintings, or marketable commercial goods such as figurines or phone caddies.Takashi Murakami attended the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music, initially studying more traditional Japanese art. He pursued a doctorate in Nihonga, a traditional style of Japanese painting. However, due to the popularity of anime and manga, Japanese styles of animation and comic graphic stories, Murakami became disillusioned with Nihonga. He became passionate about otaku culture, which he felt was more representative of modern-day Japanese life.This resulted in Superflat, the style that Murakami is credited with inventing. It developed from Poku, (Pop + otaku). Murakami has written that he aims to represent Poku culture because he expects that animation and otaku might create a new culture. This new culture is a rejuvenation of the contemporary Japanese art scene. In interviews, Murakami has expressed a frustration with the lack of a reliable and sustainable art market in post-war Japan, and the general view of Japanese art as having a low art status. He is quoted as saying that the market is nothing but "a shallow appropriation of Western trends". His first reaction was to make art in non-fine arts media. Then he decided to focus on the market sustainability of art and promote himself first overseas. This marks the birth of KaiKai Kiki, LLC.In 2008, Takashi Murakami made Time magazine's "100 Most Influential People" list, the only visual artist included.Murakami's style, called Superflat, is characterized by flat planes of color and graphic images involving a character style derived from anime and manga. Superflat is an artistic style that comments on otaku lifestyle and subculture, as well as consumerism and sexual fetishism.Like Andy Warhol, Takashi Murakami takes low culture and repackages it, and sells it to the highest bidder in the "high-art" market. Also like Warhol, Murakami makes his repacked low culture available to all other markets in the form of paintings, sculptures, videos, T-shirts, key chains, mouse pads, plush dolls, cell phone caddies, and $5,000 limited-edition Louis Vuitton handbags. This is comparable to Claes Oldenburg, who sold his own low art, high art pieces in his own store front in the 1960s. What makes Murakami different is his methods of production, and his work is not in one store front but many, ranging from toy stores, candy aisles, comic book stores, and the French design house of Louis Vuitton. Murakami's style is an amalgam of his Western predecessors, Warhol, Oldenberg and Roy Lichtenstein, as well as Japanese predecessors and contemporaries of anime and manga. He has successfully marketed himself to Western culture and to Japan in the form of Kaikai Kiki and GEISAI.Interviewer Magdalene Perez asked him about straddling the line between art and commercial products, and mixing art with branding and merchandizing. Murakami said,"I don't think of it as straddling. I think of it as changing the line. What I've been talking about for years is how in Japan, that line is less defined. Both by the culture and by the post-War economic situation. Japanese people accept that art and commerce will be blended; and in fact, they are surprised by the rigid and pretentious Western hierarchy of 'high art.' In the West, it certainly is dangerous to blend the two because people will throw all sorts of stones. But that's okay-I'm ready with my hard hat.""Smooth Nightmare" is an example of a popular Murakami painting in the Superflat style. It exhibits one of his recurring motifs of the mushroom. The mushroom repetition is a good example of Murakami's work's connection with themes of the underground and alternative cultures.In November 2003, ArtNews reported Murakami's work as being among the most desired in the world. Chicago collector Stefan Edis reportedly paid a record $567,500 for Murakami's 1996 "Miss ko2", a life-size fiberglass cartoon figure, at Christie's last May. Christie's owner, Francois Pinault, reportedly paid around $1.5 million in June to acquire "Tongari Kun" (2003), a 28-foot-tall (8.5 m) fiberglass sculpture, and four accompanying fiberglass mushroom figures, that were part of an installation at Rockefeller Center. In May 2008, "My Lonesome Cowboy" (1998), a sculpture of a masturbating boy, sold for $15.2 million at a Sotheby's auction.Murakami is credited in designing the album artwork for rapper Kanye West's album Graduation.In September 2010 Murakami exhibited some of his works at the Palace of Versailles in France, filling 15 rooms with his sculptures.

Some Muslims joined Christian faithfuls at the Christ Evangelical and Life Intervention Ministry in Sabon Tasha in Kaduna state to celebrate their Christmas service on Saturday, December 25, 2021.
525 Muslims including members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), popularly known as Shiites, were present at the church.
Abdullahi Rabo, district head of Kurmin-Mashi, and Ahmad Rabo, Tijjaniya Imam, also presented a gift to Yuhana Buru, general overseer of the church.
Some of the Muslim attendees also joined the Christians in a dance.
As part of its commitment towards strengthening religious tolerance and Christian-Muslim relationships in Africa, CPPBI, formally commends the Muslim community in Sabon Tasha, Kaduna State, for deeming it fit to Join their Christian brothers and sisters in marking the Christmas festivities.
It is hoped that this show of unfettered goodwill, fellowship and love by Muslims towards Christians, would serve as a catalyst for more peaceful relations among faithfuls of both religions in the future, not only in Sabon Tasha, but across Kaduna State and Nigeria in general.
It would be gladdening if this exemplary expression of love by Muslims towards Christians is reciprocated by the latter. It is also a gesture that is worthy of emulation by members of other faiths.
Peace can only be achieved by understanding! Let Love lead!

There's something that doesn't feel right about leaves naturally falling from trees only to be stuffed into plastic garbage bags and dumped by the millions into landfills. Biodegradable paper leaf bags offer a partial solution. But wouldn't it be better to simply use those leaves to enhance your garden instead of treating them as trash? Leaves contain a lot of carbon that when broken down makes great mulch, compost, and even lawn fertilizer.
The key to the successful use of leaves in your landscape is to shred them first, which you can do with a mulching lawnmower or a leaf mulcher. If you don't shred them, they won't completely break down over the winter, and you'll have to rake them up in the spring. It's also not healthy for lawns to be covered with a mat of whole leaves.
Here are five ways to use shredded leaves around your landscape.
Create Compost
Leaves are a great source of brown, high-carbon material for the compost pile. Simply alternate layers of shredded leaves with the regular green materials you add to your compost pile, such as vegetable and fruit scraps, weeds, grass clippings, and plants that you pull out in your fall garden cleanup. Let all of that sit over the winter. Aerate or turn the pile as needed, and by planting time in the spring, you'll have finished compost.
Make Leaf Mold
Leaf mold is a wonderful soil amendment that is made from nothing more than fall leaves with a layer of garden soil or finished compost. Layer the shredded leaves and compost and let the pile sit for about a year. And when it's finished, you have the perfect amendment for vegetable and flower gardens as well as a fantastic addition to potting soil.
Use as Free Mulch
After you shred the leaves, they can be used as an organic mulch in flower beds and vegetable gardens, around trees and shrubs, and in containers. Simply apply a 2- to 3-inch layer of shredded leaves to the beds, keeping the mulch from directly touching the stems and trunks of the plants. The mulch retains moisture in the soil, helps to maintain a consistent soil temperature, and limits weed seed germination. As a bonus, the leaves add nutrients to the soil as they break down.
Hoard for Springtime
Once all the leaf cleanup is finished in the fall, you might not want to see another leaf again. But when spring rolls around and you're in the garden pruning and weeding again, you'll have an excess of greens for the compost pile but not enough dry material, such as fall leaves. However, if you've thought ahead and hoarded a garbage bag or two of shredded dry leaves over the winter, you won't have any problem making perfect compost in the spring. The dry leaves will help to prevent your compost from becoming a soggy mess.
Supplement Lawns
There is no reason to rake all the leaves off your lawn if you have a mulching lawn mower. If you run over them with a mower to shred them into small pieces, they'll break down over the winter, providing your soil with nutrients and suppressing weeds. If you do this once a week until the leaves have finished falling, you likely won't have to rake a single leaf, and your lawn will look better for it next spring and summer. However, keep in mind this requires a mulching lawnmower, which cuts grass clippings into small enough pieces that can be left on the lawn rather than being collected and bagged. The same theory works with leaves. Most modern lawnmowers have the mulching capability, and older mowers can be converted to mulchers by installing a mulching blade.

Sushi Transformers Sentai Squadron Schallyders Syrariders Set
Takara Tomy transforming raw fish warriors
This brave (but cute) band of five nigirizushi sushi raw fish and three makizushi sushi rolls will protect the ocean! Takara Tomy's awesome series of transforming sushi is here to save the day as a full set of all eight warriors. Yes, behold the Sushi Transformers Sentai Squadron Schallyders Syrariders!
Remember it was Takara Tomy who made the original Transformers franchise with Hasbro, and here the same principle has been applied to Japan's most famous culinary export.
Just press down on the fish slice (or the button in the roll) and watch these mini meals transform into rangers! The sushi can change into armed soldiers and use their fish slice as a shield, with a mini soy sauce bottle as a gun!
This is a complete set of five regular nigirizushi sushi (tuna, shrimp, egg, salmon, mackerel) and three makizushi sushi rolls (natto, kappa, tekka), allowing you to stage full battles for the seas.
If you're a fan of Japanese cuisine you should get some of the details here. Not only do the sushi have their Kanji characters on their heads, there are some jokes too. For example, since you don't put soy sauce on egg sushi, the Syrarider doesn't have a soy sauce bottle gun but the special grill pan used to make the sweet omelet in a Japanese restaurant. The name "Schallyders" is also a pun, since "shari" is the type of rice used to make sushi. But if the trivia passes over your head, don't worry. Just enjoy playing with the warriors!
The Sushi Transformers Sentai Squadron Schallyders Syrariders Set features:
- Full set of EIGHT
- Regular nigirizushi sushi x 5 (tuna, shrimp, egg, salmon, mackerel), makizushi sushi roll x 3 (natto, kappa, tekka)
- Instructions: Japanese (but easy to use)

Great Ways On How To Develop Your Personality
Maturity, intelligence, the ability to get along with other people; these are all milestones in personal development that generally happen as one goes through life. However, you can make choices that direct your development in the way that you choose. It's more difficult than just allowing natural changes to take place, but really developing who you are is worth the work. This article will help you with that work.
A great self help tip is to not abuse alcohol, especially if you're taking any medications. Alcohol is a depressant and can disrupt the effects of any medications you're taking. If you're taking an antidepressant, drinking alcohol will result in an adverse reaction, leaving you even more depressed.
Do you become offended when other people insult you or put you down? Of course! So it is only natural that you should give yourself a break whenever you begin to have doubts about your looks, life, or abilities. If you cannot say something nice about yourself, then you surely shouldn't say anything at all.
If you are considered medically overweight, consider making the effort to lose weight by an acceptable and healthy means. Even the smallest weight loss has the power to make you feel confident and more comfortable in your body, inspired to continue making progress, and motivated to follow through completely with your healthy new routine.
Don't ride your path to personal development on a high horse. Taking the enlightened path is great, but you also must work to understand why we sometimes take the low road in order to minimize the time you spend on it. You can't deal with these instincts without first acknowledging them. Remember that no one ever leaves them behind completely.
One of the easiest and hardest steps in helping yourself in life is to find your passion. Many people spend their lives working in jobs that do not give them a sense of fulfillment. Fulfillment in life and our job go together because when we derive happiness, pride and emotional rewards from doing what you love, it shows.
Everyone interested in self help should remember to share their thoughts with family and friends that they trust. It is going to be very tough to go through hard times without having anyone to confide in, so you should try and find someone with whom you can discuss your problems.
A great tip for people who suffer from depression is to try and keep up with your social life, even if sometimes, you really don't feel like it. Often times, being around a lot of people will make you feel more comfortable coming out of your shell and engaging with the rest of the world.
Being aware of your weaknesses will allow you to keep them in check. Personal development cannot go anywhere if weakness rules your life. If you are constantly making excuses for yourself, always procrastinating or otherwise finding ways to fail you need to conduct a thorough personal assessment and inventory the weaknesses and vulnerabilities that are holding you back and inhibiting your personal development, now!
Don't rely simply on your memory for knowledge, invest in understanding things completely. You need to approach life and learning not only with the goal of understanding the 'how' and 'what', but also of understanding the 'why'. When you begin to grasp why something occurred, you are are opening up a layer of knowledge that many people ignore.
Prioritize your time. If you put off doing something that you really want to do or enjoy doing so that you can take care of something that could have waited, you could find yourself full of regret by the end of the week. This may take some time to really incorporate into your life, but you will be happy that you did.
To stay motivated realize that the end result will take time to achieve. Nothing happens overnight. Try breaking you goal into smaller goals then reward yourself every-time you reach one. For example, if you are losing weight you may feel like waiting to buy new clothes; however, buying an outfit that fits after you have lost a few pounds will emphasis how much you have accomplished thus far. When you see how amazing you look after losing a few pounds, you will want to work harder towards the end result.
Do not dwell on your problems. Think about the solutions for them. If you are constantly thinking about all of the things that are wrong in your life you will not find any happiness. If you take the time to think about how to resolve those problems you will eliminate them altogether.
Changing your environment could be the key to making you happier. Being in a location that has a lot of violence, or in a neighborhood that depresses you is only going to bring you down. It is important to live in a safe neighborhood, where you can come and go as you please and not have to worry about your surroundings.
In order to make yourself a more positive person, you need to get rid of all the negativity around you. You are never going to feel good about yourself if all that is around you is negative. Try not to associate with negative people, and keep away from negative television shows, movies, and books.
Do not change your views about how you feel about things because they are not popular. These views make you the person you are. Changing yourself and preaching things you do not believe in will only turn you into a person that you are not, and will do nothing to improve your self confidence.
Personal development is something you are going to experience throughout your life so you should be aware of it. If you are in control, the changes you make will be meaningful, and your life will go in the direction you choose. You will begin to understand why you make bad choices and negative decisions. Only then, can you truly impact your future.

High triglyceride (TG) levels are associated with higher medical costs, but the long-term impact of high TG on costs among patients with statin-controlled low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is unclear. We compared medical utilization and costs over 6.5 years between patients with high (200 to 400 mg/dl) versus normal (<150 mg/dl) TG levels, all of whom had established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). This was an observational cohort study of 17,183 patients with TG measured in 2010 and followed until death, disenrollment or the end of 2016. All patients had LDL-C levels between 40 and 100 mg/dl and were receiving statin therapy at the time of their TG measurement. We compared annualized medical utilization adjusted for differences between group in age, sex, race, and study site. We also compared annualized medical costs, further adjusting for baseline costs as a proxy for resource-intensive comorbidities. After multivariable adjustment, patients with high TG levels (n=2,702) had a mean of 13% more inpatient admissions per year (p <0.001). Despite adjustment for comorbidities such as diabetes and chronic kidney disease, total outpatient costs were 5% greater (p = 0.035) among those with high TG, including emergency care costs (6% greater) and hospital ambulatory costs (25% greater). The overall difference in annual costs of $964 per patient in the high TG cohort totaled over $2.6 million per year in excess annual costs and more than $13.5 million over the mean follow-up of 5.2 years.

Yes. It's true!
I want to share a ridiculously easy recipe with you. I mean make it with your adorable grandkid easy! I stumbled on this TWO ingredient pizza dough recipe years ago and haul it out whenever I want to hear my granddaughter squeal with delight. When she stays with Gigi and I over night we throw out all that good food stuff and get right to the heart of the matter. Pizza. Good old fashioned pizza.
What's even better is this dough is so simple that Maddi can whip it together with me and that's just what we did the other night.
Her favorite toppings are Italian sausage and cheese. I'm more of a traditionalist and can't imagine a pizza pie without pepperoni. Then toss in a bit of homegrown sweet banana peppers and onion for fun!
We also made our own pizza sauce since that is easy peasy too!
If you want to be a super cool grandparent like me or you just love pizza like we do, here's what you can do:
Super Simple 2 Ingredient Pizza Dough
- 1 cup greek yogurt if you don't make your own, give Siggis a try. Yum!
- 1 1/2 cups self rising flour if you don't have self rising, add 1-1/2 tsp baking powder & 3/4 tsp salt to your AP flour
- 1 tbsp olive oil for baking dough on sheet pan
Revel in the fact that you are making pizza dough with these 2 ingredients!
Add the flour and yogurt to a stand mixer and mix or do as I do (mix in a bowl and then knead the dough on a well floured surface until it's very soft and not sticky).
If using a stand mixer: use the dough hook attachment. Mix on low, scraping the sides when necessary. Eventually after a few minutes it should form a soft, mushy ball of dough.
You can add a bit of water if the dough feels too dry or a little more flour if it's too sticky. It's a very forgiving recipe.
Once you have the dough consistency you like, you can flour a surface and roll out into a circle or oil a sheet pan and press out with your fingers. I'm a roller. In either case, oil a pan with olive oil and place pressed or rolled dough onto the sheet pan.
At this point: I like to give it a preliminary bake until it's just a bit golden. Not brown but golden-ish. This will depend on your oven. You CAN put everything on and bake but we like a crispy dough and a short pre-bake will give you that crispiness on the bottom of the pizza.
Add your ingredients! Don't forget to try my homemade pizza sauce.
Bake at 450° for approximately 12-15 minutes. Be sure to keep an eye on your pie. Ovens vary!
Here's the homemade pizza sauce that the family loves:
My Grams always made her own pizza sauce. I grew up on this and a pizza isn't a pizza without it. It's VERY basic and quick to whip up which is why I like it. Use it as a base if you prefer more flavors.
- 1 small can tomato paste
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar believe me, it adds a depth of flavor. Try it! You can use red wine if you don't have balsamic.
- 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp italian seasonings
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 small tomato diced
- Optional: a bit more water or more balsamic or worcestershire to keep it from being too pasty
- * sweetener
Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
Spread on your partially baked 2 ingredient pizza pie crust. Or, if you're the type who can't wait – just smear on your unbaked pizza crust.
Add you topping to the pizza and pop into your oven!
*Some folks add sugar, maple syrup or honey as a sweetener. I don't get it but if that's your thing use 1 teaspoon to start and adjust from there. You be you boo.
What's your favorite pizza topping?

Supreme Abortion Betrayal: Women's Health Protections Denied
Austin, Texas – Today the Unites States Supreme Court ruled on June Medical Services LLC vs. Russo. Chief Justice John Roberts, once considered a conservative, joined with liberal Judges Breyer, Ginsburg, Sotomayor, and Kagan to render a 5-4 decision striking the law down in the first major abortion case since Trump's appointed Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch joined the Court. Chief Justice Roberts previously appeared to support similar common-sense health standards for abortion clinics in the Texas case Whole Women's Health, but switched positions on this case. Texas Values signed onto a legal amicus brief supporting the Louisiana law, which ensures that abortion doctors have admitting privileges to hospitals within 30 miles, similar to other medical facilities.
Texas Values President and Attorney Jonathan Saenz said: "By rejecting common-sense health and safety procedures in favor of barbaric conditions and medical practices, the Supreme Court shows it does not care for about the health or safety of the mother during an abortion. The evidence provided in this case proves one thing, the abortion industry is about killing babies without regard to the health and safety of the mother. This decision leaves no doubt, the Supreme Court considers itself the Supreme Legislature, and it's time all of us stand up and say enough!"
Many of the common-sense health and safety measures requested by states are a response to the horrors seen by Dr. Kermit Gosnell, who is now behind bars. June Medical Services LLC v. Russo is a Pro-Life case that seeks to decide if Louisiana can keep their law requiring all abortion facilities to have admitting privileges at local hospitals. In 2014, the Louisiana legislature passed Act 620 which was authored by Democrat lawmaker Katrina Jackson. The law is similar to a law in Texas which was overturned in Whole Women's Health v. Hellerstedt. Not only do laws like Act 620 save lives by helping to slow down the number of abortions, but these laws take into consideration the grave dangers of abortion procedures. Oralists arguing in favor of Act 620 gave horrific examples of some of the health emergencies that have occurred while women were receiving an abortion.
In June Medical, the Fifth Circuit distinguished the Louisiana law from the Texas law in Whole Women's Health and proceeded to uphold the Louisiana law after concluding it did not create an undue burden on abortion facilities. The Fifth Circuit found that unlike in Texas, many of the abortionists in Louisiana could receive admitting privileges, yet "sat on their hands" rather than diligently attempting to obtain them.

Different Types of Fans and Their Uses for Home---ipanergy.com
'Home, Sweet home' easy to say but difficult to maintain one. Yes, a house needs to be filled with people, needs to have a lot of love, fun and happiness to make it sweet but so does it need all essential items. Apart from the innumerable items that lie totally unused in our homes, there are certain things that are totally necessary for a proper living. One such product is the Fan. Every house does have fan and they do have different sizes and types but here is a list of different types of fans that can be used for your homes. Check them to know what you have, what you have missed and what you would like to have to match your comfort and needs.
Different Types of Fans and Best Fans for Home
Rechargeable Mini Fans
What could be better than having stylish, colourful, portable mini fans that are best-selling in the market? Mini fans are designed for easy portability, are lightweight, can run for about 8 – 9 hours and are best for personal use anywhere, anytime. Rechargeable mini fans do give you the required air flow equal to the other table or desk fans. They are best for effective and convenient use.
Ceiling Fan
Mounted on top of the ceiling, this type of fan is the most commonly used one. The ceiling fans come in different sizes and colors. Though they come with three, four and five blade designs, the three blade design fans are widely preferred. Since they have become an essential product to be fixed in a home, their designs have become a priority. The fan blades are designed in different ways to match the interiors of a house and some even do have an integrated light kit. The only thing to be noted is that the size of the ceiling fan needs to be chosen according to the size of your room for effective air flow.
Pedestal/ Standing Fan
They are fans that oscillate while mounted on a stand that has adjustable features. They have high speed settings, adjustable height features and are require less maintenance. Pedestal fans are right for larger rooms that need good air circulation. The standing fans can also be moved from a room to another and be placed in a corner for the air flow to be circulated in all directions of the room.
Table Fan
These are perfect for air flow in a small space. Table fans are small; have a flat surface making it perfect to rest on a table or desk. They are easy to move, can be placed anywhere you want and be used according to your need. Be it your work desk, kitchen space or near your sofa, if you would like to limit the air flow to just yourself then table fans are the right options.
Wall Mount Fan
They are a modification of the table fans. They are small, mounted on the wall and best suits closed rooms and limited spaces. They reduce the floor or table space that a table fan or a pedestal fan takes but does give you the same air flow and comes with oscillating features.
Exhaust Fan
As much as it is required to have air flow inside the house, it is also significant that proper ventilation is maintained. To draw out air from the inside and let it out, an exhaust fan is all that you need. Primarily used in bathrooms and kitchen, the exhaust fans help get rid of the bad odours and moisture from your bathrooms while they help remove smoke emissions during cooking and increase better air flow. Exhaust fans at home are quiet necessary to avoid health risks and also to maintain a clean indoor environment.
Window Fan
They are designed to be mounted on a window frame. While ceiling fans continue to swirl with the air available inside a room, window fans help you to remove hot, unclean air from inside and draw in fresh, cool, outside air into your room. This continuous circulation of outside air is also good for your body and health. The attest models come with variable speed setting, remote controls and other additional features.
Misting Fan
Misting fans are effective, portable fans that circulate cooling air and best for summers. All you have to do is fill water in the tank attached to the fan and the misting nozzles spray extremely tiny droplets of water that when evaporates quickly that lets you experience the cool air around you. If you are looking out for ways to reduce the humidity in your room, if you are looking out for an alternative to air-conditioners to keep your room moderately cool then go for the misty fans.
If you are trying to find out a stylish looking appliance, if you are bored of using the same model fans are would like to redecorate your house with something new, then go for the small bladeless fans. With no visible blades, less consumption of electricity and appealing to look at features, the bladeless fans are an option to go for. They are portable, has swing mode, timer functions and will definitely be the best when it comes to your personal use. And they work best when paired with an air conditioner.
Tower Fan
Tall, slim and stylish and that is the tower fan. Tower fans are uniquely designed are more like the bladeless fans as they have no blades visible and works best when paired with an air conditioner. They are lightweight, portable, includes adjustable features for speed and oscillation and they produced very less noise when compared to other fans with visible blades. And since the blades are designed to be placed below, the product is highly safe to use even with kid around.
Writing about the different types of fans and their uses is not very difficult but making a reader choose the right appliance for their comfortable use is what is pretty important and is a little tricky. All types of fans mentioned above might be well known to you since they are pretty commonly used in all homes.

The EMP Weapon: Bringer Of Darkness And Chaos Could Soon To Be Unleashed Against US!
What is the EMP effect?
The electromagnetic pulse (aka EMP) is a short burst of electromagnetic energy (as short as hundreds of nanoseconds), taking the form of a pulse of radiated electromagnetic field or of a conducted electrical current (depending on the source of origin). It's always disruptive on electronic equipment. They happen commonly in nature (lightning, electromagnetic discharge or even meteor EMP) or they can be man-made (electric motors, gasoline engine ignition systems, power lines surges). The military EMP devices (although are also man-made), are built to serve a whole different purpose.
They are highly advanced tactical weapons meant for combat. They are non-lethal, but they debilitate the enemy's combat capacity by rendering useless everything that uses or runs on electrical currents. The EMP weapons can be nuclear (HEMP – capable of producing a pulse of immense magnitude) and non-nuclear EMP weapons (NNEMP).
How much harm can a non-lethal weapon cause?
Loads and loads of it! Civilian and commercial computer systems are most vulnerable to EMP attacks. They are basically built of high-density Metal Oxide Semiconductors (MOS), extremely exposed to high voltage transients. These types of devices don't require high amounts of energy to be completely annihilated. In fact, it takes only a variation of tens of Volts to produce the gate oxide breakdown effect that eventually destroys the targeted apparatus. Some devices may resist such an attack and may still run even while "wounded", but their reliability comes hard into question. Protection cases exist and might have been efficient, except for one Achilles' heel: the casing will not protect the cables, which acting like antennas, will direct the pulse straight into the circuitry. The computers used in data processing systems, communications, industrial control applications (ex. Road and rail signaling), electronic flight control, digital engine controls and common mobile phones are VULNERABLE to EMP attacks! But processing units are not the only targets. Even simpler electronics, based on copper wiring, transistors and diodes are just as vulnerable. After an EMP attack, don't count on your generators too much. The victims of an EMP affected area won't even have the convenience of electrical light, yet alone TV, internet or radio. Such a massive electronic takedown would immediately result into a social and economic disaster.
How can we defend ourselves?
The best way of avoiding the effects of a fully unleashed electro-magnetic pulse would be to destroy the platform carrying the bomb (be it jet or vehicle). But this would be a long shot, so the next best thing would be to fully in case every single piece of equipment that is susceptible to EMP radiation in protective casings, capable of withstanding (some, if not all) the impact. These types of casing are called Faraday cages and they keep the electromagnetic field away from the circuit boards. The power cables are still a possible backdoor for the destructive pulse, so special electromagnetic arresting devices can be fitted in order to help dampen the effect. The fiber optic cables used for data transfer, however, are completely safe.
Production costs are important! As an electronic or electrical system is composed of numerous elements, precautions must be taken for each one of them, individually. The breakdown of a single component could cease the activity of the entire system. In most cases is cheaper to design new EMP resistant equipment then it would be to upgrade an old one. Maintenance costs could sky-rocket if, for example, you tied to fix complex circuitry that has been slightly affected, but not destroyed. The inconsistency of the malfunctioning gadget could be caused by a minor component, but the time and effort put into detecting and fixing the problem might not be worth it.
Another means of defense against the EMP attack, tactical facilities especially should not radiate detectable emissions. Where radio frequency communications must be used, low probability of intercept techniques should be employed exclusively to preclude the use of site emissions for electromagnetic targeting purposes
Is this doomsday scenario possible?
Yes, it is! According to Dr. Peter Vincent Pry (Executive Director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security and Director of the U.S. Nuclear Strategy Forum), Russia has realised the potential of full-out EMP attacks and has been developing the technology ever since. The US has been doing just about the same. But meanwhile, more and more states interested in this subject. Experts declare that North Korea have been developing their own nuclear and EMP programs, with the help of the Russian Federation. In May 2009, the North Koreans detonated an EMP warhead that produced high-gamma output combined on a relatively small blast output of three kilotons.
Dr. Pry claims that the Iranian military forces are also in the in possession of EMP tactical warheads based on military training programs, which would suggest high altitude practice strikes. Needless to say that these three regimes consider the US as their enemy and primary target. But things might have just gotten worse, as data suggests even terrorist groups (such as ISIS) have been getting in possession of EMP weapons.
As time passes by, our enemies are getting stronger. And so must we. Be alert, keep calm and stay informed! We might just make it.

When did marriage become a written agreement made legal by governmental law only?
Just wondering because I been there and done that and will not do that again but feel married naturally to someone I really do love and he loves me too but I said I do not want to be married by the law because when you do that they have a say in how you marriage should be.
What do you think? Is a marriage made legal only by a binding contract that can be annulled or is a "real" marriage the commitment that doesn't need a $$ piece of paper that is a binding "obligation"?
Or is a real marriage a commitment that is not an obligation but stays together out of the strong and natural love two people can have for each other?
Do you think that governmental laws are more damaging than they are helpful?
I guess to me, that lawful marriage contracts make you property.
I'd be interstd in seeing some answers on this as I have been there and done that too. I went through my divorce twice because I re-married a Catholic and had to go thrugh the annulment process -10 years after the legal state law of divorce. It wasn't easy because the Catholic Church has you get in contact with previous family members to get their *approval* of your annulment---even when they are not Catholic and it has been 10 years since you have ever talked to them.
I know, it is strange. I told a woman once who is heavily religious that I will not marry by the law, that if I do not do that then I am not in a contract with the same governments you say Satan rules. How much sense does this make?
She said I was condescending. Though it maybe be so, I feel like being married is something completely spiritual that God sees and is binding between us as partners and equal to each other, that we are not property to each other but helpers to each other.
Sorry to hear that it had to be like that for you LG, that really sucks. I can only say I see the problem with marriage because even after it is done, you are still obligated to some extent to people who don't even really know you.
I am interested too to see what people say.
As far as I can tell Biblically it is when the two are one--like copulation. intercourse, the sex act. I also think it is what God called Adam and Eve--Helpmeets or Help for each other and of each other.
There are no words in the Bible--that we read--that has any marriage ceremonial wording.
When love isn't in the picture anymore, I don't think that is when a marriage ends--the lust has, but Marriage is a vocation in itself.
I am still confuses at the last part about when love isn't in the picture but I do dig the capital M in a real marriage.
touche' Lady Guinevere!
And I never read anything either about a marriage ceremony or documenting two people on a piece of paper, though I did see that Jesus and Mary were married because back then their marriage ceremony was done by anointing feet with oils.
Here where I am you can't even get them annulled. I knopw of one guy idiot, that got married paraletic. then decides a day later it wasn't what he wanted. He had to wait the 2 years... its been really tightened up on. Only grounds are irrevocable breakdown. Adultery and all the rest don't cut it anymore.
It has always been a contract, whereby someone else owns another, even the wording is scary. I can see all the God botherers getting off their horses about now, and saying no it is a wondderful institution. If it works for you good and well, its not my bag. (I have tried it ) But I agree with you well written
When you feel you dont have any love remaining for your partner. Then it happen.
I think the government has no business inserting itself into marriage contracts. It gets complicated though. With gay marriage becoming legal in many states (and I think gay people SHOULD have equal rights under the law), I think the next big issue will be partners who choose not to marry but do have a lifetime commitment. There are LOTS of us, and we don't get the rights married people do legally, yet it should be up to us whether we want to marry. Marriage seems to me to be a religious thing, and in the absence of religion, it makes no sense.
In fact, even with religion it makes no sense. As LG points out, there is very little in the Bible about it, and most religious traditions regarding marriage are awful for the woman.
I think something like legal unions would be reasonable, but leave marriage out of it.
No doubt. I agree. I think the whole idea of marriage should be taken out of gov. law and religious laws and let the real Marriage be between the two people who chose to be together.
It is ridiculous that there should be anyone else involved in a marriage, after all, we aren't sleeping with them.
I wonder what would happen if the marriage was taken out of the law all together... the church would probably lose money on marrying them and the government would lose money divorces. lol
We have Civil Unions here for Gays, and it puts them exactly in the married persons state. ie property etc.etc. Hardly anyone has them tho so we either haven't alot of gays, or they just don't see the point in entering into a legal environment.
Geting rid of marriage would certainly make the divorce statistics look a lot better! And not a few lawyers would have to find another way to rip us off...
Funny when I split from my " legal" marriage husband was a pig. lol. The halfwitted lawyer made a packet, second time we just walked taking our own stuff, it was a hell of a lot easier.
Apart from the fact, I decked his son, which incidentally was something I had been waiting to do for years. Xtra lol. No lawyers second time round.
This is an interesting topic . I am looking forward to see more answers.
I think the 'lawful' marriage is for the sole purpose of property rights. ugh~ these days with things like medical insurance... you have to be legally married for you wife or husband to receive benefits even if they say... hey that is my wife or husband.
I know common law sees this as a marriage in property rights and all that but it still doesn't get you help when you need it and it doesn't recognize the same common law when a couple is gay.
It's so stupid. What does the law, religious or governmental have to gain from it besides the money they request to marry them and the money it takes to divorce them, which seems to only make life harder for people financially and emotionally.
Hi Sandra. This is a touchy subject so I have been hesitant to post. If you are interested here are a couple of resources.
What the Bible says about Marriage and Divorce. You may be interested in the "Pauline privilege" or the "Petrine privilege".
That is what the Bible says about getting married and who should be able to divorce, but not and ceremonial rights nor any ohter governmental laws. You can do better thatn that Mike. Let's see those verses because not all of the ones here are gonna read the Bible or have any interest in it at all and I am not talking about me. Why does it have to be a touchy subject? We are asking questions. What does it say in your own words?
Yes, Mike. I have read about it but like LG is saying... I am actually asking about when and what does the bible say about becoming married?
I ask because like with Adam and Eve, we can assume they were married but there wasn't any officiator there to make the union lawful. But they became lawful and acknowledge by God and it was by God's blessing alone that made the union acceptable.
So my mind is wondering why we have officiators and written laws to acknowledge a couple as married when a complete and total union seems to be expressed and approved only by God and between the two involved.
I mean, I have read a lot of things about why polygamy is not okay and why divorce is acceptable or annulment... but nothing really about why priest became the authority or how it came to be that the parents would have a say... I mean it says that when the children grow up they leave their folks to start their own families and they need to let go.
Truthfully I may not have a problem with churches marrying a couple as a witness before God but signing contracts and being subject to laws that are binding by contracts seems strange to me.
Well the first link that I posted talks about when and what the bible says about becoming married. The Church document is just an affirmation of the life long vow to God between the couple. I don't know why priests became the authority. The Bible talks about how Jesus turned water into wine at a wedding reception. I imagine the tradition stems from before then.
As for the government document I don't see much use for them.
Now I'm going to step out of this conversation.
Yes, that is right, I forgot about that. When he went to a wedding reception... I think it went something like; Jesus told the people to get more wine for them and they said there is not wine and Jesus said look again.
I really don't want you to leave the conversation because you always have something valuable to contribute, at least I think so.
What if we petitioned that marriage be removed from the gov. law? I would think that in doing so there wouldn't have to be such deputes about who can be and who cannot be and let it be between the two and God.
Anyways, since you are stepping out of this conversation I just want to say thanks, for what it is worth.
I think you might be interested in this topic though. http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/13370
That sounds good to me Sandra.
I have to go out, I'll check that other thread later.
By the way mandybeau I said I was stepping out of the conversation because I don't know much about divorce or annulment, whether in the Church or government. "Apart from the fact, I decked his son, which incidentally was something I had been waiting to do for years."
I was quoting mandybeau. I thought it was kind of funny.
Yeah I know the look on his stupid face was even funnier. I have it etched in my mind forever complete with the vision of the Bookcase he fell over, as he landed head over turkey into a rather small toilet. No where else for him to land, that was appropriate too.lol
Don't want to be a total Bitch... but the lady started a forum, so why would you answer it and then step out when it got too hot..................Why I question Christianity, you guys don't have the answers. I remember asking one to many questions about the ark re the different animals, and how the voyage could have been possible, and got sent out of the rooms. Christian, whatever they are just seem to back off when they don't have the answers. I have had more answers from Islamic people.
Marriage is natural law; but recently in the last century or about, it was legalize by government to control marriage issues and keep the rights for any couples and their children.
but same sex marriage people- and it's far away to be legalize as natural marrige because it's no results from it, no kids, no life-; they knew it's wrong act to marry same sex; So, they looking for a kind of authority-government- to legalize their act, and make their feeling better; because they are sick inside themselves; and i hope they could keep it for themselves and stop the madness of same sex marriage and crying loud to force us to accept their act as natural act; but it's not.
In the end we are not against any one act if it doesn't harm us.......
I'd hazzard to guess, legal documentation became neccessary when people stopped living by honoring their word. Used to be that a handshake WAS a legal, binding agreement. I suppose "legal" makes it controllable (?), for property rights etc.
As for the church making money, I doubt it. They get lots more revenue elsewhere.
Al this leagal stuff and religious stuff about marriage. It comes to mind of the laws that the governemtn set out a long time ago and they are the ones who are disowning them----what is the thing with Separation of Church and State.
About the church making money off of weddings. The Clergy do get paid and so do the Organist and Music people and the Lectors and lots more that one doesn't even think about being paid in the church. All the State gets is paymnet for the Marriage license. It'a all about posession and Money---the great sin! LOL
Well, me personally, I have had 5 legal marriages. Neither me nor my ex believe in 'legal' marriage anymore...our eyes have become opened. As some have stated, Adam and Eve were married in the sight of God, she was created for him as a help mate...THEY WERE MARRIED! At that time women were property, and when a man came to the father's tent to get his very young wife, he usually paid with cattle. The man took his new property (wife) to his tent and he 'knew her', I don't think he was just trying to get acquainted lol. 'Knew' her meant that he had consummated the relation, which was the marriage...there were no papers or ceremonies involved. In slave days all the couple did was 'jump the broom' still no legal papers. Marriage is SIMPLY blending or bringing together.
Man created this legal marriage law!! There was a time when living together was O.K., but when it became a 'legal law', those marriages were not recognized...they were now considered 'common law' which sounds pretty bad. It made it sound like those people were 'low class', lesser than. When I visit Central America, there are lots of married people there, but most do not have a legal contract. They are committed to each other...that's marriage. This legal paper thing is European.
Remember the days when a hand shake (gentleman's agreement) was all that was needed?? That WAS the contract. Today everything is by legal' contract which generates money for the government and attorneys. You have to have a contract to get in, and one to get out of almost everything today.
I personally believe that God honors the commitment between coupleS as a binding contract...just as he did from the beginning. I also believe that when one or both partners decide that it is over, it is over...the verbal contract has ended. Again, there is no need to pay someone a big price to say it is 'legally' over...giving the lawyer the big divorce fee! I think the heart is the only contract that really speaks.
Now let's not talk about adultery or fornication in all of this, that's another topic. lol Google: The Law of St. Augustine
Good inputs on this one all around.
Go God!
let's all just copulate and propagate. love is just a chemical anyway, a delusion.
