Salted Caramel Christmas Brownies
I am just a little obsessed. Just a teensy, tiny . . . okay, maybe medium-sized-ly, perhaps colossally, ridiculously obsessed with salted caramel. It is sweet. And salty. Gooey, rich, an amazing melding of buttery caramel and that surprising bite into a delicate flake of sea salt. Salted caramel is, pretty much, absolutely perfect – poured into thumbprint cookies, slathered in between layers of cake, whipped up to frost cupcakes, and, today, drizzled over fudge brownies.
I first encountered the idea of baking brownies in cookie cutters from this amazing list entitled "38 Clever Christmas Food Hacks That Will Make Your Life So Much Easier" aka my favorite webpage of the past month. Because, although I have attempted to lead you astray by baking things like Red Velvet Cheesecake Cake and German Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies, I am actually quite the lazy chef.
Like, ughh do I really have to wash out the KitchenAid bowl in between different cookie batches? And, hmm, should I get out the candy thermometer for this caramel, or can I just guesstimate? (By the by, judging by the damage I generally incur on my saucepans, I'm guessing that the answer is: get out the thermometer).
In any case, I'm treating this list of Christmas Food Hacks as someone's early Christmas gift to moi (you should really check it out too – there's Crockpot French toast!). I was especially excited about the cookie cutter brownies, because, last year, while shopping for the essentials at Target last year, I managed to pick up a very
nonessential silicon muffin tray with Christmas-themed molds! Color my Little Miss Christmas (S)elf Ecstatic. As a side note, I should never shop for the essentials at Target because they have clearly employed my evil twin to spill all my secrets and tell them everything I could possibly want to buy – even things I didn't know existed!
Luckily, though, this Dollar Spot purchase was definitely worth its hefty price (it was actually $2.50! – another sneaky Target trick). I simply made my Favorite Fudge Brownies batter, baked it in the cutouts, and drizzled that rich caramel sauce on top of the finished product. If you'd like, you can also make this in a pan and pour the sauce over the entire pan. Either way, the result is the same: mmmarghfufflepoiqwer. Oh, sorry, my mouth was full of brownies. I meant: crazy delicious amazing. Eat on, friends!
P.S. Check out today's Dallas Morning News Cookie Contest article – 3Pastries got a (small but exciting) mention!
Salted Caramel Christmas Brownies (Adapted from my Favorite Fudge Brownies)
Yield: ~16 cookie cutter brownies, or one 9×9 pan of brownies
- 1/4 cup (half a stick) of butter, melted
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Salted Caramel Sauce
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup fresh cream
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into half
- 1/2 tablespoon sea salt
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or cooking spray approximately 16 cookie cutters/silicon muffin molds, or a 9×9 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together baking powder, salt, cocoa, and flour. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix butter and sugars until combined. Add eggs, then beat vigorously for 1 minute. This will create the desired "crust" on top of the brownies while baking.
- Stir in melted chocolate and vanilla. Gently fold in flour mixture until just combined.
- Pour mixture into pan and bake for approximately 15 minutes (in the molds) or 25 minutes (in a pan), or until toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few crumbs attached. Pour the caramel sauce on top and enjoy!
Salted Caramel Sauce
- Put sugar in a large saucepan and begin cooking over medium high heat.
- Stir as sugar melts. Swirl occasionally after sugar is dissolved.
- Cook until the sauce is a dark amber, swirling the pan around occasionally. When the sauce is a dark amber color (if you have a candy thermometer, at 350 degrees F), remove from heat.
- Immediately add the heavy cream, whisking while you do so. Careful – the mixture will bubble vigorously when the cream is added!
- When cream is combined into mixture, add the butter pieces and stir until incorporated. Finally, add the sea salt and stir to combine.

Windows Phone Game Discounts [UPDATE]
Posted on 27 October 13 at 14:25
Only 2 games work with WP7 so no big loss for me.
Posted on 27 October 13 at 15:03
People who got banned because of this it's because they shared their GT with friends and other people so they can grab the free games and download them onto their console too so they can use them with their GT. That's illegal and that will result in a ban from MS. You are not supposed to share your GT to somebody else so they can download games they didn't bought/downloaded. Last year, a similar thing happened with SR3 Season pass, one guy shared it with a friend and he got banned.
Ok, what happen to somebody who lives in Morocco or Oman where some of the games were free that time? Will he/she get banned because of:
1) MS error for putting the price to free and people grabbed them quickly before their realize their error
2) Because the person doesn't live in that region (which is not the case because as I said before, the person in question is really living in Morocco or Oman)
If a game is free on the Canadian marketplace and everybody in Canada download it (with a Canadian account only), will all people get banned because of MS stupidity for the error price? Because the people who grab the game are living in Canada, MS can clearly verify that info with the IP address of the console.
Also, on WP8, you can switch region without affecting the hotmail/outlook account and switch back when you are done downloading a game or app (after restarting the phone). Same goes with the Xbox 360 3 months account migration utility that you can find on xbox.com, with that you can migrate your account to another region and change it back to the original region (after 3 months of course). I can take my Canada/US account and migrate it to UK/France if i wanted too), then I would have access to the marketplace in that region.
If people are getting banned because they download free games from other regions where they don't live, then MS should remove this migration utility so people cannot use it in the future and get banned because of it. Why people should pay for MS stupidity all the time? The price error is not our fault, it's MS fault.
So Diaboliical
If you downloaded any of these free games, then you risk getting a permanent Xbox Live gamertag account ban and loss of access to all your purchases, account balance, live membership and gamerscore. This is what happened to many people a few weeks ago when the prices of some Xbox 360 games showed up as free in certain regions.
As many members of the TA community will point out, if the price is free and you download it then you know what you are doing is wrong and you are stealing.
Please get your facts straight...
If you have some facts, then please share them.
The fact was that hundreds of thounds of dollars worth of content went out the door and many people got Xboxes and accounts banned to send a clear message. Everyone said that since the free pricing was a slip up there would be no repercussions, and then there was. After that, many sites removed all information about "free content" slip ups to protect their readers and their reputation. The people who didn't get the free content told the people that did and got banned that it serves them right. No facts have ever been made public, there are pages and pages of speculation here -
Console Bans
Many people believe it is for creating an account in a region that you do not live in. Well what about the people who created an account and then moved to a different country (like myself)? At the time I had to either create a new gamertag or continue getting content from the marketplace of the country I no longer lived in. This included being able to download free games and content that weren't free or available in my new country! About a year ago Microsoft created a way to transfer your account to another country, but they didn't say if you download content from a country you don't live in you will get banned.
I ask you this, is it worth the risk of getting your gamertag permanently banned for grabbing a few cheap games for free because of a pricing mistake? I used to say it was worth the risk because people have been doing it for years and nobody had been banned. Now that many people have been banned I would say it is not worth the risk but I say good luck to those who continue to take the chance.

Can't go wrong with 99 cents, Dream Track and Tiny Plane for me as they are the only 2 I don't own.
Licking an electrical outlet will not turn you into a Mighty Morphin Power Ranger.
Posted on 27 October 13 at 17:52
I wouldn't switch regions to get them free, not after so many people got console banned for doing a similar thing on the 360.
The ban wave had
to do with the Oman thing. People got banned for other reasons and they know it.
This is not proven to be the case either.

Don't know if anyone has noticed but Uno & Friends is not on the Marketplace now, it also has an update, but don't know if I should install it or not.
Posted on 28 October 13 at 20:33, Edited on 28 October 13 at 22:47 by HolyHalfDead
i can confirm that they re Just trolling - my friend have played the "oman discount" Games and his account and console hasnt been banned.i wouldnt hesitate checkomg out stuff like that because its legal.its Microsoft guilt that set It for free,not our
I never said they banned ALL Oman accounts or associated Xboxes and gamertags. Your friend was one of the lucky ones. For every person that wasn't banned, there is another that was. If some of the more liberal sites like xbox360achievements took the matter so seriously as to remove all postings about free pricing errors, I personally wouldn't go around reassuring people that it will never happen.
ive downloaded lots of games they have put up for free (mistakes or not) but ive never changed my region to do so. you wont get banned for downloading free items (mistakes or not) from your own region.
That's what I have been telling people (and myself) for the last 8 years, but now I will not state categorically that you won't get banned. In my case I moved from the UK to New Zealand a few years ago and at the time there was no way to change my account region. I carried on making my purchases from the UK marketplace (the alternative was create a new gamertag), and so I was able to download games that are free not by mistake (eg
Harms Way
). Now let's say GTA V was priced as free by mistake in the UK (like when Angry Birds Trilogy was free in Russia recently). You are saying that those who download GTA V for free in the UK won't get banned, but would I get banned if I downloaded it from New Zealand with my UK account? The only answer I would give is "I don't know, maybe."
People who got banned because of this it's because they shared their GT with friends and other people so they can grab the free games and download them onto their console too so they can use them with their GT.
That is what almost all of the people would have done, only "their friend" is themself. I expect very few people actually changed their GT region to Oman, since that means going without Live for 3 months.
It is true that if you share your GT with friends they "can grab the free games and download them onto their console" but they CANNOT use those games with their GT, only on the console the game was first download on can it be played by other gamertags. If anyone hacked a download to remove the DRM they should be banned. But that is not what most people were doing who got banned. What most people did was download content that was priced as free, by using a gamertag from a different region. Something people who live outside the US (where much of the free content is available) have been doing for years, but never have so many people and Xboxes been banned before. The only difference that time is that it wasn't just one isolated game and the content was not supposed to be free even in that region.
Also, on WP8, you can switch region without affecting the hotmail/outlook account and switch back when you are done downloading a game or app (after restarting the phone). Same goes with the Xbox 360 3 months account migration utility that you can find on xbox.com, with that you can migrate your account to another region and change it back to the original region (after 3 months of course). I can take my Canada/US account and migrate it to UK/France if i wanted too), then I would have access to the marketplace in that region.
I know it can be done, it's just whether it should be done.
If people are getting banned because they download free games from other regions where they don't live, then MS should remove this migration utility so people cannot use it in the future and get banned because of it. Why people should pay for MS stupidity all the time? The price error is not our fault, it's MS fault.
I totally agree with you, but because you willingly signed up for Xbox Live, Microsoft can do whatever they want to your account and Xbox without having to go into any details as to why. What they are doing may well break local laws, but you will need considerable time and money to be able to challenge their action, especially why you start the conversation with your legal concil that you saw something for free that should not normally be free and nothing prevented you from grabbing it.

Posted on 29 October 13 at 02:04
I found it funny because as I was downloading an angry birds game free one at a time I only got to download three of the games
priced got put on before I could download the other few. A free games a free game nonetheless.

They dont always advertise with WP, ive seen many a free flash kind of sale.
Edit: Plus word of mouth is free and effortless to them so why bother making a big fuss saying look at our sale.
Unnecessarily scaring people isn't needed though.
You are right that word of mouth works extremely well. Word got around about Injustice being free very quickly, and many people downloaded it because "everyone else" was doing it and were upset when they got banned as many of them had never done anything like that before. Sites like this were assurring them that they weren't doing anything wrong and even if it was wrong to take advantage of Microsofts pricing mistake, that no one has ever been punished for it. My intention is not to scare, but to inform, so people can make up their own mind if the risk is worth it.
Sorry, mate but you are unnecessarily scaring people.
You can't get banned just for downloading a game that's marked as free. If that was the case, every user would have to have all the prices of every single game and DLC on the market place on his mind. Meaning if I browse through the market place and find a game that's free, I would need to know that this isn't normally free and it therefore must be a pricing error. And I'm sorry, I for one, have no idea about every games usual pricing. And I don't think MS can expect me to research whether the pricing is correct on the marketplace every time I want to buy something. That's just plain stupid.
People get banned for specifically creating accounts just to download games with pricing errors as this actually requires effort on their side.
By chance, you wouldn't just create, for example, a Russian account one day and stumble over a free (pricing error) game on the marketplace that very same day and never use the account again after that. Or at least, it's rather unlikely that this would happen by chance.

Aaron Hicks drew a bases-loaded walk with two outs in the top of the ninth inning, and the New York Yankees completed a four-game sweep of the host Baltimore Orioles with a 6-5 victory Thursday afternoon after blowing a four-run lead.
Hicks came up against Mychal Givens (0-2) after Gleyber Torres and Gary Sanchez extended the inning in pinch-hitting roles. Torres drew a full-count walk, and two pitches later, Sanchez moved the runner to second by lining a base hit to right field.
After Givens walked DJ LeMahieu on four pitches, he threw three straight out of the strike zone to Hicks. Hicks then took a called strike, fouled off the next pitch and then looked at a close pitch for ball four.
The Yankees held a 5-1 lead entering the bottom of the eighth, but Trey Mancini hit an RBI single off Jonathan Holder, and Renato Nunez added a three-run homer off Tommy Kahnle (2-0). Kahnle kept the game tied by striking out Rio Ruiz and Chris Davis.
Former Orioles closer Zack Britton pitched a scoreless ninth inning for his second save.
Before blowing the lead, the Yankees seemed to be cruising to another win over Baltimore.
New York tied the game in the fifth on a solo homer by Clint Frazier and took a 3-1 lead on a two-run, bases-loaded single by Gio Urshela in the sixth off Baltimore starter Dylan Bundy. The visitors added to the lead on an Austin Romine RBI single in the seventh and a solo shot by Luke Voit in the eighth.
The Yankees won their 12th straight game in Baltimore and also posted their ninth straight head-to-head win against the Orioles. The Yankees also won their fifth straight overall and improved to 14-3 in their last 17 games.
New York's Masahiro Tanaka allowed one run and five hits in six innings. He walked one and struck out five.
Tanaka took a comebacker off his body for the second straight game. He stayed in the game after Ruiz's 102 mph grounder deflected off his glove in the second inning — five days after taking a 111 mph comebacker by Tampa Bay's Yandy Diaz of his shin.
Baltimore went ahead in the second inning when Richie Martin avoided hitting in an inning-ending double play as Nunez scored.
Bundy allowed three runs on five hits in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out five and walked two.
The Orioles lost their sixth straight game and dropped a season-high 20 games under .500 at 15-35.

Justice league: The State University of New York at Old Westbury School of Business is gearing up to assist victims of suspected financial fraud who can't find (or afford) the right forensic investigative services.
Part of Old Westbury's innovative Master's Degree in Forensic Accounting program, the Justice for Fraud Victims project is being developed in conjunction with the Long Island Chapter of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners. Its primary mission: to assist victims (and, potentially, prosecutors) by molding higher-ed, law enforcement and forensic-accounting resources into an effective fraud-fighting unit that also gives SUNY accounting students hands-on experience.
"A value we work to instill in each of our students is that they must contribute to the development of a world that is just for all," noted SUNY Old Westbury President Calvin Butts III. "The Justice for Fraud Victims Project is an effort that ties directly to that mission, while also giving students the skill-building opportunities they need to succeed."
Aquaman and the God of Lightning: Two Stony Brook University faculty members were among 13 national scientists to receive Department of Energy Particle Accelerator Research Grants this week, supporting studies that dive underwater and deep into microscopic scales.
The two SBU grants, totaling more than $600,000, will advance research by Adjunct Civil Engineering Professor Arjun Venkatesan, associate director for drinking water initiatives at the university's Center for Clean Water Technology, and Navid Vafaei-Najafabadi, an assistant professor in SBU's Department of Physics and Astronomy.
Venkatesan's one-year, $281,000 grant will focus on a novel treatment technology designed to remove emerging contaminants from drinking water, while Vafaei-Najafabadi's two-year, $350,000 grant will be used to design electricity-conducting plasma channels using meter-scale "lightning bolts." Both projects include collaborations with other institutions, including Brookhaven National Laboratory, the University of Rochester's Laboratory for Laser Energetics and the Fermi National Accelerator.
Feather in the cap: Stony Brook's busiest biotech is going to Spain, where a leading down-feather distributor is altering its security DNA.
Blood in the water: The competition will be fierce as East End entrepreneurs dive into i-Hampton's annual RipTide: Sink or Swim business plan competition.

I was also amazed by their level of honesty. Some students had to retake subjects and were struggling to see the journey through, while others cruised without any great sense of the journey beyond tertiary education. A few were not even passionate about their line of study but felt compelled to see it through to please their parents or because it was the right thing to do.
None of this was news to me, I remember feeling the same way. Finishing high school is scary. Finishing university even more so! I'm not going to lecture young people on what they should or should not do beyond university because careers are both planned and emergent. Sometimes the best careers arise from sheer trial and error or happening upon a boss who will take you on a wild adventure that allows you to learn and grow as an independent thinker and high performing professional.
What I can help with are the applications graduates produce for job market entry. It's not hard to talk about your education or work experience on an application, most young people handle that part well. But when I delve to find out more about the particular strengths of an individual, I am often met by a blank look, silence or an answer that is rattled off but when probed cannot be justified.
It's not enough to list what you are good at. Always ask yourself, "How do I know I am good in these areas?". When working with graduates, I dig via a series of questions until we find tangible evidence that reveals more depth of thinking and practice. This can be used to personalise the job application, show achievement, and communicate personality and cultural fit. According to Ben Reeves, head of the Australian Association of Graduate Employers (AAGE), "Cultural fit is the criteria that is most commonly assessed by employers. Employers are trying to make the best possible evaluation of whether each candidate will be able to hit the ground running and start contributing as quickly as possible."
So how do you show evidence of your skills and attributes in a way that will communicate your cultural fit and make employers stand up and take notice? Well, this is where advice from a careers expert can be invaluable. Stay tuned for my next blog where I will give you some tips to take your application to the next level and get noticed by employers and recruiters. With a bit of help from the experts, the sky is the limit!

CHIMAIRA Guitarist Matt DeVries Discusses His Leaving the Band
Chris Harris of GunShyAssassin reported on Chimaira guitarist Matt DeVries explaining the reasons behind his impending exit from the group.
"I've been with Chimaira for over 10 years now, and in that period of time, I've had the chance to achieve a number of goals I set for myself early in life establishing myself as a musician, finding my own style and developing it within a band, touring every corner of the world, and connecting with people from all walks of life," says Matt. "I'm fortunate that my skills as a guitar player and musician have afforded me the opportunities to reach those goals.
"Over the past year, I looked closely at what drove me, and asked myself where I wanted to go as both an artist and as a person," he continued. "What motivated me as a kid from Cleveland wasn't necessarily the same thing that now drives me today as a man with a family. I realized that as much as Chimaira had defined my past decade and made me who I am today, it was time to explore my next decade of music, and grow into the person I need to be. For that reason, I have decided to leave Chimaira.
"It goes without saying that Chimaira has some of the best fans in the world, and I'd like to thank each and every one of you out there who has ever supported us. Every show, every photograph, every backstage meet-and-greet, every truck stop, every scorching hot day on a summer festival, and every cold night out by the bus I will never forget you. You have inspired me, driven me, and taught me humility through your own personal experiences and words in ways I never thought possible. I am forever in debt to you. Thank you."
Matt then thanked his band mates and his endorsers.
He also said he is "looking forward to the opportunities within Six Feet Under, and seeing what potential lies ahead. I'm also very excited about the possibility of providing instruction to other guitar players through online educational platforms, and am currently in talks with JamPlay to make that happen. I'm also a big believer in the next generation of social media, and am committed to connecting with those interested in working with me or wanting to follow me. To help me do that, I will be launching a massive online campaign in 2012, complete with a new website, significant Facebook presence, revitalized Twitter feed, and fresh YouTube content all with a surprise in mind."

At DefiNet Contact , we believe a properly placed data collection form is one of the most important marketing tools on your website. Use this tool to collect information on your viewers and also to follow up on their recent visit.

Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse is one of my favourite animated films of the last decade and I'm only 20 years old. That's like half of my life and I've seen a lot of animated movies. I'm aware that having grown up on Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy had an influence on my initial desire to see this film. I'm also aware that the legacy behind the characters skewed the viewing experience so that I am more inclined to enjoy the end product. That being said, I did the same for Venom (2018) and I kind of hated that movie so lets get into it.
Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse
Plot Synopsis (Spoiler Free)
Teenager Miles Morales is bitten by a radioactive spider and realises that Peter Parker isn't the only Spider-Man. When a super collider merges multiple universes into Miles', their respective Spider-People band together to fight a threat that endangers all realities. Miles must rise above his worries as a new hero; going through a handful of self-discoveries along the way.
Thankfully detached from the Marvel Cinematic Universe
With every Marvel superhero receiving sequels, tie-ins and spin-offs, I was intimidated to go into one of these films without knowing what's been happening for the last ten years. Lucky for me, Spider-Verse is entirely contained and requires zero background info on anything else in the franchise. So even those of you suffering from superhero fatigue, this is a fresh and engaging tale that strays far from the formulaic methods of the live action movies.
Masterful use of Animation as a Storytelling Tool
Spider-Verse is a visually gorgeous movie that thrives in its comic book style. Live action adaptations can only go so far when they attempt to recapture the vibrancy and life that is found in a meticulously drawn comic. Spider-Verse pushes the boundaries of what we should expect out of an animated blockbuster. Little comic speech bubbles and sound effect words pop up during the action but don't distract you from what's happening on screen – everything just feels so natural. Miles' hobby of graffiti/street art is just one of the in-story elements that allow the colours in this film to really *pop*.
I found the narrative to be a great blend of toned-down character development with Miles and hyped-up action with Spider-Man. Exploring the theme of living up to expectations, Spider-Verse never felt like a stereotypical "kid's film" to me. Sure, there were children in the cinema I went to and they weren't making much noise so I can only assume they were enjoying the film. However, the kid-friendly exterior and "follow your dreams, kid" narrative never felt distracting or too gushy.
Blending traditional Superhero score with meaningful popular music
The soundtrack is phenomenal – none of the forgettable score you're used to hearing in every Marvel movie. I've listened to this soundtrack countless times now and it never gets old. I don't seem to be the only one who thinks this either. Post Malone and Swae Lee's "Sunflower" boasts a whopping 628 million views with a striking music video using scenes from the film. Additionally, soundtrack standouts "Home" and "What's Up Danger" have hit a combined 15 million views on Sony's official YouTube channel.
Although this could cynically be seen only as a ploy to sell Sony headphones (which are, admittedly, brandished throughout), music is a huge part of Miles' character and a way to express himself in a world that won't give him the space to breathe. The soundtrack became more of a look into Miles' feelings than something to just boost the mood of an action scene. Surprisingly, they even got a few minutes of Brooklyn's own Biggie Smalls to play which caught me off guard. Spider-Verse has a great awareness of its audience and its soundtrack proves that.
The most engaging cast of characters in a Superhero movie
I get that seems like a ballsy claim but I really believe it to be true. The three lead characters are everything you need in an action film aimed at a young audience. Miles is a charismatic lead that is shown for his strengths and his flaws. This makes Miles utterly relatable and the film makes sure to designate time into showing his insecurities as well as the powers that he gains.
It's made very apparent he values how other people see him: comparing the reaction of his old and new classmates for example. This is then emphasised when the narrative throws five other spider-people to compare himself to – he continues to need their approval as he does with his peers. For a teen audience, that hits home hard and makes his journey from "Miles to Spiderman" so engaging.
That's just the protagonist, Gwen and Peter B. Parker are so well written and likeable that you never have an issue rooting for the good guys. Admittedly, the supporting characters of Spider-Ham, Peni Parker, and Spider-Man Noir were used almost exclusively as one-liners. That being said, I do think their inclusion is really important to the tone of the film. Without them, Spider-Verse wouldn't have been able to achieve such a dark tone in the moments it did. Without these three to alleviate the tension I'm sure the writers wouldn't be able to pitch what they managed to achieve.
Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse is the first film that I have pre-ordered on Blu-ray because I was so excited to see it over and over again. I've been trying to justify whether or not Spider-Man is my favourite Marvel IP and writing this review has pointed every finger towards "yes". If Chris Pratt wasn't so charming as Starlord it wouldn't even be a question. So, even if the last superhero film you watched was the angst ridden Venom (2018) or an R-Rated take on the now over-saturated genre, Spider-Verse has a story that will keep you interested in cartoony representations of comic book heroes as long as Miles Morales is there.

Stories have always inspired me. I love them in their many forms. Books, comics, movies, audiobooks, etc. In high school, I adored English class. I can remember especially looking forward to reading Macbeth day after day. I fell in love with Lady Macbeth. Ever since I can remember I wanted to be able to tell stories. I wanted to make people laugh and cry and feel all the things I felt. But here's the thing, sitting down and writing about yourself is scary stuff. I tried months ago and failed. I felt like nobody cared and that it was pointless.
After talking it over with Ben, we decided that blogging really used to help me. So, without further ado… lifeoffaif is back! If you're easily offended or are made uncomfortable easily then this probably isn't the place for you. I like to talk about anything from my crazy family to my crippling bipolar disorder. While I realize not everyone is interested in my life, I do have a point behind this writing. I hope to help people. I want people to see that it's ok to talk about their mental illness. I look up to Jenny Lawson http://thebloggess.com/ she freely writes about her life and struggles and it has helped me want to do the same.
Ben and I went to the beach this past weekend. Now, child Faith would be all, "Yay the beach!". Adult Faith however usually dreads the beach. I hate sand. Almost as much as I hate glitter. But I love my husband and he loves the beach. So, what did I do? I sucked that crap up and got in that freezing disgusting ocean! It was scary and hard but once I got in Ben's smile and joy erased all my apprehension. We had a great time playing in the ocean, we were crazy sore afterward because we are both extremely out of shape. Totally worth it. We also did the boardwalk which is always a struggle for me. I don't do crowds. Crowds have this effect on me where my chest gets all tight and I get all panicky. Once again, Ben to the rescue. He suggested we play PokemonGo because the boardwalk has many Pokestops. We caught lots of new Pokemon. Then, we even got our picture drawn by this very sweet caricature artist. So once again scary horrible situation avoided by Ben's genius.
If you've made it this far I would just like to thank you for taking the time to read my first post. You're awesome!

The next installment of my Restored English Translation (RET): Beresheet (Genesis) chapter 3. As usual, it contains the Aleph Tav and the Hebrew names and a glossary for the Hebrew names. Nothing much else to make a commentary out of, apart from an observation about the serpent who tempted Chavah (Eve). Notice verse 14: "And YEHOVAH ELOHIM said to the serpent, 'Because you have done this, you are cursed above all beasts, and above every animal of the field. On your belly you shall go, and you will eat dust all the days of your life." (RET) So, despite popular portrayals, the snake originally had legs, and would have looked just like a lizard. (The 1966 movie The Bible: In the Beginning… correctly portrayed the snake as having originally had legs, and shows it losing them when YAH cursed it.)
1 And the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which YEHOVAH ELOHIM had made. And he said to the woman, "Is it so that ELOHIM said, 'You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?" 2 And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, ELOHIM has said, 'You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'" 4 And the serpent said to the woman, "You will surely not die, 5 for ELOHIM knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be as ELOHIM, knowing good and evil." 6 And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make wise; and she took of its fruit and ate. And she also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 7 And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves girdles. 8 And they heard את the call of YEHOVAH ELOHIM walking in the garden in the breeze of the day. And the human and his wife hid themselves from the presence of YEHOVAH ELOHIM in the middle of the trees of the garden. 9 And YEHOVAH ELOHIM called to Adam and said to him, "Where are you?" 10 And he replied, "את Your voice I heard in the garden, and I was afraid, for I am naked, and I hid myself." 11 And He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree which I commanded you not to eat from?" 12 And the human said, "The woman whom You gave to be with me, she has given to me of the tree, and I ate." 13 And YEHOVAH ELOHIM said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" And the woman replied, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." 14 And YEHOVAH ELOHIM said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, you are cursed above all beasts, and above every animal of the field. On your belly you shall go, and you will eat dust all the days of your life. 15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise Him on the heel."
16 And to the woman He said, "I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; in sorrow you shall bring forth children. And your desire shall be toward your husband, and he shall rule over you."
17 And to Adam He said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and you have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it', cursed is the ground for your sake. In sorrow shall you eat of it all the days of your life; 18 it will bring forth thorns and thistles for you. And you shall eat את the plant of the field. 19 In the sweat of your face shall you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are, and to dust you shall return." 20 And the human called his wife's name Chavah, because she became the mother of all living. 21 And YEHOVAH ELOHIM made coats of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.
22 And YEHOVAH ELOHIM said, "Behold, the human become as one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put forth his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever…" 23 Therefore YEHOVAH ELOHIM sent him forth from the Garden of Eden, to till את the ground which he was taken from. 24 And He drove out the human. And He fixed at the east of the Garden of Eden את the Keruvim, and the flaming sword whirling around to guard the way of the tree of life.
YEHOVAH: the Lord's name
ELOHIM: God
Chavah: Eve
Keruvim: Cherubim, a class of angel

It's almost Back to School time, so I thought it would be fun to come up with some easy Disney Frozen® Lunch Box Ideas to kick off the new school year! Themed lunch boxes are such a fun way to get kids excited to eat their lunch and also remind them of how special they are!
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Disney. All opinions are entirely my own.
My daughter gets her slow eating from me – I often am the last one eating at family get-togethers, to the point where even my extended family doesn't bother pretending to wait for me anymore – they just leave me at the table!
Add to that the distraction of friends and the allure of conversation (and the dreaded "20 minute lunch time"), and my packed lunches barely stand a chance to get eaten.
I've found a few things that help me with getting her to eat a wholesome lunch:
- Snack-sized portions – this way she can eat the remainder of her lunch at either of her two recesses, and I think she finds it less intimidating than a large sandwich or main dish.
- Fun themes – the discovery makes her lunch a bit more exciting and appetizing and they are a fun way to let her know that I am thinking of her. I'll share more about this below.
- Green Smoothie Powder – I send a scoop of this to school alongside 150mL of water and it helps get a good amount of nutrients in faster than she would be able to eat them.
- Having Her Help – we have a "lunch making station" with pre-portioned snacks and lunch ingredients to empower her to help make and pack her lunches.
Disney Frozen Themed Lunch Box Ideas
Themed lunch boxes may seem super intimidating and time consuming but that doesn't have to be the case!
I'm not doing crazy decorating with rice balls and seaweed, or spending hours with little tweezers perfectly arranging a pretty lunch. (How well do those stand up to kids dropping their backpacks everywhere, anyways?)
What I do is I brainstorm a fun theme that I can carry out throughout the week, and figure out a few fun touches that I can give her lunch to suggest that theme. Since I'm doing the same theme all week, I find that I can re-use the same elements in different ways throughout the week (ie, using carrots for an Olaf sandwich "nose" and also in a "melted Olaf" veggies and dip combo).
Also, I can prepare themed snack mixes or homemade treats at the beginning of the week and dole it out through the week.
These Disney Frozen-themed lunch boxes all took about 5 minutes to make and are well-balanced for a nutritious lunch you can feel good about sending to school.
While shopping for the ingredients at Meijer, I found these Disney Frozen® String Cheese in the dairy section which I just knew my daughter would love – and it had the added bonus of doing some of my themed work for me! (They also have a Colby Jack snack cheese and a few cheese products with other characters. You can see the other cheese options here, along with some fun kids' activities.)
The Disney Frozen String Cheese is made with just four ingredients, including milk, and is a good source of calcium and protein. I love that it enhances the wholesomeness of these lunches while still being a fun snack I know my daughter will be pumped to find in her lunch box. (Plus they would be great for an after-school snack or tiding kids over on the way to an extra-curricular.)
I also thought it would be fun to add a bonus "character" to a few of the lunch boxes by drawing an Olaf on the back of some of the cheese strings. This is a super simple touch that you can do without any natural artistic ability. I even made you a step-by-step to see just how I did it.
This would also be fun for craft-loving kids to try to do! You just need your Disney Frozen String Cheese, a black permanent marker and an orange permanent marker.
Carrots would be a super easy theme-enhancer for these lunches, since they double as Sven's favorite snack and Olaf's nose, but my daughter will not eat carrots in her lunch. She's fine with them at supper or even after school, but I find they always come home not eaten. I think they are just genuinely time consuming for a quick school lunch.
Rather than show you a bunch of pretty lunches with carrots, I wanted to be real and show you the lunches my daughter really will eat – including the chocolate treat I tucked into each one! (I did try carrots for one lunch at the bottom – and yup, she took a single bite out of one and the rest came back uneaten). I think above all, include items your child is going to eat in their lunch. I do find I can sometimes include one new food in these lunch boxes, but I'm more committed to her actually eating her lunch rather than making a show of including tons of pretty, healthy food she won't eat.
We used our stainless steel Planet Box Lunch Box for all of these lunches – I love how durable it is, and it has never leaked on us!
Now, let's get onto the lunches!
This lunch features:
- half a cob of corn, cut in half (easier than trying to eat corn kernals – and the custodian will thank you for it)
- tortilla cut into "snowflake" shapes with a cookie cutter
- homemade guacamole (an avocado seasoned with a hit of lime juice, salt and pepper)
- sugar snap peas
- two chocolate treats
- hand-drawn Olaf juice box
- Disney Frozen String Cheese
This lunch includes:
- bagel with cream cheese, orange segment "nose" and blueberry eyes
- blueberries
- soup (in thermos)
- hand-drawn Olaf juice box
- Disney Frozen String Cheese
This lunch is made up of:
- snowflake tortilla sandwiches
- yogurt with winter sprinkles
- blueberry and orange fruit mix
- two chocolate treats
- hand-drawn Olaf juice box
- Disney Frozen String Cheese
This lunch features:
- snowflake "flurry" sandwich
- guacamole
- sugar snap peas
- two chocolate treats
- hand-drawn Olaf juice box
- Disney Frozen String Cheese
This lunch includes:
- "melted Olaf" ranch dip with pretzels and carrots for dipping <– grab our homemade ranch dip recipe here
- small sugar donuts (Fri-YAY!)
- blueberry and orange fruit kebabs
- Disney Frozen String Cheese
- butter chicken (in thermos)
- hand-drawn Olaf juice box
Would you just look at that super excited face? Such a ham!
Pin this collection of easy Disney Frozen lunch box ideas to help make your kids' lunch boxes extra special!
These Disney Frozen lunches were so easy to make and they were a resounding success, with nearly empty lunch boxes coming home every afternoon.

Origin 3 — Fraud and scam!
We contracted with Origin 3 for website design and hosting in late November/early December. Thankfully, we did not make the second and final payment for services rendered, and we did receive "looks" showing their progress in the design before they went AWOL. We also put the first payment on our company Amex, which Amex covers. The problem is that all our stationary, business cards, emails, etc are based on the domain named laneconsultantsllc.com. What a hassle this is going to be.
Furthermore, what about the fact that we signed our contract AFTER they stopped taking customer complaints? Shouldn't legal action be taken against a company going belly-up with old clients while they take money from new clients?
I doubt anything comes of this. I hope the rest of you find restitution.

What the heck is FameDigital and why should one care? For starters, it has countless DVDs and juicy 1080p scenes. It does not just swing the one way with straight porn. Instead, you also get some amateur sluts, pornstars, shemales, lesbians and others. Thankfully, it does not limit you in any way when it comes to downloads. Also, you get daily updates and that's awesome.
FameDigital Review
If you're reading this, you've hit the mother lode of porn. That's because FameDigital features DVDs and many pornstars and amateurs of all ages. Not to mention every type of sex scene you could crave. The site has bisexuals, shemales, interracial and fetish scenes. Now let's get into the details!
FameDigital Membership
To become a member of Fame Digital, you can get one of the following options
- 12-month ($95.40 or $7.95 per month)
- 3-month ($68.95 or $22.98 per month)
- 1-month membership ($29.95)
For a sneak peak, visitors can choose a 3-day trial membership ($2.95). Of course, every member gets bonus network access to a total of 27 sites. These include:
- Rocco Siffredi
- Peter North
- Silvia Saint
- Out of The Family
- Transsexual Road Trip
- Devil's Film Parodies
- … and more
Porn Content
Anyway, let's get to the meat and potatoes of Fame Digital. The site has a collection of 4,600+ DVDs that last 1 to 2 hours and are split into around 18,000 scenes. Around 6,000 of those scenes can be played in Full HD, while the rest is up to HD or 720p.
They are available for streaming or download without limit in multiple MP4 formats with bit rates up to 7000k. There are also 8,900 high-resolution galleries. However, galleries for the early scenes are only vid caps, which is ridiculous.
An important to note is that the content is original. However, it's not exclusive to this site because it some of it can be found elsewhere. Aside from that, there are daily updates! So, this already massive collection continues to expand.
The material on FameDigital is incredibly diverse and features Asian girls, Latinas, ebonies, Indian models, and white chicks. They range in age from 18 to mature and GILF. Not to mention all shapes and sizes; from skinny to BBW. With plenty of fetishes available, you can also explore incest sex and BDSM fantasies or watch midgets. How about trannies, group sex, parodies, and a ton of amateur girls? They got it all.
FameDigital Usability
With so much available on this site, you might think that navigation is difficult, but that's far from the truth. In fact, the site looks appealing and has a layout that quite easy to use. The content is split into scenes, DVDs, studios, and pictures.
Each of these sections has a few different filters and tons of categories to help you find what you need. However, you will encounter limited pagination. Finally, there's a model index with a content overview but it doesn't have any bios. Other than that, members can create their own playlists and rate content! Unfortunately, you have no way to leave comments or add stuff to your favorites.
It's safe to say that FameDigital is one of the best premium porn sites currently available. It has an impressive amount of porn DVDs, thousands of scenes, galleries and a huge variety of content that covers everything. I do recommend this site.

City to Introduce New On-Street Parking Ambassadors
May 5, 2015
Building on recent improvements to how the City provides parking services, a new on-street parking ambassador model is being introduced, bringing what has traditionally been a contracted enforcement model, in-house under the City's customer service fold. Parking availability and a positive parking experience is essential to supporting an active and vibrant downtown, and specifically the needs of Victoria's downtown businesses and the tourism sector.
Starting January 1, Parking Ambassadors will be customer-focused City representatives and advocates for encouraging high parking turnover to support downtown businesses, at the same time providing directions, answering questions and providing additional eyes and ears on the street. An in-house model provides the City greater ability to offer a parking experience consistent with customer service objectives and stakeholder needs, while still regulating parking to ensure there is high turnover of parking spaces downtown.
Parking ambassadors will be unionized staff, represented by the Local 50 Chapter of the Canadian Union of Public Employees. The model will include full-time and part-time positions.
Ambassadors will participate in a comprehensive customer service training program, in cooperation with downtown businesses. Timed with the new Ambassadors, the Parking Review Office will also move into City Hall, making it easier for customers to pay their tickets, or have tickets reviewed.
Commissionaires will continue to provide parking enforcement services until December 31, 2015 to allow for transition. During that time, the City will be hiring for approximately 20-25 ambassador positions.Go to Top
