Hello all! Here at Charleston Crafted, we LOVE cupcakes! I love baking them and Sean loves eating them and so we are always excited to try a new cupcake mix. We spotted this one, FUNdamiddles at the new Super Walmart. It features cookies and cream cupcakes with the cream in the middle.
The recipe was pretty easy. You just add water, eggs, and oil to the mix and stir.
You put about half of the dough into a cookie sheet with cupcake papers. Then you squeeze a blob of icing into each and top with the remaining dough. Bake in the oven and ta-da!
The verdict? The cream in the middle is cool. But the cake was only so-so. If you want an amazing cookie cupcake recipe, try our oreo cupcake, which only has one extra step over these and taste about a thousand times as good. But we liked the icing in the middle- it doesn't get hard after a few days like icing on the top can. I will definitely try this technique again- maybe with a big fat marshmallow!
What have you been baking lately?

In the act of appropriating the political voice and thematic structure of European Surrealism and melding it with uniquely Japanese subjects, Kansuke Yamamoto (1914–1987) deeply influenced the development of Japanese Surrealism, and became a singularly important figure in the history of Japanese photography.
Yamamoto's images offer a fascinating insight into an isolationist culture that was at the time largely inaccessible to Western inquiry, and while his elaborate and poetic images can inspire an emotional response even in the absence of context, in order to critically appreciate his work it is important to understand the cultural and political climate of Japan during his lifetime.
"Artwork comes out of some disobedient spirit against readymade things of society. … Pure spirit should be a proactive spirit that attracts a new generation. … Rebellion against each generation and the reformation of a generation is our purpose." – Kansuke Yamamoto

Nokia has announced the release of the code to the web browser for their S60 phones. The browser is based on WebKit and KHTML. At Akademy last year the developers told us how they plan to be active Open Source contributors. It will be used on ESeries, NSeries devices and 3250 phones soon.
So, how close are WebKit and KHTML these days? Is this browser really "based on" KHTML, or is it more based on WebKit, a descendant of KHTML? Their press release only mentions Apple, not KDE, sadly.
S60WebKit and WebKit look close, since they share a repository, and a name. Is KHTML getting left behind?
since Apple and KDE are cooperationg more closely through kthml.org, webkit and KHTML aren't that different anymore, and when KHTML2 and the other enhancements to javascript etc are finished in KDE 4, Apple will start to use those as well.
Nope.. WebKit and KHTML are more different that ever. We do however share KJS implementation now.
Apple is not going to adapt anything major from KHTML, and KHTML2 is not even likely to be adapted by KHTML ;)
To clarify the relationship, Apple is also moving away from using the name KHTML in WebCore.
Two completely different answers, can someone clear this out?
Could you elaborate Allan ?
I clearly don't understand KDE strategy with KHTML (if we have any strategy). Why is it not possible for KDE4 to have Konqueror use either Webkit, either KHTML ?
WebKit doesn't provide most of the APIs any more. Nor would it build with any Qt or KDE version.
Of course, WebKit is GUI independent. But how hard would it be to make a KDE frontend?
Quite hard and for hardly any benefit.
The only compelling advantage of WebKit at this point is the editing functionalities. Porting those to KHTML is a much easier and desirable path.
As for rendering and ecma, it's pretty much a tie. There are a *lot* of bugfixes and some functionalities that have not made it into WebCore at all, since they are not making any backporting effort, whereas we do.
WebKit enhancements have been very limited in the past 6 monthes, as they needed to go cross platform and basically turned their finests into windows programmers (poor guys!).
Should KDE standardize on Webkit, then?
If I understand correctly the situation. What would be needed, would be to split KHTML between a glue interface between the HTML engine and Qt and the HTML engine. Then we could choose either Webkit or the revamped KHTML or KHMTL2 for the engine.
Are there any plans to do that? Does anybody know what the KHTML roadmap is?
They do mention KDE, just not directly on that article. But if you navigate to http://www.s60.com/business/productinfo/applicationsandtechnologies/webr..., as they suggest in the end, KDE and Konqueror are mentioned on the first Paragraph.
The title makes it sound like they're doing something incredibly generous . Aren't they forced to do so given the LPGL license of KHTML and so Webkit? and by the way, how can Nokia relicense something LGPL under BSD? it's a little confusing there
They are forced to release their version of Webkit (which is, of course, their version of KHTML as well).
They are not forced to release the actual browser. For example, Apple is not releasing Safari as open source.
this is a non-news, please move along
it looks like the nokia browser is not floss, but they do release a floss api and a floss implementation of the browser that is ReferenceUI Reindeer. is that it?
It seems that KHTML had nothing to win by being licensed under the Lesser GPL (LGPL). In other words, KHTML and KDE developers got the short end of the stick, while big business opportunists like Apple took advantage of KHTML without lifting a finger to help it and give back. Apple did the _very least_ they could get away with under the LGPL, which was obviously not enough for KDE developers to improve KHTML for the benefit of FOSS users:
So why continue to SUCK UP to DRM-loving big business by releasing KHTML and KDE-libs code under the LGPL, when you can fight for Freedom and for the users' rights by licensing _all_ your code under the GPL, the license with the strongest copyleft protections?
Nonsense. Nokia have done what the LGPL asks them to do. What else do you want? Do you want them to come round to your house and cook your dinner for you too? If that's what the LGPL was meant to achieve, then it would say so.
KDE has benefited a lot from Webkit. Stop being an FSF troll!
You are a troll, too.
Who do you think created the LGPL?
Stallman's FSF, of course.
Agreed 100%. Apple are worse than Microsoft; instead of just competing with open source, they rip us off.
The LGPL might be arguably too tame, but at least KDE didn't make the mistake of licensing very important technologies under an artistic license (alarmingly much of KDE is under these licenses).

Dear Friends of Loveland Parcel Data and landgrid.com,
A summary of updates in January of 2020 and the upcoming pipeline is below:
Parcel Age Stats:
USPS Vacancy, Residential indicators, and Situs address normalization - Updated in January 2020, and we have exported the full dataset to reflect those updates.
GeoDB File Format Deprecated - We plan to offer GeoDB files for the foreseeable future. However, we encourage people to test and switch to the GeoPackage (.gpkg.zip) files as they offer all the advantages of GeoDB, but in a better supported format. See below. We are planning on retiring the GeoDB format eventually.
GeoPackage Format - GeoPackage or GeoPKG, (.gpkg) files support geospatial data very well, with none of the limitations of shapefiles, and are faster to work with than geojsons. They are well supported by Esri tools and open source tools alike. They offer all the advantages of GeoDB files, but are better supported across the GIS tool landscape. As we sunset the GeoDB format this will be the format we suggest folks use unless a specific use case suggests another format would be better for them. (ND)GeoJSON, sql, csv, and shapefile formats will all continue to be options.
Coverage Report - Updated for this month and available here:
For all full dataset customers, the updated data is available for download to bulk data clients in these formats: GeoPKG .gpkg (suggested), GeoJSON, Shapefile, and Postgres SQL files. In addition, this data has been updated on the landrid.com website.
If your organization uses a custom export we are updating your data at the moment and if you don't see the latest updates, please drop us a line.
A Data Dictionary for the Loveland Standard Schema is always available here:
A machine-readable version of this list is included in the `verse` table available in all the formats above as well as CSV format for use in spreadsheets. To find the latest updates in verse, sort by 'last_refresh' and use the 'filename_stem' column to identify the file.
Data updated or added from the county in January and live now:

We've recently updated our basemap here at LandGrid and it's a pretty big change from what we had online before!
Let's take a dig through some of the different changes we've made to help improve your LandGrid experience.
The most noticeable change is that we now have a lighter base color, to improve parcel legibility, as well as making it easier to see at the state level what places are online or not online. This was one of the main bits of feedback we received on our previous basemap, and we're happy to report we think this really improves the visibility in general. We've also improved the city hierarchy on the map to provide a bit more legibility in terms of population size, and also by which cities are shown at different zoom levels.
We've also changed the color coding of underlying land uses to subtler hues, especially in areas where there's public lands or forests underneath the parcels. Here's a side by side example of the same area within Midtown Detroit, using the old and new basemaps.
We've also updated the base streets layer provided by Mapbox in our map, in order to provide more up to date street names and layouts, in order to keep pace with rapid development in some areas. We've also changed the way we visualize highway and expressway icons, and now use the official icons for these types of roads. You can see the difference in these two screenshots from the catch-all boxes we had before.
The final big change, and a really exciting one personally, is much better transit wayfinding and icon placement on the map. This includes custom transit icons in certain cities, and better airport icon indicators. Below is an example, using Center City Philadelphia and various SEPTA and trolley stops.
We hope you enjoy the new and improved basemap, happy mapping!

Included was a previously-announced $1.35 million civil money penalty assessed on Homestreet Bank, Seattle, Washington. There were also prohibition orders issued to a former branch banker team leader for Branch Banking and Trust Company, Winston-Salem, NC, found to have stolen funds from a customer's account; and the former president, CEO and vice chairman of the board of The Farmers Bank, Carnegie, OK, found to have intentionally caused the bank to pay for numerous expenses charged to his personal credit card, which were for the benefit of himself or his family. The Farmers Bank was also issued a Prompt Corrective Action order.

BANJALUKA, September 11 /SRNA/ - Serb member of the BiH Presidency Milorad Dodik said Wednesday in Banjaluka that measures related to demographic development and population policy in Republika Srpska must be part of legal solutions in order to be implemented strictly.
After the meeting where the scientific study "Demographic Development and Population Policy of Republika Srpska - Situation Analysis and Proposed Measures" was presented, Dodik told the press that the Republika Srpska institutions have so far implemented a number of measures aimed at improving the situation in the field of demographic policy.
He stated that in the forthcoming period, it was planned to have free preschool education in cooperation with local communities.
Dodik believes that Republika Srpska and Serbia must work together to identify measures in the firlds of demographic development and population policy.
The research-scientific study "Demographic Development and Population Policy of Republika Srpska - Situation Analysis and Proposed Measures" was developed by an expert team led by Draško Marinković at the initiative of Republika Srpska President Željka Cvijanović.
Apart from Dodik, the meeting was attended by Cvijanović, Republika Srpska Prime Minister Radovan Višković, ministers - the members of the Demographic Reconstruction Council, and expert team members.
The study presents an overview of the situation in the field of demographic policy in Srpska, as well as a proposal of general measures for improving the situation in this field, which should be the subject of implementation of the Republika Srpska competent institutions.
Members of the expert team are the most prominent experts in the field of demography, reproductive health and social welfare Branislav Đurđev, Mirjana Rašević, Mirjana Bobić, Milimir Mučibabić and sociologist Jovanka Vuković. /end/vos

Erin Formation
The sandstones of the Erin Formation are generally well sorted and range from fine to medium grained, the former grain size predominating. The sandstones are massive and alternate with subordinate blue-grey arenaceous clays. Bands of siltetone, lignite and porcellanite are common. Numerous references have been made to such sedimentary structures as current-bedding, graded-bedding, cross-bedding and slump structures in descriptions of outcrops.
The thickness of the formation exceeds 4,000 feet in the centre of the Erin Syncline

Ohio Man Defies Odds, Bikes To Alaska On Tour De Cure
Monroe Man's Journey To Raise Money In Fight Against Diabetes
An Ohio man who nearly died after flipping off his bicycle is not only biking again, he's peddling all the way to Alaska.
Monroe's Ken Mercurio said he's living proof that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
In three weeks, he'll try something doctors once thought would be impossible.
"I was riding along, and the front fork on the bike snapped and broke and it went into the spokes," Mercurio said. "It broke half the spokes immediately and flipped me right over on my head."
Mercurio was riding with a group in California in November 2007 when his life nearly ended doing what he loves
He said his mind went blank when his head hit the highway, and when he came to, his neck looked more robot than human. Surgeons implanted two rods and an assortment of screws into Mercurio's neck, five vertebrae were fused together and he had three broken ribs.
Doctors said it could have been much worse.
"The neurosurgeon would say it to me every time I'd see him, 'You are lucky to be alive,'" Mercurio said.
Four and a half years later, Mercurio is now riding a custom bike that allows him to sit more upright. He's about to make a 4,200-mile, seven-week journey from Butte, Mont., to Alaska and back.
"If you have a desire to do something, you can do it with effort and practice," Mercurio said. "If it requires practice and determination, I just think it can be done."
The 60-year-old will make the trip with four others he'll meet in Montana. They'll watch him like a hawk, he said, because one slip or fall could be his last.
Mercurio said the risk doesn't even compare to the reward.
"When I was lying in the emergency room that day, the first doctor said, 'You'll never ride a bike again,' so the fact that I can just makes me thankful to God," he said.
Mercurio's voyage begins June 15. It's called the Tour de Cure , and he's doing it to raise money in the fight against diabetes.

Today I attended the AMWC's Networking Event at the Student Center at 6:30 PM. The style of the event was like speed dating, so everyone that was there would take 3 minutes to talk to one of the professionals there and then rotate. This kind of networking was very unique, and if there was a particular person you wanted to talk to longer, you could go up afterwards and talk to them. Many of the people that attended were my friends from the Communication major, as well as some Journalism people. There were professionals from many different fields there, but many of them seemed to be related to television or sports in some way. Getting to talk to so many people in the broadcasting field that are not that much older than I am was very helpful, and put me more at ease for graduating. Jenna from Channel 4 and Liz from Channel 2 were the two I found most helpful and interesting to talk to. Liz extended the invitation to email her and ask her anything if I ever had a question or needed help. All in all I'm happy I went, and I honestly should have gone to more networking events during my other years as well because it was very helpful to talk to professionals in their respective fields.

This film will inspire viewers with it uplifting message. The goal of the film is to motivate the viewers into instilling three main strategies on how to effectively exercise leadership so that any organization becomes more productive.
First of all, viewers will learn about the culture of an organization that consists of common customs & beliefs as well as shared values that determine how the member of the organization interact with one another to fulfill their mandate.
The second strategy involves teaching viewers how to promote the team over oneself. There are studies which back up claims that when a group (average) exercises team work, they are more productive (1/3 increase). If this is translated to an above-average consolidation of individuals then so much more can be achieved.
Last of all, a bias for action will be inculcated into the viewers especially now that changes constantly happen within organizations. Leaders can very well create a work atmosphere and culture of action and optimism. All they need to do is make sure that personnel are given the prerogative to act on their initiative, and provide empowerment and decisiveness.
The leaders of any organization will soon develop the following:
- An understanding of core values of the organization.
- Identification of qualities that team members ought to have.
- Recognizing the key components of team work in an organization.
- Assuring empowerment of people so that they can assist in making decisions.
The video demonstrates how the US Coast Guard puts in to practice these and many more ideal leadership qualities. You will then have a better idea on how these principles may be applied to your organization.
The package contains a comprehensive guide and a 23-minute video.

My growth and transformation from being a Construction Safety & Risk Manager to a Construction Technologist has been a steady progression over the past few years. In my presentations I always joke with the crowd about my lifelong fascination with technology. Whether it was my first Commodore 64, Atari Game system, or the newest iPad, I have always enjoyed exploring how technology can educate, entertain, and improve our world. So where am I going with this?
Today I am excited, honored and proud to make a major announcement. Drum roll please….
Your friendly neighborhood ConAppGuru has joined forces with the one and only James Benham and the JBKnowledge team! Yes indeed, you did read that correctly. The ConAppGuru is now part of the amazing JBKnowledge team! As a Consultant at JBKnowledge, I'm excited to transition from the operational side of the industry to helping contractors optimize their operations with innovative technology strategies and solutions. The mission going forward is simple: the ConAppGuru will continue to research, write and speak about the most relevant and useful apps and platforms to improve construction workflows.
The Backstory
I remember hearing James speak for the first time at the AGC IT Forum Conference in 2014. As he was speaking about the current state of technology, I thought to myself, "This guy really gets it!" After his presentation I introduced myself and got his contact info to set up an interview with him for my blog site. It was over the next year that I began attending and presenting at the same conferences as James. The more I heard James speak the more inspired I became about the possibilities for technology in construction.
Over the past few years I have been searching for a team to join where I could focus on helping others in the construction industry learn how to use technology to improve their business workflows. After speaking with James at a few conferences the idea came up, why not join the JBKnowledge team? There were a few personal obstacles that I had to work through to make this idea become a reality, but I am excited to now work to offer the construction industry advanced levels of consulting services in improving their technology programs.
The Opportunity
The construction industry has a reputation for being slow to change and adopt new technology. During my career I have witnessed a lot of resistance to change. I began doing technology focused lunch and learns a few years again with the local AGC of Georgia chapter. It was during these events that I realized how little construction industry professionals were using technology to make their lives easier. Back in 2013, the idea of using an iPad on a jobsite was such a foreign concept.
Earlier this year my daughter found a new cartoon movie to watch called "The Kroods." In one scene, the dad tells his children a story with the punch line that "anything new is BAD!" Watching that scene gave me a feeling of deja vu. A series of memories were stirred in my soul about previous conversations with construction industry veterans that scoffed and laughed at the idea of using a laptop in the field to compile a punch list, view plans on an iPad or conduct a virtual safety inspection through Facetime on a iPhone.
I think the construction industry is just now scratching the surface of how apps and mobile devices can improve workflows on project sites. Over the past few years we have witnessed a change in how projects are bid, managed and closed out. The era of paper-based processes is over and we are moving into the era of digital based management. My new role at JBKnowledge will allow me to help companies unlock the power of new technology to improve their existing technology and core business workflows. My mission to educate and consult with the AEC community about new technology advances is more solid than ever.
The Team
I think the JBKnowledge team is amazing to say the least. The company operates with offices and staff in a few countries and throughout the U.S.. Each team member is focused on making the business world a better place through technology. The company is truly an American Dream! How many companies can say that they started out of a college dorm room and grew into an innovative industry leader?
Along with the consulting service I will help to deliver, JBKnowledge develops a variety of cloud, mobile and wearable solutions for construction and insurance companies. JBKnowledge is also the maker of the SmartBidNet construction bid software, SmartReality augmented reality mobile app, and the SmartInsight online construction network. They're a family of professionals building great technology – and I'm proud to be a part of it.
The Future:
The ConAppGuru blog site started out as a written format dedicated to app and hardware reviews with discussions about workflows. For 2016, JBKnowledge and I have a few new things planned: podcasts, webinars and more "tech roadshows".
Podcast: We have plans to launch a podcast show focused construction technology.
Webinars: Look for a new series about relevant construction tech that can improve workflows.
Tech Roadshows: Be ready to attend regional events hosted in partnership with various construction trade associations.
These are just a few of the surprises we have in store for you in 2016!
Along with contributing educational content and research through media and events, my primary focus at JBKnowledge will be on the consulting services we are offering. If your company would like to develop, improve or refine your technology efforts please reach out to me so that we can begin a conversation.
My new email address is (email@example.com) and my new contact number is (404) 640-2549.
Joining the JBKnowledge team has allowed me to fully unlock my creative juices. They have a saying that rings true for me now: "I am in the right seat, on the right bus, with the right team." I look forward to seeing where this bus will take our team in the future! Stay tuned for more details to come…

Why "In God We Trust" is a Problem
During the Spanish Inquisition, Catholics would find Jews by looking to see who ate pork. They'd offer pork to people they suspected of being Jewish, and if they refused to eat it, they were arrested. Because in the 1400s the only real Spaniard was a Catholic Spaniard. There was a holy war aimed at getting rid of the unwanted.
There was a holy war in the United States, too, in the 1950s. There was a man named Joe McCarthy and he waged a holy war against the atheists. "Today we are engaged in a final, all-out battle between communistic atheism and Christianity," Joe McCarthy, 1950.
At the start, let me make clear that in my opinion no special credit is due those of us who are making an all-out fight against this Godless force-a force which seeks to destroy all the honesty and decency that every Protestant, Jew and Catholic has been taught at his mother's knee. It is a task for which we can claim no special credit for doing. It is one which we are obligated to perform. It is one of the tasks for which we were brought into this world-for which we were born. If we fail to use all the powers of mind and body which God gave us, then I am sure our mothers, wherever they are tonight, may well sorrow for the day of our birth…
Government officials were put on trial, torn apart for anything that seemed vaguely related to atheism, communism, homosexuality, or not quite being patriotic enough. Many lost their careers and were unable to find work, some were wrongfully imprisoned on laws that were later overturned as unconstitutional — often on the basis of incredibly flimsy evidence and accusations from people with personal motives.
Perhaps you remember HUAC, the House Un-American Activities Committee, which created lists of people who weren't considered American enough — American in this case meaning Christian Non-Commies. Over 300 artists were boycotted by Hollywood after being put on HUAC's blacklist and only 10% of them were able to rebuild careers. HUAC did local witch-hunts to ferret out people they didn't like, making sure communities could shun them as Un-American. Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible", about the Salem Witch Trials, was inspired by the way HUAC treated people. It was truly a witch-hunt and the offenders were Godless.
It is thanks to McCarthyism and HUAC that the phrase "Under God" was added to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954 and the phrase "In God We Trust" was adopted as the national motto in 1956, over the previous, all-inclusive motto "E Pluribus Unum" — Out of Many, One. Before the 1950s, the national motto said that the nation was stronger thanks to the many different kinds of people who made up the country; after the 1950s, the national motto said that the nation was stronger because of a Christian God.
To be clear, God was added to the Pledge and as a motto in the 1950s not because of a strong devotion to religion but out of a desire to find and punish atheists.
The House has just overwhelmingly reaffirmed the phrase "In God We Trust" as the national motto. A completely unnecessary move as George W. Bush signed a law in 2002 reaffirming it as the national motto, along with reaffirming "under God" in the pledge. Congress reaffirmed it as the national motto 5 years ago. 2 years ago, the phrase was added to the Capitol visitor center. And this ridiculous vote in the middle of economic crisis that Congress has repeatedly failed to address effectively? OK, so Congress likes God, now can they please get around to liking their constituents?
What drives me crazy is the refusal of the American people and the political establishment to recognize that the so-called tradition of God as part of these things only dates back to the 50s. Everyone seems to think that they were established at the beginning of the country, not as part of a witch-hunt. And they additionally refuse to recognize that not only is it conflating church and state, it is also endorsing the behavior of McCarthy and HUAC. SCOTUS on this issue:
It is quite obvious that the national motto and the slogan on coinage and currency 'In God We Trust' has nothing whatsoever to do with the establishment of religion. Its use is of patriotic or ceremonial character and bears no true resemblance to a governmental sponsorship of a religious exercise. – Aronow v. United States, 1970
It has everything to do with establishing atheists as a second-class group of citizens and tacitly endorsing McCarthy's persecution of those he called "Godless". If the government is not embarrassed by the blatant disregard of the Establishment Clause, it could at least show the good sense to be embarrassed by Joseph McCarthy.
Secular Coalition for America Summit: Day 2
Day one here
Friday, in the wee hours of the morning, right after I'd gotten to sleep, there was some sort of major commotion on the 8th floor of the Hyatt, very near to my room. I'm not sure what it was, but I was told hotel security was called and I definitely heard a man who'd been woken up scream, "Shut the Fuck Up!" I would have applauded, but I wasn't so much for moving.
So, I was very tired when 7:30AM came around. And then breakfast was disappointing. How hard is it to have toast or oatmeal or something other than a very sketchy bready fruity thing? Everything was cooked fruit. How gross. (Note: I'm far too picky for people to take my food opinions seriously.)
We, the godless horde, strode over to the Capitol to meet with some staffers. Herb, Sharon and I first met with Tara O'Neill, who is a Legislative Aide (or LA in Hill Parlance) for Tim Scott. Tara, a Clemson grad, was very nice and polite and listened to all we had to say about HR 1179 2011 (patient rights) and Humanist Military Chaplains. But I'd like to give you some background on Tim Scott, so that you can understand exactly the lion's den we three atheists were stepping into.
Tim Scott is one of the mythological Black Republicans, and he's Southern, so he's about as common as a unicorn. When he was on City Council he erected the 10 Commandments in the Council Office and the AU and ACLU proceeded to sue him to take them down. He campaigned on bringing Christian Values to Washington, and was endorsed by Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin. He opposes gay marriage, and probably doesn't believe in atheists in foxholes.
He took $117,000 in campaign ads from an anti-union group and then proceeded to sponsor legislation that would deny FOOD STAMPS to anyone who had a family member on strike. HR 1135 2011. It's very clever, Sheriff of Nottingham level villainy going on. "I want this brigand found. Starve them out, slaughter their… No, take their live stock. I want Locksley's own people fighting to bring his head in."
But enough about the life and legislation of Tim Scott, the staff was very nice — Tara and the UCSD student who greeted us and the gentleman in charge, who understood immediately what the SCA was doing. We were done there by 9:30 and then headed over to meet with Lindsey Graham's staffer Jason Brown, who is now my favorite person in DC. On the way we walked past an armed guard who had an AK-47 — it didn't look real, they should really make them look less like toys.
Our appointment wasn't until 11, so we went down into the cool/creepy tunnels that run under the capitol, and went to a little coffee shop below ground. Then we went back up to meet with Jason Brown. The Senate offices are much, much nicer than the House offices. Graham's office was decorated with a bunch of pictures and paintings of and by South Carolinians.
Jason Brown is a lawyer working as a Legislative Aide for Lindsey Graham and he took us to a relatively swank conference room and we talked primarily about the issue of Humanist Military Chaplains. He asked us some questions that implied an interest and definite understanding of why it was important to us. That was reassuring. Graham is an interesting character in terms of willingness to not toe the Republican Party Line at all times, and as someone on the Committee on Armed Services, he's a good person to have on your side in this issue.
After that meeting, I went to Union Station, which is apparently just a large mall without a candy store, and met some others for lunch at Pizzeria Uno. At 2, the panel discussion were set to begin. Fred Edwords, who shall be Fredwords henceforth, the head of COR was the first to arrive. He is working with some people in Columbia to get some buildboards here as well as some media training for locals, so it was nice to see a face I've seen a lot of e-mails from of late.
The panel was filled out by David Silverman (American Atheists), Jesse Galef (SSA), and Sally Quinn (editor of On Faith, Washington Post). They spent some time talking about the rapture, which was supposed to happen Saturday, and how good it has been for the cause of Atheism. David Silverman had been on CNN several times, and Herb Silverman was fielding media phone calls all day.
Sally Quinn then spoke for a while, and she was interesting, though I'm not sure I agree with her or where she's coming from — it could be a generational thing. She had some good zingers though.
You all look like you're going to hell to me. Tomorrow.
The world is not going to end tomorrow, keep on flossing.
Not one person in this room will be elected president of the United States. There will be a woman, gay, and muslim president before there is an atheist president.
Effective media strategy is based on knowing more about faith than the other guy. This is what makes Hitchens so good, he makes them just give up. PEW says atheists are more knowledgeable about religion than the faithful.
Now, I have a little bit of a problem with the defeatist attitude towards the possibility of an atheist president. There are, of course, quite a few who argue that we currently have one. But an openly atheist president within my lifetime doesn't seem like an impossibility to me. Maybe I'll run in however many years til I'm 35.
Then they got into a discussion of when anger was appropriate, and the consensus was it was good when other people also got angry, like when children died of neglect because their family refused medical care because of their religious beliefs. Atheists should try to get in the news for doing community service and nice things, to help dispel the myth that Atheists are immoral or unfeeling. Fredwords echoed things I've heard PZ say, which is that you need the firebrands to get attention and the nice people to negotiate change.
And then this is where Sally Quinn really went off the rails for me (and Jennifer Michael Hecht), when she started talking about what the stereotypical view of an atheist is. Apparently Quinn thinks that the image people have in mind when they hear "atheist" is Madalyn Murray O'Hair who was fat, ugly, crazy and had a mustache and that what atheism really lacks is an ATTRACTIVE public representative. Now, I don't think that our current representatives like Dawkins, Faircloth, Harris, and Hitch are unattractive, I'd be more likely to put them in the generally attractive categories, so I'm just not sure if she means there are no attractive female public personalities or that no one has overcome the O'Hair legacy.
The first doesn't resonate with me because I've seen plenty of attractive women at atheist events. The second doesn't resonate with me because neither I nor Omar knew what O'Hair looked like. So maybe this is an old-people-who-think-atheism-is-communism-because-they're-old-and-stupid problem, because no one I know, and we're people who are like into atheism so we know stuff about atheism, has any idea why anyone would care about O'Hair. Everything I knew about her before Quinn's comment is that she was killed before I was old enough to know anything and she was also an atheist.
Basically what I'm saying is that I don't think we're going to change the hearts and minds of Glenn Beck's 70 year old audience, we just have to let them die. Does anyone under the age of forty think that all atheist ladies have mustaches? If so, I would like to disabuse you of this notion. Many of us also have horns.
Then there was a lot more discussion about tone and tactics, which basically covered all the same ground over and over again, with various protests of various sorts from the panelist and audience members. The most interesting discussion was about whether to participate in interfaith groups, which were exclusive of atheists by name and nature.
The next panel was a team of legal experts, David Niose, Amanda Knief, and Mark Dunn. Their discussion really reflected the rest of the thrust of the meeting in that it was calling for more personal stories rather than more theoretical problems. To this end, they wanted to bring cases based on civil rights and equal protection, not on the Establishment Clause.
What it boils down to is this: when we make Tim Scott take down the 10 Commandments, we are absolutely right, but it makes us seem like assholes, but when we call someone out for violating civil liberties, like firing someone for being an atheist or refusing to allow them to form school groups or parents are denied custody because they aren't religious, we seem like people who are just fighting to be treated equally. And we get to tell personal stories of how the religious bias has hurt us, and people respond more to that.
And then we got a two-hour break, which I filled with caffeine, and then it was time for the reception/dinner that evening.
Paul Provenza opened with a comedic talk which was very similar to his talk at TAM. He did have a good line, "Today we lobbied, or as I like to call it, fucked shit up." After dinner, JMH introduced Sean Faircloth, and she reiterated the broad theme (poetic atheism) of needing to tell human stories, we may be rational, but people need emotional connection.
And then Sean Faircloth spoke, and it was very State of the Union. Lots of clapping, lots of broad, hear-hear sort of statements. Spontaneous standing O at the end. He thinks that Secular Americans are the next moral majority, a sleeping giant waiting to be motivated. Then he gave a list of ten goals:
- Our military will serve all Americans, with no fundamentalism or religious bias or conversion
- Any federal/state funded program will be based on science, not belief
- Healthcare providers have a responsibility to their medical duties over their religious beliefs
- The legislature will represent the non religious
- There will be one consistent health standard for children, no religious exception
- Medical and scientific progress shall not be impeded by religious bias ever
- Discrimination based on religion will not happen
- Marriage can be defined by an individual religion however it wants, but the government cannot use religion for its definition
- Government zoning laws will respect all faiths and non-faiths equally
- Youth won't be subjected to religious bias in schools.
Then, we were kicked out of the room because it was 9 and that was as late as they'd booked it. I proceeded to join JMH and her husband and a few others at the bar, where she ordered a margarita, but couldn't remember the word for salt. This was immensely amusing. Then there was a party in a room, and we went there. There were all sorts of illicit activities going on (clothes all remained on) and I shan't be more specific, but it was really fun.
JMH then did a poetry reading for the party, which was quite entertaining. Because her poems are good, people were drinking, and it was so weird that someone would read poetry at a party in the first place. I felt like a Beatnik, but cleaner.
And then, 2000 words later, I went to bed.

"Love and Hip Hop Hollywood" star Lyrica Anderson is having an explosive fifth season.
She's currently feuding with K. Michelle.
And now her own husband A1 is questioning her loyalty.
But rumor has it that the couple may have made up and they have a baby on the way.
Click next for the details.

I knew this storyline was fake. I watched that FB Live video and I did not see Safaree and Lyrica flirting.
Funny because she's been looking pregnant to be on IG Live.
Agreed. I thought I was the only one who noticed. Anyway I'm happy for them. And hopefully this whole Safaree storyline was fake.
Of course. These shows are so fake.
I do'nt know if it is fake but having KMichele on any show is trouble. These chicks leave a show vowing to never return, then here they are again, Erica as well. NO ONE likes either one of them. Lyrica is a sweetheart but she needs to learn how to dress.

By Corey Moss
As I often will do, I start the morning researching. Sometimes it will be something that has been sent via e-mail, a whitepaper or maybe an article on LinkedIn that spurs on a story, or even a podcast theme. At times I'll go to The Street (Jim Cramer's online publication for investors) where I'll find a good breaking tech story. It's also an excellent source for staying abreast of everything cryptocurrency.
Recently, I scanned the publication for a good story and stopped at a Cramer quote (in the sidebar) 'It's about the companies that employ tech to trounce the competition.' The link went to the Real Money section, and a Jim Cramer article Jim Cramer: Here's What it Takes to Get a Stock Moving. He begins:
What moves a stock these days? What's a surefire way to get it going? I'll tell you what does it. Tell the world that you are investing in technology to make things more efficient, to make them better.
Technology's the key behind today's rally and look no further than Home Depot (HD) , a big Dow Jones stock, which helped propel that venerable average with an announcement that it is looking to hire 1,000 technology professionals as part of its 11-billion- dollar strategic investment plan.
Now that in itself is a story with a huge bang as Home Depot, the well-known retail hardware giant is going all in – on tech.
Cramer goes on to detail how Home Depot continues to move past the competition, Lowe's especially, with what's detailed as a home grown technology effort (run by its chief investment officer Matt Carey) that joins engineers with product managers and those on the floor who know the customer experience.
There it is – customer experience to go with integrated technologies and the addition of tech professionals.
According to the article, Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce.com states: "Matt Carey is a legend in Information Technology. He has personally transformed Home Depot in many of the most significant digital transformation and customer innovations in the retail industry. "
You just can't deny how innovation and technology integration begets transformation, and the experience just follows along. Technology integrated strategically, with professionals in the right places.
Now that's not to say that any business can go out and hire a ton of tech professionals, however on scale it makes a lot of sense to hire the most qualified tech professionals to drive such transformation within the company, even if just adding two or three people.
I for one preach digital transformation, specified as technology innovation, integration – and transformation, even though I was once challenged in terms of digital transformation being buzz. It's very easy these days to claim any trend or application discussion to be buzz – I mentioned it in a recent social media exchange in terms of a claim that two company UC applications merged together became the "new convergence." However where technology is concerned, transformation – like societal change – is always imminent.
This brings me back to Home Depot and how they are taking on the market, beating the competition as outlined here, and I'll even repeat Cramer's quote:
Tell the world that you are investing in technology to make things more efficient, to make them better.
So now you can add efficiency to the transformation and innovation discussion – pretty powerful statement as efficiency is something every company strives for (or of course should). Look at what we discuss in terms of enhanced communication, collaboration and workflow – certainly keys to a company's overall success. I have used various technology applications and platforms, which have continued to enhance my strategies.
I worked in audiovisual integration where providing the end user with the best possible outcome in terms of technology for the now, and future upgrade was imperative. Add to this, nowadays, the discussion of big data analytics and one has provided the true keys to uncovering certain patterns and correlations which were not yet evident, trends in that particular market, customer preferences along with other potential information that can help to make more-informed business decisions.
In the AV market the data discussion has grown louder and stronger over the last few years, where now I'd have to figure that it should also be a part of most integration companies' language to give the customer, as well as themselves a leg up. Sure Home Depot is a giant conglomerate, but what's to say that any company – Fortune 100 or SMB – can't take on the competition and soundly beat them, through technology transformation and continuous upgrade, enhanced communication and collaboration, and adding the right technology people in the right places. Talk hardware, talk software, cloud, mobility and more (and I do all the time). It makes all the sense in the world in 2018 — and beyond.
I'll end with another great statement from the article by Cramer:
Why does Home Depot spend so much on tech? Why does he (Matt Carey) have Battles of the Brains to recruit the best coders in the business, and I am talking about not just the retail business? Why do they recruit hundreds of tech people right out of school, or train their tech inclined employees in a 12-week boot camp? Go listen to their latest "Give Me an H" podcast and you will know. Because if you think running a retail operation is about having a brick and mortar presence a cashier and a salesperson, you will be eaten alive by the Death Star otherwise known as Amazon.
Enough said. Invest, integrate – and transform.

Children love to explore the world, regardless if they are physically/intellectually disabled or not. The house is not enough for a child to improve his/her skills and to know more about the world. That is why some doctors and healthcare experts recommend outdoor activities for children. But in the case of children with developmental disabilities, how can they be able to enjoy life outdoors?
Regular Exercise
You don't have to do yoga or aerobics outside the house for physical activity. You can walk with your child outdoors at a specific time of the day. You can either expose him/her to the early sunlight in the morning or walk with him/her until he/she feels hungry during sunset. Walking outdoors lets your child see the world in a colorful perspective, and meet new people such as your neighbors.
Camping And Other Activities
For a change, and if your trusted healthcare expert agrees, you can take your child to a farther place from home temporarily. You can let him/her see the beach or the mountains, go museum-hopping, camp out for a night in the woods, or enjoy a simple road trip. Rest whenever needed and bring necessary supplies for your child such as food, towels, extra clothes, bottled water, and etc.
Playing With Others
One problem developmentally disabled children face is that they fear of playing with others because of discrimination. Self-confidence must be on a solid ground first before your child interacts with other children. For a fresh start, you can arrange a playdate with another child such as your friend's child or your neighbor's child. Start with one playmate, two playmates, until your child's number of playmates increase. Gentle adults can even be good playmates for your child. Building friendships at an early age will help develop your child's potentials, even if he/she is developmentally disabled.
Bright Horizon Homes is committed to serve you with our developmental disability care services in Kanabec Dr. Wasilla Alaska. We have withstood the test of time by serving various clients, especially those with cerebral palsy and autism. We believe that we can hone or improve their talents and abilities so that they can stay happy and healthy all throughout their lives. To know more about our services, you can give us a call at 907-357-2233!

There are certain things guaranteed to happen if you have a baby. You'll need to take time off work to look after it. You probably won't get much sleep. And you'll undoubtedly take photos of your sweet little cherub and upload them to Facebook.
All. The. Time.
Earlier this year, Enedina Vance from Ohio uploaded a photo of her 6-month-old daughter to her Facebook page. The baby is smiling widely, wearing a pink headband, and in one of her pudgy cheeks... a diamond stud. Not something you see in your regular new-and-proud parent posts.
"So I got the baby girl's dimple pierced!!" began the caption accompanying the photo. "It looks so cute, right?!! I just know she's gonna love it!! She'll thank me when she's older lol if she decides she doesn't like it, she can just take it out, no big deal".
"I'm the parent, she is MY CHILD, I will do whatever I want!! I make all of her decisions until she's 18, I made her, I own her!! I don't need anyone's permission, I think it's better, cuter, & I prefer her to have her dimple pierced. Its NOT abuse!! If it was, it would be illegal, but it's not. People pierce their babies everyday, this is no different.
"MY BABY, MY CHOICE!! PARENT'S CHOICE, PARENT'S RIGHTS!! Don't judge my parenting, we all raise our kids differently, it's none of your business anyway!!"
It sparked a lot of outrage, with many people shocked that a mother was bragging about a facial piercing she imposed on her very young daughter. Vance revealed that she started receiving death threats and messages from people saying they would take her children away.
But it seems these people didn't read the entire caption. At the bottom of the post was a group of hashtags that indicate the whole thing was not meant in earnest: #BodilyIntegrity, #MyBodyMyChoice, #HumanRights, #ChildrensRights, #Intactivism, #IntactGeneration and then tellingly, #sarcasm.
And sure enough, it was later revealed at the baby's piercing was in fact photoshopped. Vance is a mother of six who strongly advocates against piercing or circumcising children. She believes that parents should not modify their children's bodies before they're old enough to give consent.
"I seriously can not believe how many people missed that this was purely satirical, I actually used the hashtag #sarcasm," Vance wrote on Facebook. "Yet people were still threatening to beat me to death, call child protective services, & take away my children."
She photoshopped the cheek piercing onto the baby with the intention of starting a conversation about it, and judging by reactions to the controversial image – she did just that. The post which was first shared in late June went viral, racking up over 14,000 shares and more than 160 comments.
Many people applauded Vance for what her post initiated:
Others joined in on the sarcastic speech:
Some didn't quite get the post:
Others – presumably the target group for Vance – chirped the same rhetoric that Vance used sarcastically in her post:
And some people pointed out how easily triggered some people can be that they miss the point:
"Not only has this sparked a debate, but it has created a dialogue that demands we reevaluate our role as parents. We as a society have a responsibility to protect our most vulnerable gifts, our children," she wrote in a later post on Facebook, addressing the attention the photo got. She raises a few of her key beliefs about children's rights in relation to circumcision, the medical community, and governmental, and concludes with this:
"We must open our eyes & our hearts to acknowledge the fact that our children are human beings with rights that deserve to be respected & protected. No one has the right to alter, modify, or mutilate another human being's body for aesthetic purposes."
However strong her beliefs are and in whatever way they resonate with the community at large, it must be given to Vance that she was able to create such monumental discussion about a topic that is otherwise seldom spoken about.

ONE OF THE TOP American nautical and interior photographers is Florida-based Shaw McCutcheon. While his specialty remains yacht photography, McCutcheon has used the skills honed in this niche to achieve success in the demanding world of high-end residential and commercial real estate photography. The tricks to lighting a confined space of a yacht interior are easily translatable – even easier – to the large environment of a home or business. The special hours of dusk and dawn, when architecture and interiors are the most pleasant to photograph, are a McCutcheon specialty. And he has become one of the best interior photographers in the region.
His nautical work, however, is his main achievement. McCutcheon's work has appeared on the covers of virtually every major yachting magazine in the world, and his client list reads like a who's who of the marine industry, with names such as Trinity, Christensen, Broward, Palmer Johnson, Wellcraft, Hatteras, Feadship, Bertram, Ocean and Viking, to name a few, in his portfolio.
Showboats magazine, for whom McCutcheon has produced dozens of photo shoots, often would send the marine photographer on the most sensitive assignments on the most exclusive yachts because of his diplomatic and professional skills. What most impresses art directors, however, is his attention to composition and lighting, making an average scene vibrate with color and sensitivity.
McCutcheon came to nautical photography via a circuitous route requiring a variety of skills that combine to make him virtually unique in his specialty. For nearly a quarter century he was a newspaper and magazine journalist, with a Master's degree from Northwestern University, the top journalism school in the nation. His work has appeared in numerous national magazines, including Newsweek, Islands, Yankee, Powder, Skiing, People, Conde Nast Traveler, and, of course, every major yachting magazine in the world. Twice he has won national writing awards in the nautical field, the latest a First Place for a
story on Hurricane Katrina that appeared in Yachting magazine. McCutcheon is extremely well connected with the nautical media, who often hire him to both write and shoot the photography on a particular subject.
Rangefinder magazine, a national magazine for professional photographers, said in a recent profile that McCutcheon "is a travel writer and photographer who morphed into a marine specialist. He photographs the biggest, most expensive yachts in the world and is also extremely skilled at capturing their interiors with lighting set-ups that illuminate every shadow."
The nautical specialty requires skills on a variety of levels, such as helicopter-mounted aerial photography. McCutcheon has become a top aerial photographer capable of shooting moving targets from straight overhead to the waterline, in the dim light of dawn to the orange fire of the late afternoon sun. Hatteras Yachts has said one of McCutcheon's blurred-water photos was directly responsible for selling one of its most popular models. Models work well with his relaxed style, making for effective lifestyle photography.
While film was McCutcheon's preferred format for years, like many other pros he has converted to digital. The switch has enabled him to almost double his daily production of interior photos, and his expertise in computer enhancements have saved hours of post-production work for art directors.
Please take this opportunity to view McCutcheon's extensive portfolio of yacht and residential interiors, aerial and magazine-style editorial photography.

Grilled Biscuits
So I decided to search the web because surely somewhere, somehow, and someone has "baked" on a grill. And sure enough, I found exactly what I was looking for HERE.
9 comments:
Those look soooo good. I can't make a biscuit from scratch to save my life. I can make hockey pucks but not biscuits. I have tried at least 10 different recipes. They don't taste so bad but they NEVER rise to be fluffy melt in your mouth biscuits.ReplyDeleteReplies
Girl you can make these!! I prefer from scratch but I always keep biscuit mix on hand.Delete
OK, 2nd Man makes a pretty awesome biscuit but I think this looks pretty awesome as well. Nothing wrong with the mix. And I see the original recipe is with AP flour, etc, so this would be an awesome way to do something fun and different. Thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
I am actually looking forward to trying my scratch biscuits on the grill. I don't have many opportunities to use my iron skillets, since I have a really, really nice set of "everyday" (Zwilling) cookwareDelete
Side note, your biscuits look prettier than the ones on the linked page, I'm just sayin' ;-)Delete
And I thought so too but I thought I would be obnoxious if I said that, haha!Delete
Oh, this looks good. I've got a serious case of the breakfast hungries right now and hours to go until hubby wakes up. Dare I fire up the grill without him???????? LOL!ReplyDeleteReplies
There was a collective gasp of men everywhere at that thought, lolDelete
Please leave me a comment! I love feedback on what you like-(what you do not) and any stories or anecdotes you would like to share! Please know that while I may not be able to reply right away, that I do read every single comment and will respond as soon as I can!
Now chime in!
