With my Virgin Account I was awarded 50 free photos to be printed. I settled for 31; and was really disappointed when they arrived as some of the photos I ordered were duplicated and quite a few had part of the heads missing. I was thinking of paying to have a photo book done, but after receiving these I would not use your Company again as it does not live up to the advertising… Read Full Review

I don't recommend this company to other. I placed an order last 5th Sept. Now the date is 22nd Sept.I'm still waiting. I called today and when I spoke to somebody he said if I haven't received it means it was lost in the post. So he re-order another prints and he promised it will arrived in 1 week time.

I placed an order on the 4th of Sep and according to the web site estimated delivery time for photo prints is 4-5 working days. As at the 21st of Sep I'm still waiting!! I've E-mailed to them few times but each time I only received the automated E-mails and not even an explaination of the cause of delay, let alone an apology!!

I just recieved picture from snapfish. I would never ever recommend them to anyone. The pictures are horrible. Too dark (very, very dark). I've got a light skin, but on them I look like from Asia. I'm very disapointed :(. I have written to customer service to tell them that I want to return them and I want a refund. We will see. Those pictures are good to put them into the bin!!! I've ordered the same pictures from photobox. They arrived after 2 days and were very good quality. So next time I… Read Full Review

I'm a professional photographer, and a client has recently sent me the Snapfish prints she had ordered from the CD of her photo session, querying the quality. I am appalled at the pixellation, poor cropping, bleeding of colours and general poor management of this printing service. I have used the same files to order professional prints from the industry-standard printers that I use myself, and there is absolutely no comparison, from her Snapfish copies where you can barely make out the… Read Full Review

I first used snapfish a couple of months ago. The photos were ok quality and some were dreadful with black splodges and very weird contrast. The original photo file was fine and it was the printing which was the problem. I began to contact customer services, but they have automated replies and it was too much hassle.
I thought I'd give them a second chance and ordered some more photos. I haven't received them yet, but I placed the order 8 days ago and they still haven't been shipped. I'm not…

Although the photos received were of very good quality, they arrived much later than I would have expected. Received an e-mail on the day of purchase telling me my order "will be shipped within the next business day".

I've used SnapFish quite a few times now. With each time I've never experienced a problem. The site is pretty straight forward and easy to navigate, and the photo uploader is reasonably quick.
I've only ever ordered photo prints and delivery was ok. My last batch I had delivered to my work address, and they turned up fine, although about 3 days after they stated my photos had been dispatched.
My only slight criticism was that the photos tend to come out slightly darker than expected. You can…

Extremely poor customer service - no phone number to ring. You can wait for response for your emails for a few days and than they even won't answer all your questions.
I sent about 30 emails, I was chasing my money back for 2 months and they didn't refund full amount I paid but I was too tired to chase for it and just gave up.

Quality of printing is appalling, cropped images and horrifyingly dark.
Customer service team far less than helpful. Finally got annoyed enough to want to delete my details from their site altogether. Was told that they only delete accounts in batches, and therefore it could take a couple of days! No efforts were made to address my concerns or to retain my custom. Shows that they really don't care about their service/product at all.
Never again…

During various stages of the cell culturing process, centrifugation is frequently used to isolate extracellular products or to separate cells from their aqueous environment. Traditionally, cells and media are first transferred from a cell culture flask to a 15-mL or 50-mL conical tube before centrifugation. These transfer steps require operator labor and time, the cost of the transfer vessel, and introduce the potential for contamination during transfer.

EDITORIAL: Cheers, Jeers and Tears
Jeers for the continuing outbreak of the flu which has claimed 27 lives in Indiana.
Perhaps it was last year's mild flu season that distracted from worrying so much about staying warm and well in this winter of 2013. But it has our attention now, sending children and parents and co-workers and anyone else, even some who had their flu shots, seeking the comfort of the couch or the bed, there to fight the the fever and the chills, the cough and sore throat, headaches and sneezes, and more.
And if you haven't had a flu shot, and may not be too late to still get one. The Courier & Press reported that you can try www.flu.gov to possibly locate a vaccine.
Meanwhile, cheers to those who catch the flu who stay put, at home, while they recuperate.
Tears fall for David A. Gugin, 79, who came to the University of Evansville in 1971 as the director of the John L. Iglehart Center for the Study of Urban Affairs. He held numerous positions at the University of Evansville. He was something of an icon on campus, and was known for talking with students from a bench outside Hyde Hall, known as Gugin's Bench. He taught three semesters at Harlaxton College, the UE campus in Grantham, England., as well as teaching assignments in Japan and Switzerland. He did research in Uganda and studied in India.
Cheers for all who observe the celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday. Among the events will be a re-enactment of the 1963 Civil Rights March on Washington. The Walk For Justice will leave from the Bernhardt Atrium Schroeder Family School of Business Administration Building at the University of Evansville. Also, the Honorable Timothy C. Evans, chief judge of the Cook County, Ill., Circuit Court will be the keynote speaker for the William G. and Rose M. Mays Martin Luther King Jr. Lectureship at the University of Evansville.
Cheers for Berry Plastics, the Evansville-based manufacturer, which announced this past week plans to invest $33 million and add as many as 115 production and salaried positions. Most of the $33 million will be spent on new equipment the company will use to produce a new type of plastic food packaging.
Cheers for the Rev. Bernard Etienne of Holy Rosary Church in Evansville has received a national award for his contribution to Catholic education. He received the National Catholic Education Association's Distinguished Pastor Award. Another Evansville priest, the Rev. Gregory Chamberlin, received the same award in 2011.
Cheers for the Evansville Police Department's new "Coffee with a Cop" community relations program, which found Police Chief Billy Bolin and other police officials meeting people at the Lincoln Avenue Donut Bank Bakery & Coffee Shop. The police plan to make it a monthly event, rotating to other Donut Bank sites.
Tears fall for a Boonville, Ind. native, Ronald Eugene "Gene" Samples, who became a force in the coal industry. He served as chairman and chief executive officer of both Consolidation Coal Company and Arch Minerals Corporation. Samples, of St. Augustine, Fla., died Jan. 11 at the age of 86.

This is a tribute to one of the most beautiful and sexy girls in the Videogame world, Morrigan of the Darkstalkers series and it is the Inked Version of the drawing I've previously posted. This was a good training, mostly because it was long time I wasn't posting drawings. I like the face, how I've drawn it, mostly the noise. For the realization of the drawing I've used many pencils, a 5H pencil for the initial rough, a 3H for some shading and various linees, and an Hb2 pencil for definite the lines and the general drawing. For the inking Ive used a simple 0,5 China pen and a great permanent inker of big size, I've found funny to ink this drawing, even if the China Pen was half-discharged . I hope you like her!

ABC News' Natasha Singh reports:
Whether it's to accommodate different religions, different geographical locations or just different style ceremonies, an increasing number of couples are opting to say more than one set of "I Do's."
One of the hottest trends when it comes to weddings, first reported in the Wall Street Journal, is for nearly-weds to plan for multiple wedding ceremonies.
Monisha Akhoury, 34, of New York City, needed four wedding dresses for three different wedding ceremonies at three different venues, two in California and one in New Jersey.
With a dress budget of $15,000, she said 'Yes' to three of the four dresses on TLC's show, "Say Yes to the Dress."
"The idea of couples having more than one wedding is out there," Anja Winikka, site director for TheKnot.com, told ABC News. "There are often families with very different ideas with what a wedding should look like, and so that's what it comes to. A couple has to decide, 'Am I going to do it my way?' or 'Am I going to do another wedding and please the rest of my family?'"
Chris Fava popped the question to Akhoury last March, but they quickly learned weddings are not just about what the bride and groom want.
"It was about families," Akhoury explained. "I never thought it was going to be three ceremonies, but because of all the different wants of people, it ended up just naturally occurring like that."
Fava, 32, admits he was a bit overwhelmed, but says, "I just went with it."
With different cultural and religious backgrounds, their East-meets-West tri-wedding including a traditional Hindu ceremony, a church wedding and a personalized intimate wedding in a vineyard.
But for a lot of brides and grooms, doubling or tripling the planning can mean double or triple the headache.
"You have to have the party planner in you, and you have to have the ability to handle stress," Akhoury said. "There's a lot of pressure. I think you really do have to have the personality for it. I wouldn't recommend it for everybody."
This is something to consider for those thinking about making multiple trips down the aisle.
"If you want to have more than one wedding, no matter how you splice and dice it, you're going to end up spending more money," said Winikka. "You're going to want to budget for that."
As for Akhoury and Fava, they managed to tie the knot three times, all while staying within their one budget.
"It is an extravagant thing to do, but it was done for the best intentions," Akhoury said. "It was done to make everybody in our family happy, and we accomplished that."

The handbook says, ""provide a lighting system that operates in two modes: general, and A/V."" What is the definition of \'A/V\' mode? For example, the first classroom has two modes, 2 swtiches. However, the fixtures are perpendicular to the smartboard. The inboard row of lights can be switched off, and the outboard can be left on, and visa versa. Is that considered \'A/V Mode\'? The second has 4 modes. In this control strategy, the lighting located in front of the smartboard can be evenly reduced. In this scenario, 4 switches would be installed. Are both classrooms compliant with the criteria?" "The project team is seeking clarification on the rating system requirement for classrooms to, ""provide a lighting system that operates in at least 2 modes: general illumination and A/V."" The intent of the 2 mode requirement is to provide classroom teachers with a conveniently placed switch to reduce the amount of light shining on a monitor or projection screen (often located at the front of a classroom) while providing sufficient ambient levels for students to take notes to provide a higher-quality viewing experience in the classroom. Any strategy that achieves this intent is acceptable for credit achievement. In general, the proposed switching scenarios meet the intent of IEQc6.1 by providing an A/V mode with the potential for reduced illumination on a smartboard when it is used as a projection screen. Applicable Internationally." "None" "None" "X" "LEED Interpretation" "2131" "2008-04-28" "Schools - New Construction" "In areas where the law requires an average illumination of 50 footcandles or more (such as the State of Virginia), it is not feasible for project teams to design and implement a lighting scheme that will achieve an average of exactly 50 footcandles in order to satisfy both the law and the LEED standard (which requires an average of 35-50 footcandles). Is it possible to allow a greater tolerance for project teams working under these conditions?" "Although LEED requires achieving a general illuminance level between 35-50 footcandles, designers may provide higher average illuminance levels when all lamps are turned on at full power, if required by the local regulations. The LEED requirement can be met as long as the users have the ability to control the illuminance to achieve two levels, (1) between 35-50 footcandles, and (2) between 10-20 footcandles, through multi-level switching or dimming controls. If dimming controls are used, the two illuminance settings required should be easily available to the users through presets for intermediate levels or low and high-end settings. Applicable Internationally. " "None" "None" "X" "LEED Interpretation" "2219" "2008-08-13" "New Construction, Existing Buildings, Commercial Interiors, Schools - New Construction" "For a new 312,000 sf building seeking both LEED CS and LEED CI certifications we plan to comply with the requirements of LEED CI EQ Cr 6.1 to provide lighting controls for both individual and group occupants. We believe however that providing task lights for approximately 1800 employees in workstations when they may not be needed contradicts our sustainability goals. These fixtures, if not needed, only add to the project\'s overall embodied energy and environmental impact. The design team has been very aggressive in providing a task oriented lighting scheme that is efficient and beautiful. The design places direct/indirect fixtures with a large percentage of down light directly over the primary work surfaces to provide optimal foot-candles where they are needed. Of the 1870 employees in the building, 97% of them will be in workstations with partitions at 42"". Because of the low partitions, the only option for providing lighting control is a movable task light. The owner has chosen an LED task light. In order to meet the projects overall sustainability goals while meeting the intent of the credit we propose surveying occupants prior to occupancy as to whether they will want a task light. Those who responded in the affirmative will have a task light upon occupancy. The owner will conduct a post occupancy survey to see if additional employees require a task light or don\'t need the one they have. At any point an employee will be able to request a task light. If 100% of employees request a task light the owner will provide them. Providing the task light as an option gives users the ability to control lighting levels while meeting the owner and LEED\'s overall sustainability goals. Please verify that surveying employees pre-and post-occupancy about task lighting preferences and then providing task lights only to employees in open office areas who desire them meets the requirements of LEED CI EQ Cr 6.1." "The inquiry is stating the following approach as an alternative compliance path to meet the requirements of EQc6.1: 1) Survey all future occupants in advance of occupancy to identify those who desire a task light then provide a light upon move-in, 2) Survey all occupants post-occupancy to identify any persons who desire a task light then provide a light, and 3) Commit to making task lights available to all employees who request them at anytime. A survey based approach will meet the requirements only if 90% or more of the respondents request a task light and are provided with the equipment. The described situation makes a very strong case for decreasing environmental impact in not requiring the potentially unnecessary acquisition of products that may not be used by building occupants. The project team should explore credits in other categories of LEED for this strategy, as the elements outlined above may help in achievement of other points. Please note that task-ambient lighting systems that provide low levels of ambient light supplemented with additional task lights have the ability to reduce energy, reduce environmental impact by avoiding installation of excessive ambient light fixtures that provide task illuminance. The intent of EQc6.1 is that the occupants be given individual control to change their light levels to suit their needs. A survey based approach makes the user aware of their needs at the time of the survey only, it does not give them control over their lights unless they respond in the survey that they need a tasklight.\n **Update October 1, 2013: Applicable credits have been updated." "None" "None" "X" "LEED Interpretation" "2310" "2008-09-23" "New Construction, Existing Buildings, Commercial Interiors, Core and Shell" "Our project is a multifamily residential building and we would like to verify our approach in meeting the requirements of credit EQ C6.1. Based on the CIR ruling dated 1/29/2008, by providing on/off controls for fixed lighting installed in spaces for individual use (kitchens, bedrooms) and shared multi-occupant spaces, this credit can be achieved. However, it is not clear if providing switched wall receptacles is an acceptable control measure for spaces with no fixed (permanent) lighting installed and hence our query. Our approach to the credit is outlined below 1) For the residential unit bedrooms, kitchen and dining rooms, fixed lighting will be installed, serving the needs of those spaces. On/off controls for the light fixtures will be provided. 2) In addition, the bedrooms will also have switched wall receptacles for the convenience of the tenants individual lighting needs. 3) The living rooms will not have any fixed lighting installed. A switched wall receptacle, allowing the tenant to choose their own light fixture, gives the tenant controllability of the light with an on/off switch. We believe that the intent of the credit to provide \'controllability\' of light is met, even if the actual light fixture is not permanently installed. 4) The living room will also have a junction box for a future fan or ceiling light, at the discretion of the tenant with a separate wall switch to control the fan and light independently. 5) The clubhouse area which can be regarded as a shared multi-occupant space will have occupancy sensors for lighting and also on/off switches for manual over ride. Please confirm that the above approach is acceptable." "The applicant is requesting clarification regarding the use of switched receptacles in residential applications to satisfy the credit requirements. The proposed approach appears to satisfy the credit intent. The LEED-NC v2.2 Reference Guide states that task lights do not need to be permanently wired and ideally allow the occupant to reposition the lighting fixture. This guidance is also applicable to group multi-occupant residential spaces. The living room, which is not equipped with fixed lighting, has been provided two separate controls: switched receptacles for non-fixed lighting fixtures and a junction box and lighting controls for a possible future fixture. The installation of switched receptacles provides occupants with another level of lighting control. In addition, all of the other spaces have been provided with fixed lighting that satisfies the requirements outlined in the 1/29/2008 CIR. When applying for this credit, the project team should also provide documentation to confirm that a sufficient number of lighting fixtures to provide the required space lighting have been connected to the proposed controls for group multi-occupant spaces.\n\n **Update October 1, 2013: Applicable credits have been updated."

East walls of the first floor retail spaces have the same type of openings. The areas of these openings range from 90 sf to 400 sf when are they completely open. Where installed, these openings make up at least 75% of the entire wall area. We would like an equivalency for counting those areas toward the operable window requirement of IEQc6.1. We propose that the area of a standard window is 6 square feet. We request an allowance to account for 1 window for every 8 square feet of stacking glass. For example, a 90 sf stacking glass wall would equal 11.25 operable windows. Please confirm that this calculation method is acceptable." "The applicant is requesting an equivalency calculation between wall openings and operable windows. It is not clear from the description what types of openings are included in the ""stacking glass walls"". Typical retail spaces only have doors that may be held open when the climate is conducive to do so. If the only openings in the wall are primarily for entry and exit, the requested equivalency cannot be accepted.

We eat fresh lima beans and such as that from the garden, red beans and rice, occassionally chili, and that is about it. I have never used dried beans for any of that. I am sorry to sound so ignorant, but how do you use them? What are some good non-mushy bean recipes? Thanks :)

Are there Offline W7 Update Managers available? Any suggestions?
Hi we have a computer that holds membership details, contact details, bank account details of our clients.
We made the decision not to put the computer on the network because of the sensitivity of the data and there is nothing so certain as no connection at all !! Ive been asked to keep the machine up to date with windows updates. In the beginning this was easy because before the database was added to the machine the updates could be run automatically. Now im not sure how to do this other than manually which will take too long and the machine is out of date by about a year. Ideally I need a package that can do exactly what windows 7 update online can do but offline. Any ideas? Thanks R |

Fox Kansas KSAS-TV - Search Results
Haunted House for Sale...Would You Buy?
(From WZTV) - The Hiram B. Scutt Museum in Joliet, Illinois was built in 1882 and designed by architect James Weese for Scutt, who held a number of early patents for barbed wire. The three-storey, 4,960-square-foot red-brick mansion is on the National Register of Historic Places and has been listed at US$159,000 after the property was foreclosed on.
The home has something of a dark history, however, and some say it is haunted. In 2004, a 19-year-old man named Steven Jenkins was fatally shot during a party in the home. A few years later, a John Wilkes Booth impersonator named Seth Magosky bought the home and died suddenly there in 2007, only six months after he began work on turning the mansion into a Victorian museum, Patchs Joseph Hosey reports.
Real estate agent Marcia C. Cronin said an energy reader she had come to the home said it was not haunted, but paranormal investigators who have flocked to the mansion over the years would likely disagree. One paranormal group claims the spirits of children, as well as the homes two original owners, can be encountered there. Spiritual observer and psychic reader Edward Shanahan also wrote in 2010 on his Chicago Paranormal and Spiritual blog that the mansion, which also came to be known as Barb Villa, is very haunted and pointed to compelling videos from multiple paranormal groups as alleged proof.

Convert to StarID
Steps to a Successful StarID Conversion
How do you convert to StarID? It's easy (well...relatively easy) if you follow these steps.
If you run into snags, don't worry. ITS is here to help you out, contact HuskyTech at (320) 308-7000 or email@example.com.
STEP 1: ACTIVATE your StarID and SYNC your passwords
- What does this mean?
- Activate your StarID (starid.mnscu.edu).
- During the activation process, we recommend that you set your StarID password to match your SCSU HuskyNetID password (e.g., make it the same as the password for both accounts) in order to reduce confusion during the conversion.
- Helpful Tip: Make sure that you remember your new StarID Password.
STEP 2: CONFIGURE YOUR DEVICES AFTER YOUR CONVERSION (after March 7th, 2014)
- What does this mean?
For any systems that are entirely web/cloud-based (such as D2L), you shouldn't have any configuration issues. You will log into the services using your StarID as your username and StarID password as the password.
Applications on your devices (desktops, laptops, tablets, mobiles, etc.) that store a username or password (like an email client) will need to be reconfigured with your StarID Username and Password. - How do I do it? Refer to the StarID device configuration wizard for some of the standard set up instructions.
Note that not *all* systems or configurations are represented here. If your system is not represented, please contact the HuskyTech, (320) 308-7000, firstname.lastname@example.com.
STEP 3: Start Using your StarID for eServices (other services after March 7, 2014)
- What does this mean?
StarID is how you will sign onto most St. Cloud State University services and most MNSCU Services. - How do I do it? Use the username (now StarID) and password you created in STEP 1 above to access most of your campus systems.
If you have any problems, GET HELP!
- What does this mean?
Unable to get something working? That's understandable. A process this massive is going to have some bumps in the road. Don't panic! We're here to help. - How do I do it? ITS will have a robust suite of support services deployed on campus during the conversion and well into Spring 2014 semester to help you out. We want to be your campus partners in resolving issues with the conversion quickly and efficiently.
- Contact the HuskyTech, (320) 308-7000, firstname.lastname@example.com;
- Look for anyone on campus with a "StarID. Ask me!" t-shirt for assistance;
- Look for one of our "support" stations around campus for help getting yourself up and running.
Support Wizard
Our StarID device configuration wizard will walk you through a series of questions to get you to the training and support documentation for your personal configuration.

apple picking & authenticity + apple pancakes
If my rural southern forbears found out that each year I seek out the chance to pick apples, they'd probably be disappointed that I didn't own the orchard but glad that it was something easy like apples instead of something gross like tobacco. But when they found out that I actually pay for the privilege of doing farm work, they'd all keel over dead on the spot (hopefully after producing whichever offspring ultimately led to my existence). Why on Earth, they would wonder, would I pay to harvest fruit? And even worse, why would I drag my children into it?
Pick-your-own farms for urban tourists are nothing new, but in recent years they've exploded in both numbers and popularity, coinciding with the mainstreaming of gourmet food culture in evidence everywhere from Top Chef to the organic section of your grocery store to the high-end ranges and fridges in real estate listings. And while a gourmand in the 80s would seek out bold new presentations with the dipping areas arranged just so or unexpected fusions between cuisines, today an aesthetic that favors realness and nostalgia above all has won the day. We want our pies to look like grandma's and go to the taco truck that is más auténtica.
Which, as far as I'm concerned, is great. I'd way rather know your Nana's goulash recipe than know how to emulsify a chicken so that barbecue sauce is the food and the chicken is the sauce and your mind is blown. But it's good for me to get off my high horse every now and again and take a look at what I'm doing. Because as much fun as it is to pick apples, it is at it's heart a simulacrum just like the phony facade of the "fish shack" at the mall or the spray-on crust of a loaf of white bread.
It's undeniable that a lot of the striving toward authenticity that characterizes current food culture is doomed to fail, and apple picking points to the reasons for that. The rural idyll apple picking represents is the fantasy of people who don't have to worry about hailstorms or commodity prices. At the end of my day at the farm, I am no longer a farmer. I paid for an experience, had it, and it's over. Similarly, our grandparents put up food for the winter because they had to. If I really want a tomato in January, I can buy one. Though I am free to rediscover canning, I can drop in and out of seasonal eating as I please.
But if apple picking is inauthentic at its core (sorry), so what? Nobody needs to pick their own apples and you don't save time or money by doing it, but it does offer a reason to spend a day out of the city. It's also pretty good for the farmers' bottom lines (hello bounce house). And for children and adults alike, there's a value in experiencing where your food comes from and how, even if it's a somewhat contrived experience. We can never achieve perfect authenticity, but there's a lot to be gained from the pursuit.
With that in mind, some weekend his fall we'll load up the car and head to a country orchard to pick our own sweet, just-ripe apples once again. In case you do the same and find yourself with a trove of apples, or even if you straight-up bought them, here's a recipe for simple, tender, and light apple pancakes. Nothing fancy, just a nice way to showcase the bright sweetness of peak-season apples. I think your Grandma would approve.
Apple Yogurt Pancakes (adapted from this blueberry pancake recipe)
serves 4
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup full fat yogurt
1 1/2 cups milk
2 tablespoons lemon zest
1 cup apple slices, cut to 1/18 inch thick (look for a small, sweet variety like Pippins or good Galas)
coconut oil, butter, or neutral oil for frying
maple syrup, butter, and apples slices for serving
Set a large, rimmed baking sheet in your oven and turn heat to 200 degrees F.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, sea salt, and nutmeg. In a smaller bowl, combine the eggs, yogurt, milk, and zest. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry, drizzle with the melted butter, and stir just until well-combined. Fold in the apples.
Drop a tablespoon of oil into the preheated skillet. Add 2 – 3 tablespoons of batter per pancake, and cook for 2 – 3 minutes per side. Place cooked pancakes on the preheated cookie sheet in the oven.
Serve with sliced apples, soft butter, and maple syrup.

I never thought deeply about apple picking until I lived in the city and had to hike out to the suburbs to do it–I grew up picking apples at the orchard 5 minutes from my house. Even if it is "trendy," I still think it's important to know where your food comes from and there's something thrilling about standing in the middle of an apple tree, after climbing past branches on the quest for the perfect, unblemished apple. Pick on, my dear!
in the uk, I learned the word "scrumping". It basically describes the unsanctioned pilfering of apples from abandoned orchards…especially good for cider making!
Man, I know farming is hard work and I know it's harder work than I do in my nice work-from-home computer life. I have so much respect for farmers. That's why I kind of look at going to farmers' markets and going to farms to pick apples or blueberries or pumpkins is a way of showing that respect, going straight to the source and being thankful for the people who make our food supply possible.
Oohhh.. so fun! I hope we get to go for apple picking, up north. There's none here in Florida. These apple pancakes are divine
And this is why I love your blog – more than recipes (that are lovely), you also write engaging stories and delve into topics like this one.
Is that barbecue chicken a thing?? Ick.
The recipe sounds delightful – love the nutmeg. -
Thanks for sharing this thoughtful post. Nice to see someone acknowledging the essentially false nature of our search for 'authenticity', but still seeing it's value anyway. It might not be exactly real, but neither are my false eye lashes and I still love those.
THese look so yummy
One word, YUM!
I've been wanting to go apple picking for the longest time! These photos are so cute and the pancakes look SO delicious! I have buckets of apples at home at the moment so I cant wait to try your recipe out this weekend! Thanks!
I'm in love with your pancakes. I love the slightly burned crisp edges. Those are seriously always my fave part!!!
Sure it's easy to just head to the grocery store, but apple picking is a fun experience- especially for kids! They enjoy being able to eat a piece of fruit that they just picked. Many apple picking farms offer many more attractions as well, so it's really a full day of fun!
You've totally inspired me to go apple picking! And these pancakes – yes! It's the breakfast of champions!
I love this post and I completely relate with you. We love visiting the orchards and going apple-picking for the same reasons you do. Despite the "tourism" we enjoy getting out of the city and spending the day outdoors…. and because we love food, an outdoor event that revolves around food makes us happy thanks for this post, it's cute
i want these RIGHT NOW.

Before the dust could settle on the 2012 season, the Eagles reportedly told head coach Andy Reid what everyone already knew.
According to NFL.com Eagles owner Jeff Lurie told coach Andy Reid on Friday that today would be Reid's last game on the Eagles' sidelines.
The formal announcement is expected some time Monday.
Reid is currently the NFL's longest tenured coach, having been with Philadelphia for fourteen seasons.
Since Reid took over, the Eagles have been to the playoffs nine times, played in five NFC title games and lost to the Patriots in super bowl 39.

text: So my husband and I are flying to see my parents in a few weeks. I am pretty sure that I will just barely fit in the seatbelt, but my poor husband will need an extension, I am sure (he's overweight too). That bothers me because I know he will be embarrassed but another thing bothers me: we are sitting in seats next to each other and I'm afraid that they will ask one of us to move to the other side of the plane to "balance out the weight." I know this seems silly but it would be horrifying if it happened. Is this an irrational fear, or has anyone ever heard of this kind of thing?

Between graduating from beauty school and earning certifications in Lanza, Schwarzkopf, and the Coppola Keratin-Smoothing system, stylist Adrianne Lowes somehow managed to get two businesses off the ground. Her superhuman work ethic eventually led her to start a third business, The Ritz Salon and Spa, which has grown from her passion project into Burleson's go-to spot for professional styling and relaxation.
For evidence of Adrianne's dedication to the interrelated arts of beauty and health, one need not look further than The Ritz's lengthy list of services, which range from the salon's hair and waxing treatments to the spa's facials and massages. The spa even boasts a therapy center, where resident chiropractor Dr. Don Haygood heals aching muscles with chiropractic, med-spa, and acupuncture treatments. Along with its beauty and health services, The Ritz houses a chic fashion boutique, where visitors can search for a cute outfit to complement their newly cropped hair or freshly scrubbed face tattoos.
First Impressions Salon.Spa's team of aestheticians cares for all skin and hair types with services backed by name-brand products, including eco-friendly line Pevonia. During facials, the brand's cruelty-free creams and masks infuse faces with natural ingredients, helping to correct skin suffering from acne or dullness and leaving it as silky smooth as an R&B crooner on a zamboni joyride. Massage therapists soothe tension with kneading styles that incorporate aromatherapy or hot stones, and hairstylists soothe strands with styling tonics from Redken and Sexy Hair. The salon services incorporate everything from simple bang trims and partial foils to Brazilian blowouts that swathe frizzy tresses in a protective layer of protein to calm frizz and keep hair from snacking between meals.
The founder of Med Spa at Seena One, Dr. Anees, draws on his specialization in endocrinology, gastroenterology, and his advanced training in laser spa technology to round out a list of services designed to counteract the effects of aging. His interest in laser skin rejuvenation extends to his skilled team of medical aestheticians, who regularly zap follicles with noninvasive Lumenis lasers and break down unsightly veins with penetrating heat energy. The spa?s cosmetic aestheticians find the sweet spot between relaxation and results, expunging stress and blemishes with facials, massages, and infrared-sauna treatments that sizzle heavy-metal toxins still lingering long after their 1980s heyday.
Knockouts Haircuts for Men amps up the classic barbershop experience with a lavish, sports-themed approach to men's styling that has been featured on Today and CNBC's The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch. At a still-growing number of locations throughout the country, the company's all-female staff of stylists quarterbacks a full playbook of services ranging from bare-essential to spa-worthy. First and foremost, they clip shaggy locks, but they also administer facials, manicures, massages, and waxes. Complimentary beverages are included with every visit, giving patrons something to sip on while watching a sports game on TV or contemplating how they would fend off a lion using just a comb.

Customized to each client, spray tans are available in varying shades for a deep, streak-free, and even bronze.

Gear Review
Pretty Good
Great jacket, nice features and very warm! There are also a couple vents under the arms. But if you're not sure which size you would be, buy down! This jacket fits pretty big, I kind of wish I had the smaller size. Also if it looks greyish to you in the picture it's not at all, it's strictly green and pink. It really does look great though!

In his 30 years as the coach of the Montana men's tennis team Kris Nord had never won a regular-season Big Sky title. That changed Saturday afternoon when the Griz defeated Eastern Washington 6-1 to move to 7-0 in conference matches and claim at least a share of the title.
The Griz also locked up the top seed for next week's Big Sky tournament.
"We've been close a couple times, but we knocked down the door today," Nord said. "It feels pretty weird, but I'm enjoying it."
The Grizzlies' prospects didn't look good at the beginning of the doubles matches. At one point the No. 1 team was down 6-1, No. 2 was down 6-1 and No. 3 was down 6-2.
"I was in shock a half an hour into the doubles matches because we were being absolutely dominated," Nord said.
From that point the No. 1 team of Mikolaj Caruk and Andrew Warren and the No. 2 team of Michael Facey and Ethan Vaughnturned their matches around and scored wins.
Caruk and Warren won 9-8 (7-1), and Facey and Vaughn won 9-7.
"To have one and two turn it around was huge momentum-wise, and we carried that into singles," Nord said. "These guys hate to lose and it really shows. It was a remarkable run."
Caruk made quick work of his singles opponent, Ilija Cuic, in the No. 2 position, winning the match 6-1, 6-0. The win gave the Griz a 2-0 lead with five matches still to play.
"It was enormous to get another point on the board," Nord said. "It put tremendous pressure on the EWU players in the rest of the matches."
Facey also won his match at No. 4 with Chad Henninger in straight sets 6-4, 6-3 to give the Griz a 3-0 lead.
Shortly thereafter Carl Kuschke won at No. 1 to give the Grizzlies a 4-0 lead and clinch the win and the Big Sky title.
"It was fitting to have Carl clinch the match and the title for us," Nord said. "He has been a warrior for us these last four years. He deserved that."
The Eagles got their only point when Mario Navarro defeated Warren at No. 3, 6-4, 7-5.
The final two matches went to three sets.
At No. 6 reigning Big Sky player of the week Andreas Luczak won his match 6-4, 4-6, 10-8.
After a 6-2 loss in the first set Vaughn won the second set in a tiebreaker setting up the superbreaker third set. Vaughn outlasted Julian Sanchez 10-5 to get the win at No. 5.
The Grizzlies will host Montana State tomorrow at 2 p.m. at The Peak Racquet Club. The Griz take the rivalry as seriously as the football or basketball teams. Tonight though Nord will enjoy the historic victory.
"I'm going to enjoy this right now," he said. "Tomorrow we have MSU coming in, but right now we are the regular-season champs, so I am going to let that soak in a little."

The Tony Award-winning McCarter Theatre produces a bevy of captivating plays each year, often staging incendiary interpretations of traditional works and contemporary classics. This year's production of A Christmas Carol marks the McCarter's 30th incarnation of Dickinson's tale since its introduction to the theatre's season in 1980. The production will be performed in the 75-year-old, recently restored Matthews Theatre auditorium. Director Michael Unger gifts audiences with a heartfelt tale of Ebenezer's redemption guaranteed to cure mild to moderate cases of Scroogedom and Santaclaustrophobia.
Inside a vibrantly lit ballroom, the names of two newlyweds glow in big, cursive letters on the dance floor. The venue, an expansive space with arched ceilings and ornate chandeliers, is no doubt a popular spot for wedding ceremonies, but Majestic Events' team has gone above and beyond to make the space unique to the bride and groom.
This quest to personalize each event is what fuels the decisions of Majestic Events' photographers, videographers, DJs, emcees, and lighting technicians. Their services include live music, photography, and lighting design and were awarded WeddingWire?s Bride?s Choice award in 2011, 2012, and 2013.
Uptown Playaround is a comprehensive play, party, and enrichment center designed for kids ages 0 to 10, offering mirthful minors all the play amenities a candy-cane dreamer could conjure, from life-sized playhouses to multi-level jungle gyms and cushioned toddler crawling zones. The $45 gift card is equivalent to Uptown's five-entry pass, but it can be used toward drinks and snacks, or the delivery of pizza to your child's recreational runaround. The gift card is also valid for a jam-packed smorgasbord of active and educational classes throughout the day and week, including gymnastics, story time, yoga classes, and portfolio diversification. On-the-move moms can take a respite with the free WiFi and cable TV in the parent's lounge, and Groupon purchasers can also apply their gift card toward a private party for their tike and his entourage of cheerful cherubs.
A farcical plot to woo a beautiful lady descends upon ancient Rome throughout the musical comedy A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. With his freedom at stake, a crafty slave invests all his time and energy in securing his shy master's romantic ambitions. However, along the way, this hapless wingman tumbles into a cluster of zany characters and situations that spiral into a vortex of mistaken identities, wild chases, and side-splitting humor. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, one of composer Stephen Sondheim's earliest works, pays tribute to the most absurd of vaudevillian shows and netted a mantle's worth of Tony Awards during its original Broadway run.
