Our church, (Charleston Harbor Bible Church) is used to using "The Celebration Hymnal" and some of the songs are different in Song Select On-Line.......I called Integrity Media and they said that for an ad-on for Song Show 7 to display exactely what is in our hymnal it would be like a total of $320 or something like that. Does anyone know how to get this to work?Thanks!

26 Mar 2015 10:05 AMPan/zoom -- continued weirdness? by akins in Version 8.1 This is one of my most-used advanced effects. The implementation has always been strange and that seems to have continued into vs. 8.1. In vs.7, it worked well but the multi-zoom input section was a little hard to get used to and difficult to use since the scroll ribbon moved to the left after the values were entered, thus requiring a good amount of scrolling just to set it up. I think that the changes for vs. 8.1 are even worse! First of all, what is "percent" zoom suppose to mean? For example, is 10% suppose to indicate that the image will be 110% the original size, or 10% (that is reduced to 1/10th the original). If my measurements are correct 10% actually means 200%, that is, doubled in size. I haven't made a measurement for "100% zoom," but it looks like an enormous magnification -- not doubled as one might reasonably expect. Even using "percent" is a poor choice when the "percent of what" isn't provided. The zoom multiplication factor, as in vs. 7, makes more sense and is easier to understand. Since this new "percent" is restricted to 0-100, how does one zoom out?
The other problem with the "new & improved" input procedure is that there can only be 2 intermediate points, whereas vs. 7 allowed more (I never checked the maximum allowed, but I believe I once used 4.)
All in all, it looks like a botched job at improvement. I hope I've missed some key instructions that make this a more reasonable effect.

18 Mar 2015 06:05 PMRE: Question about audio files by George in Version 7William - I did not see your other post - was this in Version 7? I was looking at the setting is Version 8.
That said, there are similar presets in V7 as well. In fact, you can go to Tools > Preferences > Program Panel and change the setting for that feature to No. Look for "Set Background to black..." - it is near the bottom of the first Page.
I have moved this post to Version 7.
18 Mar 2015 05:41 PMRE: Importing Programs from Planning Center Online by Yagabu in Version 8.1 Will there be a future upgrade to the import utility to import/download other items such as a PPT? Greg

17 Mar 2015 04:40 PMRE: Installed 8.1 still showing 8.0 by Mark Smith in Version 8.1 George, thank you for the information and help. It was exactly as you said.
12 Mar 2015 11:04 AMRE: Download an older version by George in Windows 8I would recommend that you contact an admin at the church or other person that runs the worship that uses SongShow Plus and would be familiar with this.
They will know if they are current or intend to become current and they should also have the information you need. If not, a church contact would need to contact the support team to check up on this.
As previously stated you could use the current version of SSP by downloading from HERE, but if you must get an older version, the only way to get that is to log in with the church credentials and download from the ones that are available to that account.
06 Mar 2015 11:32 AMRE: Environmental projection effects by dreece in Version 8.1 At this time, what is sent to the environmental projection output is a mirror of the media item's background. There is no option to modify this in any way. We've considered some options to provide the capabilities you've requested since that would be helpful. In helping us determine please describe in a bit more detail what you would like to do with the environmental projection background. For instance, do you simply want to apply different effects to it or do you want a completely different background altogether. What effects do you want to use and why? Will a single set of independent settings be set on a per media item basis, or be applied to all media items presented?
06 Mar 2015 09:44 AMRE: PowerPoint 2013 runs maximized in the background when presenting in SongShow Plus (TS231) by George in Troubleshooting
It was found that if users will un-check the "Use Presenter View" check box in the slideshow control tab that should control this behavior.
03 Mar 2015 04:35 PMUsing SongShow Plus on Windows 10 by George in Windows 10Microsoft's next iteration of the operating system is Windows 10. Windows 10 is currently available as a technical preview download and is free for anyone to try out. The preview availability is expected to end on April 15th 2015 with Windows 10 release to be later in 2015. While a specific date was not available as of this post, it is speculated to fall between June and August 2015.
Windows 10 will be a free upgrade for Win7/8.1 users for the first year. For more information on Windows 10, a quick Google search will get you more than you want to know...
Regarding Windows 10 and SongShow Plus:
We have done some preliminary testing and it seems to be behaving as expected so far but more testing will be going on. If you decide to make the leap to Windows 10, either in the preview period or after its launch, and run into issue that you believe are Windows 10 related please post them here.
Updates will be posted as needed to this forum.
03 Mar 2015 08:07 AMRE: Windows 10? by George in Windows 10There has been some minor testing with Windows 10 and at this point there does not seem to be any difference - It seems to install and function normally.
There will of course be more extensive testing once Windows 10 is released to production.
28 Feb 2015 03:00 PMRE: Random Transitions?? by akins in Version 7OK in vs 7. there is a "random transition" at the top of the list under "no transition." Thanks for the help. Now I see that what I really was wanting was random entrance/exit animations for several text boxes & images in one slide. Probably no one has thought to do that ;-) and at the rate the wishes are processed, I won't wait around for it.

26 Feb 2015 03:57 PMRE: Strange display of songs by Yagabu in Version 8.1 That seems to be resolved also, I haven't done much to check on that since the one setting seems to have helped. Greg
24 Feb 2015 10:58 AMRE: Range check error? by George in Version 8.1 That is possible...
Please contact the support team to verify and pass on the content. We will need to get a program or two in order to diagnose the issue further.
24 Feb 2015 10:06 AMRE: Memory Leak by George in Version 8.1 I would not expect the format to matter but again we are not aware of any significant leak so we will need your content to test this out.
When you contact the support team another useful bit of info will be how long it runs before running out of memory. This is important so that we can make sure it is run long enough in testing.
If you are interested in trying to narrow down the culprit of the memory leak on your own you could do the following:
Determine the time it takes to run out of memory by running the slideshow.
Split your slideshow in half and run each half for that amount of time. If one half fails, split that in half and repeat.
Once you have it narrowed down, (hopefully to a single slide) you can send us that slide or reduced content.
If not just get with the support team to deliver the content you are having trouble with.
23 Feb 2015 09:54 AMRE: Bible translations by Clennon in Version 8.1 As a followup question to this for translations available, my church currently uses the Common English Bible very heavily. Is there any chance that could be made available as a digital version? Or possibly an interface with BibleGateway.com?

Any Bruins fan who has listened to or watched Jack Edwards knows that he has a tendency to wear his heart on his sleeve. That was on full display Tuesday night, when the Bruins came back from a 3-0 deficit to tie the game with less than a minute to play, thanks to two empty-net goals. Edwards was unable to contain his excitement after Brad Marchand's tying goal, and jumped for joy in the NESN booth while calling the game. Check out an animation of Edwards reacting to the goal with Andy Brickley in the video below.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Bound-up bowels leave constipation sufferers longing for regular call of nature
It's one of those personal ailments that plagues millions of Canadian adults, who often suffer in silence because they're too embarrassed to talk about, well, about not being able to "go."
Let's face it, constipation isn't exactly dinner conversation.
But the quest for regular bowel movements can become all-consuming for some people, especially those who are chronically stopped up, no matter how many prunes, flax seed and laxatives they consume.
Lynda Lucier doesn't want to be obsessed by bowel movements — or in her case, the lack of them — but she doesn't have much choice.
"I could take laxatives every day of the week and never go," Lucier, a hairdresser in Windsor, Ont., says by phone. On this particular day, it had been five days since her last BM.
When she was in her 20s, Lucier had ulcerative colitis and was continuously in and out of the bathroom with diarrhea. But at some point in her 40s, "I went from one way to the total opposite.
"I would go five or six days without even going to the bathroom," says Lucier, 56. "I had to go two sizes bigger in my clothing ... I don't even have to eat. I just have to drink water and my stomach will bloat up like I'm nine months pregnant.
"And then it gets full of gas and you're like so crampy and you just want the day to end."
An estimated 15 to 30 per cent of Canadians are affected by chronic constipation, and that figure rises to about 50 per cent when it comes to the elderly, says Gail Attara, president of the Gastrointestinal Society.
"They have an ongoing sensation that feels as if they need to move their bowels — it's all they can think about."
People with the condition often don't want to admit they can't do what they assume almost everyone else does with natural ease, and many are embarrassed by the topic. Others say they don't want to waste their doctor's time dealing with something they think isn't a "valid illness."
In fact, it can often take years for people to seek help from their doctors, says Attara, whose organization supports research and provides information to consumers about gastrointestinal and liver health.
The first step, says Vancouver gastroenterologist Dr. James Gray, is determining whether a patient really has chronic constipation, after ruling out a tumour or other obstruction.
"The definition sort of traditionally has always been frequency of bowel movements, that you must go every day and if you don't then you're in trouble. And that was very Victorian — you have to keep flogging your bowels until you go every day," explains Gray.
"A lot of older people grew up with this idea.... So there is a lot of toileting behaviours and people become kind of obsessed with this idea that they must go. And then they were giving themselves enemas and stronger and stronger laxatives, all with that goal of the once-a-day bowel movement which is probably the average but which is certainly not mandatory."
The reality is that frequency of nature's call can vary dramatically from one person to another, he says.
"So my definition is what's comfortable. If the stool passes easily and you're not having to strain or push, then that's normal for you. And that might be twice a week or three times a day."
Under optimal conditions, food moves through the colon, or large intestine, which absorbs water to form waste products, or stool. Muscle contractions in the colon, called peristalsis, push the stool toward the rectum for elimination.
Constipation occurs when the colon absorbs too much water or peristalsis is sluggish, leading to hard, dry stools that are difficult to evacuate.
Common causes include too little fibre in the diet and too much meat and dairy; medications such a codeine and morphine; and supplements like calcium and iron. Lack of physical activity and inadequate hydration can also lead to constipation, especially in the elderly. A host of other drugs can also contribute to lethargic bowels, as can certain medical conditions, such irritable bowel syndrome and Parkinson's disease.
Travel that upsets a person's circadian rhythms and throws meal times out of whack can also cause the colon to shut down, at least temporarily. Mood can also affect the bowels, though the connection is hard to measure scientifically, offers Gray.
"But I think many people would say that if you become kind of depressed and sluggish in your mental function, it could have a little bit of an effect on your bowel function, too. And people, when their mood changes, often they don't eat as well, they don't drink as well, so their reduction in fibre and fluid becomes an issue as well."
For those deemed to be occasionally or chronically costive, there is a veritable cornucopia of treatments.
Prunes and prune juice. Ground flax seed. Legumes and whole-grain products. Increased fluid intake, especially water, fruit and vegetable juices.
"You need something that will bulk up, so you need the fibre and the fluid with it, because it's the combination of the fluid absorbing into the fibre that activates the fibre and makes (stools) bulkier," explains Gray.
Toronto naturopath Erica Cowan advises patients who are persistently blocked up to start by modifying their diet.
"If you're eating eight servings of fruits and vegetables a day, or even five servings a day, it's very difficult to be constipated," she says, adding that starting off the day with warm water containing a good squeeze of lemon juice can help get the bowels moving.
Cowan, who practices at the Mahaya Forest Hill Integrative Health clinic, also recommends including healthy oils such as olive, coconut or flax seed in the diet, as well as taking probiotics in pill form to help promote healthy gut flora. Sticking to regular meal times also helps promote regularity.
When diet changes don't do the trick, many people turn to laxatives, most of them over-the-counter preparations that work in a variety of ways. Bulk-forming laxatives soften stools, but must be taken with water to prevent bowel obstruction, and they can interfere with absorption of some medications. Stimulants, such as senna-based products, increase muscle contractions in the intestines, while osmotics are designed to hold fluid within the colon to help stool pass more easily. There are also stool softeners, lubricants like mineral oil, and saline laxatives that draw water into the colon, including the old standby Milk of Magnesia.
While doctors often recommend laxatives for seemingly intractable cases, Cowan believes the purgatives are prescribed too liberally or self-prescribed by plugged-up patients desperate for relief.
"Over time, if you continue to abuse laxatives or just depend on them, the bowels stop responding to them," she asserts. "So then you have twice the problem: first you were constipated, now you're constipated so much that even stimulating laxatives don't work."
Among physicians, there is debate as to whether continuous laxative use creates dependency. Gray, for one, believes that's a misconception, and he says the medical literature seems to agree.
"There's nothing to really support the idea that your bowel becomes addicted to these products. I think the reality is people have sluggish, lazy bowels ... for reasons that aren't always clear to us."
Doctors are excited about the new drug Resotran (prucalopride), recently approved by Health Canada to treat women whose chronic constipation has not been relieved by laxatives. (There were not enough men in clinical trials to demonstrate it works in males.)
The drug, which stimulates peristalsis, is taken for a certain period in a bid to restore regular bowel movements, says Attara of the Gastrointestinal Society.
Lucier took Resotran for a month and had great success, but her bowels soon reverted to their old ways. Her doctor told her to combine the drug with probiotics and it worked — at least on this day.
While the hairdresser hopes the medication will end her constipation woes, having no drug plan would make its $156-per-month cost a financial hardship.
Still, recalling what it's like when she finally does get Nature's call, Lucier admits it may be worth it.
"It's like the best feeling in the world. It's like not having a vacation for a year — and then all of a sudden you're there."

Eidos Interactive, the London based publishers behind the phenomenally successful Tomb Raider series, have issued a statement publicly apologizing to a French archeologist who was apparently resembled in Tomb Raider 4 - The Last Revelation.
Jean-Yves Empereur, famed for his discovery of the Pharos Lighthouse - one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World - near the Egyptian city of Alexandra, said the character Jean Yves, which appeared alongside videogame heroine Lara Croft in Tomb Raider 4, resembled himself in both profession and name.
The statement, published in the French daily Le Monde, quotes Eidos Interactive Ltd as saying that any resemblance to Jean Yves Empereur was purely coincidental, and that although The Last Revelation will continue to sell in its current state for technical reasons, no such character would appear in forthcoming Tomb Raider titles.

They're so hot that you think to yourself, "That human person is such an ideal specimen that there is absolutely no way we won't be perfect for one another." Well I do that all the time, except with celebrities. And here are all the people who have let me down by opening their mouths and ruining everything. More
The nice thing about celebrity couples filming together is that it preserves the state of a relationship when it was in its glory days. Since Hollywood relationships tend to end much more quickly than regular ones, it's nice to have a portrait of better times, neatly presented in a two-hour-ish package, complete with flattering lighting, hilariously dated costumes, and ideally, an intriguing storyline. More
Oh Robert Pattinson, you sweet sweet treasure. Aren't you just the most precious thing ever, opening your mouth and making silly words come out of it? It's adorable that you think you're missing out on parts because you don't crush it out at the gym on a regular basis and not because of a suspicious lack of talent at doing anything besides brooding and sparkling in the sun. More
Colin Firth turns 53 years old today. Which, I think we can all agree, is very old. Like dad old. Yet, for some reason, I'm still attracted to him. Dear heart, riddle me that. How can I still want to have casual sex with a man who's old enough to be someone's father? More
I live in a dangerous world over here in Bloggytown, that I'm not sure all of you are aware of. It's a little village right between Rumorville and Confirmation City, and you have to be very alert while wandering its streets. But some stories just keep swirling around, whether or not you can confirm or deny them, so here's a list of twelve of the biggest ones. ALLEGEDLY. More
Because, he tells them, it's nearly impossible to fake an orgasm. "Faking a relationship," he allegedly added under his breath, "that's a whole other story." More
How long must a girl be rumored to be dating someone before she finally ties the knot? If Kristen Stewart's incredibly-slow-moving relationship with Lane Garrison is any indication, the answer is 12 or more days. More
And not in the way where he's curious about your life and what you get up to. In the 'HOW DO YOU ACCOUNT FOR YOU TIME YOU SILLY TWIT' way. More
You know that saying, 'sometimes a whole is greater than the sum of its parts'? Well, sometimes that means peanut butter is delicious and jelly is delicious, but PB&J is extra delicious, which is great. But some other times it means there are two famous people who aren't quite taking it to the next level, but suddenly with their powers combined, they're one of those elusive beasts, the celebrity power couple, and they become unstoppable.
This two hours detail got me thinking about what Rob could have possibly been doing in that house all that time. There are so many possibilities, from sexytimes to boringtimes. And I think the best thing we can do right now, to really cope with the shock of this new development, is to lay out a few hypothetical reasons and then just close our eyes and point to one. More

INDIANAPOLIS - APRIL 02: Head coach Bob Huggins of the West Virginia Mountaineers shakes hands with Jonnie West #4 during practice prior to the 2010 Final Four of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament at Lucas Oil Stadium on April 2, 2010 in Indianapolis, Indiana. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)
Having only six returning players doesn't give Bob Huggins much of a nucleus to build on at West Virginia. It's no help, either, that some of his recruits will be unable to contribute. Huggins is hoping the few veterans he has - none of them seniors - can help the Mountaineers improve on last season's eighth-place finish in the Big 12. The six returnees averaged a combined 35 points, led by Eron Harris at 9.8 points per game. Terry Henderson averaged eight points and is the top returning 3-point shooter. Juwan Staten, the point guard and returning assists leader, is the only veteran who started more than 20 games last season. Five of the returnees are guards. ''I think the bulk of our scoring is going to be from the perimeter,'' Huggins said. ''That's what we're good at.'' Gathering missed shots will be one of the biggest challenges. West Virginia lost more than half of its rebounding total from last season. Kevin Noreen is the top returning rebounder at 4.4 per game. The Mo...

iSeries® Hybrid Sleep System by Serta® at Crazy J's Home Furnishings
Intelligent Comfort. Individual Support.®
Are you interested in the benefits of a memory foam mattress, but prefer the comfort and support of a traditional innerspring? It's time to experience the iSeries® Hybrid Sleep System by Serta.
Our iSeries mattresses combine the same memory foam innovations found in our all-foam iComfort® Sleep System with the support of an advanced innerspring. This unique construction works to provide intelligent cradling and cooling comfort at the sleep surface with deep individual support for each sleep partner.
More gel. More coils. iSeries® is now redesigned with more innovations for 2014.
Every new iSeries mattress features Cool Action™ Dual Effects® Gel Memory Foam – Serta's latest breakthrough in gel memory foam technology. This is the world's first material to combine both our original MicroSupport® gel and our MicroCool+™ gel in a material with up to 25% more total gel than our original formula. Plus, we have upgraded our exclusive individually wrapped coil support system by adding even more Duet® Coils, which help properly balance comfort and support across the mattress regardless of body type.
What makes iSeries® technology different?
All foam is not created equal. iSeries features our breakthrough Cool Action™ Dual Effects® Gel Memory Foam. This is the world's first material to infuse both our MicroSupport® and MicroCool+™ gels into premium memory foam for an extremely comfortable and supportive sleep surface, while helping to reduce the heat build-up that can be associated with memory foam mattresses.
Plus, our exclusive Duet® Coil Individually Wrapped Coil-in-Coil Support System features strategically placed Duet® Coils that properly balance comfort and support across the entire sleep surface, regardless of body type.
Outstanding Pressure Relief
Too much pressure build-up while you sleep can cause disruptive tossing and turning. Serta's Cool Action™ Dual Effects® material is uniquely designed to help reduce average body pressure while you sleep, which can help reduce tossing and turning for a deeper and more restful sleep.
Support Where You Need it Most
Serta's Cool Action™ Dual Effects® material works to uniquely support your body where it needs it most. Millions of MicroSupport® gel beads gather under the areas of your body that need extra support. Meanwhile, each Duet® Coil in the advanced innerspring is engineered so that the exterior coil provides an initial soft and luxurious feeling, responding to weight and body movement instantly. Plus, the interior coils, once engaged with body weight, react with increasing firmness to provide the essential support needed for correct postural alignment. With the right support, your muscles can relax and rejuvenate so you can wake up feeling refreshed.
Enhanced Cooling Comfort
Heat build-up during the night can cause uncomfortable and restless sleep. Serta's Cool Action™ Dual Effects® material combines an open-cell structure and our exclusive MicroCool+ gel to significantly increase airflow and the ability to dissipate heat. Together with the natural airflow design of an innerspring support system, these properties help whisk heat away from the body.
Comfort that lasts
Serta's Cool Action™ Dual Effects® material has been engineered and extensively tested to deliver exceptional comfort for years.
Serta Exclusive Technology
Our revolutionary Cool Action™ Gel Memory Foam material inspired an entirely new category of sleep systems. This material was developed after years of careful study and refinement of existing memory foam products, including the original NASA-inspired memory foam technology. We then improved this with our Cool Action™ Dual Effects® material, which combines our original MicroSupport® gel with our breakthrough MicroCool+ gel in a foam with up to 25% more gel than our original Cool Action material. Our material represents a new science in memory foam, re-engineered from the bottom up for excellent comfort, support, temperature regulation, and durability. Plus, our Duet® Coil Support System is exclusive to Serta and features a posturized design, with nearly two-thirds of the Duet® Coils concentrated in the center third of the innerspring.
Made with Genuine Serta® Gel – Only our Cool Action™ Dual Effects® material contains millions of Serta's MicroSupport® and MicroCool+™ gel beads that are infused into our own premium, open-cell memory foam. This proprietary process creates an extremely breathable and supportive memory foam that helps dissipate heat away from the body.
Infused, not Coated or Blended with Gel – Using a proprietary process, our MicroSupport® and MicroCool+™ gels are actually infused directly into our exclusive premium memory foam while the foam is being produced. This gives our Cool Action™ material a special combination of comfort, support, breathability, and durability. Other so-called "gel" memory foams may use dye and polyol thickeners in place of real gel. Depending on the type of material used, these additives may only have a limited impact on the performance of the foam.

High turnover on the side of the company - Very numbers and goals driven. If not successful or not on board, won't last too long.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Goals are the same nationwide regardless of area. Employee goals should be variable, not static based on perhaps YOY. As it is, based on changes in the last year, no one has ever passed Bronze in certain areas in the entire division. This leads to lack of motivation since it is essentially unattainable. Lower the upper-end goal requirements - even if it means lowering the bonuses to do it.RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEO

does anyone know of a place i can get a 2 tap tower with perlick 525ss in them already, or a tower that doesn't have faucets so i can add my own? i'm not gonna bother with buying low end stuff and have to buy perlicks later, i want them right out of the gate.
where's a cheap place to make this happen?
Keg connection, I got what you are looking for through them.
I found mine on ebay, $15
i saw kegcowboy.com had some great prices on stainless towers and offered perlicks as an option.
Another vote for Kegconnection!
At least for me, buying a draft tower with regular faucets from another supplier, and then adding Perlicks separately cost me significantly less than buying the whole shebang out of the box from KegConnection. I have a 3-tap tower, though.
my $0.02:
I already had nice faucets on a full-sized fridge kegerator when I decided to make a smaller towered kegerator. I bought the tower with the generic faucets on it, swapped them out for my nice faucets, and then sold the brand new generic faucets right here on HBT.

Furniture-tipover deaths of children on rise
With the holidays coming up and big-screen televisions on many wish lists, Phoenix-area safety experts advise parents to secure TVs and furniture that could tip over and harm children.
According to the injury prevention center at Phoenix Children's Hospital, tipped-over televisions hurt more than 22,000 children a year, with 245 yearly deaths of children under 6.
Last month, a 5-year-old Phoenix boy died from injures suffered when a large TV fell on him.
"The holidays are coming and between holiday sales and visitors, many homes have new furniture or television, with small children presents," said injury prevention center spokeswoman Angelica Baker in a statement.
A tipped-over television and dresser took the life of Brayden Lee Rodgers, of Surprise, on the last day of 2011.
"As the holdiays approach, all I can think of is what I'd be doing with him right now -- getting ready for Christmas, getting ready to spend time with our family," said Brayden's mother, Heather Poole.
"I don't get to do that this year."
Child-proofing in a home should include:
� Anchoring furniture -- bookcases, dressers, entertainment -- to the wall with brackets to prevent tipping over
� Placing TVs on low, sturdy furniture, not on dressers or shelves
� Pushing TVs as far back from the edge of their stand as possible
� Placing items of interest to children far out of reach

Turtle Brownie Bites
Enjoy these bite-sized brownies filled withed chopped pecans and topped with sweet caramel and toasted pecan halves.
I don't know about you, but moving stinks. Sure it's exciting to move into a new place and get situated but the whole moving boxes and heavy furniture for extended periods of time thing I could do without. So while I slowly work on situating the new living situation, you guys can sit back and enjoy these turtle brownie bites. Whether you use a boxed mix or make the brownies homemade, all you have to add is caramel and pecans for turtley goodness.

Orange Glazed Green Beans and Butternut Squash
Citrus is a great compliment to ham but instead of glazing your ham, glaze your green beans and butternut squash in this festive side dish.
Lesson learned: get a flu shot every year. This year was the first in 8 that I did not get a flu shot, mainly because I couldn't get it for free anymore (oh how I miss the perks of being a student), and sure enough the flu found me on Christmas Eve of all days. I've been slowly recovering since with my biggest achievement coming in the form of a shower. Hooray cleanliness!
Before I realized what my sniffles were leading up to, I did help cook dinner on Christmas Eve for my parents (thankfully they had already passed the illness, likely to me). The menu consisted of smoked country ham from Benton's, my dad's homemade applesauce, cheddar biscuits, rosemary mac and cheese, and orange glazed green beans and butternut squash. I often pair ham with a citrus glaze but since we went with a smoked ham this year the citrus element went into the side dish instead. And it was the favorite part of the meal.

Pumpkin Pecan Waffles
Have any leftover pumpkin puree in your possession? Make breakfast! These pumpkin pecan waffles are not only seasonally appropriate, but delicious.
If there's any chance you have pumpkin puree still lying around, do what we did and throw it into your breakfast. My dad always makes his own pumpkin puree and normally around this time of year my dad makes pumpkin pancakes, which we've had plenty of, but this time he mixed it into waffles with pecans. I love the texture and flavor of the little bits of pecan throughout the waffle.

Weeknight meals don't have to be boring. Try this apple cider glazed chicken served with browned butter rice and toasted pecans. Ready in the time it takes to cook rice.
If you are a ZipList user, you should have received an e-mail notifying you that starting tomorrow they will no longer be supporting their recipe box and shopping list platform. If you haven't already you can transfer your saved recipes to the Epicurious Recipe Box and save all your shopping lists and recipes to your computer. Visit http://www.ziplist.com/savemyziplist to save your shopping lists and recipes.
What does this mean for The Spiffy Cookie? As you may have noticed, I have stopped adding the ZipList button to my recipes. However, I have always included a "Print/PDF" button at the bottom of every recipe as an easy way to print or save as a PDF. I have a file folder on my computer with subfolders for various food categories as if it were a digital version of a recipe box on my desktop, but instead it is filled with recipe PDF files. There are also options at the bottom of each recipe to share via various social media. Pinterest is a useful tool for organizing a virtual recipe box as well and it's accessible from anywhere.
Feel free to practice saving, printing, and/or sharing on the recipe I am sharing today. It's an easy weeknight meal for chicken with an apple cider glaze and rice tossed with toasted pecans and browned butter.

Hummingbird Cake
If you enjoy carrot and banana cake you'll love hummingbird cake. Banana, pineapple, and pecans make a moist fluffy cake topped with cream cheese frosting and even more pecans.
Over the weekend a certain family member of mine celebrated a birthday – my dad turned 70 on Sunday! We threw him party filled with all of his golf, softball, pickleball, shenanigan, etc. friends and had all kinds of things to eat such as my dad's cook-off winning chili, corn spoon bread, sweet and sour meatballs, cocktail weenies, buffalo chicken dip, sausage cheese bread, and spinach dip. Of course no 70th birthday is complete without scads of desserts! We had potica, pineapple angel food cake, three different kinds of brownies (turtle, hot chocolate, peanut butter), and last but not least, hummingbird birthday cake!
The birthday boy requested this cake and even had a recipe saved for it. If you've never had hummingbird cake, it is like a fluffy version of banana bread with not only banana but also crushed pineapple, pecans, and cinnamon. It's topped by the best kind of frosting on earth, cream cheese frosting, and then garnished with even more pecans. Basically it is a cake stuffed with some of my dad's favorite things: fruit and nuts. After he quickly blew out the candles in one breath (and I sadly didn't have my flash on and ended up with a blurry photo – below is staged), I made sure to slice him a piece with the most nuts on top!

Caramel Apple Pecan Cheesecake
Caramel cheesecake, speculoos cookie crust, apples, more caramel, pecans, and cinnamon whipped cream. If that's not the works for an epic caramel cheesecake I don't know what is.
Time for the obligatory "I woke up to snow this morning" proclamation. Funny how living in the South for the past 8 years has already altered my Northerner mind set into thinking it is way too early for below freezing temperatures, let alone snow. But it will probably melt by noon so all is well, at least down here. I know some of my friends still living in the North are about to get pounded with snow. Not that they don't know how to handle it up there but it is a bit early to be getting that much snow. Stay warm, my friends!
You will notice that I did not take the photos of this cheesecake during this snowy event. This is the dessert I made for Friendsgiving, when it was still warm and sunny out (was that really only 1-1/2 weeks ago?). Instead of making pumpkin or apple pie, since I knew we were get our fill in a couple weeks on Thanksgiving, I made a caramel cheesecake with a speculoos cookie crust, topped with apples, more caramel sauce, pecans, and even cinnamon whipped cream. And yes every last bit of it was devoured. One of my friends even took it upon himself to top his slice with all of the excess whipped cream.

This oatmeal was a spur of the moment improvisation by my dad. I had some leftover homemade pumpkin puree and he decided to try it in his trusty oatmeal recipe, substituting for the chopped apples. The result was pumpkin pie in oatmeal form! I even put some spiced pecans on top.
If you've never had homemade oatmeal before you are severely missing out. Nothing beats a warm bowl of homemade oatmeal in the morning, especially during the cooler fall months and it couldn't be easier to make. This morning my dad and I are going on a hike to see the fall colors and I may need to make another batch of this in preparation.

Bourbon Pecan Pie for One
Everything you love about pecan pie now in a single serving size. This bourbon pecan pie for one is easy to prepare, complete with a mini pie crust recipe.
Today everyone's nuts are on display for Grab Some Nuts Day! A group of bloggers got together to play with their nuts in celebration of this awesomely silly holiday, creating nutty recipes featuring tanned nuts, salty nuts, nut butters and nut balls. So grab some nuts and get ready to show them off.
I'm not sure when my love of nuts began but I naively proclaimed it during my high school AP English class. The assignment was to write a letter in the form of a poem (we were learning the different styles at the time) and as usual our teacher was anonymously reading them in front of the class. One student wrote a letter to a candy bar company protesting all the nuts they put in their products – at which point I gasped and exclaimed "but I love nuts!" As I am sure you can imagine, the 17/18 year-olds in my class stifled their laughter as I suddenly became aware of what I had said and felt the blood rushing to my face, but thankfully our teacher continued reading and I was spared.
For my contribution to Grab Some Nuts Day I got my nuts drunk and gooey in a single serving bourbon pecan pie because it's not the size that matters, it's how you use it (and because today is Single Serving Sunday as well).

Exterior door framing
I own a 2001 Palm harbor dw that has 6" exterior framing. I was looking to replace the cheap looking front door with a nice one from lowes. Of course my door is only 78" tall so the opening would have to be extended to an 82" rough opening. After checking with a stud finder and a finish nail it appears Palm Harbor does not install a header above the door. Is this standard or is it because the framing is 2x6 so it's stronger. Since there is no header I don't see any great difficulty installing a standard door. Also it appears that Palm Harbor could have installed a standard door instead of the "special" 78" door. Was that to make most people come to thim for a new door? $$$ Am I missing something?
The door's installed now. The old door was held in by a flange and screws on the outside. There was one long screw in the upper hinge side going thru the jamb to the stud. That's it. No shims or nails or screws at the hinges. Just abour 1/2" of space. On the latch side there was a couple of "shims" just held in by friction. The "shims" appeared to be pieces of laminate flooring. Across the top there was a stud, no header. I just cut it out and slipped the new door in. The old jamb was very thin and flimsy. I guess being attached with the flange made it seem stronger. The new jamb is over twice as thick. I installed it in the normal stick built way using long screws instead of nails and real shims. I don't think the top stud did anything. It wasn't attached to the door at all. Even the flange wasn't attached, no screws on top. So I don't think it will be any problem being gone.

Organic vs chemical fertilizer
I mixed dehydrated manure into my soil as fertilizer for my flowers, herbs, and vegetables. Is it worth it to drop chemical fertilizer granules into the soil also? I read that tomatoes do well with chemical fertilizer, but I'm not sure if I should add it to them or my other plants. Can anyone give me some advice or information concerning this?
Before you fertilize I'd recommend a soil test, especially for vegetable gardens so you will know exactly which nutrients your soil is lacking. This way you can add the appropriate organic fertilizer necessary. I like to say you get out of your garden what you put into it...in other words if you want organically grown vegetables use organic fertizers and if you want chemically grown vegetables use chemical fertizers. Plants really don't know the difference and they will take up what nutrients they need. But if a certain nutrient is missing that is needed for the plant to take up another that could be a problem, that is why soil tests are so important.
Also, the soil test will tell you ph. I believe the ph is important because it can inhibit the uptake of certain nutrients. Meaning that even if the nutrient is in the soil, the plant is unable to use it.
Penn State Extension does soil tests for about $9 (I think) I will put the link below.

I still think this is just uncommon level.
I thought this was enchantment that turned your stuff into Trygon Predators. As a sorcery, it's kind of lame. Definitely only uncommon worthy. It should at least be an instant.
I would much rather have Creeping Corrosion, even with the increased cost.
Hee! Awesome! That's a good mythic :)
Looks rather worse than Dungrove Elder, Dauntless Dourbark, and Uktabi Wildcats.
Looks a lot worse than Assemble the Legion. That gives you both effects rather than just one, and for free rather than for , and still for 5 mana. Okay, this makes 2/2s and can be used by any colour, which does mean it shouldn't be as good... hmm.
If you drop the cost of , then this becomes "tap it the turn you cast it, then next turn onwards it makes a 2/2". That's similar to Bloodline Keeper, Garruk Relentless or Xenagos, the Reveler (all being used only for their token-making effect, nothing else). So it seems black or green can get that for 4 mana (albeit at mythic in some cases). Those cards all have another powerful alternative effect, but so does (this hypothetical change to) this one: you can forgo making a token for a turn, to charge it up to make two tokens a turn from then on.
Okay, maybe dropping the cost of entirely might be a bit good. I think it could come down to though.
Making a creature legendary doesn't do much except allow it to benefit from things like Okina, Temple to the Grandfathers, since even if you have another of that same creature, the legend rule doesn't apply unless they're both legendary. I guess that's not exactly a bad thing, though.
It's like Konda's Banner combined with Alpha Status. Looks very expensive to equip, but for something that gives a double Anthem plus a big targeted pump I guess that might be necessary. Pity that it doesn't do anything (or not much) if you don't have any/many creatures out. Reminds me of Pennon Blade in that respect.
I wonder if you could use "duration" wording as Wizards has moved to with Banishing Light. "Put an aim counter on target creature until that creature attacks." Hmm... Probably not. It looks weird now that I've typed it out.
Hmm. So this normally works just as ": Target creature attacks next turn if able." But when you dig out an untap effect (or a second copy of this), you get awesomeness. Which is fine, for a combo of two cards one of which is rare.

Put A Lid On It
Get Two Free Griffins Tickets! Just PUT A LID ON IT!
1) Make a pledge to ALWAYS wear your helmet when riding your bike or scooter and when skating or skateboarding.
2) You'll receive a voucher for two free Griffins tickets to a 2015-16 regular season game (vouchers to be mailed this summer; schedule to be released in August) and a chance to win a new bike!

The "Put A Lid On It!" (PALOI) helmet safety program is a public service of the Grand Rapids Griffins and is presented by Helen DeVos Children's Hospital. The PALOI program was founded by the Griffins in 2004 to promote helmet safety to elementary and middle school children throughout West Michigan, with an ultimate goal of reducing the occurrence and severity of head injuries sustained during wheeled sports and other outdoor activities.
In recognition of this effort, the Griffins were honored as the recipient of the Brain Injury Association of Michigan's 2007 Prevention Award.
If your company is interested in sponsoring the PALOI program, either click here for information or call the Griffins at (616) 774-4585 ext. 3046.
ATTENTION PARENTS! Click here for tips on choosing a helmet and getting your child to wear it.
Coming soon.
All events and times subject to change.
Through the Griffins' "Put A Lid On It!" helmet safety program, presented by Helen DeVos Children's Hospital, thousands of kids across West Michigan have made pledges to always wear their helmets when they ride their bikes. In return for their pledge, each child receives two free tickets from the Griffins.
During the 2013-14 season, one of those kids was also chosen at random as the winner of a brand new Giant bike from Village Bike & Fitness.
At the Griffins' game on April 5, 2014, 10-year-old Nora Coppock of Kentwood received her new bike. Congratulations Nora, and good job to all the other kids who use their heads and "Put A Lid On It!"
- A helmet protects you by absorbing and distributing the impact of a crash before it reaches your brain and reduces the risk of brain injury by 88%.
- Use of bicycle helmets would prevent one death every day and one brain injury every four minutes.
- Falls can happen anywhere. A fall from two feet can cause a brain injury affecting your ability to see, think, walk or talk.
- Brain injury is the leading cause of disability and death in bicycle accidents.
- Bicycle-related deaths are highest in children ages 10-14.
- Brain injury is the most serious injury to inline skaters who do not wear protective gear.

WATCH: Hurricane Arthur From 30 Miles Out At Sea
Originally published on Sat July 5, 2014 3:08 pm
By Scott Neuman
Although Hurricane Arthur appears to have spared the U.S. East Coast any major damage, 100 mph winds are nothing to take lightly, especially 30 miles out to sea along the infamous Frying Pan Shoals south of Cape Hatteras.
Take a look at the video above of Arthur as it passed on Thursday over Frying Pan Tower, a one-time U.S. Coast Guard Light Station that's been converted into a bed and breakfast (you can book here!).

Here's the good news regarding this game. The Hornets actually, for the first time, had more then a day off between games. Despite the concerns us fans have regarding team dynamics, the problem could be much simpler. We've had an absolutely grueling schedule this point in terms of turnaround time from game to game. This could be partly responsible for some of the second half collapses we've seen in the past two games. Certain teams whose success is driven by guard play are more equipped to deal with this problem then us.....we go as Big Al goes....and he's been tired.
With two full days off I expect to see a less tired team in the second half which should result in an improved second half fg percentage.
In terms of match ups, this game it should be interesting. The Suns are ill equipped to handle a healthy Big Al in the paint. We're ill equipped to handle the depth of the Suns' guard rotations. Our strategy shouldn't be to collapse in the paint when the Suns get the ball inside to a big. To win this game we have to stop the guards being able to penetrate into the teeth of our defense. In other words make the Morris's and Plumlee beat us.
With Zeller likely being inserted into the starting lineup with the absence of Williams our front court may improve. However Williams hasn't been playing as bad as some seem to think and his shooting and his mid range defense will be missed. What worries me is how the Suns will take advantage of the dreaded Maxiell, Biyombo combo we'll surely see. It actually could be a decent defensive line up as Biyombo isn't nearly as flat-footed as Jefferson when an opposing guard penetrates into the paint. However it could be an offensive train wreck....so it's important for the guards to hit their shots while those two bigs are on the floor together.
