Federal tax law has some beneficial (and well-deserved) breaks for military families. And, there are key provisions that can simplify things—and maybe save money—when it comes to state income taxes, too. Generally, your legal residence for determining where you vote, get your driver's license and pay your taxes is the state where you live. But the law allows servicemembers to maintain legal residence in one state even if they are stationed in another. Imagine the hassle if you had to change all those things every time you were transferred. That's the simplicity part.
The Minnesota Department of Revenue has a host of helpful information for military servicemembers and their families. Visit the Minnesota Department of Revenue website to learn more about tax benefits you may be eligible for.

A well designed intranet and/or extranet is a diverse utility that can increase productivity, enhance communication, save money, empower employees, encourage new ideas and improve morale.
What does a well functioning Intranet or Extranet do?
Instead of asking different departments for needed paperwork, documentation, drawings, or other items, employees or outside vendors can access needed information from their desks.
Every employee will get the same information. This reduces confusion and improves worker productivity.
Every department now has one place to update their relevant documentation. The potential cost savings from this advantage alone are huge. An Intranet can reduce the use of out-of-date information, assuring consistency with updated standards, protocols and practices.
Whether your team is in one location or across the globe, interactivity between employees, departments and teams remains consistent. Information is distributed in one location for all, increasing mobile productivity.
An intranet is a private website used for internal resources and communications.
Extranets are intranets that are made accessible to outside stakeholders. This can be very useful if your company has internal employees, but also uses outside vendors, distributors, or other company partners.
An intranet is a private website used for internal resources and communications. Consider an intranet for your employees to:
"Are all intranets created equal?"
Nope. Like websites, intranets vary in design, function, size and many other categories. Intranets, by definition, are rarely seen by people outside the organization. Any company can easily compare their website to the websites of competitors; that's almost impossible to do with intranets.
To give you an idea of some elements that every intranet should have, here are some common pages found on most intranets:
Intranet Home Page
Typical features include:
Common Tasks Page
Main features include:
Depending on the size and nature of the company, the size and capabilities of the intranet will vary. Employee insights will help you determine which level of intranet will suit your business.
Getting Started
A well designed Intranet of any size requires a well planned strategy. Here are some basics:
The information below highlights the typical grown pattern for an Intranet.
Once the Intranet launches, watch how users interact with the site. Use Google Analytics or a heatmap tool to see where users are clicking. Spending ten minutes to watch how somebody uses the intranet will give you insights you wouldn't get any other way.
One aspect that will potentially provide momentum to move from stage 1 to 2 and then 3, is accepting user content. You want to make it easy for users to be able to add content as necessary. You also want to let them customize the intranet to their specific needs, through things such as "My Links".
Once the system is up and running and everyone understands it, the return on investment will be significant.
Extranets are essentially intranets that are made accessible to outside stakeholders. This can be very useful if your company has internal employees, but also uses outside vendors, distributors, or other company partners.
Extranets provide various stakeholders, outside your immediate company employees, with the information and documentation they need to perform their jobs and assist your organization.
A good extranet will provide the following to all users:
Extranets provide a remote access to collaboration and document management tools for all key stakeholders. This increases mobile productivity by eliminating the need for external partners to seek information directly from the company employees.
Some examples of successful extranet tools include:
Communication is enhanced and encouraged between employees and external partners through extranet technologies.
"It seems like a good idea, but I'm not sure exactly how I would implement it in my company."
We're here to help. We've designed intranets and extranets for companies with various needs. Let's chat about what you're trying to accomplish, then build you an intranet/extranet that bridges your internal communications gaps.
Or, feel free to visit our headquarters to learn more about Intranets and Extranets.
I've worked with several other web development companies and, in my experience, I have to say the Northwoods team offers the best value and excellence in customer service and experience. From the very start it was about creating a site that actually works not only for our clients but also for our staff. I highly recommend Northwoods for their quality work, skilled team, and excellent customer service.
- Natascha Malkemes, Director of Marketing, Lutheran Social Services of WI & Upper MI, Inc.
I just have a lot of admiration for the Northwoods team. This is world-class intelligence and quality. I don't know how Northwoods managed to assemble so many excellent people in one place.

Door to Door: Government launches vision for integrated cycling, walking and public transport
Drive to reduce the number of short journeys made by car
Previous News
Next News
The Government has set out its vision for 'integrated sustainable journeys'; encouraging greener modes of transport by making journeys using public transport seamlessly integrated with cycling and walking.
The 'Door to Door' proposals, unveiled by Transport Minister Norman Baker this week, include better information about various transport options, more affordable and simpler ticketing, and better connecting services.
As he launched Door to Door, Mr Baker explained that for journeys of five miles or less, 54 per cent of people still drive, and for longer journeys, it was 80 per cent.
Mr Baker said: "The benefits of improving the door-to-door journey will be felt in a number of ways:
- by increasing use of sustainable transport we can help protect the environment by reducing carbon emissions and improving air quality;
- by improving connectivity and interchange we can help to support economic growth as we better link our businesses and markets and ensure public transport journeys are fast and reliable;
- by providing a well-connected and accessible transport system that is safe and secure we can help improve public health, quality of life and wider well-being; and
- by integrating the door-to-door journey as a whole we are delivering a good deal for the traveller by helping to make travel more reliable and affordable.
"The door to door strategy sets out our vision for using new information technologies, improving ticketing choices, increasing choice and enhancing interchange, all of which will make the door-to-door journey more seamless. We will be working with transport providers, local authorities and representative organisations to challenge them further and help to make our vision a reality."
Malcolm Shepherd, Chief Executive of Sustrans said: "As fuel prices rise and we struggle to find opportunities to live healthy lives, it's important to ensure it is easier to make journeys by bike, foot or public transport. This strategy reflects the increasing recognition within government that we must invest in creating a high-quality cycling and walking environment and ensure public transport is accessible to all."
One perennial problem for many cyclists is taking bikes on trains, with peak services often banning bikes altogether, or limiting them to one or two per train.
Michael Roberts, Chief Executive for the Association of Train Operating Companies said: "We support the goal of promoting greener and more sustainable forms of transport. Train companies are determined to help more people find alternative ways of getting to their local stations and have already brought about a range of improvements for passengers that want to go by bike or combine local bus and rail travel."
The one elephantine omission from this is the use of the word inclusive. With the number of young people who hold driving licences falling dramatically, along with the ability of those with such licences to be able to afford to use a car, added to the ageing population being more effectively policed to withdraw their licences, when they are no longer safe behind the wheel we might well see a shrinking use of private cars, with indications such as Peak Car and falling levels of car ownership in cities making car owners a minority in many parts of the UK already - here in Central Glasgow less the 35% of households own a car, and in some areas it is below 10%, and a recognition that transport spending is ludicrously skewed to provide roads, which if they were rail lines would have been closed years ago through lack of traffic.
As one who hopes never again to own a car (I last owned one full time in 1976) I see some well intended puff but a lack of understanding from those who want to take the concept forwards.
47 years of breaking bikes and still they offer me a 10 year frame warranty!

Yet another poorly thought out, underfunded, greenwash attempt.
We have a society where the car is king, and a population with a regal sense of entitlement when it comes to driving. Until driving is made more awkward, more expensive, more trouble than the alternatives, nothing will change.

I count a massive 2 paragraphs specifically about cycling in the Govt's new 44 page "Door to Door" sustainable transport strategy. Not good! "Door to Door" sustainable transport strategy is no such thing. It's a public transport integration document
Govt's "door to door" has no real ideas. What's needed is the balls to make cars the inconvenient option for local journeys at least

Ok, might be being a bit smug, but yes, my children were never driven to school, I might have looked a bit of an idiot going back home on a tandem on my own though
We walked them to school when we lived close enough, one of the reasons for living where we do was easy access to shops so again, we walk or cycle with panniers or a trailer.
It's all about choice, if you choose to live miles from work, shops, schools, you will always have the problem of sustainable transportation, but if we don't demand alternatives, they won't be offered, simply because there is no demand.
The way we live needs to change, and sometimes just because it's a bit harder is no reason not to do it.

It would be nice if these words were a bit more radical than just 'safe and secure' public transport system, it won't tackle a train full of drunk men shouting sexist chants at women on a Saturday afternoon, or make the bus feel safer or do anything at all.
You have to challenge all of the threatening behaviour encountered on the roads, on the busses, on the trains and in the streets before you'll find many people accepting the alternatives to private motor transport as a viable option.

Not quite, Tesco deliver and the kids ride their own bikes to school, whatever the weather. Not that I was ranting about cars anyway, I just don't think it's always the best choice.

haven't read the doc yet but no policy will work until local politicians have the vision and the ability to sell to voters that taking road space away from vehicles and reducing speed limits is a way forward that will give a better quality of life for everyone.
ps in the uk i walked to school with kids whatever the weather - found it amusing that got offered lifts places as other parents assumed didn't own a car (or 2)
now in Aus and oldest gest tram to school youngest cycles and cycle path network means that i can get to good quality shops without being cut up by 60mph traffic
- nit perfect but possible - yes still own a car but often don't use

This is what Hands Across the Sand looked like today over at less-foggy-than-expected Ocean Beach way out there in western San Francisco.

We'll just have to wait to see the photos from the air. (Did they use a petroleum-burning twirlypopper to take the photo, or maybe they used a kite? We'll have to wait and see…)
[UPDATE: They used a twirlypopper, a Robinson actually, which is kind of a helicopter. A Republican one, ironically, from the Frank D. Robinson Helicopter company. Let's see here, Robinson's delivered something like 900 choppers so far and they've only had 262+(!) fatal accidents, per the Wiki. Wow. Also, it would be nice if this R44 model had inflatable floats for over-water operations, but oh well. A kite, and a DSLR (plus a surfboard, if necessary) also could have worked, by the way. I know it would have been less exciting…]

Written Answers. - School Placement.
Thursday, 8 March 2001
Dáil Eireann Debate
149. Mr. O'Shea asked the Minister for Education and Science the proposals he has to deal in an equitable way with students at second level who have been expelled from school while still of compulsory school going age and who receive no private tuition provided by the State, while those similarly expelled whose cases are pursued through the courts can receive such tuition; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7252/01]
Minister for Education and Science (Dr. Woods): Enrolment in second level schools is the responsibility of the managerial authority of individual schools and my Department does not interfere in decisions made by schools in such matters. My Department's main responsibility is to ensure that schools in an area can, between them, cater for all pupils seeking second level places. This may result, however, in some pupils not obtaining a place in the school of their first choice.
The national educational psychological service – NEPS – is available to all post-primary schools recognised by my Department. The NEPS can advise on the management of any difficulties that pupils might experience and which may present problems in a school setting. Where appropriate it can also advise on any educational supports which might be required to ensure that a pupil's time in school is as productive and positive as possible.
My Department gives assistance to parents where children are excluded from recognised post-primary schools. It endeavours, through a process of consultation with the schools and through the inspectorate, to secure a suitable school placement. My Department has no authority to compel a post-primary school to admit a pupil. It is often necessary to seek a placement in another school. Placement on a Youthreach programme may be an option in difficult cases.
Recognising the benefits of mainstream education from both an educational and personal development/socialisation perspective, the policy of my Department is to place all such pupils in a mainstream school, regardless of whether they are seeking educational provision through the courts or their cases otherwise come to the attention of my Department.
[893] Many such pupils need additional educational supports, which are identified and put in place in the particular mainstream school. These may encompass the allocation of additional teaching hours to a school to allow the pupil to receive some individual tuition in school, assistance with individual subjects and homework and additional input from the school guidance counsellor.
Reintegration to school, or commencement in a new school, may involve short days initially, with one to one tuition leading to gradual absorption into full classes, along with continuing one to one tuition. This can allow a pupil to begin to experience some educational success while also allowing school personnel to see this success. This can be a useful step towards successful reintegration.
In certain cases, if the pupil's behaviour presents acute management problems in class, a classroom assistant may be provided to assist with behavioural difficulties the pupil may have on a day to day basis in class.
Specialist in-service training can be provided to some teachers in the school, generally to the particular teacher who would be recognised as the key teacher involved in aiding the pupil's full integration into school life. This teacher would have a critical role to play in assisting the full integration of the pupil into normal school life through liaison with the pupil, parents and other teachers.
Each situation, whether pursued through the courts or otherwise, is approached on a case by case basis from the perspective of seeking to put in place the necessary supports to facilitate a suitable school placement for the individual child.

Return on capital
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (April 2007)
Return on capital (ROC) is a ratio used in finance, valuation, and accounting. The ratio is estimated by dividing the after-tax operating income (NOPAT) by the book value of invested capital. It is a useful measure for comparing the relative profitability of companies after taking into account the amount of capital used.[1]
When the return on capital is greater than the cost of capital (usually measured as the weighted average cost of capital), the company is creating value; when it is less than the cost of capital, value is destroyed.[1]
This differs from ROIC. Return on invested capital (ROIC) is a financial measure that quantifies how well a company generates cash flow relative to the capital it has invested in its business. It is defined as net operating profit less adjusted taxes divided by invested capital and is usually expressed as a percentage. In this calculation, capital invested includes all monetary capital invested: long-term debt, common and preferred shares.
ROIC formula[edit]
Note that the numerator in the ROIC fraction does not subtract interest expense, because the return is calculated for total capital, and not only equity capital.[1]

Episode: "Nasa Moon Landing." I try to get into fist fights with conspiracy theorists as often as possible. They're usually fat guys or 15 year olds with studded leather jackets so I win pretty easily. But, the Mytbusters are taking a more tactful approach, opting to prove the cellar dwellers wrong with nerdy scientific experiments.
The photos:
There are plenty of conspiracy theories about the still photo taken on the moon and most of them are pretty boring. First Jamie and Adam proved that the astronaut could, in fact, be properly exposed even if he was standing in the shadow of the lander. It seems like that one shouldn't even be an issue. If I ever go to the moon to take pictures, I'll probably consider bringing a bucking flash. The other photo myth they tested was the lining up of the shadows. It was boring; they busted it.
The videos:
The video tests got a little more interesting. First they had Adam jump around like a jackass in the spacesuit he brought from home (sigh) trying to recreate the look of the footage from the moon. The theory being tested was that they simply slowed down the footage to make it look like the astronauts were prancing around on the moon. Ultimately, it was painfully obvious that none of the faking techniques were even close.
The footprint:
The lesse Mythbusters headed off to NASA HQ to play with some enormous vacuum chambers. First they tested the myth that, since there is no moisture on the moon, they wouldn't be able to leave a footprint, which is completely idiotic. Of course, it worked. They explained that it has something to do with the shape of the sand particles on the moon. Honestly, by that point I had started thinking about videos of cats moshing.
The waving flag:
According to some whack job, the flag blows in the breeze in the moon landing video, when in reality it's just waving around because the astronaut is moving it. We already knew it and they confirmed it by testing it in a vacuum.
The laser test:
In case there was any doubt left over that we didn't go up to the moon, we left some shit there we can shoot lasers at and see. They did just that by going to an observatory and pointing an enormous laser. The result was pretty much just the guys looking at a graph, which was boring, but it does feel good to have these conspiracy jerks have to eat their oh-so-stupid words.
I think it's fair to say that this was one of the nerdiest episodes yet. It was still pretty amusing, but I still prefer the ones where they blow stuff up. This is America, dammit.

Dr. Fradet is a fantastic doctor and surgeon. He did a beautiful job and I can barely see my scar, which was a big concern for me. Recovery time was much quicker than I have had in the past with other surgeons (same surgery). He is very caring and funny- great bedside manner.

We are truely blessed to have people with these skills available to us. I felt like I was in the best possible hands. To Dr. Fradet and staff, all you can say is a heart felt thank you.

GREENWICH – During an hour-long forum about agriculture at a high school auditorium in this Washington County town, the two candidates on the stage only managed to really disagree about issues that had the least to do with farming.
All politics, after all, is local, especially when it comes to farming in the north country. Republican Matthew A. Doheny and U.S. Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, agreed often on federal matters that affect farmers, while parting ways on the estate tax and on Social Security.
Its great to see one of the most competitive races in the country focus on agriculture, said Julie C. Suarez, lobbyist for the New York Farm Bureau.
On Social Security, Mr. Doheny said that he is in favor of means testing and raising the retirement age by two years for future retirees who are around his age. Mr. Doheny is 42. People who were born in 1960 or later will receive full Social Security benefits at age 67.
Means testing is a way of determining whether a recipient has an income high enough so that they dont need government help, or as much government help.
Mr. Doheny said that right now, private accounts are off the table, but declined to say whether he philosophically agrees or disagrees with them.
Maybe in 50 years, as a retired congressman, the issue could come up, Mr. Doheny said.
Mr. Owens, on the other hand, is against raising the Social Security retirement age and said that the program already does means test, and hes against making means testing more strict.
And on the estate tax, Mr. Doheny got a round of applause from the audience – some of whom waved Doheny signs outside before the event – when he said he would eliminate the estate tax. Any estate more than $5 million is taxed 30 percent. But those limits are set to expire soon, so that estates of $1 million or more are taxed at 55 percent. Its an important issue to farmers, whose assets land, buildings and equipment are seldom liquid.
Mr. Owens, on the other hand, wants the federal government to maintain the estate tax at its current levels.
His law firm specialized in estate planning, so if its set up the right way, the exemption can be raised to $10 million, Mr. Owens said.
Mr. Doheny chided him for taking that position.
We might have to go see Mr. Owens firm to make it $10 million, Mr. Doheny said.
First, on behalf of my firm, thank you for the plug, Mr. Owens said in response.
The two men also differed slightly on subsidies. Both men agreed that ethanol subsidies should be eliminated, but Mr. Owens said he believes that subsidies for sectors like wind should be extended, while Mr. Doheny does not. Mr. Doheny likened the programs to throwing good money after bad.
Mr. Owens said that the most important issue facing farmers was passage of the farm bill. The current law expires at the end of September. The Senate has passed its version, and the House Agriculture Committee, with the support of Mr. Owens, also passed its own version.
But House Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, has so far refused to bring the bill up for a House vote. Agriculture advocates say that if the bill expires, the farm law will revert back to the programs that were in place during the 1940s.
Both men said that that was unacceptable, and Mr. Doheny later said that Mr. Boehner knows where he stands on the matter.
Mr. Owens blames partisan politics for holding up the farm bill. In his race for re-election, he frequently touts his relationship with fellow New York Republicans in the House of Representatives. He told the crowd at the Greenwich Central High School auditorium that he agreed with U.S. Reps. Chris Gibson, R-Kinderhook, and Peter Welch, D-Vt., to vote together as much as possible on amendments to the farm legislation.
Mr. Welchs office did not respond to comment last week, and while Mr. Gibsons office declined to make him available for an interview, he did confirm in an email that he worked closely with Mr. Owens and Mr. Welch.
Agriculture politics are largely regional, not partisan and Representatives in the Northeast need to stick together to ensure our family farms survive and flourish, Mr. Gibson said. Bill, Peter and I worked closely together to coordinate diary policy that provides security while facilitating growth and profitability for our farmers.
Mr. Doheny said that he, too, would work with members of the other party.
When youre out in the business world, getting 100 percent of what you want doesnt work, he said. You need to compromise.
Mr. Owens and Mr. Doheny both laid claim to the mantle of the person who best understands the needs of farmers and businesses. Mr. Doheny helped turn around troubled companies for financial firms in during a decade-long career in New York City, he noted. He also owns North Country Capital LLC in Watertown. Mr. Owens pointed out that was on the board of NBT Bank and as an attorney, he represented farms in the Clinton County area.
Said Mr. Owens: I have a lot of experience with the things that happen on Main Street.
Said Mr. Doheny: We need to put ideas into action to kick-start the economy. Were going in the wrong direction, and we need a change.

Nick and Vanessa Lachey: It's a Boy!
Baby boy Lachey!
Vanessa Lachey and her husband Nick Lachey revealed Wednesday that their first child together will be a baby boy.
PHOTOS: Nick and Vanessa's most romantic moments
"Nick and I are incredibly excited to share the news that we are expecting a baby boy," the 31-year-old mom-to-be wrote on her website. "We can't wait to meet him soon!"
Back in March, Vanessa revealed to a fan on Twitter that she was hoping to have a boy. "I'm excited either way! But I always wanted a boy first," she wrote. " Just a healthy baby."
PHOTOS: Vanessa and Nick's hot bodies
The Wipeout hostess and her 38-year-old husband, whom she married in July 2011, just recently celebrated their pregnancy by going on a babymoon at the end of May to Jade Mountain in St. Lucia.

Vanessa posted a gorgeous photo Tuesday that Nick took on the trip of her pregnant bikini body. She asked her pregnant Twitter followers to share their baby bump photos too and said, "Let's embrace our changing bodies!"
The couple told Us Weekly in April that they had agreed on a name if they were having a girl, but were having trouble settling on a boy name. Vanessa joked, "We've been yelling them around the house to see how they sound and we call them to come to us."

Ras Al Khaimah is the northernmost of the UAE's seven emirates and in terms of population the fourth largest in the UAE. Blessed with abundant natural beauty as well as resources, the emirate is on one of the world's most important maritime trade routes. Its location, together with the stunning landscape and pristine beaches, has made Ras Al Khaimah an attractive tourist destination.
The city of Ras Al Khaimah is divided into two parts by a water gill named 'Khour Ras Al Khaimah.' The western part is known as the Old Ras Al Khaimah and the eastern part as Al Nakheel. The two parts are connected by a large road bridge.
Ras Al Khaimah has contributed significantly to the formation of the United Arab Emirates. The emirate has witnessed massive developments in recent years and is now a modern township with international schools, hospitals and amenities. However, its distinctive local culture sets it apart among other cities in the UAE.
Recently, Ras Al Khaimah began an ambitious phase of development including investments in infrastructure improvement, tourism, shopping, and efforts to attract industrial and commercial enterprises through dedicated investment zones.

LA hockey plays Friday at Taos
The Los Alamos Hilltopper hockey season will have its first game of the 2012-13 season Friday.
Los Alamos will face the Santa Fe Blue Jackets in New Mexico Interscholastic Ice Hockey League play at 7 p.m.
That game was scheduled to be played in Los Alamos, but due to poor ice conditions at the county's ice rink, it will be played at the Taos Youth and Family Center.
The Hilltoppers will play two games this weekend. They will be on the road at Rio Rancho for a 2:15 p.m. Saturday contest.
Sipapu set to open Saturday
Sipapu Ski Resort announced that it will open for the season Saturday.
Sipapu will be the first ski area in New Mexico to open for the 2012-13 ski season. As of this morning, it was reporting only a 5-inch base but will be making snow until Saturday.
Lift tickets for the weekend are on sale for $20 or less, Ski New Mexico reported. More information about the opening can be found at sipapunm.com.
Locally, Pajarito Mountain hasn't yet announced an opening day for the ski season.
No other ski areas have made announcements for opening dates, either.

signs of fall
Yesterday, it was hard not to think "fall" on the farm. We spent the morning pulling nearly 600 pounds of sweet potatoes out of the ground and the afternoon sowing the final seeds of the season.
Like last year's crop, the sweet potatoes harvested came in a wide array of shapes and sizes. Here, Nate and Busy, one of our Buttercup hens, get to work at the beginning of the row:
The chickens actually like to follow us as we clear the potato rows and do their own form of clean-up -- dining on the worms and grubs that live beneath the soil's surface.
Below, a peek at our haul by the end of the harvest:
Members can expect to begin seeing these sweet potatoes in shares about 10 days from now. Similar to crops like garlic and storage onions, sweet potatoes require some curing before making their way to your kitchens.
Speaking of upcoming share items... Under the covers in the image below are: Greens (broccoli rabe, swiss chard, lettuce mix, arugula, tatsoi, and spinach), bok choi, radishes, turnips, beets, carrots, fennel, and dill. Also coming soon (not under these covers): Broccoli, cabbage, more kale, brussel sprouts, and rutabagas! So, while shares in the next week or two may be a little leaner as we transition from summer and its especially tough weather into fall, there are definitely more vegetables to come. Remember: The season isn't over yet. We still have eight more weeks!
Happy fall, everyone. Until next time, all our best.

Championship Battle
Peter Whittingham believes CardiffŌĆÖs defeat at Middlesbrough on Saturday was only ŌĆ£a minor setbackŌĆØ and the Bluebirds are 7/10 to beat Derby tonight.
Boro beat the npower Championship leaders 2-1 at the weekend, so the Welsh side have now lost two of their last three games and their lead over Hull has been cut to five points.
But Derby are without a win in six games and have won just three matches on their travels this season, so Whittingham insists only a win victory do against his former club.
He told walesonline.co.uk: ŌĆ£This is our first away defeat since November and itŌĆÖs about bouncing back.
ŌĆ£We have done that before and need to do it again against Derby. ThatŌĆÖs the time to put a few wrongs right.
ŌĆ£ThereŌĆÖs 12 games to go and we are confident (about winning promotion). We are a good team and we believe this will be a minor setback. But wins are essential now. That can open gaps, but we have to win (against Derby).ŌĆØ
Second-placed Hull face a difficult trip to Crystal Palace and the Tigers are 2/1 to win at Selhurst Park, with the Eagles 6/4 for the home win.
Third-placed Watford are 8/11 to record another home win against Sheffield Wednesday, while Leicester are 4/6 to beat Leeds at the King Power Stadium.
Bottom-of-the-table Bristol City have won their last four home games, but they face a difficult clash with in-form Brighton at Ashton Gate tonight.
The Robins are 9/4 to beat Gus PoyetŌĆÖs promotion-hopefuls, with the Seagulls priced at 13/10 for the away win.

Tribal Council is intimately involved with a rapidly approaching event called Gratifly Music and Arts Festival. For those of us remaining rather rooted this season, it's worked out quite conveniently that this event will happen to host- literally- almost all of our favorite musical acts. In addition to this, the festival is bringing in knowledge- & skill-sharing as focal points. In the vein of the rising transformational festival movement, Gratifly is offering a full-spectrum experience in every sense of the word. Most notably is the fact that while there are 4 music stages, there are 6 – that's right, SIX- workshop stages. These stages will host over 50 presenters and 80+ offerings.
This is a model that is still quite fresh within the festival culture of the Southeast, and we are so excited to be a part of offering it, and to make it to as many of these classes as humanly possible! Each day we will have a multitude of yoga asana practices available for your re-energizing needs; if you're feeling like you need something a bit more external to regain restoration, there will be a healing sanctuary available to help you recharge. Workshops will cover unique topics such as intuitive floetry, soul sweat, shamanic journeying, art & entertainment as social action – and that's just the tip of the crystal.
We invite you to hop over now to the Gratifly site and spend some time seeing what these classes are all about, and maybe even creating your own calendar so you can be sure to catch them all.
So you know what this means… Grab your friends, your notebooks, and be sure to arrive to the festival on time for maximum downloads!

SKS Bottle Cage Adapter £4.99
Inexpensive solution to carrying additional bottles on bikes without resorting to frame alteration
Weight 78g Contact www.chickencyclekit.com, www.madison.co.uk, www.raleigh.co.uk
Previous Review
Next Review
The SKS bottle cage adapter is perfect if you have a fixie without bottle cages. I think this one will prove a permanent feature on my 1950s Holdsworth which has just had successful bottom bracket surgery and a respray.
There's nothing particularly exotic about its lightweight ABS plastic construction other than to say it's up to SKS's usual standards and shouldn't weather badly. Pressing the orange SKS emblem while rotating the cage allows it to be angled precisely, depending on the adapters' position and rider preference. Fitting is a no-brainer - simply wrap the elasticated webbing around your chosen tubing-whether this be frame, seatpost or stem.
Ours flopped open with disturbing ease on the first few attempts but nipping the webbed strapping in by a matter of millimetres made all the difference. Once you have the correct alignment, whip it off and attach your chosen bottle cage.
Having experimented with various frame and component diameters, it appears to fit most between 25.4 and 31.8mm without vibrating loose, thanks in part to the rubberised shim, although I'll confess to borderline-obsessive checking during our first few outings. I tried a few different bottles and all held up pretty well.
Inexpensive solution to carrying additional bottles on bikes without resorting to frame alteration.

Peach-Tree Pie. ~ Christine McConnell
Peach-Tree Pie.
Few things put me quite at ease like baking a pie. The planning, prep and process of putting one of these universally-loved treats together is a soothing task. With Spring on the way, I've been experimenting with several fruit varieties…and think I've mastered a southern classic: peach pie.
The scent of one of these fresh out of the oven instantly reminds us why peaches have been used in pies for centuries.
Today, with so many options and alternatives in baking ingredients you can easily customize your own recipe to accommodate anyone with allergies or a special diet. With a few added twists and some extra time spent decorating, the recipe below is sure to be a crowd pleaser at your next picnic or party.
Crust Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
5 tablespoons white sugar
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 tablespoon vanilla
16 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup Ice Water
Filling Ingredients:
10 peaches
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup Dark brown sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons corn starch
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter
Glaze ingredients:
1 egg
2 tablespoons Whole milk
2 tablespoons honey
In a large bowl thoroughly mix flour, salt, cinnamon and sugar. Mix in vanilla and shortening. Slowly mix in butter cut in 1/2 inch cubes, then add water. Quickly form into dough, wrap in cellophane and place in fridge.
Pre-heat oven to 425
Spread a thin layer of butter all over the inside of your pie dish. Then lightly flour and tap sides to dispose of any excess flour. Take out dough and cut out 1/3 to roll out base crust and lay in pie dish. In a small bowl mix 1 egg, milk and honey for your glaze. Baste the base of your pie crust (this seals the crust when baking and prevents a soggy crust)
Peel and cut peaches into 1/2 inch slices (leaving a little rind here and there for added color and texture). Pour juiced lemon over freshly sliced peaches. in a separate bowl mix flour, sugar, brown sugar, corn starch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Once mixed, powder over sliced peaches and toss until coated.
Then pour peach mixture into the base. Once filling is settled, dab with several tidbits of butter. With remaining dough, create whatever decorative surface you like (there will be plenty to work with).
Once pie is oven ready; delicately baste the top of the pie with your glaze.
Place in oven (middle rack) for 8 minutes. Then reduce heat to 350 and cover top of pie with aluminum foil, bake for 35 min then remove foil and bake 15 more minutes (If sides are darkening too quickly, cut strips of foil and wrap around the edges)
Let cool 40 minutes. Serve.
PS: I made the dress in the photo ( 😛 )

What a beautiful pie!
I also like to bake pies, but I have never made one so beautiful!
This girl is amazing!
That top crust is too beautiful to eat! Pure art!
But, I'd substitute honey for white sugar before I'd eat it anyway!
That is the most beautiful pie I have ever seen in my entire life and I love your dress too!
I heart her. AND her Wonder Woman costume. The perfect woman….?
I adore this pie! Not only does it look amazing, but I'm sure it tastes that way too! Thanks for sharing this! Momndaughtersavings. I'm pinning this!
