Today I have a craving for my mum's arepas however she is away on holiday so I have found a recipe which sounds similar.
Arepas are a traditional dish from Colombia and Venezuela most commonly eaten for breakfast or as a lunch time snack.
1. Preheat the oven to 200C, 400F, Gas Mark 6.
2. Place the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl and gradually add the warm water, mixing to form a stiff dough. Leave to stand for 5 minutes.
3. Knead the dough for a couple of minutes then form into 8 balls. Flatten with the palm of your hand so they measure about 7.5cm/3-inches in diameter and are about 18mm/¾-inch thick.
4. Heat a little oil in a large frying pan, add the arepas and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until crisp and golden, turning 3 or four times.
5. Remove them from the pan and drain on kitchen paper then transfer to a baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 15 minutes.
6. To serve – serve the arepas warm you can add butter or chesse, and my favourite is avocado mixed with tomatoes and onions delicioso
If you have a go let me know how it goes...
As you know here at L'atelier des Chefs we have a boutique selling all the cooking equipment that we use, as well as some of the ingredients. In the last couple of days we have had numerous amounts of men franticly looking for gift ideas for their loved ones. So if you are stuck for ideas here are a couple of suggestions that may help:

Valentine's Day is a bit like marmite in the sense that people either love it or hate it!
Valentine's Day is a holiday celebrated on 14th February by many people throughout the world. In the West, it is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other. The holiday is named after two among the numerous Early Christian martyrs named Valentine.
It is a unique occasion to make a nice dinner and cook something tasty and elaborate for your beloved. However I also think it is a great excuse to get together with friends and laugh about relationships whether your in one or not, so whether its a romantic meal for two or some homemade brownies with a pizza enjoy it with a nice cocktail...
Strawberry Daiquiri
2 oz light rum, 1 oz lime juice, 1/2 oz triple sec, 1/2 tsp superfine sugar, 1 cup ice, 5 strawberries.
Garnish: strawberry
Mix all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Pour into a tall glass and garnish with strawberry. If you dont fancy strawberry you can swap it for another fruit such as banana or mango..

Laws, Regulations & Annotations
Business Taxes Law Guide – Revision 2017
Transactions and Use Tax Annotations
800.0000 APPLICATION OF TRANSACTIONS (SALES) TAX AND USE TAX—Regulation 1823
Annotation 800.1150
800.1150 Tax Rate After Tax Credit Program Ends—SB 263. In 1993, SB 263 was enacted to provide for a program of tax credits to effect the refund of certain local taxes (section 7276). Under that program, the legal tax rate in Monterey County remained at 7.25% but, for a period of time, taxpayers there could take a credit of 0.75% against their tax liability for an effective rate of 6.5%. That tax credit program ended March 31, 1996. SB 263 did not provide for a fixed-price contract exemption from the end of the tax credit program. Therefore, even though a sale is pursuant to a contract entered into during the rollback period which meets the definition of a "fixed price contract" under section 6376.1, it is subject to the full legal tax rate of 7.25% if the sale takes place after March 31, 1996. The "rollback" rate of 6.5% would apply, however, if the goods to be sold were specifically identified by the seller and buyer as the goods to be delivered to the buyer, and the buyer had paid for the goods prior to April 1, 1996, even if they were not delivered to the buyer until after March 31. 4/24/97.

Barry and Linda Felis
About Us:
Our mission is to take the gospel of Christ out from the church and into the public arena, proclaiming Christ on coastal piers, city sidewalks, in marketplaces, in parks, on college campuses, and in neighborhoods. Anywhere that people move and gather, is our 'pulpit.'
We can't fulfill the Great Commission all by ourselves, so a key part of our ministry is training others. We hold training sessions for anyone who wants to learn how to share their faith. One of our core values is the key role of the local church in fulfilling the work of God in the world. We seek to enter into partnership with local churches that want help in "jump-starting" their evangelistic ministries. Learning to share their faith in the public arena is a tremendous faith-building experience.

Vision & Mission
The vision for the mission's ministry is found in Acts 1:8; "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." It's our desire to fulfill the great commission as the Lord Jesus commanded us in Mathew 28:19–20 in conjunction with Acts 1:8 as His witnesses in our Jerusalem (Huntington Beach), Judea (Orange County), Samaria (United States/Baja Mexico), and to the end of the earth (Over Seas).
It's our desire to equip and encourage the body as a 'whole' in fulfilling the great commission in our community and beyond. We seek to provide each person with the opportunity to not only discover their role in fulfilling the great commission, but more importantly the privilege of being "sent" as His ambassador in making disciples.

Photo Report: Johnson comeback
By Jeff Zimmerman at Ringside
Former bantamweight champion Paulie Ayala promoted an entertaining night of fights this past Thursday at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas, which is better known for fast cars, not fast knockouts but that might change with the triumphant return of former heavyweight contender Kirk Johnson.
Johnson (37-2, 27 KO's) fought an outclassed (and that's putting it politely) Douglas Robertson (3-24-2) and he did what he was supposed to do, which was end the fight quickly. Johnson stopped Robertson in the first round of a scheduled four-rounder. For Johnson, who had been out of the ring for almost four years, just getting in the ring was an accomplishment.
Johnson knocked Robertson down twice in the opening stanza, with the first knockdown via a left hook that sent the clueless Robertson toppling to the canvas. Robertson got back to his feet before the count of ten but a nice combination moments later put Robertson down a second time. Referee Neal Young had seen enough so he mercifully stepped in to waive the bout over for a TKO at 1:45 of the round.
As far getting back in the ring and shaky off some rust, Johnson said to FightNews: "It felt great to be back in the ring. Yesterday I was scared to death, I wasn't sure if I really wanted to do this, but that's nothing unusual for me. My whole career from amateur to professional, the night before a fight I always question myself but the day of the fight I know I am ready, rough and ready for the fight,so that's nothing new."
FightNews had noted that Johnson had looked at his corner in between the knockdowns and that his trainer, Hall of Famer Curtis Cokes advised him to slow down.
"He never says slow down, he wants me to go after a guy, but in this instance he said 'Slow down, slow down.' It was just a matter of being in the ring again, but we're ok."
"This fight gets me back in the ring and lets me realize, the ring is still the ring," Johnson said of his return. "Being out for four years, doing all the training, it was like man how is it going to feel again. I kind of forgot the feel, but it felt exactly the same as it did before, I am still nervous before the fight. I don't like that word; it's an educational word for scared. I am still scared before a fight. The day before the fight I am scared to death. The day of the fight I am calmer. It felt good, there are a couple of things I know I need to do, and I'll do them. The better the competition you fight, the better you look sometime.
Johnson gave this analogy of his performance: "When I played basketball against guys that didn't know how to play the game I look terrible, when I played against guys that did, I looked great."
Johnson concluded, "When you see the competition get up there, you will see the best of me!"
Johnson enjoyed fighting for Ayala on his first card at the Texas Motor Speedway and has already started discussions on coming back in June on the next "Speedway Fight Night" event.
In the main event, super featherweight clash, Casey Ramos (11-0, 4 KO's) pounded out at an eight-round unanimous decision over the game and tough Angel Rodriguez (4-4-2). All judges scored the fight 80-71. Ramos is promoted by Ayala.
Ramos wasted no time showing Rodriguez why Ayala has high hopes for him as he put Rodriguez down with over hand right in the first round. It looked like Ramos was going to get Rodriguez out of there early, but to his credit, Rodriguez hung tough.
Ramos did take some hard shots himself as shown by a swollen black and blue right eye that was starting to close as the fight wore on.
Although it seemed clear that Ramos was going for the knockout, he was satisfied going the distance.
"When I knocked the guy down, you know what, I tried to stay focused," stated Ramos. "When I went into the fight, if I get the knockout, I get the knockout."
Ramos added, "He had a tough chin and after that first knock down he got more loose and more of a rhythm and got stronger as the fight went on."
Ramos did not seem too concerned over his nearly shut eye.
"It's doing good man, I have a sensitive face. I get bruises and marks all the time, every time I fight; it goes down the next few days. I have been there before, it's all right."
Ramos gave his thoughts on fighting at the Texas Motor Speedway in front of a lively crowd.
"This venue is amazing. Texas Motor Speedway, Paulie Ayala, having my name tied to those names is great," said the enthusiastic young prospect.
Lightweight southpaw Alberto Romero (1-1-1) got his first win of his pro career with an impressive unanimous decision over Fort Worth native, Jose Ortiz (0-1), who was making his pro debut.
Romero almost put Ortiz on the canvas in the second round, only to be saved by the corner post which kept Ortiz from hitting the canvas. Romero kept the pressure on Ortiz throughout the contest throwing multiple combinations to the head and body of Ortiz to keep him off balance.
The last round saw both guys going for the knockout as the battle continued well after the final bell.
All judges scored the bout 40-36 for Romero.
Female featherweights went toe to toe, but Christina Ruiz (5-2 1 KO) outclassed Gerboria Mayfield (2-7) and knocked her out at 43 seconds of second round.
A left hook by Ruiz started the barrage followed by a left, right combo that sent Mayfield down in her own corner. At about the count of seven, she pulled out her mouthpiece and stayed down as the referee waived off the fight.
In a jr welterweight battle, it took Fernando Rodriguez (3-0) every body shot he had in his arsenal to finally slow down the headhunting Forest Curry (2-5-1) and come out with a hard earned unanimous decision. Both fighters came out throwing bombs from the opening bell and it was clear Rodriguez was the stronger fighter, but some slick upper cuts from Curry got the attention of Rodriguez.
In the first round, Rodriguez dropped his opponent with a left hook that put Curry on his back. Curry got up unscathed and landed a hard left hook of his own. Rodriguez began taunting Curry, sticking out his tongue at times and winding up with a right hand ala the "bolo punch" of Sugar Ray Leonard, which could not have pleased his stoic trainer in the corner, Hall of Famer Curtis Cokes.
But the body shots from Rodriguez were approved by Cokes as you could hear the famed trainer yell "Good shot!" after each one. All of the judges scored the bout at 39-36 twice and 38-37.

Happy Birthday — IBM
Wow, IBM, International Business Machines is a whopping 100 today. Here's Moon's mom at one of the originals. She's typing Moon's Show Prep.
What a world we live in now thanks to them. One of my favorite tales I like to regale people with is IBM-related . In the movie, 2001 – A Space Odyssey, the computer HAL takes on human characteristics eventually jeopardizing the entire space mission with his antics. Well, if you take each letter in H A L and use the letter that follows it in the english alphabet it spells I B M. Cool, huh?

Indian Stocks Rise; Hindustan Unilever Falls on DowngradeRajhkumar K Shaaw
Indian stocks rose, led by telecom companies and banks, after the finance minister pledged to cut the fiscal deficit and boost economic growth.
The BSE India Sensitive Index, or Sensex, added 0.2 percent to 20,026.61 at the close. Bharti Airtel Ltd., India's largest cell-phone operator, paced gains among its peers after raising call rates. ICICI Bank Ltd., the nation's second-biggest lender, climbed 0.9 percent, rebounding from an earlier drop. ITC Ltd., the largest cigarette company, climbed to a one-month high, the biggest boost to the Sensex.
Finance Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram told investors in Singapore today the nation's budget gap won't breach his target of 5.3 percent of gross domestic product this fiscal year. The Sensex is up 3.1 percent this year, after jumping 26 percent in 2012, as government measures to lift growth prompted foreigners to plow a net $2.9 billion into local shares, a record for the period, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"The pace of reforms has been a real positive surprise," K. Ramanathan, chief investment officer at ING Investment Management, told Bloomberg TV India today. "We are positive on the markets but realize that valuations are no longer cheap. Market movement will be in line with earnings growth."
Only two out of 11, or 18 percent, of Sensex firms that have reported December-quarter earnings have missed forecasts, compared with 40 percent in the previous two quarters, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The gauge is valued at 15.8 times estimated earnings, the highest since February 2012. Brazil's Bovespa Index trades at 11.7 times estimated profit, Russia's Micex Index at 5.7 times and China's Shanghai Composite Index at 10 times, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Telecom Rally
Bharti Airtel soared 4.5 percent to 367.35 rupees, the highest close since Feb. 7. The company said it raised call rates to pass on rising costs. Rival Reliance Communications Ltd. added 0.5 percent to 88.05 rupees, while Idea Cellular Ltd. increased 0.6 percent to 118.5 rupees. Tata Teleservices Maharashtra Ltd. jumped 3.7 percent to 12.75 rupees.
ICICI Bank increased 0.9 percent to 1,181 rupees. Housing Development Finance Corp., the top mortgage lender, gained 0.9 percent to 820.85 rupees and HDFC Bank Ltd. added 0.4 percent to 656.6 rupees. ITC increased 1.3 percent to 292.75 rupees, extending last year's 42 percent rally.
Chidambaram, 67, said fiscal prudence will be a key theme in next month's federal budget and pledged to deepen the economic-policy overhaul by implementing a goods and services levy to boost commerce and widen the tax base. He is on a tour of Asia and Europe to woo investors.
Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings warned last year that they may strip India of its investment-grade credit rating on risks including fiscal and trade shortfalls.
Royalty Payment
Hindustan Unilever Ltd. tumbled 4.3 percent, the steepest decline since Jan. 25, 2011, to 460.05 rupees. India's biggest home-products maker was downgraded by brokerages after it said yesterday royalty payments to its parent will rise, and posted profit that missed estimates. CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets cut its recommendation to sell from outperform. Credit Suisse Group AG, Nomura Holdings Inc. and Morgan Stanley lowered their ratings .
The S&P CNX Nifty Index on the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. added 0.1 percent to 6,054.30. The India VIX index, which measures the cost of protection against losses in the Nifty, fell 1.6 percent to 13.67. The BSE Mid-Cap Index tumbled 0.9 percent.

Donal,I am pleased to inform you that the Conference of the Franciscan Family, during its meeting of the 18th December 2005, examined "The Damietta Initiative" project and felt it was fully in keeping with the spirit of dialogue proper to the Franciscan charism.The Conference, therefore, willingly grants its patronage to the project and hopes that this can be developed and spread the message of peace and reconciliation throughout the African continent, thus encouraging the encounter with the acceptance of the other, especially in those contexts in which religious, ethnic, nationalist and social tensions are a constant threat to the peaceful co-existence of men and women.Fraternally,Br.

Jul 11, 2012 - By Martin Reed, Staff WriterBenefiting from a higher assessed valuation and $1.3 million in federal funding, Fremont County Commissioners on Tuesday approved their new budget with spending at about the previous year's level.
Commissioners approved a general fund spending plan worth about $23.5 million covering day-to-day operations including the Sheriff's Office, transportation and road department, and various other county government agencies.
Including about $10 million in cash reserve account and $950,000 in the transportation department's inventory, the total general fund is worth about $34.4 million.
The total county government budget that includes fund balances and revenues as well as the full 12 mills assessed for property taxes is worth roughly $39.5 million. The amount covers the library, fair, museum and recreation departments.
PILT money approved
Commissioners this week heard the federal government's payment in lieu of taxes, known as PILT, would contribute $1.3 million this year to their coffers.
Additionally, Fremont County Assessor Tara Berg said the overall assessed valuation jumped to $1.016 billion from the previous amount of $990 million, adding revenue derived from property taxes.
"The oil sales were up; that's what helped it," Berg said about the increase.
This year's approval from commissioners came with warnings about difficult times projected in the following year or two due to questions about PILT funding and an expected drop in assessed valuation with lower natural gas prices.
Concerning PILT funding, commission vice chairman Pat Hickerson said it "seems quite clear it's going to be very difficult for governments to get it."
County Treasurer Scott Harnsberger remained optimistic about the federal funding after a conference call with state and federal officials recently.
"I don't know that we're going to be down on PILT next year," Harnsberger said, noting decreases in other federal funding sources likely ensuring the revenue stream.
The commission's proposed budget included an assumption of $1 million in PILT funding that remained questionable at the 11th hour, drawing criticism from some on the board.
"That's not a good way to do budgets," commissioner Travis Becker said.
Becker said he prefers in future budgets "not accounting for it as operational costs." He proposed using the money for infrastructure or other capital projects "because of the uncertainty with it."
5 percent target
Commissioners earlier this year in the budget planning process asked their department managers to propose a 5 percent decrease in their spending, but the requested cut did not make it into the final plan with the anticipation of PILT.
Becker said the 5 percent decrease "next year more than likely will not be an exercise. It will be a reality."
"It's a pretty good exercise" in efficiency and evaluation of spending, Hickerson said. "That's part of our job, to make sure our county government runs that way."
Harnsberger warned the effect of cutting 5 percent will be a decrease in services to citizens. Commissioners can tell department leaders not to cut services, "and that's just not going to happen," he said.
"That's true, but it'd be up to each elected official," Becker said. "If they feel it's in their interest to cut a service, then that's their priority."
'800-pound gorillas'
Commissioners indicated a desire to continue budget talks with department heads in preparation for next year's spending plan.
"There's a lot of 800-pound gorillas out there that are eating our lunch," Becker said about spending growth in areas including the employee health insurance plan.
Hickerson expressed dismay about the health insurance plan. "I'm a little disappointed where we ended up this year because I don't think we made any progress making it fairer to the employees" with the county continuing to pay 90 percent of the costs, he said.
"We provide a large portion of insurance for the whole family," Hickerson said, noting some companies do not provide health insurance for their employees. "It's really a budget buster."
Commissioners decided to ease proposed cuts to some social services groups and the Riverton Regional Airport. After hearing concerns from Riverton public services director and airport manager Bill Urbigkit about a proposed 50 percent cut, commissioners decided to provide 95 percent of the requested amount.
Commissioners cut spending on most social services programs by 5 percent, but they decided to commit the fully requested amounts for programs asking for $10,000 or less.
Commission Dennis Christensen made the suggestion, noting the 5 percent cut for those nine budgets that include some senior citizen centers would save the county less than $2,500.
Commissioner Keja Whiteman did not attend due to an injury, while board chairman Doug Thompson was absent because of a commitment with another government meeting.

Tree trunk damage
I have a couple of plum trees that were planted about 2 years ago that I noticed have some trunk damage after this winter. We had a long winter in Reno, NV this year.
I initially thought it might be bug damage, maybe rabbit or something too, or just damage from the cold weather?
Here is a couple pictures of the trunks. The trees did ok this spring, flowered a bit less than i would have expected, but now have approriate leaves.
Is there anything I should do to the trunks to help repair them? Prevent it from happening again?
I am absolutely not an arborist, but it looks like that damage is all close to the ground - where a small animal could have caused it. Is it also up higher on the trunk?
A lot of people put a piece of corrugated plastic pipe around the bottom of the tree to protect it:
(Image found on google)
Grew up in orchard country and I think, given your climate, you got some bark vulnerability from the weather and something chewing away at what was exposed.
I would think about protecting that trunk as shown but might also consider a spray to keep insects out until there is some healing. You might call the University of Nevada ag extension, if anybody answers the phone, for recommendations.
Years ago when I practiced landscape design the battle about whether to seal open wounds and pruning cuts was starting. I do not know how that has ended up where you are but you might consider some tree tar on a wound like that? Do you have a real nursery near you can ask if no helpline is availed by the University or State?
Good news? Plums are usually very sturdy. I had a purple barked flowering one in the front yard of my home in Northern California. Weather and creatures would try to get it but it was tough.
Looks like buck rutting -- only solution is venison.:gunsmilie:
1 Attachment(s)
I'm with LHO. Deer rutting.
If it was chewed by small critter, this picture could not be explained.
Here is a photo of a poor maple tree that gets revisited every year. We have tried the corrugated drain pipe. Look what he did three nights ago (this was not the perforated type). You should have heard all the terrible racket.
You should try to trim off the loose bark and clean up the edges with a clean knife to deny bugs and such any place to hide. Remove as little intact bark as you can. There are trunk protectors made from fine mesh wire that would let air get at the wound which will help the tree harden off the damage.
It is a serious wound but plums are pretty tough. Make sure it gets enough water and spray for leaf pests if necessary. The tree will be stressed enough recovering from the wound, you want to keep all the other stressors in check.
Isn't there a brush on tar-like substance you can get to help seal it up?
If the tree can heal it will.
very ture, the sealer is an old wives tale
they are right you should do the same cover the damaged area by pipe or some thing and is still you tree looks a bit ill or getting week then you should any Landscaping service company.
Do you realize you are digging up posts that are YEARS old?:whistling2:
Def the right thing to do. Anything to cover the bottom and protect it from small animals. Also a piece of chain link fence rapped around it will keep it safe too.

Baton Rouge, LA based Associated Grocers Inc. traces its roots to 1950 when it offered independent groceries the retail services they needed. It operated in Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, Guam and Alaska. The company is a retailer's cooperative distributing merchandise and groceries to about 300 members. The company gives retailers the services, products and tools they need to ensure that their stores stand out and remain the choice for consumers. The mission of the company, according to its website, is "Dedicated to the support and success of the independent retail grocer."
The company supports home cooking and promotes neighborhood supermarkets as the alternative choice for today's shoppers. The year 2007 saw the company acquired by Unified Western Grocers, another cooperative. The association had increased collective buying power and the member-retailers could get goods at a lower cost by buying directly from the food manufacturers. The first warehouse of 2,500 square feet was situated in Baton Rouge's downtown area near the Mississippi River. In 1975, the company relocated in to Anselmo Lane in Baton Rouge, which is still its current site.
The space occupied by its administrative and warehouse buildings totals about 700,000 square feet. Extensions to existing facilities included adding 108,000 square feet for the warehouse to give room for grocery and dairy products and 34,000 square feet for dock and freezer space that needed by the distribution centers.
The company offers the member-retailer services that include procurement, merchandising, retail technology, marketing, advertising, accounting and equipment and design services. The company has over 750 employees working full-time with annual sales of about $675 million. The company is a member-owner of Topco the umbrella association with independent retailers and food supermarkets.

Molly White is with the Northern Community Investment Corporation in Lancaster. It is administering the funds. "Typically I find that most business owners know their type of business or the industry they are in very well but they have trouble with the other types of support services such as marketing or web design."

I see your point and I have to agree with you.
As far as finding a new gas that can weld steel I have been open all along just highly skeptical and why not? I have heard all this before and not only is there no solid evidence to back this claim it just does not make sense from a physical standpoint, as I said before I may be wrong but until I either see it in a welding journal or other established source I can't help but be skeptical. This could be industry changing news and would be the subject of much discussion but I have to admit since I retired I don't stay on top of things like I once did, can't remember the last time I looked at one of my mags they still send to me.
I am sure it would still be a well known discovery that would not have to rely on internet websites to become known but be it welding gas or some other energy source these products pop up all the time with wild claims. The more I look at this one the more I am convinced it is indeed a legit outfit and maybe has a promising future but tossing mis-leading info out there (if indeed they are) will make them look bad.
If you go to the web site and read the "Products" section it sounds good until really looking at it, for instance the description on cutting says something like,
"cleaner and faster cutting with little or no slag"
Cleaner and faster cutting than WHAT?
And it seems that every gas product out there has that line about little or no slag so while it may sound good is it really better?
I may have been a bit overboard but those claims of "hotter than Acetylene" and "used for welding" both of which should be major news should be, IMO anyway, scrutinized before someone decides to spend money on this stuff. It may be all that it's cracked up to be but let's find out and calling them on their claims is simply a way to do that.

Where I stayed
Back at Home
Saturday morning was a bit of a panic, involving me running to the store to buy another suitcase, and Steve franically trying to fit everything in. I had hoped to have enough time to go to Chili's for lunch, and maybe even to Summer's Past Farms to relax a little- but neither happened. As soon as the packing was finished, and the car loaded, we had to leave for LAX. It's hard to express my disappointment in the things that we just didn't have time for on this trip. It's hard to pack it all into a few weeks, though.
When we got up to LA, we couldn't breathe. There are several brush fires consuming the area, and the air was so choked with smoke that you could physically feel it coating your lungs. Yuck.
Check- in was a nightmare! We were over our limit for carry-ons, since they didn't accept that motorcycle helmets are hats, so wound up checking 2 of the carry on bags, and sending the sand ceremony vase back to my parent's house. They'll keep it safe for us there. I'm not convinced it would survive in checked baggage, and they wouldn't let me bring it as a carry on.
So after several arguements with the check-in lady, and struggling with more luggage than most third world nations, we had a bite to eat in the Tom Brady Terminal. The first food my dad, Steve, and I had had all day. No wonder we were so grumpy!
A tearful good-bye at the bottom of the escalators (can't go any further without bording passes), and we were on our way home.
The flight started fine. We were on a much better plane than the one we flew out of New Zealand on, and we were delighted at the selection of movies. For some odd reason, however, Steve and I could not sleep. Ian on the other hand was out like a like, and slept a good portion of the way home.
Even the storm didn't seem to phase him.
About 3am, the fasten seatbelt sign came on, and we were all instructed to return to our seats, the ride was going to get a bit bumpy. I'll say! I came very close to loosing my dinner in one of those handy little baggies they give you. A woman behind Steve took the "almost" out of the equation, and threw up for the final hours of the flight. I had another close call when a stewardess came up with a hot breakfast and put it under my nose. I must have gone a funny color because she pulled it away again very fast!
We landed in Auckland to the welcome of heavy rain and strong winds. I guess that was sign enough that we were back in New Zealand.
The approach to Wellington had to be one of my favorites, though. There were a few good dips in elevation- nothing compared to what we had already endured that morning- but apparently more than the woman sitting behind us could deal with. I could just catch glimpses of her between the seats wringing her hands. With every bump of the plane she would mutter: "Jesus....Jesus.....Jesus....." And then a big drop of elevation and she would shriek, "JESUS!!" I couldn't help laughing. All the funnier is that Ian curled up in his seat, staring out the window. As the turbulence increased, he fell into a deep sleep. One of those sleeps where I had to check that he was still breathing. And man was he hard to wake up when we were finally on the ground!
So now we're at home. We got the WOF for the car, some groceries, and even dropped my wedding ring off at the jewelers to join the 2 rings together. On top of all that, we're completely unpacked, and slowly making our way through the mountain of laundry.
I think Ian will be lucky to make it to school on time tomorrow.

Bill Brand was longtime commissioner of North Shore Conference
Bill Brand was the longtime commissioner of the North Shore Conference, a title he wore like a badge of honor.
"He was so proud to be the commissioner," his son Mike said. "Of all the things he did besides being a father and all that, being commissioner made him proud."
Brand, 84, died in his sleep Monday.
Brand, who retired as commissioner a few years ago, lived his entire life in Whitefish Bay, attending St. Monica grade school and Whitefish Bay High School. After graduating from Marquette University, he taught in the district.
"He loved, loved athletics," Mike Brand said. "He was one of those guys who wasn't good enough to be on the football or basketball team but was the manager for everything."
Over the years, Bill Brand coached eighth-grade football and basketball. He also was a referee for basketball and football and worked as an official at the state cross country and track meets.
"Also during that time he was Mr. Whitefish Bay," Mike Brand said. "He was a game manager for all the football and basketball games, hiring the officials, hiring their workers and then overseeing the games. He knew every coach at every school and every referee that came."
Brand is survived by his wife of 60 years, Margie, as well as by their five children, 10 grandchildren and one great grandchild.
A wake will be held from 4-7 p.m. Thursday at Schmidt and Bartelt funeral home in Mequon. A prayer service will immediately follow. The burial mass will be held at 11 a.m. Friday at St. Monica Catholic Church in Whitefish Bay.

Courtney Love blasts Lily Allen
According to NME.com, the ill feeling continued when the pair met at the NME Awards in London on February 24, with Allen fleeing in tears after a ferocious war of words with Love. A source told the website the singers were chatting amicably before the discussion "turned really nasty, really aggressive and b**chy". Editors at the website report the pair had to be pulled apart by their entourages, after Love called Allen a "little girl" and told her "Welcome to the music industry" with Allen shouting "Why the f**k did you say that to me?" before marching out.
Love returned to her Twitter.com page the morning after the ceremony and posted a series of messages, which hint at her argument with Allen.
"Pretty darn rich coming from someone who starts nonsensical fights with people out of insecure jealousy on a weekly basis," the Daily Star quoted her as writing. "At least when I"ve started fights with people its because they f**k w (with) my kid or f**k w my dollar (money). "No further comment, hatred is not my drink, I don"t like jealousy, vindictiveness, stalkers, selfishness and dishonesty, that"s just me!" she added.

Food insecurity among Australian children : potential determinants, health and developmental consequences
Ramsey, Rebecca, Giskes, Katrina, Turrell, Gavin, & Gallegos, Danielle (2011) Food insecurity among Australian children : potential determinants, health and developmental consequences. Journal of Child Health Care, 15(4), pp. 401-416.
Children in food-insecure households may be at risk of poor health, developmental or behavioural problems. This study investigated the associations between food insecurity, potential determinants and health and developmental outcomes among children. Data on household food security, socio-demographic characteristics and children's weight, health and behaviour were collected from households with children aged 3–17 years in socioeconomically disadvantaged suburbs by mail survey using proxy-parental reports (185 households). Data were analysed using logistic regression. Approximately one-in-three households (34%) were food insecure. Low household income was associated with an increased risk of food insecurity [odds ratio (OR), 16.20; 95% confidence interval (CI), 3.52–74.47]. Children with a parent born outside of Australia were less likely to experience food insecurity (OR, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.19–0.93). Children in food-insecure households were more likely to miss days from school or activities (OR, 3.52; 95% CI, 1.46–8.54) and were more likely to have borderline or atypical emotional symptoms (OR, 2.44; 95% CI, 1.11–5.38) or behavioural difficulties (OR, 2.35; 95% CI, 1.04–5.33). Food insecurity may be prevalent among socioeconomically disadvantaged households with children. The potential developmental consequences of food insecurity during childhood may result in serious adverse health and social implications.

Island FCU (NY) Raises Rates On Long-Term CDs
Earlier this month, Island Federal Credit Union (Island FCU) raised the rate on its 60-month Certificate (2.25% APY) and 84-month Certificate (2.50% APY). The minimum deposit for either Certificate is $1k, with no stated balance cap. Both Certificates are also available as "Youth Certificates" ($500 minimum deposit) for family members up to age 19.
Both Certificates are also available as IRAs (Traditional, Roth, CESA), earning the same APYs with the same funding requirements.
The 84-month Certificate was added to the product line less than three months ago and the current APY is the first rate increase (48 basis points) in that time. On the other hand, the 60-month Certificate has been available since late 2009, and experienced 16 rates changes, with the current APY the highest offered in nearly five years.
According to CSR, the Early Withdrawal Penalty for the 60- and 84-month certificates is "the lesser of all dividends earned or 365 days' dividends."
Refer A Friend
Island FCU has a "Refer a Friend" program that could earn current members up to $500 in bonuses.
Bonus is available to Island members in good standing, who refer a friend to open an Island checking account. New account must remain in good standing and receive a recurring monthly direct deposit, for a minimum of six months (electronic deposit such as payroll or pension). Bonuses will be credited after six months to your savings accounts. Members are eligible to receive up to ten referrals for a maximum of $500. New members are eligible for one bonus.
Headquartered in Hauppauge, New York, Island Federal Credit Union's field of membership is primarily residency based, with individuals who live, work, worship, or attend school in Nassau County or Suffolk County (with the exception of the townships of East Hampton, Southampton, and Shelter Island) eligible to join.
As a result of the 2013 merger, members of the former CWA Long Island Federal Credit Union also qualify for membership.
Members of the following Communications Workers of America locals are also eligible to join: Local 1104 (Nassau County, NY); Local 1106 (Queens County, NY); Local 1108 (Suffolk County, NY); Local 1109 (Kings County, NY); Local 1102 (Staten Island, NY); and Local 1105 (Bronx, NY).
Complete details are available on the Membership page.
Joining Island FCU can be done online, at any of nine New York branches located in Bellmore, Hauppauge, Hicksville, North Massapequa, Riverhead, Sayville, Selden, and Stony Brook (2).
According to CSR, existing members can open a Certificate on the phone (631-851-1100), but new (joining) members must open a Certificate in-branch.
Credit Union Overview
Island Federal Credit Union (NCUA Charter # 10023) has an overall health grade of "A" at DepositAccounts.com, with a Texas ratio of 1.89% (excellent) based on September 30, 2016 data. In the past year, Island FCU increased its total non-brokered deposits by $62.19 million, an excellent annual growth rate of 7.56%.

Established in 1955, Island Federal Credit Union is currently New York State's 18th largest credit union, with more than 35,900 members and assets in excess of $1.1 billion. In 2014, Newsday reported on a 10-year financial partnership between Island FCU and Stony Brook University.
Stony Brook University and Island Federal Credit Union have agreed to a $7 million partnership, giving the Hauppauge-based firm exclusive naming rights to the school's new 4,000-seat arena, the film festival at Staller Center and several other campus programs for the next decade, university officials said Tuesday.
The credit union will be the sole provider of financial services on the 1,039-acre campus in the agreement negotiated through the Faculty Student Association, the nonprofit auxiliary group licensed by the state to provide goods and services to the campus community. It will have two retail branches and 10 ATMs there.

Read an Excerpt
The Sixth Earl of Saltash glanced round the immense dining-table,
and was conscious of a glow of satisfaction.
It was an emotion not shared by his butler, or by his steward,
each of whom had served the Fifth Earl, and remembered, with a wealth of nostalgic detail, the various occasions upon which the State Dining-room had been used to entertain Royalty,
foreign Ambassadors, and ton parties of great size and brilliance.
The Fifth Earl had been a Public Man. It was otherwise with his son, who had neither the desire nor the ability to fill a great office. Indeed, so little expectation had he of entertaining even the most undistinguished scion of a royal house that the State
Apartments at Easterby might have fallen into total disuse had he not, at the age of thirty, become betrothed to the Lady
Charlotte Calne.
This, since he was the sole surviving son of the Fifth Earl,
he could not but consider to be a matter of considerable family importance; and to mark it he had summoned to Easterby, to meet his prospective bride, every available member of the house of Staple. A rapid review of his maternal relations had been enough to convince him that their presence at this triumphant gathering would be as unnecessary as it was undesirable. To the Staples he was a person of consequence, the head of his family, and not even his masterful sister Albinia would withhold from him (in public) the respect to which his position entitled him. It was otherwise with the Timbercombes, owing him no allegiance; and it did not take him more than a few ref lective minutes to decide that his marriage did not concern them.
So twenty persons only sat down to dinner under the painted ceiling in the State Dining-room;
and the Earl, seated at the head of a table loaded with plate, and bearing as a centrepiece an enormous epergne, presented by some foreign potentate to the Fifth Earl, looked around him with satisfaction.
It mattered nothing to him that the room was over-large for the company, and that the gentlemen outnumbered the ladies by two: the Staples had responded in the most gratifying way to his invitation, and were behaving even his formidable Aunt
Caroline just as they ought. He could see that Lady Melksham,
his future mother-in-
was impressed. With most of the Staples she was already acquainted, but she had not until today met his
Uncle Trevor, the Archdeacon, who was seated beside her, or his huge cousin John. His unmarried aunt, Maria, who kept house for him, had suffered a little qualm about John's lowlier position at the dining-table,
but she had yielded to the Earl's wish. She knew, of course, that an Archdeacon must take precedence over a retired Captain of Dragoon Guards, but the Archdeacon was her younger brother, and it was difficult for her to realize that he had any particular standing in the world. John, on the other hand,
was the only son of her second brother, and heir-presumptive to the Earldom, which made him, in her eyes, a person of consequence.
She ventured to say as much to the Earl, and he was not displeased: he felt it to be a very just observation.
'However, I daresay dear John won't care where he sits!' had added Lady Maria comfortably.
The Earl felt that this was regrettably true. He was very fond of John, but he thought him far too careless of his dignity.
Probably his years of campaigning in the Peninsula had made him forgetful of what was due to himself and the name he bore.
His manners were easy to a fault, and he very often behaved in a freakish way which seriously shocked his noble relative. His exploits in the Peninsula had made him a by-word amongst his fellow-officers;
and one at least of his actions since he had sold out, in 1814, had seemed to the Earl unbecomingly whimsical.
No sooner did he learn that Napoleon was again at large than he returned to the Army as a volunteer; and when the Earl had shown him that duty did not demand such a sacrifice of his dignity, he had burst out laughing, and had exclaimed: 'Oh,
Bevis, Bevis !
You don't suppose I'd miss this campaign, do you? I wouldn't, for a fortune! Duty be hanged!'
So off had gone John to the wars again. But he had not remained for long in the humble position of a volunteer.
Colonel Clifton, commanding the 1st Regiment of Dragoons,
no sooner heard that Crazy Jack was back than he enrolled him as an extra aide-de-
He emerged from the Waterloo
Campaign much refreshed, and with no more serious injuries than a sabre-cut,
and a graze from a spent ball. The Earl was very glad to see him safe home again, and began to think that it was time he settled down, and married an eligible female. He had inherited a small estate from his father; he was twenty-nine years of age; and he had no brothers.
His lordship, glancing round his table, remembered this, as his eyes alighted on his aunt-in-
the Honourable Mrs Staple. He wondered that she should not have provided her son with a suitable wife, and thought that perhaps he would broach the matter to her later in the evening. He was not quite two years older than John, but as the head of the family he believed himself to be responsible for his cousins. This helped him to overcome the feeling of inferiority which too often possessed him when he was confronted by these over-poweringly large persons. A big race, the Staples: he was himself a tall man, but narrow-shouldered,
and inclined to stoop. John, of course, was a giant; and his sister,
Lady Lichfield, who was talking with determined amiability to the Earl's very dull brother-in-
Mr Tackenham, stood five foot nine inches in her bare feet. Lucius Staple, only child of the
Fourth Earl's third son, was a big man, too; and so was Arthur,
the Archdeacon's eldest-born,
just now striving to entertain his cousin Lettice, who was making sheep's eyes at John, across the table. Even young Geoffrey Yatton, Lettice's brother, though still slightly gangling, bade fair to tower above the Earl; and their mother, Lady Caroline, could only be described as massive.
Lady Charlotte Calne, the Earl's betrothed, had been so much struck by the splendid proportions of the Staples that she had been moved to utter a spontaneous remark. 'How very big your cousins are!' she said. 'They are all very good-looking:
exceptionally so, I fancy.'
He was gratified, and said eagerly: 'Do you think so indeed?
But Lucius has red hair, you know, and although Geoffrey is well enough, I don't consider Arthur above the ordinary. But
John is a fine fellow, isn't he? I hope you will like him: everyone likes John! I have a great regard for him myself.'
'If that is so he must have a claim on my regard. I assure you
I shall like him excessively,' replied the lady, as one who knew where her duty lay.
Not for the first time he congratulated himself on his choice of bride. Himself a man of no more than mild sensibility he found nothing amiss with his Charlotte's colourless manner; and he would have experienced considerable surprise had he known that she did not meet with universal approbation in his family. But although Lady Maria thought she would make Bevis an excellent wife, the Archdeacon that she was a pretty-behaved girl, and Lady
Caroline that her only fault was a lack of dowry, it was noticeable that Mrs Staple refrained from expressing an opinion, and Mr
Yatton (though not within his wife's hearing) went so far as to say that she favoured her mother too much for his taste.

We can only imagine some of the things people could be writing with this new addition.
"Didn't I hear you got a divorce?"
"Oh, are you and John done???"
Come on, Facebook. It was more charming when you at least pretended you didn't know you were an enabler.
