This is a super easy soup to make you don't even need to peel the butternut squash : ) By roasting the squash first you get a delicious almost smoky flavour to the soup.
I make this often and it's a great syn free lunch or even just for a snack when you get in from work while making dinner it saves you from being tempted to have anything naughty in that time between getting in and having dinner.
It also freezes beautifully I use the 'pour and store' bags to freeze it (get them in home bargains ) so it doesn't take up much space in the freezer.
Easy roasted butternut squash soup
1 medium/large butternut squash
2 pints hot vegetable stock (from a cube is fine)
1 large onion (chopped)
1 clove garlic (crushed)
1 tsp dried sage
low calorie spray oil
salt and pepper
Cut the top off the squash and then cut it in half lengthways, Scoop out the seeds and discard them then place the two halves cut side down on a roasting sheet you have sprayed lightly with spray oil and lightly spray the tops with oil too then place in a hot oven at gas 6 /200/ 400 for 30-40 minutes until brown and soft.
Spray a large saucepan with the spray oil and add the onion,garlic and sage and sprinkle with a 1/2 tsp salt and cook over a medium heat until the onions are soft but not browned. Add the roasted squash broken into pieces (you don't have to be neat) to the pan and add the vegetable stock.
Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes, Blend till the soup is smooth and taste for seasoning you probably don't need any salt but I like to add lots of freshly ground black pepper.
Serve 4 and is syn free

Do you add the squash to the sauce pan with the skin still on?ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, the roasting makes the skin very softDelete

- Alec Baldwin: It was a moonlit night. Barton Winslow was taking some special robots to a town by the lake.
- Mr. Nicholas: Whenever that owl hoots, a mist rolls in.
- Alec Baldwin: Murmured Mr. Nicholas.
- Mr. Nicholas: There's a legend that when the mist's about, there's a ghost about too. Take care on the old line, Barton.
- Barton Winslow: Stupid bird!
- Alec Baldwin: Said Barton.
- Barton Winslow: Owls…mists…ghosts…Mr. Nicholas' going soft in the head. There's no mist.
- Alec Baldwin: But Barton was wrong.
- Barton: What's that?
- Alec Baldwin: Cried Barton.
- Wade: It's an amber light.
- Alec Baldwin: Murmured Wade.
- Floyd: That means, Proceed with caution. Who's there?
- Alec Baldwin: No one replied. Barton crept slowly forward. He stopped by a tree. It had a sign nailed to it: "BEWARE OF THE BRIDGE." Wade was surprised.
- Wade: No one warned us about that before, and look -- the light's red! And the gates are closed. And there's a fogman's coat! But where is its owner?
- Alec Baldwin: Then they saw a light moved within a house.
- Barton Winslow: G-g-g-g-g-GHOSTS!
- Alec Baldwin: Exclaimed Barton.
- Barney: Mr. Nicholas was right!
- Wade: Something very strange is happening.
- Alec Baldwin: Said Wade.
- Wade: I think it's best we go back.
- Barton Winslow: So do I!
- Alec Baldwin: Agreed Barton. By morning, the mists have cleared. Boomer was talking about the unsafe bridge.
- Boomer: Lucky you didn't cross it last night.
- Wade: Yes, but we don't know who warned us.
- Alec Baldwin: Replied Floyd. Later that day, he spoke to Barton.
- Wade: The bridge has been repaired. We can take our load back along the old line tonight.
- Alec Baldwin: Barton really didn't want to. But when nightfall came, he was sizzling nicely. Suddenly, an owl hooted, and then Billy Twofeathers thundered by.
- Robot: Oh look--Barton's spooked!
- Alec Baldwin: Said a robot.
- Barton: Be quiet!
- Alec Baldwin: Snapped Barton.
- Barton: I'm not scared.
- Alec Baldwin: But he was. A little later, the fog came down. As they approached the same area, they saw the amber light again.
- Wade: Here we go.
- Alec Baldwin: Said Wade. Then, unknown to Barton, the gates mysteriously closed by themselves. And the signal went red. The robots have seen everything, and they were spooked.
- Robots: Faster! Faster! There's a ghost about.
- Barton: Stop! Stop!
- Alec Baldwin: Yelled Barton. A mysterious figure watched Barton go by. Ahead was a landslide blocking the road. Barton braked hard, but the robots hit some of the rubble and plunged over the ravine. Just then, Wade saw a strange sight coming towards them.
- Wade: What's that?
- Alec Baldwin: He said. Diddy Kong laughed.
- Diddy Kong: That's our ghost -- it's Uncle Chuck, the hedgehog!
- Alec Baldwin: Uncle Chuck was very cross.
- Uncle Chuck: I tried to warn you about the bridge. Why didn't you pay attention?
- Wade: We're sorry.
- Alec Baldwin: Replied Wade.
- Wade: Is there anything we can do to thank you?
- Uncle Chuck: I'd like to operate that old house. If you let me, I promise I won't spook Barton again.
- Alec Baldwin: And in a little while, Chuck's wish was granted.
- JB King: You will be really useful.
- Alec Baldwin: Said JB King.
- JB King: Let's hear a hearty thank you to the friendliest, uh, ghost in Shining Time.
- Alec Baldwin: Everyone cheered. Especially Barton, who was the happiest of all.

Stayed here as a Birthday treat while we were away. George Town is an expensive place this hotel though more expensive than most of Malaysia is in line with the prices here. The staff where fantastic especially with my random demands. The room was a great size and cleaned daily. Though the bathrooms aren't ensuite they are cleaned regularly and work perfectly. Only criticism is the hotel doesn't include Breakfast but they do say that everywhere (I just didn't notice) A special hotel

Are We Just Waiting for Another Tech Bubble?
Last February, Facebook shelled out $19 billion for mobile messaging platform WhatsApp, instantly creating 55 new Palo Alto millionaires at the small, start-up company.
The HBO series "Silicon Valley" has found comedy gold in the Northern California economy, satirizing what has become a recurring story in the area: The tiny app that made it big. But that narrative has left some in Silicon Valley and on Wall Street scratching their heads, worrying that the tech economy has re-entered the boom-and-bust era of the late 1990s.
Over the last few days, two prominent hedge fund managers, David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital and Jeff Ubben of ValueAct, have raised concerns about the future of Silicon Valley.
"We've got to fix tech," Ubben told a group of investors this week, while Einhorn warned that "cool kid companies" may have created another tech bubble.
Josh Lerner is a professor at Harvard Business School and an expert in venture capital and the tech economy. The author of "The Venture Capital Cycle" and "The Money of Innovation," Lerner explains that, while he sees some similarities between the '90s tech boom and today, he believes the tech economy is still in a safe zone.

The following is a guest post by Jeremy. Enjoy!
Most new business owners are excited to launch their own start-ups. With so much information on the Internet for entrepreneurs, it can be hard to know what steps you should take when starting a new business.
Legal Business Structure
Keep in mind that understanding business law will be absolutely essential to your success. Depending on the type of business you are starting, you may wish to contact a lawyer to assist you with paperwork or state and federal filings. The United States Small Business Administration provides a wealth of resources for new business owners. Take time to familiarize yourself with the agency's website.
Many new business owners hire a lawyer or contract with an experienced entrepreneur to gain guidance. While this is a great option, you may be eager to do as much as you can on your own. A variety of easy-to-use legal documents are available for small business owners. One of the first things that you should consider when launching your enterprise is what type of business you will be. Will you run a sole proprietorship? Are you going to have a partner, or do you prefer to adopt a corporate structure? Whatever structure you end up choosing, you will need to file papers in your state so that your business can operate.
Considerations for Partnerships
If you are starting a partnership, you'll want to be sure that you have a solid contract between partners. This should detail what will happen if there are any substantial changes in the business. Clarify how profits will be shared and what duties each partner is responsible for. While you probably have a great relationship with your business partner, it's important to be prepared for the future. Be sure that you have a clear plan outlined for how profits will be divided should you decide to take your company public.
Employment Laws
Every new business owner should also take time to familiarize himself or herself with employment laws and regulations. If you plan on having employees, you will need to follow both state and federal laws. If you fail to comply with such laws, you can face heavy legal fines and may lose your business license. Attending an employment law seminar is a great way to familiarize yourself with the applicable laws in your state.
Tax Laws
You should also be sure to understand the tax laws that are applicable to your type of business. While you can find plenty of information on the Internal Revenue Service website, you may wish to speak with an experienced business accountant. Keeping your business records in good order is essential. Familiarize yourself with record keeping guidelines and laws. Remember that every business has different legal needs. Time spent investigating particular legal concerns in your industry will be time well-spent.
How about you all? What type of business structure do you have in place for your business – sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, S-corp., or an LLC? Why did you chose the format that you did? Would you do it differently if you could go back in time and start all over?
Do you hire a lawyer and/or accountant to help you with the tax and other legal issues surrounding your business, or do you handle everything yourself? Why?

No children, no pets.
This tiny home has all that you'll need for a relaxing getaway. Though you cannot see the creek from the home, you can hear it's magical sound-- even in the far side of the home.
My husband and I just got home from our stay in the Ridge cabin. It was an absolutely perfect getaway to celebrate our anniversary! The owners have truly thought out every detail. We loved hearing the creek as we sat on the porch in the rocking chairs. The hammock was so relaxing. There was a wonderful jacuzzi as well! We cannot say enough great things about what a wonderful experience we had at Chesley Creek Farms.
Not one thing I would Change. Perfect!
Chuck's hospitality was amazing. Our cabin in the woods was the perfect place to get away and relax for the weekend. We could hear the gurgling of Chelsey Creek as we sat in the rocking chairs on the back porch. Beautiful woods all around, a warm fire, and a jacuzzi. We cooked, relaxed, and watched the stars drift across the sky each night.
Thanks again for such a memorable and magical trip!
What an incredible place! Wonderful inn-keepers, beautiful views, and a perfectly cozy cabin -- they've thought of everything one would need - right down the hiking sticks by the cabin door!
Perfect location for our honeymoon - beautiful night sky (not a drop of city light pollution) for star-gazing and crisp mountain air to blow through the bathroom windows while enjoying a bath... it was the epitome of serenity!
We will be back to visit again!
My husband and I were actually traveling to the area for a meeting, but didn't want to stay in a hotel. We stumbled across Chesley Creek Cottages and thought the 18 mile drive might be worth the mountain atmosphere. Man, were we ever right!
We visited the cottages at the peak season in autumn, and it felt like we were in heaven! We didn't actually meet the proprietors, however, their hospitality was apparent. We returned one afternoon to home-baked cookies.
The cottages are well appointed with comfortable beds, huge soaking tubs and plenty of books and music to relax to. There are nice decks on the cottages, with hammocks for lounging, and a place for a fire if you want to roast marshmallows under the stars. Don't plan to use your phones or internet...this is a great place to spend time with your loved-one without interruptions. It is a nice drive, and there are wineries close by if you like to visit new places.
I am really sad that this year, the cottages are already booked for our planned weekend away. I will reserve earlier next year!
Located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, 18 miles NW of Charlottesville, and 10 miles from Skyline Drive and George Washington National Forest. 90 miles SW of Washington, DC and 75 NW of Richmond, Va.

Issue No. 01 - January-March (2005 vol. 4)
pp: 2-3
DOI Bookmark: http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/MPRV.2005.5
A gripping scene in the movie Air Force One depicts the president of the United States getting technical help over a cell phone to dump fuel from his aircraft and thus force its hijackers to land. At a critical moment, when he is about to learn which wire to cut, his cell phone battery dies. Even the president cannot escape the ruthless economics of battery life!
Energy is only one of many resources needed for mobile computing. Other resources include wireless network bandwidth, CPU cycles, main memory, and disk space. However, energy is the only perishable resource—once consumed, it cannot be replenished by actions performed within the mobile computing system. Only external actions, such as recharging the battery or replacing it, can replenish the resource. This is in contrast to the other resources I mentioned. You can reclaim both memory and disk space through deletions. With the passage of sufficient time, you can transmit a certain number of bits or execute a certain amount of code, even when bandwidth or CPU cycles are scarce. In general, these scarce resources affect the rate of progress, perceived performance, and user experience in mobile computing. But their scarcity does not have the grim finality of a dead battery.
A good tutorial on the fundamental issues surrounding battery life is the 1997 US National Research Council report, Energy-Efficient Technologies for the Dismounted Soldier. 1 The council created the report in response to the energy challenges faced by the Land Warrior system, an early use of wearable computing for military applications. 2 The 2004 report, Meeting the Energy Needs of Future Warriors, provides an update on the 1997 report. 3
One memorable quote from the first NRC report says, "Using new materials and chemistries, batteries are approaching explosives in terms of energy density." Imagine the battery in your laptop, PDA, or cell phone having the energy content of a stick of dynamite! Fortunately, this energy is released over many hours rather than a few microseconds. But an implication of the quote is that radical improvements in battery technology are unlikely—their energy density is already very high. Incremental improvements are likely, but some of those improvements will be eaten up by the energy demands of increased functionality in mobile devices. It is therefore essential to explore alternative approaches to extending battery life.
One approach is to improve hardware power efficiency, a key concern of every designer of mobile hardware. Another is to make software energy-aware, thereby reducing its energy demands on hardware. 4 A third approach is to perform cyber foraging by offloading work to nearby servers, 5 and a fourth approach is to trigger external actions that replenish a battery's energy. All are viable options, and we will likely use different combinations of them in different circumstances.
Given the vital role of energy in mobile and pervasive computing, this issue focuses on this topic. The guest editors are all researchers who have made important contributions to this area. Roy Want leads the Personal Server project at Intel Research; Chandra Narayanaswami leads the group at IBM Research that created the first Linux wristwatch computer; Keith Farkas contributed to many aspects of energy efficiency in the Itsy pocket computer at Compaq Research. Their Guest Editors' Introduction discusses the energy-related topics we explore in this issue.
Chandra Narayanaswami manages the Wearable Computing group at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center. His group is investigating challenging issues in device form factors, infrastructure support and exploitation, symbiotic computing, new applications and user interfaces, and power management for pervasive computing. His research interests are mobile and pervasive computing, including wearable computing, the use of pervasive devices in business processes, middleware for interdevice interaction among ubiquitous devices, novel applications, and power management. He received his BTech in electrical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, and his MS and PhD in computer and systems engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

They don't know how to diagnose problems, they only know how to do a complete overhaul.
I'm willing to bet they showed you a small bit of bronze/aluminum powder in the oil pan and said "The transmission is worn out" that powder is from manufacturing and is not Wear
Very old trick, Non-Mechanics don't know this.
In today's computer controlled transmissions there's a 50/50 chance it's the programming and NOT wear, but then they disassemble the trans and hold you for ransom.
I'll bet when they get it running again it does the same "Flare" and they'll refuse to either fix or refund, that's how they profit.
I worked very briefly for "Mr Transmission", they fired me when I would not go along with their "Bronze/Aluminum bits in the pan" scheme, and told the customer what was really wrong. (Second gear band adjustment, Ford C-4)
I don't trust any transmission builder except the dealership (Whatever make you own) WE know tricks and get bulletins the Transmission shops don't.
Sounds to me the "Kickdown" is adjusted a bit sensitively and needs to be adjusted for more throttle before downshifting, NOT OVERHAULING.
Too late now.

David Haye today rubbished claims from Vitali Klitschko's manager that he is "afraid" of facing the Ukrainian heavyweight.
The former world champion has signed up to face Dereck Chisora on July 14 at Upton Park — a grudge match that has been widely derided as it is taking place under a licence from Luxembourg as neither fighter holds a British licence.
Bernd Boente, who manages Vitali, said that he had offered a contract to Haye prior to the announcement of the bout between the two Londoners, but claims the Bermondsey fighter turned it down as he was scared of the 40-year-old Ukrainian.
Haye, however, is targeting a September bout with the WBC heavyweight champion and said: "It makes absolutely no sense for me to turn down a fight I desperately want.
"The whole idea behind going ahead with this Chisora fight was that a victory may then lead to a fight with Vitali Klitschko."
Haye also claimed Boente's statements are a way for Vitali to save face. "At this advanced stage in his career, the last thing on Vitali's mind are tough challenges in the ring," he added. "He's essentially semi-retired, which is fine, so long as he comes clean about it. Don't go stringing everybody along when some of us know the truth."

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner flew to the Bahamas with their children as their divorce was announced on Tuesday. The couple, who were married for ten years, reportedly wanted to be together as a family when the news broke.
"They were together as a family that day," a source told People. "The family felt it was important to be together and they were together. The family is united and, no matter what, will protect the kids.
"This isn't easy for anyone and it's devastating to Ben too. He loves his family and will always put them first."

West Maui Wowie
I just stayed at a condo on Maui's west shore
So built for relaxing that to walk through its door
Is like stepping into some alternative space
Where beauty's the password and pleasure's the pace
From a granite topped kitchen that's liberally stocked
With whatever you need for that dish you concoct
To the bedrooms upstairs both equipped with a bath
You'll swear that to paradise you've found the path
Not to mention the manicured sun setting views
You get from whichever deck's lounge chair you choose
Or the rise of the Milky Way's gentle white light
That blankets the sky as the day says goodnight
But nothing more praise I can think of demands
Than the velvety touch of its uncrowded sands
And the wonderful feeling that no one should miss
Of floating with turtles in this tropical bliss!
Our second time staying here and it was just as wonderful as the first. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great condo, in a fantastic location. We will be back again for sure!
We stayed here for a week and it was by far the best place we have stayed at. It was beyond amazing and even nicer than the photos show! The condo is huge, decorated very nicely, the kitchen is really well stocked too. The outdoor bbq and lounge area is great and so well maintained.The view is unreal, everyday we saw whales jumping in the water right from the balcony. The pool and beach are amazing too. The beach is a nice little cove and literally you can not go in the water without seeing turtles close to the right side of the beach. Such a cool place for snorkeling. It was like staying at a mini resort but nice and quite with really friendly neighbors. Nearby market had everything you needed. Lots of sights and attractions close by with car. Honestly though we would have drove to the middle nowhere to stay at this resort its that nice. Highly recommend this condo and resort, we will definitely be coming back. The owner went above and beyond with helpful information and suggestions.
We stayed 10 days in this condo. It was very comfortable. We had our daughter, son n law, 2 grand baby's and our mom we were all very happy with the accommodation. The kitchen was exactly as described the beds were great, view fantastic the grounds were beautiful, nice heated pool the beach was great for biggie boards a little steep for the little ones we saw turtles we could also see the whales from our Lani. Carol in the office was very friendly. Sullivan property's greater us with a beach blanket. The2 bbq areas were the great we used them every evening. I do recommend to shop at cistco. And then use times market which is just a couple miles down the road. The market in napali is fairly expensive. We have stayed in several condos on maui. And this one will be one we return to.
The owner was great getting back to us with any questions we had. He gave us alot of info and suggestions on car rental, outings and maps
Thank you John

I have been renting condos at Kahana Sunset for years. Last year, June 2014, I rented this condo with my family and we had a blast! We rented it again in October, 2015 and again it was perfect for relaxing. This is an updated condo with everything you could want in a fun, leisurely vacation on Maui. No over-crowding at the pool or beach front. I love the lanai with it's awning that protects against those occasional rain showers. The grounds are wonderful.
We had a wonderful stay at Kahana Sunset. We have been here numerous times and it never disappoints. The unit we stayed in is beautiful and well furnished. The kitchen has everything you need and more. Our view from the deck of the grounds and ocean was really nice. The grounds are nicely landscaped with beautiful Hawaiian flowers. Lounging on our chaise lounge with the ocean in front of us was so relaxing! The pool is nice and the perfect temperature. We enjoyed watching for turtles while swimming in the secluded cove. Watching the sunset and having cocktails with friends are one of our favorite parts of the day. We enjoyed having a barbecues to use when we grilled at the condo. Also, we love how Kahana Sunset is just a short drive to Kaanpali where we shopped and ate numerous great meals!
Kahana Sunset está localizado logo abaixo Napili, e nós somos 8 milhas ao norte de Lahaina. Kahana é muito calmo e tranquilo, mas estamos apenas a poucas milhas das atracções turísticas típicas.

"I'm not a bad businessman", filmmaker D.W. Griffith once protested, "Honestly I'm not!" Yet industryites were certain that Griffith had taken leave of his financial senses when he paid $175,000 for the screen rights to the old Lottie Blair Parker stage play Way Down East. Considered out of date even in 1920, the play told the story of Anna (Lillian Gish), the efficient yet secretive serving girl for a large farm family. Anna falls in love with David Bartlett (Richard Barthelmess), the family's son, but feels unworthy of him due to her checkered past. It seems that, years earlier, Anna had been duped into a sham marriage by city slicker Lenox Sanderson (Lowell Sherman). When she became pregnant, Sandson walked out on her. Shortly afterwards, her newborn child died, and Anna was shunned by her home community. These facts come to surface when Sanderson returns to Anna's life as the local squire. David's prudish father orders Anna out of the house and into a blinding snowstorm, but David, after settling accounts with the duplicitious Sanderson, goes after Anna and claims her as his bride. In adapting Way Down East for the screen, Griffith fleshes out the characters of Anna and Sanderson by adding a prologue, which included one of those poignant scenes ever filmed: Anna's tearful insistence that her dying baby be baptized. He also injected the weary old property with a jolt of sheer showmanship, added a "last minute rescue" sequences wherein Anna, lying exhausted on an ice floe, is rescued by David seconds before plunging over a precipitous waterfall. Even today's audiences, armed with the foreknowledge that Lillian Gish enjoyed 73 hale and hearty years after the completion of Way Down East, invariably gasp in fright and urge Richard Barthelmess to "hurry! hurry!"during the climactic scene. Far from becoming Griffith's Folly as predicted, Way Down East was a huge moneymaker. There is no better of Griffith's artistry than the fact that the 1930 talkie remake of Way Down East, though directed by the formidable Henry King, failed to match the pathos and power of the 1920 version. Our own quibble: why did Griffith retain so much of the original play's wheezy comedy relief, and why did he put that relief in the hands of the relentlessly unfunny Creighton Hale? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Metamoris 2 Results
Metamoris 2 took place yesterday in Los Angeles, California at the UCLA Pauley Pavilion. Kron Gracie faced world renowned Jiu Jitsu specialist, Shinya Aoki. It was thought to be a great night of Jiu Jitsu action. The event featured 6 match ups in both Gi and No-Gi matches. Metamoris is a Jiu Jitsu based promotion owned and operated by Ralek Gracie. It is an MMA style event that is strictly for Jiu Jitsu, submission only matches. UFC star, Brendan Schaub, competed on this event as well. His match was less than satisfactory, as he seemed to not want to engage Roberto "Cyborg" Abreu. Kron Gracie would save the night though with his phenomenal performance. Kron Took control of the match and tapped out Aoki with a purely great Guillotine.
It was announced at Metamoris 2 that Royler Gracie vs Eddie Bravo will headline Metamoris 3. This is a much anticipated rematch between two true legends of the sport. The initial match took place at the 2003 Abu Dhabi Submission Wrestling World Championship, with Bravo getting the victory.
Here are the results for Metamoris 2:
Kron Gracie defeats Shinya Aoki by Guillotine Choke (No Gi)
Rodolfo Vieira defeats Braulio Estima by Decision (Gi)
Andre Galvao defeats Rafael Lovato Jr. by Decision (Gi)
Roberto "Cyborg" Abreu defeats Brendan Schaub by Decision (No Gi)
Michelle Nicolini and Mackenzie Dern ends in a draw (Gi)
Victor Estima and JT Torres ends in a draw. (Gi)

Leadership Award Certificate Template
For acknowledging outstanding leadership by employees or students organizations award them with leadership award certificate. The title of the certificate is mentioned in a blue script on top and the name of the person to whom the certificate is presented is mentioned below along with reason for which the certificate is being given. You would require your award certificate with personalized format if you do not wish to have anything written on it and everything typed only.
The name of the recipient and the purpose of the award should be entered in it before the template is printed. It would be better to have blank certificates if there is a long list of employees to be awarded with this certificate. A leadership award certificate is simple to format and proves to be extremely helpful for an organization as it motivates the employees and encourages them to show better performance in the future.

Following the kick-off of Birds Eye's Step Up To The Plate program, Birds Eye and Disney will introduce a multi-platform sponsorship that promotes the great taste of vegetables and the benefits they provide. It is anticipated that the initiative will also include a Disney Consumer Products component that will showcase characters on Birds Eye packaging.The collaboration between Disney and Birds Eye will be brought to life this summer through Disney's top-ranked kid and tween targeted media platforms, helping to give veggies an image makeover in the eyes of children. The Birds Eye Step Up To The Plate program aligns with Disney's Magic of Healthy Living initiative and integrates Birds Eye into program sponsorships and "Disney's Magic of Healthy Living TRYathlon Road Tour" scheduled for August and September 2014. It will also engage Disney Channel and Disney XD stars for a cross-platform sweepstakes. Together, Birds Eye and Disney will show kids that veggies can be both fun and delicious by encouraging them to explore new healthy foods. "Moms know veggies are healthy and that her family needs to eat more of them," said Mark Schiller, EVP & President, Birds Eye Frozen Division at Pinnacle Foods Inc. "Our job is to help make it easy for her to do just that. Having Disney Step Up To The Plate with us furthers our ability to inspire children to like veggies for life."

Travel Blogs from Munich
... said yes. Turns out the stop before Untermenzing is Obermenzing and they thought I was asking this. So there I was, still one stop away and no train for another 40 mins. I got out my app and saw it was only 1.2km away so decided I'll just walk it or even hail a taxi. No taxis would stop and after about 800m of walking the footpath stopped and the road turned into a motorway. I stood there in my lederhosen looking very confused. Suddenly a German ...
Hot, Hot Munich
... So we toured around, saw the Town Center that has a large cockspiel (like a moving puppet show on a clock) in it and then walked to the river Isar where we soaked our feet in the ice cold water. The relief of ice cold water was great, unfortunately the mosquitoes and bugs forced us out otherwise we would probably still be there. Then we found the Hofbrauhouse where we all enjoyed some original German food and beer. Then ...
Fairytale day? Sadly no.
Munich was turning out to be one of the lowlights of this trip. This had a lot to do with the incessant rain over the last few days. The city itself was beautiful and I definitely wasn't giving it due justice here. Unfortunately i didn't enjoy my experience here the last few days.
I caught the train out to the town F�ssen today to visit the Neuschwanstein Castle. You may not have heard of this particular castle but you must ...

... no rights. The recruits were rewarded for their cruelty to the prisoners, the cruelty showed their loyalty to the fatherland. The training camp is still there, it was used as a military base for the US army after the war, and is now a training camp for the German police, specifically the riot police. As the guide was explaining this to us, we saw a riot tank drive into the camp.
The original prisoners of Dachau, were not in fact Jews. Well some of them were, but mostly ...
Things noticed in Switzerland and Austria
Similarly to a previous post, here is a list of things that I noticed were really different from what we would find or see in Canada. - the bathtubs in hotel rooms are about two inches higher than the standard bathtub in both America. Not enough to notice when you simply look at it, but enough for you to trip in it, fall and crack your head open. - everyone here is friendly. VERY ...

Miami's running game was a strength on Saturday, and ACC fans should expect to see more of the same this fall as the Canes have one of the most talented and deepest groups of running backs in the ACC. Look for more short passes to the running backs this fall. About 3,000 fans were in attendance at Spanish River High School in Boca Raton, Fla., to watch the two-hour session under first-year coach Al Golden:
Offensive highlights:
Five backs -- Mike James, Lamar Miller, Storm Johnson, Maurice Hagens and John Calhoun -- combined for 226 yards on 41 carries (5.5 yard per rush). James led all players with 124 total yards of offense (89 on the ground and 35 through the air) while Johnson and Miller finished with 94 and 67 total yards respectively.
Jacory Harris completed 14 of 21 passes for 120 yards and one touchdown.
Stephen Morris completed 7 of 13 passes for 93 yards and one touchdown.
Travis Benjamin had four catches for 49 yards and two carries for 26 yards.
Defensive highlights:
Senior linebacker Jordan Futch led the defense with nine total tackles and two sacks.
Sean Spence had eight tackles, three tackles for loss and two sacks.
Junior defensive end Adewale Ojomo had the best day of any of the linemen with six tackles, four tackles for loss and two sacks.
In the secondary, Vaughn Telemaque led the way with seven tackles and a pass deflection.
Travis Williams had seven tackles, two for loss, and one sack.
Quotable: "We have talent there; we have to find ways to get them the ball," Golden said of his running backs. "We have [offensive coordinator] Jedd [Fisch], who is really coaching the heck out of them and using them, and having the quarterbacks see them and know that they're part of the progression because it's easy yards. Obviously it's our job as coaches to put our best players in position to make plays and I think they did that today. ... Michael James is a really good football player ... I'm excited about him."

3D or not 3D. That is the question. And it's one that divides the critics somewhat over DreamWorks' latest animated blockbuster, which topped the US box office last week and will most likely be the new UK No 1 when results are announced later today. Much has been made of the ongoing 3D revolution: distributors love it because they can charge more for a ticket, and audiences are statistically more likely to see a film at a venue where they can add that third dimension. And yet, nearly nine decades after the technique was first pioneered in cinemas, there are those in the critical community who just do not buy into it. At all.
Monsters Vs Aliens is ostensibly the story of charming bride-to-be Susan (Reese Witherspoon), who is transformed into a 50ft tall giant on her wedding day by a meteor which falls to Earth. Sent to a special government holding facility, where she meets fellow monster exiles B.O.B. The Blob (Seth Rogen), Dr Cockroach (Hugh Laurie) and the Missing Link (Will Arnett), she is soon freed, along with her motley crew of new pals, in a last-ditch attempt by the powers that be to combat an alien invasion.
"3-D is a distraction and an annoyance," writes the Chicago Sun-Times' Roger Ebert. "Younger moviegoers may think they like it because they've been told to, and picture quality is usually far from their minds. But for anyone who would just like to be left alone to see the darned thing, like me, it's a constant nudge in the ribs saying never mind the story, just see how neat I look.
"Billions of people for a century have happily watched 2-D and imagined 3-D. Think of the desert in Lawrence of Arabia. The schools of fish in Finding Nemo. The great hall in Citizen Kane. Now that flawless screen surface is threatened with a gimmick, which, let's face it, is intended primarily to raise ticket prices and make piracy more difficult. If its only purpose was artistic, do you think Hollywood would spend a dime on it?" he huffs.
"Monsters vs Aliens is skilfully animated and spasmodically funny, but you get the impression the film's seven (!) writers ran out of ideas two-thirds of the way through, opting for a conventional succession of overwrought combat sequences and feverish hyperbole," writes Time Out's Derek Adams. "The film is screened in both 3D and 2D, but aside from a handful of impressive 3D effects, you'd be equally well-served opting for the two-dimensional version."
Kim Newman of Empire magazine, however, begs to differ. "Shrek aside, DreamWorks CG 'toons have been eclipsed by Pixar's efforts, but this can go antennae-to-tentacle with the best of any studio – and leaves recent tagalongs like Bolt or Igor in the dust," he writes. "Besides a big heart, it has outstanding 3-D action sequences – including a showstopping tussle between the monsters and a giant robot egg on the Golden Gate Bridge – a sprinkling of snarky MAD magazine-style satirical gags (come in, Kiefer Sutherland as General W. R. Monger), clever walk-ons (Renée Zellweger upturns a set of clichés as the high-school girl whose jock date shrinks from her advances and breaks his ankle when a UFO arrives) and appealing semi-retro sci-fi design."
Our own Peter Bradshaw partially agrees. "It's all very good value," he opines. "Although I have a vague feeling that a gallery of freaky sci-fi creatures, as in Monsters Inc, may not engage the young audience's sympathies as much as humanoids. Great fun, anyway."
I enjoyed Monsters Vs Aliens' 1950s B-movie tropes, but this struck me as a contrived affair which follows a typically facile formula for the Hollywood animated blockbuster: populate with well known voices, attach to generic storyline, ensure a steady flow of one-liners to keep the audience giggling, and watch the bucks roll in. While the animators should be praised for producing a wonderfully stylised visual spectacular, the film never feels like anything more than the sum of its parts. If it were itself a creature from the movies, it would, perhaps, most closely resemble an android, perfectly resembling the real deal in all but the tiniest detail, yet lacking any real heart and soul.
I have to say that the 3D element still does it for me, 20 years after I first pulled on the oversized glasses. But while Pixar fare bristles with perfectly honed material and wonderfully idiosyncratic storylines, DreamWorks seems determined to continue mining a far less original seam. And with Pixar's John Lasseter now ensconced at Disney, the mouse house's animation department looks set to step up and join its studio sibling as a purveyor of mould-breaking, innovative fare: while it's not a patch on WALL-E or Ratatouille, this year's Bolt was way ahead of anything DreamWorks has produced since that first Shrek, eight years ago.
What did you think of Monsters Vs Aliens? And does 3D add an extra dimension in more than just a literal sense? As usual, we'd love to get your thoughts.

Thank you for visiting my Avvo Profile! Avvo's mission is to get consumers more information and better guidance regarding their legal issues. And we've found that an important byproduct of this is that we get great lawyers massive amounts of new business. It is truly a win-win for everyone involved.
Through this profile, I have received many eloquent and thoughtful emails from those Avvo has helped, both consumers and lawyers alike. Please keep those emails coming. I share them with the team and it makes all of the hard work worthwhile. I've also received a flame mail or two, and I encourage you to keep those coming as well. As long as it's in the name of constructive feedback, I'm happy to listen and possibly even start a dialogue.
Considering that I haven't really practiced law in the last decade, some have wondered (even publicly) why I have an Avvo Profile or an Avvo Rating. It's very simple: Avvo profiles and rates every licensed attorney it can find, and I'm one of them. If I were to walk into our research team and ask not to be profiled or rated, they would say "too bad!" – as they should. I hope this puts some of the conspiracy theories to rest. ;-)
Thank you again, and I look forward to hearing from you. You can see more of my musings on the Lawyernomics blog or in one of our upcoming webinars. Also, don't forget our annual Lawyernomics conference in Las Vegas where some of the brightest business minds come to teach lawyers how to be better marketers, business developers and, most importantly, listeners.

Chapter 1.1 : Fifth-Rank's GrayMature
Kaden is struggling through an exam period when Emma Gray appears and calls on a storm to the city of Amfer, causing a disruption and loss of Esper abilities among the city's people. And it also threatens to take away Emma's life if they don't stop the storm from rampaging.
I looked out of the balcony to my apartment, slapping my math workbook shut, now that I had finished my homework.
The clouds look like a storm would soon come, and that it would rain. Despite that, my apartment was hot like hell from the afternoon heat just an hour ago and I was tempted to turn on the air-conditioner despite being self-conscious of saving electricity.
At least it would rain soon. If it rained, I could open all windows and let the cool air breeze by.
After a moment of staring out at the skyline of the city of Amfer beyond my balcony doorway, I returned to my desk. In front of me were my workbooks from school, my writing tools, drawing tools, ruler, pen, a book on architecture, and another on famous buildings. And an opened envelope that I read just three weeks ago.
That was the last time I'd heard from my sister Mavis.
In the letter, she'd advised me not to worry about her. Unless I see a red star. Then I should worry about her.
Red star? Mavis likes to throw riddles or rhymes into her letters when she sends me one. Yes, letters, in this day and age, by bird, nonetheless, even though it was already in the middle of the 21st century where everyone goes by technology, emails, and phones. When I found the letter, it was tied to her falcon, Kisa, who I now kept in a cage, knowing that this would be what she wanted for her bird, so it doesn't fly back to her and get involved with whatever she was up to.
Anyway, my point is that, I think she meant that I should trust her to come home safe and sound, instead of worry about when someone says that she's in trouble. Which I get the feeling that she is in trouble, but she wants to handle it on her own.
Doesn't make me one bit happy about it, but oh well.
I got up and went to the couch, where I left all my homework from the whole week, sifting through them. Biology: finished. English literature: nope. Spanish: who needs it? French: I haven't written a word in the workbook. History: not interested. Esper stuff: Yada.
At that moment, I phone rang.
The call log had the picture of a blond guy in a green button-up shirt and sunglasses, showing the peace sign.
I tapped the answer button. "What's up, Ulrich?"
"You gotta turn on the TV right now! Turn it on!" Ulrich yelled in my ear. "Get to Channel 6! You gotta see that!" His voice sounded fair and there was the rustle of wind, too.
"Where in the world are you?" I demanded as I approached the TV and waved at the screen. It turned on and I swiped through the channels till I got to Channel 6, a 2/7 news and documentary channel and one of those that I enjoy watching because of those documentaries.
Right now, a journalist was reporting at what looked like a beach. The waves were rising and falling, and it was clear that the wind was really strong. But it looked like any other storm.
I recognized the beach: it was Amfer's beach, Blue Sands. Clouds were darkening in the sky behind the reporter.
What, a weather report?
"-winds blowing at a hundred kilometers an hour, but its clear that its artificial because there's a force responsible!" the reporter yelled into a microphone. "As of now, in the heart of Amfer, black clouds are gathering, and clumping together, appearing as though it will become a bad storm later this evening. As the cause of this phenomena is being observed, we advise everyone to get indoors in case something happens."
I scrambled out onto my balcony as Ulrich said, "You hear that? It sounds like a monsoon!"
"You baffoon! Monsoons are floods, not storms!" I yelled into the phone. "Shut up, the reporter's still talking!" I added before Ulrich could speak.
"As of now, the famed Esper scientist, Dr. Richard Avison, thinks that the cause of this phenomena may be of the Six Black Cards' abilities, and they're all currently undergoing a check to see if they are all right. But all the same, citizens, please stay indoors."
"The Black Cards?" I heard Ulrich mutter through the phone.
"Damn, it can't be - an Immorta Caste!" I gasped. "Ulrich, where are you?"
"I'm standing on top of the roof of our dormhouse. That vortex looks sweet over here!"
"GET THE HELL INTO YOUR ROOM RIGHT NOW, AND GUARD MY APARTMENT!" I yelled into the phone and hung up as I rushed out of my room. I'm sure that he would just shrug and obey cheerfully, with no question, but I was panicking.
An Immorta Caste? Right now?
Which Black Card idiot is responsible for it?!
To begin with, the Black Cards are all six famous Espers who are highly referred to as prodigies who have mastered their abilities. Esper, as in extrasensory perception, and a user of the sixth sense. About a third of Amfer's citizen population are Espers, since in other cities, Espers are always seen as weirdos.
Anyway, since the Black Cards have the ability to go far beyond normal Esper limits, som can find themselves out of power. To regain that, especially if they're in a fight, they could use the Immorta Caste, a move that creates a storm in the sky and draws out Esper abilities from nowhere.
But in order to be able to do that, you need to first warn the world, then be mindful of the price to use one.
In which case, this troublesome Black Card is not, and in other words, is just endangering a few certain peoples' lives.
I grabbed my hoodie jacket, pulling the hood over my head, and fled from my dormhouse, running towards the Heart of Amfer, in other words, the center of the city of Amfer that my school, the Falkland Academy, is not far from. I have to stop whoever it was before that person regrets it.
