Expect more from television reporters
Now I know the bar hasn't recently been set very high, especially in this market, but that needs to change.
Helena and Montana in general is a starting place for many television reporters. It is the bottom of the barrel as far as DMA Rankings go. Out of 210 television markets, Helena ranks 206 just ahead of Juneau, Alaska and yes Alpena, Michigan. Where is Alpena? Well, Michiganders ask themselves that same question about Helena.
Television reporters are constantly chasing the next best market and the next two-year contract. So when someone moves here from Florida for their first job, Montana viewers shouldn't expect them to stay long. The reporter wants to get to a bigger market where they don't make wages comparable to poverty level. Do I blame them? Heavens no!
I think the problem exists when viewers begin to expect a novice reporter, like myself, to do a sub-par job in the field.
Just because a reporter is fresh out of college, it doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to ask tough questions, write a strong story and put together a meaningful news product. Unfortunately, this has become the norm and what is expected.
I acknowledge most reporters, like myself, who run through this market stumble and make mistakes. However, I don't believe this should be the excuse for blubbering idiots and missing the point stories. After all, we did go to school for this, and Helena viewers deserve more. Just because the viewers live in a smaller town, it doesn't mean they are any less educated or their issues matter any less.
So, as a consumer of news, I urge you to expect more… and if we aren't delivering you do have the remote.
MTSentinel permalinkOctober 13, 2010 8:04 pm
Let's be honest. Most Montana press is really just conducting an extended job interview to work for a Montana Democratic Official or (the golden ticket!) for the Montana Democratic Party itself.
If you really want to up the ante on the quality of reporting, dare to take a look in the mirror and investigate the revolving door between the media and the Montana Democrats. And you wonder why fewer people read and watch…
October 13, 2010 9:39 pm
Don't quite agree with that assessment, particularly in a small market state like Montana.
I can think of a few media folks who have gone to work for GOP officials, by the way.
TRUE media folks wouldn't take a political gig anyway – the ones who do never had the "heart" to be a reporter, in my opinion, and are just following their fundamental love of PR and/or politics.
Margaret permalinkOctober 13, 2010 9:59 pm
I'm not sure it's about having the reporting 'heart'. The bottom line is broadcast reporters in this state do not make a living wage. Unless you're married or have a hefty trust fund to help pay the bills — the reporting life is hard. Your heart is *undoubtedly* in it when you commit to report in Montana.
MTLiberty permalinkOctober 13, 2010 8:08 pm
Marnee – no one starts off at the top of their career. Everyone makes mistakes and hopefully learns from them. FWIW, I think you are doing a good job and you seem to really enjoy it – which is a big plus. Keep up the good work and keep learning.
MTJumbo permalinkOctober 13, 2010 9:16 pm
I think this revolving door stuff is a little too conspiracy theorist. Next up, blaming people of a certain religion, or perhaps a particular sexuality. They're all in the media, too – huh? Marnee's post wasn't about this, but I have to respond to it. Stop acting like conservatives are this minority that is unspoken for, that hold no power and face oppression from all directions.
Marnee, you're doing a great job. Helena is a funny town. We have some of the worst reporters in the state here working side-by-side with some of the best. From what I've seen, and in such a short time – you've got one of those investigative minds. That's what true journalism is all about, and I hope we can keep you around for a while!
October 13, 2010 9:46 pm
As a viewer, I don't expect you to do a sub-par job in the field. I expect you to work your butt off and do the best job you can do. You represent Helena. You represent Montana. You are my link to the TRUTH, if you report the TRUTH. The trouble is, news reporters are people and people have opinions. In reporting, it is best to leave your opinion at home. I don't believe it is your job to persuade me one way or the other, but to give me the FACTS and encourage me to do a little critical thinking for myself to come up with my own opinion. As a TV reporter fresh out of college, you haven't been brow beat by the masses to do their bidding yet and so it is the attitude of critical thinking that they cram down our throats in college that I expect. Do that and my TV remote will start collecting dust.
Emilie Boyles permalinkOctober 13, 2010 9:46 pm
I have a very different take as a reporter in the smallest market in the nation, Glendive, market number 210 than you do Marnee.
Television markets are based on population not national impact. In a state with still untapped resources in energy and agriculture, vast areas of natural and undeveloped land, and a long history of innovation Montana reporters have both the burden and the responsibility of writing this chapter of American history as it happens and audiences in large markets are regularly picking up the work we do out here.
In no other market in the country other than the 200-210 DMAs will a reporter find easier access to national CEO's and members of congress eager to speak with them nor will they find it more difficult to find appropriate local documentation. In either case, the unique daily combination makes for the equivalent of playing the top level of a video game.
Whether it is the story of the modern cattle thief, the documentation of the birthing of a pipeline, a paleontological find, or service workers living in tent cities after being out-priced by highly paid rig workers, our job is onerous as, with the advent of the internet in this multi-faceted resource rush, we tell a story that has immediate impact locally and nationally despite small local viewship and whose work will judged decades if not a century from now for its accuracy and role.
This is my second career after having left college well over twenty years ago. After four years in market 210, this job pays barely more than minimum wage – but it is not the money nor even the recognition that comes with being the voice of the news on two television networks and multiple radio dials in 13 Montana counties that keeps me here. It is the contentment each night when I fall asleep, usually with my head on my keyboard, knowing that I have accurately and efficiently recorded the events of my vast area in a way that my listeners and viewers can understand, remember, and apply today and well into the future.
Jobs in our Montana markets should not be spun as a just-out-of-college job anymore than a company man working for an oil company without experience under his belt would be sent out the Bakkens. There's oil out in DMA 210 – but it took a long time for me to refine it from the Underwood I learned to type on to to the old selectric to the sharp black print from my modern Dell. To the my young, dissatisfied, just out of college colleagues: Stay as long as you can. Latch on to every new investigative technique you learn. File every business card away. As you go to larger markets the methods and the contacts, as in any game, will be more difficult and less obtainable. When you do get to the top, you may find a longing to return to a small market and use your cumulative work to re-tell the story you didn't have the skills for the first time around.
Jim Batcheller permalinkOctober 14, 2010 6:39 am
Hey Marnee, As one who has lived in both Montana and Michigan I have an appreciation for the hard work done by reporters in smaller markets. Keep up the good work! By the way, Segway is a brand name for one of those funny looking scooters. The word you're looking for is Segue.
October 14, 2010 1:53 pm
Obviously I am very bias in my comments, because I am the father of the blogger. I believe she is doing a great job but then I am very bias.
What concerns me is an underlying "issue" that doesn't necessarily have to do with journalism but rather a greater or broader "issue" and that is this: IT JUST SEEMS TO ME THAT PEOPLE IN ALL PROFESSIONS AND JOBS ARE "SATISFIED" JUST DOING THE JOB. Where has the desire for excellence gone in the American workplace? It is not just journalism, it is ministry, it is being a checkout person at the local grocery story. It seems to me to be epidemic in our society. There is just a lack of conern for doing the best job possible. People seem to be content with just barely doing the job and getting the pay check.

Pasco principal job draws some familiar faces
The vacancy created by Jim Michaels' retirement as Pasco Mitchell High principal has attracted a larger than usual pool of applicants, including some names familiar to the school and district.
Ridgewood High School principal Angie Murphy, a one-time Mitchell assistant principal, is on the list. So, too, is former Gulf High principal Steve Knobl, who quit the district in 2012 to run a local branch of Rasmussen College.
Jessica Schultz, one of Mitchell's current assistant principals, applied, as did Land O'Lakes High assistant principal Jeff Morgenstein, Wiregrass Ranch High assistant principal Shauntte Butcher, Wesley Chapel High assistant principal Danielle Johnson and Seven Springs Middle assistant principal Tracie Beerman. Seven Springs sits adjacent to Mitchell.
The job also has drawn from outside secondary schools. Trinity Oaks Elementary principal Allison Hoskins has bid for the post, as have Kelly Wisneski, a former elementary principal in Hillsborough schools, and Mary Jordan-Anstead, a director of Pepin Academies Pasco.
Interviews are being scheduled. Officials have said no candidate has the inside track. (As a side note, though, superintendent Kurt Browning often promotes assistant principals to a school's top job when the principal leaves.)

Good news folks! Spring is right around the corner and you know what that means – riding season! Unfortunately you cannot just pull your motorcycle out and take it for a spin on the first day of spring – You need to inspect the bike first to ensure it is 100% road ready. Below are a few tips for making sure your vehicle is ready for the road!
Your motorcycle has been sitting in the garage, shed, loft, storage unit (wherever you may store it) for the past 4-6 months. Tires guide the bike, they allow you to move or turn and if they're in poor condition it can affect the accuracy and safety of your bike. It is recommended to store the bike on a motorcycle stand during the winter months; this prevents the tires from developing flat spots. First you want to check the tire pressure and inflate them accordingly. You also want to check for any wear and tear. Specifically look for any balding or cracking of the rubber – If you see this, it is recommended that you replace the tire. Inspect the wheels to ensure they are no flat spots or dents or cracks and the spokes are problem-free.
Approximately 75% of a motorcycle's stopping power comes from the front brake. The brakes need to be thoroughly inspected prior to taking the bike out for a ride. Roll the bike back and forth; test the braking while doing this to ensure both the front and rear brakes properly engage. Check your brake pads for any wear indicators; if needed replace them now so you don't have to do it mid-season. Not changing the brake pads may result in more serious repairs later and compromises safety.
Check the ground below where your motorcycle was stored, the base of the engine and frame for any signs of a leak. If you notice a leak, trace back and figure out where the leak is coming from. Some can be fixed on your own, others may require the services of a mechanic.
If you followed recommendations in the fall for storing your bike, then you changed your oil prior to putting it in storage for the season – but if not, now's the time to do it! Follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding the type of oil to be used and how to properly change the oil or oil filter (or take your motorcycle to a mechanic). Check the brake, clutch and coolant fluids to ensure it is at an appropriate level and top off if necessary.
The motorcycle runs off its electrical system and the source of power comes from the vehicle's battery. Ideally your motorcycle battery has been plugged into a smart charger over the last few months. If not, charge the battery and check the levels with a multi-meter. If the battery isn't giving off a good voltage reading after a full charge, it may be time to purchase a new battery.
Check all levers and pedals to make sure they are not broken or bent. Lubricate them so they move freely. Take a look at the cables. Make sure they are not interfering with steering. Check if there are any folds, cuts, cracks or leaks on hoses and ensure they do not interfere with steering or suspension. Lastly, make sure the throttle moves freely.
Lights and Gauges
While the battery is plugged in, check your lights and gauges. Make sure your brake lights, signal indicators, headlights and all gauges light up. If not, replacing the bulbs is quite easy and can be done on your own.
Clean it up
Your has been idle for a while and has probably collected a bit of dust; it's now time to for a thorough cleaning to prepare it for the beautiful weather! You can also apply a wax coat which will make a big difference to how the bike looks and how long the paint lasts.
Always check your riding gear before you hit the road. Your helmet ensures your safety in case of a collision and you must ensure that it is in good condition every time you are on the road. Investing in your riding gear is non-negotiable from a safety point of view.
One of the most important tasks is to check your motorcycle insurance. If you don't have any, now is a good time to get one. Preferably, insure your bike with the same company that insures your home or car. You may qualify for a good discount of 10-15% on your motorcycle premium.
Spring is one of the most exciting as well as dangerous times of the year to ride. You haven't ridden for months and drivers haven't shared the roads in months. Take some time to warm up to the bike. Take it easy, take it slow, have fun. But remember -SAFETY FIRST!

8/7/13 – Hosed-Down Horse
It's county fair time here in Jackson County.
Despite some thunderstorms, the fair went on – muggy, sticky, and steamy.
For a horse, that means bath time, obviously.
8/6/13 – Nest
This is the stuff nightmares are made of.
Bald-faced hornet nest. Huge. Hanging.
To keep a safe distance, I stuck with the EF 85mm f/1.8 for this one.
Darkroom Woodshed, or How VSCO Beats the Film Companies At Their Own Game
VSCO Film recently released their newest set of film emulation presets, a lovely set of slide film reproductions that model classic Fuji, Agfa, and Kodak positive film.
And while the digital version of those classic films doesn't exactly mimick the original, it's enough to feed into the back-to-our-roots photographic trends that Instagram, Hipstamatic, and VSCO itself kick-started. Pros, amateurs, iPhoneographers – a lot of us are using film-style presets these days.
That got me thinking: why does it take a company like VSCO to come out with these film simulations? Why the hell didn't Fuji, Kodak, and Ilford – with their diminishing film stocks and questionable financial future – come out with this kind of product?
Why leave it to a digital competitor to develop a copy of your signature films?
No, VSCO-style simulations won't keep New York cities humming with manufacturing, but they could've helped film companies ease into the digital realm.
I take it that Fuji is doing okay with its new X-Series cameras. They're supplementing their film business with a great series of cameras – cameras that, yes, are simulating Fuji films like Velvia and Astia.
But Ilford? Kodak? Agfa? How are they doing in this modern photographic age? Are they comfortable with staying a hyper-niche product for hobbyists and the declining number of professional photographers who still use film?
Why not say, "Hey, no one knows our film better than we do. We'll help photographers simulate our classic films with a set of presets that we can sell for real money."
It used to be that film stock, with quality glass, was how you achieved a certain look. Velvia was different from Portra was different from Polaroid. Now, in the digital age, it's a combination of camera, software, lens, and (for those who use them) presets.
For film companies, their role in that process should be in the software/presets realm.
"Great photo!" an imaginary film company representative says. "Now make it look how you want it to look with our specially-engineered family of film simulations."
Instead, companies like VSCO swoop in with the right mixture of finesse and quality and eat the film companies' lunch. They also offer options for today's photo enthusiast: desktop and mobile software.
Kodak? Their mobile app offerings look like a messy discount aisle in a dimly-lit drug store: nothing but apps for purchasing film(!) and printing photos (that last one is pretty handy – at least they're encouraging people to keep printing photos).
Fuji is at least doing a bit better in this space. But still. Why keep those X-Series film simulation modes exclusive on the cameras? Why not make a few bucks selling a mobile camera app with those simulations, and beat VSCO at its own game?
I love Camera Noir and Hueless for my iPhone. But where is the Ilford app?
Don't get me wrong. There are tons of photo filter apps – more than one could ever want or use. But shouldn't the film companies be in this space and doing it better than anyone? Shouldn't they have been here first, for crying out loud?
Developing software and apps doesn't replace the film business. I get that. But what else are the film companies going to do? Wait it out like some passing phase?
When the world switches, you switch with it. As it stands, disrupting upstarts like VSCO are taking the film companies out to the darkroom woodshed.

8/5/13 – Majestic
Found in a random spot in the outside wall of an abandoned church in Albion, Mich.
8/4/13 – Red to Black
Early- to mid-June is raspberry season in Michigan. Everyone knows that.
But I didn't know that blackberries ripen in late July. And there they were. Smaller than the kind you usually buy in the store, and not quite as sweet. Finding a bush full of free ones, though, was all right.
My grandmother's house growing up had one of every kind of berry: red, white, and black raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and grapes. Diving into the pricker bushes was so worth it, just to get at those suckers.
8/3/13 – First Big Crop
It took a while, but this year's garden crop is finally starting to produce.
The plentiful rain, the sunshine – a totally different than the hot and dry weather we had last year here in Michigan.
Tomatoes, squash, green beans, zucchini. All the usuals. This year's new edition is cucumbers. I'm not a huge fan, but it's fun to grow something new.
Nice to see my vegetable budget pretty much disappear during these months, too.
8/2/13 – Waiting for Action
I pass almost nothing but farmland on the way into work. Vast soybean and corn fields.
Not sure exactly what this machine does, but it looks like it's waiting for something.
Really, I liked the colors of this scene on my way into work Friday morning. Stop in the middle of the road, check behind me for approaching cars, snap the photo, and drive on.
8/1/13 – Driveway Grass
Today's photo was a quick one – I hadn't pulled out of the driveway for my morning commute when I saw the sun reflecting (as it so often does) on my front lawn grass.
There are lots of pretty views on my way into work each morning. Usually the sun is rising over some mist-covered field, or the sky is painted with dawn colors. It's one of my favorite parts of the day, my morning drive.
It's getting to that time of year where the sun wakes up a little later each day, so by September the mornings will be perfect. Just perfect.
7/31/13 – Cruz David Booth
Welcome to the world, my newest nephew.

Erskine of Cester Co. Pa dec. from Archibald of Down
I'm not sure if anyone is lacking this information, but I'm a descendant of the Conns near Pittsburgh and we're distantly linked to Erskine.
There was a John Erskine who married Margaret Trainor and moved to Chester County, Pennsylvania.They are said to have had 10 children.
"John Erskine, born 1764, in Ireland, came to America about the same time as his sister Elizabeth & her husband Samuel Duchfield ( 1782 ). Also his mother MARGARET ( CRUMLEY ) ERSKINE and a twin sister to William ( no name for the twin sister )
John married Margaret Trainor. They lived in Chester County, Pennsylvania. They had 10 children. John died in 1858, and is buried at the cemetery at Great Valley Presbyterian Church in Chester County, Pennsylvania."
John was son of Robert and Margaret Crumley, Robert was son of Archibald Erskine, who was son of a Hugh Erskine.They all lived in Down County, Ireland(according to these findings).
Hopefully these findings are helpful.If anyone wants to contact me, feel free, especially if you have any information on Conns or Koenigs.

I won't lead a mass exodus of people toward this movie but it was pretty good. I expected this to be a lot worse after seeing Noah, but I was pleasantly surprised. The costumes and sets were amazing and some of the acting was quite good. I felt it was kind of strange to see Christian Bale as Moses and Joel Edgerton as Pharaoh Ramses. I was even more shocked to see Sigourney Weaver as an Egyptian (couldn't see that coming in her career). Sadly, I've seen this story before, although it was well done, nothing in the plot surprised me because I already knew just about everything about it. It's always nice to have a refresher on a great Biblical story but I'm not exactly sure why this film was made. I guess I have to give Ridley Scott some credit for not really being offensive like the movie Noah was handled.

Philippine officials in China to negotiate $15bn in business deals
Duterte steps up push to lure foreign investment amid 'separation' from US
CLIFF VENZON, Nikkei staff writer
MANILA -- Key Philippine cabinet officials are in China for a two-day visit through Tuesday to work out details of the $15 billion worth of investment deals that President Rodrigo Duterte bagged while in Beijing last year.
The delegation includes Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez, Budget Secretary Benjamin Diokno, Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Ernesto Pernia, Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade and Public Works Secretary Mark Villar, the Finance department said on Sunday.
The Philippine officials will separately meet Chinese Vice Premier Wang Yang, Commerce Minister Gao Hucheng and National Development and Reform Commission Chairman Xu Shaoshi. They also plan to meet top officials of sovereign wealth fund China Investment Corp.
They will discuss bilateral deals signed between by China and the Philippines last October, when Duterte made a four-day state visit to Beijing. Duterte's trip yielded $24 billion in deals, of which $9 billion are in the form of credit facilities and the rest through investments pledges.
Apart from infrastructure projects proposed during the visit, the officials will also discuss the Philippines' chairmanship of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations this year and its membership in the China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.
The trip follows a visit by a Chinese delegation to Manila in November, when they agreed to establish "structures of coordination" to implement the investment pledges.
Since coming to power on June 30, Duterte has steered a dramatic shift in foreign policy, reaching out to China -- with which the country has a territorial dispute in the South China Sea -- and Russia, while announcing a "separation" from the U.S., a longtime treaty ally.
The change has seen the Philippines, hungry for foreign direct investment, win investment pledges from Beijing and -- according to Duterte -- offers from Moscow for discounted arms.
To counter China's diplomatic courtship with the Philippines, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe pledged 1 trillion yen ($8.7 billion) in official development assistance and investment over the next five years during his visit to Manila earlier this month.

Railroad commission won't halt injection wells despite Austin protest
"Stop injection wells now."
That was the battle cry Tuesday in Austin — along with an improvised Elvis song — as dozens of North Texas residents from Azle and surrounding communities crowded into a Texas Railroad Commission meeting in Austin to make their case.
The commissioners listened to the speakers but they made no indication that they would impose a 90-day moratorium on injection wells. The wells are used by drilling companies to dispose of frack water and other byproducts of the Barnett Shale wells that use hydraulic fracturing to extract oil and gas deposits.
The Railroad Commission has inspected all the waste-water injection wells within a 15-mile radius of the earthquake epicenters in Azle and surrounding communities. Only one failed and it has since been shut in.
Commissioner chairman Barry Smitherman said the commission is limited in what it can do, but it has asked the Texas Legislature for greater authority to rule on matters such as disposal wells.
Residents reiterated the concerns that they raised at a Jan. 2 hearing that drew more than 800 people to Azle High School. They talked about the sheer terror of the earthquakes that leave cracks in the wall, leave sinkholes in the ground and give children nightmares.
Many called for the oil and gas companies to be held accountable for the earthquake damages at their homes.
"Contractors don't build our homes to withstand earthquakes," one speaker said.
Another speaker said, "We don't know if there's any damage to the actual slab on our foundation because we have carpet. But I'm sure there probably is. Who would have ever thought we would need earthquake insurance?"
One man performed his own version of Elvis Presley's hit song "All Shook Up," complete with an acoustic guitar, although he changed the lyrics to "I'm in Azle. I'm all shook up."
He told commissioners he wrote the song on the bus ride to Austin.
Several speakers also raised concerns about earthquakes permanently damaging the cement casing that drillers put on the natural gas wells to protect the water supply. If earthquakes crack the concrete, there's concern about methane leaking into the water supply in an area where residents rely on that aquifer.
"My god, how can one inch of cement maintain the integrity of all these wells?" one speaker asked. "We're going to have hundreds of thousands of wells up there that have been shaken and rattled."
Speakers also attacked the Texas Railroad Commission's website, saying it's hard to find relevant information on these disposal wells.
The Railroad Commission will launch a redesigned site in February that Rister said will be more user friendly than the current site.
The commission is in the process of hiring a seismologist in response to the earthquake outbreak and has received 11 applications so far, said Milton Rister, the commission's executive director. Academic studies have come out on both sides of the argument and Rister declined to give testimony on them because he's not an expert in that field.
"I'm not a seismologist and for that reason I have, rather than reference those reports, at this point I thought we might wait until we have someone who can translate the reports," Rister said.
Several residents also noted that the earthquake outbreak stopped during the Christmas and New Years holidays.
Smitherman, who is seeking the Republican nomination for Texas Attorney General, asked officials to research whether drillers used the disposal wells during the holiday season when the earthquake activity died down.

It is sad to say but summer is slowly coming to an end. In memory of this wonderful summer that we've enjoyed I have decided to create a new list every Friday for the month of August of 5 of my top/favourite summer beauty products. The first list as you can tell by the title are my 5 top nail polishes. All of these are ones that I wore repeatedly throughout the summer, and I just adore these colours! They are listed below in no particular order.
1. Essie's Tart Deco. The photo does not do this colour any justice. It's a beautiful coral and perfect for the summer months.
2. Essie's First Timer. Aqua is one of my favourite colours and this has been the best aqua shade I have found.
3. Essie's Tour De Finance. I love wearing this vibrant pink polish, It makes me feel extra girly!
4. O.P.I Rosy Future. This has been my go to natural shade and I love that it has a soft pearl pink hue to it.
5. O.P.I Bright Lights Big Color. It's orange and shimmers, need I say more?
What is your favourite summer polish?

The new video is up!
[embedplusvideo height="358″ width="584″ editlink="http://bit.ly/1Eaegeu" standard="http://www.youtube.com/v/rLME0TA8_NQ?fs=1″ vars="ytid=rLME0TA8_NQ&width=584&height=358&start=&stop=&rs=w&hd=0&autoplay=0&react=1&chapters=¬es=" id="ep4121″ /]
Now I've already stated this before, but let me state it again. The whole thing is in high-speed, or fast-forward, or whatever you want to call it really. I know it comes across as comic, but I didn't know how else to condense 30 minutes worth of cooking into five minutes or less. & let's be honest, if you're anything like me, your attention starts to dwindle after the first three minutes.
I'm not saying you have a short attention span, I'm saying I do & I respect that others might as well.
I also had no idea of just how much my GoPro was picking up. Usually when I cook, I use my sink as a convenient little trash can & then clean it all up in the end. You'll notice this in the video. I hadn't thought that it would show up so I just continued to toss things in there as normal. This is just habit since it's conveniently close & I don't want to leave a mess on my counters. I'll keep it in mind for the next video though so it doesn't look like an eye sore.
Really at this point, I think what I would like is some feedback. I want to know if my "viewers" (all six subscribers) prefer it when I'm on one of my epic rants, or they like my silent, fast forwarded tutorials that show the prep. I really can't tell yet.
Right, I don't think I have any more comments, just the recipe.

1. combine everything except the basil in your blender & puree. You may need to do this in several batches so you don't end up with tomato juice all over your blender & counters.
2. transfer the puree to a large pot, add the basil & bring to a boil. Cook for about 20 minutes on high heat & then reduce down to medium-low & simmer. You will need to cook it for an hour or more, or until all the excess liquid has evaporated & you are left with a thick tomato paste. Use what you need for the pizzas, the rest can be stored in the freezer.
***TIP: I always make this in a large batch, usually enough for 6 to 8 pizzas. It is the most time consuming part of the pizza making process because it takes time to cook off all the extra liquid, so, knowing this I make it in bulk so I can satisfy my pizza cravings pretty instantly. You want to cook off all the extra liquid, this is important because if it's too runny, you'll just end up with a soggy pizza crust. ***
Pizza dough, ingredients: (makes 2 pizzas, I can eat a whole on by myself, but I'm a champion eater, so really this can serve 3 people)
– 45g brown rice flour
– 50g buckwheat flour
– 45g sorghum flour
– 90g tapioca starch
– 1 tbs instant yeast
– 1 & 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1 tsp paprika
– 20g sugar
– 60ml warm water
– 1 egg + 1 egg white
– 20ml olive oil
Pizza dough, directions:
1. combine all the dry ingredients in the bowl of your stand mixer. Give them a quick whisk to combine, & then create a well in the centre.
2. place the water, eggs & oil in the well. fit your mixer with the dough hook attachment, & let it run until everything is thoroughly combined.
3. remove the bowl from your mixer. Bring all the dough together to form a ball, lightly coat with olive it & place it back in the bowl. Cover the bowl tightly with clingfilm & place in a warm place to rise for 1 to 3 hours.
Pizza toppings, ingredients: (this is just what I like, you can top it with anything you like!)
– 200g cheddar
– 200g mozzarella
– 1 sweet red pepper
– 1 small red onion
– 5 button mushrooms
– 4 strips of bacon
– a handful of frozen spinach
– 2 eggs
– 1 tomato
Pizza assembly, directions:
1. cut 2 round pieces of parchment paper the same size as your pizza stone. Place your pizza stone in the oven & preheat the oven to 250C
2. cut all your vegetables & bacon to the desired sizes you want. I like long, thin strips, but that's just my personal preference.
3. take one round of parchment paper, dust with flour (any of the above flours will work). Place had of your pizza dough in the centre, dust with more flour & roll out to fit the size of the parchment.
4. cover the dough with a generously heaped spoon of sauce & spread it evenly bringing it to all the edges. Lightly drizzle with olive oil.
5. begin to pile on all of your toppings (except the egg if you choose to add it).
6. once the oven has reached temperature, transfer the pizza onto your pizza stone (along with the parchment) & bake for 12 minutes. At 12 minutes, add the egg to the centre of your pizza & bake for another 3. If you don't want an egg on your pizza, just bake the whole thing for 15 minutes.
***TIP: I know an egg on your pizza sounds weird, but trust me, it's amazing. It's cooked just long enough for the white to be completely cooked, but the yolk is still runny. Trust me, when you cut into the pizza & you can dip it in that yolk, it is heaven. ***

Mr. Jason Bak reports
Solar Alliance Energy Inc. is providing additional information regarding the potential revenue from the pipeline of projects associated with the letter of intent signed with Thompson Machinery Commerce Corp. to acquire Aries Solar LLC. Pursuant to the LOI, announced July 10, 2017, Solar Alliance will acquire all of the assets of Aries, including a pipeline of commercial projects. The Aries team consists of experienced commercial solar project developers and technical staff that will enhance Solar Alliance's ability to increase commercial project deal flow across the company's operations in California, the Northeast United States and the Southeast U.S.
There are 45 projects at various stages including prospecting, proposal and contract negotiations. The total potential revenue from all projects if built is approximately $18,838,000 (U.S.). The potential net profit that may be derived from the projects if built is approximately $3.79-million (U.S.). The company anticipates the projects in the pipeline will be financed through a variety of third party mechanisms that will provide financing for equipment and other costs of goods. Solar Alliance will be required to cover payroll costs associated with the new Aries team once the acquisition is complete, however, the company does not anticipate a material financing requirement to move the projects through the various development stages to installation. Under the terms of the LOI, the purchase price for 100 per cent of Aries Solar LLC is a contingent payment of $1-million (U.S.). Solar Alliance will allocate 20 per cent of net income from the current Aries project pipeline to Thompson Machinery until such time as the contingent payment is fulfilled. Commercial projects signed after the acquisition are not subject to the net income allocation described above. There is no guarantee that all of the projects in the pipeline will reach the installation stage.
Aries is an established turnkey commercial solar energy solution provider with industry experts that focus on engineering, procurement and construction needs. Aries is licensed to operate in four Southeast U.S. states and collectively its professionals have installed five megawatts of solar, including several high-profile installations.
Further details regarding the acquisition will be announced when a definitive transaction agreement is reached with the seller. Completion of the proposed transaction agreement remains subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions precedent, including further due diligence and required TSX Venture Exchange approval.
Solar Alliance is a sales, marketing and development company focused on residential, commercial and industrial solar installations. Since the company was founded in 2003, it has developed wind and solar projects that provide enough electricity to power 150,000 homes.

Stevec2283's Activity
Stevec2283 added a post in a topic Steve's Journey(A Fresh Start)Today is Day 3 of my game free life and so far things have been going well except a couple of times I thought of gaming, but I've stuck to my guns. I know that over time these urges to play games will pass, so for now I just need to endure them and do other things to try and keep my mind off of gaming.
I really need to find other activities to replace gaming. Some things that helped me in the past that I'm going to try and reincorporate into my daily routine are things like reading, learning a new language, playing guitar and physical activities such as walking. I will also try not to allow stress to get the better of me and cause me to want to go back to gaming. I really need to fight this time and as I've said before, if I was able to be successful in the past, then I can be successful moving forward and overcome gaming once and for all.
I no longer want to live my life in the virtual world but want to live in the real world.
Stevec2283 added a post in a topic Steve's Journey(A Fresh Start)Here's a link to my previous journal
Stevec2283 added a topic in Daily JournalsSteve's Journey(A Fresh Start)This a fresh new start for me so I decided to start a new topic. I've been saying for awhile that I would be quitting video games and I would start and maybe go a day or so but then I would immediately make excuses as to why I should play video games and that I could even play in moderation. But after so many relapses I've come to the realization that moderation doesn't work for me, it's either that I play video games regularly or I don't play them at all, there is no in between for me.
I realize that this journey is not going to be easy and that there will be bumps along the way but I know from previous success that it's possible for me to quit gaming. I need to learn from my previous mistakes and work at not repeating them. Gaming is something that I want to completely remove from my life. It once controlled my life but I want to take back control.
I restarted my journey to a game free life on Sept 06 and so far it has been going well, I haven't really had any urges to play video games. As I said before, it's not going to be easy but I know that I can be successful.

Stevec2283 added a post in a topic Time for something newToday is Day 1(yeah I know, I sound like a broken record) and I want to be successful this time in quitting gaming. I really need to try and figure this one out and it frustrates me that at one point I was doing so well and had over 30 days game free but rather than beat myself up over it, I'd much rather learn from it and move forward.
So far my day has been pretty good and I haven't really had any urges to play games. I'm going to try to go back to what worked for me before and that is to plan my days.
Stevec2283 added a post in a topic Time for something new@Cam Adair The excuse that I usually use is that I need something to fall back on in order to deal with stress.
Stevec2283 added a post in a topic Time for something new😄
Stevec2283 added a post in a topic Time for something newToday is day 1 and so far my day has been going well. I haven't had any urges to play games but then again I haven't really had time to think about games because I was gone all morning and I've been working all afternoon and will work until later tonight.
I've decided that I'm going to take a look back at what made me successful in the past and learn to use it this time around.
Stevec2283 added a post in a topic Time for something newThat I'm good at making excuses as to why I should play games.
Stevec2283 added a topic in Main RoomWord related game(ie. Scrabble, etc.)Just wondering what everyone's thoughts were regarding mentally engaging games such as Scrabble and other word related games online, are they video games or not?
To me, it's something to get you thinking, but with that being said it can also be addicting. So I don't know if I should play them or not.

Stevec2283 added a post in a topic Time for something newI've decided to come back again and give quitting gaming another go.
I've lost count of the number of times I've tried to quit. I'd quit for awhile and then I'd start again, it has been an endless cycle and something that I've been really struggling with.
I'm tired of allowing myself to be controlled by something that is a complete waste of valuable time, time that can be spent doing more meaningful things. I've decided that, starting tomorrow I will quit gaming and use my time wisely.
I know that this will not be easy but I've seen how some of you have been able to complete the 90 day detox and beyond that, so I know that it's possible for me as well.
Stevec2283 added a post in a topic Time for something newI've been lurking for awhile now and I've been seeing how well you're all doing. Glad that you're all doing well.
It has been awhile since I've been here and things have been going pretty good for me. I did for awhile go back to playing games. Gaming was almost like a security blanket, something I could go to if I was stressed, but of what benefit is gaming, things didn't change and all gaming was is a temporary escape.
Today is day 2 of my game free life. I need to face things head on and stop using the things going on in my life as an excuse to play games. I need to find other worthwhile activities and do those instead.
No matter how many times I fall, I'm going to keep picking myself back up and keep fighting.
Stevec2283 added a post in a topic Time for something newI've gave it some thought and have decided that right now there are some personal things I have to attend to, so I will be focusing my attention on these. For this reason I will be leaving the forum and I'm unsure as to when I will be back.
To all those who've tried to help me since I joined, I say thank you and to Cam, thanks for your support as well.
Also to Cam, for right now, please delete my account and whenever I return, I will make a fresh start.
I wish everyone at the Gamequitters forum all the best.
Stevec2283 added a post in a topic Time for something newToday is day 9 in my game free life, I've been struggling with other personal matters outside of gaming which has made things quite difficult. There are times that I'm not sure if I can keep going and I sometimes wonder where I should really be focusing my attention, either to quitting gaming or dealing with the personal issues. I really need to think about what's better for me at the moment.
Stevec2283 added a post in a topic Time for something newToday is day 7 of my game free life and so far it has been going well and I've had very few times that I've thought about gaming. Even though I'm not gaming, I still struggle with being productive and I often find myself doing things just to avoid gaming. One area I still struggle with is spending hours watching videos on Youtube, and yes I'm not gaming but I'm not being productive either, I'm only wasting time that I could spend doing other things are worthwhile. I'm going to work towards being more productive and waste less time.
Things I want to accomplish:
-Be more active(started)
-Do more reading(started)
-Waste less time(WIP)
This journey is not going to be easy and there are going to be bumps in the road but I know that it's possible. Even if I should fall, I will pick myself back up and keep moving forward. Even though I've failed in the past, I'm not going to let it weigh me down...Whats done is done and all I can do now is forget the past and move forward.
Stevec2283 added a post in a topic Time for something newLater today will be 1 day since I quit gaming, I really need to figure it out this time. As I've said in a previous post, gaming for me was a way to escape stress or to temporarily forget whatever I was dealing with. I really need to try and find other activities that I can use as a coping mechanism so I can handle stress better.
I know that this is not going to be easy and it'll take a lot of effort on my part but I know that I can do it. I've been trying since January to beat this and with minimal success, but rather than focus on what's already been done, I will leave the past in the past and move forward.
