Scientists are stunned to find that a crater in Antarctica that was once thought to be formed after a meteorite crashed into the earth has actually formed due to increasing temperature which has resulted in melting of ice.
Global warming has started showing its effect that can be catastrophic in future. Unprecedented climate change, drought, increasing temperature and untimely rain are some of its effects. Similarly, the Roi Baudouin ice shelf located in East Antartica also melt down to form lake which later drained and left a big hole.
Although the Roi Baudouin crater has existed in satellite images of 1989 but scientists first noticed it in January 2015. It was a 3 kilometre wide circle. Scientists, earlier thought it to be formed due to meteorite, but the recent study says that ice melt has resulted into the giant hole.
"That was a huge surprise," Stef Lhermitte, an earth science researcher at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and at the University of Leuven in Belgium, said in a statement. "Moulins typically are observed on Greenland. And we definitely never see them on an ice shelf."
East Antarctica has always been a mystery for the scientists. For the recent study, researchers combined the climate modelling and satellite data and found that the east Antarctica is more vulnerable to melting. According to researchers, warm wind blowing in the region plays a major role in melting the ice and then blowing the snow cover which leaves holes and darkened surface.
In addition, dark surface hidden beneath the snow cover absorbs more heat from the sun which further increases the temperature and increases the ice melt.
Some scientists previously believed that the hole is a result of strong ice melt in the region and meteorite cannot create such hole in that area. "The amount of meltwater differs immensely from year to year, but it clearly increases during warm years," said Jan Lenaerts, a climate researcher at Utrecht University in the Netherlands and at the University of Leuven. "Our research now suggests that the much larger East Antarctica ice sheet is also very vulnerable."
The study appeared in the journal Nature.


text: I absolutely adore this growing family. They were such troopers to stick out a windy and chilly Saturday morning session. But we were able to capture some beautiful images. Jay is going to be a wonderful big brother to his soon to be sibling. Over the last few weeks of talking Jana about the session and meeting them finally last Saturday its incredibly evident that they are already so in love with baby Morgan. Congrats again you two!!

text: The U.S. Gulf of Mexico offshore rig count increased for the third consecutive week, according to Offshore Data Services' weekly mobile offshore rig count. Today, the U.S. Gulf rig count stands at 151, a one-rig increase since last week. Total fleet size is unchanged at 191 rigs. Fleet utilization this week is 79.1 percent. The European offshore rig count is unchanged from last week. Of the 107 mobile offshore drilling rigs deployed in the area, 74 are under contract to oil and gas companies. European offshore rig fleet utilization is a lackluster 69.2 percent. No significant increase in European offshore rig demand is expected in the near term due to continued volatility in worldwide oil prices. The one-rig increase in the worldwide offshore rig count reflects the like increase in the U.S. Gulf. This week, 480 of the world's 632 mobile offshore drilling units are under contract. Worldwide offshore rig utilization is 75.9 percent.

Don't let the above term worry you. Financial management is no more complicated than your childhood piggy bank i.e. if the piggy bank is empty you can't buy your comics or candy unless you are able to persuade the convenience store manager you can pay him next week or you can persuade your parents to give you an advance on your pocket money.
The basics of financial management is therefore making sure your business collects enough cash from its clients to cover all its bills in a given period. We help you gather this information in suitable (and easy to use) systems and then we analyze the health of your company's short term cashflow so you know what bills you can afford to pay and when.
We help you think through your business model, asking you a ton of simple questions so we can answer more complex questions such as:
This analysis is often referred to as your Unit Level Economics (jargon alert!). Having this information at your fingertips will ensure you truly understand your business which will not only make you feel empowered and alert but will also help you to make better and more informed management decisions.
No, financial modeling isn't Cindy Crawford covered in dollar bills! Financial modeling is particularly useful when you want to consider the future of your company's finances and understand how to turn your vision a reality.
Perhaps you've been operating on a shoestring budget for a while and are wondering how you can afford expansion. You know you need to raise some money but how much do you need and when do you need it?
Simple Startup works with you to prepare a set of projected financial statements / proformas (that you understand) to determine the answer to these questions. We will work with you to translate your vision into a fully customizable and adjustable (by you!) financial model that shows when you have a cashflow problem and how big that problem is. This in turn allows us to work together to decide how much money you need to raise and when.
Once you know how much money you need and when you need it, the next step is to understand what kind of capital (wonga/cash/monaaay) will be most appropriate to raise. While the interest on a loan (debt) together with set up fees sounds expensive, selling ownership (equity) in your company could come at a considerably higher price in the long run.
If selling equity is preferred, we'll need to have an understanding of the value of your business to determine what proportion of ownership you need to give up to satisfy your company's cash needs. In addition, it is crucial to to understand how the terms of the equity investment (option pools, warrants and preferred stock – jargon, jargon, jargon!) continue to dilute your ownership into the future. Conversely, if you are looking to get a business loan, you will want to know if your company's expected income can cover the loan obligations and interest payments.
The Simple Startup Finance team will work with you to overcome all of these eventualities and ensure you are best prepared to tackle these challenges.

Bingo raid in Portugal
In Portugal, 28 British and Irish expatriates and vacationers have been fined after police caught them playing bingo for biscuits and drinks, reports BBC News. Landlady Marianne Pittaway was fined 700 euros ($950) for hosting the game at The Yorkshire Tavern in Albufeira. She also received a four-month suspended prison sentence. Even some of the people in the bar who were not playing bingo were fined 150 euros ($200) and given a three-month suspended sentence for "witnessing illegal gambling."
Terrorism and smoking
The stress of attacks on 9/11 caused an estimated one million former U.S. smokers to pick the habit up again, according to a Weill Cornell Medical College public health study. The research is the first to look at the net costs to society of "terrorism-induced smoking" in the United States after 9/11 and the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. Although there is a consensus that stress is a "very large motivator for individuals to use substances," the stress effects of large-scale events on substance use has not been widely studied. While the Oklahoma City bombing didn't affect cigarette-smoking rates in the country, 9/11 caused a significant 2.3 per cent increase nationwide.
Bigger desk, more crooked?
"Businessmen who sit behind enormous desks in cavernous offices are more likely to become greedy because their surroundings make them feel more powerful, a [U.S.] study suggests," reports The Daily Telegraph. "Having a sense of power can encourage a range of dishonest behaviour ranging from stealing and cheating to breaking traffic laws, researchers said. Psychologists carried out four studies to assess how our physical surroundings, for example having a big desk at work or even large car seats, can affect how people feel and behave. They found that although people tend not to notice minor changes in body posture, subtle alterations as a result of their surroundings can dramatically influence how they act." Expansive postures can lead people to behave dishonestly and take more greedy decisions, the studies showed.
Best faces for a fling?
Apparently, facial features are important when a man or a woman considers a fling, according to research published in the British Journal of Psychology. The study investigated whether considering partners for long-term short-term relationships would affect men's preferences for different women's faces. The results showed that men in relationships were more likely to find women with feminine faces most attractive when they were looking for a short-term relationship. Dr. Anthony Little of the University of Stirling said: "It's interesting that these findings are comparable to previous research that indicates women's preference for masculine male faces are higher if they were judging for short-term relationships." The study also found that men who think themselves attractive have stronger preferences for femininity than those who think themselves less attractive.
The pulse in your face
"A video of your face can now accurately reveal your pulse," says the New Scientist. "A new system, developed by Guha Balakrishnan and colleagues at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, measures heart rate by analyzing tiny head movements caused by blood flow to the head, which are invisible to the naked eye. Using face recognition, it identifies a face and then typically selects hundreds of random points close to the person's mouth and nose. Movement is then tracked frame by frame, before filtering out frequencies that fall outside the range of a heartbeat to eliminate movements caused by breathing and changes in posture. Tests reveal that pulse measurements were consistent with those produced by electrocardiograms, varying by just a few beats per minute."
Thought du jour
"When the grasshopper gathers its strength to hop, it does not know where it will land. So it often is with poets." I can't find this quote on Google.
– Gerald Brenan, British writer (1894-1987)

She takes it completely inside her, and makes it disappear! Then she goes off to a resort area where she's hiding a lime in her vagina just like she did with the cell phone, and dances around, giving us gaping sneek peeks of the green fruit deep inside her! Then she takes two more limes, and gets all three inside, filling her up with green! Watch as she gapes and pushes them out. Out poolside, she does some foot fetish play, where she sucks on her toes (both of them at the same time!) and stuffs a toe into her vagina, as well as rub her clit with her heel.

It's hard to tell if the driver of this hyperlapse video had a great GPS or a really bad one because they took several back roads to get to Vancouver.
Everyone knows, the fastest way from California to Vancouver is the I-5 freeway but this videographer decided to take the scenic route to film this hyperlapse.
It can take over 18 hours to drive from San Francisco to Vancouver so you can imagine how much footage was squished into this three minute video. I hope you like it!

Chapter 42 snippet (all new writing)
Published by captain kate in the blog captain kate's blog. Views: 89
Running a hand through her wet hair, Kate stared out the window. Sighing, she kicked herself again. She had played right into Ferini's hands yesterday, she reminded herself, and it had tickled him immensely. Of course he wanted to punish her! She had managed to make him look like a fool by escaping.
Of course using the Chief and Paul against me helped too, she snorted.
Behind her, the door slid aside and she heard three sets of feet enter. Not bothering to turn around, she knew who it was. Of course he couldn't resist making an appearance, she mused, and it was beyond Ferini's ability to not gloat!
Choosing to be silent, she waited for him to speak. There was no way she was going to initiate the conversation, she told herself. His entire visit was to tweak her, and she wasn't going to give him to satisfaction of walking into the trap.
"Katie," he said, cheerful. "You look great this morning!"
No thanks to you, she wanted to say, but keeping it to herself.
"You know," Ferini said. "You can be more talkative. You and I are going to spend lots of time together now."
Try as she might, that was enough to make her throw her plan away. How dare he say they were going to be together! If anything, she told herself, she was going to break out quicker this time! Too much was at stake for her to spend to time futzing about with him.
"We're not going to spend any time together," she snorted, staring out the window still.
"Au contraire," he said. "You're mine now…and I will do with you as I please."
She spun around to face him, eyes blazing. Who did he think he was? She wasn't a piece of property, she mused, for him to play with when he wanted. If he wanted something like that, he needed to get a pet!
"'Do with as you please,'" she mocked. "Just like you did when I was growing up? When you raped me repeatedly?"
"You wound me, Katie," he said, hands going to his chest. "You forget: I legally owned you then and could do with you as I pleased."
"But now I'm an Alliance citizen," she said. "Which means you don't own me anymore. How about that, sport?"
"Necko doesn't recognize the Alliance's authority," he said with a caustic laugh. "Therefore, it's a moot point."
That would make for an interesting intergalactic legal question, she snorted.
"Ether way," she said. "You don't own me…no one does."
"As far as I'm concerned," he said. "And the law of Necko says, I've never stopped owning you. You're still my property until I either see fit to release you, or eliminate you."
Shaking her head, she looked at him with hard eyes. He was so smug, she told herself, that his position was so unbeatable. All it would take is one mistake and she could break his neck! One false move…and it could all be over!
"That is if I don't kill you first," she said, staring into his eyes.
"Katie," he chuckled. "You've turned into one aggressive, thankless woman. What has gotten in you?"
"You got into me," she said, looking out the window again. "This is your doing."
"My doing?" He shrugged. "I had nothing to do with this."
"You bastard," she snapped. "You were the cause of this, and you know it!"
"I didn't do anything untoward," he smiled. "All I did was enjoy myself with my property."
"There you go again," Kate sighed. "Calling me your property. Well, Ferini, you're 'property' is now damaged goods!"
"Not from where I stood," he said. "You handled more men then you ever could."
She chuckled as every piece fell into place. His entire desires appeared before her eyes. He wanted to try to breed off her, she mused, chuckling. It was too bad that his guard had ruined that for him five years ago!
"That's not the entire equation," she said. "You psychotic son of a bitch,"
"What are you talking about?"
And here comes the kicker, she thought, licking her lips.
"When your guard threw that grenade," she said. "He not only destroyed most of my body…he also took away my ability to reproduce. Which means…you can't breed me for warriors like you wanted to do!"
For a moment, his face darkened before it cleared. It was during that split second that she knew she had beaten him. His plans, his hopes, were now dashed and that made her smile in triumph. Take that, you bastard, she reflected.
"That's too bad," he said, his cheer gone. "But that doesn't mean I can't enjoy myself…"
Snapping his fingers, the two guards stepped forward. Kate's eye grew large as she realized what was going to happen. The son of a bitch was going to rape her again! If he couldn't breed her, she realized, then he was going to take what he wanted without reservations.
My big mouth just got me in trouble again, she thought, frowning. I've just sealed myself into my own hell!
"Check her well," he said. "She's a sneaky one."
Knowing her bionics was powered down she wasn't going to resist. What was the point when the two of them could overpower her? No matter how miserable the experience was going to be, nothing could prevent it now. The only thing she could do was to sit back and take it.
And plot on how to kill him, she thought.
The two guards grabbed her and turned her around. Slamming her into the wall, she felt the cold metal on her cheek. One of the men kicked her feet apart, leaving her open and exposed.
With her arms pressed into the metal, above her head she was helpless to stop the men. A set of hands started feeling her neck, before moving down. Cupping her breasts in his hands, the guard gave them a squeeze. Growling in her throat, he reached back and slapped her exposed cheek. The stinging pain silenced her.
That bastard dies first, she told herself, closing her eyes.
Rubbing her flat stomach, the guard reached her hips. He examined her buttocks before stepping back. With a soft sigh, she knew it wasn't over yet; in fact, it was just beginning.
"She's clear, sir,"
Ferini slipped behind Kate, his breath on the nape of her neck. She closed her eyes, swallowing hard to push the bile down her throat. The very idea of his hands touching her, she mused, was enough to make her sick!
"You know how much I missed you?" He asked, kissing her neck softly.
Like I really give a ****, she thought, trying to keep her tears back.
He placed pecks of affection on her cheek as his hands trailed down her body. Grasping her buttocks on them, he rubbed them lovingly. Squeezing them, he brought as gasp of surprise from her. Reaching around to her torso, he ran his hands up.
She heard the sound of her jumpsuit being unzipped…

Yesterday, while I was out fighting traffic, I heard a radio host talking about the weird idea that time might actually be speeding up. I'd heard the notion before and since it was new and mind-boggling, I became boggled briefly and then moved on before I had nightmares.
When I heard it again yesterday, it didn't sound quite so alien. I listened to them until the radio host and his guest took a turn in the road and left me on my own path. I was immediately caught up in the idea, assimilating it into my brain, trying to get a grasp on what it would actually mean to people living on planet Earth, if time was, indeed, passing faster. I tried to figure out how we would even know, how it might even be possible for such a thing to happen.
I thought about the idea that time was simply a matter of light and its passing by us, through us, away from us, reflecting, refracting, and so on and so forth, until I was boggled again. I had to start over.
We, humans, measure time by mathematically dividing geometric shapes into uniform segments. I hate math!! I like geometry a little and I try, try, try to understand how all of it fits into my daily life. We measure our days by the earth's rotation into and out of the light of the sun. We measure our years by the earth's revolution around the sun. Spheres, circles, oblate spheroids, ovals, spirals… It took me a long time to understand that the Earth does not move in simple oval patterns around the sun, but rather, it moves in spirals, oval spirals because as the Earth moves around Sol, it also moves WITH Sol through Galactic Space because Sol is moving in an orbit around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. Furthermore, Sol moves in even bigger spirals because the Milky Way Galaxy is moving around the center of the local galactic group and so on and so forth. Spirals, spirals. If everything in the Universe is moving in spirals, then we are not just moving forward and backwards in a flat plane, but also moving up and down, which gives us the three dimensional Universe, up, down and sideways. Height, depth and width.
This brings us back to time. We are also moving through time, they say, which gives us the fourth dimension. I can't seem to grasp that. Our movement through space actually creates time, when we apply mathematics to it. It makes more sense to me to think that time is not real at all, but simply a concept. It is not something that actually exists. Only movement, or lack of movement exists. Where all matter comes to a halt, time, too, comes to an end. Nothing to measure, nothing to segment or divide or define mathematically. Damn, I'm boggled again…
At any rate, (pardon the pun), it is possible that time is indeed speeding up, because it is simply a response to movement or the lack of movement. If we (us and everything in the Universe) cease to move, time ceases to exist. We would not cease to exist. The Universe would not cease to exist, just time; therefore, if we move faster, time moves faster, even though we wouldn't notice it because time is moving with us. Of course, Einstein said that nothing can move faster than C, the constant speed of light; however! We can slow light down and on a documentary I saw the other night, we can actually freeze light under certain conditions in the lab.
How, I ask you can light be frozen if it is a particle/ray in motion, depending on how you are measuring it. If everything in the Universe is made of vibrating (moving) particles, and if those vibrations all increased at the same time, how would we know it?
I'm boggled some more. I've said all that, just to say this: If we are looking for proof that time is speeding up, we only need to look at our lifespans. Back in the day, people used to live to be 900 years old. Now, we live to be 75 or 80 if we are lucky. So, here is another spiral, another cyclical phenomenon. Back in the day, everything, including light, moved faster, thus, during our lifetimes, more days and years passed. Then, everything began moving slower, thus, less days and years passed and our lifespans decreased or seemed to decrease because time was moving slower, less days and years passed, but our bodies wore out at the same rate. And as we go on about our lives, we live sometimes, very fast; others, not so much.
Our longer lifespans do not mean our bodies are lasting longer, it just means the sun is coming up and going down much faster
Now, your mind is boggled and you think I'm crazy and you're probably right. I'm so boggled, in fact, I'm not going to review this post before I put it up.

He should be hanged by his testicles in the middle of main city square, and let the crows eat his body. And I would hope that maybe, such disgraceful death would be enough of deterrence for other wanna-be killers.
If I was a policeman arresting him, he would be already shot dead "for trying to escape". If not very right, I would at least save taxpayers millions of dollars in his prosecution and imprisonment.
Fast forward:
In prison or institute, he is going to write a book and make millions, on other psychopaths and stupid buying it. In mean time he is going to enjoy googling and blogging on free internet, plus standard social privileges and rights of prisoners.
After 20 years he will get out of prison rich, and will enjoy good 30-50 years of the rest of his life, and will be granted another chance to do mass killing of children of Norway.
PS. I'm not sure who is more mentally sick, him or our modern justice system?

It was the third time that we welcomed the New Year at the Grounds of PGE National Stadium in Warsaw, at the biggest open-air party of the year. The event organised by Stołeczna Estrada was called the National New Year's Eve. Freezing cold did not scare out the massive audience. All together, there were 120 thousand people from Poland and abroad, who came to enjoy the party.
Giant stage featured top Polish artists who indeed have prepared the high-class show. LemON swayed the audience to melancholic melodies and Igor's Herbut characteristic voice has vibrated over the area for a long time. GrubSon did not disappoint his fans – he shared incredible energy with everyone around the stage. The legendary band Perfect, which celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2015, played the well-known favourites, bringing a bit of nostalgia to the grounds of the Stadium.
Before midnight a long-waited band The Kooks showed up on stage. This time, the artists, who spent the whole year playing at international festivals, have dedicated their greatest hits to the audience of Warsaw.
At midnight, the sky above Warsaw glittered with the cascades of colours and it became the stage for a spectacular firework display, dominated by red and white. The lively show was designed to go along with music composed by young artists and music producers of Warsaw. Famous motives from Chopin's works have become the inspiration for the show.
Just after midnight the stage was taken over by the king of electronic beats - – DJ PAUL VAN DYK who was hypnotising the audience for an hour and a half. We were feeling ecstatic while stepping into the New Year.
The event is hosted by: President of the City of Warsaw and Stołeczna Estrada.
Main Partner: PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna
Partners: Metro Warszawskie, Tramwaje Warszawskie, Miejskie Zakłady Autobusowe, Miejskie Przedsiębiorstwo Wodociągów i Kanalizacji, Tyskie i Stadion PGE Narodowy.

Hi out there!
Finally some good news again: Inspired by the choice available at Google, a volunteer offered to provide a Klingon translation of more.groupware. Understandably this is most exciting, as it makes it possible to extend the user base by a fair amount of 'people'!
Another news is the arrival of MIM - the More.groupware Instant Messenger. It can be seen in latest CVS code, and is still a bit experimental. Give it a try, so we can squash any bugs as fast as possible.
And - finally - the calendar will be rewritten: The team that brought us 'Safari' has decided to dump their use of Entourage, and they will switch to more.groupware. First they will work on the calendar, and give the changes back to the community to express their gratitude.
That's it for now, and remember: 'Use the date, Luke!'

In the midst of the federal government shutdown, the U.S. Senate took time on Friday to pass a resolution recognizing National Chess Week.
According to The Hill, Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid passed S.Res.266, which designates October 7-13 as "National Chess Week" Friday.
The resolution was reportedly passed through unanimous consent.
Nonetheless, Reid on Saturday said it was "cruel" to keep the shutdown going.
The federal government shut down earlier this week after the Senate and House failed to come to an agreement on a continuing resolution bill to continue funding the government.

Open Your Spiritual Eyes
by Robert Morris
Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him, and begged Him to touch him. So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything. And he looked up and said, "I see men like trees, walking." Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly.Mark 8:22–25
It Is Written
A few years ago, I was preaching at a church, and when I got back to my hotel room, I turned on the TV to a Christian television station. There was a guy preaching on Mark 8. In that Scripture, Jesus spit in the man's eyes and said, "What do you see?" The man said, "Men like trees, walking." Then He touched him again and the man was healed. The preacher on TV said, "See, even with Jesus it doesn't always work the first time." I couldn't believe he said that! So I set out to find the meaning of that verse. I studied until 1:00 am, and then I heard the Lord say, "Why don't you just ask Me what it means?" Before I could even ask Him, the Lord began revealing the meaning to me. It wasn't that it didn't work the first time. It's that before He opened the man's natural eyes, He opened his spiritual eyes.
For a little context, let's look at what happened before this story in Mark 8. Jesus had just finished feeding 4,000 people with only seven loaves of bread and the Pharisees came to Him and said, "Show us a sign." Jesus was probably thinking, Were you not just here for lunch? Talk about spiritual blindness! But it continued as Jesus and the disciples got on a boat. The disciples forgot to bring bread, and when Jesus said, "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees," they thought He was mad because there was no bread. Do you think Jesus, who just fed 4,000 people with seven loaves of bread, was worried about not having bread? He wasn't talking about physical bread. He told them they didn't understand what He was talking about because they have eyes but do not see. Then, as soon as they got off the boat, Jesus opened the eyes of the blind man. Do you see the symbolism there?
Maybe you're thinking you need Jesus to open your spiritual eyes, too. The Bible says there is a veil over our eyes until we believe. But even after that, we must beware of our pride. If you read the Bible and think you know everything already, you won't see anything. It wasn't until I asked God to tell me the meaning of the story that I understood. If you take your Bible and pray, "Lord, I am blind without You. I can't understand the Bible unless You show me," then He will open your spiritual eyes, and things will begin to jump off the page.
Lord, I can't truly see or hear without You. I want to receive spiritual sight today. I want Your words to jump off my Bible's pages at me. Help me to see things in Scripture that I didn't see before. I want You to speak to me through Your Word for my job, career, family, marriage and my life. I want to live by the Word of God, not by natural bread, alone.

Homemade Coleslaw is very easy to prepare. You don't need to buy this pre-packaged. Save money by making your own simple homemade coleslaw from scratch.
This video is part of my learn to cook series. I recently came across my old home economics cookbook, and I am working my way through the whole cookbook cooking each recipe, and shooting a video for each recipe. This way I can show you how I learned how to cook. Perhaps you need to learn how to cook as well.
Why make homemade coleslaw?
We are making a very simple homemade coleslaw recipe. I know you can now purchase coleslaw in the grocery store pre-made. You can also make coleslaw from scratch. Why would you want to? You may want to customize it the way you like. When you make it from scratch you can add more onion if you desire. You could add some shredded carrot, or even some shredded apple for a nice change. You may also want to control the amount of sugar, or even use a sugar substitute in this recipe. Now you have a nice basic recipe to work from.
I sometimes add a little purple cabbage when I make homemade coleslaw. This gives your salad a nice color, and it is simple addition. Here is a trick if you only need a few leaves of purple cabbage, just buy that much when you go to the grocery store. You can simply peel off a few leaves of the purple cabbage and pay for what you want. I learned this trick when I used to work in grocery stores years ago.
This recipe is very simple, we are going to make a creamy dressing that is simple, and tastes wonderful. I bet you already have most of these ingredients in your pantry right now.
Homemade Coleslaw
Make your own homemade coleslaw. It is simple to make, and chances are you already have everything you need in your pantry.
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons white distilled vinegar
- 1/2 cup half and half or heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 1/2 cups finely shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup finely cut celery
- 1/2 cup finely chopped white onion
Mix together the salad dressing by combining the mayonnaise, vinegar, cream, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix together the cole slaw dressing with the shredded cabbage, celery, and chopped white onion. Cover cole slaw, and allow to rest for at least 1 hour before serving.Print Recipe
Receipt for Mr. RON'S COLESLAW.
Did u ever get this? I've. Been looking too.
I'm looking for a receipt for MR. RON'S coleslaw!! Do you have it? Or, can you get it?
Thanks Roberta
I rarely eat Coleslaw because I HATE mayonnaise! So I'm very cautious. If it looks thick forget it! I usually taste my husbands before I order it. Sometimes I ask for a taste and the restaurant is very accommodating. The one place where I can order it anytime any day, and that is Cracker Barrel. So I'm sure your homemade coleslaw is similar but I want it to be exactly like Cracker Barrel. I am thrilled that I have found your site. We rarely go out to eat because we live in a very small town in West Virginia. I travel south often to see my children so, I always stop at Cracker Barrel!! I love your site and will be making the Chicken and dumplings for EASTER with Fried Apples. We don't eat bacon so I hope it won't be too obvious without it. I may have Coleslaw, deviled eggs (because my husband loves them). I will bake a ham because my daughter and 4 children will be visiting. My husband does not eat any red meat or pork, and he loves CB Chicken and Dumplings. I can't wait to surprise him. I don't care for deviled eggs, (remember the mayo thing) so he will also get them. Hmmmm lets see what else. Definitely sweet potatoes….not a sweet casserole, and no marshmallows…..perhaps roasted Brussels Sprouts. I'm so sorry to write so long , I've just been watching you and I too love to cook and started about 6. Feel like you could be my neighbor. 1995…..oh wow… I've missed so many years. But we survived. Love trying new things but have actually cut back on foods not good for us. I promise not to
I find when using vinegar and let it set for a few hours, it is really wet at bottom of pan. I do not care to have very wet slaw. Any suggestions?
I just got paid ——————————————————-
Pour it in a collander and drain it
I always make this the day before. So what i do is let it sit for a while to season through then I like to drain the excess about an hour before I serve.
I have never done it this way, I'll have to give this a try.

"America's birthday is the BEST. I love America. I'm going to give it a big hug!"
He is so totally adorable. The girls are also accomplishing a lot lately-The Bean has finally decided that she wants to pull herself up to sitting all by herself (as opposed to yelling "Mama-UH!" until I come and move her from laying to sitting) and is even now trying to pull herself up to stand. If she can start walking within the next month or two she will be the earliest walker of the bunch! Miss Baby Bug has decided to learn Mandarin with big brother and can now say more than a dozen words herself-not only can she say them, she can SING them...and will, at the first chance she sees. She LOVES to sing, and her tiny little voice is seriously cute. This weekend I will try to get it recorded so I can show you all.
I've not been doing too bad myself-so far all of my classes have a surprisingly easy workload, and I'm getting As in all of them. I've managed to turn in all of my assignments early, and have not once been in class and thought "excusemewhatnow?!". There is much celebrating that last fact.
Still I am the first to admit that no matter how well I am doing in school, my weekends are the very best part of my week because I get to spend them with my sweet, sweet babies (and the fantastic Mr. Hubby who makes our whole world possible). I hope you all are going to be doing something fun this weekend!!

Declines continue
at OBS Winter Sale
THE declines registered in the opening session of the two-day Ocala Breeders' Sales Company's 2009 Winter Mixed Sale were replicated on day two.
The top price achieved on day one of $87,000, given for an Exchange Rate colt, was not bettered in the second session, with the day topped by a Macho Uno yearling filly out of the multiple stakes-placed mare Dance Kat. She made $33,000.
Over the two days, 343 of the 527 of the hoerses offered sold (a clearance rate of 65 per cent) at an average price of $6,207, a fall of 40 per cent from last year's average of $10,283.

Near Point Reyes National Seashore, just north of San Francisco and the Golden Gate, the California coast undergoes a remarkable transformation.
Golden hills, oak trees, and valleys of redwood groves give way to sparse, mossy slopes and dramatic, chiseled seaside cliffs. Together with the usually dramatic seaside cloudscapes that roll in over the Pacific, it's a ringer for the highlands or outer Hebridies of Scotland.
Brittney and I managed to catch Point Reyes on a rare sunwashed afternoon for these fashion photographs, shot for her modeling portfolio. The landscape was a gorgeous wonderland of gentle minty greens all the way to the baby-blue horizon—a perfect complement to her warm, colorful fashion.
These frames also make for a wonderful demonstration of the analog technology I used to capture them: 35mm Fuji Pro 400H C-41 / negative film. Fuji negative films are known both for their exceptionally gentle color palette as well as for their impressive highlight-handling range—characteristics that make them an ideal choice to capture colorful style on a gorgeous sunwashed afternoon.
Producing portraits with Erika is always such a treat. And like all of the most creative moments, it's done in a blink: she finds the light and the camera, I hit the shutter, and before either of us quite realize we've done anything at all, we're 36 exposures in and the film is rewinding.
Dramatic autumn skies near the Alameda, California waterfront frame Veronica's stylish casual look for a result that's anything but casual!

This week, the EducationNext blog posted topics concerning accountability, pension, parent involvement, teacher retention, and textbooks. The blog titled "Trick for Attracting Math, Science, and Special Ed Teachers" seemed interesting, especially for those interested in teacher retention. The blogger underscored the need for differentiated pay based on specialized fields and skills. The author thoroughly analyzed the topic as he also acknowledged the potential dangers or controversies that would surround differentiated pay.
The post titled "Never Judge a Book by Its Cover—Use Student Achievement Instead" was particularly interesting to me because it discussed the correlation between achievement and textbooks, which directly relates to my funding topic. The blogger reported on the findings from a study that revealed the positive correlation between teacher effectiveness and textbooks, which in turn positively affected student achievement. The blogger then discussed the need for a concerted effort in district-wide adoption of these effective textbooks. It is unfortunate that studies reveal the benefits from resources that underfunded schools may never have the opportunity to experience.

Written by Michael Henson
Last updated: 11/10/2016
If you plan on having a job on a superyacht as an engineer, you'll need to obtain the internationally recognised skills and MCA qualifications necessary. Read on for a breakdown of how to take your first step on the ladder if you are planning a career as an engineer on board.
The largest yachts of today employ multiple engineers from assistant engineers to 2nd and 3rd engineers, right up to the top-level chief engineers.

Las Vegas, NV (PressExposure) June 09, 2011 -- Horse Racing Simulation LLC, the world's largest developer and operator of online horse racing games and other virtual horse racing software programs, announced today that it will be providing its 3D simulation technology to NBC Sports, which will be utilized during its national broadcast of the 2011 Belmont Stakes to be run at Belmont Park on Saturday, June 11, 5-7 p.m. ET.
Horse Racing Simulation provided this same 3D racing simulation technology for NBC for this year's Preakness Stakes, which was featured during their broadcast coverage of the second leg of horse racing's Triple Crown.
Horse Racing Simulation has been building virtual horse racing games and 3D simulation race programs for over ten years, working with such media companies as Disney, Discovery Network, ESPN, as well as horse racing specific media organizations such as the NTRA (National Thoroughbred Racing Association). These 3D virtual horse race simulations are not just for entertainment, but can also be utilized as an educational tool to inform viewers on all aspects of horse racing, specifically how certain factors during a race affect the outcome.
"Our goal at HRS is to create as much awareness for the sport of horse racing as possible, whether it's through our horse racing games or other software products such as our 3D simulation program," said Michael Calderone, CEO of Horse Racing Simulation. "Creating, educating and engaging new racing fans is our number one objective. Working with NBC in their national coverage of the Belmont Stakes helps us reach that goal."
"Their horse racing simulation was a valuable production tool on our Preakness broadcast. It enabled us to show the viewer how our experts thought the race would be run and won," stated Fred Gaudelli, NBC Sports' Triple Crown Producer. "The graphics and animation are incredibly life-like and really provide a realistic and entertaining look at the sport. We are looking forward to working with them on the Belmont Stakes."

Why Data Trumps Conventional Wisdom, Opinions and Intuition in Marketing
When it comes to marketing, data trumps opinion.
In practice, this means that for any business endeavor, you must first determine your key success metrics and then measure how you are doing against them on a regular basis. This allows you to optimize and expand on marketing programs that are working, while cutting off those that are not.
Today's business landscape has become hyper-competitive, and most marketers are compelled to take this approach versus relying on conventional wisdom, rules of thumb, or intuition that may have been sufficient in the past.
Many share the sentiment that one of the most pressing questions in marketing today is not simply how to measure any single outcome. More so, the prevailing question is:
How do you gain a deeper understanding of how all the various metrics interconnect and drive financial consequences of each marketing decision?
Measurable Performance and Accountability
It is a fair assumption that companies who develop a deep understanding of marketing interconnectivity will gain a significant competitive advantage over time within their respective industries.
In recent years, data-based marketing has swept through the business world. Measureable performance and accountability have become the golden keys to marketing success.
Marketing metrics are essential to give you and your team a complete picture of your company's health. Financial metrics focus on dollars and periods of time, telling us how profits, cash and assets are changing. However, we also need to understand what is happening with our customers, products, prices, channels, competitors and brands.

highereducation / news / Workshop "Napoleon and a Woman at Brock" - January 22 at Brock University
Workshop "Napoleon and a Woman at Brock" - January 22 at Brock University
On June 24th 1791, Napoleon Bonaparte wrote to Guillaume-Thomas Raynal, priest by trade, famous philosopher, and author of the History of the Two Indies. A copy of this letter is archived in Paris; another copy was recently deposited by an anonymous donor at the Brock University Library in the Niagara Region.
At the beginning of the commemorations of four hundred years of French presence in Canada, the Archives of the University invites us to discover historical documents in French kept in Special Collections, including sixteen free-mason works from the eighteenth century.
On January 22nd 2015, the workshop will give us the opportunity to present and discuss two letters, Napoleon's to Raynal and, in a different context, a message by a woman who, in 1825, wrote to Claude Antoine Thory, librarian at the free-masonry archives in Paris.
The workshop will be conducted by David Sharron, Director Special Collections; Catherine Parayre, Director French Studies; Nigel Lezama and Renée-Claude Breitenstein, both in French Studies, and in cooperation with Philippe Nieto, National Archives, Paris and Marianne Charrier-Vozel, Université de Rennes 1.
Thursday 22 January 2015 – Workshop "Napoleon and a Woman at Brock" (no cost) - 12:00/13:00 (Special Collections and Archives, James A. Gibson Library, Brock University, 500 Glenridge Ave., St. Catharines, ON L2S 3A1. Tel: 905-688-5550 ext. 4335, www.brocku.ca )

I have a confession: I don't read poetry anymore. It's embarrassing given the fact that I have a master's degree in English and it's astonishing considering the fact that I wrote nothing but poetry for more than a dozen years in my youth. I didn't purposely give up on poetry. I did not attend a 12-Step Poetry Recovery Program. The words in poems are footsteps carefully placed and each one requires attentive care and pondering. You can't skip over words in poems; and I don't have the patience to read every word like I used to. Though I can't remember specifically, I think I crossed over from having an obsession with poetry to no longer writing the stuff when I became a mom. Once the children arrived, I found that I had stories to tell that could not fit into a few carefully crafted lines. So I guess you could say that I went beyond poetry when life got sloppy.
Consider the haiku, a Japanese form of poetry that I do still love, and read on occasion, mainly because it's brief. A traditional haiku must be seventeen syllables. I mention this because I read a haiku recently that summed up my relationship (as a writer of epic fiction) with poetry. It went like this: "Take me down to Haiku-City where the grass is green and dammit." Ran out of syllables, couldn't finish the thought. There you go. I need to spread out. I need a lot of space to tell a story. I can't do it in a poem anymore. I have tried writing flash fiction and it's painful. This is why you won't find me on Twitter. I can't possibly say anything in 140 characters. Unless of course by characters we mean people. I could do a lot with 140 people-characters in a marathon novel. I could, if hard pressed, crystalize a thought. But why would I want to? I am fascinated by the context.
I just looked for my old poems so I could share one, and I can't seem to find the box in which they're stored. (None of them are on my computer, of course.) That's just as well because, if memory serves, a disproportionate amount of my college poetry revolved around sex. I hope my children fail to locate that box when I am dead as it would embarrass the socks off them. Super-duper ewww. In retrospect, it was excellent discipline for me as a young writer to attempt so many poetic descriptions of sex since it's one of the hardest things to write well. I have labored over sex scenes in my novels. They should be erotic, and not pornographic. They should be poetic, touching, emotional, and not corny, silly, clichéd. One of the highest compliments I have received was when a woman told me that Memories from Cherry Harvest had great sex in it. Sex scenes should arouse and move the reader, not make the reader wince. You don't want blather like "she felt his member throb against her thigh like a swollen banana preparing to fly on wings of longing" or "he cupped the rounded spheres of her rear-end lasciviously yet as tenderly as the first peaches of summer." See what I'm saying? Fifty shades of pathetic descriptions of sex. Super-duper eww. In all seriousness, writers have been trying to describe the mystery of the sexual experience for centuries. It's one of those things that tries to escape the confines of words.
Life itself tries to escape the confines of words. For this very reason, I never grow tired of the thrill of capturing the living moment with my words or reading someone else's brilliantly constructed insight or portrayal. Occasionally I stumble across a poem that speaks to me, that delights me with its perfection. I remember many poems from back in the day that held meaning for me (not that I memorized them word for word). Here is one of my favorites by William Carlos Williams that popped into my head when I was under my plum tree the other day.
This is Just to Say
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
That's the kind of poem I can still handle. I don't have the patience anymore for poems that require deciphering. (I once did. Can you believe I wrote my master's dissertation on Wallace Stevens? Go figure.) I enjoy simple poems that paint a moment and go piercingly and swiftly to the heart of the matter; and I do love a good, clean image in a poem. My taste in prose, on the contrary, runs toward the complicated. I adore the many-layered grand novel, like David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas. When I finished that book I turned to the first page and started it all over again. Give me a long and complex novel with so many characters that I can't keep them straight or remember their names. I want to dwell in a book. I want the author to create another world so that when I turn the pages I travel somewhere else, somewhere outside my existence. I want to enter a parallel universe that informs my life in this one. That's probably why I like sci-fi so much.
At my book group this month, we discussed reading a classic novel together. When one of the people in the group suggested we read a nineteenth century Russian novel, I lit up like a newly minted galaxy. I think I frightened the group a tad with my roaring enthusiasm when I shared that I had read War and Peace three times. (Seriously, who reads War and Peace once, let alone three times?) The person who made the suggestion hastened to say that she thought perhaps a Dostoyevsky novella or a Tolstoy short story would do nicely. My hopes were dashed.
When I hear other people talk about poetry these days, I feel a twinge of regret. I sort of wish I enjoyed reading it. I will never write it again. Come to think of it, my passion for writing fiction has diminished in recent years as I have increasingly enjoyed writing the personal essay. Or, to be more precise, the blog. I like writing this right here; this ramble down the corridors of cyberspace; this throwing words at the wall and hoping they stick to something. Or someone. I hope that occasionally they stick to you, dear reader. If I ever become a famous blogger, it would be fun to host a writing contest for the most wincingly worst descriptions of sex. Not pornographic, just hilarious-awful. Are you with me on this?
Plums. Yum.

text: My capacitive touchscreen has been having a pretty odd issue. If I lay the phone on a bed or desk and try to use the touchscreen with only one finger, I get all sorts of weird input on the screen. Then, if I touch the phone casing while repeating the same motion with the same finger (anywhere on the side of the casing or rear panel) the touchscreen works flawlessly. Right now, my device is sitting on my bed, if I unlock it and try to pull down the notification window shade with just one finger, it's impossible. If I touch the casing with another finger and then try to pull down the shade, it's flawless. From my understanding, in a capacitive touchscreen, a layer of electrons (ions?) is passed over the screen and a sensor detects where the flow of electrons is interrupted by the electrical conductivity of the human body. It seems that my phone is having issues with the electrons not just flowing over the screen, but around the casing as well, causing issues. Anyone else experiencing this?

The development of this key island site is already transforming the West End, and the new building will be an exciting addition to this dynamic area.
David Ainsworth
Chief executive, CORE
Location London, UK
Status Built 2016
Sectors Mixed use, Office, Retail,
Area 16,300m²/175,500ft²
Client Linseed Assets
LSQ London was a familiar historic London building, comprising the whole west side of the square. The 1920s building, an Edwardian structure characteristic of the area, was grand but outdated. The interior floors fell short of modern office standards; the ground-floor retail spaces were uninviting and cut off from the square. Our brief was to create a new high-spec office building that captures the appeal of today's West End while preserving the elegance of the original stone facade.
The goal was not just to reimagine but to reinvent – to retain the look and feel of the old building while unlocking the site's true potential. Along with a completely new structure and core, we've added an upper storey with an elegant curved roof, high-end retail space, and outdoor dining that blends into the streetscape.
The result is a vibrant and engaging space encased in the existing facade – an integral part of one of the world's busiest squares and a fitting tribute to the building's history. It will be an exciting place to meet, work, shop and eat for decades to come.

Meet the Masterpiece Painter Known as Anne Day.
Profile of Anne Day
Professional and lifetime-career painter. Specializing in portraits that are done in either watercolor or oil color. My primary objective with my craft is to paint photo-realistically but with a nuance that compliments the art of painting on canvas. I specialize in portraits of adults, babies, children, animals and pets. Take a look at some of the examples I have showcased on this site and my biography.
I am proficient as well in landscapes, seascapes, celebrities, presidents and and sports figures. My capabilities go on to include replications of masterpieces such as the Mona Lisa.
In my younger adult years I regularly gave art lesson in my hometown of Newburgh, New York and later I had become president of the Clearwater Artists League.
The photo-realistic aspect of my paintings is what grabs most people. Some find it hard to distinguish the difference between the original photo and the painting I finish of it.
Retired now and residing in Florida, I still continue to paint professionally and as a hobby too. Painting has been the crux of my career most of my life and retirement is just a word, means nothing to me about my desire and motivation to continue to paint beautiful and photo-realistic portraits for appreciators of fine and original art at its best.
See some examples of my works here.

Dear Secretary Pritzker:
We are concerned by reports that the Department of Commerce may resolve the recently filed antidumping and countervailing duty cases on imported sugar from Mexico by imposing import quotas on Mexican sugar via a suspension agreement with the Mexican sugar industry and Government of Mexico. Such a suspension agreement will violate our nation's commitment to free and open trade with Mexico, threaten the viability of American food manufacturers and raise food prices for American families.
Under the terms of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the United States and Mexico are allowed to trade sweeteners amongst each other without duties or quotas. NAFTA's creation of an open market in sweeteners was carefully negotiated and implemented over a period of 15 years and finalized in 2008. This mutual market access is beneficial to the United States: U.S. growers and refiners do not produce enough sugar to meet the demands of U.S. consumers, and imports are necessary to keep America's food manufacturers competitive in the global marketplace.
In 2013, due to factors outside of the scope of these antidumping and countervailing duty cases, global sugar prices fell dramatically, and in the United States prices fell below minimum levels guaranteed by the Department of Agriculture. This resulted in $258 million in federal payouts to the sugar industry at taxpayer expense, as a result of the failed federal sugar program. Mexican growers are being blamed for the decline in U.S. prices, but Mexican sugar does not threaten our domestic industry. To the contrary, since 2008, American sugar producers have expanded their domestic market share, increased production by 13 percent and experienced some of their highest profits on record during four of the past seven years.
Any managed trade agreement between the United States and Mexico, whether in the form of a suspension agreement or other mechanism, will raise sugar prices in the United States. This will cost American jobs, hurt consumers and encourage retaliatory trade actions to the detriment of both the United States and Mexico.
We urge you to carefully consider your agency's obligations under current law and NAFTA and reject calls to weaken the U.S.-Mexican trade relationship.
Thank you for your thorough attention to this matter.

Earlier today, I criticized Rubio for not going after Donald Trump with the same gusto as Ted Cruz. I am glad to note that, per multiple sources Rubio started today striking a much more strident tone against Trump on the campaign trail. As reported by MSNBC, Rubio said of Trump today that "building a casino does not count as foreign policy experience" and that unlike Trump, he would not "embarrass the country" as President.
He also apparently joined the attack on Trump's expansive views on eminent domain:
Rubio says what Trump tried to do in NJ would be illegal in FL because of law he helped pass
— Zeke Miller (@ZekeJMiller) February 16, 2016
And criticized Trump for behaving like a buffoon, and not laying out any serious policies:
Rubio tells crowd in Beaufort he and Trump have "behavioral differences," adding that Trump hasn't laid out any serious policies.
— Sabrina Siddiqui (@SabrinaSiddiqui) February 16, 2016
So, credit where it is due. Rubio has joined the fight against Trump, who hopefully now can enjoy some time under fire from actual Republicans, instead of the staged fire he draws from the media in order to dupe his followers into believing that he's a conservative.
