Magic rock - big dipper
Oh my God, I'm a giant with an appetite........
Two of the UK's best, most consistent breweries, Magic Rock Brewing and Cloudwater Brew Co, have reunited for a repeat brew of Big Dipper and the results are as tremendous as you might expect.
Big Dipper is a wonderfully balanced, sweet and resinous double IPA packed with peach and mango with a jammy, marmalade finish and no bitterness. With a smooth, soft mouthfeel, and no hint of its 8.3% ABV, this beer goes down way too easily and you could easily be lured into drinking multiple cans and not realising it's strength until the cold air hits you on the way home!
Cloudwater - NW DIPA Ekuanot
I am back to yesterday savouring my sorrow days......
Let's not beat about the bush, Cloudwater Brew Co. make exceptional beer, consistently knocking it out of the park brew after brew and NW DIPA Ekuanot is no exception. In fact, it is up there with my favourite beers of 2017 so far. In true Cloudwater style it is a murky, fruit bomb of the highest calibre that lures you in with it's irresistibly sweet, fruity aroma like a bee to honey. To taste it is brimming with fruit flavours (mango, melon, orange) and is packed with oats that give it a thick, silky smooth mouthfeel. It comes in at 9% but it hides it so well you could serve this beer up for breakfast and be none the wiser.
The only problem with Cloudwater beers is they are here today and gone tomorrow and as Black Honey lament I am soon back to yesterday, savoring my sorrows and agonising over a lost love.........until the next time.

NORTH CONWAY — Art Jubilee will be presenting the annual "Music in the Schools" program in partnership with the Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire this Thursday and Friday, April 5th and 6th in elementary schools throughout the greater Mt. Washington Valley. This year's participating schools include Brownfield-Denmark, Freedom, Josiah Bartlett, Madison, New Suncook, and Pine Tree.
Each year, Arts Jubilee brings a performer or performing group to area schools to offer an enriching experience for students. The Arts Jubilee Board of Directors considers it both an honor and a responsibility to provide this cultural exposure for our local kids. This year's performance will be by the New England Brass. Known as one of the finest performing brass chamber groups in the country, New England Brass has been performing for over three decades. In addition to adult programming, the group has been entertaining and educating over 20,000 school children a year throughout New England. Their presentation blends comedy, classics, and familiar melodies in addition to an informative presentation to create an exhilarating experience for the listener.
The two-day residency will culminate with a public performance by the New England Brass in Loynd Auditorium at Kennett High School on Friday, April 6th at 6:30 pm. Tickets for the performance, coordinated by the Arts Alliance, are $5 for students, $10 for adults, and $20 for families. Discounted tickets are available if you pre-order online at www.aannh.org ($3 for students, $8 for adults, and $15 for families).
As a non-profit organization, Arts Jubilee counts on the generosity of corporate sponsors, grantors, and private donors in order to present Music in the Schools each year, as well as their annual summer concert series at Cranmore Mountain Resort. Arts Jubilee would like to thank the Kiwanis Club of Mt. Washington Valley, Memorial Hospital, and the Red Jacket Mountain View Resort for making this year's Music in the Schools program possible.

I sat outside the doctor's office, waiting for the nurses to process my admission. My friends arrived at this time. I'd had no dinner, though I'd had a pack of crisps and a cup of warm malt chocolate (Milo) while waiting for the doctor. I couldn't imagine eating anything else. One of my friends had providentially brought an extra chocolate. I smiled for the only time that night, through my tears.
11. Real hope beckons
I didn't have any hope by this time. I think that given time, I would have realised that I was going to be better, but at that point, I was numb. I couldn't think past the numbness and shock of what I was going through. I was still in pain, but I couldn't feel anything other than resigned despair. I knew I had no hope left, even though that wasn't true. The admitting doctor who had threatened to use the Mental Health Act against me did tell me that my fear and reaction could be due to my depression, but I was past caring at this point. I felt nothing, and I felt myself floating in some kind of disbelief. People drifted in and out around me, and I took my medication as I was told. Otherwise, I wanted to just sit in my bed and stare at the ceiling, and keep out of the way of the noisy people.
12. The healing begins
My pastor and his wife were around when I got transferred. It was cathartic talking to them as well, and my pastor prayed for me as they both prayed with me. Their care meant a lot at that time, as I know my pastor is really busy. They were full of concern, and listened to me. They were with me as I got transferred, and saw me settled in before they took their leave.
13. Living Anew
As I write, it has been only a week and a half since I have been discharged. I still struggle to operate normally at times. My appetite is terrible and I am eating variable amounts every day. On some days, I eat about half what I normally eat, or less. On other days, I binge eat during one meal, and then eat very little for the rest of the day. My wife tries to help me to regulate my diet, but it's difficult for us both as I sometimes just don't have the appetite. A lot of food that I used to like to eat holds no appeal, and even makes me feel nauseous.
14. A word of thanks
This is the most pleasurable chapter to write – I have so many thanks to give, just to be able to live, and to be able to write my story for others to read.
Thank you, God, for saving me from my sins through Jesus Christ, and for saving me from myself. I am sure the Holy Spirit was the one who guided my steps into the hospital, and kept me safe these few weeks.
15. Are you suffering?
If you recognise yourself in my story, I would like to speak to you here, personally. Perhaps you only see a certain portion of yourself, or perhaps you have had similar experiences and disillusionments. Or perhaps you feel the same sadness and lack of joy or constant pain. Perhaps you don't understand happiness, or you find yourself struggling to be happy in the midst of a world that seems obsessed with being happy.
16. Hope for Christian sufferers
If you are a Christian and suffering from depression or other mental illnesses, this chapter is for you.
17. How to help a sufferer
If you are not a sufferer, but want to know how to help someone who's suffering from some form of mental disorder, this chapter is for you.
If you know someone who has committed suicide, this chapter is also for you. Please pay attention to the last section.
18. IMH – the reality
The Institute of Mental Health has an unsavoury reputation, with many Singaporeans remembering Woodbridge and how it operated purely as an asylum. However, with great improvements in education and medical care in Singapore, IMH has become a very solid bastion of mental health education and care in Singapore.
19. In Conclusion
Every story needs a conclusion.
Mine has none, for now, thankfully.

HotProperty this week notes that "the nation is losing approximately 200,000 rental housing units each year due to demolition,significantly compounding the ongoing housing affordability squeeze gripping millions of families." A Harvard study, just released, highlights gentrification as the terminator of low cost rentals and affordable housing across the nation. A perfect example: Good ole Williamsburg and Greenpoint!
Exactly what is the Brooklyn Navy Yard anyway? Well, the Village Voice had a close-up on the area and it seems they had a little trouble finding out as well. Instead, like many other these days, they wound up explaining more about everything outside of the Navy Yard itself- such as the Chocolate Factory Lofts and all the warehouses that surround the area. They did good, however to mention Mojitos, the Cuban restaurant close by. That place is damn good! In fact, it might be the best reason for moving over to that ghosttown.
According to the Sun (and Real Deal agrees), the presence of Israelis in New York creates a spike in real estate. They even go so far as to add that Manhattan (excuse me, City Mountain) should be called "Little Tel Aviv." Hmmm...don't see that going over so well...
Demolition started yesterday at Atlantic Yards, Bruce Ratner's $3.5 billion development project in Prospect Heights [Real Deal]. In the NY Post, the Underberg building was under the magnifying glass as opponents try to save it from the wrecking ball. Ratner won't hear a word of it as he has everyone believing that the site (1 of 6 he is looking to level) is a public hazard.
and finally... Bushwick is the NEXT new neighborhhood....well, according to these guys, these guys...oh, and these. justiNYC lived there 2 years ago. So...i guess that makes me ahead of the times. (btw. the Times had the flagship article on the topic)

"There was something magical about the Institute, the people and the beautiful and serene campus, which I cannot quite explain, but it provided exactly the right mixture of quiet surrounding for research and opportunities to get together, consult and exchange ideas."

"IAS was my home away from home for four times in two turbulent decades. It was a haven of tranquility, reflection, camaraderie and sheer beauty. Cooperation within my immediate groups was a source of abundant inspiration, but what made the IAS experience unique was the presence and influence of other groups. In my mind, the IAS comes closest to the ideal community of scholars."

I'm wearing the NEW Jwelssi skin and shape from INAYA!
Sandro Fratica co-owner of INAYA Skins dropped a blogger's pack on me that contained 7 brand new skins in various tones and hairbase colors. The shapes and faces are what fascinated me the most, they're all different and unique. They're tall and short, chubby and thin, I liked them all immediately. Below you'll find each skin and shape photographed with hairpieces from Amacci that I tinted to match.
The darker skintones are the most beautiful and realistic, especially Jwelssi. What I like most about these skins is the variety. There's so many interesting faces and all of the shapes are modifiable so you can add your own personal touch. What I like least is the drawn-on eyelashes, especially on Lisenn, and the crooked eyebrows on Saskia. Demos of each skin cost 1L each. A single skinpack costs 1000L or $4.00.

16:30 Doors open 17:00 Introduction to Concourse Jan Krag, Continuous Improvement Agent at Praqma Jan Krag will briefly talk about some of the modern 'mantras' that we preach in the CoDe community, like 'everything as code', containerized builds, stateless infrastructure and so on. These areas seem to push the boundaries of 'classic' build servers, like Jenkins & Bamboo. Jan will use this as a springboard to introduce Concourse CI, a recent arrival on the build server stage, and how it seems to have a refreshingly new approach to some of these challenges. 17:25 Workshop introduction First, the workshop will give an introduction of pipelines (visual). Then, we will look into how a pipeline configuration looks (yaml), how to setup a simple task, resource and script, how to make local folders for a task, and how to use the FLY command. 17:45 Hands-on workshop Part 1 18:20 Short status check - initial questions 18:30 Break Sandwiches and refreshments 18:50 Hands-on workshop Part 2 20:15 Wrap-up 20:30 Thank you and good bye

The NSA, working with British intelligence, begins secretly intercepting and reading millions of telegraph messages between US citizens and international senders and recipients. The clandestine program, called Operation Shamrock and part of a larger global surveillance network collectively known as Echelon (see April 4, 2001 and Before September 11, 2001), begins shortly after the end of World War II, and continues through 1975, when it is exposed by the "Church Committee," the Senate investigation of illegal activities by US intelligence organizations (see April, 1976). (Campbell 7/25/2000) The program actually predates the NSA, originating with the Armed Forces Security Agency (AFSA) then continuing when that turned into NSA (see 1952). (Ponder 5/13/2006) The program operates in tandem with Project Minaret (see 1967-1975). Together, the two programs spy on both foreign sources and US citizens, especially those considered "unreliable," such as civil rights leaders and antiwar protesters, and opposition figures such as politicians, diplomats, businessmen, trades union leaders, non-government organizations like Amnesty International, and senior officials of the Catholic Church. The NSA receives the cooperation of such telecommunications firms as Western Union, RCA, and ITT. (Campbell 7/25/2000) (Those companies are never required to reveal the extent of their involvement with Shamrock; on the recommendations of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and presidential chief of staff Dick Cheney, in 1975 President Ford extends executive privilege to those companies, precluding them from testifying before Congress.) (Ponder 5/13/2006) In the 1960s, technological advances make it possible for computers to search for keywords in monitored messages instead of having human analysts read through all communications. In fact, the first global wide-area network, or WAN, is not the Internet, but the international network connecting signals intelligence stations and processing centers for US and British intelligence organizations, including the NSA, and making use of sophisticated satellite systems such as Milstar and Skynet. (The NSA also builds and maintains one of the world's first e-mail networks, completely separate from public e-mail networks, and highly secret.) At the program's height, it operates out of a front company in Lower Manhattan code-named LPMEDLEY, and intercepts 150,000 messages a month. In August 1975, NSA director Lieutenant General Lew Allen testifies to the House of Representatives' investigation of US intelligence activities, the Pike Committee (see January 29, 1976), that "NSA systematically intercepts international communications, both voice and cable." He also admits that "messages to and from American citizens have been picked up in the course of gathering foreign intelligence," and acknowledges that the NSA uses "watch lists" of US citizens "to watch for foreign activity of reportable intelligence interest." (Campbell 7/25/2000) The Church Committee's final report will will call Shamrock "probably the largest government interception program affecting Americans ever undertaken." (Church Committee 4/23/1976) Shortly after the committee issues its report, the NSA terminates the program. Since 1978, the NSA and other US intelligence agencies have been restrained in their wiretapping and surveillance of US citizens by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (see 1978). Admiral Bobby Ray Inman, who will become the NSA's director in 1977, and who testifies before the Church Committee as director of Naval Intelligence, will later say that he worked actively to help pass FISA: "I became convinced that for almost anything the country needed to do, you could get legislation to put it on a solid foundation. There was the comfort of going out and saying in speeches, 'We don't target US citizens, and what we do is authorized by a court.'" (Ponder 5/13/2006) Shamrock is considered unconstitutional by many US lawmakers, and in 1976 the Justice Department investigates potential criminal offenses by the NSA surrounding Shamrock. Part of the report will be released in 1980; that report will confirm that the Shamrock data was used to further the illegal surveillance activities of US citizens as part of Minaret. (Campbell 7/25/2000)
After 9/11, the NSA will once again escalate its warrantless surveillance of US citizens, this time monitoring and tracking citizens' phone calls and e-mails (see After September 11, 2001). It will also begin compiling an enormous database of citizens' phone activities, creating a "data mine" of information on US citizens, ostensibly for anti-terrorism purposes (see October 2001).
A test flight for the Air Force's Project Banshee, located at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia, is set for 8:30 a.m. Banshee is an attempt begun in 1946 to develop and deploy a long-range missile ahead of both the Soviet Union and rival US military branches. The airplane used in the test flight crashes less than an hour into its flight, killing 9 of the 13 aboard.
Maintenance Problems - The plane assigned for the flight is a B-29 Stratofortress, a bomber made famous by its delivery of the atomic bombs to Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II. B-29s are notoriously difficult to fly and maintain: their four wing-mounted engines almost routinely overheat and catch fire, causing engine shutdowns, sudden drops in altitude, and, often, crashes. The engines' eighteen cylinders lack sufficient airflow to keep them cool, and the overheating often causes the crankcases, made of light but highly flammable magnesium, to burst into flames. Like so many of its brethren, the plane has suffered its share of maintenance issues, and is flying without numerous recommended maintenance and repair tasks being performed. Just five days before, it had been designated "red cross"—grounded and unfit for service. It was allowed to fly through an "exceptional release" signed by the squadron commander.
Crew Difficulties - The flight is moved back to the afternoon after some crew members fail to show up on time, and to allow last-minute repairs to be made. By takeoff, the flight crew is assembled: Captain Ralph Erwin; co-pilot Herbert W. Moore; flight engineer Earl Murrhee; First Lieutenant Lawrence Pence, Jr, the navigator; Sergeant Walter Peny, the left scanner; Sergeant Jack York, the right scanner; Sergeant Melvin Walker, the radio operator; and Sergeant Derwood Irvin, manning the bombsight and autopilot. The crew is joined by civilian engineers assigned to Banshee: Al Palya and Robert Reynolds from RCA, William Brauner and Eugene Mechler from the Franklin Institute, and Richard Cox from the Air Force's Air Materiel Command. In violation of standard procedure, none of the crew or the civilians are briefed on emergency procedures, though Murrhee will later say that the crew were all familiar with the procedures; he is not so sure about the civilians, though he knows Palya and Reynolds have flown numerous test flights before. In another violation of Air Force regulations, none of the flight crew have worked together before. As author Barry Siegel will note in 2008, "The pilot, copilot, and engineer had never shared the same cockpit before."
Engine Fire and Crash - Less than an hour into the flight, one engine catches fire and two others lose power, due to a combination of maintenance failures and pilot errors. The civilians have some difficulty getting into their parachutes as Erwin and Moore attempt to regain control of the aircraft. Four of the crew and civilians manage to parachute from the plane, but most remain on board as the airplane spirals into the ground on the edge of the Okefenokee Swamp, near Waycross, Georgia. Crew members Moore, Murrhee, and Peny survive, as does a single civilian, Mechler. Four others either jump at too low an altitude or die when their chutes foul the airplane; the other five never manage to leave the plane and die on impact.
Widows File Suit - Several of the civilians' widows will file suit against the US Air Force, asserting that their husbands died because of Air Force negligence (see June 21, 1949). Their lawsuit will eventually become US v. Reynolds, a landmark Supreme Court case and the underpinning for the government's claims of state secrets privilege (see March 9, 1953). (Siegel 2008, pp. 3, 14-17, 33-49)
Initial Associated Press reports of a crash in Georgia of a B-29 that had been on a test flight for the Air Force's secret Project Banshee (see October 6, 1948) acknowledge that "the plane had been on a mission testing secret electronic equipment which RCA developed and built under an Air Force contract… Full details of the plane's mission were not disclosed.… The Air Force would say only that the bomber was engaged in 'electronic research on different types of radar…'" Local papers have a bit more detail, with survivor accounts hinting at confusion and some contradictions between their versions of events and that being given out by official Air Force spokesmen. Later reports from the Air Force will downplay the B-29's involvement in Project Banshee. (Siegel 2008, pp. 56-58)
Frank Folsom, the executive vice president of the Radio Corporation of America's RCA Victor Division, writes a letter to General Hoyt Vandenberg, the commander of the US Air Force. Folsom is inquiring about the deaths of two RCA employees in a recent B-29 crash in Georgia (see October 6, 1948). The plane had been on a secret test mission for the Air Force's Project Banshee, a missile development project in which RCA is heavily involved. Folsom believes that the Air Force is downplaying the likelihood that pilot error caused the crash (see October 18, 1948), and tells Vandenberg that "certain steps will [need to be taken] if we are to participate in the future in Air Force flight test programs." Folsom wants more pay and compensation for RCA employees participating in Air Force test programs, as well as newer and safer airplanes to be used in the test flights and a higher caliber of test pilots and crew members. Perhaps the portion of the letter that causes the most consternation among Air Force officials is Folsom's request to read over the official accident reports. "When a crash has occurred, a copy of the official report… must be made available promptly to us," he writes. "Needless to say, the report will not be disclosed except to those who are directly concerned." Folsom's letter will spark a new round of Air Force investigations into the crash, in hopes of mollifying Folsom. However, the report from this investigation will be classified at the highest level of security and not provided to RCA. Additionally, though the second investigation will find a strong likelihood of pilot error causing the crash, the Air Force will not admit any such findings to RCA. (Siegel 2008, pp. 65-80) These accident reports will play a key role in the lawsuit filed against the US government by three widows of killed crew members (see June 21, 1949 and August 7-8, 1950).

By this somewhat scientific-sounding research conducted on my morning walks, I can say with all of the credentials of one who taught eighth grade Social Studies twenty years ago, that Portage la Prairians are friendly people. They are also people of great compassion. I met a mother and daughter on the crescent this morning who were trying to rescue a lost little duckling. Serena Suderman and her daughter had found this wee little runt close to Dominoes Pizza, on the corner of 18th Street and the Avenue. They took it to Crescent Lake and tried to get it to go in the water, but this little duck seemed to be afraid of the water. It took off running in the opposite direction. The Suderman family finally had to give up. Just as well, I suppose. The poor little thing would probably not be strong enough to fly when it is time to migrate. They tried. We can't save them all. Here is a video of a family who was escorted from downtown to Crescent Lake earlier this summer. And here is the full story. Great Duck Walk Story and here is Karen Gross' earlier response to the original story.

Expert Advice For Finding The Best Laptop For Your Money
Do you need a laptop? Are you hoping to save a few bucks on your next laptop? Do you want the process to be easy and worry free? If you have answered a yes to any of these questions, you will want to read on.
If you watch a lot of multimedia on your laptop, like DVDs games,, Netflix or Hulu, get one with a good-quality, devoted graphics chip. There are many video games available; however, if your graphics card is just an integrated chip set, you may not be able to run them. Choose between a dual-core and quad-core processor laptop.
If you enjoy gaming here and there, you don't necessarily need a state-of-the-art gaming laptop. You could just get a medium range laptop for that purpose. You probably don't really need to pay extra to get a designated gaming machine. Hold onto those extra dollars.
When you purchase a laptop online, do not pay extra for productivity software or word processing. They usually charge more than if you were to just buy it separately. You can buy software from a less expensive retailer and install it yourself in minutes. You can save 20-30% or more.
Figure out if you're able to upgrade your laptop's RAM before you purchase the thing. You may not need the memory now, but you might in the future. Upgrading is always less costly than purchasing a new PC. Think about it before you make your decision.
Once you decide on a budget for a laptop, consider bumping it up just a bit. Rapid advances in technology make cheaper models obsolete in short order. Adding a little RAM or file saving capability may ensure that your computer is more useful for a longer period of time.
When shopping for a laptop, be sure to consider a Windows model along with a Macintosh. The Windows laptop will usually be less expensive, but there are many folks who simply prefer to own a Mac. Try them both out at the local electronics store. Then go online and read reviews of the ones that you are interested in.
Be smart about your laptop purchase. Visit several electronics stores to check out their laptops. Experiment until you feel completely comfortable with your final choice. Once you identify the make and model you like, research more online for good deals.
Test you laptop out thoroughly during the first month you have it. Typically there is a 30 day return policy for all computers. Even if video editing is not something you are planning on doing the next couple of weeks, try it out to get an idea how it will be when once you need it. This is the time for you to be sure that everything works like it should.
Do you now feel better about getting out there and making a laptop purchase? Do you know how to save money but still get a great quality laptop? Did these tips make the buying process a little easier? We certainly hope so! Go forth and shop!

Happy Friday from Rancho Palos Verdes!
Where it's overcast but the flowers are blooming and butterflies are fluttering around.
I had to share photos of some of the colors I see on my walks down to and along the Terranea Bluff.
The Bougainvillea is all over blooms. The jasmine blossoms, planted as landscape shrubs, smell heavenly, that's right no photo yet. Then the Matilija Poppies remind me of white skirts blowing around in the breeze. Breath taking for flower lovers.
My block #2 'Woven Time' in the B. O. W. quilt 'Rest and Refreshing' by Piecing the Past, link above, is finished. Obviously I'm not using Civil War reproduction fabrics. I just couldn't bring myself to it with so many tropical colors around me here. I've written down the color inspirations I'm using, some of the colors are avocado, lemon, lime, mango, bougainvillea pink etc. The traditional piecing is a fun challenge. And the 'little sewing machine' runs like a champ.
I'm linking up with Julie and Linda, Sew Stitch Snap Share.
Lot's of great projects are being shared, check it out for inspiration.

A particular trend could move up and down. We have an uptrend when each local extreme (maximum and minimum) is higher than the previous one. When there is a downtrend of course, the situation is the opposite – each local extreme is lower than the previous one. Uptrend line is drawn on the local minimum and analogically downtrend line – on the local maximum.
Once we have determined the trend line in the opposite extreme, we can draw another line that is parallel to the first one. Thus we get a price channel, which is expected to continue the development of the current trend.

If you are confused that what is an ira then you should first understand the importance of Traditional IRA. Make sure the traditional type of IRA contributor can easily reduce the tax bills and other great expenses. Well, when you don't need to pay any kind of tax until you get the payment of the retirement in the traditional TRA. Instead of this, in the system of the traditional IRA, all the contributors are not deductible taxes. However, all the money investment grows the tax-free even you will withdraw the money along with the tax-free charges. Let me explain the traditional IRA in brief in upcoming paragraphs.
More about traditional IRA
Whether you are going to choose the option of IRA then you must need to pay attention on the tax deductible system first. Basically, if someone put near about $6,000 into the IRA, then that individual's taxable income will automatically get decreases by the amount of the contributions so you should pay attention on this thing first. In addition to this, people those are older than 50, can easily contribute more than $7,000 per year along with the use of catch-up contributions. In order to grab more facts related to the contributions you need to read the reviews online. It could be really valuable for you.
IRA withdrawal
If we talk about the withdrawal rule of the IRA then it is very easy and beneficial which allow you to gain the money at any time from the IRA. Instead of this, one thing that always keeps in the mind is that you need to qualify all the expected aspects that you don't have to pay for the any tax or any kind of bills. Therefore, be preparing for choosing the option of this great option so be ready to get chance of it. Nevertheless, you can easily decide that you should open this account or not and once you decide then simply take help of the experts to get knowledge about it. It would be really a valuable choice for you to get best outcomes in future.

Premier League Week 34 Fixtures: Live Stream, Predictions and EPL Expert PicksApril 12, 2014
Liverpool and Manchester City go head to head in Week 34 of the Premier League in a game which could be of huge significance come the end of the season.
The table-topping Reds host Manuel Pellegrini's side on Sunday; City currently sit four points behind Liverpool in third but with two games in hand, while Chelsea split the teams in second.
If either side takes three points at Anfield they will be clear favourites to claim the title, while a draw will leave things wide open.
At the bottom of the table, Norwich will be looking to bag all three points against Fulham ahead of their daunting run-in which sees them play four teams from the top seven.
Read on for a full fixture list, viewing information and predictions, as well as expert opinion on who will prevail this weekend.

Liverpool vs. Manchester City
It's ever so tight at the summit of the Premier League with little to choose between the three sides at the top.
A win for City on Merseyside would make them firm favourites for the title because of their games in hand, at home to Sunderland and Aston Villa, while a Liverpool victory would leave their fate in their own hands.
However, both Paul Merson on Sky Sports and Mark Lawrenson on BBC Sport are predicting a 1-1 draw in this game, a result which would put Chelsea firmly back in the race.
Both pick out the return of Sergio Aguero, as reported on the Guardian, as a significant factor, a valid point as the Argentinian has bagged 15 goals in 17 league games this season, per Squawka.com.
Liverpool and City are by some distance the highest-scoring sides in the Premier League this season; they have scored 90 and 84 goals respectively, per ESPN FC.
And with Aguero returning and the Premier League's three top scorers in Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge and Yaya Toure on display, a goal-fest is not unlikely.
Prediction: 2-3
Fulham vs. Norwich
The Cottagers looked dead and buried a couple of weeks ago, sitting bottom of the league at the end of March and five adrift of safety, per the Premier League.
However, things are looking more positive for Felix Magath's side now.
They have moved up to 18th and although they are still five points from safety, their nearest rivals are this weekend's opponents, Norwich, in 17th.
A home win at Craven Cottage and Fulham could be fairly confident of avoiding the drop as the Canaries have to face Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal in their last four games, a run of matches from which they'd be lucky to garner a single point.
However, EPL Index have tipped Norwich to win this crucial game, with Gary Hooper earmarked as a key man:
Norwich are in desperate need of goals having scored only 26 in 33 games this season, bettering only Crystal Palace's tally of 23, per ESPN FC.
It will be the first game in charge for new Norwich manager Neil Adams after Chris Hughton was sacked following a 1-0 loss to West Brom last weekend, per BBC Sport.
Prediction: 2-1
Swansea vs. Chelsea
Chelsea will already know the result of Liverpool and City's clash when they take to the field at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
However, their job is simple: They must keep winning to have any hope of Premier League glory.
Sitting two points behind Liverpool and two ahead of City, they are relying on others to take points off their rivals and will need to turn around a run of three away losses on the bounce to overcome Swansea.
A loss to Paris St-Germain and 1-0 losses to Aston Villa and Crystal Palace in the league do not constitute a good recent return away from Stamford Bridge for Jose Mourinho's men.
But Ben Welch of FourFourTwo is predicting a return to winning ways for Chelsea:
He picks out Andre Schurrle as a key attacking man for the Blues, especially as top scorer Eden Hazard, who has 14 league goals this season per BBC Sport, is a major doubt for the clash.
Meanwhile, Swansea are looking to mathematically ensure their safety for this season, but they may be looking ahead to more winnable games against the likes of Aston Villa and Sunderland.
Garry Monk's side sit in 15th, six points off the drop, but there are likely enough teams below them for last season's League Cup winners to be safe.
Prediction: 0-3

These little blueberry cakes are a snap to make and perfect for a sunny spring day. They're best served warm, right from the oven, so make for a lovely dessert to share with friends. If you don't want to use blueberries, an equal weight of raspberries, rhubarb or even peeled, cubed apple can be used instead.
Makes enough for 4-5 medium ramekins
280g blueberries, fresh or frozen
65g + an extra 3 tablespoons sugar
1 egg
80ml whipping cream
85g self-raising flour (or just use an equal weight of plain flour and add 1 tsp of baking powder)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp lemon juice
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Put the blueberries in a bowl, with 125 ml of water, 65g of sugar and the cinnamon and lemon juice if using. Stir until the blueberries are coated with the mixture.
Divide between 4 or 5 medium ramekins.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of sugar, the egg and cream. Add the flour and stir until just combined - don't over mix it!
Pour the mixture into the ramekins and sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar on top of the batter (or you could sprinkle a cinnamon-sugar mixture onto the batter here…I highly recommend it!).
Place the ramekins on a baking tray (to stop juice dripping everywhere in the oven).
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until well-risen and golden brown.

When my mother died in 1993 of breast cancer while I was still a teenager, the only thing I wanted was a family. As I grew older and went away to college, watching as moms helped their daughters move into dorm rooms, talked them through their first major breakups, and sent care packages of cookies, candles, and candy, I knew I could be more specific. I didn't just want a family. I didn't just want a baby. I wanted a daughter.
I told myself that when I had a daughter, things would be better. That I would stop hurting so much and missing my mom so much. I told myself this at 18, when I worked at the Gap and used to have to run into the dressing room to cry after watching mothers and daughters try on clothing together. I told myself this at 21, when I went home with my best friend and watched her mother help her daughter learn their family's secret recipe for pecan pie. And I told myself this again and again.
At graduation from college when my mother wasn't there to tell me it would be OK. When I had my first major breakup with a live-in boyfriend and she wasn't there to comfort and empower me. When I got married and couldn't share my joy and pride over the man I married with the one person who would have loved him as much as I did.
I counted the days since I'd last called someone "mom." First it was 10. Then 30. Then 700. And on and on. I longed for the nurturing. For that pat on the back. For the reassurance that no matter what happened, someone loved me above all else, unconditionally, and with her full heart.

And I knew when I had a little girl, that hole would be healed. I would be fine. I would be whole, indeed. In my head, the mother-daughter relationship was unbreakable. Nothing on Earth could compare to it and no one could possibly match it. Not a sister, not a husband. Not a best friend or a father.
But then I had my daughter.
In 2007, on the coldest day of the year, I gave birth to my first child. I'd known she was a girl since week 13 of my pregnancy when my ultrasound revealed it. I cried with happiness and relief, sure this was my opportunity to replace what had been taken from me so long ago. But right from the start, I realized motherhood was nothing like daughter-hood. Because a baby is helpless. A baby can't even lift her little head. And every ounce of the mother's energy, even her physical body, goes toward keeping that little person happy.
I loved being a mom, but the emotional healing I'd been expecting was absent amidst the midnight feedings and nursing issues and poop-spread sheets and torn nipples so many first-time moms experience. I loved my daughter, but being a mother was nothing like being the child. I wasn't being nurtured. I was nurturing. I wasn't crying and being held by someone, I was doing the holding. And this continued.

I remember the first time my daughter told me she wasn't my mother. It was the 18th anniversary of my mother's death. My daughter was 4.
"I am your daughter, not your mother," she told me.
I don't know why. It may have been the fact that I was crying and hugging her, looking to her for comfort in that moment. Even her 4-year-old brain could sense my expectations were too high. And maybe they were.
But they aren't anymore.
As she has grown, I have had mixed feelings about motherhood. Some days I am nailing it, self-sacrificing with aplomb and remembering to get them all to do their homework. Other days I fail and cry in the bathroom over the lack of time to myself and my inability to find my oldest's karate uniform. I have three kids now and it's all a constant mess of overwhelm and chaos and love and noise and sports equipment.
I have days with my daughters (I have two now) that feel magical and bonding. Like the yoga class my daughter helped me teach to a local girl scout group. Or the night I let her stay up late watching Troop Beverly Hills, a movie I'd loved as a kid. But we also have rough days where she drives me insane and all the bad qualities I have in my personality manifest in her and I have to ball my fists to keep from screaming profanity in her general direction. They say it's normal with preteen girls. I hope it is.
But I am not fixed. I am not healed. Being a mom has been rewarding and challenging and full of twists and turns. It is nothing like I expected. And having a house full of love -- three kids, five pets, chaos all day, all the time -- has gone a long way toward healing my broken heart. But I still miss my mother.
I no longer think there is some perfect fix out there waiting to be discovered. I now understand that grief is forever. It fades, but comes back acutely at random times -- and on anniversaries, birthdays, and even some smaller holidays and celebrations. Her absence is part of the story of my life and no amount of children could replace a relationship that is irreplaceable.
More from CafeMom: 'Loves Me & Makes Me Toast': 14 Kid Experts on What Makes a Great Mom
I love to bond with my kids. To take them shopping. To take yoga classes and get our nails done and share secrets and gossip and laugh together. I am acutely aware of how precious it all is and I love being their mother. I am grateful for every second. Because, even though my daughters have not been a replacement for the mother-daughter loss I experienced, the grief has made one thing abundantly clear: Life is precious. Every second matters. You just never know when it could all be gone.
I wouldn't wish this loss on anyone. And no one could replace my mother in my heart. But I am constantly aware of how precious each second is when I am with my children. And I will never take that for granted; I will never take a trip to the Gap for granted. Even if it's not what I hoped it might be, given I am the mom and not the daughter, it is still a moment I am thankful for.

Are you a time blocker, or do you aspire to be a time blocker?
Time blocking is a popular scheduling technique used to proactively plan how time will be spent.
Instead of planning 'interruptions' (i.e., meetings), time blockers set aside chunks of time devoted to specific tasks.
For instance, you may decide to block out three hours each Tuesday and Thursday afternoon for writing; this will be your time during the week to focus on completing writing projects. If you are in sales, you may block an hour every morning for cold calling, or customer outreach.
The goal of time blocking is to regain control over your schedule.
Ready to get started? Here's a simple way to time block your calendar.
- Determine the tasks you need to time block. Begin by thinking about which of your daily tasks need focused, dedicated time. Writing, customer calls, employee reviews, invoicing, design work, brainstorming are just a few examples.Identify and list two or three of these types of tasks for your week ahead.
- Determine how much time to block for each task. Now, look at your list and think about how much time you need to devote to completing that task.You may want to set your time blocks week-by-week as each week may be different for you. Over time, you may notice patterns to your weeks. For instance, if you're the webmaster for your company, you may decide to dedicate three hours on the Wednesday of the last week of each month to make website updates. Or, maybe you need to do website updates for one hour each Wednesday. With time blocking, you decide which blocks of time fit where on your calendar.
- Now, it's time to schedule your blocks. Now it's time to get these tasks onto your calendar. And, if you're anything like us, you want to do this the fastest, simplest way possible.For Google Calendar and G Suite users, the new Woven calendar is a time blockers dream. With Woven Smart Templates, you start time blocking by creating a template for each task block. You can associate all the task details with the task from within the template; location, time, conference call details if needed, private and public notes, tagging for time tracking, color coding, even add colleagues if you include them in the task. Woven stores each template with all the details associated.Now that you have your time block templates created in Woven, it's easy to schedule these week-by-week, or you can schedule out a month or two in advance. Whatever works best for you.
Bonus Tip:Take your time blocks with you. Woven is a mobile-first calendar. Available for download on the iOS App Store, Woven lets you easily manage your time-blocks on-the-go.
Take control of your time today, with time blocking and Woven.

NMC part 1 competence exam is a Computer Based Test (CBT) intended for nurses trained outside the European Economic Area. From April 5th, 2019, NMC announced a change in overall passing score and exam retake. The decision as to whether a candidate passes or fails the CBT is governed by an overall pass mark now. This means that a candidate must achieve an overall pass mark to pass the CBT.
The format of exam retake has also changed. From now on, as part of one application, the candidate can have 3 attempts, with a minimum 10 days between each attempt. If the candidate is unsuccessful at their second CBT attempt, the application with the NMC will automatically close, but now they can have a third attempt, by sending an email to email@example.com to request this option.

Heading to an outdoor event? Here are three things to keep in mind.
Deirdre Cosgrove fact checks the notion that E-numbers - especially food colours - are bad for you.
Slow cooking is a method of cooking which uses relatively low temperatures (79°C – 93°C) for a long period of time to cook food.
"We're doing a campaign to encourage people not to wash raw chicken in the autumn" I said, matter-of-factly. "Oh" they said. Tumbleweed.
"Wait, what? You said don't wash the chicken? But we've always washed the chicken - Granny used to wash the Christmas turkey too; I thought it was covered in germs!?"

AbstractSingle-site, well-defined, silica-supported tantallaaziridine intermediates [≡Si-O-Ta(η2-NRCH2)(NMe2)2] [R=Me (2), Ph (3)] were prepared from silica-supported tetrakis(dimethylamido)tantalum [≡Si-O-Ta(NMe2)4] (1) and fully characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and 1H,13C HETCOR and DQ TQ solid-state (SS) NMR spectroscopy. The formation mechanism, by β-H abstraction, was investigated by SS NMR spectroscopy and supported by DFT calculations. The C-H activation of the dimethylamide ligand is favored for R=Ph. The results from catalytic testing in the hydroaminoalkylation of alkenes were consistent with the N-alkyl aryl amine substrates being more efficient than N-dialkyl amines. © 2016 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

It seems like China's homegrown manufacturers are now beginning to produce products that are very good in quality. An industry in which this can be observed rather clearly is smartphones, where Chinese/Taiwanese brands such as Huawei/Honor, Xiaomi/Mi, Vivo, Oppo, OnePlus, Lenovo, ZTE, Gionee, HTC, Meizu, etc., now manufacture and sell phones that are in no way inferior to stuff coming from American, Korean or Japanese brands. In fact, Chinese/Taiwanese brands are actually pushing the innovation envelope. If, as a country, China keeps focusing on customer-centered innovation, cost-control, quality, and after-sales service, the time when Made in China becomes as respected as Made in Japan or Made in Korea isn't far.

Airbus is switching to a Cloud-based American product - Google's G Suite - Is Airbus out of its mind? [COMPACTIDEA]
I actually couldn't believe my eyes when I read that Airbus - one of the crown jewels of Europe and one of the most important competitors of America in both passenger aircraft and defense/military products - is switching to a Cloud-based service [Google's G Suite] from its current on-premise product [Microsoft Office]. Is Airbus's CIO really such a fool that he's going to put all of Airbus' sensitive communications, documents, emails and other stuff right in the hands of the Americans? Does he really not believe or know that the Americans are going to get real-time access to all of Airbus' data stored in the Cloud? Perhaps this is what the famous British saying "penny wise, pound foolish" means. This CIO will practically outsource his own job to Google to save some money and give away all Airbus data to his competitors. He should be fired without any delay.

Huawei is a giant now, and there are real reasons why America is so afraid of it
Just one read of the introduction summary of Huawei on its current Wikipedia article is enough to thoroughly impress the reader. Huge number of employees, huge revenue, huge profits, vast number of countries served, huge spending on R&D [spread across the world], large proportion of employees engaged in R&D, very wide product portfolio, and so on. In short, impressive in everything it's doing. And it's growing by leaps and bounds. No wonder the US is scared of Huawei. To the point that it's routinely using lame excuses to slow down Huawei's growth [it won't work]. The fear is real. In Asia, Europe and elsewhere, Huawei is stealing business from American competitor companies. Huawei is making innovations which threaten America's current lead in electronics/semiconductor technology. Huawei is earning China truckloads of foreign exchange through exports. And in a way Huawei is also an instrument of China's foreign policy. America is rightfully frightened by Huawei's rapid ascend, but fortunately it cannot and will not be able to stop Huawei's - and China's - rise. America's era is fading away.

It shouldn't be ruled out - it's possible that climate change, global warming, etc., are concepts created by America's CIA to weaken oil-dependent enemies such as Russia and Iran
I'm myself a science and mathematics guy, but I also see pretty well how America's CIA works behind the scenes in unimaginable ways to influence the minds [and ultimately actions] of the world's people, ultimately to harm America's perennial enemies - Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, etc. So when I say that it's possible that contemporary global concerns such as climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, global warming, environmental damage, etc., have been created and fueled by pro-US and anti-world agencies of US [chiefly CIA], it shouldn't be labeled a conspiracy theory and quickly written off. Instead, the possibility should be allowed. The CIA has every reason to make people switch from fossil fuels and petroleum to electricity and other renewable sources of energy - it would severely weaken crude-dependent economies of US adversaries such as Russia and Iran, and increase the relative power and dominance of US. What's not to like here?

The modules for Handspring's Springboard Expansion Slot can be thought of as apps installed on a mobile operating system [COMPACTIDEA]
If you think about it broadly, there isn't much of a difference between the hardware modules that were available for Handspring's line of PDAs, and the software apps that we routinely install on mobile OSes such as Android or Windows Phone. The PDA device itself can be thought of as an OS, which provides a platform for expansion. And we insert various hardware modules into the PDA to add/provide specific capabilities. Sounds just like what applications do to an operating system.

We are Limited by Imperfect Information.
Of course we also know that "perfect" information isn't always available when we make these choices. We are at a disadvantage with our limited understandings so looking at short term gains is not always helpful. Without perfect information it is often wise to make choices so you maximize opportunities. Limited information poses a risk.
Make Choices that Maximize Opportunities.
Likewise, it is helpful for being strategic about your life and about business. Having some goal that maximizes opportunities in the future allows you to weigh and balance the different options using the same vantage point. If you consistently apply the goal you will be able to connect all of your choices.
Evaluate Your Choices
Finally, it is also helpful in reducing stress. If you focus on the long-term then small set backs are not the end of the world. You just adjust and keep on moving toward your goals. There will be lots of different roadblocks and obstacles on the way so you might as well minimize their stress value.
Minimize Impact

"Like you're slipping on a banana peel."
Unorthodox, perhaps, but "everybody got it," tenor Scott Russon said. "It was a real hairpin dynamic, and then a sforzando . It was really quite amazing."
Another time, Murphy asked for a sound like flicking a wet towel and added, "I want to feel a welt."
A sound like a welt? From the Mormon Tabernacle Choir?
"He's an incredible educator," said alto Cherilyn Worthen, a former Brigham Young University classmate of Murphy's who now works with him to train the newest choir volunteers. She directs the Thursday-night school for incoming singers, while he is conductor of the preparatory Temple Square Chorale. "When he's in rehearsal, whether with professionals or total amateurs, he comes up with a clear description of the sound he wants."

The Economic Activity of Peru
Peru has one of the most vigorous economies in the South American region. Its GDP in 2007 is estimated at $198 billion, the 49th biggest in the world based on parity purchasing power (PPP). During that year, it recorded a GDP growth rate of about 9%. Major industries include mining and refining minerals, steel and metal fabrication, fishing and fish processing, textiles, and food processing. The services sector records the highest value in percentage of the country's GDP with 65%; followed by manufacturing at 26.4% and agriculture with 8.5%.
The Peruvian economy experienced a strong development during the mid 1990s. Foreign direct investment played an important role with 46% of which was associated to various privatization initiatives. The economy recorded stagnation from late 1990s to early 2000 mostly attributed to the El Nino phenomenon, global financial crisis, and aggravating trading conditions. By mid 2002, nearly all sectors have shown significant improvements. The fishery-export industry saw considerable recovery and at the Antamina copper-zinc mine opened resulting to a registered expansion of the minerals and metals export sector trading. Net international reserves at the end of 2006 reached $17 billion and more than $20 billion in 2007, almost $11 billion higher over its 2001 performance.
In 2007, Peru signed a free trade agreement with the US known as the United States-Peru Trade Promotion. By November of 2008, it is expected to finalize the China-Peru Free Trade Agreement. It is expected that Peru's real GDP at the end of 2008 will be among the highest in the Latin American region. The Peruvian government has also signed an agreement with International Monetary Fund (IMF) which includes very excellent economic growth perspectives over the next 5 years.

I could write a thousand words
while endlessly trying to make certain I protected your heart
I had a dream that I was standing at the waters edge
staring down at the water,
watching the lights sparkle and dance
I saw 3 of the most beautiful, magical orange scales
laying there beneath the surface.
The lights of the water danced upon them
then as I watched
the lights of the water was dancing upon the 2
as they danced together
and looked like a butterfly in flight
I do not have the words to explain to you what was shown to me in that moment
as the universe opened in that moment and reminded me of what we feel like when we are spirit
And in the place where we are spirit, it all made perfect sense..
Then I heard the words, Let them go, he has a journey he needs to make…
With that I turned and was driving down a country road, when suddenly swooping in over the top of me, and guiding my path the largest bird I have ever seen. with a wingspan that stretched across both lanes of the road and color so dark I could not translate what kind of bird was now being given to me as a spirit guide.. This spirit bird guided me down the road then disappeared for a moment, and as I looked around trying to see where it had gone, its shadow came across my truck and guided me down the road…
all my love,
I will see you again when the blue butterfly asks me to come sing to you… All my love…

Ahh! I've never been so happy to be HOME! :) It took me 6 hrs. to drive home today after work due to an ice storm that hit the midwest. Bleck! Every muscle in my body is sore. It was pretty tense to say the least. But... now I'm here -- and on vacation for over a week!!! Heaven!
I wanted to share a card I made for the latest Moxie Fab World Challenge! The challenge was to make a holiday card/tag with a 'woodsy' theme. I've had this Imaginisce dotted owl sticker for months and thought he'd look pretty spiffy decked out with a Kim Hughes Santa hat. :)
I don't know if anyone has a stamp with this sentiment... but if not, it needs to be made. ;) I used little alphabet rub-ons for the top portion and applied them directly onto my twill. (The twill is suppose to look like a scarf.)
The holly and sentiment are also Kim Hughes images by CHF. I stamped the holly and then drew a line to give the owl something to perch on.
If I don't see you before Christmas, I hope you all have a WONDERFUL holiday! I've got some super fun Christmas gifts that I need to blog... but I don't want to give away any surprises in case my family's peeking. :)
