Romans 12:1-2
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.A lot has been going on lately, as God has been teaching me to let go of many of the things that drive me -- particularly, my career. I haven't figured everything out yet, but I'm slowly loosening my grasp on a lot of what I've been clinging to as I pursue a career in media -- things that have often taken a place higher than God's. There have been a lot of ways that this has been happening (circumstances, thoughts and conversations) -- too many to mention -- but it's brought up some fresh insight into this verse...
"Offer your bodies as a living sacrifice." That says a lot about what I'm going through -- giving up things I've held to (and not necessarily bad things) that may be getting in the way of what life is actually about. Trading things that I've determined are my purpose, for what God says my purpose is.
"Do not conform to the pattern of this world." What is the pattern of this world? An good insight into this came from a bible study I attended last night. Judah Smith spoke on John 5:1-15, the story of a man who had an infirmity for 38 years and sat at this pool where, every so often the waters were stirred, and the first one who got in was healed. This particular man could never get in because he didn't have someone to help him -- someone else always beat him to it.
Judah described the scene as chaos, as this was where sheep went in and out of the city, as well as so many disabled people all trying to get in this pool at the same time. This man had existed here for 38 years, living in chaos because that's the only way he know how to live. Judah pointed out that this is how our lives are on this earth, and especially in my industry: it's cutthroat, where you rely on connections, networking, talent, dedication, hard work, etc. to realize your dreams. Not that those things are all bad, but I find myself discouraged entering this world, because I might not have what it takes; someone else is probably faster or more talented. I probably feel similar to the lame man who couldn't get his "break" because he didn't know the right people.
Then Jesus shows up, who asks him an obvious question, "Do you want to be made well?" The nameless man talks about the times he almost got in, but couldn't quite make it. Then Jesus tells him to get up. He does, and it works!
Jesus showed up with a new way of doing things, contrary to the way of the world; and it's a better way, a path that relies on God's grace and mercy rather than my own cunning or effort.
Back to Romans...don't conform to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to determine God's will (paraphrasing). As I learn to say, "God, you can have my goals and my life," I can't help but come up with the question afterwards, "but then what am I supposed to do?" This verse is the key...
In the process of letting go (offering myself as a sacrifice) and not doing things the way the world does, I will be able to determine God's will. It's as if I can't even know God's will without letting go of my own. So when I can do that, I will be able to learn what God, the One who created me to do something, wants me to do.
That's powerful stuff, and a much needed word as my life transitions.

Ian answers: Elio, your working life sounds very adventurous. The question is, what do you see your life being like during your retirement? Of course choosing where to live is a big part of this and comparing the cost of living in the different destinations is a good idea – but remember financial factors are not the only issue to consider. Emotional elements, such as distance from family and friends can be just as important.
Where's best? Melbourne? Zurich? Vienna?
First, let's do a quick survey of the types of liveability indices that already exist. These rankings examine not only the cost of living but also different aspects of life in a range of cities and – as such – often produce different results.
The Economist Intelligence Unit's (EIU) latest liveability rankings put Melbourne in Australia at number one. The EIU ranks 140 cities from 0-100 on 30 factors spread across the five areas of stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure.A report in The Economist Gulliver blog explains further.
Monocle's Quality of Life Survey 2012 named Zurich in Switzerland top. Monocle, a media company that focusses on global affairs, culture and design, goes for a more subjective approach using 13 categories.
Mercer's Quality of Living ranking for 2011, the latest available, has Vienna in Austria at number one. It asks expatriates about their quality of life in 221 cities using 39 criteria grouped into 10 key categories. These include the economic environment, recreation and public services and transport.
Some of the rankings weight different criteria while others don't. Some use qualitative rather than quantitative analysis. It's a good idea to look at the methodology, see which one suits you best and use the information when picking your own number one place to live.
If you want to compare countries using your own view of what's important (and what's not), the OECD Better Life Index is a fun tool. Users can put their own weightings on 11 topics including housing, the environment and education.
Low cost countries can come with hidden charges
I don't know if your retirement nest egg is in British pounds, euros or another currency – but it might be worth weighing up where your money will last the longest.
The eZonomics article 10 tips for an early retirement makes the point that countries with low living costs might offer a higher standard of living for a lower price. But there can be hidden traps here.
If the country uses a currency different to the one your savings are in, exchange rate fluctuations can hurt. Think back to the pain of Britons living in Spain when the pound fell dramatically against the euro amid the most recent global financial crisis.
Healthcare is another important factor and one that might become more important as you age. Certain low cost countries may have less generous public healthcare provision than you are used to.
Remember friends and family
Although sun, healthcare or plenty of museums and outdoor space may be important, remember friends and family are too. Economist Chris Dillow blogged for eZonomics in Gross National Happiness that academic Nattavudh Powdthavee estimated that, for the average English person, seeing friends or family on most days rather than once or twice a week increases happiness by as much as a pay rise of £15,000 (€18,000) a year. This sounds a lot – but this is because higher incomes increase our happiness only slightly.
Add in the costs of travelling to see friends and family and the idea of living close to them might become even more attractive.
Home is where the mortgage is
Finally, congratulations on being in the fortunate position of being able to choose your retirement lifestyle. I know this is not entirely down to luck. I am guessing you planned for this over many years.
It might be that you don't actually need to make the choice immediately and have the luxury of time to try a few options before making a final decision. If this is the case, renting for a time rather than buying a property can be a wise choice.
Once you are sure you have found your favoured place, perhaps take steps to settle more permanently. I am interested to hear where you choose where to live and wish you a long and happy retirement. Good luck.

A beautiful relaxing trip for my Dad's 80th birthday. Oh, who am I kidding. I was ready for a vacation too! Started in New Hampshire, where we had a celebratory dinner with my Dad's two best friends from childhood. What a treat! The next day took us into Kennebunkport. Of course a must-see was the Bush family compound. Surrounded by a characteristically rocky New England shoreline, but not at all ostentatious. We enjoyed some chowda and seafood for lunch. Subsequent days took us along Route 1 through Kittery and Portland. The journey home took us back through Dad's hometown of Lowell. I do love New England, it's quaintness, beauty and quiet strength. I'll be back.
In the aftermath of today's horrifying events, I must make a concerted effort to remind myself of the good in the world. The people who stop to help strangers, the people who pray, the people who love. Am I angry? Yes. Am I sad? Immensely. Do these feelings help anyone? No. What can I do? I can be more patient in traffic. I can smile more at strangers. I can slow down. There is still beauty in the world...let me be a reminder.
The sound you hear from me after I make a big purchase from B&H. Well big for me anyway. I'm stepping up my game and buying a "real" tripod and ball head, courtesy of Manfrotto. (Not sure I should say courtesy, since I am paying a pretty penny for them!) I've had the items in my cart for several days, reading every single review. I bit the bullet half an hour ago and clicked the "place order" button. Just do it, the famous slogan said. Everyone has their toys...mine come from the photography mecca up on I-95.

Quarry Point & Boreal Forest
Place Category: Things To Do
Recently named one of the South Shore's best beaches by Lake Superior Magazine readers, Quarry Beach runs along the boreal forest for a perfect spot for family picnics.
Two ways to get to Quarry Beach:
- From Highway 13, turn north on Quarry Point Road and follow it back to the little parking lot right near the entrance path to Quarry Beach.
- From downtown Port Wing, take Washington Avenue north, turn left at Quarry Road and follow it west, making the final right turn into the parking lot.
It's worth the trip back to spend some time on Quarry Beach!

Trevor Loveys The Bounce
Trevor's second single for London's Freerange does bounce-with cut-up disco clips and gated 4/4 beats, it's funky house in a vacuum compression chamber with Brass Construction gasping for air. Trevor's own Willesden Rub is smoother and more danceable with its succulent stabbing Rhodes. San Diego's Hipp-E's promising remix is way too similar to Jazzanova's Masters At Work with Roy Ayers remix from two years ago. Same samples, chord sounds, etc. It's good to bounce, bad to bite.

Seawater Osmotic Salinity Power Reality
By: Maher Kelada- MIK Technology- Houston, Texas
Osmosis is nature's gift to life. It is the vehicle that transports fluids in all living cells and without it, all biological functions and all forms of life ceases to exist! Osmosis is the spontaneous movement of water, through a semipermeable membrane that is permeable to water but impermeable to solute. Water moves from a solution in which solute is less concentrated to a solution in which solute is more concentrated.
The driving force of the flow movement is the difference in the chemical potential on the two sides of the semipermeable membrane, with the solvent moving from a region of higher potential (generally of a lower solute concentration) to the region of lower potential (generally of a higher solute concentration).
The term "Chemical Potential" at times can be an ambiguous and elusive. In fact, it is one of the most important partial molal quantities. It is the energy source associated with the activity of the ions of an ionizable substance. It is equal to the rate of change in free energy of a system containing a number of moles of such substance. Chemical potential can be viewed as another form of energy like electrical, gravitational, momentum, magnetic, surface tension, etc.
Thermodynamically, this energy is expressed in terms of what is conventionally known as Gibbs free energy.
To prevent water permeation across the semipermeable membrane, a pressure has to be imposed against the permeated flow to equalize the force created by the chemical potential difference across that membrane. This force is named osmotic pressure. If the imposed pressure exceeds this limit, then water begins to flow from the region of higher solute concentration to the region of lower solute concentration. In this case, the force is named reverse osmosis pressure.
This phenomenon is attracting the attention of researchers as a means for generating power. It is frequently described in industrial terms such as forward osmosis, ordinary osmosis, direct osmosis, pressure retarded osmosis, etc. The major natural source of osmotic energy is the earth's rivers and oceans. Many writers enthusiastically point out the potential of mixing one cubic meter per second (1m 3/s) of river water and 1m 3/s of ocean water to generate 2.7 Megawatt of power. Several others have stated that the global potential of this natural source amounts to 1,600-1,700 TeraWatt hour (TWh) annually.
It is a reality that the process of mixing river and ocean waters would generate renewable and practically waste-free power. However, it is a wishful thinking to assume that this source of low density energy can curb the world's exceedingly demand for energy. It is unfortunate that no researcher, technical writer or anyone at all has attempted to validate a realistic thermodynamic model of this process to evaluate the actual energy requirements to achieve this global power potential. Research is normally done testing purified solutions in micro-scale bench equipment.
Very few U.S. patents in osmotic power generation were granted in the last four decades. The most significant attempt in this field was a U.S. patent No 3,906,250 that was granted to Sidney Loeb in 1975. This patent describes a method and apparatus for generating power by utilizing "Pressure Retarded Osmosis, PRO", a terminology that was adopted by Loeb in his work. This work has both historical and conceptual value in studying salinity power.
However, the author of the present article takes exception to certain areas where contradictory or erroneous information were presented that might undermine the value of this work, particularly in large scale high salinity water applications. Osmosis is a source of low density energy. To harness this energy, realistic operating parameters based on actual field conditions must be clearly defined and analyzed.
The subject of this article is to evaluate seawater osmotic power potential, based on sound engineering practices and without bias or excitement. An attempt is made to analyze the few data points that were published by the recent Statkraft of Norway osmotic test and further postulate a scenario for generating osmotic power from the Mississippi River.
The basic theory that Statkraft of Norway has adopted in developing their osmotic power generation pilot plant that was commissioned on November 24, 2009 is based on Loeb's work. Final assessment of that pilot plant has not been revealed, but it is was stated that the system was capable of producing 2 KW of power at differential head of 120 meters, employing 2000 square meters of spiral wound membrane(1). Despite scarcity of test information, this data is sufficient to debate the merits of freshwater-seawater osmosis power generation scenario.
The osmosis process for salinity power generation is rather simple and requires few basic unit operations; semipermeable membrane modules (M), solutions pumping means (P) and turbine generator (T) to recover osmotically generated energy. The attached simplified schematics illustrate two arrangements:
1) Arrangement of FIG A analyzes a perfect process that comprises the basic components for power generation by osmosis. This system is hypothetically assumed to function as a perfect machine. This implies that the seawater and freshwater delivery pumps (P1, P2) and power generation turbine (T) operate at 100 percent efficiency. It also implies that there is no imperfection in the rotating equipment, no energy losses due to system restriction and no fouling or membrane's concentration polarization problem.
2) Arrangement of FIG B analyses a realistic process that comprises the same basic components of FIG A, but assuming a realistic efficiency of 75 percent for the seawater delivery pump (P1), 85 percent for the power generation turbine and 60 percent efficiency for the freshwater centrifugal pump (P2). These efficiency values are inclusive of the required energy for filtration and flow delivery within the vicinity of the system.
In both arrangements, seawater (SW) at a rate of 1m3/s and 3.5 percent salt concentration (mostly sodium chloride) is pumped through one side of the membrane(s), while fresh water, (FW) with negligible amount of salt is pumped along the opposite side of the membrane, preferably in a countercurrent mode. Freshwater in sufficient amount would be transported to allow for a permeate rate equivalent to the seawater flow of 1m3/s, with an additional capacity to continually flush the freshwater side of the membrane.
In the freshwater-seawater scenario the membrane is rated to permeate water by osmosis from the freshwater side to the seawater side at a rate of 1m3/s. This means that the flow leaving the seawater side is at a rate of 2 m3/s, but now at half of the original concentration or 1.75 percent.
It should be also clear that the seawater pumping pressure into the system is equivalent to the osmotic pressure of the diluted seawater at the point of leaving the membrane to enter the turbine. In another word, the seawater pump delivery pressure is 196 psi (138 meter) that is equivalent to the osmotic pressure of 1.75 percent salt concentration.
Concurrently, the seawater returned stream (SWR) is now at a higher potential than the seawater feed, since it is doubled in volumetric capacity while maintaining its original differential head of 138 meter. This stream can now be preferentially used to generate energy.
Statkraft is reporting differential head of 120 meter supposedly at 1.75 percent salt concentration. This value implies head loss of 13 percent. This discrepancy appears to be contributed to the inability to maintain concentration differential across the membrane. In most cases this is attributed to membrane concentration polarization(2,3), which is common problem in spiral wound membranes that are designed for reverse osmosis.
The unit of 1m3/s is a conventional volumetric flow unit in osmosis applications. The rate of 1m3/s may appear to some as a small amount of water. In fact, the water volume of 1m3/s, in terms gallons, is about 50,000,000 gallons per day. Water preparation and delivery consumes appreciable amount of energy, which require careful examination before considering any osmotic power scheme.
Results of energy evaluation of the perfect system of FIG A indicate that the pumping requirement for this system is 1.73 MJ/m3. While the generated energy, corrected for specific gravity, is 2.76 MJ/m3. This indicates that this system is operating with a positive energy generation of 1.03 MJ/m3, or about 37 percent efficiency. As it appears, Statkraft objective is to achieve this level of energy recovery (4), astonishingly by constructing a perfect machine!
The energy results of the realistic system of FIG B where pressure drop and equipment deficiency have been considered indicate that the pumping requirement for this system is 2.44 MJ/m3, which exceeds the turbine generated energy by 0.1 MJ/m3. This implies that the realistic system is operating with a deficit in energy and it is not economically viable technology.
In light of this information, it would prudent to use reverse engineering to analyze the few data and images that were published by media after the startup of Statkraft pilot plant. This is by no means an analysis of Statkraft system or attempt to undermine their effort and leadership in this field. The objective here is to make some observations that might raise questions about the performance and problems that could be faced in developing the osmotic power technology.
1. If it is assumed that the pilot plant is a perfect machine (100 percent equipment efficiency), then based on the declared power output of 2 KW, the estimated seawater flow should be about 1.94 liter/sec (30 gpm). Such small flow does not justify the large size facility (3,4,5,6) provided, which include six arrays of membranes with each array contains 12 membrane vessels each measuring about 0.1 m in diameter and 1.0 m in length with a surface area amounts to 2000 square meters, the large size of water manifolds (appear as 6-8 inches in diameter), the pumping and the isolation means, etc.
2. Large equipment size imply that Statkraft is either concerned about system pressure drop and intentionally over sized the system to minimize losses, or otherwise the system was designed for higher energy output, but the intended objectives were not achieved. Therefore, the system seems to operate at efficiency much lower than 100 percent.
3. The membrane separation process seems to be affected by concentration polarization since the osmotic pressure relevant to the discharge flow differential concentration; supposedly of 1.75 percent, coincides to osmotic head of 138 meter, was actually 13 percent lower than what it should be.
4. The Statkraft pilot plant is housed in a building where tanks were provided to store brine and freshwater for testing. It is not clear if natural water was transferred via piping system to the testing site from remote sources, supplied by other means or formulated on site. In an actual large scale osmotic power plant the discharge of a river into the sea forms concentration gradient band that extends outwardly for several kilometers. This is a common phenomenon for all world rivers discharging into seas and oceans. To insure constant salt concentration of seawater for osmotic power generation, supply lines have to be extended a long way offshore. This process requires extensive pumping means and transfer piping systems.
It is rather prudent to rely on a realistic large scale example to illustrate the difficulties that can be encountered in implementing a low density energy system such as fresh water sea water osmotic power generation. In this example, a futuristic scenario is contemplated for generating energy using the osmotic difference between the freshwater of the Mississippi River and the saline water of the Gulf of Mexico. This example calls for installing an osmotic power station rated at 100 MW to meet the City of New Orleans expanding electrical demand. Power recovery premise, as postulated by various literatures, is 2.7 MJ/m3:
1. To meet the power generation premise, seawater will be pumped at a rate of 100 m3/s and freshwater rate will be pumped at a rate of 120 m3/s. The additional 20 percent of freshwater is intended to maintain continuous flushing of the freshwater membrane side.
2. Freshwater could be pumping directly from the river within a close proximity of the power station. A utilities plant is required to treat 2.75 billion gallons a day and pump treated water to the station at a rate of 1,910,000 gpm. Water pumping is done in two steps; from the river to the utilities plant (40 ft head) and from the utilities plant to the power station (75 ft head). Total pump shaft power is 92,600 brake horsepower (bph) or 69,053 KW. This excludes power for utilities plant operation and ultraviolet treatment.
3. Pumping seawater is completely a different story. Here, 100 m3/s has to be pumped from some point offshore where water salinity is 3.5 percent. It was reported that the northwestern Gulf salinity during the month of May near shore waters off Louisiana to Texas Galveston Bay can be less than 2.4 percent. This is inadequate level for salinity power.
4. This mandate that seawater intake be placed several kilometers off shore. At the selected location, a pumping and coarse marine life filtration station of 1,600,000 gpm would be installed on an offshore platform and be powered and manned to pump this water to the osmotic power station on shore. Further treatment of seawater in the utilities plant for sediments and microorganism (specifically plankton) removal is required.
5. Transfer pipe or pipes has to be laid on the sea floor of Gulf of Mexico for the intended length. Based on estimated flow velocity of about 3 m/s, this flow would be transported in one single 6.5 meter (21 ft) pipe, or preferably in six- 9 ft in diameter pipes. Centrifugal pumping energy requirements from the offshore platform to the utilities plant, base on 10 kilometers transfer pipe(s), at a discharge head of 100 ft and 60 percent efficiency is 67,561 bph or 50,381 KW.
6. Brine pumps at the power station operate at a discharge pressure equates to the osmotic pressure of 1.75 percent salt concentration. At 450 ft head and 75 percent efficiency, the total pump(s) shaft power is 243,221 bph or 181,373 KW.
7. Consideration should be also given to the discharged flow from the osmotic power station. The estimated flow is equal to the sum of seawater and freshwater flows, or 220 m3/s. This flow rate amounts to 1/3 of Hoover Dam discharge rate. The discharged flow can be returned back to the Gulf presumably in an open canal. Centrifugal pumping energy requirement at 65 ft head and 60 percent efficiency is 97,726 bph or 72,875 KW.
8. Considering the recent Statkraft test experience (7) 100,000,000 square meters or 100 square kilometer of membrane will be required. This estimate would be reduced upon improvement of membrane technology.
In conclusion, large scale osmotic power generation employing freshwater-seawater scheme is amajor undertaking with questionable merits and negative economical consequences. Based on the postulated example of New Orleans osmotic power station, total power requirement is 305 MW, while theoretical power generation is 270 MW. The energy deficit is 35 MW, which could be much higher if realistic turbine efficiency of 85 percent is used and if all the miscellaneous power requirements were considered. Energy deficit can amount to 30%. This example substantiates the claim that is outlined earlier in FIG B.
It is seriously doubtful that any large scale project of a similar scheme can generate any significant amount of power. Osmosis energy generation is unlike generation of any other source of energy; oil and gas, solar, wind, nuclear, waves, geothermal, etc. All of those sources are readily available for utilization, requiring insignificant amount of energy to
exploit their potentials. However, exploiting the potential of osmosis requires consumption of large amount of energy on continuous bases. Unless there is an appreciable energy margin between generation and consumption, the process is futile.
There is a narrow lane of perplexity and exhilaration between reality and wishful thinking. With perceptive logic and comprehensive scientific evaluation, crossing this lane would be avoided.
Despite the writer's opinion about freshwater-seawater osmotic power generation, the potential for power generation employing osmosis is still incredible. There is a new concept in osmotic salinity power, a patent pending technology that is not limited by water availability in a specific geographical locality. It has the potential of generating several folds the theoretical potential of freshwater-seawater scheme and is doable for much less cost. Still large amount of membrane will be needed, but system's power generation efficiency can be in the 60 percent range.
This new technology could be another topic, but it will be for another day.

I don't need to tell you this, but it's Friday and I'm so glad to be done with this week – at least the work week. I took a much needed break from the blog this week as my "real" job was getting in the way. Luckily for you though, this is a long post filled with lots of wonderful things! Hmm, maybe not lucky for you 😉
one// Bryn's wedding!
Caleb's cousin got married over the weekend! It was the sweetest small wedding. First of all, I'm definitely becoming a lover of winter weddings. Who knew? I love the deep rich colors (which is so against my traditional style) and the flowers are always so unique, plus it gets darker earlier changing the ambiance. This was no exception. The ceremony and reception were all in the same venue, which I think makes it super convenient for guests!
It was vintage style wedding with merlot colored bridesmaid dresses. It was lovely and I'm so happy for Bryn & Tim. She's also officially joining the Step Mom club now too! Which I of course welcomed her into and her look was oh yes, the Mom part is fun, the ex part isn't. Yea. It's good and bad.
Any woo, I'm pretty bias, but the absolute best part of the wedding? Besides dancing with my Caleb – was watching Harv steal the show. Sorry Bryn. He was a dancing party animal. He was so excited to dance in the middle of the dance floor with all the lights all.night.long. Seriously people we got home at like midnight. It was a long cranky weekend afterward, but completely worth it!
Jack on the other hand was definitely NOT into the dancing, but the chatting with Caleb's relatives. They grow so fast. #tear.
two// Carson's First Band Concert!
Carson started playing the trombone this Fall and if I'm being totally honest, I never thought he'd make it to October. I fully take that back as it's January, he's still playing away, and even had his first official concert on Tuesday! Oh my gosh I was so proud! He looked so handsome up there and he played so well (for a professional trombone player of 5 months long). They played 4 songs total and he really was focused and doing exactly what he should. It was awesome!
Harv on the flip side did not think it was so exciting or awesome, as he was covering his ears every time a song was played. Ha. Jack and Ava thought this was HILARIOUS. Go figure.
The night was actually a triple whammy (ha yes I said that), as a Middle School information night was held right before the concert. Caleb and I were a little out of sorts as we learned about all that Carson would be doing in MS next year. People we almost have a middle schooler.
I'm not sure what to do with this information. I'm thrilled and sad all at the same time. You know, (Step)Mom feelings. I'm thrilled because I used to teach at the middle school he'll be going to and there was lots that I'm really excited for him about and I also really love the age. Yes. You heard right. I love middle schoolers. In a healthy-non-weird-kind of way. I just think they're cool and fun. I can't wait till all our bigs are middle schoolers & high schoolers! Seriously.
After the concert, we celebrated a successful concert & excitement of middle school things to come with ice cream of course. Once again, Harv stole the show and thoroughly enjoyed this part of the evening. Mom's white sweater did not.
three// Jack & Harvey Toy Adventures.
For Jack's birthday, he pretty much told everyone possible he wanted this specific Lego set. Well, when a child does that, it's guaranteed that they'll get duplicates. This was no exception. So he was thrilled when I said he could go exchange it and pick something new out. He was even more thrilled when I realized we had $15 on our rewards card to spend with it. Per his mother's request (that's me), he did end up splitting the $15 with Harv!
So we spent a good hour wandering Toys R Us, trying to make the best decision. Jack made the "best" decision in under 5 minutes, I blame Harv on the rest. Ok really, me. Harv would've taken the whole store. I wanted something that would last more than the car ride home. Jack picked out a new Xbox game – Farming Simulator 2017 and Harv got a Little People Tractor. You know keeping in the same theme 😉
The best part? I used to have little adventures like this all the time with Jack when he was little. It was so nice to be able to do it with Harv AND Jack. Sometimes I feel like I have so much going on and we're all so busy we don't just slow down. It was nice to do that with my boys.
psst. not sponsored – just telling you what the boys are loving right now.
four// Date Night!
No explanation necessary. I got a night out on the town with my Love & NO BABIES! That alone is a win. We went to dinner and I had chicken and queso fajitas, which I'm pretty sure does not qualify as anything in the vegan, Whole 30, or paleo diet, but I don't care they were amazing. We then jaunted over to the Nothing Bundt Cake by the restaurant and brought home a bunch of little bundlets for the kids to share, me to enjoy, and one for the babysitter! Red Velvet & White Chocolate Raspberry are among are top favorites!
It was only a few hours, but so good for Caleb and I just to be together especially on #nationalspouseday. Plus when we got home, we got a wonderful report from our babysitter (whom we love and adore), and Harv was so excited to see us! It was the first time he's ever had a babysitter that wasn't a family member so Caleb and I were a little concerned, but all went well.
five// Semester End!
This semester kicked my butt (and Caleb's – a teacher husband is a big commitment people). I had FOUR new classes to teach, a stricter schedule than we've been used to in years, a new teacher evaluation program, and about half of our teachers were new and a few were brand new.
The last week of the semester is always the worse. Kids seem to come out of hiding and expect to take their Math grade from an F to an A in a week and usually I'm a frantic mess. Our school is rated on our pass rates, it's stressful. Anyway, I set my self up for a crap week, scheduled mental check ins, and plans to keep myself stressless (including less blog posts – sorry!). Thankfully it all worked and no cranky mom/wife meaning "happy life".
Bonus, my kids worked really hard during the whole semester so there was less panic! It was so nice. Having this posted around my "virtual" classroom helped lots ha!
All in all, I'm so thankful to have this semester behind me (and us!), a better schedule next semester and just be able to breathe.
Carson & Caleb have a big weekend coming up with the Cub Scout Pinewood Derby, other than that we're laying low and I'm all about it. How was your week? What favorites do you have? Make time for a date or some family time? I'd love to hear!
In case you missed it. Here's this week's posts:
- Monday I begged for some advice on adding more kiddos to the mix!

Weed brownies are a natural method to get high without having to smoke the cannabis.
There are several methods to make weed brownies. You can either use raw cannabis, cannabutter or cannabis oil.
The most basic method of course is using raw cannabis. The easiest way is to use a brownie mix which you can buy from the local store. In this case, you will only need oil, eggs, some water and of course raw grinded weed. If possible, use a non-stick glass pan. If using a classic iron tray (which tends to stick), be sure to grease it up with butter and add a thin layer of flour before adding the composition.
Another more refined recipe is to use cannabutter, so instead of the usual oil, add weedbutter. The rest of the recipe remains the same.
For more details, visit our Weed Brownies Recipes section !

Update: Mexican officials say Ethan Couch and his mother entered Mexico under false names. Telemundo 40 spoke to authorities in Mexico>>Ethan Couch Story
UPDATE: Tarrant County Sheriff Department hopes to have the case of Ethan Couch transferred from juvenile court to adult court when he is returned to Texas. At a Tuesday press conference, Sheriff Dee Anderson said the teenager's mother will be charged with hindering apprehension.
One of my sources with the U.S. Marshals Service, not directly on Couch case said Immigration authorities in Mexico are not done with Couch and his mother. Both face charges there of entering the country illegally.
U.S. Marshals are on their way to Puerta Vallarta, Mexico where Ethan Couch has been detained with his mother, Tonya. Couch, better known as the "affluenza teen" has been missing for two weeks. CNN broke the story Monday night.
The Tarrant County Sheriff's Department has been looking for the 18-year-old Couch ever since he allegedly violated his probation. Investigators were also looking for his mother who they said was missing. A warrant was issued for Couch to be taken into custody after his probation officer couldn't reach him earlier this month.
Two years ago, Couch made national news when he was sentenced to probation for a drunken driving crash that killed four people. A psychologist had testified that Couch suffered from "affluenza" and that the 16-year-old at the time of his court case was a rich kid whose parents didn't teach him the difference between right and wrong.
The U.S Marshals Service North District of Texas office will return Couch to Texas. According to one of my sources with the U.S Marshals Service, if a fugitive from the U.S. is a U.S. citizen, the Instituto Nacional de Migracion (INM), which is Mexico's Immigration Service will make a formal determination if the fugitive has an legal status to remain in Mexico. The fugitive will remain in its custody until that determination is made.
INM generally views U.S. fugitives as undesirable aliens, and will order them to be deported from Mexico. The U.S. Marshals who arrive in Mexico will then escort the fugitive to a U.S. destination on a direct flight from Puerta Vallarta.
My source who is not on the Couch case and was speaking in general terms said there should not be a lot of paperwork involved with Couch, because it is an internal Mexican immigration process and not a formal request from the U.S. like an extradition. The U.S. Marshals Service will provide documentation and photos to Mexican authorities.
The process to return a fugitive from Mexico to the U.S. can take between 24 to 48 hours. That means Ethan Couch could be back in North Texas very soon if there are no problems with the paperwork. As for his mother, Tarrant County Sheriff's investigators still have to determine if she was allegedly involved in her son's decision to take off and hide in Mexico.

There are different types of remedies for hair loss, ranging from natural to the more complex techniques, and to synthetic. While the last two are effective for most people, opting for the natural cure for hair loss is always the best way. Using natural hair loss treatments, you never have to worry regarding the various effects that complicated and synthetic treatments might impose on your entire body. Below are some of the natural remedies for hair loss. An all natural cure for hair loss includes drugs and therapy products manufactured from natural sources, but maybe not those goods which are formulated or fabricated. These natural cures are typically created from seeds, flowers, plants, and roots, among the others. The products cleanse and massage the scalp to provide complete protection and nutrition . They help out with providing healthy hair, detoxifying and giving protection from hair loss. If you are looking to learn more about finasteride for sale, go to the mentioned above website.
Aromatherapy is one of the most common natural cure for hair loss. Studies indicate it doesn't just provide impacts into your own body, it helps in the development of hair. Application of essential oils of rosemary, thyme, lavender, cedar wood mixed are regarded as means of stimulating hair growth. Massage is just another natural cure for hair loss. It's usually paired with aromatherapy oils to permit better outcomes. Massage as an all natural cure for hair loss is important in hair growth since it stimulates the flow of blood and provides nutrients needed by the hair to make it a healthful growth and avoid falling out. It's considered that your own natural cure for hair loss can be one of the remedies. Your potion that is homemade may includeherbs, olive oil, and your own conditioners, a side from the essential oils. Hair loss has been associated with inadequate or poor intake of food. Several studies have suggested that when there is an insufficient intake of food comprising magnesium and copper, loss of hair may occur.
It has been shown that the hair is usually among the very initial parts of your body that is influenced when your body isn't getting enough nourishment. As a question of factthere are reports that people who have exceptionally inadequate diet start to reduce their hair at a much younger age when compared with individuals who have a proper diet plan. The very natural cure for hair loss caused by diet is to eat a diet that is healthier, well-balanced . It is also encouraged that you simply take copper and zinc to provide the necessary nutrients, although consultation with a health care provider is required. At the most basic level, better nutrition decelerates dropping and minding other treatments that promote the development of hair. Proper diet is reached by eating adequate amounts of protein, appropriate heights of helpful carbohydrates, and carrying in a part of dietary fats. The use of natural cure for hair loss is actually a long standing tradition. Not all people may desire more sophisticated kinds of treatments and may benefit from this sort of remedy. But which makes use of natural cure for baldness loss has proven effective for them, thus preventing the need for synthetic and invasive treatments.

Musa Jemal Ahmed is a charismatic young man who would rather tackle a problem than dance around it. He has an Ethiopian birth certificate and a history degree, and he spent his senior year serving as the student body president at Lewis & Clark College.
That's why you really don't want Ahmed, 23, confronting university administrators and wondering if he's the only adult in the room.
Unfortunately, Ahmed says he reached that conclusion all too often as he has watched Lewis & Clark wrestle with a series of racial incidents on campus, capped by its dramatic over-reaction to the "disorderly conduct" at a November beer-pong party.
Coupled with the University of Oregon's stupefying initial silence on allegations of sexual assault involving three basketball players in March, we are left to wonder how a university should take the lead in the most visceral conversations about student life.
"We can do it right if we do it deliberately and thoughtfully," Anna Gonzalez, the dean of students at Lewis & Clark, said Tuesday. "Which may not be where the 21st century -- where everything is so quick -- wants us to be."
Back in November, you may recall, a student at Holmes Residence Hall reported hearing several football players use the N-word and yell, "White power," behind closed doors. She did not know the players often joked in those terms, or that the student employing the N-word was an African-American.
Before you knew it, 20 pongers were hauled through college review board hearings, and two were found "responsible" for recklessly causing physical or mental harm, or reasonable fear thereof, and creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment.
As Ahmed notes, Lewis & Clark's sensitivity here is partially explained by previous episodes involving racist graffiti on campus.
But Lyell Asher, a tenured English professor at L&C, argues there has been "a near total lack of transparency and accountability among our administrators," including the "misrepresentation" of the amiable beer-pong exchange to the faculty as "racist chanting."
And Ahmed maintains that Lewis & Clark -- like the powers that be at the University of Oregon -- waited far too long to engage students on issues that captivated, or threatened, the campus.
"We told them repeatedly they should talk to students about these things," said Ahmed, who organized a six-hour demonstration in front of the Frank Manor House last December and took his case to the Board of Trustees earlier this month.
"As adults, we should have conversations around these issues, led by professionals who are trained to have those conversations. And they refused."
Gonzalez disagrees: "I don't know what more we can do. We talk about these issues. All the time. But we need to protect all parties. There are times when the students who have survived this, or have been victimized by this, are telling us, 'I don't want this to be a big deal.'"
Ahmed thinks the resulting confusion is a far bigger issue than confidentiality.
"These things can be dealt with if people honest with each other and they trusted students to be mature adults," he said. "We're very engaged in issues of politics and social justice. They just don't trust us with the information. There was lots of discussion about the football players. All types of students were talking about these incidents. It's unfortunate the administration didn't capitalize on this and join us."
Once upon a time, college deans could control the message, censor the student newspaper, corral that debate.
No longer. When administrators aren't candid and proactive about racial episodes on campus -- or charges of sexual misconduct four blocks removed -- the vacuum is rapidly filled by speculation, opportunism, misinformation and Facebook jihads.
The prevailing tide of things, in other words, in the 21st century.
Students conclude the administration is in denial or hiding under the nearest desk. "You lose complete faith in your leaders," Ahmed argues. You begin to wonder if administrators are protecting the brand, the ongoing capital campaign or the dean who screwed up.
Worse, he said, you may graduate unconvinced the alma mater has your best interests at heart.
Universities can't afford that. And they can't afford to dive into a bunker when the tornado is bearing down.

It turned out, that in order to comfortably run GIZA++ under win32 with cygwin I had to recompile it without the flag -DBINARY_SEARCH_FOR_TTABLE (credits: http://code.google.com/p/giza-pp/issues/detail?id=9).
The full list of steps goes here (I suppose that source corpus is stored in corpus.ru and target corpus is stored in corpus.en):
1. produce vcb and dictionary files with "plain2snt.out corpus.ru corpus.en" (credits: http://vee-r.blogspot.com/2006/12/giza-guide.html)
2. produce cooc file with "snt2cooc.out corpus.ru.vcb corpus.en.vcb corpus.ru_corpus.en.snt > ru_en.cooc" (credits: myself, after analyzing the train-factored-phrase-model.perl from Moses package)
3. run GIZA++ with config file:
outputfileprefix play_giza
sourcevocabularyfile corpus.ru.vcb
targetvocabularyfile corpus.en.vcb
c corpus.ru_corpus.en.snt
CoocurrenceFile ru_en.cooc
model1dumpfrequency 1
model4smoothfactor 0.4
nsmooth 4
onlyaldumps 1
nodumps 1
p0 .999
m1 5
m2 0
m3 3
m4 3
o giza
if these options are stored in giza.config then run "GIZA++ giza.config". This produces giza.A3.final file, typical entry of which is:
# Sentence pair (1) source length 4 target length 7 alignment score : 2.25315e-10
there is a book on the table
NULL ({ }) на ({ }) столе ({ 5 6 7 }) лежит ({ 1 2 }) книга ({ 3 4 })
which means the following mapping:
"столе" --> "on the table"
"лежит" --> "there is"
"книга" --> "a book"
Running GIZA++ under win32 and under linux gives same results in terms of word mappings, except that the alignment scores may slightly differ due to possibly different float point precision models.

What We Do
We Mean Business is a global nonprofit coalition working with the world's most influential businesses to take action on climate change. Together we catalyze business leadership to drive policy ambition and accelerate the transition to a zero-carbon economy.
The coalition brings together seven international nonprofit organizations:
Our mission is to ensure that the world economy is on track to avoid dangerous climate change by 2020 while delivering sustainable growth and prosperity for all.
Our Theory of Change
Translating policy outcomes for business
Mobilizing Business to set ambitious targets and equipping them to implement and achieve impact
Influence government to create the ambitious, enabling policy that business needs to deliver bold climate action
Accelerating through partnerships with investors, cities, states and regions and civil society
Catalyzing business leadership
The zero-carbon transition is underway and forward-looking businesses are harnessing climate action as a driver of innovation, competitiveness, risk management and growth.
We are mobilizing businesses to set ambitious targets and equipping them to seize the opportunities of the zero-carbon transition. Hundreds of businesses have helped kick-start this transition by setting science-based emissions reduction targets and taking action to deliver against those targets by committing to transition to 100% renewable power.
But it is not happening fast enough. The necessary speed and scale of the transition requires all companies and sectors to engage proactively to reduce emissions at the rate required to avoid dangerous climate change. Which is why our coalition is working together to catalyze further, faster corporate climate action.Take Action
Driving Policy Ambition
Business is one of the key implementation partners for governments to achieve the climate targets laid out in the Paris Agreement. Corporate leadership is also vital to aid the necessary progressive increase in ambition of climate targets and to completing the policy enabling environment initiated by the Agreement.
We encourage governments to create the enabling policies that support companies to deliver bold climate action at scale. This includes identifying key policy priorities for development and interpreting their impact for business.
We also represent forward-looking companies and their achievements to government, to help shape the policy enabling environment.Policy
Accelerating Low-Carbon Transition
The zero-carbon transition is at a defining moment, where the combination of bold business decisions and strong policy engagement can accelerate progress at an exponential rate. This presents the opportunity to deliver the dual goals of reducing global emissions and maximising economic growth.
A collaborative partnership between business and government can ensure the transition is achieved at the speed and scale required, securing future profitability for business and delivering national and international decarbonization commitments.
By working together, business and government can avoid dangerous climate change while creating a safer, healthier, more prosperous world for us all.Companies

It was great meeting you both this afternoon. I wish you the best in your endeavors. I'll look forward to purchasing some of your chickens when they are harvested. In the meantime, I'll just keep eating those wonderful eggs that they produce!
Shaari's Unger permalinkJanuary 26, 2015 12:45 pm
Last fall we talked about renting chickens from you, the small chicken tractor and all. It sounded like a great idea and may be in he future.
My concern is the potential for my big garden and migrating birds brining the rented chickens some sort of avian flu, which hopefully does not spread this far. I am cautious though. The risk may be low but the outcome is terrible. We'll still happily come by for your eggs and harvested birds. I just want to be sure that we are not the source of a problem.
Enjoy the spring!
Shaari and Len 🙂 :!)
Christine Lee permalinkJanuary 31, 2015 2:30 pm
Hi, do you sell stewing chickens? I would be interested in buying your hens who are past their laying years. Thank you. Christine

Thuringia is glowing!
März 30, 2008 by admin1000
Filed under Events, Miscellaneous
Just two more weeks and the Thuringian barbecue season will be opened with a celebration at the Cathedral Square in Erfurt! The three "originals" from the 1st German bratwurst museum, Propst Johann von Siebeleben, master`s butcher Huldreich Jacobi and journeyman Hans Wurst, are wearing their garp already – to ignite the bratwurst sausage fire at the museum in Holzhausen. A ceremony, which can not be taken seriously. But those guys always invent something new to promote Thuringias most delicious piece of culture.
On Wed 26th, they did the same for the festival at the Erfurt Cathedral Square. Everything will revolve around the sausage for the third time in a row – "Rusting Culture 2008 – Thuringia is glowing" on April 12th.
Better said, around the "Thuringian sausage" first mentioned in a Arnstädter abbey bill back in the year 1404 – and protected since December 2003 in Brussels. "In the past year, 33000 tons of those were produced!", said Horst Schubert, managing director of the association "Thuringian / Eichsfelder sausage and meat".

Paxil: Mighty to Treat Depression
The active ingredient of this medication is paroxetine, and it belongs to the group of antidepressants.
Paxil is taken to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive, post-traumatic stress disorders and other anxiety issues. Paxil is also used to get rid of night sweats and hot flashes during menopause.
How It Works
Paxil eliminates serotonin deficit in the synapses of neurons of the brain. Due to paroxetine, this medication has a weak anticholinergic effect, and it helps reduce anxiety, cure insomnia and has mild side effects. Paxil is absorbed well, so it takes some time before it starts influencing positively on the organism. Steady state systemic levels of the medication are attained in 7-14 days after starting the treatment.
When to Use It
Paxil should be prescribed by a therapist only.
Before starting the treatment a patient should be fully diagnosed, and thorough psychological anamnesis should be drawn up (including information regarding suicides in the family). Though the medication is used to treat all types of depression, including reactive and severe depression and depression accompanied by anxiety, controlled clinical trials showed that Paxil is not effective in depression treatment among teenagers (age 13-17).
Besides, it increases cognitive behavioral therapy effects and helps people cope with their nightmares and unfounded fears.
How to Use It
One pill of Paxil contains 20 mg of paroxetine and is taken once a day after breakfast. Depending on what disease is treated, the dose can be changed in the following cases:
- While treating depressions, social phobias or post-traumatic stress disorders the dose of 20 mg is prescribed;
While treating panic attacks the dose of 10 mg is prescribed (the minimum dose is used as at first Paxil may aggravate the situation);
- While treating obsessive-compulsive disorder the dose of 20 mg is prescribed and then gradually increased by 10 mg every weekend;
- During preventive treatment a 20 mg dose is recommended.
The minimum treatment course with Paxil is 4 months. Before stopping taking the drug the prescribed dose is gradually reduced by 10 mg per week. Older patients can begin their treatment with 40 mg.
Contraindications and Side Effects
Most medications, if misused or overused, may cause some side effects. However, if they are mild, don't persist or bother you, there is no need to worry as your body gets adjusted to the medication. Nevertheless, the most commonsideeffectsinclude the following:
- Drowsiness;
- Headache, migraine;
- Aggravation of depression;
- Faints;
- Impotence, ejaculationviolation;
- Hostility, aggression;
- Hives;
- Acute glaucoma (rarely), blurred vision;
- Body weight increase;
- Sinusitis, rhinitis;
- Decreasedappetite;
- Mouthdryness;
- Decreasedlibido;
- Excessive sweating.
In case you feel there is something wrong, or some of the adverse effects become severe, seek emergency medical assistance.
Paxil should not be taken:
- With Thioridazine, as it may increase Thioridazine plasma concentration. Note: Thioridazine is used to treat mental and emotional disorders accompanied by fear, stress or excitation;
- During lactation, as a small dose of Paxil may be found in breast milk;
- By children, as it may increase depression and suicidal thoughts.
During pregnancy it is necessary to consult your therapist before starting the treatment course with Paxil. In case pregnant woman is administered the drug, she should be under constant supervision of her healthcare provider.
Storage and Release Conditions
Paxil is available at both land-based and online pharmacies and can be purchased with prescription only. It should be stored in a dry place with the temperature not higher than 25°C and out of children's reach. The maximum storage period is 3 years.

Dolphins WR Jarvis Landry says big touchdown celebration coming
DAVIE—Much like Beyoncé's release of Lemonade, the Dolphins' choreography for an upcoming touchdown celebration is a highly protected secret. They won't allow even a whisper of their plans to leak, but rest assured something is in the works.
"Oh, it's coming," Jarvis Landry promised. "It's coming."
He declined to say whether it will be an individual performance by him or more of an ensemble piece.
"I can't give you all the ideas," he said. "If I give it to you now, then what you got to look forward to?"
Fair point.
Touchdown celebrations have always been a prevalent topic among NFL players, but it's heated up recently with the Lions, Saints, Steelers and other teams unveiling elaborate routines.
This is the first season under the new celebration rules, which the league announced in May as a gesture toward the players to allow more "spontaneous displays of emotion."
Miami hasn't had a ton of opportunities to display its creativity. The team is last in the NFL in points scored at 137, and 27 of those have come on field goals.
Landry said the Dolphins' act will feature "a little bit of everything," but refused to give any other hints.
"You just get your tickets to the show," he said.

What do we want out of life? I want a few things, but complicated and hard to make recipes are not one of them. This Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole really sums up what I want in life. Simplicity, deliciousness, and all my favorite pizza flavors.
As most of you know, I have a Pizza Problem. (And yes, it deserves capitalization. It's a Serious Situation.) So my new healthy habit is trying to turn my favorite pizza toppings into other forms of food. That's why I made these Pepperoni and Pineapple Skewers – that's one of my favorite topping combos. A little spicy, a little sweet. Then I made the Pizza Pasta, which has a great spicy Italian sausage flavor to it.
There's one favorite pizza topping flavor I haven't hit yet, though – Chicken Bacon Ranch. There's a pizza place here in Charleston on King Street called Gilroy's. It's OK pizza, but it's mostly for the hipsters, the college kids, and the late night bar crowd. The later it is, the more people are in Gilroy's. They deliver until 4am, if that tells you anything.
And once you've had a few drinks, a Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza from Gilroy's seems like a really good idea. Not that I would know. It's just what I hear.
I had no idea how much you guys were going to like the Buffalo Chicken Casserole. I mean, I knew it was good, but I like all the stuff I make. I have to, because I have to eat it. Over. And over. And over.
I'm pretty sure we went through 3 or 4 Buffalo Chicken Casseroles before I had the ratios right, the amount of hot sauce right, and photos that made it look appetizing. (Casseroles without cheese are one of the hardest things to photograph. Really. Cheese makes everything look better. And taste better, but my stomach does not agree. Alas, no cheese for me.)
I can tell you that we've only been through 2 pans of this Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole, and I need a break. I've been eating it for breakfast in an omelette, lunch in a hurry, and keep serving it as an easy dinner. It's so filling, it's like the never-ending leftovers. And who doesn't love a recipe that lets you not have to cook for a few days?
You're probably thinking, "you don't, Jessica, you love to cook." Which is true, I do, but if we're being real, I go through phases. I cook a bunch of recipes, and then I'm sick of being in the kitchen, so I stay out of it. Then once I'm sick of looking at Pinterest pins and repinning, I go back to the kitchen.
It's a vicious cycle, but definitely a delicious one.
Anyway, here's the deal. This chicken bacon ranch casserole is just as easy as the buffalo chicken casserole. I'm a big fan of anything you can throw in a pan, stir, stick in the oven, and call dinner. Amiright?
Ok. So go make this one, and report back on your findings. I'm pretty sure husbands, kids, and anyone else that happens to be around will chow down on it. You're gonna need a batch of my homemade ranch dressing for it, so make sure you have that on hand first. If you don't have that ready, or don't have time to make it, you can always use Primal Kitchen's ranch dressing!
Oh, and did I mention it's also Whole30 compliant? Pizza toppings for the win!
- 1 pound shredded chicken
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 head cauliflower, riced
- 10 oz package bacon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup ranch dressing
Preheat the oven to 400°.
Lay the bacon out flat on a baking sheet. Place in the 400° oven for 15 minutes or until crispy.
While the bacon is cooking, rice your head of cauliflower and dice up your onion and place in a 9x11 baking dish. Sprinkle with the salt and stir to combine.
Remove the bacon from the oven and set aside to cool. Turn the oven temp down to 350°.
Place the chicken on the baking sheet and bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until no longer pink. (Leave the oven on!)
While the chicken is baking, chop or crumble the bacon and add to the dish.
When chicken is done, chop up or shred in your stand mixer with the paddle attachment on a low speed. Add the chicken to the dish with the cauliflower, onion, and bacon.
Add the ranch dressing and stir to combine, making sure everything is completely coated.
Bake at 350° covered for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake 10 minutes more. For the last 5 minutes, turn the oven on broil and crisp up the top, watching closely to make sure it doesn't burn!
Serve immediately. Top with extra bacon, extra ranch, or fresh herbs for bonus points!
Leftovers will store in the fridge for up to a week!

As we close 2015 and look with anticipation to 2016, I hope that we will all take some time to meditate on God's Word. Grounding ourselves in His Word will give us hope and encouragement as we start another year. I pray that we would all honor Him more in 2016!
"Do not remember the past events,
pay no attention to things of old.
Look, I am about to do something new;
even now it is coming. Do you not see it?
Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness,
rivers in the desert." —Isaiah 43:18-19 HCSB
"Because of the Lord's faithful love
we do not perish,
for His mercies never end.
They are new every morning;
great is Your faithfulness!
I say: The Lord is my portion,
therefore I will put my hope in Him."
—Lamentations 3:22-24 HCSB
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;
old things have passed away, and look, new things have come."
— 2 Corinthians 5:17
"There is an occasion for everything,
and a time for every activity under heaven" —Ecclesiastes 3:1 HCSB
"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone[f] and give you a heart of flesh. I will place My Spirit within you and cause you to follow My statutes and carefully observe My ordinances. Then you will live in the land that I gave your fathers; you will be My people, and I will be your God." Ezekiel 36:26-28
"Search for the Lord and for His strength; seek His face always. Remember the wonderful works He has done, His wonders, and the judgments He has pronounced." — 1 Chronicles 16:11-12 HCSB

No official cause of death has been made available as of yet, but the post reads as follows:
"Dignity and Respect. 2 things every person on this planet deserves. 2 things very important to Nicole Bass. The past few days I, Kristen Marrone, have been posting to my girlfriends pages to try and keep her very personal life private. Rumors have been spreading around the internet about her health. A few days ago we didn't know all of what was going on so I have been trying to keep it quiet until we had answers. Nicole values her privacy and I Respect that. Before anyone tries to take the story and twist it up and make it ugly I want to put it out there in a Respectful way. A few days ago Nicole got very sick. She was brought into the hospital and they did everything they could to help her. I have been sitting here with her in the room 24/7 since she got here making sure she was being given the best possible care. Today we learned that there is nothing else that can be done. Nicole was an amazing woman. Strong not only on the outside but inside as well. Beautiful soul and kind heart. Many people knew Nicole but few ever got close enough to know the REAL woman that she was. I got to be one of the lucky few. Not only was she my soul mate and my girlfriend but she was my best friend, my teacher and my business partner. I learned many valuable things from her and created many beautiful memories in the time we had together. I would like to keep her page open for her loving fans and friends to share their photos and memories. I just ask that you treat Nicole with the dignity and respect that she deserves. Thank you to everyone that has been reaching out to and helping me through this very difficult time. Nicole, I love you. I will always love you. I will always be yours and you will always be mine."Nicole Bass debuted in WWE in 1998. Here she aligned herself with the likes of Chastity, Jason and Justin Credible.
She then made her WWE debut at Sable's bodyguard during WrestleMania XV. Here Sable successfully defended her WWE Women's championship against Tori. Later on, she became involved in a feud with Debra McMichael, which saw her take part in a Mixed Tag Team Match at Over the Edge 1999, in which Bass teamed with Val Venis to defeat Debra and Jeff Jarrett. During her time with WWE, Bass also formed a brief alliance with Ivory.
After leaving WWF, Bass continued to wrestling on the independent wrestling circuit and became a personal trainer.
On behalf of everyone at Womens-Wrestling.com, we would like to extend our condolences to the family and friends of Nicole Bass.

You can learn to do this on your own.
The body has energy centers and electrical fields in and around it that affect the health of the body. When the electrical field has a shock, trauma, repeated negative thinking or on-going stress the aura/bio-electric field gets weakened. When this compromise happens over a prolonged period of time then the body will become affected in some negative way.
Weve all felt that someone is in our space and that space is the aura. When we are feeling weekend after being around a negative person the aura gets dirtied. After the aura gets dirtied and continues to accumulate mud (negative or dirty energy) the body must work harder to function at full capacity. This is why we feel do drained. Now through some simple techniques you can learn to cleanse the mud from your aura and allow your body to feel lighter each day and after each negative event.
The body is the vehicle that implements the healing and the energy body is what follows experiences. Cancer is not something that happens overnight it has been present in the auric field for up to 20 years.
Enjoy better health through simple daily clearing of the aura. Learn how your hands can remove the mud from the aura. Have a cleared aura will allow the body to function more efficiently. Learn how to clear your repetitive negative thinking through general clearing of your aura.
Most healing techniques require the practitioner to learn complicated rituals, symbols, mantras but Pranic Healing is simple enough to begin using right away. All you need are your hands. The below image shows a person using the Pranic Healing technique applying localized sweeping. These techniques are simple enough to use immediately buy referring to the "Miracles Through Pranic Healing" book.
Reiki is a good healing modality but it can often lead the practitioner to use their own energies. Reiki has been a fantastic foundation for practitioners and laypeople alike to open the doors to more accessible healing teachings. Thousands of Reiki graduates and Reiki Master's have taken the Pranic Healing courses and either added them to their practice or now completely now utilize Pranic Healing with their client's or on their own bodies. Through the use of specific protocols in Pranic Healing for ailments such as chronic pain, allergies, coronary disease, arthritis, sinusitis, sexual impotence, glaucoma, kidney and bladder infections and many many others the individual can work on any ailment just by following this book.
The majority of healing modalities taught around the world, to the general public, use a 7 chakra (energy center) system. Pranic Healing techniques use 11 chakras that will work with the Endocrine System, Skeletal System, and the Nervous System. Working with the 11 chakras, often called the tree of life, allows the body to heal up to 100 times faster.
