Host your best-ever cocktail party with dishes and tips by Gourmet Traveller and Winning Appliances. Martini anyone?
When it comes to entertaining, the kitchen is the new dining room and a relaxed style is the new black.
Guests enjoy nothing more than pulling up a stool at the island bench to chat while you cook, making this the ideal way to serve a series of shared plates and drinks.
For a Japanese-style cocktail party, for instance, kick things off with a large platter of super-fresh sashimi, mixing it up with salmon and tuna, say, served with julienned daikon (unless you have the knife skills of a Japanese chef, use a Japanese mandolin for this, and place the daikon briefly in iced water to crisp it up).
Of course, it's no party without drinks. Sake is always a sympathetic partner to seafood, and you can glam it up for cocktail hour in a Saketini - a Martini with sake in place of the vermouth. Just add a green olive for garnish, or a ribbon of cucumber for a refreshing twist.
Next serve a round of chicken tsukune, while you eat flash-grill teriyaki-glazed bonito, both on easy-to-eat sticks. Beer works well with both of these or try something a little richer: mix umeshu, a sake-based ume liqueur, with sweet vermouth and lemon juice.
With a main course of Japanese prawns and rice with hot spring eggs, keep things simple yet elegant with wine, perhaps an aromatic skin-fermented semillon.
For extra fun, set up a help-yourself bar at the end of the bench for guests to make their own drinks. Kampai!

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Recovering From Identity Theft and other Identity Theft topics.
If you are the victim of credit identity theft, the first step is to report the crime to the police and notify the credit bureaus, Federal Trade Commission (FTC), your creditors, and your bank. Chances are, you will be spending time making phone calls, setting up new accounts - and mailing letters, police reports, and affidavits. After you've followed all the identity theft repair tips to straighten out the financial mess, the next step is to figure out how your identity was stolen and how to regain your privacy. Was it over the Internet? Did your wallet get stolen? Did you answer a survey that may have been a scam? Did you have enough identity theft protection?
Regardless of how it happened, someone took advantage of your personal information, making you the victim of the fastest growing crime in the United States. The cost of identity theft is not only financial, but emotional. Identity theft victims suffer the same types of emotional hardships as do victims of violent crimes. Dread, anger, embarrassment, feelings of helplessness, and disbelief can accompany the financial mess you've been thrown into. The third step in identity theft recovery is dealing with the emotional impact of being a victim. Be patient, recognize your emotions, and know that your reaction to this traumatic circumstance is normal.

How Our Words Shape Our Kids' View of Themselves

"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never break me" is a phrase that initially appeared in 1872 to teach kids that name-calling was harmless. It was one of the greatest lies ever told to kids. Words hurt. And the words we repeatedly hear can become self-fulfilling prophecies.
People tend to act in line with what they believe is expected of them. We tend to be clumsier when around people who think of us as clumsy. We have more to say around people who think we're interesting. "Mean" kids are likely to continue acting mean when they're persistently described as mean.
In other words, the labels used to describe us can lead us to believe that certain behavior is a fundamental part of our nature.
Overhearing someone say something not so nice about us affects us and has an impact on our relationship. Think about it. When is the last time you overheard someone say something nasty about you. How did it make you feel? People's negative perceptions may not break our bones, but they sure hurt.
The same is true for kids. What we say to kids matters more than we think. It shapes their personality and shapes the relationships we develop with them, well beyond the childhood years.
Research suggests that labels can alter behavior. In one study, Rosenthal and Jacobson were able to show that kids whose teachers expected enhanced performance performed better than other kids. Approximately 20 percent of the students in an elementary school were chosen at random and presented to teachers as "intellectual bloomers." All students were given the same IQ test at the beginning…

Hey y'all.
Thanks for the wonderful response to the post the other day. Knowing that people are reading and care, certainly does make a person happy to put their thoughts out there. I've got a recipe coming up here one of these days, but for now, I figured we'd just keep sharing life.
We've got a good old four day weekend going. I needed the break and so far it's been really nice and relaxing. The day started off with a nice fun run with Jackie and Kaitlin. I had a great time with Mike and Eddy for our church Executive Leadership Team (ELT) meeting. And then the bulk of our day was spent with our friend Connor who just got back from Peru. He was part of a team of 13 that went with Leadership Excursions/Endurance Leadership. We were very excited to get to hear all about how God was working down there. Both on the team that went as well as with the orphanage there.
We made some sandwiches featuring Herbivorous Butcher "meats". Oh my delicious. Jackie's favorite is the "turkey" slices, I personally like the "pastrami" the best. Whatever way you slice it, it's all good. Connor was a fan, which is always a plus, when your omnivorous friend, digs the food.
We had planned to drive to Maryland to check out the Red Shedman Farm Brewery. We've picked up some of their raspberry cider in the past and it's super good. We thought it would be fun to put the dog in the car and head out there to hang out and try some beverages while playing some games and catching up. It was perfect for all of that. First off the Farm has beer, cider and wine. We didn't check out the wine today but we sampled everything else. Its set in such a beautiful location, there are rolling hills and trees everywhere. You've got the vines for the winery surrounding all the sides of a nice little grove with picnic tables set up. (In retrospect, I really should have taken some pictures of the property… gotta get back in the habit.)
We tried a flight. I personally thought the best beer was the Lunatic Fringe. A Belgian IPA that was infused with habanero. Jackie was a fan of the Raspberry Cider, and Connor's favorite was the Farmers Daughter, a wheat beer.
Here's Connor and I just enjoying a moment there on the picnic table. The beard is so much bigger isn't it!
Connor fell asleep with Olive in the car on the way back. But he woke up in time to show us a rocking backflip off a tree. After we got a good video we wanted to try to do a boomerang video…Well it didn't work quite as well, but it's super funny to watch. 🙂
The real highlight though was hearing the stories, and challenging each other on what's going on in our lives. Connor asked the question as to what our greatest fear is. I'll tell you what, it takes a good friendship to get vulnerable and really share that. It's been a blessing to have him here as an intern and getting to know him. Between him and Bethany we're going to be really sad when this season of life is over and we have to go to remote relationships.
We're going to end off the night by going to see Despicable Me 3. I'm excited, Jacks is super excited. It should be a whole lot of fun. We're going to sneak in some Earth Balance White Cheddar Popcorn. 😉

I've got little bits left over from past projects, too small to ever be part of a new sewing project themselves. I've got remnants I picked up at JoAnn with no plan in mind. I've got old clothes that don't fit, or aren't in style anymore. I have an entire shelf just about full of fabric.
Here's a project that uses bits and scraps from old projects to create a decorative garland. I used fall colors for mine, but your color scheme is really only limited by your available fabric.
Rope, thick yarn, or string (on hand)
Rags and fabric scraps (on hand)
Time: 1 hour
Cost: Free!
The first step of this project is to go through your scrap fabric and pick several odds and ends in coordinating colors. My color scheme included orange cotton, green, white, and orange stripes, blue and white striped utility fabric from an apron, some white muslin, some natural linen, and a beige and brown polka-dot knit from a shirt I bought that turned out to look terrible on me.
Assemble all of these and make sure the colors are harmonious:
|You can also see the white cotton rope that I decided to use
If you want to have a pattern, keep your piles separate. Otherwise, go ahead and jumble everything all up!
Find a comfortable seat, and start grabbing strips, either in a pattern or at random. Tie them around your rope or string--tightly enough to hold, but not so tightly that you can't slide them around a little bit. This will let you adjust the spacing of the rags on your garland.
I started out keeping mine very close together, but ended up spacing them out much more in the end because I liked the look better.
Continue to tie until you run out of space or rags, annnnnnd... that's it! You're done! Tack it up someplace and then sit back and enjoy your handiwork.

Vouchers For Veterans
Connecting Veterans Living in NH and Southern Maine with local Farmers
Vouchers for Veterans is a 501 c 3, non profit organization created in 2016 by Jeanne Grover and Alicia Frye.
It is the mission of the Vouchers for Veterans program to show gratitude to local veterans for their military service by offering market vouchers to use at designated NH and Southern Maine Farmers Markets.
The farmer's have an abundance of crops in the month of September yet the markets slow down due to the loss of tourists and children going back to school. We therefore have chosen September as Vouchers for Veterans Month creating a win for the Veteran, a win for the Farmer, a win for the Community.
In Strafford County, any elegible Veteran living within the county
may go to the Rochester Farmers Market to receive $20 in vouchers each Tuesday in September for market purchases. There is no cash value and they are not transferrable. The Veteran must be present to receive the vouchers. The Strafford County Vouchers are only redeemable Tuesdays in the month of September, 2019, at the Rochester Farmers Market.
To be eligible to receive the vouchers, Veterans need to bring one of the following to the Rochester Farmers Market: a copy of their DD214, Active Duty ID, a
health care
enrollee ID card from Veteran's Affairs,
a NH Drivers License with the "Veteran" designation plus a current NH Driver's license showing they live in Strafford County.

I was looking back at my old posts this month and I noticed that it was this month, one year ago, when I made the decision to end my multiple year long, uninterrupted, World of Warcraft account (Be MOP #253)
What is more impressive with is that I have stayed away from World of Warcraft, not coming back for the Siege of Orgimmar patch, the when the reveal and the beta of the Warlords of Draenor was announced. Unlike some of my other friends I did leave the years on Azeroth bitter or looking back on my years playing with bitterness. If you remember I left World of Warcraft not because a game decision from Blizzard or because I hit a gamer's equivalent of 'rock bottom' it was because I was guildless and I was burnt playing one game, almost exclusively, for years.
Looking back I am glad my years in Azeroth, it was a costly experience yes, but it was an experience none the less. It was only from my years of playing World of Warcraft: I have realized and got a hands on experience on what is needed for a good team composition and what makes an amazing teammate (Be MOP #103). Because of the years of listening to World of Warcraft podcasts and reading the strategy guides of the latest 5 man dungeons and raids, I have experience and learned about good and bad game play mechanics which I used when describing why Super Mario 3D Land was fun for me (Be MOP #349)
Most importantly of all playing World of Warcraft gave me the opportunity to create this blog, and with that I have dramatically improved my writing style and techniques which is amazing considering a few years ago I had some terrible writing and testing anxiety. While this blog has not cured my anxiety, I have seen improvement over the years in how I write from forcing myself to write something -anything- every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
And World of Warcraft has continued helped me even after leaving the game
World of Warcraft was the gate way to the PC gaming platform, before WoW I never picked a PC game having gaming experience be limited to the family Nintendo system, but over the years I have bought better and better gaming laptops to handle the newest expansions and to preform better when I am needed the most in a raid. As a result I had a pretty nice machine to adequately run current PC games on Steam.
Because of World of Warcraft and blogging about it for so long it has gave me the blogging experience on how to write blog posts continue blogging about general videogame topics, something I do not think I could have succeed in the way that I did the get go. All that blogging experience and confidence helped me take the leap into creating, and broadcasting on my own Twitch account, something I know I could not have done without this blog giving me confidence and experience on how to talk to people with my own voice.
As a result from my year of writing about other games all these posts has helped me focus and form my own opinions about other videogame topics. From the silliness of a moral dilemma I have with Tf2's hats (Be MOP #254) to the more pressing problems with pre-ordering games, hacking up content of the main the game to sell as exclusive gaming platform perks or DLC for extra profits to, to the videogame company's love of Bullshots (Be MOP #348).
Now, most importantly, I do not have to worry about getting the most value out of my monthly subscription I feel less guilty spending my nights playing games of other generas and a because I am no longer in a dedicated raiding group I have a free-er schedule to actually play these games. A full time job does interfere with my preferred gaming schedule but because my job gives me money each week to buying MORE games and other things, I am inclined to let my job eat up the majority of my week.
Looking back, even though I know I am never going back to World of Warcraft (Be MOP #375) I do not regret any of years leveling up my characters, chain running instances and raids, grinding for dailies, or hunting for the rare achievements in the game because it helped be grow into a better gamer and a better person on and off line.
Find me on Google+ for updates on this blog
Be MOP focuses on the world of videogames with my own reflections about the current news and developments that happens throughout the gaming industry. Updates Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays

Car Accident Lawyer
Getting you the compensation, care and medical benefits you deserve after a motor vehicle accident.
Download our complete Motor Vehicle Accident Recovery Kit
Why You Need a Car Accident LawyerRegardless of who is at fault in the car accident, everyone involved in a car accident is legally entitled to receive income replacement, medical and rehabilitation costs covered, attendant care and housekeeping costs covered as well as even home modification in appropriate circumstances. You may also have a claim against the at fault driver or other negligent party that caused or contributed to the accident. You need a lawyer to help you with both processes as the law surrounding car accidents is complex and insurance companies are adversarial when it comes to claiming after a car accident. You need a car accident lawyer and law firm that have over 100 years of combined experience dealing with car accidents. You also need to hire a lawyer and law firm that has credibility with the insurance companies, meaning that the firm has handled trials and appeals in court with success. When you retain Himelfarb Proszanski, you have retained a law firm that has credibility, experience and heart. We will help you achieve a settlement that you deserve with the tenacity and toughness required but with compassion to your situation.
What Your Car Accident Lawyer Will Do
Your car accident lawyer will move quickly to investigate the circumstances surrounding the accident. This means that the lawyer will contact the investigating police officer and department to obtain more information that may be helpful to your case. Your car accident lawyer will also interview witnesses to the accident right away while their memory of the accident is still fresh and statements will be recorded so that the witness cannot change their story later. Your car accident lawyer will also visit the scene of the accident to determine if there are other factors that may be at play, for instance the signage on the roadway may be faulty or the roadway or intersection may be poorly designed, or maintained. This may require the addition of other parties to your lawsuit for compensation. Your accident lawyer will also engage engineers and accident reconstructionists so that your liability case is solidly built. It is extremely important to start building a winning case right away by effectively dealing with the liability issue.
Your car accident lawyer will also gather all of your medical and rehabilitation records. Your employment records, tax returns, pre-accident health records will be obtained. Your car accident lawyer will liase with your treating doctors and will secure all of the accident benefits that you are entitled to. This means that our team will make sure that you receive income replacement quickly so that you can continue to pay your bills. We will also ensure that you get your rehabilitation and medical costs covered. If you need attendant care and housekeeping services, we will arrange for and make sure that these costs are covered. Also importantly, we will deal with your insurance company so that you do not have to. We will resolve any dispute that you may have with your own insurance company when receiving no fault benefits. This gives you the ultimate benefit of peace of mind so that you can concentrate on getting better.
Your personal injury lawyer will also retain experts to provide appropriate reports so that you have a winning case, while maximizing your compensation for a car accident. Your treating physicians and specialists will also provide reports which will solidify the foundation of your case. We make sure that you have an overwhelmingly good case by building a winning case. At Himelfarb Proszanski, we build winning cases. We have done this for many years. The evidence in your case is the most important part of your case. We make sure that your witnesses are properly prepared and that your experts are beyond reproach. You deserve to have a winning case and that is exactly what your car accident lawyer will do.
How it Works and How We Work with You
Your car accident lawyer will move quickly to secure the accident benefits that you are entitled to. While you are recovering, your car accident lawyer will also start building your case against the at fault party or parties so that you receive the highest court award possible. Your car accident lawyer will assist you through the process with compassion for you but with intelligence and toughness against the insurance company. We will invest in your case by paying for all experts and agreeing to be paid only when the case is eventually settled.
Your car accident lawyer will ensure that you have a team of experienced lawyers and law clerks that will handle your matter. We will get to know you and your family. We will understand your situation clearly and will convince the insurance company that you are entitled to the highest court award possible. This is done by preparing your case for trial and proceeding to trial if necessary.
Here's What Our Clients Say
Often the public perceives lawyers in a negative way; but I can honestly say that David Himelfarb has the utmost ethical standards of any lawyer that I have dealt with. He took the time to explain the particulars of my case, was always available to take my calls, always returned my calls and his team of Clerks and Assistants were equally as professional and courteous. Should I ever need legal representation, I can assure you that I will retain his firm.
Adina Williams
My no fault benefit claim was handled by the firm and was settled quickly and for a very good amount. The firm is extremely professional and dedicated. I would highly recommend the firm to anyone who has been involved in a serious accident.
Victoria A. - Toronto, ON
I would like to extend a sincere thank you for your assistance regarding the legal issues and my claim for disability benefits. Your knowledge and expertise led to a quick resolution and a successful outcome. From the onset, you were honest with me about my case and yet always kept me in the loop as to what was going on. I appreciated your "up front" approach from our first meeting.

Ecole Hoteliere at Lavasa takes pride in shaping some of the most promising young talent; who have gone on to build illustrious careers in the field of hospitality. We take this opportunity to share some of the success stories of our Ecolians.
Tahrana Pirozmand
"Ecole for me is a roller coaster ride that will take you places professionally by transforming you from what you were when you joined to what you become when you graduate. All I did was buckled up and enjoyed the ride. Ecole is what it is because of the amazing unique faculty, diverse students and serene environment. Emotions are bittersweet now as I part with Ecole towards my future endeavours but couldn't be more fortunate to have been here; as it not only channelized my potential towards my career but also transformed me into a mature and better me."
Chaitanya Adgaonkar
"Ecole Hoteliere at Lavasa has played a tremendous role in my professional and personal development. At Ecole, there is a perfect symbiosis of academics and hands-on learning and it has equipped me to handle the challenges of the dynamic hospitality industry. Working with the latest equipment, new methods of learning and student driven course work provides the students of Ecole Hoteliere at Lavasa a big edge. Ecole Hoteliere at Lavasa above all, instills great values in its students so they become responsible leaders of the future."
Nikhil Advani
"Ecole Hoteliere at Lavasa has given me one of the most challenging and memorable roller coasters of my life. It has helped me transform from a teenager just out of high school to a thorough hospitality professional. Apart from all the theoretical knowledge, it has also exposed me to various hands on experiences and two core internships. It has not only taught me hospitality, but a way of life. I will be forever indebted to Ecole Hoteliere at Lavasa for who I am and who I will become. The very reason I chose hospitality was because it gives you an opportunity to travel the world and meet new people while at work. I wish to start working in the sales and marketing department in a hotel in Dubai and eventually travel the world with the same company to explore various parts of the world, experience cultures and share varied experiences. I eventually plan to start my own chain of restaurants incorporating the experience I have gathered with my hospitality experience in various countries , to come back to my country and create a niche".
Jennifer D'souza
"A question asked in one of the group discussions 'what matters, college name? or the course the college is offering?' at the time I was uncertain, but I answered "they both go hand in hand and complement each other'. Ecole has not only changed the perspective of hospitality management, but also revolutionised it. 4 years ago I would have never thought I could have been moulded into what I am today. This place has left me with so many joyful memories, it has taught me how to be a better person to others and to myself. I aspire to work with a reputable brand and eventually startup my own venture in the hospitality industry. I would like to thank my facilitators for always telling me to free my mind and spread those wings, as the sky is the limit. Lavasa maybe a holiday destination to some, but to me.. It's where my life began."
Sarabpal Bami
"Four years of my life spent in Ecole Hoteliere at Lavasa have contributed immensely to the development of my thinking, personality and a hands on experience in various fields of hospitality. One thing that I will cherish the most is representing my college at the Young Hoteliers Summit in Beijing. Now, at the threshold of my career, I am joining The Oberoi Cecil, Shimla to get a wider exposure of the industry".
Ayesha Kutar
"I will never forget my time at Ecole Hoteliere at Lavasa. I have such fond memories that will last forever. The bridge at night where I would watch the stars and all my friends with whom I studied and with whom I grew as a person and as a professional. Every one of them is a lasting memory and every one of them I will treasure for the rest of my life. I now work at the Royal Retreat in Udaipur and I thank all at Ecole Hoteliere at Lavasa for helping me in my journey to become a true hospitality professional. I have successfully set up a thriving Sales and Marketing Department at the Royal Retreat and am grateful to Ecole Hoteliere at Lavasa in setting me up for bright and beautiful future career."
Nisha Singh
"It all started on a rainy day. It was the perfect clichéd beginning for a freshman on her first day of college. After being enthralled by the suave and sophisticated seniors who took us novices through the orientation, it was then that I knew I was in the right place doing something that was an essential part of my heritage and me. Ecole Hoteliere at Lavasa changed me for the better. Be it because of our facilitators who went out of their way to nurture us academically and otherwise or interacting with a diverse student body. I graduate not only as student but also as a professional and will take forward my erudition with the knowledge that I have been equipped to handle all that life throws my way. My advice to my juniors and future students is that you are your greatest strength and don't ever forget it".
Shubham Jain
"Throughout my four years at Lavasa, I was never devoid of that awesome feeling. Ecole Hoteliere at Lavasa has played a big part in remaining awe struck and awesome. The people I have met, the things I have learnt, the work I accomplished, have all ensured that I have never been devoid of that particular feeling. Ecole helped me develop a new way to see the world. It prepared me of what was expected of me and what I could expect from the world. Lastly, it helped me cultivate friendships that I am sure will last me my lifetime. So Ecole has not been just a place for me to learn hospitality, but in fact it has been a place where I have matured into far more than just a hospitality professional."
Freya Kerawala
"Ecole has played a big role in the development of my professional and personal life. It is a great starting point for those with a passion for the industry. The course's contemporary, real world, hands on approach will set you up not only for a managerial role in the Hospitality Industry, but for any industry you chose in the long run".
Luvin Paryani
"I would definitely recommend students to train at Ecole Hoteliere at Lavasa. Whatever I am today, I owe most of it to the four years I spent there. I am a very practical and hands-on person. I like doing things and like getting my hands dirty and Ecole Hoteliere at Lavasa is all about the hands-on experiences. I always aspired to own a chocolate factory. I went about my career path in the same way. At Ecole Hoteliere at Lavasa I obtained a holistic view of the food manufacturing business where I learnt all about operations, accounting, financial management, human resources, etc."
Sanjana Agarwal
"Ecole Hoteliere at Lavasa has played an outstanding role in my academic and career development. It has provided me with the balance of academic knowledge and industrial experience which has helped me secure a position as a Corporate leadership trainee at Hyatt Regency, Pune. The 4 years that I have spent here have transformed me into a hospitality professional and I now feel ready to take up the challenges of the dynamic hospitality world. I would definitely recommend all my friends who wish to be future hospitality leaders to join Ecole and explore their potential".
Siddharth Bhole
"Graduating from a premier institute like Ecole Hoteliere at Lavasa is one of the proudest moments of my life. I am confident that my time spent at Ecole will give me the confidence and knowledge to help me face the challenges of the future. The next step in my journey takes me to Glion Institute of Higher Education, London. My decision to pursue an additional year of education was a combination of timely research and adequate mentoring by the qualified and professional facilitators at Ecole. As I contemplate and review my last four years at Ecole, I am excited for my batch mates as we all start out on our own journeys. I am certain we shall make the college proud and I look forward to all of us making a mark in the industry".
Nirmitee Mehta
"Studying at Ecole Hoteliere at Lavasa was the best decision I could have made. It set me up perfectly to join my thriving family business – a restaurant chain called 'Little Italy' – where I am now in charge of the marketing function. My studies at Ecole Hoteliere at Lavasa gave me the perfect combination of a solid academic foundation as well as practical experience that I feel has set me up for life. It gave me the appetite not only to work hard but also to study hard; and I now plan to work in the family business for a year before following my next dream which is to pursue a Masters degree. One of my most memorable experiences as a student was my trip to Switzerland where I represented Ecole Hoteliere at Lavasa and was part of the winning team, at the Young Hoteliers Summit which took place at École hôtelière de Lausanne. I was also the Valedictorian for the batch of 2015 which was an absolute honour and a memory that I will always treasure. Thank you to Ecole Hoteliere at Lavasa for making my dreams come true."
Ayussh Kukreja
"4 years later, Ecole has provided me with all the support, education and happiness I could have asked for. Lavasa has been my home for the last few years and what I would like to take away from this beautiful experience is the memories we shared and lessons we learnt, both within and outside the walls of our one-of-a-kind college. I'm so happy and fortunate today that I can say Ecole has prepared me for the real world and given me the strength to reach all my goals and fight through all the hard times I will face. I will go back to my family business as Director of Sales and I would like to give all the credits to Ecole. Thank you".

Chicken and leek is a good combination, you can make that into pie, soup, quiche or even stuffing. I should use leek more often in my Asian cooking considering the nutrient it has. I'm lucky to get the last leek from the supermarket as many people buy it to make soup for the cold weather. (My guessing!) This time I'm putting it into little triangles as finger food.
Chicken and Leek Triangles
(makes about 24)
300g chicken mince
1 leek, thinly sliced
1 bacon, finely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic minced
1/4 cup cream
1/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
12 sheets filo pastry
melted butter or vegetable oil for brushing
- Heat oil in pan, cook the chicken until brown then add the leek, bacon and garlic. Stir for a few minutes until the leek is soft. Add the wine, cream and seasoned with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat, stir in the parmesan cheese. Let cool.
- Lay the pastry onto the bench top, cut it into 4 strips lengthways. Take 2 strips and cover the rest while folding the triangles.
- Brush the bottom strip with butter and cover it with another strip. Place 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture at the end of the strip. Fold the end diagonally over the fillings, then continue folding to the end of the strip to from a triangle. Brush it with more butter. Repeat the process for the rest of the pastry.
- Bake the triangles in an 180c preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until browned.

5 Fun Ideas to Keep Preschoolers Busy While You Cook

A baby sock bouquet makes an affordable yet stylish gift for a mom-
These rose bouquets are fairly simple to make, but they need a good amount of time,
especially if you're planning on making a dozen. Each baby sock rose takes about
You'll need these materials for this baby shower craft idea:
vase or ribbon
baby's breath
silk leaves
baby socks (colors of your choice; 6 pairs to make 12 flowers)
green floral wire
green floral tape
wire cutters
1. Lay one of the baby socks on a flat surface in front of you. Start at the toe of the sock and firmly roll upwards 3 times, slightly angle the toe of the sock upwards, toward the opening. Make sure not to roll too tight, and the roll should not be too big. Once you're done with that, about ¼ inch of the sock should remain flat.
2. Use one hand to hold the rolls in place, then take the opening of the sock with the other hand and begin to open the sock (inside out) over the rolls.
3. Now, your sock should resemble a rose bud. Some people like this look, if you want your flower to look more "blooming", gently pull the rolls up and out.
4. Take your floral wire and cut a length of about 12-
5. Insert the floral wire into the bottom opening of the baby sock rose. Push the wire up as far as it will go without pushing it out at the top. Be careful not to damage the sock.
6. Next, wrap your floral tape firmly around the base of the rose. Once you've wrapped the entire base, keep going downwards and wrap the floral wire ("stem") as well. Slightly overlap the tape as you proceed.
7. When you reach the end, cut the floral tape and leave about ¼ inch extra. Wrap it up the floral wire, overlapping the layer going downward.
Viola! You just made a sock rose flower! Continue making the roses until you get the desired number of stalks – even number so that mom can use the socks!
Now, let's work on the presentation. You want to bring this baby shower craft idea to life. You can either tie the sock rose together with a pretty ribbon or arrange them in a vase.
If using a decorative ribbon, also include the greens and baby's breath. Make sure to use the floral tape to bond baby sock roses, greens and baby's breath together before you tie with a ribbon.
If you decide to use a vase, put your sock roses in the vase first, and then add the greens and baby's breath between the roses to complete the baby sock bouquet.
If you used more than one color sock (for example, white and pink, or yellow and blue), scatter the colors around instead of bunching them together. This creates depth and balance in your baby sock rose bouquet.

2013 Henley Finals: A Grand Day Out
I am running a 'Sunday Service' for my piece on the last day of Henley 2013. A fuller report and many more pictures will follow over the next few days but here is a taster and links to the results and to the official summery of the twenty finals that took place on Sunday, 7 July.
In very hot but otherwise near perfect conditions, eight course records fell including the one for the fastest time over the 2112m course. This was set in the Grand when the GB Eight beat the University of Washington. The previously undefeated Huskies should be proud that it took a national team to beat a college crew and the Brits only managed this by setting a previously unachieved time.
It was a spectacular regatta for Abingdon School who won the Princess Elizabeth (Junior M8+) for the third year running, something not done since 1948, while their old boys, Griffen Boat Club, won the Thames Cup (Club M8+).
In the Diamond Sculls there was an unexpected win for Aleksandar Aleksandrov from Azerbaijan who defeated two formidable opponents, Drysdale and Campbell. We will see much more of him in the future.

6th Day Alice Through the looking Glasses Movie Box Office Collection Total Earning : Well, this week another movie Alice through the looking glasses came in to box office and doing so good business than expectation. The movie is so good and people loving this movie a lot and that's awesome. I think in upcoming days this movie can earn more bucks for the makers but on the other hand movie competing hard with X: men Apocalypse.
Alice Through the looking Glasses Movie Box Office Collection
People have good buzz for the other movie and just because of that movie Alice through the looking glasses going through very bad time in cinema and the director of the movie said that "the movie opened up with the low occupancy". That shows how much people diverting towards other movies and that's bad for the makers of Alice through the looking glasses.
If I talk about the buzz in India movie didn't even opened well and people still attracting towards the other recent release and that's so bad for the makers. In India people attracting towards the angry Bird and that's so bad for the makers.
The Movie stars Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Mia Wasikowska, Rhys Ifans, Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen and features the voices of Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry, Michael Sheen and Timothy Spall. The movie is set to be released by Walt Disney Pictures on May 27, 2016. It will be Rickman's final film role, as he died on January 14, 2016. People have mixed buzz for the movie but I am sure that the movie going to be good hit.
Alice through the looking glasses 6th day box office collection-
Movie opened up with the 30% occupancy and only collected mixed buzz for the makers and that's so bad. I think movie has good buzz but people attracting towards the X:Men and that's why movie going through very bad time.
Movie only collected $28.1 Million from the last three days also movie only collected $1 Billion from the 6 days and that's so bad till now. But I am sure that the movie going to be the good deal for the makers because movie has potential and that's good.

Yoshi Touch and Go Walkthrough
Score Attack
This is really the "training level" of course, to help you learn how the system works. As usual, you get 2 parts.
Part 1
3 coins in center, then add clouds to slide left
If you get all coins, that's 108. However, that's not good enough for a yellow Yoshi which is your aim. In order to get the yellow Yoshi, you have to snag some nearby enemies with bubbles and toss them towards the falling Mario. Your highest points are going to be from the super-fast blue tadpoles. The trick with those is, when you see them zipping across, just make a ( or ) shape to "catch" them. Once they stop moving, you can make the actual circle shape and then gently push them towards Mario. If there is a spikey nearby, impale the bubble on the spike and then use clouds to move the coin.
Your point levels for the various Yoshis are:
The highest I've gotten is 133

The following function matrix.poly allows for the addition of polygons to a plot based on a matrix and defined matrix positions. I have used this function on occasion to highlight specific matrix locations (e.g. in the above figure). You can do the same by overlaying another image (left in above plot) but with this function you will have all other polygon plotting possibilities (e.g. borders etc.).

Party In My Cabana is a warm pink creme that is part of the OPI South Beach collection. I bought it in my local nail supply store and I'm not disappointed with my choice. I spent almost 30mn looking for the perfect pink. It has a great consistency, opaque in two coats and I love how great it goes with my skin tone. I did an accent nail with one coat of NYC Starry Silver, a transparent base with small holographic glitter and medium blue and pink hex glitter. I love the combo!
All swatches show two coats of Party In My Cabana and one coat of Seche vite.

Martin St. Pierre helps Rockford IceHogs defeat Abbotsford Heat 5-2NHL.com @NHLdotcom
ABBOTSFORD, B.C. - Martin St. Pierre had a goal and two assists as the Rockford IceHogs defeated the Abbotsford Heat 5-2 in American Hockey League action Friday.
Rostislav Olesz had a goal and an assist in this first game of the season with the IceHogs, while Steve Montador, Brandon Svendsen and Brad Mills also scored for Rockford (33-28-2), who leapfrogged Abbotsford for eighth place in the Western Conference standings.
Rockford has now won 11 of its last 14 games.
Henrik Karlsson made 33 saves against Abbotsford, who he played four games for last season.
Carter Bancks and Greg Nemisz scored for the Heat (29-28-9), who have won just once in their past six games.
Barry Brust made just eight saves before getting the hook in the second period in favour of Danny Taylor, who made 13 stops in relief.
Rockford opened the scoring at 7:23 of the first. Svendsen made it look like he was going to split the defence but then wired a shot from the slot that beat Brust blocker side.
It looked like the Heat were going to tie the game up a few minutes later. Sven Baertschi's shot from the slot was stopped by Karlsson but with the netminder out of position for the rebound, it was defenceman Montador that blocked Baertschi's rebound attempt, keeping the IceHogs up 1-0.
The IceHogs went up 2-0 with just 10 seconds remaining in the first period. Ben Smith took a pass from the corner and fed it to St. Pierre down low. St. Pierre threw the puck over to Rostislav Olesz but the Czech winger kicked it back to Pierre, who fired the puck into an open net for his 21st of the season.
Rockford chased Brust from the net at 2:11 of the second period, scoring on the game's first power play. Montador one-timed a feed from St. Pierre, beating Brust top shelf. It was his first goal since joining Rockford on March 12 on loan from the Blackhawks.
Nearing the game's midway mark Ben Street had the first quality opportunities to get the Heat on the board but Karlsson got across to stymie not one, but two one-timer attempts at the side of the net.
Then, while still on the power play, Street was forced to haul down Mills on a short-handed breakaway, resulting in a penalty shot at 9:22.
Mills quickly beat Taylor blocker side with a nifty deke to his backhand, giving him three goals on the year.
Bancks got the home team on the board with a short-handed goal of his own. After missing the net on a breakaway on the same shift, Bancks took advantage of Dylan Olsen's broken stick and raced away on Karlsson, beating him glove side for his fourth of the season.
Nemisz deflected Joe Callahan's point shot with just 35.6 seconds left in the second period to draw the Heat to within two.
The comeback attempt was squashed when Olesz buried a rebound into an open net at 14:02 of the third.
Notes: St. Pierre's assist on Montador's goal made him the all-time leader in power-play assists in franchise history.

Add a new rule, "Radio Transmissions":
An Agent may broadcast a Radio Transmission by telephoning D-Ops in an e-mail with the subject line "Radio Transmission". The e-mail's body must contain the message that the Agent wishes to broadcast, which must be an unspaced string of numbers and/or upper-case letters with a length of 30 or more. Upon receiving this request, D-Ops should, at their earliest convenience, make a post with the title "Radio Transmission #{N}", where {N} is the chronological number of the posted transmission (ordered by the dates of posting), and the broadcasted message in its body.

I don't know if anyone has seen this but I'm putting it up.
It has nothing to do with my blog specifically but i thought it would be fun to post.
it's some experiment where some folks made a set of stairs into one of those giant play pianos kind of like the one featured in "big" (the movie not the porn).

by Sandra VanderVen My American Dream is that our country will value education enough to properly fund it. That way, no matter how much money a kid's parents have, they have the same shot at success as everyone else.
What is your American Dream?
Last weekend, there were 1,500 meetings all over the country to determine what We The People want the American Dream to look like, and how to make it a reality. It is just what our country needs, and I'm excited to be a part of it.
Chatting with one of the meeting hosts, I mentioned that I'm disappointed that I have to push my son to succeed in school to a degree that I consider unbalanced and unhealthy, because I've realized that the more scholarship money he can get, the less crushing his debts will be after college.
It turned out we were both unhappily turning our backs on our own values because of the economic conditions we find ourselves in.
The choice before my new acquaintance, as a parent of a kid with Attention Deficit Disorder, was whether or not to give her child Ritalin. This drug is addictive. It lowers a child's appetite, sometimes impeding growth. One can imagine that in general, parents would prefer not to use it.
She ended up deciding to give her child Ritalin, and here's why. The public schools where she lives have been limping along, chronically underfunded, for decades. There are just not enough adults in the room to give each kid access to a robust education.
It's even harder for what teachers they have left if the kids aren't all marching to the same beat.
She decided that even though she doesn't know what the long term effects will be (No one knows. Ritalin hasn't been around long enough to find out), the situation was urgent. Her son was failing. His future was in jeopardy.
Schools with more resources offer an environment that allows kids to flourish. Without these resources, kids who don't have a fall-back will end up with more disciplinary referrals and lower achievement, and more of them will end up medicated. Our schools rely on taxes, and when greedy corporations aren't paying enough, our kids suffer.
I told a child psychologist I know about this conversation, and asked for his take on it. He told me that if you are rich, you can hire a tutor, you can enroll your kid in a costly program with smaller class sizes, you can do all sorts of things that help the situation, possibly preventing you from having to medicate your kid.
With the cuts in education funding we're seeing in Washington State right now, kids with ADD that come from poorer families are going to end up in trouble more and medicated more than their classmates whose parents can afford tutors and other interventions. That's not right.
Now I'm embarrassed that I even mentioned having to push my son more than I'd like to. It is nothing compared to drugging your kid as a path to academic success.
Standing alone, the choices look stark: failure or drugs. If we stand together and push our legislators to close tax loopholes for the rich and end subsidies for greedy corporations, we can expand our choices, gaining the ability to make real decisions about what is best for our kids: Staffing levels for public schools that give every kid a chance to thrive.

Celebration of Ram Navami on the ninth day of the month of Chaitra signifies the arrival of divine power on the earth. It is the day when Lord Vishnu was born as the elder son of Dasaratha, the King of Ayodhya. On this day, the devotees of Lord Rama perform some elaborate rituals for the purification of their souls. The purpose of the birth of Rama was to destroy the evil spirit of Ravana. Therefore, the celebration of Ram Navami endeavours to glorify the power of religion and it reflects the eternal conflict between good and evil.
Significance of Performing Rituals on this Day
The day of Ram Navami begins with the offering of prayer to the Sun. The Sun symbolises power. Hindu religion considers the Sun as Rama's ancestor. Therefore, the aim of praying to the Sun at the beginning of that day means to seek the blessing of supreme power. Devotees of Rama spend this day by singing devotional song and listening recitations from various types of religious books. Chanting of Vedic hymns has a key role for such occasion. Preachers also preach sermons from religious texts. All of these customary practices make people aware about the difference between right and wrong.
Importance of Fast on Ram Navami
Followers of Lord Rama maintain fast for the whole day. The practice of keeping fast helps to purify body's system. At the end of the day, a devotee breaks his fast after having fruits and sweets. None can deny the benefits of these types of foods for human body.
Significance of Ramlila on Ram Navami
The religious event of Ram Navami commemorates various events of Lord Rama's life. Cultural programs like Ramlila have a significant part in Ram Navami celebration. This dramatic performance bears an account of Rama's life and his battle with Ravana. We can observe the perfect amalgamation of several virtues in the character of Rama. The Hindu religion portrays his character as an ideal son and a good step-son. It also describes Ram as a loving brother, a caring husband and a responsible King. As a son the character of Rama teaches us that one should to obey and respect the order of one's father and always protect the dignity of one's father. That is why, Rama spent fourteen years in exile in forest to honour his father. As an ideal step-son, he respected the decision of his step-mother Kaikeyi and left ownership of Ayodhya. As a loving brother, he maintained loyalty towards his brother Bharat. As a caring husband, he fought a long battle against Ravana to protect Sita from the grip of Ravana. Through this act, the character of Rama makes men aware regarding their duty about protection of their better half from impending danger. As a responsible King of Ayodhya, the character of Ram represents the glory of sacrifice and honesty.
Significance of Chariot Processing on Ram Navami
Chariot processing is an indispensable part of Ram Navami festival. The devotees place the images of Rama, Sita, Lakshmana and Hanuman in a well decorated chariot and start processing on the streets. Through this processing, the devotees declare about the peaceful days of Rama's reign.
Significance of Taking Holy Bath on Ram Navami
Taking holy bath in the sacred river of Saryu in Ayodhya is a part of elaborate rituals of this ceremony. The Hindus believe that this bath will help in the process of purification of body and soul. In Southern parts of India, this event is celebrated as the wedding anniversary of Rama and Sita.
Significance of Performing Rama's Wedding Anniversary on Ram Navami
In Sothern states of India, devotees observe this day as the wedding anniversary of Rama and Sita. Through organizing wedding of this celestial couple, the devotees of Rama intend to celebrate the loving bondage of husband and wife.
Therefore, we can conclude that the Hindus have given a status of God to the character of Rama for his divine virtues. The celebration of Ram Navami means the destruction of negativity from the earth. The devotees of Lord Rama make an effort to eliminate all signs of evilness from themselves though this festival.
One needs to analyze every single ritual of Ram Navami to understand the significance of Ram Navami.

America now has its second worst mass shooting. And it, as usual, accompanied by calls for gun control. It's no coincidence that we have had quite a few spree killings in such a short time. The lavish coverage of every shooting by the media encourages every shooter to think that he will be famous if he goes out and kills. And that is exactly what happens.
Our shooters are creatures of the media, not the NRA. A media that turns killers into celebrities and then warns that the only way to stop more shootings is by cracking down on firearms.
But no amount of media coverage ever stopped a man with a gun. It only encouraged him. It takes a gun to stop a man with a gun. That is the hard truth of human affairs. It is why we have a Second Amendment, it is why we have armies and police, and it is why people own guns.
There is no going back to a time before people owned guns. There is no going back to a time when violence did not exist. There is only the reality that killers stalk the streets and that we can either defend against them or take comfort in empty outrage.
Guns stop shootings. Not all the time and not every time, but they do. Gun control does not. Media coverage calling for gun control does not.
Gun crime was up 35 percent in the UK which has harsh gun control laws. And Europe has had plenty of its own school massacres.

4.1.2: Pmount fix
December 05, 2008 — BarryKSee recent blog post, reporting this. Pmount crashed when the GTK themes had been misconfigured. gtkdialog only reports a warning to stderr, but Pmount takes that as a fault and exits. I have fixed it.
If you have Unleashed 4.1.1 you can manually apply the fix:
1. Open puppy-unleashed/packages/0rootfs-skeleton-411/usr/sbin/pmount in a text editor.
2. Change line 295 like this:
#[ -s /tmp/pmounterr ] && exit
#v412, no, do not exit if only a warning error msg...
if [ -s /tmp/pmounterr ];then
[ "`grep -v 'WARNING' /tmp/pmounterr`" != "" ] && exit
Note that as per some other recent fixes in 0rootfs-skeleton-411, I will be uploading this as 0rootfs-skeleton-412.pet to ibiblio just before 4.1.2 is released, so you can grab that to update Unleashed.

Shooting for the bottom
I just got back from a visit home-- enjoyed myself immensely, seeing old pals, especially my friend J, who is a teacher. I also managed to run into several teachers I didn't know previously-- working at an Eddie Bauer, working at a Barnes & Noble, and so on, and it depressed me to think about these ladies working retail during their non-teaching hours just to make ends meet, because that was what was going on-- they told me so.
Well here's a little piece of humor masquerading as politics. In another example of closing one's eyes to long term educational consequences in favor of currying short term political favor, the supposedly moderate governor of my home state (which ranks at the bottom for teacher salaries, and money spent per child) has proposed giving a tax rebate to all taxpaying families in the state. Seems "awl revenoo" is looking up- go figure- and so the bright idea of sending each taxpaying family a token check was born.
Nevermind that nearly half the students in public school qualify for free or reduced lunch. Nowhere does anyone contemplate spending the money on teacher salaries in a state which is hemorrhaging teachers across all the borders. The saints who remain behind face some of the most stringent certification standards of any state. For the last ten years, the only way a teacher could get more money short of moonlighting at Sam's Club-- which always makes your students respect you more when they see you as a checker at night-- was to jump through the dubiously objective hoops of the national certification program.
I'm sure the guv is winning friends all across the state who eagerly anticipate their money. But a few bucks in the hands of individuals will buy enough pizza for a family of four a couple of times a year. A couple of million bucks pooled together can buy a lot of textbooks, school repairs, and high-quality teachers.
My home state is not a rich one, but we natives are a proud lot. MHS has experienced a tragic loss of jobs in the last few years, and times are hard for many. In the short term, the checks would make people happy. But one of the reasons why times are hard is that many lack the broad educational background to be able to negotiate the vagaries of the modern job market. So the money would be a wise investment, since companies looking to relocate are doubtless scared off by the lack of support for the concept of an educated citizenry.
I'm hoping someone back there thinks this through and makes an investment in the future.
Thanks to my friend J for the food for thought.

Gyda U. Loken Sirs, also known under the name Lenole, is an upcoming artist from Bergen. She has worked with music almost her whole life and she has never given up on her dream of becoming a famous rapper. I've known Gyda personally six years now, we went to the same high school. Since then, I have watched her grow as a person and an artist.
In January 2014, when Gyda was working on her second music video, she asked me if I could be responsible for the makeup on the creative part. Of course I agreed. I got the opportunity to work with so many talented people and I learned a lot about production. The director was Patrick Nicanor Oldenborg and the producer was Lisa Viktoria Tatiana.
Under this production I was the makeup artist, and here is my work from the music video:
The music video was released during the live broadcast by Norwegian talents, which Lenole participated in. The response to the video was overwhelmingly positive and more than we could have expected. Here are some article published about Lenole: http://www.ba.no/puls/lenole-skadet-for-delfinale/s/1-41-7315068

I like to use herbs for cooking, but it's not common practice in Chinese dishes. I remember when my dad stayed with us in the US he complained that I used to many herbs in my cooking.
This is a really brave recipe; it puts six kinds of herbs together, so I didn't try it until I had tried a lot of other Ottolenghi' s recipes. In the end,this fresh and healthy salad was worth the extensive preparation work (picking through, washing, and drying the herbs).
Etti's Herb Salad
Adapted from Ottolenghi :the cookbook
Serves 4
Serves 4
35g coriander leaves
40g flat leaf parsley leaves
20g dill leaves
35g tarragon leaves
30g basil leaves
40g rocket leaves
50g unsalted butter
100g unskinned almonds
1/2 tsp course sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp olive oil
Gently immerse the herbs leaves in cold water, being careful not to bruise them. Drain in a colander and then in a salad spinner (or by spreading them over a dry cloth)
Heat the butter in a frying pan and add the almonds, salt and pepper. Saute for 5-6 minutes over a low to moderate heat until the almonds are golden. Transfer to a colander to drain – making sure that you keep the butter that's left in the pan. Leave it somewhere warm so as it doesn't set. Once the almonds are cool enough to touch, chop them roughly.
To assemble the salad, place the herbs in a large bowl. Add the almonds, cooking butter, lemon juice and olive oil. Toss together gently and season to taste before serving.
