If you are hungry and you want some chicken the Chicken pot pie is the perfect dish. If have not eaten this dish up till now you must try this home made version. If cooking is not your thing but you still want to try it you can find it frozen but it does not taste as good as the home made version.
Once it is in the oven and it starts to cook you will be overwhelmed by the smell and how it looks. Just imagine the great smell of chicken and the image of a pie in which chicken is swimming in a smooth vegetable sauce. Top rated dishwashers, stoves, trash compactors and juice makers adorn the counters.
This dish, the chicken pot pie, is perfect for cold weather. If you are looking for comfort food look not further this is. If it is raining outside and nothing seems to make you fill better and you are cold eat some chicken pot pie and you will feel better in no time.
How to cook the chicken pot pie:
- The first thing you have to do before starting to prepare the pie is to heat the oven at 400 degrees F and place the rack in the middle.
- Now that you have set the oven it is time to cook the chicken. Get you chicken and broth and put them in a pot and boil them. You should bring the consistency to simmer and simmer it until the chicken is cooked, it will take about 10 minutes.
- Once the chicken has cooked take the pot from the fire and separate the chicken and the soup. Put the chicken in a bowl and the soup in a cup.
- Put some oil in the stock and put it back on the fire.
- Saute the vegetables for about for minutes: carrots, onion and celery. Add some salt and pepper to taste.
- Shred the chicken in very small pieces and mix them with the cooked vegetables an place the aside for the time being.
- Add some butter and flower over the stock and cook in about 1 minute.
- After the sauce is done add it to the chicken and vegetable mix and pour it in a pie crust.
- Over the mixture add a second crust and place the pie in the pre heated oven
- Let the pie cook until it is golden brown, it will take about 30 minutes
- Take the pie out of the stove and place it on a serving plate. If you don't own a top rated dishwasher, make sure you scrape the pot of any excess food before it dries.
- Enjoy the pie with your loved ones!

It takes work for Timberline to maintain its status as the ski and snowboard resort with the longest-running snow season in North America. It also takes a lot of salt.
Rock salt melts down heavy warm-weather Mount Hood snow of the "Cascade Concrete" variety and allows it to re-freeze in a more compact and less sticky form that makes a far superior sllding surface. Racing coaches apply salt liberally to their courses and park crews spray it onto the in-runs of large jumps with blowers. Without that salt, racers would be constantly getting thrown forward in the ruts leading to high-speed crashes. And free-riders would have a hard time gaining enough speed to clear the knuckle or gap and land safely on the out-run of those large jumps they hit. Anyone who's landed on the knuckle before knows it is no fun.
Salt is a crucial component of warm weather snow preparation on Mount Hood. High Cascade Snowboarding Camp's website is only half-joking when it refers to its team of on-the-hill diggers as "the keepers of the salt and the sultans of the slush."
As for racing, anyone who paid attention to the Alpine events at sub-tropical Rosa Khutor knows that without salt, the 2014 Winter Olympics would have been an even slushier mess than they already were.
Furthermore, chances are that salt use will become even more prevalent as the snow-sports reluctantly adapts to a warming planet.
In the photo to the left, by Mount Hood ski racing photographer Mike Juliana, a race volunteer tosses salt onto the course at Timberline on a warm day.
Timberline uses rock salt, or halite, under a permit issued by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. The environmental group Friends of Mount Hood takes exception to this practice, and recently contributed an opinion piece to The Oregonian arguing that salting on Mount Hood is bad for the environment.
Friends of Mount Hood is already suing the Forest Service to try to stop Timberline from operating chairlift-accessed mountain bike trails during low-snow months.
Timberline has posted an explanatory piece titled "The Use of Salt on the Palmer Snowfield" on the Summer Snow page of its resort website, concluding that "the practice of applying salt to Palmer Snowfield presents no threat to aquatic resources, aquatic biota, wildlife, or drinking water."
I will print the full text of the Friends of Mount Hood complaint, followed by Timberline's defense.
Here is what Dennis Chaney and Karl Anuta of Friends of Mount Hood wrote:
"If you want to enliven the conversation at your next dinner party – short of ending the party, as can happen these days – try bringing up road salting. Everyone will have an opinion. But, should you then mention that one million pounds of salt will be dumped on Mount Hood this summer, you will see a lot of blank expressions.
"The snow-belt states have studied and proven the negative impacts to plants, aquatic animals and water sources caused by salting. These states follow guidelines based on risk management studies.
"And, yet, the U.S. Forest Service permits Timberline Lodge to dump as much salt as the corporation deems appropriate to extend skiing through the summer, without any studies of the environmental effects.
"Salting started at Timberline in the 1950s. Timberline sells lift tickets, meals and mountain supplies, including the salt, to ski camps that train on the snowfield all summer. To be clear, the concern is not the presence of camps. The concern is super salt toxicity possibly contaminating the environment.
"Palmer Glacier and its snowfield is the source of the Salmon River, which flows into the Sandy, and, not surprisingly, there is currently excessive salt in the Salmon system. The Forest Service tracks the salt levels, but it has not studied the effects on flora or the Spring Chinook, Coho, Steelhead, resident trout and the aquatic food chain.
"In 1988, Congress declared the Salmon a National Wild and Scenic River. The Forest Service did a study on how to protect the river. The multi-tons of salt annually dumped for multi-decades at the river's source were not even mentioned. Ironically, this system is a key part of the state's recovery plan for salmon and steelhead. It is unknown if salting is affecting recovery efforts costing millions of tax dollars.
"The Forest Service is not the only agency that turned a blind eye. The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality did nothing until a lawsuit was filed against Timberline in 1996. The lawsuit argued that salting required a Clean Water Act certification. Timberline requested one, which DEQ promptly issued, so the lawsuit became moot.
"The DEQ set thresholds on chloride and total dissolved solids and required "monitoring." However, monitoring is just data collecting, which is done by a private contractor hired by Timberline. Again, like the Forest Service, DEQ has not done any investigating to learn the impacts on plants, animals and water.
"Over the past 50 years, there have been many requests for studies on the effects of salting. For example, a PSU study called for more research and noted that several years of monitoring showed "Conductivity values were determined to be two to three times the values from other snow and glacier fed streams … and sodium concentrations were more than 10 to more than 100 times higher. These levels remain below thresholds of concern suggested by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, but possibly above levels for which species have been adapted."
"The elephant in the room is the meaningfulness of these thresholds, given 50 years of prior salting. Due to the lack of studies it is critical to apply what has been learned in the snow belt, such as, "There is a legacy effect of salt in the environment, which means that concentrations in surface and groundwater will increase, perhaps for decades, even if we stop using road salt today."
"Just as problematic as the lack of investigation is the unwillingness of the Forest Service to take action when thresholds are exceeded. For example, the total dissolved solids were exceeded in eight years out of a 14-year period, including four years straight, and salting continued.
"Sometimes, it is educational to look beyond the borders of our state. The International Olympic Committee permits salting "only to prepare competition runs." Also, salting glaciers has been restricted in Europe. Many European ski resorts have agreed to use mineral salts only for building World Cup ski race courses.
"Mount Hood and its glacier streams is a national treasure managed by the supervisor of the Mt. Hood National Forest on your behalf. Salting will continue until you speak up and tell the USFS, DEQ and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to investigate the effects of salt on our priceless mountain streams."
Here is Timberline's explanation:
The Use of Salt on the Palmer Snowfield
Here on Mount Hood, as is true at ski areas throughout the world, the practice of ensuring a fun and safe ski surface includes applying rock salt. The salt works by essentially melting the snow crystals at the very top of the ski surface, creating a slurry that quickly refreezes as a smoother, faster skiing surface. The snow almost instantly becomes less "grabby." This provides more skiable surface conditions and increases safety, contributing to Timberlines reputation of being one of the world's finest summer ski and snowboard programs, and an international summer destination.
As operators of Timberline, and stewards of this alpine environment, we recognize that the practice of salting raises environmental questions and concerns, and we want to address those concerns here.
Salt is applied to the Palmer Snowfield on nearly a daily basis from late May through approximately Labor Day. The practice of salting is a site-specific operational one. An effective monitoring plan, as well as an understanding of salt's affect on the environment needs to carefully consider the area's site-specific conditions including topography, weather, volume of snow, drainage, and levels of naturally occurring (background) sodium chloride in the streams and rivers below. It is important to keep in mind that rock salt (or halite) is a mineral which exists naturally. There are similar naturally occurring background levels of sodium within Mt. hood streams outside of the Palmer drainage system.
RLK and Company, operators of Timberline, has a pro-active science-based monitoring program for the salting. Golder and Associates, a geotechnical consulting firm based out of Redmond, Washington has been contracted since 1988 to oversee, analyze, and compile the data. The primary purpose of our comprehensive analysis is to account for the salt that we are introducing into the environment and study and evaluate any surface water impacts.
RLK and Company operates Timberline under the terms of a Special Use Permit from the United States Forest Service. The practice of applying salt to the hill is authorized under the terms of a 401 permit issued by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. We provide them with concise records of salt application. Surface water data is provided by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The monitoring program incorporates a continuous flow and conductivity study and utilizes water samples collected from 8 locations in several streams within the Palmer drainage.
The analysis confirms sodium chloride in the downstream waters. That is important in that it accounts for the salt, and indeed, monitoring stations show that summertime chloride levels increase during salting and return to normal background levels in the winter months. Chloride concentrations observed in all monitored streams, at all stations, regardless of elevation, are well below the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality drinking water standard of 250 mg/L and below the EPA water quality of 230 mg/L (chronic) and 860 mg/L (acute) for exposure to salt-sensitive species. It has been concluded that the practice of applying salt to Palmer Snowfield presents no threat to aquatic resources, aquatic biota, wildlife, or drinking water.
With the benefit of 25 years of scientific monitoring, Timberline is confident in the conclusion that the practice of salting, when done responsibly and in accordance with sight specificity, can be done in an environmentally sensitive way and on a sustainable basis.
Is salting the slopes bad for the Mount Hood environment?
Should the use of salt be limited or more tightly monitored?
Or is the system working fine as is?

Kate Middleton Gives Birth To Baby Boy!
The Great Kate Wait it over! The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, has given birth to a baby boy!
The Palace has confirmed that Kate, 31, gave birth to the little prince weighing 8 lbs., 6 oz. at St. Mary's Hospital in London. The Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, also 31, was by her side.
Kate and the baby "are both doing well and will remain in hospital overnight," reads the official statement. And the proud father Prince William said "we could not be happier."
Kate went into labour just before 6am Monday London time (3pm Monday EST), and was taken from Kensington Palace where she lives with William, to St. Mary's Hospital, a short drive away. Kate was in labour for just over 10 hours.
St. Mary's is the same hospital where William and his brother Prince Harry, 28, were born.
The new arrival is third in line to the throne, following granddad Prince Charles, 64, and father William.
Congratulations to Kate and William!

Twitter warrants a couple of strong mentions, both as a sub-sector itself, and also in the location services category. There are a few notable omissions – Pinterest, for one – and Facebook, I feel, deserves it's own sub-sector, too, as many businesses and individuals rely on that behemoth for work, but perhaps that will come with a future update.

RELUCTANT SAINT: The Life of Francis of Assisi
It does not seem possible that the world needs another biography of St. Francis of Assisi, but Spoto (The Hidden Jesus) makes a credible case for adding to the glut of books and articles about the medieval saint. (Spoto cites one count taken nearly 40 years ago that puts the number at 1,575.) He argues that new discoveries in several fields and the latest Franciscan scholarship justify this new biography. Although the findings of his research required Spoto to strip away some of the romance surrounding Francis's familiar story, he manages to report them without detracting from the integrity of the saint. He raises, for example, questions about whether Francis actually bore the stigmata, or wounds of the crucified Christ, pointing out that sources interviewed for Francis's canonization denied that he had the marks. Spoto suggests that Francis may actually have suffered from leprosy and that his companions interpreted those wounds as a sharing in Christ's suffering. Spoto's chronological recounting of Francis's life is sufficiently engaging to retain the interest even of those familiar with the basic facts of the saint's story. Occasionally however, he lapses into seemingly misplaced preaching pedagogy, such as when he holds forth on the subject of conversion in a section about Francis's spiritual transformation— but given the saint's diverse appeal, this book should interest a wide audience. (Oct.)

Jos: nice to be able to combine RIF rules with RDF graphs
<ChrisW> "1"^^xsd:int
<ChrisW> |=
<sandro> The test case I'm concerned about is p("a"^^<a>) and <a>=xs:string |= p("a")
<ChrisW> 1 # xsd:int
<josb> sandro: this entailment does not hold
<AxelPolleres> allows to write datatype entailment rules (in a dialect allowing exiustentials in heads) it seems, e.g. rdfD1
<AxelPolleres> http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-mt/#DtypeRules
<DaveReynolds> "1"^^xsd:int # xsd:int
<josb> xsd:string=a |= oftype("b",a)
<josb> "a"^^<a>
Josb: ^^ not evaluated
<sandro> sandro: so it's evaluated when you're doing oftype, but not when you're doing ^^.
<sandro> jos: right.,
<josb> xsd:string=a, "a"^^<a> |= oftype("a"^^<a>, xsd:string)
<josb> replace in example xsd:string w "http....string"^^anyURI
<josb> and the entailment still holds
<DaveReynolds> Right, I was talking about SWC
<AxelPolleres> rdfD1 could be emulated with skolemization in RIF BLD as: sk(?D) rdf:type ?D :- ofType(?X, ?D) ?D rd:type rdfs:Datatype.
ChrisW: what would we change to make this valid?
<sandro> sandro: sigh, yeah, I guess it's already accepted that datatypes are treated as classes (of their value space). [[ That's so broken. it means xs:hexBinary == xs:base64Binary. Sure, they are the same "class", but they are different "properties. ]]
<DaveReynolds> [[Sandro - having the same class extension does not mean xs:hexBinary == xsd:base64Binary, just means sameClassAs, can be different individuals and different property extensions. I claim it is not broken.]]
<ChrisW> xsd:int [ rdfs:subClassOf -> xsd:integer ]
<ChrisW> "1"^^xsd
<ChrisW> "1"^^xsd:int [ rdfs:type -> xsd:integer ]
<ChrisW> #
Axel: makes sense
... oftype allows writing entailment rules in RIF
<AxelPolleres> http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-mt/#DtypeRules
<ChrisW> a # ?x :- isLiteralOfType(a,?x)
<AxelPolleres> rdfD1 could be emulated with skolemization in RIF BLD as: sk(?D) rdf:type ?D :- ofType(?X, ?D) ?D rd:type rdfs:Datatype.
<ChrisW> (w/ D-Entailment)

<csma> yes
<sandro> yes
<ChrisW> Straw: +1: Use "anyURI" in isLiteralOfType, -1: define datatype URIs to denote themselves
<josb> -1
<AdrianP> 0
<AxelPolleres> -1 (I want RIF BLD to express at least such Horn expressible inference rules that need datatype extraction over RDF, using anyURI would prevent this.)
<ChrisW> -.333333
<DaveReynolds> -0.8
<sandro> -1
<Gary> -0.5
<Michael_Kifer> +1
Michael: object, because it would require quite a few changes just to accommodate 1 builtin
ChrisW: problem still exists
Michael: rif:iri's are by definition supposed to be uninterpreted - could introduce another symbol space
Jos: can define it differently
Michael: notion of datatype isn't extensible
<AxelPolleres> The built-in is anyways already an "amputed" version of SPARQL's datatype()-built-in ... if we go with anyURI, it is making even less sense to me.
Jos: hadn't thought of
extensibility issue - nasty
... get rid of isLiteralOfType based on new information?
... different ways of referring to datatype inelegant

<AxelPolleres> the issue is: fixin the semantics on new datatypes in new rule-sets may hamper "forward"-compatibility (not sure whether that is the right term here) w.r.t. datasets not having those additional datatypes in mind, yes?
ChrisW: defer lists due to time
ChrisW: bounded quantifiers
<AxelPolleres> hmmm, asking myself whether the behaviour I would want could be "hidden" better in the semantics definition of isOfDatatype alone, without affecting datatypes.

Verge hacked again
Anyone holding Verge?
wow - rats. Bad news for Verge!
Even Bitcoin and Ethereum are vulnerable to this type of attack though (51% attack) - which also worries me..
I'm glad I sold all just before the Pornhub partnership.
@joes It would be hard to do a 51% attack on a coin like Bitcoin or Ethereum though, am I correct?
@lucky777 It would only take $100k or so to setup 10k Bitcoin nodes using AWS (Amazon Web Services) - well within budget of many groups. With that, you could do a 51% attack.
i am holding, but it's ok it is the risk, and it is not a really bad news

@joes i just think that verge team are not up and doing, because as the saying goes, "a forseen thorn on the ground can not bring a man down twice otherwise you are regarded as incompetent". Verge should wake up and deployed the best cyber technology to fight this cyber criminals else, it may be the end of verge.

Thanks for the mention! I can't take credit for the Polyvore template I used however ... I just filled in this template here:ReplyDelete
I love Polyvore collages. It's such a fun way to experiment with ideas! I like the direction you're going .. classic pieces but with some fun, unexpected touches. I think the Etoile striped sweater is beautiful, but I personally didn't like the fabric (but I almost never like mohair). Looking forward to seeing your future collages and outfit posts!
@S: You're welcome - I loved the collage I saw on your recent post and really wanted to try something like that. I'm not a naturally gifted computer person, so it's such an easy way to arrange all these things I'm thinking about!ReplyDelete
You may well be right about the Etoile jumper - it looks so good in the campaign pictures but in real life seems perhaps a little too thin? I'm not sure. I'm a little late though - it was definitely one of those very popular, sold out in a second, Isabel Marant pieces!. x
I love the PS 11 too. What a gorgeous bag. I just bought that NARS hot pink lipstick and am slowly trying to work it into regular rotation. I love that it makes a statement but isn't too over the top or in your face.ReplyDelete
@ Jennifer: I tired the hot pink one on today - decided I needed a little bit more time to be brave enough to embrace it, but left with Red Lizard - such a beautiful shade too! Would be great to see how you work the hot pink into your outfits for some inspiration. xReplyDelete
Yes, the Etoile sweater was very sheer, you'd have to layer something underneath it. But then did you see Garderoben wearing hers? Makes me wonder if I was too quick to judge the fabric!ReplyDelete
Thank you for your kind comment! I'm glad I discovered yours as well, our approach to fashion seems quite similair.ReplyDelete
I love a bright lip. I think the only shade that works for me is red though. I'm obsessed with my Chanel lipstick(nr. 25 Vendôme), I'd wear it everyday if lipstick wasn't such a fuss. I hate to re-apply and check if my lipstick isn't all over my face :p

MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. – The Coed Sailing Team finished their season on a high, finishing ninth at the Gill Coed National Championship in Charleston, SC. After getting off to a rough start on the first day of the event, the Bears sailed strong on day two, and climbed the score board back to a top ten position. This is the fourth year in a row the Coed team has placed in the top ten, having finished tenth in 2014 and second in both 2015 and 2016.
Long delays were the theme of both days at the Coed Championship finals. Light winds and strong current allowed for no racing until approximately 1:30 each day. The Bears got off to a great start in the opening set of the regatta, with no race outside of the top-10. In the following sets however, multiple unforced errors lead to high finishes, which pushed them to fifteenth overall at the end of the first day.
"Today just wasn't our day," said head coach Brian Swingly. "At this level you are barely afforded one mistake per race, let alone two or three. We will have our work cut out for us tomorrow and will be ready to slowly claw our way back."
On Friday, the Bears did just that. Consistent scores in both divisions, many of which were in the top-5, lead to a charge up the leader board, particularly late in the day. With one set remaining (two races per division), Coast Guard was in tenth place overall, but only 13 points out of seventh place and even fewer out of eighth and ninth. The Bears won the first A-Division race and finished fourth in the first B-Division race to move into eighth place with one race per division remaining. Having the points they needed on the water to move up to seventh, Coast Guard was flagged for a late penalty just before the finish line and would ultimately finish ninth.
Nikole Barnes and Anna Morin finished 12th in A-Division with 165 points. Dana Rohde, Maddie Ekin, and Madelynn Widmeier finished 11th in B-Division with 158 points. The team combined for 323 points and ninth overall.
"We are extremely proud of this group, the amount of work they put in this entire season, and the way they sailed this extremely competitive event - especially their performance on Friday. Of course we had higher expectations, but are certainly happy anytime we can finish in the top ten at a National Championship," Swingly said.

It could be info stories, how-to articles, interviews, proceedings studies, profiles, survey results, online audio, online video, e-books, reports, etc.
3) Remind your web site company they can print out your placid. They may crop around your online cache piece it's writing. They may read it at home, work, outside, etc. Other population may perhaps see what they're reading and impoverishment to pop in your web encampment or bid to your e-zine.
4) Offer your company unimprisoned software package that they can download accurately from your web parcel. While they are ready and waiting they mightiness publication your ad.

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen SebeliusKathleen SebeliusKansas Senate race splits wide open without Pompeo Is a presidential appointment worth the risk? New Dem Kansas gov reinstates protections for LGBT state employees MORE on Monday cited insurance company estimates that say between 80 and 90 percent of those who have selected a plan under ObamaCare have completed the critical final step of making a first premium payment.
"What we know from insurance companies ... tell us that, for their initial customers, it's somewhere between 80, 85, some say as high as 90 percent, have paid so far," Sebelius said on KWTV-TV, in an interview first uncovered by BuzzFeed. "Lots of companies have different timetables for when their new customers have to send their first payment."
Republicans have been pressing the administration for that information for weeks now.
Earlier this month, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) sent a letter to Sebelius saying she had been "evasive and perhaps misleading" in her testimony before his committee.
At the hearing, Sebelius reiterated the administration's claim that they're not able to break down enrollees by who has made a payment because they only have access to information about those selecting plans on the HealthCare.gov website.
Consumers pay the insurers directly after enrolling, so the administration relies on data from the private sector in some cases. Critics have warned that the administration's numbers are inflated because not everyone who selects a plan will complete the final step needed to obtain coverage.
Experts have estimated that as many as 20 percent of enrollees haven't paid their first month's premium, and Sebelius's comments on Monday are in line or slightly better than those analyses.
The administration has said that 6 million people had selected plans through mid-March, meaning that between 600,000 and 1.2 million of those counted as enrollees do not actually have insurance coverage, using Sebelius's estimates.
The HHS is presently developing a back-end system to track enrollees who have made premium payments.

Spring is just 3 weeks away...(?)
Just yesterday I was wearing my shades while sifting and sorting items between our two trailers and some enclosed storage we rented. [Dubbed by some locals as The Denali Rose Storage Compound...]
I hauled the materials to build some shelving to house the 100+ totes of gear we brought with us, and actually completed one the same day- and cut the pieces for another before it got too dark.
Full disclosure: It seems I inadvertently saved cutting the 4'x8' shelving panels in half until it was dark... Why don't they put headlamps on Skill saws?
|Yup. That is all ours... Note we were having a Severe Clear 'yesterday'... [I'm building suspense here...]
|The view I'm blocking with the trailers...
Ah, the things we take for granted during our terrestrial phases...
Reorganizing our junk so it is accessible is important for several reasons: [But only to us; that was just a journalistic ploy to keep you from nodding-off... Professional talking heads would have squinted while leaning into the camera and grunting the word Important- distinguishing each of its syllables with a different voice inflection- before sitting back to resume their well practicedhead-bobs and nods... [Watch them with the sound muted sometime to quickly spot their gesture patterns... Tell me if that isn't entertaining, if not more enlightening than what they are reading...]
In late March we haul the boat, and much of what we need is in the trailers...
But most of our crap isn't accessible because both trailers are packed to the gills... [I mean, who hauls a partially full, organized trailer almost 10° of latitude south on land, sea, then land again?]
And we really miss having use of our two ATVs... trailer bound since 2014 when we bought Denali Rose and hauled the first trailer south...
Some of you may be wondering why we waited so long... Well, one way to achieve a positive cash flow on Wrangell Island is to own storage units... They are rented before construction is completed... Our name finally came up, and what great timing!
Remember I opened with Spring is only 3 weeks away...?

We have a family friend who is fantastic at finding deals on garbage day! He called one day to let me know that he'd found two bed frames and asked if I'd like them. We had been sleeping with just the standard metal frame and no headboard, so I was excited to see these treasures he had found!
And they were amazing! Or at least two of them were amazing! Two were in pretty bad shape. Unfortunately it was the headboard from one set and the footboard from the other set. The headboard and footboard did have similar lines so I figured with some good TLC, I could make them look pretty much the same.
The thing about finding items on the road, though, is that sometimes it just doesn't work out like you think it should. Because they weren't from the same set or maybe because the vintage rails that I had to purchase separately, it just wasn't stationary enough. Everytime we would get into bed, the headboard would rock back and forth and hit the wall. You know those old cartoons where the person sits in the center of a brass bed and the headboard and footboard cave in toward each other? It was a very, very little bit like that. But it was enough to drive my husband crazy!
For a while we slept a little unsettled wondering if the bed would tip in on us or collapse to the ground. And I started the search for a new bed. Luckily I found one at a church yard sale (those are often the best!). It was only $5!
Oooh, but I loved the lines and the look of that bed!! I sold the headboard because I felt it was too large for my house and family needs,
For the footboard, because of wonderful Pinterest and for chalkboard paint our family now has a cute and fun message board.

Can you really justify driving and texting?
Following a US man claiming that the woman texting him was also to blame when their text exchange resulted in a crash, here is a reminder to all drivers of just what the rules are surrounding the use of mobile devices in a car and the penalties for being caught texting, reading a text or using your mobile device whilst driving.
Whatever the circumstances you believe justify the reason for sending or reading text messages whilst driving, it is illegal to drive a vehicle whilst using a mobile phone and there is a significant fine and loss of three demerit points should you be caught doing so. It is also illegal to carry out phoning or texting whilst stopped at traffic lights or when your vehicle is stopped but not parked.
Whilst a hands free device can lessen the impact of making and receiving calls, it doesn't make it safer to use a phone whilst driving. Concentration is still diminished and you are diverted from the proper control of your vehicle, the traffic situations around you and road conditions. Research from The Institute of Road Safety in the Netherlands found that "hands free phoning does not have a significant safety advantage over handheld phoning." Other Australian studies carried out by State roads authorities have concluded that "using a mobile phone while driving is dangerous as it slows reaction times and interferes with a driver's perception skills, increasing the chance of having a crash".
For Learner drivers, P1 drivers and motorcycle riders, any use of a mobile device is banned, including hands-free or phones on speaker.
The RTA has this advice for drivers:-
If you must talk on a hands-free phone while driving:
- Make sure it is a hands-free phone that is set up and working before you start driving.

TRC under spotlight as victims are dissatisfied with the commission
Andile Mbanjwa
A non- profit community based organization called Khulumani held a peaceful march to parliament today to handover a memorandum demanding the payment of reparation of the victims of gross human rights violation under apartheid that were left unpaid by the
One of the victims, Shenxiswa Constance Mlung from
KTC, Nyanga
who suffered a great deal during apartheid, shared her suffering. "We didn't
get any compensation from the TRC. When
our houses were set alight in KTC, we
were told to go to a certain hall in Athlone where we were only given R2 as reparation
by the people who claimed to be from the TRC.
Constance Mlungu said I'm hoping this much will yield good results so that we may be compensated as the victims who suffered a lot during the apartheid".
The memorandum was accepted by Collin Dubrein, an Arial court manager at Cape Town Magistrate's Court, on behalf of the department of Justice and Constitutional Development.

When Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968) spoke at the "Great March to Freedom" in Detroit on June 23, 1963, he offered a Detroit version of the "I Have a Dream" speech.
Including this line: "I have a dream this afternoon that one day right here in Detroit, Negroes will be able to buy a house or rent a house anywhere that their money will carry them and they will be able to get a job. . ."
The dream stands, though reality has not caught up.
King gave a slightly more refined Dream speech at the "March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom" on August 28, 1963.
When Malcolm X (1925-1965) delivered his "Message to the Grassroots" in Detroit on October 10, 1963, he deplored the term "Negro" and advocated its replacement with "black." The change in parlance worked, with the additional choices of "Afro-American" (mostly 1970s) and "African American." Black and African American seem about equally acceptable in 2013. Contemporary usage of the term "Negro" is rare as a hen's tooth, but contextualized reminders appear on the AMC Series Mad Men.
Malcolm X from his same Detroit speech: "I would like to make a few comments concerning the difference between the black revolution and the Negro revolution," he said. And he did. He also quipped: "Of all our studies, history is best qualified to reward our research." And he was right. It still is.
Both MLK and Malcolm X opposed the US-Vietnam War and would undoubtedly have opposed the Iraq War of 2003-2011. I dearly wish they were both still with us today -- and they could have been. Nelson Mandela, after all, was born in 1918, and is senior to both!

Scientific Name: Elaphe guttata
Range: Throughout Florida and southeastern United States, from southern New Jersey to Louisiana
Habitat: Including wooded groves, rocky hills, meadows, barns, and abandoned houses
Diet: Small mammals, eggs, and birds
Life Span: Over 20 years
Description: Narrow-bodied snake; usually orange and yellow with large red splotches on back; white and black checkered belly; underside of tail generally has two dark stripes; spear-shaped pattern on head and neck. Adults range from 75-120 cm (2.5-4 ft.) in length. Considerable variation occurs in the coloration and patterns of individual snakes. Age, origin and genetics all play a role. Hatchlings lack much of the bright coloration found on adults.
Family Life: The breeding season of corn snakes is from March to May. The snakes are oviparous, depositing a clutch of 10 to 30 eggs. Eggs are laid in rotting stumps, piles of decaying vegetation, or other similar locations where there is sufficient heat and humidity to incubate them. The adult snakes do not care for the eggs. Once laid, the incubation period of the eggs is 60 to 65 days. Hatchlings are 10 to 15 inches (25 to 38 cm) long and mature in 18 to 36 months.
Status in the Wild: Not threatened but is a Species of Special Concern in Florida
Nature Notes: Corn snakes are primarily diurnal. They readily climb trees and enter abandoned buildings in search of prey. However, they are very secretive and spend most of their time underground prowling through rodent burrows. They also often hide under loose bark and beneath logs, rocks, and other debris during the day.

Souls Of Martyrs Are Clothed By An Angel, In A Glossed Apocalypse
Medium: Ink, pigments and gold on vellum
Date: 1260
The biblical book of Revelation, also called the Apocalypse, is a mystical vision of the end of the world, supposed to have been written by St. John the Evangelist. Inspired in large part by the prophetic writings of a Cistercian abbot who died in 1202, much of Europe believed that the end of the world would occur during the 13th century. One of the most widely anticipated dates was the year 1260 (subsequently amended to 1284, and then to 1290); it is therefore no coincidence that many Apocalypse manuscripts date from the 1250s and 1260s. This copy was probably made in London or Westminster, but was in Beccles (Suffolk) by the 19th century, and may have been in East Anglia from the Middle Ages. This image shows the souls--usually depicted in medieval art as small naked figures--of martyrs, emerging from under an altar, and being clothed by an angel (Revelation 6:9-11).

the wineries of Sauveterre de Guyenne, Saint-Pey-Génissac and blasimon joined together in 2007 under the UG BORDEAUX banner, thus becoming one of the biggest producers of Bordeaux wine.
Its vines unfurl across twenty or so communes on the right bank of the River Garonne, in a region brimming with historical riches dating back over thousands of years. Abbeys, medieval fortresses, bastides and châteaux bear witness to the wonderful history of a land marked first of all by religious orders, then by the powerful lords who built up the renown and the prosperity of the wines of Bordeaux throughout the centuries.
As far as the eye can see, vineyards cloak hillsides and carpet terraces, they hug arable land, woods and villages. Thanks to this outstanding mosaic of locations, slopes and aspects, UG BORDEAUX can highlight the authenticity and originality of fine vineyards and fine grapes in the Bordeaux wine -growing region.

Washington: The head of the CIA`s secret intelligence operations plans to step down just as the spy agency weighs an unprecedented shake-up of the organization, officials said Monday.
The chief of the spy service`s clandestine arm "has announced that he soon plans to retire from the agency after a long and distinguished career at CIA," agency spokesman Dean Boyd told AFP.
The name of the director of the national clandestine service was not released but his identity already was revealed in a tweet in 2013. Frank Archibald reportedly worked in Pakistan and Africa and was once head of the CIA`s Latin American division.
The Central Intelligence Agency declined to comment if the top spy`s departure was related to the major overhaul being contemplated by the agency`s director, John Brennan.
The CIA chief is looking at ending the long entrenched separation between spying and analysis work in the agency, and possibly creating new units focused on geographic areas or specific threats, according to former intelligence officials.
That idea has been floated previously and encountered major internal opposition, with senior officials ultimately vetoing it. The national clandestine service, which went under different names over the years, has always jealously guarded its relatively independent status and been wary of proposals to alter its relationship with the rest of the agency, former officials and experts say.
If carried out, the reorganization would represent the most sweeping change in the spy agency`s history.
Archibald`s departure follows other leadership changes at the CIA and other intelligence agencies.
David Cohen, who oversaw sanctions enforcement at the Treasury Department, was recently named the CIA`s new deputy director.
And Major General Vincent Stewart, who worked as head of cyber command for the US Marine Corps, recently took over as the new director of the Defense Intelligence Agency.
The former DIA chief, Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, stepped down in August -- earlier than intially planned -- amid reports his proposed reforms to send more analysts into the field encountered resistance among some senior officials.

Public Policy and Electrified Transportation
The automotive industry is critical to Canada's economy, contributing approximately one-tenth of Canada's GDP (gross domestic product). It employs more than 100,000 people directly and 300,000 people indirectly.
In recent years, the auto industry in Canada has faced significant obstacles to growth and expansion. The global recession of 2009 caused a credit crunch, crushing consumer demand for vehicles, while troublesome economic circumstances in North America, Europe, and Asia have augmented what was an already challenging manufacturing landscape characterised by two demanding emissions programs: the United States Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard, which dictates cars on American roads must double their fuel efficiency by 2025, and the European Union Fuel Quality Directive (FQD), which mandates a radical reduction in greenhouse gases and particulate matter emissions from vehicles over the next 10 years, putting an emphasis on the use of renewable electricity supplies as "fuel" to replace petroleum.
As part of the Automotive Policy Research Centre (APRC), researchers at MacAUTO explore past and present policy tools that have supported and transformed the automotive industry in North America. Policy tools such as targeted funding programs, subsidies, tariffs, and education programs all play a role in encouraging consumers to adopt new and unfamiliar technologies. In wielding legislative and regulatory power, governments can activate innovation, commercialization, and growth in automotive and allied sectors to ensure robust, job-rich industries for the future.
The public policy project at MacAUTO focuses on identifying policy initiatives that will catalyze disruptive technological innovations in electrified transportation. The Advanced Automotive Technology Roadmap being developed as part of this project forms a strategic vision for the widespread adoption and use of electric, hybrid electric, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in Canada and globally.
The Roadmap is relevant to federal and provincial governments, as it will allow Canadian jurisdictions to define a future for the electrification of transportation across all sectors (e.g. passenger cars, commercial vehicles, fleets, and public transit). The Roadmap will also carve out a profitable pathway for automotive assemblers and parts manufacturers who are looking beyond 2025.
By designing a new policy tool relevant to the provincial Government of Ontario and the federal Government of Canada, this project will support sustained investment in electrified transportation, rendering southern Ontario a hub of globally relevant electrified transportation technologies.

Warning: Spoilers for "What Ails You," as well as previous episodes of "Batman: The Telltale Series" follow.
Telltale has always done a good job at creating the illusion of choice, following a bell-shaped approach in which your choices may lead you on different paths, but you almost always end up in a similar conclusion to everyone else. This is not a bad thing in any sense, and as long as the choices feel as though they have an impact, they have a purpose to serve. "What Ails You" does a particularly good job with these decisions, both from this episode and prior, as we see most of the effects of our choices come catching up with Bruce.
Coming off of last episode's cliffhanger, we find Bruce being outed to The Pact organization, and being placed in one of Mr. Freeze's cryo-chambers. He quickly escapes and races off as Batman to prevent Harley and her compatriots from getting the Locus virus, but after a thrilling brawl with them, to no avail. The primary focus of the episode is put on pushing John Doe to where he will end up, as Batman's most synonymous rival or something hopefully better. Much of what you discussed with him at the cafe in the prior episode plays a large role in his outcome, though you thankfully have a few more chances to right the ship towards where you would like him to go. I found myself pushing John away from his seemingly destined path towards the clown, and based on the post-mortem for the episode, many others did as well. The character has shown a clear admiration for Bruce and Batman, as well as a trust that I spent desperately trying not to break, despite its repercussions to the plot. The way actor Anthony Ingruber plays the character displays an almost innocent nature, while still having part of his dark self come out every now and then. He makes it hard not to support John and push him towards a brighter path, even when he is standing next to a crowd of agents he just seemingly murdered.
Many other plot threads come to a climax in this episode, most concerning being the health troubles of Alfred. Bruce returns to the Bat-Cave in the episode only to find his most trusted ally collapsed on the floor, murmuring about stopping Thomas Wayne from endangering his wife and son. The relationship between Alfred and Bruce is probably the most important to the character, so ensuring he was okay was a high priority. While he seems to be left in a good state and with a doctor on the way, I am concerned on what Telltale may try to pull in the season finale. While Tiffany Fox does not get much screentime in this episode, she also gets a lesson on Batman's code after presenting a prototype gun to Bruce.
While it is not a huge problem, perhaps the most uninteresting part of the season so far is with The Agency, primarily with agent Avesta. She is a character who seems completely inconsequential to the plot, and follows a very bland thread of someone who means well and quickly realizes who she works for may not be who she thinks it is. That said, she still has one more episode to turn things around, and her boss Amanda Waller is not suffering from her problems at all. She is a nice counterweight to Batman's way of doing things, though I don't see how I can agree to help her after she tries to shoot John right after he essentially saved the day.
This episode continues a strong run for the season, and still leaves room for more excitement in the season finale. While it's not really a con, I was disappointed to find no Commissioner Gordon this episode, despite his inclusion on the episode's promo image. I assume that is because of some of my past choices, so I hope he gets a chance to mend things with Bruce Wayne in the next one. Overall this episode is one of the strongest of the season, and I am anxious to learn more about John's seemingly chosen path towards vigilantism. If you are a Batman fan in any way, this series is a great addition to the character's wealth of past stories, and even continues to surprise me in a number of ways.

Rack of Pork Stuffed with Apples and Dried Plums
2 Tablespoons butter
2 apples, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup dried plums
1 small shallot, minced
1 clove of garlic, minced
1/4 cup diced celery
1 bay leaf
Fresh thyme leaves, or 1/8 teaspoon dried
2 Tablespoons fruit vinegar-cider or raspberry
Salt and pepper to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
Saute everything except the vinegar in the butter until soft, but not browned.
Deglaze the pan with the vinegar, taste for seasoning, remove the bay leaf, and let the stuffing cool.
Prepare the pork rack and vegetables
You need a pork rack with the chine bone removed and the ribs frenched.
Brine the roast for 2 hours in 2 quarts of water with one cup of salt
Butterfly the loin without detaching the ribs, and lightly pound out the surface until it is flat and even.
Salt and pepper the surfae of the pork and sprinkle with some cognac or wine.
Spread the stuffing over the surface, and roll up the pork jelly-roll style, truss with string.
Place the pork on a roasting rack and roast in a preheated 325 degree oven for 1/2 hour.
Blanch the vegetables (I used turnips, potatoes, carrots, acorn squash, and onions-onions do not need to be blanched) until tender-crisp. Drain and hold until the pork has roasted for 1/2 hour.
Add blanched vegetables to the roasting pan, toss to coat them in the pork drippings, and place the pork rack directly on the vegetables, discarding the roasting rack, to finish roasting. Place everything back in the oven for about 1 hour, until the internal temperature of the pork registers 140 to145 degrees-Most safety guideline stipulate 150 degree, but that is too done for me. Let the roast rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
