Breakfast is tricky for all of us, right? Or maybe you're super Mom/Wife and are flipping pancakes and making egg white omlets at 7 AM every morning. Good for you. More realistic breakfasts (for the rest of us) usually consists of cereal or something that comes out of a toaster.
If you're using my Back-to-School Guide, your family has been enjoying a healthy and fulfilling Breakfast Strata all week for breakfast... but now it is Friday. You want to make a little something special for your kids to take for breakfast... but you only have 10 minutes. If you have puff pastry in the freezer*, you're in luck. These cinnamon roll-ups are a similar technique to my pecan cinnamon rolls, but you can make them in no time.
They are buttery and flaky with cinnamon and sugar, drizzled with icing... and they are homemade. Your kids/family/husband will love them.
Not only for breakfast, these are darling enough to serve along coffee at a bridal/baby shower brunch. They are inexpensive to make. For about $5 you can make 32 roll-ups. Try purchasing any treat from a bakery for $5!
*As I mentioned in the Chicken Pot Pie post (say that three times fast...), I always keep puff pastry in the freezer. I use it for making quick caramelized onion and goat cheese tarts, cinnamon pecan sticky buns, and easy appetizers... it was definitely my secret weapon as a caterer and party planner.
Back-to-School Guide :
Quick Cinnamon Roll-Ups
1 sheet of puff pastry, frozen or thawed
2 tablespoons of butter, melted
1/4 tablespoons of brown sugar
2 tablespoons of sugar
1 tablespoon of cinnamon
1/2 cup of powdered sugar
2 tablespoons of milk (+ more for thinning, if necessary)
Cut puff pastry into triangles - any size, big-small, just stay consistent. Brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with brown sugar, granulated sugar and cinnamon. Roll up. Place on a baking sheet. Place under a high broiler for 3-5 minutes (depending on the size of your triangles). Watch them carefully. When they've puffed and just begin to brown on the corners, they're ready. Meanwhile, stir together powdered sugar and milk to make an easy icing. When you remove the roll-ups from the oven, drizzle with icing glaze.
Cut the puff pastry into triangles. They can be any size - the small ones will bake faster than larger, something to keep in mind if you're short on time.
You can be as generous as you'd like with the toppings. This recipe is very flexible. Maybe add some pecans or raisins at this point?
Rolled and ready to go. Note that I'm using a silpat to make sure they come off without a fuss. Silpat baking liners are one of my Everyday Essentials... click here for a link to all of my must haves!
Back-to-School season was such a fun time for me - especially Back-to-School shopping. I loved getting new binders, crazy pencils and pens, notebooks and of course, the all important backpack. New creative gear was so inspiring to me - wait, it still is! It must be so hard for families going through tough times to get their kids excited about Back-to-School.
Join me in giving back this Back-to-School season! Click on the link to the left, order some school supplies for your own kids (or your new organized office space/craft room...), then with the 15% off, you can afford to spend a little extra to donate to someone less fortunate.

For the past 6 weeks, Primary 2 have been learning about homes and how they reflect personal identity and local culture. Most recently, we have started studying about traditional homes in the community. The topic about traditional yurts in Kyrgyzstan got everyone in the class excited and talking endlessly about it! So then 2 volunteers from the class took the initiative to lead a discussion, in which everyone shared their personal experiences, wonderings, and thoughts about yurts. One student in the class said, "I want to see the tunduk " (the crown). Another student asked, "What materials do they use for the lattices?" This discussion led the class to plan for a rich immersion into the local culture and have the opportunity to experience and explore this concept on a much deeper level.
On October 2nd, the class made its first endeavor to check out the yurts in the community. We visited the Dasmia Ethnic complex to see an actual yurt and learn about its form, function, and heritage. During the trip, we saw big and small yurts, observed the interior and exterior parts of the yurts, and touched and felt the materials they're made from. We also saw beautiful and colorful traditional Kyrgyz patterns and designs. Our favorite element of the trip was the experience of being able to eat inside the yurt. Overall, the trip was a success! Everyone, including the parents who joined us, enjoyed learning about yurts!

Moradi, Abdolmajid (2006) Hierarchical modular fault recovery in discrete-event systems. Masters thesis, Concordia University.
Text (application/pdf)3MB
MR14275.pdf - Accepted Version
This thesis studies the fault recovery problem in discrete-event systems using a two-level modular hierarchical approach. We extend the switching modular solutions for failure recovery problems for flat DESs in the framework of Ramadge and Wonham (RW) for supervisory control, using a two-level hierarchical model for DESs. Although in practice, modular design is found to be effective for a variety of systems, in the case of large-scale systems the state sizes may become too large, and so may the computational complexity of these systems for synthesis purposes. Therefore, a hierarchical approach may largely reduce the complexity of practical systems. We assume that the plant in our problem can be considered as a standard finite-state automaton, describing both normal and faulty behaviors of the system.

A recent Hindu endorsement of Colorado
elementary schools' inclusion
of yoga into elementary schools has raised questions
about yoga's alleged status as a secular practice. Rajan Zed,
President of the Universal Society of Hinduism, urges "all
elementary-middle-high schools of the nation to incorporate yoga in
the lives of the students." Colorado's inclusion of yoga into elementary schools vis a vis
"yoga themed recesses" and "brain breaks" is being
spearheaded by The Wellness Initiative, which offers yoga
classes for students and has partnered with 34 schools and
institutions in Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, and
Jefferson counties. While Colorado may be the first state to
systematically offer yoga classes in multiple elementary school
settings, other states and programs have quietly been making
Ed has been training yoga and classroom teachers for
years, with
research suggesting the program is effective in
improving multiple domains of health. Since 2008 Kripalu Center's
Institute for Extraordinary Living in Stockbridge, MA has been
testing yoga-based
curricula compared to Physical Education in local high schools.
A recent study suggests improved
psychological health among yoga participants. Many
other programs and research are underway, and hundreds of independent
yoga and meditation instructors teach in schools without any formal
Viewing ads supports YogaBasics. Remove ads with a membership. Thanks!
Programs and teachers have sold yoga to
schools under the premise that it's a secular practice, scrubbed
free of Sanskrit and religious affiliations with Hinduism. Yet as the
wars gear up again over "Bible bills" intended to
slip religion back into schools, news that yoga is being offered in
schools with a Hindu endorsement is sure to strike a nerve.
Zed's claims are not without
precedent. In India, there's a widespread push to ensure yoga is a
compulsory part of education. This has angered Muslims, resulting in
Muslim schools being excluded from the edict. In the US, even
"secular yoga" is considered
demonic by some conservative Christians and
by those of other religious groups. The western
reframing of yoga as a uniquely secular, sanitized practice divorced
of its metaphysical and religious origins has resulted in its
widespread acceptability among those of many faiths. This reframing
has inflamed Hindu nationalists and traditionalists, who are commonly
cited in the news proclaiming yoga's affiliation
with Hinduism and debt to Indian history, philosophy, and religion.
Perhaps not without irony, the
widespread embrace of yoga—and inclusion of yoga into secular
settings such as schools—is contingent upon repression of the
partial truth outspoken Hindus are so eager to remind us of. There
is, of course, one certainty: whether modern yoga owes its origins to
Hinduism, Patanjali, Indian mystics, spiritual gymnastics, or Indian
martial arts (in fact, its modern origins are most likely a
combination of these) is beyond the point. While yoga can be
practiced as exercise, it will remain irreconcilably affiliated to
eastern mysticism and spirituality for many, which is likely to pose
a barrier for those hoping to gain widespread acceptance in school
What is your opinion about yoga being
offered in school settings?

Pete Alexander Essentials
Bats: R Throws: R
Weight: 185
Born: Year: 1887 in Elba, NE USA
Died: 11 4 1950 in St. Paul, NE USA
Debut: 4/15/1911
Last Game: 5/28/1930
Hall of Fame: Inducted as a Player in 1938 by BBWAA
Full Name: Grover Cleveland Alexander
One of the greatest pitchers of the Deadball Era, Grover Cleveland Alexander rivaled Walter Johnson as baseball's premier hurler throughout the second decade of the 20th century. As Christy Mathewson's period of dominance began to draw to a close during the first few years of the decade, Alexander established himself as the National League's preeminent pitcher, winning a rookie record 28 games for the Philadelphia Phillies in 1911. He followed that up with win totals of 19, 22, and 27 the next three seasons, before beginning arguably the most dominant three-year stretch turned in by any pitcher in baseball history. Alexander compiled a record of 94-35 between 1915 and 1917, winning more than 30 games each season, while also capturing the pitcher's version of the triple crown twice. His performance in 1916 ranks among the greatest single-season efforts ever. In addition to compiling a record of 33-12 and also leading the league with a 1.55 ERA, 38 complete games, 388 innings pitched, and 167 strikeouts, Alexander threw an all-time record 16 shutouts. By the end of the decade, the righthander, affectionately known as Old Pete to his teammates, had won a total of 233 games and three triple crowns. Alexander accomplished all he did despite spending virtually all of 1918 in the military, while also battling alcoholism and epilectic seizures throughout much of his career.
Born in the farming community of Elba, Nebraska on February 26, 1887, Grover Cleveland Alexander was named after United States President Grover Cleveland, who was in the middle of his first term at the time. One of 13 children, Alexander attended nearby St. Paul High School, with his parents hoping he would subsequently elect to further his education by studying law in college. However, Alexander chose to become a telephone lineman instead so that he could play baseball on weekends.
After playing semi-pro ball during his youth, Alexander signed his first professional contract in 1909 for $50 per month. The 22-year-old righthander pitched extremely well for Galesburg of the Illinois-Missouri League that year, even though his season ended prematurely when he fell unconscious for two days after being struck in the head by the opposing shortstop's throw while trying to break up a double play. Awakening with double vision, Alexander found himself unable to pitch until the following year, by which time his contract had been sold to the Syracuse Chiefs of the International League. Although Alexander's condition improved sufficiently to allow him to win 29 games for the Chiefs in 1910, it is believed that the long term effects of the incident may well have caused the epilepsy that haunted him the rest of his life.
The Philadelphia Phillies purchased Alexander for $750 prior to the start of the 1911 campaign, and the rookie proved to be a huge bargain. Pitching for a Philadelphia team that finished the year 79-73, and in a ballpark (the Baker Bowl) that had a right field wall standing only 272 feet from home plate, Alexander led the National League with a record of 28-13. He also topped the circuit with 31 complete games, 367 innings pitched, and seven shutouts, while placing among the leaders as well with 227 strikeouts and a 2.57 ERA, en route to earning a third-place finish in the league MVP voting.
Alexander continued to perform at an extremely high level in each of the next three seasons, leading all National League hurlers in wins, complete games, and shutouts once each, and in strikeouts and innings pitched two times each. He was particularly effective in 1914, when he compiled a 2.38 ERA and led the league with 27 victories, 32 complete games, 355 innings pitched, and 214 strikeouts.
However, the best had yet to come. Alexander reached his zenith in 1915, when he began his amazing run by finishing first among N.L. pitchers with a 31-10 record, a 1.22 ERA, 241 strikeouts, 12 shutouts, 36 complete games, and 376 innings pitched. His extraordinary performance enabled the Phillies to capture their first National League pennant. Although Philadelphia lost the World Series to Boston in five games, Alexander gave the team its only victory, going 1-1 in the Fall Classic, with a 1.53 ERA in his two starts. Alexander followed that up by winning his second straight pitcher's triple crown in 1916. In addition to leading the league with a record of 33-12, a 1.55 ERA, and 167 strikeouts, he topped the circuit with 38 complete games, 389 innings pitched, and an all-time single-season record 16 shutouts. Alexander finished second in the league with a 1.83 ERA the following year, while leading all N.L. hurlers in wins (30), strikeouts (200), shutouts (8), complete games (34), and innings pitched (388) for the third consecutive time.
The secret of Alexander's success lay primarily with his exceptional control. He certainly had outstanding movement on his pitches, possessing a live fastball that moved in on righthanders and a sharp-breaking curveball. He also changed speeds effectively on both pitches. However, Alexander's pinpoint control is the thing that truly separated him from other pitchers. Employing a seemingly effortless pitching motion, a minimal windup, a short stride, and a three-quarters overhand delivery to home plate, Alexander appeared to be able to spot the ball to any place he so desired. Legendary sportswriter Grantland Rice stated, "He (Grover Alexander) could pitch into a tin can. His control was always remarkable – the finest I have ever seen."
With Alexander at his absolute peak, the Phillies sold their best player to the Chicago Cubs for $55,000 prior to the start of the 1918 campaign. Phillies owner William Baker claimed he made the move because he needed the money. However, the deal was prompted more by Baker's fear that Alexander would soon be drafted into the Army as the result of the United States' involvement in World War I.
Baker proved to be prophetic. After going 3-1 for the Cubs at the start of the season, Alexander was called into military service. The one year Alexander spent overseas damaged him for life, leaving him with both physical and emotional scars from which he never fully recovered. Spending most of 1918 in France as an artillery officer, including seven weeks at the front under relentless bombardment, Alexander subsequently suffered from shell shock, deafness in his left ear, muscle damage to his pitching arm, and increasingly worse seizures. He also caught shrapnel in his right ear, which may have led to his bout with cancer years later. Always a drinker, Alexander hit the bottle particularly hard after the war, often as a means of covering up his epilepsy.
In spite of all the difficulties he faced, Alexander pulled himself together after he returned from the war and won 16 games for the Cubs in 1919. He also led the National League with a 1.72 ERA and nine shutouts. Alexander then captured his third triple crown in 1920, leading all N.L. hurlers with a record of 27-14, a 1.91 ERA, 173 strikeouts, 33 complete games, and 363 innings pitched.
Alexander remained an effective pitcher for Chicago the next five years, even though advancing age and an ever-increasing dependence on alcohol prevented him from demonstrating the same level of dominance he displayed earlier in his career. More of a finesse pitcher than he was before he entered the military, Alexander it was said "drank to relive the past, forget the present, and forestall the future." Ungainly even as a youth, with a uniform that never seemed to fit properly and a cap that always looked a size too small, Alexander appeared even more out of place on a baseball diamond during the latter stages of his career. Yet he continued to pitch effectively, winning a total of 80 games between 1921 and 1925.
After the Cubs finished last in 1925, Joe McCarthy took over the managerial reins in Chicago. The straight-laced McCarthy had little patience for Alexander's drunken and insubordinate behavior, feeling that it was a detriment to the team. As a result, the Cubs sold the 39-year-old righthander to the St. Louis Cardinals for the waiver price at midseason. Alexander ended up helping the Cardinals capture the National League pennant, winning nine games for them over the season's final three months. He then had his finest moment against the New York Yankees in the World Series.
After pitching complete game victories in Games Two and Six, Alexander made an unexpected appearance in the decisive seventh contest. With the Cardinals ahead 3-2, the bases loaded, two men out in the seventh inning, and Yankee slugger Tony Lazzeri due to hit, Alexander entered the game (according to legend) with a huge hangover he acquired the previous evening after pitching his team to victory. Alexander struck out Lazzeri on four knee-high pitches and then threw two more hitless innings to wrap up the World Championship for his team. Alexander's performance remains one of the most memorable in the history of the Fall Classic.
Alexander had two more good years for the Cardinals before his skills finally left him. He won 21 games in 1927, then helped St. Louis win another pennant by posting 16 victories the following season. After winning only nine games in 1929, the 42-year-old hurler was traded back to the Phillies, who released him after he started out the 1930 campaign 0-3. Alexander pitched his final game in the major leagues on May 28, 1930, ending his career with a record of 373-208, an ERA of 2.56, 437 complete games, and 90 shutouts. His 373 career wins tie him with Christy Mathewson for third place on the all-time list, behind only Cy Young and Walter Johnson, and only Johnson (110) threw more career shutouts. In addition to surpassing 30 victories on three separate occasions, Alexander won at least 20 games six other times. He also compiled an ERA below 2.00 and completed more than 30 games six times each, and he threw more than 300 innings in nine different seasons. Alexander led the league in wins, strikeouts, and complete games six times each, ERA four times, and shutouts and innings pitched seven times each.
Although Alexander experienced a brief moment of glory when he was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1938, the last 20 years of his life were not pleasant ones. After leaving the majors, he pitched in demeaning circumstances with touring teams until he was 51. His numerous visits to sanitariums to cure his drinking problem proved unsuccessful. He roamed the country in a series of odd jobs, staying in cheap hotels, and falling in and out of poverty. After suffering a heart attack in 1946, Alexander injured himself while falling down a flight of stairs during an epileptic seizure the following year. The doctors discovered cancer on his right ear, which subsequently had to be removed. Three years later, Alexander attended Game Three of the 1950 World Series at Yankee Stadium, where he saw the Phillies lose to the Yankees. He died less than a month later, on November 4, 1950 in St. Paul, Nebraska at the age of 63.

As many readers will recognize, I have been representing clients for several years in everything from the most basic immigration applications to extremely complicated Federal Court litigation. The past few years has been a period of constant change in the Immigration Laws, mostly to the detriment of people seeking to establish a new life in America. Today's immigration cases demand an attorney's unrelenting commitment to understanding every change in the law.
While we have a new name and a new location, we intend to provide the same expertise, aggressive representation and personal service that our clients have come to expect. Hanlon Law Group, a Professional Corporation, will continue to represent clients in all immigration matters, including nonimmigrant visa applications for professional workers, investors, entertainers, traders and intra-company transferees; family and employment-based immigrant visa petitions; and asylum, cancellation of removal and other deportation defenses.
In addition, we intend to provide our clients with full-service representation. As the Immigration Laws become more difficult to understand, most people's cases implicate other areas of the law, including family law, general civil litigation, real estate and probate law.
No one can predict when Congress will decide to change the immigration laws again. No one can guarantee how the laws will be changed in the future. We at Hanlon Law Group, P.C., however, can guarantee that the laws will continue to change and that we will devote ourselves to shaping the law to our clients' betterment in the courts, and keeping abreast of new developments that may affect our clients' cases.
The current state of the law demands this type of commitment. Attorneys who rely on bygone victories and bravado to impress the public will be left very far behind in the new millennium. We plan to be around for a long time.

Breakfast is important. Since young i've never acceded to skipping breakfasts due to busy schedules or oversleeping excuses. Be it getting up early, munching during car rides or lapping food before the school bell goes, i'll ensure my morning mouthful is fulfilled.
Sundays are just slightly more elaborate.
The only day i get to rummage my pantry and whip things out of whatever's available. The only day my family could gather for a leisure breakfast in the comfort of our own home. Very recession-friendly too =D
french toast, bacon streaks & sunny-side-up stack
On days where my sister has to rush for other appointments, i make the most express & rudimentary food. Bread, eggs, bacon & mushroom basics.. you can't go wrong with them.
French Toasts needn't always be sweet. Savoury versions are just as appealing. I stacked up two french toast slices, crispy bacon and a cheery sunny side up, sided with some creamy mushrooms.
french toast, bacon & scrambled eggs stack
Dad loves scrambled eggs. Mine's done with a dash of cream and a non-systematic folding method. If not for the hurry, i would have beaten the eggs more evenly and used a bain-marie for closer perfection.
Creamy herb mushrooms & French Toasts
Seeing to mum's vegetarian commitments is another challenge. Meat-free, garlic/onions-free, yet looking and tasting as good? I'm still trying. Here's one french toast dish topped with seasoned white buttonMs and a drizzle of herby cream sauce.
Breakfast doesn't stop all at once, it recedes like a tide...

Why Can't I Throw a Temper Tantrum?
Explain to me why any of my children, including the largest I call my husband, believe they are allowed to basically throw 2 year old temper tantrums at any non announced moment? Now- if they could manage these fits without involving me I would be fine and just say "hey- to each his own". However; this is NEVER how these things roll! These things typically involve:
1) Screaming commences by said temper tantrum thrower (cussing if largest child)
2) I begin to hear things being thrown around and it starts to get louder
3) I jump straight up worried that my house if being destroyed (which 50% of the time is valid)
4) I begin to accomplish task that started temper tantrum
5) I accomplish said task
6) I clean up after temper tantrum
Now if these were typically difficult tasks I might be OK with the balance of power stated. They are never difficult. These are typically on something as simple as finding a clean pair of jeans or socks. Really- How have I raised a husband and 3 kids who are incapable of dressing themselves on occasion? I can dress myself – can't they learn by example or do I need to start laying their cloths out for them to avoid the yelling. Maybe if I confuse their cloths and lay the dresses out for the boys and gym cloths out for the girl they might learn?? Probably not though- they would just yell louder 🙂
This morning might be my favorite hubby temper tantrum of all time!! I asked him to do the one simple morning task that even the dumbest and most incompetent of people can usually accomplish- making coffee. Everything seemed to be moving along swimmingly. I was watching TV and relaxing when suddenly I hear lots and lots of cussing, then yep you guessed it- the banging. I jump up and run as fast I can to the kitchen in the fear he has somehow burned himself and we need to go to ER. What I see was even amazing to me- coffee grounds and coffee ALL over the kitchen and the entire coffee maker in the sink. How do you even pull that off??? I learned that the filter had accidentally folded over and it was running over. Instead of handling this minor situation (or even calling me too) his solution was to unplug the entire maker and throw it 4 feet in the sink. WTF?? Well needless to say 20 minutes later it was cleaned up and I was laughing at him. Ya know- sometimes ya gotta laugh instead of cry!
Now I'm by no means implying that I don't get mad and say a few choice words and yell on occasion because that would just be a lie!! I'm just saying mine usually have warning! Mine are more like a great composer writing a symphony that builds to a crescendo. Trust me- you can see em coming and have the choice to continue or not!! Most of my family is smart and knows to stop or run- my hubby and youngest – yep just not so smart!!
Every time one of these split second tantrums happens I remember Sally Fields in Steel Magnolia's saying something about maybe she should have more emotional outbursts at home because her husband would be so pleased. I think I may start trying them just for fun so they can stay on their toes. I want to see them jump on command- JUST ONCE!! 🙂
Life Lesson's Irreverent List- chapter 1
I'm going to say something very shocking for those of you who know me- I can be a little irreverent. Well OK maybe a lot! I don't tend to be the disrespectful kind- I just usually see the humor in things that most people hold dear so some take it as callous. I'm actually too old to care most of time and since I'm getting older I don't think it's going to get much better. You know the old saying "F em if they can't take a joke"- well that pretty much sums up my thought processes of the issue.
I see all of these list of 10 things etc etc going around so I figured why not do my own. I'll never get it all done today in this blog because as life goes on we learn new things everyday!
Here's what I've got so far:
1) People that are mushy and tooooo nice usually are full of ……!
I don't think they mean to be, but for gods sake, please do not try to convince me you are that happy and gushy all the time! I have no doubt most of them "think" the same things I do, but don't have the stones to say them. That's OK- I have no problem if you are not comfortable saying them- just don't judge me or think I'm callous because it "accidentally" slipping out of my mouth! You thought it too and if not well "Bless your heart"!!
2) Be proud and own the things you can't live down anyway!!
I know this is shocking, but I've done some down right stupid things in my life! If you have long term friends and family you will be all too aware that they will NEVER let you live those stupid things down anyway so you might as well embrace em!! I accidentally slammed "my own head" in a car door in my 20's (yes I was sober). I still hear about it at least once a year!! I have learned to bow and take my applause. Sometimes the stupid things we do make us memorable and memorable is always better than forgettable!!
3) Sometimes I know who NOT to vote for by whose yards their campaign signs are in
Everybody knows someone who falls into the category of "those" people. My definition of "those" people is very simple. They are always the people that have extreme views on everything and no tolerance for anything else. If they put a campaign sign in their yard- you can be darn tooting I will not be voting for that candidate! We investigate our candidates -sometimes I think candidates should be able to investigate the craziness of their supporters before they advertise it! 🙂
4) People who have no or very few friends- usually there's a valid reason
This life lesson took some time and age to really sink into my brain!! I always had this empathetic need to be their friends. I felt like if only they could see that life was fun and enjoyable they would magically change their attitudes and become decent human beings. Guess what??? It NEVER freaking happens!! Miserable people want to be miserable people! Best advice I can give you is get out of their pig pen and let them wallow alone!! My granny always said "if you fly with the crows you get shot with the crows" well I'm changing it to "if you wallow with the miserable- you'll need Prozac too"
5) Marriage is a wonderful institution for those of us who really need to be institutionalized!!
I hear all of these people saying "marriage is work" "marriage is a journey" etc etc I don't think marriage is any of those. Marriage is simply a choice you both make everyday to be downright stubborn. Now I'm not saying you're even gonna agree on the decision to stay married everyday cause trust me- you won't. In 16 years of marriage we have had some humdinger arguments and we are probably still married only due to my husbands steadfast hard headedness. We are still here and most days I'm happy he can be a stubborn ass and he just knows I need to be institutionalized!! 🙂
I'm working on "Things I've learned during motherhood" so if you think I'm irreverent now- you ain't seen nothing yet!!! 🙂
I shouldn't be allowed to watch the news!!
Do you remember being little and 12 pm, 6 pm, and 11 pm rolled around? Those were the dreaded times of day where the parents commandeered the "1" TV you had in the house. There were only about 5 channels to choose from and 3 of them were showing the NEWS. There was occasionally crying, temper tantrums, and a great 30 minutes of depression because you were gonna miss the episode where Jan and Marsha had a fight or the professor almost got Gilligan off the island. Those news channel programs were incredibly boring to us because they actually just "GAVE YOU THE DAILY NEWS" They were usually 30 minutes and were filled with actual FACTS.
The news today is quite different. The news today is entertainment. I don't even know why they produce sitcoms anymore because the news in itself can be down right hysterical. I can watch news now 24/7 on about it seems 100 channels. Now I know 100 may be a stretch, but not by much. Even the major networks are willing to interrupt their regularly scheduled programs for over 24 hours to report on a snow storm in Atlanta? Seriously- it's a snow storm- after an hour we got the fact it is snowing. I really don't need 24 hours of news to understand something I can look out my window to see. I laugh a lot at the descriptive words they use. It always reminds me of the immortal words of Inigo Montoya in the Princess Bride "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." A snow storm in Atlanta which will melt in 3 days is not exactly catastrophic. Shouldn't that word be reserved for losing homes and lives, I'll give ya catastrophic for hurricanes, tornado's, floods- ya know actual natural disasters. Snow storms- hmmmm??
An actual 30 minute news program today is actually about 5 minutes of facts and 25 minutes of making a mountain out of molehill as my granny used to say. Let's pick a topic, give one side of the facts, and then harp on it til we get everyone in a tizzy. Ya now- wind em up like a top! I swear they must sit around and just laugh at the ignorance most days. I'm guilty too- there are nights I watch and my head almost explodes, but usually I find the comedy. Last night was one of my favorites- they tell exactly where the incident happened, they tell us the lady they are interviewing lives two doors down, they tell us her full name, they interview her and show her hands because "she doesn't want to be shown on camera". After giving her location and full name did she think she was incognito?
The comedy in the 24 hour news channels could fill a book- much less this little blog!! They are actual 24 hour sitcoms all to themselves. Most of the 24 hours is spent having what I call "prize fights" Let's get two people who have 180 degree opposing views and have absolutely no ability to compromise and put them on a panel and turn them loose. The funny part is watching the commentator "who always has an agenda depending on the channel" do their best to make one look dumber than the other. We used to call a 2 on 1 fight unfair- now we call it the news.
The world is a funny place when you look for the humor. Next time you watch the news- don't fall for the wind up up like a top trap- watch for the funnies! I promise it'll make ya laugh. 🙂
Well I'm here- now what???
Well I'm starting this new adventure of blogging!! If you would of asked me 2 years ago what blogging was I probably would of laughed and made a sexual innuendo joke (You'll learn I do that A LOT) I'm convinced turning the mundane into a sexual innuendo is a skill. I don't have many skills, but God gave me that one in abundance!! 🙂 I haven't found one I couldn't do yet!!
I believe my family is a little concerned by the looks of actual terror on their faces! The hubby just shakes his head (you'll learn he does that A LOT) Needless to say my kids are not too thrilled with this "mom blogging idea". Their exact words went something like "seriously mom everyone knows every dumb thing we say and do because of Facebook now- the last thing you need is more space to write!!" My reply was "well Facebook doesn't have enough room for all the dumb things you do- sooo here we go!!"
Look – I'm about to have three teenagers and go through menopause. At this point, I'm looking for any way possible to keep them alive for at least the next 7 years and the I think this may be therapeutic. Hey and if it's not therapeutic at least it's somewhere new to embarrass the kids (it's the only joy of motherhood I've found) 🙂

It was a little after 9 p.m. on a typical Tuesday night, and Herndon resident John Salazar's 2-year-old son was playing with his toys quietly on the rug in the center of his living room, a Spanish-language "telenovela" soap opera playing on the mid-sized television. The smell of freshly-cooked fish and vegetables from dinner still hung in the air as Salazar, still wearing his work shirt with the name of his moving company, sat down on his couch and leaned back to relax after a 12-hour workday.
Just one night earlier, during an Oct. 24 Herndon Town Council public session, it was this same house that Town Council members declared a "detriment" to the community as they unanimously approved the town to file a civil suit for injunction against the owner of the home on the 1200 block of Sterling Road, for what the town says are three uncorrected overcrowding violations.
"It all started with somebody complaining about me fixing a fence out back without a license," Salazar said as he leaned in, his hands on his knees. "The next thing I know, they're giving me fines for the lights that aren't working in my deck … or a hole in the wall."
There have been no fines levied on anyone for building code violations at the property, although a complaint alleging failure to obey a stop work order filed by the town earlier this year for lack of proper building permits is currently active, according to building inspection officials with the Town of Herndon.
Salazar said that he was not involved in the construction of the project cited for violations by the town.
According to Salazar, when town investigators began inspecting the house, complaints had been filed against him for things like unfinished walls and non-working light fixtures on an enclosed sunroom attached to the back of the house. He added that the town once towed a car that was parked in the driveway of a vacant neighboring property and originally charged him $100 to get it back.
IT IS MONEY that Salazar, the sole breadwinner who at the time was taking care of two small children and a pregnant wife, could not afford to spend.
"I have two kids, one on the way and I need to pay for them, I can't be throwing away money like this," Salazar said. "We're just trying to live our lives here. I don't get it."
After the fines, he said, they turned their eyes on the number of people living in the house, which eventually led to the civil injunction to halt all zoning violations that was filed in Fairfax County Circuit Court earlier this month.
The suit alleges that the property is occupied by 10 individuals, four of whom are minors. As there are more than five adults who are not part of an immediate family, the complaint reads, the house is therefore over-occupied, as of a town notice sent to the owner of the house on July 13.
While Salazar admits that there had been two "family friends" living in the house at that time, those two people have since left. He added that neither he nor his family knew of the charges approved by the Town Council before he was approached to speak about this issue. The suit continues to read that the problem had failed to be abated, or resolved.
SALAZAR IS NOT the owner of the house and said he has only rented the home with his family for one year. His family and the current total occupants of the house, he claims, are himself, his wife, their two infant children, his cousin and his wife and their two infant children.
The four-bedroom home where Salazar and his family live is owned primarily by Jenny Crevoisier-Flores of Bristow, Va., according to court and property records. Crevoisier-Flores, along with the three other defendants listed in the official complaint, are being charged in Fairfax County Circuit Court for three civil violations associated with overcrowding, including over occupancy of a dwelling unit and failure to meet the definitions of a family.
SEVERAL REQUESTS for an interview with Crevoisier-Flores were ignored.
Santa Nunez, of Centreville, and two minors, all listed as "joint tenants" of the property, are listed alongside Crevoisier-Flores in the complaint filed by the Town of Herndon.
While several hundred potential violations of over-occupancy ordinances are investigated by town staff every year only a select few deemed more serious are met with a complaint for an injunction in Fairfax County Circuit Court, according to Herndon town attorney Richard Kaufman. So far, no fines have been imposed on the owners of the property for overcrowding violations.
Kaufman refused to comment on what specifically led the town to file a suit for injunction in this case.
"In my opinion this was a serious case of alleged overcrowding," Kaufman said. "The town always tries to abate any violations before they are taken to this level, and most people comply with the court order … in this case the defendant did not."
A review of official records of similar injunctions filed by the Town of Herndon in Fairfax County Circuit Court involving overcrowding allegations showed that there have been four complaints, including the case against Flores, filed since mid-2004.
Of the three other injunctions, one remains active while the other two have been resolved after owners agreed to abate the violations and allow for regular inspections, according to court records.
While the Town of Herndon levied civil penalties on all of those property owners prior to filing the suit for injunction, there have been no fines imposed as of yet on Flores or her co-defendants.
All of the properties allegedly violated the same ordinance, alleging too many non-related individuals found to be living in a home of its size.
As the case is ongoing, Kaufman and senior community inspector Bill Edmonston, head of Herndon's zoning enforcement team, refused to comment on specifics of the violations.
THE PROPERTY on the 1200 block of Sterling Street that is accused of over occupancy violations has been a problem for a long time, said Herndon Town Council member Bill Tirrell.
"There have been calls about that house for years, parties, noise, generally speaking it was not a good thing going on," Tirrell said, who added that while he had not personally witnessed any of the specific charges, he had heard complaints from more than one resident about the home.
Area residents approached by the Connection chose not to comment about the property on the record.
Since 2003 there have been three calls, all for noise violations, made to Herndon Police about the home, according to Lt. Don Amos of the Herndon Police Department, citing police records. All of the violations were corrected without the need to issue a citation.
SITTING ON THE COUCH in his living room, Salazar points around at the immaculately clean main floor of the split-level home.
"We keep this place clean, these walls are very well-painted," he said, gesturing around the room that contained a china cabinet, a desktop computer with a flat screen monitor and a clean dining room table with a vase filled with flowers sitting on its reflective surface. "We invite the neighbors over for barbecues in the summer, we try our best not to bother these people, I don't understand why they complain."
After amending the problem of the two extra adults living in the house, Salazar said that he wants to be left to live peacefully with his family without the threat of fines or anonymous complaints from neighbors.
Stepping into his sunroom, Salazar moves to a back window and switches on an outdoor light. In the yard sat a row of garbage cans and a refrigerator pushed against the house.
"See that [refrigerator]? That's only been there for two days, I replaced it with the new one here," Salazar said. "I better move it in two more [days] or I'll be in trouble for that, too."

Finding the right caterer for your family reunion, wedding or graduation party can be a real challenge. Making the right decision can either guarantee that you and your guests have an amazing experience, or one that you and your guests would rather forget.
How can you find just the right caterer in Akron, Ohio? By asking good questions about the caterer's experience with your type of event, no matter if it is a business luncheon catering or wedding reception catering. Here are some questions that you may want to ask a potential caterer:
Do you have a specialty? If you are looking for a caterer to handle your summer barbeque and you are interviewing a caterer who specializes in vegan cuisine, you may not have found the best fit. Simply put, if you want to have a barbeque, then you need someone who specializes in BBQ catering in Akron, Ohio.
What does your price include? Many caterers in Cleveland may give you a price, but it may not include everything that you need for your party. Get an estimate in writing that lists everything that's included. You should know what your responsibility is from the start.
Will you coordinate rentals? For large parties, your site may require tables, chairs and even dishes, glasses and silverware. Ask your caterer if they can coordinate all of those rentals for you as well. It will save you time and frustration during the weeks leading up to the event. Special Moments Catering can coordinate these services.
Have you worked the site before? Knowing if your caterer has worked at the site you are considering for other events is a critical question. A caterer who is familiar with the management, layout and facilities will be able to give you a more accurate price and fewer surprises the day of your event. If they haven't worked at the site before, take the initiative by setting up a time to meet with them and the site management at the site well before the time of your function.
Choosing a caterer can be a successful process as long as you approach it as though it is a job interview. In fact, it is! Having a list of questions and getting the answers you need will help you to make a good selection for your wedding reception or business luncheon catering.

Imagine having a watch made from renewable sources! That's a first for Malaysia, and three young guys are behind the revolution, reports JOY LEE.
WATCH-MAKING is often associated with refined craftsmanship and complex movements, exquisite artistry and stylish displays, lavish affairs with all the right blings and big advertising dollars.
Well, not for Project Woodworks. The local wooden watchmaker is more concerned about sustainability and social impact than actual time-telling masterpieces, and all the perceived class that comes with watch-making.
Project Woodworks was founded by three 23-year-olds – Zac Tan, Wallace Fong and Bryan Chang – about a year ago. And the trio, friends since primary school, is clear about their mission: to push forward a movement to utilise wood as a material. Why wood? Because it is a renewable resource. And one way of using wood fashionably is to make watches from it.
The product foundation is simple. Make use of wood waste from Forest Stewardship Council-certified providers, and fashion it into wooden watch straps. Currently, the watches are available in maple, dark hardwood and black sandal wood variations.
Their watches use the Citizen Miyota Quartz movement with a square face encased in scratch-proof hardened mineral glass. The watches are priced at RM469 apiece.
Project Woodworks has also partnered Tropical Rainforest Conservation and Research Center (TRCRC) to donate a portion of its revenue to tree-planting efforts. Fong noted that consumers will be updated on the tree-planting efforts that their purchases have gone towards.
"This is an opportunity to also educate consumers through our products. People tend to be more environmentally-conscious when they get something back from giving," said Fong.
"We want people to also be part of the movement and not just buy the product," added Tan.
The trio's woodwork project started out with Tan's experience in growing up in his father's wooden furniture workshop. His father scaled back operations when the economy wasn't doing too well in 2008. But Tan, by then, was already quite taken up by wood. Tan went on to study architecture, with focus on sustainable designs.
But Tan wanted to venture into something that enabled him to give back to the community and environment. And when Tan decided on wooden watches, Chang, who had explored social enterprise as a viable business model during his final year of study in finance, joined him. Fong then left his environmental consultancy job and also join them.
"When Zac suggested the idea, I developed the business model on how to incorporate social impact into the business. I think profits, sustainability and social impact can be aligned for sustainable businesses. We believe this is the way the world should work," said Chang.
They then went about sourcing for the right materials and manufacturer and participated in an accelerator programme under Malaysian Global Innovation & Creativity Center (MaGIC) to get guidance on how to kick-start their venture.
Project Woodworks finally rolled out the brand in the market last September and managed to sell about 50 watches in the first two months. The wooden timepieces are available online and at selected retail stores.
Currently, the watches are designed by Tan and outsourced to manufacturers in China before they are brought into his father's workshop in Puchong to be assembled into finished products.
Tan said the brand may also explore the possibility of producing other wood-based accessories in the future.

E2E Forum › User Interfaces › How to align the values in the table columns
This topic contains 0 replies, has 1 voice, and was last updated by Andi 5 years, 4 months ago.
By default, string values are aligned left and numeric values aligned right in the column. But sometimes it looks nicer to have the values of a column aligned in the center.
To achieve this, just add the following script in the drawCallback operation on the <<UITableBinding>> usage dependency of your table:
// enable center columns
Then add at the <<UIColumnBinding>> on the tagged value 'cssClass' the value 'center-column' for every column you want to have centered.

Sleep deprivation is bad for you. At this point, it's pretty uncontroversial: it makes your brain more or less cannibalize itself, and it's linked to Alzheimer's disease. It messes with your behavior, too. According to a new study, it could make you incompetent on the job.

What's awesome about HoverKicks is that there are 11 different light styles to choose from. Regardless of what style of shoe you have, settings options include red, green, blue, lime green, teal, purple, light blue, strobe, glow, quick changing, or a strobe-glow combo.
All you need to do to change from one light style to another is click the button on the charger port. To turn your HoverKicks off, click through all of the styles until they power off.
Another fun way to control your light up shoes is by picking up a HoverKicks Remote Control Upgrade Kit. Not only does this remote control help you switch settings easier, but it also comes with more static color options and a convenient on/off button. All of our products work with this remote control except the Luna model because these shoes already come with their own special remote control.
How to Care for Your Hoverkicks
HoverKicks require a little extra love and care compared to standard shoes, but it's totally worth it if you love to dance, party, stand out, or just walk the dog a little safer at night. It's okay to wear your HoverKicks on days with a little light rain or snow, but pull on some rainboots or flip flops instead for torrential downpour days or water rides at the amusement park. This is because the batteries inside the shoes need to stay dry to keep working well.
Also, avoid leaving your HoverKicks in extreme heat conditions, like the trunk of a car on a summer day. Very high heat can impact your shoes' batteries and cause them not to light up anymore.
Since you'll likely be wearing your new Hoverkicks all the time now, they're bound to get dirty over time. Unlike your old favorite sneakers that you used to toss in the washing machine, remember that HoverKicks don't like a lot of water. So instead, wash them with a damp washcloth, mild soap, and warm water. Simplicity is best for keeping your HoverKicks looking shiny and new for years to come.
How to Charge Hoverkicks
Conveniently, all HoverKicks come with a USB cable that allows you to charge both shoes at the same time. To charge them, simply connect the cable to the charger port in each shoe. You'll find the charger port located inside the shoe, at the ankle and above the laces. You can plug the other end of the cable into a standard wall adapter and pop that into a wall outlet. You'll know that your HoverKicks are charging successfully when you see red lights flashing along the soles of the shoes while plugged in.
It only takes about 2-3 hours to fully charge your HoverKicks, but they'll actually charge faster if you turn them off before plugging them in. Once charged, pull them on, lace them up, and enjoy up to six hours of LED-lit feet! You should also know that the battery life may be affected by the type of setting that your shoes are currently set to. For example, brighter colors tend to use up more battery power. To turn the lights on, press directly below the charging port. You'll press and hold the same button until the lights go out to turn them off.
For more tips and tricks about getting the most out of your new HoverKicks, check out our blog, "Light Up Sneakers: The Dos and Don'ts of Wearing Your Hoverkicks." And even if you're an old pro at light up shoes, you still might learn something about using them to their fullest potential!

Japan, April 28, 2011
An eight-year-old boy, who had lost his parents and home in the great quake and tsunami, returned with his aunt and uncle to the place where his house had been. There he saw the things so much changed; he found his broken toys in the mud and his little bicycle, which was so deformed. The boy caressed them.

Wall-E has adorable droopy eyes and is totally compelling, but I have to remind everyone that he isn't real. If you need a minute to let that sink in take as much time as you need. We're gonna talk about Romibo and you can catch up later.
The thing is that when researchers are trying to conduct social experiments, look at human-robot interactions, or pair robots with disabled individuals, their unhumaness can be distracting or unnerving. There have been other attempts to make cute, dynamic robots, but Romibo has a much broader range of functions and sensors and is more customisable as a therapeutic robot.
Originally introduced in 2012, Romibo's year on the open-source circuit has led to improvements like using an iPhone for greater emotional eye expression, and broader control over Romibo's movements. [IEEE Spectrum]

2016 Tempranillo
Tarzali Tempranillo, a soft and generous wine with upfront fruit characters underlined with dark cherries and wonderful texture.
To be drunk as a young fresh wine or with up to 5-8 years bottle age. Drink by itself or with gamey meat or tomato based dishes.
2016 Sangiovese
A native of Northern Italy, this variety has adapted well in Northeast Victoria to produce a wine with delicacy and savoury flavour.
It has medium body, but a capacity to age over 5 years or so to become an excellent accompaniment for, especially pasta, and other Italian inspired dishes.
2016 Shiraz
Shiraz in the Strathbogie Ranges is typically spicy and peppery – a little bit lighter in body than the wines of Australia's more traditional regions. This makes it an excellent food wine – best with any meat dishes and cheeses.
Under the right conditions, it has great cellaring potential and will age well for a decade or more.
2016 Neds Red
The Wine, like Ned, has its origins in a number of varieties, Mourvedre, Grenache and Shiraz which have been blended together to make a big bodied, energetic and robust style. It can be enjoyed now and for the next five years.
2017 Pinot Noir Dry Rose
This wine is made using Pinot Noir which makes for a dry, refreshing and slightly savoury Rose'.
We have used unsettled juice and wild yeast fermentation techniques to produce a wine with great texture and palate length.
We have used unsettled juice and wild yeast fermentation techniques to produce a wine with great texture and palate length.
The wine has beautiful salmon colour and the delightful aroma of fruit and complex spices. The palate is full, yet crisp and dry. Enjoy best chilled.

It's also important to not only look at events going on in your course but in different schools, which could potentially benefit you. Look at the bigger picture, the yearly calendar will be full of networking events in your local area and further afield, there's always something going on in London. Attend shows and discover companies and individuals that could offer you a wealth of knowledge. If you haven't already, check out Part two of this post for my first couple of tips for networking at university. Engage in the event As for guest speakers – go and chat to them! If you're smart you'll have done your research beforehand so you can begin a conversation based on something you know will interest them. A few weeks ago we had a recruiter come in, and after speaking with him about my interest in work experience over the summer, he gave me his email and asked me to send over a portfolio. People do want to help you succeed, you just have to engage them. Don't be afraid to broach the subject of work experience, people need you – we are responsible for the future of the economy after all. Remember the business card isn't dead. Ignore your lack of business and get them made, it's a personal touch that will remind people to call you. Having spoken to John Bradley, a retired influential fleet manager for Hampshire constabulary, he stressed that handing out business cards is still as important today. "I file them with a little yellow tag, on ones that I will need in the near future. I still get phone calls now from people who I handed my business card to and they need an advisor, it's amazing how people won't forget you." Trust in your knowledge, but you don't know it all Have faith in your own abilities, you would be surprised how little "experts" may know on a subject that you could talk about for days. Talk to people with confidence, it will reassure them that you know what you are talking about. I found that through various jobs I have taken on, filming for different companies, Directors 40 years my senior could not tell you the difference between a camera and an iPad. They are trusting in you to do what you do well, so embrace it and show people you are great. But keep in mind, you don't know everything yet. There will always be somebody better than you in something. Don't hate these people, learn from them. If you know nothing about their area of expertise just emphasise your deep interest and excitement for what they do. It will earn you respect and make people want to teach you or even better, help you.

The Zendrive Score just received its largest makeover to date. We designed the new version to be simpler and easier to understand, providing the right kind of actionable insight into driver behavior that fleet managers need.
Zendrive score has been around for a few years and has seen a lot of use. But it hadn't ever been changed before. We spoke with customers about how they use the Zendrive Score, what they liked and didn't like about it, and how it helps them manage safety in their businesses.
With that information, we went back to the drawing board to come up with the best possible version 2. In this process of designing the new score, we focused on making it as Understandable and Actionable as possible. Here's how we tackled it:
- Understandable – This was based on a clear need from customers to be able to quickly understand what they are seeing at at a glance. Our fleet management customers are busy people running commercial fleets who don't have time to learn a complex system.
- Actionable – Customers also said they wanted to be able to see as directly as possible what their drivers could do differently to improve their scores. We wanted the score to intuitively convey a path to better, safer driving.
This is what we came up with:
Now, the Zendrive Score shows users at a glance how drivers perform on a 0-100 scale.
- A score in the 90's is excellent.
- A score between 72-90 is considered fair.
- A score below 72 indicates a risky driver.
The dashboard also displays four Event Ratings that drive this overall score: hard braking, aggressive acceleration, excessive speeding, and risky phone use. These four are rated A through F like school grades.
Together, the Zendrive Score and the Event Ratings form a complete picture of a driver's safety.
- Zendrive Score represents their overall performance
- Event Ratings show which behaviors drivers can improve to raise their overall score
The overall Zendrive Score represents an aggregation of the risk factors within a driver's control.
Zendrive calculates a grade for each dangerous driving event. In the Zendrive Dashboard, these grades show up as letters A-F.
- A grade of A means a driver has few or none of the indicated event and generally does a good job avoiding that event.
- A grade of B or C means the driver has an average amount of the event, and could improve.
- A grade of D or F means the driver has more than the average amount of the event, and should focus on reducing that dangerous driving behavior.
Your riskiest drivers cost more than you may think. But the Zendrive Score gives you the tools to turn the situation around.
