Cats continuously need adequate care. Unfortunately, sometimes, their owners cannot do this. Should you leave your cat with a friend in your house, let the cat be alone and just have your friend stop by to come in, play and feed the cat, or send the cat to a cattery? Temporary housing for cats is for the safety, health and well-being of your feline friend when you go on holiday, when moving houses, when you need to stay in the hospital and even during building work in your house. Put your cat in a cat boarding Sydney West has available for cat lovers and owners today who pride themselves on the care they give to cats entrusted to them.
There is nothing more heartbreaking for cat lovers than leaving their cats. It is even more depressing if they have to leave them, even temporarily, when they're just kittens. Being escape artists make it impossible to bring them conveniently along. Experts conclude that the best time to get your cat used to a cattery is for you to start them young. Kittens readily adapt. You can book a test night in a well-managed cat boarding in Sydney West today.
Needs of Cats Provided by a Good Cattery
Experienced catteries know that cats, just like humans, need comfort, a good diet, grooming and playtime.
As adorable as they are, they are not sociable. A reputable cat boarding Sydney West has today for cat lovers is aware that cats don't interact well because of their independent nature. Introducing your cat to other cats needs careful planning and may show positive results after weeks or months. Brawls are frequent for territorial cats and thus bite wounds, severe eye injuries, disease transmission and stress from bullying are common. Because of this, catteries separate cats. If possible, bring your cat's own bed, bowl or blanket to help her feel secure. Quality catteries take these factors into consideration and make sure that all is easy, safe and okay for you and your feline friend.
Experienced Sydney West cat boarding staff know that for cats, mental stimulation is therapeutic. What does this mean? Seen a cat watching from a window? There is nothing that they enjoy doing more.
It's part of cats' nature to move. We all know no animal can climb, run, jump, stalk and run gracefully, skillfully and simultaneously than they do. Cats get depressed if they can't do these.
Just like people, cats are prone to having their health compromised. The best cat boarding Sydney West has now for concerned cat lovers injects with vaccination upon boarding.
So, you see a top-notch cat boarding Sydney West has today that customers can leave their cats with peace of mind, does not only have medical help but does weight checks, visually inspects their cats, has a private enclosure for every cat, does brushing, interacts with cats and gives playtime in a room with windows. They are also veterans in this field.

You're looking at buying a Transformer Book? Wait! A Haswell refresh is coming and it could make a huge difference. Mobilegeeks spotted the refreshed (not redesigned) T300 model at Computex today. Video below.
As Haswell-based Ultrabooks aren't expected until the Aug-Sept timeframe there's still a long time to wait so if you're really looking for a Transformer Book now, maybe a few weeks wait will pay off in terms of price reductions. One wonders why ASUS didn't just wait for Haswell in the first place.
Thanks Mobilegeeks. (Check out their video channel on YouTube here because there's a lot of good stuff flowing through it.)

Increased Risk of Psychiatric and Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Siblings
Published May 5, 2016
In a new study published JAMA Pediatrics yesterday examined psychiatric records of siblings of people with autism living in Finland. They found the rates of ASD, ADHD, ID, childhood emotional disorders, learning and coordination disorders, conduct and oppositional disorders, and tic disorders, were more frequent among siblings of siblings with ASD. Also, there was an increase in schizophrenia spectrum disorders and affective disorders. This was seen in the siblings of both males and females. Besides the obvious implication on mental health care in families affected by ASD, these results suggest that all of these issues might share common genetic and environmental risk factors. The abstract can be found here: http://archpsyc.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=2519364

Today's NYTimes has an article discussing the changing landscape of measurement on the web. It seems that the portals' lunch is being eaten by ad networks. The solution? The old school enterprises
[think: Yahoo, AOL] are quelling the upstart competition via the murders and acquisition strategy. See The change exists at the nexus of a few other trends: 1] Measurement as it applies to advertising is over-rated. It may be able to track impressions, clicks and surf-paths but – and my apologies to my colleagues in SEO, research and analytics – BFD. Numbers are just a tool that can be manipulated and interpreted 365 ways 'til Christmas. They're not a way of life, as the bean counters would have us believe. At the end of the day decisions are still made at the gut level; and sometimes regardless of what the data shows. I had the opportunity of hearing Kevin Clancy talk about his new book, Your Gut is Still Not Smarter Than your Head, which he describes as the antidote to Gladwell"s Blink. You decide. 2] Paid advertising on the web [ie: media buy] is going the way of the Letraset sheet. It will retain a large niche market [banners, ad words and the like] but the medium is different from TV and print, whence the media placement model is based. Learnings should be taken more from the telephone and its ad-free model. Marketing communications shops will still be in demand with the shift from the "agency" model bet online casinos to a greater reliance on creative, viral and PR-style placement; influencing, letting the grass-roots decide, rather than the [I can't believe it's still in vogue] hit 'em over the head new and improved informercial life-styled pap that clogs the ether regardless of the channel. [This bit triggered by what Larry Weber is trying to do with his new enterprise, Digital Influence Group]. 3] Lastly [and arguably this contradicts the points above], is the mutual desire of marketers and creatives to have a pay for performance model. Dollars are getting squeezed all around. Agencies will be putting a stake in the ground, putting their bottom

Bathroom Remodel – 03/2016
Howell, MI
A bathroom remodel does not have to be extensive and expensive. Simple upgrades like granite, ceramic tile and a fresh coat of paint can take your bathroom from dull and dated to fresh and fantastic. You can also upgrade the vanity, light fixture, faucet, and towel bars.
Kitchen Remodel – 02/2016
Howell, MI
This updated kitchen features Taconic Slate tile flooring, Merillat cabinets, granite countertops, a Blanco under-mount sink, tile backsplash and stainless steel fixtures and appliances.

Half a King (Book one of The Half a King Trilogy) by Joe Abercrombie (Del Rey Hardcover 07/15/2014) –Joe's first venture into the waters of Young Adult. It is a new Joe Abercrombie book, nothing else needs to be known abou tit..
"I swore an oath to avenge the death of my father. I may be half a man, but I swore a whole oath."
Prince Yarvi has vowed to regain a throne he never wanted. But first he must survive cruelty, chains, and the bitter waters of the Shattered Sea. And he must do it all with only one good hand.
The deceived will become the deceiver.
Born a weakling in the eyes of his father, Yarvi is alone in a world where a strong arm and a cold heart rule. He cannot grip a shield or swing an axe, so he must sharpen his mind to a deadly edge.
The betrayed will become the betrayer.
Gathering a strange fellowship of the outcast and the lost, he finds they can do more to help him become the man he needs to be than any court of nobles could.
Will the usurped become the usurper?
But even with loyal friends at his side, Yarvi finds his path may end as it began—in twists, and traps, and tragedy.
City of Stairs by Robert Jackson Bennett (Crown Trade Paperback 09/14/2014) – I said when I was on the SF Signal Podcast a few weeks ago this was one of the books I am most looking forward to reading mainly because his two most recent (as of 2013) novels The Troupe and American Elsewhere are two of my favorite books of the last few years. I'm going to be reading this one sooner rather than later even though it won't be out for months.
An atmospheric and intrigue-filled novel of dead gods, buried histories, and a mysterious, protean city—from one of America's most acclaimed young SF writers.
The city of Bulikov once wielded the powers of the gods to conquer the world, enslaving and brutalizing millions—until its divine protectors were killed. Now Bulikov has become just another colonial outpost of the world's new geopolitical power, but the surreal landscape of the city itself—first shaped, now shattered, by the thousands of miracles its guardians once worked upon it—stands as a constant, haunting reminder of its former supremacy Into this broken city steps Shara Thivani. Officially, the unassuming young woman is just another junior diplomat sent by Bulikov's oppressors. Unofficially, she is one of her country's most accomplished spies, dispatched to catch a murderer. But as Shara pursues the killer, she starts to suspect that the beings who ruled this terrible place may not be as dead as they seem—and that Bulikov's cruel reign may not yet be over.
The Ultra Thin Man by Patrick Swenson (Tor Hardcover 08/12/2014) – Debut SF Thriller novel from Swenson, who's published short stories and edited anthologies.
n the twenty-second century, a future in which mortaline wire controls the weather on the settled planets and entire refugee camps drowse in drug-induced slumber, no one—alive or dead, human or alien—is quite what they seem. When terrorists manage to crash Coral, the moon, into its home planet of Ribon, forcing evacuation, it's up to Dave Crowell and Alan Brindos, contract detectives for the Network Intelligence Organization, to solve a case of interplanetary consequences. Crowell's and Brindos's investigation plunges them neck-deep into a conspiracy much more dangerous than anything they could have imagined.
The two detectives soon find themselves separated, chasing opposite leads: Brindos has to hunt down the massive Helk alien Terl Plenko, shadow leader of the terrorist Movement of Worlds. Crowell, meanwhile, runs into something far more sinister—an elaborate frame job that puts our heroes on the hook for treason.
Crowell and Brindos are forced to fight through the intrigue to discover the depths of an interstellar conspiracy. And to answer the all-important question: Who, and what, is the Ultra Thin Man?

Medical Insurance
Medical Plan Information
2020 Networks and Contributions
Semi-monthly Rates
The premium amounts shown above will be deducted from each of your first two paycheck per month.
Enrolling in a Medical Plan
Most regular, full-time employees may enroll for benefit coverage to be effective on the first of the month following the first day of employment. Waiting periods and participation start dates can be found in the policy or collective bargaining agreement governing your employment.
Other employees may become eligible to enroll in the medical plan and HRA/VEBA due to provisions of the Affordable Care Act. If this applies to you, plan and enrollment information will be provided at the time you become eligible.
If you have questions on your eligibility for the medical plan, please contact the Benefits Office.
Plan Design
The City of Minneapolis offers a self-insured medical plan administered by Medica. This means the City uses its own funds to pay for employees' medical expenses and contracts with Medica for services such as plan design, provider network access, claims processing and customer service.
The City of Minneapolis Medical Plan features one plan design with a choice of provider networks. The plan provides coverage for a wide range of covered services including physician services, hospital services and prescription drugs.
- Eligible preventive services are paid at 100%. Other covered services are subject to an annual deductible.
- The annual deductible is $2,000 for an individual and $4,000 for a family. A deductible is a fixed dollar amount you pay for covered services before your medical plan pays for anything during the plan year. Prescriptions are not counted toward the annual deductible.
- You will pay co-insurance of 20% of the cost for covered services received from network providers after you have met your deductible. Coinsurance is a percentage amount that you pay after a service has been provided and a claim has been processed.
- The out-of-pocket maximum is $3,000 for an individual and $6,000 for a family. An out-of-pocket maximum is the maximum limit of deductible, prescription co-pays, and coinsurance for covered services that you could pay each year. If you reach the out of pocket maximum, the City of Minneapolis Medical Plan will pay 100% of charges for covered services for the remainder of the calendar year.
- When you fill prescriptions at a retail pharmacy that participates in your provider network, you will be responsible to pay the pharmacy a copayment that varies depending on the category your medication is in:
- Generic: $10 copayment
- Preferred brand: $25 copayment
- Non-preferred brand: $50 copayment
Network Information
When you enroll, you must select one provider network from the available options to provide care for you and all dependents covered by your plan.
Some of the network options are accountable care organization (ACO) networks. In an ACO, groups of doctors, nurses, and other health care providers work together with your health plan to provide coordinated care. This means you receive enhanced care at a lower cost. When you enroll in an ACO, you can give Medica and your ACO permission to share information with each other. This helps you get the care you need and gives you access to programs and services that can benefit you. See the network descriptions below for details.
Generally speaking, you can't change networks once you are enrolled, so it's important to choose the best network for your needs.
Provider Network Options
Medica Choice® Passport
Consider selecting Medica Choice Passport if it's important to you to be able to see a wide range of providers without a referral.

- All of the Medica Elect care systems require a primary physicians referral in order for you to see specialists or facilities outside the care system.
- You do not need a referral for urgent care centers, emergency room care, mental health or substance abuse care or an annual eye exam by an optometrist or ophthalmologist within your selected network.

text: The young director Tze Chun is not a flashy filmmaker, but he understands the vulnerability of immigrant workers in the sleazy sub-rosa economies of a floundering 21st-century America. Tze has lived that life, and observes it with acuity in this straightforward tale of Raymond and Tina (played by the enchantingly solemn Michael Chen and Crystal Chiu), two Asian children trying to look after themselves while their single mother (Cindy Cheung) becomes embroiled in an illegal Boston pyramid scheme that leaves the undocumented family equally exposed to exploitation by some who mean well—and others who don't. Children of Invention was edited (on her living-room floor) by Anna Boden, co-director with Ryan Fleck of Half Nelson and Sugar, and Tze's movie is infused with the same quality of (mostly) unsentimental mercy, and the same sensitivity to the way in which being placed at risk without basic rights invariably breeds more and more risk. In the children's creative response to their apparent abandonment we see—only a little wistfully—the capacity of kids to fashion a viable world out of the materials available, as well as a rueful homage to American dreams both wonderful and warped. As a bonus, there's no spurious uplift.

Intuitive Touch Blog
What Do We Mean By Intuitive Touch?
When you look at your smart phone, its pretty obvious where to put your fingers, and even without instructions, we figure out how to use the touch based environment.
We don't even think about how to use computer mice, car stereos, microwave ovens — these devices are intuitive — they behave in a way that "makes sense", even if you're not reading an instruction manual. That's intuitive.
What if you cannot see the device — because its dark, you're blind, or you are keeping your eyes on the road? What if you're having a great moment with your vibrator and you accidentally push the button and get a vibration pattern you hate. Now, you want to get right back to that, but — "Did I push the button 5 times or 6? I can't quite remember". And really — you shouldn't have to. What if the device could remember for you and operate in a way that just "makes sense"? That would be pretty intuitive.
That's where Intuitive Touch Technology comes in — our software and hardware solution figures out where your whole hand is. It combines motion, touch, and machine learning to figure out what an individual user is trying to do, then makes it happen. There is not necessarily a screen involved. If a device is tilted, or not gripped perfectly, or the user has shaky hands, the device is smart enough to correct for these things and provide a reliable, intuitive user experience. The device provides intelligent feedback to the user's body, based on what it learns from repeated use.
Touch is a pretty fundamental part of the human experience. We want to bring that to as many people as possible, in many different products — tools for medical professionals, gaming devices, and yes — intimate products like vibrators.
Welcome to the Intuitive Touch Blog.
IntuitiveTouchTech is developing our spin on touch sensing with applications ranging from consumer electronics to automotive and medical devices. Instead of putting your fingers on buttons on a touch screen, our technology looks at your whole hand, and puts the controls under your fingers.
Even if your hands are shaky, or the device isn't held perfectly, our technology makes touch sensing work reliably and intuitively. This allows touch sensing to work in environments where you cannot look at the controls, or you cannot see the controls, or your hands do not work well with traditional devices like Smart Phones.
We'll be writing in this Blog about the development of the Intuitive Touch Platform, developers' kits, and the products we are making based on this exciting technology. In addition, our first product line based on this technology is being developed by Una Vibrators.

'The Delug'e - Polish Vs Swedish Baroque Game
Only our second game of Baroque but already Myself and John Maguire are starting to really enjoy the gaming system, however we still get a little mixed up with Impetvs on occasions. Todays game was played at John's house with two of his fantastic collections. The Polish Army is still not completed so we had to supplement the infantry, additional cavalry and artillery from other Armies. But the Swedes were completed represented by their own troops.
Unfortunately we only played about two hours of the game and had to leave it set up for another afternoon in order to finish the game. But until then please enjoy the images from todays game and the beautifully painted Polish cavalry...very envious.

Mavis Staples's 75th Birthday Party is Basically One Giant Music Festival
The lifelong Chicagoan celebrates 75 years of gospel with a star-studded lineup at the Auditorium Theatre next week.
Mavis Staples has been alive for 75 years, and for most of them, she's been singing—so it makes sense that the gospel legend and lifelong Chicagoan will celebrate her dodranscentennial with a concert. On November 19, Staples will join roughly two dozen esteemed musicians at the Auditorium Theatre to toast her near seven–decade career, which began in the 1940s with family band the Staples Singers.
The show is being billed as a birthday party—albeit one four months late—but given the lineup, it's more a tour de force. Among the cast joining Staples are far-flung icons (Bonnie Raitt, Gregg Allman, Taj Mahal, Emmylou Harris, Keb' Mo', Aaron Neville, Patty Griffin), fellow Chicagoans (Otis Clay, Jeff Tweedy), and a new generation of rock, folk, and country stars (Grace Potter, Ryan Bingham, and two members of Arcade Fire).
As for what that will look like on stage, music director Don Was has kept things fairly under-wraps, but expect plenty of collaborative riffing on Staples songs—some with the singer, some without. Check out the entire lineup here, and pick up tickets here.
Go: Wednesday, November 19 at 7:30. Auditorium Theatre, 50 E. Congress. $75-250.

You know what the whole Enron scandal was missing? We mean, besides the utter lack of accountability on the part of the politicians who enabled it.
It was missing songs. And dance! There was a parody musical of sorts in Houston a while back -- our wife still has the coffee mug from it -- but it didn't really take off.
Now there's a show that seems to be turning into a big hit in the London stage world, and rumors have it possibly coming to Broadway.
Enron, it's unimaginatively called, and it's directed by a guy who's done well-reviewed productions of Macbeth, Oliver! and King Lear.
Playbill's description is pretty sparse:
Based on real-life events and using music, dance and video, Enron explores one of the most infamous scandals in financial history, reviewing the tumultuous 1990s and casting a new light on the financial turmoil in which the world currently finds itself.
The big question: Who's playing our favorite Houstonians?
We Believe Local Journalism is Critical to the Life of a City

Support Our Journalism
Ken Lay is played by Tim Pigott-Smith, who certainly sounds like he's a British actor. He played an evil dude in V for Vendetta who got killed by Face-Mask Guy.
Jeff Skilling is played by Samuel West, perhaps best-known for essaying Dr. Frankenstein in Van Helsing. (Possibly relevant dialogue from that bomb, if you substitute "Ken Lay" for "Count Dracula":
Dr. Victor Frankenstein: You said... you said you believed in my work.
Count Dracula: And I do. But now that it is, as you yourself have said, "A triumph of science over God", it must now serve my purpose.)
So not exactly a stellar cast, in terms of movie credits. Nevertheless, as Playbill reports in a language that is far too refined for us, "According to press information, 'plans are afoot for a production of Enron on Broadway in 2010.'"
No word was available on whether the production will include the scenic Houston mountains displayed in the TV movie Crooked E: The Unshredded Truth About Enron (Starring Mike Farrell as Ken Lay!).

text: Objective: The present study aimed to describe contact made by the elderly to Sweden's nationwide medical helpline, Healthcare Guide 1177 by Phone (HGP). Other objectives were to study potential gender differences and the association between different HGP referral levels and acute visits to hospital-based emergency departments and acute visits to primary care centres. Design: De-identified data from recorded calls to HGP was extracted for analysis (n=7477 for the oldest age group). Information about acute visits to emergency departments and to primary care reception was extracted from the patient administration system.Setting: Vasterbotten County, Sweden.Subjects: Patients over 80 years.Main outcome measures: Calling and visiting frequencies for different age groups as well as reasons for contact and individual recommendations. Results: The utilisation rate of the telephone advice service for the oldest age group was high, with an incidence rate of 533 per 1000 person-years. Women had a 1.17 times higher incidence rate compared with men. The most common reason for contact was drug-related questions (17% of all contacts). Calls that were recommended to care by a medical specialist correlated with total emergency department visits (r=0.30, p<0.05) and calls that were given advice correlated with acute primary healthcare visits (r=0.38, p=0.005). Conclusion: The high utilisation of the telephone advice service by the elderly gives the telephone advice service a unique ability to function as a gatekeeper to further healthcare. Our data suggest that with the telephone advice service's present guidelines, a significant proportion of all calls are being directed to further medical help. The high frequency of drug-related questions raises concerns about the elderly's medication regimens.

Ning Tang
Founder & CEOCreditEase
In 2006, recognizing the contribution that the 60 million small and micro enterprises make to the Chinese economy, and inspired by the fledgling microfinance sectors in other developing economies, Mr. Ning Tang established CreditEase. The philosophy behind the business was and remains today that everyone deserves access to credit, and that credit can generate value for all sectors of the community. This guiding philosophy has under-pinned the growth of the business from a single product business in 2006, to today's diversified financial services business, and the core of the business remains focused on those sectors of the community who find it difficult to access the formal (bank) credit sectors. Mr. Ning Tang was educated at the School of Mathematical Sciences at Peking University, and continued his education in the field of Economics in the U.S. He began his career at DLJ Investment Bank on Wall Street, where he worked in a range of debt and equity capital markets roles, working on IPOs, bond issues and mergers for companies in the fields of finance, telecom, media and technology. He returned to Beijing and joined AsiaInfo in 2000.

Any suggestions for eye cream?
I use Paula's Choice PC4Men daytime and night time repair, but curious if there's something you've found and liked.
Any suggestions for eye cream?
I use Paula's Choice PC4Men daytime and night time repair, but curious if there's something you've found and liked.
1. Sun screen when it will be sunny. Also apply every 2 hrs if I will be in the sun. I honestly use Babyganics and another baby one my wife buys.
2. Retinol at night. It says 2% but I think they mean something else. 1% usually requires a prescription. I will likely upgrade to a .5% after a year of use then go prescription later. I use: https://www.sephora.com/product/the-...ulsion-P427418
3. Vitamin C in the mornings. I rotate between: https://theordinary.com/product/rdn-...t-30ml?redir=1 and https://theordinary.com/product/rdn-...t-30ml?redir=1
I would buy a more expensive ascorbic acid but getting that pure gets pricey quickly.
First, just stopping to note that "for Men" is an absurd way for companies to brand and make more money by selling things in black bottles vs. white/colors, often for an upticked price for no other reason.
I stopped using a separate eye cream and relied on an overnight recovery cream that the woman who does my facials (I go every other month / quarterly, approx)-- linked here: https://www.heydayskincare.com/produ...recovery-cream
It's expensive, but has been much more effective for me in balancing my skin and providing moisture (including for eyes) than anything else I've tried... including other pricey options. I also use an Ursa Major face wash which is the best I've used in a while (great smell as well).
As JB noted, I use a lotion w SPF during the day as well. Mine is a pricey version my wife likes, since it's something I have on hand, but YMMV on that front.
@hornsup84 - How long does one of those containers last? When I see 1.x oz. I think it can't last very long.
I'm not as due diligent in skincare (outside of sunscreen and a daily moisturizer) as I probably should be but I like Kiehl's stuff. They have an under eye cream I use some days when I don't get a lot of sleep. I have most of their stuff and find it's fairly successful.
Re: the facial, I need to look in to that too. I think I might be missing out.
Facials, I'd recommend at least trying even it is just once a quarter. She cleans me out a bit as well as provides some uber moisturizing when I go. Helps to reset every once in a while.
Thanks for the tip @hornsup84 I'll have to do some searching around here to see where I go and get one. On a slightly different topic, for my birthday a few years ago I treated myself to a professional straight edge/shave. That was amazing.
I just started a face care regimen in the last 6 months. I'm late to the game but better late then never, right? It has evolved into quite a long list of products but I have noticed some improvement.
I did as much research online as I could (most of it is really just advertising) and saw mention of Brickell Men's products. Like hornsup84 mentioned it is really a lot of marketing hype. The use of dark bottles and black labels etc to make it appeal to a male audience. the nice thing is for $10 you can get a nice custom sample box where you can try out the eye cream among other products they offer. They offer a lot of unscented versions which is nice if you are sensitive to fragrance.
Anyway I use their eye cream. It runs about $40 for a 0.5 oz container. As they say, a little goes a long way. I use it 1-2 times a day and that little jar lasts about 4 months. I like its consistency and the ingredient list. I have very sensitive skin and I like that the product does not contain retinol or any variety of it. That probably makes it less effective because that is the one ingredient found to truly work.

Praise for "Women of the Old Testament"
Camille Fronk Olsen was the professor I took a course on "Women in the Scriptures" from at BYU. The semester I was in her class she was just starting her research for a book on women in the scriptures. She recruited us, her students, to help her do research on different women. I chose to research Deborah. It was an incredible assignment and is what really lit my passion for women in the scriptures. Without that class I probably wouldn't be writing this blog.
So imagine my excitement when I saw that her book "Women of the Old Testament" has just been published by Deseret Book! Not to mention my glee when I saw that my name is in the acknowledgments as one of the students who helped with her research. Seeing your name in print is always a bit exhilarating.
I know I am biased but I think this book is wonderful. It has in-depth insights, facts, maps and time lines for about 20 women from the Old Testament. Even though it is written by an LDS author and has some LDS perspectives I think that it would be a great book for anyone, of any religion, who wants to know more about the lives and the history of the women in the Old Testament. It would make a great companion book for personal scripture study or for use in a Sunday school class. From what I've heard I think she is planning on publishing a book on women in the New Testament, the Book of Mormon, and LDS Church History, to go along with what the LDS curriculum for Sunday school is each year. Hopefully this means that more and more classes will be including examples from these incredible women.
The book also has beautiful pictures of women from the scriptures painted by Elspeth Young. I've used several of Young's paintings for women featured on this blog and I can't praise her work enough. I love it that she paints women who are rarely, if never, painted. Women like the little maid, Hannah, the daughters of Zelophehad, Huldah, Eunice, Abigail and Anna. Deseret Book is also selling a companion calender to the book that has many of the paintings from the book.
These would be great Christmas gifts... hint, hint to my hubby...
And don't forget to read the chapter on Deborah, it is my favorite ;)

My boyfriend is not a member of the church, but his family is very active in their religion and are avid readers of the bible. I am always looking for ways to introduce the gospel and share my beliefs. I was wondering what to get them for Christmas and I think this book would be perfect for his Mom and sister and would let me share my feelings about the gospel and women! Thanks for the post!ReplyDelete
You know Heather...You amaze me. I love reading your blogs. The insight you have in the gospel from different viewpoints is impressive and intimidating to me. I love getting the "lift" from reading a post on your blogs, especially this one.ReplyDelete
I took that class too! How fun it was to hear from a gal at church that my name was in the acknowledgements! Please don't forget to list my Priscilla in your women of the New Testament!ReplyDelete

Putting words in action, the whole event will be entirely power from the solar panels on Solar One's roof, and all waste from the event will be recycled.

I love the flavors and colors of vegetables in the Summer! Just seeing all the fresh and brightly-colored vegetables at the farmer's market makes me want to create beautiful recipes. Roasting red peppers with the sweet cherry tomatoes, brings out their creaminess and flavor in a different way than just sautéing them. It becomes a colorful painting on the plate, and even more memorable when you've taken your first bite. This dish is so easy and so sweet and delicious, I know you will be making it all Summer long, and it's even vegan. The recipe uses store bought fettuccine pasta, but if you feel adventurous and have enough time – don't worry, it won't be so time consuming – then you can even try to make fresh pasta using a pasta maker.
Fettuccine with Roasted Bell Peppers and Cherry Tomatoes
- 4 bell peppers 2red, 1yellow, 1orange cleaned and halved.
- 4 cloves garlic medium cloves minced
- 1 cup small grape or cherry tomatoes halved
- 1/2 cup vegetable stock
- 1/2 cup Italian parsley fresh and chopped
- 2-1/2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil plus 2 tablespoons cup for roasting
- 3 teaspoons salt
- Pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes crushed
- 12 oz. dried fettuccine
- 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano freshly grated
- With a kitchen knife halve the bell peppers.
- In a large shallow baking pan, put the the tomatoes and the halved bell pepper skin side up, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, add 1 teaspoon of salt and some freshly ground pepper to taste.
- Transfer to the oven and roast them for 30 minutes or until the skin chars just a little and start to peel off.
- Transfer on a large dish and let them cool down.
- Collect the oil from the baking pan and mix it with the 2 1/2 tablespoons unused. ( now you have 4 1/2 tablespoons of flavored olive oil)
- When cool, peel the skin off and julienne them.
- Collect all the tomatoes and set aside. (You don't need to peel the tomatoes).
- Heat the mixed olive oils In a 12-inch skillet.
- Add the minced garlic and saute´ for 1 minute or less, do not burn it!
- Add the bell peppers and tomatoes and stir to incorporate.
- Add salt and pepper, the chili flakes and the vegetable stock, bring to a simmer cover and reduce the heat to medium low.
- Cook for 10 minutes or until the liquid reduces to half.
- Turn off the heat and add the parsley.
For the pasta
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the Fettucine and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente. (check the cooking time on the pasta box)
- Drain and transfer immediately to the skillet with the sauce, toss vigorously with tongs to coat and add the rest of the Parmigiano-Reggiano.
- Serve on warm plates.
Other Italian pasta recipes:
- Spaccatelle pasta with tuna, artichokes and olives
- Strozzapreti pasta with squid and tomato sauce
- Penne Campagnola

Russians don't smile much, but that doesn't mean they don't like yougartstma
Excerpt from Washington Post Article June 2018:
In the lead-up to the World Cup, articles appeared noting that Russian workers were being taught how to properly smile at the foreign soccer fans who would soon be visiting their country.
One of us – Masha – is a Russian immigrant. She'll be quick to tell you that in Russia, randomly smiling at strangers in public is often viewed as a sign of mental illness or inferior intellect.
Of course, in the U.S. and many other countries, smiling is a common, reflexive gesture of goodwill.
There is, indeed, truth to the "smiling gap": In our psychology research, we've noticed a striking difference in how often people smile in the United States when compared to Russia. To Americans, it might be easy to assume that this says something about Russians – that they're an unfriendly, callous people.
But that's not the case at all. Instead, it's worth looking at why certain expressions, like smiling, become a key part of social exchanges in some cultures and not others.
As far as we can tell, there are two likely explanations for the smiling gap: how people in different cultures communicate with one another and cross-cultural differences in personality or temperament.

|Slot Type:
|Video Slot
|Bonus Rounds Feature:
Cleopatra is a classic 5 reel, 20-pay-line video slot game, created by IGT – one of the world's largest and most reputable providers of online casino games.
As the name suggests, the video slot is based on the popular last Pharaoh of Egypt, Cleopatra, and carries a strong Egyptian theme throughout.
As a player, it's your job to try to uncover the ancient riches, and the symbol you'll want to keep a close eye on is the Sphinx. If you manage to land 3, 4, or 5 of these Sphinx symbols across the centre reels, you'll enter the Cleopatra bonus, which is generally regarded as one of the most profitable and rewarding in the industry.
Game Features
The Cleopatra bonus, as mentioned, is triggered when you land 3 or more of the bonus symbols, and when you enter the bonus, you'll be awarded 15 free spins. During the free spins, all of your wins will be subjected to a 3X multiplier, meaning that a €5 win would transform into a €15 win.
This allows you to make up large feature wins, and enables you to win hundreds of times your stake.
Plus, during the free spins round, it's possible to win more free spins, simply by landing 3 or more Sphinx symbols on the reels during the bonus gameplay. It's possible to win up to 180 free spins during this feature, ensuring vast wins are only a bonus away!
Mobile Version
Cleopatra is one of the most popular video slots created by IGT, and due to its large popularity, they've now made it available for players to enjoy from a mobile phone or tablet. In order to play Cleopatra whilst on the go, all you need is a sturdy and reliable Internet connection, as well as a fairly modern mobile phone or tablet.
You will likely be prompted to turn your phone or tablet into landscape mode to begin playing, but IGT has made sure that you can access all of the slot functions and settings while playing. This helps to reduce lag and allows you to customise your gaming experience to one that suits you.
Click the game above to check out the Cleopatra slot for yourself, and see why thousands of players around the world choose to play it every single day.
Pros: HUGE wins available make this a must-play for ANY player.
Cons: The overall design of the game appears a little dated.

Dog-Friendly Port Townsend
Good places to bring your dog are the Larry Scott Trail, North Beach County Park (low tide is the best time) and Fort Worden. There is an informal, fenced off-leash dog park on Jackson St. north of Chetzemoka City Park near the old Golden Age building.
Many local businesses have treats for dogs and even some residences have a water dish and treats in a closed bin with treats for all the dogs taking their owners for a walk! In-town dog walking must be on leash and PLEASE always pick up your dog's poop, we hate finding it in our yards or on sidewalks!
Deer are all over town and a loose dog may be harmed or cause the deer to spook, so control your pet at all times. Dogs are REQUIRED to be licensed in both Jefferson County and the City of Port Townsend. (Contact the Humane Society of Jefferson County or 360-385-3292).
Check out the local City Parks and County Parks sections for further park info. For all WA State Parks including Fort Worden and Fort Townsend the following rules apply:
- Pets are allowed in most state parks but must be under physical control at all times on a leash no more than eight feet long.
- Owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets.
- Pets are not permitted on designated swimming beaches.
On the Port Townsend-Keystone ferry run, as with all WA State Ferries, pets should stay in your car, or on a leash on the car deck if you are a walk-on passenger. Otherwise, they must be kept in pet carriers. On some ferries, it is possible to take your animal to outside upper decks, but they may not be in the cabin at any time. This, of course, does not apply to a person who has an official service animal. These special animals may accompany their owners into the cabin. All pets should have rabies shots. If in doubt, ask at the tollbooth as you pay your fare.
No restaurants allow dogs in their dining areas, because in WA there is some law prohibiting animals except for sevice or guide dogs. (A few tips about Assistance Dog Etiquette).
Olympic Mountain Pet Pals is a nonprofit organization serving animals and their families in Jefferson County, Washington. They are an all-volunteer organization dedicated to better lives for companion animals. Programs are supported by donations, grants, and fundraising events and more than 95 percent of funds go directly toward helping animals.
