Grow your business. Live the future.
Your goal is simple: take your big idea to market.
But do you ever feel overwhelmed with the idea of putting your ideas, your aesthetics, even a career's worth of expertise into a product or service offering? For many, it can be paralyzing.
Couple that with the images of content marketers, startup founders, and idea people crushing it with big launches, fancy websites, and [potentially] crazy price tags; it only makes it worse. You want to do your ideas justice. You want to pay your bills. And, if you're anything like me, you feel your competitive spirit starting to morph from helpful to harmful.
The good news is that big ideas don't start big. They start small. Their creators tap into the essence of the idea—the very reason people need it to begin with—and create the minimum.
Businesses you know and love started this way. Think Facebook, Dropbox, Google, DailyWorth, Mailchimp … the list could go on and on.
Yet, time and again, we try to do better and go big right out of the gate.
During my last CreativeLive workshop, I introduced the idea of the Living Room Strategy. In other words, you don't need to fill a stadium full of customers with your new idea for it to be a success, for it to impact all the right people. You can start by filling a Living Room.
Even better, filling a Living Room first can give you the experience, feedback, and stories you need to fill that stadium when you're ready. The Living Room Strategy is the process by which you make the first set of invitations to your idea, host your intimate dinner party of an idea, and then gather feedback on how to make it better next time.
After my CreativeLive workshop, Gloria Roheim McRae put the idea to the test. Gloria had a decade-long global career but left her last position in 2010 to launch her entrepreneurial journey in digital strategy. In 2013, she and her husband merged their businesses to become Wedge15 Inc. and enjoyed great success. They've served hundreds of clients individually, self-published a best-selling book, and been featured throughout the media.
But they still faced familiar dilemmas when it came to taking their ideas to scale:
Inspired by what she saw on CreativeLive and with fellow Living Room Strategy user Marie Poulin, Gloria constructed a plan. She says, "we created a landing page, a wait list and mentioned we would launch in October 2014. Our intention was to sell out the BETA program at half price to help us pilot the full priced program with customer feedback and reviews in 2015." She acted fast and with focus. Gloria and her husband Ricardo honed in on what values would shape the program ("intimate and interactive") and decided to do things very differently than they'd done them in the past.
Here's a sample of what they did:
In the end, Wedge15 had a $7200 Beta launch that sold out their Branding School program. They were able to welcome a small group of the perfect customers into their "living room" for an intimate and interactive experience of great material, tailor made for them.
Maybe this example applies directly to you in your business right now. Or maybe you're considering a new service offering and wondering how you can get the first 5 clients to try it out before you unleash the offer to all of your prospects. Or maybe you're thinking about a new collection of home goods for your textile business and wondering how you can ensure the first 10 wholesale orders to recoup the initial expense of production.
The same concepts apply. Start small with the very essence of the idea and the core values that influence how you want to deliver it. Know who you want to invite to purchase, who you want to create for. Devise a way for those people to find out about the offer—personal invitations work great—and then create a way for them to RSVP with a yes.
She says that without this approach, "I would have let the process defeat me and delayed launching again until things 'felt perfect.'" Instead, Gloria's customers are enjoying the benefit of her knowledge, experience, and brilliant ideas. And now Gloria is primed for a much bigger launch the next time around—if she wants to make it bigger.
Have you been letting the process defeat you? Have you delayed taking your idea to market because of a fear of everything you have to do to "crush it?"
Well, I'd like to invite you into my own living room.
On November 14, I'll help you create your plan for going from idea to impact in no time flat. You'll learn how I've used this strategy to turn little ideas into big money-makers—and lead my clients to do the same.

After a dominant 2011 season, Mercilus is one of the most intriguing defensive players on the board. He is considered one of the most dangerous players on the board for the very same reason.
From espn.go.com (share this quote)
San Diego general manager A.J. Smith bluntly ended speculation about linebacker Takeo Spikes' future with the Chargers, telling U-T San Diego on Saturday that the defensive captain will be with the team in 2012 for his second season with the 'Bolts and his 15th season overall in the NFL.
From www.nfl.com (share this quote)
Chargers general manager A.J. Smith has put his desire to retain Vincent Jackson out in the open. The team's star receiver will be an unrestricted free agent next month — and with the Chargers highly unlikely to apply the franchise tag in this instance, Jackson will hit the open market.

As the San Diego Chargers prepare to potentially overhaul their roster, many have speculated that veteran linebacker Takeo Spikes will be one of several current members of the team to be jettisoned.

Head Gear: How to Rock the Hipster Headband Trend
There's no denying that the headband (the kind that wraps around, not over, the head) is a major trend. The question: Is it one we can get behind, or is it destined to go the way of the banana clip and crimping iron? For every too-cool-for-school bohemian goddess looking like the secret love child of Jimi Hendrix and Pocahontas, there's a fashion victim looking like she just Irish step-danced out of Michael Flatley's dressing room. This is a look that demands confidence, a certain indie swagger and an inner voice telling you when to lay off the feathers. Up for the challenge? Sure? Just adhere to these Dos and Don'ts to keep yourself out of the fashion police lineup.
Click here for the essential Dos and Don'ts.
DO Feel free to experiment Trends wouldn't be trends without an element of danger (in this case, fashion suicide). This look may not be for everyone, but you'll never really know for sure unless you try it, right?
DON'T Kid yourself If you rarely venture out of the Gap, prefer penny loafers to pumps and have been known to throw a tennis sweater over your shoulders, perhaps trying to pass yourself off as a "Summer of Love" refugee won't work. Find a headband that works with your personal style, and, if you can't, don't try to force it.
DO Get a trusted second opinion Bring a gal pal (read: not frenemy) to the store to help you rate the look. This person will be your fall guy should your headband not go over too well with the general public.

DON'T Do the baby's first photo shoot Oh sure, giant blooms and frilly bows are adorable. That's why parents slap them liberally on their infant daughters' foreheads -- well that, and gender identification. Proceed with caution if you have a crazy need to be taken seriously.
DO Jazz up a special-occasion look Just as wearing a ginormous hat is kosher so long as you're swigging back mint juleps at the Kentucky Derby, so is wearing a more dramatic headband for a big party, New Year's Eve, wedding, or other special event. Try out feathers for a taste of flapper girl fun, or road test one of Ban.do's elaborate get-ups.
DON'T Be shy Listen, confidence is the glue holding this look together. Fidgeting or taking your headband on and off are sure signals that you don't think you can pull off the look. And if you're not convinced, how is anyone else supposed to be?
DO Play with your jewelry We hear Nicole Richie turns vintage chain necklaces into glitzy crowns. The trick to this is finding a necklace with the right length, but the glam potentials are irresistible.
DON'T Be afraid to go simple Still feeling a little gun-shy? There's no harm in trying a simple braided leather or suede band in brown or black.
DO Cut the cord A long hanging tassel in the back of your band looks like a rat tail. Instead, look for headbands that don't have any extra material hanging down.
DON'T Go too tight No, your head's not too big. It's the band that's too small! If you feel like your head is stuck in a vice, pop an aspirin and take the darn thing off. There's no sense leaving tell-tale band marks branded onto your poor forehead, so look for a style with some elasticity, and don't wear it any longer than you have to.
Tell us: Are you wild about the headband trend, or do you think it's just weird?

Everything comes back around. My sisters and I wore headbands back in the early 70s. We've been very amused over the past few years at seeing fashion trends reflect earlier fads; such as, tie dyed shirts (we dyed our own), bell bottoms, gauze shirts and skirts, embroidered jeans, and much more. BTW, some of the retro 60 looks were unattractive in the 60s and haven't improved over time. lol
To be fair, when I was in HS (mid to late 70s), a trend appeared of shorts with a tie and buckle in the back. My mom laughed over that look because she said she wore the same style when she was in school back in the 50s.

If designer would come up with something new and fashionable that regular people could wear, there might not be such a loss for the department stores. I am in my early 60's(as is most people now) and I'm not obest. I wouldn't buy anything out there if I had money to spend. Please try and put something out that is not 60'- 70's- 80's etc. It wasn't good the first time around.

Oh give me a break. There is nothing "new" about this "headband trend." From the early Greeks, to the empire period of the early 1800's to 1920's Flappers to the mid-to-late 1960's .... the "across-the-forehead band" has been a female ( and male ) fashion accessory. Big Deal. Everything old is new again.

My high school daughter (senior) has been doing this for at least a year and a half. She always chooses the right occasion.. it has to be something fun and a little special, and she is great at finding just the right way to wear it. I would have never had the guts, but she always seems a few steps ahead of the trends... She even was creating her own skinny jeans by sewing them tighter on the legs almost 2 years before you could buy them like that. Where she got her fashion genius is beyond me... I'm a low maintenance mom... always have been, always will be, but I'm proud of her.

headbands have been around for HUNDREDS of DECADES people! just in our lifetime you've got flappers from the 1920s, hippies from the 1960s and 1970s, I was wearing them during my "new wave" stage back in the 1980s. trends come and go but time will never tell?

Love the headbands or anything 60's. I was a teen then and consider the 60's a magical time. I do not look my age today and would wear the headband again if I chose to. I wear my tie dye all the time (authentic tie dye I might add that I used to make and sell at street faires). I always get compliments on it and people wanting to buy it. I don't wear anything other than bell jeans either unless it is batik pants or long gauze skirts. No one has ever told me what to wear and no one ever will. I always tell my friends I'll be 80 one day and still wearing my tie dye tank tops. And I will if I still look good.

Hi Nancy, I like AVG from www.grisoft.com. Release 6 is free or you might prefer (as I do) release 7. AVG7 has
greater functionality than 6. I use it at a PC shop to clean machines which have had their anti-virus software
compromised by malware. I've found it to be far less demanding on system resources than Norton, McAfee or most of the
other anti-virus bundles. This makes it ideal for lower powered machines but it is certainly no light weight when it
comes to anti-virus protection.
Of course, if a machine becomes infected, there may be no alternative than to employ a removal tool specially designed
for the particular infestation, such as is the case with Netsky.
But I, too, will be interested to hear what other subscibers to this list recommend.

Scripts: Elegant Lettering from Design's Golden Age
"No one person ever invented an alphabet," wrote Type-maven Tommy Thompson. Script typefaces were no exception. During the letterpress era they were in such great demand that many people "invented" them, and many others copied them. In some commercial printing shops, composing cases filled with scripts were stacked floor to ceiling to the exclusion of other type. Printers routinely amassed multiple styles of the heavy metal type fonts, each possessing a distinct twist, flourish or quirk, used to inject the hint of personality or dash of character to quotidian printed pieces. Fonts had names like Wedding Plate Script, Cursive Script, Engravers Script, Bank Script, Master Script, French Script, Stationers Semiscript and Myrtle Script — Myrtle? — there were countless others. They surfaced in Europe and America. And the exact same types in France, for example, could be found in Italian foundries with different names.
Scripts signaled propriety, suggested authority yet also exuded status and a bourgeois aesthetic. The wealthy classes couldn't get enough fashionable scripts in their diet. Likewise, the nouveau riche embraced them too — maybe it helped them to appear even more wealthy.
Seen in everything from wedding invitations and birth announcements to IOUs, menus, and diplomas, script typefaces impart elegance and sophistication to a broad variety of texts. Scripts never go out of style, and the hundreds of inventive examples here are sure to inspire today's designers. Derived from handwriting, these are typefaces that are stylized to suggest, imply, or symbolize certain traits linked to writing. Their fundamental characteristic is that all the letters, more or less, touch those before and after. Drawn from the Golden Age of scripts, from the nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century, this is the first compilation of popular, rare, and forgotten scripts from the United States, Germany, France, England, and Italy. Featuring examples from a vast spectrum of sources—advertisements, street signs, type-specimen books, and personal letters—this book is a delightful and invaluable trove of longoverlooked material. 275 illustrations, 254 in color

A credit memo is an invioce that reduces the amount due to a customer's invioce. This usually occurs becuase the customer has returned some of the goods (goods returned ) the adjustments carried out here affects the original invioce.A debit memo is a reuest from customer for the reduction of the amount stated on his or her invoice.

Cancer Health Center
Michael Douglas and Throat Cancer FAQ
What is the treatment for throat cancer? What are the side effects? continued...
The other option for late stage oropharyngeal cancer is radiation and chemotherapy, which Douglas began three weeks ago. Surgery would be necessary only if this treatment fails.
While avoiding surgery, the side effects of radiation and chemotherapy are severe.
"The first few weeks are no big problem, but then patients often have significant difficulty with swallowing," Har-El says. "In most cancer centers -- and we certainly do it with advanced base-of-the-tongue tumors -- they insert a feeding tube right into the stomach through the belly. Mostly we try to do it ahead of time, before problems start, because if you do it later you have to interrupt treatment."
Another serious problem is that the radiation can burn the mouth and throat, sometimes raising blisters. And patients usually suffer severe fatigue during treatment.
Although the burns, fatigue, and swallowing problem usually go away after therapy, patients may have another problem for the rest of their lives: dryness of the mouth and throat.
"Radiation kills the tumor, but it also kills the salivary glands in the throat," Har-El says. "That is why, if you go into our waiting room, everybody is carrying a bottle of water all the time."

Boeing Delivers BBJ; Marks Anniversary
Boeing recently marked the 15th anniversary of its Boeing Business Jets division with delivery of a BBJ to Deer Jet Airlines of Beijing, the third of four BBJs ordered by Deer Jet for use in charter and corporate transport.
Deer Jet representatives, along with current and former Boeing Business Jets employees, were on hand for the delivery and anniversary celebration July 15 at Boeing's Seattle facility.
Boeing and General Electric launched the Boeing Business Jets joint venture in July 1996 with the original BBJ–a hybrid of the 737-700 airliner with the wing of the bigger 737-800–modified for executive and private applications. Boeing Business Jets' president at the time, the late Borge Boeskov, predicted there was a market for perhaps as many as 40 BBJs over the following decade. Since then, the company has taken orders for 154, including BBJ2s, BBJ3s and the BBJ C, and has delivered 138.
According to current Boeing Business Jets president Steve Taylor, the company is now building on the brand with executive versions of the new and soon-to-be-certified 787 and 747-8 Intercontinental.
Since its birth in 1996, Boeing Business Jets has taken orders for executive models from the entire Boeing line for 206 aircraft and delivered 168. The orders include twelve 787s and nine 747-8s.

and vitamin B6 either increased or did not change significantly, depending on age and sex. The nutrient intakes of girls did not appear to differ appreciably between 6- to 11-year-olds and 12- to 19-year-olds, except for 8 percent lower riboflavin and 10 percent lower calcium intakes in adolescents despite a higher calorie intake. Vitamin and mineral intakes for adolescent boys were higher than for the younger boys, and were most likely related to the overall higher calorie intake of older boys. Iron intakes in younger children (ages 2–5 years) increased between 1977–1978 and 1994–1996 and 1998 from 9.9 mg to 12.3 mg (Kranz et al., 2004).
Sodium intake data from the NHANES series reveal an increase in mean intake among all age groups of children and adolescents between 1971–1974 and 1999–2000 (Briefel and Johnson, 2004; Appendix D, Table D-8). For example, sodium intake in older adolescent boys (ages 16–19 years) increased 34 percent between 1971–1977 and 1999–2000 from 3,219 mg to 4,415 mg. Mean intakes increased 32–36 percent for children (ages 3–11 years) and younger adolescent boys (ages 12–15 years) and 45–68 percent for adolescent girls (ages 12–19 years). Assessment of sodium intakes and trends is difficult because sources include salt added in cooking, salt added at the table, and processed foods, and there are uncertainties associated with the exact sodium content of each source. Nonetheless increased consumption of processed foods and a greater frequency of eating away from home have contributed to the increased sodium intakes observed over the past three decades.
Usual nutrient intakes of U.S. children and adolescents (ages 1–18 years) from the dietary interview component of the NHANES 2001–2002 have been compared to the DRIs (Moshfegh et al., 2005). In general, less than 4 percent of 1- to 8-year-old children had nutrient intakes less than the EAR. Nutrients identified as potential problems in comparison with the EAR for boys and girls ages 9–18 years include vitamin A (13 percent to 55 percent),11 vitamin E (80 percent to >97 percent), vitamin C (8 percent to 42 percent), and magnesium (14 percent to 91 percent). Adolescent girls were at highest risk for having nutrient intakes below the EAR, especially for folate (19 percent), phosphorus (49 percent),12 vitamin B6 (16 percent), zinc (26 percent), and copper (16 percent).

Buy multiple copies of your local Sunday newspapers. Yep, that's newspapers, plural. Readers in areas served by more than one paper will sometimes find different coupon and advertising inserts in different papers.
Ask friends, neighbors and co-workers to give you any coupon inserts they aren't using. Or, if all your friends are couponers, too, organize a coupon swap at work, the neighborhood community center or even local libraries, where you can exchange coupons you won't use for ones you will. If you have pets, but no babies, bring in all those diaper coupons and swap them for pet food and treat coupons.
Know a store's coupon policy before you go in. Most are available on store websites. Keep a copy of that policy in your binder, in case sales clerks are not familiar with it. But be aware that the policies change frequently, so make sure you have the most up-to-date information.
Be organized. You can arrange your coupons in a number of ways, such as by expiration date or product category. Cutts keeps a zippered three-ring binder filled with baseball-card-holder inserts. She also keeps an accordion file with the unclipped coupons, in case she sees an ad for a great deal on a product in a previous week's insert that she happened to have missed.
Think about using some of your savings for giving. If there's a deal that will mean you pay only cents for an item or, better yet, can get it free, buy it and donate it to an area homeless shelter, pet shelter or food bank.

Truman Cafe
As far as eggswithsides is concerned, a Melbourne brunching venue couldn't come from better pedigree than our perennial fave, St Kilda's The Galleon. So upon spotting some familiar faces from the 'Gall on our first visit to Truman in Albert Park, our expectations and appetites skyrocketed.
Positioned on the thoroughfare of Kerferd Road, the endless stream of cars whizzing past makes for a slightly flustered outdoor dining experience and one best indulged in only if you have a canine sidekick out for breakfast with you. But once indoors, Truman holds a pleasant charm.
There's a huge menu, with well-conceived breakfast choices including chipotle baked beans, rosemary roasted mushrooms and a haloumi brekky featuring a pumpkin, leek and sesame-seed smash. The standard sweet option of french toast is livened up by honeycomb and candied pistachios to accompany it. We tried the corn fritters and the "truman brekkie" of scrambled eggs, hash, relish and avo. Both were great meals and good value portion sizes. The coffee was spot-on, and whilst not the most intimate place, Truman has a lovely vibe. We'll be back.

Canada denies Randy Quaid's request to stayPhilippine Daily Inquirer
TORONTO — Canadian immigration officials have denied US actor Randy Quaid's request for permanent resident status in Canada.
A Canadian government official confirmed late Saturday his request for permanent status has been denied. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. Quaid can appeal the decision to the federal court.
US officials last year refused to seek extradition of the actor and his wife from Canada to face felony vandalism charges in Santa Barbara, California, but authorities in the coastal town say they'll still have the couple arrested if they return to the states.
Quaid has sought to stay in Canada, claiming he was being hunted by "Hollywood star-whackers" who had killed his friends David Carradine and Heath Ledger.
Quaid's trouble began in 2010 when he and his wife were arrested for causing more than $5,000 damage at a hillside home they were renting.
Randy Quaid is the older brother of actor Dennis Quaid and is best-known for his roles in films such as "National Lampoon's Vacation" and "Independence Day." He won a Golden Globe award for his depiction of President Lyndon Johnson in a TV movie in the late 1980s.

You can still eat the way you do in eating fruits and vegetables. It won't make you fat but will make you healthy. It's the cheapest way of losing some fats.
I am 15, 5'2 I weigh 160-170 pounds, I am super unhappy about my weight, I where big tee shirts and look like a dike. ( that's what they call me) I want to lose weight. Diets don't work, I've tryed to exercise. And I want to do more stuff with my boyfriend but he is skinny, and I'm afraid to let him see me with my shirt off. Please help me. Also I don't have any money to spend on any diet stuff, or anything elese, please help me
You can still eat the way you do in eating fruits and vegetables. It won't make you fat but will make you healthy. It's the cheapest way of losing some fats.
the best way to start to lose weight is by cutting things out in your diet. dont drink pop or drinks high in cals, drink water instead. you will lose weight from just doing this. then try to knock out junk food, its hard at first but later on you wont even want to think about it. there is no doubt that your going to have to exerise, but it may be easier then you think. try walking, biking and if you dont want to go outside(i know how it was in school being called names, i got it everywhere i was) there are workouts dvds. which i think are better bc you are forcing yourself to finish what you started and you feel better atferwards. i got 3 great dvds for like 40 dollars, there jillian michelas, she is one of the trainers on the biggest loser, you will lose weight and gain muscle with this stuff. remember this wont happen over night, and you dont want it to. if you lose 1-3 pounds a week that is safe weightloss and you have a better chance of keeping it off. i have been on my diet and exerise progam sicne march and lost 38 pounds. of crose i wish i lost more, but its a good weight loss. have any more questions just let me know, and i hoped this helped. good luck starting your weight loss
I do think the best thing to do!Is ask your mom to make appointment with your peditrician or family doctor for you for a check up&talk to them&ask them to give you an easy diet to fallow that they will give you a food plan of what food that you should eat&food to avoid!&the best exercise is walking7that can help you to drop a few pound's+drink alot of water&stay away from diet soda that has alot of salt!
HeyBabyI LoveYou!The best thing you can do to drop a few pound's is to improve your eating habbit's like stay away from junk food& stay away from soda especially diet soda that's full of salt!&drink alot of water that can help you to lose weight+walking can help you to drop a few pound's!&Go make apointment with your family doctor who's alway's there to help you!& they can put you on a weight lost plan that you can fallow&write a dieary to write down what you eat &keep track of what you have for breakfast&lunch&dinner &also drink low fat milk when you have a bowl of cereal use low fat milk!& when you buy your lunch at school yogurt or a salad is the best thing to have along with a bottle water plain or flavored water!&Also you can drop a few pound's in your gym class!
I think you are not having a good diet program.
Consult any doctor for it.

Success for NVL in postseason hoops…continues
Let us be honest — I did not believe that this has been the greatest season for NVL boys basketball on record, and of course, I was wrong.
Not that we lacked good teams. On the contrary, the league was loaded with good teams. I did not see a great team out there, however, and in some ways we always judge the league by how far it goes in the postseason.
That question is still open for discussion, but at present, the Valley is doing just fine.
I have never been one of those louts who flaunts the merits of one scholastic sports conference over another. I hear that nonsense all the time of course, and usually, it is from some rube who loves to shout, "Our conference is better than your conference." For full dramatic effect, say that line using a high-pitched nasal twine.
No, the NVL is not the greatest sports conference on the planet, nor is it the worst. It is the most perfect, however. I'm prejudiced. Sue me.
Monday, the Ansonia boys basketball team knocked off North Branford from the Shoreline Conference, Kennedy defeated Lyman Hall from the SCC, and in the most stunning victory off all, Wilby, a team that did not qualify for the NVL postseason tourney, defeated the SCC champion, North Haven.
And now the Eagles have rolled right into the Class L quarters after taking down highly-touted E.O. Smith.
Bring on Wilbur Cross.
Did you read that properly? Wilby beat the SCC champion in a Class L first-round game.
Let's follow that up with the events from Tuesday. Sacred Heart, Holy Cross, and Crosby all defeated teams from the vaunted SCC and FCIAC, and I do not use the word "vaunted" in a derisive manner. FCIAC schools are superb in virtually all sports. When you see an FCIAC school in your tournament path you freak out, and rightfully so. It does not matter what the won-lost record is for an FCAIC school, those teams play the toughest schedule around, period. Many might say the same for the SCC.
Having imparted all of that praise, let us now note that on Tuesday, Sacred Heart knocked off Fairfield Prep of the SCC, and Holy Cross defeated Brien McMahon while Crosby topped Stamford, both of the FCIAC.
No, none of those three teams finished at the top of the standings in their respective divisions, but, as we all know, it doesn't usually matter. They are always good.
Another note: Torrington knocked off Southington of the CCC, Seymour defeated Waterford of the ECC, and St. Paul topped Westbrook of the Shoreline. Watertown and Woodland Regional lost, but, all in all I'd say the NVL did some damage in round one.
I'm saying it not to brag, just because it needs to be said.
Please, lunkheads of the world, leave the NVL alone. Go ahead and brag all you want about your conferences, but from now on, leave us out of the conversation.
The NVL has never claimed to be better than anyone else in anything. We're just happy being a perfect conference for our member schools. As we've said countless times, we have city and suburban schools, public and private schools, and remarkable ethnic and economic diversity.
Sometimes we win. Sometimes we lose. However, we have never defined the league simply by the results of an athletic contest. Unfortunately, most sports observers use that, and that alone, as the yardstick for success.
The NVL again goes out later today to test itself against the best basketball teams in the state. I'd say we have already passed every test in the book.
3 Responses to "Success for NVL in postseason hoops…continues"
Very well said! I have a child that plays two varsity sports in the NVL and all I can say is that while we may have our "rivalry" games, last years Championship games said it all! When a team from the NVL took the court EVERYONE cheered! It didnt matter if your went to see Sacred Heart, Crosby, or Torrington once you were there, you represented the NVL not the school! We may not be perfect, we may have our tense moments, but as a league we are one! Plus the fact that we had a school in at least 3 of the Championship games last year should speak for itself!
What about the girls teams…?..No mention of the St. Paul High School Girls Basketball team in the article…Too bad, all other NVL girl teams are long gone, but the Falcon girls continue on to the Class M semi finals this Monday after beating Womogo by 14 last night. They are the only team representing the NVL in girls basketball left this year. Not bad for a school with just over 300 students in it., and their first year in the NVL……and the boys team are one of only four NVL teams left in the tournament …c'mon..?
Nothing against the girls – this note was intended to be about the boys because the boys wins were rather stunning, considering the quality teams they played. Try not to find slight were no slight was intended.

In Him Will I Trust
- Thursday, October 24, 2013
Life is often filled with turbulent twists and turns. It seems that if it's not one thing, it's another when it comes to challenges. We often struggle with multiple issues—our children, our job, our friendships, our marriage. In all, we need a place of shelter and protection, and thankfully we have that place with God. "I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him will I trust" (Psalm 91:2). Are you letting Him be your refuge? Pray this Psalm when feeling stressed and notice the peace of God in your heart.

San Antonio Spurs
Remaining games: vs. Memphis, @ Minnesota, @ Dallas, vs. Phoenix (B2B), @ Houston, vs. Lakers
Easy Wins: Memphis, Lakers
Memphis, so far, hasn't really put up any sort of fight against the Spurs, and have yet to beat San Antonio this season. Even though they have been very impressive since Marc Gasol returned, the combination of experience, rest and home court should be enough to put this one in the bag for the Spurs. The Lakers, on the other hand, just suck. And they don't want to win anymore. The Spurs demolished them this season, going 3-0 with double digit wins in each game. It is very unlikely either of these games end up as a loss for the Good Guys.
Toughies: @ Minnesota, @ Dallas
Minnesota may not be in the playoffs this year, but thats not to say they aren't a good team. Due to a loaded West, and an unfortunate record in close games, the Wolves sit in 10th place, despite having a similar talent level to the Bulls/Nets/Raptors tier that owns the 3-5 seeds in the Eastern Conference. Given the distance the Spurs will have to travel, it is easy to see Pop giving some of his players the day off in one of these games, as there is only one day of rest between them. Neither team is an easy matchup, especially away. I wouldn't be surprised if San Antonio dropped both of these games, and if I had to pick, I would say they only win one of them.
Full-on Underdogs: vs. Phoenix, @ Houston
Phoenix have not been an easy opponent this season for the Spurs, despite their 2-1 record against them. San Antonio got blown out in the loss and only won the other two games by tight margins. Phoenix will be fighting to avoid the dreaded ninth (and non-playoff) seed so will be going all out in their remaining games. Add in the fact that this game is the second of a back-to-back and we could see some more players held out, or at least on a minutes limit. Risking an injury to a key player right now for the Spurs is not worth the extra wins at this point.
The Houston game will be the hardest of all of San Antonio's remaining games. The Spurs have yet to beat Houston and the Rockets could have the third seed in their eyes. Separated from the Clippers by only 2 in the loss column, any faltering by L.A. will open a gap that Houston would love to jump into, and therefore make them that much more up for this inter-state rivalry match-up. Take into account the trouble that San Antonio has had controlling Houston's backcourt, and I would probably chalk this one up as a loss for the Spurs. Either way, it will be a thrilling preview of a potential second round match-up.
3-3 record over the rest of the season.

Half of NYC cabs to be wheelchair-accessible by 2020
Congratulations to New York City (NYC) for changing the rules so that by 2020, 50% of yellow cabs will be accessible to people who use wheelchairs. The rule changes by the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission are the first of their kind in the country, and will make NYC's yellow taxi fleet the most accessible in the nation and one of the most disability-friendly in the world. "This is a historic victory affirming the civil rights of New Yorkers with disabilities," said Julia Pinover of Disability Rights Advocates (a nonprofit legal centre), and "a real civil rights victory for all New Yorkers". Wheelchair-user Ronnie Raymond said at the hearing where the changes were announced that reliably accessible transport would change his life. "I would no longer be relegated to staying home or spending hours trying to get somewhere that takes everyone else 20 minutes," said Raymond. Another wheelchair user – Simi Linton – echoed these statements. "Having an accessible taxi fleet is essential to me. My livelihood, my well-being, and the well-being of my family depend on being able to use taxis." Linton is a writer, consultant, and public speaker, and one of the USA's foremost experts on disability and the arts.

Can we talk about how Hairspray is a story where a not-conventionally-attractive girl gets the hot guy in the end without having to Become "Pretty." Because we need more stories like that.
(Bron: rouxx, via mmermaid-milk)
I know everything about you, your secrets, your love, your smile.. everything you could know about a person, I know about you. and it scares me. It scares me that one day it could end, that we would fall out of love and we would have to pass each other without saying a word, while in fact i know everything about you, and no one that i will ever meet will have such an impact on me, like you do.
I think one of the saddest things is when two people really get to know each other: their secrets, their fears, their favourite things, what they love, what they hate, literally everything, and then they go back to being strangers. It's like you have to walk past them and pretend like you never knew them, never even talked to them before, when really, you know everything about them.

9' Fraser Fir LED Tree - Wonderful Tree
Wow! This is one of the most beautiful 'fake' trees I have ever seen. One really has to get close to this tree to see that it isn't real. It was such a nice surprise to open the box and find so many of the lifelike needles. Another great aspect of this tree was that the metal frame was covered to blend in with the tree - no need to spend time trying to hide the frame! The set up was easy; I did it by myself but it would probably be easier with 2 people. And, though I am thoroughly unhandy, I easily figured out the light outlets at each tier. We got the 9' tree and, like all of these trees, it takes some time to do the 'fluffing' of the inner branches to fill the tree out. I like the process, but others may find it annoying. Only con - this tree will not fit back into it's original box. It is best to invest in a well constructed tree bag because this tree is a keeper.

"The confidently evil Maleficent is much more fun to watch, her desire for vengeance feels more than justified, and the humans are almost all either just as slimy as Stephen, or boring non-entities, so why am I supposed to not just root for her to wipe them all out again?"Where the villains of a series become more popular than the good guys. The heroes start to rub the fans the wrong way, and a notable proportion of the fandom now dislikes and actively bashes the main characters. For these fans they can almost become a Hatedom, yet they call themselves fans and continue to read/watch/play the source material because they like the bad guys. Villain Protagonists in particular are very likely to create this sort of reaction, since it forces the audience to empathize with the villainous main character when the entire story is told from their point of view. Having their conflict be against other (sometimes even worse) bad guys rather than heroic antagonists tends to cause either this or Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy. It also often happens in works with a Designated Hero and/or Designated Villain. There's usually a turning point in canon that leads to this, sometimes irrational and sometimes rational: Irrational reasons for this include: fans gaining too much Sympathy for the Devil. The villain getting a subplot that's more interesting than what the main cast is doing. The villains are considered cooler than the heroes. The villain is so incompetent that the fans think they should win just for once. The villains attacked The Scrappy and/or Creator's Pet. The fans want to be on the strongest side, for once. The series runs on White and Grey Morality, and the viewers may tire of having a hero never able to make a tough decision and revels in rooting for someone who does. Rational reasons include: the evilness of the villains being an Informed Attribute, while the "Heroes" repeatedly Kick the Dog and act unpleasant. The villain constantly makes good points. The series uses Grey and Gray Morality or Black and Gray Morality so Rooting For The Empire is an Intended Audience Reaction. Tends to occur when the source material has jumped the shark and started to lose its focus, but sometimes Just for Fun or for reasons of the fans' own. It can also be a response to Writer Revolt or a perceived slight to the fans. Jerkass Dissonance often plays a part. Unlike the Misaimed Fandom, the character roles are working out as they're supposed to, but the audience willingly cheers on the enemy. Hate toward the actor can also be involved in this, when the hated actor is playing a good guy. Common uses:
— Bob Chipman, on Maleficent

"Kinetic Rain" Changi Airport Singapore
In the course of refurbishment works ART+COM was commissioned to create a signature art installation for the Departure-Check-in hall of Terminal 1 at Singapore Airport. "Kinetic Rain" is composed of two parts, each consisting of 608 rain droplets made of lightweight aluminum covered with copper. Suspended from thin steel ropes above the two opposing escalators, each droplet is moved precisely and seemingly floating by a computer-controlled motor hidden in the halls ceiling. The drops follow a 15-minute, computationally designed choreography where the two parts move together in unison, sometimes mirroring, sometimes complementing, and sometimes responding to each other.

The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) established
the Dialogue on Science, Ethics, and Religion (DoSER) in 1995 to facilitate
communication between scientific and religious communities. Objectives of
DoSER are to contribute to scientific understanding in religious communities
and promote multidisciplinary education and scholarship of the ethical and
religious implications of advancements in science and technology. (For more
information on efforts to engage the public in discussions about scientific
progress, see "Science Can't Thrive in Ivory Tower").
"Questions of meaning and religion emerge from our deepening
understanding of the natural order," states the AAAS Web site,
describing the program. "Issues of value and meaning are grounded in the
disciplines of ethics and religion. The scientific community needs to be in
dialogue with both fields in order to understand the cultural context within
which science operates and to respond to the societal issues opened up by
scientific discovery and technological development."
DoSER activities have included conferences and public forums, working
groups, and research seminars. According to the AAAS, these are among the
seminars the program has sponsored:
The DoSER program has developed a number of publications, some of which

How-to, yo: Roast peppers! »
It's been awhile since I posted to my how-to series and I'm back, baby! One of the things I've been intimidated to do over the years is roast my peppers. Now, I know some of you are like, "I started roasting my vegetables right after I turned on an oven for the first time", but one of things I like about this blog is that there is a little something here for everyone, from beginners to the most advanced lifestyle vegans! So let's get this show on the road, because the Super Bowl is coming up and that means SNACKS GALORE! You can add roasted bell peppers to hummus, or even to liven up a marinara sauce. With spicy peppers, you've got chile rellenos or a salsa—done and done! Yeah, I totally snack like it's Super Bowl Sunday every day of the year.
Pepper(s) to roast
Cooking spray or vegetable oil
Preheat oven to 425F*. Wash and dry off whole peppers, leaving stems intact. Grease a baking dish, or cookie sheet (one preferably with edges that come up) add peppers, and lightly coat with spray or oil. Stick them in the oven, and wait for them to char! Seriously — this is the part that always makes me think I'm doing the whole roasting thing wrong because I am intentionally burning my food. And then because my fire alarm is ultra sensitive, I always need a pillow handy to wave the smoke away, so you may want to grab one as well.
For me, the roasting process usually takes about 45 - 60 minutes. I check on my peppers a lot, and I turn the peppers in the dish (with tongs or a fork) about every 15 minutes, so that each side gets blackened. Be careful because as the peppers release water, it can spatter with the oil in the oven and onto your arm.
The first 15 minute turnover of my lone red bell pepper.
Once all the sides of your pepper are nicely charred, pull your peppers out of the oven and let them cool. I like to remove them from the baking dish as soon as they come out of the oven and onto a plate, but it's not completely necessary.
Finished and cooling down!
Wait for them to cool down enough to handle, remove skin and stem and seeds. Sometimes people will cover their peppers to allow them to steam, which makes the skins easier to remove. I don't bother. My friend Andrea wears gloves when she deseeds spicy peppers—it is a great tip because if you touch your face or your eyes without scrubbing your hands down, it will be tear inducing.
Cooled, skinned and de-seeded. This bell pepper got minced and went into hearts of palm crab cakes.
Alright, let's do this—I want a chile relleno casserole or enchiladas stuffed with fresh roasted jalapeños for dinner! Please, can you bring it over? THANKS!
*I keep my oven temperature lowish for roasting because my oven gets very smokey and I feel like there is more leeway for me when it comes to the difference between gently charring my peppers and burning them to an unidentifiable crisp. You can definitely go up experiment here and go up to 450, even 475 degrees, just keep a closer eye on your peppers. There are a few different methods out there, including grilling, broiling and roasting peppers over the flame of a gas stove, but for me the baking method has proven tried and true, even if it takes a little bit longer. Plus, isn't the broiler for storing pots and pans? I kid, I kid (nope, I'm not).

How to, yo: Make tofu noodles taste good! »
I am a big fan pasta dishes and marinara sauce. I am not a fan of eating lots of grains, including wheat, because they hurt my stomach. So when it comes to noodles, I often choose tofu-style! I've come up with some tricks to make them extra-super delectable, as they are a little strange right out of the packaging.
First of all, I drain the water and rinse them off. Then, in a pan, I sauté them up with garlic, salt, pepper and a few drizzles of olive or vegetable oil. This helps them firm up a little. Usually I will caramelize an onion too, but if it's already in my sauce, I'll skip that step. If I do sauté up an onion, I do that first, then add the pasta, garlic, seasonings. Once the pasta is in the pan, with or without onion, the cook time is about 10 minutes on medium to medium high heat.
Now what are you gonna make!? Last time I made these noodles, my roommate and I made a sauce by sauteing up chopped tomatoes, zucchini, mushrooms, onion, more garlic, and kale! It was so good! Sometimes I'll use them in my cheesy eggplant bake or to make macaroni and cheese with cashew cheddar sauce (minus the chili pepper).

How to, yo: Mold the best pizza crust! »
I just had a pizza party with my family! And I broke my mom's pizza stone, the night before Mother's Day. I'm a terrible person! I'm not sure the iTunes gift certificate, coconut wax candle and cock blocker I gave her will make up for slamming her stone in the oven and demolishing it. It was an accident! But since she is a great person, she didn't even get mad at me. My mom is the best.
I want to give props to Chef Mitch at Source for giving me the inside scoop on molding pizza crust. I was a pretty good home cook before; however, working side by side with him every day has taught me so much. If you come into Source, tell him you love the hints on Vegansaurus. It might render him speechless, which is no easy feat—that guy loves to talk! But I love listening, so it is a match made in restaurant heaven.
Now, whether it's homemade or store-bought pizza dough you are working with, it is the easiest and best to handle at room temperature, so let your dough sit out for an hour or so. That way when you stretch it, it will stay where you put it. Also, play with the outside edge, which will be the uncovered crust, as little as possible. If you can get away with not touching it at all, that is great: It will make for a wonderful, light, "eggshell" crust that will rise beautifully and impress everyone. Shape and stretch your crust from the inside out. However you do this, DON'T TOUCH THE VERY OUTSIDE PART! That's it. That's all I'm trying to say.
This outside crust here is a little extreme, as in, it's HUGE. But the dough was cold and I had a hard time stretching it. You don't have to go this big, but you know what they say: Go big or go home! The outside crust was so light and fluffy, I felt like a pro. Do you like how I made myself a half-cheese, half-veggie combo? I need options! And remember when some of you were like "Daiya is gross, it tastes like glue"? Well, I really like it. Follow Your Heart soy mozzarella is my numero uno, but Daiya is my mistress! They better not make me choose, because I love them both so much.

How to, yo: Steam tempeh! »
I like tempeh all right. The first time I ever had it, my friend Krystle made TLTs—tempeh, lettuce, and tomato sandwiches with Veganaise. I wasn't vegan yet, but after eating her sandwich, I decided it was time to seriously try. I have often told Krystle her TLT was what finally made it me go vegan. It was a gateway sandwich!
When I have tackled the TLT on my own, I noticed that the tempeh soaks up so much of the oil and soy sauce I sauté it in to make bacon. I decided one night, last year, to try steaming my tempeh first. I had skimmed many a recipe that suggested steaming, and it was time to try it.
Turns out it's easy to do. Seriously, once I started steaming my tempeh first, I began enjoying it so much more. I've heard steaming takes some of the bitterness out, but I've never noticed a bitter bite to begin with. Plus, when steamed, it soaks up less oil when preparing it afterward.
Yes, steaming does add one extra step, but I'm doing it as I write this post! You can steam anything (vegetables, fermented soy), and do other stuff at the same time! Multitasking!
A steam basket
A pot with a lid
Cut up your tempeh into sizes that are desirable for you. Place your steam basket into your pot, and fill pot with water just until it reaches the bottom of the steam basket. Bring water to a boil, place tempeh in steam basket.
To boil the water, I set the stove burner to high, but once the tempeh is in the pot, with the lid on, I turn down the temperature to medium high/medium. Then I let it do its thing for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Lift the cover; your tempeh should be tender and ready for however you like to prepare it!
Once you've steam your tempeh, you can then sautee it or bake it—whatever you usually do. I still like to make myself TLTs, with homemade mayo, of course! I am steaming tempeh today, because I am getting ready to write a battered tempeh taco recipe for you! With a gluten-free version included, of course.
My desire to play around with tempeh was brought on by a recent dinner at Millennium with my roommate, Crystal. We decided to share the Maple-Black Pepper Smoked Tempeh, as neither of us has been the biggest fans of tempeh. We were like, "If we are ever going to have tempeh at its most delectable, it's going to be here." We were not mistaken.

How-to, yo: Make vegan mayonnaise! »
Store-bought mayo is expensive! I mean, it probably won't break the bank, but if I could give you a cheaper alternative, you'd be into it, right? Right! Let's get started! Summer is coming, and we need mass amounts of vegan mayo for all of our potato salads!
1 10 oz. package silken tofu
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. salt
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. rice or white wine vinegar
Juice of half a lemon
Take these ingredients and process until smooth in your pulverizing equipment of choice. I used a food processor, but a blender works too! That's all there is to it—now you have mayo! Get to making your sandwiches, potato salad or tofu "eggless" salads!
This recipe yields about 1.5 cups mayo, and I usually end up doubling it. This should last about five days in the fridge.
Remember when Laura showcased all the upcoming Vegenaise flavors? You can make them at home! Add some pesto, garlic, chipotle sauce, bbq sauce, or horseradish to this basic recipe—your options are endless!
