I'm currently working on a new writing project. All I can say is, it will be a novel. And as much as I hate making a commitment as to when I will be done with it and then disappointing people, I have to make myself accountable. Therefore, I hope I can finish the novel before the end of the year.
The next thing on my list would be the actual incorporation of a company. My friends and I have already finalised the name, the amount of shares, gotten our office address, and endorsed the company. It's now in the final step of making payment for the registration and waiting for approval by the authorities. As for what we will be doing, we've got some ideas but the main one we have right now is to build a software-based platform for consumers.
The final thing would be me trying to manage my time when it comes my full-time job. From what I understand about my new job scope, I suspect, I wouldn't have much time for anything else and it's a scary prospect. However, there are bills to be paid, life to live and food to eat. So it will end up at the centre of my attention most of the time. Unless, well, someone is kind enough to support me financially as I get my company up and running and writing done.
In light of this, I am already considering cancelling my Netflix subscription. I've got another paid-tv subscription which I will terminate once I'm done with Games of Thrones Season 8. This way, I can put a roadblock on my entertainment needs. If I do need rest and entertainment, there's always video games to play and books to read. And those are more beneficial to me than mindlessly watching videos and shows because they do get my brain moving.

Last month the EEOC issued guidance entitled "Employer-Provided Leave and the Americans with Disabilities Act." The EEOC was motivated to issue guidance on this topic due to an increase in disability discrimination charges that include claims that an employer has failed to provide a reasonable accommodation by denying the employee's request for leave.
There are two common scenarios where leave as a reasonable accommodation generally apply: (1) an employee has exhausted his or her FMLA leave entitlement for the year but still needs additional time off before returning to work; or (2) employer policies put a cap on the maximum amount of leave the employer will provide to an employee.
A reasonable accommodation is, generally, "any change in the work environment or in the way things are customarily done that enables an individual with a disability to enjoy equal employment opportunities." 29 C.F.R. §1630.2. The purpose of the EEOC's new guidance in this area is to provide information to employees and employers regarding when and how leave must be granted to reasons related to an employee's disability.
Here are a few significant take-aways from the guidance:
Equal Access to Leave Under an Employer's Leave Policy.
Employees with disabilities must be provided with access to leave on the same basis as all other similarly-situated employees. If an employer receives a request for leave for reasons related to a disability and the leave falls within the employer's existing leave policy, the employer must treat the employee's request the same as request made by a non-disabled employee.
Granting Leave as a Reasonable Accommodation.
An employer must consider providing leave to an employee with a disability as a reasonable accommodation if the employee requires it, and so long as it does not create an undue hardship. This is the case even when the employer does not offer leave as an employee benefit, the employee is not eligible for leave under the employer's policies, or the employee has already exhausted the leave provided by the employer (including leave exhausted under the FMLA or under a workers' compensation program). Note, however, that the employer is not required to provide paid leave.
Maximum Leave Policies.
Employers are permitted to have leave policies that limit the maximum amount of leave it will provide. Generally, employees with disabilities are not exempt from these policies. However, an employer may be required to modify its maximum leave policy to accommodate absences related to a disability.
Return to Work and Reassignment.
An employer violates the ADA when it requires an employee with a disability to have no medical restrictions (often referred to as a "100% healed or recovered" policy) if the employee can perform his or her job with or without a reasonable accommodation. If an employee returns to work with restrictions from his doctor, the employer should engage in the interactive process with the employee and his doctor to determine what accommodations the employee may need. In many situations, reassignment may be a reasonable accommodation if the employee is not able to perform his or her current job even with an accommodation. Note that it is the EEOC's stance that if reassignment is necessary, the employer should place the employee in an open position for which he is qualified without requiring the employee to compete with other applicants.

Sony is a far cry from being one of the most popular smartphone manufacturers in the mobile industry, but they are a household name and they're recognizable as they have been around in the consumer electronics space for decades. Even though Sony commands a much smaller share of the smartphone market than other brands like LG, Motorola, and Samsung, they still produce an excellent quality handset that any user should be proud to own. The cream of the crop for Sony of course is the Xperia Z series, their flagship device line, which typically sports a very high-quality camera and other great specifications all wrapped up into a sleek design with premium materials. That ship is sailing however, as Sony recently revealed the Xperia Z line this past week at Mobile World Congress, and although it wasn't immediately revealed as they at first stated there simply wouldn't be an Xperia Z6, they eventually confirmed that the Xperia Z line is no more, essentially moving out of the way and making room for the Xperia X series of devices.
With Xperia Z out of the way and no longer a part of Sony's future device launches (presumably, of course, as Sony could always change their minds) what does it mean for Sony's Xperia flagship endeavors down the road? For years the Xperia Z has always been known as Sony's top of the line offering, not only looking the best of all of their smartphone options but also using the best hardware. Sony is at a point of transition though, coming to a realization that they needed to make some changes to their product offerings in the mobile space. Although many thought Sony would simply bow out of the smartphone market following many rumors over the last couple of years thanks to dipping sales and profits in the Sony Mobile division, Sony has all but left the mobile space, instead choosing to try and reinvent their mobile products with a more refined user experience each time. This has led them to now with the introduction of the Xperia X lineup of devices, which is where Sony is now putting all of their focus going forward for at last this year. While the Xperia Z series has always been a more premium feeling offering with a compelling experience for users, Sony is trying to focus more on delivering what consumers want out of the smartphone experience.
Part of how Sony will reach more consumers is with marketing. It's no secret that Sony markets their smartphone offerings quite a bit less than other top brands, like Samsung for example, but with Xperia X things just might be different as Sony is now more committed than ever to having a presence in the U.S., a large market which they typically don't focus on very heavily. Aside from marketing, Sony is also starting to highlight benefits of the new Xperia X series of devices with a nicely timed infographic that points out 3 ways the Xperia X series of devices is smarter than your average smartphone. Sony will have to do quite a bit more than post an infographic to get the attention of consumers in regions where they don't command a large marketshare, but it's a start, and especially when you consider the announcements for the phones in the Xperia X lineup was just last week at Mobile World Congress, which displays that they're jumping on things quickly and looking to launch the new lineup of phones as fast as possible, something which they aren't usually known to do.
One of these new benefits or, smart features, if you will, is something called smart battery management. This particular concept is nothing to the world of smartphones, but Sony's devices have never really introduced anything that managed a user's battery for them, much less in the most intelligent way possible. Sony's devices have always been marketed with great 2-day battery life though, and with Xperia X Sony is taking things a step further by developing the smart battery management to help users get the most out of their device they possibly can, because we all know that devices and all of their cool features will be useless the moment the battery dies. The batteries are still being rated at two days, but the software features inside of these new phones should help users actually reach that point more often now.
So, with all of this heavy focus on the Xperia X line, posing as somewhat of a fresh start for Sony in the smartphone business, a way to move forward, what does this mean for Xperia Z? Well, Sony already confirmed last week that Xperia Z devices are no more. They are looking ahead to a new standard with a clear mind and a renewed interest in reaching as many consumers as they can in meaningful ways with meaningful features and experiences. aimed at battery, software/hardware design, and camera. Sony understands that people's lives shift and adapt to the world and events happening around them, and Xperia X is all about adapting with those people whereas Xperia Z, in Sony's words, was all about bringing the best of their technology to the consumer with each iteration. So, Xperia Z is gone, and while this seems like it might be a sad moment for fans of the flagship lineup, the good news is that Xperia X seems ready to take over with much enthusiasm, and with confidence that it's ready to offer a better user experience than before.
For those that have been loyal Xperia Z customers and users, this might be a hard pill to swallow, as the Xperia Z has been, in many eyes, the pinnacle of a premium Android smartphone for years. Sony puts it best though by stating that Xperia Z has "reached its culmination" which is why they are looking towards a new direction with a fresh idea and a new series of smartphones to usher them into a new era for the mobile division. It will be some time before Xperia Z devices completely fade of course, as there are still a number of older generation Xperia Z smartphones still available for purchase with a number of users already owning one, and Sony's more recently launched Xperia Z5 series is still very much available as well. New generations however, are no more. Despite this though, Sony is continuing to deliver a similar design approach to the outside style of their handsets. While the Sony Xperia X series of phones is all about a new message and a new mission, it still takes on elements of design from the Xperia Z family and is still very much "noticeably Sony."
It's this particular detail that will (hopefully) keep them recognizable to the public that were at least aware Sony made smartphones. For the rest of consumers, so long as Sony does what they can to reach them and make people aware that their products exist, the design will serve as an ever stylish and sleek device, simply with a new approach to how it performs and what it offers. The Xperia Z series of devices has always been a set of great phones, whether they be in compact form or the main flagship, but they were always about the "best of the best," and this clearly didn't work for Sony on the scale that they wanted. With Xperia X, Sony will be able to offer something that perhaps will capture the attention of customers in a more meaningful way instead of simply throwing out a collection of high-end specs. Xperia Z may be dead, but Sony's mobile division is not and nor is their willingness to snag more users. In fact, this might be the first time in a long time that Sony is actually doing their utmost to shift their presence among other top smartphone vendors. Time will tell, of course, but a renewed approach might be just what Sony needed, and if you think about it, the Xperia Z line will technically live on inside of the Xperia X in spirit in one way or another.

If you thought going to the ladies bath would be the highlight of any ecchi anime, then you are SO WRONG!!! So after a quick fight over Natsuru in the ladies bathroom, there is ANOTHER CUH-RAZY SCENE!! X_X
Our male Natsuru gets a bit aggressive with kaichou!!!! Oh boy…this scene was…*speechless* Ummm…You can see for yourself!!
On second thoughts though, I'm a little sad where this is all heading. I mean, it's all entertaining, but our yuri factor is fading away!!! Before, it was really only Kaede who was genuinely going for female Natsuru but she's now SUPER DODGY!!! She's hanging out with the white Kampfers AND she seems to have the power to hypnotize Natsuru!? What the heck is going on…!?!

Review: MedLine FitRight Stretch Ultra Briefs (Large)
Saturday, September 22nd, 2018 In Blog Incontinence Reviews
4.2/5 stars
(Updated 10/2/18 with pictures) After my review of the MedLine Fitright Ultra Briefs, I thought I wouldn't have found something quite as good for the budget department, but I was wrong. At a thrift store I saw a package of these lovely briefs for a good price, so I got them for about $2.00 and some change for twenty of them. That is about ten cents a brief, which didn't set me back. I thought they were some sort of gimmick at first because they have one stretchy large tab instead of two or three like the other competitors. It fit very well and was actually one of the easiest briefs to put on standing. My advice would be to tape the velcro like tabs to your clothes first and then pull everything into place. Maybe I should do a video demonstration on them? Let me know down in the comment sections. The tab is unique to me and I believe they are pretty cool. The only downside is they do chafe a little bit and they are cut a little thinner than the ones with two tabs. I liked the fact they had a purple color to them, being a fan of different colored briefs myself.
Give Them A Go!
These can fit a bit more snug than even the regular FitRight briefs, they are a little less noticeable too as they are a bit more discrete for some reason due to the extra snug fit. These would be perfect for those who need something a little more snug than the two tabs. The one tab is actually bigger than the two tabs combined, which is great. Again, with fecal matter, this type of brief does help contain the smell and with urine it does hold quite a bit. With plastic pants, you can boost them and they compare to the other larger briefs that hold more. They aren't very noisy and I always recommend giving new types of briefs a try before buying them by getting samples from the company that sells them. Maybe finding a customer support email from MedLine or phone number to ask for a coupon too? If you reach out you may even get a free sample in the mail, you never know till you try. Again, don't get the incontinence underwear from MedLine, they don't work very well. Attends or Depends are great budget underwear for what you get. Get out there and try new products folks, we aren't in the dark ages of adult products for incontinence!

Sister wolves moved from Cape Romain
Two sister red wolves have been moved from the Sewee visitors center to North Carolina for breeding, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced Tuesday. The move leaves only four wolves at the complex in the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge north of Charleston. It comes as federal managers review the effort to reintroduce wolves to the wild, a decision that advocates concerned the program may be shut down.

Created in 1992, PBR (Professional Bull Riders) is the biggest international bull riding organization and a global sports phenomenon present in the USA, Brazil, Canada, Mexico and Australia. It started with the partnership of 20 competitors who believed their dream would come true.
In Brazil since 2006, present in the biggest agricultural events, it now reaches a new level with its own events in partnership with IMM.
The association PBR / IMM aims at providing the fans with unforgettable moments while experiencing the event, presenting the best athletes and bulls and an incredible riding in the best arenas in the country. It brings the PBR experience to Brazil as it has never been seen before.
The goal is to grow even more in the coming years, and in 2019 Monster Energy PBR will have 2 Master Stages, with an international standard structure that allows the sport's fans to support their idols up-close, besides enjoying other attractions with the family.
Brazil is the second country in number of bull riding fans. It's estimated that, along with the Brazilian country music market, the sport is appreciated by 30 million people all over the national territory. Annually, Brazil holds 2 thousand events, of which PBR participates in the biggest ones. The country moves more than R$3 billion with parties, creating more than 300 thousand jobs. In the world, millions of people watch more than 250 stages wherever they are.

China may build power station in space
2015-03-31 13:31:16Source:People's Daily Online)Author:
To eliminate smog caused by burning fossil fuels, reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, and solve the energy crisis, experts have suggested that China should build a solar power station in a geosynchronous orbit 36,000 kilometers above the Earth. Once realized, this would be the most ambitious space project ever, far exceeding the scale of the Apollo program and the International Space Station.
How big is it?
The solar power station would be very large. The area of its solar panels would reach from 5 to 6 square kilometers, equivalent to the area of about 12 Tiananmen Squares, says Wang Xiji, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. "Maybe you would be able to see it in the sky at night, like a star", according to Wang.
Researchers have also proposed that the space station could be square, round, or bowl-shaped.
But why build a power station in space?
Wang says the electricity generated by ground-based solar plants fluctuates as night alternates with day, as well as with the weather, while a space-based generator would collect energy 99 percent of the time.
Generating capacity per area unit of a space-based solar panels would be 9 times more than on the ground, says Duan Baoyan, a member of Chinese Academy of Engineering.
However, building such a huge power station in the space would not be easy and there are some key technological problems to be solved.
China could build a space station in the next five years, which would bring great opportunities for the development of the solar power station in space, said Li Ming, Vice President of Chinese Academy of Space Technology.
Large-scale structure and assembly technology from the space station would be used for research into the solar power station in space. The key technologies for the power plant could be verified on the space station.
The carrying capacity of Chinese rockets is growing and it is expected that research into a new generation heavy launch vehicle will be carried out, according to Li Ming.
What would a space-based solar power station be like?
The power station would be a super spacecraft on a geosynchronous orbit equipped with huge solar panels. The electricity generated would be converted to microwaves or lasers and transmitted to a collector on Earth.

18 Feb The importance of paper use reduction
Excessive paper use can have a substantial impact on the environment, and cutting it down can benefit both businesses and the planet.
Paper use reduction allows for minimizing the negative environmental impact caused by cutting down trees and filling landfills with millions of tons of waste. With American workers using approximately 10,000 sheets of paper each year, about 300 million tons of paper are used each year, just in the USA. How many acres of forests must be destroyed to supply the needed resources for that amount of paper? Approximately 300 million acres.
There is a limited source of forests available on the planet, so the heavy use of paper by businesses is not a sustainable practice. Luckily, we have developed technology that allows for an easy transition into a paperless work culture. While being more eco-friendly, paper use reduction implementation can also be more convenient. Think about the logistics included with the use of paper. Corporations must purchase the paper, printer, ink, shredders, trash cans, trash bags and the list goes on.
Your corporation can look into electronic solutions to reduce paper use, cut costs, increase efficiency and reduce your eco-foot print.
Steps you can take to reduce paper use:
- Use e-mail whenever possible
- Make presentations on PowerPoint on other computer software
- Create e-books instead of paper manuals
- Keep your mailing lists current and make sure that the people who you are sending paper mailings to actually will be getting them and opening them
- Use scrap paper for notes and sketches
- Email customers receipts
- Reduce use of paper plates, cups, etc. and stock the break room with ceramic mugs, plates, silverware and more.
By implementing these steps and other paper reducing measures, each business and person can help to reduce the destruction of forests and stop the creation of new landfills. While the transition can seem overwhelming, keep in mind that electronic storage of data can also result in improved reporting and increased quality of work.

During this busy time of year we have the opportunity to be around more people than ever, preparing ourselves, our homes and our families for the holidays. Many times we walk past hundreds of folks a day in malls or even small local shops with laser focus, determined to check items off of our lists without a single thought for the individuals around us. I must confess, for most of my life, that was me. I would have, of course,…..

US-led coalition strikes kill 14 civilians in east Syria
In Syria, at least 14 civilians have been killed in US-led coalition air strikes on the Islamic State terror group's last holdout in eastern Deir Ezzor province. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, at least nine terrorists were also killed in the air raids on the villages of Hajin, Sousa and Al-Shaafa. The Britain-based monitor said, the death toll is likely to rise due to the number of seriously injured. The Observatory said, the strikes on the area intensified following an attempted terror attack on a coalition base in the nearby village of Al-Bahra.

Hi everyone,
Im new to this forum.
Ive been an assistant to a tech for the past few years, and have now moved up to try and make headway in the electronic industry via a Copier career.
My job entails repairing, maintaining and installing copier imaging and printing solutions.
The only copiers I have worked on are Canons. However i also work with printers as well as other electrical hardware. basically anything electronic to do with the company I can work on. Its quite fun and really interesting, but seems like im a 'jack of all trades master of none'.
Joined the forum in hopes of expanding my knowledge, and hopefully get to help others as well.
I work on St Helena Island, which is fairly isolated, an has its own unique problems such as ordering replacements and equipment tends to double in cost. Most of my knowledge is handed down by the senior tech,(quite old information),on copiers as there are no copier techs courses available here. so problems tend to be resolve by tonnes of research and getting familiar with service manuals, when I can find them.
would love to progress and do some canon service tech courses in the near future to make the company more efficient. But we'll see how that goes.
Thanks for having me.

CASE: Joshua Lowery (Case # 14F01574)
PROSECUTOR: Deputy District Attorney William Satchell, Homicide Unit
The Honorable Steve White sentenced Joshua Lowery to 16 years to life in prison. On August 16, 2017, a jury convicted Lowery for the second-degree murder of Christopher Sorgani. The jury also found true the allegation that Lowery personally used a deadly weapon.
On October 23, 2013, Christopher Sorgani took light-rail and a bus home from work. Mr. Sorgani was physically disabled and often walked the last stretch of his trip home for exercise. As Mr. Sorgani walked down Greenback Lane, Joshua Lowery approached him from behind and struck him in the head with a hammer multiple times, killing him. Mr. Sorgani and Lowery had no connection with each other and there was no apparent motive for the murder.

From the CD Inlay – The organ in the Empress Ballroom came originally from the Tower Ballroom, when that was being replaced. It was enlarged to become a twin of the Tower organ and was opened by Horace Finch in April 1935. In 1970 it was moved to the BBC Playhouse Theatre in Manchester and was in regular use until 1988. It's sale to owners in the south of England led to hopes of a new venue for this famous organ, but these were dashed when it was announced that the organ was to be dismantled and parts used to enlarge the existing WurliTzer in the Assembly Rooms, Worthing. However, the former console of the Empress organ remains in private ownership and plans are already being made for the possible reinstallation of an organ in the Empress Ballroom, Blackpool. Sadly, this may not be a WurliTzer.

Domains Made Easy / GoDaddy DNS outage – September 10, 2012
For those customers who use domainsmadeeasy as their DNS provider, you are likely seeing sporadic outages. A hacker has claimed responsibility, but hasn't said why. DomainsMadeEasy's phone is busy/down, so I haven't been able to talk to them to get an estimated uptime.
I suppose there is one reason to use dnsmadeeasy instead - the domainsmadeeasy DNS is free with a domain registration, and I have to pay for dnsmadeeasy, but DNS Made Easy has handled pretty large attacks successfully in the past.

In Summary
- Religious organisations, like the Salvation Army, have been at the forefront in providing education for children with disabilities.
- As the second term comes to an end, the schools have received less than 50 per cent of the total funding expected for the year.
Special needs education (SNE) in the country is underfunded, understaffed, neglected, congested and stigmatised, placing a heavy load on school administrators, a survey by the Nation has shown.
The schools take care of more than 125,000 learners with disabilities across the country. Many of them can barely survive on government funding and have to rely on well-wishers or adapt to make ends meet.
Many special schools the Nation visited lack disability-friendly classrooms, dormitories and playgrounds since many of them were built when such concepts had not been mainstreamed, and no adjustments have been made ever since.
Some of the dormitories also fall short of the Ministry of Education guidelines on safety.
At Joytown Secondary School in Thika, which has 292 students, the dormitories are congested and the students have to sleep on double-decker beds, despite most of them having physical disabilities and use either wheelchairs or crutches.
There is little space in the isles, making movement inside the dormitories quite a challenge.
At another special school, the windows are too high for the learners to open and have metal grilles. This goes against the safety guidelines, which requires dormitory windows to have no barriers and to open outwards.
"Enrolment has risen due to sensitisation campaigns. It is a good thing, but it has put a strain on resources available at school," Mr Raphael Aura, the chairperson of the Kenya Special Schools Principals Association, said.
Special schools also lack medical facilities and trained personnel to take care of the learners. This year, four students of Joytown have died due to various complications. The school has a clinic and one nurse.
"I work round the clock since this is more like a school and a hospital at the same time," said Ms Sophie Kamau, the nurse.
She said that they have been forced to compromise on the students' diet as the school cannot afford the dietary needs the health conditions of the learners demand.
The most common health conditions are brittle bones, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, epilepsy and a few cases of HIV/Aids.

Mirror Your Android Screen on Mac or PC (Without Rooting)Tags >> Android , Mac , PC News By : Maqsood Ahmed February 12,2017
Had you ever mirrored your android screen on PC or Mac, how did you do that? It's easy if you have rooted smartphone, but what if your phone isn't rooted, still there are some easy and simple ways to mirror your android's or tablet's screen on PC. There would be plenty of reasons to do so, either you are to continue your work un-interruptedor you want to control your phone, transfer files or record your android's screen while doing the stuff.
So, here are some easy to follow steps…
This is the quickest way, you don't need to install anything on your phone but a chrome app to get the work done.
Requirements: A data transfer Cable, Vysor (Chrome app).
- Assuming you have chrome installed, chrome works on Linux, Mac and Window; vysor works on all these platforms.
- Enable the USB debugging mode, scroll over to Settings> About Phone and tap Build Number 7 times. (Skip this step if you already see Developer Options)
- Now go to Settings > Developer Options and enable USB Debugging Mode.
- Launch Vysor from Chrome App Launcher, tap on Find Devices, a pop-up appears on your android screen, tap on the OK button.
- Here you go, android's screen will now appear on your computer. Now you can interact with your phone through the computer.
- Using Vysor screen reflects in real-time, but working wireless there is distinct lag.
Share Your Screen Wirelessly
You can also share your phone's screen wirelessly, it's easy to mirror withthe new feature of Android 5.0 Lollipop for a wireless solution.
How to Setup
- Download Mirror for Android and AllCast Receiver for chrome.
- Start AllCast Receiver from Chrome App Launcher and Mirror on your android, make sure that both of your devices are on the same WiFi Network.
- In Mirror choose network device matching with your network device and it will start with "Chrome @" followed by IP Address.
Now you can see your screen on PC, it supports other devices on the same network which includes Roku, Fire TV and Apple TV.
Disadvantages of Mirror
- You can't interact with your Android phone from your PC, meaning no typing with computer's keyboard on your phone.
- Mirror floating watermark will stay on the screen which can't be removed; can be annoying for you.
We are curious to know which technique do you use for screen mirroring. Feel free to drop a comment below.

Cooking School Week 18
This post may contain affiliate links. I receive a small commission at no cost to you when you make a purchase using our links. Please see my privacy policy for more details.
I paused at the top of the hill on my walk home to look at the beautiful view by my school. I can't get enough of these breathtaking views, and more gorgeous weather to go with it. I've certainly lucked out with the weather during the 5+ months that I've been in school. The drought that we're in here in California has put a big damper on that, unfortunately!
This week was a big week. Not that the others haven't been — this one was just different. Our instructor had us all turn in our own restaurant style menus to her, complete with 4-5 appetizers, entrees, and desserts. The thinking behind it was to think about what we would serve if we had a restaurant, bearing in mind that we would have to create 1-2 items on our menu without recipes. My problem was, I based a lot of my menu on meals I'd had at other restaurants, which meant that I didn't have any recipes to go from at all. It's called improvising, which I do a lot — but it's easier when you're comfortable with the ingredients you're using. I wasn't totally, but I thought I would be when I was finished. 🙂
Monday was the big day to make our dishes, plate them, and present them. I chose a little gems salad with roasted golden beet and blood orange salad and avocado shallot dressing, which I based off of my own Butter Lettuce Citrus Salad with Avocado-Shallot Dressing. That was a no brainer, but with all of the components, it did present some problems for me being that my main dish had a lot of components, too. Why did I do that to myself? Probably because I always do these things to myself. 😉 I chose to make a Braised Short Rib with Sweet Potato Polenta and Swiss Chard with Garlic Chips. I made a Madeira pan sauce to serve with, and I was very happy with it. I never work with short ribs, and these didn't get tender enough in the amount of time I had…bummer! I'd also only made polenta a few times, but I'd never added anything to it. Surprisingly it came out really well with the addition of pureed sweet potato, and the greens were great too. Overall, I was happy with the dish, and I plan to post it at some point in the future. Here are my dishes:
Little Gems Salad with Golden Beets and Blood Oranges with Avocado-Shallot Dressing.
Braised Short Rib with Sweet Potato Polenta, and Swiss Chard and Garlic Chips in a Madeira Pan Sauce. I'm kinda craving this right now. 🙂
Tuesday was a menu day, and I was assigned Chef of the front kitchen. That meant I had 3 classmates assigned to my team, and I needed to give them duties for the appetizer, entree, and dessert, to make sure everything went out on time, and how the plate was going to look. My style is never to micro manage, and I had a great team that didn't need much managing at all. I helped people that had very time sensitive dishes, and everything went smoothly and tasted great!
The appetizer was Tea Smoked Duck Breast with Lentils, which I can't believe I didn't get a photo of. You all know I don't like duck normally, but this was really tasty! We placed a mixture of red currant tea, raw rice, brown sugar, cinnamon stick and orange peel in the bottom of a wok, and heated it until it started to smoke. The duck breast was placed over a rack directly over it, and the heat was turned down. It smoked only 10 minutes, then it was cooked normally and served over lentils. I want to smoke other meats in this fashion for sure. 🙂
Braised Monkfish with White Beans, Fennel & Tomatoes was the main course, and it was served with crusty bread. The broth was heavenly with chills, saffron, and white wine. I love eating dishes like this.
Caramelized Pear Tart. The pear was poached in a vanilla simple syrup, and it was serve in puff pastry filled with vanilla-caramel pastry cream. It was served with a drizzle of caramel sauce for good measure, and was absolutely phenomenal. 🙂
Tuesday afternoon we had a special treat — Chef Eric Tucker from Millennium restaurant in San Francisco gave us a demo on Vegan cooking. Chef Tucker isn't a vegetarian, although he eats that way most of the time. His demo was so informative and it was amazing watching him work. His dishes were very complex with multiple components and flavors, as vegetarian dishes need to be just that to be really interesting. These dishes were just that — really interesting and full of flavor. 🙂
Shaved Puntarelle Salad with Nori Vinaigrette and Green Garlic Chips. The chef used nori, or seaweed, to give the vinaigrette umami. I couldn't get over the seaweed flavor unfortunately, but I loved the idea of this salad.
Mushroom Tartare with Truffle Soy Mousse, Citrus Tapenade, and Grilled Bread. Anything with mushrooms and I'm there! I loved the tapenade, and all this dish needed was a bit more salt. It was delicious. 🙂
Red Lentil Curry with Brown Basmati Rice Cakes and Cardamom, Shallot, Chile oil. This dish blew everyone away — there were so many flavors and textures going on! The curry was poured over the bottom of the plate, then the basmati rice cakes were placed over that. The rice cakes had chopped dates and scallions, and I could have made a meal out of those. 😉 It was then topped with fresh vegetables, pickled onion, and some spicy peanuts. Heavenly!
On Wednesday, my classmates and I got to recreate Chef Tucker's dishes, and I worked on the curry dish with another classmate. We were hard pressed to finish as it had so many components to it, and we had to make our genoise cakes for Friday to boot, but we did it. I can't wait to make this dish at home.
Thursday was another menu day with lunch guests. One of my classmates was the chef this time, and I was assigned the mussel appetizer, which I was excited about. I really enjoy working with seafood!
La Mouclade, or Mussel Stew with shallots, saffron, and white wine. This dish was so simple and fresh, and the saffron really took it over the top.
Apple Stuffed Pheasant Breast with Roasted Fingerling Potatoes and Arugula. Normally I'm not one to go out of my way and eat pheasant, but I cleaned my plate here. The pheasant didn't have a gamey flavor as it was wrapped in BACON, and it was stuffed with apples and served in a reduced apple cider sauce. This meal was one of the best!
Chocolate 4 Ways. Need I say more? We had a brownie, which I made, and it was the best brownie ever! Then there was a mini chocolate soufflé with cocoa nib cream, a mini chocolate tart filled with ganache, dried cranberries, and nuts, and a whole wheat cocoa nib cookie. All of these desserts was so delicious.
Thursday afternoon we had an Advanced Cake Decorating Demo by Rachel Leising, who also did a demo for us on holiday breads back in December. She worked with Elizabeth Faulkner at Citizen Cake in San Francisco, and owned her own bakery for a few years before giving it up due to the very long hours. She's wonderful to watch, and she's so down to earth and entertaining. She made a princess cake for us, a white chocolate lemon cake, and a chocolate cake with a zaboyan marsala cream filling. We had all been assigned a cake for Friday and baked them off on Wednesday, so I knew I was making that luscious chocolate cake. 🙂
Above are Rachel's cakes, with the chocolate on the left, white chocolate in the middle, and the princess cake on the right. The lemon cake was filled with lemon curd, and the princess cake was filled with raspberry jam, frosted with an Italian buttercream, and covered with marzipan. The princess cake was just too foux foux for me, to I was so glad I had the chocolate cake!
Friday was Valentine's Day, so the day started with one classmate bringing in a rose for each person. So sweet! We put them all in a vase until after school. 🙂
My instructor assigned me as chef in the back kitchen again, so I was in charge of assigning duties to finish our paella lunch, as well as get my cake filled, frosted, and decorated. It was so busy! The paella had many components, and I had to cut my cake into 4 layers, soak each layer in a coffee simple syrup that I made, and make the zaboyan marsala cream filling to fill it with. We barely got lunch out on time, but was it delicious!
This was my team's paella, which included chicken, mussels, shrimp, and spanish chorizo.
The other team made this version of paella with chicken, mussels, clams, paquillo peppers, and peas.
Right after lunch, we had to frost our cakes and decorate them. We had such a small amount of time, and we'd run out of some frosting by the time I was really ready to decorate the top. I wanted to make a marzipan rose, but there just wasn't time. I did make chocolate leaves, and we had some roses that I used to decorate my cake. In a pinch, I used my fresh rose to liven up my cake. I wasn't in the mood to be fussy, so it worked for me.
Here are some photos of the beautiful cakes:
We got to take them home, and mine was a bit damaged since I had quite a commute! It still tasted fabulous. Tell you what, soaking cake layers in simple syrup is the key to making a cake go from good to outstanding. 🙂
And now, here are the tips of the week:
- Always make sure buttercream frosting is at room temperature before serving, which is around 30 minutes depending on how warm or cold it is outside.
- Set cakes up one day ahead to marry the flavors. This includes soaking the layers in simple syrup, filling the cake, and frosting the cake.
- Always use the bottom of your baked cake as the top of the cake as it is the most even, it's nice and moist, and it's less crumbly.
- When using whipped cream to frost your cake, always under whip it. As you frost the cake, you will be working the whipped cream. If it's overworked, it will turn into butter.
- Always temper chocolate if you're using it to decorate cakes to give it more structure.
- Cakes can be frozen for up to a year! Genoise, chiffon, and devil's food cakes are the best for freezing. Simply thaw out in the fridge overnight.
- When filling a cake with jam, always pipe a border of whipped cream or buttercream around the outer edges of the layer to keep the jam from bleeding out.
That's it for this time. Have a great week! 🙂

Meeting – Tuesday 22nd
The theme of the day for this meeting was, "Good Health," from the smaller than usual Central Park Toastmasters team. Many may have taken the opportunity to combine a super long weekend, by taking 3 days as leave between Easter and Anzac to give a ten-day break.
John once again as Sergeant of Arms, provided the fabulous breakfast of muesli, muffins, hot cross buns and piping hot coffee. Thanks John!
This was a meeting, whereby every member "bought" into theme, starting with the ever-vibrant Clinton, stepping into the president's roll for the absent Brenda. Quotes like, " Take care of your body, we have only one place to live" were the norm for this meeting.
Glenn F the ever-professional witty person he is; was the Toastmaster of the day, which added a special touch.
Mohammed embraced the Grammarian's roll with the word of the day; "longevity." Longevity, a word fitting to the theme and used by many of the speakers.
Marieke as the Table Topics Master went to great lengths to come up with a novel twist to the roll. Her "bag" of medical "goodies" ranged from pills, sunglasses, stethoscope and apples and not forgetting the red heart shaped stress balls, which everyone received, were fantastic. This gave opportunities and challenges to all our speakers.
John was first to dip his hand into the bag, pulling out the pill bottle.
Jo was next up with, "Apple" a day keeps the doctor away."
Newest member Malcolm got the sunglasses and last but not least Dr Krone (aka Marlene) the stethoscope.
As we know everything in Toastmasters gets evaluated and for the Table Topics we had Clinton in his dual roll and Bianca. Great listening skills by both meant they could recant many of the quotes used by the speakers. This gave strength to the commendations and recommendations they gave the speakers. I fine job done by both.
After being watered and fed by John's fine breakfast spread we returned to the formal part of the meeting for three excellent speeches. Samwell was the first "cab off the rank" with the topic of; "Throwing Your Weight Around." This was Samwell's number five speech out of the Competent Communication Manual. Samwell has a confident demeanor and is willing to give you a deep look into his person life and thoughts, which doesn't come without its challenges, but makes for a fine speech.
Second speaker was Jeremy. Jeremy is working from the advanced Public Relations Manual, with the number four speech. The topic being the contentious, "Petrol Is Cheap." No guessing whom Jeremy works for!! All joking aside, this was a brilliantly constructed speech; brought to life with Jeremy's usual relaxed no pressure style of speaking.
Our last speaker was Ruth. Ruth was delivering a number four speech from the advanced Speaking to Inform Manual with the topic of; Do You Know Who I Am. Ruth delivers her speeches with feeling, fine vocal variety and natural gestures, which brings the speeches to life. Great command of the English language also brings professionalism to Ruth's speeches as well.
With fine speeches, you need fine evaluators. Too these ends, we had the experience of Jo, Marlene and Nadine on the job. All three evaluators showed strong listening skills by recalling important passages of each speaker's speech. They used these tools to build constructive commendations and recommendations to each of the speakers in order for them to grow as a person and improve their speaking skills.
Timekeeper for the meeting was PC Phil Gaze. Phil noted all the times of the meeting and wasn't averse to ticketing and red carding the people who went over time.
As we know, everything gets evaluated, and who better to be the General Evaluator than Big Ben. Ben is one cool relaxed character, who never seems rushed, but gets the job done on time and in the most professional manner, hence the meeting finished on its 8.30am deadline.
Next Meeting 6.50am Tuesday 6th May.

text: Very rarely does a flanker deliver something that not only celebrates the original, but equals it. The original Spicebomb, by Viktor and Rolf was a success, both artistically and commercially. It was a mid-market masterpiece, and one of my favorite tobacco note scents. So with trepidation, I tried Spicebomb Fresh, which is the Eau Fraiche version. And this is just as wonderful. At first, this seems nowhere like he original: a burst of subtle citrus that's grapefruit that's neither tart nor sweet. Then it veers towards soething a bit spicy: with cinammon, red pepper, and saffron, But they are all blended well that not one note is overwhelming, And it has a beachy "salt water" note that I love. It smells like a summer afternoon, like you've been wearing a sort of spic perfume under the sun. Then the soft leathers come in, and the tobacco note that marries this to the original Spicebomb, and then you realize that yeah, this does feel like a summery and lighter version of he original. And if you feel that the original is strong, I think this matches that – the sillage and longevity mirrors the original. This would be a perfect summer day scent for me – it's slightly rough yet still fresh smelling. This is going straight to my to-buy list!

I write to express my vehement opposition to recent proposals to establish so called "safe injection sites" within the Commonwealth.
Legislation such as Senate Bill 1081 sponsored by State Senators William Brownsberger and Julian Cyr, would create taxpayer funded facilities and medical staff through-out the state, including Cape Cod. People would bring illegal drugs obtained on the street and inject themselves without risk of criminal prosecution.
Such proposals conflict with federal law.
These sites, which will normalize intravenous use of heroin and fentanyl, would not be off limits to federal law enforcement efforts, despite what the Commonwealth's legislature might try to enact. Moreover, employees and users of such a site would be exposed to federal criminal charges regardless of any state law or study.
Specific federal criminal statutes prohibiting use of illicit narcotics and maintaining premises for illegal narcotics use are not to be trifled with. It is a crime, not only to use illicit narcotics, but to manage and maintain sites on which such drugs are used and distributed.
Thus, it is worth reiterating that exposure to criminal charges would arise for users and site workers and overseers. The properties that host Safe Injection Sites would also be subject to federal forfeiture.
Regarding the pros and the cons of such proposals, there is not really any credible empirical evidence which suggests that safe injection sites lead drug addicts into ongoing treatment.
We are already engaged in a horrendous war with the opioid epidemic. We do not need state sponsored shooting up galleries which essentially is what they would be.
Undermining the rule of law is about all these sites would achieve rather than aiding our valiant communities ravaged by the opioid crisis, and the courageous families that reside within them.

This Quick Apricot Chicken recipe is the perfect way to get out of a boring chicken breast rut! A super easy family dinner that tastes truly special.
Anyone else get bored by the same-old, same-old chicken breast dinners? 🙋🏻♀
Well, this recipe is one to change that. It's one of our favorite at-home takeouts when time is short and I've already maxed out my one pot pasta allowance for the week, ha!
It's quick. It's easy. It's incredibly flavorful – and definitely beats that dreaded dinner rut!
Quick Apricot Chicken Recipe
Recipes with a sticky glaze are definitely a winner when it comes to adding flavor to chicken in a relatively short amount of time.
And just FYI – this is a recipe that works WITHOUT any soup mixes or bottled salad dressings!
Instead, this is chicken with apricot preserves and soy sauce and a little few extra things to max out on the flavor front. Don't worry if you have small kids (I do!), this recipe is still mild enough so they'll enjoy it too.
Simply put, this is a quick dinner fix all from scratch, just the way I like it.
How to cook apricot chicken
This is a really simple and straight-forward recipe, so it doesn't need a ton of tips or explanations.
I'm just going to give you a few super quick hints to make this recipe absolutely foolproof:
- brown the chicken before adding the other ingredients – I know we all tend to skip this step when we're short on time, but it really does add a ton of flavor
- you don't have to make apricot chicken breast – you can also use thighs, wings or drumsticks, but you will have to adjust the cooking time. I prefer diced chicken breast because it cooks the fastest.
- adjust the flavor to your taste – you can add grated ginger or chili flakes for a little spiciness, or use ketchup instead of BBQ sauce if you don't care for the smokiness
A note on sauce consistency:
Sometimes your sauce just won't come out the way you like it – it depends a lot on your exact ingredients, if your meat has been frozen etc. etc.
If you need to troubleshoot this apricot sauce for chicken:
If it's too thin, simmer without a lid for a few extra minutes and it should thicken.
If it's too thick and sticky, thin it out with a few spoonfuls of orange juice – add a little bit at a time until it's just the way you like it.
What sides go well with this quick apricot chicken?
We like to keep things simple with a side of rice and something like an asian-inspired cucumber salad or slaw.
Stir-fry veggies, broccoli or roasted asparagus would all be nice, too!
Other quick and easy chicken recipes:
Quick Apricot Chicken
- 1 tablespoon oil I like to use sesame, but any neutral oil will work, too
- 1 pound diced chicken breast
- 1 small onion chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/3 cup orange juice or more if you prefer a thinner sauce
- 1 cup apricot jam OR preserves
- 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
Optional for Serving
- chopped scallions, sesame seeds and rice
- Brown chicken: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned (it doesn't have to be cooked through yet). Stir in onions and garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Make sauce: Pour the orange juice into the pan with the chicken, scratching the browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat to medium. Add apricot jam, BBQ sauce, soy sauce and honey. Stir well.
- Finish dish: Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat and gently simmer until chicken is done (internal temperature should be 160°F) and sauce has thickened to your liking. Serve over rice with scallions and sesame seeds, if you like.

Tasty grooves: Kitchens talk music • Musicians talk food
Our very own Noah Miles recently contributed to an article on NUVO!
Noah Miles works at Bluebeard and plays in Dead Birds Adore Us:
Art, food, and music. That's what it's all about. These outlets coincide with one another allowing me the freedom to create in many different mediums be it canvas, amplifier, or plate.
I have a deep love for food that I discovered at a young age. I was weaned with hot sauce! I love working in a kitchen for a lot of obvious reasons. I get to work with great people — executive chef/owner Abbi Merriss, head baker/owner Charles McIntosh, the Battista family, as well as other great chefs that have left to pursue their own projects, not to mention our wonderful bartenders, managers and wait staff. I get to try new things on a daily basis as our menu at Bluebeard is ever-evolving. I am never hungry. We may fall in love with a dish and then change it the next day as ingredients dictate. I love the fact that we have the freedom to change at a minute's notice. We don't have to necessarily make the same thing day in and day out, which can become monotonous and wearing on the creative soul.
The same is true with the music I play in Dead Birds Adore Us. We can play anything we choose because we trust each other musically. We have the ability to create what we think is pretty A-okay, good old-fashioned Dead Birds Adore Us-style sound. We get together and bounce around notes until we have something to build on. Our songs come about by constantly listening and tweaking the composition until we are all in approval — and we may still decide to change something. It's much like in cooking, where I can bounce ideas to the chef and fellow cooks to determine first the direction of the dish, then other key elements that support the intention of the dish until we have a final product — all the time tasting and tasting. I find myself learning from everyone as we come together to produce a greater good, weather it be in music, or food, or even art.
I enjoy painting when I'm not cooking or playing in the band. I am currently working on a horror movie series I will be showing in October.
With these outlets at my disposal I am able to exercise my creativity. Yes, I may work long hours in a kitchen, but when you're in a good one, with people you trust, bleed, and sweat with every single day, you feel like you're with family and that is important. The same holds true with a band. You wouldn't spend all your free time in a van driving to gigs with people you couldn't stand as a form of relaxation. No, they become your brothers and sisters. It is satisfying to know that what I make and send out into world is received and appreciated by someone in the way of food, music or art.
Return of Dent Show
| written by Ryan Sellick |
DENT is a local Indianapolis band that was well known in the mid 90's to early 00's, opening for the likes of Pantera and White Zombie. The band, being on hiatus for several years, had an amazing reunion performance to a near-sold out crowd at the Rockhouse this past weekend. We were lucky enough to be a part of the Return of Dent.
This show was special because there was an air of nostaglia, a sense of unity that is evidently rare in the Indianapolis local music climate. To me, it seemed it wasn't just the band that was reuniting, but their fans as well.
The crowd mingled through the beginning of the night, engaging more and more into the music as the night went on, peaking heavily during DENT's set. They have such a powerful stage presence that resonated with everyone in the room. Everyone packed so thick and close to the stage that for a moment, the Rockhouse felt like the Vogue. It's a small wonder that these guys had a successful music career, and I really hope to see them again someday.
Accompanying Dent was Mardi Belle, Dead Man's Grill, Model Stranger, yours truly, and Join the Dead; a tasteful variety of Rock to keep the crowd tuned in all night.
…and if you were present, in any capacity (including "in spirit"), thank you so much. This show was special because we could really feel the energy in the air, a few select people were there supporting us with every ounce of it they had left. We feel it, we reflect it, and it makes for a kick-ass rock show.
Earlier in the day, I ran into James Kramer at Arkbarn Studio while dropping off the Bigfoot Yancey EP for Ryan Koch to mix. We talked about what it takes to build a local fan base, and he made a excellent point. He said that it's important fans to feel like they have something special. Something real. We may not always pull the biggest crowd, but we have a damn good base of really awesome people that are moved by what we are doing. It is a really good feeling to have that kind of support for doing something you love, and we couldn't be more grateful.
On a side note, everything ran smoothly with Bigfoot Yancey's mixing and mastering session, and their entire EP sounds amazing. I've been playing it on loop for the last several days. They plan on releasing it soon, and I'm excited to share it!
In the meantime, here's a video from the show. Enjoy. 🙂
Thanks again everyone!
With love,
Pandora, CD's, Dent Show, New Music
Happy 2015 ya'll, it's been too long since we've given you a solid update!
We were recently accepted by Pandora! They are going to enter the entire album into the Music Genome Project, and it should be live very soon! The Music Genome Project matches new music based on a system of tags and categories. I'm curious what they will say about us! 😉
Also, you can now buy a CD on the website! Just go to the home-page, and click the paypal link under "Buy", or just click here.
We are making progress on some new music that we are excited about. We are exploring a bit more psychedelic funky tones, and we can't wait to share it!
Our only booked show at the moment is The Return of Dent, on Saturday, February 7th. The 200 pre-sale tickets have SOLD OUT, so your only shot to get in is to get there early and be one of the first 100 people in the door. We are stoked about this show!
As always, thank you for your continued support!
