Refrigerator Cheat Sheet
This graphic from Dr. Oz has some great tips for getting your fridge in tip-top shape. Every section of the fridge gets different amounts of cold air sent to it, so it's important to follow these guidelines if you want your food to last as long as possible and taste its best too.
- The Door The door is often the place where things get put in a hurry, but it's important to note that it's the place that gets cooled the least. Keeping items that aren't going to be bothered by this temperature change here is always a good idea. Some examples? Butter, juice, cooking oil, condiments and soda can all safely be stored here.
- Upper shelves These are the perfect place for jams, leftovers, peanut butter, yogurt and other small snacks. The idea is to be sure things are put into smaller packages since the top shelves tend to be warmer the higher up they are.
- The Lower Shelves These shelves are great for all the items that go bad the quickest – meats, eggs. poultry and fish. Try to keep any dairy items you have near the back of your fridge here since they can easily curdle from temperature fluctuations.
- Crisper Bins Those drawers on the bottom of your fridge are specifically made for produce. Many come with humidity controls that allow you to adjust the levels of moisture for different sorts of fruits and veggies. As a general rule, vegetables need more humidity while fruits need less humidity.
Be sure to take note of the foods that shouldn't be stored in the fridge. We have a whole post dedicated to how to make food last longer in your fridge. You can read it here.

The News by Alain de Botton
It used to be that Alain de Botton was counted as one of my favourite contemporary philosophers, a person that deeply affected my world views. Then came his book on atheism to greatly deflate that image. Regardless, I missed de Botton and his writing; upon learning he's got a book dealing with the way news is covered, a subject matter that annoys me so often given my opinions on the lackluster monopoly controlled things that pass for news agencies nowadays, I decided it was time to reacquaint myself with my man Alain.
In News, de Botton's core argument is that good news coverage should follow the same themes as good art. All those claims of neutral coverage prohibiting personal opinion are bullshit, de Botton argues (eloquently; he doesn't use the bull word), and I wholeheartedly agree. For there is no such thing as objective coverage anyway.
Alain continues. There is no way for media to effectively convey events in, say, Africa, while at the same time assuming Africa works just the same as the UK (the author's home). Media should do more to portray what things really feel like, as through the use of photography. Similarly, financial news coverage should not stick to dry figures but rather bear in mind that economics is a social science dealing with choices; there could be so much to financial news coverage that is exciting and interesting, yet virtually no media outlet dares venture there.
As the plot thickens, so to speak, de Botton recycles many an argument from his previous efforts. Discussions about similarities between art, architecture and news coverage reminisce statements made in The Architecture of Happiness, while the chapter on celebrity news coverage reads a lot like Status Anxiety. Like the news media he criticises, de Botton seems to struggle to come up with original ideas.
While, in general, I am in full agreement with de Botton on the issues affecting contemporary news coverage, I do think it is important to note that not all is lost. Take The Intercept as an example: here is an exemplary news coverer that does pretty much everything de Botton asks for, including not shying from lengthy coverage, complicated depictions of the very complicated, and clearly subjective writing - while also delivering ground breaking news.
Other examples, such as Australia's Global Mail, show that while de Botton may be correct, it could well be that the public isn't really interested in what the news agency has to say. Global Mail went for the lengthy, detailed coverage but ultimately failed and shut down. Perhaps the average Aussie, to whom Global Mail was aimed, actually prefers the dumbed down short snippets of trivially excruciating tidbits thrown at her by the kiloton from the direction of Murdoch's media empire? It wouldn't be the first time the public did not know what's good for it.
It's not like I'm not beyond fault myself. I like good news coverage, but do I have time for it? I cannot recall but one or two cases in which I read a Global Mail article from start to finish. Time, I believe, is a key factor.
I mean, look at Time Magazine, the elephant in the room. Its editorial line is so annoyingly mainstream and so deeply commercialised that no one is capable of competing with its might. Everyone talks about Time's choice for Person of the Year, but no one bothers discussing anyone else's choice. Yet even de Botton seems afraid to tackle matters of time and money.
Overall: The News is an interesting, often thought provoking read. Yet de Botton is clearly struggling. 3 out of 5 crabs.

BAGHDAD - The secular challenger who stunned Iraq with his razor-thin parliamentary election win turned his attention to negotiations over a future government Saturday even as supporters of the prime minister vowed to fight the results.
Ayad Allawi's two-seat win was hailed as a startling comeback for a politician who just four years ago was shunned as a U.S.-backed puppet, but the closeness of the race meant his road to regaining the premiership was anything but guaranteed.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's bloc has demanded a recount, claiming fraud. The Shiite leader, who angrily denounced the results after their Friday release, did not appear in public on Saturday, but his supporters promised a fight to keep him in his post.
"There are two options in front of us. The first, to continue the challenge in a legal and constitutional way and the second is to continue demanding the manual recount," adviser Sami al-Askari said.
A spokesman for the Accountability and Justice Commission, responsible for vetting candidates for ties to Saddam Hussein's Baathist party, also raised the prospect that some candidates may yet be disqualified.
The maneuvering followed a bitter campaign and signaled a protracted battle to form a new government that will lead the country as the U.S. speeds up the withdrawal of its forces.
In a worrying sign of the sectarian tensions the elections have stirred up, a Sunni leader in a Baghdad neighborhood who on Friday night celebrated Allawi's win by passing out candy to well-wishers was killed by a sniper Saturday morning, police and hospital officials said.

Matt Shulman: So It Goes
Shulman started playing classical violin and piano when he was three, moving to baritone horn at age eight, but it wasn't until age twelve that he fully took to an instrument: the trumpet. He has toured internationally, recorded and/or collaborated with such artists as Brad Mehldau, Ethan Iverson and Reid Anderson from the Bad Plus, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Joe Lovano, Nneena Freelon, and others. His credentials also include solos on Saturday Night Live, appearances on the Showtime Channel, and both soloist and composer at Lincoln Center and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
Shulman isn't blessed with the greatest voice, which actually works out for the type of music presented on So It Goes. He meshes nicely with the ambient sounds of the instruments. And since many of the tunes have a dark, haunting element, his vocals serve to enhance the mood. On the title song, Shulman is something of a tour de force. He sings, plays trumpets, and uses his voice as a muted horn in a solo and a duet with the trumpet.
On some of the longer pieces, the trio really stretches out. The sassy "Truckin' features the group in a carefree, swinging atmosphere. Shulman goes it alone for the first minute of "Zeppelin, again pairing vocals with trumpet. Clohesy and Wildman really kick it when the main melody starts. At times, Shulman's delivery could pass a Middle Eastern holy chant, complemented by muted trumpet. At about the 3:30 mark, the instrument dips into its lower extremes while the voice heads in the opposite direction. Shulman then takes both into an upper register. The trio's delivery of the classic "My Funny Valentine is appropriate. The song itself is melancholy; add to that Shulman's dark tones and you have a match made in free-form heaven.
Shulman's music is similar in approach to the avant-garde style popular in the 1960s, but with an ethereal quality. The music may be too abstract for smooth jazz fans, but the more adventurous listener may appreciate, if not adore, So It Goes.
Track Listing
So It Goes; Almost There; My Funny Valentine; Forgetting/Remembering Yourself; Truckin
Matt Shulman: trumpet, vocals, effects; Matt Clohesy: acoustic bass; Jason Wildman: drums, percussion.

Hard Boiled Eggs…cooking tips
Cooking hard boiled eggs can be a hastle because you have to kor hui (jaga api) or kor chui (jaga air). My dear friend, KS was so kind to share this method of cooking the eggs whereby you don't have to worry whether they are over-cooked or under-cooked.
1) Place two pieces of tissue papers inside the rice cooker and sprinkle them with water.
2) Put in the eggs.
3) Close the lid and press "Cook" button.
4) Wait till the button jumps up. When it does, TURN OFF THE ELECTRICITY POWER. Do not leave them too long inside the rice cooker after cooked …only do so if you prefer a harder egg yolk.
5) The eggs are ready.
The speed is faster than using ordinary boiling method. This is because the water sprinkled will turn into steam and compressed inside the rice cooker to cook the eggs. You can peel the egg shells off very easily. The egg yolks will turn out just nice, not too dry. And the best part is -you don't have to do any washing nor cleaning at all.

SDL (LSE: SDL), a global leader in content creation, translation, management and delivery, today announces the general availability of its SDL Accessibility Solution to help companies ensure their content and digital experiences are universally accessible and meet global regulatory compliance.
Close to 15 per cent of the world's population has an impairment affecting visual, hearing, motor and/or cognitive abilities. Companies need to ensure all their content – both digital and print – is easy to use, navigate, and complies with regulatory guidelines for Universal Accessibility. This involves manually creating, adapting, and checking multiple pages of content, much of which is locked in PDFs, videos and documents. For regulated industries, it's even more challenging given the volume, timelines and confidential nature of content, compounded by the strict regulatory requirements
The SDL Accessibility Solution addresses these challenges, offering clients a comprehensive solution combining consulting, implementation and technology to help evaluate, remediate and deliver accessible content to improve customer experiences, while reducing their corporate compliance risk.
The solution enables organizations' content to comply with international accessibility guidelines, including the British Standard 8878, the European Accessibility Act, Section 508 and 504 of the US Rehabilitation Act, AODA, Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 and PDF UA.
"Much like a physical store or office, companies need to ensure that their online products, services and digital experiences are available to everyone. The reality is that companies – who are already overwhelmed with content – still lack a strategic approach to universal accessibility," said Christophe Djaouani, SVP at SDL. "It's not only a corporate responsibility for every company, but also a good business strategy, making sure you reach all of your audiences. Incorporating accessibility into a content strategy can improve the customer's journey and have an overall positive impact on your customers' experience and a company's revenue."
While regulatory compliance is critical to reducing corporate risk, forward thinking organizations are also taking into consideration the impact on their brand's image for non-compliance – often not immediately quantifiable, but potentially larger than any fines or penalties. They also must take into account an aging population, which means more people with accessibility challenges, and the emergent trend and consumer expectation to access content wherever, whenever and however they desire in any language and across all abilities.
The SDL Accessibility Solution solves these problems by combining assessment, strategy and services with technology, leveraging capabilities within SDL Tridion Sites – for web content management and publication, integrated with SDL Translation Management System (TMS) for multilingual translation, and SDL XPP, an automated XML publishing engine for complex and high-volume publishing applications. The combination enables companies to ensure that content – from across the organization – is delivered across all languages, available for all abilities and across any channel a customer prefers.

7.7 miles away
|Tail number
|Accident date
|14 Oct 2004
|Aircraft type
|Piper PA-28-140
|Additional details:
On October 14, 2004, approximately 1800 Pacific daylight time, a Piper PA-28-140, N454FL, operated by a private pilot, was destroyed after impacting trees and mountainous terrain about 7 miles southwest of Grand Ronde, Oregon. A post-crash fire ensued. The airplane was registered to and operated by Cirrus Aviation, LLC, of McMinnville, Oregon. The private pilot and two passengers on board the airplane were fatally injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed for the personal flight, which was being conducted in accordance with 14 CFR Part 91. The local flight departed the McMinnville Municipal Airport (MMV), at 1700.
In an interview with the NTSB investigator-in-charge (IIC), the owner of the fixed base operation where the airplane was rented reported that the pilot and his two passengers were going on a local flight; however, the destination and intent of the flight was not known. The owner stated that the pilot told her that he planned to return at approximately 1900. Subsequent to the pilot's failure to return at the specified time, an alert notification (ALNOT) was issued for the missing aircraft at 2259. Approximately 1400 on October 15, 2004, the aircraft was located in dense forested mountain terrain approximately 7 nautical miles southwest of Grand Ronde, and 2 nautical miles northeast of Saddle Bag Mountain.
A hunter who was in the general vicinity of the crash site on the evening of the accident reported hearing an airplane, then looked up to see a light aircraft approaching [from] a southerly direction toward his position. The hunter stated that he was rather surprised to see a plane in the air [during] the late afternoon hour, and that it made a circle over the area to the northwest in a deliberate manner, as though it was looking for something, "...taking aerial photography or spotting elk." The hunter related, "I was a little concerned about his altitude, which seemed to be rather low for the hilly terrain and timber. [As] the plane was closer I noted the red fuselage with white markings. It looked very slow, almost at stall speed. The tail seemed to be lower than the front. I listened hard for any indication of engine trouble, sputtering, uneven rpms, etc. The engine sounded smooth and powerful. Then it disappeared over the timber to the east." The hunter reported that about 10 to 15 minutes later the [airplane] returned overhead. The hunter stated, "It had a similar low altitude, and was headed east again. It flew over the clear cuts and disappeared over the timber. I found out later that the aircraft I had seen and the aircraft that had crashed were the same aircraft."
On October 15, 2004, representatives from the National Transportation Safety Board, the Federal Aviation Administration, and The New Piper Aircraft visited the accident site to examine the wreckage. That afternoon the aircraft was recovered to a secure location for further investigation, which would be supervised by the IIC.
The 1971 model Piper PA-28-140 airplane, serial number 28-7125249, was a single-engine, low wing, fixed landing gear airplane. The airplane was powered by a four cylinder, air-cooled, normally aspirated Lycoming O-320 engine, rated at 150 horsepower. The airplane was configured to carry a maximum of four occupants.
A review of maintenance records revealed that the last annual inspection was completed on April 21, 2004, with a total airframe time of 3,930 hours. The review of the engine maintenance logs showed that the engine underwent its most recent 100 hour inspection on August 19, 2004, with a tach time of 4034.06 hours, a total time on the engine of 2823.7 hours, and 723.7 hours since its last major overhaul. The last major overhaul on the engine was conducted on April 19, 1997.
The pilot received his private pilot certificate with a single-engine land rating on October 4, 2003. According to the pilot's logbook, the last entry prior to the accident flight revealed that he had accumulated 111.3 total flying hours, with 41.8 hours in make and model.
The pilot held a third class medical certificate with no restrictions, dated October 4, 2002.
At 1753, the weather reporting facility at the McMinnville Municipal Airport, located 32 nautical miles northeast of the accident site, reported wind 040 degrees at 7 knots, visibility 10 statute miles, sky clear, temperature 24 degrees C, dew point 12 degrees C, and an altimeter setting of 30.03 inches of Mercury.
Examination of the accident site by the NTSB IIC and representatives from the Federal Aviation Administration, Lycoming Engines, and The New Piper Aircraft revealed that the aircraft came down through a tall stand of mature trees on a magnetic heading of approximately 350 degrees, with a wreckage distribution path of 124 feet measured along a magnetic heading of 352 degrees. The beginning of the wreckage path began at tree approximately 80 feet high, with the wreckage located within 30 feet of the tree. The wreckage came to rest inverted in dense, wooded, mountainous terrain on an upslope of approximately 40 to 50 degrees and lying perpendicular to the slope. A Global Positioning System (GPS) recorded the accident location at 45 degrees 00.965 minutes North latitude, 123 degrees 44.820 minutes West longitude, at an elevation of 2,350 feet. All major components of the airplane were accounted for in the main wreckage area. A post-accident fire consumed the cockpit, fuselage, both inboard wing sections, and a portion of the empennage.
The left wing was separated from the fuselage at its wing root and located in the main wreckage area. The wing was destroyed and exhibited thermal damage and sooting. The wing came to rest oriented upslope at approximately a 45 degree angle resting against a tree, which was impaled into the wing's leading edge about 5 feet inboard of the wing root. The wing's flap remained attached to the wing at all of its attach points. The position of the flap prior to impact could not be determined due to impact damage. The left aileron was separated from the left wing and found under the tail section of the airplane. The wing's fuel tank had been breached. The lower half of the right main landing gear was broken and separated from the wheel well.
The right wing was separated from the fuselage and located inverted and perpendicular to the wreckage distribution path. The wing's carrythrough spar was bent and twisted to a point outboard from the wing root for about 7 feet. The aileron remained attached to the wing at the two outboard attach points, and the flap remained attached to the wing at its two inboard attach points. The position of the flap prior to impact could not be determined due to impact damage. The wing exhibited thermal damage and sooting, and its fuel tank was breached. The right main landing gear was broken and separated from the wheel well.
The aircraft's empennage was found laying on the left side of the vertical stabilizer, with the right side of the stabilator pointing upslope at an angle estimated at 45 degrees. The rudder, vertical stabilizer and stabilator remained attached to the empennage at all attach points. All components of the empennage exhibited thermal damage and sooting. The stabilator trim setting was observed at 9 threads, which equates to a slight nose up attitude.
The engine came to rest in an inverted position but still attached to the engine mount. A detailed examination of the engine was conducted after the aircraft had been recovered from the accident site to a secure location.
The cockpit and cabin areas were destroyed and consumed by fire. The only instrument which was identifiable was the airspeed indicator, which indicated 50 knots. All other cockpit instruments were destroyed.
No evidence of an in-flight mechanical and/or flight control malfunction was found that would have rendered the airplane uncontrollable prior to the impact. Control continuity to all control surfaces was established on site during the initial examination of the wreckage.
The autopsy was performed on the pilot by the Lincoln Country Medical Examiner's Office, Clackamas, Oregon, on October 17, 2004. The FAA Civil Aeromedical Institute (CAMI) Forensic Toxicological and Accident Research Center at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, examined the specimens taken by the medical examiner. The toxicological findings were negative.
On October 28, 2004, under the supervision of the NTSB IIC, an examination of the engine was conducted at the facilities of HLM Air Services Inc., Independence, Oregon. The examination revealed that the engine remained attached to the engine mount and sustained thermal damage as a result of the effects of the post impact ground fire. The engine accessories had been destroyed, rendering them unsuitable for testing. A visual examination of the engine revealed no evidence of pre-impact catastrophic mechanical malfunction or fire.
The bottom spark plugs were removed and examined. The electrodes remained mechanically undamaged, and according to the Champion Spark Plugs "Check-A-Plug" chart AV-27, the spark plug electrodes displayed coloration consistent with normal operation. The oil soaking of the spark plugs was attributed to the engine positioning at the mishap site and post recovery.
The crankshaft was free and easy to rotate in both directions. Thumb compression was observed in proper order on all four cylinders. The complete valve train was observed to operate in proper order. Normal lift action was observed at each rocker assembly. Clean, uncontaminated oil was observed at all four rocker box areas. Mechanical continuity was established throughout the rotating group, valve train and accessory section during hand rotation of the crankshaft. The accessory gears, including the crankshaft gear, bolt and dowel were intact and remained undamaged by a pre-impact malfunction. There was no oil residue observed in the exhaust system gas path. There was no significant ductile bending of the exhaust system components.
The left magneto remained secure at the mounting pad. The magneto had been subjected to thermal effect damage as a result of the post impact ground fire. The magneto sustained varying degrees of damage that rendered the unit inoperative and therefore, could not be functionally tested. Magneto to engine timing could not be ascertained. The right magneto had been displaced from the mounting pad. The magneto had been subjected to thermal effect damage as a result of the post impact ground fire. The magneto sustained varying degrees of damage that rendered the unit inoperative and therefore, could not be functionally tested. Magneto to engine timing could not be ascertained. The ignition harness had sustained varying degrees of damage by thermal energy and was not tested. The ignition harness was attached at the spark plugs.
The oil cooler and oil filter were destroyed by impact and fire. There was no evidence of pre-mishap metal contamination observed at the oil suction screen or rocker box areas when opened for examination.
The carburetor was displaced from the engine and the portion that remained attached at the mounting pad was secure. The fuel bowl and float assemblies were destroyed. The throttle remained secure at the control arm of the carburetor. The mixture control was destroyed. The fuel pump was partially consumed and destroyed resulting from the thermal effects of the post impact ground fire. The fuel pump mounting flange remained attached at the mounting pad. The two mounting bolts remained in place and properly safety wired.
The two bladed fixed pitch propeller remained attached at the crankshaft flange. The spinner was crushed aft and remained attached to the propeller. The propeller blades remained attached to the propeller hub. The propeller blades displayed leading edge gouging, torsional twisting, chordwise striations across the cambered surface and trailing edge "S" Bending. The signatures were consistent with the absorption of rotational forces applied at the crankshaft at the time of impact.
The aircraft wreckage was released to the owner's representative on October 28, 2004. No components were retained.
The pilot's failure to maintain clearance from high terrain while maneuvering. A factor contributing to the accident was the high terrain.

The rhetoric from candidates like Sanders, Warren and even Biden echoes the fervor of the climate change activists backing the Green New Deal.
Democratic presidential candidates like Washington Gov. Jay Inslee have been increasingly assertive in their rhetoric over climate change. | Paul Sancya/AP Photo
Democratic White House hopefuls are getting increasingly aggressive on climate change — and calling for oil, gas and coal producers to pay for their role in climbing temperatures, rising seas and catastrophic weather.
The sharpened tone includes former Vice President Joe Biden's promise to "take action against fossil fuel companies," as well as Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' charge that the businesses committed "criminal activity" by knowingly producing the greenhouse gases that worsen climate change. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren proposes legislation that could pave the way for lawsuits against the companies, while Washington Gov. Jay Inslee has accused fossil fuel producers of "killing people" and New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand wants to create a fossil fuel "excise tax."
The rhetoric echoes the fervor of climate change activists who have pushed Democrats to embrace an ambitious "Green New Deal" that would wean the U.S. off fossil fuels in a decade or more, and comes amid lawsuits from states, cities and citizens accusing the companies of hiding evidence that their products are harming the planet.
But Republicans say they welcome the trend, too, accusing Democrats of pushing a radical attack on an industry that has provided one of the brightest spots in the economy and has reduced U.S. dependence on foreign oil.
"The deeper and the longer the Democrats talk about this, the happier the Trump campaign is," said Ford O'Connell, a Republican strategist who speaks regularly with the White House and President Donald Trump's reelection effort. "They see fodder not so much in the issue but in the solutions being proposed by the Democrats." MORE

My apologies up front as I'm not very familiar with EDI processing.
One of our branches uses a Third Party Shipping company for managing inventory. As part of the process, the 3PL is responsible to manufacture a certain number of kitted items (prebuilt special packs, sales literature, starter packs).
Is it possible, using EDI, to create a work order request with the parent and child information? for instance, I want to put two widgets in a bag. The request should show to build 600 of SKU 9999 for the Super Value Widget set as the parent, 1234 as the child item for the Widget with a quantity of 2 per.

The guest speaker at the May meeting was Alan Wilkinson, Managing Director of the successful East Anglian based WPP Architects, who gave a fascinating illustrated tour of contemporary architecture in Suffolk. As well as being a general practitioner, Alan has been a part time tutor at Oxford Brookes and a part time lecturer at Suffolk College.
The next meeting of Diss U3A will be on Thursday 5th June, commencing at 10.30, at Diss United Reform Church.
The guest speaker, Pip Wright will talk on the subject ''Frolic, Fervour and Fornication".
For further information on Diss U3A please visit the website.
Diversity in design was reflected in buildings such as Heron House in Aldeburgh, the interior of Lowestoft College, social housing in Ipswich, the Dune House at Thorpe Ness and the 'Balancing Barn' (reminiscent of the bus in 'The Italian Job').
Alan explained the principles of modern architecture such as 'form follows function', lifestyle, context and environmental impact. One example of green building is Bradfield Woods Visitors' Centre, a timber framed building with extremely low carbon emissions.
Alan worked for Birkin Haward in 1971 and was inspired by his H design for Ipswich College and the 'brise soleil' effect as seen in Rushmere Hall School.
In modern architecture, Alan quotes Vitruvius's motto: 'firmitas, utilitas et venustas", translated as "commodity, firmness and delight". He believes these are the essential ingredients of modern architectural design. For example, the EACH Hospice in Ipswich is a serene, elegant and non-institutional building whilst the originality and humour of the 'Sliding House' cannot fail to delight.

Husband appreciation is an important part of loving our husbands. Appreciation is such a vital element of a healthy life. Sometimes our tendency is to focus on the bad rather than the good. But the truth is that we benefit when we have a grateful attitude.
Recently I read an article in Psychology Today that talked about multiple studies done related to gratitude and grateful people.These studies found that gratitude actually improves physical and psychological health. Grateful people reported less aches and pains, increased happiness, and a reduction in depression.
My Experience with Husband Appreciation
3 months ago my mother was in the hospital and I had to spend a few nights with her. It just so happened that this was during an extremely busy season of life. My husband helped me by cleaning the house while I was with my mother. Exhausted from my overnight stay at the hospital, I walked into a sparkling clean house. I was delighted and I told my husband how wonderful he was and how much I appreciated him.
Then he told me he had also done laundry. My husband has never done laundry and I am pretty picky about the laundry. I had a moment of inner panic. I went to the washing machine and looked at a variety of colors and kinds of clothing all washed together. For one crazy moment in time I wanted to be upset about the way he washed the clothes. Then reality hit me. My husband had worked really hard to help me by cleaning the house. I knew I had to make a decision to let that go and be thankful for all the good he had done and not focus on the one thing that wasn't exactly how I would have done it.
What gets in our way of husband appreciation?
I think it is what we choose to focus on. It's that age old trick of the devil that we read about in Genesis 3. The serpent who was the most cunning beast of the field, takes us to the one thing that is not the way we want it and gets us to focus on that rather than all the good that we have in our life. If we take the bait, he steals from us. But when we stay determined to keep our eyes focused on the good things, we will find that our life, our marriage, our husbands, and we, ourselves, will be much better because of it.
Here is a Bible verse that should motivate thankfulness in our hearts and lives as believers.
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:57
Whatever situation we find ourselves in, through Jesus, we are given the victory. That's pretty amazing. And definitely cause for us to be thankful people.
A Gratitude Journal prioritizes a heart of thankfulness.
A friend of mine once told me how she strove to live her life with an attitude of gratitude as one of her top priorities. I loved how she did this. She kept a gratitude journal and at the end of every day she wrote in her journal all the things that she had to be thankful for. She said she didn't journal any other thoughts, but she just listed things she was grateful for that day.
Emphasize your husband's good traits every day.
Another friend shared how she wanted to learn to be a grateful wife. She knew husband appreciation was very important for the health of her marriage so she made a long list of her husband's good traits. And each day, she would take something off that list and make sure that she really emphasized her thankfulness to her husband regarding that special quality in him. It did not take her husband long to respond in ways that she was thankful for. Her efforts and her thankfulness motivated him to love her more and show her more.
Being thankful is an important part of a true and healthy relationship, whether with our God or our spouse. Today we talked about a couple of ways that we can intentionally practice gratitude in our life towards God and toward our spouse. Being thankful and living with an attitude of gratitude is definitely counterculture. Appreciating our husbands is also counter culture, but all of this is beneficial.
So dear sister in Christ, let's change the culture. Let's strive to be and learn to be thankful women who express our gratitude.
Watch our CounterCulture Husband Appreciation Video.

President Obama's newest campaign tool has been providing laughs all week in conservative circles. This is hardly surprising, as The Life of Julia meme, in addition to being short-sighted and factually inaccurate, almost seems to have been made for ridicule. There's something in it for everyone to laugh at, and although not everyone can agree on just what it is that's wrong with the poor Julia's life, everyone agrees that something is wrong.
A little perusal of the web results in a smorgasbord of takes concerning the debacle of Julia from conservative bloggers and columnists. The most prominent of these seem to be:
Julia gets some awesome benefits, but the national debt skyrockets as a result of them, leaving her future uncertain.
Julia has a better life under conservative leadership.
Julia gets some awesome benefits alright, but she doesn't represent the average American woman.
Julia gets some awesome benefits, but what about the men in her life?
Julia gets no awesomeness and no benefits.
Julia gets some awesome benefits and you and I pay for them.
The Obama campaign failed to consider some less desirable things that Julia will get.
Julia may or may not get awesome benefits, but the whole thing is so laughable I don't even want to think about it! Make the stupid people go awayyy…..
Julia gets some awesome benefits…..for a citizen in an Orwellian 1984 regime.
Upon further consideration, what Julia gets isn't that awesome after all.
A number of these conservative responses are spot-on and insightful and even many liberals have weighed in against the Obama campaign on this one, but I'd like to spend a few moments considering a possibility for the Julia saga that I'm not seeing discussed as much as I'd like to, and that I think may be the most likely possibility of all:
What if Julia gets some awesome benefits for the price of her liberty?
Let's suppose for a moment that the highly improbable is, in fact, true: that the champions of fiscal sanity and personal responsibility are wrong and that President Obama is not only altruistic but also correct in his figuring and that Julia gets awesome benefits. Let us suppose that Julia gets government money to be enrolled in a Head Start program and that the program actually works and improves her three-year-old learning skills immensely, vaulting her into the world of grade school education with a bang. Let us suppose that Julia's high school gets government money via Obama's new Race to the Top program which also shocks everyone by actually working. Let us suppose that this money really does improve her SAT scores and that Julia also qualifies for President Obama's American Opportunity tax credit and a Pell Grant, breezing through college, except for a short interlude during which she undergoes surgery that is covered by Obama's healthcare plan.
And so on.
In short, let us suppose that everything goes right for Julia as she waltzes through life under the protective shadow of her government's wings. Even so – even in this very unlikely paradise of Obama's to which we have committed Julia – I would not want what Julia has, for Julia has got all of this at the expense of the most precious civil right she possesses: her right to be right when the government is wrong.
Because it's all well and good to be dependent on an altruistic governmental system you adore. If you are of one mind with your nation's ruling powers, there is, theoretically, little reason to object to the concept of a shared money-bag and no fear of a future state of involuntary servitude to scare you away from the benefits of having all things in common.
The question is, what about when the system that claims a desire to nurture and nourish you is one with which you fundamentally disagree? Is it truly wise or even sane to support the burgeoning and swelling of such a system by feeding into its open jaws more and more responsibility for your life?
The question is, how is Julia going to break away from her protector and her supplier when he demands of her things she cannot in good conscience do? And the answer is that we don't have to look far to find ample examples of the bondage that results from a people's exaggerated dependence upon their government.
How is Julia going to respond when her healthcare provider insists that her web design company pay for her employees' abortions or allocates her funds for the purpose of research utilizing aborted fetal cells? Who is likely to get the upper hand: Julia's health or Julia's conscience? What is she going to do when her privacy is violated by airport and train station security officials at every checkpoint? Who is likely to get the upper hand: Julia's need to travel (to visit her aging parents, and to keep her job) or her privacy? What will she do when her children are subjected against her will through the public education system to ideological indoctrination concerning family, homosexuality, sex ed, political science, religion, history and everything in between? What will she do if she wishes to liberate her children from an education system she finds ineffective and abhorrent and to homeschool them but isn't permitted to by her government? Who is likely to get the upper hand: Julia's relatively comfortable lifestyle or Julia's conscience and her children?
I know not what course others may take, but it seems to me that handouts and awesome benefits pale in comparison with the freedom to think and to abide according to my convictions and to do business and raise children in the way that I see fit and to keep myself from becoming tethered to the manipulative and unstable monster that is government.
Upon further consideration, what Julia gets isn't that great after all.

Brock Lesnar
July 12, 1977 in Webster, SD
6'4, 294 lb
The Next Big Thing
Brock Lesnar grew up as a farm boy in the small town of Webster, South Dakota, but farming wasn't the path that Lesnar would follow. Instead, he turned his attention to wrestling, but initially not the professional ranks where he would later gain fame.
Lesnar, instead, excelled in the amateur ranks. After winning a National Junior championship at Bismarck (North Dakota) Junior College in 1998, Lesnar transferred to the University of Minnesota. After two Big 10 championships, he became an NCAA National Wrestling Champion in 2000.
Upon graduating from the University of Minnesota, Lesnar received, but turned down, offers from TB Buccaneers and Washington Redskins to play football. Instead, his interest piqued in pro wrestling after watching the WWE, Lesnar decided to sign with WWE in June 2000.
Assigned to the WWE's developmental territory, Ohio Valley Wrestling, Lesnar teamed with another former amateur standout, Shelton Benjamin. Together, the pair was dubbed the "Minnesota Stretching Crew". In February, 2001, the Crew defeated the Disciples of Synn to begin the first of three reigns as OVW Tagteam Champions.
However, with Lesnar's size and agility, the WWE soon decided he was ready to be called up to the WWE. On October 3rd, Lesnar worked his first WWE house show, which took place in Winnipeg against Chris Kanyon.
Lesnar would arrive on WWE television screens on March 18th 2002, the day after Wrestlemania XVIII. During a Raw broadcast, Lesnar stormed to the ring during a Hardcore match and beat up Maven, Spike Dudley and Al Snow.
Lesnar would make his presence felt by interfering in several other matches. He was quickly dubbed "the Next Big Thing" by manager and mouthpiece, Paul Heyman. He was so impressive that he was draft to the Raw brand as Ric Flair's 8th pick.
After a program against the Hardys, Lesnar defeated Bubba Ray Dudley to qualify for the King of the Ring. He defeated Booker T to advance in the tournament and then, at the pay-per-view itself, defeated Test and RVD to win the 2002 King of the Ring.
A brief feud with King of the Ring finalist Rob Van Dam became a feud with the Undertaker, after Brock turned on 'Taker during a tagteam match against Van Dam and Ric Flair.
After the July 22nd edition of Raw, Lesnar defected to Stephanie McMahon's Smackdown brand. A month later, at SummerSlam 2002, Brock Lesnar defeated the Rock to become the WWE Champion, but while the previous title-holders had moved between Raw and Smackdown, Lesnar decided to remain exclusively on Smackdown, forcing Eric Bischoff's Raw brand to create its own World Championship.
In the fall, Lesnar resumed his feud with the Undertaker, battling and defeating 'Taker in a Hell in A Cell match at October's No Mercy pay-per-view.
Lesnar's first reign as WWE Champion would come to an end at the 2002 Survivor Series. His manager, Paul Heyman, would betray him and help the Big Show unseat Lesnar for the title. Lesnar was so outraged that he disobeyed Stephanie McMahon's orders and was suspended. However, he would receive help from an unlikely source: another former NCAA champion, Kurt Angle. Angle promised that he could get Lesnar's suspension lifted if Lesnar would help Angle regain the WWE title.
At Armageddon, Lesnar was the difference maker and Kurt Angle defeated the Big Show to regain the WWE Championship. However, Angle soon unveiled a surprise of his own: his new manager, Paul Heyman.
At the 2003 Royal Rumble, Lesnar had to defeat the Big Show to gain entry (#29) into the events, and then eliminated the Undertaker to win the match and the right to face the WWE Champion at Wrestlemania.
Of course, in the weeks that followed, Lesnar had to put up with shenanigans from Kurt and Eric Angle, not to mention Team Angle (his former partner Benjamin and Charlie Haas) before getting to Wrestlemania XIX in Seattle.
It would be at Wrestlemania XIX that Lesnar would show the world his ability to perform a shooting star press...and almost break his neck in the process. Despite the injury, Lesnar managed to finish the match...and defeat Kurt Angle for the WWE Championship.
After becoming WWE Champion, Lesnar feuded with the Big Show. During on broadcast in June 2003, Lesnar delivered a superplex on the Show that broke the ring. But perhaps the biggest surprise was that, upon his return, Kurt Angle teamed with former foe Lesnar. At least until July's Vengeance pay-per-view when Angle won a Triple Threat match to end Lesnar's second title reign.
The next week on Smackdown, Lesnar turned on Angle after a tag match against the Big Show and A-Train. He even menaced both Zach Gowan and Stephanie McMahon. However, after an Iron Man match on Smackdown on September 18th, Lesnar was once again WWE Champion when he defeated Kurt Angle 5 falls to 4.
Lesnar would soon surround himself with the likes of Matt Morgan, the Big Show, Nathan Jones and the A-Train as events lead up to Team Lesnar vs. Team Angle at the Survivor Series. Lesnar would also prove himself a monster as he demolished Shannon Moore and Rey Mysterio, Jr.
After retaining the WWE Championship against Hardcore Holly at the 2004 Royal Rumble, Lesnar interfered in the Rumble itself, attacking Bill Goldberg. The attack on Goldberg would come back to haunt Lesnar, however, as Goldberg's interference cost Lesnar the WWE title against Eddie Guerrero at No Way Out.
A match was soon signed between Lesnar and Goldberg for Wrestlemania XX with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin as the special referee. Lesnar did himself no favours when he attacked Austin and, at one point, stole his four wheeler.
However, as the days to Wrestlemania began to dwindle, rumours persisted that Lesnar was on the verge of leaving the WWE and pro wrestling itself, to pursue a career in the NFL. In fact, he had quit the WWE, with his last match being at Wrestlemania.
On April 18th, Lesnar is involved in an accident when his motorcycle collided with a minivan that pulled out in front of him. After having glass removed from his forehead, Lesnar is soon released from the hospital.
He received two tryouts and then is signed as a defensive lineman for the Minnesota Vikings. He received a lot of press for his attempts to make the transition from pro wrestling to pro football but he was cut from the team in August.
Although Lesnar (and fianc�e Rena "Sable" Mero) made a non-wrestling appearance on a New Japan Pro Wrestling card in January 2005, the only headlines he made for a while were over his lawsuit against the WWE in an attempt to get out of his no-compete clause, which doesn't expire until January 2010.
In July 2005, in yet another bizarre turn, Lesnar met with WWE head Vince McMahon in what ultimately was a fruitless attempt to resign with WWE. When negotiations with McMahon and the WWE went nowhere, Lesnar returned to Japan and, on October 8th, 2005, defeated Kazuyuki Fujita and Masahiro Chono to win the IWGP Championship.
Lawsuits continued as the WWE remained committed in its attempt to bar Lesnar from wrestling anywhere in the world. Overall their efforts were fruitless as he continued to defend the title for the promotion while also having several non-title appearances. In July 2006, it was announced that the Minnesota-native had been stripped of the IWGP title by NJPW, citing visa issues as the reason. As Lesnar was still in possession of the physical belt, promoter Antonio Inoki still booked him as a champion in IGF during his final defense against Kurt Angle in June of the following year. The Olympian was successful in his challenge and captured the belt, being recognized by TNA and IGF as the champion at the time. He also challenged the former titleholder to a MMA bout, though this never came to fruition.
During his unofficial IWGP title reign, Brock started to venture into yet another sport, expressing his desire to compete in MMA and fight for the K-1 promotion. His first bout was scheduled for June 2nd of 2007 against the giant Hong-Man Choi who sported a 10-3 kickboxing record as well as one Mixed Martial Arts victory at the time. He was replaced shortly before the fight by Min Soo Kim who held a record of 2-5 in the sport. Lesnar claimed his first victory in MMA by TKO a little over a minute into round one.
After his aforementioned unsuccessful title defense, Brock would focus on his new endeavor and signed with the sports biggest company, the UFC in late 2007. He was matched against former Heavyweight titleholder Frank Mir in only his second fight as a professional. Lesnar dominated the BJJ-black belt from the get go with his wrestling and power but ultimately fell to the Las Vegas-native due to a kneebar. The outcome of the fight was controversial as the Minnesotan had his way with the former champion until a questionable standup halted his momentum. Many simply cited Lesnar's inexperience as a reason for the defeat but even with a 1-1 record, he had made his mark and showed his skills in his first outing for the company.
The newcomer was scheduled to return 6 months later, again against a former champion in his own right, Mark Coleman. In the lead up of the fight however, Coleman injured himself in training and was replaced by Pride FC-veteran Heath Herring who held notable victories over Igor Vovchanchyn and Cheick Kongo. The fight was one-sided from the opening bell and once again the former wrestler was able to showcase his speed, strength and agility in the bout, dropping the Texan in the early seconds of the fight and rushing after him in lightning speed for his size. He dominated his foe on route to a unanimous decision and respectively retired him from the sport.
To the chagrin of many fans, Lesnar's next bout was for the UFC Heavyweight title. With only 3 matches and an overall record of 2-1, many questioned the decision but were silenced when the Minnesotan was able to secure the belt by TKO against UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture at UFC 91. Only one event later, his nemesis and only blemish on his record Frank Mir was able to claim the Interim championship after defeating Antonio Nogueira by TKO, being the first fighter to ever finish the legend by punches. The two would finally square off for a rematch at UFC 100 where Lesnar once again dominated the submission grappler before knocking him out less than two minutes into the second frame. After the match, he went cut a heelish promo against not only his opponent but even sponsors of the event. He was forced to apologize for his remarks at the followup press conference.
Lesnar's second title defense against undefeated prospect Shane Carwin was delayed on multiple occasions due to Brock's long lasting battle with mononucleosis and diverticulitis. During his illness, the Minnesotan received treatment in both Canada and the US and started to publicly slam the Canadian health care system after allegedly experiencing "Third World Treatment". A prognosis of his case suggested that he actually fought Randy Couture while suffering from the intestinal disorder. After multiple delays and cancellations it was determined that Carwin would face Lesnar's nemesis Frank Mir, who bounced back from his defeat with a dominant win over Cheick Kongo, for an Interim title. The two squared off at UFC 111 where Shane Carwin kept a trilogy from happening by obliterating Mir. This marked his twelfth victory on an unblemished record and was the longest fight in his career at 3:48, longer than his last three fights combined.
The Colorado-native challenged Lesnar in his second title defense at UFC 116. He rocked Lesnar early and dominated the first frame with ground and pound and superior striking though he ultimately fell to his own stamina as the champion easily took him down in the second round, after being severely hurt in the first, to secure an Arm-Triangle-Choke for the victory. This not only marked Carwin's first defeat but also the first time any fighter survived the opening frame against the power puncher.
Brock's third and ultimately last title defense came at UFC 121 against yet another undefeated prospect in Cain Celasquez who punched his ticket by dominating Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Ben Rothwell and Cheick Kongo to cement his place in the division. As always, Lesnar hyped the fight by trash talking and playing the heel, even sporting a beard at the fight for the first time. He tasted defeat for the second time in his career after being blown out of the water by the Mexican in a TKO loss in the first round.
Because of his popularity and charisma, Lesnar was chosen to coach the 13th incarnation of The Ultimate Fighter against Junior Dos Santos with a followup fight at UFC 131. His team won the show after Tony Ferguson finished Ramsey Nijem in the finals to secure the victory for team Lesnar but he himself had to withdraw from the fight against the Brazilian as he battled another unexpected outbreak of diverticulitis. He was replaced by Shane Carwin who fell to Dos Santos in his last fight of his career. His opponent however was able to use his momentum to dethrone Velasquez, who won the belt off of Brock, in the followup title bout.
After another absence due to illness, Lesnar was scheduled to return against Alistair Overeem at UFC 141. Though still employed by the Ultimate Fighting Championship, he also appeared in WWE's 2012 version of their video game, even being unofficially billed as a former MMA fighter in the promotion for the game. Brock tasted defeat once more in his fight against the Dutch kickboxer for back-to-back losses and retired from the sport after the match. His foe particularly targeted his body with knees and punches during the bout, leading to an early TKO stoppage. Lesnar left the sport with a record of 5-3 and a title run in less than 5 years.
The Minnesotan returned to his former home, the WWE in April of 2012 against John Cena. His character was largely based on his MMA background and was to bring legitimacy to the company, even being allowed to use real maneuvers in his matches like cutting his opponent with elbow strikes and using a Kimura to break Triple H's arm during a storyline. After his initial debut against Cena, Lesnar went on to feud with Hunter with Paul Heyman on his side. Due to his new contract, Brock rarely made appearances outside of PPVs and was mostly represented by his manager and legal council Heyman on television. After a contract dispute with Triple H that ended in him breaking his arm, he disappeared from the company due to an alleged breach of contract. He returned against the King of Kings at SummerSlam, defeating him with yet another Kimura. He was also used to injure Vince McMahon who was scheduled to undergo surgery for his pelvis and decided to put over Lesnar on his way out. He went on to feud against Helmsley, culminating in a match at Wrestlemania with the latter's career on the line. He ultimately lost the bout but went out on top in a follow up steel cage match at Extreme Rules to end the feud.
After his storyline against management, Lesnar assisted Heyman in his turn against protege CM Punk. The two attacked each other on multiple occasions before Brock made an official statement, beating CM Punk in a No-DQ match at SummerSlam 2013.

Internship History
2014 JJ Vance Interns
Eleven of South Florida's brightest high school seniors successfully completed a challenging eight-week summer internship program at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine's John P. Hussman Institute for Human Genomics. The 2014 JJ Vance Memorial Summer Internship in Biological and Computational Sciences provided the students a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience and be directly involved in scientific research.
"Part of our mission at the John P. Hussman Institute for Human Genomics is to train the next generation of researchers," said Margaret A. Pericak-Vance, Ph.D., the Dr. John T. Macdonald Foundation Professor of Human Genomics and Director of the Hussman Institute. "We strive to create a passion for science and research."
"We want to enable high school students to experience not only the creativity of science, but understand what career steps it takes to get them there," said Jeffery M. Vance, M.D., Ph.D., professor of human genetics and neurology and Director of the Hussman Institute's Center for Genomic Education and Outreach.
The JJ Vance Memorial Summer Internship in Biological and Computational Sciences incorporates each high school intern into the working research group of a Hussman Institute faculty member, with daily supervision by a post-doctoral fellow or senior technician. The internship program separates students into two tracks — biological sciences and computational sciences.
The interns who participated in the biological sciences track of the internship were introduced to a variety of molecular laboratory techniques while working with DNA, RNA and stem cells, including polymerase chain reaction (PCR), DNA purification methods, gel electrophoresis, DNA sequencing by capillary electrophoresis and Taqman allelic discrimination assays. Those who participated in the computational sciences track of the internship became familiar with programming, bioinformatics and statistical analysis methods currently used in genetics.The interns pooled data from their time spent at the Hussman Institute and worked with their faculty mentors, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and senior technicians to make sense of their findings and prepare an oral presentation.
On August 8, the 11 interns presented and shared their results at a research luncheon attended by dozens of friends, family members, teachers, mentors, Hussman Institute staff, and fellow interns.
"I was really excited to be able to present what we learned to everybody who played a part in our journey," said Giovanni Chiarella, a 2014 JJ Vance intern and student at North Miami Senior High School. "I'm really proud of everything that we got to accomplish these eight weeks."
"I know this internship has left me with skillsets that not only apply at the bioinformatics level, but will help me throughout the rest of my schooling and into my career," said Antonio Menarde, a 2014 JJ Vance intern and student at Archimedean Upper Conservatory.
Drs. Vance and Pericak-Vance began the internship program in 2002 at Duke University, in memory of their son, Jeffery Joseph (JJ) Vance, and brought it with them when they relocated to the University of Miami. The Vances have seen a dramatic growth in local interest since they first established the internship at UM. In 2009, six students applied for five possible positions. In 2014, 63 exceptional students from 30 high schools in Miami-Dade and Broward counties applied for the internship.
The 2014 JJ Vance Memorial Summer Internship was made possible with funds from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the JJ Vance Foundation, the Hussman Foundation, and other generous donors.


text: How To Get The Most From an Unexpected Inheritance Written by Kim Kiyosaki Read time: ... Original post date: May 03, 2012 What would you do with a financial windfall? It's estimated that more than $41 million will be transferred to heirs over the next 50 years, according to the Center on Wealth and Philanthropy at Boston College. Of course, much of that money will come from the already, very-wealthy families. It will be interesting to see how that number plays out given the dramatic economic changes throughout the world. An article featured in USA Today titled, "How to get the most from an unexpected inheritance." picked up on this statistic. They focused on the question of what should people do if the come into an unexpected amount of money. Here are the six tips several financial planners put forth. Take your time. Don't make any major decisions until you've consulted with a financial planner, a certified public accountant and an attorney. Don't quit your day job, at least not right away. Instead, keep your job and invest the money with the assumption that it will generate a 4% return each year which you can withdraw annually. Be discreet. Don't tell everyone, especially family and friends how much you have, or you may get plenty of tips and investment pitches from them. Address pressing financial needs first. Before you invest any money, pay of all credit card debt, student loans and other high-interest debt. Pay attention to taxes. Take into account that your inheritance may push you into a higher tax bracket requiring you to pay more in taxes. Be true to your values. In other words, don't let the money change you. Use it to further your core values. Do you agree or disagree with this financial advice? The question is… if a financially-illiterate family member or friend received an inheritance they had not planned on, what words of wisdom and financial education knowledge would you pass along to them? Talk it over amongst yourselves and provide your insights below. And if you have no idea what you would do with an inheritance, check out our free, financial education resources here to start learning. Original publish date: May 03, 2012

What does payment service provider mean?
A third party that facilitates and helps merchants in the accepting of payments, also known as a Merchant Services Provider or PSP. In online shopping, the PSP will provide various methods of payment including direct debit, bank transfer, real-time bank transfers using online banking, and credit card. Basically they bring everything together to allow a merchant to accept credit cards, and do so in a seamless fashion that makes the entire process transparent to customers and stress-free for merchants.
A PSP can connect to multiple acquiring banks as well as payment and card networks. By enlisting the services of a PSP, the merchant becomes less dependent on financial institutions to manage transactions, since the PSP can managing bank accounts as well as relationships with the external network.

Therapy isn't just about starting but about also getting to the finish line! I have several spots now available. Contact me for office sessions, online sessions, or available groups.
My name is Mindy Ross and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in the state of Texas. I enjoy working with local clients in my office and clients throughout the state online with e-counseling.
I work with couples at any stage of their relationship, families at all development levels, and individuals who want to target specific areas of personal change. Wherever you are located in Texas, we can meet because sessions are scheduled and provided online with your computer, tablet, or smartphone allowing for privacy for you and your loved ones. All online sessions are provided through WeCounsel.
I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and depression. I would be happy to talk with you about your experiences and we can determine together if I am the best fit for you.
Nervous about therapy?
It may be that you've had a bad experience with therapy in the past or never gone before. It makes sense to be nervous at the thought of telling a total stranger your most private thoughts and feelings. I believe that therapy should feel much like a conversation, therapy shouldn't be extremely stressful. I am comfortable with working with any culture, religion/spirituality, and sexual orientation. I am more than happy to talk with you about your needs, and if we determine you need a therapist with a different skill set, I will make every effort to find you a therapist in your area!

1 head garlic (minced)
1 corn oil
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp parsley (chopped)
1 tbsp salted butter
Pinch of salt
Grated cheese
1. Wash and boil the potatoes. It usually takes around 10-15 minutes to cook but you can always check the potatoes with a fork. The cooking times also depends on the size of the potatoes. And try not to get it overcooked.
2. Drain the potatoes and let cool water run down to it. Once cooled, you can cut the potatoes in half. This can allow more flavor in. Don't peel.
3. Heat oil and toast garlic until golden brown. Drain oil. Set aside.
4. Mix halved potatoes, olive oil, salt and 2/3 of the toasted garlic and 2/3 of the chopped parsley. Let it sit for a couple of minutes.
5. Heat pan and melt the butter. Add in the potato mix and add some grated cheese. Turn off the heat once the cheese melts. Remove from heat and transfer it on a serving plate.
6. Garnish with the remaining cheese, garlic and parsley. Serve.
I hope you try and enjoy my Cheese and Garlic Potato recipe as much as you have enjoyed my other recipes like Kangkong with Oyster Sauce and Fried Rice Fiesta. Please share your comments and suggestions below!
