The next day at work I was tortured with excitement. I wanted to see the boy who wanted to see me. I had forgotten what it was like to be so excited about someone that I got distracted at work. I was so smiley and spacey that one of my lunch ladies asked me if I was "enamorada." Burton expressed similar excitement to see me. I was happy.
Rejecting his offer to pick me up in a cab, I walked to meet Burton at Green Zebra. Frankly, as a person whose life, love and work revolved around food, I was a bit of a restaurant novice. This restaurant was a bit fancier than I was used to. There were lots of angles in minimalist shades of gray and green. It wasn't what one might call "cozy." It made me slightly uncomfortable. On top of that, Burton had arrived before me and his greeting was without the enthusiasm he'd suggested earlier in the day.
Admittedly, I wasn't fashionable and didn't keep up with new trends or anything innovative of any sort. Mousey and traditional were words I could relate to; edgy and swank, I could not.
Having several designer friends, I was hyper-aware of how dated my tastes were. Being in this restaurant made a normally confident me feel self-conscious. I suddenly felt like Burton was judging my flowery dress and my eight-year-old wool coat. Not to mention my cardigan that may or may not have been pilling but was definitely revealing my age. I felt awkward and it showed.
We checked our coats and the hostess showed us to our table.
Burton ordered a bourbon. I ordered a vodka soda. We were both completely sober and the conversation suffered for it.
To distract us from the uncomfortable silence, we went over the menu and made our selections:
Hen of The Woods Mushroom Pâté, Vidalia onion marmalade, herb butter
Creamy Sunchoke Soup, Granny Smith apple, preserved lemon, pine nuts, German thyme
Eggplant and Tofu Dumplings, Sweet Chili Sauce, Poblano Pepper, Savoy Cabbage
Creamy Polenta, Bee Balm, Tuscan Kale, Honey Mushroom, Tropea Onion
Pretentious dinner. But it was delicious.
Instead of having a real conversation, we talked about the pâté.
"If this is all vegetarian, what do you think that layer of fat is?"
"Butter? Is this one of the vegan options?"
"I don't think so. It's not quite as stiff as I had hoped."
He asked me about my job and food.
"I'm not a food snob, I'm just more aware of certain things. Like there's this place on Chicago where I've eaten countless breakfasts and I always order eggs benedict. Then, after making hollandaise sauce a thousand times I went back there and realized that they made their hollandaise from a powder. It was disappointing."
"Yeah. I can do whatever I want."
"Do you eat the food?" This was a question I'd never been asked but always had a fear of not being prepared for — and I wasn't. People didn't understand that this was a job I sought out.
"Most of the time, but we serve a lot of chicken and I don't eat chicken." What I should have said was 'Well, I made the food. It'd be pretty awful if I wouldn't eat the food I serve to the kids.' I wasn't doing much for my cause or my self-esteem. He clearly had no respect for what I did. I failed myself in this conversation.
We talked about my old job writing TV news and how it wasn't satisfying because it wasn't about reporting the story as much as it was about reporting it first for ratings.
He relayed a story about a childhood friend was murdered outside a restaurant. He told me how the reporters were desperate to talk to the victim's family. The family wanted to grieve but the reporters were so persistent that the father gave in and talked to one reporter from the NBC station. He said one of the reporters from WGN got angry and threw a fit.
"It was infuriating that she had disregarded the fact that his daughter was murdered."
I could understand his point, but I was horrified by his story.
"You tell me terrible stories. I'm starting to think you might be damaged."
It was a very direct statement, but true.
"What other stories have I told you?"
Uncomfortable with my knowledge, I said, "Something about an ashtray.. and a cutting board."
"I told you that?"
"Yes. Yes, you did. You don't remember?"
"I had a lot to drink yesterday. But even sober, I have a bad memory."
When the soup came, the conversation got better. Slightly.
I tasted the soup. "Ohh spicy!" I said.
"You like spicy?"
"I love spicy."
"Indian food?"
"I love Indian food."
The polenta and the dumplings came at the same time. They probably couldn't save the conversation, but they saved me.
"I love dumplings. I will take just about anything wrapped in dough," I told him. "Oh. But this polenta. Oh my god."
I needed to google bee balm and Tropea onion, but I knew that whatever they were they created magic.
Unfortunately, the magic in my mouth wasn't that of the Blarney Stone.
Seeing the pleasure I was getting from the polenta, Burton said, "You take the rest of the polenta and I'll take the rest of the soup."
We skipped dessert and I invited him over to my house with the caveat that my entertainment system was very 90s and that I still owned a VCR. He was comically exasperated with me and shook his head, but accepted the invitation.
When we got to my house, it was still awkward. This was an honest-to-goodness first date.
We sat on the couch for a while and chatted. I was dying for him to touch me, but he wouldn't, adding to my insecurity. I introduced him to my cat. He had a blind cat, so it was an easy topic. And then we moved on to cat vHatchs, which I made him watch. I could tell he wasn't excited about the Henri Paws de Deux or Maru, but I couldn't figure out how to move the conversation to something -anything- else.
As it got closer to 10:30, he still hadn't groped me the way I wanted him to so I said, "Well, this was a very nice evening."
"Is that your way of saying you're kicking me out?"
I smiled and said, "I have to go to bed."
He still hadn't touched me and he got up from the couch to put on his shoes and coat. He hugged me and kissed me the way I wanted to be kissed, but nothing more. And there was no mention of making future plans.
After he left, I washed my face and brushed my teeth, but before I put on my pajamas, I texted, "That was a lovely evening. Thank you."
He responded with, "You're welcome. Lovely, indeed. Sleep well."
And so I did.

Money continues to trickle in from Amazon, eBay and Half. All of the money I have earned this month, except for $15, is from bank interest and sales through Amazon. I have several items up on eBay right now with watchers, so we'll see how they do as the auctions close. I have also been selling Catie's DVDs - the money from them isn't a lot, and we'll be splitting it 50/50, but hey - every penny helps!
Unfortunately with this month comes three major gifts to buy... ah well, these things happen! Two of them I am going to be able to save money on by using ebates. Here's an example: I have a Barnes and Noble membership card which gets me 10% off purchases. In addition, I can get 4% rebate with eBates, and combining those together will really help!
The other spot of good news was that $15 was a refund check from a doctor appointment I had awhile back. I am not entirely sure how that worked out, but something must have changed since I changed insurance companies. In any case, any extra checks are always welcome!
So, one of the things I have been thinking about lately is an article I read over at The Simple Dollar. Here's a quote from it:
In Your Money or Your Life, Joe Dominguez hits upon the idea perfectly on page 27 with his description of a "gazingus pin": "A gazingus pin is any item that you just can't pass by without buying. Everybody has them. They run the gamut from pocket calculators and tiny screwdrivers to pens and chocolate kisses."His gazingus pin is books - so is mine. Apparently it is a lot of other people's as well - Wow did he stir up some controversy when he decided to give up buying them for a year!
I thought about his challenge, but you know, since I have started this blog and started watching my pennies - I don't have as much of an urge to shop. There once was a time when I'd walk into a bookstore and regularly spend $150. Now that just isn't likely to happen - especially since seeing how inexpensive books are on Half.com and Amazon. I tell you, I am not likely to ever pay full price for a book again! Some people who know me well would say that my other gazingus pin was shoes - but there was a difference. I could easily walk into a shoe store and not buy shoes, not so much with bookstores.
I don't think I have a gazingus pin anymore. That isn't to say once things settle down, that couldn't change, but I don't see it in my life right now. I rarely even go places where I can spend money. So, I was trying to think of a challenge for myself, one that would effect my bottom line, be a challenge, and could help my spending habits - and I found it - groceries. Now is the best time to shop the farmer's market, and the market is the one place I don't mind spending extra money. I love buying locally raised, fresh produce - plus it tastes better and is healthy for me. This time of year the market is bursting with great food, and I love taking advantage of it.
However, I realize that my pantries are pretty well stocked. I really don't need much right now, and yet still, I go to the market every Saturday morning. My goal is to see how long I can go without buying groceries for myself. I want to try to eat down the cupboards as far as I can this month. I already went shopping on the 1st, so I think I am stocked on staples - so let's see how I can do.
I will make two exceptions - 1) if people are coming over and I buy something for them and 2) if I need to bring something somewhere and don't have ingredients on hand.
Once the cupboards are bare, I will go back to shopping again!
What challenges are you undertaking right now? What kind of goals are you working on?

That is right, today is the second day of 2015. How cool is that? I think it is extraordinary and I am really excited, but why? Ahh, thanks so much for asking, I would love to tell you. I am excited because of what for me the new year represents. See I say for me because new year or year is so subjective.
Being the super geek or nerd that I am I actually read up on the history or origin of the New Year celebration. Learning an institutions origin has always interested me and has helped me wrap my mind around the whole thing. I encourage you to do the same with New Years. I am not sure what you will take away there is a lot to be said about New Years. Some very interesting facts like the origin of the ball drop
"The actual notion of a ball "dropping" to signal the passage of time dates back long before New Year's Eve was ever celebrated in Times Square. The first "time-ball" was installed atop England's Royal Observatory at Greenwich in 1833. This ball would drop at one o'clock every afternoon, allowing the captains of nearby ships to precisely set their chronometers (a vital navigational instrument)."
Interesting right? What I have taken away most from my semi deep dive into the New Year holiday is this' Time itself only matters as much as we allow it to. Think about it for a second. Let the idea seep in. It will begin to make sense. Maybe a better way to make sense of the later statement is a quick mind exercise. Conjure up images of the most vibrant senior citizens you know. The guys or gals who are sharp witted and can school the "youngsters" in raquetball and golf. Now imagine the 36 year old that has done his or her share of "hard living". You know the type, defeatist attitude every step comes with a groan and they exert as little effort as possible. Now does the statement make sense? "Time itself only matters as much as we allow it to." I would like to add to the statement. "Time itself only matters as much as we allow it to, and how will allow it to."
The power of grattitude has been documented.
"The University of California Berkeley recently announced a $3.1 million research study on the power of gratitude. Through their Greater Good Science Center, they study the psychology, sociology, and neuroscience of well-being and how we foster a more thriving, resilient, and compassionate society."
See? Time really doesn't exsist at least not in a physical way. The events that happened 3 days ago only happened three days ago because society has agreeded on the definition of a day and a year and a month and an hour and a second. This agreement gives me hope for society. If man and woman can get together and agree on time what else can we do working together? Peace? Clean up the enviroment? Flyimg cars? Anything is possible. I am choosing to be thankful for the oppurtunity to be part of what Man and women are calling 2015 and will do my best to contribute and enjoy every second of 2015 I encourage you to do the same.
Happy new year!!

Article from the Sunday Paper:
CDC announces Morgellons investigation in early 2008
By Stephanie Ramage
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will begin an investigation of the mysterious condition known as Morgellons disease in February or March, according to a CDC spokesman.
The CDC investigation, prompted in part by thousands of letters sent to members of Congress by people who believe they have Morgellons, will be done in partnership with Kaiser Permanente.
Dave Daigle, spokesman for the CDC, says Kaiser Permanente was chosen in November to work on the investigation because of its huge patient database. The initial part of the investigation, all of which will be conducted in California, will require the KP team to comb through records to find patients who have complained of symptoms associated with Morgellons. The second part of the investigation will consist of asking those patients to fill out a questionnaire and allow KP and CDC staffers, in addition to other investigators from the American Dermatology Association and the National Armed Forces Pathology Institute, to take blood and tissue samples.
California was chosen for the investigation because there have been more reports of Morgellons in that state than any other. Florida and Texas account for the second and third highest incidence of what sufferers believe to be Morgellons. California, Florida and Texas are also the nation's most populous states.
At present, KP is working on a set of protocols that outline the strategy that will be used in the investigation. The protocols will be submitted to the CDC's Institutional Review Board by January.
Daigle acknowledges that there has been a great deal of frustration among those who claim to have the illness, which the CDC presently categorizes as "unexplained dermopathy." Since the CDC originally said it would look into the condition in June 2006, those who claim to have it have complained that the CDC has been "dragging its feet" on the promised investigation.
"But this is not like Ebola," says Daigle, "where you can send a team parachuting into the jungle to take care of it." That's because Morgellons is widely dismissed as delusional parasitosis within the medical community. "Delusional parasitosis" is the term used to describe the condition of believing one has bugs crawling on or under one's skin. It's considered a symptom of mental illness. And so the CDC faces the unusual challenge of finding out if a condition reported by an estimated 10,000 people (according to the Morgellons Research Foundation), but usually dismissed by medical professionals as a delusion, actually exists.

You'll come to know that I adore everything about Gigi Hadid. She's a major style icon and her outfits at the beginning of 2018 alone, are clear reasons why. Gigi completed Paris fashion week making every outfit look utterly amazing. The fact that anything and everything she wears looks so flawless should quite frankly be wrong. Most of the outfits would look so disastrous on myself but hey, that's why I'm a Digital Marketer and not a Victoria Secret model, though I can still dream.
Let's Take A Look
Thoughts on your favourite look? Though each look is a beautifully bold, fashion statement, my favourite has to be the tomboyish look when out and about with sister, Bella Hadid.

Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner both bring artistry to their work as two of the NHL's young offensive stars. They have both danced around a defender or two in their careers.
But those abilities will be tested in a different way Dec. 19 when they perform as celebrity "Cannon Dolls" in the presentation of "The Nutcracker" at the National Ballet of Canada.
Matthews told TSN of Canada he doesn't have ballet experience.
"As far as other (dance) stuff, I'm not terrible," said Matthews, who grew up in Scottsdale, Arizona. "I'm not exactly the most agile person when it comes to dancing, so it'll be interesting to see how I do there."
Using celebrities in the Cannon Doll role is a National Ballet tradition. According to the company's website, the Cannon Dolls are "colorfully costumed" Russian Petrouchka dolls who shoot a confetti cannon into the audience to begin the battle scene in Act 1.
TSN sportscasters Darren Dreger and James Duthie, Arkells band members Max Kerman and Anthony Carone, and comedian Ali Hassen are among celebrities who will also appear in the role this season.

Matthews (15 goals, 23 points) and Marner (six goals, 39 points) are not the first NHL to play in "The Nutcracker." Winnipeg Jets players Mark Scheifele and Jacob Trouba played a role in the Royal Winnipeg Ballet two years ago.
Matthews told TSN he's "nervous," despite having elementary school stage experience.
"They don't have us dancing in fifth grade, though," Matthews said. "We're just up there doing whatever. Could barely remember my lines."

According to Kentucky DUI laws, individuals with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 percent or higher can be arrested for driving under the influence if they are in control of a motor vehicle, regardless of how much their ability to drive is impaired. This is known as an "illegal per se" provision. If the driver is under the age of 21, the BAC limit is lowered to .02 percent as per the Zero Alcohol Tolerance rule. For those who operate commercial vehicles, the BAC limit is .04 percent.
Implied Consent
Kentucky's implied consent law means that licensed drivers who are suspected of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol must consent to a chemical test to determine their BAC. Refusing to take a test will result in a 30-day driver's license suspension. A second or third refusal will result in at least a one-year license suspension. Jail time is doubled for those who refuse a BAC test and are convicted of a DUI.
DUI Penalties in Kentucky
A first DUI conviction in Kentucky will result in a license being suspended for 30 to 120 days, two to 30 days in jail, a fine of $200 to $500 and 48 hours to 30 days of community service. A second conviction within five years of the first will result in the driver's license being suspended for 12 to 18 months, a fine of $350 to $500 and anywhere from seven days to six months in jail. In addition to these penalties, a driver convicted of a second DUI in Kentucky will have to undergo a one-year alcohol or substance abuse program and 10 days to six months of community labor. For a third DUI conviction, a driver can be sentenced to up to 12 months in jail and pay a fine of between $500 and $1,000. The driver's license can also be suspended for up to 36 months, and he or she may be sentenced to up to 12 months of community labor and spend one year in a substance abuse program. A fourth DUI is a Class D felony that can result in a prison sentence of 120 days, a 60-month license suspension and a fine of up to $1,000.
Aggravating Circumstances
The penalties associated with a DUI can be made worse if aggravating circumstances are present. These aggravating circumstances include driving more than 30 mph over the speed limit, driving with passengers younger than the age of 12, driving in the wrong direction on the road, having a BAC of .15 percent or higher, refusing to submit to a BAC test and causing an accident that results in serious injury or death. These circumstances can cause a prison sentence to increase to 240 days for drivers who are charged with a Class D felony for their reckless behavior.
Changes to Kentucky DUI Laws
Starting in 2010, the BAC limit for aggravated DUI was lowered from .18 percent to .15 percent if the test is taken within two hours of driving. Another new law stated that if a jointly owned vehicle is impounded due to a DUI law violation, the joint owner who was not impaired may have the vehicle transferred to his or her possession.
What Is The Legal Alcohol Limit In Kentucky?
The legal alcohol limit in Kentucky is .08 percent, just as it is throughout the United States. Law enforcement officials typically use a breath or blood test to determine a person's blood alcohol concentration (BAC). Driving under the influence (DUI) charges are usually brought if a person has a BAC above the legal limit.
This BAC limit applies to passenger motorists age 21 and over. A stricter BAC level of .04 percent applies to commercial drivers, and people who are under the legal drinking age cannot have any trace of alcohol in the bloodstream.
DUI penalties in Kentucky are severe. Punishments for standard offenses may include:
- Incarceration. Jail sentences can range from 30 days to one year.
- Fines. A DUI offense may yield a fine of between $500 and $1,000.
- Loss of driving privileges. A license suspension may last between 120 days and 60 months.
Clearly, there is a wide range in of possible punishments under Kentucky DUI law. The precise consequences that a person faces will likely depend upon the number of offenses as well as the perceived severity of a DUI arrest.
Ignition Interlock Requirements In Kentucky
Ignition interlock laws in Kentucky require people convicted of driving under the influence to install DUI-prevention equipment. An ignition interlock device (IID) requires a person to submit to a breath test in order to start a vehicle.
Ignition interlock devices:
- May only be put in by a state-approved vendor
- Require a vehicle owner to pay for installation and maintenance
- Record failed breath tests, data from which can be used to justify more penalties
Some states require IIDs for a first offense and others after a second conviction. Kentucky is among the few states, however, in which IID installation is wholly at the discretion of the judge presiding.
Kentucky DUI Penalties
In Kentucky, you may be charged with a DUI if you have a blood-alcohol concentration that meets or exceeds .08 percent. Since Kentucky is a per se state, a conviction does not require proof that you were impaired while driving. If your driving was impaired by prescription or illegal drugs, you can also be charged with a DUI, even if your BAC is lower than .08. The legal limit for commercial drivers is .04 percent and .02 percent for those under 21 years of age.
Along with standard Kentucky DUI penalties, certain circumstances may cause a DUI to be an aggravated offense and add to the jail time that an individual must serve. These factors include driving 30 mph or more over the speed limit, driving the wrong way, causing injury or death to another individual, refusing a chemical test, having a BAC at or greater than .18 percent and having a child under the age of 12 in a vehicle.
1st DUI Conviction Penalties
Those convicted of a DUI for the first time will face between two and 30 days in jail, and aggravating factors can add four days to their total sentence. Fines between $200 and $500 will be imposed along with all associated court costs. License suspensions can last between 30 and 120 days; although, after 30 days, people may be eligible for a hardship license. Community service may also be ordered, and in some cases, the court will allow people to serve community service in lieu of jail time. Participation in a 90-day drug or alcohol treatment is also required.
2nd DUI Conviction Penalties
If someone is convicted of a second DUI within five years, they will be labeled a repeat offender. They will be required to spend between seven days and six months in jail, with an addition 14 days if it is an aggravated offense. An individual's license will be suspended for between 12 and 18 months, and after 12 months, a hardship license may be granted. In addition to court costs, people are required to pay between $350 and $500 in fines along with completing a full year of a treatment program.
3rd DUI Conviction Penalties
Kentucky DUI Penalties for a third conviction include jail time between 30 days and 12 months with an additional 60 days if there were aggravating factors. The maximum fine for a conviction is $1,000 but not less than $500. An individual's license will be suspended between 24 and 36 months with a possible option of a hardship license after 24 months. One year's participation in a substance abuse program is also required.
4th DUI Conviction Penalties
After three DUI convictions, the charges for a DUI become felony charges. A minimum of 120 days must be served in jail without probation, with an additional 240 days for an aggravated offense, and the maximum sentence is five years. License suspensions will last for 60 months, and there is no option for a hardship license. Fines between $1,000 and $10,000 are imposed, and people must complete one year in a treatment program.

The United States took a commanding 4-0 lead in the 16th minute of the World Cup final when Carli Lloyd scored an absolute stunner from midfield.
The goal came less than 90 seconds after taking a 3-0 lead and it was Lloyd's third goal of the match. One Fox announcer called it "the best goal in women's history!"
Replays showed that the Japan keeper slipped trying to retreat to her goal but still got a hand on the ball. It was not enough.
Getty photographer Dennis Grombkowski caught this incredible shot of the stunned Ayumi Kaihori laying on the ground and watching the ball go to the back of the net.

Our hut to hut splitboarding trips in the high mountains will lead you through some of the most stunning Alpine scenery in either France, Italy or Switzerland. Tours from refuge to refuge are combined with riding some of the best terrain in the area.
The trips will run over 5 days and 4 nights with overnight stays in manned high mountain refuges where you will find a good dinner and a comfy dorm bed awaiting you at the end of each day. This is a trip for fit and experienced splitboarders only who are comfortable with skinning around 1000m + of vertical at altitude and riding long off piste descents each day.
The journey will take you through some truly wild and remote terrain for an incredible mountain experience. As the high altitude splitboarding season generally runs from March until May in the Alps you can expect to ride in varied conditions. The descents will most likely involve riding powder and velvety spring snow but also expect to deal with windblown hardpack, sun affected snow, ice and slush at lower altitudes
It may be that we take you on a mini splitboarding friendly Haute Route tour from France and into Switzerland or perhaps to Italy to summit the 4000m Gran Paradiso mountain The beauty of a Rider Social trip is that we will take you to wherever has the best conditions on that week.
2020 Dates coming soon

text: The British Bankers Association (BBA) has released figures putting July's rise in net mortgage lending into perspective. It points out that, although gross lending reached £14.5bn in July, repayments were also at a record level so net lending was lower than May's increase. 237,500 loans were approved in July, totalling £15.4bn, 16% and 14% respectively more than June. Ian Mullen, chief executive at the BBA, said: 'At first glance, July's figures appear very strong. However, allowing for the effect of the Jubilee holiday in June, and assessing the two months together, suggests that demand, though buoyant, is not continuing to escalate from the peak seen in May.'.

I'm just about finished with the phoneme inventory of a language of mine, and was hoping to illicit some helpful oppinions/criticisms of what I have so far: with C=consonant, then: C=aspirated C`=pharyngealized C'=ejective C,=pharyngealized-ejective p t k q bilabial, dental, velar and uvular stops. p' t' k' q' p` t` k` p, t, k, f f' labiodental fricatives. ts ts' dental affricates (like "splits"). th th' th` th, dental fricatives (like "think"). c c' c` c, alveolar affricates (like "cheese"). s s' s` s, alveolar hisses (like "sleep"). sh sh' post-alveolar hushes (like "shoot"). tl tl' tl` tl, lateral-release alveolar affricates. kl kl' lateral-release velar affricates. r voiced alveolar trill. rh voiceless alveolar trill. l voiced alveolar lateral fricative. lh lh' aspirated and ejective voiceless alveolar lateral fricative. gh qh qh' voiced, voiceless and ejective uvular trill/fricatives. @ H H' voiced, voiceless and ejective pharyngeal fricatives. ! epiglottal stop (ejective pharyngeal stop). X Xh voiced and voiceless epiglottal trill/fricatives. w y bilabial and palatal glides. It hardly seems right to list w and y, since the serve mainly to labialize or palatize and preceding consonant. I'm not sure if I will add nasals. The consonant inventory is already rather large, but I'm OK with that, and I really like all the secondary articulations. However, I'm thinking of adding a really odd series of consonants, just for grins and giggles. They would be P T Q TH S TL (you can guess the primary articulations I'm sure, my transcriptions aren't terribly creative). These would be sort of aspirated-pharyngealized, sort of like the "strident" phonation of !Xoo, but here it would be just a consonantal feature. I'll list the vowels latter, 'cause right now I can't get my keyboard to spell them right. Hope to hear your responses soon. Travis __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I love having this recipe in my back pocket when I've got to create something yummy in a flash. I find great comfort in keeping an Elsie Grace pie crust mix and a jar or two of Grandmas Hoerner's Pie Fillings (apple, cherry, maple pumpkin, or pecan) on hand at all times. #lifesavers
5 Ingredient Apple Butter Pecan Pie
1 Elsie Grace Pie Crust Mix, made according to package directions
1 jar Grandma Hoerner's Apple Pie Filling
1/2 package Butter Pecan Box Cake Mix, dry
1/3 cup chopped pecans
1/3- 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
Put prepared pie crust dough into an 8-9 inch pie plate, crimping pie dough around edge of pie plate in a decorative pattern. Pour filling into prepared crust, then sprinkle dry cake mix evenly over filling; top with pecans, then drizzle butter over all. Bake at 375 degrees F for 35-40 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is set at the center. Let cool before cutting.

Step it up and experience increased WEALTH, VITALITY and EMPOWERMENT in all areas of your life - career, personal fulfillment, relationships. Sue Lundquist helps you achieve YOU 2.0!
Bridge Coaching with Sue
One-on-one, private coaching with Sue Lundquist, helping you bridge the practical with the spiritual for explosive transformation. We'll work directly with your needs and goals in a private coaching program just for you.
The Creating Possibilities Membership Program
Join us to bridge the practical with the spiritual in this group program filled with transformational group coaching, tips, resources, and the private Facebook group just for members.
Join the 16 Day Craziness to Clarity LIVE Challenge
I'll guide you LIVE on Facebook every weekday in the private Facebook group through my Template for Transformation. A proven process to finally find clarity on your purpose, confidence, and personal power... all in one amazing 16 day, LIVE Facebook challenge.
- Elisa Hawkinson
- CM in Bothell
- Kacie
Experience a whole new path to transformation and fulfillment.
Most life coaches are focused on the practical side of life - addressing just the worldly practicalities of living and thinking... without showing you how to bridge over and tap into the spiritual side and the universal energies waiting to propel you to a more fulfilled, connected and successful life in a way you never experienced before.
You already know the potential of this 5D world of possibilities...
You already know there's something more to life than the day to day, mundane experience you go through each day...
But you didn't know how to bridge that gap!
How do you make the leap and connect up this 3D world of daily existence with the 5D world of possibility, energies, and spirit that you can't quite reach?
The Bridge Coach
Where Spirituality meets Practicality
Sue's unique ability is to bridge together the Practical 3D experience with the Spiritual 5D experience to create an explosive personal transformation.
Let's take a look at the rich meaning of the bridge...
Spiritual Bridge Symbolism:
The bridge means progress, connections, and stability that will benefit you. You may get higher salaries, good news all that could cause a positive changes and to have another perspective.
Often people view "bridges" as the only way to reach a destination, and therefore bridges are a way to overcome obstacles. Bridges also represent transitions (aka Transformation).
Practical Bridge Symbolism:
It creates progress, connections, "a way" to reach a destination. Bridges are a way to overcome obstacles (fear and old patterns disguised in many forms). Bridges also link to each other – fostering community.
So what does this all look like when you work with Sue?
You will be creating and sustaining progress, overcoming obstacles, trusting again, and creating stability. You'll create community to foster positive changes and accountability.
This is all accomplished with real life practical tools. These tools and mindset strategies propel your confidence, clarity and purpose so you can get the ideal relationship, Ideal job or a pay raise.
Then creating and sustaining this frequency in the 5D experience (aka universal energies) sets you up for explosive transformation.
Let me explain:
You start by getting clear, powerful, and purposeful in your practical life (3D).
You then express that energy and frequency with clarity, intention, and purpose to the 5D. In so doing, you give Spirit and the Universal energies a GREEN light, a clear intended outcome to bring to you.
This is the bridge that makes this coaching program so unique.
The tricky part to all of this "transformational bridge crossing" is to continue to do the work and sustain the frequency with awareness, mindset strategies, and tools fostered in your practical life so you can get all you create in your spiritual life and universal energies.
That is what I guide you every step of the way to achieve - to bridge that gap with intention and clarity. And to elevate the practical strategies and goals you cultivate by bridging it with Spirit and Universal Energies. Enabling change to happen in multiple dimensions, and as a result with greater results showing up in your day to day life and aspirations.
Whatever your goals, whatever changes you want to make - we help you make them happen together.

Exxon Mobil Corp., Royal Dutch Shell, Chevron, Total and BP together have spent more than $1 billion on public relations since the Paris Agreement.
The world's five largest publicly traded oil companies are increasing their investments in oil and gas, putting a combined $110 billion in new fossil-fuel production.
Meanwhile, those firms are projected to spend just $3.6 billion on low-carbon investments, such as biofuels and renewables, according to a new analysis that Influence Map, a British nonprofit that analyzes corporate influence on climate policy, derived from industry data and numbers buried in company disclosures.
The reckless disparity comes just months after the United Nations warned that the world must rapidly phase out fossil fuel use over the next decade or face catastrophic global warming of at least 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit.

In South Africa, Mothers Day is taken as an opportunity to thank not just mothers but also grandmothers and women who are like mothers. People celebrate this day by spending time with mother and family and enjoying the day the way mother would love to. The second Sunday of May holds an important place in the life of South Africans as they celebrate it with great fervor and happiness. They regard mothers day as an auspicious day, which gives every human being an opportunity to say thanks to his or her mother and appreciate all the efforts she has undertaken for him or her.

Now a days people are so busy with their daily routine and find difficult to spend quality time with family. This busy life has separated people from their families and friends.

Parents are always there for their child to protect him from any bad things and help the child to get good life. So its responsibility of all children to respect their parents.

iTunes U Allows Creation of Class Courses for iPad
Did I mention it's free?
With the new updates for iOS on the horizon, the idea of iPads in the classroom becomes more of a reality. iTunes has developed an application where teachers and professors can share their courses with their students. For free.
Although the coursework would only be available through the iPad platform, students are able to take notes while watching video, check off their tasks as they complete assignments and have their device aggregate notes into specific sections.
The whole course at your fingertips
How sweet would it be to avoid buying a huge textbook and just have it where all your coursework is stored? Pretty sweet. iTunes U integrates iBooks so your books are right next to your assignments, notes, etc.
How sweet would it be to be notified when there is a new assignment posted? Very sweet. iTunes U offers this as well. Students can receive push notifications when new assignments are available and when they receive messages.
Global sharing, global learning
Teachers can invite their students by sharing a URL or code that allows for enrollment. They can only invite 50 students per course if they are not affiliated to their school that has a public iTunes U site.
Not enrolled at a school that has offers courses through iTunes U? No worries. Download the app and check out what prestigious universities such as Yale, Stanford and Oxford are offering.

We have all gone on bad dates. Some of these bad dates are so bad that they can be classified as dating horror stories. Okay, maybe we are overreacting. Most bad dates fall into one of two categories. One, the person doesn't sound or look anything like what you expected. Two, they did or said something outside of acceptable dating behavior, such as they making crude jokes, wearing inappropriate clothes or just being rude.
Unfortunately, going on an occasional bad date is part of the online dating process. However, if you consistently find yourself on disappointing dates, then something is wrong. Yes, you can't control the people you get attracted to you, but you can take steps to be in bad dates less often. Here's how:
1. Know your dates beforehand
Go through tons of emails or several rounds of phone calls while dating online. Doing some preliminary communication will reveal important information about your match. We aren't talking about the basics here. You can learn those by reading someone's profile. Instead, you should know about the more subjective information. Things like: does she have a sense of humor? Does she return calls, texts or emails promptly? If the communication feels slow or off-beat, then it's safe to assume that you both won't have a great connection when you meet.
2. Ask for more photos
Be subtle while doing this. It's not appropriate for you to write to your match that you don't like the existing photos in her profile and she should send you the current ones. Instead, entice your match to share more pictures by sending some of your own. Also, don't forget to include a message while sending the photos. You can write to her that you are hanging out at your friend's barbeque and having fun. Then attach a photo of you showing off your grilling skills, eating a giant burger, or a photo of yourself with your friends. By sharing your life in pictures and words, you will inspire your match to do the same.
3. Pick the right spot and control the conversation
The place you go for the first date can influence whether you feel relaxed and comfortable. Meet your match at a place that's convenient, not crowded, and quiet enough so that you can hear each other. You can't control what your match says, but you can ask relevant questions. Tell engaging stories. Try to enjoy yourself even if your date is a dud. Learn something about her during your time together.
4. Give your match the benefit of the doubt
When it comes to first dates, it's common that she will be late because she was stuck in traffic or her dress got ruined in the rain. Or you have forgotten to reconfirm your reservation at the restaurant and now have to hustle to find a new place. Or you will find her looking a little different compared to how she looked in her profile photo. Whatever the situation, try to deal with it. You should bring the best of yourself to the table. Take control of what you can. Figure out the deal breakers later. No matter how bad the date is, enjoy the dinner, have a pleasant chat and move on.

After dramatic Stephon Clark Friday night protest, two more planned for Saturday
Businesswoman supports Stephon Clark rally as a private citizen, but feels the hurt in her business
A passionate sign-waving, chanting crowd of up to 300 protesters marched for more than four hours through the streets of downtown Sacramento Friday night and early Saturday in angry reaction to the release of a private autopsy that found Stephon Clark was fatally shot eight times by police, including six times in the back.
It was the fourth straight night of protests of Clark's death, and like previous protests, the event was largely nonviolent, though boisterous and at times confrontational.
Police reported no arrests were made and said there were no immediate reports of property damage.
Officers cleared intersections ahead of the demonstrators as the group wound its way from City Hall, past the Golden 1 Center arena, and into Old Sacramento. At one point, the group approached an onramp to Interstate 5, but were blocked from entering the freeway by a line of officers in riot gear. Protesters swore at police before moving off.
"The crowd was not violent," police Capt. Norm Leong said afterward. "The protestors expressed their rights and we tried to assure safety for the community. As long as they were nonviolent, we try to facilitate the protest movement."
Two more social justice gatherings are planned for Saturday in downtown.
An annual 10:30 a.m. gathering in Southside Park commemorating farm labor leader Cesar Chavez Day will be modified this year to incorporate the Clark shooting. Former Sacramento King Matt Barnes is among organizers of another gathering at noon in Chavez Plaza.
Police say they will have a strong presence at the noon event, but expect that event to be nonviolent as well.
The Friday night march, organized by the Sacramento chapter of Black Lives Matter, was spurred by the release earlier that day of a private autopsy conducted by attorneys representing Clark's family. That autopsy showed that Clark had been hit by eight bullets, six of them in his back.
A formal Sacramento County Coroner's autopsy has also been conducted, but results of that review are not yet complete and have not been disclosed. County officials declined to comment on the private autopsy conclusions.
Clark, 22, was shot and killed by two police officers March 18 in his grandmother's backyard in the Meadowview neighborhood of south Sacramento. Police had chased him there after receiving reports of a man breaking car windows. Officers said they thought the cellphone in Clark's hand was a gun, based on body cam footage released three days after the shooting.
The shooting, and others like it, have sparked national outrage and intense discussion about how police confront, and sometimes kill, young black men.
In a Facebook post earlier in the day, the Sacramento Black Lives Matter group called on people to meet at 8 p.m. at City Hall "and go from there."
"We need to HIT THESE STREETS," the post said.
The protest group began marching away from City Hall plaza just before 9:30 p.m. They chanted Clark's name loudly in unison, and, at other times, shouted "F--- Sac PD!" or chanted "The whole damn system is guilty as hell!"
A number of demonstrators were parents with children in strollers. The crowd varied in age and race. Some wore flip flops. Others wore boots and had black masks covering their faces.
Unlike prior protests this week during the evening commute, Friday's protest occurred on a holiday weekend later at night. Protesters encountered few vehicles.
At 10 p.m. the marchers stopped in front of a Bennigan's restaurant on K Street, where a few patrons were eating and drinking. Some of the protesters went into the restaurant, which had its doors open on a warm spring night. One couple jumped on tables and chairs. Bartenders and waitstaff stepped back. An employee at Bennigan's told The Bee she would have liked to join the protests if she weren't working.
The demonstration continued west on K Street toward the basketball arena, where earlier protests had blocked thousands of Kings bans from entering during two previous game nights.
The Kings are scheduled to play the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night. Team officials and the city plan extra precautions in the arena plaza Saturday, similar to plans that enabled fans to get into the arena Thursday night when protesters were in the streets near by.
Just before 11 p.m. the group reached the I Street on-ramp of Interstate 5 and argued among themselves. Some of the more belligerent protesters wanted to confront the dozens of California Highway Patrol officers blocking the ramp. Others kept the protest from becoming physical, although it was confrontational.
Last week, demonstrators reached the north- and south-bound lanes of I-5, blocking evening rush hour traffic in both directions. The CHP has prevented it from happening again.
Eventually the group turned away and marched through the tunnel under I-5 to Old Sacramento, where some bars and restaurants were open. Protesters were denied entry to a karaoke club. One man climbed onto a roof.
Some demonstrators chased a young woman along Old Sacramento's wooden sidewalks. She appeared to be a bar patron who'd had a misunderstanding with protestors who had demanded that she show support by saying Clark's name. Afterward she was shaken and angry.
On the way back to City Hall, around midnight, demonstrators rushed the Kimpton Sawyer Hotel, where security personnel barely locked the doors in time to prevent them entering, while shooing guests up a lobby stairwell. Some protesters made it into an interior corridor, but where pushed back by security, one of them swinging what appears to be a baton at the demonstrators.
A scuffle briefly broke out at one point between Black Lives Matters demonstrators and others in the crowd who were wearing masks. The masked participants had started to tear apart security fencing at Golden 1 Center. But the local demonstrators told them to stop.
Some protesters tried to prevent media from photographing the conflict, at times grabbing cameras or holding up signs to block lenses.
The relative nonviolence of the series of marches has come as a relief to city officials who have urged calm protest, and have repeatedly said they intend to move quickly to review and change police training and practices.
Only four arrests have been made over two weeks of social unrest, according to police.
Earlier Friday, after the family's private autopsy results were released, Black Lives Matter leader Tanya Faison, told The Bee, "I can't predict how the community is going to react" to the news that Clark was shot in the back.
That autopsy, conducted by prominent pathologist Dr. Bennet Omalu and overseen by attorneys for the Clark family, determined that Clark was facing the house, not police, when shot. It dubbed the event "Shot 7 Times in His Back! In the Streets."
An initial bullet hit him in the side, spinning him around with his back to the officers, Omalu said. Six bullets entered his back, and a final bullet hit him in the leg.
While Omalu said the initial round entered Clark's side, the pathologist suggested one could "reasonably conclude" that the initial bullet was a seventh one in his back. That has led some, including Black Lives Matter, to say he was struck seven times in the back.
Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg issued his own call to the public Friday after the autopsy press conference.
"From the moment we saw the video we knew the details of this horrific shooting were graphic and disturbing," he said in an afternoon statement. "We have an obligation to everyone involved, including the family of Stephon Clark, to wait for the full findings and results from the official autopsy and investigation."
"As the mayor of our city, I assure the community and the public that we will aggressively seek answers to all of the questions the community is rightfully asking. As important, we will aggressively seek appropriate change to the protocols and training that led to this unacceptable outcome."
"From the bottom of my heart, I urge our entire community to work together through nonviolent civil action as we pursue justice and demand reform."
