Sometimes foodie inspiration is something you see that peaks the interest of your inner creativity. And sometimes foodie inspiration comes from refrigerator roulette where you look at what's in there and think about what you can make with the contents. And sometimes the two come together and it's magic.
A painstaking plan of tiramisu for Christmas dessert fell through (specific reasons being unimportant at this point). I think I ultimately ended up making a delicious flourless chocolate cake but I'll come back to that in another post in the future. So this week I discovered the mascarpone I had gotten for the tiramisu buried in the back of my fridge. As I was trying to think of how to use it, I found an interesting recipe that actually called for the exact amount I had. Seriously, how often does that happen? The answer is almost never, at least in my kitchen.
This particular cake is called Chocolate Mascarpone Bundt Cake and it was everything I was hoping for in a chocolate cake. Dense. Moist. Chocolate overload. Nothing really complicated about it, but it does take about 60-70 baking time. You could glaze it, but I just went with a simple dusting of powdered sugar and served it with whipped cream. The recipe is here http://www.thebakingfairy.net/2016/02/chocolate-mascarpone-bundt-cake/.
Here are a few extra thoughts on this cake. Room temperature ingredients are a must. Make sure your bundt pan is really well prepared. This means thoroughly greased and floured. I am a fan of Bakers Secret pan spray but that's just a personal preference. Also, I used Hershey's special dark baking cocoa and dark chocolate chips, but regular baking cocoa and any type of chocolate chips will work just fine. Although the recipe calls for mascarpone I honestly think that regular cream cheese would work as well in a pinch. Lastly, I released the cake from the pan with only 10 minutes cooling time. I have never had a good experience with waiting longer than that for a bundt pan. Maybe it's just me?I hope you give it a try. Sometimes things have a surprisingly wonderful way of working out! I ❤ happy endings.

Romania became the 50th Habitat for Humanity country after being invited to help in Beius. Six other communities, including Cluj-Napoca, Pitesti, Radauti, Comanesti, Cumpana and Craiova have since taken up the challenge of ending poverty housing as part of Habitat. Now more than 1,200 families in Romania, who previously lived in miserable conditions, have a safe and healthy home. For more information about Habitat for Humanity Romania, visit www.habitat.ro.

- Sunday: Learn. Travel to Cumpana and explore the area. Enjoy some free time before meeting back up with your team for dinner.
- Monday-Saturday: Build. Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before traveling to the work site where you'll serve from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. with breaks for lunch and snacks. You'll have free time after work to clean up and relax. Enjoy dinner in local restaurants and reflect with your team on the week.
- Sunday: Explore. Visit Histria and break for lunch in Constanta. Explore the area and have a last dinner in Romania with your teammates.

Types of construction for volunteers
Depending on the stage of construction, our team will work on a variety of tasks, which may include new construction of single and duplex wood-frame houses, or home renovations and repairs. No construction experience is required for GV participants.
Teams traveling to Cumpana, Romania, should expect to stay in a simple hotel in double-occupancy rooms with a private bath. Meals are usually taken at local restaurants. First and last nights will be accommodated in Bucharest.
Leading this trip
Have questions? Ready to join the team? Margaret Downen will lead this team in the field and would love to speak with you!
When asked about her favorite Global Village memory, Margaret said, "On my first experience I signed onto a team going to Kyrgystan with a goal of being engulfed by the experience. Well, I was not disappointed. Our team slept on the floor in two home in the small village where we worked and were surrounded by warmth and respect from the local community. I made lifelong friends and contributed to the success and independence of an amazing family. After two short weeks, I was hooked!"

First on my LIST was this book. I was delighted to finally find it at Barnes & Noble. LOVE this book and have already cut out 3 skirts based on patterns in this book. I will do a full review in the next month. If you are into making clothes, this book is a MUST have!
Ah, lots of fabulous fabric! There are several more photos, but I won't bore you and post them all. You will see them in my projects coming up!
Plenty of sewing and home dec magazines and idea books as well. Love the variety you can get in the US. The one above is from Better Home and Garden and has fabulous ideas in.
I also bought some pom poms in various colours, lovely fabric for skirts I want to make, some ribbon and other trims, bag handles, etc. I also had a chance to visit a Dollar Tree shop. Wow! That's all I can say. More about my purchases will surface in projects I am busy with over the next few weeks. All I can say is that I envy crafters living in the US as they have such a variety of shops to choose from. All in all, a great trip and a lot of shopping achieved in a short time as this was a business trip.

I thought the one today where a man who raped a 3 year old got less than ten years in jail was the dumbest headline ever. Then spent some time getting over the shock that it was real.
I read that - and had the same reaction. He could theoretically be out on parole in 5 years. Why no preventative detention? From what (little) I know - I think they have to be a "serial" sex offender to qualify. From what (also little) I know about prisons, he's going to be an expensive prisoner to keep locked up safe as he'll need to be kept separate from other inmates. My gut reaction is that they should just let them have him.
My gut reaction involved a 9mm pistol...

Mt. Olive, N.C. (2/28/18) The Chargers played the Trojans from the University of Mount Olive for the second straight day still in search of their first win of the season. Wednesday's game marks the final game of the February schedule for the Chargers and the final game of the first trip for the Chargers at the beginning of the season.
The Trojans got off to a fast start over the Chargers again by scoring the game's first runs in the bottom of the first inning. The Trojans started their scoring with Nate Estes driving in the game's first run with an RBI single. Drew Ellis followed with an RBI single to give the Trojans a 2-0 and Justin Carroll doubled in Ellis for a 3-0 lead. Gunner Tolston finished the scoring in the opening inning with a sacrifice fly which completed the four-run first inning for the Trojans.
Dominican scratched a run in the third inning when Joe Rotelli (Morganville, NJ..) singled in the Chargers first run of the game to cut the deficit to 4-1. In the top of the fourth inning, the Chargers tied the game on back to back hits from Anthony Bartolomei (Oakhurst, N.J.) and Justin Decker (Rotterdam, N.Y.) with a two RBI single to right center field to tie the game.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, the Trojans regained the lead by scoring five straight runs in the inning. The Trojans held a 9-4 lead heading into the sixth inning. The Chargers earned a run back in the sixth inning when the Chargers capitalized on the Trojans only error of the game. The Trojans added to their lead in the bottom of the seventh inning when Nate Estes drove in his second RBI of the game. The Trojans extended their lead to 11-5 later in the inning.
The Chargers trailed by six runs heading into the ninth and final inning. The Chargers started a rally in the final inning when they loaded the bases with just one out. Brian Garcia (Miami, Fla.) walked for the first run of the inning and Elijah Tavarez (Valley Stream, N.Y.) followed by reaching on a fielder's choice to make the deficit 11-7.
Barolomei doubled which drove in two more runs for the Chargers and cut the lead to 11-9 for the Charger's first baseman's second and third RBIs of the game. Decker singled in his third RBI of the game which brought the Chargers within one run of the Trojans. The Chargers bid for a comeback victory was stopped short as the final out was recorded before the Chargers could tie the game. Dominican fell to 0-6 in the loss and the Trojans improved to 10-3.
The Chargers will be back in action on Sunday March 4th when they visit Pace University for an afternoon double header at 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM as they look to earn their first win of the season.

A thought provoking piece in the Times:
A thought provoking piece in the Times:
April 21, 2010 :: 12:03pm
Referencing a NYTimes article is okay, giving a basis for items to discuss. It's a huge article though, with 'Tons' to think on.
Starting with 1. referring to 'global warming', because in my estimation this is the topic with "the most widely needed answers for today"…
The opening comments refer to 'global warming' as something that wasn't even discussed, or even 'thought of as a need to be discussed'. As the article said, "…back in 1968… The oraters at the first Earth Day didn't deliver speeches on global warming because they couldn't see ahead for the need and also that they weren't sure society would be still existing. And then in the next paragraph, "Who had time to worry about a distant danger from a natural substance like carbon dioxide?…" Answer is, "No one." And also, "That the United States is addicted to what fossil fuels can afford them in comfort."
My answers to these are: 1) to cut out the present form of energy use: including gasoline and oil use, and also using nuclear energy for power. 2) to use wind energy here on earth 3) to somehow generate energy from the sun on the moon and somehow transport it to earth.
Anyway, these are my thoughts. Thank-you for the article.

- Page 3 Raon Digital Everun Note Review
- Page 4 Photo Gallery Review
- Page 5 Feature Table Review
If the Everun Note is ever to rise above the level of charming gadget, though, it needs to perform well and things start pretty well. Unsurprisingly its 1.2GHz dual-core AMD processor chomps comfortably through all the usual activities, like browsing the web, creating and writing documents and listening to music and since it's dual-core, it can do more of these things at once without things coming to an abrupt halt. Fundamentally, then, it should run rings around any Atom based netbook and in terms of raw performance, it does. Amazingly, the Everun Note still manages to remain cool and quiet during use despite its more powerful components.
Battery life is, on the other hand, less convincing. For unwired power there's a 5,200mAh (19Whr) Lithium Polymer battery that, with wireless radios turned off and screen brightness dialed down to 50 per cent, manages around two and half hours. This isn't too bad, but start surfing the web and you're looking at closer to one and a half or two hours before things go awry. Throw some music playback in there and the figure only declines and an hour and a half of video playback is as much as you can expect. Raon Digital is to provide a solution to this problem in the shape of a nifty portable power pack (with Ethernet port) and extended batteries, but these are obviously extra costs you'll want to factor in.
Indeed, this is at the root of the lingering doubts over the Everun note. Yes, it's powerful. Yes, it's well featured. Yes, it's flexible. But, you'll probably want HSDPA. You'll want a case. You'll want the portable charger. You'll want an extended battery. You'll want a lot of extra stuff and it'll cost a lot of extra money which, given the £549.99 starting price, is no small matter.
It's about this point in the review where we should be delivering the final blow, putting the "charming but slightly flawed" Raon Digital Everun Note out its misery. Yet, we're not because despite these issues, it represents a rare example of innovation and ingenuity. That it manages to squeeze a dual-core processor and plentiful hard drive into such a small case and for it not be noisy and hot is nothing short of remarkable, as is the keyboard and its funky little optical touch point.
Clearly it isn't for everyone; it's a niche product that's fairly expensive and enough like a netbook to make comparisons inevitable. If, however, a miniaturised notebook sounds like your idea of fun, if you're a gadget fiend with cash to spare, it's definitely worth investigation and if Raon Digital goes away and works on some its issues, it could be something really special.
An unusual product with an unusual name, the Raon Digital Everun Note is bound to polarise opinion. But, though its price and form factor isn't for everyone, as mini-notebooks go it's in a class of one: it may not be quite the finished product it could be, but it has potential in spades.
The Raon Digital Everun Note is available to order from SuperGPS.co.uk for £549.99.

Recently I was organising my old notebooks and documents, and found an inspiring writing about my experiences without the home internet in 2015. That was one of my coolest and mind-opening experiences of my life, and I want to share it with you:
I let go of my home internet. This is my first day in peace and silence. I am free of distractions, chaos, and limiting patterns. I feel pure and honest. I'm like a vibrant child again. I can breathe. I can feel!
There are no obstacles. I don't have to motivate myself. Everything flows freely. Everything is simple. I am me. I am free.
No stimulation, only truth. Oneness with my body and environment. I have the awareness to listen, see and feel. I am alive and every moment is a gift!
I feel like I have all the time in the world. No longer I need to pay attention to the clock to worry about the death of another day. Time doesn't even matter now. Now is all there is.
When did I usually go behind the computer and use the internet?
- When I woke up and washed myself. As a teenager I even skipped washing and taking care of myself. Sometimes I couldn't even go to the bathroom to empty my bladder.
- Every time I ate food. I always needed some entertainment or stimulation. That also made me hurry when preparing or cooking food. I couldn't enjoy and be mindful. I ate too fast and didn't chew properly.
- Every time I felt bored or anxious. It has been a way to fill the void. It has always been my safe zone.
- Before going to sleep. It was really hard to skip it when I arrived at home even when it was late and I was exhausted. It was so automatic and normal that I couldn't even imagine my life without this habit.
I don't know who I am without the internet and PC. I feel total mystery and emptiness. I want to find out! I want to lose myself so I could find my true self.
Inability to use the internet or using willpower to stay away from it – these are totally different experiences.
I feel peace when I know I can't cheat. I feel free. When I have the possibility to use the internet and stay offline at the same time, it is still good, but it's not as great. I usually have temptations. I'm too close to my old world. Can't focus. Can't forget.
Suddenly there are no ways to escape. Everything is transparent. I see what is going on in our world. Chaos and disconnection, scared and lifeless faces. Everyone is hurrying somewhere, trying to survive, trying to escape and suppress.
So much is revealed in supermarkets where we buy food from. Just by going there and paying attention we can learn everything about our society. And it's a bit funny, but mostly sad.
People are blind and dead, but they are still walking and acting like they know.
I have seen the same scene multiple times, thought about it a little, and then gone to my safe virtual world where everything is forgotten.
Every one of us tries to escape and forget. We fill ourselves with distractions and illusions. We make fuss over every little detail, but miss what is important. We create problems from something we can't control, but ignore everything that can be controlled. We look outside, but rarely within. No responsibility or awareness of choice. Just lies.
We lie and when we don't, we suppress. We like fairy tales, but fail to notice that our own life is the biggest one.
Take away all the distractions and the Matrix reveals itself.
I'm thankful for this opportunity to remove my glasses of zeroes and ones, and actually be present in this world. I am alive. I can begin the work.
Some of the changes that were happening to me during this period:
- Less thinking. Less information. More feelings. More expression.
- More time, but free of time.
- Total transformation. No limits. The core of my old world was lost. I felt like I could do anything. Everything could change.
- Mysterious feelings. Strong intuition. I didn't know who I am, and it felt so good. I was one with the world. One with the silence.
- Attracted a meeting with a total stranger on the street. Had a deep conversation. She wanted to know more about the plant-based diet. Made a friend. It was incredible to see how open she was.
- Stronger body awareness. I felt like I was healing and could create miracles in that state.
- Less junk food cravings. I ate more mindfully. Eating had used to be connected to different computer activities like watching videos. Without the internet I ate more for nutrition, not entertainment.
- Better focus. It was easier to be productive, because I had less distractions.
Eventually I still returned to the virtual world (actually I only managed a month), but my perspective had become different. I became more mindful about my online activities and I started to value offline time a lot more.
I used to dream about staying offline forever because it used to be my biggest prison, but now I see it more like a tool for creation and spreading awareness. This is also my opportunity to have more freedom in my life as I dream about a location independent online business and entrepreneurship. I'm on the right track!
If this blog post inspired you, there is another one about breaking free from the virtual prison: Prison Break

Raising Global Students Through Japanese Language
Jonathan Burr Elementary School held its annual Japan Day on April 11, and students and teachers spent the afternoon demonstrating the art of taiko drumming and Japanese calligraphy, making various crafts such as origami and fans, and playing kendama and kamizumo. Counsel General Masaharu Yoshida of the Japanese Consulate to Chicago visited Burr to take part in the celebration of Japanese culture and language.
Located in Chicago's Bucktown neighborhood,
Jonathan Burr Elementary School is one of a few Chicago Public Schools
with the Japanese language program. The school started offering the
Japanese language program in the 1990s and today, students from preschool
through the 8th grade learn the language as their second or third language.
Principal William R. Klee, who usually greets students "Hello, Hola,
and Kon-nichiwa," embraces the Japanese program as a way to give his
students skills to understand and embrace other cultures, leaving them
well-prepared to live and work in an increasingly interconnected world.
Although many students enjoy learning another
language and parents appreciate the school offering the Japanese language
program, it has been a challenge to keep the program going because of the
Chicago Public School System's budget cuts in recent years. However, two parent
organizations, Friends of Burr and the Burr School Parent Teacher Organization,
raise funds to support the Japanese program and events such as Japan Day.
This year, FOB set aside $2,500 to train
teachers in taiko drumming. The school used to offer the taiko drumming afterschool
program and many students and parents have shown a keen interest in reviving
the taiko program. The school owns beautiful taiko drums and costumes.
At Japan Day, I had an opportunity to teach
shodo or Japanese calligraphy to upper grade students. I grew up in Okinawa,
Japan, and now live and work in Chicago, and my son attends kindergarten at
Burr. I was pleasantly surprised that many students were able to write their
names in Japanese letters, and I was moved by the students' curiosity and
enthusiasm about the artistic nature of Japanese writing. I initially planned
on teaching just one or two characters in calligraphy but the students wanted

Things are certainly looking up for The Walking Dead and we've had two great episodes in a row, in fact to my mind episode nine was the best episode since the season two opener, and guess what it was jammed packed with walkers for a change and old pacifist Hershel turned out to be a darn fine shot and just may be a Dirty Harry in the making. It turns out that Lori survives her car crash but has to face off against a walker in a great tension packed scene, while Rick, Glenn and new action man Hershel are trapped in the bar having to face a group of mostly unseen hostile survivors. The episode is action packed but finds time for several major character scenes that makes me think that Shane will not survive the season, and that he will be killed of by either Rik. The episode end with Lori suggesting to Rik that Shane is a problem that has to be sorted.
The Walking Dead is back on form, folks.

MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) -- A major California wine producer must stop using labels that imply a connection to Oregon pinot noirs.
The Mail Tribune reports that the Federal Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau has ruled that Napa Valley vintner Joe Wagner must surrender nine labels -- including Elouan and The Willametter -- because of the deceptive labeling.
But wine produced by Elouan Winery that is already in stores and warehouses will not be recalled.
The labeling caught the attention of the Oregon wine industry and state Legislature last summer.
Wagner has previously called the controversy a "charade."
He says he uses Oregon grapes but produces the wine in California.
Oregon wine producers say the state's $5.6 billion wine industry needs to be protected from false claims.

Emilio Pucci's famous geometric prints are back on show with this satin evening bag.
This swirling blue pattern is known as the Mindanao, and it really is the star of the show. I love the way this print spices up this bag's satin body, giving it a fun retro feel. Its abstract nature works well with the folds created by the drawstring, ensuring nothing vital is obscured by the soft pleats. I've never been the biggest fan of drawstrings, as they are a bit fiddly to manage, but I like the look of this complementary satin string.
As it's made from soft satin, you'll be able to squeeze a few more items than usual into this evening bag. This purse also won't lose anything if it's packed to capacity, unlike so many other clutches. Just make sure you don't stuff it too full if you want to take advantage of the mirror Emilio Pucci's hidden in the base. It's an inconvenient spot for this kind of feature, as we'll have to upend our bag to use it, but I'm sure girls will go to such lengths in a cosmetics emergency!
While I can admire much about this purse, its bottom line is a real turnoff. $1495 is too much to pay for a simple satin evening bag, no matter whose name is attached to it.
More Features of This Emilio Pucci Patterned Evening Bag
- Double strap with a 22 inch drop
- Lined in silk
- Measures 4.5 x 7.5 x 3 inches
- Made in Italy

Last week I got my MA results and at first I was disappointed before looking at the bigger picture. At the time, the only thing I thought would cheer me up would be to buy a Christmas tree and decorate it ASAP. At the beginning of the week, I had been to a local garden centre in Tiptree (Perrywoods) and bought a large quantity of decorations. When the cashier said the price, I thought I was going to have a heart attack! But now as I sit here writing this, staring in adoration at my tree, I am glad I got all the baubles I wanted as no one can look at a Christmas tree and feel sad! I also got some really unique and quirky decorations from Paperchase and I just wanted to share what I got today, just in case anyone is in need of inspiration, also, I just love Christmas and my tree so want to show it off!
I wanted to do a different colour scheme to the traditional red and gold as I wanted to have just white LED lights to make the colours stand out for themselves. I went with silver, blue, purple and pink – I used pastel colours and also deeper shades of blue, purple and hot pink so they all complement one another well. At first, I was worried I didn't get enough baubles so I ordered more from Amazon, but it turns out I had too many and didn't even use one box! I have got a real Christmas tree and it is massive! It's about 7.5ft tall and 2m wide but I love it!
From Paperchase I also found a hidden gem in a Christmas craft book! It's so cute and I love it! It was only £10.00 and if you have kids or just want to put a personal touch on your cards and gifts, it's definitely something I would recommend you buying. The decorations I purchased from there were quite expensive individually but they were 3 for 2 and just jazz up the tree a bit!
All the pictures above are from the craft-book. As you can see, there are plenty of activities to keep yourself and the kids busy in the lead up to Christmas. There are pages of stickers, making your own decorations, cards, matching envelopes (again, which you have to make), gift tags and wrapping paper in there. The lead up to Christmas can be difficult with children as they're so excitable and easily distracted so I would like to think that this would keep them busy for a while! In the last picture, you can see there are even name tags in there which are perfect if you're cooking lunch for the whole family and you know exactly where you want people to sit! I just think it's a great project book for a tenner!
The rest of the decorations were from Perrywoods. They were quite pricey, I'm afraid there's no way I can skirt around that! But I think they're worth it, at the end of the day you get what you pay for, as with most things in this world. Plus, I had saved my tips for a month so they were technically paid for by the generous general public! They had some beautiful, delicate baubles that I think make the tree stand out and for it to feel that little bit special – which let's face it, that's what Christmas is all about. I got some beautiful tealight holders which have silhouettes of reindeers, snowflakes and Christmas trees in glitter – what more could you want?
One of my other favourite things to do at Christmas is light candles so the only light in the room is the tree and candles. It just makes the room feel cozy and warm. The final two things I'm going to share are from Cath Kidston and Yankee candle. My advent calendar this year is a Yankee candle one and it's so lovely! Everyday I get a festive smelling candle that I light pretty much straight away, so to be honest, it's a good job I get a new one everyday! When I got back from Barcelona, I stopped off at Bluewater shopping centre for some dinner and went in the Cath Kidtson shop. They had their Christmas collection in and I just had to purchase a Christmas mug, (which is perfect for a hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream) and also some Christmas champagne flutes which are so dreamy that I just had to try them out the other night!
So that's how my Christmas is shaping up so far! My bedroom is like an Amazon warehouse and I seriously need to get my arse into gear and start wrapping the presents so they can go under the tree.
I suppose there's nothing left to say except:

Good Morning Krafty Peeps! Welcome to Kraftin' Kimmie stamps second day of sneak peeks. For today's card I used the new Miles and Maisie stamp- Sharing a cup of cocoa. Awwww....so sweet! I made this into a Valentine's day card and when I think of Valentine's day I think over the top pink, red, hearts, chocolate, sparkly things, etc. I think I did a pretty good job of getting most of that category on my card *snicker*. Yes I know it's decorated a wee bit on the other side of too much but this is a girl who when we figured out we couldn't have the honeymoon in Europe like we wanted decided to go tacky all the way and spent my honeymoon in Niagara Falls. And ever since then my love cards tend to be influenced by heart shaped tubs and tacky wallpaper lol!

The keynote interview of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg at SXSW'08 by Sarah Lacy has all ready had plenty of coverage. Generally, the coverage has been about the supposed awfulness of the interview and the Geek revolution that took place but from listening to the interview, AdViking believes that many people missed some very interesting insights into Facebook and in particular the Facebook strategy around advertising.
One important point that Zuckerberg was at pains to get across is that Facebook is really just part of the macro-trend about bringing technology to bear to facilitate the ease of connectivity and communication between people.
Within seconds of Lacy turning the conversation towards advertising, a punter in the crowd neatly summarised the majority of opinion by shouting out, "Beacon Sucks!". To which Lacy responds by promising that we'll get to that.
AdViking thought that the primary takeaway about the Facebook monetisation strategy is that it's going to be an organic evolution that is inline with how people use the platform, both on the site and across the wider web. Zuckerberg also admitted that they announced the basic idea (Beacon) too early and believes that the solution isn't going to be found in the next couple of years but actually over the next couple of decades.
AdViking would argue that Facebook needs to take the thinking a bit further and provide Users with empowerment tools to become nano-publishers. That is, if Facebook is making money off people's use of the platform, then those that are keen to do so should be able to get involved in that marketplace.
Beacon, WTF*?
To this question, Zuckerberg shrugs his shoulders and agrees with the indictment. He then takes a step back and takes the opportunity to explain the vision behind Beacon, which can be summarised as:
Beacon was first attempt at trying to tap into a growing trend (very web2.0) that social media interaction is quickly moving away from monolithic sites (e.g.: Facebook) to a collection of social services (e.g.: TripIt, Dopplr, 30Boxes) across the wider web. That is, Beacon was hoped to be a collection point for the usage of social services with a tie into the Facebook ad system and then turn those actions into ads/endorsements.
Another point that AdViking found interesting was that the development of Beacon was done by the Platform team and not the Ad team.
In response to what went wrong, it all came down to communication and in particular about how users can tune the permissions.
With regards to the $15 billion valuation that was gained through the Microsoft deal, Zuckerberg said that others focus on the deals but at Facebook, they believe that to realise their vision they need to build revenue quickly and this was one way.
As to if Microsoft are happy, this was skirted around but jokes were flying about calling Ballmer to ask him.
Adviking's takeaway is that Facebook views this deal as some easy cash and resources that allows them to focus on the big picture.
The above image was an interpretation of the keynote by graphic artist Sunni Brown.
* WTF – Was Lacy's rather interesting way of putting a burning question from most people's minds.

So I posted yesterday about our unexpected financial gift from my inlaws and how I wasn't sure what to do with it.
I recently wrote down our upcoming irregular expenses for the next few months that have not been budgeted for and priortized them.
Income taxes was number 1, property taxes was number 2 and brakes for my car was number 3. There are more but not worth mentioning for this post.
Since we are getting a state tax refund but probably won't have it in time that the federal taxes are due I will "borrow" this money from the gift money and pay it back once we receive the state refund.
After that the money will go towards replacing the brakes on my car and any money left over will go to either our emergency fund or to the MasterCard.
Glad to have that worked out.

#5 only takes 5 minutes!
February is National Heart Month, and it's a great opportunity to evaluate how well you're taking care of one your vitalist of organs. Considering heart disease is the number one cause of death in the United States, you can't ignore this chance you have to protect your ticker.
Even if your heart is okay right now, these staggering statistics should make you hesitate a moment and assess what habits you can put into place to keep it that way.
If you intend to take long-term care of your heart, here are the top five ways to do that:
#1 Move That Body
One of the top preventable risk factors for heart disease is physical inactivity. By exercising, you can eliminate that risk factor.
Exercise lowers a whole bunch of your risk factors for heart disease. It lowers your blood pressure and cholesterol levels and improves the way your body processes blood sugar.
To reap these health benefits, the American Heart Association recommends working up to 30 minutes of moderate cardio (any activity that raises your heart rate) at least 5 days per week and two total-body strength training sessions.
Even if you can't pull off a half-hour workout, you can break it up into three doable 10-minute or two 15-minute segments and get the same benefits.
#2 Eat to Live
Another risk factor of heart disease is a poor diet. What constitutes a poor diet? Processed foods, foods with low nutrient content, and oversized portions contribute to a poor diet, among other factors.
You can have a dramatic impact on your health by focusing instead on unprocessed foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. You should limit processed foods, fruit juices, and red meat to keep your heart happy.
Speaking of fruit juices, did you know drinking one sugary drink (soda, juice, energy drink) per day makes you 20% more likely to develop heart disease? Simply swap your soda for a sparkling water, and you can have a staggering impact on your heart.
#3 Snuff the butts
You already know your lungs pay the highest cost from your smoking, but you might not realize that it takes a heavy toll on your heart too. Even secondhand smoke exposure makes you much more likely to develop heart disease.
Smoking is among the top three major risk factors for smoking, but it's one you can control. If you only make one change on account of your heart, make it this one.
#4 Time for your checkup
It's all too easy to ignore those yearly reminders to schedule your checkup. You're always fine, so why bother?
Well, for one, your doctor is trained to notice risk factors for heart disease that you wouldn't even know about. For example, he or she has your past records in front of them, so they can see if your numbers are trending up over time. If your blood pressure is in a healthy range, but it's steadily edging upward, your doctor can help you intervene before it becomes a problem.
Even if you feel okay, you could have elevated blood pressure or cholesterol levels and not even know it because they don't create any symptoms. Your doctor can provide invaluable guidance to help you make healthy changes.
#5 Learn how to meditate
Yes really! Stress is a major contributing factor to high blood pressure and artery damage. Too much long-term stress can actually damage your heart.
So, it's important to practice relaxation techniques such as meditation to combat some of that stress, lower your blood pressure, and reduce your susceptibility to anxiety and depression. This habit doesn't just help your heart, it has a positive impact on all different aspects of your health.
A meager 5 minutes of meditation per day creates healthy changes in the brain and body. You can handle 5 minutes, right?
The good news is, it's never too late to start any of these habits. Even if you've smoked for years or never picked up a dumbbell, you can turn that all around today and reverse many of the damage that's already been done.
It's also important to keep these changes in perspective. You can't expect yourself to overhaul your entire life in one fell swoop. It's much more sensible to focus on small incremental changes. Even just small changes at a time pay off in major accumulative benefits.
Happy Heart Month!

Archbishop Peter Akinola
This semester I have been blessed to have a roommate who is in many ways sympathetic with the "emerging church" movement. You can read his blog as it is linked from my page in my "friend's blogs" section under Dan Bellinger.
Dan has helped me to moderate my views a bit of the emerging movement. My opinion is not as negative as it once was as I see that many of the critiques that the emerging movement offers are well-founded and helpful. Among these helpful critiques I would include the admonition to be open to what other strains of Christianity might have to teach us, a more chastened view of how far we can get with rationality or with apologetics and a questioning of many of the ways protestantism has done things in the modern era such as evangelism or worship.
But I still think that there are some serious problems with the emerging church. I think this is quite clearly seen in the lack of clarity by such emerging leaders as Brian McLaren on certain controversial subjects. I think that McLaren's strain of the emerging church, one of the more popular strains, is simply modern liberal christianity disguised as something else. I would go so far as to say that certain strains of the emerging movement are just a Trojan Horse of modern liberalism positioned smack in the middle of evangelicalism. Another problem in the emerging church is the strong, over-arching commitment to "dialogue." The problem is that this "dialogue" often seems to include questioning doctrines and moral stances which have been accepted by the huge majority of the Church for the huge majority of its existence. I'm thinking specifically of such doctrines as the Virgin Birth and such moral stances as traditional sexual morality.
I was on the Emergent website today and saw that they want to be at the forefront of what they think God is doing in the world today. That sounds great but from some of the things I've read from emerging leaders I have a hard time believing that that is the "new thing" God is doing. I was momentarily disappointed but then I realized that there is another candidate for the "new thing" God is doing. That "other candidate" is Global South Christianity - biblically conservative, charismatic, self-sacrificial and highly evangelistic. I thought - maybe this is what God is really doing in the world. That's not to say that God's will is not being done in certain circles of the emerging church but I will gladly take Global South Christianity over much of what I see in the "emerging" church.
Disclaimer: I would love to be proved wrong about many of my negative feelings toward the emerging church and I am very thankful for the faith and the contributions of many who would define themselves as emerging church people here at the seminary.

I use to be a huge fan of the emerging church in college. But as I began to study it more and become part of it I realized that it was greatly lacking in the depth and power of vibrant faith.
The real kicker happened when I had a discussion with a popular emergent leader who openly rejected the docrtine of the Trinity. He said he accepted it but didn't think it was an essential part of Christianity and wasn't that important.
It does, as you said, look and feel just like modern christian liberalism trying to use various experiential avenues to make themselve feel more connected to the historical faith.

Lately, I have been feeling kind of down. As much as I hate to say it, I feel like I don't know what I want to do with my life, I'm guilty for not pursuing creative passions at full steam, and I'm anxious about work that remains undone. I am easily trapped in a negative circle. I wish I had more energy to achieve all my dreams overnight and find the answers to my questions.
Today I am grateful for small but mighty gifts from life. I started the day feeling miserable. Allergic, grumpy, tired, cold – you name it! I carried it with me to coffee with a friend, a goodbye (for now) before she moves to California. I was talking about my day to day, reflecting on the success of those around me that I admire. Sometimes it feels a long way off for myself, if ever. Claire, as always, had more faith than I that we'll all find our place in life. Plus, if you're happy on the journey, does the finish line matter so much?
It's often hard for me to focus on the things that make me happy day to day, although overall, I am! I often feel that I'm not meeting some goal that works for someone else's life, not working hard enough, long enough, well enough. But after coffee, I was trying to focus on the things in life that I have chosen that make me happy, like eating homemade lunch tray pizza, working in my slippers, and making time to dream.
Later, I attended a happy hour on behalf of the Farm Alliance of Baltimore (aka FAB!) and felt the good vibes even more. In the past few months, I've transitioned to working from home for a non-profit supporting sustainable farmers. I deeply believe that the farming education and advocacy work I support is essential. At the same time, I can feel isolated working alone, rarely speaking to anyone let alone visiting a farm! It felt hard to attend the event – who would I talk to? Would I know anyone? What is my business, as a gardener (mediocre at best), admiring real farmers?
But the community night that followed put aside my self doubts. I'm not even important or all that critical to the success of the small Baltimore farming network, but it was lovely to see so many farmers I admire celebrating at the end of another season. There were many folks that I visited with, and I felt grateful for all of the good people that have crossed my path in the last two years. I look forward to building those friendships more, and left feeling that even if I can't see the end of my path, I know I'm on a path to something. Tonight, that's inspiration enough.
By the way-the lunch tray pizza? It had romesco sauce pizza with fresh mozzarella, oil cured olives, pickled red onion, and arugula. Something about it took me back to school cafeteria lunches that seemed like long affairs, chatting with young friends. I look forward to a lot more days like those.

This is the picture of the only McDonald's branch that still serves the caramel sundae (to my knowledge ha!). I am still in the lookout for more branches. This branch is located right at the center of Atlantic city surrounded by outlet stores. It is the only fastfood in that vicinity and also one of the busiest.I have not been to this store that it's not packed by customers.

HE (prayer)
by Richard L. Provencher
6/20/2008 / Prayers
He (prayer)
is the one to whom I turn
when time has ripened
my failures, falling
into the abyss of
despair, where those
threaten me, overwhelm
Then He gathers me
into His arms
as grasses accept cool
moisture, assuages my soul
renews my innermost
being, reminding me His love
lasts forever.
He is the Creator for tomorrow
forgiver of past errors, and
I am humbled, in awe at
His kindness
the thought of a mere mortal
still precious in the eyes
of my Saviour
and lifting arms in thankfulness
accept His forgiveness

The experts have a truckload of advice for home gardeners- if only we'd listen! Here is some of their most valuable – most often ignored – advice.
By CJ Kwiatkowski
CTW Features
Gardening professionals are our guides, our mentors, and often our saviors. Because they are professional gardeners, they understand the need for patience and nurturing, and so, they continue to instruct and educate. When we listen, we learn that the sources of our frustrations are often simple, and the solutions straightforward.
Forget the quick fix
"People tend to forget that plants are living things with living requirements," says Alex Grainger, a consultant at Wells Medina Nursery in Medina, WA, just outside of Seattle. "Rather than adjusting the condition of the plant, people often want short cuts and easy fixes. It's just human nature, but it doesn't work for plants." A popular "quick fix" is using fertilizer as a cure-all for sick plants, says Grainger. "The plant must be healthy to respond well to fertilizer, or else fertilizer acts as a toxin. Take the time to find out what is wrong with the plant. A professional will help you diagnose the problem."
Too much and not enough
Believe the experts when they tell you there is no one-step approach to watering. Plants' water needs are variable and dependent on conditions that change daily, even hourly, in an outdoor environment. Gardeners need to understand that there are many factors involved in watering. There is no such thing as a cut-and-dry watering schedule.
Begin by asking a gardening professional about a plant's general watering needs, and then pay close attention to actual conditions, such as the strength of the sun, and, to a lesser extent, heat and wind throughout the season. Get in the habit of checking the soil in your garden and containers for moisture. Dig down to see if soil is moist below the surface, around the roots of the plant. Surface moisture is not an accurate indication of adequate moisture, it's the soil underneath that matters.
Gardening pros also cite over-reliance on watering systems as a common mistake. Many gardeners attempt to water the yard and garden at the same time, hoping that the sweep of the sprinkler will sufficiently and evenly nourish everything in its path. As a result, garden plants are generally either parched or drowned. The professionals suggest watering the old-fashioned way, with a good sprinkling can or hose, which encourages closer contact with the plants and a better awareness of what's happening in your garden. It is best to water deep and long, in the early morning hours.
Know your space
Homeowners take time to assess their yards and gardening spaces before they shop for plants. He suggests jotting down details about light factors, soil conditions, and existing trees and shrubs. Measuring spaces like beds and border lengths, and snapping a few pictures, is helpful to professionals who want to guide you to the right plants for the right places.
Herb Quarles, a consultant at A Growing Concern outside of Asheville, NC, is a passionate gardening educator who will often visit a client's backyard to diagnose problems. One of the most common mistakes he sees is plantings too close to foundations, walls, and fences. "When foundation beds are not wide enough, plants don't receive sufficient air and light circulation and grow lopsided, the structure-facing side of the plant usually wilts and dies. I see this mistake made repeatedly," says Quarles. Carefully consider light conditions and what degree of drainage a specific plant needs.
Other tips, often overlooked:
Lighten up on the mulch. Deep and heavy mulching near tree trunks will suffocate tree roots.
We often plant too deeply and space plants too far apart. Close spacing shades the soil and prevents evaporation.
Hanging baskets lined with moss or hay absorb moisture quickly and require extra attention.
Bark mulches are detrimental to plant growth. As it decomposes, it steals nitrogen from the soil and, ultimately, the plant.
Outdoor containers must have drainage holes or plants will drown after a heavy rainfall.

UFC 225 is a major card for 2018. In many ways, it's the year's first major event, as others have been marred due to late injuries. The card's co-main event features Rafael dos Anjos, who is looking to silence the bombastic Colby Covington and secure an interim welterweight title. Although there are questions about the need for this Interim Welterweight Championship, winning this bout would still put Dos Anjos in a historic place amongst his peers in the UFC. Looking back at his career, this is a far ways off from where it was projected to be for the Brazilian competitor at various times during his stint with the promotion.
Anthony Pettis in March 2016, but he's looked just as impressive since moving up to 170 pounds. In one year he's defeated former Strikeforce champion Tarec Saffiedine, longtime welterweight contender Neil Magny, and former UFC Welterweight Champion Robbie Lawler. In each bout he looked exceptionally better, each win adding voices to the chorus that believes in his ability to provide a true test for the 170-pound kingpin, Tyron Woodley.
But let's rewind the clock nearly 10 years to UFC 91. Dos Anjos was riding a nine-fight win streak and making his UFC debut against Jeremy Stephens, a fighter that had high expectations but was struggling to live up to them at the time. In that fight, Stephens would brutally knock Dos Anjos out with an uppercut, a highlight that is still part of Stephens' reel to this day.
UFC 185 it was due mostly to his ability to string together consistent performances, positioning himself to capitalize on timing. The rest is history, and even though he would drop the lightweight title to Eddie Alvarez the next year, Dos Anjos had already exceeded most of the expectations that were placed on him.
Now we are talking about RDA potentially becoming one of the few fighters to hold titles in two divisions, an accomplishment that should put him in the conversation of the greatest Brazilian mixed martial artists of all time. It's an opportunity that he recognizes heading into this weekend's fight, based on what dos Anjos said during a UFC 225 media call:
"It means a lot "I'm about to be among the very few to have two belts. I've been training very hard to get my second belt and make history. It's a lot, it means a lot to my legacy."
But Rafael Dos Anjos has to pass the tough test that is Colby Covington in Saturday night's co-main event in order to reach this historic moment. If he can overcome this challenge, dos Anjos deserves to be recognized and praised as an athlete that has continued to improve, and has overachieved in a sport where many are perhaps too quick to judge how far a fighter can go.

An employer recruits and trains its employees at great expense and often gives those employees access to its best practices, technologies and customer list as part of their job duties. It is always a concern for the employer when any employee jumps ship and goes to work for the competitor. It is because of that concern that employers frequently add a noncompetition clause to their employment contracts, especially for key employees.
On the other hand, it is a matter of human dignity that employees should generally be at liberty to offer their know-how and abilities to any other employer so that such employees can grow their careers and income potential. As the thinking goes, why should an employer be able to monopolize any given employee to the detriment of said employee? And for that reason the various state legislatures and courts have long recognized the need to regulate the rights and obligations of employers and employees in regards the ability to compete. In California, that regulation starts with California Business and Professions Code section 16600. We will only discuss California law in this article and remind readers that other states' laws can vary considerably in this field.
Section 16600 states plainly that, except for limited exceptions, "every contract by which anyone is restrained from engaging in a lawful profession, trade, or business of any kind is to that extent void." The courts in California have long concluded that this means that any contract that purports to restrain an employee from competing is suspect and should be highly scrutinized. The courts have recently gone further and held that even if the restraint in an employment contract is "reasonable" it can still be impermissible if the restraint does not fall under a recognized exception to section 16600.
The Business and Professions Code provides for certain exceptions where a noncompetition restraint is allowed. Section 16601 states that in a sale of business transaction the seller of the business can be restrained from competing against the business sold under certain conditions. Similarly, section 16602 allows a partnership agreement to restrain a dissociating partner from competing with the partnership so long as certain conditions are met. Section 16602.5 mirrors 16602 in allowing members of limited liability companies to be restrained from competing with the limited liability company after leaving the company.
The courts in California, however, previously have determined that protecting the employer from having its other employees "raided" by a departing employee and protecting its trade secrets and other proprietary information can be in conflict with the right to compete embodied in section 16600. For this reason many California employment contracts contain "non-solicitation of employee" restraints instead of (or in addition to) noncompetition restraints. Such employment contracts frequently also contain a "non-solicitation of customers" restraint.
Because of a major California Supreme Court case in 2008, there is significant doubt about the enforceability of restraints on the solicitation of the employer's other employees. This is because such non-solicitation restraint can be viewed as an impermissible restraint on the other employees' ability to find new employment if the departing employee is prevented from recruiting them.
On the other hand, the protection of trade secrets and proprietary information through a nondisclosure agreement is likely perfectly fine in an employment situation. But employment contracts usually only insert a non-solicitation of customers provision into an employment agreement in an attempt to get around the prohibition on noncompetition restraints. Because California courts are not clear on the enforceability of such restraints in employment contracts, such an approach is unwise.
If the restraint is simply included as part of an employment agreement and really only provides for non-solicitation of the employer's customers, there is a high risk that it can be deemed an impermissible restraint on the employee's right to compete. If the restraint is instead a nondisclosure covenant that restrains the employee from using or disclosing the employer's trade secrets, including customer list, then it becomes more likely to be enforceable. The better approach, however, is to not include any such restraint in the employment agreement but have the employee enter into a separate, full nondisclosure or confidentiality agreement.
Thus, under current California law, it is better to not attempt to restrain an employee from competing in any way. Instead, the employer's focus should simply be on protecting the employer's trade secrets through a proper nondisclosure agreement in addition to the employment agreement.

This discussion is merely for information/education and should not be relied upon for legal advice by anyone because the facts discussed may be different from your own situation.
