Review: Tech21 Impact Shield for Samsung Galaxy Note 8
I am updating this post. Below you will find the original and bad review.
Back in November, I had the chance to try out for the first time the Tech21 Impact Shield for my Note 8, and I was furious at how difficult it was to put on. I watched the video and followed the instructions but I just didn't get it right, I ended up frustrated, crumpled up the shield and threw it out the window.
Tech21 asked that I give it another shot, and I did.
Now I won't lie and say it was easier to install and I was an idiot. The shield is one of the most difficult shields I ever installed, but I got it done. Does the happy dance It's 13 step process might even drive you crazy. So if you buy one which I recommend you do let Best Buy, or where ever you buy this shield to install it. Most will fix any errors without charging you for another if they mess up the install.
Once you have the shield installed you really won't notice it. The feel of the phone when tapping does feel a little different but nothing you won't get used too.
So how well does the shield protect your phone? I just got it installed so I can't answer what day to day use will be like, but I did drop by keys onto the screen, and no scratches or scuffs. I didn't want to run a nail over it as it's the only one I have and don't want to damage it.
The Tech 21 Impact Shields are available at BestBuy, Verizon Stores and of course at Tech21.com
===ORIGINAL REVIEW I've Changed my mind it's great!====
We all want to protect our investment in a new cell phone, especially one that cost nearly 1000 dollars. So we buy a case and we buy a screen protector like the Impact Shield by Tech21.
The Impact Shield for the Note 8 comes with a squeegee so you can clean your screen and an attachment applicator so you can supposedly easily install the protector.
The squeegee sucked, it left particles on the screen, I ended up using a paper towel. The applicator fit the phone well, but it did little to assist in applying the protector. The applicator just interfered and didn't assist me at all it actually covered too much of the screen and the protector wouldn't lay flush. I got so fed up with the application process I crumpled the protector and threw it on the floor. I don't recall ever getting so mad in my life, not even when an ex gf broke up with me have I been so upset.
Maybe it was user error, maybe I got a bad protector I do not know, but I do know it was surely frustrating. I kinda wish I didn't crumple it to try again. But hey I did $40 bucks down the drain.
The Tech 21 Impact Shields are available at BestBuy, Verizon Stores and of course at Tech21.com

It sounds sort of reasonable, but I think there are plenty of cases were you aren't totally aware of the potential variance in outcomes before doing the simulation. You take some quick and easy mental short cuts and you decide it's a low risk thing that should work out in most cases. No Monte Carlo simulation needed. Right?
Great discussion everyone. You have exceeded my expectations. Everyone gets 6 Golden Unicorns for participating and/or reading [scratch that, make it 7, you all deserve 7 Golden Unicorns! I am being generous.]Seriously now, does anyone have a recommendation for a software or a website to run some Monte Carlo simulations? Please tell me that I don't have to be a Computer Science major in order to make it work. I would prefer it to be easy enough for a dumb American from Virginia to operate.Thanks in advance!

Safety first as CQ stormchasers capture weather drama
STORMY weather may be an excuse for many to stay indoors, but it doesn't deter some from going out and taking some extraordinary pictures.
While Mackay doesn't offer the same opportunities for storm pictures as surrounding areas, keen storm chasers are hitting the region's roads in pursuit of weather hot spots.
Storm chasers in the Mackay region have travelled as far as Clermont, Nebo, Dysart, Moranbah and past St Lawrence to shoot awe-inspiring photos.
Amy Taylor contributed pictures to The Daily Mercury and shared some of her favourite places to chase storms.
"It's tricky having to try and situate yourself in the best place to catch the storm," she said. "I like Glenden Rd and Golden Mile Rd in Dysart, there are not a lot of trees and good visibility all around.
"Anywhere like Sarina hasn't really got much visibility, so you have to go out past St Lawrence to get the visibility you need."
Ms Taylor said she was passionate about storm chasing and had been involved in the activity for quite some time.
"I have been doing this since I was 28, so for quite a long time," she said.
"I first got into it when I got stuck in a storm as a delivery driver when I was young. Adrenaline is what got me going and I had to get into it, it really sparked my interest."
Ms Taylor also advised those interested in participating in the activity to put safety first and not risk lives.
"You need to be safe and not get yourself into dangerous situations to get that shot," she said.
"It's not worth putting your life in danger."

What is Precision Score
Precision score is the former name of the TransUnion credit reporting agency's NextGen credit model.
Breaking down Precision Score
With precision scores in general, the lower the score the higher the risk for the lender, the higher the interest rate charged. Credit model names differ, but credit rating agencies use comparable algorithms. The score determines risk for a lending institution to lend money or advance credit to borrowers. The NextGen scoring model was created by Fair Isaac Corporation, which created the FICO score. A FICO score is a type of credit score created by the Fair Isaac Corporation. In general, a FICO score above 650 indicates a very good credit history. A score below 620 may make it difficult for the borrower to obtain financing at favorable rates. To determine creditworthiness, lenders also consider income, employment history and type of credit requested. Lenders typically use credit scores from Experian, Equifax or TransUnion, the three major credit reporting agencies. Each calculates a consumer credit score differently depending on the type of loan and the content of the applicant's credit file with that agency. A different credit score may result for the same individual with the same agency depending on whether the application is for a credit card, an auto loan, a mortgage or new utility services.Any difference in scores between agencies would depend on the information available to each credit bureau.
FICO Scores Explained
FICO scores take into account five factors to determine credit worthiness: payment history; current indebtedness; types of credit used; length of credit history and new credit accounts. In general, payment history represents 35 percent of the score, accounts owed 30 percent, length of credit history 15 percent, new credit 10 percent and credit mix 10 percent. Payment history measures whether credit accounts are paid on time. Credit reports show payments for all lines of credit and indicate if payments are received 30, 60, 90, 120 or more days late. Accounts owed refers to total amount owed. High debt does not necessarily mean a low credit score. FICO considers the ratio of money owed to the amount of credit available. And, generally the longer the credit history, the better the score. However, with favorable overall scores, an applicant with a short credit history may obtain a good score. Credit mix is the variety of accounts. To earn high scores, applicants need a mix of credit such as retail accounts, credit cards, installment loans or vehicle loans and mortgages. New credit refers to recently opened accounts. New account openings in a short period of time raise credit risk so can lower the applicant's score.

Panthers coach Ron Rivera said he will decide Saturday whether Olindo Mare or Adi Kunalic will be the Panthers' kicker in Houston, though he hinted it will be Mare, who missed a critical fourth-quarter field goal last Sunday against Atlanta, according to Ron Green of the Charlotte Observer.
"Olindo has kicked the ball well. Bringing Adi in, he's kicked it pretty good but a little concerned about him being just a little bit sore," Rivera said.
"He hasn't kicked as much as he has (recently). He's having to kick a lot more. We'll see how he is (Saturday) morning."

Gigglin' gal: Comedian Paula Poundstone performs Aug. 4 at the Sonoma County Fair.
Paula Poundstone keeps the offbeat humor coming
By Paula Harris
HANG ON A MINUTE, could ya?" says comedian Paula Poundstone in her famously husky voice, sounding a mite harried as she commences a morning telephone interview from her Santa Monica home. "Actually, could you call back in five minutes?" Children giggle in the background as she hangs up.
Five minutes later, the humorist is back on the line, sounding a bit more relaxed and munching on a candy bar. She announces that she's wearing a lot of Butterfinger crumbs, a pair of Gap trousers, a sloppy shirt, and sandals without open toes.
"I hate open-toed sandals," she says. "I don't want to know that much about other people."
Having first become a foster parent in 1993, Poundstone, 39, now lives the hectic life of a single mom in a household filled with her two adopted daughters, one foster son, and a slew of cats.
"I just jumped out of the bathtub with my 1-year-old foster son and he almost drowns both of us, and now I'm sitting in the office of my house and my oldest daughter is behind me playing on the CD-ROM on the computer, and I was just showing her how to use the phone book, but she knows more than I do. My 5-year-old is off at day camp," Poundstone rattles off, in between quick bites of chocolate.
The comedian--who performs Wednesday, Aug. 4, at the Sonoma County Fair--has built her career on jokes that spring from her off-kilter view of everyday situations. The kids and kitties obviously supply her with a wealth of comedic material.
"My brand of humor is mostly about just existing, I suppose," Poundstone explains. "My stuff is mostly from the kids and some from my cats. I have nine cats now and they're really obnoxious. They throw up all the time, there are big masses of cat hair, and I often ask myself, 'Why do I have all these stupid cats?'
"But on the other hand, I have hours of material about them, so I do feel they've paid for themselves," she adds with a chuckle.
Poundstone rose to prominence doing stand-up in the comedy-crazed '80s, but the Boston-area native has gone on to build a multifaceted career over the past decade.
As a contributing editor at Mother Jones magazine, she's penned humorous columns on topics ranging from Spam to Ping-Pong. Her HBO specials have earned her two Cable ACE awards, and she's also won an American Comedy Award as the nation's best female stand-up comic. Currently she's voicing the character of Judge Stone for ABC's Saturday morning animated TV series Squigglevision.
In addition, she is writing a series of comedic essays for her first book, slated to be published by Crown next year. But that project is slow-going.
"I think I've already gone past every deadline I was ever given, but so far they haven't said, 'Give us our money back,' so . . . ," she explains.
As a stand-up veteran, Poundstone has seen just about every style of humor the world of comedy has to offer. She says that, personally, she enjoys comics who are silly, smart, and honest.
"There was a trend for a while to be the 'Angry Man,' and I've never particularly enjoyed that," she says. "It kind of makes my stomach have knots, and I don't consider that a pleasant evening's entertainment."
"Or else," she adds, "there were a few guys doing supposed characters that were very racist or very sexist or whatever, and their excuse in interviews was 'Well, it's just a character.' Well, the crowd is responding to it on a particular level. We all have demons and dark sides, and I don't know that, as a group, it's a good idea to coax them out."
POUNDSTONE'S own performance style is relaxed and unstructured. Clad in her trademark shirt, tie, jeans, and jacket, the comedian often reclines on the stage floor as she shares her wry slice-of-life observations.
"I do a lot of shows in these nice 1,500-seat theaters where I'm part of a season, and the week before me was some sort of violin quintet," she says. "I lie down on the floor and think, 'I'm sure I'm the only performer doing this in here this year--unless some guy's string went out on him or something.'"
No two of her shows are alike. She interacts with each audience, asking questions and ad-libbing: "I feel pretty relaxed on stage, unless I'm going downhill at a rapid pace, which happens occasionally. I don't anticipate that'll happen at the Sonoma County Fair--but it's a possibility," she deadpans. "However, as a general rule, people like to laugh, especially if they've paid to do so."
Apparently the comedian has always had the gift. Her kindergarten teacher noted on her report card: "I've enjoyed many of Paula's humorous comments about our activities." Poundstone still keeps the little card tucked away in her carry-on bag.
"I can certainly remember enjoying getting the response of laughter when I was little," she recalls. "It's kind of a neat thing for kids. Even my foster son, who's a year old, will do something and we laugh and he looks back and tries to repeat whatever it was he thinks we're laughing at. He doesn't know what's funny--he just likes it that we laughed."
Through all her triumphs, one success continues to elude Poundstone: she can't seem to break into network television. Her 1993 show on ABC lasted just two weeks, and an animated series called "Home Movies," which aired on UPN this spring, has already come and gone.
"I have an amazing record for short duration [on TV]," Poundstone says with a quick laugh, but then she grows serious. "I don't have a big drive about it the way I once did. Certainly, there are some great shows on television with some great performers . . . but I find most of what's on television just awful, and I don't long to be a part of that," she says.
"The odds of being on something and having it be a good project are even slimmer than getting on to begin with," she continues. "If I never get on television again, which I don't really think will happen, I don't think I will lie awake nights crying about it."
Poundstone says she measures success differently these days and enjoys the immediate rewards afforded by performing stand-up comedy.
"It's such a great treat spending my life performing to a crowd live and getting paid enough for it so I can pay the rent, and I can come home and be mom," she explains. "I'm the producer, writer, and director--no one tells me what to do. There are a lot of pluses to it--but the biggest plus is that I'm in a true relationship with the people out there in front of me."
Paula Poundstone performs Wednesday, Aug. 4, at 6 and 8 p.m. at the Sonoma County Fair, 1350 Bennett Valley Road, Santa Rosa. Admission ot the fair ($5) gets you a free seat; reserved seats are $5. 545-4200.

"@TMZ: @DarrenYoungWWE = 1st openly gay wrestler at @WWE." Next match at @WrestleMania: Young vs. WBC's signs! #UrOn pic.twitter.com/M820xz9BhP
— Westboro Baptist (@WBCSays) August 15, 2013
Just as WWE star Darren Young came out as the first openly gay active pro-wrestler, the cretins at the Westboro Baptist Church have promised to picket the star at Wrestlemania. Either the "church" have embarrassed themselves with their lack of knowledge of the WWE's calendar (Wrestlemania isn't until April 2014) or they're giving themselves ample time to climb out from under their rock and make crappy signs that people can ignore.
The Westboro Baptist Church have made their hateful name through picketing the funerals of those killed in tragedies, somehow relating their deaths to the acceptance of homosexuality in society.

A computer enthusiast from York has admitted hacking into Facebook.
Glenn Mangham, 26, pleaded guilty to hacking into the social networking site between April and May this year at a hearing in London's Southwark Crown Court on Tuesday. The court heard that the incident sparked a major security alert amid fears that some form of industrial espionage was involved, the BBC reports.
Mangham, a computer science student, had previously advised Yahoo! on how to improve the security of its website. Although his subsequent actions against Facebook were not maliciously motivated they were unauthorised and resulted in the extraction of what prosecutor Sandip Patel described as "highly sensitive intellectual property". Mangham had downloaded and stored code he wanted to work with offline.
Although Mangham attempted to delete his tracks he was tracked down and arrested, after which he freely admitted his actions, violations of the UK's Computer Misuse Act. Evidence of the hack was discovered during a routine security check.
In a statement, Facebook explained its decision to file a criminal complaint, adding that the "attack did not involve an attempt to compromise or access user data".
At Facebook nothing is more important to us than the security and integrity of our site, and we take any attempt to compromise our security network incredibly seriously. We work closely with law enforcement agencies and the police to ensure that offenders are brought to justice.
This attack did not involve an attempt to compromise or access user data.
A sentencing hearing against Mangham has been set for 17 February. ®

What Is an Ash Gourd?
The ash gourd goes by many names, including wax gourd, winter melon, Chinese watermelon, white gourd and white pumpkin. Officially named Benincasa hispida, the ash gourd is native to Southeast Asia and winters well in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 2 through 11. Ash gourds belong to the Cucurbitaceae plant family, making them related to cucumbers, squash and melons.
The ash gourd is an annual creeping vine that can either climb structures or be allowed to spread out on the ground. This plant features large green leaves and thick stems covered with coarse hairs. The showy, golden yellow blooms appear early in the summer, and female flowers give way to round or spherical fruits. Young ash gourds are covered with a soft down that disappears with maturity. Fully matured gourds have a white, waxy coating covering the surface. Mature fruits weigh in from 5 to 20 pounds, but they can reach as high as 50 pounds in optimal growing conditions.
Ash gourds thrive in well-draining, organically rich, fertile soils in full sun locations. You can start planting the seeds when the soil temperatures in your area reach at least 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Plant three seeds together in each planting pit and thin out the weaker plants when they sprout. Planting pits should be about 1 inch deep and spaced about 10 inches apart.
Maintenance Requirements
Gardeners appreciate the fact that the ash gourd is a low-maintenance plant with only medium moisture needs. Because these plants are relatively drought tolerant, you need to water the gourds only every 6 or 7 days in dry weather. Just as with other melon plants, lightly pruning the flowers and stem tips promotes better fruit production.
Potential Problems
Although ash gourds typically don't suffer from serious disease or insect problems, they sometimes attract mites, aphids, squash bugs, cucumber beetles or squash vine borers. Keep an eye out for powdery mildew and downy mildew as well. Powdery mildew appears as small white spots on the leaves and shoots, while downy mildew causes pale green or yellow spots to form on leaves, giving them a mottled look. These problems aren't usually serious enough to warrant the use of chemical sprays.
Harvesting and Usage
Ash gourds have edible leaves and stems that can be harvested at any time and cooked like other greens. Flowering begins anywhere from 45 to 100 days after sowing, and you can start picking immature gourds about a week after the flowers appear. Immature fruit can be cooked in the same ways as summer squash. Mature gourds need to stay on the vine for 30 to 40 days after flowering, or until they develop their characteristic white, waxy coating. Ash gourds have a mild flavor, making them a common ingredient in curries, soups and Asian stir-fries. Mature fruit stores for up to six months if kept in a cool, dry place, but you should eat young gourds within a week of picking.

What is music4Uonline?
Music4Uonline is a new music system for businesses. We designed it to offer the maximum functionality for minimal cost. We wanted to create a system that would cater for every possible requirement but still have an option for any budget. You can test its power for yourself by going over to the music4Uonline website and finding out about our free trial.
Combining music4Uonline with our new mobile broadband offerings give you all of the benefits of Internet-delivery without needing to install a broadband line or involve IT.
Simplicity and Power
When we decided to produce an Internet-delivered service we had a choice: enable one of our existing systems for Internet-update or start from scratch. We chose the latter and then consulted a range of clients and potential clients to establish what people really needed from our services.
This led us to develop a system that can be as simple or as complex as the user wishes it to be. Music4Uonline incorporates advanced music profiling, video capability, advertising options, plug-and-play functionality and utter simplicity all within one package. Whether you want to plug your system in and then forget about it or pick ten thousand tracks by hand, music4Uonline allows you to do so.
What's more, the different options can be turned on and off at will. This means that the system can evolve as your business changes.
To top everything off, the software uses ordinary computing equipment. This keeps the cost of new hardware to a minimum. It even means that you can install the service on your own existing PCs, laptops or EPOS/till systems, saving you from having to buy hardware at all!
The 'Add-ons' – Overlays, Video, Advertising and Innovation
Music4Uonline offers a variety of add-on options beyond basic music.
Overlays allow a different style of music of music to start and stop on certain dates, and play every track or every few tracks. This is perfect for Christmas music in December, Irish music on St Patricks day and love songs around Valentines, for example.
The system is also fully video enabled and will play both audio and video adverts. Like overlays, adverts can be pre-programmed to run for the duration of a particular campaign and can be set to play at a frequency chosen by you. Videos offer a highly-effective means of communicating with your customers while they are in your premises. Both videos and adverts can be enabled or disabled as you see fit, and this can be changed at any time.
We are always striving to ensure that we offer every possible option that our clients may need. This includes developing new services as requested by individual clients. Recent developments included an option for aerobics classes and a drag-and-drop function for playlist building. One option for the future is an SMS (text message) jukebox. If you think there is something more we could be offering for you, please let us know.

The three questions I've been asked the most over the past few weeks go something like this: What is Major Zhang? (He's my kid brother and he's cooler than you and I, simply by virtue of his first name). I thought you were in [insert overseas location] not [insert location of conversation]? (Nope – right here. Currently: Sydney). Are you the girl on the bus stop ads? (Yes indeed! Our Clinique campaign remains surreal).
The fourth, and most important, is: why don't you post on Shine By Three as often as you used to? I miss the good old days when you would update on the daily. Now hold it right there, sister.
My immediate answer to this question, and on the most real human level I reflexively (and probably defensively) spit out, is you know: life. Shine By Three appeared on the internet when I was sixteen, on an 8:20AM-3:20PM high school schedule, harbouring too many creative juices with nowhere to flow. Fast forward, and all I can think about while sitting in class is how much sleep I'd like to get tonight. Granted, this past week has been a particularly rough one off the back of Stateside jet lag and information overload of being back on the daily class grind. This week is thankfully looking a fair bit better. C'est la vie. It has taken me a long time to come to terms with the fact that there are only so many hours in a day, and depriving yourself of (too much) sleep, and time not staring at books or a screen, is not worth it in the long term. In juggling multiple full-time commitments, physical and psychological health, immediate client deadlines, immediate assignment deadlines, being there for family and friends, and staying on top of readings unquestionably hold priority above overzealously embellished commentary on sweeping creative gestures and nebulous visual imaginations.
This space has remained (with the exception of a few wrong turns), and will always remain my personal space for my inspiration and my work. There is no banner advertising. There are no sponsored posts. There is no daily struggle to come up with click-bait headlines of dreadfully riveting life questions like how one might wear leg-warmers in ten completely different ways.
This is not a cash cow. My University tuition comes from my work shooting, styling, writing, and consulting, like any other freelancer. This is my space to be honest and be inspired by the interaction I'm able to generate with every one of you, regardless of your background, geographical location, and to an extent, interests.
With all of this in mind, and allow me this slice of cheese in the grand scheme of our conversation, you can't force inspiration. And you can't be inspired or creative all of the time. Our mutual internet friend, A-Spence, alluded to this a few months ago. How many times can you photograph the same subject in the same wardrobe of clothing? How many times can you say an item of clothing is amazing or effortless or perfect or so hot right now or amazing again? How much more is to be said for one's outfit of the day except that it's what you put on that morning? Not much.
There comes a tipping point both internally and in the context of an oversaturated and homogenised field (or more accurately, an economy), coupled with seven days a week planned hour to hour from 6AM – 11PM, where you become disillusioned and the ideas stop flowing.
The extent of this cynicism depends wholly on what makes you tick. If it's any kind of cognitive and professional learning, yoga is probably not going to help you.
Upon reassessment of where you individually stand in this expansive environment, though, it's fairly evident that one's lack of inspiration can't be held entirely responsible. The digital content space has evolved so dramatically as to call into question the inherent characteristic relevance of its initiating platforms. Now, this is not even about the tension between print and digital (that isn't doing anybody any favours, but that's another conversation). Rather, that even our most established digital media brands and authorities should evolve at the same speed at which they emerged. When Shine By Three began, smartphones were not as terrifyingly imprisoning in our day to day and blogs were undoubtedly the most immediate means of projecting opinions, news, imagery and profiles into the Universe. As Instagram and Twitter emerged from the shadows of San Francisco, they became the reinforcing tools that made editorial profiles (like bloggers, like celebrities, like magazines) more accessible – gave them a reality and personality, you might say. As these platforms have become
increasingly conducive to external user content (and high quality content as a result), more platforms have sprung up to take their place in sharing the unfiltered, unedited version of life as VOGUE or Lena Dunham or Shine By Three – Snapchat or Periscope, for instance (the latter of which I find a little too close for comfort), and Vine to a point, though that too has been repurposed for the comedic brand extension of YouTubers.
The rise and rise of Instagram 'stars' in particular has called into question the content relevance of Ye Olde Blog – at least, for some. What more is there to share of your opinion, your food, your outfit, your humour, your boyfriend, your puppy, your kids, your road rage, if all of the above have already been exhausted on alternate and (now) far more immediate content sharing platforms? Although there is a case to be made for audience and attention span variation between different platforms (that is, those who read Shine By Three may not follow @margaret__zhang, @margaret__zhang, or Margaret Zhang), the more than likely crossover requires a reconfiguration of content. To circumnavigate a time and space where people's discomfort at self-made individuals whose range of work cannot be categorised drives them to create
new and arbitrary boxes to downplay the variability of what youth and individuals can achieve without the help of "The Establishment" per se, it is even more important to carve out, refine, and clearly communicate a sustainable skill set. Take Emily Ratajkowski's GQ UK cover that has just surfaced. "Instagram's It-Girl takes on Hollywood", the subtitle decrees. Never mind the years Ratajkowski has spent working as a model up to this point, the events of which have pointed her career in the direction of the big screen just as Cameron Diaz or Uma Thurman had. Rather, it's easier to attribute her success to having a lot of Instagram followers. Whether @emrata or her publicist have an opinion on the matter is a separate question. Whether this instance is even the most illustrative of the point at hand is also unclear. But, I'm sure we can all agree that boiling an individual down to an "Instagirl" is probably not the takeaway most would choose to emanate from their line of work, and something to steer clear of.
To do that for me, this website requires more writing, more imagery, more high quality stories not instantaneous updates.
These things take time.
Thank you always for standing by me.

A Guide to the Sherwood Y. Reams Letter, 1836
Biographical Note
Born in Spartinburg, South Carolina, Sherwood Young Reams (1812-1887) lived in Tennessee before immigrating to Texas in 1835. During the Texas Revolution, Reams served in Captain James C. Neill's regiment and helped defend the Alamo. Although he was discharged on account of his health, he reenlisted in the Texas Army in July 1836. After being honorably discharged three months later, Reams married Sarah Atkinson the following year. Two years after Sarah's death in 1853, he married Mary Backman and the couple lived in Peach Creek until 1870, when they moved to Buckhorn.

When I started writing, I had grand plans of learning how to cook better, more inventive meals and sharing them with you. Now I realize that it ain't going to happen like that.
So how about being more realistic?
With all the running around we do, we eat fairly basic meals around here, but we always try to keep them balanced and healthy. Letsbehonest- many of us are pulled in a million different directions and cooking an elaborate meal after work is probably not that appealing.
Cleaning the mess left after that elaborate meal- less appealing.
Don't judge- Corey I cleaned them just for this picture
So let's keep it simple shall we?
How about this; make an effort to eat something green at least once a day, for one month. If you want to see some real, very green meals and have a laugh while you're there, swing over to FoodofmyAffection and say hello to Shana who is setting 12 goals for 2012. May's goal: get your greens in!
For my part, I'm going to focus on simple meals and snacks that are easy to make and don't require having a ton of unique ingredients available in your pantry. Oh, and I'll probably use a loose definition of "greens". There's a good chance that I'll consider it green if it comes out of the ground and is or was green at some point. You've been warned.
Now, here's an easy one: add spinach to your pasta. This is so simple and really requires little effort, which is great if you're feeling lazy tired after a long day. First, select your pasta. Second, cook your pasta. Third add baby spinach and sauce and toss together. The spinach will wilt quickly and isn't that noticeable for those of you with picky eaters.
Since we're trying to keep it healthy, we decided to add protein to our mix. This weekend I came across some al fresco sweet apple chicken sausage and I figured why not? What's the worst that can happen? After all, there are a few foods that I really dislike…you know…like CHICKEN and SAUSAGE!
Something crazy happened when the two came together and I liked it.
Did I like it mixed in with red sauce? Maybe not; although the combination was an interesting mix of sweet and tangy, I don't know if I'll make it with the sweet apple sausage again (really, what was I thinking?), but I would definitely try another one of their recipes.

Mission Statement
The Reason for the Season / Why are we doing this?
- Continue the story of our windmills. The original intent of the Festivals was to fund, finance, restore and erect the windmill collection at the 2nd Chance Ranch. The Windmills with their History had more to do with settling the west than the gun itself. If it were not for the windmill, man or livestock could not settle far from streams or rivers. The original goal of restoring our windmills will continue. Many are in poor state of repair due to storm damage over the years.
- Restore Longwood Country School. Nebraska had more school Districts than any other state in America. Custer County had more school districts than any county in Nebraska. Longwood District No 6 was reunited with the swing, merry go round, teeter totter and flag pole purchased 30 years ago by Gunter Nuxoll, an eighteen-year-old with vision beyond his years.
- Repair the Dempster House. Named after the Beatrice, Nebraska company that made the Dempster windmills which totally surround It. This house was built in 1897 by a homesteader, and moved two miles from the Treptow family who last owned it. It has seen stars from the festivals on the inside as well as the stars which have shown above it.
- Re-Ignite the concerts that brought the finest talent in the world to the Windmill Festival, Comstock Rock and Godstock. Also help honor investors and ticketholders of the past.
- Help develop tourism in Comstock and the surrounding area. Comstock has two businesses: a bar and pop machine. It once had 60 legitimate businesses.

FC Dallas 2, Philadelphia Union 0 | 2018 MLS Match Recap
FC Dallas remain one of the only two unbeaten teams in the league. The Philadelphia Union remain searching for answers and goals.
At a rainy Toyota Stadium on Saturday night, second-half substitutes Mauro Diaz and Maximiliano Urruti struck for goals after the break to propel Dallas to a 2-0 win over visiting Philly.
Diaz broke the scoreless deadlock on a 64th-minute penalty kick after Auston Trusty took down Matt Hedges in the box. Trusty was one of two teenagers starting at center back for Philly, along with Mark McKenzie, who was making his MLS debut in place of the injured Jack Elliott.
Urruti sealed the win 10 minutes later, running onto a Roland Lamah through ball and using a clever touch to get around Union goalkeeper Andre Blake, who made eight saves on the night, including a couple of diving ones.
Three Things
BIG PICTURE: FC Dallas have quietly been one of the best teams in MLS this year, improving to 3-0-3 and keeping pace with New York City FC as the only club without a loss. And after Saturday's shutout, they've only allowed three goals through six games. The Union (1-3-2), meanwhile, have only scored once in the past five games and haven't won since the season opener.
MOMENT OF THE MATCH: While Blake provided most of the goalkeeping highlights of the night, it was Dallas goalie Jimmy Maurer who came through with a fantastic double save on David Accam and CJ Sapong in the 58th minute, keeping the game tied and setting the stage for Dallas' late breakthrough.
Jimmy Maurer isn't human. #FCDvPHI pic.twitter.com/ozGzZfNigZ— Carter Baum (@CarterBaum) April 22, 2018
MAN OF THE MATCH: Diaz only played 29 minutes but completely changed the game after coming in, along with Urruti. Credit there goes to head coach Oscar Pareja, too, for making the timely subs after watching his team continually get behind the Union's young backline in the first half while failing to find the back of the net.
Next Up
- DAL: Sunday, April 29 at New York City FC (6:30 pm ET | Full TV & Streaming Info)
- PHI: Saturday, April 28 vs. D.C. United (3:30 pm ET | Full TV & Streaming Info)

This article is my five minutes of fame, I think? My local newspaper interviewed me last week and then today the article was published online and I think it might be out in print later this week.
It's kinda awesome, in a way, apart from the terrible photograph. My dad sent off the poem and then was like "oh, by the way, I just sent off one of your poems to the newspaper" and I was like "oh cool" without thinking much of it, because honestly, I didn't think they would respond. But they did, and now I'm in the newspaper.
You can read it if you like but, if you've seen my Instagram, you will already have read the poem on there. 🙂

The winner of best actress for her performance in Memories of Matsuko at the 1st Asian Film Awards, actress-singer Nakatani talked about the hardships the film industry in Japan faces in her acceptance speech.
