Current Research
My research examines how people deal with massive violence, and specifically how they talk about violence in legal categories. One of my projects investigates how criminal trials for state repression in Argentina and Germany helped to create certain imaginaries of perpetrators and responsibility, of law and legality, and of suffering and victimhood.
The new project (part of a SSHRC funded interdisciplinary collaboration) investigates how people made specific forms of violence such as bombing, genocide, and enforced disappearances visible to international law. This project involves an inquiry into the ways in which international law takes notice of violence and declares it a matter of international concern. It also involves an examination of the strategies by which social movements succeeded in making specific forms of violence a matter of concern for international criminal law. The project will also consider the effects of international criminal law's specific modes of seeing violence on conflicts, identity politics, and advocacy.
At the undergraduate level, I enjoy teaching LAWS 3908 (Approaches in Legal Studies II), which introduces students to different forms of critical research on the basis of a theme. I teach this course with a focus on human rights and Truth and Reconciliation Commissions in Canada and South Africa.
I also teach the LAWS 6000 doctoral seminar, which offers a platform for PhD students to think about current debates in Legal Studies broadly understood.
In all courses I teach, I try to incorporate a variety of different approaches to the study of law: we will examine the relationship between law and broader culture, we will read court decisions as literary texts, and we will draw on a wide range of sources including NGO documents, literature, court decisions, visual culture, and film in order to analyze human rights and law.
Even when the course is designated as a lecture, I aim for a seminar style: even the "lectures" will include discussions and group work. More on my teaching style: HERE
I supervise graduate students in the following areas:
- Human rights
- Critical histories of international law
- Decolonizing international law and human rights
- Transitional justice and international criminal law
- Law, visuality, and knowledge
- Legal Theory and histories of legal thought
- Law, memory, and reconciliation

5 star Gourmet Wine & Food tasting Viator Review
We are so lucky here at Unique Tours to be able to offer our visitors to downtown Auckland such a wonderful product "The Gourmet Wine & Food Tasting Tour" and lucky for us our visitors get the idea behind it and ultimately love the experience, as this visitor so aptly describes:
Date of Travel: 15 January 2018
"Mimi's Gourmet Wine and Food Tour was ridiculously enjoyable! My husband and I really felt that we had won some kind of lottery. Imagine sitting at 4 acclaimed Auckland restaurants, basically one on one with chefs and assistants, enjoying pairings of delectable appetizer portions of some of the most creative and eclectic dishes, along with wine tastings to match. Because the tour meets late afternoon you seem to have the full commitment of the staff. Most memorable, if I had to pick, were the mussels dripping in butter and ginger sauce, followed by he/she cocktails made by the Auckland famous bartender, Jesus. The Wine Chambers reminded us of Paris, but the delightful Martina described it was really inspired by a German restaurant. We loved it all so much, we were inspired to continue in the evening at another one of Martina's restaurants, Number 5, where we continued to delight in fabulous Auckland food heaven. We could go on… but Mimi made it all such a wonderful continuous pleasure with her knowledge of Auckland's history and her clear connection and relationship with the restaurants on her tour. If you are in Auckland.. this is a must and will provide you with eating out ideas for the rest of your time in Auckland."
We are sincerely pleased this lovely couple had the best of times and is taking full advantage of their newfound knowledge of the hidden gems in terms of eateries around this downtown area.

(First one of these! - Excitement on another level)
We're happy to introduce our new category: Break In The City!
We've expanded yet again our areas of coverage, and decided to share more about lifestyle, travel, and food. Although we are now both based in Beirut, our travel schedules are never dull; and with so many of you asking about different locations we post and restaurants we frequent (mainly on our snapchat, if you haven't followed, here's our username: imperial twist or follow my personal snap on: lamaelkhalil), we thought we'd open up about our travel diaries.
Every now and then, we'll be discussing a city that we've visited around the globe and share our favourite restaurants, sights to see, and must visit exhibitions (as well as many other random things we think are interesting).
Break In The City: New York Edition
Last summer, we had the chance to visit New York on several different occasions. With many family members in the city, we were sure to be in safe hands. My sister, Racha, who's been living full time in the city that never sleep, knows what's good, what's to be avoided, and of course -a must for us in every city- locations where we should twist!
Trump Soho
Probably my favourite hotel in the world, this super trendy hotel is located in Soho and it's walking distance from some of the best trendy shops and restaurants in the area. The rooms are so comfy and well maintained, you'll love your stay there. The view from the room is also amazing, showing you the New York skyline in a way that is Instagram post worthy. It's also a celebrity hotspot, particularly a Kardashian-Jenner favourite when visiting the city.
The Quinn
This hotel is a great one if you want to stay in midtown without paying the price of staying on 5th avenue. Honestly, compared to the Four Seasons between 5th and Madison, this is a much better hotel! Not only is it newly renovated, it's much more well maintained with top quality bedding and great service. Recommended!
When it comes to food, the city is so multicultural, you're sure to find anything you're looking for or craving. And with so many restaurants available (you can literarily try a different restaurant every night for 52 years without visiting the same one twice), wether you're on a budget or want to splurge you'll always find spots that are great.
The Smith
A personal favourite of mine, this restaurant has so much variety. It's a casual yet chic diner but with the freshest product you'll ever taste. They even serve a special brunch on Sundays. Make sure to call in a reservation before going at peak hours, it tends to fill up fast.
Mercer Kitchen
This place is known for being a celebrity hot spot, it's actually one of Kim Kardashian's favourites in the city. Located in the trendy Soho area, this Jean-Georges rest is a two story spot with an underground section that gives it an even more lush feel. The menu is relatively small, but the food is scrumptious. My personal favourite dish is their steamed shrimp salad (I know it doesn't sound like much, but this simple dish is just beyond!)
Remember when Carrie Bradshaw had her rehearsal dinner in the Sex and the City movie? Well, that scene took place at Buddakan. And if it's worth hosting her rehearsal dinner there, it must be good, no? Not only is the restaurant super chic, sophisticated, and hip, the food is just amazing. The Asian resto offers a wide variety of dishes that are yummy with a twist. A little more on the pricey side, you'll find dishes like foie gras dumpling, lobster fried rice, and ribs. Basically taking the traditional and making it New York worthy. If you have a trendy bunch you're going out with, this spot will dazzle them away.
Sushi Yasuda
This restaurant is one of the best in the world! It's not one with the nicest interior, it's actually very very simple, but the food is excellent. Rated a 27/30 on Zagat, you can imagine how fresh the fish is there. Also a little pricey, but if you're there and want to make the best out of it, go for the chef's Omasake menu (tasting menu with the chef serving you the best that the resto has to offer).
Del Posto
One of the best Italian restaurants in town, this place will surely hit the right spot if you're craving the cuisine. This place is more of a "luxurious experience" because of the price tag associated, but if you want to splurge then you know where to go!
Milk Bar
Momofuku's milk bar is one of those places that are so talked about yet so hidden and not in your face. Everyone that lives in NY has tried this place out, it serves the BEST simple ice cream you'll ever taste: cereal milk with crunchy cereal. Seriously, it's one of the best things I've ever tasted (and it looks just as good as it tastes). You'll actually feel like you're eating a refreshing bowl of cereal, only with a twist. Also their tiny b'day cake truffles are to die for (but you'll get a sugar rush instantly).
Big Gay Ice Cream
If any of your are following any page that posts from or about New York, then you've surely seen pictures of the ice cream this place serves. I walked blocks and blocks in New York to try it out, and even though it was super cold the first time I had it, I just really couldn't resist. The Salty Pimp is freaking amazing, worth a try!
Levain Bakery
Probably one of the best bakeries in the city. This place has queues that will have you waiting for hours! They serve the freshest homemade cookies, and for anyone that has a sweet tooth this will do you good. If you want the sweets but don't want to wait, order then thru postmates (one of our favourite websites when in the states, will make your life much easier).
Food Festivals
Every Saturday, Williamsburg Brooklyn showcases 100+ local and regional food vendors making it one of the most popular tourist destinations in Brooklyn. The market opens come rain or shine, and it's the best if you want to sample those popular dishes you've heard about like the ramen burger or the cookie ice cream sandwich. It's open from April to November!
One of the best things you'll get to be treated to when you're in the states is the ease of ordering online. A personal favourite of the Twisters is Nastygal.com where you'll find key pieces at an affordable price. Wherever you're staying you'll get the convenience of ordering all you want online.
Although there's a bunch of really nice designer boutiques in Manhattan, it can sometimes get overwhelming with the influx of items coming your way. The easier way to shop is to go to a multi-brand store that covers all you need, and this one is one of the best in the country. Head to the store (which has a couple of different locations in the city) and shop the new arrivals.
Department Stores
New York is known for having some of the greatest and most luxurious department stores in the world. Thanks to the big Bs (Barneys, Bergdorf, and Bloomingdales), you're sure to discover a world of luxury and elegance that is beyond anything you want.
Gagosian Gallery
For those who have an eye for art and want to visit a really nice gallery that showcases some of the nicest exhibitions, look no further than the Gagosian gallery. My sister, whose an Arts major, interned at the gallery and takes me every time I'm in town to see the exhibitions they're showing to the public. Every single time I visit, I fall more and more in love with art. Truthfully, I don't know much about art, but the gallery always has beautiful things to see. Worth the visit!
MoMA museum
This museum is one of the most talked about museums in the world, and is often identified as the most influential museum of modern art in the world; including but not limited to pieces from: Pablo Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh, Andy Warhol... So for those interested in modern art, this will be a great place to see!
Taymour Grahne Gallery
Lebanese born Grahne opened his gallery in September 2014, and is located in a 4,000 square foot space in the heart of TriBeCa in the city. It is the perfect space to cure and buy contemporary emerging and established artists. We're proud Lebanese!
Break OUT of the city
The Hamptons
For Fourth of July celebrations last summer (which is huge in the states) we decided to take a mini trip out of the city. It is so convenient in the US to travel, you can rent a car and just drive up to your destination (for this specific destination you can even go by heli). We were a group of 9 and decided to rent a big SUV which was honestly perfect for us. The trip to our destination was so much fun, and the Hamptons were even funner. We stayed at a chalet beachside curtesy of Gurney's Montauk, highly recommended!
Hope this little guide is helpful for you guys, and we really hope you'll enjoy the city just as much as we did. Have fun and have a great break in the city!

Tongue & Cheek is set to open in a few weeks, and if you're following the restaurant or chef/owner Jamie DeRosa on Twitter or Facebook, chances are you've encountered some interesting characters.
Part animal and part beast, these well-dressed hybrids have been popping up all over social media. We wanted to know more about these characters -- namely, will they be serving us, or will they be served when the restaurant by DeRosa and partner Michael Reginbogin opens?
Read also:
- Tongue & Cheek to Open in SoFi: We Chat With Chef/Partner Jamie DeRosa
New Times: Who is designing all of those characters you have on your Facebook page and your logos?
Jamie DeRosa: Deep Sleep Studio is our branding partner. Creative director Alex Martinez and his team at Deep Sleep complement our vision, creativity, and style perfectly. After being introduced by a mutual friend a few months ago, we instantly recognized their level of originality and inventiveness.
Can you tell us about them and what they represent? Do they have names and backgrounds?
The illustrations are a bit eccentric but really capture our sensibilities. They have an air of refinement too, which we thought was important. What we loved most about them is that they project personality and a sense of story without having a name or story attached to them. They become what the viewer sees in them.
Was this your vision?
The resulting vision was a collaboration between [Michael and myself] and Alex.
What other design elements will be incorporated into the restaurant?
In addition to being co-owner, Michael Reginbogin is also one of the designers. He capitalized on his previous residential design experience to create a space that seamlessly merges rustic qualities with a contemporary sensibility, all while keeping the space light, airy, and welcoming.
All artwork is original by local artist Claudio Picasso and was commissioned to not only add local flavor but also spark intrigue and commentary while complementing the color palette of the surrounding furnishings. He spent countless hours researching old archive photos of Miami to hang in the main dining room.

Support Our Journalism
How does the design influence the food and vice versa?
The space is a reflection of the menu in the sense that it seamlessly combines technique and detail with a seemingly uncomplicated arena.
You've thought of everything, down to the uniforms. Who is doing them?
Our design team also consists of Alfredo Malatesta and his team at Flavour Gallery, who helped engineer the development of our uniforms, which will be worn by both our kitchen and service teams, with several different styles and branding illustrations to choose from.

TAIPEI, Taiwan — Taiwan's president welcomed a U.S. decision to sell the island up to $6.5 billion in advanced weaponry, while China warned the move would damage relations between Beijing and Washington.
Chinese Assistant Foreign Minister He Yafei summoned U.S. diplomatic representatives to make a strong protest, according to a statement Saturday on the Foreign Ministry's Web site.
"The Chinese government and the Chinese people strongly oppose and object to the U.S. government's actions, which harm Chinese interests and Sino-U.S. relations," Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao said in the statement.
The White House announced the package, which includes Apache helicopters and Patriot III missiles, in a notification to the U.S. Congress on Friday. The State Department said the deal would proceed if no lawmaker voices any objection within 30 days.
Required to defend
The United States is required by law to provide Taiwan with defensive weapons against a possible invasion by China. It remains Taiwan's most important ally and largest arms supplier, even after Washington switched its diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing in 1979.
Taiwan and China split amid civil war in 1949. China continues to claim Taiwan as part of its territory and threatens to attack if the island moves to make the break permanent.
Liu said the arms sale interferes with China's internal affairs and harms its national security.
Friday's move came three months after Admiral Timothy Keating, the top U.S. military commander in the Pacific, announced a freeze on U.S. arms sales to Taiwan. Analysts speculated the decision reflected U.S. reluctance to anger China before President George W. Bush attended the Olympics in Beijing in August.
On Saturday, Taiwan's Presidential Office spokesman Wang Yu-chi thanked the U.S. and said his government wants to maintain a strong defense against any threat from China while seeking improvement in cross-strait relations.
"President Ma Ying-jeou would like to express gratitude to the U.S. for the arms package," said Wang. "A strong defense and peace in the Taiwan Strait are necessary for Taiwan's prosperity."
Since taking office in May, Ma has turned the corner on his predecessor's hard-line China policy and pushed for better mainland ties.
He has opened the island up for an increased number of mainland tourists, and facilitated regular direct flights across the 100-mile-(160-kilometer)-wide Taiwan Strait. He also has loosened restrictions on Taiwanese investment in China, and welcomed Chinese investors to the island.

An Indian friend of mine who had lived for a year in Europe said, "Europeans are always asking, 'How much?' and 'Why?' and 'What time is it?'" I have never forgotten her words, because I find that they are true.
But Europeans may not be the only ones with that obsession. 'How many will be saved?' the disciples of Jesus wanted to know. He didn't answer their question. Instead he told them how they themselves might be saved. Similarly when he was talking about the destruction of the Temple, all they wanted to know was, 'When is it going to happen?' (Matthew 24:3). He didn't answer that question either. 'How can this man give us his flesh to eat?' (John 6:52). No answer. 'How can a man be born when he is old?' Nicodemus asked (John 3:4). No answer. There must be a message in that.
The passage from curiosity to wisdom is a very long one, but it is our slowness that makes it long. Idle questions make us dawdle along the way: they don't challenge us, they only entertain. They are the main reason we read the papers and watch TV.
No doubt curiosity is a good thing; cattle sheep and pigs have hardly any. It makes us different from them, open somehow. But we limit ourselves if we are never more than curious about anything, if we try to keep everything 'out there', not affecting ourselves in any practical way. Then it is a refusal of depth and wisdom. It is better to curb it then: not in order to close that gap that separates us from the beasts, but in order to open our spirit in a still deeper way. Jesus ignored questions that came from mere curiosity.
Will many be saved? Will everyone be saved? Christians haven't always been wise in the way they approached these questions. Even St Augustine put a foot wrong. He lived from 354 – 430, but he was the first to claim to know that there were people in hell. That he was the first is a remarkable fact, for it shows that for 400 years Christians approached the profound mystery of salvation without the curious question, 'How many?' The great modern theologian, Hans Urs von Balthasaar, summed up the matter. If you claim to know that there are people in hell, he wrote, you are claiming to know more than you can know; and if you claim to know that there is no-one in hell, you are also claiming to know more than you can know. In other words, curiosity is not gratified in this matter. It is too profound for curiosity.
Jesus responded to the question by saying what you (and I) should do if you (and I) want to be saved. He said it is a narrow door. If he had said, "It's dead easy to get into the Kingdom of heaven, don't worry, relax," no one, or very few, would consider it worth lifting a finger for. Anything that comes cheap, or for nothing, must be worthless. George Bernard Shaw said a cynic was a person who knew the price of everything and the value of nothing. We easily confuse price and value, and so we think that what has no price has no value either. In our brutal world everything can be bought, even love - or rather a semblance of it. It means that priceless things like real love, truth, goodness, virtue are thought worthless. Money will get no one into the Kingdom of heaven (Matthew 19:24), but that does not mean that it requires nothing of us. On the contrary, we know that anything of real value requires everything of us. You would love, for example, to be able to give your knowledge and experience to another person automatically, like photocopying a page; you would love to transfer your knowledge of a language or a subject, but it can only be done by effort on both sides. This doesn't mean that you are reluctant to give; on the contrary you would give everything instantly if you could. But if you could do that, the knowledge or the experience or the language would not really become the other person's; it would remain alien material in their memories and minds.
Likewise the Kingdom of God. It requires everything of us, and yet it is all gift.

Many people are interested in buying Invisalign online, which cannot be done. Invisalign is only available through a dentist. But there are there are online alternatives to Invisalign. Are these alternative, clear braces effective? How do they work? What are the risks?
The Basics of Alternative Treatment
Do these Invisalign alternatives really work? Many patients report good results—and they save money. But there are clear advantages to having treatment supervised by your dentist.
What Are the Risks of Buying Online Invisalign Alternatives?
Before you buy Invisalign alternatives or other clear braces online, you should understand the risks. Some considerations are listed below.
Gum Disease – If you have gum disease, orthodontic treatment will aggravate it. A dentist needs to first examine and x-ray your teeth to ensure they are disease free. If you don't have a thorough checkup before using Invisalign or other clear braces online, you can do more harm than good to your teeth.
Crowding – If any of your teeth are overcrowded, in addition to Invisalign or an alternative, you might need intervention from a dentist. In some cases, a small amount of tooth enamel needs to be shaved from the affected teeth to help them move into place. A dentist who isn't invested in your orthodontic case might be hesitant to do the work, or might not do it well.
Other Adjustments – In some cases, you'll need to wear a set of aligners longer than usual, or your treatment plan might need to be adjusted. Periodic in-person checkups with your dentist can catch any unexpected phases of your treatment. Although an online company might ask you to periodically send photos of your progress, your dentist can more readily notice subtle problems.
What Do We Recommend?
We can't recommend online alternatives to Invisalign or buying clear braces online at all, but if you want your teeth straightened with the best results, we recommend that you speak with your dentist about it. Find out how your dentist can make Invisalign affordable for you through payment plans or financing. If you can't afford it right now, it might be in the best interests of your long-term oral health to wait.
This post is sponsored by San Jose dentists Dr. Ralph Stanley, Dr. Magdalena Azzarelli, and Dr. Rogé Jacob.

I have just ordered a celestron 6" refractor about two days ago. I am supposed to pick it up in a week or so. Just about everything I have read has said good things about this scope. I sure hope I like it. I have a owned an 8" sct for the last year or so and was generally pleased with it. Can't wait to try large refractor. If anyone has any advice on this scope, please e-mail me at email@example.com Thanks Greg

I ordered one a week ago and am excited for it's arrival. I wanted to pick up about 3 other eyepieces for this scope. If you have had a good experience with any specific eyepieces could you e-mail me at email@example.com. I know some eyepieces find a "sweetspot" with certain scopes and wanted to some help in finding them faster. Thanks for any help you could offer.

I've had the 150 for a few months and have mixed feelings about it. The optics are very good but quite a number of other improvements are called for. I will replace the tripod with a pier and hope I can retain the factory mount. A pier will steady it and it will surely look good. In an effort to balance the front heavy tube, I'll take the advice mentioned and try a waste metal zinc weight on the rear of the bracket rail. Either that or the $50 tube balancer offered by AstroSky. I've read much of the comments on further viewing improvements, but with all that's been said I am not quite sure about what my very next step should be. Should I first go to a 2" diagonal and eyepieces? Someone mentioned that the secret was in the diagonal and to replace the prism with a "Brandon Quartz, 99% coating, 1/20 wave PTV." Sounds good. Where might I purchase that? Also suggested was the "Chromacor" to improve color performance. Anyone else familiar with the Chromacor? What exactly is it? The scope star tests okay but I do get some annoying chromatic aberration. Whatever you guys can tell regarding my next step would be most welcome, either on these pages or preferably directly to me at email@example.com. Thanks.

I have an offer that will enable me to pick up a CR 150 for $500.00. My question is, would it be possible to mount this scope on a high quality camera tripod that I've been using for my Fuji binoculars. Obviously I've never owned a scope before. This will be my first and I appreciate anyone that can advise me on this. The tripod is quite heavy and extends to about 70 inches. I just am not sure if the mount that comes with the scope would adapt to the tripod. Either way, I'm going to make the purchase due to the outstanding reviews above. I'm going to put this OTA on a pier if I can't use what I already own....Please help.

IRT to your comments. The tripod you have now will not handle this scope. The mounting is wrong. Email me at email@example.com. Or check out www.egroups.com and join the chinese refractor groups and post there. The memebers should guide you down the right path Rich

Prediction of continental shelf sediment transport using a theoretical model of the wave-current boundary layer

This thesis presents an application of the Grant-Madsen-Glenn bottom boundary layer model (Grant and Madsen, 1979; Glenn and Grant, 1987) to predictions of sediment transport on the continental shelf. The analysis is a two-stage process. Via numerical experiment, we explore the sensitivity of sediment transport to variations in model parameters and assumptions. A notable result is the enhancement of suspended sediment stratification due to wave boundary layer effects. When sediment stratification is neglected under conditions of large wave bottom velocities, concentration predictions can be more than an order of magnitude higher than any observed during storm conditions on the continental shelf. A number of limitations to application emerged from the analysis. Solutions to the stratified model are not uniquely determined under a number of cases of interest, potentially leading to gross inaccuracies in the prediction of sediment load and transport. Load and sediment transport in the outer Ekman Layer, beyond the region of emphasis for the model, can be as large or larger than the near-bottom estimates in some cases; such results suggest directions for improvements in the theoretical model. In the second step of the analysis, we test the ability of the model to make predictions of net sediment transport that are consistent with observed sediment depositional patterns. Data from the Mid-Atlantic Bight and the Northern California coast are used to define reasonable model input to represent conditions on two different types of shelves. In these examples, the results show how the intensification of wave bottom velocities with decreasing depth can introduce net transport over a region. The patterns of erosion/deposition are shown to be strongly influenced by sediment stratification and moveable bed roughness. Also predicted by the applications is a rapid winnowing out of fine grain size components when there is even a small variation of bed grain size texture in the along-flow direction.

Parasitic alien seed pods capable of replicating organic life settle near the Californian town of Santa Mira and begin to create copies of its inhabitants. Dr. Miles Bennell becomes aware of the invasion through his patients' reports of changes in the behaviour of family members.
Jack Finney's 1955 novel The Body Snatchers lacks internal coherence.
It is never adequately explained how the initial pods manage to position themselves next to their victims, nor what happens to those Santa Mirans who are reproduced, nor, if the pods need to be cultivated in the manner the final scene suggests, how the first generation harvested themselves, nor how the pods are able to propel themselves into and through space.
It is never adequately explained how the initial pods manage to position themselves next to their victims, nor what happens to those Santa Mirans who are reproduced, nor, if the pods need to be cultivated in the manner the final scene suggests, how the first generation harvested themselves, nor how the pods are able to propel themselves into and through space.
Looking beyond its shortcomings, the most productive reading of Finney's work may be as a study in the undermining of mid-fifties American values. A Cold War paranoia that speaks of a coming-to-awareness of the alienation that the seeds of consumerism have propagated in American society pervades the work. The havoc that the mindless compulsion of the parasitic invaders wreaks mirrors the power of self-interested economic individualism to erode and ultimately destroy a sense of communally forged, collectively expressed shared values, and intimates that the socio-economic enemy within is far more of a danger to the continuation of social arrangements than that which any external threat may pose.
I'd grown up here; from boyhood I'd known every street, house, and path, most of the back yards, and every hill, field, and road for miles around. And now I didn't know it any more. Unchanged to the eye, what I was seeing out there now -- in my eye, and beyond that in my mind -- was something alien.
The lighted circle of pavement below me, the familiar front porches, and the dark mass of houses and town beyond them -- were fearful. Now they were menacing, all these familiar things and faces; the town had changed or was changing into something very terrible, and was after me. It wanted me, too, and I knew it. (Loc. 1349-51; 1351-53)Bennell and his handful of unadapted associates seem powerless to act against the alien agency, and incapable of formulating a plan to resist them:
We were[...] overwhelmed, not knowing what else to do, how to fight back, or against what. Something impossibly terrible, yet utterly real, was menacing us in a way beyond our comprehension or abilities; and we fled. (Loc. 1497-98)
"Miles, when did all this happen?" Becky gestured to indicate the length of the semi-deserted street behind and ahead of us. "A little at a time," I said, and shrugged. "We're just realizing it now; the town's dying." (Loc. 1677-80)Unlike film adaptations of the work, Finney chose to give The Body Snatchers a redemptive, and deeply unconvincing, ending. However, the lasting impression that this uneven yet highly readable entry to the SF Masterworks series makes on this reader is that societies that are prepared to allow themselves to be dominated by forces intrinsically hostile to the collective good come to regard elements of their own genus as outsiders.
"You look shocked, actually sick, and yet what has the human race done except spread over this planet till it swarms the globe two billion strong? What have you done with this very continent but expand till you fill it?" (Loc. 2516-18)

Jim Cramer, like John McCain, is strong on defense. Just for different reasons than the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
While the Arizona senator's pro-Iraq War stance could push the defense budget even higher, Cramer's concerned only with the stocks that would benefit as a result.
Lockheed Martin , Northrop Grumman , Raytheon , General Dynamics , L-3 – they could all reap a windfall from increased defense spending. And with the Democrats bickering, possibly hurting their chances in November, the potential for a pro-military McCain in the White House is ever more likely, Cramer said.
But that's not the only reason he likes this sector. Defense stocks are up 7.5% since Cramer's midsummer call, but they're actually cheaper now than they were then. The average defense stock price-to-earnings ratio in July was 14.5. Now, it's 13.6 – versus 19 times earnings for the average S&P 500 stock. That ain't right, Cramer said. Defense companies have better growth and balance sheets, and the outlook for the industry is bullish.
McCain, an Annapolis grad and former Navy pilot, will steer defense spending toward his alma mater, Cramer said, and that's good news for General Dynamics. GD's third behind Lockheed and Northrop as a naval contractor, but the Mad Money host said General Dynamics is overlooked and has a better chance to take share under McCain.
In McCain's Navy, General Dynamics could be the admiral's favorite. But Cramer said Raytheon and Northrop are worth considering as well. Check out this video for an in-depth look at why defense should be owned and this video for more on GD.
Jim's charitable trust owns Raytheon.

Making my own wedding dress was one of the largest projects I have ever taken on, and though I wasn't keeping track, I think I put in easily 150 hours, if not more. The big plus of it all was not having to compromise. I got the exact dress I wanted, and I spent less than $200. This includes making my own dress form. I'm writing a blog about it because there didn't seem to be much out there on the internets about making your own dress. Or at least not an intricate one. If you arrived at this blog because you Googled "Make your own wedding dress" and you're thinking of making a complicated wedding dress, I highly recommend that you only try it if you have many years of sewing experience and have taken tailoring classes. And even then, you might want to consider just getting a part time job and using that money to have someone else make a dress for you so you don't go crazyyyyy.
Still, how fun to have so much control one the look of one's own dress!
This isn't intended as a tutorial, but it might answer some questions about working with circular ruffles, creating a bodice, an overlapping texture, or how to approach a huge project (hint: steal a 12 year-old's ADD meds. Just kidding. Quit drinking coffee and then start up again on the days you need to work on your dress).
The first challenge was to pick out the dress I wanted to base it on. I looked through a ton of dresses online and in magazines, but I kept going back to my first choice, which was Demi Moore's dress from the 2010 Academy Awards, selected from the Atelier Versace Spring 2008 line.
My wedding was in a meadow, so I had to make a dress that was a little bit shorter than this one, or one that had a detachable part.
My next challenge was to get a usable dress form. I ended up making one out of duct tape using one of the many tutorials on YouTube. So far, it looks exactly like Demi's dress!
While it was sitting around in my living room, I put a thrift-store wedding dress on it. Then when I wasn't home, my fiancé put a Stormtrooper helmet on it. It's really scary to get up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water and forget this is in your living room. It looks a lot like a ghost in dim light.
In hindsight, I'm glad I did the dress form this way. First, I saved money. Second, even though the addition of the layers made the form a little bigger than my body, it was close enough to my shape that I was able to sculpt the dress onto it and custom make a dress to my exact contours. Also, since the texture of the duct tape was so much different than the fabric, I was able to hand sew parts of the dress while it was on the form without accidentally stitching the fabric to the form.
Next, I bought a pattern for a prom dress so that I could use it to make the liner for the top of the dress:
The slant of the dress didn't matter, because I pinned the skirt liner to it, pretty much ignoring the slant -The skirt does intentionally sit a little higher on the left side of my body where the fabric flower is.
Next, I made a basic skirt liner, following the pattern of a basic, boring ordinary skirt from my closet. This was my first attempt, but I ended up making a slightly longer one.
Then I went to the fabric district in downtown LA and, over the course of 2 visits, I walked around feeling fabric until I found exactly the texture, color, look and weight that I wanted. This turned out to be a crepe satin. Then I bought ten yards of it, plus 3 yards of sparkly white Organza. I used up every last bit of that ten yards, too. To make the ruffles, I made a donut-shaped pattern out of the tissue paper you use to wrap gifts. The middle was about 4.5″ in diameter, and the thickness of the ring was about 7″. Once I started handling the fabric, I would start off every sewing session by washing my hands and then putting 'Gloves in a bottle' on my hands. I can't even feel that it's there, and it puts a covering over my skin that keeps the oils in my fingers from getting on the dress and discoloring it over time with all the handling. It kept the fabric sparkling-white and also qualified me for a spot in Neurotic Bride magazine.
These donut shapes got cut out and then slit down the middle and sewn to each other. Each layer of ruffles took around 2 and a half donuts.
I also had to painstakingly hem each ruffle. If you haven't already, this would be a good time to develop a relationship with methamphetamines, because this part goes on FOREVER. Just head on out to Elsinore or San Bernardino and start asking around. Just kidding: espresso, and lots. Seriously, put on a good movie, or a book on tape, and just settle in. I gave this about 3 hours a day, almost every day, for several weeks. I even took it to the beach with me.
I sewed each ruffle to the skirt, gradually higher at the point where the "Slit" was going to be. This was never a slit, I just tacked the dress way up at the side of my left leg.
The ruffles were about 4 inches apart, and I marked out the location of each one by drawing a line around the skirt with a blue fabric pencil. I had to make an approximate length ruffle, then pin the ruffle to itself to close the circle, then pin it to the dress, then mark where it should meet, take it back off, sew it together, hem it, and sew it to the dress. You think that sounds hard? The last 3 rows were progressively longer, yet the same length in front as the upper ruffles, so a gradual change in length on each side as it went towards the back, and at that point I had to start using algebra. Yeah, the thing from high school that I thought I'd never use. I had to base each cut on the previous cut, and I ended up using that equation where you figure out the height of the building based on the shadow of the tree next to it and then I went crazy. I had to set the dress aside several times and just let my brain get back to me on it. Sometimes creative problems have to be solved that way. You try and you try, and then you sleep on it and you wake up in the morning with a solution, or at least a plan that you can try out. My sister Lisa did explain to me that this couture dress I was copying was carefully hand sewn by experts, who have time, experience and resources (and grunt-workers). They probably made entire dresses and then scrapped them and started over, before getting the ones they wanted. She was never skeptical about my ability to make it, because she's seen some of the crazy tedious projects I've taken on, but she want me to understand that it was a ha-yuuuuge project. I did start it far enough in advance of the wedding that I could switch to a plan B if the dress was turning out awful. Plan B: any white dress from Forever 21.
SO, the next thing I needed to do was texture the bodice. This is where the organza came in. I cut this on the diagonal because this is non-stretch fabric, and I needed it to have a very slight stretch in order for it to hug the dress form as it came around the sides. Lisa said this is called 'cutting on the bias". I made several strips of the Crepe Satin and Organza at about 18 inches long, 4 inches wide -just long enough to extend past the edges of both sides when it's on a 30 degree angle. Each strip was ironed right before it was used, and then folded in half. I did a few test runs to make sure the fabric was going to look right:
After the test run, I decided I should make longer strips so that they reached each side. I then took it back apart, pinned the front liner of the bodice to the dress form and hand sewed the bodice liner to the skirt of the dress, keeping the side seams open so that they could be sewn together after the texturing was applied. Meaning: the front of the dress was not sewn to the back of the dress until way later. I Then started layering the bodice. I had to start over a few times, because I really wanted to lay down the two different fabrics in a random order, and that proves to be challenging after a while. Some pattern always starts to develop, and any repeats in the layering order started to make it look factory made and prom-dressy. I had to hand sew each strip, one strip at a time, putting the stitch as high up as possible so that it would always be hidden.
This process took another couple of days 😦 But at least I could start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! I repeated the process with the back of the dress.
When I'd made all the adjustments and was ready to sew the sides together, I took the whole thing to my sisters' houses. First my sister Asia helped me make sure all the pieces were sewn down and weren't going to move. Then we added a layer of crepe satin to the bustier, so that if the top of the dress was going to be at all see-through (and it was) then all that would show through was more white satin.
After that, I took the whole thing to my other sister, Lisa's, house. I was afraid to sew it together inside out because the organza and crepe folds on the bust might become askew in the process. I was stumped. Lisa, who has been sewing her whole life and also took tailoring classes, explained to me how important basting is. so we ran some basting stitches down each side before sewing them together. The zipper was added to the side that would have the rosette, and when the zipper was sewn down tight, we took out the basting. This took 3 whole days and many bloody fingertips. Lisa put her life on hold for 3 days and just sewed with me. Note: when you prick your finger, stop and walk away. It's a white dress and you don't want a disaster on your hands.
The final part was creating a rosette out of the top ruffle just over my left hip, and then tacking the top part of the ruffles so that they didn't just look like tiers of curtains on top of each other. We put the dress back on the form to do this.
And….. done! I was lucky enough to have Steph at Stephfowlerphotography.com as my wedding photographer. She's an amazing photographer and has also been one of my closest friends since we were fifteen, so I am double lucky. But more about that on my wedding post.
My brother's girlfriend, Melissa, took some great Instagram pics that day, too, so they will be sprinkled throughout my wedding album.
I'll be back soon with my wedding post!

Creating theater in the shadow of decades-old institutions like Hartford Stage and TheaterWorks can be a formidable challenge for a theater company, but Hartford's HartBeat Ensemble — the relative new kid on the block at 14 years old — has found its niche by focusing on community and creating works that resonate with the people who live here.
It might not garner the awards or even the spotlight, but its connection and commitment to Hartford neighborhoods are heroic, not only in the stories it tells but the lives it affects.
Two years ago it took over the Carriage House Theater on Farmington Avenue (across from the Mark Twain House & Museum), allowing the company of roving players to forgo its nomadic ways. It became an artistic home not only for its nine company members and resident designers, but for its extended family of far-flung artists and devoted followers.
With the new theater, (the site of the former Hartford's Children's Theatre), HartBeat has expanded its loyal "tribe," says co-founding ensemble member Steven Raider-Ginsburg, who follow the work it presents, in readings, workshops and productions as well as the works it presents by others in spoken word shows and concerts.
But its identity is based not just on a building but its community-centric work such as "Graves," "News to Me," "Ebeneeza — A Hartford Holiday Carol," "The Pueblo," "Rich Clown, Poor Clown, Beggar Clown, Thief," "Flipside" and "Riding the Turnpike." Many of its theater projects are created in alliance with other cultural and social groups.
It just completed a four-day workshop of public performances of a new musical, "Gross Domestic Product." The show, which will have a full production next spring, "looks at motherhood as unpaid work."
The musical about the value of motherhood is by co-founding ensemble member Julia B. Rosenblatt in collaboration with New Haven-based director Rachel Alderman of A Broken Umbrella Theatre and Los Angeles-based sound designer Martin Carrillo.
In creating the work Rosenblatt interviewed more than 50 Connecticut mothers as well as collaborated with MomsRising.org, the Crossroads Women's Center and the Connecticut Permanent Commission on the Status of Women.
Last month it also created a free public forum entitled "The Absurdity of Race: A Conversation about Implicit Bias And Police Relations," in association with Everyday Democracy and Charter Oak Cultural Center, where the event was held. Ensemble actors Chinaza Uchee, Brian Jennings and Vanessa Butler performed unfiltered experiences of implicit bias, racism and policing in communities of color.
The next show will be in June with the workshop of "Jimmy and Lorraine," which is described as "a meditation of the American political climate of the late '50s and early '60s" centering on author James Baldwin ("Another Country") and playwright Lorraine Hansberry ("A Raisin in the Sun"). The show is in partnership with the Amistad Center for Art and Culture. A full production is slated for the fall.
Regrouping After Loss
Rosenblatt, Raider-Ginsburg and the third founding ensemble member, Gregory Tate, worked together at the San Francisco Mime Troupe before relocating to Hartford in 2001. It was with the California activist theater that they found their roots in community engagement and socially-connected work on stage.
The company faced a devastating loss in 2012 when Tate, at the age of 60, died from lung cancer. But the resilient company regrouped, established its new permanent home and became busier than ever and now boasts a long list of readings, workshops, productions and outside bookings.
"To me it's combining all my loves," says Rosenblatt. "I love to do theater and I love this city and have a real passion for both."
Says Raider-Ginsburg: "For me I had no perception of any difference between community and theater. It's about people and the way we live."
He compared a recent show that New Haven's Tony Award-winning Long Wharf Theatre presented — Kimber Lee's "brownsville song (b-side for tray)" as an example of the socially connected stories and themes that HartBeat Ensemble does all the time.
"And what we do really connects to young people," says Rosenblatt. "We see a lot of people who are coming here from different perspectives and for various reasons." Recent presentations included a hip-hop show "How to Break," by Aaron Jafferis and "Sugar," Obie Award-winner Robbie McCauley's autobiographical solo show about living with diabetes.
Because of its easy-to-travel shows with a social or political punch, its works find welcoming homes to tour, especially at schools such as Capital Community College, Manchester Community College, Housatonic Community College and Yale University.
And because it has its own theater, it can make it a kind of social center, too. It presents "HartBeat Healthy Happy Hour," a play-reading series and competition designed to tell stories of those living with mental health concerns.
"The social engagement is very important," says Rosenblatt. "And here we created a place where that can happen, in and around the art."
"There aren't many places where people can go and hang out with the artists afterwards," says Rosenblatt, and that might explain the group's high social media profile.
The series is especially attractive to younger, nontraditional audiences because of the social aspect of the event with light food and drink available preceding the reading, says Raider-Ginsburg. "We get a lot of likes and shares and retweets, and that validates us, too," he says. The next "Happy Hour" will be May 21.
HartBeat does not look at its Greater Hartford community as potential audience members but rather as an important part of the play-making. Ensemble members regularly spend months researching a subject by interviewing people from whatever the community or neighborhood the subject is about as it develops its works.
"We create a conversation, and a relevance," says Raider-Ginsburg. "We invite them to help us curate the works and be in the room with us with their great ideas. And they come back again and again. We create a kind of tribe and I think that's what younger folks are looking for too, finding that tribe, that community, to connect multiple times — and not just to be entertained."
The workshop of "Gross Domestic Product" at Carriage House Theater, 360 Farmington Ave., in Hartford through Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 26 at 2 p.m. (A full production is slated next spring.) http://www.hartbeatensemble.org.

One of the finest Italian composers of the 20th century, Giorgio Federico Ghedini was almost 35 when his Litanie alla Vergine received what he described as a 'warm welcome from the public, unreserved praise from all the critics and musicians'. Ghedini's very individual orchestration of J. S. Bach's Musical Offering is notable for its use of a variety of small, usually homogeneous groups from within an orchestra including two pianos but no horns. L'Olmeneta (The Elm Grove) of 1951 is a fascinating concerto for orchestra and two concertante cellos which Ghedini felt were like two complementary herbs, the red Glaspi and the white Egusa, growing far apart but with roots intertwining underground. At the heart of the concerto lies a haunting, yearning, almost Mahlerian slow movement. Reissued here for the first time in more than 50 years, these are the only known surviving recordings of Ghedini conducting his own music.

Hope this has helped y'all a bit!
Happy Easter!
A New Product Recommendation!
So, you're up late browsing the web for ways to make LAST MINUTE Gluten Free Rolls to pair with your Easter ham, and all the recipes have 3,012 steps that you don't care to go through this late. Well, you should go pick up these Udi's rolls at your local grocer! I found them at Ingles, but they're available at other retailers as well. They're delicious, and will be the perfect accent to your Easter Dinner.
I do have one simple suggestion though, seal them in foil packets in groups of two with 1/2 teaspoon of water to cook. It will make them far softer.
Hope this has helped y'all a bit!
Happy Easter!
I've been hearing rave reviews of Pillsbury's Gluten Free Funfetti Cake Mix, but until this week I couldn't find it in a store near me. Sad, I know. Anyway, I found the Gluten Free Funfetti mix at my local Walmart the other day, and thought I'd share my take on it with y'all! My sister made the mix into cupcakes and topped them with almond buttercream . . . (think delectable wedding cake, y'all!!)
Now, we'll split this review into three parts (per usual) Flavor, Texture, and Price. Let's dive right in, shall we?
Awesome. These taste exactly like what I remember of the glutenous version of Funfetti cupcakes. I'd do a side by side comparison for y'all because I'm pretty sure that they're exactly the same, but I won't be doing that because . . . Gluten! Lol. They are simply delicious with no weird aftertaste like some Gluten Free mixes give you. I'd declare the flavor of these a ten out of ten! :)
Perfect. There's no dryness or grittiness whatsoever. My favorite part, however, is they are light and airy with no denseness at all. In fact, texturally, these may be the very best cupcakes I've had since going Gluten Free. I'd give the texture a ten out of ten.
Not bad at all. This mix is $2.98 at my Walmart versus around $4.00 for other similar Gluten Free Cake Mixes I have purchased. They're still more expensive than the glutenous version, but that's on par for almost all Gluten Free products. I wasn't shocked or disappointed. I'm giving the price a ten out of ten, because it's more reasonable than any other Gluten Free Cake mixes I've tried.
I think this mix is absolutely fantastic, the taste is fantastic, they're light and airy and more cost effective than other Gluten Free Cake Mixes I've seen. I'm very excited about this product, and I would definitely recommend it to y'all as well as buying it again myself!! So go out and get one for the weekend, bake it up into cupcakes or another fun application, come back here and post your creation so we can all see how fun the "funfetti" can be!!
As usual, all opinions expressed within this review are mine and mine alone. Pillsbury doesn't have a clue who I am.
Have a Fantastic Friday, y'all!!
Okay y'all, remember when I got my Send Me Gluten Free Box? Well, with that, I received a coupon for a free loaf of Canyon Bakehouse Gluten Free Bread! I picked mine up at Target a couple weeks ago, and realized I NEVER wrote a review. Oops. Well, wait no more because . . . this post is my review! :D
Fantastic! Just like regular bread. No weird dry spots or anything, just a consistent bready texture. I'm giving it ten out of ten stars as it is the breadiest bread I've eaten since going Gluten Free, AND it doesn't need to be toasted to have great texture. It's awesome RIGHT OUT OF THE BAG! *insert angels singing here!*
Just throw it on the counter. It won't matter. Seriously though, IT'S SHELF STABLE! No more gross cold bread sandwiches, no sir. This bread is just grand straight out of the bag. Ten of ten stars for storage.
FABULOUS. Seriously y'all. It tastes like normal bread! It's super duper yummy with some nice flavor complexity, but most importantly, it has flavor of its own. Nothing unpleasant or mostly tasteless like some other Gluten Free breads I've tried. Just really great flavor. Ten of ten stars.
I got it for free with the coupon, but . . . if you did buy it at Target, I believe it'd be around $6. Ouch. I know. I will tell you that though I think it is DELICIOUS; its price is a quite a bit more than I'd like to pay. Seven out of ten stars for price.
I think that Canyon Bakehouse has achieved their mission of having me love bread again. The ONLY way I could love it more . . . is if the price were lower. I'm giving them an eight out of ten. Like I've mentioned, the product is fantastic. However, the price is not stellar.
I hope this review was helpful. Let me know if you've tried their bread and what you thought of it in the comments below!
As usual, all opinions are solely my own, Canyon Bakehouse has NO clue who I am.
Have a great day y'all!
Mom's Best Cereal Review!
Okie dokie, I figured we might as well stay on the theme I've created this week with breakfast food reviews!
Up for review today is . . . Safari Cocoa Crunch from Mom's Best Cereal!
Great! They're quite tasty, and have awesome chocolatey flavor, with no funky aftertaste!
Now, just as a warning . . . they don't taste like cocoa puffs, but they are DELICIOUS!
10/10 stars for flavor.
Awesome. No weird gritty texture, or anything else strange.
In fact, the texture is actually quite smooth for a corn cereal.
10/10 stars for texture.
Not bad at all. We buy it at Kroger for around $2.50 a box, and have found it 10 for $10 there as well.
You can also find it on Amazon for $4.99 a box.
10/10 stars for price.
This cereal gets 10/10. Great taste, great texture, and great price! What more could you want in a cereal!?
That's all for today y'all!
Let me know if you've tried this cereal, and what you think of it in the comments below!
Have a great day y'all!
Gluten Free Chex Oatmeal!
Okay y'all, I picked up a variety pack of Chex Gluten Free Oatmeal at Kroger the other day, and thought I'd tell y'all what I thought of this new product!
Ease of use:
Super Simple. Pour Oatmeal into bowl, Boil water, Pour water over oats, Stir, Enjoy. 5/5 Stars, because it seriously couldn't be simpler.
Fantastic! Just in case y'all hadn't noticed yet, I'm a big fan of oatmeal, and I eat it fairly regularly. My favorite flavor out of these was the Maple Brown Sugar. It's super yummy. Flavor gets 5/5 Stars.
So many instant oatmeal packets give you close to no oatmeal, these are different. The packaging touts that they're hearty servings, and I would completely agree! (picture below) 5/5 Stars.
These are awesome products. The flavor is great, they're quick and easy for breakfast on the go, and they have decent portion size. I'd give Chex Gluten Free Oatmeal a 5/5. I TOTALLY recommend it.
As usual, all opinions are my own, and Chex has NO clue who I am!
Have an awesome day y'all!
Modern Oats Review
A few weeks ago I won a giveaway on the I'm A Celiac blog! I wrote an initial review, and I promised an in-depth one later. Well, it's later, and here's my more expanded overview! ;D
As y'all know, I received a variety pack which included one of each of the following flavors:
My favorite by far was the Nuts & Seeds. The flavors all blended together perfectly, and it had an awesome combination of spices I really enjoyed.
Now, I'm sure you're thinking, "Well, Olivia, oatmeal is great and all, but is there anything else I can do with this stuff?"
Why, yes, yes there is!
You can make cookies! :D I made some with the Chocolate Cherry oatmeal! You can find the recipe on the container of Modern Oats, and get great breakfast cookies! They were a bit dense in texture. Other than that, they're AWESOME!
You can find my blog post about taking the ingredients above and turning them into cookies here!
As if that wasn't enough cool things about Modern Oats, they are also:
Overall, I think Modern Oats is an awesome company with awesome products!
I loved every single flavor I tried and hope they'll be sold in a store near me sometime soon!
To find them in a store near you, check out the Find A Location page on their website!
Or, you can order online here.
Hope y'all found this helpful!
As usual, all opinions are solely my own! Modern Oats has no idea who I am!
Have an AWESOME day!
Today I'm going to talk about the Krusteaz Gluten Free Honey Cornbread Mix! Here's some information on it:
And here are the instructions:
Here's what my cornbread looked like once I cooked it:
(Yes, it's in a cast iron skillet)
So, we'll go about this in the usual fashion here at Livie's Gone Gluten Free by discussing the product in categories and then ranking those categories with stars!
It's a touch on the crumbly side, which is really strange because it is moist. Yet it crumbles SUPER easily. (Just a hint though, this problem can be significantly decreased by a sizable dollop of butter). I'm giving the texture 3/5 stars.
GREAT! I thought the flavor was fantastic. It has a far more authentic cornbread taste than other cornbread mixes I have purchased -- a pleasant surprise. I think it tastes delicious. I'm giving the flavor 5/5 stars.
Not terrible. The price I paid at Walmart is pretty much on par with all the other Gluten Free Cornbread Mixes I can get locally. I'd give the price a solid 4/5 stars.
I think it's a great product, and I will most likely buy it again. It's got a great corny cornbread taste that is superior to others I've tried. My only issue is that it crumbles VERY easily. If it weren't for that, this product would get 5/5 stars. However, because of the crumbliness; it gets a 4/5.
Hope y'all found this review helpful!!
As usual, ALL opinions in this post are mine and mine alone. Krusteaz has NO IDEA who I am.
If you've tried this product, please let me know what you thought of it in the comments below!!
Have an awesome Saturday, Y'all!
Cup 4 Cup Brownie Mix Review
Okie dokie y'all, today I'll be doing my review on the Cup 4 Cup Brownie Mix as promised! :D
Let's dive in . . . shall we?
As you can see, I added maraschino cherries to half the pan, SO YUMMY. Anyways, moving on to my review:
Perfect. Exactly as a brownie should be. Not too moist, but not too crunchy. They're just right! They're the Goldilocks' oatmeal of brownies. I'd give them a five out of five for texture! :D
Yummy! They're perfectly chocolatey without being overtly rich. The cherries were an awesome addition to the overall flavor. :D For flavor I'd give these brownies a five of five.
Um . . . pricey? See:
Now, in the area of full disclosure, I got this mix on sale for $11.11 including tax, but it's still more then I'd like to pay for a brownie mix on a regular basis. For stars I'd give them a three out of five.
I liked these. A lot. The texture is great. The flavor is GREAT . . . but, the price is KILLER. I'm sorry, but I just can't justify spending that much on brownies. I'd totally recommend these if they were priced more reasonably, but I currently can't do that because of how overpriced they are.
Hope y'all enjoyed this review! Let me know if you've tried these in the comments below!
Have a GREAT day y'all!

Rudi's Spinach Tortillas
Okay y'all, today I'm going to review Rudi's Gluten Free Bakery Spinach Tortillas! :D
To start off, I bought them at Kroger where eight of them were $1.29 on Manager's Special (proof in the picture below) their regular price is listed as $2.64 which is FAR better price wise than Aldi's LiveGfree Wraps (six for $3.99) So, that's awesome. They get MAJOR points for great price, right? But, I'm sure you're wondering "how do they taste?" Well . . .
Let's be all scientific and break this up into categories . . . shall we?
Fabulous. A bit thinner than your run of the mill glutenous tortilla, but fabulous none the less. Out of 10 stars, I'd give the texture a solid 8. The definitely could be fluffier, but this isn't naan we're talking about here, it is tortillas. And for tortillas, these are pretty stinkin' awesome!
FANTASTIC. You can roll these up, and nothing happens. Want to bend one in half for a sandwich? NO PROBLEM! These will do that. Unlike other Gluten Free tortillas I've tried, these are truly pliable. 10 out of 10 stars.
The big question . . . "How do these taste!?" Well, I'm gonna tell ya'. Ready? Okay! (a little former cheerleader lingo there)
These taste awesome. Maybe it's just because I've been loving anything spinach lately, but these are delicious!
They have a savory flavor, but it is definitely not straight spinach. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying to use these for PB&J, but you may be surprised by how subtle the spinach flavor really is. Overall, they get 10 out of 10 stars for taste!
And, finally . . .
Now, I know we touched on this a second ago, but I truly think these are UNBEATABLE for the price. I'm hoping there will still be some on Manager's Special next time I head to Kroger! For price I'm giving these 10 out of 10 because I've NEVER seen Gluten Free tortillas for this price, and I'm SO excited about these! ;)
That's all the gushing I can do on these in one post, but I would DEFINITELY recommend them! So go try some, I bet you'll like them! You can even make a quesadilla like I did! See:
(As usual, ALL opinions expressed in this review are my own. Rudi's has NO IDEA who I am, though I am definitely interested in making new friends. Hear that, Rudi?)
Have a Tremendous Thursday, y'all!

I'm a sinner saved by grace, a lover of color, a sweet tea drinker, an animal lover, a crafter, a traveler, a Maltipoo owner, an advocate of orphan care, a yoga lover, and that white girl in the back of a Zumba class with no rhythm. Haha. Oh, and my body hates gluten.

IMF eyes more China yuan transparency with reserve currency move
[WASHINGTON] China will need to keep improving the transparency of its exchange rate regime once its yuan achieves reserve status as part of the International Monetary Fund's currency basket on Oct 1, IMF officials said on Wednesday.
The designation will make the yuan a "freely usable currency" in the eyes of the IMF, available for loans to IMF members and for repayments.
The yuan, also known as the renminbi, will join the dollar, euro, yen and British pound in the "special drawing rights" basket that forms the IMF's unit of account. Relative amounts of these currencies will be fixed for five years on Sept 30 to achieve weightings determined last year.
"Inclusion of the Chinese renminbi in the SDR basket is an important milestone in the process of China's global financial integration. It recognizes and reinforces China's continuing reform efforts," said Siddarth Tiwari, director of the IMF's Strategy, Policy and Review Department.
The yuan will enter the basket at a weighting of 10.92 per cent, the dollar will stay relatively unchanged at 41.73 per cent, while the euro, yen and pound will all receive lower weightings..
Your feedback is important to us Tell us what you think. Email us at email@example.com
Your feedback is important to us
Tell us what you think. Email us at email@example.com
Mr Tiwari said that going forward, the IMF expects that Chinese authorities will improve the reporting of its reserves composition, achieving full coverage within two to three years. They are also expected to work with the Bank for International Settlements to improve the quality of their reporting of Chinese banking sector statistics.
Mr Tiwari also said that the reserve currency status implied by the SDR inclusion comes with the responsibility for Beijing to maintain a coherent and coordinated communications strategy regarding its monetary policy. "These are responsibilities that come with being a reserve currency," Mr Tiwari said.

A Message From The President
David G. Powell
Greetings from The Music Bridge LLC. For the past 24 years as Music Rights Specialists, we have been busy providing every type of music clearance "now known or hereafter created", for over 1,000 clients and projects, covering every style and time period of music.
We continue to be the "hub of the wheel" in cutting edge new media usages that our clients bring to us each week, and which we in turn put forth to the music licensing departments.
We have grown, zigged, zagged and expanded with the times and licensing trends - from features and television series, to corporate usages and commercial advertising, to product merchandising and video games, to a multitude of new digital rights platforms and mobile phone content.
We've witnessed the trends in music publisher consolidations and record label acquisitions, the movement of key music licensing department personnel, the ever changing policies of each major corporate licensor and ongoing increases in music licensing fee structures as traditional revenues such as CD sales plummet.
We've embraced the rise of digital media, internet usages and new emerging technologies, and the evolvement of ringtones, mobile phone content, mobile apps and other digital applications.
We've seen the advent of home digital recording studios and a flood of indie music available for licensing, and the rise of the use of samples in recordings by both major and indie artists.
We've welcomed the growth of affordable film-making technology supporting the rise of indie film-makers and documentarians, and seen the increased popularity of film festivals, YouTube and other internet resources as promo and distribution tools.
The one constant is that the music licensing landscape will continue to change. Even as some aspects of the industry appear to be constricting, new paradigms of change within the music and entertainment industries are occurring every day, creating more opportunities and ever creative platforms for the use of music within new media projects, programs and applications.
We continue to enjoy being on the front lines of music clearance and licensing, and in a position to be of valuable service as a "bridge" between our clients and the music they wish to license for their projects, and the rights owners and licensors themselves.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch with us. Our staff is personable as well as knowledgeable, and we'd love to hear from you!
David G. Powell

The Big Little
King Solomon observed that a big mess is the result of a little laziness.
I passed by the field of a sluggard, by the vineyard of a man lacking sense, and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns; the ground was covered with nettles, and its stonewall was broken down. Then I saw and considered it; I looked and received instruction. A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man. (Proverbs 24:30-34)
Notice the passive nature of the sluggard: sleep, slumber, folding the hands to rest… This proverb negates the notion of neutrality. The most active way to undermine your investment is to be inactive.
Look at the little references: a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands…This proverb reveals the big nature of little things. The quickest way to a big mess is through little concessions.
Whatever God has given you to do today, do it with all your mind and all your might. Be active. Make progress. Do the little things – the right little things. Change your activity. Change your attitude. Be wise with your work.

Writing a face detection function for OpenFaaS
There is a new term in town that has been making its way to all of us for a couple of years now: Serverless. When I first heard this I was kind of confused as to what it meant. Everybody seemed to have an opinion about it but there were no real answers. The following definition from serverless-stack helped me clarify a bit: Serverless computing (or serverless for short), is an execution model where the cloud provider is responsible for executing a piece of code by dynamically allocating the resources.Read more
