Mozzarella Sticks with Cilantro Dip
Clam Chowder
I don't make soups all that often at the apartment. Usually, I throw down some tacos or a quick old-fashioned chicken curry with all the Pakistani spices to get myself out of a pickle on a work day. Honestly it's more out of sympathy for my poor brother than anything. But when I make something good, I make it a lot of times until I tire from it. This Clam Chowder proudly simmers about twice a week in my apartment. Yes, I use canned clams for convenience and yes I cut corners, but I would totally scrub scrub scrub 3 lbs of fresh clam shells, boil it in salted water if i didn't work and read books all day with bottomless mimosas…eh coffee in my case. But I'm being practical. Regardless, this chowder is delicious and thick and smells wonderful.
You are really just opening some canned clams, chopping some veggies, pouring some juice, adding some cream and before you know it, you'll be chowing down on this chowder! But I don't know which of my soups I like the best because I have a killer Chicken Tortilla Soup here that will knock your socks off.
- 3 cans of clams in clam juice
- 4 tbsp butter, divided
- 5 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 celery stalks
- 2 cups potatoes
- 1 medium onion
- salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- 2½ cups chicken stock
- 1 cup half and half (or cream if you like a really thick chowder)
- Croutons for garnish
- Open the can of clams and drain them. Reserve the clam juice.
- Dice the vegetables.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tbsp butter and saute vegetables for five minutes with the spices.
- Next, add 2 more tbsp of butter and let it melt.
- Sprinkle flour and stir really well to incorporate.
- Add in the reserved clam juice. Give it a quick stir then pour in chicken stock.
- Add bay leaves and let the soup simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the vegetables are very soft.
- Next, add half and half or cream.
- Finally, throw in the clams and simmer only until clams are heated through. If you cook the clams for too long, they will get tough.
- Serve hot, top with croutons and enjoy!
Best Chicken Tortilla Soup
At the time of filming this video, it was 80 degrees outside–temperature that definitely doesn't warrant standing before a hot stove to cook soup. But if weather deterred me from making soup on a hot day, I wouldn't take my coffee extra hot at the coffee shops I frequent. So my solution is to turn up the AC to full blast and get cooking. And just to be in the spirit of the changing "season," I'll throw on the coziest knitted sweatshirt because there is nothing like holding a warm bowl in hands gloved loosely with the sleeves of your sweatshirt. If the weather is particularly overcast, I would pull away my blinds, turn on some nostalgia-evoking classic movie and enjoy this bowl of comfort.
- 1 lb chicken breast
- ¼ tsp each cumin powder, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper (roasted on stove and chopped)
- 4 tomatillos, husk removed and chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 2 tsp cumin powder
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes in jalapenos (OR diced tomatoes in chilli, OR just diced tomatoes if you can't find the other two AND ½ of a jalapeno pepper deseeded and chopped)
- 5 cups chicken stock
- 1 15 oz can black beans
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2-3 corn tortillas
- cheese (optional)
- coriander leaves for garnish
- Sprinkle chicken breast with cumin, cayenne, salt and pepper and rub evenly.
- In a saucepan with high sides, add about a tbsp of oil and cook the chicken on high flame until brown on both sides. Remove to a clean plate. *The chicken doesn't need to be fully cooked right now.*
- To roast the green bell pepper, simply place it directly on the burner with the flame on. Rotate the bell pepper until the skin is charred and you get black spots around it. Remove from burner. Let cool for a few minutes, then chop.
- In the same saucepan in which you seared the chicken, throw in chopped onion, bell pepper and chopped tomatillo. Sautee the vegetables until soft, about 2-3 minutes on medium heat.
- Next, add garlic, stir, then add in cumin and cayenne pepper.
- Stir the vegetables really well until they're coated in the spices.
- Next, tip in the can of diced tomatoes in jalapeno along with the chicken stock and black beans.
- Squeeze the juice from one lime and let the soup come to a boil.
- Once the soup is bubbling, immerse the half-cooked chicken breast into the soup and turn the flame to medium-low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the soup to a clean plate and shred it thinly.
- To thicken the soup, ladle half the soup into a blender and puree until smooth.
- Pour this back into the soup along with the shredded chicken and let the soup simmer for about 5 minutes.
- To make the tortilla strips, cut corn tortilla length wise.
- Next, heat up a few tablespoons of oil in a pan for frying. Add in your tortilla strips and fry them until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them to a kitchen towel.
- To assemble, ladle the soup into a bowl, add shredded cheese, crushed tortilla strips, and a few cilantro leaves. Serve warm and become a couch potato!
- This easily serves 6-7 people!
Jalapeno and Cheddar Focaccia Bread
I always say that the smell of bread baking in the oven adds warmth to a home. If you're selling your home, get baking and you would turn a couple people into potential buyers. Heck, I'd buy a house that smells of baked goods. You know where I'm going?
I love baking bread for this very reason. While making this Focaccia bread, my apartment smelled like a pizzeria. My brother said this bread is a "winner." It's crispy, chewy and just plain perfect with any dip you fancy. I like it with pizza sauce. And why not? It is an Italian bread after all.
Crostini Three Ways
A cup of hot latte is remarkably satisfying. This past week I was feeling under pressure, under weather… really just "under" the world. Between editing videos, developing content, working a full-time job AND working out, I realized I missed my favorite coffee shop. One hot Con Leche at Tierra Mia and I was back on track. If you like coffee, you definitely need to try their Con Leche. Slightly frothy half and half swirled into two shots of espresso, this coffee really perks me up. So ridiculously good. God knows how many times I snapchat the same coffee with the same latte art every single time I go there (at least twice a week). Also, I'm just going to say this now: Frappe is not coffee. It's one scoop of icecream away from becoming a milkshake. So get yourself a cup of Con Leche there!
I made these Crostinis right after I got back refreshed from my coffee dose. They are such a fun way to add color to your party table. I make these three different ways with a creamy and delicious cheese base made from cream cheese, ricotta cheese and sour cream. They are the perfect appetizer for summer get-togethers.
The best part is that once you have prepped the toppings, you can lay everything out on the table so that everyone can assemble their own Crostini and pick their favorite toppings. The toppings I use are spicy chickpeas, roasted olives and grape tomatoes. Once you get those tomatoes in the oven though, you'll know why they are a must!
If you're more into visual, check out how I make this!
- ½ loaf Italian bread
- ½ cup cream cheese
- ¼ cup ricotta cheese
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes (sliced in half lengthwise)
- 1 cup pitted olives (any kind you prefer)
- Oregano (I used dried oregano but use fresh if you can)
- 1 cup chickpeas
- ½ tsp red chilli powder (or to taste)
- ½ tsp coriander powder
- ½ a lime
- Herbs for garnishing (I use cilantro, parsley and basil)
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Lay olives and tomatoes in a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with salt and oregano (canned olives are already salty so don't sprinkle more salt on them).
- Roast for 20 minutes or until the tomatoes burst and start to wrinkle.
- In a pot with a touch of oil, cook chickpeas with chilli powder and coriander powder on low heat (we are only trying to warm up the chickpeas and cook off the spices). Roughly chop cilantro and toss it in and squeeze in half a lime.
- With a potato masher (preferably), mash the chickpeas roughly making sure that a few still keep their shape. (Watch my video to see how I do it.) Remove from stove and keep aside.
- For the cheese base, mix ricotta cheese, cream cheese and sour cream in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Once toppings are ready, slice the bread into 1¼ inch thick diagonal slices. Brush olive oil on both sides of the bread and lay on a baking tray.
- Stick the tray under the broiler for two minutes on each side until both sides are toasted and nicely browned. Don't leave them unattended because they will burn! Ask me how I know.
- To assemble the Crostini, spread a generous amount of the cheese mixture, then top with your favorites toppings. Following are my favorite topping combinations:
- -Olives and tomatoes topped with parsley (I think of these as Greek)
- -Just tomatoes topped with basil (on the Italian side)
- -Spicy chickpeas topped with cilantro (Pakistani/Mexican flavor)
- Double the quantities to use an entire loaf. Enjoy!
5-minute Zesty Honey Cumin Shrimp
I've been pretty relaxed these past few days. My parents are in town, so like a good daughter, I have taken two weeks off from work. I guess that is working well for me just right! Despite being jet-lagged, my parents agreed to a trip to San Diego. I want to make sure that their trip is fun and my vacation days are worth taking off for. But just between us, I actually really wanted to go to Extraordinary Desserts, where I swear that I consumed 1000 calories (or more) in one sitting.You believe me right? Just for the record, don't order decadent chocolate cakes that make you salivate because usually they end up being too heavy. I need to sit my sister down and explain this to her.
Being the type of eater that I am, I felt obligated to finish the damn, I mean Dame Chocolate Cake on the plate without much help from my party of four. And then as soon as I came back home, I ran to the gym. I had the most delicious dulce de leche cheesecake there though, which I must recreate in my kitchen.
Cuban Stuffed Potato Balls
No food hits home like Hispanic food. The heavy influence of cumin and coriander remind me of Pakistan because this particular spice and herb are added in every traditional Pakistani dish. At times when I walk down the streets of LA past food carts selling tacos and burritos, I imagine I'm in Karachi. The familiar smells wafting in the air punctuated by the occasional traffic and honking of cars (it is downtown after all ) are enough to wake up nostalgia.
Sure, there are differences between the cuisines but at the base of it all is cumin and coriander. I almost wonder why Hispanics don't make curry.

Ready to read about what it was like for us to actually be on the Emmy Red Carpet in Sunday? Now you can — with bonus Arrested Development spoilers (not really, unless you count information about Buster's socks), and details like so:
The other benefit of being Live on the Red Carpet was seeing celebs getting starstruck. Jeremy Davies of Justified paused mid-interview because he saw Judd Apatow, genuflected to him, and reached across us to grab Apatow's arm and proclaim his worship (though he also later bowed to Kathy Griffin, so maybe he's just really formal right now).
Plus: behind the scenes PR madness! The iron fist of Ellen DeGeneres! The niceness of Martin Freeman! Read all the gory, sweaty details at The Cut.

Back again. After being attacked by malware, maladroit, malcontent and Mal Z. Lawrence, LIONELMEDIA is up and running and here's the latest installment from me, your voice of unapologetic realism. This was intended at first as a general LIONEL AUDIO podcast for the general public, but after careful consideration I've come to the conclusion that $5.99 a month is a pittance for spoken word greatness.
Listen to Israel. It drives me considerably nuts when folks dismiss the suggestions of Israeli security experts because: (1) Israeli commercial air traffic is de minimis compared to ours; and (2) the sheer numbers of air passengers make impossible any comprehensive "profiling," a word that evokes so much reaction from the incredibly nescient.
Hypnotic acquiescence. So instead we the sheeple follow the directives and orders of the TSA in a strange Pavlovian obeisance. Our will to resist has been all but destroyed. We've habituated to ever-increasing discomfiting intrusions by the government. And, frankly, the biggest problem stems from my fellow citizens who for the life of them can't see what the big deal is about such talk of rights and personal freedom.
The indictment. The TSA policies are wrong for a host of reasons, viz. (1) The backscatter radiation field porn tubes are dangerous; (2) The recordation of nude images of passengers is wrong and in the case of children may be child porno; (3) The TSA procedures are maladapted for high brisance explosive detection; and (4) The very serious accusations of conflict of interest on the part of ex-DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff call into question the legitimacy of the government's claim that the speed by which these units were introduced was a product of urgency for passenger safety versus an aggressive lobbying effort.
In any event, enjoy.

The first tropical storm of this year's Atlantic hurricane season has formed in the Caribbean.
U.S. weather forecasters say Tropical Storm Arlene developed Thursday, triggering heavy rain and squalls across the Cayman Islands and western Cuba. A tropical storm warning was in effect for western Cuba from Pinar del Rio to the Havana area.
At last report, Arlene was 180 kilometers south-southeast of Cuba's western tip, moving to the north at 13 kilometers per hour, with winds at 65 kilometers per hour.
Forecasters say parts of Florida, especially the Keys, could get heavy rain from the storm.
The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30. Last year, four hurricanes struck Florida.

You can't really talk about repairing antique furniture without explaining hide glue because it was the glue used on almost all furniture made before the 1950s. So, with this post I'm introducing what I hope will be a series of posts in the coming months on hide glue.
I've written about hide glue many times, including in Popular Woodworking (Aug., 2007; reprinted in "Flexner on Finishing"), and I show its use extensively in my DVD, "Repairing Furniture."
I want to emphasize that unless I specify differently I'm always referring to hot hide glue when I use the term "hide glue." Though I intend to say something about liquid hide glue, it doesn't have the characteristics of hot hide glue that I find so useful for repairing old furniture glued originally with hide glue. It doesn't have the heat, and it doesn't have the quick tack. Liquid hide glue works more like white or yellow glue, just with a longer open time. For repair work, liquid hide glue has the same limitations these glues do.
On the other hand, hot hide glue is more difficult to use and needs to be prepared ahead of time. It's not just sitting on the shelf ready for instant use. It's also more expensive, largely because of waste – if expense is even an issue when this glue makes the work go easier and faster.
I first started using hot hide glue in my restoration shop in 1978. In 1980 I attended a workshop in Vermont dedicated to using hide glue; it was taught by a British furniture restorer. But by then I had pretty well figured it out on my own, so I just had confirmed that hide glue was the right way to go on valuable antiques.
Hot hide glue was the glue used by almost all woodworkers and furniture factories until the 1950s when white glue – polyvinyl acetate (PVA) – became available. Elmer's was one of the first of these glues.
So you can assume that almost all furniture and other wood objects made before the 1950s were glued originally with hide glue, and all repair work done before the 1950s was done with hide glue. (I believe that a major reason for the survival of so much old and antique furniture is due to hot hide glue being the only glue available for so long; I've seen so much destruction caused by the use of modern synthetic glues.)
Hide glue is made from animal skins. Today, the skins used are almost always from cows, explaining why glue factories have been located near tanneries. The scraps would be turned into glue. But at some point horsehides may have been used, giving rise to the expression "take the horse to the glue factory." Other animal skins are also used for specialized glues, but not for woodworking.
You're going to be hit with a lot about hide glue in the coming months, because I know that Chris Schwarz is working on an article for Popular Woodworking Magazine on using liquid hide glue. I'm looking forward to what he has to say.

Pickpocketing - The Oldest Profession in the World.......... July 06 2015, 0 Comments
The definitive description...from Wikipedia
"Pickpockets are thieves who steal items (often wallets or passports, sometimes other valuables) from people's clothing and bags as they walk in a public place. Pickpocketing is a very old crime that is continually being reinvented. Pickpockets are a hazard in nearly any tourist destination. After all, tourists, by definition, have disposable income, and are likely to be carrying some money and/or valuables."
This is no new craze to hit the streets, but has been evolving in its art form and ingenuity since currency was invented. Picking pockets has been a part of society's murky makeup since man first put on a pair of pants or wore a jacket "with pockets". Maybe we should blame the fashion designers who first thought that it was necessary for humans to carry around their valuables in some way, other than a bag.
Let's get real here, pockets loaded up with cash or a wallet normally destroy the line of a fashion statement jacket/shirt/jeans/pants anyway, so what are we doing filling up our pockets? Men now have "man bags" that were once upon a time the domain of the male gay population, but their practicality soon swayed many a straight man. Women have always tottered around with a handbag of some description, from a compact clutch to the craze of carrying almost duffel bag with a toy poodle sitting in it. Then, the innovators created the "backpack". It quickly became a necessity for any self-respecting tourist, not just for school children to carry their books and lunch in, as they went to and fro from school.
When you consider all of this, maybe the designers have a lot to answer for. They in fact have perpetuated a population of tourists that tote their valuables with them, creating a horde of potential moving targets that congregate in similar areas of interest. Any famous tourist spot becomes a veritable picking ground for those devious pick pockets that are swift of hand and fleet of foot. The potential victims themselves, inadvertently providing the perfect cover for an escape route.
It is one of those irksome, bothersome and totally inconvenient events that can plague any tourist in any city area. Pick pockets are the hunters that prey on unsuspecting and sometimes gullible tourists who are too busy looking at that amazing street carnival, that beautiful piece of art or just meandering the streets in a holiday haze.
Where do pickpockets skulk?
- Where there are beggars plaguing tourists in any must see destination.
- Where there are jostling crowds in a noisy environment; such as transport stations (bus/train/festivals/busy pedestrian walkways/cafes). And, on the bus or train when you may have to stand because of lack of seats. The man behind you that just touched you up much to your indignation, was actually the foil for his partner in crime to slip his hand into your shoulder bag as you quickly turn around in indignation to face the touchy feely creep behind you.
- ATM machines; having been so careful about discretely hiding your pin number when you punch it into the keyboard, you then turnaround with cash in hand and quite openly put it in your wallet or pocket, in full view of anyone who may be lurking, just waiting for this exact moment, the revelation of where you put it.
- Open air markets; especially in third world countries where the average tourist would be carrying the equivalent, if not more cash, than a local would make in a year or a lifetime. And most definitely, anywhere near the vicinity of a sign, warning you of this scurrilous activity, in quite often comical detail.

Big news, people! Especially for those of you upset by the skyrocketing prices of the essential prescription medicines you take — including thousands of patients who were hit last year with a 5,000 percent price increase for one lifesaving drug!
Determined to do something about those despised price hikes, drugmakers themselves have reached into their corporate toolbox for the two most effective means they have to fix their price problem. Of course, putting more corporate cash into research to produce new medicines would be one of those tools, and a renewed commitment to honest competition would be the other, right?
Right! But Big Pharma gave up years ago on doing right, turning to two other corporate tools that have reliably generated a gusher of profits for them: advertising and lobbying. So here they come, wielding bigger-than-ever ad-and-lobbying budgets to deal with that pesky matter of public anger at price gouging.
If you wonder why Congress keeps ignoring what the people want it to do — while doing things that people don't want it doing — take a peek at the unique PR campaign now being run by Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America. PhRMA is America's largest pharmaceutical lobbying group and represents Eli Lilly, Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck & Co and about three dozen other drug manufactures.
At Stake?
An existential threat to our democracy. A global pandemic. An unprecedented economic crisis. Our journalism has never been more needed.
Can you pitch in today and help us make our Fall Campaign goal of $80,000 by November 2nd?
Please select a donation method:
The intent of PhRMA's multimillion-dollar PR blitz and intensified offensive in Congress is not to restrain the gouging but to improve the industry's image in hopes of restraining lawmakers from taking steps to rein in prescription costs. Of course, the ads dishonestly fail to mention the selfish intent of being allowed to keep ripping off patients, instead pitching drugmakers as selfless saviors of humanity. They feature soft scenes of drug researchers in white lab coats urgently trying to find new cures, scripted testimonials from patients and of course scenes of drugmakers altruistically aiding poor people.
The American public is dismayed and disgusted by the flagrant greed of drugmakers that are shamefully zooming the prices of medicines into the stratosphere, turning necessities into unaffordable luxuries. As a result, there is a growing demand for Congress to take action to stop the industry's out-of-control gouging.
Hoping to counter this demand for action, drug companies have launched their massive advertising campaign, not only running radio and print ads but also placing ads on Facebook, Twitter and other social media websites. Yet it's not likely that you've seen or heard any of them. That's because drug chieftains don't care what you and I think. Moreover, they know they couldn't possibly persuade us to let them keep jacking up our prices. So, their "public" relations effort has made the odd and seemingly counterproductive move of sidestepping the actual public, instead narrowly targeting a very tiny audience.
As one CEO arrogantly put it: "We've identified 7,000 Americans who matter," thus dismissing the other 330 million of us as nobodies. "We're focusing on those in policy positions ... to fight structural issues," he sniffed. By "structural issues," he means convincing Congress to take no action to reform the present pricing structure of monopolistic drugmakers, whose guiding corporate ethic is: "Bleed 'em for all they've got."
So this is a surreptitious PR campaign meant to reach only the eyes and ears of policy elites. The goal is to have Congress — once again — ignore what the people want it to do, thus allowing the corporate few "who matter" to keep fleecing the many. The word for this is "plutocracy." The industry is spending millions on this corporate medicine show not to protect its notorious profiteering but to protect you from public officials who might try to stop them from overcharging you. It's enough to make you sick.

- For some reason, there is debate about whether this cocktail should be made with Cognac or gin. The first published recipe—gin-based—seems to have appeared in The Savoy Cocktail Book in 1930, but 20 years later David Embury wrote, in The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks, "Gin is sometimes used in place of cognac in this drink, but then, of course, it no longer should be called French." Embury ignores Champagne's French origins, not to mention the 75-millimeter cannon for which the drink was named. The drink's surprising firepower makes its name quite appropriate (and "Model 1897" just doesn't have the same ring).
- Half fill a cocktail shaker with cracked ice and add 1 jigger dry gin, 1 teaspoon bar syrup [simple syrup] and the juice of 1/2 lemon. Shake the mixture vigorously and strain it into a highball glass packed with cracked ice. Fill the glass with chilled Champagne.

Shingen Kishitani (岸谷 森厳)A man with an eccentric personality who is Shinra's father. His behaviour is odd to the point that he wears a Gas Mask, he says: "Tokyo air is very filthy." and that's the reason why he wears it. He has also a habit of spinning a pen in his right hand.
While his personality ranges from childish for comic relief up to a somewhat intimidating one(especially around Izaya and Namie), he is the one who offered Celty a home to stay, in exchange for performing surgery on her, to which she agreed. He is in fact the one who made Shinra participate in multiple dissections, which he believes are the reason why Shinra is so twisted now.
He claims his company,Nebula executives are interested in Celty and that is why he returned to Japan from America.

The Ultimate Mini Album Website
The Triangular Around Book is very similar to the Square Around Book. Jaine has once again graciously provided the instructions to us for a very special mini scrapbook album!
* 2 sheets of double sided 12 inch x 12 inch scrapbook cardstock
* An extra sheet of 12 inch x 12 inch for the inserts
* Thick cardstock or book board for the covers
* Patterned scrapbook paper to decorate and cover the book board
* Ribbon
Cut the double sided cardstock into 4 pieces each measuring 8 inches x 6 inches.
Fold each piece in half along the shorter width and then score from corner to corner. Carefully fold along these score lines.
When all four pieces have been scored and folded, make sure that the straight fold is on a mountain fold and the diagonal folds are valley folds.
Fold up as shown in the following pictures, bringing the straight folds
in to meet each other, while the diagonal folds form a triangle shape.
Jaine shows us step by step here exactly how to fold. These photos are worth a thousand words and are so much easier to follow then a video for me.
Pinch them together in the middle as shown below.
Using your index finger bring the top fold down to meet the bottom.
There - one page is done. Repeat for all your other pages.
Glue the pages on top of each other so you end up with a pile of folded triangular pages.
Using the pages as a template, draw around them onto the thick cover cardstock and cut out two cover triangles. Use the patterened scrapbook paper to cover them. Glue the covers onto either end of the pile of folded pages and sandwich a piece of ribbon in between to tie the book closed.
Here it is tied closed.
Again, using the book as a template, draw around it onto some decorative
papers to make triangular shaped inserts for your pictures. In my book I
managed to get all but one of the inserts from the left over pieces of
scrapbook cardstock and also created some tabs to go along the edges.
The book can be tied around like a star book or left as it is.
This book was a Christmas mini album, but obviously you can create them in any theme.

Apple is reportedly going to debut a new A7 processor with its iPhone 5S that is expected to be announced on Sept. 10.
Clayton Morris, an anchor at Fox News Channel said on Twitter that the A7 processor is running about 31 percent faster than the existing iPhone 5's A6 processor. The A7 processor is expected to operate on 64-bit code and will have two brains known as cores. The A6 is also a dual-core chip.
The 64-bit part could be a big differentiator for Apple, as that could open up new doors for the technology. ARM and its licensees are working on 64-bit chips to work on a broader set of applications and to move the technology into web-connected data centers.
9TO5Mac reported that it is unclear if 64-bit will make the cut, but it has been in testing. It could be used to get the iPhone 5S to make animations, transparencies, and get graphics to run more smoothly. The upcoming fifth-generation iPad will likely get the same chip, the publication said. Morris also said the iPhone 5S will have a new dedicated chip for motion tracking, which could go with a camera upgrade.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said recently that the move to 64-bit processors will happen soon. The iPhone 5S is expected to include a fingerprint sensor, with authentication happening by pressing the Home button down. That feature would be pretty cool. As we previously reported, the iPhone 5 is expected to have a gold color option.

Attention span and effective learning
The average human attention span is on the decline. In 2000, the average attention span was 12 seconds; in 2015, that number dropped to 8.25 seconds. This is a troubling statistic when you consider that the average attention span of a goldfish is 9 seconds.
It's no surprise that attention spans have been declining over the past decade given the continuing popularity of digital distractions like social media, video games, and text messaging. These distractions, coupled with the overwhelming abundance of consumable content online, have made it harder than ever to focus on any task at hand.
Today, a myriad of distractions are at our fingertips; and college students—the most religious consumers of internet and social media content—are particularly susceptible to these distractions.
In the study cited above, attention span is defined as the amount of concentrated time spent on a task without becoming distracted. Most educators and psychologists agree that the ability to focus attention on a task is crucial for the achievement of learning goals.
Psychologists generally break down the learning and retention of information into three main processes:
- Encoding: considering meaningful and relevant information that catches an individual's attention
- Storage: retaining information if it is perceived by an individual as interesting
- Recall: the subsequent re-accessing of the information from the past to be applied to a present situation
In combination, these processes promote the effective comprehension and retention of information (i.e. learning). However, in order for these processes to occur, the information or subject matter must first be considered relevant by, and hold the attention of, the learner.
Learning experiences that maximize attention and retention
Game Plan offers a variety of eLearning and assessment resources designed to deliver relevant information to a student-athlete based on their unique interests. One such resource is our student-athlete interest inventory assessment, a powerful tool to help student athletes as they seek to understand their unique academic and career interests. This assessment is designed to help prospective and current collegiate student-athletes learn about their interests and personality strengths as it relates to potential college majors and careers. This instrument helps guide students through a self-awareness process that will provide more clarity on critical academic and career decisions.
As we have seen, the degree to which an individual perceives a topic as interesting often determines whether or not they will comprehend and retain that information. In keeping with this principle, Game Plan offers eLearning modules that are designed to provide student-athletes with relevant, digestible information pertinent to their interests. More importantly, each module is segmented into easily consumable courses that maximize user attention and retention.

March 2008 Boots Review: Heavy Duty Boots
Best All-Around
Kayland Apex Trek
Choose this nimble, wicked light boot for high-elevation trekking, scrambling 14ers, and three-season mountaineering. It boasts excellent fit with a stable heel cup, ankle support that's supple for easy striding, and a toe box that's roomy but trimmed close on the outside so it's not clunky. Locking laces at midfoot allow fine-tuning fit, and there's plenty of support for the heaviest loads. An eVent membrane offers unparalleled breathability and generally reliable waterproofing (one tester said hours of wet-snow slogging left the insides damp). The tread grips well on everything from rubble to snow, and when serious traction is required the Trek accepts semi-automatic crampons. We also like the Apex Rock ($300), a stiffer, stickier boot that's more climbing-oriented. Both are best for medium-volume feet. $270; 3 lbs. 6 oz.
Best Buy
Scarpa Nepal
Want a premium rough-terrain boot that won't set you back three bills? Even on off-trail rambles with a heavy load, testers reported total comfort through 12-hour days, thanks in part to just-right ankle and tongue padding and a leather lining that conforms to your foot (wet-weather caution: the leather lining dries slowly). Traction rules on gravel, scree, and snow, and the wrap-around rubber rand survived a trip through Teton talus with hardly a blemish. They lack a waterproof membrane, but that makes them slightly cheaper and slightly more breathable. Plan a few days of break-in time. Best for medium-volume feet and slightly wide heels. $199; 3 lbs. 8 oz.
Best for Mountaineering
Kayland M11+
Our Northwest editor pulled these boots out of the box for a climb of Rainier's Emmons Glacier. He didn't suffer so much as a hot spot over several miles and thousands of feet of on- and off-trail hiking and glacier climbing. "They fit like slippers," he said. The last cradles the foot, while lace-locking eyelets let him adjust the fit for uphill or downhill travel. Those attributes, along with a good rocker, facilitated an almost natural stride on trail–despite the boot's stiffness–and all-day comfort while kicking steps in snow. With PrimaLoft insulation, they're best for temps from the teens to the 40s, but the highly breathable eVent waterproof membrane kept our tester's socks dry on a 12-hour day with highs in the 70s. An integral soft-shell gaiter keeps snow out. Best for medium-volume feet. $400; 3 lbs. 15 oz.
Asolo Manaslu
How much do you value your toes? The price of these expedition boots pegs their worth at $85 per digit, and we're not arguing. Our Rocky Mountain editor lived in the Manaslus for 23 straight days on Mt. McKinley last year. He says they're everything expedition boots should be: insulated and supportive without being too heavy, stiff, or sweaty. A wide fit makes them warmer and more comfortable than standard expedition boots on low-grade mountaineering routes like McKinley's West Buttress, yet the Manaslu doesn't feel floppy. An integral Gore-Tex and Kevlar gaiter–with a double-elastic seal at the knee–traps heat and repels all snow. The outsole edges well and has slight flex, so it's not too blocky when you're walking on firm surfaces. Best for medium-volume feet. $850; 6 lbs. 15 oz.
La Sportiva Trango Extreme EVO Light GTX Duratherm
A descendant of the Editors' Choice-winning Trango S (4/04), this supremely comfortable lightweight adds a warmth and weatherproofing boost. You still get a snug last and closely scultped forefoot for great toe feel on rock; a bit of rocker for all-day striding, and enough stiffness for some vertical cramponing. It's not a full-on winter boot, but there's enough insulation for days like the -17°F windchill freezer our testers endured on Longs Peak. Best for narrow, low-volume feet. $390; 3 lbs. 10 oz.
Lowa Korba GTX
Hard miles ahead? This boot is made for rocky terrain and off-trail bashing with loads as heavy as you can handle. Leather-and-Cordura uppers and midsole protection are like armor, and the waterproofing impeccable: During an October rainstorm on Vermont's Long Trail, our tester might as well have been walking down a river. Still, his feet stayed completely dry in these Gore-Tex-lined boots. Traction also was superior in the wet stuff, even on slick friction slabs. Fit is slightly wide throughout. Small hikers will find these boots stiff, but they flex for bigger people. Plan a few days of break-in. Best for high-volume feet. $230; 3 lbs. 5 oz.
Lowa Ranger GTX
Every tester who pulled on this boot had the same initial reaction: excellent fit. After hiking in them, they had more praise. Arch and heel support is topnotch, as is the to-the-tiptop lacing, which aids stability and keeps out debris. The full wrap-around rubber rand protects the boot from the worst bashings. Feet stayed dry through all-day rainstorms thanks to a Gore-Tex liner. The boots can handle on-trail loads of 45-50 pounds, but lateral stability isn't good enough for the heaviest loads off-trail. Breathability is mediocre (we had sweaty feet on warm days) and the laces loosen easily. Plan a few days of break-in. Best for medium-volume feet. $250; 3 lbs. 7 oz.

"No melodramatic Monday morning wish this week ?", he asked me , sounding shocked.
I send these Monday morning messages to some of my friends every week. Though he is never the recipient of those , he does check my phone to read the message I know.
"It does not make a difference to anyone"I responded lightheartedly , trying best to hide my disappointment of my own statement.
"It matters to many. It matters to me the most to know you have not given up on doing something so good and positive in life" , he replied , looking kindly into my eyes that a minute before were full of doubt.

Warning: I may repeat myself.
I love fall.
I love fresh figs.
I love goat cheese.
I love honey.
See where I am going here….
I love this appetizer.
This is a recipe, but not really. It is three ingredients (that I love) that you combine to amaze and impress your taste buds…and your friends…maybe not your children, but that's ok. It just leaves more for you.
I love fresh figs with blue cheese too. Almost as much as I do with goat cheese. Almost.
What is your favorite way to prepare this delectable fruit?
Fresh figs
Goat cheese
Starting at the fig's stem end, cut each fig into quarters, stopping 1/2 inch from bottom so that the bottom stays intact. Press the figs open and spoon a small amount of goat cheese into the center. Arrange figs on your serving platter and drizzle with honey. Serve immediately.
Kitchenarian Notes: You can also slice the figs in half and place the goat cheese on the fig half with drizzled honey.

Lone Mountain (California)
|Lone Mountain
Lone Mountain from the northeast in 2020
|Highest point
|421 ft (128 m) NAVD 88 [1]
Latitude and Longitude:
|San Francisco, California
|Topo map
|USGS San Francisco North
Lone Mountain is a historic hill in west-central San Francisco, California and the site of the private University of San Francisco (USF) – Lone Mountain Campus, which in turn was previously the San Francisco Lone Mountain College for Women. It was once the location of Lone Mountain Cemetery, a complex encompassing the Laurel Hill, Calvary, Masonic, and Odd Fellows Cemeteries. [3]
Lone Mountain is one of California's historic hills. The hill is near to the former location of the Odd Fellows Cemetery, Masonic Cemetery, and Greek Orthodox Cemetery. The graves in these cemeteries, along with most graves in San Francisco, were moved to Colma by the 1940s. Lone Mountain is also home to the Angelo J. Rossi Playground and Rossi Pool at Arguello Boulevard and Anza Street.
Lone Mountain is also known as "University Terrace" because of the terraces that connect the two USF campuses.
The Lone Mountain Cemetery was opened on May 30, 1854. [4]
In 1867, the cemetery was renamed Laurel Hill Cemetery, after the Laurel Hill garden cemetery in Philadelphia. [4] [5]
In the early 20th century, San Francisco voted most of its cemeteries out of existence, ostensibly[ clarification needed] for public health reasons; after decades of further dispute the transfer of Lone Mountain's forty-seven thousand inhabitants began, primarily to Cypress Lawn Memorial Park in the city of Colma, immediately south of San Francisco. In what writer Harold Gilliam described as "an act of civic vandalism," thousands of crypts and mausoleums were unearthed, the granite and marble dumped along the Pacific shoreline to reinforce seawalls. [6]
The Spanish name for Lone Mountain was El Divisadero, from the Spanish divisadero, which means a point from which one can look far. [7]

Moët Brut Impérial - 1.5l
Moët Impérial could be used as shorthand for class and elegance in the world of champagne. This magnum provides an embodiment of everything that makes life worth celebrating, combining intensity with subtle nuances to create a memorable champagne. The striking golden shade of the champagne is enough to tantalise any enthusiast, with the eyes enjoying the experience before the first sip is even taken. From here, things get even better; crisp notes of apple, pear and citrus give way to a refreshing floral sensation and hints of toasty broche and wild nut.
Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir
As is only fitting for such a complex champagne, the food pairing options of Moët Impérial are wide and varied. Whether you're enjoying a seafood dish, a fruit platter or a strong and mature selection of cheeses, this champagne will bring an additional touch of class to your dining experience.
Producing celebrated champagnes since 1743, few vineyards are as famed as that of Möet and Chandon. The growth area of this vineyard covers five of the most celebrated areas in the Champagne region, ensuring that only the very best ingredients make their way into the final product. Once harvested, the grapes are slowly fermented and allowed to mature, with the process managed by a substantial in-house team of experts – led by Benoît Giuez, Möet's Chef de Cave.

TOKYO, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Japanese energy explorer Inpex Corp is this week set to load the first liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargo from its long-delayed Ichthys project in northwestern Australia, sources familiar with the matter said.
The shipment would be an important milestone for Inpex, the operator of Japan's biggest overseas investment and the first major project where it is the lead operator. The $40 billion project has seen multiple delays and significant cost overruns.
An Inpex spokesman in Tokyo said that production had been going smoothly and that shipments of LNG and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) were set to begin, but he declined to comment on commercial matters including the schedule for shipments.
The LNG vessel Pacific Breeze was located close to the Ichthys LNG Terminal near Darwin with a departure date of Oct. 17, according to Refinitiv data. After the first shipment, three LNG cargoes are scheduled to load next month, according to one of the sources.
It was not clear where the cargo was heading, but some sources said in May that the commissioning LNG cargo from Ichthys would be exported to Inpex's Naoetsu LNG receiving terminal in Japan.
In a statement last year announcing the ship's name, Inpex said Pacific Breeze would supply 1.75 million tonnes of LNG annually from Ichthys to Taiwan's CPC Corp.
The move comes about two weeks after the first condensate shipment from Ichthys' floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) facility.
Ichthys has seen multiple delays and cost overruns of billions of dollars due to technical difficulties. It was originally slated to start in 2016.
At full operation, Ichthys is expected to produce 8.9 million tonnes of LNG a year, along with about 1.7 million tonnes of LPG and about 100,000 barrels per day of condensate, an ultra-light form of crude oil.
The company expects to take two to three years to reach full production.
Inpex in August said Ichthys would help add net profit of 10 billion yen ($89 million) in the second-half of 2018/19, down from a May outlook of 24 billion yen, due to the delays. Inpex holds 62.245 percent of Ichthys, France's Total 30 percent, with the rest spread amongst CPC and Japanese utilities Tokyo Gas, Osaka Gas, Kansai Electric, JERA Corp and Toho Gas. ($1 = 112.1200 yen) (Reporting by Aaron Sheldrick and Osamu Tsukimori in TOKYO, Jessica Jaganathan in SINGAPORE and Sonali Paul in MELBOURNE; Editing by Joseph Radford)

7:56 p.m.: Allrighty then. Unreal is going to attempt to live-blog the final presidential debate of the 2008 campaign. Why? Good question. Because it's there? Because it's a defining moment in American history?
Because we want to see whether John McCain spontaneously combusts on national television?
That's more like it.
Truth is, though, that we're dying to see whether McCain improves upon that dismal, reflective, tight-fitting suit he wore for the last one.
8:02 p.m.: Where in God's name is Hofstra University, anyway?
8:05 p.m: Barrrrrrack Obama! What is this, a boxing match? And McCain comes out of his corner with another Get Well Soon card! Is that a blue tie? Or is it black? Let's just all note, for the record, though, that the suit looks like...velour!
8:07 p.m.: McCain is trotting out the ol' Buy the Mortgage gambit...again. And Obama counters with...a red tie! What the hell is going on here? Then again, do Unreal's eyes deceive us, or do Obama's stripes run in the opposite direction from McCain's?
8:08 p.m.: It's worse than Unreal thought. The stripes run in the same direction.
8:10 p.m.: McCain's suit is still too tight. And who's this Wurtzleburger plumber guy?
8:11 p.m.: Joe the plumber notwithstanding, let's have a show of hands: Who's heard this song before?
8:18 p.m.: So far, by Unreal's unscientific count, Joe the Plumber has out-pointed Main Street (and, for that matter, My Friend[s]) by a margin of 10-0. Unreal wants to see the blood-pressure meter, though.
8:26 p.m.: John McCain came to play! Obama parries! McCain thrusts! Schieffer throws an uppercut! He palled around with terrorists! How do you spell palled?
8:30 p.m.: So what we have here is Barack Obama's sangfroid vs. John McCain's smirk. Who wins?
8:35 p.m.: T-shirts? T-shirts? Could that be...
8:43 p.m.: Autism is on the rise! A bresh of freth air! Unreal could use one of those!
8:48 p.m.: And give us a side order of that climate control.
8:53 p.m.: Drill, baby, drill! Unreal, too is a free trader. But Unreal truly fears that Senator McCain's head is about to explode. Colombia. Free three Americans! Without us having to play what we've played! No brainer! Travel down there!
8:59 p.m.: Let's go to a new topic. Herbert Hoover. Another 32 minutes to go. Unreal is feeling the pain. Joe the Plumber is back! The Phillies are beating the Dodgers 5-0.
9:05 p.m.: Is Unreal younger? Or older and less healthy?
9:07 p.m.: Abortion!
9:07.30 p.m.: John McCain: I believe the decision should be in the hands of the state. I'm a federalist. Unreal: Hello?
9:10 p.m.: Phillies are still up 5-0. No litmus test.
9:11 p.m.: Unreal's confused here. Who's the federalist?
9:18 p.m.: Huh? What? Oh...yeah! Phillies 5, Dodgers 0, bottom of the 6th.
9:22 p.m.: Find bad teachers another line of work. Maybe in the health-insurance industry. On the bright side, has anyone said Joe Sixpack, My Friend[s] or Main Street in the past 70 minutes? Excuse Unreal as we take a shot -- two shots -- to celebrate.

Audi, the German luxury car manufacturer that designs, engineers and produces automobiles for markets across the world, came to India in 2004. Headquartered in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany, Audi is represented in 110 countries worldwide.
- The four rings of the Audi logo represent the four car companies that banded together to create Audi's predecessor company
- Audi is a member of the "German Big 3" luxury automakers
- Audi was the fi rst mass-market vehicle to produce 100 per cent galvanised cars to prevent corrosion
Audi is one of the world's leading premium car brands. It is a manufacturer of high-quality and innovative luxury cars and is among the most admired in the world. The basis of its success comprises pioneering concepts in the domains of advanced technology and design. Audibranded vehicles are produced in nine production facilities worldwide.
Audi set up its own sales network in India in March 2007. By establishing Audi India as a division of Volkswagen Group Sales India Pvt. Ltd in Mumbai, Audi made a clear long-term statement in the country with ambitious growth plans. Audi's goal has been to become the leading automobile luxury brand in the Indian market.
The four rings of the Audi logo represent the four car companies that banded together to create Audi's predecessor company, Auto Union. Audi's slogan is 'Vorsprung durch Technik', meaning "Advantage through Technology". Since 2007, Audi USA has used the slogan "Truth in Engineering".
The Audi group has long been one of the most successful car manufacturers in the premium and luxury segment. In addition, the sales subsidiaries of the Audi group supply cars of other Volkswagen Group brands to customers. Since 2012, motorcycles of the traditional Italian brand Ducati have complemented the product range of the Audi group. Audi has made significant investment strategies in branding, marketing, exclusive dealerships and after-sales service for the upcoming years. At present Audi is assembling the Audi A6, Audi A4, Audi Q3, Audi Q5 and Audi Q7 for the Indian market in Aurangabad.
Audi is a member of the "German Big 3" luxury automakers, along with BMW and Mercedes-Benz, which are the three bestselling luxury automakers in the world. Along with providing luxury automotives, Audi also believes in systematic protection of the environment as an integral part of the Audi Corporate Social Responsibility. As many as 36,000 oak trees have been planted as part of a unique research initiative through which Audi is underscoring its commitment to sustainability and environmental protection. The research topic is the conditions required for forest yield, climate protection and biodiversity.
Audi produces 100 per cent galvanised cars to prevent corrosion, and was the first mass-market vehicle to do so, following introduction of the process by Porsche in 1975. Along with other precautionary measures, the full-body zinc coating has proved to be very effective in preventing rust. The body's resulting durability even surpassed Audi's own expectations, causing the manufacturer to extend its original 10-year warranty against corrosion perforation to 12 years.
A long tradition of environmental protection – Audi's declared objective is to offer each and every customer driving pleasure and sustainable mobility. Their achievements speak for themselves – sportiness, emotional design, quality and environmental awareness all find a common form of expression in the brand with the four rings.

Home Renovation proves cost effective on heating
If you live in the average Ontario home, about 25 per cent of your heating bills goes out the window - or door, or attic, or chimney. Sealing those leaks now is the most cost-effective way to cut down on your heating bills this winter. "Every year we remind homeowners about the importance of caulking and weatherstripping," says Rick Felton, President of Homeservice Club. "If you had a three-inch square hole in an outside wall, you'd fix it promptly. Yet many homeowners ignore that quarter-inch crack under their front door, which will let in just as much cold air as that hole in the wall." With some simple weatherstripping and caulking, homeowners can dramatically reduce energy loss, Felton added.
Hiring a professional with specialized testing equipment can result in even greater energy savings. Here are some more tips from Homeservice Club of Canada that will help homeowners save energy dollars this winter: " While windows and doors are the obvious culprits for air leakage, significant air loss can also occur in the attic, around ducts, through fireplace dampers, through mail slots, through cracks in exterior walls, around the openings where utilities and plumbing enter the house, and through the basement walls and floors. " Make sure your furnace is cleaned and operating efficiently. Replace or clean filters every month during the heating season. " Install a programmable thermostat, which allows you to program your heating system to your family's schedule and lifestyle.
" Seal electrical outlets and switches with inexpensive insulating gaskets. Making your home snug for the winter will also save you money. For more home maintenance tips, visit www.homeserviceclub.com .

Nermal "Massive" Gosein says political interference cost him the Chutney Soca Monarch (CSM) title.
Gosein, who returned to the CSM after a 17-year absence, placed third in the competition with his controversial offering, Rowlee Mudda Count, on Saturday night at Skinner Park, San Fernando. Duo Nishard Mayrhoo and Neval Chatelal took the title with Masala while 2017 champion Omardath Maraj placed second with Me and meh motorcar.
Speaking with reporters immediately after the results were announced, Gosein said in God's eyes, he was the true champion.
"From the out-start, the promoter, George Singh had indicated that he is not going to allow me to participate in the CSM," Gosein said. "The results are a true reflection of what was decided from day one where Massive Gosein is concerned." He said Singh is related to a government minister which, he claims, sealed the fate of his song.
"Of course the PNM is in power and it was obvious from the outset that I was not going to be allowed to win fairly the CSM 2018. As you would have seen, the crowd was singing along. It was based on the impact of the crowd, I was the crowd favorite - Kenneth Supersad targeted me, several other artistes targeted me, they were of the view that I was going to win the competition."
Gosein was last in the line-up of performances for the night. During his performance, he brought the 'Lee' family on stage, including 'Row Lee'. Unlike other performers for the night who went over the eight-minutes allocated for performances, Gosine left 24 seconds on the clock.
He said his song was 100 percent original.
"In all fairness and in the eyes of God I would have won the competition, it is an original song 100 percent original lyrics, 100 percent original melody, 100 percent original music. How can you compare an original song against those who continue to thief melodies, lyrics and everything else from artistes from as far as India?"
He believes that during a 'closed-door' meeting between PNM party officials and Singh, a decision was taken to embarrass him.
"I was told of a closed-door meeting that was held between the promoter and some high ranking officials of the PNM. I don't know what that meeting was about but what I was told from people inside the PNM is that Massive Gosine, they intend to embarrass you and the results tonight was to prove to the East Indian community of TT and by extension the world, that we intend to embarrass the man who is defending the East Indian community."
"The results have shown it, the embarrassment is there, they intended to embarrass me by putting people whose songs do not belong to them and whose melody does not belong to them," he added.
The last time Gosein took to the CSM stage was in 2001 with "Education is Key."
He said the CSM has become a disgrace to the East Indian community and to the Chutney-Soca artform. Gosein vowed never to return to the competition.
"Never in my life I return to the CSM. I only returned to this competition because of the call of the people, they were asking me to return to CSM. I know what CSM is all about and it is a disgrace to the East Indian community, it is a disgrace to the fraternity."

DEMOREST, Ga. -- Jake Major scored the game-winning goal in the final minute of the second overtime to cap a 2-1, comeback victory for the Covenant men's soccer team over Piedmont on Wednesday evening at the Walker Athletic Complex in Demorest.
The win vaulted Covenant (9-5-1, 6-2-1 USA South) into sole possession of first place in the USA South West Division. The Scots sit one point ahead of Piedmont (7-2-3, 5-1-3 USA South) and four in front of Maryville, with Covenant having three regular season matches left.
Major's goal came in the final minute of the second overtime. Josh Brower's free kick from the right-side of the box crossed into the 18 and found the head of Major, who knocked it into the net from the top of the six and past Piedmont keeper Blayton Duncan for the score in the 110th minute.
The goal was Major's fifth of the year and his first career game-winner. Brower was credited with his fourth assist of the season.
The match would not have gone into overtime had Covenant not erased a one-goal deficit in the final 10 minutes of regulation. In the 82nd minute, the Scots finally broke through as Mercer Stout played a short pass to Austin Berry inside the box. Berry controlled the ball off his chest to his foot where he got off a strong attempt into the lower corner of the net to even the score at 1-1.
The score was Berry's second of the season.
Covenant outshot Piedmont throughout the contest, but fell behind in the first half. Piedmont's Nick Pope scored in the 19th minute, assisted by both Cameron Earls and Victor Munoz, to put the host Lions ahead 1-0.
In the first overtime, Covenant had two chances but Parker Owen's attempt was saved by Duncan and Anthony Buzzeo's header missed high. In the final extra session, Paul Lemay made two saves at the net for the Scots to keep the match alive ahead of Major's golden goal.
Lemay made three saves in the victory, while Duncan tallied six saves. Covenant held an 18-9 margin in total shots, and 8-4 in shots on target.
The win for the Scots also kept an unbeaten streak alive against Piedmont. Covenant is 13-0-1 all-time in the series between the programs, dating back to 1995, and the Scots are 3-0-1 in overtime contests.
Covenant's road match at Pensacola Christian scheduled for Monday, Oct. 22 has been cancelled. The match was called off due to previous schedule changes by Covenant.
The Scots will have a week off before hosting LaGrange for a USA South match on Wednesday, Oct. 17 at 4 p.m.
Be sure to follow the Scots all season long on athletics.covenant.edu and on social media at Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for up-to-date scores, news and other information. To receive text alerts with score updates or e-newsletters, click here

Experts Translate 10 Tricky Tech Buzzwords
In the tech industry, there will always be new techniques and gadgets. As the industry is constantly evolving, the language will continue to change as well. You've probably already come across some unfamiliar words and acronyms while chatting with colleagues or found yourself frustrated after a professor's lecture. There's a lot of tech lingo floating around out there but in order to stay up to speed, you can't shy away from educating yourself on even the trickiest of tech buzzwords.
If the tech industry is where you see your future, it's important to stay current on the industry jargon. We enlisted some tech experts to help us define some of these tricky tech terms so you have a solid understanding of what's happening in your field of interest.
10 tricky tech buzzwords decoded
You won't find any boring textbook definitions here; just simple and straightforward insights from the experts on these trending tech buzzwords.
1. Big data
Big data refers to collecting and making sense of enormous amounts of unstructured data … such as communication with customers, customer preferences, etc.," says Boris Kontsevoi, founder and president of Intetics Co. He says the reason it's become so important today is because it's finally possible to process and analyze the amount of data needed to receive viable business intelligence in return.

2. The cloud
The first thing you need to know about the cloud is that it's not a physical thing; it's a network of servers. "At its most basic, 'the cloud' just refers to computing power that's not right in front of you," says tech columnist, Jaq Anders of Zco Corporation. There's a good chance you already use the cloud on a daily basis with applications like Google Drive, Evernote or Dropbox.
Click to learn more about the cloud.
3. Gamification
Anders explains that gamifying (or turning a task into a game) encourages people to do it—kind of like tricking a toddler into playing "who can be quiet the longest?" In apps or websites, it usually comes down to giving users rewards like badges or points for completing tasks. It's very common in multi-user environments where people can compare their achievements to others."

4. Growth hacking
Growth hacking is what companies—startups in particular—do in order to market their company, according to Jackie Emory, marketing lead at job-search software company Briefcase. She says companies do this using social media, creative thinking, social metrics and other cost effective methods to gain exposure and reach new followers. Growth hackers have exactly one goal: to stimulate growth for the company.

MDM refers to "mobile device management", which is security software employers use to monitor employees' mobile devices (such as tablets or smartphones) to ensure they are up to date, secure and being used properly, explains Reuben Yonatan, founder of Get VoIP. This has become increasingly important as BYOD policies have flooded the workplace, resulting in a variety of personal devices being used for organizational purposes.

NGFW is an acronym for "next generation firewalls." Like traditional firewalls, NGFWs block out malicious threats from entering a company's network, says Daren Boozer, CEO of NCC Data. NGFWs differ in that they are smarter and can provide deeper inspection by incorporating an intrusion prevention system (IPS) and application controls.

7. SaaS
SaaS stands for "software as a service" and is a term associated with cloud computing. It's a way of delivering software via the Internet, in which the availability, performance and security of the application is managed by the provider. Benefits to this service model include simple administration, automatic updates, easy collaboration and global accessibility, as explained by tech writer Margaret Rouse in a TechTarget.com article.

8. SoLoMo
SoLoMo is an abbreviation for "social-local-mobile" and emerged as a result of the growing popularity of smartphones. The term refers to the intersection of social media, GPS technology and mobile device usage, according to Boozer. Local entries are being served up in search engine results based on the user's location. SoLoMo allows coupons, events and other opportunities to be broadcast to a mobile user based on his or her geographic proximity.
Click to learn more about SoLoMo.
SOA stands for "service-oriented architecture" and refers to the underlying structure that allows multiple services to communicate with one another, Rouse explains in an article at TechTarget.com. She uses the online shopping process as an example: You choose the items you'd like to purchase using one service, place them in your shopping cart which is provided by another service, provide your billing and shipping information through another service and track your shipment using yet another service. The communication among each program throughout the process is supported by SOA framework.

10. Web-scale IT
Web-scale IT refers to the efforts of large cloud services firms like Google, Amazon, Netflix and Facebook in order "to achieve extreme levels of service delivery as compared to many of their enterprise counterparts," as explained by Gartner, the research firm that coined the term. These tech tycoons have found ways to scale not only in size, but also in speed and agility.

Whole Food (noun): any form of sustenance that is naturally grown or cured, has not been processed or refined, and contains no artificial ingredients.
In other words…what you should be eating.
"Gahhhh! But it's too expensive," you say. Ain't nobody got time (or, let's face it, money) for that. WRONG! Just because most of us can't afford to actually shop at Whole Foods (uppercase "W") doesn't mean we ought to exclude ourselves from the whole foods (lowercase "w") lifestyle. With a little resourcefulness, resolve, and sheer common sense, anybody can easily integrate an organic diet into their daily regimen.
That's right, "au naturel" is no longer just a status symbol for the rich and famous. It's for you and me. And our bodies will be ever so grateful. But…like…how do you follow a whole foods meal plan that leaves both your palate and wallet satisfied?
Glad you asked!
- Fruits & Vegetables:
- Shop for produce at local farmers' markets, which are typically cheaper than buying from a grocery store and almost always organically-grown.
- Try to only buy produce in-season, which retain nutrients longer and cost less than fruits or veggies that have been imported from other climates.
- Plant a backyard fruit, veggie, and herb garden, which will drastically cut down on spending and ensure that your produce is at the peak of freshness.
- Meats & Proteins:
- Buy frozen poultry and fish, which saves a few dollars and has a longer shelf life than refrigerated meat (just make sure there are no added preservatives).
- Purchase meat in bulk directly from a farming source, which eliminates middleman mark-ups and often guarantees grass-fed or free-range quality.
- Look for alternatives to satisfy your protein needs, like eggs, yogurt, beans, or nuts, which are budget-friendly and often more wholesome than meat.
- Grains & Carbohydrates:
- Make whole grain goods from scratch, which removes preservatives and cuts costs in half (homemade tortillas, granola, oatmeal, or bread saves at least $3 apiece).
- Shop at ethnic markets for large sacks of quinoa, brown rice, or other grains which is more economical than buying smaller often overpriced packages from the grocery store.
