How to win at the "Cooking on a Budget" Game

Food can be expensive. You don't have to be unemployed or a single mother to want to be careful about what you spend on groceries. Try this little game you can play to save a lot of money when you shop for groceries while Cooking on a Budget.
The game board is your favorite grocery store. You and your grocery cart move around the board wherever you want to go. The store is the 'dealer' and deals the 'cards'. Each 'card' is an item on sale. When you check out, most grocery show how much you have saved at the bottom of your receipt. Your savings are your points. If you saved $5.53, you won 5.53 points.
If the store doesn't tell you what you have saved, just guestimate. As you will see, the real reason for the game is not the points you earn but learning how to approach shopping for groceries in a new way -- to learn to 'game' the system, so to speak.
The object of the game is to only buy ingredients on sale. If you buy even one item at the regular price, you get no points for that shopping trip, no matter how much you saved.
How to play. Unless you are a vegetarian, 'Go' is at the meat counter. The store deals the 'cards' which are one or more meats on sale. Pick whatever meat or meats on sale that appeal to you.
Don't think about a recipe yet. You put that together as you travel through the store.
Move on to where the vegetable 'cards' are. The store will probably be 'dealing' more than one. Think of ways you can serve them. Steamed? Stewed with the meat you chose? As a salad ingredient?
Here's an example. The store deals hamburger for a savings of $2.39 and then deals carrots, rutabagas, and spinach for cheaper than they have been all season. Could you make shepherd's pie? Not unless you have potatoes and onions at home. They are not on sale this week.
If you do have potatoes and onions at home when you start the game, then you can use them, but you don't get points for them.
After vegetables, move on to dairy (or soy products if you are a vegan) and then through the other aisles. One of the ways you 'win' at this game is by stocking up on things you don't need immediately. Stock up on condiments, canned goods, frozen foods, grains, flours and more if they are on sale. If you have a coupon for something, consider it to be on sale too.
Don't forget to go to the special place the store discounts items about to go past their pull dates or have been discontinued. They often sit forlornly on a shelf somewhere at the back of the store.
When you get home, you will have an interesting assortment of food. Some you may never have cooked with before. If you don't have any ideas, there's Google and our blog. Type some of the ingredients you brought home into the blog search bar. It will bring up all sorts of recipes. You may not have the exact ingredients but you can modify a recipe a bit and create something darn tasty. Double your last shopping trip points for every meal you turn out using ONLY the things you bought on you last shopping trip.
You cannot lose at this game. You only win by more or less points. If you stick with it for a month you will have saved a hefty percentage on your food budget and accumulated lots of points. Take your points, convert them into dollars and treat yourself to something lovely like lunch at a new bistro or school supplies for the kids. This will give you the inspiration to play for another month.
The most important prize is not the bistro lunch or pencils for the kids. You have trained yourself to shop in a new way. Now you automatically keep a sharp eye out for what's on sale. Now you stock up. The game has opened you up to new ideas for creating delicious meals.

General Question
How do I perfectly match the paint on my wall?
Asked by DrewJ (436) February 13th, 2012
I moved into a new apartment. The walls are painted this light green color. I like it but there are a lot of places that have some paint peeling off and spots that needs Spackle – etc.
The walls were painted this color like ten years ago and my landlord doesn't have the paint or can even tell me what was used. I know Lowes will color match but what do they usually require? Should I peel off a little paint flake and bring it in? Is color matching perfectly even possible?
How can I paint over the peeling spots on my wall without having to do the whole wall? Any ideas?

text: Law Hot topics Is Canada ready for a new data breach notification regime? Businesses in Canada are going to have to get serious about figuring out how to respond to a data breach BY Justin Ling 13 Sep 2017 Share: Facebook Twitter Linkedin Email Businesses in Canada are going to have to get serious about figuring out how to respond to a data breach. This week's massive Equifax breach is a reminder of the stakes at play when dealing with users' data. The looming implementation of proposed regulations under Canada's Digital Privacy Act should also stiffen their resolve. After Equifax' systems were hacked, data on as many as 143 million Americans — and possibly a number of Canadians and others — was potentially compromised. The fallout has the U.S. Congress demanding answers, the New York Attorney General's office has launched an investigation, and class action lawsuits are being filed against it across America. One application for a class action, filed this week in a New York courtroom, contends that Equifax acted negligently by taking more than a full month to report the breach to their consumers on September 7, after learning of it on July 29. What's more, the application notes, "[u]nlike other data breaches, not all of the people affected by the Equifax breach may be aware that they're customers of the company." As a credit monitoring company, Equifax receives its information from financial institutions. Another application, filed in Texas, argues that Equifax's cyber security practises were lacking. "Equifax knew or should have known that its data and security systems did not adequately protect … consumer data," the application alleges. Canadians are getting in on the action, too. The Information and Privacy Commissioner of Canada has indicated its office will be looking into the matter. Class action lawyer Tony Merchant — of the Merchant Law Group — has filed application for a class action in British Columbia, Quebec, and Ontario. Bernice Karn, a partner at Cassels Brock who specialises in information technology law, warns businesses to gird themselves. "You can never do enough to guard against cyber attacks. They're going to happen. They're going to happen with more and more frequency," Karn told CBA National. "We're all kind of living in a fool's paradise if you think you can completely block yourself from this type of thing affecting your company or organization." Even so, panicking or over-correcting is the wrong course of action, she says. A breach might at first look bad. Once the forensic auditors show up, however, an apparent data breach may, in fact, turn out to be a failed hack. "Not all data breaches necessarily involve the compromise of personal information. You can rush to judgment," Karn says. "Take a step back." At the same time, organizations subject to Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) are required to implement appropriate safeguards, and soon will have to follow data breach notification requirements, that were passed into law in 2015, particularly where it is reasonable to believe that a breach creates a real risk of "significant harm." According to Nathalie David and Samuel Robichon at Clyde & Co's Montreal office, "significant harm" covers "a range of scenarios, from humiliation and reputational damage loss to property and financial losses." But it's hard to know what the threshhold is, and new reporting requirements are potentially onerous for corporations. "Clients are looking for binary analysis: If it's this, we need to notify, if it's that, we don't need to notify," Karn says, but adds: "I don't think any legislation can address this properly." In addition to reporting, the law will require companies to meticulously document breaches. That is, when the data breach provisions come into force. And that won't happen until the federal government passes regulations prescribing how notices are to be made. At long last, it published proposed regulations for comment earlier this month. The Gazette notice indicates that the government is considering boosting the reporting requirements, forcing companies to include assessments of the potential harm caused by these breaches. But Karn remains unimpressed. "When I read it, I thought to myself: 'We've been waiting this long for this?" It's still anyone's guess when the regulations will come into force. The notice in the Gazette reads states that organizations will be given "time to adjust their policies and procedures accordingly" to properly "track and record all breaches of security safeguards that they experience." Given that and the 30 day consultation period, Karn doesn't see these regulations coming into force in 2017. "I'm open to being pleasantly surprised," she says. If provinces are getting anxious, or worried about the impact of the federal regulations, they're more than welcome to adopt their own regulations on data breaches, given that PIPEDA can be supplanted by provincial legislation. Karn doesn't see that happening. "We've had PIPEDA now for, what, 16 years? We've had three provinces that have enacted their own legislation," she notes. Of those, only Alberta has mandatory data breach notification. Share: Facebook Twitter Linkedin Email Justin Ling is a regular contributor based in Ottawa.

New at Weltholz: Millboard decking
Discover the innovation in the "Weltholz Outdoor Flooring" product range: In addition to wooden and WPC boards as well as ceramic floor tiles, we are now introducing high-quality mineral fiber composite decking (RMC) from the British manufacturer Millboard. The solid, extremely robust flooring for outdoor areas such as terraces and balconies looks as attractive as real wood, but is actually wood-free.
Millboard decking combines outstanding functional features with a stunningly authentic wood look. The production of the material is particularly low in CO2. Under the scratch and dirt-resistant cover layer of the planks is a polymer-plastic core with glass fiber reinforcement. It provides stability and durability because it does not expand, contract, warp or rot. The almost maintenance-free surface coating Lastane® is resistant to algae growth, stains and mildew, as well as being splinter-free and non-slip even in wet conditions. It resists even high use, as occurs with commercial and public applications.
The elaborately hand-dyed wood grain of the planks looks deceptively real thanks to subtle detail variations, while their bleach- and UV-resistant colors retain their brilliance for many years. Every Millboard plank is unique. You can choose between different surface textures and colors. Concealed fixings as well as perfectly matched veneers and borders complete the harmonious overall image of Millboard outdoor decking.
The new Millboard collections – now available in the Weltholz OnlineTerminal

Fight the Bite is a new community awareness campaign launched by the Cities of Bunbury and Busselton and Shires of Capel, Dardanup and Harvey. The campaign was launched in partnership with the WA Department of Health in an effort to reduce the transmission of mosquito-borne disease.
Please find below the Facebook link and address for the Fight the Bite South West page.
Mosquito Research
A survey is currently being conducted in the South West into Mosquitoes in the South West and would really value your feedback. Get in quick to grab one of the 50 prize packs available for the first 50 respondents. You will find the survey at the following link.
Mosquito Control
Council's mosquito control programme generally operates from late August to April of each year, which is the disease threat period.
The Leschenault Mosquito Control Group comprises of the neighbouring Local Governments of Dardanup, Bunbury and Harvey working in cooperation to reduce mosquito numbers.
The breeding of mosquitoes in backyards in rainwater tanks, pot plant trays, bird baths, frog ponds or any container that holds water, can cause a severe local problem. So make sure you empty those containers out at least every 5 days. The mosquitoes are part of our estuary and river environments and are expected to be problem from time to time.
Remember, if mosquitoes are biting, use a tropical strength repellent, wear long loose clothing and avoid mosquito prone area and biting times.

For more details on flicker guidelines, see the WCAG 2.3 Guideline: Seizures.
Items with gentle pulses or subtle dimming/lighting effects are effective while still meeting accessibility guidelines.
Hidden Audience: Migraine Users
Some users, including those with certain types of epilepsy and migraines, may be susceptible to attacks or "episodes" when confronted with "loud" visual presentations. Particularly aggravating are:
- Rapidly blinking or animated objects, which can trigger an epileptic seizure in some users and headaches in others.
- Stripes, zig-zags and other types of geometric patterns, which can trigger migraines in some users.
- Strongly contrasting color schemes, which some users have reported cause headaches.

The earth laughs in flowers. E.E. Cummings
As I sit here and write this, I am in the middle of an Ayurvedic Cleanse. So food is on my mind. But it always is.
During the cleanse, we eat a mono-diet of a meal called Kitchari for a week. It is too involved to explain in this post, but it is done at the change of season for a gentle detox that ignites our digestive fire (agni), reduces our kapha (the Earth element that is prevalent now), decreases our inflammation, purges our ama (physical and mential toxic build-up), and calms our minds. One of my favorite parts of the change of season is the new arrival of seasonal goodies to enjoy. And I can't wait to add some of these treasures next week.
Spring is the season of birth, renewal, & hope.
Our bodies are reawakening after the long winter months. It is a time to spring clean your home and your life, and this includes what goes on your plate. I always notice a surge in energy, burst in creativity, and rush of excitement as the season begins. This is the perfect time to honor our newfound energy and choose food that revere the springtime.
Simple, nourishing, & lighter meals are what I crave now.
Greens, glorious greens, are in abundance right now. Springtime is awash with all the green vibrance - and is the perfect time to begin to add more raw and lightly steamed greens to your plate. Bok choy, dandelion, asparaus, arugula, spinach, fiddlehead, artichokes, and sprouts are ideal food for this time of year. As our bodies need more pungent (spicy), bitter, and astringent foods to balance the damp and cool climate the spring is known for. In Ayurveda, eating seasonally is of prime importance when I help clients choose appropriate foods for their constitution (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha - the combination of the 5 elements - air, space, fire, water, and earth that we are all made of in varying degrees).
Many of the green food are also known to be cleansing and healing, especially to our livers and gallbladder. Even if you eat consistently well and don't choose to partake in a cleanse, it is a good idea to add more of these to your diet in the spring. Salads, smoothies, and buddha bowls are great places to start. I also like to add more freshly juiced drinks to my diet now. This is the time that our bodies can begin to handle cooler drinks (but it is still benefical to drink warm water to help flush our systems).
I think of these foods as spring abundance.
GREENS | There are lots of lovely greens and many ways to incorporate them into your life. Check out the recipe below. It is delicious. They are also alkalizing and rich in chlorophyll. I just love my greens. There isn't a nutrition expert in the world who would ever say eat less greens. Most of us don't eat enough!
SEEDS | Chia, flax, hemp, sesame, and sunflower are great additions yearly, but especially in the spring. Seeds are new life, and the spring is bursting with new life.
FRESH HERBS & MICROGREENS | Yes - herbs are available year round, but they are more available now. This is the time to use the ones you've planted instead of from the store. Cilantro, for one, has been said to reduce heavy metals in the body. Herbs are nutritional powerhouses that add flavor and beauty to a dish.
POWER GREENS | Chlorella, spirulina, and wheatgrass are nice additions to help add chlorophyll and help flush toxins. I add these to smoothies.
RHUBARB & STRAWBERRIES | Rhubarb shows up first - and then in early June is when we see the first seasonal fruits of the season here in New England. Full of vitamins B and K, fiber and rich in antioxidants - and together make an amazing cobbler or crisp.
MILK THISTLE | Tea or tincture, and is excellent for regenerating the liver.
NETTLES & DANDELION herbs | Fresh nettles although known to sting are super nutritious. The list of benefits are endless. It can be added to a salad or made into pesto. Dandelions are considered a bitter - and are very cleansing not only our liver, but own blood and kidneys too. Both of these are also available in tea form. If you suffer from seasonal allergies, these are some remedies to try. I suggest to clients with severe sesonal allergies to drink nettle infusions (1 gram of dried nettles/quart mason jar). If you are curious about this, message me. But you also goggle how to make a nettles infusion, there are lots of resources on-line. I order mine here.
RAW LOCAL HONEY | It may be an old wive's tale, but I know people who have found relief from seasonal allergies using local honey. Honey has some amazing properties - from antibacterial to digestive to immune support. It is my sweetener of choice for tea and dressings.
As we fill our body with the goodness of the season, our bodies, minds and spirits will feel lighter, more energized, and mentally clear, and joyful as a result of all that our beautiful earth provides for us.

I think we should improve the algorithm. We should first map "184.108.40.206.2.26" to "SHA1" and "1.2.840.10040.4.1" to "DSA" and try to look for "SHA1withDSA" signature algorithm.

This looks a bit strange. It doesn't make sense for me to search for " 184.108.40.206.2.26" signature algorithm because this OID was assigned to SHA-1 hash algorithm - I think this should be removed. Also OID for SHA1withRSA is "220.127.116.11.2.29" - I have no idea why 'other provider' use SHA1's oid for it. Could you try "184.108.40.206.2.29" for this provider? So my question is: > 1.Whether the "188.8.131.52.2.26with1.2.840.10040.4.1" is the same as " > 188.8.131.52.2.27" signature? > 2.What is the real digit representation of the signature stored in > the > certificate? > > Furthermore, the bcprov.jar itself has a certificate signed by the > SHA1withDSA, but actually the signature is provided by itself.

This Sunday is the feast of Pentecost or Trinity Sunday; the name of Pentecost means the "Fiftieth day" and was so called by the Jews of the old covenant who celebrated the event of the giving of the Law on Sinai, fifty days after the feast of the Passover. Later on, under the new covenant (Christian) era fifty days after His Resurrection God sent forth the Holy Spirit so the Church commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Disciples and Apostles of Christ which was seen in the form of a mighty rushing wind and tongues of fire. The Orthodox Church is the "new covenant" as the old covenant had been ripped up when Christ died on the Cross, symbolized by the veil of the temple being ripped in half.
According to Jewish tradition their Pentecost celebrated the showing forth of the Torah which was dictated to Moses by God. The word "Torah" means "to teach". On Passover, the people of Israel were freed from their enslavement to Pharaoh; on Pentecost they were given the Torah and became a nation committed to serving God.
Pentecost commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles on the day of Pentecost; it also celebrates the establishment of the Church through the preaching of the Apostles and the baptism of the thousands who on that day believed in the Gospel message of salvation through Jesus Christ. The Feast is also seen as the culmination of the revelation of the Holy Trinity.
This great Feast of the Church is celebrated with the Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom on the Sunday and preceded the evening before by the Vigil Service, at which we hear once again since Pascha the prayer "O Heavenly King, the Comforter" …… Immediately following the Sunday Liturgy the Vesper service is conducted that includes the kneeling prayers. These prayers mark the resumption of prostrations and kneeling which has been suspended during the Paschal season. On the Monday following the Feast, the Divine Liturgy is conducted in commemoration of the All-holy and Life-creating and All-powerful Spirit, Who is God, and One of the Trinity, and of one honour and one essence and one glory with the Father and the Son.
Icon of the Feast
The icon of the Feast of Pentecost is known as "The Descent of the Holy Spirit". It is an icon of bold colours signifying this great event. At the top of the icon is a semicircle with rays coming from it pointing toward the Apostles, and the tongues of fire are seen descending upon each one of them signifying the descent of the Holy Spirit. This all takes place in the upper room where the Disciples of Christ gathered after the Ascension. The Apostles including the Mother of God are shown seated in a semicircle, symbolising the unity of the Church. Included in the group of the Apostles is Saint Paul, who wasn't in the upper room, but he's there to represent of the mission of the Church. We also see the four Evangelists-Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John-all holding books of the Gospel, while the other Apostles hold scrolls to represent the teaching authority given to them by Christ.
In the centre of the icon below the Apostles, a royal attired figure is depicted in a black arched background. This is a symbolic figure, Cosmos, denoting the created Universe, not including the Creator. He represents mankind living in darkness and sin. However, the figure carries in his open arms, a cloth containing scrolls which represents the teaching of the Apostles, almost in anticipation of the enlightenment to come
The other Icon of the feast is of the Hospitality of Abraham. It depicts the three angels who visited Abraham at the Oak of Mamre – a prefiguring and interpretation the Holy Trinity.

After the blue fly experience at the Manby hacienda I headed north from Taos toward the Rio Hondo and then turned west on a dirt road that leads down into the gorge, the John Dunn Bridge, and Black Rock Hot Springs. My plan was pretty simple. Find the treasure chest somewhere down near the union of the Hondo and the Grande and go home. I try not to make things too complicated.
It was a sweltering day to be in the gorge. Miserable for the likes of me. But probably a pleasant day for New Mexicans. I'm a wuss when it comes to heat. Eighty degrees is unusually hot where I come from. Ninety is life-threatening.

A couple of indignant ravens are perched on the iron portal of the old truss bridge like sentinels at the gates of hell. They watch my approach just ahead of my own dustball. I park in a wide spot in front of the bridge and keep the door closed until the fine brown powder swirls past and settles on the wooden deck. As I open the door the disgusted ravens yell at me and fly off down the river. I tell myself that next time I buy a truck I'll go for the air conditioning.
I grab my camera and ice axe and walk behind the van to a trail hanging along the steep east side of the river. I know that the bridge's namesake, John Dunn built a hotel down here somewhere and I figure maybe Forrest hid that chest around the foundation of Dunn's old structure. However, I am going to have to scrounge around to find any hotel remains. I can't readily detect where the old hotel might have stood. No part of it seems to leap into view. I know the County took over the road in the 50's moved it over from where Dunn's was located and the old wooden bridge was replaced around the same time. That hotel could have been knocked down in the 40's or 50's. The space available for building a hotel…even a small one …is pretty limited down in this tight gorge. By my eyes there were only a couple of spots where it could have been.
Over on the other side of the gorge I can make out the remains of a dark brown rock retaining wall that John Dunn's crew must have erected when they were building the road over there.
Tough buggers those old guys. Dunn and his buddies had nothing but picks and shovels to carve that road out of the steep, hard, side of a solid rock canyon. Before Dunn, Manby had a road there too but it was little more than a very primitive trail that had been used by the Indians and Spaniards. Dunn made it into an actual road where he could drive wagons and later, his car.
After a couple of hours of searching all the spots big enough for a structure and finding no gleaming chest of gold and gems I decide to move on. South and west of the bridge is Black Rock Hot Spring. There is a trail that heads over there. It's not far. A quarter mile perhaps from the bridge. That seems like the next logical place to look.
Its an easy trail to walk. I spot several bright red and yellow cactus blooms among the dust and rocks. About halfway down the trail there is a pretty good sized cave. Its not terribly deep but I can see how folks would have crawled into it to get out of the hot sun and rain ever since man started coming out to the hot spring.
There are both contemporary names and ancient petroglyphs carved into the rocks all along the trail. It made me realize that I was walking the very same trail ancient humans had walked to get to this prehistoric hot spring. How many trails are left that have not changed since early humans started treading them? How many centuries since the first person might have walked down here? 5…10?..a hundred?…I have no idea.
I decided to climb into the cave and have a look around. Its not a scary, dark cave. Its open with lots of light. This made it easy to look for a blaze. I can count hundreds of names and initials carved into the soft rock around the cave. Then I see it. Off by itself. Near the cave entrance. A big, clear "F". Holy cow! My heart skips a couple of beats. I don't feel the heat anymore. I stare at it. It could be Forrest's. I look directly down from the "F" to the floor of the cave.
I tap the area with my ice axe. It's solid rock. No holes. No secret hidey spots. I survey the immediate area looking for some sort of place Forrest could stash his chest. I poke around behind and under some boulders. I walk the few dozen feet down to the river and carefully look around. Nothing. It's clearly someone else's "F". I wish they wouldn't do that!
Once I'm certain no chest is hidden around the "F" I head over to the spring. The closer I get to the languid clear pools of heated water the more carvings there are in the rocks. At the spring itself the rocks are so carved up it's hard to read the names and dates. Names on top of names. Names chipped off by weather. There are several from the 1920's. I wonder if Manby or Dunn left their mark here somewhere. It would be cool to find one or both. After a half hour of searching I find neither and no additional "F" either.
I walk around the last rock and before me is the spring. It's made up of two pools. The pool most inland from the river is clear and blue. It's about two feet deep and has lots of rocks for sitting. They don't look like sculpted rocks…like they are going to be comfortable or anything…just rocks. One would think that after all these centuries someone would have carved a nice plushy comfortable rock to sit on…
The pool is no bigger than a kiddie pool from Wallmart. I test the water with my right hand. It's hotter than I need. I could see using it on a cool day but its already 90 plus. I'm not that interested in being hotter. The second pool is right on the river's edge. The spring water is mixed with chilling river water so it's less hot and less blue.
Hot springs are supposed to have all kinds of therapeutic value. I could use some therapeutic value so I look around for others. No one in sight. I strip quickly and step in. Its comfortable enough. Warmer than that icy, river water and cooler than the upper pool. It's quite comfortable as long as I don't get too near where the river leaks into the pool. It too is shallow. If I sit on the bottom the water comes up to my chest. I refrain from dunking my head since I don't know what kind of critters live in the water. I contemplate the world and my place in it. That takes about twenty seconds. Then I start thinking about the treasure again. I stare at the far side of the canyon. A couple of vultures are playing on the air currents. They are doing lazy circles several hundred feet over my head. It looks like fun. The only sound is the splash of the river as it rushes by like its late for a dinner date.
After about fifteen minutes of therapeutic soaking I start getting antsy about someone showing up so I step out of the pool, air dry quickly in the New Mexico arid outdoors and get dressed.
I spend another 15 minutes checking out the area for signs of Forrest. I find none and head back to the truck feeling cleaner, tanner, healthier and unstressed by the weight of a chest full of treasure. I watch the hatted fisher angle for a bit, hoping to learn something, then point the truck toward Yellowstone and head up the canyon wall singing something by the Doobie Brothers and mentally checking one more place off my "to look" list.

Gone Home Gets Commentary Mode Today
First-person '90s 'em up, Gone Home, receives a free update on the 22nd of this month, in the year 2013. That's today! Fullbright's tallest developer, Steve Gaynor, explains: "All of the developers on the game, as well as Sarah Grayson (the voice of Sam), Chris Remo our composer, and (in a super weird & cool twist, to me) Corin Tucker from the bands Heavens to Betsy and Sleater Kinney, recorded audio commentary." This is a free update, and it'll work as it does in other first-person games, with triggers around the game where you can hear folks talk about some game-relevant.
Gone Home has proven rather popular, shifting over 50k copies, and making Alec do a biographical skit.

Media Rights Capital has locked up the coin to fund its ambitious film, TV and digital production slate for the next three years, closing a three-year, $350 million revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase and Comerica.
Timing of the deal is notable given the seize-up in the nation's financial and credit sectors during the past few weeks. Remarkably, MRC execs began the negotiations with banks only six weeks ago, at the start of the latest wave of tremors from the credit and mortgage meltdown crisis that has rocked Wall Street institutions such as Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch and mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Deal's closing gives MRC immediate access to $295 million to fund its production and marketing activities, with the remaining $55 million to close within a year. MRC has eight films set to open in the next 12 months. Company also has 10 TV series in production, including four skeins for the CW's Sunday sked that bow Oct. 5, and five major digital content initiatives, including the ballyhooed "Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy" series of animated shorts from "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane.
"There's no way you can look at this other than to say that the banks had a lot of confidence in us," said MRC co-chief exec Asif Satchu. "They voted with their dollars at a time when anyone would have understood if they hadn't."
Satchu said MRC pushed to get the credit facility inked, even at this rocky moment, because of the urgency in the financial markets and MRC's needs. He said none of the 10 banks with which they began negotiations last month dropped out.
MRC was founded in 2003 with equity capital from investors including Goldman Sachs, AT&T and ad giant WPP. In recent years it had gone to the credit markets for one-off financing deals on a project-by-project basis. But as its film and TV expanded rapidly during the past year, it became clear that MRC needed a broader and more flexible line of credit, Satchu said.

Let's learn how to make pom poms today!
I'll show you two methods.
- One uses a fork and makes a tiny / mini pom pom
- And the other method uses your hands and makes a normal sized pom pom
There are all types of fancy methods out there that use a special pom pom making device or cardboard and I've tried most of them.
But the methods I show you are fast, easy and can be whipped out even if you don't have all the fancy tools, the time or the patience for the other methods.
So have a watch:
These are ideal to put onto knitted or crocheted hats! You can also hang them as ornaments on your Christmas tree.
When I was in third grade, we made these and the teacher called them "warm fuzzies," which I loved, so definitely make these with kids if you get a chance!

It's Remodeling Season. Vet Your Candidates Carefully!
You've been dreaming of that new kitchen makeover, bathroom renovation, or addition for years, and now you're ready to make it a reality. Selecting the right home remodeling company can be the difference between realizing your dream and ending up in a living nightmare. At first glance, all the candidates may look very similar and tell you what you want to hear. But what happens when you start asking the tough questions. The strong contenders won't shy away, sweat under the spotlight, or try to redirect your attention to one of their talking points. They'll welcome the scrutiny and answer your questions directly and thoroughly. Once properly vetted, only the strong will remain, the ones worthy of your vote and your hard earned investment dollars. Here are some key issues to raise as you evaluate the nominees.
What Kind of Track Record Do They Have?
How long have they been in business? What kind of references can they provide? Is it an extensive list where you can call and speak to whoever you want? Or do they just present a list of rather anonymous testimonials? "Steve in McLean, Mary in Alexandria… etc". When you ask for references does it take days or weeks for them to get back to you? These are signs that they may have a hard time pleasing customers consistently or have something to hide.
Does their Rhetoric Pass Your Fact Check?
Don't just take their word for it. Do your own investigating and independently verify their claims to be true. Reliable 3rd party sources, such as www.guildquality.com, the nation's leader in customer satisfaction surveying for the building industry, provide hard data on how companies measure up, as well as reviews from previous clients. Consumer Checkbook is another vetting source. They provide not-for-profit ratings of local service companies. Angie's List, Yelp and Google are also useful tools. Check them all. Some companies may have a few glowing reviews on one sight and a few scathing digs on another. Opinions vary, but listen for common themes. The reliable metric is a combination of quantity and quality.
Do They Have a Plan?
A renovation is a complex project that requires detailed preplanning and skillful execution. The more through and detailed the plan, the smoother the execution will go. That being said, unforeseen circumstances will occasionally arise. For the unprepared, a minor setback, such as a part damaged in shipping or a weather emergency, could create a bottleneck that delays the overall project. A reliable firm will have a comprehensive plan with built-in contingencies to stay on track.
Do they Have their House in Order?
Do the companies you are considering have a "bricks and mortar" office or showroom you can visit, or do they operate out of a truck with a website and 800-number. Be sure to get a copy of their business license and current certificate of insurance. What does their contract look like. Is it a professional document that is detailed yet easy for a layperson to understand, or is it a cryptic legalese that only a lawyer can decipher. Or worse, is it simplistic and vague. The home improvement industry has suffered many a black eye from shady contractors who disappear after a deposit has been given, or even worse, mid-project. If they do finish your project on time and on budget, what does their warranty cover. Remember, a warranty is only as good as the company providing it. If they go out of business, any warranty they've provided goes with them. Make sure the company's foundation is as stable and secure as the one you'd have them pour for you.
Would You Trust Them to Hold Your Baby?
When you renovate your home, you are essentially inviting a stranger, or group of strangers into your house to tear it apart and put it back together again. Who are these people? How do you know you can trust them? A smart home owner will make sure everyone involved is properly trained, licensed, insured, drug tested and background checked. Taking these extra steps will result not only in peace of mind for the safety of your home and family, but also for the quality of the work being performed. If a problem should arise, those who go through the proper channels have recourse not available to those who gambled on a lower price, faster finish time, or some other carrot dangled to entice an easy victory.
When it comes to improving your home, vetting the candidates is a critical step. After all, once your vote has been cast, you'll be living with the results for years to come. Choose carefully!

Custom Remodeling Ideas for Growing Households/in Additions, Custom Remodeling /by Foster Remodeling
One reason people choose to put in home additions or do custom remodeling in Northern Virginia is to create more space for their growing households. Whether bursting at the seams is a side effect of merging families, new babies, aging parents or boomerang children, a home remodel can relieve the stress of a cramped house. Here are a few ways to make more room or better use of existing space for a growing household with a custom remodel.
The latest trend in sinks for multiple users is the trough sink. It features two or more stations with spigots and handles over a sloped basin that feeds into a common drain. For the kitchen remodel, it suits the cook, who has extra helpers to wash the vegetables while they're filling up a pan with water to cook them. In a bathroom remodeling project, a trough sink saves time, allowing various family members sink access at the same time. This is great for kids.
In households with several drivers, the standard two-hole garage isn't enough. A three-hole garage and a circular driveway can accommodate extra vehicles, increasing safety and convenience for everyone. Depending on the lay of the land, the garages can be attached or detached. If you're looking for extra space but you have a spacious garage and very few drivers in your family, you could convert the existing unit into extra bedrooms or a home office.
Home additions can increase your living area dramatically. An extra wing on the back of the house offers extra bedroom space, which relieves the cramped feeling experienced by Northern Virginia homeowners in older houses. When the same exterior materials are used for additions, the home keeps its cohesion without losing its character. Changes to the existing layout can complement the addition. for example, open floor plans in the existing area create more space for large dining tables, more seating for family members by the TV and larger bedrooms.
10 Elements to Remodel for a Family Addition/in Additions, Custom Remodeling, Design Build /by Foster Remodeling
Starting a family can have a huge impact on how you view your home. When your family is expecting a baby, there's more to a home remodeling project than converting the guest room into a nursery. Preparing your Northern Virginia home for a new arrival can include added safety features, electrical and plumbing upgrades, comfort accents and practical changes. Here are 10 elements you should discuss with your Northern Virginia design and build contractor before deciding on the scope of your home renovations.
1. Safety
Keeping little ones safe is paramount, whether they're infants, toddlers or even school-age children. Build safety features into your home through sturdy stair banisters, restricted access to stairwells and electrical rooms, kitchen cabinets and more.
2. Sound
Soundproofing rooms can work both ways. You may want to muffle sounds penetrating the walls of the nursery or protect other rooms in the house from loud crying. The floors and ceilings can also be soundproofed to minimize footsteps traveling to rooms below.
3. Lighting
Soft lighting with a dimmer switch can provide enough light to scare away monsters, yet be light enough to keep Mom or Dad from stubbing their toes on the crib in the dark.
4. Room to Crawl and Play
How much empty space is there in the baby's room? While furniture is important, reducing clutter leaves plenty of room to crawl and play.
5. Home Sound System
When choosing elements for your home remodeling plans, a home sound system is another option. An intercom that connects sounds and communications to different rooms can be implemented. Some home security systems also offer similar features.
6. Generator
Adding a whole-home generator minimizes the inconvenience and health safety concerns when the power goes out. Hurricanes, ice and snow can cause downed power lines and outages for several hours or even several days. It comes on almost seamlessly when the power goes out and comes back on automatically when power is restored.
7. Visibility
An open floor plan on the ground floor increases visibility for parents and children who are in adjoining rooms. For example, a parent might be in the kitchen making up a bottle or a family meal while the baby is in the living room in the playpen or swing.
8. Flooring
Choose a surface that's easy to clean and is resilient to stains and spills. Warm floors are an option for added cozy comfort.
9. Nursery Colors/Decor
Choose colors and decor that can adapt with age and interest. Pastels will make the room look bigger. Primary colors are attention-grabbers.
10. Room Location
When you first designated the room that is soon to become a nursery, you had a reason for putting it where you did. Whether it was the smallest room in the house or you didn't want it near the master bedroom, now is the time to revisit the strategy of which room should become the nursery. Consider whether it's big enough, if it's close enough to parents and if heating and air conditioning are sufficient. Choosing a different room or planning other home renovations are other options.
Signs That You Need a Home Addition/in Additions /by Foster Remodeling
When you've lived in the same Northern Virginia home for several years, you can grow accustomed to making small concessions to your comfort over time. Whether it's feeling cramped, having several children sharing a room, or losing your coveted hobby space to the new nursery, at some point you'll need to make a change. Staying in your home doesn't have to be stressful. If your home seems to be bursting at the seams, it's time to make it a bit bigger.
Home additions can range from a new garage to a backyard deck to adding bedrooms on to the back of the house. A second story can also alleviate the stress from having too many people in too small of a space. If you're not sure whether you need a home addition, check out this list of 12 signs that it's time to make your house bigger.
1. The number of people in your household has increased since you moved into it.
2. You find yourself tripping over furniture and furnishings in your walking path.
3. Family members sharing a room are frequently finding things to fight about, from who owns the right-hand side of the closet to whether or not the light should be turned on or off at bedtime. If you see lines drawn down the middle of the bedroom floor, it's definitely time for a home addition.
4. There is a constant shuffle over the order of where the cars are parked, making you late for work when you can't get out of your own driveway. You need a garage – or a bigger one.
5. There aren't enough places for everyone to sit together during meals.
6. Your older parents are coming to live with you.
7. You don't have a place where everyone in the family can comfortably gather at once without someone having to stand or just sit on the floor.
8. Your adult child is moving back into your empty nest and you've already converted the bedroom into another room.
9. Your back yard holds little or no interest.
10. Every closet is full, and there's no room for any new furnishings.
11. You could work at home if only there was a suitable place for an office.
12. You wistfully look at other people's houses and wish yours was more like theirs.

(Business in Cameroon) - Starting from 2019, 70% of the front and back of cigarette packages will be covered with a message along with an image warning illustrating a disease related to tobacco consumption, the national anti-tobacco coalition (C3T), led by Dr. Flore Ndembiyembe (photo), informed.
"The image warnings effectively present the risks inherent in tobacco consumption. Studies showed that images could better motivate smokers to quit and discourage non-smokers from starting," explains Flore Ndembiyembe.
According to the coalition, the new regulation removes packaging of less than 20 cigarettes and prohibits descriptions of taste, odor, flavor or any other additive on package.
For Flore Ndembiyembe, this is a step forward in Cameroon's tobacco control efforts. The country thus joins other countries in the world that have successfully adopted and implemented the regulation on graphic health labelling; a powerful means of reducing tobacco consumption.

Aaliyah – 4 Page Letter (CFCF Remix)
I've always loved Aaliyah, and 4 Page Letter is one of my favorite songs. Montreal based producer CFCF slows it down, adds big, fat pads and a Three Six Mafia-esque beat to take it in a completely new, yet familiar direction. I've been obsessed with this sound for a while now and CFCF really delivers with this track.

Listen to Revival by Eminem
4 years after Eminem released MMLP2, the Detroit emcee returns with Revival. It's Eminem's ninth studio album and for the project he collaborates with Beyonce, Phresher, Ed Sheeran, Kehlani, Alicia Keys, Pink, X Ambassadors, Skylar Grey, and more. Hints of a new Eminem album came when 2 Chainz spoke on a collaboration he recorded for the project. Then Eminem unleashed a freestyle dissing President Donald Trump at the BET Hip Hop Awards. But the album's big reveal came via a mock drug ad that cures "Atrox Rithimus." The lead single from Revival is the Beyonce featured emotional cut, "Walk On Water." Eminem performed the track at the 2017 MTV EMAs. Eminem followed up that with "Untouchable" featuring a Cheech and Chong sample.
Stream Revival below.
Highlights on Revival include the connected tracks "Castle" and "Arose." Eminem writes letters to his daughter Hailie Jade Mathers on "Castle." He tells the story of when he overdosed and almost killed himself. At the end of "Arose," Eminem rewinds time and instead flushes the drugs that almost killed him down the toilet. Other standout songs on Revival include "Believe," "Framed," "Bad Husband," and the sure-to-be-hit, "River" featuring Ed Sheeran. "Chloraseptic" is a good track too, but for whatever reason, 2 Chainz was removed from the Phresher-featured song. One listen and you'll just wonder how much better it could have been. Something tells me that 2 Chainz killed this beat.

As my new 3000 sqft garage/man cave comes together, I want to share the start to finish project with my forum friends. This project started out with a 3 acre property that needed just about everything. The 5500 sq. ft home was a mess and the property took 3 months just to clean out the trash and debris.
Here is an aerial view along with removal of 2 barns, (one over 100 years old), trees and 15 20ft containers of trash.

On Saturday August 5, one of Gospel music's most exciting new artists – Travis Greene – makes his debut concert appearance in Montreal.
The highly acclaimed inspirational recording artist who jump-started 2017 by receiving two Grammy nominations, and winning an unprecedented seven awards at the 2017 Stellar Gospel Music Awards in Las Vegas will bring his charisma and soulful Christian music to Montreal, as part of a two-city Canadian tour.
In addition to his impressive credentials that's made him the face of faith-based music in the new millennium, Greene has connected with millions around the globe through his heart-wrenching testimony of two near-death experiences as a young man and the miraculous birth of his first child.
Greene's impressive transparency and powerful testimony has made him an alluring figure with a new generation of believers, looking for both authenticity and musicality from its Gospel artists.
And his popularity earned him a surprising invite to perform at the 2017 Presidential inauguration, an incident that created quite a firestorm on social media, but even that controversial decision did little to derail Greene's fame and surging music sales.
He recently released his latest song, "You Waited" on all digital music platforms, instantly earning chart-topping status to his highly-anticipated album Crossover: Live from Music City.
Greene's recent single came just in time for the 2017 Billboard Music Awards, where he received three additional awards within Gospel categories.

Lawrence Le DouxBE
How do you combine sadness and joy? Lawrence seeks to answer that question in each of his albums, which inevitably evoke other opposing sentiments within the listener. Maybe it's because of his former occupation as a gardener that Peter Kersten aka Lawrence captures such contemplative and nostalgic tendencies in each of his productions. What is certain, however, is that Lawrence summons his emotional and melancholic melodies to contribute to another passion: house and minimalist techno.Cofounder of the Dial label, he has released records for labels such as Kompakt, Ladomat and Novamute, as well as remixed artists like Goldfrapp and Superpitcher. Kersten demonstrates his eclecticism by operating under the pseudonym Sten for the minimal techno genre, Bordeaux for his more ambient side and Lloyd for his abstract hip-hop endeavors. A committed enthusiast of micro sounds in the pure German minimal tradition, Lawrence distinguishes himself through the consistency of his productions, weaving together a profound tapestry of captivating melodies.

Useful Tips for Online Safety
We urge all parents to speak to their children, nieces, nephews etc. and other children about what to do if they are frightened by something they see online.
There has been a lot on the news recently about the current trends which are particularly nasty. For this reason, please encourage children to :-
• Talk to a parent/carer/trusted adult if they see anything or hear anything that is scaring them.
• If they are told 'not to tell their parents' then that is a green light to go straight to an adult.
• Not to download or accept any unknown contacts on social media or particularly WhatsApp.
• Please ensure they know that the scary faces that may have popped up or could pop up are not real. They can't hurt them.
Children can talk about anything that is worrying them or anything strange they may notice online. If you are a parent or carer, we hope you will find the web links below useful.

Are you interested in starting a rewarding new career in the field of nursing, but you have a bachelor's degree in another field? You may be able to earn your master's degree in nursing within just a few years with a direct entry MSN program in NM. Find out more about the possibilities for nursing study in New Mexico by contacting the schools you find on this site. Researching the options for direct entry master's in nursing programs is the best way to find out which route into nursing is best for you.
Many people go to school and earn their bachelor's degree just to find out the career path they chose was not what they had anticipated it to be. Now you can go back to school and build upon the education you already have to earn an advanced degree in nursing. The nursing field has rewarding careers with many versatile roles that you could be utilized in. A direct entry MSN degree will help prepare you to advance to the next level in your career.
If you hold a bachelor's degree, there may be a direct entry MSN program that will fit you and your lifestyle in New Mexico. At this time, New Mexico is facing one of the worst shortage of doctors in its history. At a time when thousands of people have signed up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, there is an overwhelming need for primary care than ever before. Where doctors are sparse, especially in underserved rural areas, advanced practice nurses can help fill in the void.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were only 740 nurse practitioners, 70 nurse midwives, and 50 nurse anesthetists employed in New Mexico in 2013. New Mexico legislature plans on launching a $220,000 campaign aimed at recruiting nurses. Nurse practitioners are given the liberty to practice independently and diagnose and prescribe medicine to patients in New Mexico. While many states do not give that independence, advanced practice nurses in New Mexico are a step ahead of the rest.
Applying for a direct entry MSN program is not a difficult process if you have all your information in order. Many schools require that you have transcripts, a minimum GPA of 3.0, application fees, and references. Upon acceptance, you will need to make sure your prerequisites are completed. More often than not, prerequisites are required before the start of the program although some programs may allow that they be taken simultaneously.
Most direct entry MSN programs start out teaching you the fundamentals of nursing. It will help prepare you to pass the exam (NCLEX) to become a licensed registered nurse (RN) before diving into accelerated nursing theory that pertains to your MSN degree. The courses that you will take are advanced and will prepare you to become a leader in your field.
Some classes that you may be required to take are:
- Foundations I: Health Assessment & Fundamentals
- Foundations II: Health Assessment and Fundamentals
- Research and Evidence as a Foundation For Nursing
- Pathophysiology Concepts for Advanced Nursing Practice
- Pharmacotherapeutics for Nursing Practice
- Nursing Concepts and Intervention, Adult/Older Adult
- Family-centered Nursing of Children
- Concepts and Intervention – Promotion of Mental Health
- Quality and Patient Safety
- Nursing Care for Patients with Chronic Conditions
- Maternity Nursing and Women's Health
- Nursing Concepts and Intervention, Adult/Older Adult II
- Nursing Care for Patients with Acute Conditions
- Health Outcomes
- Theoretical Foundations
- Health Promotion Across the Lifespan
- Ethics, Policy and Health Care Advocacy
- Organizational and Systems Leadership
- Clinical Nurse Leader Practicum
- Advanced Pharmacology
- Advanced Health Care Assessment (Pediatrics or Adult/Older Adult)
- Informatics, Technology and Professional Issues
- Clinical Nurse Leader Practicum
You could choose from a variety of specializations in a direct entry MSN program. Many choose careers as nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, nurse anesthetists, clinical nurse leaders, or even nurse educators. Not only is there a shortage of doctors, but there is also a shortage of nurse educators in New Mexico. The shortage of educators contributes to the underlying problem of the shortage of nurses. Many nursing program applicants are turned away each semester due to the lack of teachers. A MSN degree with a specialization in nursing education could qualify you to teach in a clinical setting.
By receiving your MSN degree you could help be a part of the solution to the nursing crisis in New Mexico. Find out what direct entry MSN program in New Mexico is right for you by requesting information from the many programs on our page.

Rising act Bea Miller isn't just a talented vocalist—the 18-year-old pop singer also boasts the ability to see and feel colors when hearing certain sounds, a phenomenon known as sound-to-color synesthesia (or chromesthesia for the fancy folks).
Sitting down with Fuse for a quick game of Artist Color Association, Miller was asked to pick musicians who best represented six different colors. For the color red, she went with OG act Led Zeppelin, adding, "Red is usually anger. But sometimes, very happy songs are a bright red to me, which is a very huge contrast."
Miller also revealed color pairings for French Montana, Halsey, Prince and Hayley Williams. When it came to yellow, she immediately linked the eye-catching color to Miley Cyrus, who best reflected yellow's intricate shades.
"A lot of the times I see blue, I see the same shade of blue. But yellow is always different shades, and I feel like Miley has gone through so many different versions of Miley," Miller explains.
Speaking of Miley, take it back to 2014 when Miller praised her fellow pop songstress for having "no regard for anyone's opinion":

text: Humor Urban Legends The Truth Behind the JFK "Jelly Doughnut" Myth Did President Kennedy make a gaffe in his Berlin Wall speech? Share PINTEREST Email Print © CORBIS/Corbis via Getty Images Urban Legends Classic & Historic Legends Urban Legends in the News Rumors & Hoaxes Animal Folklore Scary Stories By David Emery David Emery is an internet folklore expert, and debunker of urban legends, hoaxes, and popular misconceptions. He currently writes for Snopes.com. our editorial process David Emery Updated July 16, 2018 Did President John F. Kennedy make a major German blunder in his famous "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech at the Berlin Wall in 1963? According to some reports, JFK should have said "Ich bin Berliner" ("I am a citizen of Berlin"), because "Ich bin ein Berliner" means "I am a jelly doughnut." A Berliner is, in fact, a type of jelly doughnut made in Berlin. But did the president actually make an embarrassing error? The Gaffe That Never Was The myth that Kennedy had said "I am a jelly doughnut" did not appear until years after the president gave his speech. In 1988, a letter to the editor was printed in Newsweek identifying the supposed faux pas, and a few months later a full article about it appeared in the New York Times. The urban legend was later repeated by CNN and other outfits. Margit Hosseini, who heard the speech as a young girl, even came forward to say that she had laughed at the president's reference to a "pancake." These reports, however, were erroneous. Experts say that Kennedy's grammar was flawless when he uttered his famous words on June 26, 1963. The phrase had been translated for him by a professional interpreter. German speakers insist that President Kennedy said the phrase correctly, although possibly with a thick American accent. The German language has subtleties that very few non-native speakers grasp. If Kennedy had said "Ich bin Berliner," he would have sounded silly because with his heavy accent he couldn't possibly have come from Berlin. By saying "Ich bin ein Berliner," he actually said "I am one with the people of Berlin." The president had a German journalist translate the phrase for him, and that journalist coached him at length on exactly how to pronounce it. It is true that in some parts of Germany the word "Berliner" can just as well denote a certain kind of jelly-filled pastry as a citizen of Berlin. But the double meaning is unlikely to cause confusion, since the word always appears in a certain context. Likewise, Americans might refer to a certain person as a New Yorker, and no one would mistake that person for the weekly magazine of the same name. The context matters. A German Grammar Lesson Hoping to put the misinformation to rest, linguist Jürgen Eichhoff undertook a concise grammatical analysis of Kennedy's statement for the academic journal Monatshefte in 1993. "'Ich bin ein Berliner' is not only correct," Eichhoff concluded, "but the one and only correct way of expressing in German what the president intended to say." An actual Berliner would say, in proper German, "Ich bin Berliner." But that wouldn't have been the right phrase for Kennedy to use. The addition of the indefinite article "ein" is required, Eichhoff explains, to express a metaphorical identification between subject and predicate. Without this article, the speaker could be interpreted as saying that he is literally a citizen of Berlin, which was obviously not Kennedy's intention. To give another example, the German sentences "Er ist Politiker" and "Er ist ein Politiker" both mean "He is a politician," but they're understood by German speakers as different statements with different meanings. The first means, more exactly, "He is (literally) a politician." The second means "He is (like) a politician." You would say of a Congressman, for example, "Er ist Politiker." But you would say of an organizationally astute coworker, "Er ist ein Politiker." So, while the proper way for a Berlin resident to say "I am a Berliner" is "Ich bin Berliner," the proper way for a non-resident to say he's a Berliner in spirit is precisely what Kennedy said: "Ich bin ein Berliner." Though this expression can also be translated as "I am a jelly donut," no adult German speaker could possibly have misunderstood Kennedy's meaning, or regarded it as a mistake.

To me, guitarist, Eric Gale was the magic on Grover Washington's cover of "Mr. Magic". His playing is just enough, very tasty and never too much. And what an interesting solo. He reminds me of a sax player more than a guitarist on this track.
Kenny Loggins-vocals, Bob James-Fender Rhodes, Eric Gale Guitar
I've always thought the guitar on this is about as tasteful as it gets:
just recently posted an eric gale playin soul jazz early in his career with red holloway in listening to now thread...
he and cornell dupree were in stuff...who worked on saturday night live and backed a whole lot of acts...like john lennon, paul simon, joe cocker etc
Eric Gale has always epitomized, for me, the three Ts- touch, tone, and taste. Guitarist extraordinaire!
For a moment I thought the thread was about Eric Gales! I like both of them!

I was always fond of Eric Gale's playing on Paul Simon's One Trick Pony, like on the tune Late in the Evening. Such a delicious tone!
He did a ton of studio work and was a master of the understatement. I love his laid back solo at 2:55 on Bob James' album cut of "Angela", the theme song from the tv show Taxi.
Often listen to "In A Jazz Tradition" when driving. It's a Ron Carter / Eric Gale date with the very funky Lonnie Smith, Grady Tate, and Houston Person. Brilliant stuff.

After watching that, I found the inexpensive DVD.
Cornell Dupree - guitar

Steve Gadd - drums
Eric Gale - guitar
Richard Tee - Keyboards
Guest artist - Odetta vocals on "Oh Happy Days"
I still have the first lp of Stuff and Ginseng Woman of Eric Gale from the 70s.
Eric is an example of a classic R@B/Funk/Soul guitarist ,similar to other players in the genre, whose style could be heard in all the small bars, lounges, and taverns on Chicago's West /South side during the 60's,70's and early 80's. Players of this ilk always provided a good groove and never overplay. I remember the late Capt. Jack McDuff, jazz organist, who played frequently at Chicago's Jazz Showcase who, later in his career, used mostly talented R@B guitarists in his trio/quartets. I believe the reason was that, generally, they didn't overplay and provided excellent comping. However, his band "Heatin' System" featured the young George Benson where Jack was credited with giving GB his first break in the business.. Check out the guitar solo in the first video from 5:02 to 6:42(R@B) in comparison to GB's solo(Jazz) in the second earlier recording. Play live! . . . Marinero

It's been a couple months since our last official adoption post (Ps-you can always access and read any past posts here), and especially with all the questions we've been receiving lately, we thought it was definitely time for an update!
I guess one reason why I haven't really posted anything lately, is because what I really want to do, is to post good news! I want you guys to hear the good, the happy stuff. News that things are happening, that this process is moving along, and that it's getting closer to our kids coming home. I don't want to write about the harder stuff, the complications, the acne causing-sleepless nights-stressful stuff. But if you've been through an adoption process, or walked alongside someone going through this process, you know that's where we're living the majority of the time.
As a quick refresher, we've finished everything required of us, here on the US side of the adoption. All the fingerprints have been taken, the FBI checks have been completed, the interviews have taken place, the dotted lines have been signed, and everything is now in the hands of our Ugandan attorney on the other side of the world.
So, since you've last heard from us, we've been setting up a bedroom, taking our best guesses on our kids clothing sizes, watching airline prices, accumulating everyday essentials we'll need for an unknown length of stay in Uganda. We've been praying, wishing, waiting, hoping to hear something, anything that will get us closer to getting to our kids.
At the end of August, we heard something. We found out that in Uganda, the judges take an extended summer recess, and do not work.
We'd been anxiously waiting all this time, and the people who hold our adoption in hand are not even there to move things along. They officially reported back to their offices on September 1st. So starting again last Tuesday, we've been back on high alert, fingers crossed that maybe our paperwork was on the top of their stack of to-do's.
And then… Thursday we heard something!
We learned that a law was just passed in Uganda requiring each and every orphan before they are adopted out of country, now have to run a 21-day TV advertisement about themselves. This is kinda like a "Do you Know Me?" type thing; just as an additional way to see if any remaining in-country relatives emerge who are able to care for the child. From what we've heard, prior to this, the judges would just inconsistently pick & choose certain orphans to run a tv ad. We are completely on board with attempting to locate any of these kids' family members before we step into the picture. The only part that is discouraging to us, is that we were told already that at least for our son, that his investigation was 100% complete, that investigators had already done everything in their power to locate any relatives, and had not found any. He was ours to adopt. Now, with this new law, it trumps any previous investigations done, and will now be required for both kids to complete the 21-day ad before we will be assigned a court date.
As soon as we found out about this new situation, we sent over the TV ad fees as quickly as we could, so as to not hold up the process a moment longer than necessary….but, we have no idea how long it will take them to create the ad, if they will run our ad for 21 consecutive days, or if the ad will be run a couple days here–a couple days there, if they will run both of our children's ads during the same 21-day time period, or if they will air one at a time, or even what happens if a relative is located. Many things are up in the air, as they are with any adoption. The extra-tough thing, is that rules and laws in Uganda are very fluid; there's no set procedure or step-by-step list to follow…it's quite different from how an adoption would proceed in America or several other countries, and every family adopting from Uganda has a different story on how their family came together. Our process from this point forward is completely at the discretion of whatever judge or official is handling our case at the time, and whatever they feel that particular day. It feels like a complex web that we're weeding through, so thick that there's no way to honestly know if we're close or far from finding the end.
Our desire is to provide a family, a home, a loving positive environment for a couple kids who do not have that now; an opportunity to introduce Christ to some precious lives who may never otherwise be given that chance.
It definitely wears on the heart, to know the things our children have already experienced just in these few short years of life they've lived. It breaks my heart knowing what they're eating (and not eating), where they're sleeping…when we are here with more food than we really need, sleeping in a nice bed, living each day with many more things than we actually need; We constantly wonder how they're doing…especially because not only can we not do anything if they are sick, or they break an arm playing soccer, or get bit by a snake, we don't even get to know about it. We can't provide these kids with the things they need, much less things they want as we so desperately want to be able to do.
We are hoping and praying that it won't be too much longer, because we're already getting clothes, essential oils, toys, and check out these adorable backpacks Aunt Marti got for their airplane ride home:
Ps-they match the animals Aunt Lauren crocheted for them!
One thing we do know, and that we constantly remind ourselves of, is that God's got this. He knows everything that is ahead even when we can't see it. God's got this, and we will keep on trucking as He keeps leading!
