If you are looking for a creamy, delicious dairy-free alternative then you'll love this almond milk recipe. Almond milk is so versatile and so easy to make not to mention 100% good for you. You can substitute the almonds with any other nuts if you prefer. If you're allergic to nuts you can substitute with any seed of choice, like hemp or pumpkin. I always try to keep a large bottle of nut milk in the fridge handy. I use it for my fruit cereal, as a cold glass of "milk" to drink, and it also makes a great liquid base for smoothies. For the step by step video of making this milk click the link below.
Why buy almond milk in the store that contains chemicals, preservatives and added sugar. Homemade almond milk is fresh and filled with fiber, calcium and many essential minerals. Not to mention, tastes so much better than the ones in the store!
The preparation is so easy and it literally takes one minute to make. This is the kind of milk we should be giving our kids to drink. It has the perfect plant-based calcium they need for their growing bodies.
Makes 5 cups
1 cup of raw Almonds (soaked overnight in purified water, rinsed and drained)
4-5 medjool dates, pitted (more or less depending on how sweet you want it)
4 cups filtered water (less if you want it creamier)
1 Tablespoon pure Vanilla extract
Put the almonds, dates, vanilla and 2 cups of water in a blender and blend on high until it becomes creamy and thick. Then, slowly add the rest of the water and continue blending until smooth. If it's thick, strain it using a nut bag or strainer. (I usually drink it as is because I don't like to waste the fiber).
You can keep it in an air tight container for about 4 days.
Drink up! 🙂

If you've purchased Daily Gold in Canada, you may have been confused by the label. In order to get Daily Gold approved and registered in Canada, we had to put something on the label that the government approves. The only thing bentonite clay is approved for is as an anti-caking agent.
Don't worry, though. Daily Gold in Canada is the same great bentonite clay that has a number of benefits for your horse. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Seaton's excellent outdoor season ends with a quiz and superb fish and chip supper
PUBLISHED: 17:56 26 September 2018 | UPDATED: 17:56 26 September 2018
An excellent campaign for both the Seaton ladies' Over-50s and the men's Over-60s teams has now come to an end, writes Alan Nicholas.
In the LOFTL, Seaton Blue finished in third place in Division One and Seaton Red ended the season as runners-up in Division Two and so they will also grace the top flight next year.
Not to be outdone, the men's Over-60s Triples League teams enjoyed success.
The A team had something of a mixed season, but finished strongly to end in a mid-table berth in Division One. The B team, however, ended as runners-up in Division Three and so will step up to play in Division Two next year.
Well done, to all our teams on their efforts over the season.
The final week of the 2018 outdoor season began with a Sunday away match across the border at Charmouth.
This was a three triples match that went very much our way as Seaton took two of the three triples and won overall by 73 shots to 35.
Seaton's top triple was a very strong one of Mike Brown, Carol Armitage and Roger Woolland, who won 35-10.
The final match of the season was against Taunton Bowling Club and was played on our Seafield Gardens green, with the contest played as four rinks.
This was an extremely tight contest, with the rinks shared, but our visitors taking the match, by just one shot, scoring 72 against our 71.
Top rink for Seaton was again a very strong one of David Ford, Dennis Ridd, Lilian Hurley-Smith and Roger Woolland, scoring 26 shots to 12.
On Saturday, it was scheduled that a Fun Day of bowling would take place, followed by a fish and chip supper in the clubhouse.
However, the 'autumn weather gods' decided this could not happen. Torrential rain made our green totally unplayable, so quick thinking took over, and a quiz was arranged and played indoors.
This proved to work well and a good humoured afternoon, followed by a small fundraising internal auction, took place before the fish and chip suppers were served. At the end of a very successful day, thanks went out to all the members involved, especially quiz master Maria Johnson. And that, as they say – is that – 'here endeth another season'.

Zechariah 5
Read in the NKJV Join Discussion
Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.
2 And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
3 Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.
4 I will bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
5 Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.
6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth.
7 And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
8 And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.
10 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?
11 And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
See Previous Reading See Next Reading
Next, Zechariah saw a large scroll flying through the air. The angel said it was the curse going forth over the whole land. What is it that brings the curse? It is disobedience to God's law (see Deut. 27:26; 28:15; Isa. 24:5,6).
The Holy Spirit is at work, "convicting the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment." At the same time, He calls everyone to seek God and His salvation. God will have a people who keep His commandments. His New Covenant promise is that He will write His law upon the heart and mind of those who receive their Savior. From Psalm 50:1-6, we know that the Mighty One, the God who spoke His law at Mt. Sinai, will come in His majesty for judgment. "Let the heavens declare His righteousness," are the words.
How was it that Zerubbabel, Joshua, and the people gained the victory and accomplished what they did? Faith's victory comes as we go forward in obedience to God's word and trusting in His promises.

* C$ climbs to C$0.9790 vs US$, or $1.0215
* C$ touches two-week high against greenback
* Bond prices mixed
TORONTO, Sept 16 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar strengthened to touch its highest point against the greenback in two weeks on Friday, as investor appetite for risk stretched into a fourth day, helped by less pessimism over Europe.
Global equities rose but the euro slid as hope Europe was finally getting a grip on the region's debt crisis was offset by lingering fears that Greece is still at risk of default.
Gains in global equity markets suggested risk aversion has dissipated, but a sharp decline in French and Italian banking stocks, along with the euro's slide, indicated caution lingers despite encouraging efforts to resolve the debt crisis. [MKTS/GLOB]
"We're capping off a decent week of risk appetite. Dollar-Canada had been quietly rangebound despite the positive risk backdrop and I think we just saw a little late-week, late-afternoon follow through and strength in the Canadian dollar that was long overdue," said Matt Perrier, director of foreign exchange sales at BMO Capital Markets.
The Canadian dollar ended the North American
session at C$0.9790 to the U.S. dollar, or $1.0215 U.S. cents,
up from Thursday's North American finish at C$0.9840 to the
U.S. dollar, or $1.0163 U.S. cents.
The stronger close capped a week in which the Canadian currency weakened below parity against the U.S. dollar for the first time since Aug. 9 as fears over Europe's debt crisis shook markets, sending investors to the relative safety and liquidity of the U.S. dollar.
The stronger weekly close could bode well for more gains early next week, Perrier said.
"(We have) made a higher high and lower low and closed below the previous week's low. On a purely technical basis that would suggest we could see Canada strengthen further into the start of next week and this risk rally that we've seen over the last four days in equities continue," he said.
"Having said that, we've been trading from headline to headline, and it is not inconceivable that one headline could push us back into risk aversion mode."
The crisis in Europe has driven market sentiment in the last week, overshadowing any economic data.
A U.S. report showed consumer sentiment rose in early September, but Americans remained very gloomy about the future with their expectations for the economy falling to the lowest level since 1980. [ID:nS1E78F0HJ]
In Canada, a report showed foreigners bought a record amount of Canadian treasury bills in July as the U.S. debt ceiling negotiations and European sovereign debt crisis shook investor confidence. [ID:nS1E78F04I]
Analysts said this showed Canadian assets can benefit from safe-haven flows in uncertain markets, a factor which should help support the Canadian dollar over time.
Next week, Canadian inflation data to be released on Wednesday is expected to show a moderation in consumer prices in August, confirming a lack of inflationary pressure. [ID:nS1E78F12T]
Canadian bond prices were mixed.
The two-year bondwas off 8 Canadian cents to yield 1.064 percent, while the 10-year bond was up 3 Canadian cents to yield 2.292 percent. (Additional reporting by Claire Sibonney; Editing by Jeffrey Hodgson)

How to Keep Angle Trumpets Over Winter
A tropical plant well suited for the year-round warm climates of Southern California and Southern Florida, angel's trumpet (Brugmansia spp. or Datura spp.) is hardy only in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 10B through 11. It is, therefore, a common potted plant in other climatic zones. To ensure your potted angel's trumpet returns in full vigor with its beautiful trumpet-shaped blossoms, prepare and properly keep it over winter.
Stop fertilizing and reduce watering in late summer or early fall. At this time, water an angel's trumpet when the soil feels dry to the touch 2 or 3 inches deep. (In growing season, water to keep soil moist.)
Sterilize a pair of garden clippers with a household disinfectant, rubbing alcohol or a 10 percent bleach and water solution. Then, prune an angel's trumpet back so it stands 8 to 10 inches tall. Alternatively, you can wait to prune the plant when you bring it back out in spring.
Rinse the plant with your hose using a strong stream of water. Also, as recommended by University of Illinois, flush the soil with 2 or 3 gallons of water to wash away any insects before you bring it indoors.
Bring the angel's trumpet indoors to a dark location that is between 55 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The garage or basement might work well. Perform this task before the first frost in fall or early winter, ideally before nighttime temperatures dip below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. If you wait too long and a frost occurs, this tropical plant will suffer cold damage.
Water the angel's trumpet monthly, applying enough water that it drips out the drainage hole. Do not be alarmed that the plant appears dead. It is dormant and still alive. Once temperatures are consistently above freezing -- preferably 40 degrees Fahrenheit -- you can bring the angel's trumpet outdoors to care for it once again during the growing season.
Things Needed
- Household disinfectant, rubbing alcohol or bleach
- Garden clippers
- Garden hose
- All parts of this plant are toxic, so keep it away from young children and pets.
- You can also bring an angel's trumpet indoors to a sunny area or into a greenhouse, if desired. This works especially well in areas with short winters. Do not prune the plant before the move, and water it weekly during this time.

We've been expecting a costume revamp for Barry Allen since Season 1 episode 17 when a future version of The Flash showed up, sporting a white insignia on his chest reminiscent of The Flash of the original comics. Now it looks like Barry is shaping up to become a proper hero in Season 2.
Speaking at San Diego Comic-Con 2015, writer and producer Andrew Kreisberg said: "Last year was sort of really about getting the band together, in a way, and Barry, his first initial steps into being The Flash. This year it's really like, "OK. Great. We're doing it now." What does that mean?
"I think one of the biggest things that we're sort of tackling this year which is very different from any of the other shows we've done is [public perception] about The Flash. He's becoming a public figure. The notion that [these people] live in a universe where people have superpowers, and there are evil people with superpowers, and you could be walking down the street and somebody could melt the building in front of you is not outlandish anymore.
"By the same token, they all know that there's a savior out there who has powers to fight them back. So watching Barry deal with the fact that he's becoming a little bit famous and he's not just the mysterious red streak is something that gets dealt with a lot in newer episodes."
The Flash Season 2 premieres on 6 October on The CW in the US. A UK air date is yet to be confirmed by Sky 1. Get all the latest superhero news with every issue of SciFiNow.

Paris Air Show: Double blow for Airbus
European aviation giant Airbus has seen two of its flagship aircraft forced to withdraw from the Paris Air Show following a series of unfortunate events.
Firstly the new A400M military transport was forced to pull out following technical fault, with the A380 following earlier.
The A400M plane – nicknamed the Grizzly – was ruled out of the show with a technical fault after validating with a flypast on Friday.
The decision follows a gear problem on another aircraft in the test programme.
However, Domingo Urena, chief executive of Airbus Military, told waiting reporters the issue with the gearbox of the Europrop International TP400-D6 was not serious.
"We have problems with the gearbox, but the test aircraft keep flying," explained Urena.
"We have very demanding flight-test requirements at the moment."
The A400M made its maiden air show flying display at the ILA air show in Berlin a year ago and then performed at Farnborough in July.
Airbus A380
Earlier this morning, Airbus suffered a second misfortune, when the wing of a display A380 "touched" a structure the near the taxiway at Le Bourget Airport.
As a result the aircraft – which was scheduled to take part in the opening display this morning - will not now take part.
"During ground manoeuvres with the Airbus A380 flight test aircraft MSN 004, the aircraft's right hand wing-tip touched a structure ," Airbus said in a statement.
"Airbus experts are currently inspecting the aircraft, but it is already confirmed that the A380 MSN 004 will not perform the flying display at the Le Bourget Air Show 2011," it said.

Two earthquakes struck Hawke's Bay early this morning about five minutes apart and around the same location as a quake on Monday night near Havelock North.
GNS Science said the first quake, measuring 3.9, struck at 1:20am and was located 40 km east of Havelock North at a depth of 20 km.
The second quake measuring magnitude 3.8 struck at 1:26am and was located 30 km east of Havelock North at a depth of 30km, which is the same location as a magnitude 3.2 quake on Monday night.

Sales Teams for Hire!
We do something a little unique. One of the challenges for SMB's in developing a sales team is knowing and controlling the costs, commission plans, assessments, training and when or if the rep is going to make it. We can take a significant amount of the risk OUT. Here's how.
Upon review of your needs, we offer contract sales hiring and placement services. We recruit, interview and test candidates at no cost or risk. Upon agreement on a candidate, we will hire the candidate on a contract basis. We will pay, train and coach throughout the 90 days as agreed upon. You have the option to request a new candidate at any point in the first 90 days. After 90 days the candidate will convert as an employee to you at terms that you agree. A recruitment fee on first year's base salary will be invoiced upon hire. Sales assessments are required.
Our program nets out significantly lower than traditional recruitment fees. The real value is that you have a trained rep ready to go and by following our process and training, we will together know if the rep is going to make the cut much earlier than traditional on-boarding and training processes. We do not do recruiting separate from training. Our training determines the success along with conscious recruitment.
Please call or email me if this makes sense to you and we can discuss the total costs and value.

Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Baskerville, Thomas (d.1597)
BASKERVILLE, Sir THOMAS (d. 1597), general, was the son of Henry Baskerville, Esq., of the city of Hereford, and is described as of Good Rest, Warwickshire. He obtained a high reputation as a military commander. In the Harleian MSS. there is an account of his voyage after the great treasure at Porto Rico, when he was general of Queen Elizabeth's Indian armada. He was sent with Lord Willoughby to France to assist Henry IV in 1589. He was M.P. for Carmarthen borough in 1592. Subsequently he commanded the troops despatched to Brittany (1594) and Picardy (1596). He died of a fever at Picqueny, in Picardy, on 4 June 1597, and was buried in the new choir of St. Paul's, beneath a monument, consumed in the fire of London in 1666. He married Mary, daughter of Sir Thomas Throgmorton. He left a son, Hannibal [q. v.][Dugdale's Hist. of St. Paul's (ed. Ellis), 72; Life of Anthony à Wood (ed. Bliss), xxxiii, xxxiv; Harl.

Mosquito Populations Have Grown Since Hurricane Harvey
This week, state and county officials decided to expand aerial spraying to control mosquitoes in the Houston area. In some areas, large mosquito populations are hindering recovery efforts from Hurricane Harvey. Although spraying from trucks has occurred throughout the summer, the Air Force Reserve has been spraying for the past week in Aransas, Bee, Nueces, Refugio, and San Patricio counties. Tonight, that effort expands to Brazoria, Harris, Montgomery, and Liberty counties.
How Does Aerial Mosquito Spraying Work?
As planes fly over the area to be treated, insecticide is atomized into tiny droplets that are dispersed in the air. As the droplets fall to the ground they will kill any mosquitoes they make contact with. According to the Department of State Health Services, only 1-2 tablespoons of insecticide per acre is sprayed and the chemical quickly breaks down in water or sunlight.
The press release from the Texas Department of State Health Services specifically mentions how this spray could affect honey bee colonies.
Spraying is also done to minimize any effects on beneficial insects like bees. Applications will be done starting around dusk when mosquitoes are most active and after bees have returned to their hives for the night. The insecticides dissipate and break down quickly in the environment, and when bees emerge in daylight, they are not affected. Although this type of application will not cause a significant exposure for bees, beekeepers may choose to cover their colonies and prevent bees from exiting during treatment.
We regularly have mosquito trucks pass within 50 yards of our hives with no ill effects because the trucks spray at night when our bees are in the hive and are not active. We expect the same result from the aerial spraying.
We do not recommend covering or closing your hives.
August in Texas is still hot. At the time that I'm writing this, the temperature is still 80 degrees at 10 p.m. If you cover or close your hives, you risk harming your hives through suffocation of overheating more than exposure to insecticides. We can't predict how the spraying will affect everyone's individual hives, but we hope that your bees continue to survive the nighttime spraying. The planes spray at night when mosquitoes are active and bees are in their hives, so we are not covering or closing any of our hives and expect that the contact insecticide will not make contact with any or many of our bees.

December in Paris
Back in December, I was lucky enough to get the chance to pop down to Paris for a work related conference. Being the wonderful husband and father I am, I bought the family with me and we spent our off time exploring some of the bits we didn't get to see the last time we were there. During our time in Paris, the Champs Elysees had it's annual Christmas Market on, and it was absolutely freaking huge! I've never seen anything like it in my whole life – it was amazing! We had a great time perusing the stalls, eating all the yummy food and drinking WAAAAAY too much Mulled Wine.

>Congressman Rush Holt will join federal Medicare officials to host two town hall forums in central New Jersey. Please join him to share your thoughts, ideas, and concerns about the future of Medicare.

"Last month, the Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives passed, over my objections, a radical and far-reaching national budget for 2012. The proposed budget would end Medicare as we know it. Under this plan, if you are under 55 years of age, when you retire you would receive a voucher from the federal government and then fend for yourself on the private insurance market. The value of these vouchers is designed to shrink, relative to the cost of health care, each year – so seniors would be required to pay ever-growing out-of-pocket costs in order to maintain the same quality of health care.
Fortunately, the Senate has not voted on the Republican Medicare privatization plan, so there is still time to protect Medicare. I firmly believe that we need a national budget that strengthens our middle class, not weakens it, and I look forward to hearing your ideas at this week's forum on how we can best achieve that goal.

Wild Stamford shooting case still in courts a year later
STAMFORD — The bars were just letting out downtown after a summer Saturday night a year ago, with hundreds of 20- and 30-somethings swarming out into Columbus Park when a fight spilled out of Tino's Night Club.
Two dozen people came out of the now-shuttered nightclub and began fighting in the street, throwing bottles and trash cans and lots of fists, a cabbie who had been waiting for a fare there at the time later told police.
Seconds later, an armed security guard, Dayron Wills, who had just received his permit to carry a gun, pulled out his .40-caliber semi-automatic handgun and opened fire, police said.
By the time he emptied the gun's 10-shot clip, five people had been shot. One was nearly a football field's length away from Wills, walking in front of a doughnut shop at the corner of Atlantic and Main streets.
The scene was pandemonium, with people running everywhere for cover. Brooke Maghini, 20, of Bristol, and three friends were among them. The four were walking back to their car from McFadden's Restaurant and Saloon across the street when they saw the fight.
"We heard gunshots and we all started running to the car," Maghini said.
But she saw that two of her friends were missing. She looked back and saw her 18-year-old friend running toward them holding her breasts, where she had been shot. The 19-year-old man her girlfriend was walking with when the shots rang out seconds before was limping, trying to catch up after being shot in the right buttock.
"I was just in complete shock. I didn't know what to do, honestly. I knew to run in the opposite way from where the shooting was happening," she said.
Maghini said she has not been back to Stamford since. "I'm scared to go back," she said.
Wills was picked up by police within hours, and the gun, which he had ditched, was recovered. Given that no one was killed, Wills was initially charged with five counts of first-degree assault and single counts of unlawful discharge of a weapon, reckless endangerment and marijuana possession.
But almost two months later, the Stamford state's attorney's office added an attempted murder charge after studying a video taken of the shooting.
The video was recorded on a cellphone by a bystander who somehow managed to capture the scene without getting shot himself. It shows the shooter firing six or eight shots at a 21-year-old Stratford man, seemingly in an attempt to kill him, police Capt. Richard Conklin said at the time the charge was added. That man ended up with a gunshot wound to his left hip.
After his arrest, Wills admitted to firing his gun in what he said was self-defense after a man in the Tino's brawl punched him in the face, police said. Wills has been held at the Northern Correctional Institute in Somers on $1 million bond since then.
The case has been put on the trial list but no date has been set to put it before a jury.
Wills' defense attorney, Stephan Seeger, said that the 30-second video taken by a bystander showing Wills firing his weapon at a man right in front of him has created one of the most misunderstood cases in the courthouse. It does not prove anything, he said.
There is more to the story, he said, including the fact that Wills had been shot in the leg in a drive-by shooting a year earlier, which police confirmed. Seeger said the shooting left him crippled and as a result, when the fighters rushed out of Tino's and came toward him that night, Wills was virtually paralyzed. Wills told police that he was across the street talking to a girl and the next thing he knew a man punched him in the face.
Seeger said that Wills' past experience with guns colored his perception of what happened that night, and he was trying to protect himself. "A riot broke out right in front of him, you can ask anyone what happened. And he becomes a victim of circumstances. He had limited options to defend himself," Seeger said.
Wills variously told police that he blacked out or was firing in the air trying to get the man off of him. But the video clearly shows the shooter with his arm straight, holding the gun with its red laser site and firing at the Stratford man wearing a striped shirt. Some say they can see him turn his hand gangster style while pulling the trigger. For split seconds, the red laser coming out of the end of the gun can be seen dancing on the man's shirt.
Whatever plea deal offers the prosecutor may have made to dispose of the case have been in the higher range of the time he could get in prison if he were found guilty at trial, Seeger said.
"He has decades of imprisonment staring him in the face, especially with the attempted murder charge," Seeger said.
Senior Assistant State's Attorney Joseph Valdes said he had to be circumspect when talking about the case and would not discuss the reasons for leveling the attempted murder charge on Wills or what offers the state has made in the case.
Valdes would only say that there was a strong possibility that the case could come up for trial this fall or winter.
"The case is still being discussed amongst the attorney, myself and the judge. It has not been forgotten," Valdes said. "There are a lot of other cases scheduled ahead of it."

Design Ideas for Tiling a Small Bathroom
By their very design, bathrooms tend to be small rooms often crowded with task-oriented furniture. Tiles are an appropriate surface finish for such a high-traffic, high-moisture environment, but they are also a semipermanent finish. They aren't like linoleum or wall color that can be changed on a whim. Arm yourself with some design ideas for tile in a small bathroom, and choose one that works for you and your family.
The Contrast Guideline
If you want your small room to feel more spacious, minimize contrasts. Tiles, walls and fixtures the same color will blur the outlines of the room and make it appear larger. Use texture in the accessories for added interest; keep the interest in the room rather than on the floor or the walls. A small room with a dark floor, walls and fixtures can appear larger than the same room whose walls are painted one color, the floor another color and fixtures yet another color. It is not the color that makes a room feel small; rather, contrasting colors cause the eye to stop and start, making an area feel less spacious.
Set the Direction
Floor tiles set in a diagonal pattern make a space feel wider. Use this trick of the eye, in conjunction with the lack-of-contrast guideline, to trick the eye into thinking the small bathroom is larger than it is, overall. From the point of view of someone standing in the doorway to the room, to make the room appear wider, from left to right, use rectangular tiles in a pattern running from side to side across the room, parallel to the door. To visually lengthen the room -- that is, to make it appear longer from the door to the far wall -- rotate the horizontal tiles 90 degrees and set them in a pattern running lengthwise away from the door.
Establish a Theme
Every room needs a theme. It sets the design tone of the room and dictates the colors, accessories and mood. Accent tiles in a small bathroom can do all of this. A row of tiles around the perimeter of the room depicting the theme sets the mood and color scheme. For example, a row of tiles painted with seashells says beach or seashore. They say casual decor, demand natural colors and suggest nubby-textured towels, rope trim and whitewashed walls. Choose a smaller-scale design in keeping with the size of the room, whether the tiles are on the floor or the walls. Remember, though, that accent tiles can make a room feel smaller and will lock you into a theme or color scheme until you replace the tiles.
Wraparound Floor
Visually expand the floor space of the small bathroom by continuing the floor tiles up the walls to the height of a chair rail. Use the lack-of-contrast rule and keep the tile and wall colors close; forgo accent tiles and thereby blur the visual lines between floor and walls. For additional impact, continue the tiles to the ceiling in the tub surround or the shower area.

Conflict management and negotiation arithmetic: Adding issues, adding parties
Schwebach, Valerie Lyn
Morgan, T. Clifton
Doctor of Philosophy
The addition of new issues and parties to negotiations is often recommended as a means of conflict management at the international level. Such addition (or "negotiation arithmetic") contains an element of strategic interaction that is often ignored in the prescriptive work on conflict management. Though disputants in an international crisis may be seeking to avoid war, they are also trying to protect important national interests. For that reason, each disputant has an incentive to choose only those options that make her better off. Since what makes one disputant better off may make the other disputant worse off, conflict management is necessarily a matter of strategic choice. A game-theoretic analysis of disputants' incentives to pursue the conflict management options of issue linkage and mediation demonstrates that these strategies are complementary. The conditions that preclude the pursuit of one strategy encourage the pursuit of the other. Empirical tests of the resulting hypotheses indicate that the more likely a dispute dyad is to pursue mediation, the less likely it is to pursue issue linkage.

This series "Decadence" is the latest series by Tyler Shields. Set in the court of Marie Antoinette, the series was shot in the summer of 2015 and was shot using a 50 year old 8 by 10 camera as well as various Hasselblad cameras. After their marriage, Louis XVI entrusted Marie with the task of entertaining the court. Decadence is set in Tuileries Palace in 1667 and The Palace of Versailles 1672. I wanted to give my version of an inside look into what I imagine it would be like if you were able to take a photograph of The Court of The Palace of Versailles and Tuileries Palace an intimate look inside one of the most fascinating times in history.

It took me a while, but this weekend I finally made the Parisian style macarons I'd vowed to try after tasting some at Bouchon Bakery. The fact Todd had fallen in love with them was a key motivator, and I figured Father's Day would be a good excuse to try making one of his new favorite cookies.
Not to be confused with the usual chewy coconut macaroons, the type to which I'm referring are classified as "Gerbet Macarons" (also spelled "macaroons") or "Parisian Macarons" and made with egg whites, sugar and a mixture of almond flour and powdered sugar that's been pressed through a sieve. The ingredients are very simple, but it's the prep work and technique that kept me from trying my hand at this sooner.
First, you have to decide whether to spend $12 on almond flour or grind your own in the coffee grinder. I opted for the latter, which worked perfectly even though I'd worried the grind wouldn't be fine enough. Next, you need to have a half inch piping tip. The last time I was at the craft store, they were out and I now have every size tip but 1/2 inch. I decided to just skip the tip. And finally, you have to commit to making a true, buttercream — another recipe that's always been intimidating for me. Sure, you can use ganache or lemon curd, but in the few years that I've been eating macarons, the buttercream is the best part and I wasn't sure I'd be able to duplicate the ultra-smooth, not-too-sweet type found in macarons made at bakeries like Bouchon, whose macarons might be the best outside of Paris.
So back to the ones from our kitchen. Using Joanne Chang's recipe and macaron-making tutorial on Fine Cooking, I made a batch that was similar in texture (though I haven't quite nailed down the flavors….that's step 2) to Bouchon's. Though they weren't perfect. I made the first batch too fat. The second batch, to which I'd added a little raspberry extract and red gel paste, ran a little and baked as ovals (not pictured), and I felt like the macaron base could have used a tiny pinch of salt and some flavoring. I did add a little vanilla. Still, for a simple Macaron Making 101 tutorial, this recipe was perfect. Even the buttercream came together with ease, and I've thrown out my share of bad batches of buttercream. I think the credit goes to Joanne Chang and Fine Cooking for explaining how to make it in a simple and straightforward fashion.
If you've been thinking about making your own macarons but just haven't felt ready to roll up your sleeves and do it, I recommend this recipe as a primer.

I had originally planned to make some stupid video with Kim Jong-Il and these hampsters, but then I found Keenan Cahill doing his lip-sync dance to it and it spawned this.
It's only 20 seconds or so but I think it's a pretty hilarious mashup. Hopefully you'll agree.
Note: after clicking on the video you might have to wait a few seconds for it to start.

Dental Implants
When it comes to tooth replacement, the most comprehensive method is a dental implant. This solution addresses the loss of the tooth root as well the visible top portion.
If you're looking for a permanent solution to replace missing teeth, contact our office and schedule your consultation right away.
Whether you seek a single-tooth replacement or full-mouth reconstruction, there is an implant-supported restoration that can meet your needs.
Implant-Supported Crowns – We use a single implant post to replace individual teeth. Replacing one lost tooth with a dental implant will result in a prosthetic that feels no different than your natural teeth.
Implant-Supported Bridges – To replace a row of missing teeth, a prosthetic bridge is secured over two implant posts.
Implant Supported Dentures – When most or all teeth are missing, dentures that are supported with at least four implant posts per arch provide unmatched stability and function, as well as a more natural looking smile.
When many teeth are missing for an extended period, resorption can cause the pointed chin and sunken mouth commonly associated with long-time traditional denture wearers. Implants can prevent rapid bone loss (resorption) that causes these facial changes.
The implant post provides the necessary stimulation previously provided by your original tooth root. This stimuli prevents resorption and contributes to new bone growth.
At Goldenberg Family Dentistry, we can assess your eligibility to receive dental implants, which is a simple surgical procedure. If you need bone grafting, our practice can help with that too.
Call our Ventura office today to learn more about how dental implants can improve your oral health and enhance your smile.
I have been a client of Doctor Joel Goldenberg and Doctor Jessica Goldenberg for years. They only treat what is necessary for the kindest way possible. It is obvious that they both care for their patients and their craft. They even attend and host charity events for those who can not afford treatment! I look forward to a lifelong relationship with the Goldenberg family.
Kerry H.
I have gone to Dr.Joel Goldenberg for almost 20 years. I used to hate going to the dentist, but not anymore. The staff is amazing, friendly and professional. The moment you walk in you are greeted by Arlene or Rosie with amazing smiles and friendly hellos. My hygienist, Sara, is the best and Dr. Goldenberg making sure my teeth are properly repaired and tended too I feel I am in great hands. I would not go anywhere else.
Dr. Jessica Goldenberg is amazing! I went in for a visit last week and she made my comfort her priority. The staff are amazing and provide great service. I highly recommend this office for all of your dental needs!
Tashina Y.
I had the best experience at Goldenberg Dentistry! Their offices are clean and so relaxing it felt like being in a spa, not a dentist's office! The staff was friendly, welcoming and Dr. Jessica was a true professional! I highly recommend Goldenberg DDS! They will be our family dentist from now on!
Ashten G.
I can't believe how easy and painless getting my dental implants were. I went shopping immediately after my appointment. I just love Dr. Goldenberg and his staff.
My fear of dentists is now a thing of the past. Both Joel & Jessica are true masters of their craft.
Invisalign changed my smile. It straightened my teeth and gave me more confidence. I now have the smile I always dreamed of!
I found Dr. Goldenberg's office to be professional and caring. I love the Digital X-rays and Photography. Seeing is believing...I can see my old fillings and cavities.
I was pleasantly surprised at how painless and easy my implant placement was!
I am so happy with my son's smile after using the Occlus-o-Guide. His overbite and overlapped teeth were corrected in less than a year, and at less than half the cost of regular braces. His teeth were straightened at age 12, so he won't need braces as a teenager.

Like us on Facebook- St. Andrew's Camp
There are many good ways for kids to spend the summer, but for Orthodox kids, having the opportunity to spend good times with other Orthodox kids is not a common opportunity. St. Andrew's Camp is a place for children and teens to become better connected to God as children of God through faith fellowship and worship. It strives to be a place where children and teens learn Christian skills for navigating life in a diverse, safe, healthy nature based and spiritual environment.
In its 60 years of existence, the camp has provided spiritual nourishment and nurturing for over 3000 Orthodox Christians. The camp exists to provide a venue and environment in which children can be children ( with all that that implies) and, as well, grow to realize their true vocation as children of God. The camp enables this development through religious instruction, liturgical worship and fellowship with others in an environment that celebrates God's natural creation.
Encourage your children, grandchildren to spend at least one week at camp. Come yourself to volunteer before or after camp or even during the camping program. There is a natural daily rhythm of life that repeats itself weekly to encourage reflection, to encourage decompressing and to foster interpersonal relationships with kids, adults, priests, the Archbishop and God.
This year we will celebrate 60 years of providing a children's camping program as well as serving as a host to retreats, family gatherings, seminars, meetings and general fellowship, We invite you to join us on the weekend of Sept 23 and 24th for the festivities. See our web page for more details.
This milestone has made us once again reflect on what has been accomplished but more importantly what needs to be done. We are looking forward to better our facilities with a new dining facility, more cabins and waterfront improvements and expansion. We also hope to add Family Camp and Senior Camp to our offerings. There are other weekend offerings being developed and we encourage you to check the website, visit us at our anniversary or visit the camp to learn more. The camp is rented to several groups, for seminars and family events as well as other camp activities, for a week or weekend outside of the camping season. Check it for your next gathering!
Of course all of this has been supported with generous donations from many parishes and individuals.
We will continue to need that support in the years to come to complete this vision. Please consider a meaningful donation for this work, or offer you talents to support this ministry. And Come Visit!!!

Forget about being listed in the yellow pages or white pages etc you are wasting your money!

Over 2,100 watermains break each and every day, costing billions in emergency repairs and wasted water and electricity. Watermain breaks cause sinkholes, close schools and businesses and force thousands to boil their tap water. Current technologies do not economically provide pipe condition information of the scale, scope and quality needed for proactive asset management. With over a million km of mains are near or past their original design lives, utilities can no longer afford this information gap.
Iconac's Tonal Pipe AssessmentTM (TPA) technology simplifies watermain inspection. TPA uses low-frequency sound to assess wall thickness, stiffness, leak location, tuberculation, and remaining service life without any service disruption or excavation.
TPA's AI driven analysis engine properly implements higher order physical effects not captured by commonly used water-hammer, inverse transient and time-of-flight techniques. This enables inspection of both flexible and rigid pipes of all standard distribution main sizes with consistent accuracy from site to site including identifying localized areas of concern within pipe segments as short as 15 meters.
With sensors much more sensitive than traditional correlators, loggers and listening sticks, TPA uncovers leaks too small to be picked-up by standard systems. Unlike many existing systems, TPA will be capable of generating results in near-real time. TPA's design philosophy is a unit compact and simple enough to be used by existing leak detection teams with minimal training.

The Murder of Mr. Grebell : Madness and Civility in an English Town EPUB
by Monod Paul Kleber Monod
On a winter night in 1743, a local magistrate was stabbed to death in the churchyard of Rye by an angry butcher. Why did this gruesome crime happen? What does it reveal about the political, economic, and cultural patterns that existed in this small English port town?
To answer these questions, this fascinating book takes us back to the mid-sixteenth century, when religious and social tensions began to fragment the quiet town of Rye and led to witch hunts, riots, and violent political confrontations. Paul Monod examines events over the course of the next two centuries, tracing the town's transition as it moved from narrowly focused Reformation norms to the more expansive ideas of the emerging commercial society. In the process, relations among the town's inhabitants were fundamentally altered. The history of Rye mirrored that of the whole nation, and it gives us an intriguing new perspective on England in the early modern period.

I mention the Crazy Train often in some of my posts. I want to talk for a moment about exactly what the Crazy Train is.
The Crazy Train is a transparent, narcissistic, lying piece of turd sociopath that is charming and funny, yet causes so much drama and intrigue that you just can't resist hopping on their train, just to see where they will take you.
One of my friends told me that she loves to ride the Crazy Train, but she always gets off before it becomes a train wreck.
I am not a good passenger on the Crazy Train because I always like to make that personal connection. I also ask way too many questions and tend to analyze the destinations and poll the other passengers on a regular basis. Sometimes I make it all the way to the train wreck, but sometimes I get thrown from the train while it's still moving.
The Crazy Train doesn't like unruly travelers that want to open the shades to verify what they're telling the rest of us. When we are really riding through a barren desert and not an exotic paradise like they're busy announcing over the intercom, then I think everybody should know that, so they don't get disappointed when the liar's pants catch fire from the heat.
One of my friends asked me to work on the Crazy Train one weekend.
I told another friend about the situation and she told me to definitely go. I did not want to do that. She encouraged me to give it a try. "If the Narc tries to start anything with you, just smile at her and say "Not today." That's all you have to say and then just walk away. You can do that!"
She told me that if it had been her in my place, she would have loved working with the Bully. She said she would have smiled real large at her and had a great time because that would have pissed the Bully off even more. She would have enjoyed the whole process.
That's called Riding the Crazy Train.
Some people are really good at it. They know when to hop on for the most fun, and they know when to hop off, right before it derails.
There's nothing wrong with riding the Crazy Train, as long as you are secure enough with yourself to ride it without any expectations of arriving on time. Make sure to bring some luggage you don't mind losing and pack light because you never want to bring anything valuable with you on this trip. It will get stolen and possibly used against you at a later date.
Never step on the third rail when disembarking because that's where the juice is most deadly, especially if they've been paying their electric bills on time. Keep your ticket in a safe place. You never want to get stuck on the Crazy Train with no way to get back home again.
So the next time I talk about the Crazy Train, you'll know exactly what I mean.
All Aboard!
You can find this and many other entries about living with and recovering from narcissistic abuse in my book, Life After the Narcissist written by Katy Shultz. Available on Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble.com and all fine retailers.

Meet the Fallout 3 devs - Ricardo Gonzalez
Ricardo E. Gonzalez is a programmer Bethesda Softworks and is in charge of coding the user interface. On Bethesda Game Studios Forums he uses the nickname "Socrates200X".
The following are some of Ricardo's posts from the Meet the Devs threads on Bethesda forums:
"As a UI coder, I live in that murky middle-ground that somehow connects the player to various parts of the engine at any given moment. Because of this need to interconnect with everything, there are a slew of special cases that muck up my otherwise perfect code. ( "Make sure Menu X does Y here. Except when the player is jumping, then do this. Or if the player is just entering a door but before Menu Z has loaded, do this, unless the door is locked, is which case...etc." ) Also, small things that most people take for granted, like the amount of pixels between letters and the natural motion of a scrollbar, take on exaggerated importance, often putting me at a disadvantage when comparing battle scars with my workmates. ("Man, I just spent a week debugging AI timing bugs." "That's nothing! I just spent 10 hours straight on button highlights!" "Oh...well...that's rough, I guess?" )"
"I'm kept far, far away from the gameplay code, so no worries"
"I personally haven't found a good example of a game that's able to support multiple viewpoints without making things overly complex or overly simplified"
"I'm replaying FO1 as we speak"
"If we have any motivation going into FO3 ( other than making a game worthy of the originals ), it's correcting our mistakes."
"My Internet went out the other day. For 3 whole hours. Near the end, I was more animal than man."
"Man, I haven't gotten this many "I love you"s since I switched from chloroform to Rohypnol..."
"Cookie Day FTW!"
"Todd's tenacious like a mudcrab"
"Fallout was as good as I remember, although I forgot how much "swish-swish-swish-swish-hit!-swish-swish" combat entailed. I need to tag Small Guns or something.."
"Most of our tough game design decisions are decided using our handy-dandy Jump to Conclusionsâ"¢ mat."
"Speak for yourself. My character's flippin' awesome! He's all like, "Whoa!" and, "Wha-cha!", and the monsters are all, "Oh, noes!""
"The 50,000th person to say "Oblivion with guns" will receive a Collector's Edition copy of Oblivion with Gunsâ"¢, complete with a strategy guide and a replica of a Daedric SMG. Everyone else will receive Fallout 3."
"In order to get the true Fallout feel, we're only allowed to code using hardware we build ourselves from junkyard parts. My "debugger" is a jury-rigged soldering iron made of a rusted bicycle spoke and a Bic lighter."
"Why doesn't Bethesda crack down on the flames here, so that this forum is a more enjoyable place to discuss? pV = nRT. It's the law!"
"Last night, after surfing the web until around 3, I had my first ( and probably not my last ) dream in which reading the Fallout forums was a semi-major dream plot device. Disturbing and true!"
"I've always wanted to fall from a great height, land with a large THUD!, get up unscathed, brush myself off, say, "Some weather we're having, huh?" to any bystanders, and be on my way."
"Squeal "Tickle Monster! Gitchy-gitchy-goo!" as I proceed to give the mutie the tickling of his life. (Note: My Luck is Heroic.)"
"I hear that if you post a postive review of Oblivion on a gaming site, Marketing comes to you in your sleep. It's how they recruit new members."
"The whole "sleeping-with-one-lady-forever" bit was a tough pill to swallow. Not that they were beating down my door to begin with... Overcome? Math helped. When I work out the probability of finding someone else with the same awesomeness quotient (AQ) and ability to put up with me, it rapidly approaches 0. Of course, I phrased it a little more romantically on V-Day, but the sentiment's the same."
"What do I think of the nuclear catapult idea? I have the same concerns most do about it being an uber-weapon, but I'm fairly sure the designers won't be decorating the wastes with nuke ammo or keeping the rad count dialed down to debug levels. I definitely want my character to turn to ash within a certain distance, and catch a baaad case of radiation poisoning at anything farther. Concerning its lack of "realism", I play the fiction card. Concerning its lack of "verisimilitude", I think it fits just fine, although that opinion comes from the personal benefit of seeing it in context as opposed to in a screenshot."
"I can't tell the number of funks I've been brought out of at the eating of a chocolate chip cookie, or the anticipation of such an event. In the interest of productivity, every office should a Cookie Day."
(Nintendo and Star Trek geek, with a habit of doing Bill-and-Ted-esque air-guitar and drum solos. Likes the works of Josh Whedon, Would like to learn to cook a good meatloaf, and have trouble with being on time, getting something right the first time and public speaking. Have a cat named #7883, or Seven for short. Getting married to his missus, Beth, August 5, 2007!!)
Desk: From left to right: Books ( The Onion's Finest News Reporting, Knuth Art of Computer Programming Vol. 4 are examples ), V-Day cards from the missus, Lego model of Slave I, Dell box, Nerf USB missile launcher, crossword puzzles book, monitor, clock / pen holder, whiteboard, autographed pictures of Q, me, and Vault Boy. Hm, pretty sparse, I guess. For wallpaper, a doctored Animal Crossing screenshot with Tom Nook saying, "Where's my money, man?! Is Tom Nook going to have to slap a b*tch?"
Socrates200X: I think you're underselling Fizzbang's terrifying raider ensemble. Key pieces not highlighted by the photos are his tetanus-inducing workman's gloves with rusty nails and screws affixed to the back and his gas mask codpiece. Trust me, if you haven't stood next to a 6'2" game designer with spiked fists and a gas mask codpiece before, you haven't been properly terrified.
(on his casting in the fictitious Bethesda: The Movie): - When asked that question, I often tell the ladies that it's because I'm the man of their dreams, but according to said ladies, this is rarely, if ever, the case. I've also gotten Jeff Goldblum on occasion. Hopefully, people mean before he turned into The Fly. - I'll be the disbelieving scientist-type who, upon hearing the Hero explain the Villain's big plans, whips off his glasses dramatically and says, "My God..."

It's cute and furry and somewhere in aisle three. Shoppers captured vision on their Smartphones of a bear cub having a wander through a Rite-Aid store in Ashland, Oregon.
The little bear was eventually caught by police who handed it to wildlife officials to look after.
Officials say they hope to release the bear next spring somewhere in southern Oregon reports AP.
