We did what was called "the superman", where two of us hung off the side of the boat, and one in the middle during one of the hardest rapids. We rafted on the Ocoee River and the rapids were level 4 (out of a possible 5). That's me in the purple shorts holding on for dear life. I had to hold my nose because right before this picture I ATE a ton of water, and I'm pretty sure it got in my brain. SO as annoyed as I am that I'm holding my nose in almost every photo...I just had to! ;)
Right after this we passed a giant rock in the middle of the river and I see MY HUSBAND holding onto it! I literally freaked out. He accidentally fell out of the boat during a rough spot and another boat had to pick him up. Luckily he listened to the instructions of the guide just in case anyone DID fall out so he handled it like a champ and walked away with only a couple small bruises. Still, it was both hilarious and terrifying. Glad he's strong!! ;)
My brother wore a GoPro on his helmet (he's the one in green) and got some SWEET video footage, too!
& I love this shot of Caleb (he's in the front) on the boat!
We were on the river for over an hour. Our guide intentionally flipped the boat a few times, threw us out, backflipped off the back of the boat, etc... its one of my new favorite memories ever! I'm so glad Caleb and I got to experience it together, even if we were on separate boats. There was a rapid called "Broken Nose" that our guide made us sit in for about 5 minutes while the water just poured over the whole boat. It was amazing, ha!
BEFORE rafting though, we had a little time to play around in the river.
We stopped for a quick dinner on the road then cleaned up for that evenings session, which was amazing, as usual.
Then we went back and finished off the pizza rolls. SO many pizza rolls.
I can't explain what these kids taught me this week. Funny that I'm one of the "leaders", yet they taught ME so much. I laughed, I cried, and worshipped my heart out. God is doing some amazing things with this younger generation, and I can't wait to see what their futures hold!!
All in all? The week was incredible and I pray that we can make it back next year. I think Caleb and I realized just HOW important youth ministry is to us during this trip. Caleb has always felt lead to teach high school age kids, whether that's in a public school or church setting. It's so fun watching him lead them, it makes me a really proud wife.
Happy Tuesday, friends!

Although unlike other standard archive formats such as .tar.gz, .rar, .zip, etc the data inside an ISO disk image is not compressed thus we can make an ISO image out of any CD/DVD or even Blu-Ray disk by using a disc authorizing software on-the-fly, without having to wait till the data get compressed.
It has many benefits such as, say that you have a disk that's filled with thousands of image files and you want to copy that disk to your HDD to be burned to another disk at later times. If you however follow the usual copy-paste method in this instance, it should take some considerable amount of time to copy the whole disk content because the OS has to carefully copy and paste hundreds or thousands of individual files into your HDD, one by one.
However, if you went with the "create an ISO image" using your burning software, then it'll only take extremely less amount of time which is somewhat closer to copying a single file that's equal to the size of the CD/DVD's data that you're trying to copy!.
Another benefit of an ISO disk image is its ability to mount itself as a "virtual disk drive". It's just like burning an ISO disk to a CD/DVD and then after the burning process is over, when you open the disk, you no longer see a single ISO file but the true content of ISO file itself.
Anyhow, if all you need is to mount the ISO file just so you could access its content with your file manager (without the use of any archive manager whatsoever) just like with accessing a partition, etc... in Ubuntu, then there's a small yet extremely useful tool called "Gmount-iso".
This is actually GTK written GUI aimed at the Gnome desktop but you can use it in the latest Unity desktop + many others without any problems whatsoever as well.
|After mounted, you can browse/open the ISO image just like a normal CD/DVD drive, using the file manager...
*. Extremely simple GUI.
*. Mount/Unmount ISO images.
*. Manually assign the mount location.
*. Mount more than one image.
Yep... that's about it. You can install Gmount-iso in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal, 10.10 and 10.04 (perhaps in the latter version too) by entering the below command in your terminal window.
sudo apt-get install gmountisoI don't think anyone needs a guide on how to use it :). But if you're having troubles, just throw in some comments!.

In March, it was reported that a Lithuanianman had been charged over an email phishing attack against "two US-based internet companies" that were not named at the time.
They had allegedly been tricked into wiring more than $100m to the alleged scammer's bank accounts.On 27 April, Fortune reported that the two victims were Facebook and Google.
The man accused of being behind the scam, Evaldas Rimasauskas, 48, allegedly posed as an Asia-based manufacturer and deceived the companies from at least 2013 until 2015."Fraudulent phishing emails were sent to employees and agents of the victim companies, which regularly conducted multimillion-dollar transactions with [the Asian] company," the US Department of Justice (DOJ) said in March.
These emails purported to be from employees of the Asia-based firm, the DOJ alleged, and were sent from email accounts designed to look like they had come from the company, but in fact had not.The DOJ also accused Mr Rimasauskas offorging invoices, contracts and letters"that falsely appeared to have been executed and signed by executives and agents of the victim companies"."We detected this fraud against our vendor management team and promptly alerted the authorities," a spokeswoman for Google said in a statement."We recouped the funds and we're pleased this matter is resolved.
"However, the firm did not reveal how much money it had transferred and recouped. Nor did Facebook, but a spokeswoman said: "Facebook recovered the bulk of the funds shortly after the incident and has been cooperating with law enforcement in its investigation."

A Blog of Dialogue?October 21, 2006
OK, I just found this blog, which may have some real potential. It appears to be run by two guys: one atheist and one theist. If you're interested in observing how and what an atheist thinks of theism, check it out. BUT PLEASE (!!!!!), I BEG OF YOU (!!!!!): IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT,or IF YOUR INTEREST IS MERELY TO ARROGANTLY SPOUT OFF YOUR BELIEF WITH NO ARGUMENT, PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THE ATHEISTS! You will do more harm than good. Gosh, I know that sounds bad, but I could not be more sincere. I've seen it on too many blogs: Christians (even some who mean well) show up and "engage" the atheist. But it doesn't take long to see that the Christian is way out of his/her league in such debates as the existence of God. If you think there's even a chance that you aren't very familiar with the arguments being discussed (e.g., ontological, teleological, moral, etc), please content yourself to read and learn, for now (which is how we all start).
At any rate, the blog appears to worth a visit. Enjoy!

The second chapter is dictated by the divine father who is represented by Hadit. Hadit is, in the Qabalistic Tree of Life, connected with Chockmah, the supernal Father, the divine Masculine. This Sephiroth is assigned the Hebrew God-Name which we call the Tetragrammaton.
It is the personal name of God written hvhy. This is the father figure and to a certain respect represents the balance of himself and his bride. The two together create the top of the triad of which almost all religions understand as part of the divine.
The third and last chapter is dictated by Ra-Hoor-Kuit or Horus the Younger. The avenger God of Egypt who is assigned to the sphere of the child, the Sephiroth Tiphareth. Of the various names assigned to this sphere perhaps the most important to our purposes is Yeheshua This is the same name which some later associated with the Messiah. It is the child of the supernal mother and father.
During the essay certain quotes will be attributed to one God or another. It is because of this dictation by these three Egyptian manifestations of the divine that such references are made.

I had a fun discussion in comments recently, which reminded me of this earlier post.
Someone smart told me a while back that when commenting on someone's blog, it's polite to let the blog owner have the last word. When the blog owner in question responds to a logical argument with "You're wrong", they make it very easy for me to be polite 🙂
To help with that discussion I read a couple of very interesting articles, learned some new things, and (hopefully) became just a little smarter. I sincerely hope my opponent did too.
(I am not going to link to the discussion in question. It's on a blog that I read every day, I have a lot of respect for the blogger in question, agree with most of what he stands for and this minor argument has not changed that).

Everything you need to know about the VCU Rams as they begin the NCAA tournament.
As part of its preview of the 2016 NCAA men's basketball tournament, SI.com is taking a look at all 68 teams in the field. RPI and SOS data from realtimerpi.com. Adjusted offense and defense statistics are from kenpom.com and measure the number of points scored and allowed per 100 possessions, and the team's national rank. All other advanced stats are also from kenpom.com (unless noted otherwise), and are through March 14.
Record: 24–10 (14–4 Atlantic 10)
Adjusted offensive/defensive efficiency: 108.8 (82nd)/95.0 (22nd)
Seed: West No. 10
Impact player: Melvin Johnson, senior, guard. 17.4 ppg, 2.6 rpg, 2.2 apg
• MORE: Make your picks in SI's Bracket Challenge
The Case For: Virginia Commonwealth boasts one of the most disruptive defenses in the country. The Rams enter the NCAA tournament with the 22nd-most efficient defense, per kenpom.com, and they set themselves apart in the turnover department. Coach Will Wade's group forced 9.5 turnovers a game this season; no other team in the Atlantic 10 averaged more than 6.9. That's how VCU ranks fourth in the country in steal percentage defense (12.4) and 14th in turnover percentage defense (21.9). Keep an eye on junior forward Mo Alie-Cox, an All A-10 Defensive Team selection who averages nearly two blocks per game.
In searching for a seasoned 10-seed, one would be wise to consider VCU. The program turned its sixth straight appearance in a conference tournament title game into a sixth consecutive NCAA tournament berth. The Rams know how to win, and they do so with four players averaging double figures. That quartet includes Johnson, a first-team All A-10 honoree, and senior guard Korey Billbury, who averaged 16.0 points in three conference tournament games.
The Case Against: The Rams have failed to perform against top-tier competition this season. They finished 4–8 against teams ranked in kenpom.com's top 100, including losses to top-50 squads like Cincinnati, Duke and Wisconsin in non-conference play. VCU's most recent performance won't instill much confidence, either. After beating Saint Joseph's during the regular season, the program fell to the Hawks in the A-10 tournament title game, 87–74. In that game Wade's roster allowed Saint Joseph's to shoot 65% from the floor.
This will also be VCU's first recent trip to the NCAA tournament without Shaka Smart. The longtime Rams' coach took his bracket-busting ways to Texas after last season, paving the way for Wade to arrive from Chattanooga. Wade has the necessary pedigree, having served as an assistant under Smart at VCU from 2009–13. But he has never led a team to the NCAAs as a head coach. Does that make the Rams less viable as an upset pick?
SI Prediction: Beat Oregon State in the first round; lose to Oklahoma in the second round

In the past, launching a company and shipping a product was something that could only be done by those who had money, or those who could attract investment from venture capitalists. But things are changing. The advent of crowdfunding platforms -- internet-based marketplaces that connect those seeking funds with hundreds if not thousands of supporters -- has been greeted with enthusiasm by entrepreneurs, policymakers, and the general public alike. Their enthusiasm is understandable: today, normal people can invest in ideas that they think might gain broad appeal. But crowdfunding remains an emerging and evolving phenomenon that is not well understood. Far from a fad, this mega trend is here to stay -- and has broad implications across many industries.
Financing by and for the Masses: An Introduction to the Special Issue on Crowdfunding FEATURED
This introduction to the special issue on crowdfunding begins by providing some information about the history and nature of the phenomenon. It then summarizes some of the key advantages and disadvantages of crowdfunding for entrepreneurs and for investors. (more)
What Problems Does Crowdfunding Solve?
It is common to classify crowdfunding by the incentives provided to backers for their support. But an alternative system of classification examines the types of problems that different platforms can solve. (more)
Crowdfunding in Europe: Determinants of Platform Creation Across Countries
Europe is an interesting context to study the evolution of the crowdfunding industry because of its heterogeneity. Country-level characteristics like population and national entrepreneurial rates vary widely, and influence the development of crowdfunding platforms. (more)
Democratizing Innovation and Capital Access: The Role of Crowdfunding
Historically, the choice of which inventions become commercialized has been very undemocratic. Could crowdfunding platforms democratize the process of commercialization and financing for would-be entrepreneurs and creators? (more)
What Goes Around Comes Around? Rewards as Strategic Assets in Crowdfunding
Reward-based crowdfunding is an increasingly popular means of raising funds on platforms like Kickstarter. Choosing the right type of reward can have a big impact on the success of a project. (more)
Are Syndicates the Killer App of Equity Crowdfunding?
Oftentimes, it is hard for investors to overcome problems of information asymmetry when evaluating potential investments. Can the syndicate model, pioneered in venture capital, solve the same problem in the crowdfunding space? (more)
The Present and Future of Crowdfunding
A group of experts discuss their thoughts about the current state of crowdfunding, its future, important emerging trends in the field, and the opportunities and challenges facing investors and entrepreneurs in the space. (more)

Aiken Promotions boss Peter Aiken has jumped to the defence of Garth Brooks by insisting the country star 'doesn't owe anyone an apology'.
Mr Aiken was speaking after it emerged the 52-year-old agreed to do two matinee shows during his 10-gig extravaganza in Chicago in September.
Lord Mayor of Dublin Christy Burke insisted Brooks should say sorry to his devoted Irish fans after the move.
But Mr Aiken told the Irish Independent: "He doesn't owe anyone an apology.
"The fact of the matter is that there was a suggestion about doing a matinee on the day.
"It was a suggestion to do it, and an offer that Dublin City Council were prepared to look at.
"It was never going to work anyway, you couldn't have done it. It was physically impossible.
"It's [the venue in Chicago] not even a quarter of the size of the show that he was going to put into Croke Park.
"It was all based on the lights and production, which wouldn't work during the day, you wouldn't be able to see it!"

It's official – everyone is back to school. Amber, the oldest, and my two middle children went back to school a few weeks ago and little Anna was left home with me until today. (We did have fun spending extra one-on-one time together.)
The baby of the family returned to head start for the second year and is participating in kindergarten readiness since she didn't get into Pre-K at her siblings' school. She seemed to have mixed feelings about going: excited to put on her "first day outfit" and tote her backpack around. Not too happy to get outta the van. Then joy to see the new building and her classroom; not too thrilled about mommy leaving her, but when I picked her up I was stoked that she was pleased to see me and boosted about her "good day."
My youngest – little Miss Anna (mommy's moo-ma-licious!) – is a big girl!
The posing princess!
And the silly posing princess!
(While Anna happily posed, Amareah sadly pouted 'cause she got in a little trouble and decided that she REALLY needed to stay home with mommy.)
To everyone who doesn't begin school until after labor day, enjoy your last week of freedom and fun.

2001 Mr Riggs Shiraz

- Closure: Cork
Tasted 11/05/2002: Last year during a visit to McLaren Vale, winemaker Ben Riggs pulled us to one side and ushered us towards some very special barrels of Shiraz. Let us say from the outset, that tasting barrels is a tricky business as each barrel has its own idiosyncrasies which can influence a wines profile. These include the type of oak used to make the barrel, the forest from which the oak was grown, the skill of the cooper, the level of toast and so on. What's more, it's easy to be mislead if a wine maker shows you wine only from the best barrels, which may not actually be representative of the final blended wine.
The solution was to sample every barrel in order to gain an objective profile of the wine. Our misgivings soon vanished - the barrels were all sensational! Our joy was short lived however, when we were informed that the total production was limited to a miniscule four hundred and fifty cases. For twelve months we haggled over quantity of stock without so much as a whimper of discussion about price. As time went on, the volumes kept shrinking. The excitement and competition that this wine had stirred was understandable, as the wine now christened "Mr.Riggs" was clearly destined to be a new cult wine and yet another triumph for Ben who this year completes his 22nd vintage in Australia. Mr.Riggs is quite simply an exceptional wine from an exceptional wine maker. Needless to say, stocks are extremely limited.
Tasting Notes: The word seamless is sometimes used in relation to a wines integration of component parts, but in reality, seamlessness is a quality that is difficult to achieve and thus the component parts can easily be identified. Ben Riggs has produced a seamless Shiraz whose velvet texture and persistence of flavour establish a new benchmark of stylistic finesse for McLaren Vale. Opaque, black, crimson colour. The nose is superb with that wonderful sniffing quality that almost renders drinking the wine unnecessary. The traditional Shiraz notes are all evident but not in their own right. Violets, prunes, vanilla, confectionary and liquorice bullets hit an exquisite top chord. The palate structure is indeed seamless and is built around a silky smooth texture that makes this wine a potential drinking hazard! Layers of dark chocolate, vanilla & blackpepper are perfectly intermeshed over a velvet tannin background. Excellent concentration with great finesse and an exceptionally long aftertaste of dark chocolate, blackpepper and spice. Stocks arriving mid-November
Alc./Vol. 14.5 %

Paul Mc Cartney, a memorable name and one among the four famous Beatles member is as we know a musician, singer, songwriter and composer. His new album "Kisses on the Bottom" released on February 6, 2012 is his fifteenth studio album and his first since 2007's Memory Almost Full, breaks the mold of the typical standards album by a rock performer.
What if it rained?
We didn't care
She said that someday soon
The sun was gonna shine
And she was right
This love of mine,
My Valentine
As days and nights
Would pass me by
I tell myself that I was waiting for a sign
Then she appeared
A love so fine,
My Valentine …
….the lines from his album track "My Valentine" floats over you recalling moments of oneness on a fine breeze.
If only my love was here
I'd be taking the time to feel it
Washing over my body and soul
If only my love, only my love was here
I wish that my heart was strong
I'd be letting it beat, much faster
At the thought of you holding me near
I wish that my heart, wish that my heart was strong….
….yet another lines from his song Only Our Hearts absorbs the love and pain in his voice.
The album contains Fourteen (14) tracks that are intimate and tender for ages to come. Among these numbers, the tracks "My Valentine" and "Only Our Hearts" are written by the singer itself whereas the other tracks include other famous song writers. McCartney also plays acoustic guitar on "Get Yourself another Fool" and "The Inch Worm" but otherwise contributes only to vocals. The album also includes the lead track "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter", originally a hit for Fats Waller in 1935.
Even at the age of seventy, his voice is almost as youthful as in the Beatles' glory days .All of his songs has a ring of classic and marks itself to be the number one block buster in the US Billboard after days of its release.
His life long achievement include his name in the Guinness World Records as "the Most Successful Composer and Recording Artist of All Time", with 60 gold discs and sales of 100 million albums, 100 million singles, and a writer's credit on forty-three songs that have sold over one million copies each. In 2008, he received a "BRIT award" for Outstanding Contribution to Music, as well as an honorary Doctor of Music degree from Yale University. He also has won Grammy awards along with many other honors and in 2012, he became the last Beatle to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Ever wondered exactly how the food is made at a particular restaurant? Did you ever try to recreate that specific dish at home? The tips provided in this article will help you figure out how to create your most-loved meals, as well as discover new favorites. Cooking is an enjoyable hobby in which anyone can participate.
Cut your meat as thin as you can if you are using it in a stir-fry. Sometimes, however, this can be a little challenging and tedious. When the meat is partially frozen, slice it diagonally across the grain at a 45 degree angle.
If you have every considered cooking with skewers, you should keep a few things in mind. Avoid round metal skewers and stick to square or twisted types.
They are known to soak up water like a sponge. Instead, you want to wet a clean cloth and use that to wipe the mushroom off.
If you are looking for new ideas for meals to prepare for yourself or your family two great places to look are the library and the internet, where you can find a vast array of options. Try a few recipes, and be patient with yourself as you are mastering this new skill.
If your burgers seem to be sticking to the surface of your grill, it may be hard to take them off without breaking them. Try brushing the grill using vegetable oil prior to cooking so you can avoid sticking.
One thing that you can do is to bake a pie or tart crust longer to optimize quality. Your objective is to cook them past the point of being pale blonde, to the point where they become a golden caramel color. This color means that the sugar has caramelized within the pie crust and will have a crunchy and sweet flavor.
A useful tip when making chicken stock is to think big! If you make a large amount of stock you can freeze it for future use. There are a variety of recipes that call for chicken stock, so having it on hand is always a good idea. Allow the stock to cool, then split it up into heavy duty Ziploc freezer bags.
There is a remedy which will quickly fix this problem. For every tablespoon of water, add half a tablespoon of cornstarch and mix as much as needed to get the right thickness. Stir it into your sauce as it simmers and it will get thicker. Be sure to slowly add the starch solution to your sauce until you achieve the desired thickness.
When cooking vegetables, try cooking them in chicken broth. Chicken broth is great for preventing sticking of vegetables and incorporating some great flavor with them. Chicken broth doesn't cost much, and is widely available at most grocery stores.
Fresh Basil
Try cooking your vegetables in chicken broth for an extra kick. The broths adds some additional flavor, and reduces or eliminates the need to use cooking oil to prepare them. This is a nutritious and delicious method for cooking vegetables.
Do you enjoy flavoring your food with fresh basil? Place the basil in a container that is glass. Cover its stems with water. Keep it on the kitchen counter and it will stay fresh for weeks. By changing the water every so often, your basil will develop roots. Trim your basil plants once in awhile to promote more growth, and enjoy your fresh basil for quite a long time.
Cater to your guests by serving salads with dressing on the side. The amount dressing that people prefer on their salad varies so allow guests to add their own dressing. Your guests will also enjoy having a variety of dressings from which to choose.
Fresh ingredients are better than frozen or dried, regardless of what you cook. The more fresh ingredients you use in your cooking, the better your dishes will be. Fresh ingredients have more flavor, and are less costly than frozen and canned ingredients.
If you are under time constraints when you need to cook a roast, don't remove the bone from it. This will help the meat to cook quicker because the heat will be carried to the center of the roast through the bone. When the roast is done, slice it around the bone.
After you have prepared some sauce, freeze the leftovers in ice cube trays. Then, at a later date, it is a simple process to reheat the cubes on your stove top in a pan. No worries, because the sauce is still quite edible after being frozen in ice cube trays.
Tomatoes can be easily dried. You can use Roma tomatoes cut lengthwise, or ripe tomatoes sliced about a half inch thick. Set them on a rack cut side up and sprinkle lightly with salt. Place the rack on top of a cookie sheet, and bake the tomatoes in an oven set at 190 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 10 hours. Store in plastic bags in the freezer. Another option is to place the tomatoes in a jar and cover them with fresh herbs and olive oil. Put this jar in the fridge and use it up in two weeks time.
Properly frozen fresh fruit can stay good for up to a year. It will also allow you to have the fruits you love even when they are not in season.
If you enjoy utilizing herbs and spices, keep them fresh and flavorful by storing them in an area that is dark and cool. If your spice collection is exposed to too much heat or light, it will break down the flavors.
Substituting another liquid for milk or water can help give your meals a new flavor. In place of water, try adding beef or chicken broth, juice or even water used to cook vegetables. To replace milk, yogurt, sour cream and buttermilk can make good substitutes. Using different liquids is an easy way to make an old dish more interesting and more nutritious.
Preparing macaroni can be more difficult than you think, so be sure to use and follow this guide to assist you. Following the directions will make for a delicious, firm pasta and perfectly melted cheese. Serving macaroni and cheese is done just fine with a solid face spoon. Use pepper to add a little spice to your macaroni and cheese.
A pantry or other cool, dark space will preserve the flavor of herbs and spices the longest. When you keep them in cabinets or in warmer areas, they tend to lose flavor.
Prepare your own stock to enjoy dishes that are more flavorful. Make a lot at once, so that you can divide it into batches and store it in the freezer. By making the stock in bulk, there will always be some available for your soups and other dishes. Preparing your own stock in advance will reduce your need to use cheap over-salted options instead.
If you have purchased unripened fruits, put them into a plastic bag that is perforated. As some fruits become more ripe, they can produce ethylene gas. When air is allowed to reach the fruit, the gas will not escape, thereby maintaining its flavor and freshness for a longer period of time.
For maximum sandwich enjoyment, make sure you spread mayonnaise evenly across the bread. Most people simply spread mayonnaise on the middle of the bread. However, if the mayonnaise is evenly spread across the bread, every bite of the sandwich will be flavorful and delicious.
Organize your materials as best as possible, if you desire to prevent the hazards of burns in the kitchen. Organizing your kitchen cooking area creates a more productive kitchen. Being unorganized can cause you to lose ingredients or tools that you need when you are cooking. This can cause a meal to be ruined which will put the money you spent on ingredients to waste.
When making salsa to be eaten later, rinse the onions after you dice them, and use a paper towel to blot them dry. There are sulfurous gasses in onions. This sulfurous gas can make your salsa taste terrible. By running water over the onions and then drying them off, you get rid of the gas.
When you cook macaroni and cheese, make sure to follow the listed directions on your box exactly. Your macaroni will turn out wonderful if you do it this way. It will also taste so good when you melt cheese over your noodles. Use a non-slotted spoon to serve macaroni and cheese. Add some pepper or other seasonings to the macaroni to liven it up.
Prep your grill in advance of your barbecue cookout. You should try to have everything ready 30 minutes prior to your cook time. Your coals should all have a coat of ash at this point and be medium hot. This is the perfect temperature to grill.
Ground Meat
When it comes to sauteing food, do not put too much food in the pan at once. If there is too much, there will be extra moisture, and the foods will steam instead of sauteing. You will lose crispness. Do not raise the temperature too much.
Any ground meat that you buy should be blotted prior to cooking. If your meal includes ground meat, then blotting the moisture is especially important. Any moisture that remains there will be released during cooking. It will start to sizzle away. Instead of being properly seared, the meat will get steamed, altering its taste and texture.
Do your prep work to save cooking time. You can frequently get your ingredients ready one or two days before you cook your meal. There are many cases when the meal will have more flavor if the ingredients are prepped a few days in advance. After you have cooked with advanced prep a few times, you may find it difficult to cook any other way again.
Buy good-quality knives and other cutting tools for your kitchen. This not only saves you time from having to deal with knives that are dull, but it's safer to use utensils that are new and sharp, rather than ones that are old and dull. More accidents and cuts happen due to dull utensils than properly sharpened ones.
Although you are considering something fancy to impress others, stay away from new recipes when cooking for important people. You don't want to risk a culinary disaster in front of people you hope to impress. You will be better off pleasing them if you cook something that you know you will come out good.
Keep your spices and herbs fresh by not exposing them to humidity and light. Spices rapidly lose their flavor and aroma if they are kept in areas that are bright, humid, or warm. This will overexpose your spices to heat and cause them to lose flavor.
Cook your food first, and then spice it up. Explore different possibilities. Try salt, pepper, cayenne, or garlic powder. Many people have different tastes when it comes to spice. Provide spices and seasonings at the table when the dish is done, rather than adding them while you cook. This allows each person to make their meal their way.
Keep close watch when baking to avoid under cooking or overcooking a cake. While the recommended baking times are good guidelines, they can be affected by factors like elevation. A better idea is to insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If no undone cake batter remains on the toothpick, you can consider it ready.
Some pungent ingredients, like garlic, onions, or fish, can stick to your hands and transfer to foods you don't want them on. You can stop this process by rubbing your hands on stainless steel before you give them a wash. You can use any stainless steel item: spoon, sink, or specially made "soap bar." Rubbing them on stainless steel will remove the odor and keep your hands smelling fresh.
Fresh Herbs
Consider using ketchup to batter ingredients that you are going to fry. Most people usually only use ketchup to dip their cooked foods in, but it is actually a great choice to dip uncooked foods into before they are dipped into the dry coating. The ketchup makes your fried foods tangier, which will make your friends and family wonder how you achieved such a flavor infusion.
Fresh herbs can make a big flavor difference in a simple dish. Complex dishes with multiple tastes are fine places to use dried herbs, such as oregano or basil. However, fresh herbs produce an overall better taste if added at the end of the cooking cycle. One way to ensure that you have fresh herbs is to plant a herb garden.
Pancakes and waffles need to be kept warm until they are ready to be served. Turn your oven on to 300 degrees. Place your breakfast goodies on a platter, and leave them in the oven to stay warm until they are ready to eat.
If you've followed the tips in this article your cooking skills should be much improved. Unleash your inner cook and take your meals to a whole new level with these tips. Since you have all this great food from other cultures, there is no limit on the variety and originality of food you could make.
Use a fat-free broth if you want to make a fat-free soup or stew. Also use lean meat and lots of vegetables; this will keep your soup low-fat. Once it is complete, cool the soup in the refrigerator before eating it. Once cooled, the fat will separate out at the top of the soup. Simply discard the hardened fat and the soup is done. For each tablespoon of fat that you remove, you will have removed approximately 100 calories.

I am relying on and expecting the Professional Left to watch this.
---So I do not have to..........! Do your job.!
I think it would be worth some video review if someone that goes to republican functions and ask all those libtardal questions. Like, How do other than white Americans fit in with the supremacist agenda? How avidly do you follow Trump's tweetie" As long as Putin likes Trump, whatever happens from there is Okay? What is Trump's new better improved health care plan and what will it be called?
Like Cheney, Romney and Trump had better things to do when drafted to defend our country in Vietnam and used their positions of wealth to earn the "Nobel Deferment Prize for Promised Future Heroics (multi deferments). How they all end up with a burning desire to play Commander in Chief.
How much greater is America for affording deferments to these wonderfully special individuals?

Martorell's ulcer is also a type of ischaemic ulcer occurring in hypertensive patients. The main features of this lesion are the following: location on the lower antero-exterior surface of the lower two thirds of the leg; pain far more severe than is expected given the size of the ulcer; significant arterial or venous disease; female-to-male predominance, association with no-controlled hypertension [2]. We describe two recent cases of hypertensive patients.
Materials and methods
- 2)
A male 63 years old, smoker, with a ulceration on the lower-lateral surface of the right leg, sized 1x2cm and other satellite smaller lesion 1x0,4cm, covered by fibrinous exudates (see Figure 2). Ultrasound showed moderate arteriopathy but good peripheral flow. Blood pressure was 200/95mmHg on the left arm and 190/85mHg on the right. Patient was treated, also, with combination ACE inhibitors and diuretics, pentoxifylline, mesoglicane, topic treatment with enzymatic debridment and promogran wound dressing. Follow up to 7,15,days showed normalization of pressure, no pain, 90% epithelialization of main ulcer and closure of the smaller.
Results and conclusions
Martorell's ulcers are associated with long-standing or poorly controlled hypertension. Antihypertensive therapy controlling arterial pressure and topic treatment result in the resolution of these very painful lesions [1].

Two Writing Teachers
Go get some inspiration.
I almost always get ideas when I am in the car for slices, poems, school work, student next steps all those things that swirl in our heads. Maybe it is the scenary. I have a beautiful drive. Maybe it is me trying to block out the, "he's touching me...she's poking me" that is inevitable in my tiny Matrix.
My point. I realized today that when I am in writing mode I begin to think in poems. I was asked what I was thinking the other day and I wrote what I was thinking...it was a poem. Unintentional. I am now writing poems without intention, hmmm, I think that might be the best kind.
People (not a lot mind you), in the blog world have said, "you should publish your poems." I can't say I have no desire to do this but my poems are for me and obviously the people I share them with here. However the idea of publishing is sort of exotic isn't it? It is like that thing that you can't touch because it might go extinct or get damaged if you mess with it. I wonder if I got published if I would feel my poems like I feel them when I just write them for me. I wonder.
Then as I pondered this thought, I wondered, what would the name of my book be? Immediate answer, I THINK IN POEMS. I love the title of my non-existent book. It is me.
Then I realized that every title has to have a poem that goes with it, well, at least I think it should.
So, I wrote two versions of my title poem.

Maximise Space in Their Room, with Minimal Effort!
As parents, we know just how much clutter comes with a child's bedroom space. Toys, books, homework, the remnants of a past hobby and boxes containing the new, half built pirate ships/doll's houses/"insert latest toy here" … The list goes on!
Space (and we don't mean the astronaut, inter-galactic kind), is one of the most important factors when designing your child's room. When they're very little, the tots need space to play, imagine and explore, and as they grow older, desks and bookcases will become the order of the day (for all that homework they so desperately long to do!)
Well here at TCFC, we reckon we've got storage and space saving clutter-busting sussed once and for all! Days of accidentally treading on toys (ouch!) and tripping over half made puzzles are officially over. Read all about our top hints and tips on making the most of their room space …
First thing's first: The age old question of where to put all their 'stuff'.
Where best to hideaway all their treasure than in an under bed storage drawer? A simple solution that fits neatly under a standard single bed, this is the ultimate in space saving ideas, (plus you'll know exactly what's under the bed; meaning no missing bits of puzzle, and no monsters hiding away!) The best bit? Turn the drawer into a spare bed for those summer holiday sleep overs by adding a mattress!
And if one drawer's not enough for their growing car collection, take a look at what the Jango cabin bed has to offer. This ingenious design comes complete with a whopping four storage drawers, leaving plenty of space in their room for the all- important stuff like flying space rockets, building castles and creating play houses!
As they get older, space will become even more of a premium. Clever Cabin beds are definitely worth considering as reliable space savers in their bedroom, with lots of options for reconfiguring the room as the child grows, and are ideal solutions for even the smallest of box rooms.
Take a look at our Neutron cabin bed. A multifunctional, space saving parents' dream! By day: A desk for scribbling plans for saving the world as well as a chest of drawers for stashing those capes, plus a few hidey holes for super special gadgets and toys. By night: All is transformed and stored underneath for bedtime and a good night's sleep. After all, any mini Superhero needs to recharge their (super power) batteries!
Children love 'high beds'. Super cool, super tall and a bit of fun, they're ideal for the older child who wants to be King or Queen of the castle (Nah nah nah-nah nah). But our spectacular High sleepers have an added (more practical) extra: They're one of our favourite space maximisation tools here at TCFC.
The ideal antidote to clutter, the Willow high sleeper range has enough space to store a room's worth of furniture underneath! This smartly designed collection includes an optional wardrobe and chest of drawers in one unit, as well as a bookcase with more than enough space for all their bedtime (and study) books, along with a favourite toy or two, of course!
Phew, with all that space saved, you'll be wondering what to do with the rest of the room!

Why Ben?
Those of us unfortunate enough to have suffered a shockingly unexpected bereavement know that it's like being knocked down by a juggernaut. You're paralysed by shock and disbelief, torn apart by grief, anger and sheer horror, alienated from other people who have not had your experience.
It takes at least a year to even begin to put yourself together - longer if the loss is exacerbated by further stress. Brooke Kinsella admits that when her brother Ben was stabbed to death in June 2008 she was wrecked by the experience, almost to the point of suicide. But this young woman found the incredible strength to learn and campaign in the public eye, and she has now written a powerful and thoughtful book Why Ben? about Ben's death and the issues arising from it.
I've written before on this blog about the killing of Ben Kinsella, aged just 16, randomly killed after a night out with friends in Islington, and the dignified response of his parents who called for longer minimum tariffs for knife killings.
Why Ben? is packaged as misery lit – white cover, hand-written title – and the raw honest emotion of Brooke's account had tears dripping down my face as I read about how the family had to say goodbye to their beautiful boy in the hospital, how they watched a CCTV film of him walking away bravely after the attack, when I read Brooke's loving letters to her lost little brother, and his own school assignments which eerily imagined his own death and arriving in heaven.
But Brooke Kinsella's book is far more than misery. She examines the competing claims of revenge and rehabilitation. She researches different approaches to tackling knife crime - from boot camp style punishment to programmes in schools. She talks to prisoners, bereaved families, politicians and policemen.
Brooke was unwilling to be pushed into a public role after Ben's death. She knew that as a former actress on EastEnders she was a very minor celebrity and she understood that some other bereaved families would resent the focus on Ben. She's very honest that part of the reason she got involved in campaigning against knife crime was to keep herself busy, to distract herself from her pain. 'I didn't want people thinking it was just so I could get more work as an actress and presenter or just so I could look like some sort of saint or hero. I was only doing it so I could get my questions answered and get the right people to admit blame for what had happened to our streets.'
Ben's killers – the three young men who stabbed him for no reason at all, and showed no remorse – were tried earlier this year. Many young witnesses came forward to give evidence against them. 'The way they were treated was despicable,' writes Brooke. 'Many of these witnesses were young kids - sixteen or seventeen-year-olds who'd been brave enough to stand up for Ben, yet they faced being ripped apart in court, The lawyers made them feel bad for being out at a bar when they were underage, brought up silly misdemeanours such as previous fights or minor drug possessions, to try and discredit them and basically twisted their words until they almost gave up. Some of them cried, some of them, inevitably, got angry. It was really unfair seeing these trained intelligent lawyers from privileged backgrounds pit their wits against young kids.'
Many of the witnesses were allowed to give evidence from behind a screen and were promised anonymity. Yet the defence lawyers gave out their full names – 'kids were crying in fear and threatening not to give evidence at all' The lawyers apologised, but the damage had been done. Brooke claims her family were threatened by the defendants' friends and family, and another witness was explicitly threatened. Imagine being a witness in that case. Imagine hearing your full name read out when you'd been promised anonymity. I'd like to know if the lawyers responsible suffered any penalty for their mistakes.
Ben Kinsella was a bright, talented 16-year-old from a loving family, a boy who dreamed of becoming a designer and travelling the world. Mr and Mrs Kinsella are ordinary working class Londoners who obviously know how to bring up wonderful children. Their loss could happen to any of us. There are many, many things that can be done to prevent this happening to other families, but it would be a start if Why Ben? was made a compulsory part of the National Curriculum, and a copy was sent to every politician and lawyer in the UK. In the meantime you can buy it here.

How sad that Ben had to lose his life due to senseless violence. This sounds like a powerful novel, one I very much want to read now.ReplyDelete
Hi Shalonda. As far as I can see it's only available as an e-book in the US. I think you'd find it interesting, if only as a contrast between London and America.ReplyDelete
This sounds a very important book to read and I am glad you have flagged up the fact it is not just another misery book. I am particularly angry at the breach of the promise for anonymity.ReplyDelete
In all probabilty, the naming of the witnesses, was no mistake - shameless lack of morality. So sad, the sudden, shocking removal of a life. Awful.ReplyDelete
I imagine she's had to word things quite carefully, for libel reasons. But she does say: 'At times it seemed to me they knew they were rattling the witnesses, making them angry, making them want to go home and give up...'ReplyDelete
One lawyer said to a witness 'I assure you your safety will not be compromised.' What an empty promise!

Bi Gu is a several thousand years old Chinese method which allows a change of diet, so that one will be able to live wholly or partly on cosmic energy and to correspondingly renounce earthly food.
Her life-threatening liver disease, from which she had suffered for ten years, disappeared after barely practicing the Tian Gong exercises. During this same process, extraordinary skills emerged in her, such as clairvoyance, communication with beings from higher dimensions, telepathy, and the skill to transmit Bi Gu energy. Consequently, she left her civil service job and focused her life on serving other people. From that time on she gave seminars she gave seminars and energy transmissions in China. Since 1998 she has expanded her work to Europe and many other countries worldwide.
Now, where ever she travels, she touches the hearts of thousands of people with her lectures, energy transmissions and with her incredible healing singing. Many profound healings have been generated and accomplished with the power and help of the Great Love.
P.A. StraubingerIn Skype videoconference
Renowned Austrian filmmaker P.A. Straubinger has more than two decades of experience as a journalist for the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation. In the 1990s his interest in transpersonal psychology led to intensive practice in yoga and meditation. A personal encounter in spring 2000, when he met a meditation teacher, who had not eaten for more than a year by then, awakened his interest in the strange topic of Breatharianism. Still beeing skeptical he started 10 years of research around the globe, searching for traces, evidence and skeptical scrutiny of this human mystery . 200 hours of footage were edited to the 90 minute feature documentary "IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS LIGHT" which premiered at the Film Festival in Cannes and became one of the most influential and successful feature documentaries in Austrian Cinema history as it outnumbered Hollywood Blockbusters like "Harry Potter" and led to a huge public discussion.
IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS LIGHTIs it possible that human beings can survive without food and fluid over many years and live on light alone?
Most people would spontaneously say that this just cannot be. It's impossible! But based on certified reports of personal experiences, interviews and scientifically documented laboratory experiments, the picture follows the phenomenon of "inedia completa" aka "Breatharianism" or "Bigu" – known in all cultures throughout all times.
This picture starts on a fascinating and intriguing journey around the globe and includes not only the latest explanatory models taken from quantum physics and biophysics but touches on the knowledge from eastern spiritual tradition as well.
It is not the film's intention to advocate that one should stop eating but it does challenge the prevailing mechanistic-materialistic philosophy dominating our society today.
