What's the first impression about the following time sequence?
It's 6:30 a.m. / 7:15 a.m. / It is 8:25 a.m. / It is 9 o'clock. / It is 9:20. / The time is 9:36 a.m. / It is 9:54. / It is 10:01 a.m. / It is 10:40. / It is 10:58. / It is 11:05 a.m., the day of the monster. / The clock says 12:29. / At 12:53 … / It is 1:06. / The clock … says 1:40. / It is 1:43, and it's over.
Seem a bit too scattered, and obscure? What if with the additions of the following onomatopoeic 'pops'?
With each heartbeat a loudspeaker produces an audible popping sound. The steady pop, pop, popping isn't loud, but it dominates the operating room.
It is 8:25 a.m. The heartbeat goes pop, pop, pop, 70 beats a minute, steady.
The chatter of the half-inch drill fills the room, drowning the rhythmic pop, pop, pop of the heart monitor.
The microscopic landscape heaves and subsides in time to the pop, pop, pop of the heart monitor.
The heart monitor continues to pop, pop, pop, 70 beats a minute, 70 beats a minute.
The carotid twists and dances to the electronic pop, pop, popping.
The heart monitor pop, pop, pops with reassuring regularity.
The heart monitor goes pop, pop, pop, steady.
In the background the heart monitor goes pop, pop, pop, 70 beats a minute, steady.
The heartbeat goes pop, pop, pop, 70 beats a minute.
Pop, pop, pop …
… …
The tick tock on the clock echoes the pops of heartbeat, threading the overall story of Mrs. Kelly's Monster.
The story was written by Jon Franklin in 1978, depicting the process of a brain surgeon by Dr. Ducker to cure Mrs. Kelly of an aneurysm – 'the monster' – which has long agonized her, ending in that 'the monster won'.
With vivid, but concise descriptions, the author gradually pulls readers in, showing how Mrs. Kelly had suffered over the years before she made the final decision to take the surgeon, a hard one on which she staked on life.
Delicate, vivid details of the whole operation bring readers to the scene, even to hearts and minds of Dr. Ducker: Readers could almost see Mrs. Kelly's 'crescent' scalp, skulls, and the 'monster' under operation and how Dr. Ducker operates through the 'journey'; also could feel is his almost meticulous concentration and fragile nerve throughout the process.
Running through is the 'tick tocks' of clock and 'pops' of Mrs. Kelly's heartbeat when fighting the monster, which tightens the story as well as reader's heartstring, shadowing nervousness, excitements and jitters upon readers' heart. Using the 'tick tocks' and 'pops' as a string, the author almost manages to control the heartbeat of readers by a simple pull, until it comes to the final collapse when 'the monster won'.
Tick tock.
Tick tock.
… …
Until a unanticipated, gigantic collapse:
The point readers finally realize what the onomatopoeia symbolize:
A sinking lifeline.

Surnia Campaign
Aodhgagan Lorcáin
Genasi Warlord
Chaos Born Background: +2 Endurance
Chaos Born
Aodhgagan spent most of her early years in the town of Epheura, at the base of the elemental volcano Drassloft in the elemental chaos. As the oldest she was usually tasked with keeping her brother and sisters out of trouble. She was happy to leave her eldest sibling Asharra this thankless task when her parents managed to arranged for her to go to a special human school in Bern to learn the arts of diplomacy and tactic.
While she did not want to leave at the young age of 16, she put on a brave face for her family as the mages opened the portal that would take them to the Prime Material plane. Little did she know that, aside from Asharra, this might be the last time she would see any of them.
Object of study or Objective of study
Aodhgagan has spent the last 10 years in [the school], learning more and less then her parents had bargained for. For starters the curriculum focused much more on the tactics and strategies of war then the diplomatic relations that the name, and literature they had recieved, implied. Regardless she took to the actual lessons like a firefish to lava. Go, Chess, Esaran and similar games of strategy came to her naturally. Positioning and stance on the battlefield also seemed intuitive. Even the practical aspects of hitting people with things was not difficult for her, yet all was not wine and roses. Many of the other students at the school where less then charitable towards the only Genasi enrolled. Aodhgagan's noble birth, and superiority complex didn't exactly endear her with them either. The end result being that she was oft then butt of cruel pranks, and after sparring practice she was oft more bruised and battered then she might have been had she found a way to fit in better.
Her treatment as a pariah was not limited solely to the students, many of the teachers, especially those trained in the arcane arts, had not had the chance to examine a Genasi up close, leaving Aodhgagan feeling more like a specimen then a student.
Recent History
It was only a few months ago that my sister Asharra brought me the terrible news. The evil sorcerer Ehrzan had encased a large part of the settlement of Epheura in a solid sphere of magical ice. As she relates the tale the majority of the scholars, warriors and nobles had gathered in the town hall to discuss how to deal with the depredations of Ehrzan when his vile machination came to fruition.
Since then I have met up with two people who both know of an artifact that might be able to free my people from their unjust imprisonment. Malik Risener is a wizard who has been studying the calamity the befell my hometown (I don't entirely trust his motivations for doing so) and Alezar a Paladin of Pelor. He is fresh from seminary school and is still very much the idealist. I am sure it is only a matter of time until he realizes that in the real world things are never as nice and neat as depicted in the books. He has also been tasked with finding the chalice as his final task.
There is another human, Lynna) who seems a bit shifty, but Alezar has vouched for her. The only other non-human in our group is an Eladarin named Araliss who seems a little confused as to his identity. He keeps looking at me funny. I know that look from my years in training in Bern. Several of the war wizards would get it right before asking me embarrassing questions or trying to "study" me. Just because my kind rarely travel to this harsh unchanging plane doesn't give them the right to treat me like a specimen. If he tries anything I may have to set him on fire.

Well, its the second post, I'm not even sure if anyone in the world read my first one, but hey ho, I'm in work, a bit bored and feeling the urge to blog.
Anyway, in no order what so-ever, the spare room! Now, for ages and ages and ages and ages and ages i have wanted a black and white room. I don't know why, but i just love the simplicity of black and white, plus then as your only technically using one colour, white, it enables you to add splashes of colour to it and for it not to look too rainbow-esque, which isn't bad obviously, but wasn't the look i was going for!
Now the spare room, it needed to serve 3 main purposes. The first one was to house our pet Degu's, Flower and Stumpy, who live in a large, industrial looking cage, which in all honesty, doesn't look that pretty! Next was to house my iMAC, which is obviously white, and third was to house a sofa bed to be used by any passing travellers that wish to crash at my humble abode!
We found some truly luscious wallpaper at B&Q, which I fell in love with, that would cover the wall facing the door, and then a trip to Ikea got me a Grankulla Futon, an Ikea PS cabinet and drawers, and then a Vika Curry desk in black with matching white legs.
That was it really, a few accessories such as a MASSIVE black vase from Habitat and some other bits and bobs and we had the makings of the black and white room.
My first attempt at wallpapering followed and a week down the line, the spare room went from this...
Yeah, complete carnage! Was like this for about a week, and then over a weekend, we finished it off! So it now looks like this! I still need to do a bit of work on it, id like to get a groovy rug, and i need to tidy up the cables and id like to get some more storage, but nothing too big as i like the sort of minimal look of the room! :) Also, ignore the clashing duvet cover, it'll be replaced with a nice white one when i get find one i like!

Episode 21: Remember Football 2016 Like It Was Yesterday
Release Date: 09/10/2016
This episode runs long because it was recorded in two very long sessions that were later mixed together. One with Alli and Jeff and the other with Varg and Jeff. Each session consists of a Football segment and a SOSO segment. In the show they appear as two segments that jump between sessions. We've marked the times in these notes for your convenience.
Intro: Jeff and Lance ( Open - 18:47 )
One time in Florida somebody beheaded a goose. Thanks to TK Wharton for setting our levels for us. Jeff and Varg try to parse out some local Twitter drama neither of them understand well which leads to Varg telling a story about a time he got catfished. Did the election make everybody on Twitter oversensitive?
Segment 1: ALL FOOTBAW
Alli and Jeff (19:04 - 56:41)
Alli and Jeff talk about LSU's faceplant in Wisconsin and the LSU fan overreaction. What should a college coach even be? What are the political and moral implications of being a football coach, player, or fan. We discuss this Deadspin piece about labor issues in college football and this amazing Spencer Hall article about the wider notions of football fandom and American citizenship.
Alli also recaps Notre Dame's thrilling loss to Texas. Can either Notre Dame or LSU recover from their opening day losses? What are the challenges for each the rest of the season? Can pro coaches develop college players? Or do they have "NFL AIDS" all over them? The knives are already out for Les Miles. Should they be, though?
Do the Saints have too many Stanford players on the roster? They have two. That may be too many. Consider, for instance, this story about Sean Payton's relationship with Stanford coaches, players, and their families. Do the Saints have enough Notre Dame players on the roster? They have zero.
Lance and Jeff (56:58 - 1:37:30)
Jeff and Lance pick up the Les Miles thread for a while. Is there added pressure on LSU this year to "lift the spirits" of fans after the flood? What's the deal with Louisiana sports fans. Someone should write a book. (There are actually a lot of books about this) When will we win our oil spill championship?
Sean Payton remembers things "like it was yesterday." The Saints are probably gonna be bad. How bad? The guys make pointless predictions. Also Lance describes some exotic bets.
HALFTIME SHOW: "Football For Pussy" by Wagon Train
Segment 2: SOSO
Alli and Jeff (1:42:15 - 2:03)
Alli takes a Faulknerian road trip to Memphis and does all the things there. Drinks at Madison Hotel, food and drinks and stuff at Loflin Yard, drinks again on Beale Street. You get the idea. Also something called "aerial silks" happens. Other points of interest: Shelby Farms Park, Paula and Raiford's Disco. On the way back through Mississippi, Square Books, the Windsor Ruins, the Ole Miss campus, and "The Grove" which is apparently bullshit.
Jeff and Lance (2:03:20 - end)
Jeff wants to talk about the fan experience at the Superdome. Mostly, though, he just complains about beer prices and the "South Market District" gentrification nearby. Varg GOES OFF on Colin Kaepernick's national anthem protest.
Also Lance has been watching TundaMinous on the Cajun Nerd Media YouTube channel and closed out summer with a day drinking event called Seersucker Wednesday.
There is also a recipe minute in here somewhere.
And that'll do it for this week. Thanks again for listening. Sorry this thing ran so long. Thanks for bearing with our little experiment.

Actuant Class Earnings Call Insights: Brazil, Energy in Europe
On Wednesday, Actuant Corp Class A (NYSE:ATU) reported its third quarter earnings and discussed the following topics in its earnings conference call. Here's what the C-suite revealed.
Charles Brady – BMO Capital Markets: With respect to the commentary on Brazil, it felt like there's a lot of activity going on down there with respect to Energy. Can you give us or remind us kind of what is Brazil in terms of total sales, and I guess specifically on Energy today, and kind of where do you see that going over the next three to five years?
A Closer Look: Actuant Earnings Cheat Sheet>>
Bob Arzbaecher – Chairman, President and CEO: I'll let Andy noodle on, on getting you the numbers and I'll just talk more generally, and then we can bring the two comments together. Brazil today is primarily a Hydratight business and Enerpac business and a little bit of (capital) business that we did for Scania and one other truck customer. We were handling this out of a couple of smaller facilities. With the Turotest acquisitions, I think we are looking that this is going to be a broader initiative. Energy is our biggest business down there. We do a lot of rental tools, we sell them both to Petrobras on a Tier 1 basis, but also to quite a bit of sub-suppliers that fall under those guys.
Andy Lampereur – EVP and CFO: In terms of sales, Charlie, with Turotest, we do about $30 million, $35 million of revenue down in Brazil.
Charles Brady – BMO Capital Markets: Just as a follow-up on the Energy side of the business, can you give us some granularity between the growth rates of Cortland and Hydratight in the quarter?
Andy Lampereur – EVP and CFO: They were actually quite similar in the quarter. I think within a couple 100 basis points, within (200-300) basis points from one another.
Energy in Europe
James Bank – Citigroup: James Bank filling in for Deane. I was just wondering if I could get a better sense of both, the European and the China landscape. It looks like it's really impacting your OEM heavy truck space. I think you mentioned in your prepared remarks that Electrical was good, if I am using the right word, but I was wondering if you could give us a bit more color in terms of north and south regions, and maybe how broad-based the weakness is or if it's just really in that vehicle space for you?
Bob Arzbaecher – Chairman, President and CEO: Well, I'll start and Andy will help me on some of the details there. You're up in total, it was up. A lot of people lose that fact, but we actually had core growth. it moderated a bit from the prior quarter, but we also had some pockets of pretty good strength. Energy represented a big chunk, 25% or 30% of the European market, and obviously the trends we saw in Energy were strong everywhere. We don't do a lot in the southern countries. Ours is Germany, Holland, the U.K., a little bit in France, but by and large we are in the northern climates there. So, we saw great results, Mastervolt had a great quarter admittedly, a week comparable last year, but it was great to see the recovery in the channel inventory issues that we've seen in the past that have dissipated. I think we told you that a couple of quarters ago that we thought we were at the end there. So, the last thing I would say about Europe is, IS has been a big positive success for us. A lot of the orders, we've talked you guys about the Venice MOSE Project, a number of others are in the revenue stream and are offsetting some of the weakness you've got in the general, industrial tool portion of Enerpac. As for China, the weakest spot, we're weak in both Enerpac and in truck, but truck being the weakest. Now, in China, we're mostly with CNHTC. So, it's a single customer, we're in launch mode with FAW, I think that will start offsetting that because obviously we didn't have sales in the prior period. So, I think we're expecting this to be an improving picture as you go out in the quarters on truck. Anything you want to add, Andy?
Andy Lampereur – EVP and CFO: No.
James Bank – Citigroup: And just for – the second is, just the M&A pipeline, we're hearing that's robust from a lot of the other companies share in this sector, and as you mentioned your capital structure is as good, as it's ever been, but we're really only seeing some bolt-ons here and some tuck-ins there. I'm just wondering, is there anything going on with the service or strategies maybe bidding up some stuff. So, you guys walk away from it or may be some of the sellers are rethinking exit strategies. I was just wondering if there is anything more to the timing or that's just coincidence.
Andy Lampereur – EVP and CFO: I think nothing to call out, nothing unusual out there. I mean, there are certainly some deals that get pricy and you just walk away from them, but nothing out of the ordinary here. People should not read into the fact that we've only closed down two small deals. There is plenty of activity out there and I just remind people that in 2010, we did $40 million of acquisitions and in 2011 we did $300 million, and this year we're at 35 or 40. Next year or we could end up – certainly there is possibility here something happens this quarter, if not this quarter, next year, but it's not for lack of activity, it will happen.
James Bank – Citigroup: Size of some of some of things?
Bob Arzbaecher – Chairman, President and CEO: Size of some of the things in the funnel, I mean our target would be kind of $50 million to $100 million that would where we would like to be. We have things that are smaller than that. I think the largest thing in the funnel is now 250 or 300, but it would be in that perspective that the items are in there, and I would say primarily focused on Energy and Industrial. Those are the two areas that most of the activity is going on.

1) What you could do is rename the file before sending it. For instance, call it readme.txt, send it over and then tell the person on the other end to rename it back to whatever it used to be.2) Method number one is somewhat tedious if you transfer files regularly. That's why wtbw made us a quick and easy patch that enables the blocked file types again by marking them "safe" after all. Download File Extension Unblocker, launch it and restart MSN Messenger completely. Now if you share File Extension Unblocker with your contacts, you'll hardly notice any obstruction when transferring files over MSN Messenger.3) If you're using MSN Messenger 7.0.0777 (the final release), you can also use Mess Patch to enable the transfer of "potentially unsafe files" again. Download Mess Patch and in the Conversation Window Options, make sure you check the Remove File Transfer Blocked Extensions tweak. Of course, you can select all the additional Mess Patch tweaks of your choice.4) Another method to transfer blocked files is to use the File Sharing application from the Activities pulldown menu in your conversation window [thanks to: BenB].

Mr. Speaker, indeed I am responsible to the public. I promised to investigate every one of the allegations that was brought to my attention that merited either legal actions, references to auditors, time verification audits, or a review under the Financial Administration Act. All of that activity is underway. I would note that I have brought forward the final report of the file review process voluntarily, without being required to do so.

Ancient Lakes of a Green Arabia
An article by Live Science Contributor Owen Jarus on livescience.com - 46 Prehistoric Sites with Palaeolakes Discovered in 'Green Arabia' - reports on the 46 sites containing artefacts discovered beside the remains of ancient lakes in the western Nefud desert in Saudi Arabia.

Some of the stone tools date to the Lower Palaeolithic period. Animal fossils, including fossils from now-extinct forms of jaguar and elephant, were also discovered at some of the sites.
The discoveries point to the 'Green Arabia' when the climate in Arabia - the area spanning modern-day Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman and other Gulf States - was wetter, supporting more vegetation and wildlife than it does today. Researchers believe it also supported early humans.

Paul Breeze, a landscape archaeologist and research associate at King's College London and part of the Palaeodeserts Project, states that these repeated wet phases affected much of Arabia and were driven by periodic variations in the Earth's orbit and axis, causing the monsoons to move north into Arabia and into the Sahara. Between these wet phases, Arabia was as arid as it is today.
The Palaeodeserts Project aims to better understand Saudi Arabia's environmental and human history, bringing together researchers from the Saudi Commission for Tourism and National Heritage, the Saudi Geological Survey, Saudi Aramco and scientists from all over the world.
Searching for ancient lakes - researchers examined high-resolution satellite and aerial imagery, as well as geological maps. Focusing on a section of the western Nefud desert, they found that many of these so-called paleolakes were located in basins between sand dunes. Paleolake sediments were analysed and then excavations followed.
Working in the Nefud desert. Image: Palaeodeserts Project/Max Plank Institute.
Published in the journal Archaeological Research in Asia, the research reveals how life changed in the western Nefud desert: Lower Palaeolithic hominins could, at times, have experienced widespread favourable environmental conditions. Previously reported research suggested that around 200,000 years ago, after the Lower Paleolithic, modern humans (Homo sapiens) might have used Arabia as a corridor to migrate out of Africa. The new findings suggest that, at that time, humans (whether Homo sapiens or other human species) appear to have been venturing deeper into the western Nefud desert and were no longer sticking to the fringes.
The archaeological sites did not reveal artefacts that dated to the Upper Palaeolithic or Epipalaeolithic, between roughly 40,000 and 10,000 years ago, suggesting that the western Nefud had become more arid and less capable of supporting life by that time.
The last 'wet period' seems to have occurred between roughly 10,000 and 6,000 years ago. Following this the climate became increasingly arid. However, humans were still able to venture deep into the western Nefud desert because they had domesticated the camel.

A businesswoman has started to provide a dyslexia service from her Sheffield home.
Jill Ruddle, owner and director of The Dyslexia Centre UK, provides a service offering assessment and specialist support to adults who are out of work.
Jill said: "There are a number of people offering dyslexia support in the area with costs that make it impossible for the majority of families to access it.
"Primarily, these services are business focused, rather than service related.
"I have developed a model whereby you can access up to two one-hour lessons per week, which means paying about only £7.50 per hour, about a third of local providers."

Police: UPS employee caught stealing iPhone from shipment
A UPS employee was caught stealing an Apple iPhone from a shipment Tuesday, police said.
The Ypsilanti Police Department was called to the UPS Customer Center at 540 S. Mansfield St. around 8:50 a.m.
After being interviewed by the business' security and Ypsilanti police officers, the employee admitted to stealing the phone.
The phone was recovered, and the employee was released. Charges are pending.

Not much information here, such as how the employee was caught. I've had terrible experiences with UPS and will only use FedEx for packages. Most recently, I had a package mailed via UPS (not my choice) and the delivery person left a slip indicating the delivery ( I was not home). The slip said a second attempt would be made the next day between 8 am and 10:30 am (one of several timeframe options). I would not be home at that time either, so I called to make arrangements for a different time/day for delivery. After 45 minutes on the line with a supervisor, I was told that it was impossible to change the time to later (5 pm -7 pm) the next day, even though those are regular delivery hours and that was one of the options on the slip. I kept saying I would not be home from 8 am to 10:30 am on any weekday, and the supervisor kept telling me that the envelope was sent with a morning delivery paid for, and that could not be changed, even if it was fine with me that it was delivered later when I was home! I kept saying I was fine with the later delivery, I didn't need it in the morning, and I would not be there to receive it in the morning. The supervisor said if I was not there the next day in the morning, then another slip would be left for the following day to be delivered between 8 am and 10:30 am. He said I could drive to Ypsi to pick it up, or I could schedule for a different day and time for a charge of $4.00. This was completely ludicrous, and I was furious at the inflexibility of UPS. This was a catch 22! He asked me to drive to Ypsi instead of bringing it later in the day when I would be home. I finally said to send it back to the sender, since I was not home from 8 - 10:30 am on any weekday. Totally unbelievable. I have had several other similarly ludicrous conversations with UPS, and would never use them under any circumstance to mail anything. FedEx, on the other hand has always been accommodating and gone out of their way to deliver when I was home.
Thu, Dec 29, 2011 : 2:31 a.m.
Just this past summer, was sitting on my front porch. Watched a ups brown truck pull up across the street and go up two steps of a duplex of thirteen stairs and throw the box towards the door. No comment!! I know when I mail to a family member... I let them know who has the box and they watch for the delivery. No throwing on the other end...

Has to be isolated, and I'd guess a temporary holiday employee. I think security is extremely tight for both UPS and FedEx. I've had nothing but outstanding and professional service from both shippers. The USPS- totally different story. Shut 'em down. Let FedEx or Brown deliver our mail.
Thu, Dec 29, 2011 : 4:35 p.m.
The service I receive from my USPS carrier and office is as good as UPS or Fed Ex. UPS and Fed Ex will not deliver to many thousands of homes in the USA. THE USPS is constitutionally mandated, in this case The Founders knew how important post is to a civilized society and got it right.
Wed, Dec 28, 2011 : 9:54 p.m.
Personally, I have had nothing but excellent customer service from UPS drivers in this community. Friendly, cheerful and accommodating (in bringing heavy boxes inside, for example), even during the holiday rush season. Never had a missing or damaged delivery. Just sayin'.
Thu, Dec 29, 2011 : 5:42 p.m.
I agree; the drivers I've had are great people. I have to sign for monthly deliveries and my driver will return later in the afternoon if need be to get my signature and deliver. Very professional and friendly.
Wed, Dec 28, 2011 : 7:36 p.m.
Is the slogan "What can brown do for you" or "What can brown do for me"?
Wed, Dec 28, 2011 : 6:41 p.m.
Temp employee? Or vested?
Wed, Dec 28, 2011 : 6:25 p.m.
Perhaps he had intentions of stealing it first then recovering it and returning it to it's rightful owner to collect a reward.
Wed, Dec 28, 2011 : 8:21 p.m.
As if collecting a bogus reward is a lesser evil?
Robert Granville
Wed, Dec 28, 2011 : 6:23 p.m.
This happens more than you would think... along with UPS employees throwing boxes from long distances to your doorstep. Just watch youtube ups videos.
Wed, Dec 28, 2011 : 6:16 p.m.
I am disappointed, why are so many people so desperate? With so many needing jobs, I believe this person just LOST his.

Decoration Day, the predecessor of Memorial Day, was established in the years after the Civil War to honor Union soldiers who died in combat. Since then, the holiday has become a time to commemorate all those who died in military service to the country. It is also, more broadly, a day to remember all loved ones who are no longer with us. Here are some remembrances in honor of the holiday.
The soldier left behind
David Bloom
I first met Cheyenne Willey at the U.S. Army's Civil Affairs Requalification Course at Ft. Dix, N.J., in early 2005. We were both 35, a little over the hill for warriors. We had both served in the military -- I in the Marines, he in the Army -- and had both felt called to reenlist after 9/11 to help with the effort in the Middle East. At Ft. Dix, we were trained to work on projects aimed at rebuilding Iraq and winning hearts and minds.
One month after school ended, Willey and I found our names on the same roster of soldiers headed for Iraq to help rebuild schools, repair the power grid and pass out Beanie Babies. We trained together every weekday at Camp Roberts and Ft. Hunter Liggett in California, and then at Ft. Bragg in North Carolina, and we often saw each other in town on the weekends in the three months before our deployment. He had grown up in rural Illinois and was an easygoing sort: He liked everyone, and everyone liked him.

What our students are saying:
I love this app! I have tons of homework and it helps me get it done quickly. This app is AMAZING!!! And I love that when you ask a question it stays anonymous, which makes my mom happy :)
This has helped so much with my homework and studying for tests. Thought it wasn't going to work but it's wonderful and they not only give the answer but explain to you how to do it.
This has to be the BEST math help you can get!!! They're fast and you'll get help right away! Never heard about an app that is as good as this one! I am really recommending it!
Got it! is great for anyone who needs help with math. It's simple and easy to use, and it's almost always correct. I absolutely love it!
I've learned so much from got it! experts. What I mostly like about this app is when you ask a question they will answer you within 10 minutes. It's so fast and helpful. I don't know what I'd do without it!

One of the keys to successful weight loss is a good diet. In fact, eating the right food in the right amounts is probably the most important step you can take if you're serious about living a healthy lifestyle.
For people who are overweight or obese, Dr. Dirk recommends a high-protein, low-carb diet with plenty of lean protein, vegetables and whole grains. (Here's why this diet is best for people who want to lose weight and keep it off.)
If you're looking for some healthy spring dinner recipes, try one or all of these high-protein, low-carb meals this week.
Stir-Fry Sesame Chicken with Brown Rice
This recipe is a great way to get in some lean protein (in the form of skinless chicken breast) and a variety of delicious, nutritious vegetables. Add a side of brown rice, and you have a tasty dish that beats your favorite Chinese takeout. Serves six.
- 1 tablespoon canola oil or coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1/4 cup chicken stock
- 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
- 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and sliced into strips
- 1 yellow or orange bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and sliced into strips
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups stemmed and chopped fresh green beans
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions, sliced diagonally, or chopped cilantro
- 1/8 cup sesame seeds
- Toast sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently. Set aside.
- Coat chicken strips in half the teriyaki sauce. Add oil to a pan or wok over medium heat. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Set aside.
- Add green beans and water or chicken stock to the pan. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes, until beans are crisp-tender. Add sesame oil and peppers to the pan with the beans. Cook uncovered for about 4 minutes. Add garlic and some teriyaki sauce, and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Return chicken to pan and add remaining teriyaki sauce. Cook for one minute, until warmed. Remove from heat and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Garnish with scallions or cilantro.
- Serve with brown rice.
Wild Salmon with Rainbow Salsa
Wild salmon is one of the best sources of protein you can get. Not only is it lean, but it's also loaded with omega-3 fatty acids (the good kind of fat). This recipe pairs zesty salmon with a colorful sweet and sour salsa. Serves two.
Miso-lime marinade
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
- 1 tablespoon white miso
- 1 teaspoon mirin
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 fillets (6 ounces each) wild salmon
- 1 lime, thinly sliced
- Fresh parsley sprigs to garnish
Rainbow salsa
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 jalapeno
- 1 large ripe tomato, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
- Mix together the ingredients for the lime marinade and smear over the salmon fillets. Set aside for at least 30 minutes so the salmon absorbs the flavor of the marinade.
- While the fish is marinating, prepare the salsa.
- Char the outside skin of the peppers and jalapeño. You can do this by holding them with tongs over an open flame, turning them so the outside chars evenly. Put the peppers and chili in a paper bag so they sweat (this makes it easier to remove the skin). After about 5 minutes, remove the peppers and jalapeño from the bag, and the charred skin should slide off easily.
- Cut the peppers in half, remove the seeds and chop finely. If you don't want the salsa to be too hot, remove the seeds from the jalapeño before chopping.
- Place the peppers and jalapeño in a bowl with the tomato and garlic. Add the lime juice, sea salt, honey, and cilantro and mix well.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Lay enough lime slices on an oven tray so that the fish can sit comfortably on top. Place the fish on the lime slices and place the tray on the top shelf of the oven. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through. (The thicker the fillets, the longer they will take to cook through.)
- Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter, keeping the lime slices underneath. Serve immediately with the rainbow salsa.
Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon Stew
Beef can be high in fat, so try to limit your intake of red meat and choose leaner cuts of beef, like strip steak and eye of round roast.
Of course, there are those days when nothing will satisfy like a hearty beef stew. For those days, use this low-carb, veggie-packed recipe. Serves eight.
- 1 1/2 pounds lean beef chuck, cut into bite-size cubes
- 1 pound russet potatoes, peeled and chopped into large cubes
- 2 carrots, chopped into 1/2 inch thick slices
- 2 stalks celery, thickly sliced
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 whole sprig rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dry oregano
- 1 pound white button mushrooms, halved
- 3 thyme sprigs
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons white whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour
- 1 cup low-sodium beef stock
- 3 cups red wine
- 10 pearl onions, halved or 1 medium yellow or white onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Sprinkle beef cubes with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Dredge in flour to coat.
- Put 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in the pan over medium-high heat. Add half the beef cubes and brown on all sides, for about 5 minutes. It is not necessary to cook the beef all the way through yet. Repeat with the second batch. Set the beef aside.
- In the same pan that the beef was browned in, add 1/4 cup of the wine and scrape the bottom, allowing some of the liquid to evaporate. Add herbs, mushrooms, pearl onions or diced onion, celery, carrots, and 1 more tablespoon of olive oil and cook for about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Pour everything from the pan into the slow cooker. Add the rest of the wine, the stock, the rest of the salt, the bay leaf, the potatoes and the beef cubes. Cook on high for 4 to 6 hours, or on low for 8 hours.

Hey everybody,
Creamy lip colors are the current trend isn't it? L'oreal shine caresse and Maybelline lip polishes are the new flame in town. So, I went to the nearby store, tried the Maybelline lip polishes and bought 2 shades glam 2 and glam 6. Here you are reading the glam 6 review.
Price: INR 450 for 5 ml
About Maybelline Lip Polish Glam:
Fall under the spell of the elixir effect
Hyper-saturated color, ultra cushiony feel
The new hypnotic lip sensation
Why You'll Love It
- A trio of concentrates delivers the color of a lipstick, the cushiony care of a balm, and the glass shine of a gloss
- Our exclusive smoothing angora brush delivers a polished , even application and smoothing sensation to lips
For Best Results
Apply lipcolor with applicator wand starting in the center of your upper lip. Work from the center to the outer edges of your lip, following the contours of your mouth. Then glide across the entire bottom lip.
My experience with Maybelline Lip Polish Glam 6:
Having dry lips, I always love anything creamy or balmy in texture so the texture was the first attraction for me in these lip polishes. These are like creamy lipsticks, neither a gloss nor a full opaque lipstick. I love its thick consistency; I always prefer these over sheer lip glosses.
There are so many shades in this range -pinks, mauves, nude ones, one red and then this one. This is a berry shade. I haven't bought this kind of a shade before thinking it would be too dark or bold but since this one was in cream consistency there was a thought in my mind that if it turned out dark I could tone it down by applying a sheer layer. Then when I brought it home and tried- it looked very pretty- a shade that instantly brought glow to my face. I club it with black kohled eyes but for the swatches I am wearing nothing on the face but this lip cream. This is a full on evening glam lip shade. It does not contain any shimmer which is another plus point for me as I don't like shimmers in my lip products.
Another good thing is that the applicator is very impressive. It is called the 'Angora brush' by Maybelline. Its shape and surface eases even application on the lips and feels very soft and cushiony kind. I like this applicator better than the straight looking applicator that comes in most of the lip glosses.
Staying power is also pretty good for this particular shade. After some time of application it stains the lips (in a good way) and even if you eat something and it transfers, the color still remains. Wear a similar shade lip liner all over the lip and wear this on top for even longer staying power. It does not have any offending smell associated with itself.
Overall, this particular shade is a complete love for me; pretty berry shade, creamy texture, and applicator everything is superb. Other lighter shade may not remain for long and transfer as most of the creamy lipcolors do.
P.S. Refer the hand swatch for shade identification; the face pic is taken in sunlight and the lip color appears to be a bit lighter than what it is in reality.
What I like about Maybelline Lip Polish Glam 6:
- The pretty berry shade.
- Awesome creamy texture; treat for dry lips.
- Thoughtful applicator.
- No offensive smell.
- Variety of shades.
- Reasonable pricing.
- Attractive packaging.
- Lip color stains the lips in a good way and does not vanish completely on eating or drinking something.
What I don't like about Maybelline Lip Polish Glam 6:
- Other shades from this range do not stay for long.
Rating: 4.5/5
Until next time, take care!
Have you tried Maybelline Lip Polish Glam 6?

techie stuff, gadgets, photography, and BlogEngine.NET
For the bloggers out there who have no or little background in HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) but would like to have a temporary break from using their blogging software's WYSIWYG editors in writing posts to instead give the 'raw HTML' option a try, I've prepared a collection of some useful HTML tags and attributes to help one get started. Hopefully, this will stir the interest of some, enough to make them join me in further exploring the world of web development.
HTML Overview
As you might have already known by now, HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language-the language for coding web pages. These HTML instructions (markup) are the ones that direct web browsers (such as Firefox) how the contents of our web pages are to be displayed on the screen. To illustrate, let us consider the sample code shown below:

Welcome to my site.

Welcome to my site.
Looking at the Code View vs. the Browser View, one can easily see what set of instructions the code directed the browser to display. The
...
 element tells the browser that the text enclosed within the tag should be displayed as a paragraph. It also uses the 'style' attribute to, in addition, tell the browser that the font should be in blue.
From the above example, we can also say then that elements and attributes are the basic components of an HTML code. Elements describe every piece of text in our pages. They are made up of tags (<tag>...</tag>) and the content within those tags. Attributes, on the other hand, allow variety in how an element describes content or works.
There is still a third component called entities. These are special characters that you can display on your web page, an example of which is the less than (<) sign . For this to be displayed in the above example, the < entity was used.
Now armed with a basic understanding of HTML, let us now explore it a bit further through working on the sample codes listed below the next time we write our posts.
Working with Paragraphs and Texts
style (specifies an inline style to an element)syntax: style="property: value; property: value;"some examples (properties and values):font-family: Verdana,sans-serif (etc.);color: Green (or other colors); text-align: right (or left, center, justify);font-size: x-large (or medium, small, etc.)

This is the first sentence of this paragraph.
This is the next sentence of this paragraph.

Back At It.
I finished writing a new pattern tonight, just waiting on the photoshoot tomorrow, please oh please let the sun come out. This is a design that's been in my head for over 20 years! I'm so glad to get it out and un-clutter my brain a bit.
And do you remember this?
I had started quilting it, hated it, threw it out and last night I re-drew it as a stitchery. Oh the bliss - I love it much better.
One thing I have been doing over the past couple of weeks, is thinking about my little design business. Re-defining my goals, solidifying what I want to make - and I've come to the conclusion that what I really love is hand embroidery. Taking a drawing and seeing it come to life with needle and floss is my greatest love. I also love coloring it in with crayon, so you'll see more of that! I still do love applique, and I'm sure there are more applique quilts in my future, but embroidery is my passion. It feels good to finally acknowledge that, to see myself a little more clearly.
I've also been able to get around and visit you all a bit - what fun that was!!! I'm not planning any more trips in the near future, so I'm sure I'll be around a bit more and won't get another 500 posts stacked up in my reader - lol!
See you soon!

I really like the whirly twirly applique but I think when we leave something by the time we get back to it our tastes have often changed! I shall be interested to see it worked up as an embroidery :-) xx

Your sticheries always make me smile, you create such sweet designs, I can see why they make you happy to sew. 500 blogposts to catch up on?! No wonder it's taken you a while to start sewing after your trip. Lol.

Love your designs! Wish I had that talent! I love to embroider, too, and manage to get a little accomplished in between other hand projects. Sometimes I embroider while traveling back and forth to Tx and have made some cute projects. Have a happy day!XO

I'm biased in loving everything you do, but from a designer standpoint it's wonderful to hear that you've gotten insight about what you truly enjoy and want to pursue! That brings even more to the table. You're amazing my dear friend. x

I love Whirly twirly as an applique - why not both? :) applique and embroidery and leave the option open to the purchaser :) Like you, my first love is embroidery, but I do like to dabble with something different once in awhile.
So glad your feet are staying planted for a bit. You have been missed :) Hope and pray everything else if falling into place. xoxo

It's nice to evaluate what one likes and what one wants to do. Good for you. I find that I'm a slow embroiderer and slow in just about everything else. I need to sew to get things done.
Your latest design is very nice embroidered or appliqued.

I love your drawings and embroidery. So glad you are back :-)

Threw it out? Literally? Oh, she moans, no! That's a darling block! I could have made the cutest children's quilt based around it. LOL I do like it as a stitchery. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on what direction you're going. Isn't it funny how something can stare us in the face for a long time and we don't really pay any attention? ;)
- August 27, 2015 at 7:01 AM
- Sandra :) said...
I agree with Sharon - our tastes DO change and I think that's a reason, sometimes, why we have UFOs that we just can't bear to work on. I'm reminded of my hunter green addiction years ago, and the quilt blocks I gave away because HOLY COW THAT'S A LOT OF HUNTER GREEN! (not to mention every counter, light fixture, tile and carpet in my house, lol) ;)
Twirly Whirly will be lovely as an embroidery - and it isn't work if you're doing what you love :)

It's good when things solidify in our brain, as to what we like and what we truly want to spend our time on. That makes it easier to get around to it! I've been doing some thinking about that too, because my dear son pointed out that I'm not getting any younger and I might want to start doing what I really want to do!
Your stitcheries are so sweet and charming! No wonder you like to do them. Hope you can get your photos soon.

RUSSELLS Coastal Garden Centre Café has been voted the Café of the Year by Observer readers.
The Birdham restaurant moved from runner-up in 2014 to winner in this year's competition.
A delighted Rob Petsinger and his wife Caroline have managed the café for the past three years.
Rob said, "We're thrilled, we're really, really happy that's worked out for us.
"We put some effort into that this year."
In addition to homemade cakes, loose-leaf tea, and coffee, Russells Café now has a premium level lunch menu.
"We've expanded our selection of meals really and we offer a dinner quality meal for lunch," Rob explained.
"It's the homemade aspect, but more than that, we pride ourselves on the service aspect.
"The table service helps us build a great relationship with our customers."
The café was set up by Russells Garden Centre owners Lesley and Richard Philips although it is now a separate business.
"It's a very symbyotic relationship," said Rob.
"We're very, very popular and that keeps people coming in every week."
Business is going well with ten of the 17 staff often working at once and Rob has no plans to rest easy.
He said: "Our goal would be to be in the top 10 on Trip Advisor and carrying on offering homemade fresh food from our kitchen."
Second place was awarded to the Aldwick Beach Café in Bognor Regis, while The Exclusive Cake Shop and Vintage Tea Rooms on North Street, Chichester, came third in the competition.

Nevertheless, I feel the main purpose is the comfort of reserving a flight from your individual personal laptop that fascinates the buyer to a do-it-yourself attitude In lieu of this reality, it's obvious that an online travel company is a good suggestion for a enterprise alternative to help these customers with journey planning and different customer support points that they may still want.

Poker Hand Analysis Software
EZAnalyzer is the first poker software for doing structured hand analysis, helping you create entire hand analyses with ease.
With each hand you analyze with EZAnalyzer your skill will improve, and soon you will start crushing your opponents!
This is the most efficient and quickest way to improve your poker game.
Download the free open beta now!
Analyzing your hand history is made easy:
- Find a hand in you favorite poker tracking software*.
- Import the hand into EZAnalyzer with one click.
- View the hand details and replay the hand.
- Assign ranges to actions.
- Add notes explaining your ranging.
- Save the analysis for later.
- Export the analysis summary to HTML.
EZAnalyzer is a new kind of Poker analysis software for conducting more effective session reviews, giving you the perfect level of detail going beyond a simple equity calculator or range editor, but keeping things simple without getting into complicated GTO concepts like decision trees or mixed strategies. Finally, a tool that structures and streamlines your hand reviews, while providing helpful automation and calculations just as they are needed:
- Auto assignment of ranges to preflop actions according to your rules.
- Auto assignment of ranges to postflop defense actions, narrowing ranges either by pot-odds or using balanced unexploitable frequencies. EZAnalyzer ranks combos by equity vs. adjusted attack range. You can select a percentage of combos to defend, minimum equity to defend, or manually select any combos you choose.
- More power features on the future road-map via auto-updates!
|Manual Hand Analysis
|Correct hand analysis process might be difficult and slow
|Structures and streamlines the hand analysis process, and forces you to think in ranges
|Coordinating different tools (Word-Processor, Range-Editor, Snapshot-Capturer, Equity-Calculator, Arithmetic-Calculator, …)
|No orderly way for saving all the different ranges throughout the hand for later refinement
|One click to save the analyzed scenario, you can refine the ranges later
|No clear format for summarizing the analysis
|One click to export a summary of your analyzed scenario
*All-in-one Example: Suppose we want to range a flop cbet call vs. a competent reg.
Before today, we would use a calculator to find the Min-Defense-Frequency, and the matching number of combos to defend (possibly adjusted). Then, we would open a Range Editor and manually fill what we think are the best combos to defend until we reach this number. Then, we would take a screenshot of the Range and paste it in a Word document, and add a note explaining our ranging. We could save the document, but if we later want to change a range we will have to start rebuilding that range from scratch…
With EZAnalyzer it is, well… easy! Navigate to flop cbet call, click on the call action, Range Editor opens, and is auto populated with the correct number of combos to defend according to MDF (the selection of specific combos is also auto-optimized per street and SPR!). Adjust the percentage or specific combos, write your notes in the editor, save it, open it later and change only one combo if you like…
Supported Platforms, Games and Software
EZAnalyzer runs on any desktop: PC/Windows, Mac, Linux
The Beta test version supports No-limit Hold'em cash game hand histories converted by PokerTracker 4 or HoldermManager 2, where the action went heads-up between hero and villain postflop.
Feedback? email@example.com
It is a good tool to show you how high up in your range you are on certain flop textures, potentially helping to stop over-folding or over-calling.
I think you have the only product on the market for doing this type of analysis. I am a full time player and this type of analysis is extremely tedious to do.
Not only can I bring up a fish range vs a strong player range, I can see why a play is really bad v those ranges. This is excellent because I can do this range manipulation and analysis very quickly! I'm very happy I downloaded and used the program. I plan on adding this tool to… Continue reading PokerBotProgrammer On reddit

Established in 2015, Siteline Cabinetry offers many options to individuals interested in remodeling their storage spaces, whether it's a bathroom, kitchen, or mudroom. Regardless of budget, Siteline Cabinetry offered several advantages over big chain stores:
Faster Turnaround- When an individual works with Siteline Cabinetry and orders custom cabinets, the order can be started immediately by the carpenter when the designs are submitted. Many of the popular dimensions have already been figured for a more efficient turnaround.
Setting A Budget- Working with a smaller company such as Siteline Cabinetry actually means sticking to a budget and getting more cabinet for better quality at the same price as a lesser made cabinet.
High Tech- Just because Siteline Cabinetry is a smaller, custom build shop does not mean that they are not abreast of the latest trends in high tech storage and building practices. It can be considered the best of traditional and modern techniques.
When an individual enters the shop or reaches out online, the staff can also educate the customer on the latest trends in cabinetry such as high tech integration of electrical device storage, design trends (Shaker style, glass fronts, and clean lines in basic colors like white or grey are the latest), horizontal cabinetry, and the many options of colors, textures, and treatments when dealing with custom orders.
Siteline Cabinetry goes above and beyond to offer quality made, custom cabinetry to suit the most diverse personalities. After all customizing to suit the customers needs is what turns a house into a welcoming home.

Tigard's Miller takes butterfly to freestyle win
TIGARD — The 500-yard freestyle event is challenging enough.
But, when the Tigard High School swim team hosted Canby in a Three Rivers League dual meet, Tiger junior Ben Miller wanted even more of a challenge.
So, prior to the start of the 500 freestyle, Miller got up on the starting blocks, just like all of their competitors in the race.
The horn sounded, and everyone took off. All of the other competitors got off to a splashing start, but, all eyes turned to Miller.
Instead of using the traditional freestyle stroke, Miller took off using the butterfly stroke — and he didn't stop.
For all 500 yards of the race, Miller stuck with the butterfly.
And he swam to an impressive victory using the butterfly, winning the 500 freestyle in a time of 5 minutes, 10.58 seconds, giving him a win by nearly 1:20.
"I always try to push my limits," Miller said at the end of the meet. "I kinda wanted to do a 500 butterfly. I like to challenge myself, and I thought it went well."
Despite Miller's victory in the 500 freestyle, the young Tigard boys were edged 93-77 by Canby at last week's meet. The loss moves the Tigers to 0-3 in Three Rivers League meets.
The Tigard girls came away with a 103-67 victory over the Cougars, giving the Tigers a 1-2 mark in TRL meets.
For Miller, swimming in the butterfly event is nothing new. In fact, he swam to third place in the 100 butterfly finals at last year's Class 6A state swimming championships, setting a new Tigard school record with his mark of 50.38 seconds in that race.
"This year, I'm looking to set a district record in the 100 fly," Miller said. "That's a goal for this year."
Well, if last week's 500 freestyle/butterfly challenge is any indication, then Miller could be well on his way to reaching that goal. In the 500 freestyle, Miller, swimming the butterfly stroke, was in control from beginning to end. And, when he finished the race, he got a loud ovation from the crowd at the Tigard Swim Center.
"That was a good feeling," Miller said. "I think everyone understood that it wasn't easy."
In addition to winning the 500 freestyle, Miller also swam to victory in the 200 individual medley in a time of 1:58.48. He also swam for a pair of winning Tigard relay teams.
In the 200 freestyle relay, Miller teamed with junior Cameron Williamson, senior Nicholas Ung and junior Ryan Wilkinson to pick up a victory in 1:39.09. In the 400 freestyle relay, the Tigard team of Miller, senior Joey Cavalli, Williamson and Ung won with a mark of 3:47.88.
"I'm definitely having a lot of fun," Miller said. "High school swimming is awesome in that way. All of the team spirit gets you going."
Williamson also was second in the 100 freestyle in 57.15 and he was the runner-up in the 50 freestyle at 25.27. Cavalli was second in the 100 butterfly in 1:03.90 and he was second in the 100 backstroke at 1:09.83. Senior Karim Bukres was second in the 500 freestyle in 6:28.03.
For the Tigard girls, junior Sahana Saravanan was a two-time winner at the meet. She had a winning time of 2:23.56 in the 200 individual medley and she triumphed in the 100 breaststroke with a mark of 1:15.67.
Also for the Tiger girls, junior Kaitlyn Wornath was victorious in the 100 butterfly in a time of 59.96. She also took second in the 50 freestyle in 26.83.
Junior Catherine Frisiras had a winning mark of 5:46.21 in the 500 freestyle. She also was second in the 200 freestyle with a time of 2:10.13.
In the 200 freestyle relay, the Tigard team of freshman Jaime Cavalli, junior Elizabeth Perrin, freshman Jenna Ketchum and freshman MacKenzie Guentert swam to victory in a time of 1:54.09.
Also for the Tigard girls, sophomore Emma Vu was second in the 100 breaststroke in 1:17.87 and senior Laurel Soderquist sprinted to second place in the 100 freestyle in 1:02.04.
The Tigard teams will be back in action today (Thursday), when they host Newberg and St. Mary's Academy (girls only) in a Three Rivers League meet starting at 4 p.m. at the Tigard Swim Center.

PLATTSBURGH - The Battle of Plattsburgh Commemoration Committee is giving people a taste of what's to come with its annual Taste of the Tavern.
Kate Besaw, who oversees the event for the committee, explained Taste of the Tavern is a sampling of fare to be offered at the Battle of Plattsburgh Commemoration Weekend this September.
"We give people a taste of how people ate back then," said Besaw, referring to the early 1800s. "They ate was produced on the farm and the meat was what they could trap or shoot."
"There was no Price Chopper," Besaw added, with a laugh.
This year, there will be six stations with two dishes available at each station, said Besaw, featuring entrees including slow-roasted chicken, steak, sausages and seafood - all prepared with this September in mind.
"We have surveys for people to rate the overall taste and desirability of each dish," explained Besaw. "The highest-rated dishes become part of the actual menu for the Israel Green Tavern in September."
The September tavern, named after a Quaker tavernkeeper during the early 1800s, almost takes as much preparation as the one next weekend. Taste of the Tavern takes months of preparation, said Besaw, from planning the menu to outlining the shopping list. But it's not all in vain when Besaw and her band of faithful volunteers hear the positive feedback from those who attend the event.
"It's a tremendous amount of planning, but it's fun because the community gets involved," said Besaw. "That's why we continue to do this."
Besaw noted even though the event focuses on food of yesteryear, she keeps in mind people with food allergies and special diets.
"We also have vegetarian and gluten-free dishes. We do have to be sensitive to current dietary needs," she said.
Taste of the Tavern will be held next Saturday, March 27, at The Burgundy Room, 770 State Route 3. The event will be held from 5-9 p.m., with the cost of admission $15 per person. Musical entertainment will be provided by Towne Meeting and those attending are encouraged to dress in clothing of the 19th century.
For more information, contact Besaw at 314-6632.

Haha I bet you're wondering what I'm going to be writing about today based on the title!! Get your minds out of the gutter!! I'm talking about PLANTS today!!
I've been wanting a plant in the living room since the beginning of time! It just adds an organic looking element to the room! We've been flip flopping over whether or not to get a real plant or an artificial one! A real one seems like a lot of work... but real is obviously REAL, therefore better! My Dad has a billion plants and offered us one of his! Yippee... guess that made our decision easy! Until.... we discovered that our windows have this protective film that filters out UV rays. We have one tiny little lucky bamboo plant that we got as a wedding favor like 5 years ago. It's the only living plant we've ever had besides that little Pine tree we had momentarily at Christmas! It thrived in our old house but is slowly dying at this house! It's right in the window and gets light all day long but all the leaves have turned yellow! After talking to a friend and doing some research, many plants can turn yellow from the lack of UV. Hmmm... dying yellow plant isn't going to look so good in my living room! So I guess it's back to artificial plant!!
So after dragging 2 or 3 different fake trees home, I think we have finally decided on one for our space! Some were too small, too ugly, too expensive... but this one seems just right! Haha sounds like Goldilocks and the 3 trees!! Well almost just right!! The tree itself looks good but the pot it comes in is hideous!! It's like tribal pot gone moldy wrong! I can't see that pot looking good with any decor! Luckily I knew with a quick coat of paint it could be saved!! Here's what it looked like before:
After a couple layers of trusty $0.99 acrylic paint, this is what it now looks like:
Not too shabby huh? Our living room is starting to look more and more complete everyday! Kalbs wanted to be part of the pic!!
Just need window coverings and something in the other corner! Any ideas people?
I was thinking a round table in the corner! What do you think? And artwork? Yikes!! I am in a total artwork dilemma with this room! I want to put something up above the sofa... BUT.... the sofa is not centered to the wall! So do I center the artwork to the wall or the sofa? If I move the sofa then it won't be centered to the chairs and window parallel to it. Does that make sense? Am I over thinking this? HELP I need ideas!! I want this room finished! I am so over it!

Haha I'm all about fake plants :) Nothing survives in this household (except my kids)! But fake plants means dusting them every now and again...but then you can travel and don't have to worry about having someone come water them!ReplyDelete
Ooooh I totally wanted a tree too! Tell us where you got your good looking fake plant!! And yes your room looks great Mary!ReplyDelete
The plant is from the happiest place on Earth... Homesense!!!ReplyDelete

That in 1933 an entrepreneur by the name of Charles Viard built the first cable car in Megeve specifically designed for skiers. The old cable car has since been replaced but the old one can be seen at the entrance to the village.
That Allards, the smart clothes shop in the square, designed the stirrup type ski trousers which were all the fashion 50 years ago.
That the local boy, Emile Allais, who won all three events at the 1937 World Championship and the gold in the combined event in 1938, died last year at the age of 100.

dear x
dear manufacturers of 12x12 paper,
please cease and desist manufacturing paper. i have enough already and am not strong enough to resist the temptation of buying more. i need to use all the beauties that i already have, so back off.
dear paper handling clerks at michaels, jo-anns, hobby lobby, etc.,
please do not manhandle my individual pieces of paper like you are wrangling an alligator to it's death. they are sweet, innocent, defenseless pieces of paper who i'm certain mean you no harm. be kind. be gentle. put on your white gloves before you touch my paper and give me a nervous breakdown.
dear joann.com,
please find my two orders that i placed online THREE WEEKS AGO. what? seriously. whatever weird way you shipped them, no one can find them. i wish i'd known it would take this long, so i could have built my own machinery from scraps to manufacture my very own products that i tried to buy from you.
dear my homemade chocolate chip cookies,
please stop tempting me to eat two of you every day.
dear soon-to-be-born my goddaughter baby mckenna,
i cannot wait to meet you and dress you up in skull and crossbones gear and and black tutus. it will be just lovely.

new to the club
amid some health issues i've been experiencing lately, i was referred to a chiropractor/nutritionist tonight and i quite enjoyed the experience, i must say. he was a super nice and enthusiastic guy and i felt more like we were going to figure this out in the first five minutes then i have by any of the five, yes FIVE, doctor's appointments i have had in the past month.
in addition to the adjustment that he did, we did some acupuncture! it was weird and wild and not nearly as bad as i could have ever guessed. he was nice enough to use the smallest needles on this acupuncture virgin.
this was on the ceiling, which normally i would be tempted to disregard entirely. but since i had a slightly panicky, wanna run and get these needles outta me feeling, i took the 30 minutes to actually read the poster and spend time thinking about each phrase. i got an amazing, surprising sense of peace and calm today. it was awesome, and i'm feeling so good right now. about my health, and my life and my being.
which really is incredible, seeing as how i just had a needle jammed into my skull by a stranger.
