Fox & Friends co-host Gretchen Carlson walked off the show's set on Thursday morning after her co-host Brian Kilmeade made a sexist comment.
The comment came after Fox & Friends' Steve Doocy finished an interview with the Navy Sea Chanters, which had been all-male until 1980.
"Women are everywhere," Kilmeade said. "We're letting them play golf and tennis now. It's out of control."
"You know what?" Carlson said as she stood up and walked away. "You know what? You read the headlines, since men are so great. Go ahead."
"All right. Finally," Kilmeade responded. "An all male crew."
As Carlson walked off camera, she appeared to be smiling and had a friendly tone, leaving some to speculate that the event was staged. But others believe she was merely masking her anger.

Township Committee Representatives Champion One Stop Shop EstablishmentJul 3, 2015
[Ha Noi, Viet Nam – July 3] Six representatives from township development support and municipal affairs committees currently part of a Myanmar delegation to explore one stop shops in Mongolia and Viet Nam say they can play a key role to support the set-up of similar structures in Myanmar.
The representatives are from the township committees recently awarded with H.E. President Thein Sein prize for best performance. They believe they can advocate for one stop shops with their local administration officials and lobby for these to be implemented in their localities, as well as play a key role in raising the awareness of people living in their areas on the benefits of one stop shops and once implemented, monitor how these operate.
Township Development Support Committees and Township Municipal Affairs Committees play a key role in local development. They were created by a Presidential Notification in February 2013 and constitute an important part of Myanmar's democratic reforms, emphasizing a bottom up and participatory approach. In the absence of general elections at township level, the committees are an important link between the people and the Government. Unfortunately these committees are rather unknown among the people. The nationwide local governance mapping conducted by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and the General Administration Department which took stock of local governance and how people in Myanmar accessed public services, revealed that out of the over 6000 people interviewed, only 4% had knowledge of the township development committees.
The group that received the President's award are an exception and are well known in their communities. The committee representatives – Tin Win (Pakoku), La Hakri Zaw Bauk (Myitkyina), Mi Htoi Zaw Latt (Myitkyina), Hla Han (Monywa), Maung Maung (Monywa) and Ye Htut (Pakoku) - shared the reason behind their success.
"Before implementing development projects, such as the construction of roads or other infrastructure projects, starts the members of our Township Development Support Committee visits the area of the proposed intervention, together with the members of the township or ward administration. We speak to the Village Tract Development Support Committees, the people living in the area, we listen to them and respond to their questions. Only when their concerns have been taken on board, and adequate explanations have been provided, the development project starts. This way, there is coordination and cooperation between the public and government officials," said U Tin Win, Chairperson of the Township Municipal Affairs Committee in Pakoku, Magway Region.
One Stop Shops for Greater Efficiency
The Myanmar Government has announced the setup of 72-74 offices combining a number of departments in one building with a one stop shop located in the ground floor during 2015.
The committee representatives agreed that one stop shops would be beneficial and emphasized that a broad consultation is important before the one stop shops are set-up.
"In Mongolia as in Vietnam, we saw that one stop shops provided different services depending on their location. Similarly, in Myanmar, there needs to be public consultation in local areas to determine which services are most sought after by people.
The one stop shops can then be set up to address the specific needs of a certain locality," said U Maung Maung, Chairperson of the Township Development Support Committee in Monywa, Sagaing Region.
The Chairperson of the Township Municipal Affairs Committee in Myitkyina, U Mi Htoi Zaw Latt, said that due to the large number of motor cycles in Kachin State, Government had brought all the services related to registering a motor bike under one roof in each and every township, cutting the time spent by people seeking to register motor bikes.
"The needs in each state and region will be different. The One Stop Shops must provide the most requested services in our local areas in addition to a basic set of services," he said.
The township committee members emphasized that the success of one stop shops will depend largely on clear guidelines on how these should operate as well as appropriate training and remuneration for staff. "One stop shops will be great and will save people so much time and money in going from different offices to get official work done. However, one stop shops will only work if government selects the right staff, provides the right training and guidelines and salaries." said U Hla Han, Chairperson of Township Development Support Committee in Monywa, Sagaing Region.
"In order for one stop shops to function efficiently, we need to change the mindsets of civil servants and also that of township development as well as municipal affairs committee members," Ye Htut, Chairperson of the Township Development Support Committee in Pakoku, Magway Region.
The Secretary of the Township Development Support Committee in Myitkyina, La Hkri Zaw Bawk said that committee members could have a monitoring role and with the help of the media ensure that one stop shops function the way they are supposed to.
UNDP supported the study visit to Mongolia and Vietnam to facilitate learning on how one stop shops were set up, how they function and the challenges they face.
"It is great that government requested UNDP to also invite representatives from the public as those committee members are, to participate in the study tour together with government, to learn more about one stop shops. It shows that government considers the opinions of its people as an important contribution before implementing reforms that have impact in their communities. This would not have been possible even a year ago," said Anki Dellnas, UNDP Local Development and Governance Specialist.
The Myanmar delegation of 31 officials is led by U Tin Myint, Deputy Director General of General Administration Department. He is accompanied by the Deputy Director General U Bharat Singh from President's Office (no 6), Deputy Director General U Than Naing Tun, Ministry of Immigration and Population and a wide range of senior civil servants from the General Administration Department; Ministry of Health; Ministry of Education; Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation; Ministry of Environmental Conservation and Forestry; Ministry of Finance; Ministry of Information and Technology; as well as state/region government representatives from Ayeyarwady, Bago, Chin, Shan, Kayah, Kayin, Kachin, Magway, Mandalay, Nay Pyi Taw, Mon, Sagaing, Tanintharyi and Yangon. Also part of the delegation are the six township development committee members.
The study visit, complete with site visits to urban, rural and remote one stop shops and meetings with governments at different levels and implementing agencies, concluded today.

BEIJING (IG News) — Millions of young Chinese women are clamoring to wear Ugg-Li boots, this season's hottest fashion trend.
"I love my Ugg-Li boots, they're so cool, they're hot," said noted Beijing fashionista, Feicheng Buhao, "I predict this will be hotter than bowl cut bangs and eyeglasses with no lenses!"
Ugg-Li, a joint venture of Australia's Ugg Boots Pty Ltd and China's Gei Li Enterprises, launched the boots when a miscommunication resulted in the original Ugg design being manufactured inside-out.
"When life hands you wombats, make koalas, as we say down under," commented Pavlova Lammington, chief designer at Ugg, "Ugg-Li boots are today's to-die-for fashion item."
"Next, we will launch in world markets," said Gei Li CEO Dadong Kaoya, "Ugg-Li boots are going to be the next big Chinese export following the global success of 'made by China' high-speed rail controllers!"
In other news, Air China announced today "the probability of interesting in-flight video is inversely proportional to the length of delay before boarding."

This week I started a 30 day challenge issued at our church's marriage conference this past weekend. The challenge? Pray this each day. "God, show me one way You want me to love my spouse today and give me the courage to do whatever You show me." Wait. Listen. Act.
Why accept this challenge? Because my marriage is currently meatloaf and I want STEAK. Join me in this little challenge, if you'd like, and see how God moves you and your marriage.
Now the promise... I promise to bring you more original content and to post nothing if I don't have anything worth saying. Your time is precious and I want to honor whatever little bit you spend with me.
Happy Weekend. How will you be brave in the days ahead? xo


text: Hello all, thank in advance for any help, and i appreciate any help i get. im in a league and use the WCP mod, im ok with setups, ad struggle with the 3rd spring. at the moment i just set the spring to the hardest setting, and the damper settings to 1, because i dont know much about it. but i have a theory. the 3rd spring helps with longitudanal forces and normal springs and dampers help with lateral forces. my theory is, with the 3rd spring setup right, i could then have a lower ride height, which then would have a lower center of gravity, therefore better cornering abilities. i then could have the normal spring and dampers softer to increase grip. which i then could lower the wings, to have a better top speed, and have good cornering. well thats my theory, but cant seem to prove it out on the track, am i missing somethin or got it completly wrong? how could i get a major advantage from the 3rd spring. thanks again.

Munenori Kawasaki is back! Earlier this afternoon it was reported that the fan favourite had re-upped with the club by signing a minor league deal. But while some rejoiced, others groaned "here we go again."
On one side, there are those who are taking this signing for it is and having fun with it. This move doesn't materially improve the team's chances at securing a playoff berth, but it provides some much needed depth at shortstop. On the other side, there are those who want to remind everyone that Munenori Kawasaki is not a good player. While there is certainly merit to what this is side is saying, it goes a little too far when his on-the-field value is dismissed entirely.
Shooting Down the "Clubhouse Guy Only" Myth
League average SS (2013): .254/.308/.367 (85 wRC+)
M. Kawasaki (2013): .229/.326/.308 (78 wRC+)
Kawasaki's bat is nothing to write home about, but you can say that about a lot of shortstops in baseball right now. Looking at his line in isolation will make you cringe, but when you look at what the position in general is doing, it looks a lot more acceptable. In fairness, he did show a fairly wide platoon split last season and the overwhelming majority of his plate appearances came against RHP, so it may be appropriate to adjust down. But we are talking about a 54 PA sample and a .194 BABIP. That seems unreasonably low, even if you think he's more of a .230-.250 BABIP hitter vs. LHP than a .300 BABIP hitter. We're splitting hairs now and he'd still be horrible vs. LHP with some positive regression, so I'll just say I think he's a safe bet to be in the 70-75 wRC+ range if he gets close to 300 PA again (let's hope he doesn't though).
Defensively he graded out well enough by both DRS (2) and UZR (0.4) and provided some value on the bases as well (2.1 runs by FanGraphs). Put it all together and you're looking at a player who was worth somewhere between 0.8 (fWAR) and 1.3 (bWAR) wins over 289 PA over last season. Would he maintain that pace over 600 plate appearances? No. Is he a starter? No. Is he a guy whose value lies solely in his clubhouse presence? No.
The reason why Kawasaki is valuable to this team is because, should something happen to Reyes again (knock on wood), he's not going to kill you, whereas the guys who were next in line before this signing just might. He's not nearly the game-changer that Reyes is, but he's not a black hole either. Reyes is the type of player who pushes you towards the dream and changes the fortunes of your franchise. Kawasaki is the type of player that keeps you in it until you get him back.
Even if he's only a glorified insurance policy, he has value beyond his off-the-field antics. He may not deserve the praise he gets sometimes (or even the 500 words I gave him here), but he does deserve more than "clubhouse guy only" status.

Our very old laptop computer gave up the ghost last night. It just sits there making grinding noises and trying to boot up. Consider that we bought this machine some time before we moved out here near the lake in April '98 it probably was just plain worn out.
At any rate we ordered a new Dell with lots of extra stuff, blue tooth stuff for Linda Lou's phone, photoshop and some other stuff. Did you know that we had to order a telephone modem in a new computer? Seems that city people don't need a modem anymore, it's now those fast things that STILL haven't got our here. Oh, we can get some satellite thing for a hundred dollars a month but no DSL yet. This is the price one pays for not knowing what kind of music the neighbors listen to, I reckon.
Anyhow I won't be around much until after the new computer gets here, Linda Lou doesn't much like me sitting in her chair, at her computer desk. She has everything arranged just so.
Please do not think I will get the new computer, though, I will get the E-Machine from out here. If I use the proper combination of bribes and begging I might be able to use Photoshop once in a while though. Note: Please do not make any remarks about how this or that brand is better. Too late. I have read where Dell has had a few complaints about customer service. Well, these E-Machines have the worst customer service I've ever heard of, I can put up with Texas lefties from Austin (aka the Berkeley of the Plains). The Red Chinese are even worse.
Update: I fixed the laptop, sorta. Seein' as how I had nothing to lose I took the cover off the cooling fan of the laptop and blew the foo out of it with canned air. I put the cover back on and it sort of works now. I'm pretty sure that it's still on it's last legs because it's making all kinds of noises that it's not supposed to. And it will suddenly start going and going with the four lights lit and the stupid hourglass on the screen when nobody told it to do anything.
If it just lasts 'til the new one gets here...The exciting thing is that I managed to pull the panel off and put it back on without losing anything or giving my moustache an Afro from shocking myself.

...and brought back a poem.
Only thing is, the poem didn't come for about four months.
I was sitting on the beach about two weeks ago (on one of the few sunny days we've had), cloud-watching and got On Not Seeing Inside the Sistine Chapel from the combination of the clouds and remembering our visit to Roma in late February, and how we hadn't come at the right time of day on the Saturday to gain access to see the famous chapel.
You can hear me read the poem at the Qarrtsiluni site, apparently their first Irish accent (cringe). It's my second poem there - anyone interested in the other one, The Angel's Missing Wings, can check this link.

Staff from Savills Rural businesses have travelled thousands of miles across the country to raise £60,000 for Countryside Learning.
Members of staff from Savills' offices across the country covered thousands of miles through non-motorised means, including walking, cycling and canoeing.
Ben Wood, from Savills incoporating Smiths Gore Petworth, said: "Countryside Learning is a very important charity with which Savills has a close relationship.
"It has been great to be part of an event that has not only helped to raise many thousands of pounds, but meant we could enjoy our beautiful countryside along the way."
Across the south-east, teams from the company's Maidstone, Petworth and Haywards Heath offices took part in a 5.5-mile run from Chichester to West Dean, a six-mile walk starting and finishing at Knepp Castle, and a three-mile walk around Petworth Park.
A team also undertook a 40-mile cycle ride through the South Downs, from Parham Park, near Storrington, via Petworth to Goodwood House.
Countryside Learning is a charity which aims to educate and inspire people to enjoy and appreciate the countryside.
Gary Richardson, the chief executive of Countryside Learning, said: "Thanks to the amazing support Savills has given us over the past three years, Countryside Learning has reached over 100,000 children and given them the opportunity to learn, experience and enthuse about the world around them. We can now grow further and enhance our work which is simply fantastic."

I've been working hard this morning, trying to meet some of these deadlines for June. It hasn't been hard, just frustrating because I'm not interested whatsoever in the topics I'm writing about. But pushing to surpass the deadline this week has put really far behind on the stuff I want to write about, like my travel articles and even as many blog posts as I wanted to do. I'm still working on the plans for better blogs posts here and at my other blog, Book Review Bin. But BRB is struggling because I have absolutely no time or desire to read books.
I did, however, manage to escape yesterday and spent the afternoon with a friend. It wasn't anything special, but I felt a lot better and more focused once I got back and started writing again. There's something to say for a refreshed perspective on life.
As long as I can get through this week, spend time with the family this weekend, and then cleanup the rest of the article commitments the week after that, it'll be smooth sailing (and a very light writing schedule) for the last week and a half of June. Then again, free time is really another way of saying time to pack up and clean this apartment.

Greetings! This is Mandi here to share with you some Jenni Bowlin product inspiration. One of my favorite specialty items that Jenni Bowlin offers is any of the chipboard shapes. Particularly, the sun shapes.
The sun shapes can be used as templates to trace over a patterned paper you want to trim and then use to embellish your page, while still keeping the chipboard sun for later use. You can also trace the sun directly onto your page with a boldly colored pen.
I think my favorite way to use the chipboard suns is to lay then down onto cardstock and spray ink over them, creating a base for my entire layout design.
Another option is to trim the shape and simply staple it onto your layout, as Betsy Sammarco has done here: Both ideas are really simple and add a lot of pizazz to your layouts. What kind of ideas do you have for using the chipboard sun shapes?

Arrival stories in anthropology have long been an integral element of disciplinary lore, as they invoke encounters with the Other as well as moments of legitimation, emplacement, and emergence. To this end, has queer anthropology arrived? Most people would answer in the affirmative. Consider the evidence. "Queer anthropology" can now be spotted in course titles and descriptions, as well as, in the past twenty years, in the contents of academic job descriptions and book titles. In addition, we can examine the standard markers of disciplinary historical shifts such as review articles (Fitzgerald 1977; Weston 1993; Boellstorff 2007b) that showcase transitions from the language of homosexuality to gay and lesbian to queer, as well as the renaming of the organization originally known as the Anthropology Research Group on Homosexuality (ARGOH) to the Society of Lesbian and Gay Anthropologists (SOLGA) and, more recently, to the Association for Queer Anthropology (AQA). These institutional transformations not only gesture to varying conceptions of collective identities but also highlight changes in organizational orientation or mission—not just who we are, but also what we do. Notice the significance of the prepositions in the section's various names, such as on in ARGOH, of in SOLGA, and for in AQA, which signify the transformation of the collective as devoted or oriented at various times to a topic, a sense of identification, and finally to an advocacy for a set of methodological or analytical optics under the umbrella "queer."
Arrivals, in whatever form, are never complete or smooth. The shifts and changes I enumerate above are neither trouble-free nor total, as the various essays in this Retrospectives collection demonstrate. Queer anthropology, far from being a monolithic field of inquiry, is shown to be characterized by messy genealogies, incomplete and uncomfortable transitions, divergent strands, and contentious debates. But despite my initial Babel-like characterization, I reemphasize one of the persistent themes in the various essays in this series: the argument that queer anthropology can be productively apprehended as an aspirational field of inquiry. As Margot Weiss (2016, 634) elegantly puts it in her essay, queer studies and queer anthropology are about dreaming of a utopic world(s) to enable ways to imagine, think, or desire "otherwise."
The following essays by Jafari Allen, Ellen Lewin, Scott Morgensen, and Weiss offer trenchant, yet divergent assessments of and frustrations over the wages, travels, and travails of queer anthropology. They demonstrate the multiple itineraries and engagements in this field of inquiry. Indeed, the essays in this collection ask: If queer is an opening, where does it lead and how do we get there—or are we there yet? What would the "there" look like? What are the routes and roots that have enabled us, limited us, and are still propelling us to seek projects and ideas in their names? The essays in this section limn the various ways anthropological ideas, practices, and institutions have arrived (or not) to the portal we call "queer" and the various ways in which those paths and ongoing struggles are marked by discomfort, messiness, and longing.
As a way to think further about this stance, I would like to go back to the idea of an arrival. Queer anthropology's arrival story, as Allen, Morgensen, and Weiss argue in their essays, is a renarration or reworking of disciplinary travel as marked by deferral and continuous transit. The fixing of departures and arrivals in a teleological manner will not work in this instance. The idea of queer as proposed by these authors is one that is in continuous motion. One never really arrives "there," and arrivals are never a done deal. Queer anthropological research is not about reaching and arriving in "the field," since processes such as globalization and colonialism have put this very concept into question. Indeed, the acceptance of queer anthropology as an analytical frame and methodology should not be about its comfortable emplacement in the study of cultural things. It is, rather, about the messy and uncomfortable enmeshment of both anthropologists and the communities they study in the lived realities of life and death, of suffering and exuberance, and therefore, of quotidian mutabilities and contingencies. This enmeshment, in many ways, has always formed part of the ethnographic enterprise. To put such fieldwork realities in queer motion is to heed Tom Boellstorff's (2007a, 3) call to "anthropologize" queer studies, which brings the ethnographic here and a queer there into a kind of uneasy, highly mutable yet productive juxtaposition. Thus, to mark the field not only in terms of what it is but also in terms of what it can be lies at the core of what I have described as the aspirational and desiring orientation of queer studies and queer anthropology. What might this mean to anthropologists, when it applies not only to people who live under the varied signs of LGBT or those who are legible sexual or gender insurgents? It would, I suggest, mean continuing to anthropologize queer studies: engaging in careful ethnographic and sensitive analytical traipsing of, and thinking differently about, messy encounters and challenges, especially in the ways that people are conscripted to go about their lives, open to the possibilities of imagining how they might live otherwise.

BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's defense ministry is demanding price cuts and longer cancellation periods on the A400M military airlifters it has ordered from Airbus, but which will be delivered later and less equipped than planned, a newspaper reported on Sunday.
Bild am Sonntag quoted from a letter from the defense ministry to the finance ministry and the court of auditors, in which it said the ministry was also pushing Airbus to disclose its "further planning and connected project risks".
It has long been known that A400M military airlifters Germany bought would be delivered later than initially planned and would be costlier.
The newspaper said Berlin was pushing for "price reductions for lower performance as well as continued rights to terminate the contracts" and would decide on a case-by-case basis whether to take individual A400Ms depending on their equipment.
A ministry spokesman declined to comment on the report, but said the ministry was in close contact with the company.
The army will receive one plane from Airbus Military in November as planned, but the plane will not have the full military capabilities the army has ordered.

I would only buy Brabantia airers as they are the best quality available. I realized that I had only used the spike with my last installation and therefore bought this concrete tube in plastic . I have asked my usual retailers to stock this item as many people are not aware of it and it makes the installation far more reliable and sturdy.If you are installing the airer in grass then the spike is adequate but a plastic tube is essential for inserting in concrete. in my opinion.Fecha de publicación: 2016-04-13Rated 5 de 5 por Ward de Concrete tube Does exactly what it's meant to do, maybe add a plastic spike to the base to enable easier installation by one person. Personally I think this should be provided with the washing line instead of the one you hammer in.Fecha de publicación: 2014-01-10Rated 4 de 5 por Agent007 de Does the job We had to buy this after buying a replacement for a very old Brabantia rotary dryer elsewhere. The metal tube that came with it would not go into our lawn so we had to order this direct and wait for it to arrive, dig the hole, buy the concrete, following instructions and wait 3 days for it to set. It's great. It works but what a palaver! Why doesn't the dryer come with this? (Or at least detail of the product number to order)Fecha de publicación: 2014-08-05Rated 4 de 5 por Glasscheek de Fits Brabantia rotary lines perfectly The 'tube' fits the airer perfectly and the cap is simple and effective, the tube its self needs to be longer to be set into the cement especially if it's going into a lawn, so as to allow for top soil and grass to regrow, I learnt this the hard way and had to redo it!!! I cut a length of scaffold about 8" and set the tube into that (fits perfectly) now very solid and grass grows around the tube!!!Fecha de publicación: 2015-10-16Rated 4 de 5 por ChrisT65 de A good product but... This rotary clothes drier is well made, well designed and works well. However, the cover supplied in the package was damaged (now replaced) and we had to buy separately, at extra cost, an anchor for concreting the drier into the hole in the patio made for our previous drier. Also, the anchor is enormous compared with the previous patio sleeve, which now means we have to employ someone to do the job - at yet more cost. And we still haven't found anyone prepared to do the work...Fecha de publicación: 2015-05-01Rated 5 de 5 por Jonathan900 de Does the job The unit has been set in concrete and is fine. Has a hinged lid that cannot get lost, a good thing. To set in in the ground I bought a bag of post fixing cement, around £5. This unit is a lot slimmer than a wooden post post so don't make the hole too big, there won't be enough concrete to fill it. Suggest about 6" square.Fecha de publicación: 2014-09-28Rated 5 de 5 por alanp de Excellent Brabantia product I ordered the Brabantia concrete tube for our Topspinner and it arrived in Cyprus well within a week. It's very strong and well made and the instructions for positioning it properly are easy to follow and helpful. The ground spike (concreting in is not necessary for that item) which had been supplied with the Topspinner was easy to place but now we'll have two places to position our clothes dryer.Fecha de publicación: 2016-02-02

At last week's Professional Association for SQL Server (PASS) Summit in Seattle Washington, I got the opportunity to talk to several Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) about their current software offerings and some of their future product plans. One thing that I found really exciting was that even a full year after the its initial release, vendors are still excited about SQL Server 2005, and lot of new SQL Server 2005 products are on the way. However, I was surprised at the number of existing and new products that don't include SQL Server 2005 Express Edition as an installation option. Many vendors are requiring the use of an existing SQL Sever installation for their products. Others are still using MSDE.
I found this trend surprising for several reasons. Just about all of the products I looked at used SQL Server as a data repository, and few, if any, of them require capacity that exceeds the limits of SQL Server 2005 Express. SQL Server 2005 Express supports up to 1GB of RAM and multiple databases of up to 4GB, which enables its use as a data repository for a pretty good-sized application.
Next, in addition to its more-than-adequate capacity, SQL Server 2005 Express licensing and redistribution rights make it easy for ISVs and in-house software providers to include SQL Server 2005 Express with their products. The primary restriction in including SQL Server 2005 Express with a third-party product is that you must add significant functionality beyond what's offered in the product itself. This basically means you can't repackage and resell SQL Server 2005 Express as a database program, but you can freely use it as a database for an application that provides additional functionality. Plus, as part of your installation, you need to make sure that distributors and end users have the ability to read and accept the SQL Server 2005 Express end-user license agreement.
Those are the only real technical requirements. In addition, you need to register for redistribution rights, which essentially means that you notify Microsoft of your intent to redistribute the product. Microsoft has also significantly improved the SQL Server 2005 Express installation process, so it's easier to install than MSDE. The new SQL Server 2005 Express installation process is Windows Installer (MSI) based and supports automated installations.
Any ISV that's distributing applications that use a SQL Server database back end should definitely be planning to include SQL Server 2005 Express as an installation option--as long as the application's requirements don't exceed the capacity of the SQL Server 2005 Express database. For most applications, SQL Server 2005 Express's capacity is more than adequate, plus the licensing and installation capabilities really remove the other potential hurdles. In the end, the most important part is that the option provides customers with more choices, and that's always a plus.
You can find out more information about redistributing SQL Server 2005 Express and register for redistribution rights at: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/express/redistregister.mspx . In addition, you can find information about how to bundle SQL Server 2005 Express as a part of your own installation process at the SQL Server Books Online (BOL) help topic "How to: Install SQL Server 2005 from the Command Prompt" at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx .

FERC has released a final environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Golden Pass LNG Export Project proposed by Golden Pass Products, LLC and Golden Pass Pipeline, LLC.
The EIS was prepared in compliance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Council on Environmental Quality regulations for implementing NEPA (Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] Parts 1500–1508), and FERC regulations implementing NEPA (18 CFR 380). The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency, and U.S. Department of Transportation participated as cooperating agencies in the preparation of the final EIS. The comment period on the draft EIS closed on May 16, 2016, and the final EIS includes responses to those comments.
FERC's environmental staff concluded that construction and operation of the project would result in some adverse and significant environmental impacts; however, most impacts would be reduced to acceptable levels with the implementation of Golden Pass' proposed mitigation and additional measures recommended by staff. This determination is based on a review of the information provided by Golden Pass and further developed from data requests; field investigations; scoping; literature research; alternatives analysis; and contacts with federal, state, and local agencies as well as Indian tribes and individual members of the public. Although many factors were considered in this determination, the principal reasons were:
- Construction and operation of the proposed liquefaction facility would not result in increased LNG vessel traffic (i.e., LNG vessel traffic would not exceed 200 vessels per year considered by the U.S. Coast Guard in its waterway suitability reviews).
- All 2.6 miles of the proposed new pipelines would be looped and would overlap with the adjacent existing pipeline right-of-way, which would minimize new disturbance.
- Golden Pass would mitigate wetland impacts associated with the construction and operation of the proposed liquefaction facility in accordance with the project-specific Compensatory Mitigation Plan.
- The FERC would complete the process of complying with section 7 of the Endangered Species Act prior to construction.
- The FERC staff has completed consultation under section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and implementing regulations at 36 CFR 800 and determined that no historic properties would be affected by the project.
- Golden Pass would comply with all applicable air and noise regulatory requirements during construction and operation of the project.
- Golden Pass would minimize impacts on environmental resources during construction and operation of the project by implementing, as applicable, their Spill Prevention and Response Plan; Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plans; Plan for Unanticipated Discovery of Contaminated Soils or Groundwater; Horizontal Directional Drill Contingency Plan; Compensatory Mitigation Plan; Unanticipated Discovery Plans (for cultural resources); and the FERC's Upland Erosion Control, Revegetation, and Maintenance Plan and Wetland and Waterbody Construction and Mitigation Procedures.
- An environmental inspection program would be implemented to ensure compliance with the mitigation measures that become conditions of the FERC authorization.

Novelist Ken Follett is on a roll. In the past few years he has published one of his most successful novels, World Without End. This was a sequel to Pillars of the Earth which was a 2007 Oprah pick. A Starz mini-series was made of "Pillars" and was well received, and now it has been announced World Without End will also get the mini-series treatment.
All of this has created a clamor from his fans for a new novel and Follett has delivered. His new book Fall of Giants is a sweeping epic that will thrill his fans for hours on end. It is also the start of a trilogy and that "continuation" makes the excitement even more palpable.
Fall of Giants follows in the tradition of Pillars and World in that it assembles a large number of characters, places them against a historic backdrop, and lets evil and goodness do battle. In Fall, the backdrop is World War I and the characters Follett creates are interwoven with actual historical figures such as Woodrow Wilson, Lenin and Winston Churchill.
The story Follett tells stretches from a mining village in Wales to a factory in Russia to the country clubs of New York. At each point there is a cast of characters waiting to tell of their part in the controversial war. We get viewpoints from all of these locales as well as from the French side.
Like any good novelist Follett makes sure the drama of the fictional is equal to the drama of the real. To do this he creates star crossed lovers who are prevented at every turn from celebrating their love. Walter von Ulrich, who is German, is madly in love with Maud Fitzherbert, who is English. The circumstances of the times in which they live play havoc with their romantic feelings and eventually place them on opposite sides in the horrendous conflict between their two countries.
Then there is Gregori Peshkov, a Russian peasant who dreams of a new life in America. He has saved his money for years but when it comes time for him to go he finds himself torn about leaving his brother Lev and a woman he has come to love. He knows that if he hesitates the political events in Russia may prevent him from ever leaving.
And the stories go on and on, filling the pages and jumping into the readers' brains. Follett knows exactly how to tell a tale in order to get the most suspense and emotion from it. In 'Fall' he does it over and over again.
If you have not yet jumped on the Follett bandwagon now is the time to do so. Fall of Giants is a book for you to savor, one in which you can lose yourself for hours on end. It is a big book that tells a big story, but it is one you will not want to end.
Ken Follett is a master craftsman who is just now hitting his full stride. He has had successes before but he has never been so popular or so anticipated. Fall of Giants should be a huge success and will only serve to set up his readers for the next two installments. If they are as good as the first then bring them on quickly.

Year in Review: Weddings and Engagements
From sparkling electric cities like Singapore and Hong Kong, to the natural autumn hues of Sweden, from the old-town charm of Penang, to the modern lines of local hotels, and finally, washed ashore in the beaches of Koh Samui, Pangkor Laut, and Phuket...in these places and spaces, I've discovered lovely moments. From a chance meeting at a teachers' conference, to matching tattoos in hidden away places, to dates at hawker centers, to virtual dates over skype with several thousands of miles in between. From simple getting-to-know-you's by the beach, to a love that grew from biking to and from university together, and after-work bar-stops that started off as an office group thing, and turned into something else.
We've recreated beautiful proposals, from a hot air balloon festival, to a romantic restaurant by the sea where none of the candles he prepared could stay lit, and a simple pyjama proposal done at their shared home. STP had lots of fun telling the many shades of love! (and based on what clients have shared, they had plenty of fun too!)
The celebration day itself is soaked with emotion and little tales, from a father's proud welcome, to a mother's teary congratulations, a child's hungry curiosity, to the "torture-the-boys" games that are played, and all the little teardrops and hugs and smiles in between. Oftentimes, there are crazy things going on throughout the day, but the love is pretty hard to miss.
These are STP's treasure trove of stories for 2012. Real, honest, meaningfully inspired. Looking forward to more gems for 2013!
Enjoy the images! :)

Tutorial at Make the Best of Everything Blog
"I have been a little obsessed with blending frozen fruit, especially bananas to make healthy ice-cream like desserts. Last week, when I was visiting my parents in Chicago, I watched my mom make " Banana Swirl" for my son. She then added other frozen fruits and made several different flavors and froze the frozen treats for later. She added Strawberries, Peaches, Mangos and Pineapple…….Pineapple? Yum! Last year- when I went to Orlando with two of my closest girlfriends to celebrate our 30th birthdays We spent a day " Eating around the world" at Epcot. I finished the day with Disney's famous Pineapple Dole Soft Serve…..So anyway, the wheels in my head a-got- to- turning".... Read more

Had to cancel plans to talk to Forgemaster. Doing that tomorrow.
I had dinner at my parent's house tonight. It was good seeing them. My father is a beer snob and so am I, the difference being that he's a snob for the hops filled bitter bastard beers. I like my beer with actual flavor. We started out complaining about how one of us has no taste, as always. Of course, it so happened on this lovely night that the coleslaw wouldn't be ready. Somebody had to go out and buy a case from the grocery store.
Mom told me what she wanted, and being a dutiful son, I got in my car and started out to the local store.
25 days to go. Not to mention I've got two friends in Japan right now. I've got plenty of things to worry about. And then, to top it off, As I drive I feel a very familiar presence in the distance. I recognize it, and wave it over.
SHE appeared in the passenger's seat. She was dressed in something frilly, with a black skirt and a black coat. No obvious weaponry. Her form gave off a presence that said, "I'm not looking for a fight." You pay a lot of attention to the intent and presence something gives off when you're dealing with it. It's the chief way to determine if you're in for a fight or a negotiation in my business. Even without seeing that though, I know I can talk to her. For better or for worse, we have rules after 6 years of her trying to kill me. She'll never wave me down to talk and then try to kill me, she'll try and kill me in the dead of night when I'm not ready. She's pale, with dark hair right now. SHE never takes the same form twice. My body does not change in the physical world. I keep driving. On the astral plane, my form changes, and I'm wearing some blue robes and I soften my presence. This is my way of saying "Okay. I see you're not here for a fight. I'm not here for a fight either."
We were silent for a moment.There's always that awkward moment where we both try to mentally prepare ourselves for what happens next. After all, SHE has only been trying to kill me for 6 years now. We can sit down and discuss this like civilized people. After all, we're directly connected across time and space, we always know what the other is feeling...we should be good at this by now.
SHE said to me, "I am sorry for your friends currently in Japan."
I nodded, stopping at an upcoming streetlight, "Thank you."
SHE said, "You know, I'm going to keep trying to kill you. And if I can't kill you, I'm going to limit you. And if I can't limit you, I'm going to give you headaches."
I said, "Funny how that works. I used to think it was because of how badly I screwed up trying to save you. So who are you working for again?"
SHE smirked, "You try that every time."
I said, "I love that little smile you get. The one that says 'my former sex toy is finally growing up.' Or maybe it just says 'why doesn't he ever give up?'"
SHE did this little laugh, and said, "You ENJOYED the female form."
I rolled my eyes, "Yes, yes, and you enjoyed getting to be a man, and blah blah blah, look, I'm over all that. It was all in my head. How much of what's happened in the last six years has been in my head, I'm still not sure of. You're really good at messing with someone's head."
SHE nodded, and said, "For someone in this line of work, your mind's defenses were always...lacking. You were always better as a bruiser. You were a cute little bruiser, and we were good together...but you're just that. A bruiser."
We're a cute couple. Yes, everything discussed in the above discussion happened. I don't like talking about it. Having your astral form become female for over a year because your murderous Ex wants to really mess with your head isn't any fun. Wondering if you're gay or straight because of magical muckery is one of those things that you do NOT like revisiting. I arrived at the store, and parked the car. Anyone who paid close attention might think I was having a conversation with a nonexistent person next to me.
I grinned, "I've had six years to learn how to analyze, think outside the box, and defuse mental constructs and high-grade illusions. I've had eight years to learn how to not die when someone wants me dead. Whether you like it or not, you just couldn't kill me. Now I've got twenty-five days before I have to fight to the death against something that's bigger and meaner than what I'm used to. If you get in my way, and keep blocking my senses, I will find a way to kill you. Now I've spent ..."
SHE was examining her nails, yawning. I'm trying to give the biggest threat of my life, and she's examining her nails. What the hell. The thing is though, I just don't care about threatening her anymore. It's just not worth it. I've done it before, after all. Jumping Jesus Christ on a Crutch, how many times have I threatened to kill her for this madness?
I continued anyway, "...six years with you trying to kill me. I've put up with it because lets face it, I'm the reason you're where you are now. Then you killed everyone else who put you in that position. Every single person related to what happened to you is a corpse. Now, you said you were doing this originally because I was the last person responsible for what happened to you. So it's my turn now, right?"
I leaned back against my car-seat as best I can, trying to look smooth. It didn't work very well.
I continued, "...Except you know what? You've been doing this for six years, and you've spent a lot more time keeping me blind and unable to see the flows on the astral plane than you have trying to kill me. And I have no idea what it is you don't want me to see, but I'm pretty sure that whoever you're working for that you don't want me to know about is what's really the story here. Let me rephrase in a way that makes sense: This has never been about killing me, it's been about keeping me out of the picture."
She blinked. Got her.
I continued, "Yeah, you spend six years rummaging through my head using that whole direct line between us. I may be a bruiser, but you think I didn't learn how to do a bit of mental muckery of my own in the process? Which agency do you work for, and why is keeping me blind on your list of priorities."
She said, "If they find out I cannot keep you blind anymore, they will go after you. People like us are dangerous."
I said, "Yeah. Because keeping the number of demons trying to kill people in the United States is obviously bad for everyone involved. Now I've got twenty-five days before Thinny McDoucheSuit is on my doorstep, and I've got a lot of work to do before that. Stay out of my way, and let me do my job."
SHE shifted, moving in front of my windshield to glare at me face to face. Anyone watching us would have just seen me relaxing in my car in front of the grocery store.
She said, "They are watching you. When they feel you are no longer capable of being controlled in the wild, they will take you. This has been for your own good."
I grunted, "Fuck my own good. Fuck my own good up its scrawny ass and out your fucking ear. If I was doing all this for my own fucking good, I would have walked away a long time ago and been a goddamn accountant. Sorry, I'm a Creative Writing major, WITH a degree, and I hunt your fucking demons on the side! Now are you going to keep this up, or am I going to have to start hunting YOUR sorry ass, up and down the goddamn universe?"
SHE brings the absolute worst out of me. She also brings out the need to be theatrical. I think about my speech back there, and I realize that it was one of the stupidest, most pointless monologues every delivered by man. If you haven't figured it out already, I try to cut down the obscenities unless they're well and truly deserved. They were deserved there. ...I suck at obscenity, I'm just not very good at it. She smirked, and nodded. I HATE that smirk.
She said, "Very well. I'll give you just enough rope that you can hang yourself. When they come for you, don't say I didn't warn you."
And she left. And dear god I have questions I need answered. I got the coleslaw though. Dinner was delicious, because I was able to get the frigging coleslaw, whoop-de-doo.
This is who I am. This is what I've done. Now who wants to take on the champ?

Estuary: We have had a week of two very distinct weather patterns, the start of the week was absolutely beautiful. The still, sunny warm days that dominated the start of the week have now been replaced by yet another low pressure system. Windy, cold, wet and miserable!!! The fishing has slowed a little over the last week in the estuary. The big bronze Luderick have become very patchy, one day bag limits will be reached and then the next there will only be one or two caught. Bream fishing has continued to be good, not great numbers of fish but some really good size amongst them. Local lure maker Voorbs was lucky enough to get out early in the week and picked up some great Bream and Flathead using a combination of the RV Lures "Rack'em'up" and Z-man grubs in the 2.5" size.
Rock: The local stones continue to produce great catches of Tailor and Bream. There are reports of good schools of big Kingfish coming from the rocks down south, the fish are a bit finicky but for those that put in the effort they should come to the party. The most recent weather event and the associated swell will make for some great Drummer fishing for those keen to brave the elements. Remember to stay safe and be sensible. Always fish with a mate and think about investing in an automatic inflatable PFD. It could definitely save your life!
Offshore: The Snapper fishing continues to be fairly good. The big fish that were around last month seem to have disappeared and have been replaced by small fish up to 3kg which makes for a great box of table fish.
Well our fingers are crossed that this weather eases over the next 24hrs, while the sea may remain unfishable, the estuary and rocks should fire after the rain. Have a safe, happy, fun filled weekend.
Happy Fishing!
Luke Austin.

Phase Development
Phase Development
Phase Development
Phase 3
The Phase 3 Project addressed each of the remaining structural and cultural gaps that create opportunities for child abuse in an institutional setting. It was completed on 30 September 2017 and included:
- an extensive suite of guidance documents and resources designed to support day-to-day youth safe practice across both Defence and ADF Cadets;
- a range of role specific e-learning training packages and
- an assurance mechanism that will enable both the Vice Chief of the Defence Force (VCDF) and the wider public to have confidence in Defence youth safety practices.
The four complementary streams of Phase 3 activity comprise of:
- Youth Safety Culture
- Youth Safety Training
- Youth Safety Governance
- Youth Safety Assurance
Fact sheets are available for key areas of the Defence Youth Safety Framework. This page will be continuously updated throughout the development of the framework. Key elements include:
- ADFC Status Assessment Factsheet
- Youth Safety Assurance Factsheet
- Defence Youth Safety Framework Training PMKeys Numbers
- Youth Safety Training Factsheet
For more information see the Phase 3 Project Factsheet or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Phase 4
Phase 4 will consolidate the key elements from the four work streams of the Phase 3 project and will focus on the following three areas:
- A current state evaluation of the Defence Youth Safety Framework, incorporating the findings from Case Study 40 and the 'Ten Key Elements for Creating a Child Safe Organisation' identified by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
- The development of a Youth Safety Risk Management Framework that provides enterprise-level oversight of and clear accountabilities for managing youth safety risks which aligns with the Commonwealth Child Safety Framework; and.
- The development of a Youth Safety Sustainment Strategy roadmap that identifies key activities and considerations required to embed youth safety practice into Defence and ADF Cadets.
For further information on Phase 4 please refer to Sustaining Youth Safety in Defence.

HA binds to water and fills in wrinkles and folds, allowing immediate and smooth correction. BELOTERO BALANCE® is strong enough for deep treatment areas such as nasolabial folds (smile lines around the mouth), yet soft enough to treat more delicate areas such as vertical lip lines (thin lines that appear above the lip line). All injections are performed by Dr. Pierce.
RADIESSE® is a volumizing filler that erases lines and folds by replacing lost structure with immediate volume. RADIESSE® Volumizing provides structure underneath your skin and stimulates your own natural collagen production for several months. Natural results are clinically proven to last a year ormore in many patients, which means more value from each treatment and long-lasting results. All injections are performed by Dr. Pierce.

"Why not?"
I think it suits me. It's positive and optimistic, but also not too overly zealous or committal. It isn't too scary for the part of me that over-thinks, and finds decision making (at times) excruciating.
I'm not sure exactly how this will play out in my real life, but I have a few ideas.
It was helpful today:
"I should get on the elliptical and exercise..."
(inner voice response: "why not?"...
we won't get in to the fact that I could have probably come up with many reasons at that point, but I didn't.)
So I did.
I should quilt that little top I started long ago. I should do a flower design.
Hmmmm... why not?
So I did.
I should cut all the pieces so I can finally finish my Rouenneries quilt.
OK. Why not?
So I did (finished pictures coming tomorrow I hope).
I should get all the laundry folded and put away.
See... here's where things got tricky. But there's always tomorrow. :)

This dress is one I purchased at the Salvation Army Thrift store for $6.99. The SA thrift is a bit more expensive than Goodwill, but still quite affordable. This dress proves the adage that you should look outside your size range. Believe it or not, it is a size 10! (At least that is what the tag said.) The top is puckered with elastic thread and looks just like some of the dresses that I have seen in retail stores. The denim shirt is the same one I wore last week. It has a better fit over dresses than a denim jacket and it is much lighter weight.
|Dress: Thrifted
Denim Shirt: Consignment
Shoes: Think! Sandals
Handsome Harry Airedale
|Purchased at different stores.
I hope you will join me with the everyone else at Visible Monday on Not Dead Yet Style and Monday Mingle with Glamamom. Have a great Monday.

About DataWind Tablets
DataWind Tablets
Based out of Montreal in Canada, DataWind happens to be a developer of products and services related to web accessibility. Besides this, the company is also known for its range of tablets that are solely manufactured for educational purposes. The Akash tablet is one of the company's more famous products, which also happens to be the cheapest in the world of tablet computers. It is known to make smartphones as well.
History of DataWind Tablets
DataWind was founded around the start of the present millennium in 2001. It was largely into the development of web access services and products. In fact, the company is known to own 14 patents relating to such services.
In 2004, the company started to manufacture mobiles/web browsing devices, known as the PocketSurfer. Later on, the company also started to manufacture UbiSlate tablets primarily made for the Indian Government for educational purposes. The first of its products was known as the Akash tablet and was available at just $35 for students. Commercially, this was the UbiSlate 7 tablet and was priced at just $60. By 2012, the company had the largest share in the tablet market segment, excluding the ones that were offered by the Indian Government.
Popularity in India
DataWind's tablet releases have been a successful story in India. The company won a tender for the supply of educational tablets to the Indian Government in 2011. The following year it was ready with its first product, the Akash tablet. This was available to students and also commercially to customers.
The company's UbiSlate tablets have been a good success story since then. In fact, the company was the largest market share holder in the tablet category in early 2013. Since then, the company has gone on to release several other devices in the lineup too.
Design of DataWind Tablets
DataWind's tablets are known to have a simple outlook and design. They carry the traditional slate form factor like almost every tablet. In terms of build quality, they feature a polycarbonate plastic make. This makes the device light, but not very strong like metal. The UbiSlate branding, along with the model name, is present in the center of the back of these devices.
The size of the screen is usually between 7 inches and 10 inches. The display is decent and nothing extraordinary, considering their purpose and price point. However, one shouldn't have problems with views presented by these devices.
The color availability is largely limited to two basic color options, which are black and white.
Features of DataWind Tablets
DataWind's tablet devices are equipped with good features, although they are nothing very extravagant or outstanding. Considering that they are largely educational tablets, this strategy fares completely well to keep costs at a minimum.
The tablets are largely powered by processors of the latest ARM architecture and design. As such, they have multiple cores and are powerful in solving tasks. The availability of RAM depends on the model and is either of 512MB or 1GB. The storage capacity is kept to 4/8GB and can be further expanded with a micro-SD card.
All UbiSlate tablets from DataWind come with Android OS. The last release has been known to run Android KitKat.
The devices have cameras on the front for all the models. Many of them also feature rear cameras, this being mostly true for the later releases.
Connectivity is very good for tablets from DataWind. It has support for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular SIM with 3G for many models and more. It has a 3.5mm headphone jack and micro-USB port too. DataWind tablets are also known to be large on data savings as they have the company's patented data compression technology.
The battery life is fairly good with these tablets too.
DataWind Tablet News
DataWind has recently launched two netbooks. These are called the DroidSurfer and come in two versions, 7 inch and 10 inch.

It's good to know that Kid Cudi doesn't keep us waiting like his fellow G.O.O.D. Music compadres do. Just a few days after being previewed on YouTube, here we have Cudi's brand new single "King Wizard" in its full glory.
Now his 2009 debut, Man on the Moon: The End of the Day, may have captured audiences for its otherworldly sound — thanks largely to the production of Emile, Plain Pat and Ratatat — but just like its predecessor, "Just What Iam," this new track sees Cudder himself take us on a journey through the Universe with a self-crafted sci-fi instrumental. Even better, it looks like that intoxicating rapping-crooning concoction is back for good.
"King Wizard" serves as the second sample of Cudi's forthcoming third solo album, Indicud, which the man himself describes as "the greatest album ever made." [Complex]

Detroit may be moving to resolve their pension crisis, but New Jersey's pension problems are just heating up.
Gov. Chris Christie (R) says the Garden State's pension system—which is expected to hit more than $54 billion in unfunded liabilities by fiscal year 2018—needs to be fixed because it's unsustainable long-term. Christie's office now has launched a public relations campaign to raise awareness about the looming financial crisis, unless something is done.
Nationwide, dozens of cities and states are facing pension problems, according to a recent report from the Pew Center. But Detroit, Michigan and New Jersey are front and center on the debate. New Jersey's crisis, in fact, goes back decades, and the situation only has worsened in recent years.
This despite the enactment of several laws to reform New Jersey's system in 2010, including requiring public workers and taxpayers to chip in more. New Jersey this year faced an $807 million budget shortfall. State Democrats had proposed raising taxes on high-income earners and businesses to fill the gap. But Christie chose to cut two legally required pension payments to a combined level of $1.38 billion from $3.8 billion. Those cuts aren't enough though, according to Christie, so he has promised to introduce more reforms later this year.
Christie told a radio audience in June that the state is meeting its current obligations, but won't be able to meet the state's pension and health-care commitments to its 700,000 active enrollees and retirees long term. He said his promise of reform is to avoid the same problems that have plagued Detroit, which is working to exit Chapter 9 bankruptcy. Detroit's bankruptcy trial is scheduled for August 14.
Read MoreDetroit agrees to bankruptcy plan, pension cuts
"I don't want New Jersey to meet the same fate," Christie told the radio audience on New Jersey's "Ask the Governor" program.
As New Jersey works out a concrete proposal, public worker unions in the state are already fighting back.
Union officials say they intend to file a lawsuit in a bid to force Christie to make full pension contributions, and vowed to battle any proposal the governor makes to reduce pension benefits.

If you want some seriously happy people around you.. make them these quesadillas!
These are quick and easy to make, fun to eat, filled with fajita goodness and perfect for a week night meal.
If you are craving for some Tex-Mex flavors and looking for a recipe that is not very complicated, Chicken Fajita Quesadillas perfectly fit the bill.
You can serve them with a dollop of sour cream or enjoy them dipped in salsa. But if you ask me, I don't need any thing else with these babies. They are too good on their own.
- Chicken cubes (Boneless /Skinless - 1/2 kg)
- Garlic (4 cloves- minced)
- Lemon Juice (2 tbsp)
- Salt (1/4 tsp)
- Onion (sliced lengthwise -1)
- Tomato (seeded / sliced lengthwise -2)
- Bell pepper (sliced lengthwise -1)
- Tomato ketchup (1/4 cup)
- Hot Sauce (3 tbsp)
- Cooking Oil (2 tbsp)
- Butter (melted - 3 tbsp)
- Cream Cheese (1/2 cup)
- Tortillas (6-8)
- Marinate chicken cubes with lemon and salt. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- In a pan, heat oil and saute minced garlic.
- When the garlic starts to brown, add marinated chicken and cook on high flame while stirring. You don't want the chicken to get burned.
- When all water dries and chicken starts browning, add onions, bell peppers and tomatoes and cook on high flame for another 30 seconds while stirring continuously.
- Now, turn down the heat to low, add ketchup and hot sauce.
- Mix well until everything in the pan is well coated with ketchup. Switch off stove.
- Spread cream cheese on the tortillas and spread chicken fajita on half of the tortilla.
- Fold the other half on top (it should look like a semi-circle).
- Heat an empty frying pan, lightly brush the top of folded tortilla with some oil or butter and place in the frying pan, butter side down.
- While the quesadilla is toasting from one side, brush the other side too and flip.
- Once both sides are done, dish out, cut in 3 equal parts and serve immediately.

Mesh Banners are most commonly seen as fence banners or fence wraps
for construction / development areas or on temporary hired fences
for caryard sales, building enclosures, tall scaffold towers,
internal screens.
Mesh Banners have small holes that allow the breeze to pass through the banner avoiding a sail effect and ripping up against the wind.
We offer a range of finishing options for installing, please talk to a sales representative to discuss the most suitable options. Welded rope finishing is not recommended and not available as a finishing option for Mesh Banners.
Our mesh banner printing services can create an attractive banner that will stand up to the elements. These tough custom mesh banners are great for high wind conditions. Outdoor Mesh Vinyl banners have small interwoven fibers which allow the wind to pass right through, reducing the dreaded "sail" or "kite" effect and extending the life of your banner. Want a tip on how to add life to your banner? Add our Bungee Cords to your outdoor Mesh Banner order to help relieve some of the stress on the banner itself. Our mesh material has the potential to last for years with the proper care. Please note that due to the semi-transparent nature of this material, the final print colors will look considerably lighter than the colors shown in your proof, most noticeably with dark colors and especially when back-lit.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama – There's a good chance you've heard of the Alabama Shakes by now. Whether listening to them on NPR, reading about them in Rolling Stone or seeing the band's name announced in summer festival lineups including Hangout, the Athens band is everywhere these days.
Now you'll have the chance to see the band for yourself – on TV or in person, right here in Huntsville.
The band will make its national late-night television debut on "Conan" tonight at 10 p.m. on TBS, and will play a show at Crossroads Music Hall in Huntsville on March 30.
Guitarist Heath Fogg said in an email that the TV experience is on another level from the recent attention the band has received.
"It's definitely a lot scarier," Fogg said. "It's exciting, too. (We're) still getting used to the attention."
The band fronted by the out-of-this-world vocals and guitar of Brittany Howard along with Zac Cockrell, Steve Johnson and Fogg has earned a reputation for soulful live performances and aims to evoke similar emotions from tonight's TV audience.
"We just hope people react the same way they would at a live show, but in their PJs on the couch," Fogg said.
The Alabama Shakes' debut full-length album, "Boys & Girls," will be released on ATO records April 10. In the meantime, the band will be returning home for three dates in Alabama including a performance at Crossroads on March 30. Tickets for the Huntsville show are $12 in advance and will go on sale today at 11 a.m. on the Alabama Shakes' website and through Crossroads Wednesday. The band is also playing at the Bama Theatre in Tuscaloosa on March 23 and a sold-out show at WorkPlay in Birmingham March 31.
As for tomorrow's big debut, the band had no set plans for a viewing party as of Monday night.
"We will probably watch it in our hotel or go to a local bar that's empty and see if they can turn it on," Fogg said.

Kellogg's is trying to change the way consumers think about cereal by opening a high-end cafe that serves up gourmet cereal. With classic Kellogg's brands and chef-driven ingredients, the upscale cereal bar puts a delicious twist on a classic breakfast dish.
The experimental cereal bar has been dubbed the 'Kellogg's NYC Cafe' and it will be a permanent fixture in the Times Square area. The shop will serve classic Kellogg's cereal such as Special K, Rice Krispies and Frosted Flakes, but with a gourmet twist. Instead of simply adding milk, customers will be able to enjoy chef-curated toppings such as green tea powder, toasted peanuts and even ground coffee. The cafe will also allow consumers to build their own gourmet cereal bowl by choosing from the extensive selection of toppings.
With a growing number of consumers looking for more creative breakfast options, the new Kellogg's NYC Cafe puts an innovative twist on a long-time pantry staple.

Yen Duc village on the road between Ha Long and Hanoi is a scenic village with pretty vistas of wide rice fields and green hills in the distance. It was an unplanned destination that was foisted on us, but we enjoyed it regardless.
The Vung Vieng floating village is one of the four small communities of fisherfolk who make their living in Ha Long Bay, not near the bay or on any island but on their boats and rafts. Protected from the elements by the surrounding limestone karsts of Ha Long bay, they lead a unique lifestyle in their raft homes, some small and tight and others quite large, some with modern comforts like generators and TVs and many with dogs.
Hanoi, this bustling city of millions is the modern day capital of Vietnam and has been an important center for a long time, having recently celebrated 1000 years of existence. It is a charming, if a bit chaotic, blend of remnants from its ancient days, more recent past under the French and modern times. A perfect city to begin to experience Vietnam and a great springboard to the rest of the country. And as I discovered, one can experience a quite a lot of Hanoi in a day.
Ha Long bay is Vietnam's most popular destination and the most popular way to experience its scenic limestone karsts and isles is on a cruise aboard one of the many "junks" that ply its waters.
If imitation is flattery than Hanoi is a very flattering place indeed and no more apparent than in the food places. Imitators abound and if you are going to pay 170,000 dong for Hanoi's famous Cha Ca dish you might as well experience it at the century old original restaurant.
Hanoi's old quarter has some of the best food you can find in Vietnam, including an absolutely great bowl of humble Pho.
If you would rather not be surprised with what you consume, be a little wary in Hanoi's old quarter. We were meandering around the old quarter aimlessly when we passed by a little coffee store called Tour Cafe on Hang Buom street.
Avalon cafe is a popular spot with Hanoi's younger urban crowd with a mix of both western eats and local fare, the rooftop views of this restaurant probably has the best views of the Hoan Kiem lake.
Bun Bo is another popular dish to try when in Hanoi. Like so much of the other local fare, the old quarter is a great place to find good Bun Bo. Bun means rice vermicelli and Bo is beef. Bun Bo is just that, a dish of rice noodles with beef, but elevated with a rich mix of seasonings and other ingredients.
I had no idea what a Mexican Coffee Bun was at that time but two adjacent shops in Hanoi's old quarter advertising "Papparoti" and "Roti Mexico" with deliciously inviting aromas certainly aroused my curiosity. Turns out they are neither Mexican nor Vietnamese.
Madame Hien serves up traditional Vietnamese cuisine in a beautiful French colonial mansion in the heart of Hanoi's old quarter. The setting for the meal is one of the best around and it would have been great if the meal itself had matched it.
Banh Cuon was the first dish I had from my long list of must try foods in Hanoi and it ended up being my favorite.
