Grateful for Sundays 14
The start back at work has been brutal.
At least I have been making the most of my Sundays...
Long Bay Regional Park
The beautiful sunshine has made it too hard to resist the outdoors. Along with two other friends, Jason and I have been slowly exploring some of the regional parks around Auckland each fortnight. Long Bay Regional Park has bookable camp sites, walking sites and a beautiful beach for a quick dip after your walk. Word of warning - nudists frequent certain areas of the park, so don't wander too far from the main track if you're not into that...
One of our other trips brought us to Anawhata, a quiet beach on the West Coast of Auckland. The beach can only be reached by foot (about a 20 minute walk) and, as such, is relatively quiet. We only saw 3 other people.
Pizza Toppings
My in-laws have recently bought a pizza oven so our visits have mostly involved pizza nights. This has been a great activity and a good way of feeding a large number of people. The endless topping combinations means that this will never get old!
Our garden
Lastly, our garden has flourished since Christmas. What was once a big pile of weeds behind the garage has now become a constant source of zucchini, tomatoes and beans. The chilies and the eggplant are still growing, and we are very excited.
We are still finding our feet when it comes to gardening, but being able to harvest vegetables everyday has been super rewarding.
As a bonus, our fig tree has also started fruiting. This is a tree my Grandparents planted when we first moved into this house as a family and now, 18 years later, we are still enjoying their efforts.
What are you grateful for this Sunday?

Cavatappi with butternut squash, asparagus, and peas (plus the winner of the Spring Chicken Giveaway)
Take this pasta I made the other night. I had some peeled and cubed butternut squash from Trader Joe's that I was contemplating roasting, as squash generally wants to be roasted. But then I remembered what a lovely surprise it was last fall when I made this pasta which called for steaming and pureeing the squash into a creamy sauce. I decided to crib Giada's idea for the squash but tweak the other components.
The method is: saute some squash with oil, salt, and pepper. Add some broth, cover, and steam it until soft. Then puree it in a food processor.
When I'd transformed the squash into a bright orange puree, I tossed in some asparagus that I'd roasted separately, as well as a handful of frozen peas, and a pound of cavatappi. But it needed something more. So I rooted around in the fridge and found some ricotta that needed to be used up. In went half a cup, a hefty grating of parmesan, and a little pasta water to make it just right. A sprinkle of chives (my go-to garnish!) and I was done. Not bad for an impromptu weeknight pasta!
There was something else I was going to say...
Oh yes, the winner of the spring chicken giveaway. Thank you to everyone who entered! What fun it was to read all of your responses. I had a hard time choosing with such great entries, but the prize goes to HollowPeas, who wrote:
I am going to go against the 'flowers and grass and birds' grain here and say my favorite part about spring is the thunderstorms. It is honestly one of my favorite times to spend all day in the kitchen. I crack open the windows so I can hear the rain and the thunder and spend all day baking bread or roasting a chicken, something warm and comforting. The bonus is the next day when it smells like fresh rain and everything is green and vibrant.
HollowPeas, drop me an email with your mailing address and CSN will have your gorgeous Le Creuset roasting pan in the mail to you quick as a wink.
Everyone else, thanks for playing!

AH!! Thank you so much!! I am so very excited to use this pan, it pays to be a fan of Hungry Dog blog huh?ReplyDelete
And can I say that pasta looks phenomenal, I love pureed butternut squash on ANYTHING. Maybe I will make this, and serve it in my brand new gorgeous baking dish!
Congrats to the winner :). So, since I didn't win can I have some of that delicious pasta as a consolation prize? It looks delish!ReplyDelete
Have a great weekend daaaaaaahling.
*kisses* HH
This dish sounds wonderful and it looks so fresh and appetizing!ReplyDelete
I like this! And, yes, by absorbing the principles of the recipe, I can now go improvise. Lovely.ReplyDelete
Congratulations to HollowPeas.
The colors are so pretty together. Congrats to the winner :)ReplyDelete

Mmmm, it looks so colorful and delicious. Would never have thought about pureeing squash into a sauce!ReplyDelete
Congrats to HollowPeas! I will think about you and HD while eating the very Spring-y rhubarb crostata I plan on making this weekend. - Pete
great idea! not only does the squash provide a really unique color and flavor, but it also contrasts so nicely with the peas! you do good work on the spur of the moment. :)ReplyDelete
Congrats HollowPeas!ReplyDelete
So right about turning almost anything into pasta - we had sausage and cherry tomato pasta tonight. Love your take on butternut squash, sounds absolutely delicious.
thunderstorms always sound so romantic... I once got to see some lightning out on the prairie while visiting the inlaws, it was awesome! Your pasta looks lovely too.ReplyDelete
HollowPeas: You are most welcome! Enjoy the pan!ReplyDelete
HH: Absolutely. Come on over... :)
Domestic Adventurer: Yes, it was very springy1
cookiecrumb: Isn't it versatile? I love the idea of squash as a creamy sauce.
tamilyn: thanks!
Pete: I'm going to email you for that crostata recipe, I just bought some rhubarb yesterday!
grace: oh, thank you. I do enjoy throwing things together now and then.
shaz: your pasta sounds delicious too!
foodhoe: That sounds gorgeous and dramatic!
I love the colors! I've made soup from roasted veggies, but never pasta. What a great idea!ReplyDelete
And congrats to the winner!

Looks awesome! I love butternut squash, but never would have tought to use it as a sauce. And then the roasted asparagus... love the winetr-to-spring nature of the dish!ReplyDelete
ooh, excellent answer for spring! And what an equally excellent dish to celebrate the new greenery! I've been obsessed with asparagus lately, mostly because it's the only time of year when it's affordable, so I buy it like crazy!ReplyDelete
Barbara: I know, I'm in love with the colors of this dish too.ReplyDelete
Camille: How true, I didn't even think of that.
wasabi: I'm a little obsessed with asparagus too. I find it hard to resist!
Congratz HollowPeas! The sauce sounds awesome, I'll have to try making one with pureed squash too.ReplyDelete
First, congrats to Hollow Peas because she has one fabulous gift item coming her way-not too mention, I loved what she said too.ReplyDelete
Cheers to you for that pasta dish. Now, that is reflective of a creative person that can create such a culinary delight with what's in the pantry and the refrigerator. I really like the idea of simmeringa nd softening the squash and then pureeing it. I am going to remember that!
As always, love your blog posts. I am either smiling, laughing or learning or all three at the same time while reading. :-)
Bob: give it a try, I think you would like it.ReplyDelete
Velva: Aw, thanks for your kind words! I love your blog too!
Congrats on winning!! Yeah!!!
That pasta dish sounds so good & is so appetizing too!
MMMMM,...very fresh & radiant in colour!
mmm this looks so comforting. And I love the idea of blending the squash into the sauce.ReplyDelete
Sophie: Thanks!ReplyDelete
E & J: Give it a try, it's a great, creative method, and healthy too--gives you a creamy sauce without the cream!
So it really works? The CSN, they contacted me also, but I've yet to blog.ReplyDelete
Nice recipe, sounds like something that would go down well over here.
That's my favorite way of cooking, shooting from the hip.

Taking care of your skin is essential, and now that cooler weather is creeping in, skin care is more critical than ever. Having a daily skin regime is not only important to prevent oily skin and breakouts, but it can prevent fine lines and aging that can be increased by cold weather or sun exposure. It is important to understand that your skin is not only a surface that you want to look presentable, but it is also a shield that protects your body from harmful substances, that is why it's crucial that its well nourished. Healthy skin not only looks better but it performs better.
What many individuals don't realize is that toxic elements do not only exist on your skin, but they can also exist in your skin care products, so it's important to make your product selections wisely. Ingredients that you should avoid are GMO's, parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances synthetic dyes, petrochemicals, phthalates, and triclosan – read and be aware of the ingredients in your products before you purchase them and put them on your skin. These harmful ingredients will do more harm than good.
So what products should you use? What should be included in your skin care regime? And where can you find them? Below you will find the answer's to these key questions. Some of the best brands for your skin are Boscia, Origins and Ole Henricksen. These products are chemical-free and they have done wonders for my skin. I love the compliments that I get about my healthy-looking skin! The results are noticeable and I know that the time that I invest on my skin care regime is well worth it.
Here are several products that I always have in my make-up bag:
Cleansing your skin will remove dirt and oil that builds-up during the day and even from the night before. A deep cleanser will also remove impurities and toxins that lie on your skin. My favorite product is Boscia's Detoxifying Black Cleanser. This wonderful natural purifier not only cleanses the skin but is also meant to detoxify the complexion. Some additional all-natural cleansers are Ole Henricksen Aloe Vera Deep Cleanser, Ole Henricksen African Red Tea Foaming Cleanser, Origins Zero Oil Deep Pore Cleanser and Origins Antioxidant Cleanser With White Tea.
Exfoliators remove dead skin cells and allows for smooth radiant skin to shine. Boscia's Smoothing Facial Polish is a gentle product and is perfect for sensitive skin. Ole Henricksen Walnut Complexion Scrub and Origin's Modern Friction Nature's General Dermabrasion work deep within the pores to eliminate skin discoloration and damage. All without the harshness or redness of a clinical dermabrasion.
Toners restore your skin's PH balance which can be disrupted from too much or too little oil on the skin. Best products I've found are: Origins' United States Balancing Tonic, Origins' Zero Oil Pore Purifying Toner, Boscia's Clear Complexion Tonic, Boscia's Balancing Complexion Tonic, Ole Enricksen African Red Tea Face Mist and Ole Enricksen Balancing Cucumber Face Mist.
Patting a nourishing, silky moisturizer to keep your skin fresh is a must at the end of your daily skin regime. Moisturizers minimize the pores and softens the skin. Top products are Ole Enricksen Sheer Transformation, Boscia's Revitalizing Black Hydration Gel and Origins Youthtopia Lift.
All of these wonderful products can be found at Sephora:

hello blossom
I actually hyperventilated when I saw this gorgeous pom pom blossom. Then bizarrely when I took a photo it went weird and created an almost painting effect. Even more beautiful.
Copy and set it to your desktop - It could be raining next week and you can look at this instead of out the window!

I research the macroeconomic causes and effects of political instability and other large rare events, the international transmission of business cycles, and the process by which people form expectations.
CV (April 23 2016)
Department of Economics
College of William and Mary
115 Morton Hall
Williamsburg, VA 23185
Capital Flows: Convergence vs. Risk
revisions resubmitted [draft] Standard international macroeconomic models overpredict capital flows into countries with relatively lower capital stocks and faster-growing TFP. Asymmetric investment risk has been shown in similar models to be a significant driver of capital flows between otherwise symmetric countries. But can risk drive capital "uphill?" This paper builds a model with two large open economies to assess the ability of asymmetric aggregate risk to partially counteract the neoclassical convergence forces. The two economies are calibrated to the average 1980 capital stocks, TFP levels, and trend TFP growth rates of a group of 21 developed markets and a group of 21 emerging markets, respectively. In addition, the two economies' TFP processes are subject to both transitory Gaussian shocks and rare disasters, both calibrated to evidence that emerging markets are not just more volatile, but are additionally subject to rare disasters that are both more common and more severe than those in developed markets. At the baseline calibration, risk is able to prevent 82% of the flows that would have occurred due to the convergence forces, and if the initial gap in capital per worker and TFP in the average emerging market were 61% that which was observed in the data, the risk motive would exactly offset the convergence forces. This paper concludes that the literature's insights on the first-order importance of risk remain relevant even in a setting where powerful countervailing forces would drive capital "downhill."
Bilateral Linkages and the Dynamics of International Business Cycle Comovement
in submission [draft] This paper uses uses a novel type of panel vector autoregression to establish that the well-known association between linkages and business cycle comovement has both intratemporal and intertemporal dimensions. When two countries are more closely linked (i.e., they trade more or hold more financial assets in each other), business-cycle fluctuations in one country have greater dynamic spillovers in the other. The association between linkages and dynamic spillovers varies across types of good traded, types of assets held, and whether the spillovers are traveling upstream or downstream. Import and export intensity are asymmetrically associated with spillovers; bilateral portfolio equity holdings are associated with comovement within quarters (but not at a delay of a quarter); the import of goods used for capital formation is strongly associated with spillovers both within quarters and at a delay of a quarter. The novel stylized facts shed new light on mechanisms for the international transmission of shocks in commonly used business cycle models: several mechanisms which the literature has found to strengthen the relationship between trade and business cycle correlation do not give rise to the intertemporal spillovers found in the data.
Political Unrest, Time-Varying Risk, and Macroeconomic Activity
with Toan Phan in submission [draft] We provide a novel method to identify and estimate shocks to higher-order moments of business cycles, by exploiting the uncertainty associated with episodes of political unrest. Unrest episodes are usually lengthy periods during which the growth rates of macroeconomic activities are lower on average, significantly more volatile and more negatively skewed. We augment and calibrate a standard small-open-economy real business cycles model with Markov switching to the estimated moments. The model shows that increased negative skewness plays an important role in explaining the observed average decline in economic activities, and has a similar effect as an increase in the probability of a rare disaster.
Unrest Before Democratization: Theory and Evidence
with Toan Phan and Stanislav Rabinovich We document that most democratic transitions are preceded by episodes of mass political unrest by non-state actors with the goal of regime change. These episodes are associated with significant economic losses, do not always succeed in changing the regime, and can lead to negative polity changes. We then develop a unifying model of democratic transitions in which some non-democracies are consolidated, some democratic transitions are preceded by preemptive franchise extensions and some by equilibrium revolutions.
Relaxing Rational Expectations
[draft] The assumption of rational expectations is potentially a serious source of misspecification in DSGE models. Many recent theories of expectations formation have relaxed rational expectations and improved the predictive properties of benchmark macroeconomic models. Problematically, the space of possible theoretical deviations from rational expectations is very large, especially since the aggregate consequences of deviations from rational expectations in equilibrium may not be directly measurable using existing surveys of expectations. This paper provides evidence on which small reduced-form state-contingent deviations from rational expectations yield the most improvement in replicating features of macroeconomic time series, and which aspects of model misspecification are and are not ameliorated by these small deviations from rational expectations. The findings: a) The data favor deviations from rational expectations among firms in which they over-estimate the persistence of inflation. b) Relaxing rational expectations in a New Keynesian model partially substitutes for the additional structural mechanisms in the larger Smets Wouters (2007) model. Relaxing rational expectations within the Smets Wouters (2007) model improves that model's ability to reproduce some of the spectral coherencies between output growth, investment growth, and labor supply. The mechanism is a combination of shocks to beliefs themselves and the role that deviations from rational expectations have in changing the propagation of other shocks.

Toby Alderweireld and Harry Kane praise Tottenham maturity
LONDON -- Tottenham's 3-1 win against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League was an impressive display of tactical maturity, according to Toby Alderweireld and Harry Kane, who both said they have learned from last year's failures in the competition.
Spurs finished Wednesday's win at Wembley with just 38 percent of possession but they led 2-1 at half-time after Son Heung-Min and Kane scored superb goals on the counter-attack, either side of Andriy Yarmolenko's brilliant equaliser.
Kane added a third after the break for Spurs, who defended unusually deep and soaked up the Dortmund pressure, and they were unlucky not to score more, even if Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had an equaliser wrongly ruled out for offside at 2-1.
"We didn't play like children. We played like adults," centre-back Alderweireld said. "It wasn't going our way but we fought, we kept compact, we tried to be dangerous when we came out. We did that in the first half, and the second half was even better. We could have been better and scored a lot more.
"When it doesn't go our way, because we want to press, we just stayed compact to get through it, and when we got the ball, we tried to be dangerous. That's a big plus from last season. We were compact, didn't give a lot of chances away. They had a lot of possession but we defended very well. Second half they got more tired and we should have scored more.
"We learned quick. We have to learn quick. It's a good step from last season and a good start. Everybody knew what we had to do. We have more experienced players, they know what to do now in those kind of situations. They keep their heads calm and bring what they have to bring."
Spurs won just once in four European matches at Wembley last season and only beat Russian minnows CSKA Moscow in the Champions League group stage.
Kane added: "It was an experienced performance from us. We've got to learn we can't always press 100 percent against good teams, because they'll find spaces. We dropped off when we needed to, and caught them on the counter-attack with the spaces in behind. We learned from last year's campaign, said we wanted to improve our home form and we've done that.
"It's massive. We want to prove ourselves against the best in Europe, and we definitely did that tonight. We played very well, we were clinical when we needed to be, I thought we deserved to win, we were clever in the way we pressed and when to drop off, so it was a good professional performance and hopefully we can just continue that."
A second yellow card for Jan Vertonghen for catching Mario Gotze in the mouth in stoppage time removed some of the gloss from the victory and the defender accused the Germany player of making too much of the incident.
"I didn't agree with it. I had no intention of hitting him. For me, it was a mistake. I was trying to win the ball, protect it, but had no intention to hit him. I think a couple of guys made too much of it," Vertonghen said.
Alderweireld added: "I think Jan was a little bit unfortunate. Things happen in football. I don't think it was dangerous use of his arm or something. It was a second yellow so maybe one game [ban]. We'll see."

Hi Ladies,
As I am new to this whole eye makeup thing, I am so eager to learn them with cheap, pocket friendly products. I don't want to buy some costly palette and end up not knowing to use it.
In line with this, I got myself a Maybelline Vivid and Smooth Liner in Bordeaux Pearl. This is going to be my review of the same with a simple EOTD.
This Pencil is priced at Rs. 200/- and come in eleven gorgeous shades.
The liner, as u can see is in pencil form and the texture is extremely creamy. As it's creamy, it never tugs the eyes and aids in easy application. The eyeliner comes with a plastic cap that's too feeble.
The Color of this liner is pinkish color that at times looks like a subtle purple with fine shimmer. This color is very apt for people like me who are new to make up as it would never look clownish (as long as you use it on your nose).
This color would look good on all skin tones and is very classy.
Again, due to its super creamy nature, this color can be used as a liner, as an eye shadow and as an eye shadow base too. I personally prefer it more as an eye shadow and as an eye shadow base. It did not smudge/crease/settle into the lines like the elle18 eye sparkler one.
When I applied it, I noticed how fast it sets and once set's it stays for good 5 hours in my lids post which i removed it myself. (I do not have oily lids).
The only problem I have with this one is, when it fades, that is, after a long time, the shimmer is left behind. But its okay with me considering all the plus this one has.
Now, let me sum up its pros and cons.
1. Beautiful color.
2. Creamy Texture.
3. Can be used as eyeliner, eye shadow and as an eye shadow base.
4. Sets quickly and does not smudge as long as you don't take efforts to smudge it.
5. All these just for Rs. 200/-
1. Leaves shimmer behind.
2. Cap is loose.
3. No shade name mentioned on the pencil.
4. Needs to be sharpened.
In short, I love this liner and I am sure that each one of you will be having at least one of these. If not, it's a must have.!
I have created my version of festive look using this liner. Hope you girls like it.
See you all in another post.

Construction continues of the new $30 million Rain Rock Casino project near Yreka. The Karuk Tribe owns the casino.
When opened, there will be 8 game tables and 500 electronic gaming machines. The square footage is 36,000. There will also be a restaurant with 100 seats. 300 jobs will be created when open.
In 2004 the tribe began working on the casino project. They faced many obstacles. Including the process of agreeing on a gaming compact between the tribe and state of California.
Profits from the casino will go to pay off the loan for construction. In time the money could go to assist with tribal social service and health care programs.
Future plans for the casino include a hotel with 80 guest rooms and additional parking.
The casino is expected to open summer of 2017.
Return to California Casinos.

Humanism the Renaissance and M
The introduction of the concept of humanism greatly affected the Renaissance. The Humanistic influence shaped Renaissance art, writing, education and thinkers, its ideas were spread among all aspects of life. Machiavelli's writings during the
Renaissance were also affected by the ideas of humanism. His ideas reflect the thoughts of humanism in the way he thought governments and societies should be organized.
Humanism's influence on art was very obvious, it could be
seen slowly infiltrating all art throughout the Renaissance. At the begging of the Renaissance, most art was very dark and
dismal. The works portrayed people doing very menial labor, the people did not seem happy and their clothing was very plain. As the Renaissance progressed and humanism's influence was more felt the paintings used lighter colors, the people in them were
smiling and their clothing many times included gold trim or accents. The late Renaissance art also has a larger focus on religion, as humanism inspired people in many forms by the use of religion.
Humanism came about with the idea that a person should have a very rounded education covering many aspects of society
especially history, geometry, and art. During the renaissance as the ideas of humanism spread, especially in its educational sense, more schools and universities were erected and a much higher percentage of people were formally educated. The
universities helped many people become educated, and their
education helped all of society because many of them went on to challenge their teacher's rash observations of the world and make great discoveries. This proliferation of education was also helped by many inventions such as the printing press which came about because people had more to live for.
Many great thinkers during the renaissance were also
affected by the ideas of humanism. More people were educated during the renaissance and therefore more...

Eighteen years ago, Geoff Horsfield left Halifax Town to join Fulham.
After scoring 30 league goals as Halifax romped to promotion to the Football League, the striker went all the way to the Premier League.
He tells Tom Scargill about his time at The Shay, the record-breaking move to Fulham and getting a rollocking off Kevin Keegan.
Jamie Vardy isn't the only Halifax player to reach the Premier League after leaving The Shaymen.
"I wish they would make a film about me," jokes Geoff Horsfield. "My story's more interesting!"
If Vardy's rise to the pinnacle of English football merits a big-screen remake, then movie producers looking for the next smash hit could do worse than knock on Horsfield's door for a synopsis.
Horsfield combined bricklaying with playing non-league football after, like Vardy, he was rejected by his home-town club; in Horsfield's case Barnsley.
The striker also overcame a career-threatening knee injury at Witton Albion before joining Halifax for a second time.
"I came on trial and ended up playing a few games but then they released me," recalls Horsfield, who now owns a business renting out properties for people with mental health issues in the Midlands.
"But I was a different player the second time. I'd gone round non-league and played at Witton.
"But Halifax was an established club and I didn't have any second thoughts."
Like Vardy during the 2010-11 season, Horsfield was the star player in Halifax's promotion campaign.
But while Town's Vardy-inspired championship under Neil Aspin was forseeable, their success under George Mulhall and Kieran O'Regan was entirely unexpected, coming 12 months after escaping relegation on the last day of the 1996-97 season with a 4-2 win over Stevenage.
Did Horsfield envisage the remarkable promotion that followed?
"Never in a month of Sundays!" he says. "It was something like what Leicester did last season."
Movie producers take note.
"Rushden and Diamonds were big spenders in that league and their budget was much bigger than ours.
"But we worked hard for each other, enjoyed going out for a drink together and had a great camaraderie.
"We had some great characters like Kevin Hulme, Brian Kilcline, Jon Brown and Peter Jackson.
"The season was just phenomenal. I didn't do a pre-season because I got a job as a bricklayer in Birmingham building two nursing homes; I only did one session a week.
"The two lads I was in digs with would drop me off after work about five miles from where we were staying and I would run back the rest of the way.
"So that was my pre-season work. Plus I was hod-carrying so that helped build my strength up."
Horsfield scored 46 goals in 74 games in his second Halifax spell, but prefers to share the limelight with others from his time at The Shay.
"The club was absolutely fantastic. George and Kieran's influence was massive, I owe them a lot.
"I wasn't there every session but they were fantastic with me. They just said 'try to get in when you can' and they made a really good partnership.
"And I formed a great partnership with Jamie Paterson.
"I scored 30 goals in the league and got the golden boot. It was just one of those seasons where everything came off for me.
"Don't get me wrong, I worked hard. But Jamie was a huge influence up front with me."
As with Vardy, Halifax were unable to hold onto their most prized asset, and after seven goals at the start of the following term, Horsfield joined Kevin Keegan's Fulham in October 1998 for £350,000.
"It was a shock that Fulham came in. But Kevin was absolutely fantastic - one of the best managers I played under.
"I had no fear of going to Fulham. I scored four or five in my first six games and I tried a back-heel flick in my next game.
"I'd scored two and I thought Kevin would praise me to the hilt at half-time but he gave me the biggest roasting I ever had.
"He said 'keep doing that and you'll be back on the building site in Barnsley. If I see you doing it again I'm taking you off'.
"Anyway I flicked it again and he subbed me straight away.
"He told me 'you can go all the way to the Premier League, but stop messing about with the ball'.
"I still had that non-league mentality. I'd turn up for games at Halifax in my site gear, rigger boots and a burger and chips. But I'd still score three goals!
"Peter Jackson couldn't understand how I could do it. But Kevin said that had to change - no more fast food or booze.
"It was nice to have someone who believed in me - he said I could go all the way to the top."
And he did, with Horsfield playing in the Premier League for Birmingham and West Brom.
But his most important victory came off the pitch when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer in October 2008 before being given the all-clear just two months later.
He fought off another life-threatening illness in 2013 when he sustained blood clots on his lungs.
"I feel so privileged when I look back at all the framed shirts in my snooker room.
"I worked hard, but I was just a brickie from Barnsley - that's what the players at Fulham used to call me.
"I had some fantastic times and I always seemed to score important goals.
"I was promoted five times with five different clubs."
Horsfield and Vardy might be very different players, but both left their mark at Halifax on their way to the top.
"Jamie's done fantastically well and what a great story that is - playing for England, winning the Premier League.
"But he's worked hard for it and good luck to the lad.
"We were different types of players - he's more quick and nimble whereas I was stronger and worked on my stamina.
"I always tried to harass opponents and stop them playing - they always knew they were in a game against me."

Sunny tropical islands with palm trees, white sands and blue lagoons are the epitome of romance, which is why the Maldives is the perfect honeymoon destination. From scuba diving to deep-sea fishing, there are adventures aplenty if you want them, but if you'd rather laze the day cuddling with your own true love, well that's okay too.
Practically every resort in the Maldives has the potential to be a romantic getaway. In some resorts, though, the villas are crowded closer together than they are in others, which makes the population density is higher. You may not be able to find the seclusion you crave at these resorts. At other resorts, the service may be lacking. The staff may not be quite as adept at spa treatments for two or preparing a candlelit dinner on the beach under a full moon.
Anantara Veli
Anantara Veli features a four-night honeymoon package at 25 percent off the price of a regular stay.
Accommodations are in one of Anantara Veli's super luxurious Over Water Bungalows with a king size bed and a very private sun terrace. The honeymoon package includes complimentary champagne and chocolate when the happy couple first arrives, as well as breakfast every day in bed, ten percent off all spa treatments and a Dining By Design meal served in the romantic island locale of your and your partner's choice.
Even if you don't opt for the honeymoon package, Anantara Veli is a romantic place, particularly if you and your significant other both love the water. The resort boasts a first class diving center. You can also participate in water sports like kayaking, windsurfing and kite surfing in the shimmering blue waters of the resort's lagoon. Anantara Veli does not have a house reef, but dive center staff members lead regular expeditions to nearby diving spots every day. The speedboat ride there and back gives you half an hour longer to hold your true love's hand
Soneva Gili
Soneva Gili offers a residence for lovers so private that it is guaranteed to make them feel as though they are the only two people on earth. These 1,400 square foot villas are on stilts, 1600 feet out on the Indian Ocean. You have to use a boat to get to them from shore. There are several extra bedrooms too, in case you want to take your new in-laws along on the honeymoon. (That's a joke, of course.)
The villa comes with its own deepwater coral pool right next to the living room, accessible by means of a water slide on the top sun deck. You don't even have to come to shore to enjoy meals, although the dining and wines at the resort's restaurants are first rate. The staff will be happy to set up a romantic candlelit dinner for two right in your suite. Spa staff is also happy to come to you with a full menu of spa beauty and health treatments including an aphrodisiac couples massage.
Soneva Gili also offers honeymoon packages that include two nights stay in a water villa and a number of customized spa options. Rates depend upon the season when you are booking your honeymoon.
Mirihi is a tiny island with only 6 land villas and 30 over water bungalows in all, which makes it a perfect spot for lovers seeking seclusion. If you let the staff know beforehand that you are honeymooning, you will be greeted upon arrival with a basket of fresh fruit, wine and chocolate as a wedding gift.
Mirihi is a particularly good honeymoon destination for newlyweds who like to snorkel together since the house reef, easily accessible from every villa on the island, is first rate and attracts sharks, turtles and even baby mantas as well as shimmering schools of fish. The resort also features a PADI dive center for sweethearts who want to take their mutual love of diving to the next level, and learn to scuba dive together.
Mirihi is also moderately priced, which makes it a particularly good option for a couple just starting out. The name "Mirihi" derives from the small yellow flowers that grow everywhere on the island.
Cocoa Island
Cocoa Island is another relatively small Maldives resort. All the resort's villas are built over the water, leaving its white sand beaches in a pristine state. You can snorkel in the waters around your villa, or laze the mornings away on the deck, watching the changing colors of the lagoon.
Cocoa Island is one of the more laid back resorts in the Maldives. If you're looking for a place to show off your new trousseau, Cocoa Island is not it. But if you are looking for a place to become intimately acquainted with your new spouse -- or reacquainted with a spouse that the years have trained you to take entirely too much for granted -- you couldn't ask for a better getaway.
Cocoa Island honeymoon packages are not available through the resort, but are available through outside travel consultants.
Every villa in the Nika resort has its own private beach. What kinds of things can newlyweds do on their own private beach? Use your imagination.
Nika offers a level of privacy as well as luxury that makes it a standout among the Maldives' many resorts. The resort is owned by an Italian hotelier whose love of bright colors and gardening is evident everywhere on the island. The gardens are ablaze with color from the archways overgrown with scarlet and purple bougainvillea to flame trees abloom with bright red flowers. The shrubbery grows right up to each front door so the bungalow is completely hidden from sight.
At midnight each night every light on the island is snuffed for a few minutes. It's just you, your own true love and a sky filled with endless galaxies of stars. Of course, what you and your loved one do on a tropical beach at night when there are no lights aound is completely up to you.
Komandoo is the closest thing in the Maldives to an adult-only resort. Some of the literature describes it as an adult-only resort, but strictly speaking this is not the case. Komandoo does not take guests who are under 12 years of age. Of course, that does leave all the awkward teenagers, but presumably they will keep themselves busy canoeing, windsurfing and learning how to scuba at the 5-star PADI dive center.
The Jacuzzi water villas on stilts over the lagoon's crystalline waters are probably the resort's most romantic accommodations. Staff will bring you fruit and chocolates every day when they clean your room. Komandoo's cuisine is a particular standout, and of course you can enjoy it with a catered candlelit dinner for two anywhere on the island. Komandoo will also provide honeymooners and couples celebrating anniversaries with a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine and a fruit basket.

I have made a decision that I will step back from my one name studies for a couple of months. I have a couple of projects that I simply want to do and the one name studies do not add anything to those projects. I will maintain the yDNA study and answer correspondence as it works in. I am owing a few emails at the moment but I will not carry out any more one name study research for the moment. I will return to it in April.
I have one commitment to help with a workshop on DNA the 30th of January and I am starting to prepare those slides but other than that my focus is on writing the story of my family as I know it. I have actually completed my own story to the present although need now to go back in and add the "personal part" that I can find in my correspondence to my mother for over 15 years and other correspondents namely my cousin Ivan in England over a twenty year period and my Great Aunt Sarah for about five years. I have both sides of correspondence with my mother as she returned my letters to me.
All the Best of the New Year to everyone. I will continue with the 52 ancestor challenge although perhaps the detail will be added where missing over the year particularly for the French Canadian ancestors as I need trips to Library and Archives Canada to flesh out that information.

International architectural firm Aedas is proposing to build the Pentominium Dubai, in Dubai Marina, and if realized, it would potentially be the tallest residential tower in the world.
The extremely thin tower will rise 516 meters and will hold a Sky Lounge, Sky Pool, business centre, a private observation deck, segregated health clubs, a cigar lounge, a banqueting hall and private theatre. In addition to the state-of-the-art amenities and luxurious residences, all public areas in the Pentominium Dubai will be crystallized by Swarovski and each unit will be fitted with sound equipment from Bang & Olufsen.
In order to best deal with challenges posed by both the weather and the proximity of the surrounding buildings, the Pentominium Dubai will have two sides built between a shared core. One side of the building will be staggered in shape allowing for privacy and structural stability.

Affirmative Action Plans
What's an Affirmative Action Plan? Can I get away without doing one?
You're rolling the dice with the feds if you're required to have an Affirmative Action Plan and fail to file one, Any organization that has more than 50 employees and receives more than $50,000 per yearfrom federal contracts (or is a subcontractor for a company that meets these criteria) must maintainan Affirmative Action Plan as required by federal law. Basically an AAP reports the demographic makeup of your workforce compared to the relevant labor pool. You must maintain and report detailed employee data on minorities, women, disabled persons and veterans employed in your workplace.
An AAP is like a scientific analysis of your employees. It begins with a statement verifying that your organization is an Equal Opportunity employer and ends with a detailed analysis of the targetedclasses of workers (women, minorities, veterans and the disabled) currently employed in your workplace.
How do I do an AAP?
Overwhelming, isn't it? Preparing an AAP is time-consuming and complicated Asure Consulting can prepare your Affirmative Action Plan(s) for you including narrativesjob force analysis, workforce analysis, availability and utilization analysis, basic salary analysis, goals and progress on current goals. We'll also coach one of your employees on how to maintain a system for managing applicant data. We make sure you comply with the government's requirements. Your AAP will be prepared by a highly trained and accredited HR professionalls). Our staff members are all certified by the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) and the Human Resource Certification Institute (HRCI),
An Affirmative Action Plan typically ranges from $2000 to $5000 depending on the size and complexity of the organization, number of employees, and number of locations,
Call or email for a quote or for more information.
If government contracts are important to your business then you will want to comply with Affirmative Action

Richard Hauser a gaming expert claims that big land based casinos will try to use their brand power to overwhelm the smaller foreign-based online casinos. The companies that are not seeing profits from their new resorts, are now turning to online venues as a new source of income.
Giant casino corporations are expected to try to dominate the industry as they anticipate the turn around on the rules of engagement in the United States.
The American Gaming Association, the leading advocate for the big Nevada and New Jersey casino operators is going through major changes in it's approach to online gambling. Formerly a strict opponent, the American Gaming Association is now cautiously supporting a form of licensed and regulated Internet gaming in the USA.
Strong political connections to these land based gambling companies, has led to speculation that the lobbing by these big companies will push legislators to adopt a licensing policy in their favour. The deep pockets of these firms and the argument that the failing land based gambling economy needs new revenue sources may very well be the required stimulus for the change.
A watchful eye is being trained on these developments by the European online gambling operators, represented by the Remote Gaming Association. The RGA will want the US to honor its pledges to free trade in services, or else it may continue its grievance before the European Commission. The EC has recently completed an investigation into US Internet gambling policies, and may pursue the case to the World Trade Organization if protectionist measures surface.
Experts on the subject warn there are some big fish out there in the pond and they are ready and able to eat the small ones whole if given the opportunity. Right now those major companies are using all the tools they have to ensure that they survive.

(I. Hunter, W. Stevenson)
Lead vocals: Jermaine
Girl, as you walk by
I see the sign so deep inside.
I knew it had to be
When you smiled for a little while.
I heard the same rhapsody
So lovely and so fair.
I knew right then and there
That you were made for me.
And it wasn't hard to see
Guess I was born to love you.
Guess I was born to love you.
Darling I, I was born to love you
Give my love to no one but you.
This is a man with the future in his hands
Don't let go, don't let go,
Baby, don't let go.
You better come on
And take my hand
'cause I can't understand
This feeling in my soul
But I know that I would rather die
Than to let this feeling go
Oh, now, girl, can you see
That this was meant to be?
It's funny but it's true
Guess I was born to love you.
Guess I was born to love you.
Guess I was born to love you.
... Etc to fade

It might be dead, but Bob and Harvey Weinstein look set to pump their Miramax studio label a few more times.
The Weinstein Company has done a twenty-year deal with Colony Capital that will allow the former to raid Miramax's library and develop sequels, series and stage productions based on old hits.
On the cards? On the big screen expect sequels to "Shakespeare in Love" and "Rounders". On the small screen, TV series remakes of "Good Will Hunting" and "Flirting with Disaster".
There's also various in-development projects which TWC will now be able to develop including the Stephen Colbert-penned comedy "The Alibi," and "The Ninth Life of Louis Drax" which Anthony Minghella and Sydney Pollack both worked on before their passing.
Harvey Weinstein says: "I personally have never made a sequel, but I will make Shakespeare in Love as one. I've always wanted to do that and now we have the impetus to. There is so much intellectual property, and we're in an age where, for however long it lasts, content is king."
He also says he's discussed making a "Rounders" sequel with Matt Damon and separately says he hopes to have Robert De Niro in the villain role:
"I would say that's going to be instantaneous. The guys [writers David Levien and Brian Koppelman] have a great idea, a way to make it more international where you start the card game in Paris, that's all I want to say. There might be a certain beautiful Parisian actress involved in it, and then we're off to the racetrack and Vegas with Matty and Edward Norton, and a new supervillain to replace John Malkovich."

Текст на песента
By the time I was your age, I'd give anything
To fall in love truly, was all I could think
That's when I met your mother, the girl of my dreams
The most beautiful woman, that I'd ever seen
She said, "Boy can I tell you a wonderful thing?
I can't help but notice, you're staring at me.
I know I shouldn't say this, but I really believe
I can tell by your eyes that you're in love with me"
Now son, I'm only telling you this...
Because life, can do terrible things
Now most of the time, we'd had too much to drink
And we'd laugh at the stars and we'd share everything
Too young to notice, and too dumb to care
Love was a story, that couldn't compare
I said, "Girl, can I tell you a wonderful thing?
I made you a present with paper and string.
Open with care now, I'm asking you, please.
You know that I love you, will you marry me?"
Now son, I'm only telling you this...
Because life, can do terrible things
You'll learn, one day, I'll hope and I'll pray
That God, shows you differently
She said, "Boy can I tell you, a terrible thing?
It seems that I'm sick and I've only got weeks.
Please, don't be sad now, I really believe
You were the greatest thing that ever happened to me"
Slow, so slow
I fell to the ground, on my knees
So don't fall in love, there's just too much to lose
If given the choice, then, I'm begging you, choose
To walk away, walk away, don't let her get you.
I can't bear to see the same happen to you.
Now son, I'm only telling you this...
...Because life, can do terrible things

2018 Fall Season Assessment - Register HERE
As represented in North Delta Soccer Club's mission statement, the club wants to ensure that our players are in a positive environment allowing them to participate at a level of their abilities and desire, to accomplish this we hold assessments to give players the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities to our technical staff.
The assessment process is a combination of past season coaches assessments that have been completed throughout the previous season as well as post season assessment sessions. There are generally 1-3 post season assessment sessions per age group depending on age and numbers of players. Post season assessment sessions are run by team coaching staff in conjunction with technical staff coaches.
Player performance in training and games during the previous season is taken into consideration during the selection process. All players interested in playing at the REP level are required to attend all assessment sessions. A player that has to miss assessments due to injury, illness or other valid reasons, must contact us to arrange an alternative means of assessment. They must register for assessments and contact our technical staff for permission to miss an assessment date.
Assessments is the main opportunity for players to showcase their abilities and earn selection to the team for the following season. The post-season assessments will provide a final opportunity for coaching staff to consider players for selection as they are being assessed against other players who may be new to the Club or new to the divisional level.
At the conclusion of the final assessment, the Rep team coach (in consultation with the Club's Technical Staff) will be asked to finalize the team roster, and email notices will be prepared for each player advising them that they have made the team, or if they have not been selected at this time. It is important that we have an accurate email address for all players. Please be careful when adding your email address to the system.
As all age groups will have assessments to select multiple teams at the same time we will have a systematic offer and acceptance process. You will receive an email from the Club as soon as the team selection process has been completed and approved by the technical staff. The email received will require the player to accept the position on the team within 48 hours and complete registration. You will be given a link to an online form that will guide you through accepting the position. If you do not accept the position within 48 hours the club may move on to another player down the list.
Assessment Process
Player must register online and pay the one time $15 Assessment fee.
A schedule of Assessment times is posted under "Schedules", please make sure players attend the correct assessment times. In the event of technical issues those registered for assessments will receive a an updated schedule in the event of any changes. Please note that times are subject to change.
Age levels for the 2017-2018 Fall/Winter Season are as follows:

Would you feel its to late to change her mindset? By becoming the alpha of the relationship?
See I have tries once but very lightly. She was raised to be strong and show no emotion. That a guy will not provide anything for her that she cannot do on her own. Her mother has never told her " I love you ". She has expressed she feels like a dude and its hard for her to talk or for her to be sensitive to the issue.

You cannot change other people....only yourself. Standing up for yourself and being a man is something you do for yourself, not to try and change someone else.
It comes down to deciding for yourself how you deserve to be treated. If you're not getting what you need or want and there is no hope that you will. The choice is fairly simple.
But from what you described of her, there is no changing that.....unless she has some epiphany on her own and decides to seek help for herself.

Hey guys! Apologies for the hiatus. I was recently in Bamako for work and I absolutely fell in love with the people and their love for art. Here are a few highlights:
The museum & botanical gardens are a must go!... Breathtakingly beautiful!
Pouting with a clay figurine in a depiction of their local transport
Miniature depiction of a building in Timbuktu
Stone carving
Pretty flowers at the botanical gardens
Wild flower amid the hyacinth in the Niger River
Keeping stylish while fishing
A rainstorm on the River Niger
Their pastries were super delicious! Plus I had ginger & hibiscus juice for the first time ever!
The Bogolan or 'mud-cloth' is the quintessential fabric of West Africa that is particularly associated with Mali.

once again, never fails, a great looking dish you have here.
short ribs are fantastic any way they are prepared. i first cooked them for a scandinavian menu with a finishing to the sauce of sour cream and dill. all on top of broad egg noodles.
but just a few weeks ago i went to a new california/mexican place here in bangkok that had them on the menu:
prime australian beef short ribs ~ braised with corona beer and mexican spices.
right beer. some of the best beef i have ever eaten, just fell off the bone.
the chef is a guy from california who has opened a few mexican and bbq joints in town and he was the first guy in thailand to truly replicate mexican cuisine and american smoke pit bbq. if anyone ever comes to town, and wants something other than thai food, try this joint out.

Sweet little cookie
In honor of OREO's 100th birthday (geez, I've been a fan for half of their existence!), I thought I'd post my absolute favorite OREO recipe. It's super easy. Super decadent.
Dirt Pudding
19 oz crushed OREOs
2 sm boxes French Vanilla Pudding
2 3/4 C milk
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1 C powdered sugar
1/2 stick butter
8 oz Cool Whip
In a small bowl, mix pudding & milk. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and butter. Add pudding mixture & cool whip. Mix all together.
Layer 1/2 of the crushed OREOs in a 13" x 9" pan, cover with the pudding filling mixture. Layer remaining OREOs on top. Refrigerate.

Benjamin Yount, Metro Networks
Springfield, IL-(Effingham Radio)- The campaign of Governor Rauner is taking issue with an ad from Democratic challenger J.B. Pritzker and is calling for it to be pulled.
The ad features a narrator saying other governors have spoken out against states supporting Donald Trump taking children away from their parents, but Rauner wasn't giving it any thought.
Campaign officials say the ad takes the governor out of context and he was responding to a question if he would send the Illinois National Guard to the Mexican border.
The governor's camp is calling the ad false and deceitful.

On the same day dozens of small business owners from across New York rallied at the state Capitol, Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli released a report highlighting the nearly $1 trillion in annual revenues small businesses generate for the state.
According to the report: "New York's small businesses generated $954 billion in receipts in 2012, the latest figures available, accounting for approximately 43 percent of all business receipts in New York, according to DiNapoli's report.
Among the more than 455,000 businesses in New York, more than 451,000 are small businesses. Almost two-thirds of small businesses have fewer than five employees. More than 80 percent have fewer than ten employees.
Firms with 20 to 99 employees comprised approximately one-third of the total small business employment with over 1.2 million employees. The larger firms (those with 100 to 499 employees) had the highest average payroll per employee, nearly $56,000 per year."
This report should serve as a stark reminder to lawmakers of the myriad of benefits small businesses bring to their communities as they contemplate a 67 percent increase in the state's minimum wage.
That wage increase would cost anywhere from 200k to 600k and further erode the job prospects and opportunities for growth among our state's poorest citizens.
Please visit www.minimumwagerealitycheck.org to learn more about this misguided proposal and to join our growing coalition against the $15 an hour minimum wage.

Mystery Ford SUV Mule Spied at Grand Canyon -- New Explorer or Everest?
Fender Vent, Six-Lug Wheels Suggest Non-U.S. Model
A Truck Trend reader under the Twitter handle @GuyNamedBrett took some photos of a mysterious Ford SUV mule spotted near the Grand Canyon in Arizona. At first glance, it looks like an Explorer, but the mismatched rear doors and broken beltline, as well as the front fender vent and 6-lug wheels suggest it may be development mule for the upcoming Everest SUV sold in Asia-Pacific markets.
Although the Everest is similar in size and style to the North America-spec Explorer, it is a full body-on-frame SUV that shares most of its running gear with the T6 Ranger truck. The Everest will also replace the outgoing Ford Territory, an Australian-market SUV that will cease production at the end of 2016, along with the rest of Ford Australia's manufacturing operations.
The next-generation Everest concept was unveiled at the 2014 Beijing Auto Show, but few mechanical details were included with its debut. The likely engine options are the 3.2L I-5 turbodiesel used in the T6 Ranger and offered as an option on the 2015 Ford Transit. A naturally aspirated 3.5L V-6 and possibly even the new 2.7L EcoBoost V-6 could be offered as well.
Foreign-market vehicles are often brought to the U.S. for testing, due to our broad range of climate conditions and altitudes, so just because this mule is seen driving on U.S. soil is no guarantee of its eventual sale here, but we can hope.

HyperSound Directional Audio Benefits Listeners With Hearing Loss
HyperSound Directional Audio Benefits Listeners With Hearing Loss
SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - Feb 19, 2014) - Parametric Sound Corporation (NASDAQ: PAMT), a leading innovator of audio products and solutions, today announced it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for the marketing of the HyperSound® Audio System as a hearing improvement device. The HyperSound technology has been shown to improve the clarity of audio and speech comprehension in individuals with certain hearing impairments.
HyperSound is an innovation in audio that uses a thin film to generate an ultrasonic beam of sound. Like a flashlight controls a ray of light, HyperSound directs sound in a narrow beam limiting it to a specific location, creating a precise audio zone. When an individual enters the beam's radius, they hear immersive 3D audio, similar to wearing a surround sound headset. The characteristics of the HyperSound audio beam have been shown to enable individuals with certain hearing impairments to hear audio with more clarity. The Company believes that the combination of exceptional control over the placement of audio, and the immersive quality of the sound, makes HyperSound a disruptive innovation that has the potential to change not only the hearing-loss market, but commercial and consumer markets as well.
"We are extremely pleased to have passed the important milestone of FDA clearance," said Juergen Stark, CEO of Parametric Sound Corporation. "We are hard at work on the next generation of HyperSound products and we are confident they will improve the quality of life for millions of people who suffer from hearing impairments."
Researchers estimate that one in five Americans, and one in three people over age 65, suffer from hearing loss. Impacting over 48 million Americans, hearing loss is the third most common physical condition in the United States after arthritis and heart disease. An estimated 360 million people worldwide suffer from some form of hearing loss.

Illinois Drug Crime Defense Attorneys
Serving Clients Arrested in DuPage, Kane, Will, Cook and DeKalb Counties
In Illinois, a conviction for a felony Class X drug offense sale, manufacture, or possession with the intent to distribute of heroin, cocaine, LSD, morphine, or methamphetamine means considerable fines and a minimum sentence of at least six years. If there was a firearm involved, or it was within 1500 feet of a church, school, or public park, those penalties can double. At the law offices of Donahue & Sowa, we know the potential cost of drug charges. We will zealously defend you if you have been accused of a drug crime in Chicago or its suburbs.
Drug Arrest Defense Lawyers
The criminal defense attorneys are experienced in defending people accused of all Illinois drug felonies and misdemeanors--from possession of small amounts of marijuana (cannabis) to Super X felonies. We can defend you if you have been charged with:
- Possession of methamphetamine (crystal meth), cannabis, cocaine, heroin, LSD, psilocybin mushrooms, and prescription drugs, including Vicodin, Valium, Ritalin, and Oxycontin
- Conspiracy
- Sale
- Possession with Intent to Distribute
- Manufacture
- Firearms possession
- Trafficking
Donahue & Sowa is one of the oldest law firms in Illinois dedicated to criminal defense. We have a number of effective defense strategies and aggressively challenge the prosecutor's evidence using devices such as a motion to suppress evidence because of the questionable legality of a search warrant. In some instances, however, we are able to avoid traditional prosecution altogether in exchange for a lesser alternative such as drug court.
Contact an Illinois Drug Arrest Defense Lawyer
If you have been accused of possession with intent in northern Illinois, contact an experienced criminal defense attorney at Donahue & Sowa at either our Naperville or Geneva office.
