Snoqualmie-North Bend Police Department
Friday, Nov. 10
Mischief: At 7:20 p.m., a caller on SE Braeburn Street, Snoqualmie, reported that someone had vandalized his front yard some time in the past four days. Police met with the caller and a neighbor, who mentioned that there had been a wind storm two nights earlier that had blown garbage around the yard.
Dog in car: At 6:13 p.m., a caller complained that a large dog had been left inside a black pickup truck in the parking lot of a store in the 400 block of SW Mount Si Boulevard. Police officers checked on the dog, which seemed fine, and told the caller they couldn't really do anything for a dog that spends a lot of time in a car. They told the caller to contact animal control, unless the dog seemed to be in danger.
Monday, Nov. 13
Road rage: At 4:30 p.m., a caller contacted police to report that he was being followed by another vehicle on North Bend Way after a road-rage incident on Interstate 90. The caller said the vehicle was tailgating for a while, then passed him and was periodically braking, then got behind him again. The caller met police at the outlet mall and the other vehicle followed, running a red light to stay behind the caller. Police spoke to both drivers and determined that bad tempers had led to bad driving from both of them.
Tuesday, Nov. 14
Suspicious: Police investigated a report of suspicious behavior at a business in the 400 block of E. North Bend Way. Two men had reportedly been standing outside the business, making people uncomfortable. A caller thought the two were on drugs and got a partial license plate number from the red SUV the two left in. Police identified the vehicle, but could not locate it.
Thursday, Nov. 16
Ejected: At 12:56 p.m., police were called to a hotel in the 6500 block of Railroad Avenue, to remove a guest who was arguing with staff and refusing to leave. Police removed the woman from the hotel and walked her to her car, but since she was under the influence of narcotics, they did not give her the keys. The woman said she'd wait in her car until her daughter came to get her. The police held her keys for her to pick up at the police department. At 3:08 police were again called to the hotel, to remove the woman from the nearby gift shop. She said she didn't realize the gift shop was on the same property and had just gone there to charge her phone. She returned to her vehicle.
Saturday, Nov. 18
Malicious mischief: At 10:15 a.m., police were called to report a rock thrown at a car on Curtis Drive SE, Snoqualmie. Police learned that this was an ongoing problem but did not get any information on the suspect.
Fall City Fire Department
Thursday, Nov. 9
Pedestrian accident: At 6:25 a.m., the Fall City aid car responded with Snoqualmie Fire for a reported car vs. pedestrian accident. Units from Snoqualmie arrived on scene first and the Fall City aid car was cancelled.
Short of breath: At 6:56 a.m., the Fall City Aid Car responded to a report of an 83-year-old man who was short of breath. The patient was evaluated by EMTs and Bellevue medics and then transported to an area hospital via private ambulance.
Saturday, Nov. 11
False alarm: At 3:05 p.m., the Fall City Fire engine responded to investigate a commercial fire alarm. There was no fire found and the system was reset.
Monday, Nov. 13
Cardiac arrest: At 11:16 a.m., the Fall City aid car responded to a report of a 71-year-old woman in cardiac arrest. Snoqualmie Fire and Bellevue Medics responded as well. The crew performed CPR but the woman died at the scene.
Burn: At 4 p.m., the Fall City aid car was dispatched to a report of a 10-year-old girl who had burned her leg. They evaluated the child and she was taken to an urgent-care facility by her family.
Tree falls on house: At 5:26 p.m., the Fall City aid car responded to a report of a tree that had fallen into a house. They arrived at the scene and found no injuries. The crew assisted in salvaging property from the incident.
Tree on wires: At 5:42 p.m., the Fall City Fire Chief responded with an Eastside Fire and Rescue Engine to a report of a tree that had fallen into some power lines. No problems were found.
Snoqualmie Fire Department
Saturday, Nov. 18
Fall: At 9:49 a.m., Snoqualmie firefighters assisted a 76-year-old woman who'd tripped on a carpet at home. She said she had on new shoes and they stuck to the roll-up rug causing her to trip. She said she was uninjured and just needed help getting to her feet. Firefighters helped her to her chair, then downstairs to her car.
Collision: At 3:58 p.m., the department was dispatched to a two-vehicle, low-speed accident at the Upper Falls parking lot intersection. Firefighters managed one of the cars while other units assisted the patients and second vehicle. One patient was transported to an area hospital and the other to a local hospital.
Wednesday, Nov. 22
Breathing trouble: At 8:29 a.m. Snoqualmie firefighters responded to a report of a man having difficulty breathing. When they arrived, the patient had left the scene.
Medical aid: In addition, Snoqualmie EMTs responded to eight medical aid incidents, bringing the total number of calls to date to 959.

Being a web developer and photographer, I have decided to have a good play with JQuery which is fast becoming the next best thing to sliced bread in the Web world. I am having fun. In fact I haven't had this much fun since I played with sprites and machine code on my old Commodore 64, Amiga etc. I am in geek heaven!
I have set up a new area on my site that I am jokingly calling the lab which yes, is a bit, Google if I admit it. You can find it at http://www.nicklewis.net/lab.
Currently on show there is a little bit of a play around with something I've discovered this weekend called mbgallery by a guy called Matteo Bicocchi who has been doing very interesting things with the JQuery technology. His site is located at http://pupunzi.wordpress.com/
It's thanks to Matteo that I have started some of my own experimentation with new web technology as a means of presenting photography and other media in more imaginative ways. This will lead onto some wordpress plugins, so that these ideas can be put to good use on the sites that I develop currently and in the future.
I am playing with the idea of putting something funky together to display my forthcoming batch of Italian photos (yes, we are off there very soon).
Enjoy and please do pop some comments in and tell me about your JQuery knowledge…. dying to learn more about it!

Visit of the Embassy's Cultural Advisor to New Orleans [fr]
Bénédicte de Montlaur, who recently began her position as the head of Cultural Services at the Embassy of France, visited New Orleans on September 21 and 22. Ms. de Montlaur experienced an action-packed visit, aimed at the promotion of new and central cultural initiatives across Louisiana: French language education; bilingualism and immersion schools in New Orleans; preparation for the Tricenntenial of New Orleans in 2018 with the office of Mayor Mitch Landrieu (exciting program to come!); cooperation with the New Orleans Museum of Art, the New Orleans Opera, and Festival International in Lafayette; our artistic project with the Arts Council, LUNA Fête; and, finally, a meeting with the President of Tulane University.
Ms. de Montlaur, inspired by her visit to the Crescent City, will surely be an asset in building more great and beautiful projects in service to the culture, education and Francophonie in Louisiana.
A bientôt !
Ms. Susan Taylor, Director of NOMA, Ms. de Montlaur and Mr. Grégor Trumel

Have you checked the amount of detergent used? Have you used fabric softener?
■ Using more than adequate amount of detergent will generate excessive foam and rinsing may not work.
■ Liquid detergent or natural detergent forms a considerable amount of foam compared to normal detergent,

Mackenzie Ziegler Reveals Her Worst Ever Concert Experience (Exclusive)
We've all had good and bad experiences at concerts in our lifetime, and so has Mackenzie Ziegler.
The "Monsters AKA Haters" singer dished about her worst concert experience — and it was at Justin Bieber's concert!
It wasn't really about his performance, which we're sure was great. It was because of another thing altogether.
"I have loved every show that I've gone to so far, but I guess my worst experience would be at when I went to see Justin Bieber," she told us.
Mackenzie continues, "I was so small that I had to stand on the seat to be able to see and I kept getting banged into people."
"I still loved the show though."
Awww…well, we know her concerts with Johnny Orlando will be better than this for her fans.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Benefits of a Vegetarian Diet and other Vegetarian topics.
You will find that the vegetables on this list are not very common so don't be surprised if you don't find too many favorites here. Let's take a look at these.
Artichoke, Eggplant, Okra, Split Peas, Avocado, Celery, Chickpeas, Cucumber, Green Beans, Kidney Beans, Lentil Beans, Navy Beans, Radishes, Turnips, Zucchini
It looks like the majority of these vegetables are legumes, however they are actually vegetables if you recall my mentioning it in one of my previous blogs. Although all of these are not considered the cream of the crop as far as providing health benefits they are still very important to include in your diet. So, if you haven't been eating a lot of these it would be a good idea to start doing so. There are a lot of great recipes for the legumes that I will include later on.
I think you should re-examine the health-promoting benefits of some of them, especially asparagus. Asparagus is loaded with great things for good health -- it's one of the world's healthiest foods. Asparagus is definitely in the "cream of the crop" category.
Thank you, David, you are absolutely right, Asparagus should be in the "cream of the crop" category. I have corrected this error.
I have always heard that Avocado is a great veggie(fruit?) and could be sustaining if it was the only thing you ate. Not that anyone would do that. Are you putting it on the list because of Fat content? I'm not saying live on one veggie alone but it's hard for me to consider any of these items second best...they are all regulars in our house (especially with my kids!)! Could you clarify for me...Thanks!
I didn't mean to imply that these vegetables are not great since they are not listed in the "cream of the crop" category. What I meant is that according to research they are not as superior in vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients however they are still very important to have in your diet so enjoy your avocado - this is one of my favorite veggie and I eat it quite often myself - and whatever else is on this list and have confidence that you and your kids are eating healthy.

In today's society, everything seems to be moving rapidly and people feel the need to respond with the popular Acer laptop. These machines can perform a number of different tasks, whether you are working at home or at the office. In fact, most organizations now days allow their employees to work at home. Since Acer laptops are mobile, the risk of losing data is greater than with a desktop computer.
A number of different factors can cause a portable hard disk to fail. One of the most common causes of failure is the programs. Some software that is pre-installed on the machine can make your Acer laptop fail to function properly and eventually a total failure of the hard drive will result. Another common reason for failure is a defective disk. Here the features of the unit are lost, mainly due to an error recovery mechanism of the laptop.
Once the damage occurs to the operating system or hard disk failure occurs, you may lose all of the data on your Acer laptop hard drive. Acer laptop data recovery is the removal of all or part of the drive in a sterile environment in order to access all data stored on the laptop. If the disk error is mainly due to problems with the software, then the whole system needs to be completely revised and reprogrammed to perform laptop data recovery on your Acer computer.

The upbeat and controversial filmmaker Karan Johar recently gave his views on the Indian economy. The director said just like films speed up after the interval, the Indian economy too should accelerate in the second half of the current fiscal, Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar said today. The Indian economy may have slowed in last two quarters but it is still growing and so there is no space for pessimism, he said at an event.
"I feel strongly that the interval point in cinema is a great point. We all know that in second half of most cinema things speed up. That's my feeling for Indian economy," he said. "When it comes to India, I'm hoping for a glorious second half and a great innings ahead," he added.
The 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham' director said instead of looking at the glass as half empty, it should be viewed as half full. "Here there are so many negative and pessimistic voices about the economy," he said. "In Europe they are hoping... their economic growth is flat and not negative."
The economy, he said, would grow at 6.7 per cent as opposed to previously projected 7.3 per cent, according to RBI. "That's still not flat, we are still on our way up. And I feel very strongly that just like our films, our narrative is dramatic, sometimes melodramatic."
"It always has a tinge or humour but eventually there is a happy ending - that's the way our cinema is. That's pretty much my hope the narrative of India would always be," he said. Yesterday, the Reserve Bank projected growth to rise from 5.7 per cent in the first quarter - the lowest in three years - to 6.4 per cent in second, and further to 7.1 per cent in the third quarter.
The growth would peak to 7.7 per cent in the fourth quarter of the fiscal ending March 2018. Later at a press briefing, Johar said, "I feel that sometimes we tend to get extremely pessimistic about our environment and our economic political and social stability." Stating that he is someone who is exceptionally optimistic, he said India has stable political governance with a majority government.
"We definitely had a growth economically. Yes, it may not be in the estimate we had hoped for, but it definitely exists. We are not minus, we are definitely not flat. We are showing a growth," he said.

26 Hours in NYC: *part one
(originally published on April 26, 2013)
I wish I could say things have completely returned to normal here in Boston. They haven't, but things are better. Much, much better. Thanks for asking.
The weekend before all this madness overtook our lives, the Mr. and I had a wonderful whirlwind 26-hour trip to New York City.
Our LimoLiner tickets were about to expire (left over from our Hurricane Sandy-cancelled trip to watch our friend run the NYC Marathon back in the fall) so we decided to make use of them as we could. A last minute idea, we could only find room on the 12pm bus to NYC on Saturday. I work on Patriots Day and the Mr. wanted to be here for the Boston Marathon, so we had to return on Sunday. 26 hours was all we had.
The LimoLiner is quite nice and only accommodates 28 people. It's spacious and comfortable, has free wifi and snacks, and drops you off conveniently in Midtown.
We stayed at the Strand (also in Midtown) and it was perfect for our short stay. The rooms are tiny, but if you are only going to be in it to sleep for a few hours, who cares? Plus it had a fabulous surprise I'll share with you at the end of this post!
I keep ongoing lists of things I want to do in places I want to visit so it was really easy to plan out this trip for maximum capacity. Our first stop after dropping off our bags was Laduree, of French macaron fame.
There was a line there, of course, but it was well organized and they gave us a laminated sheet of all the flavors available so we could select them easily. Look at all the pretty boxes and ribbons! The people working there seemed to be trained in a special placing-of-macaron-in-box flourish they did with their hand. Totally intimidating and if I didn't want those pretty little cookies so bad, I would have ran out of there.
Gorgeous, right?
We ended up with a box of six. Basically because the Mr. suggested four and I always want more than whatever he thinks is appropriate. It's a little thing we have going. My favorite was the lime basil version.
We passed this awesome place on the way to our next destination. A "snack bar" with a fuzzy flying pig sign? Going on the next NYC visit list!
Our next location was the one thing I wanted to do for sure while we were here because it is number 68 on my Mother List -- drink a martini at Bemelmans Bar in The Carlyle.
Here's the Bombay Sapphire martini, which came with a giant pitcher of martini refills. OK, it was just the extra liquid from the shaker but seriously, it never ended. The Mr. said to me, "I've never seen your face get so red." He's never seen me drink 6 gallons of gin.
My low tolerance for martinis aside, the place is AWESOME! The walls are painted by Madeline artist, Ludwig Bemelmans. Right in front of us was this familiar sight. The place filled up quickly, started to buzz with conversation, and then a pianist started to play. I was swooning, or maybe just swaying at this point! He even played Take Five, which I captured for you here on Vine. Make sure you turn on the sound!
As soon as we finished our drinks, we grabbed a cab to Ray's Pizza for what my husband promised would be fantastic New York pizza. He grew up in Jersey, right outside the city, and will fold in half anything that even slightly resembles pizza. I've seen him fold one appetizer barely two inches in diameter. "When in Rome," I said, and joined him in the folding. (Although I would like to point out that pizza tastes better when the first thing that hits your mouth is cheese. Just sayin'.)
This dog with the interesting fashion accessory was waiting outside the entire time.
The Mr. and I then walked a few blocks and encountered more interesting creatures on our stroll.
I really wanted to see the scales of the universe at the Rose Center for Earth and Space at night. We must have walked around in circles for over an hour while we waited for the sun to set and the planets to illuminate. I thought the earth would look a little more earth-like so we waited much longer than necessary. Thanks to the Mr. for indulging my little obsession.
We then headed back to our hotel, where we took the elevator to the roof.
Where THIS was waiting for us! The retractable roof was open at the Top of the Strand and a really awesome DJ was playing. I think he was 12, but who isn't these days? Here's a little snippet on Vine.
And that was only Saturday! Look for part two next week!
This Month ...
- watching The Super Mr. run into the Atlantic Ocean to ring in the new year
- having a cozy dinner with friends and then toasting the new year at Harbor Lounge
- saying goodbye to baggage from 2018 at the Re-rooters Day Celebration
- easing into the deep winter pace of the next couple months out here at the end of the world
- starting my reading project
- celebrating Nancy Pelosi Day as she takes back the Speakership (woo! hoo!)

As far as balancing it all, I don't do a great job of it. Some piece is always getting ignored. I just try really hard to change which piece and make sure that my kids and husband are very seldom that piece.ReplyDelete
Good luck and if you figure it out, make sure to share. ;o)
Love this, thank you so much for sharing! I too have met so many fabulous women who have inspired me, and continue to.ReplyDelete

As far as balance... hmm that's a toughie - I sneak tweets in when I'm in the washroom - which is far TMI :) I also write up 2-3 blog posts on a Sunday night, then schedule them to publish through the week. That gives me time to comment on blogs for the rest of the week. I also schedule tweets with HootSuite :)

And to think that anyone had a doubt in their mind that you'd wave your hand farewell to punching the clock! I saw that coming a MILE away! Why? Cuz you have what it takes. Self employment has its ups and downs, but the ups hang around longer when you have a positive spirit, a passion deep within, a mission that drives you and a product/service that can stand confidently on its own! You're gonna be just fine and Ironkids will "pay" you back 100 fold in so many different ways. You'll see! :) As for doing it all? HA! that comes alongside my A-type and daily low grade anxiety that doesnt let me idle very well at all! Why do you think theres a "Blackberry ban after 7pm" rule in my house!? LOL!ReplyDelete
Thanks a mil for including me here, and thanks for real life friendship.
Shara you know you are my idol! What you can do amazes me!!ReplyDelete
Ann Marie . . .it all starts with moms! We are the mothers of invention!
Laurel . . there will be downs? What? Where? When? No downs . . only ups from here!!!
Sherri you have always been my biggest cheerleader! I gotta get you some IronKids pom poms!!
And Shawna . . . your positive spirit and awesome energy is a magnet !! Somehow we will find a way to work together . and if not, we will just hang together !! Look forward to our next entrepreneur event!!!
What a beautiful post!ReplyDelete
Congratulation on your success and I can't wait to see what great things the future holds for you!

If you haven't already, please read this super brave+powerful+important post by Tiffany Martinez!
"There are students who will be assumed capable without the need to list their credentials in the beginning of a reflective piece. How many degrees do I need for someone to believe I am an academic?"
My mother has no less than 10 degrees. When she moved from Cuba to America, she was told that education was the only way to the top. And for every degree she got, she was told it was not enough. And when she got a whole slew of degrees, she was told things like, "Why are you overcompensating? You must be super bad at something else. That's just too much."
The first time I ever got accused of plagiarism, it was in an extremely similar manner to Tiffany Martinez. I was told that my language was too advanced, too clear, and that even though it was consistent throughout my piece, I must have somehow copied and pasted from somewhere else. It was suggested briefly that I could have had an adult help me… but notably, my own mother was left out of that suggestion.
I was so scared to go home and tell my mom, worried that she wouldn't believe I didn't cheat. But when I handed her the note from the teacher my mother beamed. She still brings the story up today. The time her daughter wrote so well the teacher thought it had been written by… well, a 'real' American child. Someone who wasn't first generation, someone who hadn't grown up on a mix of Yiddish/ Spanish/ 'Broken' English. The fact that there was a perceived dissonance between my heritage and my actions was a point of pride. A smart, well-spoken, assimilated child: the ultimate goal of the poor immigrant.
I don't mean this in any way as an insult to my mom. She navigated within a messed up, racist system the best she could. Growing up I hated her insistence that my English speaking/reading/writing/analytical skills all needed to consistently be so much better than those of my classmates. I was so annoyed that I wasn't allowed to use slang at home. I was so frustrated when I was made to leave the dinner table to look up a word in the giant dictionary we still have on a pedestal in the center of the living room, or to turn off the TV for several hours of reading out loud to my dogs each and every night. None of the other kids ever had to do this. I didn't get it. It didn't feel fair.
All of her hard work- and by extension, mine- meant that my reading skills tested at college level by the time I reached 4th grade. I have never gotten less than an A in any English class I've taken, including honors/AP. And when I took the MCAT recently, I didn't spend a single day studying for the English part, and got a perfect score.
My English skills have given me so many opportunities and privileges that she never had. People are always surprised when they find out I'm first generation, and I've been told multiple times it's because of how advanced my English is.
"Wow, you don't SOUND first generation!"
It's not a problem with my mother, and it's not a problem with me. It's a problem with how our system is run. How immigrants and their children are treated. The assumptions made before people even meet us that continue to persist long after.
It has been made clear to both of us we need to speak "American" to get anywhere in life. We have both been forced for the majority of our lives to use "THEIR" words…. only to be told that they will never be OUR words, no matter what.
When my mother moved to this country America did its best to take her culture, her pride, and her achievements away from her. They took away her language to the point where she struggles to remember words in Spanish she has no problem using in English. America has taken so much from us, but they cannot take our voice.
English is my best language. These are MY words. My mother's words. Tiffany Martinez's words. So we've surpassed America's expectations for us time and time again, leaving non-immigrant Americans confused and angry? That's just too bad. THEIR system, THEIR problem. They can go ahead and make all the excuses they want. It doesn't change the fact that we've taken everything racists have thrown at us and come back stronger. HENCE, local racists can use their words to complain all they want. But it won't change a thing, because these are OUR words too.

"but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die". -Genesis 2:17
This certainly sounds like a punishment for disobedience. And disobedience is a sin. Death came into this world through sin; and who sinned here is the first man and woman whom god created in his own image. God said "for when you eat from it you will certainly die", death was not designed as part of human life until Adam and Eve sinned.
Now that sin entered the world and as a result death into our lives, what happens to a person after death is still a mystery. But Bible compares death to sleep.
"For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even their name is forgotten. Their love, their hate and their jealousy have long since vanished; never again will they have a part in anything that happens under the sun". -Ecclesiastes 9:5
Did God create us only to see us die? No. God does not want us to be lost in death forever. Rather, he wants us to spend our life eternally in his kingdom- which is the actual purpose of creating us. We have hope that death is not the end of our existence, we have an immortal life to live. The way to such a life is Jesus Christ and the good news is he has already did his part on the cross so that we can victoriously raise from death.
"Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned". -Romans 5:12
One man brought sin into this world for all the mankind and God by his grace sacrificed his only son as a penalty for each individual's sin in order to reconcile the relationship between man and God that was long lost in Eden. This explains the reason why Jesus Christ was born on earth. So that by his blood we be clean.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." -John 3:16
Is death really a curse?
Well, It might appear as one but it actually is surrendering the soul back to the God who gave it and resting in the grave until Jesus Christ calls us in his second coming.
"and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it." -Ecclesiastes 12:7
But why die? This is because we cannot enter God's kingdom with this sinful body, there needs to be a transformation both in heart and body. By receiving Jesus Christ as our savior we can assure a place in his family and by losing this body in death we lose our earthly self.
"I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable." -1 Corinthians 15:50
It is the effort made by God to restore the glory that mankind lost because of sin. The kind of life that we live now and death are just different stages of the whole process, in a way to enter his kingdom. Never forget the fact that we will all be resurrected to immortal life someday.

Cheaper Alternatives to the Christmas Roast Turkey
I understand the argument that everyone deserves to feast at Christmas. I not only understand it, I support it. Fact remains, especially right now, the money might well not be there to enable that feast. By offering alternatives, I am not supporting the idea that the poor should be glad of crumbs; this is not me declaring, "when there is no dough, let there be dough..." We must tackle the long term causes of course, but the short term also needs to be taken care of.
In that spirit, let me share some ideas that we have served even when we could have afforded a turkey (which I probably should have begun selling these recipes with, rather than clarifying my political stance.) I was always squeamish preparing a roast bird, we had a family member who did not trust meat unless it was roasted until desiccated, and I wanted something that was easily carved... hence the trusty pie. It was easily made, easily served up to look neat on the plate, and as you can see from the photograph will feed a few quite nicely.
Making the pastry and cooking
I line a loaf tin - it cuts neater, looks more grand, and gives a nice deep fill; it also seems to go further without a serving seeming stingy. If you are not confident that the pie will come out easily, then line the loaf tin with greaseproof baking paper so you can lift it out without worry.
300g plain flour
150g solid fat - you can use all butter (we like Pure) or half-and-half butter and white fat
pinch of salt and pepper
Cold water to mix
Stir the salt and pepper into the flour. Rub the fat into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles rolled oats. Mix in enough cold water to bring the mixture together in a dough which shouldn't be sticky. Roll out around two thirds of the pastry to line the loaf tin, then when your filling has been put inside (see options below), roll out the remaining pastry to place on top. Pinch the edges of pastry together. Make shapes out of pastry scraps for the top if you like; one year I shaped a cute "Merry Xmas" message which I sadly don't have a photo of. Bake at 180C for 1 hour.
Turkey and Stuffing Pie
You will need:
boxed stuffing (4 of these for 60p)*
walnuts and dried cranberries (optional)
turkey slices (£1.79)**
garlic powder and lemon juice if liked
Make up a box of stuffing or make your own if you feel so inclined. Mix in broken walnuts and cranberries if you have some, but these are by no means necessary. I find boxed stuffing is quite strong in flavour so usually add 2 slices of bread worth of crumbs, adding about 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 1 tbsp lemon juice from a bottle. Pile this into a pastry case. Layer the turkey slices over the top of the stuffing so you have a couple of layers - a whole pack or even two would be good. Follow cooking instructions given above.
Sausage, Walnut and Cranberry Pie
You will need:
sausage mix - we use this (for £1)*, but you can use the equivalent of made-up sausagemeat which would be around 500g for the same price
stuffing mix (2 of these for 30p)*
100g walnuts (£1.76)*
50g dried cranberries, roughly chopped (35p)*
Make up the stuffing and sausage. Squidge made-up sausage mix or sausagemeat with the stuffing, squidging in the walnuts and cranberries too. Pile into the pastry case and cook as in instructions above.
Sausage, Pease Pudding and Pear Pie
You will need:
sausage mix- we use this (for £1)*, but you can use the equivalent of made-up sausagemeat which would be around 500g for the same price
yellow split peas (64p for 500g - you will only need about half for this pie,but you could make up the whole lot into pease pudding to keep the rest for sandwiches)
stock or yeast extract/soy sauce and a bay leaf
butter - I like Pure for its flavour
around 6 pears (78p)
salt and black pepper
This might sound a bit mad, where the traditional partner of pease pudding - ham - is replaced with sausage, but we all love it at Acorn Towers; it is festive in that it is reminiscent of the original Christmas pies mixing savouriness and fruit; just think apple sauce for the pears if you need to convince yourself the orchard fruits will work with the sausage. Make up your pease pudding by boiling yellow split peas in stock or boiling water with a spoonful of yeast extract or soy sauce and a bay leaf for an hour until the peas break down; drain very well if necessary and pop into a food processor or blend until smooth, adding salt and pepper to taste and 50g butter. Make up the sausage if using a mix; place sausage in the bottom of the pastry case. Peel and slice the pears into wedges then toss them in salt and black pepper before laying them on top of the sausage. Spoon the pease pudding over the pears. Bake as instructed above. This is best served after it has settled for about half an hour for the pease pudding to set up somewhat and make it easier to slice; indeed it is very nice at room temperature as a grabbed-lunch on its own.
Simple Christmas en Croute
You will need:
boxed stuffing (2 of these for 30p)
2 slices of bread
sausage mix - we use this (£1), but you can use the equivalent of made-up sausagemeat which would be around 500g for the same price
turkey slices (£1.79)**
bacon slices - we like maple cured rashers for £2.49 **
pastry, shortcrust as given instructions for above is also more than fine, but this really simple flaky pie crust posted by Proverbs 31 Woman from her new Pie book would be perfect
This makes a full round of Christmas turkey and accompaniments in one package. Make up the stuffing; I like to mix in the crumbs of 2 slices of bread worth of crumbs as the stuff is usually quite strongly flavoured. Also make up the sausage if using mix rather than meat. Take a piece of stuffing, then wrap a double or triple layer of turkey slices around it. Mould sausage mix around turkey. Wrap a slice of bacon around the sausage. Finish by rolling out the pastry and cutting it into rounds; place the fistful of Christmas yumminess onto a circle of pastry then bring the pastry around it and pinch together, like a little Christmas gift. Bake at 200C for 20-30 minutes, taking out when browned.

However, I'm trying to focus on the bright sides. We have a tenant for the Bachelor Pad, and the re-decoration is almost finished. The remaining things that need to be done are small DIY stuff that I can't help with, so I have been freed from DIY duty. And even better, I finally managed to join a gym last week. Based on my first visit yesterday I'm rather impressed. We had to do a gym induction with a gym employee who can't have been more than 18 years old and looked like she would rather have been anywhere else. But the actual gym is really nice. It's a council gym, so I had my doubts, but it has recently been completely refurbished and has completely new studios and gym equipment. And best of all, a spa with different saunas, steam rooms and "experience showers". Tomorrow I'm going for my first Les Mills class in three months, and I'm hoping and praying that the instructors are nice, as I am quite an instructor snob after being fortunate enough to get to work out with the most amazing Les Mills instructors over the last few years. I do feel like I'm cheating on them but I just couldn't drive all the way back to Cambridge for a gym session, and I would never have made it on time for the classes. While I'm really excited to get back to working out again, I know it will be a long and painful road to get back to where I was. But I really need to get a handle on my expanding figure, I can't let all the hard work I did go to waste.
Today's recipe is most certainly not one for the health conscious, but it is a nice treat for the weekend. If I remember correctly, the recipe is from a cooking class in high school. This recipe was from a girl who spent a year in the US as an exchange student. I think she said it was a Thanksgiving recipe. I have long since lost the original recipe, but I remember it was basically mashed potatoes with sour creme added in. I think the original recipe also had chopped chives in it, but I didn't have any chives handy when I made this so I have omitted them from the recipe.
Pimped up mashed potatoes (serves 4-6):
8 medium potatoes
25 g butter
250 g Crème fraîche (or sour cream)
salt to taste
(bread crumbs and/or grated cheese for topping)
|Before going into the oven.
The howto:
Preheat oven to 200 degrees C/400 degrees F/gas mark 6. Peel potatoes and cut into small pieces. Cook in boiling water until soft. Drain water and mash. I like to keep my mash a bit lumpy as it adds texture, but feel free to go as wild with your masher as you like. Add butter, sour cream and salt and mix. Transfer to an oven proof dish and bake until golden on top, about 25-30 minutes.
The verdict:
I went almost two years without buying a single potato. After starting to cook for my Culinary Consultant I have slipped back into bad habits, and have been known to enjoy a bit of potato every now and then. And I do like a simple mashed potato with just a bit of butter and salt, but this is so much better. The sour cream really adds a nice richness to the potatoes. I think sometimes I have also added a bit of cream cheese in the mix to make it even more decadent. I like to serve the potatoes with oven baked salmon, but they also work nicely with sausages or a meat stew.
Card of the day:
I made these cards for my trip to Finland a few weeks ago. One was for my good friend who got married, and the other is for my cousin who is getting married in a few weeks. I was very short of time so I had to make a really simple card to get it all done before my trip back home and I remembered seeing cards like this on Pinterest and thought they were a rather funny idea so I decided to give it a try. I fussycut all pieces using a template I drew freehand, and embossed the white dresses using Cuttlebug folders. I then sprayed them with Perfect Pear mist before adding the embellishments and attaching everything to the black cardstock. Very simple and quick.

Acer :: BIOS - They Don't Post Most Recent BIOS Versions OnlineSep 26, 2009
I got my laptop back from repair and the papers that came with it said that they not only replaced the LCD screen, but also updated the BIOS to the lates version--1.24
I was messing around with my laptop and the various thermal monitoring programs it has while searching the net why the hell my by-core temps always gets stuck at startup. I kept reading on BIOS, BIOS, BIOS. So I went to acer.com.sg for hopes that a newer 1.25 or so BIOS would be available for my Ciel Noir.
Surprise surprise, they have only the 1.16 (came with my laptop when it was new) and the 1.23 BIOS (mine was presently 1.24, and they don't have it). I downloaded it anyway, and checked the readme. I noticed that the flash utility .exe was named JALA0123.exe and then I noticed through HWMonitor 1.14 that my motherboard was marked JALA0 so hmm...this prompted me to flash the BIOS.
Booted up, got into Windows, fired up HWMonitor and what do you know, now it's working!! HWMonitor reads a different TJMax though, so I adjusted it to be the same as CoreTemp's and Everest, and now it's showing (I hope) correct temps.
Now my question is this: Why does the BIOS that comes from Acer directly i.e. after purchase or repair makes the sensors not work? And why are these BIOSes not available online? Is it possible that they use BIOSes that are for different laptop models, hence rendering the addresses for the thermal monitors different from the actual ones? (I read up that thermal sensors depended on the correct addresses, too.)

CLARK, NJ- The Arthur L. Johnson High School Crusaders varsity football team knew a major task was on hand, when they went up against the Roselle-Abraham Clark High School Rams team that defeated the Crusaders by a final score of 56-41 in an offensive shootout last year. Both teams came in to Friday night's competition with 2-0 records.
Despite trailing through three quarters, the Crusaders stormed back in the fourth quarter, fighting against the Rams defense with their running game and securing the win with a final score of 23-13, marking the Crusaders first win against Roselle since 2015. It is also the first time since 2007 that Johnson has started the season off with a 3-0 record.
The Crusaders opened the scoring, when senior quarterback Mike Bruno found Rapp for a 25-yard touchdown pass to give Johnson the 7-0 lead.
Just as quickly as Johnson scored, Roselle found a way to respond.
Rams senior Nasir Cherry delivered on a kickoff return deep into Johnson territory, getting to the Johnson 30-yard line. On that drive, Rams senior Craig McRae took it to the end zone, a ten-yard rushing touchdown to tie the game at 7-7.
The next drive saw the Crusaders starting at their own 15-yard line. Bruno spiked the Crusaders on the ground with a 46-yard rush that put Johnson into Roselle territory. He finished the night with 122 rushing yards on ten carries.
The offense stalled and senior kicker Mike Casalino connected for a 30-yard field goal to put his team ahead 10-7, the score after one quarter of play.
Roselle would punch back as the second quarter went along, with junior Khair Pendleton giving the Rams their first lead of the game, 13-10, after the extra point was blocked. This would be the score at halftime.
The third quarter featured no points, but both teams battling at each other on defense, the complete opposite from a year ago.
Near the end of the third quarter, the Crusaders defense kept them in the game. They slowed down Roselle on offense, but for the Crusaders, all it took was a great read of a pass-play to change the tone of the game heading into the final quarter.
Rams junior quarterback Quraan Dixon threw a deep pass, but was intercepted by Johnson senior Brandon Rapp, setting up the Crusaders as the third quarter ended, with his team trailing 13-10.
"We've been expecting the bubble-and-go the entire time," Rapp said. "As soon as they did it, [Quraan Dixon] chucked it up, I knew I was going to get it."
Following Rapp's interception, the Crusaders embarked on a drive that ended with a rushing touchdown by Kevin Metz , coming on third-down-and-goal, to give Johnson the 16-13 lead with 8:47 left in the fourth quarter.
"[Coach DelConte] told us to stay disciplined, stick to the game plan and keep running the ball hard," Metz said. "We did and that's how it worked."
Johnson took control of the game by milking the clock with multiple running plays, often short gains of yards. Turek pounded his way to the end zone for the final touchdown of the game, to put Johnson ahead 23-13 with 2:31 left in the fourth quarter.
Turek had 183 rushing yards on 30 carries to go along with his touchdown.
"This team is so resilient," Turek said. "If we're down by ten points, you'd still believe we'd win every other football game. We just stay together and I'm just so happy we won this game."
In total, Johnson's running game put up 388 total yards on 50 carries in the win.
Johnson defensive coordinator Chris Di Nucci, in his first year holding the position, praised his players for making the key stops and slowing down Roselle throughout the entire game.
"We knew we had to be assignment-sound and stick to our game plan," Di Nucci said. "Our kids came out tonight and executed very, very well."
This game marks Roselle's first regular season loss since October 24, 2015 against David Brearley HS (Kenilworth).
"We couldn't get much on [Johnson]," Roselle head coach James Williams said. "We couldn't get on offense; the defense was staying out on the field the whole second half. We couldn't generate anything on offense."
"[The kids] did their job tonight," Di Nucci added. "We took care of business."
The Johnson Crusaders (3-0) will head out on the road to play at Delaware Valley HS on Friday, September 29 at 7:00 p.m.
The Roselle-Abraham Clark Rams (2-1) will take on Hillside HS on Friday, September 29 at 7:00 p.m. at Rahway River Park.

Blue Letter Bible offers several daily devotional readings in order to help you refocus on Christ and the Gospel of His peace and righteousness.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
favour, grace, one of the wives of Elkanah the Levite, and the mother of Samuel (to in 1Sa 1; 2). Her home was at Ramathaim-zophim, whence she was wont every year to go to Shiloh, where the tabernacle had been pitched by Joshua, to attend the offering of sacrifices there according to the law (Exd 23:15; 34:18; Deu 16:16), probably at the feast of the Passover (Exd 13:10). On occasion of one of these "yearly" visits, being grieved by reason of Peninnah's conduct toward her, she went forth alone, and kneeling before the Lord at the sanctuary she prayed inaudibly. Eli the high priest, who sat at the entrance to the holy place, observed her, and misunderstanding her character he harshly condemned her conduct (1Sa 1:14-16). After hearing her explanation he retracted his injurious charge and said to her, "Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition." Perhaps the story of the wife of Manoah was not unknown to her. Thereafter Elkanah and his family retired to their quiet home, and there, before another Passover, Hannah gave birth to a son, whom, in grateful memory of the Lord's goodness, she called Samuel, i.e., "heard of God." After the child was weaned (probably in his third year) she brought him to Shiloh into the house of the Lord, and said to Eli the aged priest, "Oh my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the Lord. For this child I prayed; and the Lord hath given me my petition which I asked of him: therefore I also have granted him to the Lord; as long as he liveth he is granted to the Lord" (1Sa 1:27,28, R.V.). Her gladness of heart then found vent in that remarkable prophetic song (2:1-10; Luk 1:46-55) which contains the first designation of the Messiah under that name (1Sa 2:10, "Annointed" = "Messiah"). And so Samuel and his parents parted. He was left at Shiloh to minister "before the Lord." And each year, when they came up to Shiloh, Hannah brought to her absent child "a little coat" (Exd 28:31), a priestly robe, a long upper tunic (1Ch 15:27), in which to minister in the tabernacle (1Sa 2:19; 15:27; Job 2:12). "And the child Samuel grew before the Lord." After Samuel, Hannah had three sons and two daughters.

OTSEGO COUNTY - Otsego County Commissioner Clark Bates was one of the first commissioners to address a packed room of retired and current county employees at a special commissioners' meeting Monday night.
The purpose of the special meeting was to give county employees and retirees a chance to voice their concerns about proposed changes to county health benefits.
"We're facing a $350,000 budget shortfall (for 2004)," he said. "If anyone has ideas on how else we can close that gap, please speak up."
There was no shortage of input from the 45 people in attendance.
Keith Huff, director of Animal Control, was among those who had a point to make.
"We have paid for these benefits through our years of service," Huff said. Referring to a retired employee from his department, he said the individual worked 23 years for the county and retired making $10.34 per hour.
