2016 Fifty Shades of Casanova Grand Ball
2016 Fifty Shades of Casanova Grand Ball
Saturday 6th February, in the beautiful and magic Venetian Palace Ca'Zeno,
near the famous Basilica dei Frari…
From 8.00 pm, you will be welcomed by a cocktail and amused by our artists' exhibitions and performances.
This will be just the begging of a lovely and as well charming journey which will last for the whole night, hand by hand, along Casanova's love experiences…
Atelier Marega is calling you to take part to this extraordinary masked ball's adventure: are you ready?
After the great success of the Casanova Grand Ball last years editions, Atelier Marega is glad to introduce you to Fifty Shades of Casanova Grand Ball, during the 2016 Venetian Carnival.
The theme chosen for this year is the Love in the fifty and more ways in which it could be experienced. On February 6th, 2016, the night of the last Saturday of Carnival, Casanova will lead you to what promises to be a magical journey of discovery of love in its most varied facets, love sweet and tender, passionate, love for the game and for good food, love and pains of love, in short, love for life.
The noble Casanova was a man of great culture: he devoted himself to a military career, he was a poet and biographer but, above all, he was a man of love. He succeeded in making love the true essence of his life. He loved many women and all, without any exception, were in love with him and he sincerely loved each of them back. As Giacomo Casanova himself wrote in his memoirs.. "Love, a gentle bitterness".
And who then, if not Giacomo Casanova, could join us in this adventure so sweet and inviting. Fifty Shades of Casanova Grand Ball will be held February 6th, 2016 in the majestic and picturesque setting of the noble Venetian Palace Ca' Zeno, in proximity to the Basilica dei Frari.
In the courtyard of the palace, starting at 8.00 p.m., a welcome cocktail will receive our guests who will cheered and entertained by the loving and daring performances of our artists. This will be just the beginning of a sweet and attractive promenade that will last all the night, hand in hand along the silky way of love of Casanova.
At 11.30 p.m., in the nightclub inside Palazzo Zen, the Gran Ballo in Maschera will start with our DJ Andrea: his music is powerful mix of rhythms of different kinds. Animators and dancers will involve you in an overwhelming show. However, you will be the only stars! Guests may also relax in the lounge area: the open bar service will guarantee you drinks, hot drinks and sweet treats accompanied by Venetian frittole and galani (traditional Carnival sweet in Venice). Atelier Marega calls you to take part to this magical adventure: are you ready?!

So, you will see on your right a dress shop, a restaurant, Stillini's shop , and an antique dealer and a shop of used toys. After the antique dealer and the Toy's shop, turn right and soon after left. At this point, on your right you will see one of our shops, leave the shop on your right and proceed along the narrow street called "Calle Larga". Please go straight and at the end of the street in front of you there is the enormous Frari's Church. At the end of the street (Dersut Cafè) turn right.

So I think we'll stick close to home and maybe visit Grandma today. My mom hasn't seen Jacob in a while which is strange because we only live a few blocks apart from each other. I love it when Jacob plays upstairs in my old room when we visit Grandma. It reminds me of when I was young and in school. Jacob also enjoys going into the basement at my mom's house, which is something I was afraid of when I was his age. But when I was young, the basement at my mom's wasn't as fun. Now Grandma has a Sega Genesis hooked up to use and she also has a giant pool table. Jacob loves playing pool in my mom's basement. Sometimes he'll use a cue, but he usually just throws the balls around the table by hand. Jacob enjoys sinking the balls in order and by number.
My mom is always talking about how well behaved Jacob is when we visit her house. I guess we're lucky because we can let Jacob play alone in the basement for an hour and he never gets into anything he's not supposed to. Then from there he'll go into the attic and play upstairs for another hour. I guess that's another character trait that Jacob and I both share. I too was very good at making fun while alone. I do have a brother, but he's 15 years older than me so it's like I was an only child growing up, so learning to have fun by yourself was vital while living at home.
We're just glad that Jacob is behaved when we visit Grandma because after all, Grandma is almost 70 and she probably couldn't handle a 7 year old running around and destroying her house. Although sometimes I wish Jacob would be a little destructive. Am I cruel for wishing that? It's like Jacob's Asperger's regulates itself when we visit Grandma's house as he's always on his best behaviour. If only it would do the same at school.
After a visit with Grandma, we often walk to Tim Horton's for a chocolate chip muffin. It's only about an extra 10 minute walk so it's not that far away. I can't believe it that I actually won a free donut on roll up the rim to win yesterday. I can't ever seem to win anything on those stupid things and honestly, it seems that everyone around me wins, yet I never do. Most of my friends seem to win free coffees all the time. But hey, a free donut is a free donut and I'm just happy to win something.
|This is my brain.

Solar-powered commercial flight may be a long way off, but the Sunseeker Duo—a solar-powered two-person plane built by Solar Flight, Inc—might bring us a little closer. Until now, solar planes have only been able to carry one person, but as its name would suggest the Sunseeker Duo is intended to accommodate two passengers without sacrificing performance. If Solar Flight, Inc succeeds, their two-seater solar plane will be a world first, and the plane's creators are looking for support in their endeavor through Kickstarter.
In order to fit all of the necessary solar panels, the plane requires a wingspan that reaches nearly 80 feet, all while weighing less than 600 pounds. But even though the plane is light, it can easily accommodate two full-grown men. Based on the original Sunseeker model, which was completed in 1990, the plane is capable of intercontinental flight. When the flight is over, the long wings fold so that the plane can be stored in an average-sized hangar.
The plane is equipped with a battery that can hold a long enough charge to allow the plane to climb for 20 minutes. But what happens if they sky is cloudy? No problem, says Eric Raymond, one of the creators, "If I can get over the clouds in that time, then I am in bright sunshine, so I can continue to fly for hours. Otherwise I come slowly gliding back down. I always land as a glider anyway."
The Sunseeker Duo is still in production and is seeking funding via Kickstarter to help complete the electronics and hardware. Once it is complete, the creators intend to fly it around the world by following the sun and documenting the journey through a film and a book in order to help raise awareness.

Thankful on a Thursday
My weekly shout out to Nish at The Outdoor Wife! Thanks again for this brilliant idea!
27.) I'm thankful for sore muscles. I don't enjoy it but as they say, "No pain, no gain."
28.) I'm thankful for all the support I've received on Twitter (Karen, Miranda, Abigail & John especially!) for Couch to 5k. Tonight will be my first 20 minute jog. I'm scared but I'm going to try my best – that's all I can do right?!
29.) I'm thankful for the cooler temperatures that have found their way to this area. I don't do well with heat. Now it feels like summer – not an oven!
30.) I'm thankful for birthday parties, wedding planning (other people's!), children (again, other people's!), quiet nights at home, phone dates & long lost friends.
31.) I'm thankful that many people I have met through Twitter & this blog are people I consider friends. You can say anything at any time on Twitter and no one judges you for it. It's a great outlet!
32.) I'm thankful for laptops so I can sit in my living room and tweet & blog and watch a very funny episode of SNL (Joseph Gordon-Levitt is the host. PS – Thank you DVR!)
What are YOU thankful for today? XO

Here is my expert opinion on some weightlifting bars you may be considering. My opinion is based on both personal experience and the experience of my peers.
I have them ranked in order from best to worst based on thesee qualities: Knurling, bar spin, bar flex, and durability. Take these notes in consideration before making an investment.
Eleiko- The knurling on this bar is pretty sharp as a warning but when you're lifting heavy weights, it's a necessity. I actually like having a sharp knurling but, during a heavy volume cycle, it kinda beats up your hands. Bar spin is good. Bar flex is pretty good. Maintenance is required to keep the bar in good shape but, the bar has a really good warranty.
Eusaka- I would probably tie this bar at #1 with Eleiko. Knurling is good but chalk needs to be cleared off more frequently than the Eleiko bar. Flex is good. Bar spin is pretty good and by some miracle, does not need to be lubricated like an Eleiko bar. Lasts a long time. Bar is made in a small factory with less than ten employees so you know the attention to detail is there, which I appreciate.
Weksan- Werksan pretty much tries to copy Eleiko, in my opinion, which is one of the reasons why I am ranking them lower. I don't have too much experience lifting on their bars except competitions. They seem to be ok for the most part. Bar spin, knurling and flex is good. I have them ranked so low mostly because of what I witnessed at the 2010 World Championships in Turkiye, The small weights. 5 kgs and under, did not fit the bar properly. You had to jam the weights onto the bar and they were barely on. This made warm up for the competition particularly difficult. More importantly, it was a dangerous situation for the competitors on the competition platform. The loaders had little bowls of lubricant which they used to brush the bar with so the weights could be put on. One of the lifters had the weights start to slip off the bar and he ended up missing his 3rd attempt, dropping the weight onto one of the officials computers because of this error. He was allowed a 4th attempt but, missed that one as well. This was a gross lack of attention to detail. How do you not test the weights to make sure they fit the bar?
York- I think the knurling is good. The men's bar had pretty good spin but the women's, not so much. We had a couple of incidents where two of our men's bars broke clean off (said in a dirty harry voice) right at the sleeve with only 50 and 70 kgs. The customer service to deal with this situation was pretty terrible.
Rogue- For it's purpose, rogue does the job. I haven't really heard of actual big lifts being lifted on this bar, nor have I lifted on one but, it's a cheap bar. So for someone starting out, or a crossfit type situation where you can get a lot of bars to bang around, this is for you. If you want a bar that will probably last you your entire career and handle big lifts, this bar is not for you.
DHS- Bar spin is amazing. Knurling is not very good. I cannot recommend this bar at all based on the testimonials I have gotten on this product. It was used in Beijing for the Olympics and I heard after almost ever session, the bars had to be replaced because they were bent so bad. Most high quality bars are going to be tested with a pressure/flex type usually with at least 1,000 lbs to make sure it can handle the lifting. Last time I checked, no one has snatched or clean and jerked 1,000 lbs so there is no excuse for the bar to bend. I have also heard from a friend that when he was squatting 300 kgs, the bar literally snapped in half. Based on what I heard, this bar is pretty dangerous. Can't recommend it.

Since I followed her directions I won't go into all the minute details. I will share the colors and products I used.
Card Base: Crushed Curry card stock
Designer Paper: Cherry on Top Paper Stack
Stamp Set - both image and sentiment: Sprinkles on Top - The donuts were colored individually using Bermuda Bay, Watermelon Wonder, Crushed Curry and Cucumber Crush Markers and stamped on Whisper White card stock. I used the same markers to color in the sprinkles on the donuts and added some Dazzling Details for a little sparkle. They were cut out using the Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits as was a piece of Watermelon Wonder card stock to use for a mat. The sentiment was heat embossed on the piece of Window Sheet with VersaMark and White Embossing Powder. The inside
flap is Bermuda Bay card stock. My son's girlfriend got a kick out of the inside sentiment: "sometimes it's better not to remember how many you've had." I'm not a fan of donuts but I can see how easy it could be to lose count.
I lined one of Stampin' Up!'s medium envelopes with the same designer paper using the Envelope Liners Framelits.
Thanks for coming by. I hope you're off to a great start this week.

(Today's featured guest post is a super delicious recipe that I claim guilty for trying it myself by Emilie from HungryDelights. Enjoy!)
Hi! My name is Emilie and you can usually find me over at http://www.hungrydelights.com/ where I blog about my life, share photography, and most importantly, the foods I love.
Today I though I'd share one of my absolutely favorite basked goods, Anzac Biscuits (or Anzac cookies). I honestly don't know why I love them so much...it may be that they remind me of my favorite Australian public holiday, Anzac Day, on April 25th (which is coincidentally also my birthday!) or it may just be that they taste so delicious!
So, without further ado here is my recipe for Anzac buscuits. If you get the chance, I thoroughly recommend you try them!
-1 cup rolled oats (not quick oats)
-1 cup plain flour, sifted
-1 cup sugar
-3/4 cup desiccated coconut
-125 grams butter
-1 tablespoon of golden syrup
-1 teaspoon bicarbonate soda
-2 tablespoons boiling water
1. Preheat oven to 320 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Combine oats, flour, sugar and coconut in a large bowl.
3. Melt butter and syrup together either in the microwave or stove top. Separately combine soda and boiling water, then add to the butter mixture. Stir until it begins to foam and stir into the dry ingredients.
4. Place 3 level-teaspoon portions of mixture, approximately 4 centimeters apart on greased oven trays; flatten lightly with a fork.
5. Bake in oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool once cooked on trays.

Autumn in the Ozarks offers a spectacular show of fall color as the foliage begins its annual transformation. The "hills and hollers" around Table Rock Lake offer up vivid scenery, making it a visually outstanding getaway for everyone.
This year's foliage spectrum is expected to be especially vibrant. Why? Table Rock experienced moderate summer temps with significant rainfall—two key factors in producing impressive fall color. This means you can expect a kaleidoscope of colors filling the treetops and blanketing the ground—the blazing reds, oranges and yellows boldly contrasting the patches of green and the blue lake and skies.
The fall show of color begins in early October, starting with ash and dogwood trees, along with sumac and Virginia creeper. As the month progresses, the abundant oak, hickory, and maple trees will join the party. Peak foliage viewing is usually the last two weeks of October and the first 10 days of November, so plan your trip accordingly.
Keep up-to-date on the fall color progression with the Missouri Department of Conservation Mobile APP's weekly fall color forecasts from the middle of September through October.
The vibrant fall colors immerse the rugged Ozarks hills with blazing hues, providing you the opportunity to stop for some excellent photo ops along the two routes highlighted below. Before you jump in the car, be sure to mark these scenic spots on your map or GPS along the driving routes:
The center is adjacent to the dam, so you'll get easy access and a panoramic view of the main lake and its distant shores.
A prime vantage point for excellent views of the densely wooded hillsides rolling into the lake.
Babbling creeks, grassy meadows teeming with wildlife—just about every corner of Dogwood Canyon's 10,000 acres of Ozark beauty is picture perfect. Plan on spending a few hours here if you can make time for it.
Approximately two miles north of Shell Knob, this spot is great for a quick stop while traveling down Highway 39. Pull off (east side of Hwy. 39) to see far and wide, and make sure to set your camera on a wide angle to capture the expansive glory.
You'll find beautiful sugar maples and oak trees as bold as the sunsets along with a neat little gazebo to help frame your photos. Many of the main characters portrayed in Shepherd of the Hills lore rest here.
Capture exciting shots of the James River channel, which is set against rock bluffs and outcroppings.
Just a short jog off Highway 276, this is a popular lookout that provides a downstream view of Table Rock Dam and its tailwaters. Keep your eyes peeled for bald eagles.
You're probably asking yourself: How am I going to get to all these special spots? Well, we've done the work for you by mapping out two great routes you can take to catch all the scenic sites of the fall spectacular of colors. The following fall foliage drive tours assume you are making a round trip beginning at the Table Rock Lake Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center (14226 State Hwy 13, Kimberling City, MO 65686).
(Estimated drive time: 55 minutes)
Take in great vistas of the lake while making your way across the Table Rock Dam.
Beginning at the Table Rock Lake Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center, proceed south on Hwy. 13 across the Kimberling City bridge spanning Table Rock Lake. Go approximately 13 miles to MO Hwy. 86 East. Take MO Hwy. 86 East approximately 12 miles to U.S. Hwy. 65 North. Take U.S. Hwy. 65 North for three miles and turn left (West) on MO Hwy. 265. Follow MO Hwy. 265 for 12 miles until you reach MO Hwy. 76. Take MO Hwy. 76 West for nine miles. Turn left on MO Hwy 13 at Branson West. Take MO Hwy. 13 South for approximately four miles to the Visitor Center.
(Estimated drive time: 2 hours)
Travel through parts of the Mark Twain National Forest with spectacular stands of deciduous forest.
Beginning at the Table Rock Lake Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center, proceed north on Hwy. 13 for approximately eight miles to MO Hwy 76 West. Turn left on MO Hwy 76 West and proceed for 22 miles to travel through parts of the Mark Twain National. Take MO Hwy. 39 South for 14 miles. You will pass through Shell Knob and over the Shell Knob Bridge across Table Rock Lake. At Carr Lane, turn left on MO Hwy. 86. Follow MO Hwy. 86 for approximately eight miles. Turn left on MO Hwy. 13 North. Follow MO Hwy. 13 North for 10 miles to the Visitor Center.
To really capture the best of Table Rock Lake's fall foliage, take a boat tour. Either bring your own vessel, or rent one from the numerous marinas around the lake. The views are incredible with picturesque bluffs and hillsides around every bend that practically spill color into the deep blue lake.
"It's not rare to find a majestic American Bald Eagle soaring high above the vibrant foliage."
Set hard against the beautiful Ozark Mountains, the lake extends 79 miles upstream and offers some 800 miles of shoreline—most of which is covered with hardwoods bursting in fall foliage. Minimal shoreline development, coupled with a keen sense of maintaining the natural beauty of the lake, provides an idyllic experience in nature's own grandeur. Gather up your crew, a thermos of hot chocolate and just cruise.
Definitely follow the primary channels and look for the hidden treasures as noted on the Nautical Tour Map below. It's not rare to find a majestic American Bald Eagle soaring high above the vibrant foliage, along with lots of other wildlife along the lakeshore. The most important part is to take your time and explore.
October is the month to celebrate autumn in all its splendor. The biggest celebration: Silver Dollar City's National Harvest & Cowboy Festival, September 14–October 29. Explore the creations of more than 125 visiting craftsmen from around the country, from pottery, artwork and jewelry to traditional mountain crafts. Another special treat is listening to Violet Hensley play the fiddle. Known as the "Stradivarius of the Ozarks," Violet turns 100 years old on October 21, 2016. You'll hear plenty of other great music, too, and it's a blast to participate in a good old-fashioned barn dance.
The Fall Festival of the Arts, presented by Table Rock Art Gallery, is aptly entitled "Color Explosion!" and features local artists who work in a variety of media, from oil painting to woodcarving and photography. Each piece you purchase comes with a personal story that carries with you.
Witness Table Rock Lake's fall explosion of color and check out the lodging, attractions, dining, and shopping options for your foliage tour.

The next morning I was like a kid on Christmas, standing by the front door with my helmet as Highway slowly got ready. He had been fighting a cold, but now it was really settling in. I felt bad to push him to ride, but I couldn't contain myself.
I spent some time in our parking garage getting the feel for her. She revs so much higher than Highway's Yamaha Roadstar I had been riding. I was having trouble finding the sweet spot in the clutch, just the right amount of throttle, etc. Finally, we headed out on the streets of San Diego.
Two blocks away I accidentally popped the clutch, stalled her, and dropped her. I was so desperate to keep her up, I tore up my left knee in the process. I sat on the street, sobbing like a kindergartner, feeling like a huge failure. All of this waiting, all of this hoping, all of this dreaming and I could see it all running down the sewer. Highway picked up the bike and with the help of a few neighbors who had seen my spectacle, they moved me and Katie Scarlet to the curb. Highway put the bikes away and brought the truck to take me to Urgent Care.
I've spent the last 4 days feeling an array of emotions; frustrated, angry, sad, humiliated, optimistic, and finally determined. This wasn't going to be the end of this ~ no fucking way. I wasn't going down like a sniveling little bitch.
I'm mending quickly; my knee and my ego. I'm planning to be back on her by February 1, and riding on the streets mid-February. Highway and I have planned a "retraining" of sorts, doing some basics in a local, huge parking lot. I plan on doing at least an hour a day for 7 days straight, then riding every day for a few weeks, weather permitting.
I realized I tried to do too much too soon. It had been 8 months since I've been behind my own handlebars and I'd only ridden for 7 months before that, very sporadically. I did fine, at first, but I just hadn't practiced enough. Then I let too much time pass. . .
This isn't the end. It is only the beginning of my story.

Whats that all over his face? Mascara. He was awfully quiet last night and I told Dustin to go see what he was doing. Dustin went back in our room and started yelling at me to "Come clean this mess up." I couldn't stop laughing. Dustin did not find this at all amusing. He had to climb up on the toilet and stand on top of it to reach the mascara that sits on top of my vanity. At least he knows where it goes. When I was carrying him out to the livingroom he just keep pointing at it and saying "eyes, eyes" it was so funny.

Top 10 Most Pirated Movies of All-Time
Posted: October 13th, 2011 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
For the last half a decade TorrentFreak was compiling date on the most pirated movies of all-time. Topping the list is "Avatar" with 21 million downloads. That's not very surprising, considering that the film is also the highest-grossing of all-time.
All of the movies on the list have done well in theaters. In fact every one of them broke the $100 million mark, except for "Kick-Ass," which took seventh place and actually grossed $96 million, three times its budget.
The data I would be most interested in is whether most of these downloads happened when the films were already on DVD or still in theaters. If on DVD, then that would explain poor DVD/Blu-ray sales that studio executives have been complaining about.
Check out the top ten list below.
* Avatar
(21 million downloads)
* The Dark Knight
(19 million)
* Transformers
(19 million)
* Inception
(18 million)
* The Hangover
(17 million)
* Star Trek
(16 million)
* Kick-Ass
(15 million)
* The Departed
(14 million)
* The Incredible Hulk
(14 million)
* Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
(14 million)

I don't know why piracy is a big problem. Look at those films, the most pirated films yet they made a sh*tload of money. It's not hurting their revenue.
on October 13th, 2011 at 7:13:58 AM
Viva la resistance. The more films pirated, the more chance actual good films have to be released when they start turning it into cinema again and not business (or something like that).
on October 13th, 2011 at 7:35:28 AM
If you ask the people after they pirated the movie did they then go buy said movieor watch movie in cinema, I reckon most would say "yes"
Even if this hurt the dvd/blu-ray sales it didn't effect the box office takings and "Retardavar" got most of it's money from repeat viewing in the cinema.
on October 13th, 2011 at 7:37:08 AM
Whoa...the incredible hulk is in that list? I'm speechless...
on October 13th, 2011 at 8:30:33 AM
this list was on WP some time ago. just to fill something in, they put it.
on October 13th, 2011 at 10:03:55 AM
there will always be piracy i do it every day but i would never ever sell anything i do dl i do it for personal use buy i buy near enough everything i do download aswel and i go to the movies a lot too
on October 13th, 2011 at 10:44:57 AM
Kickass2 needs to hurry the f*ckup already hitgirls startin to turn into jailbait already.now i have to download Footloose and Glee
on October 13th, 2011 at 10:52:23 AM
piracy NEVER hurts a good movie
I watched The Dark Knight in theaters and bought the Bluray too
I watched Inception 3 times in theaters and still bought the Bluray
I pirated Avatar and I regret the wasted time and bandwidth, and sad thing is, this sh*t of a movie is highest grossing movie of all time. FML
what they trying to say is, James Cameron still owns all your butts
on October 13th, 2011 at 11:03:50 AM
People downloaded The Hulk?!?!?
on October 13th, 2011 at 2:41:41 PM
I like both hulk movies
on October 13th, 2011 at 4:04:54 PM
I'm surprised to not see battlefield earth on this list?? Oh, wait......(backs out of room slowly in shame)
on October 13th, 2011 at 5:47:58 PM
Who Knew James Cameron likes to download his own movies?
on October 13th, 2011 at 7:24:18 PM
well they cant stick 21 million people in jail per film and if they cut our broadband thats a lot of lost revenue for telcom industry so theres safety in numbers just download from torrent sites, hollywood had a record breaking year so that proves piracy dosent hurt the industry.
on October 13th, 2011 at 10:12:20 PM
And i'm very happy i didn't pay for that sh*t-fest, Avatar
on October 13th, 2011 at 10:19:52 PM
@band - I joke... partially. I never thought (even back in my comic days) that The Hulk should be carrying his own book. As a fit in The Avengers though, I think is a great thing.

Granted, this list shows that "policed" piracy doesn't truly hurt the revenues but can you imagine if it were left unchecked?
I say keep things as they are. Let Hollywood fluff its feathers and try to stop piracy but knowing deep down that they're not. And let folks continue to fear retribution when there ultimately wont be any.

Spiced Cranberry Sauce
Adapted from allrecipes.com
- Place fresh cranberries and orange juice in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Wrap cloves, allspice berries and cinnamon sticks in a spice bag. Place in the orange juice with cranberries.
- Cook until cranberries begin to burst, 15-20 minutes.
- Stir in sugar and reduce heat to low. Continue cooking 5 minutes, or until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Discard spice bag. Chill in the refrigerator 8 hours, or overnight, before serving.
Awesome Sausage, Apple and Cranberry Stuffing
Servings: 10
1 1/2 cups cubed whole wheat bread
3 3/4 cups cubed white bread
1 pound ground sage pork sausage
1 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup chopped celery
2 1/2 teaspoons dried sage
1 1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 Golden Delicious apple, cored and chopped
3/4 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley
1 cooked turkey liver, finely chopped
3/4 cup turkey stock
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350 degree F (175 degree C). Spread the white and whole wheat bread cubes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes in the preheated oven, or until evenly toasted. Transfer toasted bread cubes to a large bowl.
In a large skillet, cook the sausage and onions over medium heat, stirring and breaking up the lumps until evenly browned. Add the celery, sage, rosemary, and thyme; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes to blend flavors.
Pour sausage mixture over bread in bowl. Mix in chopped apples, dried cranberries, parsley, and liver. Drizzle with turkey stock and melted butter, and mix lightly. Spoon into turkey to loosely fill.
* I'm not actually going to be making dressing for Thanksgiving, but this recipe got great reviews and 25,000 people saved this in their recipe boxes, so I thought I might as well see what all the fuss is about.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Rinse and wash turkey. Discard the giblets, or add to pan if they are anyone's favorites.
- Place turkey in a Dutch oven or roasting pan. Separate the skin over the breast to make little pockets. Put 3 tablespoons of the butter on both sides between the skin and breast meat. This makes for very juicy breast meat.
- In a medium bowl, combine the water with the bouillon. Sprinkle in the parsley and minced onion. Pour over the top of the turkey. Sprinkle seasoning salt over the turkey.
- Cover with foil, and bake in the preheated oven 3 1/2 to 4 hours, until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 180 degrees F (80 degrees C). For the last 45 minutes or so, remove the foil so the turkey will brown nicely.
I'll post the pictures and reviews tomorrow.

Free Parking is a Parker Brothers card game inspired by the "Free Parking" space of the Monopoly board game.
The game is played by two to four players, and game play focuses around using time on a parking meter to gain points; the first to 200 points wins. Each player has their own parking meter and a hand of cards. A player begins a turn by drawing a card, always drawing enough to reach six cards in their hand. The player then plays one of the following cards on his turn:
There are two cards that may be played at any time and do not count as cards played on one's turn:
In addition to these cards, on his turn, a player may choose to draw an orange Second Chance card (derived from Monopoly's Chance cards). These cards cause a variety of effects, including moving meters up and down, taking and giving point cards, and even trading hands, meters, or places between players. The images on the Second Chance cards, like those on the point cards, have their origins in the Monopoly game.
If a player so desires, instead of drawing and playing a card on his turn, he may opt to exchange three cards. He discards three cards from his hand and then draws three new cards from the pile, bringing his hand back to five cards - the same number as if he had drawn up to six and played a card on his turn. When taking this option, the player forgoes his opportunity to play a card, but not to take a Second Chance card; he may still elect to take one following the card exchange.

After breaking through support the Japanese Nikkei index looks under serious pressure, with 9,700 the next level to watch. Fundamentally, the economy is a disaster, as weak global demand continues to expose the domestic deflationary stagnation. The recent high of 10,800 looks likely to have marked the cyclical high for Japanese equities, which would mark yet another lower high. A lower low is coming.
There have been a number of factors weighing on the Nikkei in recent days. The unexpected improvement in Japan's unemployment rate, which fell from 5.7% to 5.5% in August, has been outweighed by a confluence of negative factors. Firstly, the stronger yen, driven partly by Finance Minister Hirohisa Fujii's comments that a strong currency has generally been good for the economy because it has boosted domestic purchasing power, was a major driver. The poor Tankan survey results, which showed large businesses are aiming to cut spending by 10.8% this year, more than the 9.4% planned three months ago, also hurt market sentiment. The two largest forces weighing on the market, however, which pose a serious threat going forward, were the Chicago PMI data suggesting that the US economy remains in depression, and Japanese CPI data confirming that domestic deflation is deepening.
Export Dependence Remains Key Risk
These two factors sum up the struggles facing the Japanese economy. Starting with the fall in the Chicago PMI, this shatters any hope of a sustainable US andglobal recovery – something which the Japanese economy (and export-sector dependent equity markets), has relied heavily on in recent years to revive it from its deflationary stagnation. With the help of the weak yen (thanks to the carry trade) and strong global demand, the Japanese economy and the Nikkei staged a respectable recovery from 2003 to 2007, with the latter rallying 140% from peak to trough, as exporters lead the way. The current outlook, however, with a strong yen and weak external demand, is far less sanguine.
Deflation Accelerating
With that in mind let me turn your attention to the recent inflation data. As the accompanying charts show, Japan is clearly stuck fast in deflation. Core CPI came in at -2.4% y-o-y in August, the largest fall on record, and the September Tokyo CPI showed a similarly worrying trend. While the year-on-year figure fell by 2.0%, the actual index shows the extent of the deflationary mire that the economy remains in. The price index is the same level now as it was in 1992, and has fallen a staggering 9.5% since the October 1998 high.
Misguided Policies Mean A Slow And Painful Death
As underlying fundamentals of the Japanese economy continue to deteriorate, and deflation continues to trump re-flation efforts, any signal that global demand is waning is likely to weigh heavily on the Japanese economy and asset markets. It was no surprise that the Japanese economy contracted more than any other developed market in Q109 when the pillar of external demand gave way. Indeed, the failure of macroeconomic policies in the wake of the asset price collapse of the 1990s has been partially hidden by the strong export sector, while fostering a climate of mild and protracted deflation. The government has sought to reduce the debt load of the corporate sector and expand that of the public sector to fill the gap in demand. While low interest rates have prevented a debt-deflationary spiral similar to the Great Depression, they have also failed to force about the necessary liquidation of malinvestments created during the bubble era. As such, while public debt has ballooned, corporate debt remains high. The economy is no closer to embarking on a sustainable recovery as the private sector is yet to work off its imbalances and the public sector has created a host of new ones.
Cyclical High Is In
Continued core deflation has been a symptom of the asset bubble bursting, and has come in spite of the inflationary policies pursued by the government. The large liquidity-fuelled cyclical rallies seen in the Nikkei have brought lower highs and lower lows, as the underlying fundamentals have continued to deteriorate. It is looking increasingly likely that the recent high of 10,800 will mark the top of this cyclical (rather than secular) bull market, which could open up much further downside for the index. While continued price deflation – a sign that the economy is trying to heal itself – will help to support real incomes, it is likely to result in further asset price weakness in Japan over the medium term. The sooner this occurs, though, the sooner a sustainable recovery will be enjoyed.

Why you should ignore the latest attack on Obamacare
The debate around the Affordable Care Act has been mired in muddle and misinformation from the start. The latest example of deliberate obfuscation by universal healthcare's opponents comes with publication of the Congressional Budget Office's latest glimpse into the future, "The Budget and Economic Outlook: 2014 to 2024."
All economic forecasting comes with a health warning — peering into the future is as riven with unforeseen danger as any other science fiction. The CBO, however, offers a cool-headed attempt to equip lawmakers and government officials with an estimate of how the economy may perform in the years ahead. It is not intended to back one side of the Obamacare debate over the other.
The section that caused all the fuss is Appendix C, "Labor Market Effects of the Affordable Care Act: Updated Estimates." The key finding tripped headlines screaming "ObamaCare could lead to loss of nearly 2.3 million US jobs" (Fox News) and caused the Wall Street Journal to dub the ACA "The Jobless Care Act."
The government is guessing how many Americans, now armed with affordable individual insurance through Obamacare, will leave an employer they worked for principally to gain access to the company-negotiated health coverage.
The CBO goes out of its way to suggest that its estimate "is subject to substantial uncertainty, which arises in part because many of the ACA's provisions have never been implemented on such a broad scale and in part because available estimates of many key responses vary considerably." It states: "The actual effects could differ notably."
Still, the CBO concluded that some workers will leave their jobs because there are now viable alternatives for those who have taken positions to gain affordable health insurance for them and their family. The CBO estimates the new healthcare law "will reduce the total number of hours worked, on net, by about 1.5 percent to 2.0 percent during the period from 2017 to 2024, almost entirely because workers will choose to supply less labor — given the new taxes and other incentives they will face and the financial benefits some will receive."
It says the new law's introduction "represents a decline in the number of full-time-equivalent workers of about 2 million in 2017, rising to about 2.5 million in 2024." But it clearly points out that this is not "unemployment" in the normal sense but "a net decline in the amount of labor that workers choose to supply, rather than from a net drop in businesses' demand for labor."
What this all means is that some people now working for an employer to qualify for cheap company health insurance will stop working there. Though, as the CBO reports, this does not mean "a drop in businesses demand for labor." The vacated jobs will continue to exist and employers will seek to find others to take the place of the departed workers. With so many unemployed, most jobs will be easily and quickly filled, reducing the number of unemployed and maintaining economic growth.
A headline writer could just as accurately have written, "Obamacare makes 2.5 jobs available over next 10 years."
To the Journal, however, this was clear evidence from the CBO, a body whose previous Obamacare estimates it had either ignored or scoffed at, that "the law is a job destroyer." The conservative Washington Times piled on, declaring "Obamacare will push 2 million workers out of labor market." Even the usually steady The Hill trumpeted "O-Care will cost 2.5m workers by 2024."
Politicians who should know better, such as House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), went into automatic mode to condemn the ACA: "The CBO's latest report confirms what Republicans have been saying for years now. Under Obamacare, millions of hardworking Americans will lose their jobs," he said.
But the CBO did not say the ACA is "a job destroyer." Nor did it suggest that workers would be "pushed out" of the labor market or that the health reforms would "cost" millions of workers to "lose their jobs."
In fact, the CBO went out of its way to avoid such words. "The reason that we don't use the term 'lost jobs,'" Director Douglas W. Elmendorf explained, "is there's a critical difference between people who like to work and can't find a job or have a job that was lost for reasons beyond their control and people who choose not to work."
We do not know whether those newly armed with affordable individual health insurance who decide to give up their current jobs will work instead for someone else, start working on their own or stop working altogether. Nor does the CBO. In fact it does not even know what proportion of the vacated jobs are full- or part-time.
But those eager to find evidence against Obamacare were quick to round out the numbers, misconstrue the facts and jump to the wrong conclusions.
This has been a deliberate attempt to ignore the official report's carefully written language to suggest that government economists think the president's landmark legislation is an employment disaster. No difference is made between a job vacated and waiting for a worker to fill it and a job that is lost due to a shrinking economy.
Ryan Ellis of Americans for Tax Reform is adamant that confusing the two thoughts is legitimate. "If a person chooses not to work because Obamacare has made their working a prohibitive financial choice for them," Ellis said, "then that's a job killed by Obamacare."
If such thinking is not plain self-deception it is conceptual sleight of hand. Yet it is now commonplace in Washington — where facts and truth are malleable and partisanship is everything.
Persistent joblessness is a public menace. Its causes and its cures are the stuff of earnest intellectual discourse that reaches to the heart of defining what government is and should be. The continuing jobs shortage and weak growth in the more than five years since the 2008 financial panic should be at the center of the political debate.
But jobs and the ACA have been linked by the CBO. And Obamacare has been deemed a pivotal issue in this year's midterm elections and the 2016 presidential election. Republicans sense they are on to a winner.
Therefore, when it comes to denigrating the healthcare law, anything goes. Facts are shamelessly misrepresented and honest endeavors to predict the outcome of introducing such wide-reaching legislation are misconstrued and trivialized. Where there should be clarity and crisp thinking there is misinformation and mendacity.

It would seem that only a very low level intellect would repeatedly fall for this type of scam that both the GOP and DFL run, although the GOP is definitely the artists when it comes to misrepresentation of facts. Obviously too, there are the foot soldiers of the parties that act as if they are convinced of the legitimacy of the argument. However, it is most disappointing that americans in general appear to be incapable of discerning, even after initial falsehoods are debunked, how they are being lied to. It's embarassing really, to be associated as an american with such silly and vacuous people that apparently have no capability to think at all.
It resonates with the rest of the world too…in the wrong way.
It's hard for me to believe that people are still willing to advance OBAMA!'s agenda for health insurance. Have you forgotten that the ACA was purported to substantially increase jobs (of course anyone who actually believed that had to be "smoking crack" as we used to joke about dumb teachers in high school)? Why people believe that using the government to provide "free" benefits to one group of people paid for by a different group of people will be a net gain to society is beyond me. Think for a moment about your kids. Would you provide free stuff for your kids for the rest of their lives? Would that be a good idea? Yet most liberals believe that if government does the same it is a good idea. That defies common sense for society but is certainly logical if one is interested in building a constituency to be re-elected.
No jobs lost. Even better those big employer jobs held primarily for the health insurance will be filled by people who need the job primarily for income, meaning more income that will be spend, stimulating the economy.
Even better still, many of those bound to the big employers for insurance will be either start small businesses or become available to small business. A huge portion of the working population has been locked into the wrong jobs just to get health insurance – a massive drag on the economy due misuse of some of our nations most talented people.

Ryan v Mutual Tontine Westminster Chambers [1893] 1 Ch 116
Contract law – Employment contract – Services
This case involved a residential flat, in which the flats were leased to several tenants. The leases contained a covenant that agreed that the premises were let subject to the regulations made by the owners in relation to the resident porter. The regulations provided that the block should be in charge of a resident porter who would act as a servant to those in the blocks and was in constant attendance by himself or an assistant on a temporary basis. The owners appointed a cook to this role who employed others to perform his duties whilst he worked at a local restaurant. The owner brought an action on the basis that the lessee had breached the covenant in the agreement between the parties. The trial judge found that an injunction could be granted to prevent the further breach of the contract by the lessee. This decision was appealed.
The court was required to consider whether the grant of an injunction to prevent the cook from further breaching the agreement could be appropriate. It was also submitted by the owner that if this could not be granted then specific performance might be appropriate in the circumstances.
Having considered the wording of the agreement between the parties and the facts, the court could not grant an injunction to prevent the cook from continuing the breach, or order specific performance for him to carry this out. On this basis, the court allowed the appeal from the lessee and reversed the earlier decision of the trial judge.

Bringing Social Stories to Life Workshop/
#edtech #atomiclearning #edchat
My friends over at Atomic Learning are offering this online training workshop that explores the different technologies you can use to bring new life to social stories in the context of arriving at school. Arriving at school can be difficult for many students with ASD because it's an unstructured time which can be noisy, and there is the opportunity to interact with other students.
As we create our social story, we will explore the different features of Explain Everything, Puppet Pals, StoryBook Creator Pro and iMovie® so that we can compare the features and get a sense for the most appropriate tool for individual situations. You will also have a chance to view the finished story created by each of these apps.

Once a new program takes effect, U.S. truckers hauling into Canada will be required to send cargo information to the Canada Border Services Agency in advance of arriving at the border or risk being delayed or turned back. The program known as eManifest is not in full force yet, but the U.S. Commercial Service is hosting an online class to help truckers understand the process.
In short, eManifest applies to all modes of modes of cargo transportation entering Canada. It requires those transporting cargo to electronically transmit information about the cargo, vehicle and driver to the border ahead of the trip. Once implemented, the requirement will apply to owner-operators, small and large fleets, brokers, shippers and freight forwarders hauling into Canada.
The objectives are to make the border more secure and reduce waiting times for trucks. It's similar to a program called ACE that the U.S. implemented for cargo shipments entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico.
The U.S. Commercial Service, part of the Department of Commerce, will conduct an online course, called a webinar, on July 15, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Eastern, to update and inform stakeholders about the eManifest program.
According to the U.S. Commercial Service, the webinar will go over the proposed changes and help truckers – especially small-business truckers and owner-operators – understand what they'll be required to do once eManifest is in full force.
Click here to register for the webinar. Final instructions for logging in will be emailed to participants prior to the start of the webinar. Questions about the webinar may be directed to Tracey Ford with the U.S. Commercial Service, email@example.com, 613-688-5406.
The Canada Border Services Agency, or CBSA, first announced eManifest a few years ago, but has twice delayed implementing the full requirements of the program. The agency is currently allowing truckers, carriers, shippers, brokers and freight forwarders to sign up and use the eManifest web portal voluntarily.
The CBSA says it will give 45 days' notice before making eManifest compliance mandatory. The agency says it will also keep stakeholders informed about any changes or updates.

Conversation with 13-year-old nephew:
Me: "So, what sort of cake do you want for your birthday?"
Nephew: "A good one."
Me: "You'll have to be a bit more specific than that!"
Nephew: "Worked last year, didn't it?"
Well, it's hard to argue with that when you made last year's cake too… flattery is hard to resist. (Besides, i found this conversation rather funny and I do love both of my nephews. )
However, I did manage to extract one specific request – he wanted a cake with "lots of lollies".
I did as requested. Inspired by this picture at Made in Melissa's Kitchen I made a butter cake, coated it in chocolate icing and loaded it up with lollies. Lots and lots of lollies:
There were even lollies inside – I cut the cake into two horizontal layers, and sandwiched them together with a simple icing sugar and butter icing, loaded with little candy-coated choc drops.
And the verdict from the newly-turned-14 lad? "Good cake. You can make me that again next year!" Phew. (A big thanks to Melissa for the idea. Hers was a bit neater than mine!).
PS. Yes, the 30-day challenge has fallen by the wayside, but I'm really not that upset. I've been on holidays since mid last week and there wasn't really any baking going on, aside from the birthday cake. Sometimes, just relaxing and doing almost nothing is the best choice of all!

In 1998, approximately 100,000 CY of sediment was discharged to a 5-mile section of Fawn River, in Steuben County, Indiana as the result of a rapid draw down of an upstream reservoir (the "Event"). Prior to 1998, Fawn River below the Orland dam ("lower Fawn") was recognized as one of the best-preserved sections of river in the State of Indiana. The Fawn had a deep swift thalweg, high water quality, and a clean gravel hyporheos interconnected with the underlying aquifer.
Unlike most Indiana Rivers, this section of the Fawn had never been ditched and a wide riparian corridor of undisturbed woodlands and wetlands protected it. When the massive sediment flow entered the river in 1998, there was a large fish kill, and mussel and macro-invertebrate colonies were rapidly buried under the silt and sand. The hyper-concentrated flow (> 60% solids) buried the gravel bottom, filled the deep pools and cuts, and reduced connectivity to the underlying aquifer. The filling of the main thalweg also initiated disastrous bank erosion, and over the next several years the Fawn's banks and trees toppled into the stream. The result was a wide, shallow, slowed, warmed, and mud-choked river with anoxic conditions at the benthic interface, algal blooms, and advancing colonization by invasive aquatic vegetation. Available habitat for fish and macro-invertebrate populations was reduced and the survival of the most sediment sensitive species was uncertain.

More Religious Bigotry In The Old Media
Justin Taylor summarizes the latest round on anti-faith invective, most of it from the left.
What had become as rare as racial bigotry has flourished in recent years as the left's cultural domination has freed its hatred of moral absolutes and those who believe in them to reveal itself in the denunication of any and all who believe in a God who is not indifferent to the conduct of men and women. The Rolling Stone's description of Mike Huckabee as "full-blown nuts, a Christian goofball of the highest order" is just a blunt version of what some MSMers routinely asssert and many quietly believe.
