Condolences for Swedish Foreign Minister

Mark Tami has joined with parliamentary colleagues in expressing their sadness at the death of Swedish Foreign Minister Anna Lindh.

The Alyn & Deeside MP has supported a House of Commons motion voicing regret and shock at the tragic death of one of Sweden’s most prominent politicians.

Mr Tami said, “I send my heartfelt condolences to Anna Lindh’s family and colleagues and would call on the Government extend its condolences to the people and Government of Sweden. She was a great and gifted politician and a known internationalist.

My parliamentary assistant Hannah Blythyn attended a youth congress in Sweden back in March, which Anna Lindh spoke at. Hannah recalls an inspirational speaker and a warm woman who received a standing ovation from all at the congress.

It is a sad loss for Sweden and worldwide democracy.”

Creative Misfit

Talk: Taking the red pill

Published on May 28th, 2009

If businesses today want to succeed and be innovative they must dare to do something different. Dare to take the red pill.

On Thursday May 28th I gave a short eight minute talk at IT Forum Midtjylland Update 09. Proclaiming that I would save the it business by leading a new path of innovation powered by fun, joy and happines I compared myself to Moses, Jesus and Steve Jobs.

My intention was to keep it loose and entertaining while simultaneously trying to bring in a few truths about how I feel about the it business and the people who work in the it business. My starting point was the lack of innovation. Why, for instance, is it that you can’t have / or \ in filenames? If the it businesses want to be innovative they must learn to think in new ways, and I offered my humble help as the next savior.

Significance Of International Business For Financial system

The Champions are a Birkbeck-vast group of staff volunteers who have joined forces with the Business World project crew as a way to help and spread the phrase in regards to the new integrated system which is being carried out and rolled out over the coming months. As customers, most individuals imagine that business ought to be held to requirements of morality that apply to how they interact in their dealings with one buyer, as well as with prospects basically, within local, nationwide, and world communities.

Every Chuck Berry track is more or less the identical thing, however Maybellene” towers above the remaining—aside from Johnny B. Goode,” after all—as probably the most stunning debut singles in rock & roll history; rock stars existed earlier than Chuck Berry, but guitar gods didn’t.

Each the ‘Freeway sixty one Revisited’ album and this, its lead monitor/single, introduced heady folks lyricism and full-blown rock instrumentation together for the first time; it’s the beginning of contemporary rock & roll as we know it.

I used to have two completely different Bob Marley songs on the checklist: No Girl, No Cry” and Redemption Song.” The inclusion of No Lady, No Cry” type of bothered me since I’ve by no means notably liked the studio version—the reside reduce from ‘Stay!’ and the ‘Legend’ compilation is superior—and I wished my Bob Marley decide to return from the early a part of his profession, in order that meant curtains for Redemption Song.” Get Up, Stand Up” appeared like probably the most logical alternative.

An Overview of X-Ray Polarimetry of Astronomical Sources

NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), ST12, 320 Sparkman Drive, Huntsville, AL 35805, USA
Received: 19 January 2018 / Revised: 26 February 2018 / Accepted: 1 March 2018 / Published: 6 March 2018

We review the history of astronomical X-ray polarimetry based on the author’s perspective, beginning with early sounding-rocket experiments by Robert Novick at Columbia University and his team, of which the author was a member. After describing various early techniques for measuring X-ray polarization, we discuss the polarimeter aboard the Orbiting Solar Observatory 8 (OSO-8) and its scientific results. Next, we describe the X-ray polarimeter to have flown aboard the ill-fated original Spectrum-X mission, which provided important lessons on polarimeter design, systematic effects, and the programmatics of a shared focal plane. We conclude with a description of the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) and its prospective scientific return. IXPE, a partnership between NASA and ASI, has been selected as a NASA Astrophysics Small Explorers Mission and is currently scheduled to launch in April of 2021. View Full-Text

The third CD is an electronic / techno / ambient CD mirroring the 8 solar festivals of the year. These tracks have been specially composed and recorded and feature Unimind, John Crow, Maria Silmon and many others.  The tracks are guided by John Crow of the Southwark Mysteries (the Cambridge educated writer and performer of Crossbones graveyard fame). The tracks are up and downtempo, acid, house , ambient, some with haunting vocals, produced by the Unimind sound system, responsible for the original mega-t 'shamanarchy experiment' events.

30 second clips of tracks are available to hear on the Home page mp3 player or on the mega-t soundcloud (soundcloud.com/megat-album ) page. A 10 minute section of the meditation track ' Peace'by Ram Dass (with visuals) is available to hear from the 'Other' section page at the bottom, on Youtube.

The album booklet is a 100 page guide to shamanism, sacred dance, gaia, evolutionary consciousness, love magic, full moon celebration and nature based spirituality including articles by Ram Dass, Timothy Leary, James Lovelock, Gabrielle Roth, Terence Mckenna, Caroline Aldred, Michael Horovitz, Matthew Fox, Sir Terry Pratchett, King Arthur, Maria Morris, Thelemic Pulse, Fraser Clark (Please see the list of booklet article authors on the 'cd' page and examples of some of the artwork). The booklet also contains an updated 'diy' directory including details of organisations involved in environmental awareness, yoga, ethical banking, festival guides, protest, feng shui, healing, party organisation, druidry, wicca and more.
The mega-t album booklet is printed on primarily sugarcane bagasse paper- paper made from the waste of the sugarcane plant- an environmentally-friendly crop (and is the most environmentally-friendly paper on the planet).

Packaging on the album overall is 100% environmentally-friendly. The cd's are recycled (this means everything apart from the silver layer), the cd box is printed using non-toxic water-based varnish and is 100% recyclable. It comes from a company which is 'carbon-neutral' via co2 balance and uses FSC certified sustainable premium card. All inks in the packaging / on the cd's are vegetable based. The booklet is printed on primarily sugarcane bagasse paper which is elemental chlorine and acid free, using renewable raw materials. The paper mill uses an effluent water irrigation system and is self-sustaining. Sugarcane is a C4 plant which means it is very effective at photosynthesis taking in more carbon dioxide than other plants. The UN is currently trying to transfer this capacity into rice plants to help as a solution to climate change. The tree seed bags are 100% biodegradeable (Europe only). Postage envelopes are 100% recycled and bubblewrap in the postage for the album is 100% biodegradeable. The album is arguably the most environmentally-friendly music product ever produced. (and certainly we believe the most environmentally-friendly electronic dance music product ever produced).
The album also comes with a single ('t') tea bag of green tea and a scented paper within the album booklet which gives the booklet some scent (lavender, honeysuckle, jasmine, seascape, patchouli).
All tracks are copyright P & C drl ltd 2012.

Please see a few undedited raw archive video clips from the 'mega-t' live events on the 'Videos' page (filmed by Steve Teers of Diva Pictures www.divapix.co.uk)  circa 1993-1996 (the mega-t archive).

30 second clips of tracks from the album in the correct order can be heard at http://soundcloud.com/megat-album/ and at the bottom of the home page.

Please see the 'CD' page for full details, 'Download' for full details of how to obtain the download and 'Our Blog' for some background and information on the album and a few articles on contributors / artists.

Mentoring in 5 key areas

by Keith Farmer

The role of the Christian leader, particularly the role of leading a local church, is one of the most diverse and difficult vocations in our society. The pressures and stresses of Christian leadership have led many to abandon ministry, and in some cases to abandon church and faith altogether.

My personal experience as a leader and mentor has led me to conclude that although the skills of ministry leadership are important, character issues are even more important. Effective ‘doing’ comes out of effective ‘being’. What we do is based on who we are. Effective transformational leadership over an extended period of time depends deeply on the Christian character of the leader. If character unravels under pressure, then ministry leadership is severely and adversely affected.

Mentoring is therefore an ongoing relationship of choice on the part of both the mentor and the mentoree. It is the equivalent of the GP medical checkup that is designed to monitor the vital signs for ongoing health. It monitors 5 key areas of the leader’s wellbeing:

  • Spirituality (how are you and God?)
  • the health of key relationships (how is your relationship with ???),
  • emotional health (how are you coping with workload, ministry, people, conflict, staff relationships, how is your level of emotional exhaustion – give me a 1 – 10 score)
  • general lifestyle health (are you sleeping well, eating well, getting time off, how was your last day off?, last retreat day?)
  • vulnerabilities (what vulnerability at present could the evil one exploit to take you out of ministry?).

The key qualifications required for a mentor of Christian leaders is that the person has had significant experience as a Christian leader themselves (probably at least 10 years and preferably longer), and that they are still in good shape i.e. they still love God, their family, the Church and people in general.

Christian leadership is such a personal and multi skilled vocation that I would suggest the Mentoree also has a Coach (for what they do), and that they are strongly embedded in a ‘Ministry Leaders Support Group’ where honesty is fostered by each confessing – “I am a pastor” etc.

My experience tells me that Mentoring is best seen as having a “Relational” emphasis where the mentoree is asked – “How are you going?” – and he or she is able to talk about whatever is on their heart and mind. It then gradually evolves into the Mentor checking, through pertinent questions, each of the 5 key areas mentioned above.

The regularly, length, mode and place of mentoring have many options! I find 4 or 5 contacts per year each of 2 hours for an individual and 3 hours for a couple works well for most leaders.

Mentoring overlaps with, but is not synonymous with pastoral care, counselling, coaching, and supervision. I believe at its heart mentoring is basically about discipling and is vital for Christian faith as well as leadership.

Evan Sammons, the band’s drummer, commented: “We’re thrilled by the response to ‘Level 2.’ Fans, critics and forum kids alike have been incredibly positive. It’s great to feel that people get what we’re about and are excited about it. Touring with some of our favorite progressive artists this summer is the icing on the cake.”

In the meantime, the band continues to have a busy tour schedule supporting their Prosthetic debut, “Level 2,” which came out in February. You can download the album’s companion video game demo, here at the band’s official blog site, “Level 2,” the album, can be ordered on its own, or with an exclusive shirt, at PROSTHETIC’s official webstore:

LAST CHANCE TO REASON teamed up with producer Jamie King (Between the Buried and Me) to create a modern take on the classic progressive concept album. Drawing influence from the 70’s prog of King Crimson and Yes, composers Steve Reich and Schoenberg as well as prog-metal masters Opeth, Dream Theater and Cynic, LCTR’s “Level 2” takes the band in awe-inspiring new directions.

Set in a Tron-like virtual world, the album’s concept revolves around the relationship between man and technology, our move from physical reality to virtual spaces and what these changes mean to our lives and our art. The lyrics are expressed from the point of view of an artificial intelligence facing the violent reality of a videogame world.

Since forming in 2005, LAST CHANCE TO REASON has shared the stage with Atheist, Born of Osiris, Periphery, The Red Chord, Daath, Revocation, Unearth and many more.

High Blood Pressure 2017-02-20T01:27:00+00:00

High Blood Pressure

Also called: Benign essential hypertension, Essential hypertension, HBP, HTN, Hypertension

Blood pressure is the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your arteries. Each time your heart beats, it pumps blood into the arteries. Your blood pressure is highest when your heart beats, pumping the blood. This is called systolic pressure. When your heart is at rest, between beats, your blood pressure falls. This is called diastolic pressure.

Your blood pressure reading uses these two numbers. Usually the systolic number comes before or above the diastolic number. A reading of

  • 119/79 or lower is normal blood pressure
  • 140/90 or higher is high blood pressure
  • Between 120 and 139 for the top number
  • Between 80 and 89 for the bottom number is called prehypertension.

Prehypertension means you may end up with high blood pressure, unless you take steps to prevent it.

High blood pressure usually has no symptoms, but it can cause serious problems such as stroke, heart failure, heart attack and kidney failure.

You can control high blood pressure through healthy lifestyle habits and taking medicines, if needed.

Females $9.31 $7.45 $5.59 $4.10 $3.80 $3.80

Because we sell thousands of edible duck eggs a week, it is important we produce eggs efficiently and consistently. In 1996 we developed the Golden 300 Hybrid as they lay more and larger eggs, have a higher fertility and are calmer than the Khaki Campbell. The Khaki Campbell may be a good egg producer in small flocks but we were never satisfied with their production in our larger commercial flocks. Because of this inconsistency, we developed the Golden 300 Hybrid by crossing and utilizing the attributes of different duck breeds.

The Golden 300 Hybrid can be sexed at any age by its color as the males are shades of black and the females are shades of brown. Unfortunately, they do not retain this characteristic in future generations. So if you mate a Golden 300 Hybrid with another Golden 300 Hybrid, their progeny will hatch in blacks, yellows and browns with no relationship between sex and color.

As adults the females range in color from a very light brown to a very dark brown, often with areas of white on them. Males can appear much like a Rouen, or a dull looking Cayuga or with white and dark markings.

Limited Availability (<10 ducks)

Some of our customers wanted a white bird that laid as well as the Golden 300 Hybrid. In 1999 we developed the White Layer to meet this demand. The egg production of these two breeds is identical on our farm.

For us, the Golden 300 is a calm bird, much like the Buff, Cayuga, and Blue Swedish. However, we have had reports from some (not all) customers that they are a very nervous bird, much like the Khaki Campbell. We cannot explain why some flocks are calm and some are nervous. Our guess is that at some point they were panicked enough that they were permanently traumatized and spent the rest of their lives nervous. We don't know when ducks are most sensitive to this trauma nor why it happens to some flocks and not others.

If you are interested in producing duck eggs to sell, we recommend you go our Maximizing Egg Production page for more information on this topic.

If you want to find locally produced duck eggs, go to our page Our Customers That Sell Fresh Duck Eggs. If you would like to be placed on this page as a seller of duck eggs, see the requirements on this same page.

Cass Tech #5 : Best Arguments For And Against

Posted to on Tuesday, January 25, 2011

Here’s the 5th and final part of the series on Cass Tech High school. Let’s assume there’s a continuum for saving buildings. People on one side say: save the building at all costs, like Europeans who cherish 1,000 year old ruins. People on the other side say: tear it down. It’s been closed for a year. It’s a monument to misery. Michigan Now’s Chris McCarus has been hearing the best arguments from both sides.

With the possible of exceptions of Central or Mumford, Cass Tech produced Detroit’s best and brightest for almost a century. Carol Gist-Stramler was the first African-American Miss USA in 1990. These days she’s a mother and fitness teacher in metro Detroit.

“That building served so many lives, so many families, a community and Detroit itself…with its heart in automotive and an industry. It’s like the heartbeat of Detroit. It should remain.”

Administrators paid about $3 million last year to demolish 10 schools. That’s according to Joel Landy. Over the years, Joel Landy has bought four small schools. He gave them new uses: movie theater, recording studio, apartments and offices. Landy salvaged the original architects drawings of Cass Tech from a dumpster.

“Should spend a few hundred thousand. Make it look nice. Keep it alarmed. Someone will use it someday. You don’t need the land and you’re not accomplishing anything putting it in a landfill.”

Joel Landy says tearing down buildings is an instinct learned from the auto industry. New car model years conditioned drivers to get rid of what they paid for. It’s an anti-materialist argument. Think of the energy it took to make this 8 story school: food grown to feed workers, workers bodies to cut marble, lumber, stone, brick, aluminum, copper. Then fossil fuels to run heavy equipment. All paid for.

“They embody a lot of energy. If you were to replace the buildings you’re throwing away all the energy that’s in these buildings.”

Liz Knibbe is an architect in Ann Arbor. She says historic tax credits can cover half the cost. Got a $100 million project? You can pay for $50 million of it because companies will buy your tax credits.

Last Sunday’s service at Plymouth United Church of Christ was filled with Cass Tech graduates. One is the church pastor: the Reverend Dr. Nicholas Hood III.

“You know the building was built so well that I’m sure if it had a good reuse and a proper revenue stream to maintain it I’m sure it would be very functional.”

Hood sounds like Landy. Pay a few hundred thousand to mothball Cass Tech. Instead of paying $3 million to demolish it in February.

“To see that the building has fallen into disrepair to me that’s a sad commentary on our city leadership.”

In the last election, Detroit Public Schools Emergency Financial Manager Robert Bobb got voters to approve a $500 million bond. That’s being spent on building new schools and demolishing old ones. DPS is still hemoraging money.. The budget deficit is $327 million.

“The biggest mission for me, upon assuming the principalship, was to get a new building.”

George Cohen got it built in 2005 next door to the old Cass Tech. Cohen says rodents had been motivating him since he took the job in 1993.

“It starts with a student yelling. And there’s a rat. And then it just goes from that point. So you have to go through the process of calming them down.”

Cohen is supported by Deborah Jones-Gatson, class of ‘72.

“It has become an eyesore and a detriment to that community. It just needs to be torn down. It’s unsafe. It’s unsightly. And as much as I hate to see it go it needs to.”

This magnet school was called the pickle factory. Nerdy students came from all over town with armloads of books. Then 4,000 crammed into that grey building, packed like pickles. Walter Willard won’t miss it.

“It’s connected to the people. I had negative vibes 50 years ago when the kids laughed at me for going to that factory. It’s not the building. It’s the people.”

Sherri Childs Quinn is not convinced either. To her the building is a demented, crippled blind old man, with drool on his face. Let him have his dignity and die.

“I know what that meant for me.”

Vandalism to the building hurts. Richard Baron says he has a remedy.

“Preserve it and you’ll feel much better.”

Baron wants to redevelop it. But first he’s got to halt the demolition work going on.

Defence Forces Overseas History

Lt Col Justin MacCarthy in front. First step (l-r): Comdt Malachi Higgins and Capt Pat Lavelle . Second Step: Comdt Gerard Coghlan and Capt Rory Henderson

The Defence Forces made its first contribution to peacekeeping in 1958 when some fifty officers were assigned to the United Nations Observer Group in Lebanon (UNOGIL) as observers along the Armistice Demarcation Line (ADL) between Lebanon and Israel. When their mission with UNOGIL was finished some transferred to the UN Truce Supervision Organisation (UNTSO), an organisation which had been established in 1948.

The first peacekeeping mission to which an armed Irish contingent was committed was to the Operation des Nations Unies au Congo (ONUC), from 1960 to 1964. An Irish officer, Lt Gen S McKeown, was Force Commander of ONUC from Jan 1961 to Mar 1962 and over 6,000 Irishmen served on this mission with a loss of 26 lives. Peacekeeping Operations are manned by armed contingents from member states placed under the command of the United Nations.

Since then the Defence Forces have continuously provided an armed contingent to the UN, except during the period May 1974 to May 1978. These contingents were normally an infantry battalion of approximately 600 personnel or an infantry group of over 400 personnel.

Departure for the Congo
Departure for the Congo

An infantry group served with the United Nations Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) from 1964 to 1973. Since then Ireland has provided officers and NCOs to the staff of UNFICYP until its commitment ceased in 2005.

In October 1973 the infantry group in Cyprus was moved to the Second United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF II) in the Sinai to supervise the cease-fire between Israel and Egypt after the Yom Kippur War. Irish troops were withdrawn from UNEF II in July 1974 in the aftermath of the bombings in Dublin and Monaghan.

Defence Forces Personnel in Cyprus

Ireland’s next commitment to a peacekeeping force was on the activation of UNIFIL, in 1978. To date over 30,000 personnel have served in Lebanon.

Contingents in peacekeeping operations are generally infantry units, lightly armed for their own defence only. The UN Mandate establishing a Peacekeeping Force makes provision for the use of arms for self defence. The terms of reference for the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) mandate, for example, state that self defence includes action against attempts, by forceful means, to prevent UNIFIL from discharging its duties under the Mandate.

Irish Op South Lebanon

On 15 October 1998, Ireland signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the United Nations, which commits the Defence Forces to participation in the United Nations Standby Arrangements System (UNSAS). By subscribing to UNSAS, Ireland offers to provide up to 850 Defence Forces’ personnel for UN peacekeeping operations at any given time.

In early December 2004, the EU embarked on its largest ESDP crisis management operation to date - Operation Althea. The operation is a follow-on mission to the NATO led UN-mandated SFOR mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Defence Forces’ initial SFOR deployment involved a military police unit. The military police were withdrawn from SFOR in January 2003 but 12 members of the Defence Forces continued to serve at SFOR headquarters in Sarajevo.

These personnel transferred to EUFOR headquarters when the mission was handed over to EUFOR.

Mimi Herrera-Pease is a San Francisco-based painter who was born in Mexico City.  Her mother, an American artist, and father, an engineer from Veracruz, Mexico, exposed their daughter to Mexican art and culture.  Frequent visits to museums and galleries in Mexico and Los Angeles, where she grew up, shaped her desire to become an artist.

Upon high school graduation, Herrera-Pease enrolled at ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena. She majored in Graphic Design and Packaging.  While successful there, she soon realized that commercial art was not the direction she wanted to pursue.  Herrera-Pease transferred to San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI) and discovered a world of creativity.

Under the tutelage of the late Carlos Villa (Guggenheim Fellow), she learned technique and self expression through oil painting.  Influenced by the New York School of Abstract Expressionism, Bay Area Figurative, and Neo-Expressionist movements, Herrera-Pease honed her skills as an abstract painter.  Early influences were Jay De Feo, Robert Rauschenberg, Mark Rothko, Willem De Kooning, Helen Frankenthaler, Franz Kline, Robert Motherwell, and Jean Michel Basquiat.

"The immediacy of painting allows me to expose my inner self through abstract art," says Herrera-Pease. "There is no point of reference, which I find challenging and exciting.”

Herrera-Pease graduated from SFAI and began working as a union scenic artist in San Francisco (IATSE Local 16).  She worked at American Conservatory Theater (ACT), in film, television, and commercials for twelve years.  She married, had three children, and began a business in architectural color consulting before returning to her passion, oil on canvas.

On November 10, 2016, Herrera-Pease was inducted into the National Association of Women Artists, headquartered in New York City.

Hot Ham and Cheese Dip

Hi everyone!  Today I have a recipe for you that you can throw together with left over ham from Easter, if you are like me and freeze the left overs.  I made some toast points, cut up some carrots, celery, bell peppers and called it lunch.  The kids loved it and even better than that, there were no left overs.

1 brick of softened cream cheese, I used fat free but you can use whatever you like
1 tablespoon of Mayo, you wont taste the mayo it helps with the texture
1 tablespoon of spicy mustard
1 tablespoon of sour cream
2 green onions both the green and white part diced
2 cups of shredded cheese, I used a blend of cheddar and Colby cheeses
2 cups of ham diced
A dash of Cayenne pepper (optional)

Preheat your oven to 350, next grab a medium mixing bowl and cream together the cream cheese, mustard, mayo and sour cream.  Blend them together until you have a rich creamy texture.  Now add in the ham, green onions and shredded cheese.  Mix until all ingredients are incorporated.  In a small casserole dish or whatever baking dish you have on hand, spoon in the ham and cheese mixture and spread evenly into your baking dish.  Sprinkle the top with a little more shredded cheese and bake uncovered for about 30-45 minutes, or until hot, bubbly and golden brown on top.  When the dip comes out of the oven, sprinkle the top with Cayenne pepper (optional).  I cut up some toast points, and veggies and the kids had this for lunch.  They loved it and I loved the fact that there were no left overs.

Live, laugh and love and thank you all for stopping by.  Heather

3 Day Fried Chicken

Hi everyone, the recipe we will be making today is very time consuming.  Its the longest recipe I make, however your patience is key.  Everyone thinks fried chicken is a very simple when you know how to do it.  It is very simple however the key to making fried chicken that stands above all others including some fast food restaurants that shall remain nameless, this is where your patience will pay off.  This fried chicken has so much flavor and crisp, you will be slapping your own self away from the table to get a piece of it.  Yes it's a labor of love and your hard work will pay off.  So follow me as I take you through day by day for my 3 day fried chicken!

2-5 pounds of chicken I used large chicken thighs but you can use whatever cuts you like
1 quart of buttermilk
3 tablespoons of salt of your choice the kind of salt doesn't matter just use it
3-5 cups of cold water
4 eggs beaten
4 dashes of hot sauce (optional)
2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons of corn starch (very important for crispiness)
Seasonings: (you can change out to other seasonings you like, this is just what I used):  1 tablespoon of Seasoned salt
1 tablespoon of Granulated Garlic
1 tablespoon of Italian Seasoning
1 teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper
1/8 of a teaspoon of black pepper

Day 1:  Grab a large bowl with a lid and add the 3 tablespoons of salt and cold water, stir and allow the salt to dissolve some and add your chicken.  You will want the water to cover the chicken but don't over flow or you wont be able to close the lid to the bowl. Now let the chicken sit for 24 hours in your fridge.
Day 2: Once 24 hours is up drain all the water and rinse the chicken.  Now add in the buttermilk leave about 2 inches from the top empty because the weight of the chicken will make the buttermilk rise.  Now add in the chicken. Put the lid back on and let sit for another 24 hours exactly.
Day 3:  Now its time to fry your chicken, first you need to drain off the buttermilk but DO NOT RINSE.  Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.  While the chicken is drying add about 2-3 cups of vegetable oil to a cast iron frying pan or just use what you have for a frying pan but cast iron works the best, turn your burner to medium heat to let the oil come to cooking temperature.  To tell if the oil is ready sprinkle a tiny bit of flour in the oil if it starts to bubble up really nice then you know the oil is ready.  Now grab two bowls large enough for your chicken.  In one bowl add your beaten eggs and hot sauce.  In the second bowl add flour, corn starch and seasonings to. Mix them up with a fork.  Now once your chicken is dry add the chicken to the flour and seasonings, then the egg and back to the flour.  This will make a good coating for frying.  Once all your chicken is coated, slowly and gently add the chicken to the oil and cook for 15 minutes on each side.  Because my chicken was so large I had to pre heat my oven to 350 and let the chicken fully cook for another 20 minutes.  However smaller pieces of chicken like chicken legs can be fully cooked right in the oil.  Once the chicken is in the oil though DO NOT MESS WITH IT!  Leave it alone for 15 minutes or until you see parts of the underside of the chicken that are golden brown.  If you move the chicken around you will lose all that coating and all those 3 days will be all for not.  Once all the chicken is cooked grab a lint free tea towel and a large bowl to put your chicken in and serve it up.  As always any and all sides go well with fried chicken.  Down below is a video where you can see step by step what I did.  I hope your family enjoys this recipe as much as my family does.  Live , laugh and love.

Apple Fries with Vanilla Cinnamon Yogurt Dip

Have you ever had a craving for one thing and by the time you made what you were craving, it turned into something completely different?  Let me explain, a few days ago I was craving french fries.  Yes even after gastric bypass you still get hungry, you still get cravings.  It happens a lot more than what people admit to also.  Well obviously I didn't have french fries but I have been finding since I made these little gems, I crave these instead.  Its a good thing too because they are very good for you. I will give you the recipe to both the dip and the apple fries because even though they are great on their own, when they are together, Oh my goodness gracious!  They are something to be had.

4-6 apples, I used gala but any apple will work
1/3 cup of sugar or sugar substitute, I used my no calorie sugar substitute
2-3 tablespoons of cinnamon, depending on how much cinnamon you like, I like things spicy so I used closer to 3 tablespoons
1/2 cup to a cup of vanilla flavored greek yogurt, I used oikos triple zero vanilla yogurt (15 grams of protein per container)

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and spray a cookie sheet with non stick cooking spray.
You will want to slice up your apples like fries, all I did was slice off pieces of the apple around the core.  Then I sliced those chunks thin to make skinny half moon shapes.  After my apples were sliced, I mixed the sugar and cinnamon together on a large plate, and threw my apple slices in the cinnamon mixture.  Make sure to coat all sides of the apples.  Now just arrange them on your cookie sheet so they are not touching one another.  Bake for about 20-30 minutes and flip them once half way through the cooking time.  While those are cooking, its time to whip up the dip.  Grab your yogurt and add in your cinnamon sugar mixture about a tablespoon.  Mix it all up and store it in your fridge until your apple fries are out of the oven.  Once the apples are finished cooking, start taking the apples off the cookie sheet.  DO NOT LET THEM COOL ON THE COOKIE SHEET!  They will stick like cement.  Serve them on a plate with some of the dip and boom you are in snack Heaven, and you didn't have to break your diet to do so.  Its a win win situation.

I hope you all enjoy your apple fries and whether or not you make the dip with them is totally up to you but for me you cannot have one without the other.  Live ,laugh and love everyone.

Rooty Tooty Fresh and Fruity Salad

Hello everyone!  I made this salad over Easter for breakfast and oh my gosh, what a delicious addition to scrambled eggs if I do say so myself.  As some of you know I have had gastric bypass back in October.  I want to warn some of you now this is made with artificial sweeteners.  Real sugars, honey, ect makes me sick.  So to broaden my horizons flavor wise I use artificial sweeteners.  Honestly I cannot tell a difference in flavor, texture or otherwise.  I just know that I am not sick to my stomach after eating it.  However if you are still with the full sugar crowd have at it.  Far be it for me to tell you what you can and cannot have.  Just don't be telling me how awful artificial sweeteners are, I am well aware but believe me folks when I say I would be limited to very few things if I didn't partake in artificial sweeteners.  Different boats for different folks, live and let live.  Now with that all being said let's talk about this salad shall we?  As I mentioned this is packed with so much flavor you wont even miss the whipped cream or high calorie pastry some people put with this stuff like this.  Don't be taking my word for it, see for yourself when you make it!

2 apples diced
3 oranges reserve one orange off to the side
24 strawberries cut in half
2 bananas sliced and put off to the side
1/3 cup of artificial sweetener or sugar your choice
The juice of 1 orange

Ok so grab a cutting board and cut up all your fruit.  Put the bananas off to the side you will see why in a minute.  Next mix the sugar and fresh orange juice together.  Pour it over the fruit and leave out on your counter covered for 30 minutes.  This gives all the fruit time to macerate or release their juices.  Now right before you serve this peel and cut up the bananas and add the sliced bananas to everyone's individual bowls.  You do this so the bananas don't turn to mush and they will be fresh every time you have this salad.  You can serve this with scrambled eggs like I did, have it with oatmeal or by itself.

Live, Laugh and Love

New Kicks: Nike Air Max Sneakers

Who knew that new sneakers could bring someone such happiness?! Well they do! I am obsessed with my new Nike Air Max sneakers. Recently I have seen these shoes all over my favorite fashion blogs and of course had to buy a pair for myself! I have been hunting for these shoes which evidently were more difficult to find in stores in the United States than I had thought. Luckily, today I found a pair that were not only very affordable (being that they were at the Nike outlet) but were also the perfect color combo. If you are interested in a pair of women Air Max sneakers check out the Nike website (click here). These shoes also seem to run true to size!

Magic School Bus Days

old-school-bus-1431364-1599x1066Ms. Frizzle was transporting a school bus of kids into a digestive tract on TV as I pursed my lips, squeezed my eyes shut, and put the ruler to the top of my head. Careful not to move my hand up or down one millimeter, my pencil scratched against the door frame. Quickly I turned to see. Nope. I dropped the ruler and got into bed. I had not grown shorter.

Yes, for a brief time—spurred by my middle school love interest in a boy 1 foot shorter than me—I prayed nightly that God would make me shorter.

I am tall. Really tall. And in sixth grade, I was about the same height I am now (6 feet), which meant I was lucky enough to be the giant in braces, wearing large purple glasses, walking around with jeans four inches too short that sagged against my skeleton frame.

It was bad enough that my 7th grade teacher pulled me aside out of the blue one day to say, “Don’t worry. One day boys will be taller than you.” I was that awkward.

Oh, and it didn’t help that all my best friends happened to be gorgeous.

But Hebrews 13:5 says, “Stay away from the love of money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, ‘I will never, never fail you nor forsake you.’’”

Life is chock-full of things we want to be or have. We are nearing the Christmas season and guaranteed there are going to be people walking around December 26th in beautiful new Nikes, pea coats with oh-so-chic collars that’d make me feel like Sherlock Holmes or a New York model, shiny new Apple watches that, again, makes one feel like Sherlock Holmes of the future… you get the point.

Instead of trying to brainwash myself not to think about all the pretty things I want or wish I could be, I find it essential to read and reread the second part of Hebrews 13:5. We can be content with everything in our lives because and truly because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”

If God—you know, only the greatest most important Being in the universe—wants to create me and have a relationship with me and promises not to abandon me no matter how selfish and annoying and boring and immature I am, why not be satisfied?

Being with God—now and forever after—is much more exciting than a pair of shoes.

Let’s Discuss:

  1. What do you wish you had? What do you wish was different about yourself?
  2. If you had what you wanted, what else do you think you might want? And if you had that too, what else would you want? Do you think you could ever have enough that you’d be totally content?

Pearls and Dreams

pearls-2-1417045-1279x911We were still in pearls and trailing black dresses as we sat on barstools after the gala and talked about the evening’s end. It was the last of the ACFW conference (American Christian Fiction Writers), and we were all in good spirits after incredible food—three days of waiters offering coffee in white porcelain cups after every meal (one waiter even fluffed a napkin and put it on my lap)—conversation, interviews, and for some, awards.

I sat at the same table with one woman I’d met earlier, one who during the conference was full of grace as she encouraged and prayed for individuals as they walked into those terrifying 15 minute interviews. It was impressive to see that during the gala her face came up as one of the three finalists for an award in not just one but two categories. Unfortunately her name wasn’t called and she didn’t end up on stage with plaque in hand (this time). Still, what an honor. I congratulated her, but saw the understandable disappointment lingering in her eyes.

I thought to myself, “I’d be thrilled to be you! Walk home with two finalists awards under my belt.”

And it made me think.

Of the hundreds at that conference, we all had the same basic goal and could easily look to the person on our left or right and want to be in their position. The fun-loving girl chit chatting about thrift shops and plane tickets ended up being an author of (*pause while I google*) 12 books! I go to the bathroom and recognize the face of an author whose book I’m currently reading (I almost chanted the creepy phrase from a bathroom scene in her novel over the stall)! I turn around at dinner to find I’m back-to-back with none other than Francine Rivers.

But regardless of where we are, of the temptations to want to be in others’ shoes and situations, I find the words of Lewis impeccable:

“Never, in peace or war, commit your virtue or your happiness to the future. Happy work is best done by the man who takes his long-term plans somewhat lightly and works from moment to moment ‘as to the Lord.’ It is only our daily bread that we are encouraged to ask for. The present is the only time in which any duty can be done or any grace received.”

What’s the point of not being happy with wherever I am right now? As a follower of God my hopes and dreams are not even my own. Who cares if I succeed or fail in finding an agent, selling my book, writing words that reach hundreds, thousands, millions? If it is not in the will of God, or of eternal significance, then may such ventures pass away unattended. But if it is the will of God, and of eternal significance, then I’m sure God can nudge the plans forward for His glory.

Because, after all, this isn’t about me.

Always be joyful.

Never stop praying.

Be thankful in all circumstances,

for this is God’s will for you

who belong to Christ Jesus.

Einsteinmas Day

capitol hill christmas treeWhat’s wrong with this picture?

A postman drives his little white truck down the country road. A teenage girl in her 1992 red mustang laughs to herself as she reads the text from her best friend. Her glossy pink nails begin tapping a reply, just as she hears the squeals of tires grinding on pavement. She drops her phone as she swerves the wheel and cries, “Abraham Lincoln!”

A CIA agent grips the chair as he stands before the suited men. Flurries fly by outside the window. “There’s no time,” he says. “He demands the money by 12:01 Einsteinmas Day.”

An archaeologist kicks the shovel deeper into the ground as dust fills the air. She coughs and lifts the scarf to her nose. Sweat rolls off her nose and splatters to the ground. Her breath reeks of coffee; after all, she hasn’t slept in two days. But she’s so close she can feel it. Just moments, mere moments from an artifact that has been trying to be found since 206 BC—Before Candy.

Jesus has rocked the world. No matter who we are, and what we believe, His name and message has infiltrated our existence. Whether I’m reading something from 600 BC (Before Christ), opening presents beneath the tree of America’s favorite holiday, or hearing someone swear by His name, we cannot escape Jesus.

Recently, as I was reading through some books for a class I’m preparing, I was stopped by these words:

This Galilean, who in his lifetime spoke to fewer people than would fill just one of the many stadia Graham has filled, changed the world more than any other person. He introduced a new force field into history, and now holds the allegiance of a third of all people on earth.1

A third.

If I were God (bad idea—let that be clear), my plan would be to circuit Jesus around the world. Maybe I’d make Him into clones so there were thousands of Him. Or I’d stop time and give hundreds of years to chit chat to every person He sees. But what happened instead? Jesus toured around a few miniscule miles in his teeny tiny dot area of Earth for a ministry span of a measly three years. Then, poof! He’s gone and now a projected 2.92 billion people (31.4%) are estimated to follow Jesus. Really? From a plan like that? As a Christian myself, it makes me think, “If God changes the world with that plan, what might He also be wanting to do in my life? With someone so insignificant as me?”

Or yours?

Who knows, with a willing heart He may do immeasurably more than we could ever ask for or imagine.

Bombers continue to soar

Barnum Bomber Zach Peterson intercepts an East Central pass.

The Barnum Bombers were again on the road, this time taking the drive to East Central to take on the Eagles.

The game began with the Eagles receiving the ball on their own 26 yard line. The Eagles got the ball down to their 35 yard line before turning the ball over on down, giving the Bombers great field position.

The Bombers worked the ball down the field and ended with a Brandon Newman 3-yard touchdown run. Cody Shelgren was tackled in the backfield on the 2-point conversion. The Bombers then kicked off the ball; it was a line drive to one of the Eagles players, then was deflected and recovered by Bombers Parker Shelgren and Colton Ziegler. The Bombers came up short on this drive, being forced to punt the ball away.

The Eagles received the ball deep in their own side. The Eagles put together a very nice drive, but came up short and were forced to turn the ball over on downs.

The Bombers took over on their 23 yard line. On a 3rd and 8, the Bombers attempted a pass that was intercepted by the Eagles. The Eagles took over on the Bombers' 35 yard line.

The Eagles fumbled the ball on a 4th and 12 situation and the Bombers recovered on the quick reaction of Ziegler. The Bombers took over on the 47 yard line. Zach Peterson, Shelgren and Zac Carlson took turns marching the ball down the field to set up an 8-yard touchdown run by Newman, followed by a Newman 2-point conversion to take the Bombers into a 14-0 lead at half time.

The Bombers started the second half with the ball. Newman lined up deep for the Eagles' kickoff. Newman received the ball at the 17 yard line and ran it back out 23 yards to give the Bombers a nice start at their 40 yard line. The Bombers pounded and ground the ball out to the Eagles' 6 yard line, where there was a fumble, recovered by the Eagles.

The Eagles began to march the ball down-field, but on a pass Bomber Ziegler intercepted it and ran the ball back 54 yards. The trio of Bombers Shelgren, Carlson and Peterson took over and pounded the ball down the field ending with a Shelgren touchdown and 2-point conversion.

The Eagles received the ball on their 31 yard line and began to try to push the ball down-field by passing it. The Eagles would fair no better with their passing game and the Bombers took over on downs on the Eagles' 47 yard line.

The Bombers again began to move the ball, but the Bombers were be plagued with yet another fumble with the Eagles recovering the ball.

The Eagles' offense was not be able to find an answer to the Bombers' defense and again turned the ball over on downs. The Bombers marched the ball up-field and set up a 2-yard run by Newman to give the Bombers a 28-0 lead. The 2-point conversion again failed.

The Bombers advance to a 2-0 season, hosting Hinckley-Finlayson on Friday the 13th.

Apple Increases iPad with Retina Display to 128GB
      01/29/13 03:18 PM

Apple today announced a 128GB version of the fourth generation iPad with Retina display. The 128GB iPad with Wi-Fi and iPad with Wi-Fi + Cellular models provide twice the storage capacity of the 64GB models to hold even more valuable content including photos, documents, projects, presentations, books, movies, TV shows, music and apps. More info:

Check out our review of the iPad with Retina Display at:

Check out our video review of the iPad with Retina Display at:

iPad continues to have a significant impact on business with virtually all of the Fortune 500 and over 85 percent of the Global 500 currently deploying or testing iPad. Companies regularly utilizing large amounts of data such as 3D CAD files, X-rays, film edits, music tracks, project blueprints, training videos and service manuals all benefit from having a greater choice of storage options for iPad.

Microsoft apologises for NoDo delay

Microsoft apologises for NoDo delayMicrosoft’s Joe Belfiore, corporate vice president and director of Windows Phone Program Management, has apologised for the delay in rolling out the Nodo update for WP7, after mistakenly suggesting the process was “complete” during a video interview.

The interview was posted on Microsoft’s Channel 9 site, and caused a slew of irate comments from WP7 users.

Joe eventually commented himself, explaining: “I referred to our updates as “complete” because I was thinking of the internal process where we pass completed software to another group who delivers them – but of course no update is complete until you all have it.”

The update process hasn’t gone very well at all. First there was the pre-update that brought no noticeable new features and reportedly bricked a number of Samsung phones. Then the actual update was pushed back. Many users are still waiting.

Belfiore acknowledged the problems, saying: “We know it’s been frustrating to wait for features/fixes and (probably worse) to hear little from us on specific dates. We are sorry the process has been rocky.”

Joe concludes: “The main thing we are trying to do is to get the updates out to everyone in a way that is reliable and works, and then make our process better and more transparent in the future.” As a first step, a Where's my phone update? table has been published.

The Nodo update brings a number of improvements to Windows Phone 7, most notably copy & paste. Mango is expected later in the year. It’ll introduce multitasking and IE9 with partial HTML 5 support.

All through windows mobile 5, 6 and 6.1 the windows update app did NOTHING!
Then they released 6.5, and lol, it had the same 'update app'. and guess what that did?! (and of course, you couldn't even uninstall the app pfft)
