Peanut Butter Cheesecake Swirl Brownies

I am so so excited to share these peanut butter cheesecake swirl brownies with you today!  Not only because they are awesome, but also because they are brought to you not only by myself, but also by the Loveland Center in Venice Florida.

When I heard a few weeks ago that Loveland was participating in The Giving Partner 36 Hour Challenge, an online only fundraising event, I knew I wanted to make something super special to celebrate even though I couldn't be there in person.

At first I thought about making something to integrate their brand new logo, which I happen to really love.

But then I realized, what better way to show how important I think the work done at Loveland is than through my own personal experience with the cause that they serve.

I have a pretty small family.  Small but great.  One of the most wonderful members of my family, let alone one of the greatest people I've ever had the pleasure to know, is my cousin Trisha.

If anyone has the right to complain about the cards they've been dealt in life, it's her.  And yet she never once has.  She has the funny way of putting things into perspective for me and helping me to remember what it's all about.

A prime example would be when one day I was chatting with her about my love of traveling and all the places I'd love to visit one day.  I asked her where she would go if she could travel absolutely anywhere in the world.

After a little thought she looked at me and said, "Mare, I think I'd come to your house and hang out with you."

Trish is, simply put, amazing.  And not to mention one of my favorite people to bake with.

Therefore when I was thinking about what I would make to help celebrate Loveland's participation in the 36 hour challenge, I knew brownies (one of Trish and I's favorite thing to bake together) were the perfect way to praise all that they do.

To quote Loveland themselves,

 "Loveland Center focuses on offering individualized services which empower adults with developmental disabilities to make informed decisions in regard to work, lifestyle and citizenship so that they may become more self-sufficient and interconnected within the community."

I can say first hand that the time I have volunteered there has been well spent.  They do wonderful work.

The Giving Partner 36 Hour Challenge is an online only fundraising event where every donation received will be automatically doubled. This event begins at 6:00am on Tuesday, March 27th and ends at 6:00pm on Wednesday, March 28th.

Loveland is competing against over 100 local nonprofits for the funding out of $500,000 available.

And there is more than one way for you to help out!

1.) Call and make a donation at (941)-685-0720.
2.) Go to www.givingpartnerchallenge.org, search for Loveland Center and donate in that way.
3.) Like them on Facebook.
4.) Check out their website and learn more about what they do.

I don't put all of my effort behind just any cause, but for me this one is absolutely worth it.  So definitely take a minute and check it all out if you can.

I would also like to take this moment to say thank you to my wonderful mom, who has encouraged me from my youngest days that not only should every person be accepted for exactly who they are, but that they should be positively embraced for it as well.  No matter what.

If I am half as good a person as I try to be most days, it is because of you.

But for now, Loveland and Trisha, these brownies are for you.

Peanut Butter Cheesecake Swirl Brownies
Servings: 30-36

For Brownies:
- 14 Tbsp unsalted butter (at room temperature)
- 6 oz bittersweet chocolate chips
- 6 oz cream cheese (at room temperature)
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 2 cups sugar
- 6 eggs
- 2 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup flour

For Peanut Butter Swirl
- 8 oz cream cheese (at room temperature)
- 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 6 Tbsp sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Line a 9x13 inch pan with aluminum foil and spray with baking spray.  In a bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt the chocolate chips and butter and stir until smooth.  Take off of the heat and whisk in sugar, cocoa powder, cream cheese, and eggs until smooth.  Whisk in vanilla and salt until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.  Stir in flour until equally distributed.

Pour batter into pan and smooth with a spatula.

To make the peanut butter swirl combine peanut butter, cream cheese, and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.  Beat until creamy (1-2 minutes).  Add vanilla and egg and beat until smooth.

Dot peanut butter swirl all over the brownie batter and with a butter knife swirl up and down as well as back and forth until your desired swirl has been reached.

Bake for 30-33 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.

Let cool completely on a wire rack.

Let chill in the refrigerator at LEAST one hour before slicing for the best presentation and smoothest slice.  Store either wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator or in an air tight container at room temperature with parchment paper between each layer.

Boozy Whiskey Banana Bread

When I mentioned the other week that I've been throwing whiskey into all the baked goods I can get my hands on, I wasn't kidding.

There's been something about it lately that has just kept setting my radar off.  I can't get enough.

Therefore when I had a few bananas on the verge of being inedible sitting on my counter the other week, I knew banana bread was in order.  And there was no question that whiskey was joining the party as well.

This is a throw together kind of bread that can be tweaked in a million different ways.  Although I recommend giving it a try as is.

Smeared with some apple butter, it was basically irresistible.  Truth be told it was pretty stellar as is too.

If you have any leftover you could always turn it into some whiskey banana bread french toast.  Because if that doesn't sound like the best idea ever, really what does?

And don't forget to stop by the blog on Tuesday morning.  We'll be having a big party for one of my favorite (and the most wonderful) places and there will be more than a few surprises on tap.  You'll just have to show up and see!

But for now.  Make the bread.  Throw it together and spread the joy.

Boozy Whiskey Banana Bread
Servings: 1 loaf

- 6 Tbsp unsalted butter (at room temperature)
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 2-3 very ripe bananas (mashed)
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (any kind)
- 1/4 cup whiskey
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup toasted pecans, roughly chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

To toast pecans, spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake 6-8 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until pecans are golden brown.

To make bread, spray a 9x5 inch loaf pan with baking spray.  In a bowl combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.  Whisk.  Set aside.  In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter and sugars until well combined.  Add the bananas and eggs and beat until smooth.  Add milk and whiskey and beat until just combined.  Stir in flour mixture until combined, being sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as you go.

Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until top is brown and cake tester comes out clean.  Let bread cool for 5-10 minutes in pan.  Turn out onto wire rack and cool completely.

Cut in thick slices and serve.

To store wrap tightly in plastic wrap and keep in refrigerator.

Ultimate Green Smoothie

It turns out my old laptop has finally bit the dust.  After four years together I finally had to part ways with my first Macbook.

But. But. But. But.

I knew it was only a matter of time before I invested in a new one for myself. And I'm beyond thrilled.  It has features I don't even really understand yet, in the best way possible obviously.  With time.

Really, it's the little things.

Anyway, after being unable to blog for a week or so I found myself with a recipe for the ultimate green smoothie as well as one for whisky banana bread.

And no willpower to pick between the two.

So, I did what any self-respecting 22 year old would do in that situation.....

I called my Gram and asked which one I should post.

Things also discussed: whether or not we'll be taking a few irish car bombs together this summer.  (I'll leave the results of that conversation for another time.)

But yea, these smoothies.

This is going to be one of those times when you just have to trust me.

Channel all the feelings you were feeling when you were eating things such as "Fast Break Blondies" and "Jumbo Brownies with Perfect Chocolate Frosting" and take a leap of faith with me.

I guarantee you won't believe it if you do.

If I could mail each and every one of you one of these to try, believe me I would.

They are incredible.  They taste just like an orange and pineapple juice smoothie, with more nutrition in them than anything else I've yet seen.  As for the green color, I have tried a number of different techniques to get people beyond it to take that first sip.  Because once you do, there will be no going back.

I really can't stress this enough.  Smoothies are never my first choice of food and I'm having a hard time not getting up and going to make one for myself right now.  I'm no health nut, but I just can't get enough.  They are that good.

So if you even think you'd have an inkling to try these, go out on a limb and do it.  I did.  You can switch the fruit up as you see fit, but honestly I found them perfect just as they are.  These will definitely be a staple in my life for a long time to come.

Just trust.  And enjoy.

Seriously, these are so good.

Ultimate Green Smoothie
Serves: 1-2 (depending on the size you want)

- 1/2 banana
- 1/2 cup pineapple
- 1/2 pear
- 3/4 cup orange juice
- 1 1/4 cup baby spinach
- 1 Tbsp honey

Chop banana, pineapple, and pear into small chunks.  Place in a freezer safe container and freezer for a least 1 hr or more.  When ready to make smoothies, take out pieces and make sure they're not stuck together in big chunks (if so separate by chopping into small pieces again).  Blend frozen fruit with orange juice, spinach, and honey in a blender until very well combined.  Really the more combined the better.  Drink immediately and prepare to be wowed.

Things I'm Loving Lately

I'm sorry I've been absent on here the past week.  I was recently visiting down in sunny Florida and when I got home I arrived to see my laptop wasn't working.

After a quick (few) trips to the store, my computer has been sent away for maintenance and I won't have it back until either later this week or the beginning of next.  And until then all my food photos are floating on the limbo of its hard drive.  Not to worry, it'll be back in action with plenty to share very soon.

But in the meantime I didn't want to leave you completely post-less so in no particular order, some of the things I'm loving lately, food related and not.

 1.) Jumping out of airplanes.  Because I did it for the first time in Florida and it changed my life.  Terrifying.  Exhilarating.  Beyond words.  It will not be the last time.

2.) Red Velvet Pancakes

The idea didn't sound out of this world to me and truth be told I ordered them on a whim at  3 Oaks Cafe in Clearwater Florida.  And let me tell you, I was blown away.  Three light and delicate red velvet pancakes doused in cream cheese vanilla icing and powdered sugar, they were absolutely out of this world.  If you're down in that area a must try. A must try.

3.) These brownies.  Even though I haven't made them yet.  I can't stop thinking about them.

4.) Putting whiskey in all of the baked goods I possibly can.  (No one is complaining yet)

5.) All things sunny and warm and Florida and vacation time

Because let's be honest, getting back into the swing of things is hard.

6.) Pushing the limits of when I can wear flip flops and dresses in the weather at home.  We're getting there.

7.)  And this girl

but sincerely, that one's nothing new. :)

I promise I'll be back very soon with many more treats to share.  Let's hope this is the last time my laptop goes MIA for awhile.

Until then! xoxo

Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies

I have a really hard time sitting on recipes.

As in I can't do it.

Like at all.

The minute I make something that I think is out of this world I immediately want to share it and get it out there for all of you.  Normally this is far from a problem.

Except for the weeks when maybe I make one or two treats that are great and only get around to posting one.

That's when we fall into some trouble.

I'm talking Chocolate Bundt Cake from May 2011 that's been sitting on my desktop patiently waiting to be posted ever since trouble.

Yea.  About that.

I will promise to find a spot for the lonely bundt cake around these parts soon, if you promise to forgive me for shoving these lovely little cookies at you instead.  I think you'll be inclined to do just that though.

They're kind of incredible.

A light and airy cookie that basically bursts with citrus flavor; they're slightly crisp on the edges giving way to a chewy center all the while studded with poppy seeds, both within and sprinkled on top.

The kind of cookies that make you want summer to get here as soon as possible, while also making the remaining weeks of winter just a little bit brighter.  My kind of cookies to say the least.

Now here's the thing.  In the directions it says to roll the cookie dough into a mixture of sugar and lemon zest.  Which is absolutely awesome. Except for the fact my dough was WAY too soft to roll.  It just wasn't happening.

But I improvised and came up with a pretty fun way to whip them up instead.  It's really not hard at all, it just benefits from some pictures as a guide.

So I figured I'd walk you though it.

Bear with me.

Using a small scoop with a release mechanism, scoop out some dough.  It's easy to go overboard.  Less is more.  You'll get in a rhythm as you go.

Plop it in your sugar/lemon mixture.  Without touching the doughball, scoop the sugar/lemon mixture over the dough until it completely covers the doughball.

See the dough is so soft, if you tried to shape it by hand you'd end up with a big sticky mess, but the sugar/lemon mixture acts as a kind of shield (a delicate shield but a shield nonetheless) and helps you to shape the cookies.

Gently toss the doughball between your two hands to remove excess sugar.  Gently.

Place the doughball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicon mat. (If you're planning to bake the cookies immediately space the balls at least 2 in apart.  If you want to flash freeze the dough they only need to be about 1 inch apart - full instructions below for either method)

Gently press down on the cookie with the bottom of a glass to flatten them slightly or until they are approximately 1/4 inch thick.  Gentle is the name of the game here.  This cookie dough is soft and benefits from a light hand.

Doughballs before and after pressing down.  Flattening them makes them uniform and shape and size and also helps while they are cooking so the edges don't burn before the centers bake.

If I can do it, you can do it.  Most definitely.

Then either sprinkle some poppy seeds on top and bake or flash freeze them for later.  And enjoy some of the best cookies I've churned out in awhile.

I hope the step-by-step on shaping helped at least somewhat if you do try these cookies out.  If that's the case, I'll try to include them on here more frequently.  And if it didn't help out at all, I hope you're only a little more worse for wear.

I'm off to sunny Florida tomorrow to soak up some real sunshine, but for right now, these cookies are more than enough.

Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies
Servings: 2-3 dozen cookies

- juice of 2 lemons (approx 1/4 cup)
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- zest from two lemons
- 1 Tbsp poppy seeds (plus more for sprinkling)

If baking immediately, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Bring the lemon juice to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat.  Add 1 stick of butter and stir until melted.  In a medium bowl, whisk together flour baking powder and salt.  Set aside.  In the bowl of an electric mixer beat remaining stick of butter and 1 cup of the sugar until creamy and light (about 2 minutes).  Add egg and reserved lemon butter and beat until pale (about 2-3 minutes).  Mix in the vanilla and 2 tsp of the lemon zest.  Reduce speed to low and mix in flour mixture and poppy seeds.

In a small bowl stir together remaining 1/2 cup sugar and remaining lemon zest until well combined.  Using a small dough scoop with a release mechanism, scoop out approx 1 Tbsp size doughballs one at a time.  Place each doughball into the lemon/sugar mixture and cover with lemon/sugar mixture without touching the doughball itself.

Gently toss the doughball between your hands, while they are close together to remove excess sugar.  Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicon mat (spaced 2 inches apart if baking immediately or 1 inch apart if flash freezing).  Press each doughball down lightly with the bottom of a flat glass until approx 1/4 inch thick.

If baking immediately sprinkle with poppy seeds and bake for 9-11 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through or until the cookies are lightly golden brown on the edges and seem mostly set in the centers.  (Mine were done at 9 minutes).  Cool completely on baking sheets on a wire rack and store in an air-tight container at room temperature.

If flash freezing, place tray(s) of cookies into the freezer for 20-30 minutes (or until the cookies have firmed up considerably.  Transfer to an airtight container and store in the freezer until ready to bake.  When ready to bake, pre-heat oven and take out as many cookies as you'd like to make.  Line on baking sheets and sprinkle with poppy seeds and allow to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.  Bake as directed, adding a minute or so to the baking time if the edges are not golden by the 11 minute mark.

Cookies will last in the freezer for at least a month.  I have not tested longer.  (Mine never last that long)

Academy Awards 2014: Lupita Nyong'o keeps it personal in Prada

What I'm loving about the Oscars so far is the individual style statements -- Pharrell Williams in shorts and Lupita Nyong'o in what she calling Nairobi blue.

"This is Prada and it was made for me. It's a blue that reminds me of Nairobi and I wanted to have a little bit of home," Nyong'o told Ryan Seacrest.

The gown is sweet and striking with the kind of plunging neckline I wish Amy Adams was wearing.

More Oscar fashion galleries: Best and worst dressed | Stars on the red carpet | Makeup and hair | Men's fashion

Nyong'o is also decked out in some exceptional Fred Leighton jewelry, especially that chic, chic, chic diamond-and-gold headband. (If there is such a thing as a hair accessories trade association, its members should send her a room full of flowers.) She also chose a yellow gold frog ring, which she explained to Seacrest is "her family totem."

The "12 Years a Slave" actress looks like the awards season darling that she is. What a perfect choice.

Ultimate Guide: Summer Weekend Wear

     Here we are at McLovin to help kick start your summer wardrobe, that is, if it’s something you’ve been procrastinating... still? Time to get on board, guys! Summer is here and if you’re doing anything on the weekends you’ll probably want to do it in style. I promise that the eight items below will be the foundation for your weekend style this year’s summer and next. 1 pair of shorts, 1 pair of blue jeans, 1 pair of off-white jeans, and 1 pair of greypants. And for the top: 1 plain white t-shirt, 1 teal-green raglan sleeve tee, 1 navy and white striped pullover, and 1 colored splashed navy tee.

     It’s important that you have some basic pieces that are neither boring nor ill-fitting, and we're ready to equip you. 4 tops and 4 bottoms that fit handsomely and will all match great with each other; you have 16 polished and comfortable new outfits for every weekend day this summer. Most of these looks will even roll over into the fall with you, that’s smart styling.

First up is the white v-neck (Bread and Boxers, $28). Fits perfectly true to size; size down one for a slim and sexy athletic fit. Hands down the most comfy t-shirt I’ve ever worn; mostly made from organic cotton with just a touch of elastane to give you a crazy soft and moveable tee. Wear it snug with the sleeves cuffed and the Mavi blue jeans, James Dean would, it’s classic. Throw on this tee and the Descendant of Thieves grey pants (like we did) for a more contemporary look; the grey trouser with a jogger silhouette brings a fresh, ultra-cool relaxed look. This shirt above the off-white Mavi jeans is definitely a combination you have to try this summer! The creamy colored jeans with the sharp white shirt is a clean ensemble for a tidy man (just take small bites at lunch and watch were you sit yourself). Trust me, you won’t find easier fashion forward accoutrements out there.

Grey pant (Run&Gun slim straight fit by Descendant of Thieves, $119), these are a weightless mix of nylon and spandex (97%, 3%). Feels like wearing no pants at all, c’mon guys, do you really love wearing pants? Or would you rather not? These pants will be your new go to if you need something stylish to throw on when you really feel like hanging out on the couch in your shorts. Waistband tabs allow 2 sizes of wiggle room. Shirt-lock button holes in the fly of the pant so your shirt tuck stays that way if and when you dress these pants up. 9 pockets, including the brand’s signature “Don’t tell Mom” hidden pocket inside the pant. Modern fit with quiet details, a trouser with the silhouette and comfortability of joggers. What’s more? These are limited edition (1 of 115); be unique, always.

The green raglan (Descendant of Thieves, $49): as they do, the brand created 220 of this limited edition top, we know you’re unique enough to have one of them, but are you fast enough to get yours before they sell out? Fabricated of 60% tencel the color of this shirt will always be as bright as the day you purchase it. If you’re not familiar with tencel, the fiber is a form of rayon developed from dissolving bleached wood pulp that is jet spun. The shirt appears to be thick and weighted, however tencel is naturally breathable as well as twice as absorbent as plain cotton; this tee is also spun with rayon and few threads of spandex. My favorite combination here is with the off-white Mavi’s. There’s something about the brightness of the pant that makes the teal top all the more vibrant; it really feels like a summer afternoon.

Don’t let white pants scare you. I’ve found that wearing white makes me more aware of some messy habits, besides, these are casually off-white anyway (Jake by Mavi, slim leg, $98). You guessed it: crazy-soft and moveable Turkish cotton with a few threads of elastane—thank you Mavi! Go chic and be instantly ahead of any trend by matching these slightly distressed jeans with the white v-neck tee; current trends have this color pant with dark or colored tops… go beyond if you’re feeling bold.

Next we have the navy and white striped pullover (Theory, $225). Must, must, must for a night out this summer. I know, it’s technically a sweater… but trust that it is light enough being a viscose-poly blend that the white stripes are nearly see-through. Go beach ready with this nautical style jumper and the tan Mavi shorts and a good-looking boat shoe. Navy always pairs classically with grey.

Styled here with tan twill shorts (Jacob by Mavi, $78); these are and will be a summer staple for years to come. Turkish cotton and elastane, Mavi gives you a forgiving, comfortable, yet sturdy pair of shorts that work with everything already in your wardrobe.

The galaxy inspired design on this shirt is perfect for a toasty summer night (French Connection, $48). 100% pure cotton, stylish, comfy, and breathable. A cool shirt that’s fun to wear any day with jeans and some sneakers.

The light wash blue jeans are thinner and less weighty than a traditional pair of denim jeans; your legs will be thanking you as the days heat up and get longer. The perfect summer jeans (Zach by Mavi, $98, straight leg). True to the brand, Mavi made these jeans with Turkish cotton and a small percentage (2.5%) of elastane. These are a staple denim, classic wash, with simple pocket stitching detail.

Summer Thievery

044CB3F1-E7CD-408C-9952-3CEBFF0FBC87 (1).jpg

3 Reasons You Should Wear the Reversible (Party) Short

Designed by Dres Ladro

Dres Ladro is nobody’s fool. The ever incog mastermind behind the Descendant of Thieves brand has created our favorite summer piece: the “Walk of Shame/Fame Short.” These shorts are edgy enough to make people look below your belt and drool (because they are irresistibly stylish, of course). Still, they’re tame enough for you to wear at that work BBQ this summer without any of your stuffy coworkers knowing what’s hiding on the other side of your shorts. Show it off or reign it in. Discretion is yours if you choose to exercise that power.

Reason #1... Versatility

To be drawn to this short means you are a changeable and temperamental creature; not unlike the alpha of a wolf pack. You are an unbridled leader with fire on the inside that intrigues others (it’s your confidence they sense). And when your wild side is out the rest of the pack will either steer clear—there’s no competing with you—or do their best to impress such a courageous leader. If you’re in-between moods…that’s what cuffing is for.

Reason #2... Two-for-One

Double the pleasure with 2 shorts…obviously. You’re investing in two pairs of shorts for the price of one. Both your dressing arsenal and bank account will thank you.

Reason #3... The B-Plan

Out for a meal and savage takes over? Grr! Whoops! We’re all guilty of being clumsy gluttons. Excuse yourself to the restroom to flip your bottoms inside out before anyone sees whatever morsel fell onto your lap (STYLE TIP: wipe away any carnage prior to reversing).
There is a reason D.O.T. labeled these the “Walk of Shame/Fame Short.” We’ve all stayed out past our bedtime and unexpectedly spent the night on a buddy’s couch. Maybe you’ve even been lucky enough to land in a bed that doesn’t belong to…for that, these shorts salute you! And they won’t judge your need to wear them the next morning…only your shirt would do that.

Little Dog Promotes Big Smiles

Your life is a series of experiences. Of course, everyone’s experiences are different, even when they go through something similar. At McLovin – a store for men, we recognize this. But despite the different experiences people have in our store, we hope everyone feels the common thread of authenticity.

 Ultimately, retail isn’t about what you’re adding to your wardrobe. It is about how shopping for that piece makes you feel. A lot of people might chalk up how they feel about their purchases to where they’re shopping – an airport terminal, a standalone store or a certain area of town for example. However, it isn’t just our Old Market location that gives us that little something extra. It’s also Pip, our resident dog and the Director of Marketing at McLovin – a store for men.

Image by phreshimages.com

Fun For Everyone

Pip is a staple in our store. In fact, his presence is so vital we gave him a title. Offering customers a unique shopping experience alongside a dog is the first step toward giving you the best shopping experience available in Omaha. Pip can be easy to miss. Often downstairs, manning the office, he’ll occasionally poke his nose through the railing, beckoning you with his come hither eyes. Guests can’t help but pet him, snuggle him and occasionally ask his opinion on wardrobe items. Pip may even hop into your lap for some licks, loving on you as though you’re the first person to ever give him attention.

 Of course, Pip isn’t just great with guests. He’s also excellent with the children of guests, running laps with them around the displays, keeping little ones distracted while you relax and enjoy discovering new wardrobe pieces.

Pip is a hot commodity and local celebrity. People come to the store just to visit him!
— Emma, Team Member

The people shopping with us aren’t the only priority at Mclovin – a store for men. It’s everyone in the party. While your group searches for their next look, Pip can keep you distracted with his playful nature and overall enthusiasm regarding your presence - because he is sure glad you came. Our mission is to make sure that everyone that walks through our doors enjoys their experience enough to return, whether it’s to say hello or to expand their wardrobe.

Connecting New Friends

One of the best things about Pip’s presence is that it forges unique bonds with our guests. Pulling out their phones, customers aren’t afraid to show off their own pets and share the story of what makes their dog unique. Thrilled to hear their anecdotes, we always encourage guests to bring their dog the next time they visit our store. After all, your dog is part of your life – family, even. And family should be allowed to participate in your day-to-day activities, shopping experience included. Pip is evidence of that.

 We believe that the love of a dog is the glue that binds our store together. More popular than us, guests often ask if Pip is working during their visit. At McLovin – a store for men, we recognize that giving our customers a reason to smile is more important than selling them clothes. That’s because we don’t want to be your one time stop – we want McLovin – a store for men to be where you come for business or for pleasure. Whether you need a new outfit or just a lick on the face (from Pip, of course) we encourage you to step through our doors and experience our store for yourself.

Wearing Our Feelings

Can’t get enough of Pip? Want to feel that something extra you get when you give Pip a rub of the ears or a quick smile? Purchase our limited edition Pip t-shirt, available now in a variety of colors here or in our brick and mortar store at 1012 Howard Street in the heart of Omaha’s Old Market.

Egyptian Aly El-Shafei wins Innovation Prize for Africa

The sixth edition of the coveted Innovation Prize for Africa (IPA) culminated with a bang as the African Innovation Foundation (AIF) awarded three more African innovators for their incredible innovations. Out of the total of over 2500 applications, 10 nominees were selected, and from these Aly El-Shafei of Egypt emerged as the Grand Prize winner, with Philippa Ngaju Makobore of Uganda landing the Second Prize, and Dougbeh-Chris Nyan of Liberia winning the Special Prize for Social Impact. Each one of the seven remaining nominees also went home with US$ 5 000 vouchers to be used to further develop their innovations.

The main obstacle in increasing electricity generation capacity in Africa continues to be the high cost of producing electricity, which is forcing governments to subsidise consumption. El-Shafei’s innovation, Smart Electro-Mechanical Actuator Journal Integrated Bearing (SEMAJIB), is a world-class solution that supports energy generating turbines and can be used to improve efficiency and reduce costs of generating energy in Africa.

Meanwhile, inadequate medical solutions to efficiently administer drugs or to diagnose diseases continue to affect the quality of healthcare delivery in many parts of the continent. Makobore’s invention, known as Electronically Controlled Gravity Feed Infusion Set (ECGF) and Nyan’s multiple disease rapid detection test, both offer ingenious solutions aimed at raising the quality of healthcare provision in Africa.

AIF collaborated with the Government of Ghana, represented by the Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology, and Innovation (MESTI), Ghana Investment Promotion Center (GIPC) and Ghana@60 Planning Committee to host IPA 2017, which was themed ‘African Innovation: Investing in Prosperity’. H.E. President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the President of Ghana, presided over the prestigious awards ceremony, held at Movenpick Ambassador Hotel, Accra in Ghana.

AIF Founder, Jean-Claude Bastos de Morais, commented, “This edition of IPA has been all about galvanising support for African innovators in order to mobilise increased investments to help them commercialise and scale their innovations at a greater rate. AIF has rewarded IPA 2017 for developing solutions that can truly add value to the lives of Africans, and I believe that these innovations have incredible commercial potential and will succeed in attracting the right investments to go to the next stage.”

IPA 2017 Chairman of the Jury, Nyasse Barthelemy said that the deliberation was tough as the quality of innovations were high. “Each of the innovations, in their own respective ways, were winners as they represented local solutions to local challenges. It came down to the wire but we believe we have awarded the most compelling innovations this year. We look forward to seeing what comes next for the incredible innovations from IPA2017 innovators and wish them the very best”.

The patented innovation, (SEMAJIB), by El-Shafei who walked away with the Grand Prize of US$ 100 000, is a smart bearing that significantly improves turbine performance in single line combined cycle plants as well as conventional generator technology. Patented in the US since 2010 with another patent pending, the device is designed to be used to support energy generating turbines more efficiently and cost effectively in Africa. SEMAJIB is an innovation that does not currently exist in the West, and already Siemens’ has indicated interest in the device. A world class innovation originating from Africa, SEMAJIB reverse Africa’s image as a technology consumer to technology producer. Production of these bearings in Africa will also generate jobs and increased revenue for Africa.

Electronically Controlled Gravity Feed Infusion Set (ECFG) by Philippa, who bagged the Second Prize of US$ 25 000, is designed to accurately administer intravenous (IV) fluids and drugs by controlling the rate of fluid flow based on feedback from a drop sensor. It is easy to operate and has key safety features, which include alarms for the rate of infusion (rapid or slow), total volume (over or under) and faulty sensors. A battery utilising a hybrid (AC mains and solar) charging bed powers the device. IV infusions are critical for both adults and children in various situations. Over 10% of children admitted to East African hospitals need immediate infusion therapy. Findings from the FEAST trial indicates that over-infusion in children increased the absolute risk of death by 3.3 % at 48 hours. Erroneous delivery rates can result in serious adverse effects. The ECGF has the potential to save lives by providing accuracy and safety at 8% the cost of a brand new infusion pump.

Dougbeh, who was awarded the Special Prize for Social Impact of US$25 000, developed a rapid test that can detect and simultaneously differentiate at least three to seven infections at the same time. His diagnostic test is fast and easy to use in any setting and is able to detect and distinguish multiple infections which bear the same symptoms for instance when a patient has yellow fever, malaria, and Ebola. Whereas most testing methods take three to seven days, this device gives test results in ten to forty minutes. Dougbeh is currently working on the second prototype of his innovation after obtaining positive results from his first prototype. The results have been validated with human clinical samples, peer-reviewed and published in several respected scientific journals such as ‘Nature-Scientific Reports’. His innovation has the potential of being a game changer in the continent in the detection and management of infectious diseases for quality patient-care.

Speaking at the Awards ceremony, H.E. President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the President of Ghana, commented, “As Ghana marks 60 years of independence, there is no opportune time than now to reiterate our nation’s commitment towards investing in innovation-led growth and prosperity. Our decision to partner with the African Innovation Foundation (AIF) to host the 2017 edition of the Innovation Prize for Africa is a result of our commitment to support African innovation not just at a national but at a Pan-African level. Platforms such as IPA are vital for building stronger synergies amongst key Science Technology and Innovation influencers and stakeholders in Ghana whilst expanding linkages with international partners to promote STI development capacity building, knowledge transfer and forge new partnerships with regional innovation leaders and expand our nation’s innovation footprint.”

The 2017 awards welcomed hundreds of entries from outstanding innovators. For the first time, IPA nominees include innovators from Democratic Republic of Congo, Liberia and Zimbabwe, and featured a stronger presence of women that in any of the years past. The exceptional quality of entrants, finalists, and winners delighted this year’s judges and made for a thrilling awards celebration night.

IPA has seen tremendous growth in applications and increasing interest from both innovators and innovation enablers over the years. To date, IPA has attracted more than 7 500 innovators from 52 African countries, making it a truly Pan African initiative. IPA 2017 edition witnessed a record number of entries from over 2 500 innovators across 48 African countries. The Foundation has supported past winners and nominees with approximately US$ 1 million to move their innovations forward. Due to exposure generated by IPA, past winners have gone on to secure over US$30 million in investments to grow and scale their businesses.

Reality Rundown: The One Where Rachel Pees on Live Television with her Mic On

7/24/2011 Posted by Mel Got Served , No comments
Big Brother - Week 2

Keith is gone, Porsche remains to annoy, and Jordan won HOH which means another dull week ahead. The big question in the house is what 2 newbies swapped their votes and evicted Keith? We know it was Kalia and Shelly, but the other newbies have no idea and are pissed. Adam swears he said yes to the vets plan, but ultimately cast to evict Porsche; he believes this betrayal to the vet will get him nominated this week. The newbies in no way buy this, putting Adam on the outs and making him sad and now untrustworthy of his partner Dominic. Kalia dodges the interrogation while Shelly sits silently. Rachel comes to see the newbies and makes a snide comment about "Some of us like Porsche," pissing everyone off more. Learn some tact you fake-ginger bitch.

As Shelly encourages Adam to play a solo game, Dominic makes the same move and decides he's going to have to wheel and deal to stay in the game. Let's hope so buddy cause if you go home third in this game I'll be pissed (though I'd be so awesome if for the third year in a row my winner prediction was eliminated week 3). Dom's first move: Golden Key vet, Danielle, who he has a flirty relationship with. Adam instead heads right up to HOH Jordan and his manpiece Jeff to make a deal for his safety, though Jeff isn't sure Adam can be trusted. Dani wants to attempt to pull some strings to keep Dom safe, like trying to sway the veterans to vote to keep Dom in the game if he's nominated. Dominic later tries to make a deal offering loyalty to not nominate Jeff/Jordan next week. Cassi also assures Jeff/Jordan her target is on a different couple (Brenchel). It's veterans torn between which strong newbie they'd rather take out: Cassi or Dominic.

In the Have/Have Not competition, the HGs are shoved into ant suits as pairs and have to collect "food crumbs" on an obstacle course. The competition is a lot of squishing your partner as one rolls on top of the other and getting filthy. It's like last week's milk challenge with less pelvic thrusting. Some crawl, some walk- it's all awkward. Brendon and Rachel end up winning the challenge, so they are Haves with the Golden Key holders and HOH and their partner. Kalia starts freaking out with Lawon crushing her, making a medic come out from the illusive mirrors to help her. You wouldn't believe this, but the house doesn't care! After the freakout, Rachel/Brendon get to choose which partners are Have Nots so pick Adam/Dominic and Cassi/Shelly. Good news is America voted that the Have Nots could have beef jerky and jellybeans all week. Fuck, I'd be a Have Not this week for those treats.

Long story short, Jordan nominates the duo of Adam and Dominic for elimination. Looks like the Mel Got Served winner curse could strike for a third season in a row. It's bittersweet!

Did I mention Brendon dresses as a superhero and is best friends with a toy turtle that he named Franklin?

With nominations announced, Dominic feels betrated by Adam, thinking he made a deal to save himself. Rachel is pissed about the nominations because she feels Cassi, not Dominic, should be the target and that Jordan made a crappy decision. Adam tries to soothe things over with Dom, then heads up to the HOH and gets told by Jordan to throw the veto competition. Adam, being the fucking follower that he is, agrees to do it cause she's the HOH. Seriously dude? Only you can control your fate here and throwing comps doesn't help.

Rachel and Porsche talk shit on Cassi, saying she pretends to be the victim (lie), is a bad player (lie), and all sorts of other bullsheeeeit. Rachel has this Cassi obsession since Cassi supposedly said something to Porsche and it's such annoying high school shit with her. Rachel isn't the only one who wants Cassi out: Dani confides to Dominic that she also tried to get Cassi on the block but Rachel's big mouth blew it. Dani wants Dominic to trust her and align together, and I think he's down with the idea and the flirting too. Dani doesn't hate Cassi like Rachel does, but if it helps her work with Dominic, she's all for it. Jordan (and Jeff) don't appreciate the Brenchel bullying to get Cassi out and are fed up with Rachel's constant gametalk and jealousy.

In a "Seriously this show has to be fucking rigged" moment, the random duo to play in the Veto competition along with Jeff/Jordan and Dominic/Adam are Brendon and Rachel. Adam still plans to throw it, but Dominic isn't ready to leave yet and actually plans to try to which I say THANK YOU! Stop throwing comps you waste of space noobs. Before the competition, Brenchel talk in the storage room about winning the veto and saving Dominic/Adam to get rid of Cassi. Dani loves the idea, but worries it'll really piss JeJo off.

The competition itself is to cross a balance beam and stick chewed gum onto a canvas to form a veto symbol; fall off the beam and you lose, unless you accept 2 weeks of slop to keep playing. Dominic is lucky because it's an individual event, not duos, so no screwing over your partner this week. Surprisingly, the dumbass that is Rachel can walk and chew gum at the same time. Jordan is first to fall and almost takes the slop before Jeff tells her to stop because it's not worth it since she'd lose anyways. Rachel is pissed and makes a snide comment, "If the HOH isn't playing then maybe we shouldn't be." Jeff is pissed. Rachel falls down and takes the 2 weeks of slop "cause I need to be on a diet anyways." Jeff points out again there's no point to take the slop if you didn't stand a chance to win the veto. The Mel Got Served winner prediction as 3rd eliminee curse is broken when Dominic wins the Power of Veto! Yay for him, yay for me!

Rachel and Brendon get into another fight because of her sassy, shithead remarks about the HOH not competiting. She is like a child in this game and I am so sick of her annoying antics to get airtime. The newbies love this fight between Brenchel and Jeff because it's some cracks in a tight alliance. Rachel then fake cries in a shrub with Brendon doing his annoying "baby" motivational stuff. God I'd love if Jordan backdoored Rachel and Brendon, but she wouldn't this early in the game which is a shame. Jeff tells Jordan he's pissed he lost and moreso pissed at Rachel's antics. Jordan explains there's just a week left of tolerating Brenchel, while Jeff tells us in his Diary Room session the thought has crossed his mind (let's call this wishful editing). Either way, they don't want to nominate Cassi and Shelly. Rachel later fake apologizes in the least convincing way. The 5 veterans swear their undying love to each other or whatever.

Cassi and Shelly visit Jordan in the HOH room to explain she could really change up the game and spare their nomination to take out some real competitors (Brenchel). Jordan is torn between doing what is best for her or her alliance. Wishful editing has Jeff supporting the idea of nominating Brenchel and getting one of them out of the game, but it's Cassi and Shelly that are named the replacement nominees after Dominic saves himself and Adam from the block.

Shelly is sad that it's very likely her "best friend" Cassi is going home this week. You know, the "best friend" who you couldn't even align with week 1 or have the balls to tell the truth to. They mourn and cry together, but Cassi doesn't want to campaign against oh so lovable liar Shelly. Then Jordan's upstairs in the HOH crying, feeling guilty for nominating someone's mom. Shelly's crying over her kid, hoping she understands the show and I don't know. STFU, Shelly. If Shelly stayed with the noobs week 1, this wouldn't have happened as poorly.

Cassi pulls Rachel into the Have Not room to see what her beef is. Rachel claims it's because Cassi doesn't like Porsche, that she wanted the power couples out, and that Cassi is a liar and bad game player. Cassi tells Rachel she is catty, an ugly person on the inside, and now understands why America hates her. Y-E-S. Rachel immediately fake cries to Jordan and it's sooo horrible to watch her attempt to get out some crocodile tears. Jordan keeps it real and tells Rachel that some of the stuff she says does come off bitchy. Jordan explains she needs to calm it down because she's putting a target on them all. Brendon the almighty doesn't like anyone messing with his fiance or Cassi swearing on the bible that she's not a liar. He's such a fucking prick. Cassi just wanted to make peace but instead these 2 asshole get one of the few tolerable people in this house eliminated.

Time filler includes Julie Chen interviewing HOH Jordan in her safari dress, Adam's girlfriend calling him a "master of Big Brother," and Dominic's girl BFF saying he's not into Daniele romantically.

The votes are cast and in a unanimous vote, Cassi is evicted from Big Brother 13. Boo! Thankfully for Cassi, it's pretty obvious that the first few HGs evicted are going into sequester and may return to the game. With the edit she got tonight of standing up to the shitheads that are Brenchel, my vote goes to her for sure. Rachel's goodbye message is in fact catty and bitchy, so we all knew that was coming, but what we didn't see coming was that Big Brother would forget to turn off Rachel's mic when she peed so yes we heard Rachel urinating on live television.

The HOH competition is about to begin, BUT FIRST, a cameo of the Zingbot in the audience with a "Comic-Con or Bust" sign. I love you Zingbot! The competition is to correctly answer questions posed to the viewers of Big Brother on CBS.com. These are less real questions and more impressions of the HGs, like "Which houseguest would you rather get mouth to mouth from?" (it is easily Jeff over disgusting, chauvinist Brendon). In the worst news of my entire life, Rachel wins HOH again. Fuck this season.

The Voice-Controlled, Semi-Sentient, Pleasure Palace of a Living Room
Illustration by TW Detwiler

Think of a living room as a control center — the spot where you plan your day, lounge, chat, throw parties, watch movies, and embrace the evening. There's a lot going on here, which is exactly why the room deserves your attention. That's not to say you need to start fussing over the feng shui or buy a pair of $10,000 couches. Your room needs to be smarter than that. Here's how to have the living room of your dreams, one that is comfortable, automated, and bordering on sentient.

    I was intruiged by the reviews (good and not-so-good) about this place and as someone who LOVES a good burger, I had to find out myself. It is, indeed, a very small place - 10 stools, 5 small tables. A vest-pocket diner sort of place. I ordered the swiss

    I ordered a turkey burger deluxe and I was very disappointed. The turkey burger was spongy and had no flavor. The fries were skinny, soggy, and tasteless. For $9.00, I expected much, much more. In addition, the decor of the "restaurant" was kind of drab a

A state appeals court rejected a bid for a shorter prison term for a Monterey County robber who argued his crime was, well, kind of goofy.

Octavio Hernandez, 20, of Salinas challenged Superior Court Judge Pamela L. Butler’s decision to sentence him to the five-year “upper” term for an April 2011 robbery of a medical marijuana delivery man in Salinas.

Hernandez’s bid for a shorter term hinged on two aspects of the crime. He claimed he used a fake handgun in the robbery, and the crime wasn’t sophisticated because he was easily caught since the marijuana distributor had his photo identification and other personal information.

But a three-judge panel of the 6th District Court of Appeal, in a ruling issued this week, rejected Hernandez’s contention that the trial court abused its discretion in finding the robbery warranted the upper prison term.

Hernandez pleaded no contest to robbery in December 2011 in a plea deal in which a firearm-use allegation was dropped.

On April 14, 2011, he had made arrangements for a medical marijuana delivery man to meet him in a Safeway parking lot in Salinas. The delivery man had about $1,000 in cash and 1½ pounds of marijuana.

As the delivery man began weighing the order, he looked up and saw a silver handgun in his face.

Hernandez told the man, “I am not playing around.” Then he took the money, marijuana and other items, told the delivery man not to tell anyone and got in a waiting car.

Hernandez was subsequently identified through customer records maintained by Sweet Leaf Caregivers, a medical marijuana distributor that delivers to customers in Monterey and Santa Cruz counties.

After the plea deal, the prosecution asked for the upper term on the robbery count, while the defense sought a lower term, arguing Hernandez never meant to hurt anyone and had used a fake gun.

The defense argued the crime didn’t involve careful planning or sophistication — other aggravating circumstances — and “actually was a very dumb and stupid plan.”

The appeals court said Hernandez’s claim he used a fake gun didn’t detract from his threats to the delivery man.

As for the foolish nature of the crime, the appeals court said, “Even though defendant’s plan may not have been very well thought-out with respect to concealing his identity, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in finding that the crime involved planning.”

A representative of Sweet Leaf Caregivers said he was glad Hernandez is “sitting up there for five years.”

“The damage it did to our driver, whether the gun was plastic or not, was real. It scared him crapless. He quit a few weeks later and had serious nervous problems,” said the Sweet Leaf managing director, who gave only his first name as Paul.

Sweet Leaf quit making deliveries in Salinas because of the robbery, he said. They reported the crime to police, their standard practice, Paul said.

“When these guys rob us, they think it’s marijuana and we aren’t going to call police — but we do,” he said.

JOB FOR A COWBOY announce Danny Walker as studio drummer for new album

- November 5th, 2013 –

Job for a Cowboy are currently writing their fourth full length album, and the follow up to 2012′s “Demonocracy” album. Last week, it was revealed that the band would be moving forward without long time drummer Jon “Charn” Rice.

Rice personally explained the circumstances surrounding his departure:
“As of this past August, I have decided to part ways with Job for a Cowboy. There are a few reasons for this, none of which I’m going to get into. That being said, I have no intentions of stopping touring or playing. I honestly love to tour and play live with new people, so I look forward to playing in new musical arenas in the future. The dudes and I are on very good terms with this and they understand the decision. They have a new record in the making and I’m extremely excited to hear it.

Thanks again to everyone.”

With a new album in the process of being written and scheduled to be recorded with Jason Suecof this winter, Job for a Cowboy have enlisted the immensely capable drumming talents of Danny Walker to fill in as the studio drummer. Walker is known for his work in Intronaut, as well as having performed with Exhumed, Jesu, Phobia, Murder Construct, and more.

Danny Walker comments on being a part of the new Job for a Cowboy album: “I’m thrilled to be working with these guys on this record! I look forward to challenging myself and contributing to a fresh and different outlet!”

Job for a Cowboy bassist Nick Schendzielos has offered the following update:
“Well my friends the time has come and The Charn has officially decided to step off the JFAC train. Absolutely no hahd feelins or nothin! We love the dude, cherish the memories we made with him, and in all likelihood will be seeing him again very soon…which brings up the next awesome piece of news…

“Our phenomenally talented friend Danny Walker is going to grace our next full length with his decidedly delicious drum tracks! We are seriously excited to hear what it’s going to turn out like- let the anticipation build!”

In the mean time there’s some killer extra-curricular content to keep you all satiated:
-Tony is busting out new play-throughs from some tasty songs off Demonocracy that you can check out on his page Tony Sannicandro’s The Leads are Weak
-Here is a promo shot for Nick Schendzielos’s new video! Matthewknowsphotos and LANDON MEIER, whose work you will definitely come to know and be blown away by are contributing, so needless to say things will be “stepped up”.
-And finally, if you’re in L.A. this weekend (Nov. 9-10th), on Sunday Nick is doing a clinic alongside Evan Brewer for the annual “Bass Player Live!”- event -

This year the Bass Player LIVE! concert will feature an all-star band of rock luminaries performing with and honoring Black Sabbath’s Geezer Butler, including: Lee Rocker (Stray Cats), Billy Sheehan (The Winery Dogs, David Lee Roth), Blasko (Ozzy Osbourne), Buzz Campbell (Lee Rocker), Charlie Benante (Anthrax), Corey Taylor (Stone Sour, Slipknot), David Ellefson (Megadeth), Frank Bello (Anthrax), JD Deservio (Black Label Society), dUg Pinnick (King’s X, Tres Mts.), Kerry King (Slayer), Rex Brown (Kill Devil Hill, Pantera), Rudy Sarzo (Blue Oyster Cult), Tal Wilkenfeld, Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society), and more. Doors for The Fonda Theatre open at 6:30 PM on Saturday, November 9 and the concert begins at 7:30 PM.

Job for a Cowboy, whose lineup is rounded out by vocalist Jonny Davy, guitarists Al Glassman and Tony Sannicandro, along with bassist Nick Schendzielos, will be recording their new album within the next few months at Audio Hammer studios with prominent producer Jason Suecof. This will be the band’s fourth consecutive project with Suecof, in addition to Ruination (2009), Gloom (2011), and Demonocracy (2012). More details will be released as they are made available.

The Grey Wizard Lyrics

2. The Grey Wizard (4:17)
The Grey Wizard, Mala Olorin
Who has born in Timeless Halls
From the first race of Iluvatar
Spirit older than the world itself

Humble servant of valar
Lived in gardens of Lorien
Higher being turned to flesh and blood
One of the Five Wizards
Came to help the people of Arda
To raise light over Sauron's might

Mithrandir, one of the august
The Grey Wizard beyond the sea
Chosen to carry his knowledge
For the mortal world so weak
Great shape of the spirit eternal
Fought thousands of years for peace
His way to defeat the darkness
His work, written in history

Gandalf the old wizard
Pilgrim from Undying Lands
Great were his journeys in Arda
Journeys against all evil
Death of Smaug the Dragon
Fellowship of the Ring
Slayer of Moria's demon
True gift from the halls of gods

After the duel in dwarven caves
The Grey Wizard rose again
In a colours of radiant white
Now it's his time to ride
To the final fields of glory

What is the Risk if Trucks in El Paso are Overloaded?

Trucks are subject to regulations regarding how much the truck can weigh and how the truck must be loaded. A commercial motor vehicle can weigh no more than 80,000 pounds and can sometimes be required to weigh less if the bridge formula dictates that a lower limit is appropriate.  If a truck is a tandem axle vehicle, the maximum weight is 34,000 pounds and if the truck is a single axle vehicle, the maximum weight is limited to 20,000 pounds. Overloaded tractor-trailer truck

These weight limits exist for a reason: to reduce the risks of truck crashes caused by a truck carrying too much cargo.

Truckers can often make more money by delivering larger loads, and trucking companies could be more profitable if a trucker was able to transport more cargo. This creates the temptation to overload tractor trailers and other commercial trucks, which can make the trucks much more dangerous to drive.

Regulations are supposed to prevent trucks from being weighed down, but what happens if a trucker or trucking company doesn't follow the rules and a truck does become overloaded? What are the risks?

According to a Large Truck Causation Study published by the Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine, an overloaded truck is especially likely to cause a rollover collision to occur.  The researchers reviewed 239 truck accidents in which the truck rolled over. The researchers discovered that a total of 26 of the rollover accidents could be attributed to problems with the load.

Oversized loads were one of the main load problems leading to truck crashes, but issues also arose when the load was mounted too high or was fastened insecurely.  The researchers found that, whatever the specific load problem was, it could create a major safety risk. In fact, load problems were found to have twice as much of an impact on increasing rollover crashes as the impact the load issues have on increasing the risk of other types of truck crashes.

The incidents of "load-induced rollovers" was found to be a substantial enough concern that the researchers recommended truck drivers become better acquainted with possible impacts of loading cargo on overall vehicle stability.

Truck drivers have to make certain they comply with all rules and regulations regarding loading their truck safely, securing their cargo, and keeping their total truck and cargo weight below maximum allowable weight limits. If a trucker does not load the cargo safely, the truck driver could potentially be held legally responsible for all losses that result from a truck collision due to overloading. Often, the trucking company is also liable for losses, either because of its own negligence or because the trucker employed by the company is considered to be an agent acting on that company's behalf whenever the employee is doing work duties.

Why All It Takes Is 5 Minutes

Sharing is nice

It may come as a shock, but I’m easily distractible.

It’s not something I’m proud of. Especially knowing how much my work depends on writers showing up and keeping up despite the battering hurricane of demands and requests that fly in through every open window.

It can grow dark quickly underneath the pile of debris atop the little flame of a writer’s voice.

To be seen and heard is always a fight.

Yet maybe being seen and heard doesn’t have to be the goal. Maybe sharing what’s been given you that day in the 5 minutes you have to share it, the flame will shine a little more, and the light will reach out into the dark it’s intended to reach.

Burn, little guy. Burn.
Burn, little guy. Burn.

I know from painful experience how selfish and pointless it can seem to spend much time in a private place that brings you and only you such joy. Especially if so many people depend on you. The responsibility and duty of “real life” can sap the love and light right from you and leave you dark and cold.

But if God’s love for us burns white hot, wouldn’t he want us to forget all else but the true “real life?”

That’s the premise of the novel I’ve been writing over 10 years about a young man who sells his soul for a chance to change his past. It’s been growing in me and growing with me for ages, waiting as I figured out what to do with it and how to write it. It’s grown and shaped me unlike any book ever has, and it’s still not done. But I’m going ahead and opening up about my process now because I can’t wait to share some of the jaw-dropping lessons it’s taught me as I’ve strived to show up between school, raising 2 kids and full-time editing books for publishers.

Jaw-dropping, I tell you!
Jaw-dropping, I tell you!

Some days it’s felt so pointless. But 5 minutes a day adds up. I wouldn’t have thought it possible to write a book this way. And maybe it isn’t–no one said it was good–but for years now, I’ve gotten up and for 5 minutes (which sometimes turned to 10 and 15), I’ve forgotten everything else and reveled in my dream world. It’s changed me, and it’s continuing to as I pull the disparate pieces together and learn to slowly fight back against the crush of too-great demands and urgent life, giving it the best I have, which often isn’t enough, but it doesn’t matter.

God is in it.

Unlike anything else, my book has shown God’s love to me. And I know it’s true because it’s been simple even when it could have and should have been mind-numbingly complex. In the end, I’ve believed the premise, that he wants me to forget everything else but that knowledge of his love. And in 5 minutes a day, I’ve found writing a book can teach you plenty about that.

Every day, I’m hopeful for what it’ll reveal next. If you know what I mean, give me a witness….

For the Higher Purpose,

Sharing is nice

6 thoughts on “Why All It Takes Is 5 Minutes”

    1. I’d say they become more important as you advance to longer sessions. Rewards, you know.

  1. I’m never happier than when I’m working on a fiction piece. Just as God has touched and taught you in the world of your own making, He’s healed and grown me through my characters. My love and understanding of Him, and my faith in mankind are developed during my writing time. It’s almost as holy to me as prayer, because that’s when I hear Him best. Oh, and by the way, I love the concept for your book!

    1. Ha! Yes! It IS like prayer. So true. And couldn’t agree more–never happier than in that world. And thank you–for the comment, but also the kind encouragement. I’m hopeful to finish it very soon!

    1. Just a little reminder for you. ;) Thanks for being one of the long-time readers, my friend.

Why Good Design Of Your Website Is Crucial For Success In Business

We all know that marketing is an integral ingredient in any business success, and websites are the best possible marketing tool.

Business owners who still do not understand the benefits of online presence are the ones who will fall back in the race for success, and these CEOs and directors will soon realize that the Internet is a very useful tool. The advantages of online marketing are numerous, and people all over the world are using the Web to offer their services or to buy or sell certain products. Business has moved into the virtual world, and there is no going back. The age of pen and paper is long gone, and we all have to evolve and accept changes in the best possible way.

Every company that wants to reach broad audience must have a good-looking website, and this fact is equally relevant in any part of the world. Global nature of the Internet is another benefit of this technology, and your site can now transport your message across the planet. Besides the increased reach and the larger customer base, websites can act as a salesperson, offering your services 24/7 and being available at any time of day or night. Customers can come to your site, find what they are looking for and purchase an item or order a service, and everything can be performed hassle-free and in just a few clicks. Efficiency, convenience, and functionality are all important aspects of online presentations, and web developers have a lot of responsibility on their shoulders when they are handed a task to create a business website.

However, not all websites are the same, and special care is needed when you order a new website. First of all, you should be clear about you ideas and preferences, and your site should be in tune with the needs of your business. Different types of companies demand different websites, and customizations are a regular part of the development process as well. However, it is important that the company “knows what it wants” from the site, and this makes the task much easier for the developers and web designers.

On the other hand, web design has its “laws and regulations”, and this process can sometimes become overly mathematical and calculated. Different guidelines and techniques are used to create the best possible website, and many analysts are constantly examining the patterns of use of those websites so that developers can have a better understanding of what users focus the most. Knowing how the average user thinks and how he or she will interact with the page is the number one priority for any web designer, but other principles of the composition also need to be incorporated into the creative process.

Users usually want a page that loads fast, and one where the need for scroll is minimal, in combination with logical navigation and intuitive interface, and any company that has a website that satisfies those criteria will attract customers and achieve success in business.
