Federal Vs. State Powers

The Federal Government was never intended to be the presiding lawmakers of the country. The states themselves are to govern their peoples with major guidelines coming from the Feds. The Federal Government is to keep the infrastructure up to date, maintain a military, keep national trade deals in our favor, and stay out of the people’s way. The State Government has the right to pass laws as they see fit for their constituents within their borders, thus if I don’t like the laws in one state I can move to a state whose views better a line with my own. The feds now are trying and succeeding in passing laws that blanket the country without the agreement of the people or states. Like the completely ignorant law barry passed saying he wanted men in women restrooms. Whoever doesn’t see this as a complete abuse of power simply doesn’t know the law. Not to mention putting children in harm’s way. I can’t imagine a single Father saying; yes I want mentally unstable people in the bathroom with my little girl. If they’re anything like me if I see you walk into a little girl’s restroom after my little girl I’m coming in to stomp your ass. Furthermore passing a law for a tiny percentage of the population is completely against what America stands for. We as a Republic are supposed to be focused on the greater good and letting perverts into women’s restrooms clearly isn’t what’s best for the public. This shouldn’t even be on the president’s plate. Now if that segregation of the public all wanted to move to let’s say Utah and pass a state law saying they can go into a women’s washroom so be it, but then I’m taking my family to a state I agree with.

Our clients understand that we are 100% accountable for comprehensive knowledge and deep experience within our technical domain.

Our general modus operandi is one of empowerment: if it’s the right move for the customer, the right move for Ook, and it’s simply the right thing to do, make the decision and make it happen. We like our individual independence, but we love being able to support each other when the need arises.

We work with customers across many different verticals: manufacturing, construction, retail, medical and dental, graphics and architecture, and as such we are well versed in the many intricacies that come with that kind of variety – it keeps things exciting! We also love our tech stack at Ook, and we’re proud to be using best-in-class tools in order to automate work and leverage our time as best as possible. Jamf Pro, Kaseya VSA, Okta, Asana, Slack, Zendesk are but a few of the tools we use and interact with each other on a daily basis. We offer an excellent benefits package, pay for MSP premiums, mobile phone, and reimbursement for vehicle usage.

Simply put, we’re a passionate bunch, proud to be doing great work for our customers, and always seeking to challenge the status quo. We’ve been growing, and it’s time to bring on an individual that will help us through the next stage of our evolution.

The Associate IT Consultant’s role will help support our customers and senior consultants. This is achieved by monitoring, maintaining, supporting, and optimizing all customer network hardware, software, servers, workstations, wireless, etc. You will apply proven communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills to help identify, communicate, and resolve issues in order to maximize the benefit of our customers’ IT investments.

About You

  • Assuming you’ve got the technical chops, we’re primarily interested in a human; someone who relates to and empathizes with others genuinely, and who is naturally curious and driven to finding solutions to occasionally complex people or technical issues.
  • You’re never too proud to be wrong or “above” any task.
  • You’re not afraid of “getting your hands dirty” to occasionally do whatever it takes.
  • You have a keen ability for quickly identifying issues, and assisting in resolving them in a timely manner, all while documenting both issue and solution in our ticketing system; we’re truly nuts about documentation.
  • You possess a clear focus on customer experience, and an understanding of how your actions directly impact their experience is absolutely critical to this role.
  • Although dazzling technical tricks and obscure solutions are definitely cool, a sound troubleshooting methodology coupled with a healthy sense of urgency and respect for people’s time are much more important to us in the long term.
  • You’re definitely not a “platform snob” (e.g. Windows or die!), but rather focussed on the end result of efficient and reliable tech. Some of our customers use Windows, some Macs, many have a mix of the two, so you’re knowledgeable and comfortable supporting either platform.
  • You like getting things done, and the completion of tasks is critical to your (and our) mental health.
  • This role is a work-from-home position, so you must have a quiet and dedicated space in your home, suitable for individual customer support phone calls, conference calls, webinars, etc. Ook will provide you with business-grade network equipment and wireless (Meraki, Ruckus – exactly like we deploy for customers), internet connectivity, a top-notch laptop on the platform of your choice, and a desk phone with a high-quality headset.

  • Generally available between 8am-5pm for remote/on-site support as needed.
  • Although specific hours are mentioned above as examples, this role is really all about flexibility – we’re living the dream, and we want you to as well. Perhaps there’s an urgent issue that requires you on site the next morning, or even an after-hours visit to address a downed network or server. The key is prioritization and de-escalation.
  • After-hours and weekend on-call support should be expected, it’s simply the nature of this business – we’ll make this work with hours in lieu of, etc. – we’re reasonable people! Most of our customers are 9-5ers and rarely ping us outside of business hours however, but if they do we’re proud/happy to be available to them for assistance.
  • Primary focus on phone/remote support during morning hours (8am-12pm), or other tasks and improvement of documentation as needed when the phones are quiet.
  • Regular customer office visits (even when there may not be a pressing issue) to perform any as-required tasks, or simply to learn about their people, processes, business, and IT infrastructure.
  • Create and maintain documentation as it relates to system configurations, topology mapping, processes and procedures, and service records.
  • Interact and negotiate with vendors and contractors to secure products and services.

Job Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent minimum of 3-4 years of professional experience.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills.
  • Valid Class 5 driver’s licence.

  • Advanced troubleshooting skills and adept at utilizing resources and finding solutions.
  • Professional appearance.

Desired Skills and Experience

  • Excellent network skills and experience with a variety of firewalls, VPN, switches, VLANs, wireless, and related services (DNS, DHCP, NAT, etc.).
  • Familiar with scripting languages (PowerShell, bash, Python, etc), or not afraid to dive in.

Trends to Watch for Quick Service Restaurants in 2019

The popularity of Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) and fast casual dining trended upward in 2018 and will continue to increase as Americans increasingly opted for meals that could be eaten at home.

Some leading quick service restaurants reported that drive thru orders accounted for nearly 70 percent of sales in 2018, and the latest statistics indicate that overall, 50 percent of dinner meals were purchased to eat at home last year.

For 2019, business analysts advise those in the industry to look out for these trends that could affect their bottom lines this year.

Digital and Delivery

Many fast casual and quick service restaurants dipped their toe in the digital realm, offering customers ordering options through their websites and mobile applications. Others got into the food delivery game with help from popular services such as Uber Eats, Grubhub, and PostMates.

Sure, only 5 percent of all restaurant orders were made online in 2018 but consider the statistic that mobile devices facilitated nearly 38 percent of all dining experiences last year, and while only 6 percent of total sales were digital in 2017. Analysts predict that could skyrocket to as much as 30 percent by 2025.

When it comes to dining options, what Millennials want is simple: Value. A recent study indicated that while 37 percent of diners overall said they consider value a driving factor in their decision making about food, that number is much higher among Millennials. For 46 percent of those younger Americans, getting a good value is paramount. Industry insiders expect fast casual and quick service restaurants to continue to entice value-driven consumers by beefing up limited-time and special offers.

Recruiting Ruts

Recruiting and retaining quality candidates in the fast casual and quick service restaurant industry has become increasingly difficult. According to the National Restaurant Association, 37 percent of members said they were struggling with recruitment efforts in 2017 – up nearly 15 percent from 2015. The controversy over wages for fast food workers continued in 2018, as 19 states increased their minimum wage.

But increased wages are just one way fast casual and quick service restaurants are luring and retaining quality employees. To help combat the recruitment rut, many of these businesses are offering new and better benefits.

For example, Starbucks recently announced it would offer reimbursement for backup child and adult care, while fast casual chain Noodles & Co. began offering reduced work schedules for expectant mothers. Others offer discounted tickets, bonuses, and college scholarships to help increase demand for jobs in the fast casual and quick service restaurant realm.

More Going Meatless

With more Americans going meatless because of health, environmental, and moral concerns, fast casual and quick service restaurants are following suit. Industry analysts said some eateries have seen a three-fold increase in sales of meatless menu items.

The Impossible Burger, which “bleeds” and sizzles as it cooks, has been a game changer for many fast casual chains and quick service restaurants. White Castle now sells Impossible Burger sliders at all of their locations, and Carl’s Jr. just this month launched a plant-based burger. Even McDonalds is mulling the offering after more than 63,000 people signed a petition imploring the fast food giant to carry a meat-alternative.

The plant-based food industry rakes in more than $3.5 billion dollars a year, and fast casual and quick service restaurants would be wise to buy into its popularity.

About The Company

OrderMatic Corporation develops solutions that enhance the customer transactional experience in new and innovative ways. OrderMatic designs and manufactures drive thru menu boards, branded next generation signage, and drive in products and accessories for quick service restaurants, retail merchants, and sports and entertainment venues.

A Modern Take on Indoor–Outdoor Living

When two Portland executives with three teenage children found a challenging lot in Portland’s Green Hills neighborhood, they weren’t sure it could accommodate their dream for indoor and outdoor living. But they were sold when they viewed Craig Wollen’s 3D rendering of a pen-and-ink sketch of a 4,500-square-foot home.

“Our house flows from one room to the other like a New York loft space,” the owner says. “There’s obvious separation, but the rooms still flow together and feel inclusive.”

ucp 026

Wollen, founder of Turn Design, had the task of designing a modern home emphasizing indoor-outdoor living while accommodating space for the couple, their three teens and two dogs. Their previous Portland Heights home had almost no usable outdoor space, which the family really wanted. The parents also wanted space for easy entertaining for people of all ages, along with that sense of privacy that sometimes goes missing in urban areas.

ucp 082

The homeowners pulled together a collaborative team in Wollen, builder Ed Valik with iBuildPdx and landscape designer Melissa Medeiros with LANDline Design. Valik specializes in building and remodeling modern custom homes and skillfully helps bring the vision of architects and designers to life. He relishes projects challenged by steep or complex sites or difficult access, and makes them with a focus on high-end details, while Medeiros brought 20 years of experience creating compelling, modern Pacific Northwest landscapes that draw the life of the family outdoors. Wollen had spent decades creating branded environments for retail outlets, offices and showrooms while reinventing five Portland homes for himself and his own family. His focus now is on combining mid century-rooted design principles with a modern, simplified approach to interior and exterior spaces.

ucp 074

Wollen utilized the lot’s challenging 30-foot downslope by creating an accessible series of decks leading from the lower level to a large terrace. The backside of the house is south-facing, with a large roof overhang, a plethora of windows and a multipanel sliding door provided by Sierra Pacific Windows (which also supplied all other doors and windows) that opens to a large main deck. From that deck, which is nearly the entire width of the home, Wollen connected two more terraces to create a few gathering spots. Below, concrete bleacher seats accommodate outdoor movie nights in summer, while a 400-square-foot workout studio with sauna and half-bath, a large in-ground hot tub and spa, a fire-pit area, a bocce court, vegetable gardens and more patio areas finish out the property.

ucp 003

“The terraces make the experience of exiting the house more interesting and enjoyable,” Wollen said. “People forget how far down it is, and the inviting pathways and terraces allow you to just enjoy the process of going down to see what’s next.”

Inside, the family wanted some separation between their master suite and the kids’ bedrooms, along with space for everyone to spend time together. The main level, or entry level, has one two-bedroom wing for a guest and for their son, with the other wing for their two daughters. The master suite is on the lower level. The layout gives everyone a chance to have their own space and still be connected to the rest of the house.

ucp 013

Ipe wood screens outside the street-facing windows create some privacy while adding a layer of texture to make the home warm and inviting. The screens continue by the barbecue, which allows people to see out but protects the area from the nearby neighbors. Protech’s indoor/outdoor sound, lighting and blind controls allow the family to customize their experience wherever they are. Visual layering continues in the interior spaces with a mix of stained oak, textured black bricks, warm cedar and various textiles and rugs. All the Carey’s Custom Woodworking cabinets in the living room, kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms are of a custom white oak with gray stain, which also ties visually with the home’s black brick walls.

ucp 028

The home’s cantilevered butterfly roof, the 8-foot post-and-beam grid, and the clerestory windows harken to mid century form, but the other touches keep this home from being an abstract mid century remake.

 “These are fairly modern homes I’m designing, but they are easy to live in and very inviting,” Wollen said. “And that’s what they wanted: modern but comfortable, and appropriate for a large family and for entertaining.”

Unlock the Mysteries of OSHA’s Lockout/Tagout Rule (PART 2 of 2 – Five Common LOTO Mistakes)

By Eric J. Conn and Aaron R. Gelb

For a host of reasons, it is vital for employers to get compliance with OSHA’s standard for the “control of hazardous energy (Lockout/Tagout)” (29 C.F.R. 1910.147) (LOTO) right, but it also happens to be one of the least understood and most often botched set of regulatory requirements in OSHA’s portfolio of standards.

This two-part article lays out:

  • [Part 1]: 5 reasons it is critical for employers to ensure compliance with OSHA’s LOTO Standard; and
  • [Part 2]: 5 common mistakes employers make implementing LOTO requirements.

Part 1 Summary: Five Reasons it is Critical to Get LOTO Right

As we discussed in Part 1 of this two-part article, there are five important OSHA enforcement reasons why it is vital for employers to truly grasp OSHA’s regulatory requirements for lockout/tagout (LOTO) and implement them.

Those 5 reasons are:

  1. Amputation Injuries Create Special Reporting Obligations
  2. LOTO Citations are Low Hanging Fruit for OSHA
  3. OSHA is Actively Pursuing LOTO Violations with a National Emphasis Program
  4. LOTO Violations Qualify for the Severe Violator Enforcement Program
  5. LOTO Violations are Among the Most Used for OSH Act Criminal Prosecutions

For a detailed discussion about those reasons, check out Part 1 of this two-part article.

Part 2: Five Common LOTO Mistakes

This part details the five most common mistakes and misunderstandings associated with OSHA’s regulatory requirements for LOTO.

     1. Confusion about When the LOTO Standard Applies

Normal production operations are not covered by the LOTO standard.  Rather, the requirements of OSHA’s LOTO standard kick in during servicing and/or maintenance, or any production activity that requires an employee to remove or bypass a guard or other safety device, or if an employee is required to place any part of his or her body into an area on a machine or piece of equipment where work is performed upon the material being processed.  Otherwise, the employer is expected to install and maintain appropriate guards that protect employees as required by 1910.212, OSHA’s machine guarding standard.

While the LOTO and machine guarding standards tend to complement each other—one protects employees during normal production operations (guarding), while the other protects employees during servicing or maintenance (LOTO).  Technically, OSHA may not cite the Continue reading

Classical Studies Essay

1561 words - 7 pages

In the third and final instalment of the Oresteia, The Eumenides, Aeschylus makes use of a number of literary techniques in order to heighten the dramatic effect in the play.The most prominent of these techniques is the playwright's strong characterisation throughout the play. This is most evident in the stark contrast he creates between Athena and Apollo in both their roles and their attitude towards the Furies. In the god's first sighting of the Furies, Aeschylus emphasises Apollo's disgust and horror at their appearance, which he refers to as 'obscenities' and describing them as 'grey, ancient children never touched by god, man or beast'. Aeschylus makes no attempt to hide Apollo's ...view middle of the document...

Traditionally, the chorus remained detached from the action of the play, appearing on stage to narrate or commentate the action which was occurring between the other actors with separate roles. In The Eumenides, Aeschylus uses the Furies as both the chorus and the antagonist, which heightens the dramatic effect by emphasising their sheer power and influence as well as their overwhelming terror and fury. "Out of your living marrow I will drain my red libation, out of your veins I suck my food, my raw, brutal cups," they exclaim. This repeats through much of the chorus' dialogue, which appears in the form of the Furies' magical incantations as they sing of their lust for Orestes' blood and capture, further blurring the lines between their role as chorus and the antagonist and, in turn, heightening the dramatic effect in the play.The characterisation of Orestes is also a significant technique used by Aeschylus in the play. His portrayal of Orestes as an eloquent, likeable young man heightens the sympathy the audience feels for him. This encourages them to make a more emotional investment in both the events of the play and the plight of Orestes', in turn emphasising all elements of the play, i.e. the horror and terror of the Furies, Athena's benevolence and Apollo's stalwart protection.Aescyhlus' use of the Pythia to introduce the play serves a number of purposes, all enhancing the action and events of the play. From the doors of the temple of Apollo, the Pythia, the Delphic oracle, presents the prologue in the form of a prayer to establish a solemn tone for what is to follow and to provide the context for Apollo's sanctuary at Delphi being the focal point for the first part of the play. The first part of the prayer provides the historical context for the importance of Delphi as a religious site and a place of prophesy. In chronological order, she honours the gods who have prophesied from the shrine: Mother Earth, Tradition/Themis, the Titaness whose domain is law and custom (foreshadowing important themes in the Eumenides) and was the mother of Athena, who will play an important role in the second half of the play, then, third by lots of destiny, and perhaps third in the generation of the gods, as a portion by Zeus before the Apollo, then Phoebe, another Titaness, generally associated with the moon, whose name connotes not only radiance but purity, and Apollo's grandmother has bestowed upon him her name at birth, Phoebus Apollo, to whom she passed on the mantle of divine seer.. When coming from his native Delos, he landed at Pallas' headlands to make Mt Parnassus and its heights its home, and become the spokesman of Zeus. The note of purification in these names prepares us for the purging of Orestes. Significantly, the position of prophet has been passed on from god to god peacefully, in contrast to the violent curse of the Atreid clan, passing from generation to generation.Aeschylus also manipulates the tone of the play to heighten the dramatic...

IntroductionAccounting provides information that is useful and relevant for interested parities when making decisions regarding the company and its operations. In order to do that effectively, a specific language and subsequent rules have been developed for users of the information. Accounting is a specialized language that describes the financial position of a company. Accounting, a required component of most companies is composed of three main categories; Operating information, financial accounting information, and managerial accounting information.Operating information describes what is needed on a daily basis to conduct business in an organization. It encompasses employee payroll, sales, ...view middle of the document...

The primary purpose of accounting is to help persons make economic decisions. Accounting information provides the basis for making decisions about resource allocation. To be useful, data must be identified, measured, recorded, classified, summarized and communicated to potential users.AudienceFinancial statements are necessary sources of information about companies for a wide variety of users. Those who use financial statement information include company management teams, investors, creditors, governmental oversight agencies and the Internal Revenue Service.The audience of financial statements will vary greatly because of the need and type of company that is involved. For instance a family business may not always need to issue formal financial statements. Without the need to report to others, a family business could probably use very simplistic methods of reporting and cash flow projections. If a family business's associates include outside shareholders and lenders, there may be a need to generate complex financial statements that consists of detailed disclosure remarks.NatureFinancial statements are used by managers, shareholders, banks, creditors, the government and the public to make decisions involving the organization and its operations. Shareholders make decisions based on information about their investment worth and whether they should buy or sell shares. Creditors and Bankers have to know whether an organization has the ability to pay back loans. Managers want to know how the company is doing compared to other companies. Financial statements make this information available to them.Ethical Business decisionsDecision making arises because of the need to choose between alternatives. Careful consideration must be given to all information available at the time because of the long-term consequences that can occur with decision making.. Business decisions and practices have become increasingly complicated through the years. There is diffusion in the responsibility of business decisions and society has become very sensitive to unethical practices in the business world. Negative publicity can hamper the growth of a business, damage relationships with customers and effect profitability of a company.

United States

The restoration of George W Bush

In an era of Donald Trump, Pauline Hanson and the alt-right, it’s easy to forget the uniting power that George W Bush, the 43rd President of the United States, had over the world.

For the duration of his eight years in power, Bush was a near universal symbol of mockery, derision and utter hatred. His incompetence and his dangerous policies were directly responsible for atrocious rates of death and destruction.

He failed to concentrate on September 11 mastermind Osama Bin Laden, instead creating two highly destructive wars, one of which – Iraq – was waged on completely false information, and has led directly to the deaths of at least 500,000 people (one major British study puts the death toll at more than a million). These wars have unsurprisingly contributed to the destabilisation of the Middle East.

The deregulation of the banking industry paved the way for the global recession of 2007 and Bush’s presidency also oversaw huge spikes in unemployment, wealth inequality and racially motivated voter suppression across the US.

Many of his party supporters did their best to walk the delicate tightrope of loyalty with the need to distance themselves, in the hope of purely surviving Bush’s reign themselves.

By the time he had finished his constitutionally maximum two terms, the world felt fatigued, like an old snake wiggling to shed its skin. It was a heaviness created by the blood that had been spilt in the name of US-branded democracy and capitalism.

The election of his successor, Barack Obama, felt like a watershed moment in US politics, that was also felt across the world. It wasn’t just that Obama was from the opposing side of politics, but his entire election campaign was built on the corpse of Bush’s failed financial and foreign policies.

The world felt clean, for a brief moment, like the air feels right after a storm.

Just as little was expected of Bush during his presidency, little was expected of him in retirement. It could be argued that Bush’s finest hour was his decision to fade quietly into the background to allow Obama to fully take ownership of the presidency, a clear path from his generation-defining campaign straight to the Oval Office.

Over the course of Obama’s own eight years in office, the latter of which lacked the shine of his earlier near-utopian promise, Bush all but disappeared from public life. While he took the near constitutionally compulsory plum memoir and speaking tour route, his words failed to spark the usual interest showered on one who had once called the White House home.

But now, the second coming of George W Bush is upon us.

It’s no coincidence that it’s happened at a time of Trump’s America; the increasing terror attacks from Islamic State; the US Republican party’s ongoing war on women, birth control and abortion; the destruction of Syria; the ongoing war in Afghanistan and rising Islamophobia across the world.

Just like the jesters who worked in the court of Henry VIII, the world needs its light relief, to take a moment to relax and forget the horrors that continue to unravel. Who better to provide that than Bush, a leader who, like a circus clown, has the natural charisma to sway attention, without necessarily knowing what for.

Bush has so far performed that role perfectly, much better than he ever did as president.

At Trump’s inauguration in January, Bush’s antics of struggling to wear his clear poncho hit Twitter with delight, a distraction from the horror that was taking place on centre stage. His warm embrace of former First Lady Michelle Obama, a woman whose popularity, integrity and grace are near unprecedented, further earned Bush points with millennials, who may not recall the dots that connect Bush with war, death, inequality and mass job losses.

Suddenly, Bush was ‘funny grandpa’, the man who gave up midway trying to put his poncho on and who cheerily sat and grinned in the audience. He did funny, silly things and he didn’t really seem to mind. Instead of trying to hide from cameras that documented his #ponchofail, Bush smiled and played the fool, with a wink in his eye. Bush comes across as friendly, likeable, and someone you could have a joke with; his personality, post-office, is doing much to help people forget.

In his retirement, Bush swapped pens for paintbrush, creating portraits of world leaders and injured soldiers, using bright colours and playful strokes to highlight their humanity, and his.

Here lies again a lesson from the court of Henry VIII, who first weaponised art as power and propaganda, through the portraits of Hans Holbein. The world-famous full-body-length portrait of the King, his chest puffed out and staring defiantly, created an image of undiluted power. Bush’s art has the opposite intention but uses that same power; his art work acts to soften his reputation, putting aside Bush the President, for Bush the Man.

A few years’ distance from events can create a rosy glow that can distort our thinking, nature’s way of protecting our brains from the trauma of reality.

But herein lies the problem. Bush is indeed different from Trump, but that doesn’t mean he was better. The natural desire to compare apples with apples is understandable, but wrong, because it’s based on the assumption that one is healthier than the other; sometimes, both apples have worms growing in them.

The rehabilitation of George W Bush was not intentional, but a symptom of the power of nostalgia. In recent US polls, Bush’s approval rate has shot up 59%, which is almost double his all-time polling high of 32% when he was in office.

Glossing over Bush’s presidency is part of the post-mortem glow that comes with the forgiveness of time. And while a thorough analysis, away from the heightened emotions and obligations of contemporary times, is warranted, that needs to be separated from the human desire to forgive and forget.

The best thing Bush ever did was leave office. He might be wondering why he didn’t do it sooner.

  1. Yeah probably because Bush was a willing pawn for shadow government, players with obscene amounts of money and influence who will go to any extent to grow their power and dominance over the world’s natural resources.

Milestones, Media and Mud

10,993. That’s our total social following right now. For our 1,000th post I’d thought I would answer the question I get asked all the time, why Pack Config?

As we pass the 2 year mark, I wanted to take it right back to the beginning. It all started while I was monthly training for a 100km endurance hike called Trailwalker. I was part of a 4 man team that bonded together through our pain and, more importantly, our accomplishments. The blog was a place for me to post images of backpacks that I liked, but soon it became much more. I became interested in how the right pack or packing method could help improve my experience in the field, I shared my thoughts and you all listened.

Having trained for over half a year, when the day of Trailwalker finally arrived my friends and I were ready. Well… mentally at least. The days leading up to the event I got ill. Not too much of a big deal, but that and the excitement of competing meant I barely slept on the eve of the challenge. At 0600 hours, the combination of those things meant I could barely eat the traditional English breakfast laid out for us. Not a great start.

One thing that had plagued my training was blisters. I originally had some well broken in Magnum boots, but they were not waterproof (made clear during the training!) so I purchased new boots. Despite picking good boots and wearing 1,000 Mile socks, I don’t think the blistered areas of my feet ever truly heal for about 4 month before (or after) the event.

Another downfall was my knees. From the first training session I had issues. As we increased the distance, it got worse. Knee braces, medication, physio and even an intense stretching routine performed twice a day for months prior were not enough. After reaching the first checkpoint (1 of 10) I knew I was in for a rough ride.

Above photo credit: Aubrey Wade – Original.

It was rough. But mentally I was finishing this thing, so I pushed through the pain. Just before reaching the 5th checkpoint I was on the verge of passing out. The temperature had steadily increased over the day and the heat was getting to me. I’d been drinking plenty of water and electrolyte filled drinks, but despite that, after stopping by the medics tent I was told that I was severly dehydrated and needed to take some time to rehydrate to avoid getting into trouble. I knew that the longer I stopped to recover the harder it would be for me, and the team, to get going again. It was a timed challenge too, we couldn’t take longer than 30 hours to complete the course, and I didn’t want to hold up my team mates.

With the combination of everything I made the decision to pull out. Months of training; the proud support of my wife, family, friends and collegues; the energy spent raising over £2,500 for Oxfam and the Gurkha Welfare Trust (we were in the top 2% of fundraisers); whole days worth of time spend stretching my legs religiously; and at the forefront the support of my team, all made me desperately want to keep going. But in the end I was weak. My body wanted the blissful relief of stopping and I gave it just that. It was probably the most bitter sweet moment of my life.

I watched my friends, my brothers, re-group and walk off into the distance. It turned out that only one of our team finished. They were all worn down by knee issues and blisters, even the finisher had a bad knee for months after. Since that moment I made the decision to avoid being a quitter at all costs.

Above photo credit: Aubrey Wade – Original.

I also realised my packing method was not effective. I focused on being prepared for every eventuality and that meant a heavy pack. I’ve recently re-written the About section of Pack Config to reflect the mindset I had in deciding to take the blog forward. The vision is, and always was, “Improving your pack for the next adventure”. The lessons I learned on Trailwalker shaped this direction and have helped me in so many ways, including with various Pack Config ventures.

With our Facebook and Instagram pages about to reach 1,000 milestones; 10,000 Tumblr followers on the horizon and an overall goal of a 12,000 social following approaching, we’ve got some giveaways coming up. Our team is growing, with contributors now from Poland, Japan, England and of course the United States. We are also working on an exciting relationship between us and Carryology, so stay tuned, we have some great things in store for you all.

Thank you all for joining me in this journey. A lot of you have made it clear how much you like what we’re doing and I appreciate that.

People continue to comment on how useful it is to see other people’s loadouts, so don’t forget to share your own pack, or pack story, with us by either clicking here to read our brief guidelines, or click the link below to get started right away.

While I was researching packs for a 100km endurance hiking challenge, my interest in how we organise our gear gave birth to Pack Config, a place that inspires its readers to improve their own packs.

Preparing for War

After a weekend full of turkey, pumpkin pie and multiple viewings of the “I Love My Ducks” video, I was ready to get back on campus and be a part of the Civil War excitement.  After spending the weekend with my father, an Oregon State graduate, it is nice to be back in a less hostile environment.

It seems like everyone and everything on campus is thankful for “I Love My Ducks.”  Take, for example, the UO Career Center, the Duck Store, and UO Student Services.  I’m sure they’re glad that the video dropped advertising slogans right into their laps.  Check out the ads they published on the back page of the Oregon Daily Emerald today:

The hype is building all over campus as we prepare for the Civil War.  Tomorrow, free “Beat OSU” t-shirts are being distributed.  ESPN will be here on Thursday (and hoping that, by the grace of God and the power of Twitter, I get to meet Chris Fowler).  By Friday, well, I don’t want to jinx anything, but I hope to be preparing for a Christmas break trip to Pasadena.

But whether or not we win, we still love our Ducks.

Grandma Bessie’s Homemade Bread

What to do on a cold winter day?  Crank up the oven and bake bread, I say!

Grandma and Bill at 4 years old

Not only does it put a little heat in the kitchen, the aroma of homemade bread baking in the oven is out of this world!  There is nothing else quite like it!

This great recipe belonged to Bill’s grandmother, Bessie.  Bill remembers like it was yesterday walking up to the back door at Grandma’s house and having the smell of fresh baked bread greet him before he even opened the door.  He knew that very shortly he would be eating a slice of her bread slathered with creamy butter!

This recipe makes 4 loaves of bread and it freezes well, if you wish to.  Nothing says comfort like the aroma of homemade bread wafting from the oven.  Happy Bread Baking!

After punch down
After 2nd rising
Voila! Baked!

Ummmm!!!  Wish I could give you a slice!!!

Bessie’s 4 Loaves Homemade Bread

3 packets dry granular yeast (I used the rapid kind)
2 cups warm water
2 cups scalded milk
7 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons salt
¼ cup shortening
About 11 cups flour
3-4 tablespoons butter, melted

Dissolve yeast in warm water.

(Using an instant-read thermometer, pour water into measuring cup and when water reaches 110 degrees, add yeast.  Let yeast stand in water for 5 minutes, then stir.)

Add sugar, salt and shortening to scalded milk and cool to lukewarm.

(Pour milk into saucepan, heat to just below the boiling point; do not boil.  Bubbles will form around the edge of the pan.)

Combine the milk mixture with the dissolved yeast.

Add 6 cups of flour and beat until smooth.  I use a KitchenAid mixer with a dough hook.

Add enough more flour to make dough easy to handle.

(It may not require all 11 cups.  Now, spread flour on work surface, grease hands and turn dough out on work surface).

Knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.

(Use a little more flour as dough becomes sticky.  Have dough in a ball, flatten dough and pull it to you.  Push away with heel of hands in a rolling motion.  Rotate dough a quarter turn and repeat the “fold, push and turn” steps.  It will be completed when it is smooth and elastic and when you poke the dough, it will spring back.)

Round up and place dough in a greased bowl.  Grease top of dough, cover bowl with a plate set in a warm place about 85 degrees.  Allow dough to rise until double in bulk from 1 to 1 ½ hours.

(I turned oven on low heat and set the bowl on the stove, covered it with a plate and a towel.  I have an electric range; if you have a gas range, set it inside the oven as the pilot light should be warm enough.)

Punch down with your fist and let rest for 10 minutes then shape into 4 loaves and place in greased bread pans.  Brush with melted butter and cover with a towel, let rise again until double about 45 minutes.

Bake the bread in a hot oven 425 degrees about 40 minutes or until bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom of the pan.  Remove from pans at once and cool on a rack away from drafts.  For crisp crust, leave bread uncovered on the rack.  For a soft crust, brush top lightly with melted butter and cover with a cloth while cooling.

(Mine bakes very fast, in 30 minutes.)

Oven fresh bread is irresistibly additively delicious!!!

Hotel of Madame de Pompadour

The place

This mansion stands on the site of the first pumping-house used for supplying water to the Palace’s water features. In the form of a tower, it used to house a 100-m3 reservoir on the upper floor, and on the ground floor a horse carousel which drove the mechanism that brought water from Clagny lake situated a little lower down.

Destroyed in 1686, it was replaced in 1751 by a mansion designed for Louis XV’s favourite, Madame de Pompadour, by J. Cailleteau (1690-1755), an architect specially chosen by her. After Madame de Pompadour’s death and a variety of other uses, the building became a tourist hotel in 1875 and its height was raised in 1908 to what it is today.

It was bought back by the State in 1933. Just up the street, next to this building, can be seen the sturdy walls of the Palace reservoirs that give the street its name.

To this day they supply water to the fountains in the Palace’s gardens. A little lower down, at No. 9-11, is the former Crown depository built in 1778-1784 by C.F. Darnaudin (1741-1805). These buildings formed part of the Hôtel des Réservoirs between 1866 and 1933.

Go Potty For Ceramics!

As you have no doubt gathered, when I fall, I fall deep. It’s addiction, but bordering on obsessional. For some girls it’s a man but for me it’s …. Ceramics! Yes my George Clooney is a teacup and my Benedict Cumberbatch is a side plate (OK I’m not saying I’d choose a side plate over Benedict but I’m less likely to find him gathering dust on a shelf in a charity shop!)

I have some beautiful pieces I have collected over the years, some floral and vintage and some that favour my current passion which is for the darker side of interiors.

This stunning vase I came upon at my beloved Hemswell antique centre for just £28. It’s the most amazing deep peacock blue and it had me at hello! (Benedict would have had me before hello incidentally!)

Peacock blue is a passion for me right now, how stunning is this shiny vase

I frequently move stuff around rooms, depending on my mood, as sitting in a cupboard behind glass is all very well to keep dust at bay, but some things need to be admired in close range.  I do have some very delicate bits in a velvet lined sitting room cabinet, mainly some very Downton Abbey-esque Noritake Ive been collecting for years, so pretty, I never get bored of looking at these.

FullSizeRender (10)
Pretty Noritake China

Now, I’m not the sort of person who lives in perpetual state of tidiness and I don’t normally have my dining table laid for a dinner party I’m not going to have, but on fishing some china plates out of a dark cupboard recently, I felt the need to stage this just for a few weeks so I can remind myself of the loveliness that is vintage china, none of this was more than a few pounds a piece. Some from charity shops, some from vintage shops.

This gorgeous bowl and matching plate with the scalloped edge was from a lovely local vintage shop not far from our  own shop, Melody Maison, in Harworth, Near Doncaster  (see below for both shops directions ) and is perfect for a Christmas dinner table for the obligatory Cranberry sauce offering.

Like all good china nuts, I do own a ‘full matching set’ that would make your Nana proud, and allow me to offer tea to HM The Queen (should she drop in!) and I have used this at Christmas before, but with a family of 20-26 to feed for most of our family Christmas lunch’s , it doesn’t stretch that far so, I did pull together every mismatched floral china plate I own to do a vintage style Christmas table (not sure the male relatives appreciated the daintiness of the plates but it looked lovely!)

Ceramics are not just for the dining table or sitting room cabinet though,  my bathroom pretties have appeared in my blog before,. A beautiful lined pine vintage wall cupboard, also from Hemswell Antiques Centre, is now crammed with all manner of  vintage ceramic plates, pots, vases and figures and, I can sit looking at them all from the bath!

Cupboard full of all things pretty

I can’t go without showing you some splendid china from House of Fraser Ive been admiring. This is the quirky ‘n’ vintage versus the pretty ‘n’ vintage sides of me battling as per usual. Peacocks and roses are up there in my top 5 list of things I adore right now (this list also includes Mr Cumberbatch!) and depending on the day of the week, I cant choose my fave. I love greens and pinks equally too.

And here’s just some of the lush ceramic pieces we currently have in the Melody Maison shop.

A small selection of gorgeous grey and green ceramics in the Melody Maison shop

If you are ever near Doncaster,  Tickhill or Bawtry do come and visit, we’re ever such a nice bunch and we have oodles of gorgeous things like this to coo over ( be quick though cos Im pretty sure those goregeous green urns are going to find their way to my house if they catch my eye line one more time!)

click here for link for address/directions for the Melody Maison shop

Until next time, happy collecting and vintage shopping

oo, as promised,  heres a link to address for Forget Me not Antiques in Tickhill (why not visit us both, we are just 2 miles apart)

Great ideas for how to decorate your home using Animals as a theme

Shabby, kitsch and quirky….

…are not the names of my pets!  (maybe they should be)  but rather what sums up my taste in interior décor

Currently I have a penchant for what I call ‘critter chic’   – that’s animals and birds in all shapes, styles and sizes, from parrots to peacocks and pooches to foxes. In fact animal décor is so in vogue at the moment, it is impossible to not find some new cutie or some vintage weird n wonky creature everywhere I go.

Every room in my home differs in style, but what ties them together is they are all crammed with bits n bobs n trinkets, including quite a few critter’s from our own Melody Maison and Windsor Browne stores

its brass monkeys out there! – £33.95 from http://www.windorbrowne.co.uk

My bedroom – My bedside table has a beautiful perched bird lamp I purchased some time ago from our Melody Maison showroom, and the pink trinket box with gold kingfisher is a recent purchase from next

My bedside table bird friends

My sitting room – has a botanical Victoriana theme, so I have managed to incorporate some elegant parrots, foxes and even a tortoise in here. My current favourite recent purchase is a gold framed ceramic parrot and cockatiel pair, from asda – Yes asda of all places – this could quite easily have appeared in a quirky high end boutique at 3 times the price, and I’d of probably still bought it, but at a bargain £8.00, I can imagine they wont be there for long.

and  my other recent quirky purchase is a distressed gold tortoise bowl, from one of my favourite quirky designers, Abigail Aherne .

So if you are looking to add some cute or quirky friends to your decor, go subtle and sweet with a small piece, like this cute piggy mirror from Melody Maison….

Freestanding Three Pigs Mirror
3 little vain pigs!

or go bold touch with this amazing wallpaper from wallpaperdirect, I love it!  I’m putting this on my future room décor wish list, possibly for my downstairs loo? I’ll keep you posted on that project in due course.

Amazing animal wallpaper
Wow! Gold framed animals on the walls?

And finally, even my bathroom doesn’t escape the animal magic! My bathroom is very vintage, and my cute ceramic kitsch dogs take pride of place in my wall mounted display cabinet which is full of stuff just like your Nana used to have… ‘Nana chic’ anyone?  All from boot sales, and vintage shops

My little bunch of Kitsch n vintage ceramic dogs …. Poodle power!

and I have managed to find someone who loves this look even more than I do, hey, why stop at 3 dogs! – This room shot was one I found on pintrest of someone’s room,  who clearly has a very similar love of vintage kitsch dog stuff.

Hope you’ve enjoyed reading this weeks blog, let me know what you think and about your animal passions.

Happy Bank holiday weekend all!

Vegan Ground Beef (plant-based, oil-free)

  • Author: Beth Hornback | Pass the Plants
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 6 cups
  • Method: Saute
  • Cuisine: Vegan American

No one will guess there’s no meat when you use this vegan ground beef in your favorite dishes – try it in tacos, spaghetti sauce, sloppy joes, and more!

  • 1 head of cauliflower, broken into large florets
  • 8 ounces crimini or baby portobello mushrooms
  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium yellow onion, peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (I use the julienne cut, packed dry)
  • 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas), or walnuts

  1. In a food processor fitted with an s-blade, process the pumpkin seeds (or walnuts) and sun-dried tomatoes until a fine meal forms, but be careful not to go so far as to puree into a smooth mixture.
  2. Remove the pumpkin seed and sun-dried tomato mixture to a bowl and set aside.
  3. Remove the s-blade from the food processor and attach the grating disc.
  4. Shred the cauliflower, mushrooms, carrots, onions and garlic. If you don’t have a shredding attachment, pulse small amounts at a time using the S-blade until finely chopped but not pureed.
  5. In a large nonstick skillet, cook the shredded vegetables over medium-high heat until the moisture has evaporated and the vegetables are cooked, about 6-8 minutes. See notes for alternative oven roasting method.
  6. Add the pumpkin seed (or walnut) and sun-dried tomato mixture into the skillet, and combine with the vegetables, cooking for 1 minute.
  7. Use in place of ground beef with the ratio of 2 cups of vegan ground beef for 1 pound of cooked ground meat.

Oven Roasting Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425F.
  2. Prepare two large sheet pans by lining them with parchment paper.
  3. Spread out the shredded vegetables and tomato/seed mixture evenly between the two sheet pans, and stir to combine.
  4. Roast for 20-25 minutes until the mixture is cooked and reduced in size due to moisture evaporation. Stir halfway through the time to ensure even cooking.

Things to Know

  • This recipe stores for up to a week in the refrigerator, and a minimum of 3 months in the freezer. As Daryl Hannah said in Steel Magnolias, it freezes beautifully.
  • I use the sun-dried tomatoes that are not packed in liquid, and there is no need to rehydrate them before using.
  • Vegan Ground Beef is wonderful in Vegetable Bolognese, Vegan Cheeseburger Soup, and Vegan Taco Meat. In fact, one batch should give you enough to make all three recipes!

Keywords: vegan ground beef, vegan ground meat, vegan meat substitute, vegetarian ground beef, vegetarian ground meat, meatless monday, plant-based ground beef, plant-based ground meat, whole food plant based, wfpb
