Rockford Health System, located in Rockford, IL, is the largest health system serving northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. It includes a 396-bed tertiary care hospital; numerous outpatient clinics with locations throughout the region; a 55-bed inpatient hospital offering a full range of rehabilitation services; and a visiting nurses association providing a variety of home healthcare services to patients of all ages.
Rockford’s process for freight prior to implementation with TRIOSE was inconsistent. The system was unable to determine its true freight costs. In fact, the initial estimate of freight costs was actually undervalued by approximately 2.5 times.
At Rockford, freight was something that just happened, and was not monitored. Therefore, the biggest challenge was the need for education throughout the health system and its executive leadership on how freight was impacting the overall bottom line. Since there was no consistent program in place for handling freight costs, Rockford management needed to find a way to bridge its finance and accounts payable personnel with its purchasing staff to devise a method to track and better manage all costs.
In 2007, the health system conducted a complete review of its supply chain process. An external consultant made recommendations regarding the entire organizational structure, and 53 cost-saving measures were identified that could be pursued immediately — one being the implementation of a freight management program. The consultant suggested that Rockford consider partnering with TRIOSE.
“The TRIOSE program was so easy to implement. We used very few internal resources and the program was implemented rather quickly to get something on the board. We have not looked back at that decision since,” said Chip Geiger, Purchasing Manager at Rockford.
TRIOSE was able to onboard the health system very quickly and measurable results were seen beginning in month one. The first year produced $51,886 in savings as the system ran 43% of its freight spend through TRIOSE. Rockford currently has 70% of its spend through TRIOSE. To date, Rockford has saved a total of $505,418 over 60 months of tracking freight.
"Since the TRIOSE program was so easy to implement, without a lot of setup on my behalf, we implemented rather quickly and have not looked back at that decision since."

HYANNIS – The Barnstable County Human Rights Commission Hosted a breakfast at the Hyannis Golf Club yesterday to commemorate the United Nation’s Human Rights Day.
The annual breakfast serves as an opportunity to gather stakeholders, celebrate the successes of the year gone by, and look ahead at upcoming opportunities to serve Barnstable County populations in need.
The event also allows the commission to recognize members of the community for their efforts over the past year. This year, the group honored We Can founder Jim Hurly; Penelope Duby, Chair of the Cape Cod and Islands Commission on the Status of Women; and Cape and Islands State Senator Julian Cyr.
The organization also presented the Rosenthal Award to the Barnstable Police Department’s Community Impact Unit and the town’s Department of Public Works’ Homeless Camp Clean-up Crews for their efforts to break the cycle of homelessness with compassion and respect.
Brian Morrison, a patrol officer on Barnstable’s Community Impact Unit, explained how members of the public can become more involved.
The nine-member volunteer Human Rights Commission was created in 2005 by the County’s Assembly of Delegates to promote equal opportunity, prevent discrimination, investigate and mediate complaints and provide human rights information.
Commissioners also work actively to strengthen community ties and reduce misunderstandings and conflicts.

A variation of the earnings trade is also an useful addition to your trading arsenal. There are a handful of companies which have at any given time very high sales growth. They may or may not have earnings. This happens in biotech, pharma and high technology field. In these kind of companies the sales acceleration acts as a catalyst, kicking off multi month rallies post earnings.
So in addition to 100% plus earnings , I track companies which had a 100% plus sales/revenue growth and recent quarter sales/revenue are above 10 million. Now some of these might have good earnings growth, but the hyper sales growth alone acts as a catalyst in such cases. Now if these companies had no rally prior to the earnings season and show sudden revenue acceleration, you will notice they immediately jump. Again the rallies in such companies last for few quarters or years.
The biggest winners in a year typically come from such hyper growth companies.
The earning season is fast approaching. Earning season offers some of the best opportunities for profitable trading. PEAD or post earnings announcement drift is a well studied and proven market anomaly. Stocks which have significant earnings surprise or acceleration, breakout post earnings and rally for next 3-6 months as market reacts to this new earnings power. Sometimes these rallies last years.
So if you are looking for a profitable strategy to trade, you might be interested in putting together a working plan for next earning season.
Earnings Data Sources: You need a reliable source for earnings. I use the Investors Business Daily and Wall Street Journal for this. Besides these two there are many other sources of earnings. When choosing a source I look at how they adjust earnings for one time events. Overall IBD does a better job on this.
Three types of earnings announcements: Earnings announcements are made after close, before close and in some rare set of companies during market hours. I concentrate on the earnings announced after market close. They appear in the IBD daily edition under 'Company Earnings Report' section.
What to look for in earnings: To narrow the set of companies to track and trade for this strategy, based on my prior experience, I only track companies whose earnings are up 100% or more quarter over quarter and the earnings should be at least 5 cents. Sales/revenue should be up 5% or more. Doubling of earnings is significant. Few companies meet that criteria. So I put all the stock meeting this criteria in a list. Now what one is looking for is earnings acceleration. IBD will have those stocks with up arrow to indicate earnings acceleration. Besides that I look for price action on that stock by looking at how much they are up in last 65 days or so. I am looking for stocks which have not rallied in anticipation of earnings. Even better is stock which has no analyst coverage and is neglected. Stocks with less than 100% plus earnings also breakout, but to prioritize, I only focus on above 100.
Breakout: An earnings surprise on stock which has not rallied significantly will lead to breakout next day. Most of the time I will enter in the morning and add to position later if the volume climbs above average volume. Many times such stocks will gap up 5 to 300% on day of earnings and still make further moves of 20 to several hundred percent in next 3 to 12 months. I look to capture such moves. Most of these breakouts will have minor pullback at best and just go up for 2 to 6 weeks before having a reaction. So if you don't enter on the earnings day you will be just a observer.
Stops: I put stops 1 dollar below the gap low if it is gap up or at 2 days low and trail with stop. In these trades I move my stops quickly once it makes 20% move. Objective in such method is to capture several 20% moves.
Watchlist: I maintain a watch list of stocks which respond with a high breakout on earnings day of 4% plus for next one year. These stocks often have several more breakouts during the year and make multi month or multi year moves. All major movers like NTRI, HANS, TIE, AAPL, ICE, GROW and several others had series of 100% plus earnings growth during their entire rally period. The oil stocks which had a stellar rallies for last couple of years or the steel stocks also had several triple digit earnings.
How many opportunities: Even in bear markets you will find opportunities using this strategy. If you set up your system properly, you should find 20-25 opportunities like this in every earnings season. When market expectations are low, or market has had several months of correction, you will find 50 to 100 opportunities in an earning season.
So if you are looking for making gang buster returns in this coming earning season, just get your databases and information sources in place and you will find several opportunities. This is one trade which is easiest to trade as there is clear identifiable catalyst. Plus in a year there are 4 earnings season.
Season of profitable opportunities starts next week. You will be pleasantly surprised by the results you get. Carpe diem.
It is currently a difficult environment to trade in. The best long entries were couple of weeks ago when the market looked most vulnerable and the bears were dancing on the street. That was an ideal panic buy set up for quick profit. Now putting on long is tricky.
Even more tricky thing is shorts. Yesterday provided a good lesson in why you need to be very patient to put your shorts. The last two days action had shorts excited. The hypothesis is that this move is fated for failure. That is my hypothesis also, but timing is the issue. So overeager Index shorts were a very good fodder for the last 45 minutes rally. Part of the rally was quarter end effect and large part of it was again panicky shorts getting squeezed. The game always remains the same on the street.
Select stocks which had Episodic Pivot moves today. Unusual price and volume move often kick start a long duration rallies. Identifying the catalyst behind such one day move can help determine the likelihood of the move continuing. Short term momentum often translates in to long term momentum.
Select stocks which had 100% plus move in last 260 days from the low and which are up more than 4% on higher volume. Today's minimum volume is above 100000. To understand how to trade this see the post "How to find a stock which makes a 1500% plus move in a year".
Force Protection Inc, is a Iraq war play and stock is up 886% from 260 days low. I have had two very profitable trades in this stock in last 6 month and now in to third trade on this one. SPAR, Spartan Motors is a related company in this category and is up 238% from 260 days low.
In next couple of days you will see strange volume and price spikes related to Index changes.

The counter trend rally from the panicky bottom seems to have run out of steam. The longevity of the rally was always a question mark because it was happening to quickly after the correction. But the few weeks offered lots of opportunities and number of new stocks like BTJ, DXPE, WFR, JSDA, ROCM, ACAD, CPHD, PRGX, etc. had a quick 25 to 50% move within that time period. There still might be another attempt at bounce , driven by month end and quarter end dynamics.
The next phase of down move is likely to be characterized by steady systematic selling. That kind of steady selling can be enduring. Panics are always of short duration and good opportunities for long.
Long opportunities will still continue to offer better options. Especially the episodic pivot scans will work, even if we go in to a down move. Only thing is greater selectivity will be required. As bulk of my focus is on Episodic Pivots, I have added that scan information to this post and hence forth will shift attention to it rather than 100% plus moves.
Select stocks which had Episodic Pivot moves today. Unusual price and volume move often kick start a long duration rallies. Identifying the catalyst behind such one day move can help determine the likelihood of the move continuing.
Market has been churning after the FOMC induced big move. The down days have been on lower volume. The month end and quarter end effect will provide a support for this move at this stage. After that market attention will again focus on earnings season. The real next move would reassert itself after the earning season or midway through it once the earnings picture become clearer. On individual stock price moves will be driven by pre earning drift and pre announcements.
As usual the earnings season is a season of opportunity and I look froward to it for profit making opportunities. I will later have a series of my customary pre earning season posts on how to profit from the " Post Earnings Announcement Drift (PEADS)" strategy.
Notice the dramatic increase in stocks up 25% or more in a month within few days of rally after the down move.So there were 64 opportunities to make 25% plus in individual stocks. If you could not find much of an opportunity, you must go through those 64 stock list to find what you are missing. A well designed strategy should have you invested in some of them and capturing part of the move on some. 57 of the 64 stocks in that list had a Episodic Pivot in last 6 months or less. Around half of the members in that 64 had already moved 100% plus before they made the 25% plus move in last one month. More than half of them had the 25% plus move triggered by earnings announcements.
Momentum is cyclical and long side momentum takes some time to play itself out. Things are different on short side. Markets often turn on dime on short side. Yesterday's action is a classic example of this market observation. The market rebounded from the weak open and ended at top of range.
In few weeks the market has rebounded sharply and erased the effect of the China induced down move. If you look at the numbers below and compare them to the numbers just a few weeks ago, you would notice very impressive recovery. It is not yet clear if this rally has more legs, but the learning is clear, never underestimate the strength of a bounce after a panicky move. That is the way markets work.
Month end and quarter end dynamics should help push the market higher. New sectors are emerging to take on leadership and lot of stocks in transport sector are attracting buy interest.
Similar to the concept of How to find breakouts on stocks which are not overextended , you can develop set of scans to find short breakouts on stocks which are probably just about to start a short move.
Again essentially you are looking at stocks which had rallied majorly in last one year and now running out of steam. Some minor adjustments are needed in the scans to achieve this.
Now this set of scans have been created using TC2000, but you can recreate the same in any other software once you understand the logic.
1 We are looking for long term strength. So the first scan will give you a way to rank stocks based on price change from 260 days low.
We will take top 20% stock ranked by this scan. So in TC2000 you will take stocks ranked 80 or above on above scan.
2 We are looking for near term weakness. Near term I am defining as one quarter weakness. That is 1/4 th of 260, or 65 trading days.
Which gives you stocks which have less than 10% price growth in last 65 days. Plus it is within 20% of its 65 day high price. Here the change is 20% of 65 high as against 10% for long scan.
So this condition gives you a pause/ consolidation within a high relative strength stock. Stocks with high relative strength can break in either direction. All high relative strength stocks at some stage reverse or have significant pullback. This happens mostly after everyone gets excited about a sector.
3 Breakdown condition. Now to above two scans we will add our breakdown condition of 4% down move for today on high volume.
Now see the stocks meting this set of scan. Under good circumstances for short selling, you will find very good candidates in these set of scans. This gives shorts which are just about to breakdown after a long up move.
The bounce has created number of god short sell set ups in sectors like Airlines, investment banks and many other sectors which were leading sectors few months ago.
The individual stocks which broke out in last couple of weeks like BTJ,RRI,ALJ,WNR,ADBL,GLBL,METH, HTC,UCTT,JSDA,EVEP,JAV, DXPE,FFH,TRCR, PRGX, WFR, etc., have been moving up. Most of them are up 25% or more since then breakout. All of these stocks broke out post market correction. More than 70% of them had a Episodic Pivot breakout in last 20-30 days.
While such stocks and more stocks from the Episodic Pivot list and 100% list and IBD200 list will have such moves, overall I am skeptical of the bounce. The main reasons being, it has come too soon. It takes certain amount of time, ideally 40 to 60 days from start of correction for a tradable and sustainable bounce to develop. I am anticipating the current move to fail. Number of individual stocks which had rallied till now in the up move from July onwards are showing signs of breaking down.So the move might lead to failure or long sideways move. In such environment, individual stock selection is the key. The best method for that in my current scheme of things is Episodic Pivots.

Can someone help me please!!!
Parts and Products Post new products, talk about parts other than electrical, drivetrain and suspension.
I saw a thread on here before about a kit that is made only for crx's and old hatchbacks that totally transforms the whole look of the car. Does anyone know what im talking about?? If you do could you please refresh my memory and tell me what it was called??? I went to searcha and then I realised I didnt know what I was searching for!
not sure, ut a CRX beat my off the line many time and I cried, cause that thing had a chip or something.
Are you talking about the Wings West kit or the ZC kit? Hell, I know it's got to be one of these!! I don't know that they are all available any more though!
I know exactly what you're talking about. Just can't remember the name, nor the place I saw it at [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG] It's not like anything you guys are thinking. It takes a CRX or 4th gen civic hatchback and makes it look something like a porsche or something. It's not just a kit, it's a complete makeover. When I saw a picture with it, I found it hard to believe I was looking at a CRX.
Bimcj pf Custom CRX pics here.
Yeah!!! Nookiemonster knows what Im talking about. It makes tha hatchback look like a s2000 almost. It turns it into a convertable.
and the crx looks like....well i dont know....put it this way...after the transformation they dont even look like hondas anymore!!!
Looks like one of those pickup truck conversions.
oops... didnt read the whole post!! i know which one you are thinkin of. it makes it look like an elise. ill try to find it for you!!!
UH-OH!!! Look out everyone!!! You guys lost to a noob!!! Thanks danny....the second one was EXACTLY what I was looking for!!!!!
Hey if you don't appreciate our efforts, then forget about it. The title of this thread is a bit misleading anyway.
Listen...FYI I was just kidding. I do appreciate your efforts...THANK YOU...I was just trying to make danny feel good about himself cause everyone usually picks on the noobs. Excuse me for being nice.
Being nice to one and mean to the rest of us? Is that your idea of being nice? You could make the newbie feel good without denegrating the others.
IT WAS A FREAKING JOKE!!!!!!!!! THANK SOME OF YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING!!!
I've never seen that kit before and let me just say WOA....I didn't even believe it until I scrolled down!

Roses are one of the most highly symbolic flowers. Red roses are a favored gift for a lover. White roses are a traditional part of a bridal bouquet. Each American First Lady gets a rose named in her honor. Innumerable poets over the ages have made roses the symbol of love. Innumerable significant others have demanded rose bouquets as tokens of affection. And, consequently, innumerable crafty florists have seriously hiked the price of a traditional dozen rose bouquet.
Fortunately, we now have the Internet. With the advent and boom of the online florist industry, many local florists have started advertising their flowers online as well. This makes price comparisons substantially easier, as well as giving you the ability to see a sample of the florist's work. Even with the Internet, it is extremely important to make sure you are getting good quality as well as a good price. The following steps will help you find the perfect bouquet at a wallet-friendly cost.
If you have a finite price in mind, many online florists offer the option to search by cost. This can help you narrow the selection. If you are shopping for the best price without a definite boundary, remember to figure in the cost of shipping.
2. How formal is the occasion?
For an anniversary or "I'm Sorry" flowers, you will want to get a formal bouquet. However, if you are just bringing someone flowers for a casual gift, consider your local supermarket or upscale supermarket. Choose flowers that are unbroken and without bruised petals. Try to get a packet of flower food as well. (The information desk or florist table should have them.) While not as formal as a florist's work, high end supermarkets do provide relatively high quality flowers and the plant food will prolong their freshness even further.
3. Do you want a bouquet of just roses or is a mixed bouquet acceptable?
A bouquet of just roses will be more expensive than just about any other flower on the market. Sometimes, a purely rose bouquet is necessary. Sometimes, what you really need is a bouquet WITH roses. Look for a bouquet of mixed flowers and roses where the roses are the dominant blooms, meaning they are the showiest flowers in the bouquet, or the flowers to which your eye is immediately drawn. This achieves much of the same effect as a rose bouquet: you have the roses, you have the thoughtful floral gift, and you have additional flowers designed to highlight the beauty of the roses through complementary colors and petal types.
If you do need just roses at the lowest possible price, look into wholesale florists. Many sell online and will give you a per stem price, but they will require that you purchase a batch of a certain number. So, if a retailer offers lots of 20, you need to buy 20 roses. By and large, people do not object to extra flowers, and the price is far better than anything you will find in retail.
Place the cellophane on a flat surface. Gently gather the filler flowers and ferns and place them on the cellophane diagonally, with their tops a few inches from the top corner of the cellophane. Place your roses on top of the ferns. Pick up the bottom corner of the cellophane and fold it over the bottom stems. Wrap the left and the right side of the cellophane around the stems. Put a bit of tape at the base of the cellophane "vase" to keep the flowers from unfolding the bottom. Tie your ribbon around cellophane on top of the stems, about 1/3 of the way to the bottom. Voila! You have created a bouquet that looks three to four times more expensive than it actually was.

After an abysmal season where their defense set all sorts of records for defensive ineptitude, there was a lot of speculation as to what kind of coaching changes the Chicago Bears would make on the defensive side of the ball.
On Sunday, fans got their answer. Defensive line coach Mike Phair and linebackers coach Tim Tibesar were both told they will not be returning to the Bears in 2014, but defensive coordinator Mel Tucker Jr. will remain with the team in that role.
Tucker’s tenure with the Bears has been anything but exemplary. A year after the Bears had one of the top five defenses in the league, a combination of injuries and hideously poor execution led to the Bears giving up over 6000 yards for the first time in team history. The Bears also surrendered at least 21 points in all 16 games this season, also a team first.
After the season ended, Trestman and Phil Emery began to address what the team intended to do to improve the defense. Tucker’s status was not secure initially, but that’s obviously changed now.
Between that, potentially moving Shea McClellin to linebacker, and drafting at positions ranging from safety to defensive end, the Bears’ defense has a lot of moving parts right now, but Tucker’s system will be the star that it will revolve around.

In an age of fast-evolving industries and emerging economies, among the most in-demand services today are engineering services. There is a continuous turnover and implementation of construction and infrastructure projects in numerous places today, from developing countries to the wealthiest emirates around the world. Soaring skyscrapers, highways and skyways, bridges and buildings – all these concrete-and-steel structures are accepted symbols of progress and growth today.
Companies involved in these projects often require the services provided by engineering professionals. These services include the production of work detail drawings for various prefabricated components, such as for appliances, windows, trusses, cabinets, elevators, millwork, structural steel and more. The drawings are especially essential in the work for mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems.
Companies also rely on engineering service providers to create up-to-date, correct bar bending schedules that will enable them to define the requirements of their project accurately. It typically contains the list and specifications of the steel bars, the schedule of bending and other pertinent details about the steel beams and columns used to reinforce a structure.
Engineering service providers are also tasked with the development of prospective plans and material take off which are both very important documents – making them clear, thorough and accurate is a critical factor to the planning process and the success of the project.
Reputable engineering service providers follow a strict and global standards-based quality assurance process to make sure the activities and services they render satisfy client expectations. The set of expectations and requirements are completely detailed in an approved contract, which serves as a main resource and informs all decisions and actions made for the project.
Another important characteristic of a high-quality engineering professional team is their top-notch communications skills. They make sure engineering and construction jargons are referenced in a way that the client, regardless of industry and field, understands. The needs and requirements for each phase should be discussed in detail; successful planning can determine the success of the project. Effective communication strategies are likewise crucial in making sure all issues and concerns before, during and after the project are addressed efficiently. This is especially important in the event that claims or complaints come up.
The engineering service providers’ commitment to schedule is also a non-negotiable factor in ensuring the satisfactory completion of the project. Delayed outcomes or an overextended work schedule leads to over costing, aside from other inconveniences. A firm that follows best practices and high standards of management process and health, safety and environmental procedures will most likely produce quality, timely and responsible results.

Q: How did you get started with emergency medical services?
A: Staccie Allen: I graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in finance and management and a minor in health science education. I thought I would go into hospital administration. While in school, I worked in Alachua General Hospital’s emergency department, and they did a lot of clinical on-the-job training. Upon graduation, I obtained a position as a budget analyst, but I still kept the tech position on weekends. I found that I was enjoying the tech position much more than my other position. One night, two ShandsCair employees came to pick up a really sick patient. I remember being drawn to the way they stabilized the patient, prepared the patient for transport and got them off to definitive care. I told my husband this is what I wanted to do. ShandsCair was a one-helicopter program and he made jokes that someone has to retire to get a job there, and I said, “No, no, I’m going to do this.” I went back to nursing school knowing that I wanted to fly for ShandsCair.
Q: What drew you to working with ShandsCair?
A: Allen: ShandsCair was nationally known as the top transport quality provider in the area. Its affiliation and partnership with UF Health gave it the opportunity to deliver the highest-quality care and more complex care. What drew me to ShandsCair was not only the people who were working here and the family atmosphere, but also the ability for the program to transport some of the sickest patients I had ever encountered. It’s amazing what these clinicians do together for patients and families. To get them here, to deliver them in better condition than they were when we picked them up, it’s amazing to me.
Q: What does ShandsCair mean to you?
A: Allen: It’s my heart and soul. Family. High quality. Safety. Those are some of the top things that come to my mind. The ability to make a difference in a patient’s life.
Q: What excites you about the future of the program?
A: Allen: We’re about to embark on unprecedented growth again. We may have the opportunity to more than double the program size in the next year, and that’s enormous growth in this industry. Ultimately this expansion will help patients get to definitive care quicker, and that’s going to make a difference in their live.
Q: What have your responsibilities been in the past and what are they currently at ShandsCair?
A: Allen: I worked in the surgical intensive care unit at UF Health when it was a joint unit, which gave me an incredible basis for taking care of complex patients. I also worked in several emergency departments and as a ground paramedic for Bradford County. In 2005, I started working as a P.R.N. flight nurse/paramedic with ShandsCair and, in 2007, I was chosen to be a full-time flight nurse/paramedic. In 2009, I became the chief flight nurse. The program was under the director of trauma and aeromedical services. When that director left, they separated the services and decided to grow the program. In 2011, I had the opportunity to become the director. Back then, we were one helicopter, one fixed-wing and three ambulances. We are now three helicopters, two satellite bases, one fixed-wing and eight ambulances. We’ve also grown from about 45 people to over 130 people in the last several years. Today, my responsibilities include 24-hour accountability for the program’s operations and strategic planning.
Q: What is the most interesting and challenging part of your job?
A: Allen: It’s something new every single day. For example, never in a million years did I think I would lead a project to purchase a helicopter. You’d think it’s like purchasing a car — it’s nothing like that. When you take delivery of a helicopter, there are many things that you didn’t know previously that you go through, and if there are any bugs to work out in the first 100 hours, it’s all regulated. That was a tremendous challenge for me, learning the ins and outs of effectively purchasing and delivering an aircraft.
Q: What message do you want to send to the community about ShandsCair?
A: Allen: We’re so honored to have served the community for the past 35 years, and to have the support of UF Health gives us the ability to continue serving the community. Every person at ShandsCair is invested in making somebody else’s day better. Every single person here is 100 percent committed to taking the very best care of every patient and family we encounter.

There is a little story behind this recipe that I would like to share with you. I have a close friend of mine, Jo, who is the real queen of Guinness cakes. We have been colleagues for two years (and “neighbours” since a year ago) and I can tell you, hand on heart, that no matter how many recipes I’ve tried, how many versions of this cake I’ve tasted, Jo’s Guinness cake is by far the best one. My recipe is very similar to hers and hopefully you are going to love it!
This is a classic one. Every person who likes baking and Guinness at some point in their life tried to make a Guinness cake. If you search on Google, you’ll easily find pages and pages of recipes. Nigella Lawson has one, Delia has one (though it is disguised as Stout Cake)…. and I have one. Why it is such a hit? well, bake one and you’ll understand. What will come out of your oven is a delicious, super-moist and dense black heaven with a Guinness-ish kick. The frosting makes all the difference: do not, and I repeat, do not leave this cake without it. Also, don’t go healthy – get your full fat cream cheese!
To begin with, line a 23cm spring-form tin cake and preheat the over at Gas mark 3. Mine was a little smaller (but not much). Put a pan on a very low heath and pour Guinness into it. Add the butter and let it melt gently. Do not make the Guinness boil! Stir gently with a whisk until incorporated, then take the pan off the heath and add cocoa powder and sugar to this black mixture.
Take a jug and pour yoghurt, eggs and vanilla extract into it. Give all these ingredients a stir with a fork, then pour this mixture into the pan gently; keep whisking the mixture in the pan whilst you do and don’t stop until all is nicely incorporated.
Finally, add the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate. I admit it , I put all the flour in one go because I’m lazy and I couldn’t be bothered, but it would be better to add it a bit at a time.
Pour everything into the tin and bake for around 45 minutes. The mixture is really black and your cake will only get darker when cooked so do not trust your eyes: insert a skewer into the middle of the cake and, if it comes out clean, that is the sign your cake is ready. Leave it to cool in the tin for a bit, then move it to a wire rack.
To make the frosting, place all ingredients into a bowl and whisk everything together with an electric handheld whisk till it is fluffy. Tip to not reduce your kitchen like an icing sugar hell: give a stir by hand gently first. Do not frost the cake unless it is cold – not warm, not lukewarm, but properly nice and cold. You don’t want to end up with melted frosting….
I’ve never made a guinness cake, just cupcakes with Paul’s recipe. But the cake seems to me far most moist, I need to give a try!
That’s the recipe I’ve needed for this week;) I will have to try it with my mascarpone frosting!!

Faribault County Ditch 62 is a 658 acre, all tile, public drainage system which outlets to an unnamed tributary of the Blue Earth River. The landowner at the outlet wanted to do something to treat the water from the public drainage system. This included installing a water quality unit, three large denitrifying bioreactors, and 5 alternative (conservation based) surface inlets within the watershed. Surface inlets are vertical tile brought up to the surface to drain standing water in depressions in the landscape. Alternative surface inlets are designed to drain the standing water in a way that reduces debris and sediment to the tile line. The water quality unit is essentially an underground storage tank with weir plates to slow flow and allow pollutants, suspended solids, and debris to settle out.
The work of the woodchip bioreactors takes place underground, in the case of CD62 below a grass swale so no land was taken out of production. Woodchips were placed in three underground trenches, and tile water was diverted through the bioreactors to remove nitrates from the subsurface drainage water. Water exiting the bioreactors was routed back into the underground tile with lower nitrogen concentration. The bioreactors and water quality unit are completely off line from the drainage system main and are considered part of the legal drainage system.
Bioreactors serve as part of a ‘treatment train’ approach to improve water quality and can be paired with other conservation practices, including alternative inlets to reduce the amount of pollutants reaching downstream surface waters. This project is the first application of a water quality unit in an agricultural setting and the largest treated watershed by bioreactors known in MN.

The name for this year’s Android Q 10.0!
Google has a history of naming the latest versions of Android on the names of popular desserts. A lot of people like this practice a lot as it gives them a visual manifestation of the latest sweet goods on offer by Google. What would this year’s Android Q name be?
While it may serve to distinguish products on a yearly basis but the most important thing about this naming convention is the obvious branding advantage that it provides to Google on a yearly basis.
As we move forward into another year we have Android Q here. Let’s do a brief recap of all the Android names till now leading up to Android Q.
The first two versions were with internal codenames. The first publicly named Android version with a dessert name was Cupcake. It was followed by Donut. Then Eclair, Froyo, GingerBread, HoneyComb, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, Kitkat, Lollipop, Marshmallow, Nougat, Oreo and Pie followed.
Pheww, that was a long list. And now let’s take a closer look at all of the potential candidates for this year’s Android Q.
Quinoa: It’s a very unlikely candidate for this year’s Android 10.0. It’s often used to make Quinoa puddings and desserts. Sometimes made with Coconut milk and maple syrup.
Android Q name: The choices are many!
A variety of desserts employ the use of Quinoa. But because it’s not exactly the name of a dessert we feel the chances for this one to make the shortlist is quite tough.
Quiche: This is one of the frontrunners for this race. The word “quiche” is often used to describe sweet things as much as the word “pie” is used. It’s made of milk, cheese, eggs and with meat, seafood or vegetables all enclosed in a pie like crust.
Although it’s not included in the list of conventional desserts it still feels like this might make the cut this year.
Quindim: Quindim is a tasty custard which is pretty popular in Brazil. Its constituents are egg yolks, sugar & ground coconuts. It’s one of those things which completely fulfils Google’s criteria of the desserts that they choose.
If Google decides to go for a non-English name this year for Android Q then this name can easily make the cut.
Qottab: It’s an Iranian pastry and contains walnuts or almonds which are wrapped in a deep-fried covering which is made of flour, cardamom and sugar.
It’s not something which exactly fits the mould for Android Q naming but can make the cut if Google goes for something unconventional.
Quesito: These are cute looking pastries. They have sugar coated exteriors and are flaky. These pastry treats are often filled with cheese and taken with breakfast.
They are usually vanilla flavoured and have fruits inside. So it’s very likely that these can make the cut.
Queijadas: They are pretty popular cupcakes originating in Portugal. They come in a wide variety of flavours. But they are not something known outside their country of origin that much.
Hence their chance of getting selected is pretty low.
Qurabiya: They are usually made with ground almonds on the inside and are biscuits which look like shortbreads. They are not that much common on a global scale and the name is quite tough to pronounce for a lot of people.
Personally, we feel that Quiche would be the perfect choice for this year’s Android Q. But we have been wrong before! Do let us know what you think would be a great choice for this year’s Android version’s name in the comments below!

Volume » Published by Marvel UK. Started in 1977.
A couple of years after the cancellation of the weekly Savage Sword of Conan, Marvel UK tried again with the Cimmerian barbarian, reviving his title as a monthly reprinting the somewhat more mature strips from the US magazine of the same name, and intermittently featuring Red Sonja, Solomon Kane and King Kull too. The first issue was released in November 1977, and this time round the title proved to be much more successful, running for several years. With #85 it absorbed the failing Mighty World of Marvel monthly, picking up the reprints of Magik that had just begun in that title, as well as the Night Raven text strip, both of which sat somewhat at odds with the rest of the magazine. A few months later Savage Sword of Conan also came to an end in July 1985 with #93.

As you run your business and continue to analyze expenses, attending physical trade shows can drain heavily on your budget. Registration fees, hotels, meals, airfare, taxis, etc can add up quickly. Are you really getting the return that you need based on the costs of attending? 95% of all travel agents never attend a major physical trade show, and this may be a key deciding factor.
Taking into account all of these expenses, and almost more importantly, your time away from being in the office and booking travel, travAlliancemedia founded and produces the Virtual Travel Event platform. These virtual events are at NO COST to you, the travel agent, and allow you to engage and gather information from top suppliers in the industry. Each show allows you to chat with suppliers, watch videos, learn about the latest destinations and products, and download the latest collateral and brochures. Please see our calendar of events for our next show!

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Jan. 6, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- With a few glances of his eyes, Erik can hop on social media to post a picture or surf to YouTube to play the latest Wu-Tang Clan video. He also can better communicate with the loved ones who are part of his daily routine. Technology helps Erik live a life comparable to any young man across America. He almost didn't have this opportunity. More than 11 years ago, a bullet fired by a sniper in Iraq struck Erik's head, leaving him paralyzed.
Erik was just 21 years old at the time. While doctors recommended a nursing home, his parents decided they would be his caregivers, sacrificing their personal lives to ensure Erik would have the best life possible, instead of spending all his time with senior citizens.
Early in Erik's recovery, Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) stepped in – greeting Erik at his hospital bed with a backpack containing simple items: shorts, a T-shirt, toiletries. But WWP also offered a promise to be there for him when he returned home.
In 2011, WWP launched the Independence Program to help our nation's most severely wounded veterans. These men and women, like Erik, have suffered mild to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injury, or other neurological conditions.
The Independence Program works with each warrior, his or her family and caregivers, and a case manager to set individual goals and develop a plan to meet those objectives. Therapists and a case manager meet with Erik to help him on a daily or weekly basis.
"We figured out what Erik was missing that he used to enjoy," said Christine Schei, Erik's mother.
Erik's injuries limit his ability to socialize, but through the use of technology, he can interact with friends over social media. A special device reads Erik's eye movements as he faces a digital keyboard. It then makes words from what he spells and can read those back – or post online.
"If he wants to go on YouTube or talk with his battle buddies, the technology makes it possible," Christine said.
"He can also activate a camera connected to the device, take a picture, and then post it online."
Additionally, the technology helps his recovery through a memory game that tests cognitive ability. Erik also works with other electronic equipment on a regular basis. He uses a stand-up harness to maneuver him into a standing position.
"It is great for his balance, and it is weight-bearing, so it also helps with his bones because he does not move around regularly."
He uses an adapted four-wheeler to get around outside and is now able to use it to enjoy another favorite pastime – hunting.
"We found a company that created something with a digital screen to target; then he can use his breath to fire a mounted gun."
Erik has already put that to use.
"He got an antelope back in October."
Christine is constantly looking for other technology to help Erik live a more regular life. A return to other hobbies is also helping.
"Through the Independence Program, Erik is now starting to get back into art. He used to draw a lot, but since he cannot do that, we are finding other ways to get back to his creative side."
Erik, his mother, and an art teacher have started scrapbooking.
"His first book looked back on his time in the Army," Christine said. "We went and gathered Army stickers, cut-out articles about him, and pictures he had sent back. He picks what goes on a page and uses a stick he holds in his mouth to put them on the page."
Erik has even painted a picture.
"He went adaptive skiing with Wounded Warrior Project and wanted to paint something from the day. He picked the colors and used a brush while we stabilized his elbow."
When Erik is not up for art, he can always go online – to listen to more of his favorite Wu-Tang Clan, or just to chat with friends. These opportunities are possible through technology and the Independence Program.

One of my friends who is really into the Formula One series got tickets to see one of the races in person and invited me. He knew that I also liked to watch the races, which is why he asked me to come along. I was so excited and couldn’t wait to go. I bought a new camera just for the event so I could take lots of pictures of the cars and drivers. I wanted to me all of them and get their autographs. This was going to be my first time going to a race.
On the day of the race, my friend and I were so excited. We were like two kids who had walked into a candy store. We went to our spots and watched as the cars went around the track. One of the cars crashed and hit another car, which sometimes happens during the races, but we had never seen it happen up close, and it was exciting and terrifying at the same time. We were wondering if the drivers were going to be fine after the crash. They were able to get out of their cars unharmed, and the other racers had to watch out for debris.
After the race, my friend and I went to a restaurant to eat some of the local food and the winner of the race walked in. We were able to get a picture taken with him and got his autograph as well. He was so nice to us and he was pretty happy too. I guess winning the race had a lot to do with that. He looked like he wanted to buy drinks for everyone. I want to go to another race when I have some free time, because it was probably one of the best experiences that I’ve ever had.

For several reasons this post about a day spend shopping in the depth of Hangzhous malls in English. Not the least of which are so that more people can read it and that I am currently listening to the Discworld novels again, giving me a strong urge to express myself in English.
So let us begin with the tale of how I bought stuff in China.
The quest of quite simple, or so one might think. Find a new pair of shorts, some flip-flops, a bag for work, a mug for work and maybe a summer jacket. Complications become apparent once one considers the average size of a Chinese person compared to that of myself. And no matter how often the shop keeper goes into the back and comes back pretending, the same pair of flip-flops just won’t get larger than they are.
And so we set out actually with a pretty clear picture in mind as Josephine had found me a bag online that looked cool and as good looking bags tend to be was sold out. Which we learned upon arriving at the store selling it. Luckily however that lead us to a store selling shorts. In which I made the fastest ever acquisition of a pair of shorts in my live. It took about half an hour to be in and out of the shop. Usually buying pants is a matter of hours.
How exhausting shopping with me can be did become apparent though after we stopped by about a half a dozen different stores without finding a bag for me. This might be a good point or at least one as good as any to talk about Chinese malls. They are like polish street markets with a roof, like any street market with a roof really but polish ones happen to be the last I visited so I am rolling with that. Therefore Chinese malls are like polish street markets with a ceiling height of two meters and stretching over multiple floors. The quality of goods sold can the thought of as roughly the same. Though you also find non-fakes here. This description of cause heavily relies upon stereotypes but it nicely conveys the feeling. And as hinted at my personal highlight was a storeowner who brought the same pair of flip-flops three times and every time pretending they were bigger now.
In the end a supermarket brought salvation. Calling it a supermarket really does not do it justice though. It is more like a state owned “Kaufhaus” (sorry English you just don’t have a good word for this) stretching over five floors and selling anything from live fish for dinner, food in general and kitchen appliances. Here finally I found myself a nice mug with a motive worthy of any thrift store at the northern see as well as a nice bag.
A day of shopping, exhausting as it is, of cause calls for a nice dinner. And as such we found a very Chinese place to have an amazing dinner and my first opportunity to pay instead of being invited after dragging Josephine around all day. The restaurant really had a nice flair which was only partly obscured by two giant flat screens broadcasting a victorias secret fashion show and playing barby girl or Christina Angilera songs in the background. A nice example of China where everything is a big mash up of everything.

The Douglas sisters, beauties all, are valuable pawns in their family’s bitter struggle to control the Scottish Crown. But when powerful enemies threaten, each Douglas lass will find she must face them alone.
Haunted by his father’s violent death, David Hume, the new laird of Wedderburn, sets out to make his name so feared that no one will dare harm his family again. The treacherous ally who played on his father’s weakness is dead and beyond David’s vengeance, but his castle and young widow are ripe for the taking. The moment David lays eyes on the dark-haired beauty defending her wee daughters, however, he knows this frail-looking lass is the one person who could bring him to his knees.
With death and danger looming, these two wounded souls must learn to trust each other…for only love can save them.
Fast paced and dramatic, as well as emotional. At times brought tears to my eyes. The story is well written with vivid descriptions and engaging, energetic characters. Love from chaos, and hero’s who are truly heros is a favorite of mine. As well as heroines who are strong, and face challenges head on and not turn away. I loved the way our hero and heroine came to value each other as lovers as well as companions. A must for any Scottish Historical fan. I truly look forward to the next installment. What an amazing tale of vengeance, courage, boldness, and love. This story has just the right amount of suspense,danger and passion to keep the reader reading, holding their breathe in awe as the characters find their way through turmoil and love. What a delight!

We've chosen these trails as our favorites and to represent the great diversity of long distance walking. These trails are found on six continents, represent fourteen countries, and range from cultural landscapes like Cinque Terre and El Camino De Santiago to wilderness walks like the John Muir Trail and the Kungsleden, and a vast spectrum in between.
-- Walking Distance: Extraordinary Hikes for Ordinary People by Robert and Martha Manning.
This books has me planning hiking vacations enough to fill up several decades. It is wonderful. And would make a great gift.
Walking Distance is oversized and full of gorgeous pictures of hiking trails all over the world. The husband/wife authors describe the hikes and the amenities (or lack of) along the routes. It is the perfect combination of practical guide and inspiration.
This one sounds lovely. I'm afraid I would treat it like I do cookbooks, i.e. like to look at the pictures but have no intention of cooking the dish (or taking the hike.) My teasers this week are from Hattie Ever After by Kirby Larson and Die for Me by Cynthia Eden. Happy reading!
This sounds like a terrific book. I walked a portion of the Camino de Santiago (from Leon to Santiago) several years ago and have hoped to someday take more long walks. Maybe this book will inspire me to get in shape and do it!
My Teaser is from SCARLET NIGHTS.
I've always been so intrigued by long distance hiking/walking, but my wimpiness about carrying lots of weight holds me back. I need a pack mule and I'd be good to go!
