Happy Labour Day long weekend!!! I hope you all have a excellent time celebrating the achievements of workers and the origins of the labour union movement, specifically the eight-hour day movement. Yay labour!
Out at dinner for our 1 year anniversary!
We got up Saturday morning, excited for the day ahead of us and to get ourselves energized we cleaned the house! Nothing says labour day like scrubbing a toilet. We were really trying to get back to the grass roots of the holiday. By that, I mean that Heather cleaned the house. In fairness, I've cleaned the house for the past two weeks because she was working on Saturdays so she cleaned the house so I could prepare a class I'm gonna be teaching this Wednesday at my buddy's business Totem Academy where I got to teach about making videos on a budget. Taking it back to my grass roots where I used pot lamps from Home Depot strapped to mic stands.
Once the house was in order we hopped on our bikes and headed out to find food in the trendy part of town but, like I said, upon arriving we found a line around a block and a tour guide telling a joke about Schwartz's for the 300th time so we instead went to this little Portuguese restaurant called Rotisserie Romados known for their Piri Piri chicken poutine and natas. We've talked about natas before in one of our previous blog posts but if you're unfamiliar with these tasty treats they are Portuguese egg tarts which originated from convents and monasteries in the 18th century. They would use egg whites for starching their laundry, and use the left-over yolks to make pastries and cakes, which resulted in pastel de nata becoming more and more popular throughout the country, since the monks would sell them to the public. Growing up, I would eat Chinese egg tarts but I've got to admit, the Portuguese do it better.
We've had Romados' chicken poutine before which is incredible so we changed it up and had the Churiço poutine with a chicken sandwich, salad and natas for dessert and went to a park to enjoy our splendor and were approached by an adorable little cat who came to keep us company while we ate. Heather grabbed a piece of chicken to give it to it as a treat but the cat misinterpreted the gesture and rubbed its head into the chicken. It quickly realized its mistake and chowed down and then hung around and let us pet it before disappearing in between bites of poutine.
After that we bought a basket for Heather's bike, which she's been wanting since she got a bike, and headed down to Old Montreal to the Basilique. It is such a stunning piece of architecture! You we always forget how breathtaking 18th century churches are to behold. Even more impressive is the fact that it was completed in only 35 months, working from April to October between 1824 and 1829. At the time of its inauguration, Notre-Dame Church was the largest house of worship of any religious denomination in North America. The carvings at the head of the cathedral and around the walls were stunning as well. One thing we loved was the abundance of female representation in their statues. So much of their influencing figures in the churches history were nuns. Another cool thing we learned, the three statues on the façade of the Basilica represent Montreal (the Virgin Mary), Quebec (Saint John the Baptist) and Canada (Saint Joseph).
Fun fact, The great “Jean-Baptiste” bell in the bell tower of the basilique weighs 24,000 pounds (11 tons). Learned something new today.
We went down to Costco afterwards to pick up some steaks and a 2kg strawberry rhubarb pie and headed to our friends the Hutchinson for some good ol' BBQing to close off the night. We can always count on them for good food. We had steaks with corn, egg plant, kale salad and pie and ice cream and, a little blast from the past, some Cool Whip! It was a good Saturday.
This coming week is a pretty important one. Friday will be exactly one year since Steven and I were married. We have been really looking forward to It and I have been thinking a lot lately about the last year here in Montreal. We have been richly blessed this year and have just known deeply in our souls that this is exactly where we should be. Everything aligned its self so perfectly when we first moved here, I don't know how we could have managed otherwise. People graciously opened their homes to us while we apartment hunted, we found the perfect place the first day we searched, they let us move in half way through the month, and quite by accident it was next to the metro and bike path. We couldn't have scripted it any better if we were writing how we wanted our lives to play out.
Also, I just feel like I need to brag about Steven a little. Life here would simply not be possible without all the hard work Steven puts in. He keeps our lives running smoothly, He dreams the big dreams for us, and holds me to a higher standard than I would settle for on my own. He keeps me silly, and makes me brave. He cooks 95% of the food we eat, does laundry and does it properly, and pretty much all our grocery shopping. He is our budget-er, and always pushing us to expand our horizons and take on more freelance clients as well as both our full time jobs. I know that as people grow old together, they tend to have different qualities that rub off on each other. I already know I will be a better person just by association with him, and can only hope some of his many wonderful qualities really do rub off on me. I feel so extremely privileged he is my husband. I have never met a more sensitive, thoughtful, loving man than Steven. He is a fearless adventurer and fiercely loyal friend.
Not everyone knows this, But while we were dating, we actually broke up for almost 5 months. During those 5 months, we still spent quite a lot of time together, not by choice but because we shared responsibilities at church. We had to see each other two or three times a week. There came a point where I didn't want anything to do with him anymore, because it hurt too bad to be just "friends" with him when I knew we were perfect for each other. One day I decided I had had enough, and it was time to cut him out of my life for good. I made the decision, I prayed about it on my walk home and pretty much said "this is what I want, stop me if I'm wrong." When I got home I opened up my scriptures and read "Thou shalt be diligent in preserving what thou hast, that thou mayest be a wise steward; for it is the free gift of the Lord thy God, and thou art his steward." I cried when I read this because I knew that I needed to keep struggling through with Steven. It payed off less than a month later, and I do feel like knowing and loving Steven has been the greatest most beautiful gift of all.
So here's to the happiest year of my life, and our one year aniversary... But most of all, here's to Steven, the man who makes my world spin round.
Chapter 34: Cheese and berries!
So the highlight of our week was by far the weekend! We grabbed some McDonalds and met up with a big group of friends on Saturday morning, to go berry picking at a nearby farm! Honestly I had no idea what the itinerary was, or what we had really signed up for. We did so much! There were between 15-20 of us I think, so we all piled into cars and drove off an hour out of Montreal to the most picturesque farm you could ever see. It has been pretty rainy here this season, so the ground was saturated and super muddy. We rode this super old rusty cart thingy, like a hay bale ride but instead of bales, you're sitting on slightly rotten wooden benches. I was a bit worried we would break one since there were so many of us piled back there. Steven was sitting on my lap and that man has some sharp bones!
While we were nearing the end of our picking, the daughter of one of our friend's decided she and I were new bestfriends. She is so sweet, and took my hand to go find more berries for her little bucket. I am not entirely sure why we became friends, but I love it! Who knows with kids right?
We took the tractor ride back from the field, and the bench I and two others were sitting on actually did break!!! It was so bad! The wood was rotted through, and the metal supports had rusted through, so really it was a matter of time. We felt awful though, because no one likes to be sitting on something while it breaks... dang..
After we bought the berries we picked (blueberries and raspberries) and we bought some strawberries because I could NOT resist. It was the first day they were being sold since it has been so rainy! They're really late this year, but let me tell you, the taste is well worth that wait!!! All the berries were incredible.
The couple who had the idea for this day trip treated us all to something called "Pet de Soeurs" Which is a classic French Canadian pastry. The name translates to "Nun's farts" what??? Yeup. Like Catholic nuns. farts. What the heck French Canadians! You constantly surprise and delight us. The pastry is like if you wanted to make cinnamon rolls, but had pie crust instead of bread. Which tastes as wonderful as you're thinking it will! They are sticky and flakey and sooooo delicious. It has been confirmed, nuns officially have the best farts (not that I ever doubted this of course) Thanks to Heidi!
After berries we visited Fort Lennox. Parks are free right now for Canada 150, which was great! It was pretty cool, an old British army posting from 1812ish. We went up into the barracks and saw the officer's apartments, and stuff. My favourite part was the inspection, where an actor dressed as an officer came out and inspected the kids as new recruits. Then he demonstrated the firing of a riffle a few times, and actually fired it with blackpowder and stuff! The flames that shot out are so cool.
We visited an awesome cheese shop, and bought way too much cheese after we left Fort Lennox. We took our fruits, and cheese and bought baguettes and meat and made a picnic of it out by the river. It was truely lovely. Afterwards, we all felt the need to visit an icecream shop back in Montreal. We drove home (Devin stayed awake like a champ!) Our car was all pretty sleepy and fighting it bravely with different degrees of success.
The icecream was incredible. I got rasberry icecream DIPPED IN ORANGE CHOCOLATE. It is my new favorite flavor combination. Good thing that shop is super far from our house haha.
We went home shortly after this and practised a musical number we had been asked to preform at church. Its a french hymn called "Souviens-toi" and its really quite lovely. We have attached a recording for you if you wanna hear our nervous voices haha. Anyways it was a great weekend!! We had another picnic just with me, Steven, Amber, Devin and Pam today. It was the perfect temperature, and we just ate and then all lounged around under the trees talking and laughing. At one point point Pam said "Right now, there is literally no where I would rather be" and I think it was exactly what I was thinking. I will definetly cherish this weekend, it was one to remember for sure.

Welcome to Shangri-La International Festival of Gastronomy! The festival is a celebration of our passion for cuisine. We have invited our celebrity chefs to share their fruitful and exciting culinary careers with you.
This series comes to an end with Chef Ip Chi Cheung, the Executive Chinese Chef of Island Shangri-La, Hong Kong.
1. What makes you keep your enthusiasm to contribute in Gastronomy of Cantonese Cuisine?
Ip: In my perspective, the key element of Cantonese Cuisine is the mixture of Appearance, Smells, Tastes and Temperature which is not easily replaced by other cuisines. For instance, the cooking process of Fusion Cuisine requires separate processing and pre-processing of the ingredients. Perhaps I first started my career in Cantonese Cuisine; I personally think dishes in other cuisines are lack in temperature and aroma, which is unique in Cantonese Cuisine, such as stewed fish and braised abalone.
2. What are you going to achieve in the coming stage?
Ip: Being a chef for many years, I sincerely hope that the young generation can be interested in working as a chef of Cantonese Cuisine. We can share our experiences with them so that the cooking culture of traditional Cantonese Cuisine can be inherited. In the current situation, the industry lacks in manpower because the number of the young generation’ intake is consistently declining. In 1970’s-1980’s, especially for illegal immigrants, working in the kitchen is favorable because it provides meals, accommodation, and salary. Nowadays, working in the kitchen is unfavorable to the young generation because of its long working hours and uncomfortable working condition.
To emphasize, the youth are more familiarized with English and IT knowledge which allow them to use this absolute advantage to bring Cantonese Cuisine on an international stage. Due to the factor of manpower getting less in the industry, there are numerous training programmes with job opportunities in some institute to help the youth upgrade and obtain skills in Cantonese Cuisine. In order words, it is full of learning and promotion opportunities. The determining factor is the attitude, you have to take it seriously and keep practicing the techniques you have learned.
3. Where did you start your Chef Career? Could you share something unique and inspiring food culture to us?
Ip: I started my Chef Career in a Chinese restaurant when I was fourteen. In terms of food culture, people are more concerned with healthy diet nowadays. Customers will look for meals that are healthy and light. Comparing to 70s’ and 80’s, many foods and meals are containing lard as it adds aroma to the food. Back in 70’s and 80’s, chef normally wear less cloth to work, because inside the kitchen is a poorly ventilated workplace, it is wet and hot to work in the kitchen. Nowadays, people put more emphasis on working environment in the kitchen. For instance, the ventilation system is installed and uniforms are prepared for Chef.
4. What would you tell our young Chef?
Ip: In order to be a Chef, two main attributes are required: earnest and enthusiastic. I suggest young Chef spend time on practicing their own technique as this industry is full of opportunities. There are many types of meals in Cantonese Cuisine, making good use of ingredients and cooking methods in another country can enrich the content of Cantonese Cuisine, such as Foie Gras from France, Wagyu Beef from Japan and Black Truffle etc. Furthermore, there are many existing resources to learn cooking. Young Chef can learn fundamental skills in cooking institutes. If they are pursuing advance skills, they are advised to learn practically from different Chef in Chinese restaurant and hotels. As different Chef may have different processing skills, they have to absorb other’s strength which is beneficial to their own creation.
Today’s article comes with Chef Mauro Colagreco, the founder of AZUR by Mauro Colagreco at Shangri-La Hotel, Beijing.
What makes you keep your enthusiasm to contribute in Gastronomy?
A true unconditional love for food, first quality raw material and driving desire to explore flavors.
What are you going to achieve in the coming stage?
It would be an incredible honour to be an inspiration for young chefs, this is my coming stage. Everything I achieved until now is result of my constant aim: make the most out of every ingredient to serve my clients the best food I can cook.
Where did you start your Chef Career? Could you share something unique and inspiring food culture there (starting place) to us?
I started in my native country, Argentina. After a foggy period when I did not know what to do with my life, I just remembered as a child I loved cooking and suddenly I got the picture, I decided to follow that enlightenment. Something unique to which I am attached is an ingredient that is part of my family history: figs. The sister of grandmother migrate from Italy to Argentina, bringing with her a branch of fig, as cultural memory of her family and Italy. Once arrived, she immediately planted it. Hence why figs have a special meaning to me.
What would you tell our young Chef?
A chef’s career means a lot of hard work and dedication. Stay focused and never, never give up. If this is your path it will come out and you will be rewarded!
The third chef will be Chef Samuel Lee, another Executive Chinese Chef at Shangri-La Hotel, Paris.
1. What makes you keep your enthusiasm to contribute in Gastronomy?
I believed that food brings joy to people. As a chef who has the ability to cheer and touch people through enjoying food, bring me so much satisfaction thus I never bored with my job.
No particular goal, just keep improving myself to achieve other and another higher level.
3. Where did you start your Chef Career? Could you share something unique and inspiring food culture there to us?
I started my career path in my homeland, Hong Kong. Roasted suckling pig is really something worth sharing. For the technical part, roasting a suckling pig is a big production, steps involved including the special butchery method、seasoning、marinating 、brushing skin、drying the pig and roasting, the entire process reflecting the art of Chinese cooking.
According to the information has been documented in ancient times, roast suckling pig has a long history, it appeared since the period of northern and southern dynasty (AD 420 to 589 AD). This is the beauty of preserving food culture heritage.
Determined and never give up! Also, always enjoy cooking. If you want to be a good Chef, there is no secret or short cut; you have to be hard working, very hard working.
This time comes up with Chef Christophe Moret, Executive Chef at Shangri-La Hotel, Paris.
In our job it’s all about sharing. I am going with my knowledge and also learn and share with other Chefs.
3. How did you start your Chef Career?
I started my career in 1984. I had the chance to work with 3 renewed Chefs: Bruno Cirino, Jacques Maximin and Alain Ducasse. They taught me this enthralling job and this is what I want to keep doing with my teams.
While I was Chef at the Plaza Athénée Hotel in Paris, I received for a banquet; all 3 starred Michelin Star Chefs in Europe. I also had the chance to cook for our Presidents. I love this job because we have to go towards excellence.
4. What would you tell our young Chefs?
Work hard and keep curious. It is important to be aware that there will always be someone who works harder than us to become the best.
And also keep in mind the sharing part. With our guests, our producers, colleagues… I love this job and we have to do it with passion.
First up is Chef Mok Kit Keung, Executive Chinese Chef in Kowloon Shangri-La, Hong Kong.
The motivation comes from my guests. Our Shangri-La philosophy is to provide an engaging hospitality experience as one would expect from a caring family. What could be better and more enjoyable than cooking for your own family members? The idea keeps propelling my enthusiasm and motivates me to provide uniquely personalized and thoughtful gastronomy experiences to our guests as I welcome them to my ‘home’.
To continue to excel from the Michelin two-star award by increasing the service standard and food quality to attain Michelin three-star award is the next-stage goal to achieve.
How did you start your culinary career?
I started my culinary career in a local Chinese restaurant when I was at the young age of 14. My uncle was the restaurant’s chef and he brought me there as a helper. I started from the most junior position, working from nine in the morning till mid-night every day. I started with cleaning the kitchen and keeping the place tidy and organized – I could only learn the skills and practice cooking and chopping techniques after the shift ends.
What would you tell our young Chefs?
The most important thing is attitude. Positive attitude towards your job and loving what you do will make you respect the food you create and work hard towards reaching your dream. Furthermore, always learn from others’ experiences and from own past experience; it could motivate you to search for new ideas on food creativity. Be serious and give your best in every dish you create, as you don’t know when the opportunity would come.

Metallic makeup madness is in full swing for summer 2017—which means it’s time to brush up on your makeup skills to bring this glitzy look to life. Whether you want to learn how to apply metallic eye shadow, metallic lipstick, or shimmery highlighter, we’ve got you covered with the L’Oréal Paris products you’ll need to get glowing—along with step-by-step instructions for applying metallic makeup all over your face.
To start your all-over metallic makeup look, it’s all about acing your base.
Step 2: Color correct. Use the green concealer hue in the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Total Cover Color Correcting Kit to help neutralize the appearance of summer-related redness.
Step 3: Apply foundation. Reach for a radiant-finish foundation, like the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation. Apply it with the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Blend Artist Foundation Blender.
Step 4: Help brighten the look of your eyes. Apply the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Glow Concealer in inverted triangles underneath your eyes. Use the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Blend Artist Concealer Blender to blend it in for a natural-looking radiance.
Step 5: Add a touch of highlighter. There’s just something about perfectly glow-y bone structure that leaves us swooning. To get the look, apply a small amount of the L’Oréal Paris True Match™ Lumi Liquid Glow Illuminator in Ice onto the high points of your cheekbones and down the bridge of your nose. Congrats—your face is officially part of the metallic makeup party.
Now that you’re done putting on your face makeup, it’s time to let your eyes in on the fun with some metallic eye shadow. Whereas you’ve just applied a toned-down version of the metallic makeup trend to your face, your eyes are about to steal the show in highly-pigmented hues.
Step 1: Prime your lids. No eye primer on hand? No problem! Simply blend a dab of the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Glow Concealer onto your lids.
Step 2: Apply metallic eye shadow. When it comes to wearing metallic eye shadow, it’s a good idea to stick to one color and contain it to just your lids. When you blend more than one metallic eye shadow shade together, it can look overdone and overwhelm your face. So, pick your shade of choice from the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Paints Metallics Eye Shadow collection and get to work on your upper lids!
Step 3: Dust metallic eye shadow under your eyes. Another poppin’ trend of 2017 is under-eye makeup. To get this extra-stylish look, apply some of the same metallic eye shadow to your lower lash line.
Step 4: Line your lids. Line your eyes with the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Paints Eyeliner in Black Party. Feel free to flick your line up a slight bit at the end for a retro cat eye.
While matte lipstick certainly has its time and place, this summer we’re loving the look of metallic lipstick. It’s time to get your sparkle on!
Step 1: Use a lip scrub and primer. You primed your face and your eyes—so do the same for your lips before reaching for your metallic lipstick. First, use a lip scrub to help exfoliate dead skin cell buildup from the surface of your lips, then follow up by swiping on a lip primer.
Step 2: Apply your metallic lipstick. The best way to apply the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Paints/Lips Metallic is to start at your cupid’s bow and work your way out to the corners of your mouth, followed by a single swipe from corner to corner on your bottom lip.
You’re ready to shine now! Loving this makeup trend? We’ve got you covered with even more metallic makeup ideas.

"I Served the King of England" is at once a semi-fantastical encapsulation of Czech history and a Chaplinesque fable of a hapless antihero swept along by fate and selfishly adapting to the whims of power and wealth.
Directed and written by Jirí Menzel and based on a book by famous Czech novelist Bohumil Hrabal, "I Served the King of England" is an award-winning minor masterpiece that harks back to some of the true foreign classics of '70s European and Eastern European cinema.
It is reminiscent of Wertmuller's "Seven Beauties," at turns comedic and bittersweet in its portrayal of war, romance and a life that is all about survival.
The film begins with an older Jan Dite (Oldrich Kaiser) being released from a 15-year stint in prison. As he settles into an abandoned German pub in the wilderness of the Czech Republic, Jan Dite begins to narrate his life, and the film becomes a series of riveting flashbacks.

After finding just three points in their first four Championship fixtures, manager David Hockaday has found his position under threat at Leeds United.
Massimo Cellino revealed earlier this week that he was planning to give the former Forest Green Rovers boss his marching orders after the Whites’ third defeat campaign against Watford on Saturday, before a sudden change of heart.
But despite Cellino’s U-turn, it’s no secret that Hockaday has been given a stay of execution at Elland Road and results will have to significantly improve over the next few weeks.
We at Football Fancast however believe Leeds should be sticking with the 56 year-old, not least because he was hired less than two months ago!
A poor workman blames his tools. That old adage should not be forgotten.
But it’s no secret that David Hockaday has played almost no part in Leeds United’s summer recruitment, and owner Massimo Cellino has hardly graced him with a roster of top second tier talents, worthy of a genuine promotion push.
For example, Ross McCormack, who was not only the Championship’s top scorer last season but also won the Players’ Player of the Year and Fans’ Player of the Year awards at Elland Road, is yet to be adequately replaced following his £11million move to Fulham. At this point, it’s likely he won’t be replaced at all.
Shocking stuff. Hockaday’s squad is filled with players, many of which he’s likely never heard of, from the Italian leagues that are yet to prove themselves English second tier. Can he really be expected to produce managerial miracles when the quality of the Leeds squad is so open to debate?
Not every player needs time to settle and adapt to a new league but the vast majority of them do.
Just take a look at Tottenham last season; their slump down the Premiership table was obviously linked to the fact they’d spent £110million on seven players during the summer 2013 transfer window that had never set foot in the English game before.
Well, Leeds find themselves in a comparable situation. Nicky Ajose, Liam Cooper and Billy Sharp may be well acquainted with the English game but Marco Silvestri, Guiseppe Bellusci Tommaso Bianchi, Gaetano Berardi, Mirco Antenucci, Souleymane Doukara and Casper Sloth, the former five sourced from the Italian leagues, are certainly not.
These players will inevitably need time to adjust. The contrasting pace of Serie A and Serie B in comparison to the Championship is no great secret and they can’t be expected to all hit the ground running. In fact, that would constitute a borderline managerial miracle from David Hockaday.
Furthermore, Antenucci and Sloth have only joined the club within the last week. It could take a good few months for all these new signings to gel.
It’s often forgotten that managers are a lot like players. Some take to the dugout naturally, but there is still an obvious process of development and improvement as they hone their skills.
Thus, Leeds fans should not think of David Hockaday as simply a manager lacking in credentials, due to the fact he was sourced from Forest Green Rovers, where admittedly, he hardly excelled.
Rather, they should consider the enormous strides the 56 year-old is having to make to get himself up to Championship standard. That process could well take some time, but a handful of games isn’t enough evidence to decide upon Hockaday’s potential as a manager.
Like any youngster at the Whites academy, Hockaday needs experience and opportunities. Who knows – this time next year he could have transformed into the best manager in the division.
It’s only been four games!
Calm down. Do not panic. You can’t win the league title or confirm your own relegation in the first four games of the season.
As you can see, at this moment in time, it’s completely crazy. Charlton in 5th?! Millwall in 9th?! Wigan in 18th and Fulham at the bottom of the table?! Who would have predicted that back at the start of August?
Only a madman or Nostradamus. That’s about it. And only a madman or Nostradamus would expect the season to finish with the table looking as it does right now.
Leeds have endured a poor start but there’s still 41 games to recover. Sunderland lost nine of their first 16 games at the start of the 2006/07 campaign yet ended the season as Champions.
Massimo Cellino has fired more people than Alan Sugar. During his 22-year reign as Cagliari boss, he’s sacked no more than 36 different managers. Astounding. That’s 0.14 different managers per month.
And after doing away with Brian McDermott at the end of last season, sending David Hockaday packing after just four league games would set a terrible precedent for Leeds’ immediate future.
The most successful clubs at Championship level have always been those who stick with their managers for at least a couple of seasons. Sean Dyche at Burnley and Nigel Pearson at Leciester are just two recent examples.
Leeds need to be moving closer towards that model rather than shying away from it, and supporting Hockaday’s abrupt departure would give Cellino licence to hire and fire at will.
Talk about ousting David Hockaday is all well and good, but who would actually be prepared to succeed the Leeds manager at Elland Road?
The Whites gig is already widely viewed as a poisoned chalice due to the understandable yet pressurising expectations of the fanbase, and Massimo Cellino’s well-documented influence on managerial affairs will make the hot seat an even less envious prospect.
If Hockaday were to be sacked, it seems unlikely Cellino would bring in a heavyweight replacement – he’d clearly prefer another relative unknown, of the Hockaday mould, that can’t command too much individual power.
Sacking Hockaday could also lead to a scenario where the Whites are left managerless for a sustained period, which would hardly improve the Yorkshire outfit’s league form.
Hockaday may not be the best manager to ever grace Elland Road but be warned – his replacement could be considerably worse, if Cellino finds one at all. You wouldn’t put it past the Italian to place himself in the dugout.

Your shower curtain gets filthy and smelly over time, but the good news is, it's easy enough to clean. Just toss it in the wash.
Throw in some regular detergent or bicarbonate of soda along with a few towels with the liner to help scrub away the toughest stains.
It's a simple enough household tip, and a good reminder to clean that filthy thing every now and then.
There's no way in hell I'd throw towels in with a shower curtain. In my experience, mould is the biggest culprit for funky smelling shower curtains and it will transfer some of it to your towels, making them smell bad, trust me I've tried it. Usually, depending on how long it's been between washes, the mould will be invisible, but when it gets visible, all you need to do is spray some mould killer or diluted bleach on it. You can then either keep using it or better still, when the mould is dead, wash it by itself, with some soap powder and maybe a little more bleach.

If one needs to know how to write a perfect college essay, it is necessary to figure out what is usually required for it. There are minimum 250 words and no upper limit as a rule, and they must contain something to produce an impression. This distinguishes a person from other candidates if it’s a vivid story written in a good language. It has few in common with school essays, considering this or that statement. College essays must be complex, trying to show a full theme of an event. Using them admission officers choose the best ones for continuing their studies.
Be ready to surprise with a fresh plot or to give a colorful description. Those, who read your essay, don’t have much time, only several minutes. During this interval, they must understand what you are capable of relying upon your own words. Whether your life is mainly full of household trivialities or you are lucky to experience something outstanding from time to time? Is there anything astonishing about your neighbor, or people around you are just moving objects? Have you already invented the time machine or just plan another discovery. All those things may play their role in your admission.
other situations, which you probably wouldn’t ask your mother to read.
Such themes must be avoided.
Things which may become the subject of your essay are not necessary daily experiences. It may be some experiment or rare observation. Once we came across with a recollection of an admission officer about one story. According to it, the author didn’t write about his achievements, family or favorite dish. He described in details how he had put a ping-pong ball in the microwave and what had happened then. And this idea singled him out of other candidates in the officer’s mind.
Text, which is written in a descriptive manner, may be good, but not so fascinating as a story in a detective genre. “A time when I first experienced what is breaking rules may be considered a case when I first was beaten by my sister”.
The same situation could have been presented in a more lively manner. “Ice-cream was very tasty. When my sister turned away, I took the second piece from her plate and ate it. As soon as she discovered it, she grabbed my hair and screamed that I committed a crime and must be punished.” Here’s a real narrative which grips attention.
So, controversy is welcome, too. In school, we often just sort out one example, and often it’s something right. But life is diverse and everyone has his own truth. It will be useful if you disagree with something and make your own stand. Giving arguments and reasons is important in essay writing for college. Admission officers pay attention to your own opinion because a college is a place for discussions. Don’t write another dull story, even if your life is joyless at the moment. Turn on the imagination.
People read what you write and get an idea of your abilities. Do your best to show them that you are worth being admitted to the college. A good language will help you to achieve this aim. Don’t use complex expressions, long sentences, and terms which make to open dictionaries to understand them. Easy language is half the success. On the other hand, don’t look too primitive. Think about the circle of people in which you will communicate. Keep the balance between what you say and how you express it in words.
One of the rules of a perfect college essay is consistency. There must be logic in your story. Start writing about one thing and go on talking about it during the whole work, even if sometimes you need to step aside for describing details. This makes your composition a complete work. It goes without saying that your grammar and punctuation should remain at high level. They are one of elements, which make your story clear. Show, that you are not only full of ideas but also can bring them to the audience.
If you enter a college it doesn’t mean that you will spend all the time writing research work. There are discussions, competitions and simply an everyday life.
You become a member of the society in which communication is inevitable. While writing an essay for college cause a desire to talk to you, to ask you questions, to argue with you or share your point of view. They say that truth is born in disputes. Write your story so, that it could cause disputes about its subject or wish to exchange a few words with you.
something that is precious for the community of seeking people, which you are going to join.
At least you want to be chosen for studies at this college very much, and it means that writing a good college essay is your chance to attract attention. Think of something that could convenience college representatives to have business with you.
Trying to make a story vivid you can describe different funny situations. It’s a great advantage of your work if it contains humorous episodes. But people are different, and what seems funny to you, may perplex another man. So, be careful with humor. Use a joke if you are really sure that it will be laughed at. Tell an anecdote, but don’t be carried away by fun. Remember that you are writing an essay for college students. You are not a comedian but a future researcher, who is serious about the results of his works.
If you demonstrate ingenuity in your essay, there are more chances to attract the attention of admission officers. The quality of being clever, original and inventive is what a real student must have. In fact, showing all these qualities in the essay is the secret of its success. Choose a case in your life which allows demonstrating all those features. Your essay is some kind of quintessence of your experience and a starting point for new achievements at the same time. Look at the subject you describe from different angles. Cook it like a delicacy with an unforgettable taste.
Too many emotions may spoil the dish. Even if you are highly inspired by the idea of the story, try to keep the balance between your feelings and facts. A reader wants to get some information from your story, and it must be more than just ‘wows’. A college is a ground for intellectual work and the rule “trust but check” works here as it works nowhere else. It means that it’s better to have arguments for almost every statement. And doubt is more welcome than euphoria.
There are different ways to help writing college essays. But the most important thing is to remember what the work is being done for.
The story demonstrates the ability to reflect, and this demands a healthy share of skepticism. So, if, for example, the subject of an essay is ‘Are we alone?’, the statement will mostly confirm that ‘Yes, we are’, because the opposite is not proved by science, yet. But surely there are testimonies which must be checked until the final conclusion is made.
First of all, remember that you are short of space. Several minutes, which admission officers spend on reading essays, don’t give much time as well as much space for writing. It means that epigraphs, which some authors consider necessary to start with, may be omitted. If you are really writing the perfect college admission essay, be sure that it is in past tense. The present is not good for the purpose of telling a good story. You can see this from the majority of well known literary works.
Experts also recommend avoiding metaphors or quotations which are widely used. Perhaps, it’s hardly possible to impress a reader by an observation like “there’s nothing new under the sun”. You must be accurate not only with the content but with the form into which you put it, too. Make sentences readable, put parts of speech in their usual places, don’t finish with prepositions and start with “because”, “and” or “but”. And surely avoid plagiarism, because the things you are writing must show your uniqueness.
At the same time, the best way to understand how to write an essay for college is to read similar works by other authors.
Only it’s important to choose the best ones in order to use the experience of the people, who really succeeded in their efforts.
During studying such works pay attention to their vocabulary, style, themes, number of words and ways of expressing ideas. Maybe you can find something which is close to you and rely on it while writing your own essay. And, vice versa, you may find something that you likely should avoid in your story, which is very useful, too.
You see, essays of other people become some kind of a reference point. They show the way you must go. But when you write your own story, you do your own steps, which underline, that you are a unique individual. That’s why it’s important not to copy them, but to say honestly to yourself what you like and dislike in these works. Use other examples to make your own plan and write a balanced piece. Be sure, that the main secret of your success is your sincere interest in the topic, that you describe, and confidence that you want to know about it more in the college.

Movses Pogossian's follow up release to his Bach Sonatas and Partitas recording on New Focus explores three works for solo violin that are inspired by those iconic pieces. Featuring solo music by Kaija Saariaho, Gabriela Lena Frank, and Andrew McIntosh, Pogossian's powerful performances carry the spirit of this most intimate of instrumentations forward, connecting the listener with Bach and extending the legacy of the unaccompanied string works.
Movses Pogossian’s “Inspired by Bach” documents three new works that follow in the inescapable shadow of Bach’s music for unaccompanied violin. Two of the works presented here (Saariaho and McIntosh), inspired as they are by Bach’s pieces, incorporate elements which enhance the solo violin while Gabriela Lena Frank’s preserves the unaccompanied format.
Saariaho’s Frises for violin and live electronics opens with a drone over which lyricism and instability alternate in free, improvisatory passages. Electronic sounds emerge periodically, splashing the texture with glistening timbres. Saariaho writes that the second section, “Frise de Fleurs”, is based on a ground bass — more active electronics establish a multi-dimensional texture. Delays define the electronic part in the third movement, processing more active and angular violin material. Saariaho writes that she aimed not to create symmetry in her development of this material, but instead constant metamorphosis. The final part, “Frise Grise”, is eerie and processional, as Saariaho develops a passacaglia in the accompanimental left hand pizzicati on three strings, while the haunting melody is played on the fourth string and doubled down the octave in the electronics.
Gabriela Lena Frank’s Suite Mestiza is inspired by the richness of the Andean culture in South America. Frank’s movements of the suite are programmatic and colorful, each painting a picture of a different scene or character from the diverse landscape of the Andes. The imploring voice of a street vendor can be heard in the insistent double stops and the descending scale passages in the second movement, “Vendedora Cholita”. The third movement evokes the high pitched plucked string instrument, the charango, humorously depicting it in the hands of a quirky elderly performer. Fleet fireflies ubiquitous in Peru are portrayed in the virtuosic final movement, “Luciérnagas”.
Andrew McIntosh’s seven movement Sheer for solo violin adds four assisting performers playing bowed wine glasses. The work opens with a vigorous fifteen second outburst that echoes the bariolage passagework in Bach’s solo violin works — perhaps the aggression heard in these phrases is indicative of McIntosh’s desire to break away from the master’s all pervasive shadow. The rest of the movement is a meditation on sustained tones, an about-face from the initial forceful gesture. We hear echoes of Bach’s implied counterpoint in the second and sixth movements as well, while the fourth movement is an exploration of intervals and their microtonal shadings, as if turning an object in one’s hand and looking at it from all possible angles. The fifth movement opens as the first did, with a short burst of energetic, violinistic activity followed by a meditation on one pitch. Later in the movement, the bowed wine glasses provide pedal harmonies, liberating the solo violinist to return to the intense physicality of the opening gesture. The piece closes with a movement similar to the fourth, a meditation on pitch with bowed wine glass accompaniment.
The three works on this recording touch on aesthetics new and old, from Saariaho’s incorporation of older formal techniques such as passacaglia within a context that integrates live electronics, Frank’s colorful depiction of Andean life, and McIntosh’s stark exploration of the essence of violin sound production, “Inspired by Bach” is a thoughtful and reflective look at contemporary approaches to composition for solo violin. Movses Pogossian’s performances are lyrical and deeply expressive, and he is the ideal ambassador for this repertoire that marries experimentation with tradition, and exploration with communication.
Armenian-born violinist Movses Pogossian made his American debut with the Boston Pops in 1990, about which Richard Dyer of the Boston Globe wrote: “There is freedom in his playing, but also taste and discipline. It was a ery, centered, and highly musical performance.” He was a prizewinner at the 1986 Tchaikovsky International Competition, and the youngest ever first-prize winner of the 1985 USSR National Violin Competition, whose previous winners included David Oistrakh and Gidon Kremer. He has performed extensively as a soloist and recitalist in Europe, North America and Asia, and was artist-in-residence of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra during their 2016/17 season. An avid chamber musician, Pogossian has collaborated with such artists as Jeremy Denk, Kim Kashkashian and Alexei Lubimov, and with members of the Tokyo, Kronos and Brentano String Quartets. A committed champion of new music, he has premiered over seventy works, many of them written for him. He has worked closely with composers such as György Kurtág, Tigran Mansurian, John Harbison and Augusta Read Thomas. At Kurtág’s invitation, Pogossian made his Darmstadt Festival debut in 2008, performing Kafka Fragments to critical acclaim. In Los Angeles, Pogossian is the Artistic Director of the Dilijan Chamber Music series, now in its fourteenth season, and frequently performs with the acclaimed series Monday Evening Concerts. He was a recipient of the 2011 Forte Award, given by the new-music organization Jacaranda for his outstanding contributions in this eld. Movses Pogossian’s discography includes several CDs for solo violin, including the recently released recording of the Complete Sonatas and Partitas by J.S. Bach, Blooming Sounds, and In Nomine, as well as György Kurtág’s Kafka Fragments, with soprano Tony Arnold.
In his review of Kafka Fragments, Paul Grif ths writes “ . . . remarkable is Pogossian’s contribution, which is always beautiful, across a great range of colors and gestures, and always seems on the edge of speaking—or beyond.” In 2015, Pogossian’s recording of composer Stefan Wolpe’s Complete Works for Violin (Bridge Records) was included in the Top Ten list of the Sunday Times (UK), and in 2018, the Bridge label will release a lmed performance on DVD of chamber music by Arnold Schoenberg and Anton Webern. The centerpiece of this presentation is one of Schoenberg’s most important works—his String Trio, Op. 45, performed by Pogossian, violist Kim Kashkashian and cellist Rohan de Saram—which was recorded for this DVD in Schoenberg’s Brentwood home, in the very room in which it was composed. Pogossian’s upcoming CD releases include another collaboration with Kim Kashkashian: a compilation of chamber works by Armenian composer Tigran Mansurian. Since earning advanced degrees in music from the Komitas Conservatory in Armenia and the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow, Pogossian has held teaching positions at a number of universities in the US, and is currently Professor of Violin Studies at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music. Deeply committed to both music education and community involvement, Pogossian proudly participates in the Music for Food Project, which raises awareness of world hunger, allowing performers and listeners alike to experience the powerful role which music can play as a catalyst for change.
Armenian-born violinist Movses Pogossian released for New Focus Recordings in 2017 ‘Six Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin’. With the follow up, ‘Inspired by Bach’, he presents three compositions from three composers: Frises (2011) by Kaija Saariaho, Suite Mestiza (2017) by Gabriela Lena Frank, and Sheer (2017) by Andrew McIntosh. The points out that Bach was a point of departure – in whatever way – for the composers involved here. Frises consists of four contrasting sections for violin and electronics. Suite Mestiza takes inspiration from the mixed-race cultures of Peru. Sheer is a suite of also seven small pieces for solo violin and eight wine glasses played by four musicians. All three are interesting and absolutely worthwhile compositions that are performed superbly by the playing and interpretation by Pogossian. He gives a very warm, expressive and moving performance. Pure beauty!
Links between past and present are central to another solo recital, as violinist Movses Pogossian follows up his 2017 release of the Bach Solo Sonatas and Partitas with Inspired by Bach, a CD that features three new works that he feels “follow in the inescapable shadow of Bach’s music for unaccompanied violin… connecting the listener with Bach and extending the legacy of the unaccompanied string works.” The connection with Bach may be a bit tenuous at times, but they certainly do fulfill the latter aim.
Kaija Saariaho’s four-movement Frises starts with the final D of the Bach D-Minor Chaconne, and each of the movements is focused on one historical ostinato-variation form – passacaglia or chaconne, for instance. In a concert setting, prepared sound materials are triggered by the soloist during the performance, together with real-time processing of the violin sound. Not here, though: Pogossian recorded the violin part alone, with Jean-Baptiste Barrière adding the electronics afterwards. It’s a tough listen at times, but always engrossing.
The American composer and pianist Gabriela Lena Frank’s Suite Mestiza was inspired by South American Andean culture, in particular sights and sounds remembered from trips to Peru with her mother. Described as programmatic and colourful, the seven movements depict scenes and characters from the Andes region. It’s imaginative and wide-ranging writing that draws quite remarkable playing from Pogossian. You can watch his performance on YouTube.
The American composer and violinist Andrew McIntosh says that his seven-movement work was partly inspired by the idea of juxtaposing different, clearly defined but unconnected shapes and colours. Certainly his Shasta starts that way, a fast and bustling opening that recalls the bariolage passages in the Bach works, followed by a still, long-held single note. An unexpected addition is the scoring for eight wine glasses bowed by four performers; they make their most noticeable contribution in the final movement, giving the work a peaceful ending that sounds like gentle breathing.
Whatever the technical or musical challenges, nothing seems to create problems for Pogossian, who is quite superb throughout a terrific CD.

St. Johns County on Wednesday was named fifth on CNN Money’s list of “2013 Best Places to Live: Where the Jobs Are.” It said the county’s “vitals were strong” and cited job growth from 2010 to 2012 as 12.1 percent.
That statement backs up St. Johns County Chamber of Commerce figures showing that 92 percent of the workforce have high school diplomas, 35 percent have associates or bachelor degrees and 12 percent have masters or doctoral degrees.
The unemployment rate here was 9.2 percent in 2010, but this year is 5.5 percent, he said.
The CNN report said opportunities in clean manufacturing are big here.
That news also dovetails Gregory’s belief that the airport is an economic engine all on its own.
The Grumman E-2D Hawkeye is an all-weather, carrier-capable tactical airborne early warning aircraft and it’s one of Northrop Grumman’s top business products.
Gregory cites the company’s newly opened center of excellence here.

Hi. Vince Oldre, Certified Financial Planner. If you are in or near retirement, and you have money in the stock market, or money at risk, then you need to stick around and watch this video. This will help you to understand the sequence of returns and sequence of risk, and how that impacts your income in retirement.
Now, what I have here are two different people. I have Jane and John, and they’re actually going to have the same amount of money. They’re going to have a million dollars. They’re going to have a 7% average gain, and they’re going to actually change the order of those returns and losses. Now, they’re both going to take out $50,000 every single year, and that $50,000 is going to increase with inflation by 3%.
What we’re going to do is we’re going to have Jane. She’s going to have positive returns at the beginning, and then some negative returns at the end. What we’re going to do with John is we’re going to have him have the same returns, but we’re going to start with negative returns at the beginning, and have positive returns toward the end. If we look at what happens, Jane is going to end up with $1.7 million at the end of 20 years, versus John is going to actually be out of money by year 19. So what happened?
Well, this risk is what separated him from his money. This risk is what caused him to have those significant drops, but then he’s still taking money out of the portfolio. These returns can never help him catch up to get back to break even. This is how much of a difference the accumulation phase, or the distribution phase, are so much more different than each other, so when you are in or near retirement, you have to change the way you allocate your investments so that you can reduce the risks so you do not end up like John.
If you have any other questions about how a sequence of returns or sequence of risk works, and you want me to try to take more of the financial jargon out of this video, please let us know and we’ll be more than happy to help you out. But what I want you to get out of this video is that you have to look at the distribution phase of your retirement much differently than you do with your accumulation phase. You must know that the sequence of these returns, it doesn’t matter the average return, at 7%, the sequence of those returns, meaning in which order they came, will significantly impact the outlook of your retirement when you’re taking income from your portfolio.
I appreciate you watching this video. If you have any questions, please reach out and we’ll do another video for you, but I appreciate you watching, and I look forward to speaking to you next time.

It’s true that some gear required for a successful business trip can be pricey. Suitcases, travel bags, and noise-canceling headphones are all important and may cost a pretty penny. But the majority of items that help make a good business travel experience are budget-friendly! Here are 20 business travel accessories under $20.
1. Compression socks. These are a must-have for any international trip or long travel day. They keep your feet and ankles from swelling and lessen the risk of deep-vein thrombosis.
2. Emergen-C. Perfect to help ward off sickness and give you a boost of energy.
3. Lip balm. Crucial to keep your lips from getting dry in the arid airplane air.
4. Water bottle. Hydration is key on any trip, and especially international for a business trip. Keep up with your water intake and minimize trash with a reusable water bottle.
5. Travel scarf. The ultimate multi-tasker! Use as a blanket, pillow, napkin, swimsuit cover-up, or, you know, a scarf.
6. Travel umbrella. Takes up almost no room but can save your bacon if there’s an unexpected rainstorm.
7. Jockey Skimmies. A great way to minimize chafing, smooth your midsection, and protect yourself from too-close TSA patdowns anytime you wear a dress.
8. Headphones. No space or budget for noise-cancelling headphones? No problem! Earbuds are small yet mighty, drowning out your yappy neighbor or a crying baby.
9. Small bags. Keep everything you need in your suitcase separated and organized with small bags. I use one for my electronics, one for my makeup, one for my comfort items, one for my jewelry… You get the idea.
10. Contact lens case. Perfect for small amounts of liquids, such as moisturizer, face wash, and hair smoothing cream.
11. Toiletry bottles. No need for a full-sized bottle of shampoo! Decant your larger amounts of liquids into 3 oz. bottles.
12. Packing cube. Compress a large amount of clothing into a small rectangle. Enough said!
13. Portable charger. Never worry about running out of juice when you’ve got one of these babies in your bag.
14. Padfolio. Take notes, plus manage your files and papers all in one space.
15. Wireless mouse. Navigate on your laptop simply and easily without all the wires.
16. Surge protector. Have enough plugs for all of your devices! Or share with others and become a hero when outlets are at a premium.
17. Plug adapter. A small international plug adapter allows you to easily plug in no matter where in the world you are.
18. Travel keyboard. Work more easily from your tablet with a compact, folding travel keyboard.
19. TripIt. Manage all of your reservations in one simple (free!) app.
20. White Noise Free. Block out loud hotel noises and sleep like a baby with this free app. I’ve used it on every trip for the last nine years and it is amazing.
Readers, did I miss anything? What inexpensive travel accessories can you not do without?

Dorie Greenspan has been making these amazing looking "Jammer" cookies for a while. We've never tried making them. This presented a perfect excuse for me to try to improve my completely awful welding skills. Here's how I made a set of 3" and 3.5" cookie rings. I made them at techshop.
Cut a sheet of stainless steel to 9.7" (3" * π plus enough overlap for the ring to stay together) long, then cut it the other way into 1.5" strips. I used a hydraulic sheer.
Shape the strips of metal into rings using a slip roller. The roller I used is a little too big to roll a 3" circle so I ended up with C shaped rings and just finished shaping them by hand.
I set up the TIG welder, which I had used a grand total of once before (in a class last week), clamped a couple of pieces of scrap together and tested a spot weld. Success!
A quick cleanup job on a sander and they're ready to go.
After making these five I made another batch of nine 3.5" rings.
Step 4: Test Them Out!
Using this recipe we made the dough, cut it with the rings, add a bit of homemade apricot jam, use a piece of aluminum foil as a cone to sprinkle the streusel around the edges, toss it in the oven.
These cookies are definitely good enough to be worth showing the world how inept a welder I am.
Wish i had all dem tools to do this. I used to use all those rings when I was in kicthens...EXPENSIVE!
For round cookies, I just use a cup or cap which doesn't cut into palm when pushing down. My hand doesn't like these thin metal cutters without rubber on top. Your cookies look delicious!
I agree. My original plan was to fold the metal over at the top so they wouldn't hurt to press on but I think most cookie cutters are made with thinner metal than I used. I rolled a scrap of this metal in a ring and pressed on it before deciding they were dull enough to not be worth folding over the edge.
Very nice exercise in sheet metal work. I've always wondered why an array of hexagonal cutters can't be made, so you can cut out a sheet of cookies all at once with no waste. If you make one up, please post it.
That's a fantastic idea. I'll give it a try.

Can you use these in drinks bottles for use during riding as a means of hydration as well as adding flavour?

Just when you thought you were done with your Christmas shopping, you better check this list and make sure you say a proper thank you, and how much you should spend to do so.
First of all, who you tip and how much should be based on how often you are in contact with the people you are considering, the relationships you have formed with them (how long you have known them, how close you have grown to them), and the quality of the services you receive from them.
It is also really important to not go into DEBT because you feel obligated to tip. You've got to be realistic about your budget, and if you don't have the money, then perhaps you can do something from your heart like a personal, handwritten note inside a card, or some homemade cookies or crafts if you are good at that.

home is a breeding ground for allergens. There’s also smell and cleanliness factors to consider. So, before your realtor starts showing your property, make sure it’s properly staged for success.
If possible, make arrangements for your pet to be removed from the home during the showing period. While it’s definitely an easier way to keep your home in tip-top shape, it’s also harder on you and your furry friend. If a kennel or trusted friend or family member is not an option to take in your pet, at least remove him from the home during the actual showing. Just keep in mind that you’re going to have to conduct regular cleaning, deodorizing, and decluttering in between appointments.
Along with food and water bowls, cat trees, bedding, cage/carrier, leash/muzzle, and toys, you’re going to need to remove items like photographs and any memorabilia that indicate you own a pet (e.g., an “I Love Dogs” sign). Another indicator is a doggie door, so make sure you seal it up. If you own a cat and you absolutely can’t temporarily move her out, make sure you hide the litter box or invest in an incognito model that doubles as a piece of furniture. Just make sure it’s clean and odor free.
Sweep and mop all hard floors to remove hair, dander, and dust particles. Make sure you do this lightly so you don’t kick things up in the air.
Vacuum everywhere, from hard floors and carpets to furniture and curtains.
Remove stains and steam-clean the carpets with a pet-friendly cleaner and remover.
Just make sure to move your animals to another room during this process.
Wash all your linens, including bedding, couch cushions, and pillow cases. Anything that’s not machine washable should go to the dry cleaner.
Even though you’ll be storing it away, wash your pet’s bed and blankets so there aren’t any odors lurking from a storage space. If you’re concerned because you want to retain the scent so it’s easier for your pet to get adjusted to his new home, ask a friend or family member to hold on to the items for you, or keep them in the trunk of your car.
Open the windows and air out your home. Change all the air filters as it’s likely that they’re clogged with dust, dirt, and hair which contributes to odors.
Apply a couple of coats of a stain- and odor-sealing paint to areas on walls (usually near baseboards) where any urine stains may exist.
On the day of the showing, simmer herbs, essential oils, and fruit on the stove. Dab some essential oils on cotton balls and strategically place them in hidden areas around the house. Light a few lightly scented candles—nothing too overpowering as it can be a turnoff for buyers.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, consider hiring a professional stager to assist you. Use this experience as an opportunity to consider ways to make your next home a bit less cluttered and as fresh smelling as possible. A home that looks like it’s run by a pet instead a person isn’t the best environment, even if it’s not for sale.


text: Following heavy snowfall in parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan in February, at least 120 people were killed by avalanches that destroyed or damaged dozens of homes. In the north-eastern Afghan province of Nuristan, bordering Pakistan, at least 45 people in one village perished under an avalanche. “In the village of Afsye, Bargematal district, 70 houses have been destroyed by the avalanches,” said Muhammad Mahab Khan, head of operations for the Afghan Red Crescent Society. Windstorms and frozen ground slowed rescue efforts and made building provisional shelters a challenge. Just weeks earlier, Italian Red Cross search-and-rescue teams battled dangerous conditions to bring 14 people to safety after a major avalanche engulfed a hotel in Italy’s Pescara province, killing six people.

The best time to donate winter jackets and gear is in the fall as clothing drives are underway to help those in need keep warm during the winter. It is also easiest for thrift stores to sell and not store the items if you donate them in the fall.
Donated clothing items should be something a person could still feel confident wearing second-hand. If you’re not sure they are wearable, or the clothes are tattered, significantly stained and/or torn, please donate to a thrift shop that accepts unusable clothing so they can recycle it (such as Goodwill Industries).
Schools – Many school districts hold donation drives in the fall or you can contact the school’s front office to see if there is a need.
Churches – They can have a clothes closet and/or often work with charitable organizations who collect gear for their clients.
Non-Profits – Several non-profits have coat closets or special winter gear drives in the fall to help get people the gear they need before winter starts. Places like Sharing and Caring Hands, Central Lutheran Minneapolis, Shop for Change, Joseph’s Coat will take your goods and give them to those who need them most. Please always check with an organization first to see if they are in current need of your items, as space can be limited to them. Non-profit thrift stores such as St Vincent DePaul and the Salvation Army also sell winter gear throughout the season to support their programs and will gladly take your donation.
Choose to Reuse website -- Find a location near you for consigning and selling your used clothing.
Nextdoor, Facebook groups, and Craigslist – Make your item/money exchanges in a designated safe zone, such as a police department.

On July 19th, 2018 JesseJay's attended the 11th Annual Buy Local Cookout hosted by Governor Hogan and his wife. The event was the biggest ever and a great success. We met so many great people: farmers, restaurateurs, a 2 Star General and Mrs. Hogan herself.
Jesse cooked local pork raised on a farm about 5 miles from our home in Anne Arundel County. He featured the slow-braised pork shoulder, in tacos topped with AMAZING mole sauce using his grandmother's recipe, straight from Oaxaca, Mexico.
The mole sauce was the hit. We had people coming out of their way to say how delicious is way, some saying it was the best they have ever had. I'm not lying when I say that I caught someone licking the mole off their plate. A chef that has worked for the governor's house for 33 years is set to retire this year. He came back just to serve himself a spoonful of the mole. He joked (I think) that he will be applying for a job with us, so he can learn the mole recipe. What a great compliment and what a great day it was!
We can't wait to keep serving people delicious food. Thanks to our family that helped today - you fill in our gaps and you rock!!

This release contains a variety of fixes from 8.2.10. For information about new features in the 8.2 major release, see Section E.145.
A dump/restore is not required for those running 8.2.X. However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 8.2.7, see Section E.138. Also, if you were running a previous 8.2.X release, it is recommended to REINDEX all GiST indexes after the upgrade.
Cases in which there are query variables on the right-hand side had been handled less efficiently in 8.2.x and 8.3.x than in prior versions. The fix restores 8.1 behavior for such cases.
The usual symptom of this problem is an "unrecognized node type" error.
pg_controldata and pg_resetxlog did this incorrectly, and so could fail on Windows.

I thought I’d stick out another poem. I was awake for hours last night, thoughts charging around my head like wild horses. And when I finally sat down to try to get them out, I was so surprised that this is what I came up with, given that it’s old news. Or is it? Have I bubbled it through in my subconscious all this time, polishing it up? Have I had a revelation? Anyway, this is what I like to do when I’m in a funny mood – play with words on a page.
I asked the rabbit in the moon.
I can’t see her from here.
Goodness knows where I’d need to go.
I already had it long ago.
Until you can never fall.
Or were you always here?
Though we knew we’d never have time for them all.
For we live our lives on the moon.
