Bacon Wrapped Sriracha Dogs - Recipe! - Live. Love. Laugh. Food.
Bacon wrapped dogs are a big thing in Los Angeles. If you have ever been to the Hollywood Bowl, Wiltern Theatre or most other venues, you can always smell the smoky wieners cooking over an open grill right after the show. On most occasions, I try to resist the temptation, but there are special circumstances in which I just have to have one.
There are much better varieties of hot dogs today. When I was young my mother wouldn’t let us eat many hot dogs because of the preservatives and who knows what else was in there, but nowadays you can buy grass fed, corn finished all beef dogs that are quite amazing. Of course you can always use the standard kosher dogs or Oscar Mayer, but I suggest you walk on the adventurous side and try some of the new varieties.
These Bacon Wrapped Sriracha Dogs are my interpretation of these late night eats. I use thick cut no-nitrate bacon and wrap it snugly around the hot dog and secure it with toothpicks at the end. Grilling is a snap, just toss them on a stovetop grill pan, or grill outside. A quick brush of my Sriracha Glaze, while the wienies are cooking and you have yourself a fun summer meal.
These dogs are perfect to make for your favorite game or serve them up as a casual weeknight meal. Don’t forget to warm the buns right before serving.
1. Remove hot dogs and bacon from packaging. Wrap a slice of bacon around each dog and secure at ends with toothpicks.
2. Place your grill pan over medium high burners. In a small bowl, combine Sriracha and maple syrup, stir to combine. Place dogs on grill and cook for 3 minutes, rotate a third of a turn and brush with sauce. Repeat twice more, until dogs are crispy brown on all sides.
3. Slice buns open and warm buns in oven or on grill top, place on a plate or basket. Remove Bacon Wrapped Sriracha Dogs from heat and place one in each bun. Top with a dollop of mustard and mayo and pickled peppers for extra heat. Don’t forget pickle. Enjoy!

FC Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde heavily rotated his squad yesterday in his side’s goalless draw with minnows Huesca. The result was a drab, listless performance, but with eyes on the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal tie with Manchester United, (and the domestic leaguer pretty much wrapped up) the decision made perfect sense.
Let’s take a look at what first team lineup Valverde might field in this one, with his starters now fresh.
Barcelona should buy kylian mbappe next summer. That is all.
Recommend Malcolm be given regular playing time, he is a promising young player. I like his style of playing.
Barca to stop Real Madrid 4rm Signing Hazard They should do What ever it takes to sign Eden Hazard if he is available, but if they lost d battle and he end up joining Madrid then is a MOST 4 barca to bring back Neymar Jr Or Sign Kylian Mbappe. in Coutinho lives a world class player & future barca player, shld be given more time.
I Want Barcelona To Buy Dybala Let Cotinho Go That Is All.
Barcelona is a good club and we all know but we need a replacement for Dembele. We can buy Neymar or Mbappe.

After 8 years in this house we decided it is time to finally get rid of the patio set inherited from the previous owners, and get something new. This is the story of how we went from an empty patio to finally having all 5 seats today.
Mid-February we were shopping around for patio furniture. It turns out that we wanted a fairly specific look, not metal, and we liked wicker chairs. A visit to Patio World revealed some very nice pieces, at prices that we were not willing to pay. So we took a trip through the local big box stores. Orchard Supply had nothing we liked, nor did Lowes. Home Depot had one patio furniture set on display that fit our criteria, but the standard cushion color was ... boring. They do offer other colors through special order on homedepot.com.
We liked the chairs in the store, so we ordered online on February 27. One Spring Haven Patio love seat, 3 lounge chairs, one coffee table. All in brown wicker, and cushion slip covers in "Dragonfruit". The order confirmation email showed that we would receive 3 separate shipments: The table, the chairs, and the slip covers. So far, so good. Just a standard online order.
The coffee table showed up within a couple days. No issues. A day later we checked shipping status on the remaining items, and found that the slip covers were delivered ... in Chula Vista. Where the heck is Chula Vista? It is in California, so UPS at least delivered them in the right state.
A call to homedepot.com, and 30 minutes later we knew that the warehouse had indeed sent our slip covers to an existing address in Chula Vista that shares a remote resemblance with our home address. UPS dutifully delivered the package as requested. A refund got processed, and a new set of covers ordered.
Another couple days later we found this at the door when we came home. The chairs had been delivered by the freight company on the advertised day, but much earlier than the indicated delivery window.
In the evening I started setting up a chair, then the love seat, and called it a night. As I set up the coffee table and the next chair the following evening, Franziska asks me, "Dad, why does this chair feel rough, and that one feel soft?" Hmmm, and the colors are different, too.
Yet on the boxes it clearly says "Spring Haven Patio Club Chair Brown". These chairs can be ordered in two colors, brown and grey. They must have been packed incorrectly at the factory in China.
Coffee table - brown. Good.
Love seat - brown. Good.
One lounge chair - brown. Good.
Two lounge chairs - grey. Bad.
Another call to homedepot.com gets me a very puzzled customer rep. They ultimately ask me to take the wrong chairs to the closest Home Depot store, have them take possession of the chairs, call homedepot.com to cancel the order, and then process a reorder. I do that, and after some back and forth at the store, we got that squared away.
Back home I order two chairs again and have them shipped to the store, since that order doesn't meet the minimum charge for free shipping. It turns out shipping to the store gets the items delivered faster, too.
Sigh. The wrong ones again.
The right boxes. The wrong content. The super-helpful staff at the store orders the chairs for the second time.
A week goes by. Another week goes by. No email. I call homedepot.com to check on the status of the order. Turns out they received the shipment the week before, but because of how it was re-ordered, had no records at the store what to do with the shipment. They knew it was an online order, so they held it, and when the customer service rep from homedepot.com called, they connected the dots.
In the evening I picked up the boxes at the store.
"Hi, I'm here to pick up an online order."
"Sure, what's your order number?"
"Here it is. It's two patio chairs that had to be reordered, because the color was wrong."
"Oh, those chairs. ... Hey Mario, pull the two boxes in the back that have BOSS written all over them, will ya?"
Before I left the store we double-checked that the color was right this time. Thankfully, it was.
I did not expect to find this in our garden shed. I guess the recent rains created just the right conditions to start our own fungus farm.
Rarely do you hear model railroaders exclaim "what do I do with all that space?" Usually, it's the opposite, trying to make the scene you are imagining work with the limited space you have. In the case of Hallelujah Paper at Silicon Valley Lines, today once again I realized how large the space I'm working with is.
I placed the paper machine building on the layout, as well as the power plant. What looked like decent-sized buildings on my dining room table that are too big for my home layout just gets gobbled up on the club layout. I'd like to create a somewhat cramped feeling with the older part of the plant, but that requires at least one more kit-bashed building of at least the size of the power plant. At the same time, I also want to feature the digester and associated piping prominently.
The track arrangement and how the mill is connected to the SVL main line make it a bit awkward to fill the area between the Finished Paper Warehouse, and the power plant. The challenge is to build a tank car unloading facility, that both fills the space I have for it, appears believable, and connects with the paper machine building in a visually interesting way.
I could move the digester tanks more to the left, past the right end of the paper making building, but that doesn't make much sense from the manufacturing process perspective, and creates very strange routing of the materials conveyor belt. Also, whatever arrangement I come up with still needs to provide an excuse for hiding the opening in the right hand side of the paper making building. Maybe instead of an additional building, put the digesters between power plant and warehouse, and route the conveyor belts into the back drop on the way to the wood chip storage area. ... That might work.
I should take another pass through Don's paper plant pictures for inspiration.
The ramp is definitely too high. I'll cover the sides with Heki foam walls, which will widen the ramp a bit and cut away the hardboard under ramp, so that it sits at the same level as the track.
I felt like doing something quick and easy tonight, before I go to bed.
Dave's beautiful laser cut ramp that didn't quite fit at the planned location at Silicon Valley Lines was cut in half, covered with some cardboard, and temporarily put in place to get an idea what it might look like.
The bulges relented and are barely visible any more. There is a slight bow in the roof sheet now, but it's manageable. I added the vents and blowers and will arrange the "steam" from the paper making process coming off the building once it's down at the club.
The power station was taped, wrapped, and prepped for spray painting the foundation walls. I think it came out quite nicely.
I lightly weathered the outside and installed lights. The lights are not particularly bright, so they might not be that useful after all if the room lights are on. And when the room lights are off, you can see them shining through the walls. Oh well.
Either way, the power station is ready to travel down to the club on Friday.
The paper making building was only missing its gravel roof. I used full-strength white glue, spread around with a finger and Woodland Fine grey blend ballast for the gravel.
While the gravel is drying, I weathered the vents and various blowers, that will go on the roof. Here's an example pre- and post-weathering.
When I blew loose gravel off the roof, I noticed that the white glue was holding only a very thin layer of gravel in many places. Very anxious (because of previous experience) I carefully brushed a very thin layer of matte medium on the thin spots and applied more gravel. An hour later the roof started to warp in some places. The matte medium had penetrated the foamcore paper, and the roof started to disintegrate. I carefully applied some weight to the bulging roof paper (paint bottles are useful for many things), and I'm hoping that tomorrow morning the bulges are gone.
I stopped by The Train Shop today, ran into a couple well-known local model railroaders, and picked up the interiors kit for the Northern Light & Power kit, which I'm using to represent the paper mill power station. The interiors kit is a bit of a joke: two sprues, the majority of which are taken up by the three panels for the steam boiler. I originally planned to build up something on the inside myself, but saw the box on the shelf and figured, "Why not? Let's try it." Oh well, ... Let's see what we can make with this.
The grey plastic pieces first got a light coat of Coach Green mixed with a bit of yellow, which becomes this ubiquitous machine green commonly seen in industrial settings. An application of weathering powders later we have something that looks a bit more interesting.
Next I painted one of the sprues silver and arranged the "pipes" around the boiler set. The effect behind the windows of the building is much better in 3D than in the photo below but you get the idea. Now we're no longer looking at a boring grey box with some ribs.
I found the crane bridge under layout and built a new hoist housing from strip styrene. The housing doesn't have to be particularly pretty or accurate since it's hard to see from the outside of the building anyways. As long as there's something "there", the effect is sufficient.
I painted the turbines and generator parts and added a dusting of weathering powder to represent grease and grime. I did add tiny representations of builder plates made from 0.010' strip styrene painted black.
Here's an overview of the completed interior. The boiler walls are a bit crooked because I glued the separating wall the wrong way around, and now the sliding fire doors get in the way of the boiler walls.
Today was a reminder how painful the commute in my previous job was when I spent 4 hours each day on the train, on the shuttle bus, or waiting for either one commuting between San Jose and South San Francisco. I changed jobs just before Caltrain introduced the Baby Bullet Service, so while I used the Baby Bullets on occasion since, I never got to experience the express service on a regular basis.
I left left the office at 3:30pm. The train left at 3:59pm. Arriving home at 5:50pm (via transfer to VTA Light Rail at Tamien). It's time they electrify Caltrain, retire the diesel engines, and get modern passenger train sets with decent acceleration.
Planes taking off from SFO and flying overhead. You can hear, but you can't see them.
The roar from I-380 comes through a bit muffled.
Carl the Fog is thick and hanging low today.

A while ago, award-winning London hair salon group Rush, launched their own line of nine haircare and styling products designed by their artistic team. I’ve only just got round to trying some, and am now very disappointed that I waited so long.
I’ve got four products from the range, and the packaging on them is beautiful. Very girly, and luxurious too. They all smell amazing too- it’s a difficult scent to describe, as it’s that gorgeous quality hair salon smell, a sweet floral.
The first one I’ve been using is their dry shampoo Survive & Revive Dry Shampoo (£5). Dry shampoos are a tricky product to like- most I’ve tried have left a chalky white residue on my hair, or just haven’t performed as I’ve wanted them to. This one, however, is great. It leaves no white trace behind at all, and really freshens the look of unwashed hair. Everytime you move you get a delicious waft of the scent too.
I’ve also been loving their Lift & Defy Root Gel (£6). This has a very light clear gel formula (so it doesn’t weigh your hair down), and you use a marble-sized amount to cover your palms and then work through the roots, plumping as you go. If you then dry your hair upside down, you’ll have lots of lift in the roots and voluminous locks.
Another of the products I got is the most expensive in the collection, the Multi-Use Oil (£9.50). This comes in a glass bottle with a handy pipette dispenser. There are lots of ways to use hair oil, but I use it the tips of my hair. I don’t get regular trims, so my ends can sometimes be dry and dull. I put a few drops of oil on my hand and work spareingly through the tips when my hair is still damp. This seals the hair cuticles so helps stop split ends.
If I am planning on straightening my hair for a sleek look, I’ve been using the Ultimate Blow Dry Lotion (£6). This has a lightweight watery creamy texture. All you need is 2 or 3 pumps to smooth over your mid-lengths and ends- you can do this on dry or wet hair (I do it once I’ve towel-dried it). This lotion conditions, smoothes straight hair and helps to eliminate frizz- I love it.
You can pick all these products up from Marks & Spencer stores or online at www.shoprush.com.

I tried installing the 6.60 OFW and running a PRO 6.60 cfw but again the screen turns black. I formated the memory card and reset the psp settings but still nothing.
Does the PROUPDATE have the option to "uninstall" the CFW?

You probably want to know what an art blogger and lover does in her two weeks vacation. Well, it is perfectly doable to avoid art for two weeks: I just did - kind of. I saw a lot of animals instead. I visited my sister who lives in Tanzania, a country where the hakuna matata philosophy flourishes together with a rich wildlife. Hakuna matata or not, I was almost eaten by a group of lions (tip: keep the car window closed) and also the hippos lingered dangerously in the pond. But in the end it was a tiny ant that got at me and it did so not in the savanna but at the Infiniti swimming pool in Zanzibar. The creature stung me in my leg and left a big poisonous red spot of 30 centimeters width. I thought I was gonna die right there. But yup, I survived! The only other health issue I had on my vacation was that for the very first time I got terribly sea sick. It happened on the ferry from Zanzibar (tip: take the ferry in the morning when the sea is less wild).
Okay, admitted, for an art lover it is hard to avoid art even on vacation. As a tourist, of course I ended up buying a cute wooden giraffe in a road shop. Then I shopped some more at the Tingatinga art market in Dar El Salaam. And in Zanzibar I came upon the beautiful cushion covers made by the women collective SASIK. In Stonetown I admired the clocks collected by the sultans in their Sultan Palace, accompanied by a sultan size mirror and a sultan size bed (which is bigger than king size). It’s always interesting to see where people slept, isn't it. In the same Palace they reconstructed the bedroom of Sayyida Salme, daughter of Sultan Said and author of Memoirs of an Arabian Princess from Zanzibar.
For an art blogger, it's also very hard to stay offline. So I discovered a few fellow bloggers in Dar El Salaam - Elsie Eyakuze writes about Tanzania, feminism and culture, and the artist Miguel Costales posts his painterly impressions of Tanzanian life. Yes, blogging even defined my vacation literature - I read the great novel Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, which is about a Nigerian blogger in the USA. Exploring Tanzania online, I also came upon this East-African online TV called NewzBeat, run by young hiphop activists who want to change the way news is created and consumed by rapping it. Yo!
Vacation brought me back home even before hitting Berlin soil. Not only because the above mentioned Syyida Salme was a princess who fled to Germany. But also because of the slave market in Stonetown, where slavery existed until 1907, just a century ago. I visited the basement where slaves were kept before being auctioned and this narrow space, without light and air, has a most oppressive atmosphere ever. Outside the Scandanavian artist Clara Sörnäs created life-size statues of slaves bearing original chains. Our guide showed us a map of the triangle that marked the slave trade: Africa - America - Europe. It is a triangle that still affects nowadays society. Take Berlin as an example. On August 8 a guided tour will be organised by Berlin Postkolonial at the M*straße in Berlin - a street name that, quite unbelievably, is still being used not only because in our society it's largely ignored how language can harm, but also because it deals with a history that Germany likes to deny: its very own participation in the transatlantic slave trade, visualised on that map in Stonetown.

Anticipating a new addition to the family creates a swell of well wishes and support from family members and friends. This wave of collective joy carries the mother-to-be through the ups and downs of pregnancy, from radiant skin to morning sickness, and from newly lustrous hair to swollen ankles. An expectant mom does everything within her control to ensure that all goes according to plan throughout the pregnancy and delivery. So it can be devastating for parents-to-be to learn that their baby may have congenital heart disease, which is sometimes referred to as a congenital heart defect.
While several types of cardiac conditions can be identified at this time, the most common problems are holes between the heart chambers, called atrial septal defects and ventricular septal defects (VSDs). Rarer and more complex types of heart abnormalities identified include tetralogy of Fallot, a combination of structural issues that causes blood flowing out of the heart to have low oxygen levels, and hypoplastic left heart syndrome or hypoplastic right heart syndrome, blood flow problems caused by underdevelopment in one side of the heart.
Understandably, parents who learn that their baby has congenital heart disease feel shaken to the core. UAB Medicine’s multidisciplinary team – which includes a maternal-fetal medicine physician such as Dr. Wetta, a genetics counselor, and a pediatric cardiologist – quickly steps in. They are ready to guide parents through the remainder of the woman’s pregnancy, the delivery of the baby, and the care needed following the baby’s birth.
In those cases, the problem often is detected in the nursery, when the baby has low blood oxygen levels or low blood pressure. When that happens, Dr. Romp or one of his colleagues is called in to perform an echocardiogram, which uses ultrasound technology (high-frequency sound waves) to generate a visualization of the baby’s heart.
More complicated forms of congenital heart disease may require immediate attention. Dr. Romp says that transposition (when the pulmonary artery and aorta grow out of the wrong sides of the heart) and hypoplastic left heart syndrome are two such conditions. “Babies with these types of heart defects require medical therapies within hours of birth,” he says. UAB Medicine’s team of cardiac specialists diagnoses the problem, formulates a treatment plan, and determines the optimal timing of medicines, cardiac catheterizations, and surgeries.
Those specialists include pediatric cardiologists such as Dr. Romp, as well as congenital heart surgeons who only operate on babies. Pediatric cardiac intensivists – doctors who specialize in ICU care – work around the clock in UAB Medicine’s pediatric cardiac ICU to help ensure that these infants recover from therapy and are well enough to go home.
Once pediatric cardiac patients reach the age of 18, they transition to specialists who treat adult congenital heart disease (ACHD), an area in which UAB Medicine has extensive expertise. Because there appears to be a genetic component to some congenital heart defects, patients who were born with heart problems can be seen by the UAB Division of Maternal and Fetal Medicine when they’re ready to start a family, thus completing the circle of care.
For babies with serious fetal heart disease, obtaining qualified care before and after birth is critical, and that’s the goal of UAB Medicine’s state-of-the-art Fetal Diagnosis and Care Center. “If the baby will need postnatal therapy, it makes sense for the family to get established here at UAB, get the baby delivered here, and get postnatal care planned here,” he says.

Through a National Sport Plan the Government seeks to set out Australia’s expectations of the sports sector, including our shared goals for high performance sport; sporting participation; cultural and public health outcomes and levels of investment.
The health, cultural and economic contribution sport makes to our country is significant. The National Sport Plan is intended to guide future priorities and approaches, to position Australian sport for the long term. It will examine and seek input from individuals, community groups, sporting organisations, businesses and governments.
The development of the National Sport Plan is intended to be a system wide examination of sport in Australia to strategically position sport into the future. This will be delivered around four key, interrelated pillars of participation, performance, preventive health through physical activity, and integrity.
Development of the Plan is about laying out a vision where each Australian can dream and each Australian can do. They can be a part of sport, they can play sport, and they can be engaged in healthy living. Through the participation pillar we seek to identify how to maximise the participation of Australians in sport and to identify and reduce barriers to participation.
The Plan is about enabling Australians to be their best selves, and for our best athletes (individuals and teams) we want to provide the right support. Through examining performance we seek to identify high performance Olympic, Paralympic, Commonwealth Games and non-Olympic sports objectives.
Sport plays a central role in keeping people active and healthy and can be the conduit to a long, healthy life. Through examining prevention we seek to identify how to use sport to achieve population health goals and reduce the burden of chronic disease in Australia, drawing from the wealth of expertise in this sector.
The Plan is about maintaining vigilance to keep unwanted elements out of Australian sport. Through examining integrity we seek to identify how best to protect Australian sport from integrity threats, such as doping, match-fixing and illicit drugs.
Developing the plan is a priority for the Government and we seek to hear the views of a broad range of interested Australians. As part of the consultation process the Australian community and interested governments, organisations, community groups and individuals are invited to make submissions.
For further information and to view the questions, please download the questionnaire.

US Assistant Secretary for South and Central Asian Affairs Robert O. Blake talks exclusively to Debrief about the resolution on Sri Lanka at the UNHRC. You can also watch Gotabhaya Rajapaksa on reconciliation .
05 March 2012. With US Resolution against Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka step into Eelam-war-5! Instead banning terrorism, it has become legal in Europe and USA! Victor Koppe (Dutch Lawyer for LTTE) said in a speech (link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3fpa0zZPB4 ) made infront of United Nations in Geneva on 05.03.2012 that attempts are being made to remove LTTE Ban in EU and LTTE has been considered as freedom fighters in Dutch courts in the Netherlands and in Italy. The consequence of that decision is that LTTE can not be considered as a terrorist group but “Liberation Fighters” Thereby, LTTE activities in EU are legal. Mr Koppe who is a Lawyer specialized in International Criminal Law said that there is some kind of “hope” and legal proceedings are well under way to remove LTTE ban imposed in 2006. LTTE is a banned terrorist organization in 27 countries within EU and its financial assets were frozen. 4:00 The LTTE ban was imposed by political pressure from USA and other countries. Now things have been changed after May2009 and international community (USA, EU) is pressing Sri Lanka for alleged violation of war crimes while politicians from France, Belgium and England were participating on the demonstration to prove that it is not only the Tamil diaspora seeking justice.
LTTE terrorists who massacred civilians in Sri Lanka for 30yrs which excelled in suicide bombings and committed crimes against humanity are now to be called as freedom fighters by Europeans and USA! Shame! on you!
During “Arab Spring” Blood Baths in Middle East, breaching International Law was easy and simple for US-EU coalition which was often neglected. They even dared join with terrorists (Al Qaeda) openly to change (unfavourable) regimes including change of Rajapaksa regime Sri Lanka which defeated LTTE terrorism. LTTE was the number one terrorists committed mass crimes against humanity but not for Europeans. As long as no harm for USA and EU they are not terrorists! Human rights laws only apply for regime changes!
He said in June 20011, that the EU ban of the LTTE has been called illegal and a breach of international law. A petition was put forth by LTTE sympathizers argues that under international humanitarian law the EU and its member states have a duty to refrain from involvement in the conflict. It further called for an amnesty to be granted to all those involved with the LTTE following the conclusion of the war.
It was presented in the petition that ‘international humanitarian law prevents intervention of third states with an armed conflict between a non-state actor in the pursuit of self-determination and a state.’ The listing of the LTTE as a terrorist organization can only be seen as an intervention according to the petition. The petition however fails to recognize the role that the Norwegian government played as a mediator. The Norwegian government intervened in an attempt to broker a lasting peace deal and despite its failure the role of Norway was an intervention of a third party.
The petition which presented to the president and members of the general court of the European Union argues that the LTTE cannot be considered a terrorist organisation as defined by in ‘Article 1 (3) of the Council Common Position 2001/931/CFSP.’ As they cannot be considered a terrorist group. Victor Koppe, the lawyer for the LTTE activists in Europe, states that group cannot be banned. The petition further states that the actions carried out by the LTTE do not amount to offences under national criminal law. It concludes by explaining that as the LTTE was militarily defeated in 2009 and are no longer active in Sri Lanka a review under article 1(6) of the Council Common Position 2001/931/CFSP would have removed the group from the list.
Quoting UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and Terrorism, Dr Kalliopi K. Koufa, the petition states that ‘under the law of armed conflict, acts of war are not chargeable as either criminal or terrorist acts.’ Koppe is stating that criminal law cannot be applied to armed conflict. The law of armed conflict, however, states that military forces are permitted to engage only in acts necessary to accomplish a legitimate military objective. It also limits attacks strictly to military objectives. The LTTE’s continued attack on civilian targets throughout the conflict proscribes it from the law of armed conflicts.
Do not believe a word uttered by Robert Owen Blake, former Ambassador to Sri Lanka and US foghorn for South Asia. This man does not have a single honest, decent bone in his body and has always acted as a devious snake under the grass where Sri Lanka is concerned. They are now publishing all kinds of random cables to exonerate him to show that he was impartial, etc. When you read those cables check the dates because the time-line is very important.
No Eelam in Sri Lanka don’t worry. If they want to whitewash the LTTE and absolve them in Europe and US by their lawyers, don’t try to stop them. Do go ahead and encourage them to do so. Some people just have to learn the hard way.
With you guys getting a beating in Afghanistan,wouldn’t it be a great idea to absorb the leftover Tiger terrorists into fighting in Afghanistan?Now without any chance in hell to resume their terror campaign in Srilanka,they wouldn’t mind doing the dirty work for the Yankies.

TORONTO — Federal Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer shrugged off suggestions Tuesday that Ontario’s premier was overshadowing him on matters of importance to the national Conservative cause, saying they simply shared common goals.
Scheer faced pointed questions about Doug Ford’s political influence after meeting with the Progressive Conservative premier at Ontario’s legislature, where the pair discussed issues including their opposition to the federal Liberal carbon pricing plan.
Ford has been a strong critic of the tax, launching a court challenge against it and raising his opposition to it during recent trips to meet with Conservative political leaders in Saskatchewan and Alberta.
Scheer, when asked whose brand was stronger, said he and Ford were both working toward improving life for Canadians.
Scheer dismissed suggestions that Ford was trying to replace him as the face of the federal Conservatives, noting that he had recently travelled to many of the same places the Ontario premier had been to.
In Ottawa, however, the federal minister of intergovernmental affairs suggested Ford had significant influence over Scheer.
Ford, for his part, endorsed Scheer earlier on Tuesday, calling him Canada’s next prime minister in a social media message. He also told reporters the only way to get rid of the federal carbon tax was to defeat the prime minister in next year’s federal election.
Meanwhile, opposition legislators in Ontario said Ford has been campaigning on behalf of Scheer instead of focusing on the work of his provincial government.
NDP Leader Andrea Horwath said Ford’s attention to federal Conservative causes meant less time dealing with issues of importance to Ontario.
Wilfrid Laurier University political science professor Barry Kay said Ford is behaving as if he has ambitions beyond being Ontario’s premier, but that would be down the road, after the next federal election.
Kay said Ford could prove to be an asset for Scheer in the run up to the next federal vote where the Conservatives will need to take seats from the Liberals in order to win or hold them to a minority government.

Warren suffered a heart attack while on a skiing holiday in Thredbo. Here Warren talks about his heart attack and how cardiac rehabilitation helped him on his journey to recovery.
I was skiing in Thredbo in early August, flying down the hill, and I was deliberately pressing myself. I was going hard, very hard, very fast. I stopped to go across the main trail to get back on the lift and I had just a slight angina. But it was gone in 10 seconds so I did it again. This time when I got to the same position it now lasted for half a minute, and I said that's enough. My wife arrived and she called 000. The Thredbo ambulance arrived and I ended up having a quintuple bypass, so five bypasses were administered during the course of the operation.
The physio was the first who came to me after the operation and she started me on a program which was just walking around the ward. Then she suggested rehab. Because I had concerns about my own well-being, because I wasn't recovering as quickly as I thought I should, going to these classes twice a week was nice as I could go there and have consultations. That was what rehab did for me, it explained to me that "ok this is the process, it's slow and it's tedious, but you don't overdo it, just do what we say and it'll all be good." Which, it’s fair enough to say, is correct.
I would strongly recommend it to anyone, it can certainly do you no harm. I remember when I first emerged from the operation and was in intensive care, and even after, of sometimes feeling stress and concern about certain things which had occurred. It was very nice to be able to, on my next session at rehab, raise these issues.
Now I'm very well versed, thanks in part to the rehab, and know what maintains a good heart. Rehab probably alerted me to, and reminded me of, important issues.So, to that extent it has been very useful.
Learn how cardiac rehabilitation can help you, or find a cardiac rehabilitation service online. You can also call the Heart Foundation Helpline 1300 36 27 87 for help finding a service near you.
Gary got back on track with cardiac rehabilitation.

Everybody loves a Post-it note. For organising, taking messages, even project planning. Their versatility makes them perfect for tasks that only require bitesize pieces of information. They're big enough to scribble a few words on, but too small for more than a couple of sentences.
And it's no surprise that digital stickies have become a popular feature of notetaking apps too. Padlet, Google Jamboard and Trello all use their own versions. Breaking down big ideas into smaller, managable chunks makes the most difficult challenges somehow more achievable.
So to try and solve this problem, I've decided to combine the Post-it format with a consistent note taking style; Code-it notes!
If you'd like to use Code-it notes, I'll be sharing them via Instagram initially and building the collection as a Google Slides presentation. To get started, the first 3 have been embedded here on dev.to.
Learning technologist, designer and begintermediate frontend developer who enjoys learning whilst making stuff.
Love this! What are you using to create those cards? If you put this on GitHub, we could contribute based on your specifications and build an amazing reference resource.
Also keep the good work, for sure it will help many devs.
This is fantastic! I could see these being used in a classroom as part of a review game in addition to individual study. Such a good idea, well designed. Cheers!
Great idea. These are very useful. Keep up the great work.
Awesome thanks for sharing! Keep them coming.
I am following the profile, awesome job, keep posting cause I turned on the notifications!

Three weeks have somehow passed since I arrived in Lisbon; time which I can only assume simply evaporated in the indescribable light that illuminates this city.
I’ve not forgotten. There was work, room-hunting, drinking moonshine cherry schnapps from the old lady selling it out of her window, wandering the streets, riding its ferries and buses, adventures with new friends, gasping in the cold Atlantic waters and an octupus that set off a charming little allergic reaction.
But at this point, trying to describe everything that happened would like trying to walk past a Portuguese bakery.
I’ve instead chosen 17 photos, each a little story of its own.
And with only two weeks left in Portugal, I’m out the door to find some more. Adeus for now!
Disembarking from the Trenhotel sleeper train at Lisbon Oriente Station.
An unseasonal outlook over the medieval maze of Alfama.
Moorish geometric tiling, different on almost every building.
King Jose I watches over Praca do Comercio; Lisbon’s grand, gorgeous waterfront square.
Everything you could want, as long as that is canned eel. Fabrica das Enguias, Baixa district.
The Monument to the Discoveries — marking the departure point of Portugal’s renowned seafarers.
Rising above Alfama is the Panteao Nacional, the final resting place of many prominent Portuguese.
Sintra’s Palacio Nacional da Pena (The Feather Palace), a flight of Romanticism fancy commissioned by King Ferdinand II to rival Bavaria’s Schloss Neuschwanstein castle.
The bedroom of Queen Amelia; neo-Moorish decor, canopied 17th-Century bed.
An Arabic suprise in the Queen’s Fern Valley, Pena Park, Sintra.
Chorizo, black budding, farinheira smoked sausages — staples of the meat-heavy Portuguese diet.
The Elevador de Santa Justa; a 1902 public elevator linking Baixa and the hilltop at Igreja do Carmo church.
Decorations go up as the Alfama district prepares for festivities in honour of Santo Antonio.
Light, crisp Portuguese vinho verde — ‘green wine’ — goes down very easily at a picnic in the sun.
Lisbon laid out before the Miradouro da Senhora do Monte lookout point.
Berlin-based Kiwi writer in innovation communication. Inspired by social enterprise, science and tech for good, responsible travel and climate action. Sharing the inspiration through journalism and brand storytelling.
Cheers Amrita 🙂 I think it’s really a combination of this and working a lot during the weeks — meaning that every spare moment has been absolutely packed!

ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS is a fellowship designed and administered by a bunch of ex-drunks whose only qualification for membership is that we finally realized that we can’t hold our liquor and we want to stop trying to impossibly learn how to hold it successfully. It has no rules, dues or fees, nor anything else that any sensible organization seems to require.
At meetings the speaker starts on one subject and winds up talking about something entirely different and concludes by saying he doesn’t know anything about the program, except that it works. The groups are often broke, yet always seem to have money to carry on. We are always losing members but seem to grow. We claim AA is a selfish program but always seem to be doing something for others.
Every group passes laws, rules, edicts and pronouncements, which everyone blithely ignores. Members who disagree with anything are free to walk out in a huff, quitting forever, only to return as though nothing happened and are greeted accordingly.
Nothing we discuss in AA is ever planned in advance yet great results are born from the things we share with each other and our lives get better.
How can we survive like this? Perhaps it’s because we have learned to live and laugh at ourselves and with each other. God made us. He made laughter too. Perhaps He is pleased with our disorganized efforts and makes things right no matter who pushes the wrong buttons.
Maybe He is pleased with our simple yet sincere efforts to do what’s right for ourselves and others. Maybe He is pleased with our trying to be nobody but ourselves. We don’t know how it works, but it does and members keep receiving their dividend checks from their AA investments. It is wise to be sober, and it is much easier, my friends, to stay sober than to get sober.

I was born and raised in Colorado. I love it here! I received my undergraduate and master degree as a family nurse practitioner from Regis University in Denver. I love all the outdoor activities Colorado offers and have not had the desire to ever move away. I am happy to work and raise my family in such a wonderful state. I have always had a love of people and a desire to make a difference. After a personal illness, I was motivated to go into the medical field. There was something about the vulnerability of being a patient and the vital importance of the medical team that sparked a thirst deep inside.
As a nurse, I used to work in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. This is where I developed my love of the family, especially new moms and their precious babies. I started my current role, as a nurse practitioner with Kaiser Permanente in 2012. It is the perfect blend of caring for new families as they embark on possibly, the most exciting yet scary journey of their lives. I thrive to really listen to my patient’s needs and be empathetic to their concerns. Becoming an Internationally Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) has given me the extra knowledge to provide excellent and appropriate care to the couplets I care for that are breastfeeding.
As a mom of two young kids, I work hard to balance family, work, and fun. My husband and I love to travel, exploring new places. We try to share our love of traveling with our kids. I love seeing the world through the eyes of my kids. I strive to maintain my health by staying active. I like to hike and participate in most any outdoor activity.

Chicken, chicken and more chicken. Yep another way to have chicken in your house too.
Summer is here, it’s time to have some fun on the grill. Plus, most things always taste better when grilled. Right? And I could eat corn on the cob with any meal during this time of the year. I really could. Chicken on the grill, if cooked just right, is so moist and has that great smokey flavor even without adding your favorite toppings to it.
But here I found another kid friendly recipe for us to try.
1. Heat grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken 8 min. Meanwhile, cook and stir vegetables in hot oil in large skillet on medium heat 5 min. or until crisp-tender. Remove from heat; cover to keep warm.
2. Turn chicken; brush with barbecue sauce. Grill 7 to 9 min. or until chicken is done (165°F), turning and brushing occasionally with remaining sauce and adding rolls to grill the last few minutes to toast lightly.
3. Fill rolls with chicken, cheese and vegetables (if desired). I left out the peppers and only put onions on my sammie. I added some pickles too!!
If you’re like our family and you have kids in sports…you try to find a quick go to meal either before or after the game/practice. We have something going on typically Monday-Thursday nights. And some of those nights we aren’t home until almost 9pm. Now the kids are out of school but we still have daycare. So getting to bed at any time does not apply in our house!!!
This was easy to make, with great flavor. Serve with your favorite toppings and of course some corn on the cob!
I’m all up for new ways to make a chicken dinner. We eat it quite often at our house. And let me tell you, this one (for me anyways), was pretty dang good. The two flavors of the salad dressing and the cranberry…oh goodness. I loved it. The chicken was so moist and tender.
I even thought about making this on the grill and using it as a foil pack with some veggies. But our schedule has been a bit crazy with sports, so I did what the recipe called for and it was good to go. Super easy. Super good. A must try winner again. Thank you again Big Fork Little Fork.
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Place chicken in 2 (13×9-inch) baking dishes.
2. Mix remaining ingredients; pour over chicken.
3. Bake 50 min. or until chicken is done (165°F).
This one the entire family liked. I’d say I’d make it again (and it’s not that I won’t) it’s just that we have been trying so many new things it’s hard to do a repeat. And for us, that’s huge!
How fancy fun looking are these Jello treats!!!!!! Another kid friendly fun dessert or snack to make. We tried to make this once before and I don’t think my kitchen helper Mr. Caleb got the mixing part down quite right. Because the first time we made it, it did not turn out like this.
I did the mixing this time and it seemed to work pretty well.
Another fun one from Big Fork Little Fork app on the iPad.
2. Pour into 10 glasses or dessert dishes, 1-1/2-qt. bowl or 6-cup mold sprayed with cooking spray.
I think I’d definitely make this again and maybe try another flavor of Jello. Sadly to say, neither of the kids liked this. I’m not sure if it was the texture of what it was, but they both took a taste and said they didn’t care for it. I ate theirs!! Jello is good for you right!!!
I can’t win them all with the kids, but I sure thought for sure this would be one of them. Oh well, better luck next time I guess!
I love anything that has to do with eating Mexican food. I could eat it daily. Some people can’t live without sweet treats and or candy (candy is close for me) but I love the salty foods and Mexican food. Love, love, love it. Most people that know me, know that I love Zantigo. And one day I plan on opening one in our city. And my son will work there along side of me!!!
Moving on to the recipe at hand here. When I planned this weeks meal, I will say I used that dang app everyone must be tired of me talking about. Typically we have taco Thursdays in our house. Why? Well, Craig is not a taco fan and he used to bowl on those nights. Well bowling season for him on that night is done. So he either has to eat a sandwich or eat our mexican fiesta. Instead of tacos, I found this recipe. I turned it into mini chimi’s for one reason (well they were cute too) but because I bought the wrong size of tortilla shells!!
My co-worker asked me if I had baed these in the oven after spraying them with cooking spray instead of frying. Well, I’ve had a rough week. I felt like I needed to go with the good the bad and eat bad for the day. Yep, I fried them in oil. I did use the Omega 3 cooking oil, but none the less I still fried them in a pan. And they were delicious!!! Maybe next time we have this I’ll try it in the oven.
BROWN meat in large skillet on medium-high heat; drain. Add onions, garlic, oregano and pepper; cook until onions are tender, stirring occasionally.
SPOON 1/4 cup meat mixture onto center of each tortilla; top with VELVEETA. Fold in all sides of tortillas to completely enclose filling; secure with wooden toothpicks. Place in single layer on baking sheet. Refrigerate 20 min.
HEAT oil in large saucepan on medium-high heat. Add chimichangas, 2 at a time; cook 5 min. or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Remove and discard toothpicks. Serve chimichangas topped with sour cream and cilantro.
Save 140 calories and 18g of total fat per serving by substituting 1 lb. potatoes, cooked and cubed, for the browned ground beef and by using 2% Milk VELVEETA and BREAKSTONE’S Reduced Fat or KNUDSEN Light Sour Cream. To prepare, cook and stir onions with seasonings in large skillet 3 min. or until crisp-tender. Add potatoes; cook 3 to 5 min. or until heated through, stirring frequently. Spoon onto tortillas and continue as directed.
Looking for a fun way to get your kids involved with the cooking. Try this. They’ll love helping you roll the shells up and putting their favorite toppings inside and on it.
It’s that time of the week for a chicken dinner. We have them a couple of times per week and this one sounded really good. I have a hard time getting Brooklyn to eat chicken because she says she feels bad for the bird that walks around.
Now for those that are vegans or vegetarians, I applause you. I’m not sure I could do it. I have a hard time trying to fit healthy meals into my daily menu. But I do tell Brooklyn that she should try all types of foods. When she gets older she can make a choice to eat what she wants or doesn’t want. But I did find this one on that app I’ve been talking about lately. Do I really need to tell you what it is? Well sure, there may be a new reader here! Big Fork Little Fork.
Super easy to make. The fruit flavor is amazing. I squeezed the juice from the orange, lemon and lime over the chicken prior to cooking to add more zest to it!
GRATE zest from half of each of the fruit pieces; mix with coating mix. Use to coat chicken as directed on package.
CUT fruit into thin slices; arrange, slightly overlapping, on bottom of foil-lined 13×9-inch pan. Top with chicken.
BAKE 30 min. or until chicken is done (165°F). Serve topped with fruit slices.
The kids didn’t want to help me cook dinner tonight. The weather just so happens to be outside so they wanted to hang out there instead of in the kitchen with Nana. Fine whatever!!
Have a great week and if you haven’t checked out that app, do so. You’ll find great recipes.

The conviction of Anjem Choudary shows that new counter-extremism powers are unnecessary, free speech campaigners have said.
The Defend Free Speech campaign – backed by The Christian Institute – said the ruling against Choudary makes it clear that existing legislation is sufficient to target genuine extremists.
The campaigners are opposed to planned Extremism Disruption Orders which they say will stifle free speech and hit those who simply hold traditional views.
Choudary was found guilty of inviting support for the banned group calling itself Islamic State, under section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000.
Mr Calvert stated that the case does not show why the Government needs a broad law that could “potentially criminalise many ordinary people who hold traditional or strong views”.
He added that the Government’s argument for its law is unravelling, with a series of problems making the case for “ditching this policy altogether”.
“The complete absence of safeguards, the lack of a clear definition of what is deemed to be extreme, and a plethora of legislation that can already be used against those inciting hatred, promoting violence or encouraging terrorism” show why the plans should be dropped, he said.
Influential political website ConservativeHome also questioned the Government’s extremism plans in the light of Choudary’s conviction.
Editor Paul Goodman said “a workable definition of extremism seems to be a contradiction in terms”.
He added that Prime Minister Theresa May should be encouraged to drop that aspect of the upcoming extremism Bill, “if not the whole measure”.
Last month, MPs and Peers warned that the plans could indiscriminately penalise religious conservatives.
In a strongly-worded report, the Joint Committee on Human Rights said the Government had offered “no impression of having a coherent or sufficiently precise definition of either ‘non-violent extremism’ or ‘British values'”.
Without a clear definition, the Committee said, authorities would have “wide discretion to prohibit loosely defined speech which they find unacceptable”.

Thanks to everybody involved in the Code Ping Pong - it was really fun to do this!
In quick a burst of programming madness, using the awesome Rails Way, and not testing a single bit of it, I scrambled a rails 4 app together. It was very simple - it allowed any logged in user to invite DHH to discuss over a gist of code. DHH could respond with his version and others could vote. Ping pong!
After mailing the first version to David, I realized that my short +/- 75 minute sprint was done with a bit of naivety. He is a busy person after all, and it wasn’t likely he will have time for such games.
Indeed, when he replied, he said that it’s a good idea but time is the issue. We agreed to make this a one-time event, with 5 entries only. I would choose the entries. Since wroclove.rb was in about a week, I figured it’s going to be good occasion to promote the idea. I asked Mateusz to help me make the app look better (the first version was just one big pile of twitter bootstrap elements), we’ve changed the logic a bit, and I went off to Wrocław to announce it at the conference. My goal was also to find few people to help me judge which entries should we send over to DHH - I thought asking wroclove.rb speakers was good idea.
The response was pretty good. Everybody there liked it, and we went to HN quickly. With an extra worker on heroku, it handled the traffic nicely, around 12k views the first day.
DHH was kind enough to take part in its promotion and tweeted the site once or twice. This gave us about 6k more of initial “wow” traffic. It’s crazy to see one tweet having 50% of the power of a HN post.
We wanted to encourage people to submit, but we thought it would feel intimidating to know that your submission would be immediately accepted.
That sadly did not help. We were about to close the submissions and we had nothing. To make it worth everyone’s time we pushed forward the closing date and I asked some friends personally to submit something. In the end, Andrzej and Jacek submitted some legit code, and I’ve added the first thing that came to my mind - a part of refactoring I had just made for one of Netguru’s projects.
You can see the rest of the story here www.dhh-ping-pong.com - DHH responded and all three contestants LOST to his versions! I think this is no surprise though, since his code looked better - I’ve voted for him even for my ping-pong :).
It’s good to see that the founder of our community has time to actually discuss stuff with the community - it inspires me to never ignore anybody that reaches out to me, no matter how busy I am.
Thanks to everybody involved!- it was really fun to do this. Let us know in the comments or on Twitter if you think we should do this again. Maybe with some other core member of our community?

Non hunt ers are very welcome and hunters are encouraged to bring their non hunting partners. We know that for maximum enjoyment for the hunter, the thought of sharing the experience with a loved one is the ultimate thrill.
Many non hunters enjoy going into the field with the hunters and many prefer to go touring each day while their partner hunts.
Either option can be arranged, as well as a mixture of both. All touring is personally guided by Judy, who has a great knowledge of the area and enjoys sharing her knowledge with clients, Additional days for sightseeing and or touring can be added. If the hunter/s and non hunters wish to have guided touring after their hunt, this will require extra days. We strongly suggest this be arranged at the time of booking. Non-hunters are welcome to be in the field with the hunter when hunting the lowland animals. We do not encourage non-hunters in the mountains unless there are special circumstances which would we discussed prior to each mountain hunt.
Though we do encourage non-hunters to go to the mountain camp with the hunters. It is a wonderful camp and the scenery is magnificent. It is our suggestion that non-hunters pursue websites listed below and see the wide array of activities and sights available. The list of websites is not complete. There are many more you will find in your search. If you need help to make decisions, we can also recommend places to visit, and work with you on your arrival so as to maximise the touring time to meet your requirements and match with the time you have to make your dream a reality.Often non hunters arrive with a list of places and things they wish to do. On arrival we go through the list and divide it into manageable days touring.
Any special requests you may have, we will do our utmost to ensure they are accommodated. We can recommend places to visit to ensure the non-hunter enjoys their time in New Zealand. Going on daily excursions, being pampered and guided to view wonderful sights, scenes and activities before returning to the Lodge at the day’s end to share the ambience and hunting stories as you relate your own adventures, adds a new dimension to your New Zealand experience.
Non Hunter payments for lodging and touring can be paid at the end of the hunt before leaving camp.The choices are endless. We will work with you to maximise your time and enjoyment in the creation of memories.
A tour of Fiordland could take 1-2 days dependant on timing allowances. It includes visits to Lake Manapouri, Lake Te Anau, Lower Hollyford, Mirror Lake and Milford Sound.Trip onto the fiord and visit the underwater observatory.
Invercargill and Bluff at the southern tip of the South Island, within sight of Stewart Island and sampling NZ ‘s Bluff Oysters, in season, and Blue Cod, straight from the sea. Invercargill the southern most city in New Zealand, and home of the World’s Fastest Indian.
Doubtful Sound. Manapouri to Deep Cove and an Underground Hydro Electric Power Plant are also keen points of interest.
Catch the ferry or fly to Stewart Island and do a walking or bus tour of the island’s populated area. There are fantastic bush walks or visit the native gardens with abundant bird life. Dolphins and penguins are often spotted here.
Go from one of NZ’s oldest fishing ports to a now prime holiday destination at Riverton. Through some of the more rugged coastal areas of NZ to Tuatapere, a Milling town near the coast on to Coalmining areas and rolling sheep country.
Visiting Central Otago with its semi arid, desert climate – the Fruit Bowl of the South and its newly developed wineries.

Hey everyone thanks for all the tweets and prayers. Scary moment for sure but glad to say everything is ok.
So Saad is ok, but definitely a scary moment. The team announced it on Twitter as a bruised tailbone, but I'm sure Saad is undergoing other testing to make sure there's nothing wrong. But thankfully he's ok.
Saad wasn't the only injury for Sporting though. In the 30th minute, Chance Myers made a very good run up the field that ended in shot by Sporting's right back from just outside the 18. After the shot though Myers came back limping and called for a sub. He was replaced by Kevin Ellis, but the injury is not thought to be too serious, which is a good thing.
As for Sporting's goal, it came off of free kick won by Mikey Lopez only a few minutes after Saad was taken off the field. Jerome stepped up and struck the free kick low towards goal. The ball took at least one deflection on the way in and went past Milos Kocic and into the net giving Sporting the lead. Much of the rest of the traffic the rest of the way was towards KC's goal.
And to complete the odd way the game was going, Peterson Joseph got himself ejected in second half stoppage time for a late tackle off the ball. Only seconds after being called for a foul for running into a player, Joseph went into a tackle with Michael Nanchoff right after Nanchoff had played a cross to the far side. Joseph wasn't actually shown the red card, but the referee pointed him towards the sideline and made him leave the field of play. Joseph continues to have trouble keeping his head at times. This ejection and last year's red card against Houston. He has tons of talent, but it's becoming quite frustrating to watch him make these tackles. Roger Espinoza made some poor choices in his tackles, but his weren't of the same level of Joseph's. Joseph's tackles appear more reckless and with less control than the tackles Espinoza made.
Here are the full highlights.

The weekend was coming to a close and looking back I actually got a lot done! A little housekeeping… A long walk with Charlie and finished up some crochet projects… Just in time to start the next weeks list of to- do’s!
I love the way this turned out, some little sweet pea will get to snuggle in very soon!
Charlie lead the way down the road and around our loop…Of course he had to stop and show me the geese in the field… Next the big decision… Which way to go… To the Lake or town???
