When the local farmers market , backyard garden, or store purchases gives you fresh veggies, there's only limited time to use them.
Usually, I avoid refrigeration if possible. Processing can take several forms, one being roasting. Here is a combo of rainbow carrots, peppers , onions, hot peppers, white onion Garlic, etc. salt and pepper, season to taste.
lightly drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle from time to time with chicken stock while roasting at low heat.
cool, refrigerate and serve as a side dish or any other use.
what ever the workday throws at you, be prepared….
this soup also tasty served cold.
Cooked diced potato, chopped raw green pepper, crumbled feta cheese added to the soup.
Much cooler temperatures, so soup is on the menu.
Diced red (and green) peppers, these were from the garden, the red pepper not as sweet as expected, only several days from being picked. The green pepper tasted mild, picked right before dicing.
Giving time for the garden to produce more tomatoes, used 1/2 large can of peeled tomato , squeezed, added water for four cups total liquid.
Season with a combo of dried pepper flakes, ancho,dried red pepper, and smoked red pepper.
Adjusted seasoning, salt pepper and a bit of sugar. I held back on adding other herbs and spices.
Add 1/2 cup veggie soup mix, 1/4 wasn't enough, probably can add more later or pasta, potato. Simmer at this point for 1/2 hour or so.
Soup mix is Bob's Red Mill, if you make this soup mix alone , that is with just water, it's very bland.
Done, with just the right amount of spice.
When there's a heat wave and it's too hot to add additional heat to the kitchen, it's time to fire up the outdoor grille. After sundown, cooler temperatures outdoors makes for a comfortable respite while bread bakes.
This time one loaf of bread was baked in two heavy duty bread pans (received as a gift), one placed inside of the other so it was double insulated from the coals.
The temperature reached about 400 degrees, according to the temperature gauge on the top of the grille cover, baked for about 30 minutes.
This particular loaf had a soft crumb, the sides and the bottom darker from the top, but not burnt.
Some times the typical sandwich lunch can get boring. Food from leftovers , meals from restaurants or food prepared from home can be containerized. Multiple small containers can provide quick snacking for those 10 and 15 minutes breaks during the morning and afternoon.
One of my favorites is when fresh food is available from the garden.

With no good options, Biden had little choice but to leave Afghanistan
There are fears that the country will become embroiled in a bloody civil war involving a resurgent Taliban.
By Alex Rossi, news correspondent
Thursday 15 April 2021 09:13, UK

The withdrawal from Afghanistan is a bold move by President Joe Biden but ultimately he had no choice but to end a campaign in which victory was impossible.
It will be for historians to decide the legacy but a snap conclusion is unavoidable - the Americans have been humbled by their experience and have achieved very little.
President Biden is probably correct when he says the ability for terror organisations - and al Qaeda specifically - to use Afghanistan as a launch pad for terror attacks has been severely degraded.
But for how long?
The Taliban are undoubtedly still a force to be reckoned with and there is a good chance the country will implode when US forces are all out.
What this means for the Afghan people is horrendous to contemplate - many expect the country to lurch back into a civil war.
There are huge questions also about the ability of the central government's security forces to stand up on their own feet.

How much support and humanitarian aid will still be provided after the draw down is yet to be answered. It will need to be significant.
What is clear is that Afghanistan - with an economy built around two decades of invasion - is totally reliant on foreign aid.
'It's time for American troops to come home'
Mr Biden has no good options.
Whilst leaving may trigger a bloody power struggle, staying was hardly an attractive foreign policy proposal either.
The president is correct though when he says there are many places around the world where terror groups are banded; Afghanistan is no exception in an increasingly unstable world.
It has taken the US two decades to understand why the country is called "the graveyard of empires".
And that lesson has come at an enormous cost in blood and treasure - the bill for the conflict is estimated at around $2 trillion and more than 2,400 US troops have lost their lives.
The White House, by adhering to the withdrawal, originally brokered by Donald Trump, is signalling that the country is now moving on and focussing on new threats - an expansionist China and an increasingly assertive Russia to name but two.
The horror of 9/11 is still visceral and will haunt the psyche of the US for years to come.
But as this century starts to define itself, staying on would only have been an exercise in fighting yesterday's ghosts.

Croatia: Albright Praises Zagreb Archbishop
October 09, 1997 00:00 GMT
By Sonia Winter
Washington, 24 October 1997 (RFE/RL) - U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright has praised the Archbishop of Zagreb in Croatia for preaching understanding and religious tolerance.
Albright said yesterday she welcomes statements earlier this month by newly appointed Archbishop Josip Bozanovic, expressing warmth towards leaders of other faiths and calling for an easing of tensions in public life.
Albright said community and religious leaders play a vital role in Bosnia and throughout the Balkans. She said the ethnic hatred that has split the region was taught and preached over and over again, causing deep wounds that must now be healed with time and effort.
Albright made the comment in prepared remarks on religious freedom delivered at Catholic University in Washington.
She said the promotion of religious freedom and reconciliation among religious groups is a U.S. foreign policy priority that will be reflected in next week's U.S-China summit meeting in Washington.
Albright said the U.S. will stress to Chinese president Jiang Zemin the importance of respecting the religious heritage of the people of Tibet.


If you aren't reducing bounces before your marketing message goes to Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, and or Yahoo email servers Its too late.
Bad emails bounce on arrival, and they take more good emails down with them.
The damage is done, and your sender reputation takes a hit. And until you fix this, you can expect more and more of your emails to valid subscriber addresses to be sent directly to junk email folders and never read.
Unknown: 1,671 (1.95%) – Receiving email server took too long to respond but there is a high chance soft-bounce.
We always recommend immediately unsubscribing Undeliverable (hard bounces) and Unknown (likely a soft bounce) leaving 87.36% of emails left as being valid.
Besides reducing bounces, what happens when you remove 12.65% invalid emails?
Would you expect your open rate to shoot up?
Well, that's exactly what can happen.
Yes, your open rates will go up because you have the same number of opens on a smaller list but that's not where the real increase comes from.
We saw improvements in open rates because more of this customer's emails made it into their subscriber's inboxes. The reason for this is that email providers are "punish" senders of bad emails by marking them with bad sender reputations.
Google and pretty much every other major email provider (Microsoft, Apple, Yahoo, etc.) fight spam with algorithms that punish email campaigners that resemble the behavior of email spammers.
When you bounce emails, your sender reputation takes a hit. And the worse your sender reputation, the fewer and fewer of your emails will ever be opened by your subscribing customers.
Each time you, as a sender (identified by your sending email domain address) sends a large number of emails to invalid Gmail accounts on Google servers, they will then deliver a percentage of your good emails directly to the junk Gmail folders of valid customers.
For the customer noted above, this meant that, had they been sent out, the customer's 9,151 emails would have hard bounced and a large percentage of the 1,671 unknown emails would have soft bounced. Google would have seen this and factored it into their sender reputation downgrading their ability to reach the inbox (yes even for valid opt-in subscribers).
On average, sender reputation blocks 1 in 5 emails meaning for the 74,813 valid emails on average 13,466 (18%) would be delivered to spam.
Recovering those 13k emails and getting them to the inbox can have a major impact on email results.
So its simple, reduce your bounces, increase your opens.
Your top priority should be to have an actively clean and an accurate list of email subscribers. A clean list means reducing bounces and more inbox–delivered emails.
And, this means your audiences will actually see your intended emails arrive in their inbox.
If you clean your lists, you fix your sender reputation, you fix your deliverability problem.
So, adopt these two easy good habits to protect your sender reputation.
Implement integrated real-time email verification into your forms (10 minutes) – More information here.

NYCLT and LMLT have been working together to advocate for changes to the Loft Law in 2014. For the past few months we have focused on getting a bill sponsored which will remove the March 11, 2014 deadline for coverage application and landlord-initiated registration applications by meeting with local representatives at the city and state level. We're grateful to the many community members who have volunteered their time to attend these meetings. We're also thankful for the many tenants who have participated in our online community survey or who have volunteered to share their story, so we can provide representatives with more details about how the Loft Law impacts our community.
We believe the March 11, 2014 deadline should be eliminated because it excludes tenants from the protection of the law for no meaningful reason, and undermines the remedial nature of the law and the intent that it be broadly applied. Tenants who are denied Loft Law coverage will not be replaced by manufacturing uses – instead the units will stay residential and the rents will rise. Affordable housing units will be lost. Many owners will continue to rent the spaces residentially without making any effort to legalize their buildings and bring them up to fire and safety code.
In early May a bill was introduced to the State Assembly (A9545-2013) sponsored by Assemblymember Deborah Glick, co-sponsored by Keith Wright (Chair, Housing Committee), Barbara Clark, Joan Millman, Vivian Cook, Linda Rosenthal and Martiza Davila with multi-sponsorship by Margaret Markey and José Rivera. We thank these representatives for supporting live/work tenants and for their effort to create more rent stabilized housing throughout NYC. As of Friday, May 30, this bill has moved to the floor and has been put on the calendar for a vote – the loft tenant community is hopeful this can happen before the legislative summer recess (June 18).
June 30, 2019: the 2013 Clean Up bill is set to expire. Sign up to volunteer.
June 15, 2017: The 2nd NYC Loft Board new coverage application period closed.
March 11, 2014: The original 2010 NYC Loft Board deadline for new applications closed.

SACRAMENTO — One of the best stories this season, or any season, in Bay Area high school basketball completed a historic run Friday.
Mission-San Francisco, state basketball champions.
The Bears became the first public school from San Francisco to claim a state championship with a heart-pounding, gut-turning 82-75 overtime victory over Villa Park in the Division III boys title game at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.

Mission watched a seven-point lead dissolve in the final two minutes of regulation, then got motivational words from its star player before the extra session.
"Keep your heads up," senior captain Niamey Harris said. "We haven't lost this game. They've got to deal with us for four more minutes."
Mission took charge in overtime against an opponent that had a height advantage at virtually every position, completing a 35-1 season that included a regional win at St. Ignatius.
When it ended, Harris followed through on something he thought about a day earlier.
The senior embraced coach Arnold Zelaya as a large contingent of Mission fans celebrated in the stands.
Harris finished with 31 points on 10-of-16 shooting and six steals. Jayden Foston had 21 points on 7-of-14 shooting and Jamion Wright contributed 15 points on 5-of-11 shooting.
Mission shot 50.9 percent overall and 50 percent from 3-point range.
"I can't believe it right now," Harris said.
The Bears beat the odds all season, proving wrong those who assumed a San Francisco public school could not get this far, could not raise the state championship trophy.
"They fight for respect for public schools in San Francisco," Zelaya said, noting some of the whispers he'd heard.
"Oh yeah, these guys had a decent preseason, but, but, but …"
"But we keep fighting," Zelaya said. "We keep fighting. And 35-1, I guess, it's going to be hard to top next year. These guys are a special group. They're a scrappy group. I've been tough on them, and these guys know it. But it's love. It's compassion."
After the big win, Mission principal Eric Guthertz noted how many messages he had already received.
"The mayor's office, the ex-superintendent, the current superintendent's office, every single high school principal, my 85-year-old father who graduated from Lowell and my father-in-law who graduated from San Mateo High School in the '50s have all texted me," Guthertz said. "This stuff is blowing up right now. It's really a big deal for the City.
"My voice is gone. I feel like I played the game myself. I am a little old for that. My heart is still racing. I have been using my rally flag to wipe off the sweat. My daughter was in the audience. I kept smiling and waving at her. I saw tons and tons of old Mission students and families. It felt wonderful."
Guthertz also acknowledged that it's been quite a school year at Mission.
The state championship came six months after the school drew headlines when its football team, led by Harris, followed Colin Kaepernick's lead by taking a knee during the national anthem.
Guthertz defended the team's actions then and hasn't changed now.
"I feel proud about them in both ways," Guthertz said. "Whether they were taking a stand in something they believed in or winning this whole state tournament, to me that's all beautiful and exactly what we want here at Mission High School. I couldn't be more proud."

Follow this quick and simple tutorial to make a movable Kermit The Frog cardboard puppet – a fun family activity that your kids will enjoy making and playing with.
First draw out the body shapes you need on cardboard – a square with rounded corners for the body, an angled square for the head and eight rectangle, 2 for each leg and 2 for each arm. You will also need two fork like shapes for the feet.
Paint the cardboard, acrylic paints are better than poster paints if you want to achieve a solid color in just one coat.
Use a sponge brush to get a 'rougher' finish to the paint – lighter color green washed quickly across the dry darker green makes the cardboard almost looks like wood.
For the face cut an extra triangle piece and glue it on top to give the face some dimension.
Punch holes in your cardboard pieces – where the arms meet the body, where the legs meet the body, elbows, knees, etc.
Attach the legs, arms and feet with the your split pins.
Glue little triangles of felt to the neckline of the body for Kermit's collar.
Glue the base of the head onto the body (Tip: attach a strip of strong duct tape to the back of the head and body to keep all extra secure). Tape a piece of string to the back of the head to hang your puppet.
Cutting should be done by an adult.

TIME: Has Environmentalism Lost Its Spiritual Core?
Environmentalism began as a religion.
Certainly that's how paleo-greens like John Muir, founder of the Sierra Club, would have seen it. Muir was awakened to nature when he first explored Yosemite in the 1860s, and he felt it in a religious way — he called what would become one of the nation's first national parks "the grandest of all special temples of Nature."
Muir's biographer, Donald Worster, has written that Muir saw his mission as "saving the American soul from total surrender to materialism." David Brower, a spiritual successor to Muir who would found Friends of the Earth, would say of his staunchest green allies that they had "the religion." Environmentalism — rooted in nature and the outdoors — was an antidote to secular, technological modern life.

Nativity scenes sent to all 50 governors
The nativity scene that was sent to governors.
By Katie Glaeser, CNN
This supposedly peaceful time of year has the capacity to create tension - Christmas light rivalries and fights over whether religious decorations should adorn government spaces.
But the conservative Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights says it is just trying to spread holiday cheer by sending nativity scenes to governors in all 50 states.
In a letter last month, the Catholic League told governors and their chiefs of staff that the nativities were on their way and suggested they be displayed in capitol rotundas.

I mean, I think it's an interesting theory though, yeah? If Harry contains the horcrux, he would have a bit of Voldemort's magic mingled with his own and could possibly have some pull on counter-acting the dark mark, especially if the one baring it felt devoted to him in some way. Like, a mentor/son way I mean. Idk lol.
Also, yes. that's my handwriting. Didn't feel like putting a font text over it this time pfft.
I remember reading a few scenes similar in scenario. Ahhh, I want to go read fanfiction now. BTW love your style and their expressions!
I love this! Ive always loved this concept in fan fiction.
I really like the surprised expressions on both of their faces! BTW, I think that your idea is interesting. Don't pay attention to rude comments.
Shouldn't it have changed to a doe? Snape's allegiance to Lily, not to her nasty little brat.
I love the way you drew snape and your handwriting really made this whole thing look amazing, do you have any of those fanfictions or can you find any that you remember?
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! So awesome! Definitely keep fiddling with this idea and send me a link to the story. But this brings up a question! If allegiance to Harry did change the mark or if Harry were to have made his own mark (because fan-base#Dark Harry#Powerful/Intelligent Harry, etc.) would it really be a lightning bolt? I get that as far as the Harry Potter franchise a lightning bolt is what he is known for, so it makes sense. But Voldemort's mark was a snake inside a skull. So shouldn't Harry's mark be something like a Thunderbird or Phoenix rising from the ashes or something pertaining to his personality/goals rather than his appearance?
Wow, Snape. You seriously need to go out in the sun and get a tan. Still, very well drawn! So much emotion in the eyes, and I like the play of light vs. shadow you have here! Also cool shade of green on Harry's eyes, contrasting nicely with that darker-green hoodie. This looks like an AU you should keep fiddling with.
o0o Id love to read this!
I am SO on board with this AU, omg. I am also entirely on board with this picture because of the exquisite detailing put into it, like, DAMN.
The screenplay was mediocre at best. It was a poorly written disappointment. Kind of like a bad fan fiction.
It's not gonna work on me. I'm slightly dyslexic.
I know. I use that as an excuse to make funnies.
....what are you talking about...??
This is art of an AU I created, not Cursed Child if that's what you're on about. I haven't even read it..

Q: Project Euler prob 4 in c? I have come up with this code for solving the problem but the output displays the largest palindrome as 0. I don't understand the issue. Need help. I have just started basic C coding and I am not able to understand the fault with the following code:
#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{

int i=100,j=100,prod,temp,rev=0,rem,l,m,max=0;
for(;i<1000;i++)
{
    for(;j<1000;j++)
    {
        prod=i*j;
        temp=prod;
        while(temp!=0)
        {
           rem=temp%10;
           rev=(rev*10)+rem;
           temp=temp/10;
        }
        if(rev==prod)
        {
            if(prod>max)
            {
                max=prod;
                l=i;
                m=j;
            }
        }

    }
}
printf("\nThe largest number which is a palindrome and is a product of two 3 digit numbers is: %d and is the product of numbers %d and %d\n",max,l,m);
return 0;
}

A: Reset rev for each calculation.
        rev = 0; // inside the loops

A: rev has to be reset for each repetition.

A: There are two things that prevent this code from working. First you need to
reset rev=0 at each iteration. You also need to reset j=100 at each iteration of outside loop.
#include<stdio.h>

int main(int,char**)
{

int i=100,j=100,prod,temp,rev=0,rem,l,m,max=0;
for(;i<1000;i++)
{
    for(j=100;j<1000;j++)
    {
        prod=i*j;
        temp=prod;
        rev=0;
        while(temp!=0)
        {
           rem=temp%10;
           rev=(rev*10)+rem;
           temp=temp/10;
        }
        if(rev==prod)
        {
            if(prod>max)
            {
                max=prod;
                l=i;
                m=j;
            }
        }
    }
}
printf("\nThe largest number which is a palindrome and is a product of two 3 digit numbers is: %d and is the product of numbers %d and %d\n",max,l,m);
return 0;
}

Do landlords want to know how to invest in commercial property?
Do you want to know how to invest in commercial property at a 40% discount to underlying asset value, a 10% plus net yield, with a gearing of up to 90%, paying only 8.25% on the loan. Impossible right. Wrong!
This is how I'm doing exactly this now.
Many landlords and property investors are aware that commercial property shares have been going through a tough time recently with many of them having lost over 50% or more of their value over the last year.
The reason for this are three fold.
2. Discounts between the value of the shares in these companies and the value of their property portfolios have widened considerably from a point that their was no discount to the situation now where this discount is often 30-40% to that of the value of the underlying property portfolio.
3. The market expects further falls.
The result of all this is that net yields are now in excess of 10%, this present an interesting opportunity for adventurous property investors to be able to arbitrage between the cost of borrowing and the income generated from the shares dividends.
Where do professional landlords go for buy-to-let insurance?
One aspect that an investor needs to be wary of is that the dividend paid by the property company is sustainable. This is relatively easy to do by going to the companies most recent final or interim results on a share site such as Digitallook .
How do I leverage my share purchase?
This is the clever bit and the bit that many investors don't know about. There is a financial product which is now quite common place called a Contract For a Difference or CFD. These enable an investor to purchase a share on a margin, effectively borrowing money to purchase a proportion of their holding. So for instance for simplicity sake if you wanted to buy 1000 shares in a company trading at 100p per share. Buying these on an 80% margin you would buy 20% of the thousand shares using your own cash and then the remaining 80% or 800 shares would be purchased using a loan provided by a company like Cityindex www.cityindex.co.uk on which you pay 2.25% above LIBOR which currently works out at about 8.25%.
The upshot is that even if share prices stay the same a landlord stands to benefit from a steady income. If shares go up because the discount to the value of shares to the underlying property assets starts to fall then the landlord could make considerable gains. Obviously the big risk for a landlord and investor is that the share price continues to fall but providing the investor is prepared to take a long term view they can keep the CFD going knowing that unless dividends are cut that the loan costs are covered and that eventually the property and share values will go up.
This is no fly by night property investment company. It is managed by ING Real Estate Investment Management (UK) Limited and was listed on the London Stock Exchange on 25th October 2005. The company's aim is to provide shareholders with an attractive level of income together with the potential for capital growth.
Information in its Q1 2008 Newsletter showed that it had a property portfolio of £596.8 million and net assets of 102 pence per share. It's share are currently trading at just less than 60p a share putting it on a discount to assets of over 40%. Its annual dividend is 6.25p which is over 10% net yield.
There are of course risks in investing in shares and particularly in commercial property where values are still falling. These risks are that the company cuts its dividend to conserve cash or that they breach the lending covenant granted by their banks which normally stipulates that the loan to value does not rise above a certain level, typically 65-70%. However, landlords should also realise that in my view commercial property values are relatively cheap – how many residential investment properties yield a net yield above 10%. Also the falls in commercial property values are factored immediately into the share price, which also reflects expectations of future falls. If the market were to be able to do that with the average house price – I wonder what the current share market would value the price of our residential property investments at?


We took the overnight train from Bilbao to Madrid which was actually pretty comfortable. We were just stopping in Madrid for the day and flying to Marrakech in the evening. Since it's Monday, most of the museums were closed, which was a bummer, but fortunately I've been to all of the big ones the last time I was in Madrid. We did a quick walking tour of the city and then proceeded to our favorite activity – eating! We stopped in the Museo del Jamon for some breakfast/snack and of course sampled some of their ham. We tried a variety, and while they were all pretty good, nothing blew us away.
We went to La Finca de Susana (C. Arlaban, 4) for lunch. The restaurant was very highly recommended in the Let's Go Guide for having "delicious fine dining and swanky surroundings… at an extremely low price." Well, Let's Go got two out of three right: the restaurant had a nice atmosphere, and the price was indeed really low: the lunch prix-fixe menu was 8.50 euros for appetizer, entrée, dessert, and drink. Unfortunately, the food left much to be desired. My sister and I got the quiche for starters while my mom got a salad. Both were pretty bland but we tried to eat as much of it as we could. But when the entrees came, we gave up – they were all so bad that we just couldn't eat anymore. The tuna was rubbery, and the veal was so tough you'd think it came from old jerky. All of us barely touched our food, which was pretty unusual for us. We unanimously agreed that this was the worst meal we've had so far in Europe (and it's still true even as I'm writing this two weeks after…) Maybe we caught it on a bad day, but we certainly do not plan to try again.
Warning you don't try any Chinese food in Spain. My bro stationed there for 6 months, he has not be able to find any eatable Chinese food!!! Good luck to you!
Ps. Say hello to your sis for me!


I am both literary agent, and Original Audio and Podcast department manager.
I am lucky enough to represent a wonderfully eclectic and talented list of authors, varying from on-topic commercial women's fiction to beautifully lyrical literary fiction, (as well as) full-blooded historical saga to the very best of crime. I am always on the look-out for really smart new fiction, whether it be commercial or offbeat. I don't believe in 'commercial or literary', simply in jolly good writing.
I confess to a bit of a fondness for debut authors, and handle a number of successful authors whom I have nursed through from their debut novels. I am very proud to represent several Curtis Brown Creative alumni, such as Kate Hamer, Jane Harper, Rachel Marks, Fran Quinn and Catherine Bennetto. It is a privilege to work with authors from the earliest of days.
I love crime and thrillers with a cosy/family or very unusual element to them. I am also keen to expand my non-fiction list with my taste being on the personal side; think Henry Marsh Do No Harm and I Am I Am I Am by Maggie Farrell. Most important is a strong and compelling narrative strand.
At the moment, I am also focusing on finding a fantastically written novel with a twist of the magical or supernatural, but based in reality, much like The Girl in the Red Coat by my author Kate Hamer. Think along the lines of The Familiars or The Binding. I am also longing to read something to make a reader feel warm and perky inside - think One Day. I am happy to be contacted via email with submissions directly relating to my current wish list.
I joined Curtis Brown in 2003 as an assistant, and also to launch and develop the audio side of their ever-expanding business. I now lead the Podcast and Original Audio department which is permanently exciting and interesting. We handle clients for existing podcasts, as well as helping current clients to develop both podcasts and books written for the audio format only.
Sophia MacAskill is my assistant.

Over the years, Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus have gotten through a lot together. They've faced more than their share of serial killers and psychopaths. But this time two very different cases may cause them to re-evaluate everything they hold dear. One case involves Gabe, the troubled boy they've taken into their home. The other is much stranger--a man is found dead in his apartment, apparently mauled by his pet tiger. There is more to each case than anyone expects. But will Decker's family distractions finally prove too much? And when the truth comes out, will Rina and Peter's family survive?

oh... my... GOODNESS!!! I am obsessed with those beautiful eyes and frosting covered cheeks. Emma was such a doll during her cake smash. She LOVES the frosting. Mom said her little feet smelled like frosting for days after.
Can't believe I have photographed this little love since 3 months old!
This winter weather has been insane! We have had some great warm days and others that were freezing! Gordon really lucked out with the weather for his senior portraits. Gordon was a great model as we went around ODU and snapped pictures! His parents have been ODU season ticket holders for years, so photographing at ODU was very special.


How does Field Effect Biosensing (FEB) work?
Field Effect Biosensing is a breakthrough label-free technology for measuring biomolecular interactions. FEB is a nano-electrical technique that measures the current across a graphene biosensor surface functionalized with immobilized biomolecular targets (Figure 1). Any interaction or binding that occurs on the surface causes a change in conductance of the biosensor (Figure 2) that is monitoring binding confirmation in real-time. FEB is a powerful technology from Cardea that Nanomed have product developed into an innovative graphene biosensor tool for binding confirmation called Agile.
The FEB method on which Agile R100 is based is fundamentally different from optical techniques. Optical tools such as SPR and BLI systems measure mass-dependent shifts in light, which is adequate for large molecules. However, SPR and BLI platforms struggle to measure small molecule interactions because small molecules elicit correspondingly small sensor responses. To find the needle of signal generated in a large haystack of background noise, time-consuming and error-prone solvent correction is required.
In contrast, FEB is a completely orthogonal, breakthrough technology. It is an electrical technique, not an optical, mass-based method. The size of the molecule being measured is irrelevant on an FEB platform because molecule size doesn't impact what FEB measures: the change in biosensor conductance caused by a binding interaction at its surface. In fact, small molecules generally create optimal effects on an FEB platform because small molecules have large chemical potential shifts in relation to their volume, which produces a large response with FEB. This makes FEB an excellent orthogonal technique for small molecule and fragment characterization and validation.

A common line that we hear from our friends who have young kids is "I used to climb, camp, (fill in any fun activity)…and then I had kids." Being a parent–especially of young kids–does not mean that you have to give up on doing the fun things that you "used" to enjoy. This is what bring-the-kids is all about; continuing to have adventures with the kids, even because of your kids.
On our annual 4th of July trip to Jackson Hole, WY we tried to do just that, incorporate our kids into the fun and also insure that mom and dad got to have some serious fun as well. We love to raft and this year the runoff on the Snake River was high, so we wanted to make sure that we got to play on the big rapids. Here are a few highlights of Lunchcounter.
Start by selecting kid friendly, easy to access locations – When rafting, we select a section of river that has a good play area at the put in or take out. For climbing, choose a wall that is close to the cars and has a flat area at the base of the cliff. We went canoeing and the cars were parked 300 feet from the water's edge. Whatever the activity, keeping it easy to access simplifies the whole experience and reduces the planning and gear you will need to take. Save the epic backcountry, remote excursions for when they are a little more experienced or older.
Have activities to involve the kids – As you get your turn, the kids will get excited hearing about what you did or even watching you do it. So if possible, find a way to allow them to try your activity as well. For this trip, it involved a kid friendly float trip on a calmer section of the river. No one needed to sit this one out and the kids loved bouncing around the boat, eating snacks, getting splashed and spraying the other boats with squirt guns. We did a canoe trip in Grand Teton National Park and let the kids come along as well and they loved it.
Invite friends and family – With more people around you get two things, playmates for the kids and extra babysitters. On this trip, grandma and grandpa didn't want to do the rapids at high water and were happy to spend time with the grandkids, a win-win for everyone.
Take turns – We rotate through who will stay with the kids and who will be either back at camp with the kids or cheering as we watch mom or dad go through the rapids, climbing the wall, or out on the slopes. It does take some coordination and effort to get people to come, but wouldn't you rather be able to get out and play, even if it's just for a short time?
Keep at it – As you keep bringing the kids, they get used to being out and get comfortable with what they see you doing. Then when they are old enough to start joining you for more advanced activities, they have a good idea of what to expect and look forward to joining you.

Nominations for the Poker Hall of Fame were opened to the public earlier this week. Poker players and fans from all over the world over the age of 21 may visit WSOP.COM and nominate any person they wish as a candidate for the Poker Hall of Fame.
The nomination process is only the first step towards selecting who will ultimately be enshrined as the "Class of 2012." Usually, no more than one or two persons are inducted each year.
After nominations are accepted and closed, the top ten nominees will be placed on an official ballot. Those ballots will then be sent to a special voting committee, comprised of all existing Poker Hall of Fame inductees (living) and established media who have demonstrated a knowledge and commitment to the game for many years.
Persons who receive the most votes from the members of the special committee will become enshrined into the Poker Hall of Fame — as the Class of 2012. The official induction ceremony takes place on the night of the WSOP Main Event Championship finale, to be held in Las Vegas in late October.
Fortunately, everyone seems to have gotten it right in recent years. The most recent classes of inductees have been extraordinary. Mike Sexton (2009), Erik Seidel and Dan Harrington (2010), and Barry Greenstein and Linda Johnson (2011) were about as deserving a lineup of inductees as was possible.
Two years ago, I had the great honor of giving the official induction speech for Dan Harrington. I consider that rare privilege to be one of the highlights of my career in poker.
I put forth this background material in an effort to demonstrate how seriously I take the Poker Hall of Fame and how much I am determined to enhance the shrine to the game's greats.
Yet for all of my obvious passion for poker and undeniable appreciation for its rich history, until this moment, I have never gone on record in support of a candidate.
I hereby go on record to announce, promote, and advance the nomination of David Sklansky into the Poker Hall of Fame.
Sklansky has done more for the game of poker than any person not already enshrined in the Poker Hall of Fame. He's best known as a player and writer. But his contributions extend way beyond what he's accomplished as a player or an author. Knowing Sklansky as I do, I believe he would most covet the title of being a theorist.
Indeed, Sklansky is a theorist. A thinker. An intellectual. A polemic.
Sklansky was the very first to approach poker as a science. He approached poker in the way a scientist toils in chemistry or physics. Over the years, his master works ELEVATED the game of poker and ADVANCED the concept of poker as a game of skill. In short, his approach to the game transformed poker from being just a common recreational activity to a bona fide academic exercise, meritous of respect, by those both in and out of the game.
Overall, Sklansky has written 13 books — not just on poker but on other forms of gambling, as well. However, all of his material has been extraodrinarily unique in one way, which is his concentration of wagers and situations which offer positive expectation. Anyone who inists "you can't win gambling," has never read David Sklansky.
Alas, Sklansky's quantity and qaulity of writings alone give him enough credentials for serious consideration. But when one also considers what he's done as a player and casino industry consultant, this clearly puts him way over the top.
1. Has clearly stood the test of time. He has been active in the Las Vegas poker scene since the mid-1970s.
2. Has been a successful cash game player for four decades.
3. Has won three World Series of Poker gold bracelets.
4. Nearly $1.4 million in career tournament earnings, even though he only plays a limited number of events.
5. Well respected industry consultant to Lyle Berman, Bob Stupak, and others.
6. Created and patented various casino games.
7. Highly-respected teacher and lecturer. Has given more than 100 strategy seminars over the years.
8. Wrote (or co-wrote) 13 books — ten of which were on poker. He has written books on virtually all variations — including Hold'em, Seven-Card Stud, Razz, small stakes poker, tournament strategy, and general theory.
10. Has a stellar reputation for integrity and protecting players..
(Personal Note: I am sure there are more — I have listed these contributions off the top of my head).
A more personal note about David Sklansky: Let's be honest. Sklansky is not a warm and fuzzy character. But induction into the Poker Hall of Fame should not be a popularity contest. I spoke to him at the 2012 World Series of Poker. We talked about his exclusion from the Poker Hall of Fame. Sklansky was not bothered by his ommision in the least, which surprised me. In fact, he expressed no need nor desire to be inducted. Sklansky went on to mention that he probably deserved to be inducted many years ago (I agree), and has now pretty much given up on the process.
Sadly, most of the general public lacks the knowledge and awareness to make the right decision when it comes to David Sklansky, and others. By "others," I mean persons who have dedicated their lives to the game, but are not as well known. Of course, anyone who has any association whatsoever with the game in any way cannot deny the immeasurable contributions of this man.
Accordingly, I urge you to do two things. First, go to WSOP.COM and nominate a candidate. Second, I urge you to consider nominating player, author, and consultant David Sklansky — the most deserving person of anyone I know into the Poker Hall of Fame — Class of 2012.

Five Classic Movies From The '80s Your Kids Should Watch
A.E. Oats 1 year ago
It's 2022 but we're still obsessed with the '80s. The '80s nostalgia is definitely not going away, as evidenced by the latest fashion trends. Even popular films and shows have been bringing back the '80s such as the Netflix series Stranger Things. The '80s were a golden decade in film. If you want to introduce the glory of the '80s to your children, here are five movie recommendations to get them excited for one of the best decades in entertainment.
The 1986 adventure comedy film The Goonies follows a group of kids, the "Goonies" living in "Good Docks" who attempt to save their homes from demolition. The kids discover an old treasure map in the attic which leads them to an adventure in an underground cave. The film was co-produced and directed by Richard Donner from a screenplay by Chris Columbus, based on a story by executive producer Steven Spielberg. The main cast which comprises the Goonies stars Sean Astin as Mikey, the asthmatic leader of the Goonies, Josh Brolin as Brand, the athlete and oldest member, Jeff Cohen as Chunk, clumsy and chronic liar member of the group, Corey Feldman "Mouth", the talkative Goonie, and Jonathan Ke Huy Quan as "Data" amateur inventor Goonie. The Guardian published an article about the film, saying, "It's a straight-ahead romp-slash-fantasy adventure that echoes Spielberg's Indiana Jones films, and is weirdly similar to Stephen King's scary novel It, which it predates by a year. For me it also shows how Spielberg and Columbus were drawing upon a rather British tradition of kids' adventure stories put out by the Children's Film Foundation and the Ealing classic Hue and Cry."
The science fiction film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, produced and directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Melissa Mathison, was a blockbuster hit and remains to be one of America's highest-grossing movies of all time. The film tells the story of a boy named Elliott who befriends an extraterrestrial (E.T.) stranded on Earth. The boy goes on a quest to help E.T. go back home with the help of his friends and family. The film stars Dee Wallace, Henry Thomas, Peter Coyote, Robert MacNaughton, and Drew Barrymore. Variety's review had high praise for the film. "Captivating, endearingly optimistic and magical at times, Steven Spielberg's fantasy about a stranded alien from outer space protected by three kids until it can arrange for passage home is certain to capture the imagination of the world's youth in the manner of most of his earlier pics, as well as those of George Lucas."
The NeverEnding Story
The fantasy film The NeverEnding Story, co-written and directed by Wolfgang Petersen (in his first English-language film), was based on the 1979 novel of the same name by Michael Ende. The film was produced by Bernd Eichinger and Dieter Giessler and stars Noah Hathaway, Barret Oliver, Tami Stronach, Patricia Hayes, Sydney Bromley, Gerald McRaney, and Moses Gunn, with Alan Oppenheimer providing the voices of several characters in the film. The film follows a boy who stumbles upon a book titled "The Neverending Story" that he sneaked from a bookstore. The book tells the story about the land of Fantasia threatened by a dark force and needs the help of a human child to save the land. Variety published an article about the film, emphasizing its lasting legacy, "The Never Ending Story has remained a personally memorable outlier in a crammed 1980s fantasy film canon that includes Labyrinth, Willow and the heroically naff Krull. Viewed from 2020, that magnificent cluster looks like the last starburst of pre-CGI practical magic, where allegorical realms were ingeniously magicked up from matte paintings, physical puppetry and the judicious deployment of dry ice." A review of the film was also published on RogerEbert.com. "The idea of the story within a story is one of the nice touches in 'The NeverEnding Story.' Another one is the idea of a child's faith being able to change the course of fate."
The 2021 film Ghostbusters: Afterlife has been released last November and stars Carie Coon, Paul Rudd, Mckenna Grace, Logan Kim, Celeste O'Connor. If you plan to watch the new Ghostbusters film with your kids, we recommend that you watch the original Ghostbusters film first. Ghostbusters stars Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Hudson. The film centers on parapsychology research professors Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, Egon Spengler who loses their grant at the university. They end up starting a ghost removal service in New York, later on joined by Winston Zeddemore. The film has received a 97 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with critic consensus describing the film, "An infectiously fun blend of special effects and comedy, with Bill Murray's hilarious deadpan performance leading a cast of great comic turns." Common Sense Media also reviewed the film and wrote, "Director Ivan Reitman's movie succeeds in cleverly combining comedy, action, and some scary stuff. Although Ghostbusters has some frightening moments, Murray, Aykroyd, and Ramis provide enough comic relief to lighten the fears."
The Princess Bride is a fairy tale adventure that you can enjoy with your kids. The movie is narrated from the perspective of a grandfather reading a story to his grandson. He tells the story of a man who faces several obstacles to be reunited with his one true love. The film is based on the William Goldman novel of the same name. The movie stars Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Mandy Patinkin, Chris Sarandon, Wallace Shawn, André the Giant, and Christopher Guest. Variety took note of the excellent storytelling involved in this classic movie, "Perhaps the most striking thing now about The Princess Bride is the framing device: it's a story being told by a kindly grandfather, played by Peter Falk – but to a little boy, not a little girl. There isn't the same gender-stereotyping you'd find if the story were pitched today, and despite the title, The Princess Bride is not a tweeny sleepover movie like Frozen." On Rotten Tomatoes, it currently has a 98 percent rating, "A delightfully postmodern fairy tale, The Princess Bride is a deft, intelligent mix of swashbuckling, romance, and comedy that takes an age-old damsel-in-distress story and makes it fresh."

The first theoretical query addressed during this publication specializes in the lingering difficulty of ways the traditional Maya within the northern Petén Basin have been capable of maintain huge populations in the course of a tropical wooded area surroundings throughout the overdue vintage interval. This e-book asks how agricultural intensification used to be accomplished and the way crucial assets, comparable to water and woodland items, have been controlled in either upland components and seasonal wetlands, or bajos. All of those actions have been crucial elements of an at the start sustainable land use method that finally did not meet the calls for of an escalating inhabitants. This spiraling disconnect with sound ecological ideas absolutely contributed to the Maya cave in. The book's findings offer insights that develop the certainty of the increase of social complexity - the growth of the political financial system, in particular - and, in most cases phrases, the trajectory of cultural evolution of the traditional Maya civilization.
Utilizing newly-declassified records, Grace Livingstone unearths the U. S. position within the darkest classes of Latin American heritage together with Pinochet's coup in Chile, the Contra conflict in Nicaragua and the dying squads in El Salvador. She indicates how the U. S. management used the struggle on Terror as a brand new pretext for intervention and the way it attempted to destabilize leftwing governments and thrust back the 'pink tide' washing around the Americas.
Stone temples emerging above the rainforest cover and complex hieroglyphs carved onto stone monuments provide silent testimony to the excessive tradition of the Maya ancestors of the indigenous peoples of critical the US. they've got encouraged generations of archaeologists, specialist and avocational, to take to the sector looking for the previous.
The hyperlink among deepest enterprises and U. S. global energy has a far longer background than most folk notice. Transnational companies akin to the United Fruit corporation symbolize an previous level of the commercial and cultural globalization now occurring through the global. Drawing on a variety of archival resources within the usa, nice Britain, Costa Rica, and Guatemala, Colby combines "top-down" and "bottom-up" methods to supply new perception into the position of transnational capital, exertions migration, and racial nationalism in shaping U.
Other terms used for this forest assemblage include "bajo forest" (Lundell 1937), "low marsh forest" (Wright et al. 1959), and "tintal bajo" (Ford 1986). Trees in this assemblage are typically 3–10 m in height, with Haematoxylum campechianum L. and Croton billbergianus Müll. Arg. ), is often present. A large variety of transitional forest types exist between the upland forest and scrub swamp forest extremes. Such transitional forests typically resemble upland forest in their structure, but with a lower canopy and species composition that also includes examples of scrub forest types.
Likewise, staff members at Tikal National Park, namely, Benito Burgos, Marco Tulio Castellanos, Mirta Cano, Luis García, and Beto Tesucún, were extremely kind in sharing their expertise and knowledge of the park. Two of Guatemala's preeminent archaeologists, Drs. Barbara Arroyo and Vilma Fialko, freely shared ideas and information; without their advice and support, this project might not have come to fruition. Also, Oswaldo Gómez, another archaeologist working at Tikal, was extremely kind and shared data and advice in a spirit of true academic camaraderie.
The Maya Lowlands of Central America have been especially affected by this research trajectory with past generations of exploration coveting the often-serendipitous discovery of a pyramid complex, palace structure, or set of Classic period stelae. The forces drawing the archaeologist to those tombs/rooms with "yes, wonderful things" (Howard Carter's oft-quoted, perhaps apocryphal words upon opening Tutankhamen's tomb) continue to influence interpretations – likely disproportionately affecting an assessment of the overall social and economic development of ancient Maya culture.
