have no fear! these pretzels are much easier to make than you might think. You'll need to set aside an hour to let the dough proof but other than that, it's a quick road to homemade soft pretzels.
I recommend using a stand mixer and a scale for the best results!
1. Combine 1.5 cups of warm water (about 110 degrees) with yeast and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Let it sit until foamy, about 10 minutes.
2. once foamy, add flour, salt, melted butter and honey to the bowl. Knead with the dough hook on medium speed until it's smooth and elastic. Take the dough out, sprinkle it with a little flour and knead it a few times on a clean surface. Spray the stand mixer bowl with pam or wipe it down with olive oil. Place dough back in greased bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Let it proof in a warm environment for about an hour, or until it's doubled in size (it'll take longer if it's chilly out).
3. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut, roll and shape dough into pretzels (or knots or sticks... YouTube is your best friend for ideas and how-tos here).
4. Bring a large pot of water to a steady boil, and add baking soda - about 10 cups of water for every 2/3 cup of baking soda. Bathe shaped pretzels in simmering baking soda water for 30 seconds each. Remove from the water with a slotted spoon, transfer to a baking sheet and sprinkle with flaky salt.
5. Bake pretzels for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden, flipping halfway through. Remove from oven and immediately brush with some extra melted butter. dip in spicy mustard or melted cheese and enjoy!

Hear Mike and the Moonpies' Nostalgic Cover of Fastball's Nineties Hit 'The Way'
Texas country band records 1998 alt-rock song to mark the 45th anniversary of the Austin bar that gave the Moonpies and Fastball their start

Mike and the Moonpies mark the anniversary of the bar where they got their start with a cover of Fastball's Nineties hit "The Way."
Benjamin Yanto
Alt-rock and country music may seem like strange bedfellows, but in the hands of Mike and the Moonpies they go together like chili and cornbread. In honor of the 45th anniversary of the Hole in the Wall, the Austin bar in which they got their start, the Texas-based road warriors recorded a breezy version of the 1998 hit "The Way" by Fastball, the alt-rock trio who also launched a career out of the long-running dive bar located near the University of Texas.
The Moonpies stay mainly faithful to the original — there's no two-stepping transformation of "The Way" here — but they do increase the tempo to give the loping modern-rock song a more urgent vibe. It's all tied together by Zach Moulton's dreamy pedal steel and singer Mike Harmeier's upper-register vocal delivery. The rendition represents a return to the formative years for the Moonpies, who held down a weekly Monday-night residency at the Hole in the Wall for three years.
"The Hole in the Wall gave us our start, as it did so many legendary artists over the last four decades," Harmeier says. "From knowing 'The Way' as a huge hit when I was a teenager, to our Monday residency at the Hole, to now cut this song for the 45th anniversary feels very full circle. We're honored to leave our little mark on a place that gave us a home in Austin when we were getting started, as it did and continues to do for countless others."

See Mike and the Moonpies Perform 'Steak Night at the Prairie Rose'
Mike and the Moonpies' take on "The Way" will be released as part of a limited edition 7″ 45 single that also includes PR Newman's interpretation of Timbuk 3's 1986 hit "The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades." Timbuk 3, the duo of Pat MacDonald and Barbara Kooyman, were also a fixture at the Hole in the Wall. Both Mike and the Moonpies and Newman's covers will stream on Spotify beginning May 31st, and the Moonpies, Newman, Mayeux & Broussard and John Evans will perform a special anniversary set at the Hole in the Wall on June 17th.
Mike and the Moonpies' last album was Steak Night at the Prairie Rose, Number 17 on Rolling Stone's 40 best country and Americana albums of 2018.

31st August 2018 saw the second iteration of Student Presentations on Ecology, Environment & Conservation—or SPEEC-UP as it is aptly named—one-day conference with three-minute talks by budding young scientists.
SPEEC-UP is aimed at helping students deliver research in a condensed format to non-technical audiences within and outside the fields of science. What's more, students were mentored before the event on how to pare down their talks, focus on what was important, and convey their excitement to the audience. They were judged for good content, clarity, and the 'oomph' factor - the recipe to a riveting pitch, regardless of topic.
Three students from NCBS went on to win prizes at SPEEC-UP.
Akshay Surendra bagged 1st prize in the Conservation and Environmental Sciences category, and Tara Rajendran secured a runner-up award. Both are students of the MSc Wildlife program at NCBS. Akshay's talk on the patterns of diversity and carbon recovery in forests logged more than once drew inspiration from his work on the Andaman Islands. He felt the SPEEC-UP event was defined by an unspoken, shared awkwardness between researchers who were trying to do their best in a format that they usually try to avoid: story-styled, sans graphs, with added oomph value. In addition, he shares that complicated science with messy, inconsistent results cannot be wrapped up into a three-minute format. Yet, with over two million journal articles published each year, researchers can only broaden their reading through bite-sized summaries, and the three-minute format is just the thing to compel them to be as true to their complicated research as possible.
Tara Rajendran's presentation entitled, "Water usage by large mammals in Kanha Tiger Reserve" gave us an insight of the wildlife at Central India's watering holes. She shone in SPEEC-UP's clear and concise format, which helped students re-identify with what's important about their research. With respect to her study area, she learned how to focus on the critical importance of waterholes in an area of high temperatures and low rainfall - and how little monitoring of mammal species beyond the tiger occurs in the Kanha landscape.
Vaishali Bhaumik from Krushnamegh Kunte's lab won a runner-up prize in the Ecology and Evolution session. Her talk, "To breed or not to breed: migratory female butterflies face a monsoonal dilemma," touched upon the race for survival during migration in four species of South India's milkweed butterflies. Vaishali was delighted with the preparatory sessions and says the mentors put in a lot of time and effort to help students fine-tune their content and delivery. She would definitely recommend other students participate in next year's SPEEC-UP - for a chance to hone their sci-comm skills.

IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD WITH LOU NILES EPISODE #2: BUILT IN SUN from Love Machine Films on Vimeo.
Built In Sun is a new project from Joe Plummer (Cold War Kids/The Shins/Modest Mouse/Black Heart Procession) and Pall Jenkins (Black Heart Procession/Three Mile Pilot/Mr. Tube and the Flying Objects).
I met up with Joe and Pall in South Park. We talked about the new album, how it came to be, the songwriting process, and what we can look forward to from the band:
THE HISTORY OF BUILT IN SUN
Joe was working on a collection of music during breaks between drumming for The Shins and Cold War Kids releases. Joe asked Pall if he would work on some vocals and lyrics for a track. Pall said yes, and what came out of that collaboration sounded so good that a band was born.
Built In Sun's self-titled release is out now on Piaptk Records. It features artists like Ariel Pink, the Blank Tapes, Flaming Lips, Graves, Mike Watt, and more. Get more info on Built In Sun.

To be hired by a specific company, learn the career path most other people have followed to be hired by that company.
This a guest post by Jonathan Degani. If you'd also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines.
When I was left business school, I naturally though that I'd look over the classifieds for a few days, apply to maybe ten jobs, have three accept me and then I'd choose one.
Several months later, I realized I was wrong.
I was sending out thousands of resumes a day (thanks, Jobmaster and Jobnet!) and getting absolutely nowhere. I actually woke up one morning thinking, "maybe no one is responding because I accidentally wrote 'f— you' on my resume". I never use that word, but maybe I wrote it by accident. So I checked my resume and lo and behold, no 'f— you' written anywhere.
There must have been another problem.
I called my old business school for some help with my job search and they directed me to an alumnus who had graduated several years before me and currently works at KPMG. I then figured "ah, here is some proteksia!" I called her and she said she'd help, although it was during a recession so her ability to help out was very limited.
Then she gave me the most practical piece of advice I received during my job search.
The alumnus told me that in order to get a job, I'll have to learn the dynamics of each company and find out the career path that people must take to start working.
In KPMG, the new blood enters either (1) as a CPA or (2) in transfer pricing. From then on, I focused my networking (via LinkedIn, Facebook) to finding people who worked in transfer pricing (see my previous guest post about how to meet these people.) When I spoke to someone from Osem, I found out that in order to work there you have to start out in the PR department. Nielsen's workers all start out in marketing analysis.
Teachers at most schools get their "in" as substitute teachers.
Principals are usually former teachers.
Social event planners often start out at non-profit organizations (as do a slew of other positions).
Graphic designers usually start out doing small jobs to build a portfolio.
Writers try to get their work published in as many small publications as possible.
If you know where you want to go, the best thing you can do is contact someone who is there and learn the path, down to step one. Then focus your job search on getting to that one pivotal step.
If you want to get to your dream job, you need to have not only the credentials, but the relevant experience that can only come from following the career path of that job.

Technology, Family and the Future at von Drehle
In June, Phyllis Lackey will celebrate her 9th anniversary with us at von Drehle. As Director of Information Technology, she oversees all technology operations and evaluates them according to our established goals, creates the IT policies and systems that support the strategies our leaders have set and analyzes the business requirements of all our departments to determine their technology needs. With her team of five, Phyllis ensures the systems and data function for all of our 640+ employees and 8 facilities, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Phyllis has witnessed a lot of growth in her time here: When she came on board, von Drehle had about 300 employees at 5 facilities. Since then, we've more than doubled our team and added several facilities.
With that growth has come changing technological demands, but Phyllis says "it's great to see that the core values of our company have not changed" since Steve and Raymond retired.
That culture, according to Phyllis, is all about our people, and she says her "work family" is the best part about working for von Drehle. The "family first" culture is particularly important to her as a mother of four, especially in the male-dominated tech field. Being a woman in manufacturing for over 20 years is another unique experience, but the respect and opportunities she's been given at von Drehle have been a critical part of her growth, both professionally and personally.
Choosing just one-stand out success story for her team is tough for Phyllis because they have constantly been involved in projects in collaboration with every department in the company. In our 600,000 sq. ft. Natchez facility alone, the network cabling spans over miles. Phyllis and the IT team have performed many major systems upgrades smoothly and without major downtime and established systems for several new facilities (including Natchez). As a company, we are building a roadmap that will help drive technology and automation on the factory floor. It's an exciting time of growth and development for all of us!
On her lean team of five, Phyllis says it's important for everyone to wear multiple hats to cover the many opportunities and challenges that come with supporting technology demands in a growing corporation. Lisa Little has been with von Drehle for 13 years as our ERP system admin. Chris von Drehle has been full time for 6 years and is our DevOps Engineer, Mark Johnson has been with us 5 years and is our Systems Engineer/Project Manager and Chris Pennell has been a team member for 3 years as our Server/Network admin. Mark Williams is the newest member of the IT family, and he will celebrate one year as Help Desk Manager in May.
To attract and engage new talent, von Drehle recently started a technology internship program with a local community college. Pedro Quintero-Sanchez is our first intern, and Phyllis is excited to see where the relationship with the college goes in the future.
Attributing team work and collaboration as the keys to von Drehle's success, Phyllis says she can call on any member of her team for help with any issue and they won't hesitate to pitch in."
Her "work family" is the best part about working at von Drehle, but when Phyllis isn't here, she loves spending time with her four children (1 daughter and 3 sons ages 27, 24, 18 and 14!). They (and we!) keep her busy, but when she has free time, she loves to travel with her fiancé Danny, do outdoor activities and work on construction and remodeling projects at home in Bethlehem.

Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones has been one of my favorite books since I first bought it with my very own allowance in 1989. I braided a red, white, and blue bookmark and taped it into the back of the book. I went through with my pencil and marked out the word 'hell' because it was a naughty word and I wasn't allowed to say it. I still have that copy.
I also have a more recent edition as well as its two sequels; Castle in the Air and House of Many Ways. I even have all three as audiobooks. So, I'm obviously a big fan of the series. I reread Howl's Moving Castle probably ever 18 months or so. It's a slender book, so rereading takes me a day or two at the most. My most recent visit to the land of Ingary was conducted via audiobook so I had a brilliant 8 and a half hours with the characters and the whimsy that makes a Diana Wynne Jones book unmistakable.
Our intrepid heroine is Sophie Hatter, the eldest of three sisters. As everyone knows, it is always the youngest of three siblings that has the best chance in the world. All the best storybooks say so. Therefore, Sophie resigned herself to a life working in her family's hat shop and generally not amounting to as much as her beautiful younger sister Lettie who apprenticed to a baker, or their youngest sister Martha who was apprenticed to the witch of Upper Folding. But fate, and the Witch of the Waste have other plans for Sophie. The Witch, annoyed that Sophie is interfering with some dastardly doings curses Sophie with an age spell.
The now 90 year old Sophie decided to set off to seek her fortune, because she can't stay home looking like that now can she? This puts her directly into the path of the Wizard Howl, the fiend who lives in a moving castle and eats young girls' hearts. Or so all the aunts of Sophie's acquaintance claim. Reasoning logically that if Howl is interested in young girls she shall be quite safe Sophie moves into his castle as the new cleaning woman. She shortly discovers that in addition to quite the least tidy castle in the world she must deal with spells, scarecrows, curses, green slime, love, mandrake roots, fire demons, shooting stars, mending and great quantities of dirt. It's really quite enough to make her mad as a hatter.
This book remains one of my favorites and one of my favorites to sell. There is something for most fantasy lovers and Sophie is a great character for a young girl to get involved with. I've sold it a few times this holiday season, usually to grandmothers looking for something for an eldest granddaughter. The two sequels make it good for fast readers since there is more of the world to explore after the first story is over.
There is a film. Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli put out an animated version in 2004. This version is very different from the book, but is still a magical story. Many of Miyazaki's recurrent themes about pollution and war can be found in the film, but they dovetail fairly well with the framework provided by Wynne Jones. I highly recommend the movie, but, as usual, I urge that the book be read first.


In our last blog, we discussed a few ways that renovations can help your business. We pointed out that the initial impact it has on employee morale is a great way to kick start your brand into going in a new direction of excellent customer service. We also noted the positive impact that renovations have on your customers. It's pretty hard to resist the intrigue that comes with experiencing something new. When your store is improved, it's simply more attractive to shoppers.
1. Increased organization and efficiency. Are you utilizing the space in your store properly? You may be surprised to know just how poorly a company can be impacted by having mismanaged display areas and work stations. There should be easy access to the various parts of your store that allow for customer traffic to flow nicely. As well, you want to ensure that your place of business is always a welcoming environment.
2. Improved brand image. In our last blog, we mentioned that people just get good vibes from businesses that seem to be excelling within their marketplaces. Newly renovated places of business convey that things are going well and that the business plans on being an industry mainstay well into the future.
3. A boost in customer traffic. At the end of the day, this is what all business owners want, right? Encouraging an increase in the size of a customer base is quite often the result of new renovations. This is especially true for customers who may never have visited it before. By creating a more energetic and vibrant atmosphere, you will elicit greater interest from formerly disinterested shoppers.
At Synergy Merchants, we help Canadian business owners get their hands on the much-needed funding to start renovations in their stores. For more information on our merchant cash advance program or to speak with one of our licensed funding specialists to get a free, no obligation quote, simply call Synergy Merchants at 1-877-718-2026 or email us at info@synergymerchants.com.

This resource enables teachers and their students to approach topics related to various faiths and diverse ways of life. And to do it in a nuanced way, without shying away from difficult or controversial questions. This toolkit consists of a series of guidelines on how to talk about sensitive issues respectfully while encouraging people to ask questions and be open and curious.
This toolkit provides practical steps, tools and the rationale needed to engage in youth-led interfaith service-learning. The kit draws from the stories, examples, tools and lessons learned from a federally-supported pilot project (USA) – Inspired to Serve: Youth-Led Interfaith Action.
These cooperative games offer fun and creative ways to ignite and catalyze compassionate action in communities around the world. In these five annual Compassion Games, competition becomes coo-petition as individuals and teams challenge one another to strive together to make our planet a better place to live by way of community service, acts of kindness, and fund-raising for local causes.
The tools in this resource enable young people to become insightful and compassionate individuals, committed to guiding our planet towards peace, healing, justice, and sustainability. This toolkit formulates and develops a new leadership model which integrates spirituality and social justice in the construction of more inclusive communities.
The Walking the Walk youth initiative is a nationally-recognized initiative in the USA that provides teenagers with the experiences, skills, and resources to live in a diverse world, to deepen their own identities, and to break through walls that distance and divide them from people of other religious, cultural, and economic backgrounds.

A: I believe your issue lies in views.py.
Firstly, you are checking to see if the method for retrieving the view is POST. If it is not, you are initializing a form with the POST data that is not present. I have simplified that for you below.
Secondly, you are not passing the POST information to the second form, only the files portion. Have you tried changing the p_form to take both parameters like below?
@login_required

    if request.method == 'POST':
        u_form = UserUpdateForm(request.POST, instance=request.user)

Nine things you (maybe) don't know about Jamie Dornan
Kate Moss has been defined as masculine
It was Count Hans of Marie Antoinette
He is a failed rugby player
He has a past as a musician
He conquered Keira Knightley
He chose his roommates well
The man of dreams
Sex symbols also have complexes
Where it can be found
From his beginnings as a model to ex-girlfriends, passing through famous complexes and roommates: here's everything you need to know about Jamie Dornan
Jamie Dornan is one of the sexiest men in the world much on the big screen, in the shoes of Christian grey, how much on television, where plays a serial killer.
Ever since he landed the coveted role of the super rich protagonist of the saga of Fifty Shades, the attention on him has increased tenfold, but on his own private life very little has always been known.
That's why we decided to go and investigate his past looking for curiosity.
Among famous former roommates and (inexplicable) physical complexes, here's what we found.
One meter and 83 centimeters tall, statuesque physicist, Jamie has a model past and it was testimonial for the biggest fashion brands, especially for underwear: Dior, Armani and especially Calvin Klein have made it their Michelangelo's David.
He was the hadon who rolled with Eva Mendes in the CK Underwear fall / winter 2009-2010 campaign.
And it was also proclaimed "The male version of Kate Moss" from the New York Times.
Originally from Belfast, Jamie had to work hard to get noticed as an actor.
The first major role comes in 2006, when he made his film debut with «Marie Antoinette» by Sofia Coppola, in which he played the seductive Swedish count Hans Axel von Fersen.
It also has dressed as the sheriff in the TV series "Once Upon a Time" before being cast for the role of Mr Gray.
Shortly before, he had also started filming the first season of "The Fall", the series in which he plays the part of serial killer starring opposite Gillian Anderson.
Jamie was a winger of the Belfast Harlequins
At the time he decided to leave university to devote himself exclusively to sport, without finding the desired success.
So - fortunately - he moved to London to enroll in one acting school, which he never attended, having started working in a pub in Knightsbridge.
In general it is a great lover of sport.
His favorite team is Manchester United and lately it seems to have also become passionate about golf.
Until 2008, when he started getting the first parts, Jamie was a member of the "Sons of Jim", a duo founded together with his friend David Alexander.
No garage under the house, as you might think: the group was strong enough, coming to support KT Tunstall on one of his tours.
Credit must be given to Keira Knightley to have good taste and to have seen us along.
When Jamie was still a model and an aspiring actor, he managed to win the heart of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" actress, with whom he had a two-year relationship, from 2003 to 2005.
The couple met on a photo shoot and is love at first sight.
A period that Jamie remembers as particularly complicated because of the pressure from the paparazzi who never stopped following them.
A gym, in hindsight, given the enormous success achieved with Fifty Shades.
Keira Knightley she is not the only star which pops up every time Jamie's past is mentioned.
Before fame the actor shared an apartment with Eddie Redmayne, when he was not even famous yet.
Those were the times when the sex symbol was still single and in which the colleague had not yet won an Oscar.
There are also those who argue that in the same apartment Andrew Garfield also lived, but this version was never fully confirmed.
Contrary to how he appears in his lead roles, The Fall's Christian Gray and Paul Spector, Jamie is a very loving person in real life.
He has been linked to Amelia Warner since 2010, that is, since you are met at a mutual friend's party in Hollywood.
Became his wife in 2013, they have two little girls, Dulcie, three years old, and Elva one and a half years old.
Several times the tabloids have spoken of a crisis between the two, due to a hypothetical Amelia's jealousy of Dakota Johnson and the intimacy she had to achieve with her husband.
The best answer? The birth of the second daughter, right in the midst of the success of the trilogy.
He is one of the most desired men on the face of the earth and to find a defect it should be analyzed under a microscope, and yet also he has a weakness.
Or rather, something about himself that he doesn't like: his walk.
Well yes, it sounds absurd, but it was himself to declare it in more than one interview, claiming to have a "bouncy" gait and to have always had this complex.
Fortunately among the staff members who helped him prepare for Fifty Shades there was also a dance instructor who suggested that he focus on movement, first heel and then toe:
"Nobody told me that before, I always walked starting from the tips ».
A piece of advice that was also useful for getting on most famous stage in the world, that of the Oscars.
Jamie Dornan was born and raised in Belfast
For a while he lived in Los Angeles when he was trying to make it into the cinema.
Now, instead, lives with his wife and two daughters in Notting Hill, London.
If he's not there (or on some set), you can find him in the Cotswolds, east of Oxford, where he spends most of his free time.

UK Diaspora on the right track says Minister Malahoo-Forte
Minister of State in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade Senator Marlene Malahoo Forte injected new confidence into the Jamaica UK Diaspora movement with a stirring address to members of the Jamaican community at the Jamaican High Commission in London.
Minister Malahoo Forte who has responsibility for Diaspora Affairs revved up interest in the Diaspora conference in Jamaica and used the opportunity to reiterate the government's commitment to structured and meaningful engagement with the Diaspora.
She allayed concerns over the selection process for Diaspora Advisory Board members, explaining that the recommendations that were put forward and which became points of contention among some Diaspora groups had not been drafted into policy. She said discussions will take place at the conference with a view to arriving at a workable solution that will satisfy the Diaspora groups and the government.
She added: "To those whose initial reaction to the proposals to alter the method by which the Diaspora Board is constituted was to suggest that there was an attempt to politicise the process, please abandon that thought. This minister and this ministry would never engage in any action that alienates any Jamaican because of their political preference. We serve all Jamaicans and we welcome the contributions of all Jamaicans. I am under no illusion that when you try to implement change, you stir up a lot of emotions. I know how passionate you are about Jamaica and that is what drives your continued interest and desire to serve."
She highlighted the need for strengthening the communication channels that serve the Diaspora to ensure that accurate and credible information is disseminated.

UK Consumers Missing Out on Two Hour's Worth of Video a Month on Existing Mobile Data Plans
Almost 20 million smartphone users in the UK are deliberately buying more data than they actually need each month for fear of being overcharged, according to research from Sky Mobile.

That's the equivalent of losing out on downloading 200 songs or 500 photos; browsing 10,000 websites or watching two hours of video. One in five (21 per cent) say they have "no idea" how much data they have left at the end of each month. The research comes as Sky Mobile release a new set of packages which are designed to be flexible and personalisable, including data which 'rolls over' each month.
