Judges were impressed by how Felsted School, in Essex, developed its digital marketing during the pandemic. Working in a small team of three, and mainly from home in isolation, the marketing team delivered an impressive array of online initiatives.
These included virtual open mornings, which were filmed and edited for online delivery. The events resulted in a strong uptick in attendance, with a 45 per cent increase in attendees to its Reception to Year 4 entry open morning, while there were 75 per cent more attendees for the sixth-form entry event.
For Year 7 to 12 entry, a dedicated new interactive event was created, with breakout rooms for sports, art, music, drama, and design and technology.
A sixth-form subject fair featured 24 subject videos, filmed in advance and promoted via a dedicated webpage, prior to a Q&A session. Meanwhile, a Year 7 taster day involved six different subject experiences for prospective pupils to take part in.
The marketing team also organised an online end-of-year speech day as well as an online parents’ meeting, using pre-recorded videos. And to boost community engagement, the team arranged an online virtual wellbeing event, attended by 20 feeder-school headteachers, as well as other exciting events, such as a hockey virtual masterclass and a STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) competition.
Judge Rachel Hadley-Leonard said Felsted’s marketing strategy was “an outstanding, totally immersive and digitally savvy campaign in response to the pandemic: a truly comprehensive approach, with significant impact on engagement from prospective families, but also benefiting families and schools in the local community”.

Ethnic chambers find new St. Paul home
- Jim Hammerand, Staff writer
A group of Minnesota business chambers are forging ahead with what they hope will be a model for other small chambers across the nation.
In October, the Minnesota Multi-Ethnic Chambers of Commerce Joint Council said it was seeking a space to share with its member chambers to cut costs and present a united front.
Now, two of those chambers have moved in with the oldest chamber in the state — the St. Paul Area Chamber of Commerce — and others are expected to follow.
“The idea is we’re all able to share the back-office infrastructure that every chamber needs, but do it in a way that’s economically viable,” said Matt Kramer, president of the St. Paul chamber, which represents the city and 11 suburbs in the East Metro. “As chambers aggregate our resources and cut our expenses … we become stronger.”
He reached out to Val Vargas, the multi-ethnic joint council’s coordinator, in October shortly after reading of the group’s plans in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal.
In January, the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Minnesota and Vargas, its president, moved from North Minneapolis into three offices in the St. Paul chamber’s 7,372-square-foot downtown space, at 401 N. Robert St., on a year-to-year lease.
The Vietnamese American Business Association is moving in this month, and the Minnesota Black Chamber of Commerce, which said last year that it supported the proposal but wasn’t interested in sharing space, will likely join them this spring.
“We need to be changing the game for how people perceive chambers,” Kramer said. “They walk in the door and say, ‘Wow, this is a new chamber. This is what a lot of entrepreneurs look like in the Twin Cities.’ That’s an important statement.”

Non-residents of US have more PhDs from American varsities: report
Washington, Oct 29 (UNI) A growing percentage of the doctorates the US universities award are earned by students who are not residents of the United States, according to a new report by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
In the 20th century, the United States became an educator of the world, with the largest groups of foreign students coming from India, China, Taiwan and South Korea, earning doctorates from American universities.
International students represent an important means for strengthening the US cultural diplomacy around the world, according to new reports that show that the United States continues to welcome more international students than any other country.
Although international students earned less than 10 per cent of all doctorates awarded in the United States in 1960, by 1999, they were earning more than one-third of all doctorates in the fields of science and engineering and 17 per cent of doctorates in other fields, according to the report, US Doctorates in the 20th Century.
Students from the People's Republic of China, the largest international group, received more than 24,000 of the doctorates awarded by the US universities in the 1990s.
Recent trends in the enrollment of international student in the United States reported by the American Council on Education (ACE) shows that by 2003 international students earned 55.3 per cent of doctoral degrees in engineering, 44.3 per cent in mathematics, and 43.8 per cent in computer sciences.
Between the 1999-2000 and 2004-2005 school years, international student enrollment grew nearly 17 per cent in the United States.
In the 20th century, a total of 426 US institutions awarded more than 1.36 million doctorates, more than three-fourth of them between 1970 and 1999.
The report describes the development of the unique US graduate education in which fundamental research is conducted at universities, typically with the assistance of graduate students.
According to the internationally influential US model, doctoral education is ''organised around an intensive, real-world research experience that prepares students to be scholars capable of discovering, integrating, and applying knowledge,'' the report says.
The report also discusses other important changes in graduate education. Women made up 47 per cent of all US-citizen PhDs from 1995 to 1999 -- a more than fourfold increase from 1960 to 1964, when they earned just 11 per cent of US doctorates.
Minorities now earn about 14 per cent of US doctorates in both the sciences and engineering and in other fields as well.
International student enrollment declined slightly in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, after more than 30 years of continuous growth. The report attributes this decline to a variety of factors including ''perceptions that it is difficult to secure visas and that the United States is unwelcoming to international students, competition from other countries, the high cost of US higher education, increasing higher education capacity in countries that traditionally send a large number of students to study overseas, such as China and India, and increased anti-American sentiment around the world.'' But the report says that visa processing time and visa acceptance rates have ''significantly improved,'' and the latest data on enrollments ''show a rebound.'' UNI XC SI VV1024

Sudan’s former prime minister and top opposition figure Sadiq al-Mahdi died from a coronavirus infection on Thursday, his party said.
In a statement, the Umma Party said that Mahdi would be buried on Friday morning in the city of Omdurman in Sudan.
Al-Mahdi was taken to Abu Dhabi for treatment in early November.
Sudan’s transitional government announced three days of national mourning following Mr al-Mahdi’s passing.
After the military forced Bashir out from power, Mahdi pushed for a transfer to civilian rule, warning in interviews with Reuters of the risks of a counter-coup and calling for the powerful, paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to be integrated.
Statesmen and military leaders, including the president of Sudan’s ruling sovereign council General Abdel-Fattah Burhan and prime minister Abdalla Hamdok, waited at Khartoum International Airport for the plane carrying Mr al-Mahdi’s body.
Sudan has been ruled by a civilian-military transitional government since a year ago, following the uprising that forced the military to overthrow Mr al-Bashir. Elections could possibly be held in late 2022.
Al-Mahdi was one of the staunchest opponents of Sudan’s recent normalization of ties with Israel, which he dismissed as “an apartheid state” over its treatment of the Palestinians. He also accused U.S. President Donald Trump of being racist against Muslims and Black people.
Mahdi was born on 25 December, 1935, in Khartoum’s twin city of Omdurman, the former Mahdist capital, and grew up in the last two decades of British imperial rule.
The Sudanese Professionals’ Association, which spearheaded last year’s uprising against al-Bashir, mourned al-Mahdi as “an inspiring leader”.
Educated by Italian missionaries and later at Britain’s Oxford University, he worked in the Finance Ministry, eventually won a parliamentary seat and had a brief taste of power when he became prime minister in July 1966 aged 30.
The two-time prime minister who was a central figure in Sudan’s political and spiritual life for more than half a century was being treated in the United Arab Emirates.

Isaac Washington, Sr. is highly regarded for his numerous contributions to South Carolina. While Washington is arguably most well-known for his illustrious career in media, he also advocated for civil rights, empowered local communities, and is a proud veteran of the United States Marine Corps. In the early 1960's, Washington took part in numerous civil rights sit-ins and protests, and even marched for the historic Edwards vs South Carolina Supreme Court case. After graduating from high school and college, Washington served in the United States Marine Corps. Washington then established a career in media, fulfilling several director and producer positions at WIS Television. While at WIS, Washington empowered local African American communities by pioneering the "Awareness Program," and provided on-the-job training for African American college students.
After his time at WIS, Washington became the co-founder of "Black News" - a weekly newspaper designed to provide a more positive platform for African American coverage. Later, he became President and Publisher of the award winning South Carolina Black Media Group. Washington has rightfully earned his spot on the S.C. Housing Authority's Wall of Fame, and on the S.C. African American History Calendar.

From water to wheels
Winter Solstice is out of the water in Eamonn Egan's shed in Portumna, drying out for repair work on the hull. So we're in our winter travelling vehicle. We began the October weekend in Galway, parked down at the docks with several other vans, most of which were from the North. I was reading a poem at the launch of Crannóg magazine in the Crane Bar and we'd planned an early night but then The Lazy Blues Band came on and we couldn't tear ourselves away. Great, foot-tapping music. They play at the Crane the last Friday of every month and we're planning to go again.
Spiddal with friends on Saturday night after a lunchtime poetry launch. My friend Kevin O'Shea's first collection The Art of Non-Fishing is just published with Doire Press, and a fine book of poems it is. The sun shone, we pootled about on our bicycles, had a walk on the beach at Furbo before dinner and watched the Aran Islands appear to levitate.
Then Sunday. Wind. Rain. Would we continue on to Westport and keep in place our plans for cycling along some of the Great Western Greenway? The forecast for Monday was good, but could we trust it? In the end we did. Drove cross country to Killary Harbour, then through the mountains past Doo Lough to Louisburgh. It rained. And rained. And wild wind. But it was still spectacular. Out from Louisburgh is Roonah Point where the ferries leave for Clare Island and Inishturk. The Clare Island ferry was coming in. Beam-on waves and rocking wildly. Into the tiny harbour, turning in its own length, passengers ashore and taken on board. Put our little escapades on Lough Derg in a Force Five into perspective.
We found the camper van spot in Westport down at the harbour.
The sky cleared ready for Monday and we were all set for Achill Island, a place of bog and mountain and great stretches of beach where the dogs ran about and rolled in the sand. They won't go in the water though. Fresh-water dogs these. They tasted the salt once and now keep well clear from that weird stuff.
Next an attempt at coffee in a beach-side hotel. It was what was happening on the beach that attracted us, not the somewhat scruffy look of the hotel.
I've made this beg so you can see these are not birds flitting about above the waves but kites, and attached by lines beneath them are surfers scooting from side to side across the white water. They appeared to have perfect control of their direction, turning back and forth. Inside the hotel the remains of many breakfasts littered the dining-room tables. The kite surfers were staying here. The coffee arrived in a teapot and the smell wasn't encouraging. A whole pot of instant coffee.
We left and went to the Beehive in Keel. Ordered afresh. But it was worth it to see these kite surfers.
From Keel on the south of Achill we took the road signposted Keem Strand. The road went up and up, sheer drop to the left (Joe was driving) with no barrier at all.
'Keep your eyes on the road for god's sake,' I muttered, keeping mine there too. Spectacular views be damned. I had to will us to stay on the road, for in circumstances such as this the van, though normally good at staying in a straight line, would surely take it into its head to swerve over the edge, Joe powerless to stop it.
The view from the other side, though, was stunning.
And finally to the Great Western Greenway. We began at Mulranny and cycled towards Newport. This stretch was 18 km long, but we'd only be able to do part of it, not wishing to leave the dogs in the van for too long. In the end we turned here after 11 km.
What joy to have a dedicated off-road path. The only hazard was other cyclists. There were whole families with baby in a bike trailer and little children on a tandem-type affair or on their own mini-bikes. People on rental bikes (doing one way with a pick-up at the end). Serious cyclists two abreast and not moving over. Hi viz jackets everywhere. Sunshine. Smiles. Grimaces as the unfit staggered up the hills pushing their bikes.

I’m concerned that Americans won’t have enough funds to retire, and the problem is getting worse. I hope a silver lining to this recession is that more people will be motivated to include products that guarantee income for life in their financial plans–but hope is not a strategy. I deal with stress by focusing on solutions. In this case, I’m focused on delivering reliable annuity and insurance products to provide the income protection that Americans need now and for many years to come.

FNB has announced today that SMEs can now take up credit and investments through the FNB App.
This feature is available to businesses with an annual turnover of between R0 and R60 million. Small business will be able to apply for an overdraft, business loan, revolving loan or 48 Hour Cash Accelerator notice investment in minutes.
“Historically, our business customers could only apply for credit via branches or online banking. Given that over 50% of all FNB Business credit is currently being digitally originated and approved, SMEs will now conveniently and seamlessly take up credit through a channel of their choice,” chief executive officer of Business Core Banking at FNB Business, Daniel Kaan, said in a statement.
To apply for credit, a business needs simply log into the FNB App, select Business Credit Solutions/Investments, select the credit package they prefer, receive a quote and accept the credit agreement.
“The FNB App continues to play a key role in redefining the entire SME customer experience from the on-boarding process, to enabling businesses to manage day to day banking, authentications, business administration, service and relationship management,” adds Kaan.
The financial institution tells us that is the only bank in the country to offer SMEs a 48 Hour Notice Investment account. The account allows SMEs to access funds within a two-day period and according to FNB, is primarily used to manage cash flow and operating expense.

The National Black Republican Committee has a hard time appealing to African Americans. But, every election cycle, Republicans remember that it is no longer an advantage to be the party of White sanctuary, anchored in the South. They dust off their cross-race appeals, and revive the memory of the "party of Lincoln."
This year the Republican Committee was bankrolled to put a radio ad on the air laying claim to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. as a Republican.
The ad, of course, is an insult. The Rev. King was raised in Atlanta in a family that was opposed to segregation — and thus opposed to the Southern barons of the Democratic Party who were the guardians of legal apartheid at the time.
As an oppressed minority, African Americans vote their interest, not one party or another. They were Republicans after the Civil War, joining the party of Lincoln in legions. They voted for Roosevelt and the New Deal, turning against a Republican Party that had become the party of privilege. When Eisenhower said he'd go to Korea — and get the troops out — African Americans turned to him. As a young boy, I remember folks in my neighborhood wearing "I Like Ike" buttons.
Then in the sixties, it began to change. John Kennedy reached out to the Rev. King in his Montgomery jail cell — and Nixon did not. Daddy King organized a mass movement of African Americans to vote for Kennedy, helping him dramatically in his razor-thin victory. Then Lyndon Johnson — under great pressure from the civil rights movement — led the effort to pass the civil rights laws and the Voting Rights Act. Barry Goldwater scorned federal support for civil rights. African Americans voted in overwhelming numbers for Johnson — and the Republican Party started to adopt a "Southern strategy," becoming the home of those who resisted equal rights.
The Rev. King always believed in maintaining his independence. But he supported Kennedy and campaigned openly for Johnson. He openly opposed Johnson when the war on poverty was lost in the jungles of Vietnam. But he believed strongly in the labor-Black coalition politics of the Democratic Party — and gave his life marching for sanitation workers struggling to organize in Memphis.
Ronald Reagan knew the signals. He began his 1980 campaign in Philadelphia, Miss., talking about state rights and local control. Philadelphia was hard to get to, and not exactly a media hub. It was famed only for one thing: It was the place where segregationists had murdered Schwerner, Goodwin and Cheney. Reagan sent his signal. The Republican Party was becoming the party of Jefferson Davis, not the party of Lincoln. The Rev. King would have been bitterly disappointed had he been alive.
Today, the Republican Party is anchored in the Southern politics of racial exclusion. It draws its leaders from the White South. Bush knows the signals too. He announced he would seek to repeal affirmative action in the Supreme Court, the day after celebrating the Rev. King's birthday.
Was the Rev. King a Republican? Not this Republican Party. The ad is a burlesque — like those who claim that the Rev. King would be opposed to affirmative action, because his dream was of a world where we would be measured by the content of our character, not the color of our skin.
That is Dr. King's dream, but he knew well the shackles left by slavery, segregation and poverty. You can't expect someone who has chains on his feet to compete equally with someone who has springs on his. Affirmative action was needed not simply to open doors, but to level fields.
Dr. King wanted much more. He believed that poverty in the richest nation in the world was unconscionable. He believed that no society could long endure that devoted more of its resources to war than to providing opportunity. He marched on Washington not as a dreamer, but to demand the redemption of a check that had bounced, marked insufficient funds. Against the advice of many of his supporters, he spoke against the war in Vietnam not only because it was immoral, but because it was consuming the resources, lives and attention so vital to make our own society better.
Republicans can still appeal to African American and Latino voters. But it will take more than slick advertising and election year slogans. They'd have to turn back to the tradition of Lincoln, and turn against the race-baiting, gay-baiting, immigrant-bashing politics that has become their stock in trade. And they'd have to develop a real agenda that addresses the interests of poor and working people. No wonder the National Black Republican Committee finds distortion easier.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. is founder and president of the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition

Big-time audience for 'Smaller' commercial
The Oct. 27 broadcast of the Dallas vs. Washington Monday Night Football game, which featured Texas Wesleyan’s new "What we mean when we say smaller" commercial, was the highest-rated Monday Night Football game in four years.
The collective market share of WFAA and ESPN for the game was 36.6 percent, which means one out of every three households in the DFW broadcast region was tuned in to the game.
The 60-second spot ran during the first quarter of the game on WFAA. A 30-second version of the new commercial also ran on ESPN.
The last game to reach the same viewership levels was the New Orleans vs. Atlanta game in Dec. 2010.

Introduction to the Study
The study, published by Autonomy and Alda, as well as the Association for Democracy and Sustainability in June of 2021, took place over five years and examined workers from several different industries in Iceland. There were two parts to the study: one conducted by the city of Reykjavík and another performed by the Icelandic government. In both parts, employees worked shorter hours during the work week.
Of particular note here is that the employees participating in these trials did not suffer a reduced salary or wage while working fewer hours. They worked an average of 35 or 36 hours per work week while the control group worked the standard 40 hours expected of most positions. By the end of the study, it involved around 2,500 employees from over 100 workplaces.
Both trials hoped that shorter work hours could address poor work-life balance and improve productivity; the results might surprise you!
The results of this study showcases that the shorter work week presented several benefits to employees. The study found that these trials showed reductions in working hours “maintained or increased productivity and service provision” and also “improved workers’ wellbeing and work-life balance.”
The report examines the following:
- How effectively work time was reduced
- How service provision and productivity were affected
- Whether improvements in workers’ wellbeing and work-life balance took place
One of the reasons why employers are so worried about shorter working hours is that it can unintentionally lead to overwork as a result of having fewer hours in the workday to get things done, but the anecdotal evidence suggests that this is simply not true. Employees found that it was easier to organize themselves and their work processes with the shorter workday. This goes for managers, too.
Service provision was also unaffected—at least, in a negative way. As evidenced by the study, “On the whole, indicators of service provision and productivity either stayed within expected levels of variation, or rose during the period of the trial.”
In perhaps the most interesting part of this study, we get to the wellbeing and work-life balance aspects of shorter work days and weeks. The indicators for this part of the study were examined close to the end of the study, where stress levels and energy levels were measured. For work-life balance, employees in the shorter work day group discovered that they had much more free time to spend time with their families and were less likely to say no to overtime when it was needed. They were also less likely to take on a part-time job. Other benefits included easier-to-do errands, more balance in participation in home duties, more time for oneself, less stress at home, more exercise, and so many others. It is evident that work-life balance saw many improvements for these employees.
What do you think about shortening your workdays? Do you think that maybe everyone could make use of a couple extra hours to enjoy life on a Friday afternoon? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Brad Paisley, Chris Young, Kane Brown, Cam and more give glimpse of country music's future
With the exodus of superstars including Carrie Underwood and Kenny Chesney over the last year, it’s clear Sony Music Nashville’s focus is on the future. They tightened the spotlight on their new singers even more Tuesday night when Brad Paisley and Chris Young each led a guitar pull featuring the label group’s newest up-and-comers.
Designed to cater to radio executives in town for Country Radio Seminar, the two-and-a-half hour event at CMA Theater featured newbies including LANCO, Mitchell Tenpenny, Walker Hayes and Kane Brown along with recent chart-toppers Cam, Maren Morris and Luke Combs.
The dichotomy wasn’t lost on anyone.
“I’m thrilled to be here with the kindergarten class and a first grader,” quipped Paisley from the stage. Brown, Tenpenny and Morris were in his group. “I’m very proud to be part of this tonight. You’re seeing the future and the past. I don’t know what to sing. You’re tired of me, and I’m tired of me, too.”
Less than five minutes in, Morris had had enough.
“I’m not going to do this all night,” she piped up from her spot at the end of the line. “You’re Brad (freaking) Paisley.”
Paisley, who will headline Bridgestone Arena April 6, kicked his round off with his never-released, comedic song “Cousins.”
Lyrics include: “The love of my life can never be my wife, but we’ll always be first cousins.”
Brown, whose duet with Lauren Alaina “What Ifs” was one of 2017’s biggest hits, bravely shifted the show intensely personal with his song “Learning.” He said he wanted to start with the song because it told the crowd a little about his life. The heavily hip-hop influenced “Learning” includes lines about being beaten for wetting the bed, looked down on because of the color of his skin and reflecting on how many of his friends are dead due to drug overdoses and gun violence. The chorus, however, is straightforward country music.
“It’s a little different but country music is all about storytelling,” Brown said.
Tenpenny, who has yet to release any music through the label, played new song "Drunk Me" that he said would be his first single. And Morris followed up with a soaring version of her recent No. 1 “I Could Use a Love Song.”
When Paisley's turn came back around, he reminded radio executives why they opened the door for him almost 20 years ago. His acoustic version of his debut single “He Didn’t Have to Be” earned a standing ovation.
Young’s round included Walker Hayes, LANCO, Luke Combs and Cam.
Young, who just charted his 10th No. 1 song with “Losing Sleep,” kicked off his segment with his first No. 1 “Gettin’ You Home (The Black Dress Song).” Young is known for his deep, pure baritone and often classic sensibilities. Hayes is the opposite. Influenced by artists ranging from Queen to OutKast, his music is often metered, spoken-word storytelling with a catchy chorus. His open-hearted performance of “Craig” from his debut album “boom.” propelled the room packed with jaded radio programmers to its feet.
Combs' voice echoed through the theater on new song “Beer Never Broke My Heart.” But it was Cam’s performance of “Palace,” her collaboration with Sam Smith, that left members of the audience gasping and at a loss for words. Famous for the more subdued “Burning House,” “Palace” gave Cam the opportunity to show off the incomparable power of her vocals.
Young, widely regarded as one of the strongest voices in contemporary country music, was next in rotation. He joked he was going to let Cam have his turn to sing the song again. He didn’t – instead using the moment to express his gratitude for the chart-topping success of “Losing Sleep.”
Cam closed the round with her new single “Diane.” She explained it as, “‘Jolene’ in reverse.”
“It’s really great old school country where you’re dancing and then you’re like, ‘Oh, that’s dark (stuff),” he said. “I’m tickled with that.”

This is the type of recipe collection you’ll want to have on hand when you want a special meal, but don’t want to veer off your Paleo plan. She also provides recipes for clean cocktails, so you can enjoy a tasty beverage without packing on the calories and sugar.
You can still enjoy all the taste of a juicy, veggie-topped burger without any of the excess calories due to a thick bun or heavy mayo-based sauce. This paleo salad features a hearty burger patty, fresh lettuce and tomatoes, and an herb-y vinaigrette to drizzle atop. We love the richness that a little ground lamb offers, but you can use all beef or even ground turkey instead.
Get the taste of Thailand in a turkey burger so you can cut out a lot of the fat that comes with beef. On Paleo you want to mix up the type of meat you’re eating, and turkey makes a great choice. It will still give you protein and a savory flavor, and can be a nice respite from beef. In this burger they have red chilli and ginger being used to try to capture some of the Thai flavor, and they’ve served it open-faced on slice of Paleo bread. The avocado on top is a nice addition, it cools off the spices and adds fiber and potassium.

This one is a New York Times bestseller and has even sold over one hundred and fifty thousand copies. That's a lot of books - and a lot of people reading! The best part about Paleo for Beginners is that it even includes a huge list of all the foods you can eat while following a Paleo diet. Now you won't have to wonder if your favorite food is allowed!
So glad you commented! I get so excited when I see other local people making healthy lifestyle changes. Making a change as a family is a great way to motivate each other. My dad was a major reason I went Paleo, and we keep each other on track in all aspects of health! About your question, this mayo is definitely tastier and healthier than store bought mayo. I absolutely despise regular mayo, and I love this recipe. If you aren’t a big fan of chicken salad, this might not be the first recipe to start; although the flavor is pretty mild. You can find more in the recipe index though. And yes about Vive! It’s honestly my favorite food place in Mandeville area. The lunch is delicious and they have a restaurant upstairs called Opal Basil. The food is divine!! Feel free to ask any more questions. Good luck in nursing school!
Skillet meals are always nice to make because they generally keep things contained to one pan. In this recipe she’s put together a nice mix of grass-fed ground beef, zucchini, and other supporting ingredients which turns out to be one of the best Paleo beef recipes we’ve discovered. The key is its simplicity, which allows you to enjoy the naturally flavor of the beef, while still getting your vegetables. Tomatoes are used as well, which help the body in many ways, most importantly with their lycopene content. Did you know that by cooking the tomatoes, you’re getting plenty more lycopene than from raw tomatoes?

This is an easy way to musakhan, and if you don’t know how to make this traditional dish, this is a great place to start. It uses plenty of chicken thighs, so you’ll be all set in the protein department. It also contains plenty of spices like allspice, cloves, and saffron. You’ll be getting a few onions in this, but you may want to eat a salad with it because there are not a lot of vegetables being used, and you want to create a nice balance between all that chicken and your vegetable intake. Don’t be afraid to try new recipes on Paleo, trial and error is how our species made it this far.
The one thing to note is that the complexity of the recipes is somewhat divisive. Some people feel that the recipes are simple and easy to follow, while others find them overly complicated. As is often the case, reality is somewhere in the middle. By paleo standards, the recipes aren’t too bad, especially given you need a good balance of macros to maximize performance. Nevertheless, if you are new to paleo, the recipes may seem a little confusing at first, although you would get used to them.
Apples are one of the healthiest fruits you can have, and are something our ancestors would have eaten anytime they came upon an apple tree. Here they’re filled with tasty things like raisins, brandy, cinnamon, and nutmeg, all baked right inside a cored apple. This means that the flavor gets infused right into the apple, which softens up during the baking process. Giving up dessert is not necessary on Paleo, it’s simply a matter of changing your idea of what dessert has to be. You’re getting a healthy and satisfying dessert here with no added sugar.

The pretty and sophisticated recipes are all fine and dandy, but more often than not what we really need on a day to day basis is a bunch of quick and easy recipes that we can prepare without much involvement or fancy ingredients. It surely helps us stick to Paleo when cooking doesn’t seem like a chore or a puzzle three times a day. You’ve got to have some time off from the kitchen and still be able to eat the best food for your health.
When it comes to those recipes, a key advantage is the speed. Most options are designed to be fast to make. Likewise, the formatting of the recipes makes it easy to be efficient throughout the process. While the book doesn’t offer images of every recipe, there are more than enough photographs to keep the book interesting and to guide you on your cooking journey.
Regardless of the origin of the name, the caveman diet has many of the same principles as the paleo diet. It’s focused primarily on the consumption of higher quantities of real, unprocessed, non-packaged food that cavemen could have eaten thousands of years ago, before Safeway, Walmart, and all of the other mega-super-duper-grocery stores we have available in today’s world came into being.

The silence continues for Adele, who announced that she will have to cancel the rest of her tour dates for 2011 to undergo throat surgery. The “Someone Like You” singer has been cancelling shows throughout the U.S. due to vocal illness.
“It is with deep regret that Adele has been forced to cancel her remaining live dates and promotional appearances in 2011,” reads the statement.
“She is to undergo surgery to alleviate the current issues with her throat and a full recovery is expected. As a result, doctors have ordered her to rest her voice and completely recuperate before looking to schedule any work commitments,” the statement continues.
In October, Adele was set to kick off her sold-out 10 city tour of the U.S. on Oct. 7, but announced that she would be unable to perform due to a vocal chord hemorrhage. She also canceled a performance at the Q Awards in London on Oct. 24. She won two awards at the event.
Now, due to her surgery, shows in the U.K. in November will also be canceled. Ticketholders will receive a refund for their purchase.
A full list of the canceled shows is below:

Maria created this fundraiser to raise money for the victims of Mudslide in Mocoa, Colombia.
Here's what Maria has to say about it:
This past weekend disaster struck families living in seventeed barrios in the town of Mocoa, in the southern provence of Putumayo in Colombia. In the middle of the night on Friday, while families were sleeping, three rivers overflowed their banks and created a wall of water, mud and debris that swept away many homes in its path. Over 270 people lost their lives, and many more are injured or missing. We need your help!
No projects have been added yet. Maybe you should remind Maria to do so!
These projects are no longer accepting donations:

In light of this troubling COVID-19 pandemic, being stuck in quarantine for more than three months has definitely come with a lot of self-reflection. Sometimes, depression has kicked in from time to time, but as many people around me know, music is my go-to. I thank Spotify and even the most recent album releases this year for keeping me entertained as we all hope to survive this pandemic (one that seems like it's not going away anytime soon).
For the past few days, I've been interested in discovering new artists, songs, or listening to what's not on the radio. Truth be told, the "Say So" and "Savage" era of this year was pretty cute, but it gets too overrated over time.
Here are a few songs that I have been listening to the most during quarantine. You should also check them out and see what matches your own tastes!

I have a request for a Bostom Creme cake this weekend. Never made one of those before. He wants chocolate cake with Boston Creme.
#1 Anyone know any good recipes?? (I am not a fan of boston creme, so I'm not a good judge. .lol)
#2 Will this work just like buttercream as far as building my cake? I am going to be putting fondant over it.
#3 Does it need to be refrigerated??
Please help. . thank you!
Does it HAVE to be covered in fondant? Boston Cream Cake/Pie is usually covered with a chocolate ganache/glaze coating if you can do this the taste would probably be richer. I have never tasted chocolate fondant to know if it is truly "chocolate-y" or not.
I recently made Boston Cream cupcakes and used this recipe I found online:
If you want to change it to chocolate cake and you are using fondant I guess you just need to find a good recipe for the pastry cream filling. This one was OK - but you could always make up some mini-batches of the pastry cream to find one you like.
I kept my cupcakes refrigerated b/c of the pastry filling and it was summer.
Well, they want it poker themed, so I'm not sure how to decorate a cake with just a glaze over it???
I am picking the money up tomorrow night so I will clarify with them on exactly what they want. . I can either do a chocolate cake with a creme filling or I can make them a traditional Boston Cream Cake/Pie.
But I know they want the poker theme, so I am thinking they'll go for the first choice. . so what filling could I put in the middle to make it taste as much like Boston Cream Cake as possible???
Since Boston cream has pastry filling I think you should stick with it. I would make a dam with butter cream and fill with the pastry cream. Just like with any other "runnier" fillings. Unless you are carving?
Oh, I just thought of something. What if you make a vanilla cake with three layers and the first filling is the pastry cream (or custard or whatever it is called) and the filling between the top layers is chocolate ganache?
You can still do a poker theme. Just make the traditional boston cream style cake with the chocolate ganache (maybe a recipe that sets up harder) and then do accents in fondant or gumpaste. Poker chips, playing cards, dice, etc. It'll work I'm sure.
Adevag - I think that is a great idea!! I discussed it with them tonight and that's how we're going to do it. Vanilla cake, pastry cream, cake, ganache, cake, cream cake.. then I'll crumb coat it with a ganache and cover in fondant. . .that should work right??
They want a fondant covered cake? That takes away from the ganache topping that a Boston Creme is known for. Or maybe you could do a fondant covered one but do an irregular edged chocolate fondant partially covering the top of a vanilla fondant covered cake. So it looks like the ganache that is poured over.
They could really care less about the traditional boston cream cake. I don't think he really knows what he wants. . other than the look of the cake. . and the look he wants is going to have to be covered in fondant.
will the fondant lay ok over the ganache?
I have never used ganache as a crumb coat under fondant. But I have read many recommendations to use it and many like it better than butter cream. As long as your ganache firms up when cooled I think it will be a great cake! Good luck.
Any suggestions on recipes for the ganache and cream??


A little more than a week after the devastating earthquake in Haiti, footwear charity Soles4Souls had already collected 750,000 pairs of shoes from footwear companies and consumers across the country.
Soles4Souls CEO Wayne Elsey said Thursday that while the organization has committed 1 million shoes to the region, he expects donations to easily surpass that number.
“Americans are looking for a way to get plugged in, and we are offering them a simple solution,” Elsey said. “We are making a sustainable difference. It’s about helping them rebuild the country and get it back to some sort of order.”
To date, there are about 8,000 donation locations across the country, Elsey said, and the majority are footwear retailers. The nonprofit already has delivered about seven containers of shoes to Haiti, and has added more staff on the ground to coordinate the efforts as more shipments arrive.
Elsey said he expects Soles4Soul’s Haiti efforts to get another big boost following the Jan. 24 airing of “Extreme Makeover Home Edition,” during which the footwear group was featured.


The mouse, as the name suggest, does come with the RGB lighting that can be conveniently controlled through the Corsair’s customization software. The software itself is easy to use, although, it may require some learning curve, but that’s okay. You obviously get buttons to adjust the DPI to your liking, some customizable buttons, as well as a very, very handy weight tuning system that allows you remove some of the weights and put them away in order to make the mouse lighter. Now in case you are wondering, a lighter mouse means your hand will have an easier time gliding it, something a lot of FPS gamers are looking for.
For a high-end system, we recommend 16GB, so you can have more than one gaming session, your messaging app, several websites, a webcam program, and your video streaming program open simultaneously. A midrange gaming laptop should function fine with 8GB of memory, but be aware that many new laptops are not upgradable. You may be stuck with the amount of memory you order.

The Naga Hex V2 comes with your traditional features that you can expect in a top of the line Razer mouse; you do get an excellent optical sensor capable of delivering a whopping 16,000 DPI. You also get the much revered Chroma RGB lighting that can be controlled and tweaked through the excellent Razer Synapse 2.0. Oh, yes, there’s more, you can even tweak all the present physical buttons on the mouse, and tailor them according to your own need, keeping in mind that all the buttons can be fully programmed. It’s certainly a big advantage for users who want to make sure they get the most out of this mouse. With that said, we are going to take a look at some of the benefits of the Razer Naga Hex V2, and why is it such a good gaming mouse for MOBA gamers.
I've noticed more companies are starting to embrace the loud, clicky joy that is the mechanical keyboard. Known for their marvelous springy feedback and trademark clicking sound, these keyboards offer some of the best typing you're going to get on a laptop. In addition to the MSI GT83VR Titan, you can also get a mechanical keyboard on the Lenovo Ideapad Y900.
We also liked HP's updated battery optimization technology, which offered more than five hours of excellent performance on medium to high brightness. Best of all, this laptop is lightweight and slim. It's actually one of the lightest (4.68 lbs) and thinnest (0.6 inches) affordable gaming laptops we've seen! There's really a lot to like about this machine. It's powerful, light, slim, cheap, and looks great.
VR and the Highest Settings: A GTX 1070 will let you play through just about anything on high settings, while the GTX 1080 is the most powerful card out there for laptops right now and will allow for smoother VR and special effects. These are the cards that will let you start pumping up effects like Nvidia Gameworks. Laptops in this range can start in the high $1,000 dollar range, and, depending on what other specs you need, go over $3,000.
You'll want to make sure you get the most graphics power you can afford from the start since this can't be upgraded later, unlike memory or storage. If you're on a strict budget, go with one of Nvidia's Geforce GTX 1050 or 1050Ti graphics cards, which will give you good performance on newer games at medium or high settings with prices starting down around $600. If you can afford to spend closer to $1,000, you'll be better off in the long run getting a laptop with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 Max Q with 6GB of memory.
These days, manufacturers have expanded their product offering to include more lightweight and affordable computers that have been optimized to run on battery power for longer periods of time. Nvidia and Intel have been very successful when it comes to reducing the cost of their hardware components whereas AMD has not really been able to gain much of a foothold in the gaming laptop market (or in the desktop gaming computer market for that matter). Nowadays, it is entirely possible to purchase a very decent gaming laptop (equipped with a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics chip and a Core i7 processor) capable of running games in Full HD for around 800 dollars.
While a lot of people might be bummed out to know about the downgrade, you actually shouldn’t pay attention to it. The reason is simple, while the Sabre RGB is certainly the cheaper option, a lower price, and a different design gives it an identity of its own, and that is certainly a good thing because, at the given price point, you are getting a mouse that is able to have an impressive 10,000 DPI, a good design that will attract most gamers, and not mention, RGB lighting. So, in simple words, gamers are paying less and getting more when it comes to the Corsair Sabre RGB.
The TUF comes in four different configurations that are similar to the Acer Nitro 5, but has a better keyboard that's cushy for long gaming sessions and Asus says is extra durable, lasting for up to 20 million key presses. However, we found the cheapest configuration's display disappointing with poor off-angle performance and at $699 with a GTX 1050, it was pricier than the Acer, too. Bumping up to its $899 configuration gets you a better display, a 1050Ti, dual storage drives and a six-core Intel Core i7-8750H.
With the specially designed island-style keyboard, equipped with red-backlit scissor-switch key, the ASUS FX502 offers the user a big 1.6 mm travel distance. The larger the distance, the better keystroke tactical feedback. Even more, for user suitability the WASD keys are also highlighted. Not only that this keyboard is a good choice for gamers, it also offers easy usage for college students and coding computer programmers.
In an effort to produce sleeker, more portable gaming laptops, Nvidia launched an initiative in 2017 named Max-Q, a term borrowed from the aeronautics industry. In that scenario, it describes the maximum amount of aerodynamic stress an aircraft can sustain. Here, it refers to a combination of hardware and software modifications that allow higher-end graphics cards to fit into thinner chassis than traditionally possible. By limiting the power ceiling of cards like the GTX 1080 and GTX 1070, less heat is produced, meaning less room is needed for cooling and heat dissipation.
As far as software on the laptop is concerned, it comes with Windows 10, making it compatible with all the PC games. The laptop renders the computer games smoothly in conjunction to the powerful integrated Intel UHD 620 graphics. Moreover, it barely heats up even under continuous heavy gaming sessions. The laptop operates quietly with least sound and is undoubtedly one of the best 17-Inch gaming laptop you can buy under $500.
Powering it is an 8th generation i5 CPU with four cores and eight threads, much like the one found in the Acer Aspire E15, though this one is a bit faster and can reach higher clock speeds. Then there’s the 8GB of DDR4 RAM, and storage that is handled a bit differently. Namely, the GV62 combines 16 GB of Intel Optane memory with a 1 TB hard drive, balancing the performance of SSDs with the capacity of HDDs quite well.
We measured the laptops’ internal temperature using HWMonitor and measured the surface temperature at various points on the keyboard and underside using an IR thermometer. We tested each laptop’s screen using some of the Lagom LCD monitor test pages, and we used each of the finalists for several workdays to get a feel for the keyboard, trackpad, screen, and speakers.
Following this logic, we have witnessed the introduction of many relatively inexpensive gaming laptops such as the Acer V Nitro (later simply called Nitro), HP’s Omen, and Lenovo’s Legion computers. Retailing for around 800 to 900 dollars, these “entry-level” gaming laptops are equipped with a Core i5/GTX 1050 graphics chip/processor combo that is powerful enough for gaming (if you are not interested in playing the very latest games or are willing to trade some display quality for greater gameplay fluidity).
G-Sync or FreeSync: Several gaming laptops come with panels that support Nvidia's G-Sync or AMD's FreeSync technologies, both of which are designed to eliminate unsightly graphical tears and ghosting 0n monitors ranging from 1080p to 4K. While 60Hz is the current minimum refresh rate, there are an increasing number of monitors that offer 120Hz, which offers even faster rendering without introducing stutter.
For many years, the speakers built into gaming laptops did not provide sufficiently good audio quality to take full advantage of a video game’s sound effects and in-game music. Nowadays, some gaming laptops integrate a very sophisticated audio system capable of offering advanced performance, deep bass tones, and adequate power (some examples include the Asus Rog Zephyrus and the MSI GS65 Stealth). For lower-end computers, there is always the possibility of connecting external Bluetooth/WiFi speakers or a good pair of headphones.
We recommend the model with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q graphics processor with 6 GB of dedicated memory, an Intel Core i7-8750H processor, 8 GB of RAM, and a 256 GB solid-state drive. This configuration usually costs around $1,200, in line with the other laptops we considered with similar specs. The G7 is available in black or white; we prefer black because the white lid on our unit scuffed a bit during our testing, but they cost the same, so follow your heart.
Nvidia Max-Q Design - Nvidia has teamed with laptop manufacturers to create Max-Q, a new design specification which focuses on efficiency rather than performance. Essentially downclocking Nvidia GPUs can place a powerful 1080 GPU into the 0.5-inch thick Asus ROG Zephyrus. With less power being consumed, the system is producing less heat, which means the fans aren't being used as much. That means you get a system that's cooler and quieter than your typical gaming laptop and nearly as powerful. Max-Q designed GPUs will include the 1060, 1070 and 1080 GPUs.
This model features the Intel Core i7 7th Gen processor. Powered by 8 GB of RAM, this laptop provides a fluid gaming experience. It comes with 64-bit, user-friendly Windows 10 operating system. The 4 GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti graphics card, coupled with 8 GB of RAM ensures that you can enjoy your games to the fullest extent. Store your game files and other media on the 1 TB HDD and 128 GB SSD. With a 39.6-cm (15.6) display and optimized Dolby Audio Premium Sound Enhancement, the Acer Predator Helios 300 G3-572 gaming laptop is sure to make you feel the true impact of any game.
It features a large 15.6-inch display that delivers a crisp image, but its resolution is only HD at 1366 x 768, unlike our top pick, the ASUS Chromebook Flip C302CA-DHM4, which features a Full-HD 1080p display. The full-sized keyboard has received a solid thumbs up from most users, but some found that the touchpad is slightly too sensitive. One can, however, change the sensitivity settings in Windows, so we do not necessarily view a sensitive touchpad as a negative aspect.
You can be disappointed if you presumed that Kaby Lake made big improvements. While benchmarking the new chip of Kaby Lake has shown nothing breathtaking. The next in line Skylake, packed with the same clocks, runs ahead by a mere couple of percentages. Showing speed improvement of 3%, the Core i7-7820HK is only a bit faster that Core i7-6820HK, which is shown when conducting Cinebench R15 and Cinebench R11.5 at 4.0 GHz
OriginPC - If you’re getting an Origin, it’s probably because you want customization options. The company offers a wide variety of paint jobs and skins and lets you choose from an array of different processors, GPUs and overclocking options. You can also get thermal compounds to keep things cool and you can even pick the exact RAM and storage you want.
For proper functioning of GPU, it is essential to have VRAM of their own. This is beneficial in storing different frames, textures and other required properties for getting frames for the monitor. Finding out how much you require may be tricky. Hence, it is better to go for a laptop with as much VRAM as possible. You can buy a laptop with 3-4 VRAM. If you have reduced budget, you can opt for 2 GB VRAM. You, however, need to ensure that the resolution of the gaming laptop is 1080P.
Solid-state drive: A solid-state drive speeds up boot times and reduces loading times in games, so all of our recommendations have SSDs. Some gaming laptops in this price range have 1 TB of hard drive storage and no SSD, but in those cases we recommend adding one yourself. We prefer at least a 250 GB solid-state drive because 128 GB won’t hold more than your operating system and a couple of games.
Gaming laptops can put a serious dent in your wallet, with some of the fancier models costing upward of $3,000. But who says that the right rig has to cost an arm, a leg and the soul of your firstborn? Fortunately for the fiscally conscious gamer, there are some sub-$1,000 notebooks that can run graphically taxing games like Destiny 2 and Shadow of the Tomb Raider at solid frame rates.

One of my favorite TedTalks of all time is by Steve Tomlinson about finding your calling. I forgot about this talk and was reminded in Austin Kleon’s newsletter (which I really enjoy, fyi). This talk is inspiring and simple. I really liked a quote he referenced that was actually by Aristotle (he quoted a similar quote by Frederick Buechner):
“Where your talents and the needs of the world cross; there lies your vocation.” — Aristotle
Finding my calling has been one of the most frustrating and time-wasting pursuits I have done in my life. This could be an answer to that interview question I really hate, ‘What would you tell your younger self.” Duh, all the freakin answers. Finding your calling is not an event, it is a work in progress. Key word is work. I have spent years wracking my brain looking/thinking/strategizing for talents and that one thing I am really good at that I can turn into a living. How can I get paid to do what I love? The problem has always been I really don’t know what I love. What is my thing? I study and learn everything that intrigues me or sparks my interest, so I have always had the jack of all trades curse hanging around my neck.
I love being well-rounded, but I desperately want to be where my talents and the needs of the world cross. I want people to need my skills and talents, but I have tried for a long time to figure out what my ‘thing’ is. I know a little about a lot of things, more than I give myself credit for, but nothing has ever jumped out. My solution has always been to just keep learning and dabbling and what, you will stop on the one that screams out, STOP! this is the thing for you! This is what you are best at and what you should be doing for the rest of your life? Sounds silly but that is kind of what I was thinking as do a lot of people I think. They jump from job to job hoping one is something they enjoy and they can be proud of and that pays them good money. Never satisfied and the grass is always greener. I’m tired of this approach. I actually like my day job as a photography studio manager because it is around topics (photography, tech, design…)I have always loved and I wear a million hats, so it’s right up my alley, but it is not mine.
I can do more. My insides were exploding with passion and talents and wisdom that I desperately want to shout out to the world and it beat me up for a long time. If only I could figure out ‘my thing’ or ‘my calling’ watch out. Back to the Steve Tomlinson’s TedTalk, the way to find your calling is doing more little things and serve them to the world. One of my favorite things from this whole video was trusting that someone smarter and further down the road will look at your creations and understand what you are trying to communicate or accomplish and open up doors to allow you to do more of what you love. That has been what I’ve been doing once I decided I could not find my calling by listening to 10 podcasts a day or taking hours of Lynda.com classes followed up by a couple of hours of YouTube tutorials, etc.
Find your calling by doing. I started photographing everyday and publishing to Instagram and I enjoyed it. Being a photographer is not what I’m trying to do, but I have always loved the act of taking pictures. I was taking photos of my podcast gear and the tools of the trade as I call them. In my style though which is experimenting with locations, and light and long exposures and time lapses. I am more into figuring how to do things than the final product. My cameras and lenses that I love to use and all the equipment that I love to tinker with and figure out how they work. I love the podcast world because I love audio and microphones and learning how to record iPhones and all the technical stuff behind it. Sure, I like the content, but I more like the behind the scenes and the resources of podcasting. I also like to share my knowledge with others who struggle or do not want to learn the ins and outs of how the Zoom H6 works. Creating and teaching. Combine this two in my unique way.
Learn. Create. Move Forward. is my way of finding my calling and it is working. I still listen and learn to Lynda and podcasts, but much less and it is very intentional as I do not have the time to dedicate to the learning as much as Creating and Moving Forward are more my focus. Creating is moving forward to me. I just keep making little things with my camera or making short videos and animations, and I’m writing a little and I’m learning how to illustrate the gear to turn into tutorials….little creations around the things I love and the things I love to do. I do not know where I will end up, but I do know for certain I am getting better at many things and my confidence in my knowledge and talents is increasing all because I am making things and sharing them. I don’t care about feedback or criticism. I am in self-training and it feels really good and simple.
If you want to find your calling, create little things as often as you can. Like a crazy person, just create something everyday no matter how small or insignificant and as Steve Tomlinson says, the things you love to do start to talk to each other and you begin to see your path. It’s true. It’s happening to me. There is no magic bullet or an answer that some guru sell you in a course, just do little things everyday and the walls will come down. For me, it has started when I decided to launch my podcast with basically no topic which everyone told me I was basically an idiot for doing. You need to know your avatar and target audience and call to actions and pick one niche…BS. You need to start. I saw a great quote on Instagram yesterday, To Begin, begin. You are not trying to find your calling at the approval of others, it is for you. Be selfish in your pursuit of greatness and ignore the ‘protocols’ of online marketing and mastery. Pay attention to the game and learn the fundamentals, but to find your calling, it all starts with the small game. Create something everyday and be patient. I too thought I would swirl around forever searching for ‘my thing’ but the day I decided to just start doing something everyday, my head started eliminating those frustrated voices and I started to find that word that has eluded me most of my working/career life: clarity. What it is I was meant to do and get paid to do.
To begin, begin. Dabble in the things you love to do everyday for one hour or two with no concern for where things will lead, but be sure to listen to yourself as you discover what you are enjoying and by all means if you discover sooner than later how others may benefit or need you, go there. The name of the game remember to your calling is where your passion intersects the needs of others. I’m still working on it, but the pieces are coming together. It all began the day I told myself less learning, more doing. Jump in.
Learn. Create. Move Forward.

We live in a world where technology is exploding and we’re dealing with dangers other generations never dreamed of. I recently read an article describing what an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) would do to the US. While I do think an EMP attack is possible, the magnitude of destruction is what I’m not sure about.
The article noted a couple of different ways an EMP could occur. Through a powerful nuclear weapon strong enough to knock out electronics all over the country. If this happened, I think we might all be dead from radiation exposure. Alternatively, a massive solar storm could cause a similar phenomenon. The article did state that militaries across the globe have been creating and testing “a directed EMP gun” where the gun takes out electronics within a limited area.
Of course, an EMP can range from a minor event to a catatrophisic one. Worst case scenario, some say it could set the US back to the 1800’s. That means no more cell phones, internet, heating or refrigeration, credit cards, or blogs! It would be utter chaos for as much as a year of a massive EMP attack.
Unfortunately, very few of us are equipped to survive in such a environment… remember what happened with Hurricane Sandy and New Orleans, to name a few. We have become so dependent on technology, we can’t even get out of bed without it. Most Americans would have no idea how to grow their own food or the space to grow it. If we were caught in any type of problem that would restrict the transportation of good services, we would be in serious trouble in a short amount of time. We all need to prepare for those times that seem more and more a reality of happening.
I, for one, hope that we never have to experience a electromagnetic pulse that is strong enough to take out all our electronics, whether man made or from mother nature. But, if it did happen and all the lights went out for a good long while, what would you do? Are you prepared?


The five male leads play members of revered rock group "Jethro Balls," who compare stories for a Behind the Music-type program about their sexual exploits with various groupies. The cast is good, as are the sex scenes - there's no denying the stroke value of Tawny Roberts or Lanny Barby getting pounded - and even a few of the mock ads between scenes are fairly amusing. But the poor sound, shaky camerawork and sloppy editing take a good several points away from this one. (One positive side note, though: the quasi twist at the end is pretty fun.)
Retailing: Couples/Roberts groupies.

Bird and Diz is a studio album by jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker and trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie. It was recorded primarily on June 6, 1950 in New York City. Two tracks featured on the original pressing, "Passport" and "Visa", were recorded by Parker, without Gillespie and with a different personnel than that of the other tracks, in March and May 1949. The album was originally issued in 1952 in 10" format as a collection of 78 rpm singles on the Verve subsidiary label Clef Records.

Several things distinguish this from numerous other quintet recordings featuring these two bebop pioneers. It was recorded during the period that Parker was working under the aegis of producer Norman Granz, whose preference for large and unusual ensembles was notorious. The end result in this case is a date that sounds very much like those that Parker and Gillespie recorded for Savoy and Dial, except with top-of-the-line production quality.

In the 38th minute of Colorado’s game at Seattle this past Sunday, Rapids forward Conor Casey laid off a pass near the right sideline and went down awkwardly, under no contact with another player.
It didn’t look good, and the news after yesterday’s MRI is not good, either: Casey ruptured his left Achilles tendon and will be sidelined for eight months. He’s scheduled for surgery tomorrow.
Casey had just been hitting his stride after missing time earlier in the season with a minor injury. He was the team’s leading scorer this year with six goals, and he is also the Rapids all-time leading scorer, with an impressive strike rate of 48 goals in 100 appearances.
One of the knocks on Casey at the international level was a perceived lack of mobility, but, having watched him in MLS during the past few years, we’d have to say the charge is overblown. He covers a lot of ground for a target forward, and does it fairly quickly. He’s also got good feet for a player his size, and, as his numbers attest, he does the business in front of goal. Finally, he’s only 29. If he’d kept his form up, a USMNT call-up might have been in the cards, especially considering the thin ranks of the U.S. team at forward.
In any event, it’s a big blow for Colorado and for Casey.
An odd side note to the unfortunate story: Seattle had a player (Steve Zakuani) seriously injured at Colorado in the teams’ first meeting, now Colorado gets a player knocked out for the year, at Seattle.
In other MLS news…
Red Bulls Send Da Luz to D.C.
D.C. United is fast becoming Red Bull South, as New York followed up its earlier swap of Dwayne De Rosario for Dax McCarty by sending second-year midfielder Austin da Luz to the Black-and-Red in exchange for an international roster spot.
It was unclear whether that spot was to be used on recently acquired German goalkeeper Frank Rost, or if the Red Bulls were in the market for another player. (New York also loaned goalkeeper Greg Sutton to the second-tier Montreal Impact this week.)
Da Luz showed promise in a handful of appearances with New York this season, after struggling with injuries in his rookie year. On June 20 against Portland, he scored one of the better goals of the year for the Red Bulls (after starting the play, too). Take a look:
