I love brunch but these days I rarely get the time to plan brunch with the family, so on a lazy Sunday sitting down to this mid morning with a Nespresso (other capsule coffee makers are available) isn’t too shabby!
This is one of the many recipes I created when I followed the 90 Day Plan by The Body Coach. Simply use your plans ingredient amounts instead of those shown in the recipe. There are 220 Create Your Own (CYO) friendly recipes in my app and on this website.
Ingredients for 1 serving
|277 g||tuna chunks in brine or spring water||52 g||peppers, cut into cubes||46 g||spring onion, finely chopped||6 g||butter||0.5||lemon, juice only||2||slices of bread||25 g||reduced fat sour cream||149 g||mixed salad leaves||salt and pepper|
- Pre heat your grill to it’s highest setting and line a baking sheet with non stick foil.
- Take your bread and lightly toast it under the grill on both sides and butter one side.
- Put the tuna into a bowl with the peppers, spring onion, lemon juice and reduced fat sour cream.
- Season with a little black pepper and give everything a good mix before spreading the mixture onto the buttered side of toast, going as close to the edge as possible.
- Pop this under the grill for a few minutes until the tuna starts to colour before serving on the mixed leaves.
- For anyone following 2018 BC plans, tuna is a swap for chicken.
- For anyone following older BC plans, tuna has been used instead of chicken.
- Why not mix up a double portion of the tuna mix ready for the following day!
- For anyone following older BC plans and are on Cycle 3 – if you don’t have bread in your plan you should enquire to see if you may have it added to your ingredients list. It’s unusual for it to be refused, but check first.

Whatever line of work you’re in, it’s likely that some days in the office will be stressful. Tight deadlines, looming presentations and heavy workloads can all create stress. But work-related stress can lead to illness, so it’s important to know how to relax when the pressure builds.
Pressure or stress?
A bit of pressure at work can actually be a positive. It helps to keep you motivated, engaged and is a key factor to helping you meet your goals and targets. However, if pressure becomes excessive, then you may start to feel stressed and unable to cope.
Learning how to relax is a key way to combat the negative effects of that stress can cause. Relaxation helps you slow down and conserve your energy so that you can keep a healthy perspective at work.
Learning to relax is a valuable tool to help you:
- cope with stress
- achieve a healthy work-life balance
- relieve tension
- improve your happiness and wellbeing
Relaxation techniques can also help you get a better night’s sleep, reduce pain and calm your emotions – all things that will help you cope better in the office.
Learning a few simple relaxation exercises arms you with the tools you need to cope with a stressful day or period at work. These only take a few minutes and you can do them at your desk or work station, or standing up if you’re taking a break.
Remember, practice makes perfect. The more you practise certain relaxation techniques, the easier they will become – even in a busy and noisy environment like the office.
This involves using your imagination to focus on scenes that have a calming effect on your mood. This could be the memory of a holiday, a favourite place or even a completely imaginary beach or meadow.
Close your eyes and focus on the image, or images, for a few seconds to unwind and relax. This may not always be the most practical thing to do in the middle of a busy office. But perhaps find somewhere quiet to do it, away from your desk.
Deep breathing, or diaphragmatic breathing, is a very simple but effective way to relax if you’re feeling stressed at work. The best thing about trying deep breathing at your desk is that no-one else is likely to even notice.
Try consciously slowing your breathing and focus on taking regular deep breaths. Place one hand just below your breast bone and one on your stomach. This will help you to notice that your abdomen (tummy) rises as you breathe in and goes down when you breathe out. Breathing out is particularly associated with relaxation, so specifically try to slow down the rate of your out breath.
When you start to feel tense or stressed, take five or ten minutes to practise some deep breathing. It may feel odd or unnatural to start with, but slowing down your breathing can really help you to relax.
Progressive muscle relaxation
Being stressed at work can cause tense muscles. Doing some simple muscle relaxation exercises, either at or away from your desk, will help to physically relax you. This, in turn, should also help relax your mind and improve your sense of wellbeing.
Progressive muscle relaxation is also known as Jacobson’s relaxation or systematic muscle relaxation. For this relaxation technique, you focus on tightening and relaxing each muscle group one at a time. For example, you may tense your right leg muscles, hold for 15 seconds, and then release them.
Try starting from your feet and work your way up your body, tensing and releasing each group of muscles. Imagine the tension flowing out of your body, and try to notice the difference between tension and relaxation. You may also want to combine this muscle relaxation technique with deep breathing or imagery.
Doing some simple stretches at your desk can help relax your body and ease tension. The following exercises are quick and easy to do, anytime of the day.
- Neck glide. Sit or stand up straight, and keeping your chin parallel to the ground, glide your head back as far as it will go. Now glide your head forward. Repeat three times.
- Shoulder shrugs and circles. Sit or stand up straight, bring your shoulders up towards your ears. Hold for a count of three seconds. Relax and repeat twice. For shoulder circles, sit or stand up straight, circle your shoulders backwards three times, with your arms relaxed by your sides.
- Upper back stretches. Cross your arms and raise your hands so that they rest on the front of your shoulders. Now use your arms to push your shoulders back keeping your elbows down. Hold for 15 seconds and then repeat three times.
Top tips to help you relax in the office
You may not always have the time or privacy to do deep breathing, imagery or relaxation exercises at work. However, making some simple changes to the way you work could help create a more relaxing environment.
- Turn off your email for an hour each day, and the phone if possible, to minimise distractions and interruptions. Use this time to refocus or write down to-do lists to organise your thoughts.
- If you’re struggling to focus on a particular task, listen to some music on your headphones to keep out the noise of a busy office. Opt for soothing music, or tracks with a slower tempo.
- Pause for thought. Pausing, just for a few seconds, can help you to relax throughout the day. Take a moment to stop and simply look around, or close your eyes and take a deep breath.
- Make use of your lunch break to get outside on sunny days, or find a quiet spot to read a book. Arrange to meet a friend or go out with your work colleagues for lunch or a walk to help refresh you for the afternoon.
- Make the effort to get up and about throughout the day – mini breaks are important. Go over and talk to a colleague instead of sending an email, or turn an office-based meeting into a walking meeting.
- Consider using your lunch break to exercise. If you have an on-site gym, be sure to take advantage. Exercise is a great stress-buster and can boost your mood. If you don’t have a gym close by, head out for a run or see what classes are happening in your area.
If none of these techniques or tips help to relax you, talk to your manager or someone you can trust at work. Don’t suffer in silence – your place of work has a duty to care for your health. They will more than likely ease your workload if it’s becoming too much or help identify the root cause of your stress.

When I first discovered Fiverr it seemed like a pretty cool concept. There is all this shit you can get somebody to do for just $5. It also seems like a nice way to make some quick cash for a Single Dude Traveler, at least I thought so until I figured out how much of a cut they take. A whopping 20% to be exact, or at least that’s what they want you to believe. The reality is they are taking 30% on all $5 gigs and they’re doing it in a super dishonest fashion. As a seller, when you sell a standard $5 gig, this is what you see:

We’ve discussed the obesity epidemic in the US and the western world in general over, and over, and over, and over. It seems like it just keeps getting worse and worse.

The article goes on to quote the State Department’s reasoning for this 422 percent ass raping.
1. Consular officers must confirm that the potential renunciant fully understands the consequences of renunciation, including losing the right to reside in the United States without documentation as an alien.
2. Consular officers must verify that the renunciant is a U.S. citizen and they must conduct a minimum of two intensive interviews with the potential renunciant. Consular officers must even review at least three consular systems before administering the … [Read more]

As we count down these last few days to October 17, otherwise known as debt limit day, stupidity reigns supreme in America. Everyone is wailing about the “imminent catastrophe” coming America’s way if the Congress and Obama can’t come to an agreement to raise the debt ceiling again. Because, it’s obvious to Americans, apparently, that if you’re in debt, the only responsible thing to do is to borrow more money. Again.

With the gay marriage debate in full swing in America, it’s a good time to address how gay rights activists are hurting their cause through obnoxious behavior, single-issue voting patterns, and short sighted activism.

However, I’m a straight dude that has a never-ending appreciation of hot, intelligent, foreign girls and I’m not really into the fag-hag hipster liberal Liberal Arts degree dropout chicks that you meet at gay pride rallies.

I greatly enjoyed reading the Single Dude’s articles on the pros and cons of Singapore.

Treats For Breakfast
How I love tea! My person usually drinks coffee, so it’s a special day when a steaming mug of tea appears on the table. This morning the tea showed up at breakfast time, right when I was enjoying my morning walnuts. Walnuts and tea! Walnuts and tea! It was so exciting to have two such delicious treats at once that I didn’t know what to do. Finally I snuggled up next to the tea mug to nibble on my walnut, but I touched the mug with my beak every so often just to make sure it was still there. Then I climbed up to the rim of the mug, dropped a few walnut crumbs inside, and took several long delicious sips of tea. What a lucky parrot I am!

Dylan Thomas Way, Llanina, West Wales
Dylan Marlais Thomas (27 October 1914 – 9 November 1953), born in Swansea, was a Welsh poet and writer whose works include the poems "Do not go gentle into that good night" and "And death shall have no dominion", the "Play for Voices", Under Milk Wood, and stories and radio broadcasts such as A Child's Christmas in Wales and Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog. He became popular in his lifetime and remained so after his premature death in New York City. In his later life he acquired a reputation, which he encouraged, as a "roistering, drunken and doomed poet"
Tha Llanina Ruins are in a wood called 'Coed Llanina' just opposite the gates to the Llanina Mansion and St Ina's Church.

(Radio Zamaaneh) | March 15, 2010
Abbas Jafari Dowlatabadi, Tehran’s Prosecutor-General announced that Iranian judiciary has issued execution sentences for six of the Ashura Day detainees.
Fars News Agency reports that after meeting with Ayatollah Nouri Hamadani in Qom, Tehran’s Prosecutor-General declared that these sentences have been issued and are now in the appeals court.
Tehran Prosecutor’s Office had announced earlier that it has issued execution sentences for eleven Ashura Day detainees who have been accused of “enmity with God” (Moharebeh).
On Ashura Day, December 27, election protesters took to the streets of Iran to protest against the presidential elections in June which they claim was fraudulent. Security forces and the police confronted people with fierce violence which according to official reports led to seven deaths and over 700 arrests.
Jafari Dowlatabadi said that 250 of that day’s detainees have been indicted and put to trial.
He also added that the accused are being treated in the “framework of the Islamic Republic regulations” by the officials and they “enjoy the privilege of family visits and making phone calls and having face to face visits.”
Tehran Prosecutor-General maintained that the Revolutionary Court has only put the members of “anti-Revolutionary groups and organizations” to trial and those who have “expressed regret” regarding their actions have been released.
He added that “today at the height of power, the Islamic regime has forced back those who oppose the system and people will no longer allow these events to be repeated.”
The Revolutionary Court had announced earlier that six Ashura Day detainees had been sentenced to imprisonment and fines for the charges of “assembly and colluding against the security,” “insulting senior government officials” and “disturbing public order.”
The Islamic Republic has already executed Mohammadreza Ali-Zamani and Arash Rahmanipour for the charge of “enmity with God” in the post-election events. Their lawyers claim however that they were arrested prior to the election and the post-election events should have had no bearing on their case.

A broad and deep understanding of your business, your market and your customers enables you to identify the products and services that will create sustained value for your customers and sustained competitive advantage for your company. Such understanding, along with knowledge of technology trends, is essential to aligning IT and business strategies to drive growth.
As a healthcare company, we provide services to multiple customers including physicians, hospitals, health plans, employers, insurers and pharmaceutical companies - and of course patients, who are at the center of everything we do. Because we work with all of these constituents, we have a 360-degree view of the health care market and its trends. Seventy percent of healthcare decisions involve laboratory test information, so laboratories such as Quest Diagnostics are at the center of many healthcare IT initiatives. We spend a lot of time with our business partners and customers understanding their needs and how technology can have the most positive impact.
From Market Needs to value-added IT
Here are some examples of how we have used our understanding of customer needs and market drivers to deliver value-added IT services:
We recognized that on-line services could make it easier for large segments of our patient and physician customers to do business with us, and so we identified and developed several new Internet-based services. For instance, thousands of patients visit our Patient Service Centers (PSC) to have blood drawn for tests. We know that a key factor in creating a positive patient experience is to minimize a patient’s wait time in the PSC. So we implemented an on-line appointment scheduling service. A patient can quickly identify PSC locations that are convenient, schedule an appointment, and retrieve driving directions. According to our surveys, patients love the convenience of the on-line service, which puts them in control of their busy day.

These dolls have been sold as of 11-30-17
This is Neveah and Charlie, they are 16 inch handmade rag doll twins almost exactly the same except the hair is a little different and of course their outfits. They are made from a pair of denim jeans that wear only worn once. They both has brown eyes and rainbow colored hair to make it easier to match more clothes.
Neveah has an apron that is minty green with spots, a sky and sun patterned dress, and pink bloomers. Her feet are teal corduroy, as is Charlie’s. Charlie has orange overalls and a shirt that matches Neveah’s dress. I thought Charlie could be either a boy or girl name, I did see a cute little girl at the park the other day with at name (light bulb moment LOL). Neveah is a girl though, I didn’t put a bow on her because I wanted them to be interchangeable but if you want bows in either or both just ask and I will add them on (no extra charge).
They are $60 for the Set or $30 a piece plus shipping.
I will also make more clothing for them if you would like for $5 a piece. I do offer discounts for the more you order, such as 1 more outfit for each would be $20 for 5 piece not $25. These can be ordered at a later date too, just message me and tell you want to order more 16 inch doll clothes.

Reets Drying Academy hosts IICRC Commercial Drying Specialist Course
Thursday, January 28, 2010 SHARPSBURG, GA — Reets Drying Academy in Atlanta, Georgia, was host to the first ever Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) Commercial Drying Specialist Course in the U.S. on January 11-15, according to a press release.
According to the release, the course, led by instructor Scott Mims, instructed professionals on how to manage, document and handle large water losses in a commercial setting, and featured a unique hands on training portion in which students learned in a large hotel in a water damage simulation creating a drying plan of action.
Jeremy Reets, founder of Reets Drying Academy, said: “Until this point there wasn’t a standardized course offered from the IICRC covering the details of large losses from start to finish.”
The hands on training proved to be a highlight of the course for students, the release stated.
“The students were blown away by the opportunity to actually be in a facility, put their hands on the blueprints and build a strategy for drying a multi-story commercial loss,” said Reets.
According to Mims, the course is designed for businesses of all sizes, the release stated.
Mims said: “This is not just a course about drying hotels and high rises; it also encompasses commercial, industrial, institutional and complex residential water damages. Everyone can benefit from this course. No matter how big or small their company is.”
The IICRC Commercial Drying Specialist course will be offered again July 26-30 at Reets Drying Academy, the release added.

The LT-9500 Illumatool Tunable Lighting System is the model most researcher use for viewing. For example, in a recent paper1, Yang, et al used the Illumatool for real-time imaging of GFP-expressing tumors growing and metastasizing in live mice, affording "unprecedented continuous visual monitoring of malignant growth and spread within intact animals". The Lightools Illumatool systems have positive results with both GFP and RFP.

Sugar Awareness Week 2018
This week all across the UK has been Sugar Awareness Week. The week is set up by Action On Sugar, who aim to celebrate the success of the food industry, government and NGOs' progress so far, and discuss the future for sugar and calorie reduction and its place in the government’s Childhood Obesity Plan. The success in raising awareness of the harm that sugar can do to the body is shown by the fact that sugar has recently overtaken price as the primary concern for shoppers in the UK. Sugar has also been linked closely to childhood obesity – a problem that continues to grow in the UK – with the government and Public Health England now producing genuine legislation to tackle the problem, such as the Sugar Tax.
Relating to childhood obesity The Local Government Association (LGA) has stated that obese children risked having their adult life cut short by a host of health problems related to childhood obesity, including; diabetes, cancer and heart disease. The LGA stated that “today's obese children will become tomorrow's obese adults” and that urgent joint action needs to be taken to prevent the situation from exacerbating. Simon Capewell, a professor in public health and policy at Liverpool University is quoted as saying “We have completely adopted the American lifestyle with the inevitable consequences… This is a preventable catastrophe”. – This is why Sugar Awareness Week is so important.
The theme of this year’s week is ‘Eating out’. We as a nation love to eat out in cafés and restaurants and Action On Sugar feel “it is disgraceful that many do not have nutrition information available at point of choice. It is even more shocking that when there is, it reveals unnecessarily high levels of sugar and calories.” Action on Sugar want to see clear nutrition labelling when we eat out, and a reduction in portion size, sugar and calories.
Cutting down on unnecessary calories and sugar can be a critical tool to help fight obesity and diabetes. The sort of thing that Action On Sugar are talking about are items on menus such as the Freakshake at Toby Carvery – something our founder Sara Roberts has been particularly vocal on. It contains 39 grams of sugar and contains 7 TIMES the recommended amount of sugar for a 7-10 year old child in their average day. Cutting down on unnecessary junk like this is what Action On Sugar feel could be critical to reducing obesity, diabetes and making this country a healthier place to live.

ABOUT LAURENCE BONFOEY
My name is Laurence Bonfoey and I was born and raised in Tucson, AZ. My love of dance began in 1974 when a friend invited me to a Country Western night club. Dancing grabbed my heart and never let go.
In 1975 I began working full time at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Tucson, achieving both my Bronze and Silver levels of Ballroom Dance. Soon after, I traveled across the United States as a dance Instructor. I moved back to Tucson, taught dance at Pima Community College for 18 years, then opened The Bonfoey Studio of Fine Art and Dance in 1992. I had a staff of eight instructors who taught over 30 classes a week.
LOVE OF WESTERN DANCING
My special niche of dancing became Country Western.
Private dance lessons have been always available 7 days a week.
My passion and desire to dance and loving great Country Western music has inspired me to teach for over 45 Years.
DANCING WITH MY HORSE
When I am not teaching, you will find me dancing with my Paso Fino mare, aptly named Dancer. I got her as a young filly at 11/2 years old, and trained her using natural horsemanship methods. Like dancing with humans, the two of us communicated with very light cues, reading each other's body language and moving in harmony. Dancing has brought so much joy to my life!
Love you man your the best teacher!!! Love your energy to!!

Weekly Market Update
Next week’s post-meeting statement will be accompanied by an updated Summary of Economic Projections. Recent data point to significant positive adjustments from those of September. The median consensus forecast of a 4% annualized increase in Q4, for example, would place the level of real GDP at a better-than-expected 2.5% below that of autumn 2019. Moreover, with November’s unemployment rate clocking in at 6.7%, a sizable downward adjustment to the 7.6% level previously anticipated by Federal Reserve officials in Q4 is undoubtedly in the offing. Overall and core PCE inflation estimates for year-end 2020 probably will remain intact.
Industrial Production & Capacity Utilization: Powered by a modest uptick in manufacturing output, industrial production probably edged 0.3% higher in November, following a 1.1% jump in the previous month. The anticipated output gain, if realized, would propel the overall operating rate to an eight-month high 73.0%.
Retail & Food Services Sales: Reflecting an already reported pullback in motor vehicle purchases, retail sales likely dipped by 0.2% last month, erasing two thirds of October’s gain. Retail control – the portion of the Census Bureau’s report that excludes outlays on autos, building materials, and gasoline used to estimate nominal consumer spending in GDP – probably climbed by 0.3%, after a 0.1% prior-month uptick. Sales at non-store retailers, which jumped by 3.1% in October, could give early clues to how this year’s holiday shopping season is shaping up.
NAHB Housing Market Index: The ongoing uptrend in home-purchase mortgage applications implies that builder sentiment probably remained near last month’s record high in December.
Housing Starts & Building Permits: Unusually warm and dry weather conditions, along with an already reported rise in construction hours worked, suggest that groundbreakings and building applications both moved higher in November.
Initial Jobless Claims: Given the surprising jumps in initial and continuing jobless claims posted last week, the upcoming release will be watched closely to gauge any deceleration in labor-market improvements beyond the November employment report.
Federal Reserve Appearances:
Dec. 16: 2:00pm FOMC meeting statement and Fed’s Summary of Economic Projections to be released.
Dec. 16:2:30pm Fed Chair Powell to hold post-FOMC meeting press conference.
Source: BLS; FRB Atlanta/NY/St. Louis; FHLB-NY. While the pace of business activity is expected to slow during the current quarter from the summer’s breakneck 33.1% annualized pace, the range of projections is exceptionally wide. The median 4.5% annualized increase during the current quarter anticipated by the Bloomberg consensus would leave year-end real GDP at 2.4% below its Q4 2019 level, thereby implying that the lost output from the pandemic likely will not be recouped until the middle of 2021. The alarming increase in Coronavirus infections experienced recently nationwide suggests that the risks lie to the downside on near-term growth, but any shortfall probably will be recovered quickly once vaccines become widely available and taken by the populace.
CHART 2 – UPPER RIGHT
Source: Bloomberg. In the past week, the UST curve swung back and “bull flattened” from its levels of a week ago. The Fed’s guidance and programs have served to pin the shorter maturities, and so again it was maturities 4-year and longer leading the shifts. But short maturities also declined a few bps this week. Overall, however, the curve remains steeper and higher than three months ago. This week’s move, despite the long-end UST auctions during the week, resulted from talks on a fresh relief package faltering in combination with a dramatically worsening Covid-19 situation and worsening job market data. Moreover, there is a chance that this week’s FOMC announces its intention to extend the duration of its UST securities purchases, and this dynamic has kept steepening in check. Helping the curve remain in a near-term “tug of war” between steepening/flattening is that a relief package (and a potentially bigger one if the Senate flips its majority) will bring increased UST supply in the longer end of the curve, in addition to the economy being afforded, in a more medium-term horizon, significant support when the COVID vaccination process successfully and hopefully plays out.
CHART 3 – LOWER LEFT
Source: Bloomberg. Given the upcoming FOMC meeting, let us revisit the Fed “Dot Plot” and short-rate curves. It is doubtful much will change post-meeting. While the Fed’s Dot projections “flat-line” until the end of 2023, the markets, per the OIS curve, price for a mildly increasing chance of a hike during 2023. With the ongoing uncertainty of the pandemic and economic recovery, the Fed will likely reinforce its accommodative guidance.
CHART 4 – LOWER RIGHT
Source: FHLBNY; Barclays. Portrayed here is the weighted average maturity distribution ($bn y-axis, years x-axis) of the Fed’s UST purchases. The Fed has recently edged higher both the WAM and duration on purchases. The markets will closely monitor any official nod towards more concerted maturity extensions; it is expected that the 7 to 20-year sector would witness more of the Fed’s buying.
FHLBNY Advance Rates Observations
Short-end Advance rates were flat to a bp lower week-on-week. T-bill issuance has been a market feature, as usual, but net supply has slowed and thereby allowed for easier market absorption. Assisting the slight dip in rates was a ~$23bn increase in money market funds’ AUM this past week, led by a sizable ~$25bn inflow to Government-Only funds. From a bigger-picture vantage point, an overall moderation in market supply of short paper in recent months has kept short-end rates relatively steady; see last week’s edition for pertinent color on this topic.
Heavy T-Bill issuance will remain a theme; UST issuance overall is now net positive supply in that more is being issued than what the Fed is buying in its programs, and so this scenario could prove a small challenge. However, with short UST rates at rock-bottom levels, and the Fed likely on hold for a long period, rates may trade in a sideways to slightly lower pattern. Net T-bill issuance has been lower since mid-summer and even negative in recent weeks, and Treasury has announced plans to shift issuance out the curve, but a new fiscal relief package could complicate/alter this forecast. Even with a new relief package and related borrowing, these supply/demand and Treasury issuance dynamics should keep short rates in check on the upside.
Week-on-week, medium and longer-term Advance rates “bull flattened” by 3 to 10 bps in progressive fashion from 2 to 10-year. Rates 3-year and shorter generally remain pinned in a narrow range, and so again it was the portion of the curve thereafter that led the moves. Please refer to the previous section for further color on the market trend.
Rates still trade at historically low levels across the yield curve, and the curve is priced for the Fed to be on hold for several years. If suitable or sensible from an ALM perspective, it may be worthwhile to consider extending liabilities and locking in term rates. If not in need of funding now but anticipating future needs, a Forward Start Advance can be an appropriate solution, especially given the still relatively flat yield curve. Please call the Member Services Desk to discuss rate levels and potential ideas.
On the UST supply front, this week is barren in term space. Corporate issuance should add yet again to its historic record annual pace albeit notably slower as the holidays approach. Attention will remain on the prospect of further relief legislation and certainly also on COVID-19 developments.
The Symmetrical Prepayment Advance Feature
With rates at or near multi-year lows, it is a compelling juncture to use the SPA feature on term advances. This feature allows member to capture, at prepayment, changes in the Fair Value of the advance which are favorable to the member. Contact us to discuss.

(iv) With respect to each Supporting Letter of Credit, Borrower acknowledges that Agent may, at any time (including in the event Agent or any Tranche A Revolving Lender shall be required to make any payment on or pursuant to any Additional L/C Obligations supported by such Supporting Letter of Credit), whether or not a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, at its option and subject only to the limitations set forth in the applicable Supporting Letter of Credit, make any drawing on amounts available under such Supporting Letter of Credit and apply such amounts to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 1.3(c) and/or, at the election of Agent, directly to the corresponding Additional L/C Obligations relating thereto."

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add onion, and Anaheim and bell peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.

Bake until the casserole is bubbling, 40 to 45 minutes.
Remove the foil and cook for additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and starting to brown.

Donald Trump Accused Democrats of Encouraging Asylum Seekers to "Break Into" US
Type: Conspiracy TheoriesOct 24 2018 Severity: Targeted: Democratic PartyAbout: Immigration
Donald Trump blamed Democrats for the influx of asylum seekers heading towards our southern border with Mexico and went so far as to accuse them of "openly encouraging" them to "break into our country." There is simply no truth to Donald's accusation, but that hasn't kept him from repeating it numerous times now.
Quote | He made the same false accusation only a day earlier.
“As we speak, the Democrat Party is openly encouraging caravan after caravan of illegal aliens to violate our laws and to break into our country.”
Targeted by Trump

I have always wondered why this plant was called Moses in A Cradle until I found this growing in the roots of my Banyan Tree this morning. The flowers do look like a cradle, I am not so sure about Moses or why he is involved. This is also called Boat Lily, which makes a bit more sense. Yet another common name is Oyster Plant, Hmmm, maybe it looks like a purple oyster? Then there is the botanical name dilemma, I learned this as Rhoeo, now they seem to have decided it is a Transcandentia. Whatever. Plant taxonomy is not my forte.
The state of Florida lists this as a Category II Invasive. Which sounds scary, but if you do some research it seems this plant has the potential to do damage in certain environments but it hasn’t quite done it yet. The environment this flourishes in is a Tropical Hammock. I live on top of a gigantic Sand Dune, so I think I am safe from the Oyster Plant. As I am somewhat overrun with some invasive plants (the evil Brazilian Pepper and Mother in Law’s Tongues) I am leery of this one, but I think I will just keep an eye on it.
