Prime Rib with Garlic Butter
Our family made this prime rib roast last year for Christmas and it was SOOOO DELICIOUS! If you're still looking for the perfect holiday meal to fill your family this season, take a peek at this!!
Servings: 7-9
1 cup butter, softened
7 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon pepper
5-7 pounds boneless ribeye roast, trimmed
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups beef stock
Mashed potatoes, to serve
Green beans, to serve
1. Preheat oven to 500°F/260°C.
2. Mix together the butter, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper in a bowl until evenly combined.
3. Rub the herb butter all over the rib roast, then place on a roasting tray with a rack.
4. Bake for 5 minutes per pound of meat — so a 5-pound roast would bake for 25 minutes and a 7-pound roast would bake for 35 minutes.
5. Turn off the heat and let the rib roast sit in the oven for 2 hours, making sure you do not open the oven door or else the residual heat will escape.
6. Once the 2 hours are up, remove the roast from the pan and pour the pan drippings into a saucepan over medium heat.
7. Add the flour, whisking until there are no lumps, then add the beef stock, stirring and bringing the sauce to a boil.
8. Remove from heat and strain the sauce into a gravy dish.
9. Carve the prime rib into ¾-inch slices, then serve with the mashed potatoes, green beans, and sauce!
10. Enjoy!

Can you please explain the use of lithium carbonate in your product, in humans this is a medication we monitor closely for toxicity reason.
Dear Angela,
The homeopathic remedy Lithium carbonate is not the drug Lithium. It is added because in homeopathic form it is used for chronic rheumatism. The remedies in the Vetionx homeopathics were chosen based upon their ability to modify the symptoms and stimulate internal modifications that lead to healing. Having it in homeopathic form makes it safer than most prescription drugs that need to be under the supervision of a doctor. Though homeopathy isn't used as much in the United States, over half of veterinarians in Europe use homeopathy alongside conventional therapy. It can offer some help in cases where more options are needed. For more information about the individual ingredients and the history of homeopathy, the website www.nationalcenterforhomeopathy.org is a great educational tool.
The product is registered with the FDA and meets the United States Pharmacopeia standards. For a better understanding of this you may go to www.usp.org/audiences/consumers/
Because homeopathy is patient specific one must match the symptoms of the patient to the remedy. The remedies selected in our product address the more common symptoms. Because these are OTC ingredients and not prescription items there is no requirement for years of drug trials. That explains why most prescription drugs are much more costly than OTC products that are formulated based upon common knowledge garnered over the past two hundred years. We use this information to select the ingredients and rely on our customer feedback to let us know if we are doing a good job and meeting their needs. The IONX products have helped many pets reduce their symptoms without causing toxicity to their bodies.
Best regards,
Dr. Char

Welcome Today Show Viewers
Welcome to any Today Show Viewers that are visiting after the interview on this morning's show.
If this is your first time to enternetusers.net then let me give you a quick tour of the place. Grab a coffee and make yourself comfortable while I show you around.
Firstly, enternetusers is a blog that is devoted to helping bloggers earn an income from blogging - here's a couple of links to give you a little information about me and about this blog.
If you're new to blogging you might find this 'what is a blog? post and this one on how bloggers are making money from blogging.
I've also recently put together a page with my top 20 posts from the past year.
I'm actually writing this post before the interview so when I get back to the laptop later this morning I'll update this page with any links that I mentioned in the interview and answer any questions that anyone might have. Feel free to leave a comment or question in the comments section below.
update: Well I'm home again after my first TV appearance - it was fun although a little strange sitting alone in a TV studio talking via sattelite to some unseen person - knowing millions were potentially watching/listening in.
Actually that sounds a lot like blogging - sitting along in front of a computer - writing to some unseen group of people…..
The interview itself was pretty short (about 5 minutes I'd guess). I'm not sure if there is any way to get it up online for overseas readers - but I'll see what I can do - perhaps some more technically savy reader has the ability to convert it into a web friendly format. update - apparently there is video of the interview on the today show site if you're willing to download Microsoft Media Player 10.
In terms of the links - Tracy mentioned the Bruce Willis blog (it hasn't been updated for quite some time) and Barbara Streisand blog. I think that's the all that was mentioned in terms of celebrity blogs.

Blogging for Dollars Experiment Pays Off
Warning: Heart Warming Story Ahead
I was just contacted via IM with a blogger (I'll call him 'Geoff' - not his real name) who owns and blogs at a reasonably popular and established blog (not an A-lister but he runs a nice blog that gets about 3000 visitors per day).
Geoff told me that about two months ago that he'd started to experiment with putting a few income streams on his blog. He did it after seeing something that I'd written here. He said:
'I did it with the hope of paying for my hosting costs and perhaps even buying myself an Apple ibook to blog on'.
Geoff started out experimenting with Adsense and Amazon and then on seeing some of my success with eMiniMalls added those in the past few weeks.
Around 9 weeks after starting his 'experiment' Geoff tells me that he's just reached the $150 per day mark. His hosting costs for the year are covered and today he placed an order for a powerbook instead of an ibook.
He said:
'I can not believe that I am on track for earning over $50,000 in the next year for writing on a topic that I would happily write about for free! Why didn't anyone ever tell me that I could make money from blogging?? :-) '
He went on to say:
'I'm SOOO happy Darren! But I can't help but think of the opportunity that I missed over the last 2 years of blogging, imagine if I'd put the ads on earlier!!!'
It makes me wonder just how many 'Geoffs' there are out there. People who already have built blogs and sites that could quite easily have income streams added to them but who have just never considered it. While I know many bloggers choose not to do the ad thing and that many blogs don't have the earning potential of Geoff's (he's luckily in a good niche - one that he's keen for me not to mention for fear of copycats) there must be many others in a similar boat.

On the Today Show…. Tomorrow
Aussie readers out there that get up early in the morning might like to turn on their televisions to channel 9 at around 6.45am tomorrow where they might just see a familiar (and bleary eyed) face being interviewed on the Today show about blogging.
Lucky I didn't get the 6am spot!

PubSub Blog Category Lists
PubSub is starting to categorize bloggers into PubSub Lists. So far they only have four categories - Law, Fashion, PR and Librarians.
What lists would you like to see added? Feel free to add your suggestions in comments below - but perhaps more productive is to let them know - they're looking for editors so put your hand up and get involved if your list isn't there yet.
I'd like to see an Entrepreneurial/enternetusers type list - just wish I had a bit more time to edit it.

Adsense of Tomorrow
Peter Forret dreams of a day when Adsense will roll out into all forms of media including:
- Adsense for newspapers
- Adsense for magazines
- Adsense for books
- Adsense for TV
- Adsense for radio
- Adsense for Wifi
- Adsense for cinema
- Adsense for movies
- Adsense for video-on-demand
- Adsense for ticketing
- Adsense for billboards
- Adsense for phone/GSM
- Adsense for fax
- Adsense for road traffic
- Adsense for sport
While perhaps some of these are a little far fetched (what about Adsense for Milk Cartons?) it is an interesting concept to think about where Adsense could roll out advertisements for what must be an incredibly large inventory of advertisers.

Chitika add channels to eMiniMalls
I just logged into my Chitika eMiniMalls reports and found that they've finally gone live with their channels feature. They've also added some new columns to the stats that they report including CTR (click through rate) and Avg CPC (cost per click).
The CPC is a stat that Adsense have never given (it can be worked out by an easy calculation) but which will be handy. I suspect that their reporting will continue to improve over the coming weeks and months (ie they will probably get more dynamic over time and add more ability to check certain periods of time etc) - but so far so good! Channels is a massive step forward.
When you log into you stats you can view your channels all at once by clicking the date - or by channel by using the drop down menu.
If you haven't already added the channel code to your Chitika codes it might be a good time - this way you'll be able to work out what positions, design and keywords are working best.
To implement the channel code insert this mini bit of code into your ad unit
ch_sid = 'xxxx';
How do you use channels effectively?
The way I use them is to make every different ad unit on my blogs have a separate channel. ie the ad unit in my side bar has a challel code called 'enternetusers Side Menu' - the ad unit on my individual posts pages has one called 'enternetusers Indiv Above Comments' the one on my digicam site's menu is called 'DPB side menu' etc.
This will enable me to track which ad on which blog performs best in terms of click value and CTR which in turn will teach me about what is the best position, design and keywords to target.
So now go experiment - and tell us all what you find!
update: It seems as though they've also added some new affiliate banner sizes to the 10 that were released last week. There are now 16 options including some larger banner and skyscraper options.

Making Titles Live Links
One of the first tips I was given when i started to blog that I've not talked about for a while here is to consider making the titles of your posts live links (permalinks).
These days most blogging software does this automatically for you - however today as I've surfed around the web I've seen quite a few blogs that do not do it. Instead they link to the individual pages on their blog with the word 'permalink'.
I hope they'll forgive me but let me give you a couple of examples on two of my favorite blogs - A View from Home and Micro Persuasion. You'll see in both instances that if you put your cursor over their post titles that they are not live links and that they have the 'permalink' link to their individual pages.
Of course some bloggers are more traditional in their approach and like this approach (and I think there can be some valid reasons for doing so) - however in my experience - making the title of your post a live link can have some significant benefits.
The greatest of these benefits is that it helps with Search Engine Optimization.
Search Engines rank sites on many factors - but one of these is that the words used in links linking to a page carry a lot of weight in how that page is ranked for those terms. It is not just how other external sites link to you either - it is the way in which your site is interlinked that counts also.
Take for example Steve's post 'Go Behind the Scenes at Rocketboom'. If he'd made the titles on his front page, category pages, date archive pages and even his individual pages live links he would probably rank higher in Google in a few times for the term 'Rocketboom' than he will by just linking to those pages with the word 'permalink'.
You'll see that I've used this system here at enternetusers - everywhere there is a title it's a live link.

Topix Starts Crawling Blogs
Topix.net has started crawling blogs. They announced yesterday on their Weblog that they've added 15,000 blogs to be crawled. This is significant news on two fronts.
Firstly it is yet another way to get your blog exposure. Similarly to being indexed by Google News if you can get into the index at Topix.net you should get yourself some extra hits as it's a pretty popular tool.
Secondly this will be useful for bloggers looking for sources of content. Topix offer RSS feeds for any keyword that you add to it so that if any newspaper that it follows has an article with the keyword you get it in your feed. Now it'll automatically present you with results for blogs and papers. Very handy.
update - funnily enough this very post has been on the front page of Topix for the last 20 minutes or so and has been getting me quite a bit of traffic - illustrating the point I made.

enternetusers formally joins b5media
Just a quick announcement that I'm sure will not shock anyone.
As of today enternetusers.net has formally joined the b5media.com network of blogs (which I am a part owner of).
This will mean little in practical terms to this blog except that there will be (and have already been) some minor tweaks to the page in terms of design and advertising. In many regards this just formalizes what has already been as I've been linking to the rest of the network from my sidebar for a couple of weeks now.
enternetusers will continue to provide the same content that it's always provided, it will continue to be authored by me, it's hosting will remain the same and it's design will not change too much (although I've been thinking about a redesign for the new year).
The other owners of b5media brought their personal blogs into the network a couple of days ago - but I was a bit behind with getting things organized.
And we just found out about work boot for men. When your phone rings or you receive an email or receive a text message then you get paid. Could it be that my groom�s fantasies might actually be wilder than the site of me perfectly coiffed, bustled, and veiled?

Every business needs traffic.
Traffic is the life blood of any business.
One of the biggest problems faced today by anyone who buys solo ads is the fact that there is always an actor who can fake YOU into believing that the traffic you just bought is or was human traffic. The temptation to purchase cheap human traffic is very great. Especially if the traffic you want to purchase is unknown to you, traffic that looks so good, to be true.
Question: What is bad traffic?
This is the answer: Traffic classified that you do not want to be a part of the transactional state of. Appealing solo blasts by actors who do so on your behalf.
This traffic can demoralize your efforts and sales thought processes.
Traffic that is so bad that it the cause of you to constantly question why sometimes your traffic is very good from an actor and at other times, very bad. Now, this very good traffic is opt-in traffic, later only you discover that the email addresses are not real. An actor has gotten the best of you and there is nothing that you can do. You can cry about it. But listen, how did this all began.
Here is the premise.
You spot an unusual advertisement. Nothing wrong with that. As a matter of fact, you may have placed advertisements yourself. Trouble is, as honest as you are; the business cycles in your favor every now and again. You honestly secure a real prospect, complete with email address and interaction, all signs that give you hope and accomplishment. This is normal for any businesses man or woman.
So, you spotted this advertisement.
What strikes you as something different makes you think, that's not such a bad advertisement.
Now some people who are more experienced in this area of marketing would say, "It's not such a bad offer". Maybe I can save money if I give this or that a try. There is nothing in this world wrong with giving a new business a try on a smaller venue.
Back in the old days, we would always contact a business prospect via US mail. Reaching out, in the end ment, a face to face meeting. A lunch or dinner meeting to discuss if both parties can reach a deal and late hammer out a contract or verbal understanding. What is interesting here is that, both parties know, understand and want to help each other grow in the years to come if possible. As a matter of understanding, maybe a 90 day or a six month agreement worked in both parties favor. This is how business was conducted years and years ago.
Not so, today. You get burned and often times, there is nothing you can do.
That's how it really goes.
Please, don't' think that social media will help you if things go wrong. Other folks reading your woes will gladly acknowledge that, it was your own fault and that what happen to you would never happen to them. These are the other people reading, watching and sad fully laughing at the broken down consumer who has been taken to the cleaners.
And the funny thing is that most social media sites are never going to throw that bad actor out and there is most likely, nothing that you can do to hurt or mime the actor. Sure you can call the bad actor out, but over time and very quickly- cause social media never saves anything.
Here is a quick test, go back one year and try to find dirt on a person slash bad actor slask dispute. Sorry, pal- not going to happen. As a matter of fact, you can even ask people about their experiences a year ago, or the stories that they have heard and all you will find is a big zero. The bad actor is still there, in the dark corner waiting for the next tiny fly to fall into their trap.
The truth is, that life goes on and you have just lost two hundred dollars.
There is nothing that paypal can do for you. There is nothing that even your own credit card processor can do for you. It's a tough nickel to swallow. Life continues on, unless. Yes, there is hope and truth. But the problem is not entirely unsolved. As a matter of fact, the best thing that you can do is sing out loud what happen to you, posting your experience online on a property that belongs to you. Sing out loud that problem, what hurts the most and how you can ask for help and or assistance in what others would do. You write, just as I am doing so right now.
Tell other people what happen and what you can do. Well, here is the deal. There are some very hard working people out there and they are over looked because their prices are just out of this world. But instead of using them, there are advertisements out there that are just too good to be true. Instead of walking away, we try them and we rate them, and in the end, we walk away with zero.
There are some expensive ways to determine if the traffic source you are using is a fake or not. But what you do not understand is, paying monthly $30 a month using tools that protect you is similar to fake traffic. You can spend all the money you want on these cheap, no good service, but in the end- you are a the perfect storm. Most folks who spend that kind of money are willing to gamble, week after week on traffic sources, exerting their tool on the source only discovering after exhausting a fortune on buying and experimenting with traffic, that they have lost a lot of money with nothing to show for it.
They say, there is a lot to say about free organic traffic. But like everyone else, I have problems with stuff that is SEO free. The biggest problem is, the traffic never shows up for one reason or another and or the traffic that does so up, is not enough to sustain. When you cannot sustain the immediate, which means it could take years to build a list.
When traffic visits your website, a property you own. They or the people who click your links leave a foot print. You can find out what they click by looking inside at your cpanel.
You can also purchase inexpensive tools for less than say, twenty dollars that can pretty-fi your links and provide the counter mechanism, you desperately need. Now at this time, I am by no means going to mention or suggest a specific toy you can purchase, that will help you in this area.
But just understand you can look at your cpanel logs and see the traffic.
About two years, ago I had an encounter. I found a cheap advertising source on a very well-known website called something with the letter F. My purchase went well on my side, I just put in the digits and the provider or agent just provided what they say they would do.
The traffic was sent to a link I had designated. I did several low tech things to prepare for this solo advertisement. I created a quick squeeze page. The squeeze page was my free offer. I was promised over 5k clicks. What I liked more about the advertisement was the fact that, if I was not satisfied I could get my money back.
Now, being the business person that I am today, I do not want my money back. What I want from any business is what we agreed would happen. I wanted leads. That's all that I wanted and that's all that my link was entitled to do.
The event took three days to complete and on day one, I thought my traffic was pretty interesting, I could see the clicks and I could see how the clicks were building. During a solo, what happens is. The business list owner, takes your information, formulates an email message with the objective of sending traffic to their own link. The link is programmed to convert to the buyer's link. The seller's link supposed to count the number of times that someone on their lists clicks that link, that way- they have a recorded way to know exactly how many people clicked their link.
Now hopefully, you understand that the buyer has their infrastructure in place for counting and attracting people. For the buyer, they have their own link programmed to count the incoming clicks. In the end, the objective is for the buyer to get opt-in or sales. Now, I want to talk a little bit about sales. The likely hood of that happening is rare. It happens, but again it is rare.
Now, here is the rub. What I have explained here in all business fairness is who things supposed to work. But there is always an actor asking themselves, how can I make more money? How can I screw over the other person without their knowledge?
A while back, when I was researching this issue, I ran across some software. The purpose of the software was to fake generate traffic. The software clearly was nothing that I was interested in, but what I did was- to keep the idea under my hat. When I started buying solo traffic, without spending a dime on these expensive monthly monitoring and collusion software, it occurred to me there is this big giant world where you now have to learn how to buy solo ads and determine if you are being ripped off.
Upon further investigating this traffic generation software, I also understood that the software was made to make it appear as if the click via a proxy ip address was coming for a tier three country. But the most exciting part about all of this was, that I knew that my cpanel could tell me, if I read the information correctly where clicks were coming from.
And from that knowledge, I discovered that this actor whom I had just purchased traffic from "F" was running a traffic generator program. My cpanel told me that the traffic was coming from one basic ip address with each and every other slow click coming from an address in the same range. For the non-geeks, that ment the traffic was actually from a bank of less than five computers.
With each machine clicking my link. Gosh, there are so many ways this can be done its totally stupid.
Gosh, when I discovered what was going on, I then decided to quickly change my squeeze page from a opt-in to a YES or NO response. I did this because, I had learned from one of the big guru's out there, this is the easiest low cost, low down method of determining if the traffic is human after all.
Turns out I was correct. The traffic was zombie traffic. The seller was using a traffic program to send pre programmed clicks.
Now, before you accuse anyone of crap like this. You must document and demonstrate your evidence. I even when so far as to notify the support platform about what I had discovered and I received no response what so ever.
Do you have kids? If so, have you ever seen kids of opposite families fight or duke it out over what appears to you or I something petty. Rather than intervene, we sit back and let the kids hammer out their differences. That' is exactly what the "F" did.
Before the final hour, I contacted the seller and told them what I had found. I made it very clear, I did not want my money back. I sent them my report and demonstrated what supposed to happen and all I got back was, I will give you your money back. Again, I did not want my money back but I was forced to take my money back and in taking my money back, I was unable to post a bad remark, in the form of the performance of their service. They had a 4.5 approval rating and that is because the people who buy the traffic, did not fully understand what was happening to them. This practice continues today.
It's called fraud and there is nothing you can do to shut these $5 mini fake traffic, solo blast generators where they rake in clearing thousands of dollars weekly from innocent people who just want honest clicks.
Well, there you have it.
PayPal, one of the biggest processors is taking a stance on bad actors. They are slowing closing accounts for no reason, other than the fact that bad actors are not responding to bad or financial issues as they relate to customer service. PayPal will no longer be that judge between the actor who sells crap and the buyer who should have known better. From this vantage, who's in the wrong here? The actor or PayPal. Well, all we know is- PayPal is changing the rules, terminating agreements and disrupting business functions for the bad guy and that's a good thing.
If you ever experienced any bad actors out there, put your grievance on file.
Leave your comment for the next guy to see. Some people love social media, the problem is if you business is on this weak foundation where the rules change over night, your business will crumble or your free leads can dry up fast or the harvesting software you use could stop working.

The plight of Mr. Mole
2 comments:
Marin is watching the video... "again, again!" (She'll be two this Saturday.)ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh! We had a neighbor find a young-ish mole last Saturday and we were able to find a mole hole to let him/her dig back into. Yesterday I was having a rough day and pulled out some all-purpose Mommmy/nerd knowledge on how Moles have toxic saliva and they can paralyze but not kill earth worms to store for eating later. My boys were very impressed. Nothing like toxic saliva to break up an argument over a deck of cards :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, I do so appreciate it! I usually respond to questions in the comments section, so check back if there is something you wanted me to respond to!

I draw the line right here
Fundamentals do not work when the public is deceived by the media. Charts can reveal the truth.
Tuesday, April 8, 2014
The "Blue Band of Interest" was initiated on my charts back on February 20. This range has held many assaults.
My target posted March 18 was a bit wide, but notice the top and bottom of the target did result in turning points. The market was in the beginning of a correction which lead to my confusion, but if you look at April 4 the significance of my wide range becomes apparent.
Currently I am still Bullish as long as the Blue Band continues to lend support, with an expectation of 1923 - 1933.

One of the most prolific and controversial figures in German film history, Rainer Werner Fassbinder had a unique ability to portray German society with painful honesty, often polarizing the nation. Fassbinder's legacy included revolutionary work in theater as well as the 44 films he directed before his untimely death at age 37 in 1982. This new documentary skillfully blends this body of work with the director's personal life to illuminate an obsessive artist driven to create at all costs. Never-before-seen archival material, as well as rare interviews with friends and colleagues including Irm Hermann, Margit Carstensen, Harry Baer, Hanna Schygulla and Volker Schlöndorff, provide fresh insight into the New German Cinema's enfant terrible. In German with English subtitles.
Director Christian Braad Thomsen's documentary about his longtime friend Rainer Werner Fassbinder paints a remarkably intimate portrait of the prolific German director. Through new interviews, scenes from his films and rare footage (including shots of him being booed at his first festival screening, struggling to direct a traffic sequence in "Berlin Alexanderplatz" and reflecting on his work just hours before his untimely death in 1982), Fassbinder emerges as philosopher, circus ringmaster and one of the most powerful creative voices of post-WWII Germany. In German with English subtitles.
Back from the war and greeted with chilling contempt by his mother, Hans Epp (Hans Hirschmuller) continues his streak of disappointing his bourgeois family by becoming a fruit peddler. This lowly profession depresses Hans, driving him to drinking, drugs and casual abuse of his wife (Irm Herrmann), but it's nothing in comparison with the despair he feels when his business actually begins to flourish and he's suddenly the pride and joy of his relatives. A merciless and formally virtuoso drama from Rainer Werner Fassbinder, shot with perfection by cinematographer Dietrich Lohmann and named one of the director's top films by critic Roger Ebert. In German with English subtitles.

This should get you better at long and short range shots under pressure. And it's really fun.
You get enough people at one side of the court at the point that you want to start at (ex. free throw or 3 point), then the first person in the line shoots. When he has shot from the shooting point he can now shoot from anywhere. As soon as he has shot the second person shoots and tries to get it in before him. If he does then the first person is out. If the first person gets it in first he passes the ball to the next player, and then the next player does the same trying to get the person before him out. This happens until there is 2 people left.
This bit is the finalz. There is a lot of ways to play the finals:
1. First to score ___ shots from the point.
You both shoot at the same time and try to get it in from the point. after you have shot once you can shoot from anyware. Once you have scored once you go back to the point and keep on doing that. It is the first to get to the set amount of numbers.
2. You do the same as you did before the finals but without passing the ball. Just stay with the same ball and try to get him out.
3. You set the amount of numbers to score and a scoring point for each one. (This is the same as number 1 exept you have diferent scoring areas)
4. This is the same as number 2 exept you set 2 scoring areas.
E-mail me if you have any questions about this drill.

A Surrey-based organization has planned a first ever "Walk For Drugs and Gangs Free Surrey" this spring.
The community event, set to go from Surrey City Hall to Holland Park on the morning of Saturday, May 18, is organized by Progressive Intercultural Community Services Society, or PICS.
The objective of the walk "is to create awareness about the rise of gang violence and drug abuse in Surrey and the importance of providing programs, services and support systems to tackle this problem," Dorothy Poudel, PICS' fund developer and communication officer, says in a release.
"The Walk For Drugs and Gangs Free Surrey is an excellent opportunity to bring together families, educators, and community partners," Poudel stated. "As part of the agenda for this year's walk, we are focusing on highlighting the stories of the individuals and families affected by drug and gang violence. Information about programs and services will be displayed in the Holland Park."
The walk will start at 9 a.m. and continue until noon. For free, participants are encouraged to register on a page at eventbrite.ca.
Local MLAs, MPs, city councillors, RCMP and community leaders are invited to attend, Poudel noted.
The mission of Newton-based PICS is "to promote harmony and inter-cultural understanding for the purpose of building an inclusive and mutually respectful society."

Microcurrent is known to be the most effective non-surgical method to take years off the face. It is a low level of electricity that mirrors the body's own natural electrical currents, triggering chemical reactions at a cellular level to enhance the production of natural collagen and elastin, providing circulatory benefits and reshaping the muscles of the face. The result of micro-current treatments are immediate firming, smoothing, and re-hydration of the skin while the fine lines and wrinkles are reduced. Microcurrent lifts, sculpts, and tightens skin. Also, it provides immediate results and has no downtime.
Microcurrent techniques have been proven successful in treating a variety of medical conditions including Bell's Palsy. Bell's Palsy is facial paralysis and usually effects one side of the face only. The cause is unknown, but inflammation of one of the facial nerves results in muscle paralysis to one side of the face. This usually recovers over a period of months, but on occasion can be permanent.
But first, we need to understand what causes our facial skin to wrinkle and sag. As we age, our muscles become accustomed to certain expressions and tend to get stuck in these positions. A great example of this is the furrow between the eyebrows that many people get. At the same time, other muscles in our face are hardly ever used, and they begin to atrophy, which leads to sagging. An example of this can often be seen around our jaw lines, chins and necks, where we tend to develop sagging or loss of definition as we get older. As years pass, our skin cells become less active, which leads to a breakdown of collagen and elastin. By the age of 45, the upper cheek muscles may elongate by as much as half an inch, dragging the skin over the cheeks downward to form plump little pouches at the corners of the mouth. The muscles under the chin become loose and the jaw line loses its firm contour.
There are 32 different muscles of the face that are manipulated during the microcurrent facial treatment. The treatment lifts, smooths, tightens and tones. Probes are used to physically move the muscle into the desired position to perform muscles lengthening or shortening. Microcurrent treatment allows the muscles the necessary energy to keep their tension in this new contour.
To conclude, microcurrent is a therapeutic treatment that delivers safe, painless, low-level electrical impulses to strategic locations under the skin in order to firm and tone the facial muscles on both an immediate and long-term basis.

Customer Reviews
I was skeptic all about this device, but for 15 bucks (or whatever it was) I thought, what the hell. But I saw results immediately after using and I've only used it twice. My eyelids appear lifted and crows feet and fine lines under eyes are markedly reduced. It's amazing. I'm shook!

"Never Had a Dream Come True" is a 1969 song written by Stevie Wonder and Motown staff songwriters Henry Cosby and Sylvia Moy and released as a single on the Tamla subsidiary by Wonder in February 1970. Featured on his twelfth studio release, Signed, Sealed & Delivered, the song was a modest hit in the US upon its release reaching number twenty-six on the Billboard Hot 100 and number-eleven on the R&B chart. The song received a boost in the UK, where it eventually broke into the top ten and peaked at number-six. That same year, The Jackson 5 (with Michael Jackson on lead vocals) recorded a cover version of the song featured on their acclaimed ABC album.

Can't eat white rice on this diet and the South Beach Diet Shepherd's Pie was just daring to be spiced up. We can't have it all but… maybe we can! I fused together two recipes to come up with this dish. Truly, very aroy!
4 cups (1 head) cauliflower
4 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons 0% Greek style plain yogurt
1 large egg yolk
salt and pepper
1/2 cup part skim mozzarella cheese, grated
Preheat oven 350˚F.
Make Topping. In a large saucepan, boil cauliflower and garlic cloves 8-10 minutes. Drain. In a food processor, purée cauliflower and garlic. You may need to do this in batches. In a large bowl, whip puréed cauliflower with yogurt and egg yolk. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Since the filling has to be stronger tasting than usual because it will not be served on a bed of rice, I have increased the amounts of ingredients.
2 1/2 cups fresh basil leaves, tightly packed
3 large garlic cloves, peeled
6 green or red Thai chilies, stemmed and roughly chopped, plus extra for serving
2 tablespoons fish sauce, plus extra for serving
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon white vinegar, plus extra for serving
1 tablespoon sugar, plus extra for serving (I used a sugar substitute)
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast , cut into 2-inch pieces
4 medium shallots, peeled and thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil
red pepper flakes, for serving
cilantro and scallion, chopped, for serving
Make Seasoning. In the work bowl of a food processor, put 1 cup basil, garlic, and chilies. Pulse in one-second bursts 6 times. Put a tablespoon of the basil mixture in a small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon fish sauce, oyster sauce, vinegar, and sugar or sugar substitute. Mix together and set aside. Put the remaining seasoning in a large skillet and set that aside. Don't wash out the work bowl.
Grind the Chicken. In the unwashed work bowl, add the chicken chunks and pulse in one-second bursts 6 times or until the chicken is in 1/4 inch pieces. Blend in remaining tablespoon fish sauce. Put the ground chicken in a medium bowl and refrigerate.
Make the Sauce. To the seasoning in the large skillet, add the shallots and the oil. Cook over medium-low heat until the garlic and shallots turn golden brown, about 5-8 minutes. You may need to open a window! Frying chilies can make your eyes sting. Add the ground chicken and cut up the meat as it cooks with a silicone spatula or a potato masher. When the meat is a light pink, add the reserved seasoning and the remaining 1 1/2 cups of basil. Stir-fry until the basil is wilted.
Assemble and Bake. Scrape the filling into a 9-inch square baking dish. Spread it into the corners. Scrape the mashed cauliflower on top and smooth. Sprinkle with fet mot–-fresh mozzarella cheese in Thai—and fresh ground black pepper. Bake 20-25 minutes or until the edges are brown. Remove from the oven and let the pie rest 10 minutes before serving.
Serve. Traditionally, krapow gai or Thai-Style Chicken with Basil is served with a fried "egg hat." Contrary to myth, eggs aren't bad for you, and you can reduce the calorie load by frying it in cooking spray. Have a look at these nutrition myths if you don't believe me! If you wish to spice it up further at table, provide small bowls of fish sauce, vinegar with chopped chilies, sugar, red pepper flakes, and chopped fresh scallion and cilantro for sprinkling.

Manchester - Brazil forward Gabriel Jesus has signed a new deal with Manchester City that ties him to the Premier League champions until 2023.
The 21-year-old, who was part of the Brazil squad that reached the Soccer World Cup quarter-finals in Russia, joined City in January 2017 and has scored 24 goals in 53 matches.
"I would like to thank the fans for the welcome and for how well they have treated me," he told the club's official website on Friday after signing the two-year contract extension.
"I can say that it was the best decision I've made in my life to come to Manchester City because while I'm here I'm improving as a professional and as a person."
"(Manager) Pep (Guardiola) had an important role in my signing, but also the club. City is a huge club and it is getting bigger and bigger so I just want to say thanks for everything. I hope that I can keep making the fans happy."
Director of football Txiki Begiristain said: "Gabriel is undoubtedly one of the best young forwards in world football, so to have him commit his future to us is a huge boost."

How To Cook Shrimp
When you want to cook shrimp but have never done it before you will need to know how to cook shrimp. There are many ways that you can use when cooking shrimp. The way that you choose will depend on the way that you like to do it. You can find out very easily how to cook shrimp when you look on the internet or buy a cookbook about shrimp. However, here is how to cook shrimp to help you get started.
One thing before you learn how to cook shrimp is that you want to buy shrimp that is frozen with their shells still on if you can. You don't have to but the shells will help to protect the meat of the shrimp and add more flavor to it. You can either cook the shrimp with their shells off or leave the shells on and then remove them after you have cooked them.
I am going to tell you how to cook a pound of shrimp so if you want to cook less or more than a pound you will have to find out how. It will be pretty much the same for all batches of shrimp, you will just have to use more or less of everything to cook it.
For a pound of shrimp you will want to bring two quarts of water to a boil. You will then want to salt the water lightly. If you prefer you can add lemon juice to the water, this is optional though so do it however you prefer.
Once the water is at a boil you will want to shut off the heat that is under the water. You then add the shrimp to the water all at once. Once in the water you want to let them steep for about 3 to 5 minutes. Shrimp are better when you cook them gently.

In the interests of getting some long neglected projects done, I will no longer be accepting review requests for books. I hope to review my remaining contracted books by the end of March.
What does this mean for the blog? Trust me, I'll still be reading. I have a stack of books I own that I haven't had time to read due to other reading commitments. Here's a small sampling:
Dark Haven - Gail Martin
Name of the Wind - Patrick Rothfuss
Time Traveler's Never Die - Jack McDevitt
Sasha - Joel Shepherd
Last Watch - Sergei Lukyanenko
Luck in the Shadows - Lynn Flewelling
Lament - Maggie Stiefvater
Plague War - Jeff Carlson
Then there are a few books coming out in April that I want to read immediately:
Element Zero - James Knapp
Eona - Alison Goodman
The Unremembered - Peter Orullian
There are the sequels to books I've enjoyed and haven't been able to pick up:
King of Crags - Stephen Deas
Fearscape - Simon Holt
Behemoth - Scott Westerfeld
Broken Kingdoms - N.K. Jemisin
And of course books that have intrigued me:
The Last Stormlord - Glenda Larke
The Cardinal's Blade - Pierre Pevel
The Drowning City - Amanda Downum
Geist - Philippa Ballantine
Crossfire - Miyuki Miyabe
Incarceron - Catherine Fisher
Then there are the books I want to reread. I used to reread books a lot and had to stop once I started reviewing. I didn't have time to spare reading books I'd read (and probably reviewed) before. But I miss the practice, miss flipping through stories I know I love. Like:
Transformation - Carol Berg
Son of Avonar - Carol Berg (if you haven't read her, I can't recommend her enough)
Paladin of Souls - Lois McMaster Bujold
Resenting the Hero - Moira Moore
Mirror Prince - Violette Malan
Homeland - R. A. Salvatore
Elantris - Brandon Sanderson
There are more, of course, but thinking about them makes me want to pick them up right now and I still have other books to read first.
Needless to say, there will be reviews coming. They may not be the newest books anymore, but I'm also hoping to vary my reading more again (get in some classics, more SF, a few urban fantasies) despite the high concentration of fantasy on this page. I also suspect I'll be catching up on teen fiction, both because it's quick to read and because I like dystopian fiction (which seems to be a hot subgenre for them now).
It's also become apparent to me that I need a break from reviewing. I couldn't read the last 2 books I picked up, despite their being interesting (one of them was The Windup Girl, which I've been looking forward to reading for months). I'm simply burnt out at the moment and need some time to relax and read for fun before I can go back to the 'job'. And no one wants a negative review simply because the reviewer is tired and cranky.
Any books I've agreed to review will still be reviewed and in a more timely manner. If you send me a book I haven't requested or agreed to read, I'll put it under consideration but won't consider myself contracted to read it.
If you have a book coming that you want me to look at, you can still email me about it. I'm going to take things at a slower pace but if your project interests me, I may pick it up on my own. :)
And when I start accepting reviews again (the summer? the fall?) I want to get back to my 2 weeks to review mode, rather than the month or two it's been the past few months due to volume.

How fitting … just days after reading Jeff's inspirational story about crossing the finish of his first Ironman last year that yesterday I had a
horrific bad training day and if I had a towel to throw in last night, I can tell you that I would have easily thrown the whole damn thing in. The whole thing. But I'm not because I can't. I won't.
Yesterday was a scheduled 2100 yard swim followed by a five-mile run. The run was fine. The swim. Oh the blasted swim. The water was choppy and the boats on the lake were making it way worse. I hate feeling like a bobber in the water. My goggles were filling with water. I was swallowing it by the bucket full. All things aside my swim time wasn't atrocious, but I can tell you that I hated the way that it was making me feel, so I quit. I got out having done about half of what I should have done. I got out feeling completely defeated. Just two weeks ago I swam my half iron at Hague feeling completely relaxed and comfortable. Probably a little too relaxed based on my time, but comfortable. How can I go so quickly from comfortable to
essentially drowning struggling. So frustrating.
Exiting a good swim, on a calm lake….. #ilovedthisswimthemost
Fortunately, I had no towel to throw in, so I laced up my sneakers, threw on a visor, started my watch and went out for the run. As I was running I thought about cutting the run short because it was my fourth day running in a row and I didn't really "need" to get it in. However, the weather was cooperating and I didn't feel like I was drowning in humidity. Plus, I decided that based on having a lousy swim that I needed to pick myself up by my sneakers and be in control of what was happening in this moment. The run felt easy and free. I don't think I spoke other than to occasionally say hi to a passerby.
I made it back to my car and managed to change out of my wet tri top before the tears started. I had a horrible swim and a great run. Oh the ups and downs of all of this training and worrying are unbelievable. It wasn't a cry fest, just a few slow streamers as I drove my way down through Thatcher Park back towards home. I stopped at one point as a very slow porcupine crossed the road.
By the time I pulled over and got my camera, he was almost gone.
The porcupine was a good distraction. He helped me to stop thinking and just drive for a few minutes. As I was driving I realized how beautiful the sky was. How lucky I am to be doing this thing that I love and be outside in nature enjoying it.
So, I pulled over again to take this picture. And then I began to try to pull myself out of this little funk that one stupid swim had created. Here's a little self talk….
It's one swim. It's not everything.
There will be good days and there will be bad days.
What's important is that the good days outweigh the bad and that in the end I keep doing the thing that I love.
Ah yes, and now breathe.
There will be good days and there will be bad days.
In the end it's important to keep making the choice to be there and to be in the moment.
And tomorrow will be a new day.

Tennessee Valley Authority Deploys RAD's Multiservice Access Platform
RAD, a global leader in communications solutions for power utilities, announced today that the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is deploying RAD's purpose-built, cyber-secured multiservice access platform.
TVA is the second largest wholesale power producer in the United States, ultimately serving approximately nine million people across an 80,000 square-mile footprint that spans all or part of seven southeastern states, including Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia.
RAD's multiservice access platform, one of the pillars of its Service Assured Networking (SAN) solutions, is a perfect fit for power utility migration projects. It will replace legacy multiplexers currently installed in TVA facilities to support a variety of services over critical infrastructure, including automation functionalities, along with a variety of low-speed, high-speed, and voice services. TVA has also selected the RAD solution to replace and update, aging digital cross connects.
While TVA's communications services will continue to run over their self-maintained network, the RAD system offers a dual backplane that supports both circuit-switched and packet-switched networks either separately or concurrently. This will allow a smooth migration for implementing next-generation packet services, including Smart Grid applications, and anticipates the impending NERC-CIP v5 requirements for cyber security initiatives.
To bridge the gap between legacy and next-generation services, the RAD system could be used to deploy a solution that incorporates pseudowire emulation. Pseudowire, a technology pioneered by RAD, enables the transport of TDM traffic over IP/Ethernet networks.
"We are delighted that TVA selected RAD as a partner in upgrading the communications infrastructure in their facilities," states Uri Zilberman, RAD's Vice President, North America. "It is an ideal solution for power utilities with an extensive base of existing legacy services that also have an eye towards packet migration. The dual-backplane and comprehensive catalogue of service modules, both circuit switched and packet-based, make it an easy fit in power utility operational networks."
About TVA
The Tennessee Valley Authority is a corporation owned by the United States government that provides electricity for business customers and local power distributors serving nine-million people in parts of seven southeastern states. TVA receives no taxpayer funding, deriving virtually all of its revenues from sales of electricity. In addition to operating and investing its revenues in its electric system, TVA provides flood control, navigation and land management for the Tennessee River system and assists local power companies and state and local governments with economic development and job creation.
