This article gives you, a business owner or representative with access to the primary business phone number, the ability to update the Yahoo listing for the business for free.
The Yahoo Directory has gone through a lot of changes in the last few years. Yahoo no longer manages it directly, they have outsourced the entire directory to another company under the Localworks brand. When that change was made we all lost the ability to update our directory listings unless we paid a company with a relationship with Yahoo. Since then, however, a method to update it for free has reappeared.
Here are the steps to get to the free Yahoo business listing.
- Go to Yahoo and search for the business by name: http://yahoo.com
- In the Yahoo Business Callout Box you will see a link that states: "Verify your listing"... click that link
- Be aware that you are on a website run by Yext and by entering the business phone number and contact information you are agreeing to be contacted by the Yext Sales department, which generally calls within an hour during the work week. There is no need to buy a service from Yext.
- In needed, enter the appropriate business information in the popup box.
- You will then see a Yext page with a bunch of information that shows status on a bunch of directory websites. Ignore all of that and click "Continue"
- Next, you can update the information on the business listing. Complete everything on this page. Use the standard name, address, and phone number for the business. Then click "Continue"
- You will then be presented with several paid plan options. There is a tiny link on the page that will state something like: "Claim your Basic Listing on Yahoo"... Click on that link.
- You are now on the "Yahoo Basic Listing Checkout" page. Complete the checkout process (It is free) and click "Place Order"
- Yext will send an email to the email address you provided in the form for the business. Open the link to create an account and then log in to the account.
- Now, go through the business verification process. Several options will generally be provided to you. The easiest and fastest method is to have Yext call the business number.
- Once you are a verified representative of the business the listing updates will be published.
That's it, you have successfully taken ownership of and updated the Yahoo Directory listing for the business for free.
There are 11 Local Business Listings you need to claim and keep up to date to rank well in search and attract customers. Get the full list and set of instructions by becoming a member!

Yesterday evening I watched Mary and Martha, on BBC 1. I found the film incredibly moving, and it has inspired me to do more to help in the fight against malaria. This morning I received this email from Jo Yirrell, the lady who inspired the character of Martha.
I have decided to 'add my voice', by writing to my local MP, Jeremy Lefroy, to ask him about what more can be done to help end deaths caused by malaria.

Research has revealed these major points:
- High school students have many vocational and avocational interests.
- Teenagers want a broader experience that provides practical "hands-on" experience and is tailored to their cultural backgrounds.
- Teenagers want to belong to a group that provides a "safe haven" from which to address the youth development issues that affect them. These issues include experimentation; moving from dependence to interdependence, social relationships, psychological changes and sexual maturity, and a re-evaluation of values.
Nobody offers more exhilarating or a wider variety of high adventure for young people than the Boy Scouts of America. Through high adventure experiences, The Boy Scouts of America leaves lasting memories with youth and fosters development in character and leadership.

Elaine Almost Reveals Her Secret!
Elaine doesn't want her brother to judge her fiancé based on looks, but rather on who "he" is on the inside. But, when Elaine almost blows it by saying "her" instead of "him," her brother becomes suspicious. Will Elaine be able to keep her big secret until the wedding day?


text: Hi I was at the dam this morning with my friend Larry. We saw no gadwall but did get some Redheads, male and female, a pair of bufflehead, three green winged teal flying and I believe some ring necks and the usual common mergansers, goldeneye, and a single Ruddy duck. I've posted some more photos. Not the greatest since they are from a distance but you should do well with your spotting scopes. People have asked me from where I saw these. Well first of all on the Coon Rapids side. If you don't want to pay parking park outside on the street. Then I would go up to the walkway first. It is closed to walk across but you can get up to it. Then I would take the trail east of the visitors center upstream or north and every couple of hundred yards look towards the river. There are a couple of good areas to sit and wait maybe a quarter mile upstream and then another quarter mile. There are not large flocks but twenty to thirty here and there. Good Luck I saw several of you today. Ron Taube Coon Rapids Here are a couple more photos from today https://www.flickr.com/photos/ronsthoughts/ <https://www.flickr.com/photos/ronsthoughts/>

Competency-Based Education in Kenya: Contending With the Imperatives for Successful Implementation
Bunyi, G.
MetadataShow full item record
It is now official; in response to the challenge of providing quality education for sustainable development, Kenya is switching from objectives-based curriculum to competency-based curriculum (CBC). The Cabinet Secretary for education has been saying this loud and clear. Surprisingly, however, the Cabinet Secretary's pronouncements have generated little, if any, discussion among education scholars or lay people. My objective in this paper is to open up discussion on this curriculum reform that is now underway. Proponents of competency-based education (CBE) argue that by focusing on competencies or what learners can do with the education they have received, competency based education is better suited to ensuring that education responds to the needs of society (and therefore of the Kenyan society as articulated in Kenya Vision 2030). Developing a competency-based curriculum therefore entails clearly identifying the competencies that learners will be required to attain at different points of their education. In this paper takes a historical perspective to CBE and demonstrate that (i) CBE has been around for a long time in countries such as the US and Canada and that its precursors are what pertains in Kenya today, (ii) while seemingly entailing not so radical curriculum change, CBE has far-reaching policy, practice and cost implications and therefore constitutes an educational reform in the league of educational reforms such as the 8:4:4 reforms of the 1980s. More importantly the paper discusses the policy and practice implications as well as the principles of successful implementation of curriculum innovations that we will need to pay attention to as we embark on CBE in Kenya.

After a two-week national celebration of sporting brilliance, dedication and old-fashioned hard work, tonight (August 13) Big Brother will award £50,000 to a celebrity wannabe who has spent weeks locked in a house in Elstree.
Five housemates remain in with a chance of claiming the prize - Deana Uppal, Luke Scrase, Adam Kelly, Luke Anderson and Sara McLean.
But who do you want to walk out of the famous compound with the series crown and a wodge of cash in their back pocket?
Deana has survived the most evictions and is the bookmakers' favourite, but 'Outsiders' Luke A and Adam should run her close in the final vote.
Luke S is the long shot outsider after his showmance with Ashleigh Hughes and free pass to the final, while Sara may have been too quiet to push her way to victory.
Who do you want to win the Big Brother final? Vote in our poll and let us know at the bottom of the page!

Richard Stevens:
Today was much colder than yesterday with only a high of 30 degrees. Winds were 5-6 mph with gusts to 14 mph.
Rebecca and I drove back roads over to Aurora Reservoir in the afternoon. Eventually we relocated the Long-tailed Duck, one Lesser Black-backed Gull and the Glaucous-winged looking Gull.
No owls were found along the DIA Owl Loop as we passed by the loop.
After dinner, we passed through Cherry Creek Reservoir (Arapahoe). A Great Horned Owl perched in the cottonwood at the Cottonwood Creek Wetlands. The previously reported Barn Owl was not found.

Use a Weighted Basketball for Better Passing, Stronger Ball Handling, & Tougher Rebounders
Do your players throw lazy passes that get intercepted? Do you need players that pound the basketball when they dribble? Would you like to see your players rip the basketball out of the air on rebounds and squeeze the air out of it?
Well if you answered "Yes" to any of these questions you should give our weighted basketball a try and see the great results you can get.
Weighted Basketball for Better Passing
Players at all levels throw loopy passes with too much air under them. You can tell players until you are blue in the face to throw the ball hard and snap it and some of them still won't do it.
So an easy solution to this problem is to add a weighted basketball into your passing drills and players will have to throw the ball with a lot more force to make normal passes. Now keep your players at normal spacing where they would throw passes in a game. Spend time with the weigthed basketball working on various drills and then add the regular basketball into the drill.
Your players won't believe how light the regular basketball feels compared to the weighted basketball. Emphasize to your players that they should throw the regular basketball with the same force used to throw the weighted ball.
Use a Weighted Basketball to Pound the Basketball
If you listen to the ball when the best players dribble it, you will hear the ball hitting the floor hard. The harder you can dribble the basketball and still control it the better. The harder you dribble the basketball the quicker it get back into your hand. You can pass, dribble, and shoot with the ball in your hand. You can't do anything with it when it's not in your hand.
Now we are talking about fractions of seconds but that matters in how well a player can control the ball.
Better Rebounding with a Weighted Basketball
Rebounding drills won't be the same if you use a weighted basketball. Since the ball is heavier players will have to squeeze it harder to maintain control of it. Now work back in the regular basketball and tell players to squeeze it like the weighted ball and your players will be rebounding with authority.
Men's and Women's Weighted Basketball
The men's 29.5 inch weighted basketball is 3 lbs which is twice the weight of a regulation basketball.
The women's 28.5 inch weighted basketball is 2.75 lbs and is also great for youth players.
The weighted basketball will increase strength in the forearms, hands, wrist, and fingers.

Breville BREBMF600XL Milk Café Frother
Creamy milk and hot chocolate maker Hot milk drinks are best when made with
the smallest bubbles. Rather than a bubble bath, it's that creamy consistency that
creates a rich hot chocolate or a smooth latte or cappuccino. The Milk Café uses
induction heating and spinning to make those small bubbles. Simply choose the
fit frothing disc – latte for a creamy result, the cappuccino disc for more froth – fill
with enough milk for one or up to three cups, select your temperature, and start.
The milk café will froth and turn itself off when the desired temperature is achieved … NOTE: Kindly refer to the manual

After reading that Glen Urquhart's congressional campaign paid $750 in sign violation fines to DelDOT in the last campaign-finance reporting period (Oct. 11 through Nov. 22), we wondered how much the state collects from enforcing the rules about where candidates can plant their signs.
It's not exactly a windfall, apparently, but no one at DelDOT tracks sign-violation fines by what kind of sign the fine was attached to, according to Mike Williams, DelDOT spokesman. Sign violations are sign violations, no matter if the sign is promoting a candidate, hawking furniture bargains or predicting when the world will end.
If a sign is planted in a forbidden area, a $25 fine is levied and the sign is removed. If the sign owner wants the sign back, he or she must pay an additional $15.
From 2005 when the state's new sign law was enacted through 2009, a total of 12,883 illegal signs were removed and $108,835 was collected in fines and recovery fees, Williams said.
Jerry O'Neill, Urquhart's campaign treasurer, wondered how the state could hold a candidate responsible for what happens to the hundreds of signs placed by supporters. And, he wondered, how do you control what people do to a sign after it is planted? Anyone with villainous intent could move a properly placed sign into illegal territory.
Williams said the state simply responds to what it discovers.
"If it's a violation when we see it -- then it gets a notice," he wrote in an e-mail today. Suggesting that lots of signs are moved to illegal areas "is quite a stretch of conspiracy from DelDOT's view."

The Difference Between Medical Bandages And Medical Gauze
Medical bandages and medical gauze are disposable medical consumables. For the purpose of isolating wounds and preventing infections, medical bandages and medical gauzes are different in specific applications. The following is the difference between medical bandages and medical gauze:
Medical bandages are mainly used to bandage wounds to prevent wound infections. Surgery, orthopaedics, varicose veins of the lower extremities, prevention of blood circulation resulting from swelling of the extremities, and bandaging of swelling diseases after removal of the plaster from the limbs.
Medical bandages:
Medical bandages are mainly classified as gauze bandages or elastic bandages. They are mainly used to bandage wounds and prevent wound infections. Surgery, orthopaedics, varicose veins of the lower extremities, prevention of blood circulation resulting from swelling of the extremities, and bandaging of swelling diseases after removal of the plaster from the limbs.
Medical bandages are divided into two kinds of cotton gauze bandages and elastic bandages.
1. All-cotton gauze bandage: It is mainly used for bandaging and fixation of hospital surgical and home wound dressings in vitro.
2, elastic bandages: mainly used for varicose veins of lower extremity, orthopedics and other patients of the dressing to improve blood circulation and prevent limb swelling. It can also replace the abdominal band after surgery for pressure dressing or general wound dressing in different parts of the body.
Medical bandages for purchase and use Note: 1 are generally sold in non-sterile medical products. If you use medical bandages on the wound site, you should consider using them separately from the wounds. 2 When you purchase medical bandages, look at the appearance of the product. Products should be white, no yellow spots, no pollution, no severe weaving or broken wires.
Medical gauze:
Medical gauze refers to absorbent gauze: it requires high temperature sterilization, chlorine bleaching. Used for medical supplies. Specifically used to brace wounds after disinfection. To purchase regular medical gauze, its packaging is extinguished before leaving the factory. As long as the packaging is intact and has not passed the validity period, it is safe, but it should be noted that if it is not used up after opening the packaging, it will belong to the carrier. Yellow gauze is oil gauze is not only the function of disinfection, the drugs on it have astringent wounds, anti-inflammatory and prevent the gauze and wound adhesion, general sterile gauze does not have these effects, if the wound wound exudates, with ordinary The gauze will cause the gauze to stick together with the flesh and blood, which will cause the wound to bleed again.

The news website BuzzFeed reports that the United States held secret talks with Hamas for the past six months to discuss maintenance of the Palestinian resistance movement's cease-fire with Israel and the formation of the recently announced Palestinian unity government.
"Our administration needed to hear from them that this unity government would move toward democratic elections, and toward a more peaceful resolution with the entire region," noted the report, quoting a US official. "It was important to have that line of communication."
The State Department denies that Washington has broken its self-imposed boycott of talks with Hamas.
"These assertions are completely untrue," spokeswoman Marie Harf told BuzzFeed. "There is no such back channel. Our position on Hamas has not changed."
Well-informed sources in the region are skeptical that currently serving US officials have met with official Hamas representatives.
"I doubt it," explained one top-level security official in Cairo. "This is my personal assessment. Perhaps through the Carter Center, yes, but a direct dialogue, this could not be."
The United States has never lacked for access to authoritative information about Hamas. Over the last decade, a parade of American interlocutors, including the author, have sought to keep US officials — some more interested than others — appraised of Hamas' take on events. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton herself played a leading role in discussions that resulted in a cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas after Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, announcing, along with then-Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Amr, the truce between Israel and Hamas in Cairo on Nov. 21, 2012.
Washington's cautious endorsement earlier this week of the joint effort by Hamas and Fatah to form a government to administer parts of the West Bank and Gaza Strip offers the best evidence that Hamas' ostracism is ending.
Endorsements of the new Palestinian government came from around the world, with Russia, China, India, Turkey, France and the United Kingdom expressing their support. The European Union and the United Nations added their approval for good measure.
The reason for the international embrace of Palestinian reconciliation, in contrast to previous stillborn efforts, is the absence of a US-supported diplomatic alternative. Today, there is no prospect of what US officials used to call a "political horizon" to focus hope for a peace deal. Therefore its corollary — opposition to a deal between Fatah and Hamas — has become passé. The Palestinian effort now commands international attention and support. With or without the United States, this train had already left the station.

The West Windsor Plainsboro Soccer Association is happy to report that thanks to the great feedback from our families, exciting new changes are happening to our spring recreation program.
An overwhelming number of families suggested that a team format, similar to the fall program, was a better approach than the current pick-up style. In addition, we are partnering with the recreation soccer clubs in nearby towns such as East Windsor and Robbinsville to increase the number of teams that our WWPSA players can compete against.
Exciting things are also happening with our travel programs. We continue to enhance our offerings through our Global Premier Soccer partnership as the first season with them on board has gone extremely well.
GPS is a nationally and internationally recognized program, having won state, regional and national titles, while offering best in class training and development for youth around the country.
Their player development model is second to none. We will continue to invest in and grow this partnership while also growing the core WWPSA travel programs in parallel.
Lastly, for the adults in our community, our adult programming provides a place for age 19 and older folks to come out, stay fit, compete and enjoy the game of soccer.
In the spring and fall, coed teams are formed for an 8v8 league that plays on Saturday afternoons. It's really a great environment! I have experienced this first hand, with my kids watching 'Dad" get some exercise.
In the summer we run a 5v5 league at Duck Pond Park on Wednesday nights, and in the winter we have rented gym space through the schools to keep us moving. I know it can be difficult as a parent to stay active, and what better way than to play soccer.
Thank you to all our dedicated families for making the WWPSA program a premier soccer program in the area.
Please visit wwpsa.org to learn more about any of these programs. I'm also available at email@example.com if you have any questions, comments or concerns.
We are a volunteer run program committed to offering the best experience for all levels of players so please don't hesitate to reach out. Our other board members are equally available to talk to you about your concerns, talk about your ideas to improve the club and to make sure that you are 100 percent informed.
We are all volunteers and are always looking for more of our members to help, so please let us know what can we do to continue to improve the various programs.
— James Moore

India's 5 best tours of England
- The Indians have toured England many times, but these are the most successful.
As India prepare to tour England next year, here are some of the team's best tours to the country in cricket history.
It will be the twentieth time India have toured England, the first in 1911 when an 'all-Indian' team played twenty-three matches. On said tour, fourteen of those matches were of first-class status and the team left with a record of two wins, ten draws and ten losses.
However, it was not until 1932 that the first England-India Tests were played in England. The tourists lost the only Test at Lords by 158 runs, despite Mohammad Nissar leaving with impressive figures of 5-93.
#1 1971 Tour
On this tour, India won their first-ever series in England. A very strong spin attack of Bishen Bedi, Chandrasekar and Venkataragahavan caused problems for the English.
Three Tests were played and in the first Test at Lord's, India pushed hard for a win but England were saved by a career-best seventy-three from England tailender John Snow and India were left 38 runs from the win.
In the next Test, it was England that would dominate at Old Trafford. Again the game would be drawn, but a rain delay meant that England failed to bowl out the tourists in the second innings. They finished on 65 for three, still needing 355 more runs to win.
It was the Oval that hosted the final Test in which India were behind the game after only replying 284 to England's 355.
However, the home side were then skittled for just 101 thanks to Chandrasekhar, who left with figures of 6-38. 174 was then chased down successfully, which ended England's run of 26 Tests without loss.
The win sparked huge celebrations back home in a series in which a young Sunil Gavaskar featured.

here today, gone tomorrow. i served the next-to-last of it
today with a tossed salad (lettuce, much tomato, grated carrot,
tri-color greenpepper, grated cheese, raspberry-vinegrette)
and soup (canned cream-of-celery, fresh celery fried in
baconfat, four colors of greenpepper ditto, leftover steak
cut up fine, baconbits). later there was a BLT. meanwhile
a few more utensils and dishes have found appropriate places
to spend their waiting-to-be-used time in. we live good.
for extra decadence, dip the beerbread in Ranch. yum.

technical difficulties

i've put away dishes this morning…
so the drying rack is empty (as you
can see). the rinsed-and-ready file
on the RHS (= "right-hand side") of
the sink isn't at all close to full,
so i won't be running hot water before
breakfast. that four-slice toaster's
a gem (one can serve two sandwiches
at once on very freshly toasted bread).
the enormous punchbowl recently held
corn chips (tostito's original restaurant
style from the "party size" bag; the second
such bowlful from that bag, leaving enough
chips for one more suchlike serves-two
serving; last night's batch we had with
sour cream and from-a-jar salsa [also
"tostito's"). before that, chickenwing-&-
-baconbit salad (romaine hearts, half
a tomato, grated carrot, chopped celery,
grated swiss, bottled "garlic expressions"
dressing; serve with ritz crackers. watch
an ep of _columbo_. rub her feet.

always halfway there
Posted by vlorbik on April 17, 2014
between yesterday's quiche…
finished during this afternoon's
movie (_nebraska_; thumb up).
madeline made it not i, but the
"secret" this time around is
"lots of sausage & a little
green pepper". gee it was good.
and tonight's "perfect lemon bars"…
madeline's about to make *those*
(from some printed-out recipe…
no secret here: fresh lemons
will be the reason *this* stuff
rocks (as it almost inevitably
will). what they call "lemon
zest" is evidently what the world
calls lemon *rind*. i quit read-
ing the recipe (it's lying nearby
next to the bowl of lemons)
right there, so i can't tell you
any more about *that*.
i'll've finished up some leftover dishes;
you can see 'em here freshly rinsed
from the almost-used-up soapy water
that's now most recently gone down
the left-hand drain. also i'l've had
the usual two or three cups of coffee;
also some lemonade (both all-natural and
"streched" with powder-mix 'nade…
all "beverage committee" stuff and so
all mixed up by me). half-and-half
in the coffee, praise gaia.
the quiche, we had the last two-
-sixths of, zapped and served on sidedish
plates, with a nice thick tomato slice on
top, and a little puddle of greek seasoning
on the side (of the plate itself… not,
for pity sake, in some crazy "saltcellar"
or anything).
and that's about it. some salsa-and-ranch
two-dip blend drying out by the sink from last
night's cornchip orgy while i was bussing-

High Level Design
Script Writing
Interface Design
Mobile Considerations
Analysis: The process starts with listening to your goals and challenges. These challenges may be as complex as high-level performance issues or as basic as the need for developing a compliance program. Then, through careful analysis we identify specific solutions that meet your needs.
High Level Design: A typical starting point in the design of training solutions is the high-level design. This design phase will address all of the goals and instructional needs and takes into consideration the analysis of the intended audience, technology, and environment. The high-level design document is a deliverable that provides the blueprint for the entire training solution.
Detailed Design: After the high-level design is complete and the instructional goals, techniques and strategies are established, the next phase is to begin the detailed design of the instruction. This will normally include:
- Storyboard & Script Development: Storyboards provide a detailed screen by screen description of the instruction. All text, graphics, animation, voice-over scripts, video, and interactive exercises are described, on paper, for team review and refinement.
- Interface Design and Prototyping: A critical element of successful eLearning is an intuitive engaging interface. Our designers will provide interface and content screen designs for review, refinement, and approval. We also pull all of the elements together in a working prototype for a final review and refinement process.
- Mobile Considerations: Throughout this phase, compatibility with various mobile devices, i.e. phones and tablets from different vendors, is addressed with our responsive design technology.

This decision had led to a heated election campaign which has, for the first time, seen the emergence of new actors beyond the existing political elite who have dominated the political stage in Lebanon for decades: on the one hand, this includes many political and social activists who thus far have been primarily active outside of political institutions, and representatives of opposition parties of a more or less progressive and left-wing nature on the other (for example, the Lebanese Communist Party). In the past months these initiatives have been collectively referred to as "civil society", a term which alludes both to the fact that most of these actors' political work originates from outside of the state-led political institutions, and that "civil society" in Lebanon is historically linked, in particular to oppositional and peace initiatives that took place during the civil war.
Without a doubt, the estimated 14 lists running this Sunday who claim to be in opposition to the ruling political parties in Lebanon stand as a challenge and an achievement which will continue to shape Lebanon's political trajectory, irrespective of Sunday's outcome. The challenge primarily lies in the fact that, since its independence, Lebanon rests on a more or less well-established political system of confessionalism, capitalism and clientelism – an interplay which has repeatedly collapsed due to violent conflicts and civil wars, only to be restructured during the aftermath. In addition, as a result of the ongoing civil war in neighbouring Syria, the high number of refugees seeking shelter in Lebanon as well as Hezbollah's military interventions have put Lebanon under political strain in recent years both domestically and internationally. Another challenge is the fact that the reformed electoral law continues to protect the confessional system as well as the political elite, while encumbering the formation of independent lists. These are further restricted by the fact that the maximum financial expenditure for a candidate's electoral campaign is among the highest in the world. Electoral campaigning in Lebanon is, therefore, mainly determined by how much money one can spend. This presents a further challenge, seeing as the country is in the middle of a profound economic crisis which leaves little room for an economic alternative to clientelism and neo-liberalism.
Regarding the lists which have formed as a progressive opposition or "civil society" alternative to the existing political system despite these challenges, this oppositional stance is still palpable across all lists. The main criticism of these lists coming from Lebanese civil society itself is that they lack a uniform or convincing political programme, and that candidates who are jointly running for office represent completely different positions. Moreover, many essential issues such as gender equality, the assurance of human and social rights for Lebanese citizens, migrants and refugees alike, the stance on the Syrian regime and Hezbollah as well as an economic alternative that goes beyond the demand for privatisation and a bail-out of the public sector are excluded. The different coalitions that have joined forces in most electoral constituencies under the name "Kulluna watani" ("We Are All the Nation") thus appear as a conglomeration of various individual positions and political views, whereby candidates appear happy to bury their heads in the sand when it comes to certain topics. A consensus is primarily found in opposing the ruling system and presenting some form of political alternative.
As is so often the case in Lebanon, it is worth taking a look beyond the "iron blanket" and the existing attempts to break through it. Various initiatives that critically examine the parliamentary elections and the work of both parties of the political elite and of "civil society" are worth mentioning here: operating under the name "Mist3ideen" ("ready, prepared"), a group of critical activists has set itself the task of reviewing the lists of civil society candidates for compliance with various democratic values and standards. The results, which provide a clear overview of the strengths and weaknesses of each candidate's position, were published on their website a few days ago. One week ago, political activist Sylvana Lakkis resigned from the Electoral Supervisory Committee, to which she had been appointed by the Cabinet. She cited the interference of high-ranking politicians and ministries in the election campaign and in the work of the Committee as motivation, which made its independence and transparency impossible. In her position as Director of the "Lebanese Physically Handicapped Union", Lakkis further launched the campaign "Our Rights", which raises awareness of the inaccessibility of polling stations for the physically disabled. In addition, the campaign "One Vote for the Missing" led by the Committee for Families of Kidnapped and Disappeared in Lebanon (CFKDL) draws attention to the yet unsolved cases of people who disappeared during the civil war, and the blanket of silence upheld by many politicians surrounding these war crimes.
Whether this weekend leads to the breaching or even weakening of this iron blanket, whether the underlying pressure will merely increase or whether the freedom above the iron blanket is, indeed, boundless – all of this remains to be seen this coming Sunday, and in the subsequent years of the new legislative period. Surely, however, the last months of the electoral campaign have already shown that when it comes to Lebanon's iron blanket, progressive politics remain both conceivable and possible.

5 Benefits of Pink Himalayan Salt
Salt is one of the elements considered building blocks to life. Having enough salt in your diet makes a difference to your well-being, as long as the salt in question is all natural, so forget about refined, processed table salt that only raises your blood pressure and threatens your health. While not all types of salt are healthy, pink Himalayan salt is considered the breakthrough in the field, being highly praised by specialists and nutritionists around the world for the benefits it provides.
It is one of the few products that are 100% natural, unprocessed, mined by hand in salt caves formed millions of years ago, as a result of the ocean salt settling in various geologic pockets around the earth. It contains a full spectrum of trace elements and no less than 84 minerals in its unrefined form, having little in common with refined table salt that has turned into a real threat for human health, as so many health specialists around the world warn.
As for the benefits consuming it provides, here are the five most important:
1. Anti-Aging
Salt in general and Himalayan salt in particular is known to have valuable anti-aging properties, to increase vitality by neutralizing the body's acidic properties. The acids that the body produces can be stored and begin to create problems. Himalayan salt helps eliminate acids and cleans the digestive system, restoring your body's health and vigor. As a result, you feel lighter, energetic and readier to begin your day.
2. Greater Focus
Included in one's daily diet, Himalayan salt will bring about an increase in productivity and focus. It is believed to improve mental clarity and induce a state of optimism, improving one's energy levels and ability to cope with daily routine.
3. Cramps and Constipation Relief
If you have ever had digestive track problems, you know that such issues can get in the way of just about everything. Himalayan salt is said to have healing and regulatory properties that allow it to fight constipation, provide relief in case of cramps and improve the functioning of your digestive system. If you consume it regularly, it will help your body eliminate toxins and enjoy a smoother digestion.
4. Source of Minerals and Essentials
Pink Himalayan salt is rich in essential minerals that ensure healthier electrolyte levels. Electrolytes are the minerals in your blood responsible for conducting and carrying electrical charge. They also regulate the amount of water in your body and keep track of the pH level. The minerals in the salt are absorbed by the electrolytes, replenish them and enable them to carry on with their functions better, allowing you to enjoy a better mood and a better general state of health.
5. Enhancing Food Properties and Adding Savor
Pink Himalayan salt can be added to sweets, greens, meats and snacks. No matter the recipe, it will enhance the taste and flavor of the food it is combined with, as well as the properties of the ingredients in the foods you eat. Otherwise put, if you add this type of salt to your diet, every meal will bring you:
- Higher levels of energy;
- Additional minerals and essentials;
- Protection against the signs of aging;
- Improved ability to focus on your daily tasks.
However, in order to enjoy all these benefits, it is important to by your pink Himalayan salt from a verified source. As with most health breakthroughs, counterfeit products are always available, and you would not want to spend your hard earned money on colored refined table salt that will not only fail to provide the above described benefits, but will also jeopardize your health.

A Nest is the social unit of the Nagah. It is composed of 2- 5 shifters, each representing a different breed. Nests are nomadic and generally gather only before the Sesha and the Crowns.
The Nagah nest is in many ways similar to a Garou pack. Nests do not have pack totems, owing to the Nagah's distant relationship with the majority of Gaian spirits. However, a nest is still considered to have a spiritual bond, which allows them to nominate an "opener of the way" into the Umbra.
Nests do not necessarily have a fixed leadership; the nest members themselves decide who among them should have the final word in crisis situations, and the "leader" position may change hands several times over a mission, depending on the nature of the tasks immediately at hand. Nestmates are usually far too close to make leadership challenges; a Nagah quickly learns to trust his nestmates implicitly and to behave in a manner befitting his nestmates' trust in him. For many Nagah, their nestmates are their family, their friends, their spiritual guides and their lovers in one and such, the bond between them is much closer than that of any mortal family.

Sunderland striker Wahbi Khazri has made a come-and-get-me plea to Premier League clubs, stressing that he would like to continue playing in England.
Khazri joined Sunderland from Bordeaux for nearly £12m in 2016, but aside from occasional moments of brilliance he has not realised his potential at the Stadium of Light, scoring just three goals in over 40 appearances for the Black Cats.
He rediscovered his goalscoring touch last season when he returned to France on loan with Rennes, scoring 11 times in all competitions.
But the Tunisia international wants a second chance in England - though not at Sunderland, who are now in the third tier of English football for the first time since 1987/88.
"It's not easy for a Tunisian to play in the Premier League, so I feel privileged because of the opportunity I've had," Khazri said, as quoted by the Daily Mail.
"Now I am focused only on the World Cup, but I would like to continue playing in English football if I can.
"We'll see. I will be open to all ideas and listen to everything."
A combination of his poor goalscoring record and high wages means that Sunderland will be happy to sell Khazri, but they may struggle to find a Premier League suitor.
Khazri is the top scorer in the Tunisia World Cup squad but his goal against Belgium on Saturday couldn't prevent the Eagles of Carthage from slipping to a 5-2 defeat.

Massachusetts is the sixth booziest brunch state, with the state having one of the highest percentage of drunken driving fatalities in the nation during the morning and early afternoon, according to a new study.
Insurance company QuoteWizard.com LLC used the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Fatality Analysis Reporting System and looked at the total number of drunken driving fatalities that occurred from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in 2013 to 2017. The company then compared the total number of drunken driving fatalities to the total number of driving fatalities between those hours.
Of the 343 driving fatalities Massachusetts reported in those hours over five years, 50 were drunken driving fatalities, or 14.57 percent.

The credit crunch could shatter consumer confidence in financial services, leading to long-term changes in the way we engage with savings, pensions and protection products.
A new report by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) warns that the economic turmoil has already had an impact on the way people view financial services such as banks, building societies and insurers.
While in the short-term a heightened awareness of economic uncertainty has led more people to review their finances, the FSA is concerned that there is a long-term risk of disengagement and increased distrust of financial products and the companies that sell them.
For example, the FSA notes that fear of redundancy and stretched budgets have caused people to look away from long-term savings towards more liquid alternatives that allow them to access their money easily. While this sort of savings buffer is useful during a recession, there is a concern that such behaviour could become embedded even when favourable economic conditions return.
This means that people opting for safety above returns could miss out financially down the line. With savings, accounts that require you to lock away your money tend to offer better returns compared to those that allow unlimited withdrawals.
While this is not too great a concern over the short-term, the FSA warns that if this becomes a long-term trend savers' returns will suffer, bearing in mind that rising prices erode value further.
People nearing retirement are particularly at risk, especially if their pensions have suffered from the stockmarket turmoil. While older workers tend to save more as retirement approaches, a lack of trust in the value of pensions (brought on by falling equity prices and low annuity returns) could force people to work for longer or take an income hit.
The FSA's report, entitled Financial Risk Outlook, also warns that the current lack of credit, such as mortgages and loans, coupled with stretched household budgets is likely to result in larger numbers of people struggling to cope with their debt.
"Consumers are more likely to default on repayments, maximise unsecured credit lines (such as credit cards) or seek out loan shark debt to fill the gap," the report adds.
There is also a risk from financial fraud, which tends to increase during times of economic hardship. The FSA says people should avoid deals that look "too good to be true".

ISC West Day 1
I think I'm actually ready for ISC West meeting frenzy after a morning run on the strip with Gene Szatkowsky from Secure i and SSN associate editor, my comrade, Dan Gelinas. I arrived in Vegas yesterday and last night I went to the Alarm Industry Research and Educational Foundation (AIREF) Reception at the Rock House. (Very nice event, but the Rock House had the special ambience found in a frat house.) In attendance were members of the AIREF board of directors, the NBFAA Executive Committee and players and sponsors of the 6th Annual AIREF Golf Classic at ISC West. John Jennings, (SafeGuard Security CEO)—and, I learned last night, chairman of AIREF—announced that the golf event raised $1,000 which will be used for industry training efforts. Saw lots of people there including ASG CEO Joe Nuccio, who I'll be interviewing for ssnTVnews later today; SDA Security president Shandon Harbour; Dave Simon (Brink's) and Dave Koenig (Capital Fire & Security) who played golf together, but didn't win like they sometimes do. Dave Merrick of Vector; George Gunning, Merlin Guilbeau, Pat Egan, the one and only Bart Didden, GE's Kirk McDowell, and many, many others. Gotta run now. Meeting frenzy starts in less than an hour at the Honeywell Booth, where I'll catch up with Ralph Maniscalco and David Gottlieb, meet Honeywell's new GM for their cable and CE business, Brian Casey, and hopefully get a chance to talk to Ron Rothman for a few minutes. Throughout the day I'll see Ray King, president of VES (used to be Viking); Stanley's Tony Byerly; attend a Pelco press conference, and live, from Booth 1129, on ssnTVnews, I'll be interviewing Bill Polk from Capital Source, Dean Seaver president of GE Security; Alex Dunn, COO of Apx Alarm; Joe Nuccio, as I mentioned, and Chester Donati of DMC Security.

A young Rovers fan enjoyed a dream day out at Brockhall after a good deed was duly rewarded.
Nathan Banks met manager Gary Bowyer on a special visit to Rovers' senior training centre after scooping one of the Borough's inaugural Your Call Good Neighbour Awards.
The 11-year-old, from Darwen, was nominated for the award by an elderly neighbour, whose driveway he cleared of snow voluntarily last winter.
The Blackburn with Darwen Council initiative, which is supported by Rovers, the Lancashire Telegraph and Capita, pays tribute to unsung heroes who make a real difference to the lives of people on their streets.
After enjoying a kick-about with Rovers' new boss on the club's new artificial pitch, Nathan was given a behind-the-scenes tour of the training ground, where he will return later in the summer to take part in a pre-season training session with the first team.
Nathan is joined by Rovers manager Gary Bowyer, operations director Paul Agnew and leader of the Council Kate Hollern at Brockhall.

Is there a better time to be putting on a show of hope set in a time of depression? I don't think so. I must admit to being a tad biased about this show as my neice Ellen is part of the cast and tonight she was in the leading role – and what a brilliant performance she put on for us. For singing/dancing and great sets you couldn't do better. There's a reason it's had rave reviews and plays to packed houses – go see!
In this clip she's the Annie standing second left…..it's a hard knock life!
Ellen and sisters Anja and Celine enjoy some well deserved post-performance attention. Big smiles all round (well, you're never fully dressed without one are you!).

Callable and puttable debt gives a view of why and how contracts matter.
Callable, putable, and convertible bonds are three examples that demonstrate the importance of contracts and how they can be worded in a way to reduce conflicts among various stakeholders.
"A bond is callable when the issuer has the right to return the investor's principal and cease all interest payments before the bond matures."Edit Remove Move
This video explains the meaning of callable bonds and why these types of bonds are issued. It also shows why they may have a higher coupon rate and who benefits most from the call feature of a bond. Questions or Comments? Have a question or topic you'd like to learn more about?Edit Remove Move
Puttable bond is a bond with an embedded put option. The holder of the puttable bond has the right, but not the obligation, to demand early repayment of the principal. The put option is exercisable on one or more specified dates. This video is targeted to blind users.Edit Remove Move
Convertible bonds are corporate bonds that investors are able to 'convert' to a set number of shares of the issuer's common stock. So why not just buy the company's stock in the first place? Watch to learn more. Questions or Comments? Have a question or topic you'd like to learn more about?Edit Remove Move
Different answers to this exist, but mainly they center around interest rate and a reduction of conflicts between bondholders and shareholders. From a market efficiency perspective, the conflict reduction hypothesis seems to make more sense.
The authors find that firms with poor future investments are more likely to issue callable debt on the premise that if they do not need the money, the firm will call the debt back. "We argue that callable bonds can be used to hedge investment risk, since they can resolve risk shifting problem when firms' investment opportunities are poor. Our empirical findings strongly support this argument. We find that firms facing poorer future investment opportunities are more likely to issue callable bonds. In addition, firms with higher leverage ratio and higher investment risk are more likely to issue callable bonds"Edit Remove Move
"Convertible bonds are hybrid securities that have both debt and equity features. Like a normal straight bond, the buyer receives coupon payments at the interest rate specified on the bond until maturity, when the company redeems the bond at par. However, the bond holders also have the option to convert the bond's value into the issuing company's shares at an agreed-upon pre-specified ratio."Edit Remove Move
New players to the investing game often ask what convertible bonds are, and whether they are bonds or stocks. Essentially, they are corporate bonds that can be converted by the holder into the common stock of the issuing company. In this article, we'll cover the basics of these chameleon-like securities as well as their upsides and downsides.Edit Remove Move

GMC to delegate minor complaints
As new rules emerged to help GPs manage suspected UTIs, researchers warned antibiotics are still overused
A simple dipstick test or a series of clinical rules could be used to target antibiotic prescriptions for urinary tract infections, a new study finds.
GPs said the model would be particularly useful for out-of-hours work, when a rapid diagnosis was usually required, but urged GPs to otherwise send urine samples to the laboratory to confirm a UTI.
The research showed a dipstick test, based on whether patients had either nitrites or both leucocytes and blood in the urine, had a sensitivity of 77 per cent and a specificity of 70 per cent for identifying UTIs.
The 'clinical rule' model, based on patients having two out of four clinical features, was less sensitive at 65 per cent and slightly less specific at 69 per cent. The clinical features were cloudy urine, urine with an offensive smell, moderately severe dysuria, and moderately severe nocturia.
Study leader Professor Paul Little, professor of primary care research at the University of Southampton and a GP in Romsey, Hampshire, said if there were three clinical features he would 'immediately' prescribe antibiotics as this related to an 84 per cent chance the patient had an UTI.
The research, which has been submitted to the British Journal of General Practice, was based on 427 women presenting with a suspected UTI in GP surgeries. The clinical rule and dipstick test were compared with laboratory diagnosis of a UTI.
Professor Little, who presented the findings last week at the Society for Academic Primary Care conference in Gateshead, said: 'If there were no clinical features then I would, personally, not offer antibiotics but ask them to
return if symptoms were not settling.
'If there were three or more features I would offer immediate antibiotics and delay the offer of antibiotics to those in the middle.'
Dr Chaand Nagpaul, a member of the BMA's public health committee and a GP in Harrow, Middlesex, said: 'The rules are helpful in certain circumstances but I would not see them as a replacement of the need to send samples to the lab.'
He added: 'Most GPs can get results in a day or two. Where these rules are helpful is out of hours.'

It has been a difficult year for many wine producers. The difficult fungal disease downy mildew has been widely present in Europe's southern wine regions, where many producers have lost part of their harvest. The copious rains early in the season brought on the nasty fungus. However, the world production of wine in 2018 is still very big, according to recently published figures. The estimate of total global wine production is 282 million hectolitres, a high figure compared to 2017 with its historical low 251 million hl, and one of the highest harvests since 2000.
In Europe, all three of the big wine-growing countries had large crops:
- Italy (48.5 million hl)
- France (46.4 Mhl) and
- Spain (40.9 Mhl).
In Europe, only Portugal (5.3 Mhl) and Greece (2.2 Mhl) had smaller harvests than 2017.
Outside of Europe:
South Africa only managed a small harvest (9.5 Mhl) due to severe drought.
Chile (12.9 Mhl) and Argentina (14.5 Mhl), on the other hand, greatly increased their production compared with 2017.
The United States (23.9 Mhl) scored a normal harvest and is solidly anchored as the world's fourth biggest producer.
Australia (12.5 Mhl) decreased slightly and New Zealand (3 Mhl) again made a big harvest.

#163 California law schools
(mp3 file)
In California, there are more law schools and more lawyers than in any other state.
There are four types of law programs in California. First, there are the law schools which are approved by the American Bar Association. Second, there are the law schools which are accredited by the California State Bar's Committee of Bar Examiners. Third, there are the law schools which are not accredited, either by the American Bar Association, or by the California State Bar Examiners. Fourth, there are correspondence law courses that are registered with the Committee of Bar Examiners, but which are not accredited by the American Bar Association or by the Committee of Bar Examiners.
The law schools which are approved by the American Bar Association generally have high academic requirements for admission, require a bachelor's degree with a good grade point average, and a good score on the nationwide law school admission test, known as the LSAT. Graduates of ABA-approved law schools are eligible to take the state bar exam in every state in the nation. Law schools approved by the ABA also meet high standards for faculty, curriculum, law library holdings, facilities, and financial support.
The law schools which are accredited by the California State Bar Examiners, but not by the ABA, are those which meet the standards and requirements of the California Committee of Bar Examiners for law schools in California. These requirements are generally not as exacting as the standards set by the ABA, particularly with respect to physical plant, library and full-time faculty.
Graduates of law schools accredited by the California state bar examiners are eligible to take the state bar examination in California, as are graduates of unaccredited and correspondence law schools, but most other states require graduation from a law school approved by the ABA in order to be eligible to take their state's bar exam.
The third and fourth groups are schools and correspondence courses not approved by the ABA, nor by the California state bar examiners. These programs do not meet the minimum standards of either organization, and they usually do not require that students have a bachelor's degree or any specific pre-legal education. At the end of their first year of study, students of unaccredited programs must take what is called the first year law students' examination, also known as the "baby bar," which covers the subjects of contracts, torts, and criminal law. The examination is given by the State Committee of Bar Examiners. Students of all unaccredited schools must pass this examination, before the state bar examiners will allow credit for up to two years of law study.
Between 50 and 60% of law school graduates who take the California bar examinations usually pass the exam, and are admitted to the state bar as attorneys. The highest pass rate as a group is by graduates of ABA-approved law schools, in both California and other states. The next highest pass rate as a group is by graduates of state bar accredited schools, while the lowest pass rate as a group is by graduates of unaccredited law schools and correspondence programs.
Law school studies in California require three years of full time study in and graduation from law school, or four years of part time study. Several ABA-approved law schools have evening classes for part-time students, who usually attend three to four nights a week. State bar accredited law schools have evening, daytime, or weekend classes for part-time students, and many have full-time programs as well. Most unaccredited law schools have evening classes only.
The California state bar examination is given twice a year, usually in February and July, and law school graduates may take the exam as many times as necessary. The exam lasts for three days, and those taking the exam respond to questions and issues in a variety of legal subjects. All attorneys who are licensed to practice law in California must first pass the state bar examination.
For information about ABA approved law schools, contact the ABA's section of legal education and admissions to the bar at 310-988-6738. More information can be found on the ABA website at www.abanet.org/legaled.html.
For further and up-to-date information about law schools in California, and to obtain a list of law schools with full addresses and phone numbers, you may contact the committee of bar examiners, state bar of California, which has offices in San Francisco and Los Angeles. The phone number for the state bar office in San Francisco is area code (415) 538-2000, and in Los Angeles it is area code (213) 765-1000. More information can also be found at www.calbar.ca.gov.

How to choose Used Chevrolet Cars at Smart PricesRecommend Article Article Comments Print Article Share this content on Facebook Share this post on Twitter Share this short article on bing Share this post on Linkedin Share this informative article on StumbleUpon Share this information on Delicious Share this post on Digg Share this informative article on Reddit Share this particular article on Pinterest
Buying used Chevrolet cars is not very difficult, but buying a quality used car at smart prices may take a little more effort. If you don't know how the auction process works and bid, then chances are you won't buy a used car at smart price, used car auctions are a great source for used cars but. Many times it truly is possible to buy cars at cheap prices if you select the cars from auctions: people make this happen everyday. If you don't do the necessary research, while incredible savings is possible, you may end up paying higher than required.
To purchase used Chevrolet used cars, you have got to find places where Chevrolet cars can be purchased. When you try to find used car sales and auctions online you will see much information. Some auctions enable you to participate and register in sales online. Online auctions provide means for buyers to evaluate the condition of your car (like providing independent condition reports) which take most of the uncertainty from buying used cars online.
Sometimes used cars are put for sale by loan companies that are keen in ridding yourself of your car as quickly as possible. If you know of such institutions then it is possible to approach them and buy your favorite car even before it is put up for public auction. Negotiation is a key skill that you have to develop in order to buy quality used cars at smart prices. In second hand car auctions and sales you will get surprising discounts that you have never imagined.
Sticking to your financial allowance is essential while planning to buy used cars at auction. After the level of competition is high you should not bid much more than what you might afford. Don't be worried about not finding another such car again as used cars show up for auction everyday. Second hand car auctions are frequently held also it won't be difficult to acquire precisely the same model and also make at another auction. Or maybe the same vehicle may appear up for the same auction later. Take your time to inspect the car and determine its worth, before determining how much you are ready to pay for the used car. Especially go with your gut instinct and you will probably make your smart second hand car deal. Acquire more about New York Chevy

These delicious stuffed potatoes are the perfect example of a clean eating twist on an old comfort food. They are the perfect side dish or make a complete meal with a seasonal side salad and oil/vinegar dressing! Seriously you guys, these stuffed potatoes will knock your socks off!
Look no further mi amigos: you have found the perfect meal. No need to make anything else again.
Each week I test many different produce combinations based on what comes in from my handy dandy seasonal co-op. Most weeks I have some sort of a plan with the items I think are going to be a real show stopper, but I make a few backup dishes just in case they completely bomb. This was a backup dish that made all the other meals cry and beg for mercy. I distinctly remember saying "WOW!" after I had tried the stuffed potato filling, and that was before I put them back in the oven to get nice and crispy on top. After tasting the finished product, my first thought was that I needed everyone in a nearby radius to stuff these stuffed potatoes in their mouths immediately. That was overshadowed in about two seconds by a teensy selfish thought as I stared back at the baking tray:
"Do I reeeeeeally want to share? I only have 4 stuffed potato halves. Maybe I'll just send everyone a picture, see if they sound/look good, and hide the rest in the fridge so Kevin won't find them when he gets home." Can you guess which one I did?
Let's just leave it at guessing. He's not much of a carb kinda guy anyway :)
The trick to re-creating a comfort food with a healthy twist is finding the perfect balance of flavor without going overboard. Moderation and choosing the better ingredient is key. For example, this stuffed potato recipe does contain bacon, but I chose a nitrate free, uncured version and only used a small portion. By doing this, the need for tons of butter and sour cream that is found in most twice baked potatoes is eliminated. Decreasing the amount of cheese and packing them full of nutrient-dense broccoli was the next step. In the end, the combination was perfecto. And guilt free.
Broccoli is the star player in this stuffed potato dish. Typically, the peak season is October, through April, and I have been getting TONS of it in the last few months. It is an extremely nutrient dense vegetable, packed with fiber, folate, Vitamins A and K as well as certain antioxidants such as lutein and zeaxanthin. It also contains phytochemicals to help prevent certain cancers. Did you know that a half cup contains 84 percent of the daily recommended value of Vitamin C? Who said you have to get vitamin C from citrus only! Put some broccoli in my mouth!
Russet potatoes are available year round, but this meal could easily be made with a seasonally grown potato that is on sale or in abundance at the local farmers' markets. These large brown baking potatoes have a high starch content which makes them great for mashing. In fact, they are typically only grown in the US, so when European chefs head home, they will often take a bag of russets because they are unlike any potato found overseas. The peel is packed with nutrients and the whole potato is a great source of Vitamin B6, manganese, Vitamin C, folate, niacin, magnesium, iron, and fiber. They are also extremely nutrient dense in Potassium, almost double the amount that is in bananas. Is that why I crave french fries? That must be it. I am low in potassium on Chik-fil-a days. We will go with that….
Ok, enough talking already…Go stuff your face with a twice baked broccoli cheese stuffed potato! Nom Nom!!!
With much love from my table to yours,
xoxo, Tiffany
Twice Baked Broccoli, Bacon and Cheese Stuffed Potatoes
- 2 large Russet or Idaho potatoes
- 1 head broccoli roughly chopped
- 2 slices nitrate free bacon
- 1 cup Dubliner cheddar I use Kerry-gold grass-fed brand, shredded
- 1/2 cup greek yogurt
- 1 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 400. Wash and dry potatoes. Prick with a fork and bake 45 min to an hour or until tender. Remove from oven and let sit for a few minutes until cool enough to handle.
While potatoes are cooking, add broccoli to a medium saucepan and place enough water to cover the bottom of the pan about an inch high. Cover with a lid and place of medium heat. Let steam for 20 minutes until tender. Remove from heat, drain and place in food processor.
While broccoli is steaming, heat a small pan and fry bacon until crispy. Remove bacon from pan, and save 2 tbsp bacon grease. Add to food processor. Cut potatoes in half, scoop out the insides, leaving a 1/2 inch border to keep the potato from falling apart. Place potato filling in food processor and add remaining ingredients. Blend until completely combined and broccoli is pureed. Fill potato shells and top with additional cheese or bacon bits if desired. Bake for an additional 25 min, or until potato filling starts to brown. Serve with a seasonal side salad for a full meal.
