Four years ago, when Jodi told me she was moving to France, I was overcome with all the emotions -- filled with joy and excitement for her and her new adventure, filled with love for the new chapter that her and Matt were starting, and totally saddened to know that we would no longer be living in the same city (or at the time, same country).
I'd like to think that having an ocean between friends makes their friendship stronger. We skyped regularly, visited as often as we could, and once she started her blog back in 2012, I knew I would never miss a beat. Each new post brought forward an enticing new recipe, and a sneak peak into the life that she (they), were creating in France.
She landed back in Canada yesterday, and to say that I'm excited to have her home would be an understatement. To channel some of this excitement, I reached out to some fellow blogging ladies to throw Jodi a virtual welcome home party. And in true Canadian spirit, its loaded with all things maple.
Check out the other ladies taking part in Jodi's maple infused welcome home party!
In the body of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, brown sugar and maple sugar until combined and smooth.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, egg and vanilla extract. Pour the mixture into the stand mixture, and beat until combined.
Finally, add the baking soda and baking powder, and beat one last time.
Gently fold in the flours and rolled oats, until everything is evenly combined.
Scoop the mixture using a 1" ice cream scoop, or roll the dough into 1" balls, and place onto parchment lined baking sheets. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
Gently press down on the top of each dough ball. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden. Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
While the cookies are baking, prepare the cashew cream. Combine all the ingredients in a high speed blender and blend on high until smooth. Keep the cashew cream in the fridge until ready to use.
To assemble the whoopie pies, place a spoonful of cashew cream on one cookie, and top with another cookie. Squeeze slightly and enjoy!

Comedysportz
Since 2004, ComedySportz® New York has been entertaining fans with the fastest and funniest form of improv comedy in the Big Apple. Two teams of improvisers vie for points in a hilarious competition by playing a series of improv games, similar to what yo may have seen on TV's Whose Line Is It Anyway? A referee governs the action, calling fouls and keeping the match moving at a blistering pace. The audience is always a part of the interactive show, and audience volunteers sometimes even wind up on stage! Because everything is improvised, it's never the same show twice. And it's clean–appropriate for all ages. Every ComedySportz® match is a unique and unforgettable event–laughs guaranteed! Come see why so many people come back to see us again and again.

Welcome to Explora Travel Corporation!
Explora Travel offers a variety of adventure and nature tours to complement the enjoyment of sun and beach during your vacations in Costa Rica.
Today, Costa Rica still remains as the safest country in Central America and despite being a small country, it offers a huge variety of fabulous destinations, perfect for everyone.
The combination of a great biodiversity, a rich culture, friendly people, different microclimates and beautiful landscapes ranging from active volcanoes to stunning beaches, is the secret to come and enjoy your holidays.
The country is the birthplace of ecotourism, for this reason, many of the tours can be enjoyed within its active volcanoes, rainforests, cloud forest, dry forests, rivers, waterfalls, hanging bridges and adventure activities such as Canopy tours and Whitewater rafting.
You can experience a great abundance of natural resources, which are all protected by the government in a national park system of protected areas that are home to approximately 5% of the world's biodiversity. These protected areas represent 25% of the national territory and includes 28 national parks, several biological reserves, forest reserves, and wildlife refuges.
Costa Rica general info
Costa Rica is located between Panama to the southeast and Nicaragua to the north. Costa Rica has two long coastlines, to the east lies the Caribbean Sea and to the west is the Pacific Ocean.
Costa Rica is a small country in Central America with a landmass of 19,700 square miles (51,000 square kilometers) along with 277 square miles (717 kilometers) of offshore waters.
The population in the country is approximately 5 million.
"Pura Vida" is the phrase that distinguish people in this country, literally means "Pure Life" in Spanish, but it also is a uniquely Costa Rican idiom for "everything is great.
Costa Ricans (Ticos) use this term to say hello, to say goodbye, to say everything's great, to say everything's cool. However, it is not the words that reflect the true meaning of ¡Pura Vida!. Pura Vida is the way Ticos live.
Costa Ricans are called "ticos" because of their unique way of saying diminutives in Spanish. For example, when saying something is small or "chico" in Spanish Costa Ricans would say it is "chiquitico," or very small.

MP100 is a positive set trap that does it all. It features a built on nose cone which allows it to be placed directly over an animal's burrow. The front slide can also be removed to use the trap as a flush mount positive set against a entry point on structures. This trap can used as a traditional scent or food bait set. This multi-purpose trap measures 30x8x8 and weighs 14lbs. It is constructed of 1/2x1" wire mesh throughout the trap to prevent bait theft and also prevent animal damage to property. An all around trap that is amazing when dealing with skunks or other small animals that burrow around structures.

Art and Feminism (lub Art+Feminism) – doroczny światowy maraton redagowania Wikipedii mający na celu uzupełnienie i/lub tworzenie haseł poświęconych kobietom związanym ze światem sztuki. Projekt ten, zainicjowany przez Siân Evans, Jacqueline Mabey, Michael Mandiberg, i Laurel Ptak opisywany był jako "międzynarodowa inicjatywa korygująca dysproporcje na łamach Wikipedii, która jest tworzona głównie przez mężczyzn i o mężczyznach".

Zainicjowana w 2014 roku kampania Art+Feminism przyciągnęła 600 wolontariuszy biorących udział w 30 wydarzeniach. W edycji z 2015 roku udział wzięło 1300 wolontariuszy podczas 70 wydarzeń w 17 krajach na czterech kontynentach.

Jedną z motywacji dla stworzenia projektu Art+Feminism była krytyka medialna systemu katalogowania Wikipedii. Za sprawą projektu uzupełniane są luki w zawartości Wikipedii oraz zwiększa się liczba kobiet-redaktorek. Zaledwie 17 procent znaczących biogramów na Wikipedii poświęconych jest kobietom, i tylko 15 procent jej redaktorek identyfikuje się jako kobiety.

Kampania Art + Feminism w Polsce

W marcu 2019 odbył się pierwszy maraton edycyjny Kolektywu Kariatyda w ramach globalnej akcji Art and Feminism, grupa kontynuuje regularne spotkania edycyjne nazywane "edytonami". W latach 2019–2020 kolektyw dodał lub zmienił przeszło 50 artykułów biograficznych poświęconych kobietom związanym ze sztuką w Polsce: artystkom, artywistkom, krytyczkom czy architektkom, wzbogacając przy tym do Wikimedia Commons o szereg zasobów multimedialnych.

Q: Set recurrence of Event "repeats every month" instead of "repeats every month, each 31st" ios
*

*I am setting an event for say the 13th of some month and recur it every month. It is getting repeated properly every month.
But when set it for 31st of some month it gets set for months with 31st only and in event it shows in Edit->Repeat->repeats every month, each 31st.

*I want it to set for at least last day month if no date 31st available for that month.

*Also for the month of February no 29, 30, or 31 then also the event from other months with these dates are not created.

Please note that we wanted to set continuous set of events so that deleting and editing them would be easy.
I wrote the following code:
let eventstore : EKEventStore = EKEventStore()
        eventstore.requestAccess(to: EKEntityType.event, completion: { (isallow, error) -> Void in
            var event:EKEvent!

                event.endDate = date
                event.calendar = eventstore.defaultCalendarForNewEvents
                let ekrules: EKRecurrenceRule = EKRecurrenceRule.init(recurrenceWith: EKRecurrenceFrequency.monthly, interval:self.selectedFrequency!, end: nil)
                event.recurrenceRules = [ekrules]
            }
            else // if there is already a event then update date
            {

                // if event is deleted by user
                event.startDate = date
                event.endDate = date
                if let oldalarm = event.alarms?[0]// remove old date alarm
                {
                    event.removeAlarm(oldalarm)

Bernice Goldberg
By NJJN Staff	September 19, 2011, 12:00 am Edit
Bernice Goldberg, 81, of Manchester died Aug. 24, 2011. Born and raised in New York, she lived in Northfield and Lakewood for many years before moving to Manchester in 1997.
Mrs. Goldberg worked as a saleswoman for Sears Roebuck and Co., a teacher's aide at the Ella G. Clarke School in Lakewood for 10 years, and a teller for Sovereign Bank in Howell before her retirement.
She was a past member of Temple Beth Or in Brick.
Predeceased by her husband, Albert, in 2000, she is survived by two sons, Gary of Island Heights and Drew of Toms River; two daughters, Lori of Harrington, Del., and Donna Applegate of Jackson; eight grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.
Services were held Aug. 25 with arrangements by Belkoff-Goldstein Funeral Chapel, Lakewood. Memorial contributions may be made to Congregation Sons of Israel, Lakewood.


I created a short story to stimulate their imaginations.
"Indulge in this delicious fantasy! Imagine you are the ultimate genius and athlete. You are a tennis super star, earning gazillions of dollars annually. International fame is yours.
"You are admired and respected internationally for shattering the previously accepted mental and physical barriers of human performance. How does it feel to possess superior coordination, unlimited endurance, incredible strength, and an integrated body and brain?
"What is it like to be ambidextrous mentally and physically, using both the right and left sides of your body and brain hemispheres? How would you describe the reality of using 90% of your brain rather than the norm of 10%?
The above story is a fantasy, but potentially real. Back in 1980, when I first created the "Tennis Challenge of Balance" program, Lionel Burt, the inventor of the Dual-Grip tennis racket gave me one to test. I learned of the incredible human physical and mental powers possible when both sides of the body and brain are developed equally. The dual-grip on the tennis racket made it easy to play two-handed off both sides and use forehands for shots out wide.
I practiced with the Dual-Grip tennis racket every day. I did my mental aerobic drills often because it was so much fun. The results were so incredible. The rest is history!
The Dual-Grip tennis racket is a revolution in technology and will have a great impact on most racket sports. A significant percentage of the top money winners in tennis use two-hands. As Pancho Segura says, "with so much money coming into the game now, eventually some super athlete will come along who is versatile enough to play with either hand or both hands, both sides…if only I could have had my two-handed forehand both sides." (London Financial Times, In My View by John Barrett, March 31, 1993). If you incorporate the learning techniques that are a result of brain research with balanced exercise anything is possible.

James Cameron reveals he is in negotiations to make new Terminator trilogy
James Cameron has confirmed he is negotiating to regain the rights to the Terminator franchise and is eyeing a new trilogy.
The director, who is currently hard at work on the four planned sequels to Avatar, will regain the rights to Terminator in 2019, but is already talking about the future of the franchise with the current rights holder.
Speaking to News.com.au, Cameron said: "The question is — has the franchise run its course or can it be freshened up? So I am in discussions with David Ellison, who is the current rights holder globally for the Terminator franchise, and the rights in the US market revert to me under US copyright law in a year and a half, so he and I are talking about what we can do. Right now we are leaning toward doing a three-film arc and reinventing it."
Cameron made his directorial debut when he made 1984 original The Terminator, the story of a cyborg assassin sent back in time from 2029 to 1984 to kill Sarah Connor, a woman whose son will one day become a saviour against machines in a post-apocalyptic future.
He returned to direct the sequel Terminator 2: Judgement Day, but has not been involved in any of the subsequent movies, including 2015's Terminator: Genisys.
Cameron, along with producer David Ellison, will now go into script development with the idea that Miller will direct when the script is ready.
The director's work will next be seen in the first Avatar sequel, which will be released around in Christmas 2018, followed by Avatar 3 in 2020, Avatar 4 in 2022, and Avatar 5 in 2023.

D-backs pitching coach: Keuchel still has 'some work to do;' Weaver to start Saturday
Jun 15, 2022, 6:51 AM | Updated: 2:54 pm

PHOENIX — The Arizona Diamondbacks are in search of a reliable arm at the backend of their rotation.
That hasn't been a secret since the start of the season, with Caleb Smith beginning the year as the D-backs' No. 5 starter before Humberto Castellanos took over prior to his injury that has him on the 60-day injured list.
And following the signing of Dallas Keuchel and the return of Luke Weaver off the IL, the last spot in the starting rotation once again seems to be up for grabs.
D-backs pitching coach Brent Strom on Tuesday announced Weaver as Saturday's starter against the Minnesota Twins, while Strom will get a closer look at the lefty Keuchel later this week.

"I still think we have some work to do in terms of getting the arm strength and the fastball back to where I was hoping it would become," the pitching coach said of Keuchel. "So I'm going to see him on Thursday during our off day.
"We're going to do a throwing session out at Salt River and he's going in daily to get his workouts in up at the complex and everything so I'll have a better read on it on Thursday."
Strom said Keuchel's most recent start at Salt River Fields went "fairly well," adding that the 2015 AL Cy Young Award winner went five or so innings on 80-plus pitches. However, Keuchel did struggle with the heat after not pitching for 14 days.
The duo spent five years together from 2014-18 as members of the Houston Astros en route to a World Series ring (2017), two All-Star appearances (2015, 2017) and four Gold Gloves (2014-16, 2018).
"I saw a lot of strikes, his sinker was very good according to the TrackMan data that we got," Strom said. "The thing that I need to get back with him is elevating the fastball for example — things that we had done over in Houston that he had kind of gotten away from for whatever reason."
Strom has been around the game of baseball long enough to know that pitchers are human beings and that their bodies will change as they get older. Keuchel was 24 years old when he first started working with Strom when they were members of the Astros.
But after three seasons apart, Strom is hopeful the Diamondbacks can get the 34-year-old lefty to tap into the stuff that once made him one of the game's best pitchers.
"The body changes, the mood and patterns sometimes reflect that body change or the different way you go about things," the pitching coach explained. "I think we need to get him back to where he was or at least as close as possible because this is an ultimate competitor and really was the guy as I've mentioned earlier that kind of led us out of the wilderness so to speak in Houston."

Inicio Gaming Acer Next May 2022: 3D Screens, Predator Gaming Laptops and More –...
Acer Next May 2022: 3D Screens, Predator Gaming Laptops and More – CNET
The company's spring announcement event brings SpatialLabs' 3D technology to its Predator gaming line, expands its roster of sustainable products and buffs up many more.
Lori Grunin
Senior Editor / Reviews
I've been writing about and reviewing consumer technology since before the turn of the century. I'm also a photographer and cat herder, frequently at the same time.
Acer Next, the company's May announcement event, dropped a multitude of products on us — mostly a raft of refreshes. We saw updates to existing models including the Spin 5, Swift 3 and Predator gaming laptops with current-generation processors and some design tweaks. One move in particular stands out, though: Acer's expanding its SpatialLabs technology to bring glasses-free stereoscopic 3D to games. It'll do this with a 15-inch 4K display, which will be offered as a standalone monitor and built in to one of its Predator Helios 300 gaming laptops.
SpatialLabs launched at last year's May Acer Next in conjunction with new hardware in Acer's Concept D line of creator-focused gear and an Unreal Engine developer program. Hence, new games supporting the technology. «Support» means the developer has created a profile for the game, which loads when you launch it via the new TrueGame application, along with the ancillary files necessary to render properly to the display. An ancillary app, SpatialLabs Go, will allow the computer to render stereoscopic 3D from most content that can be displayed full screen. The content is rendered to deliver the impression that nearer parts of the scene appear in front of the display (rather than rendering as if further objects were behind it, as the illustration above implies).
Rear view of the SpatialLabs View portable monitor.
Acer says more than 50 games will support the display, dubbed Acer SpatialLabs View, when it becomes available this summer starting at $1,099. New games will be added to the roster on a regular basis. It doesn't sound like a display you'd want for fast-moving games, given its 60Hz refresh rate and response time of up to a whopping 30ms. (For comparison, a decent response time for a gaming monitor is closer to 5ms or less.) There will also be a commercially oriented version of the monitor, the SpatialLabs View Pro, intended for kiosks and other sales and marketing uses.
The Predator Helios 300 SpatialLabs Edition.
The monitor can run off battery, though for how long we don't know. The battery does explain why it's relatively heavy — at roughly 3.3 pounds (1.5 kilograms), it weighs as much as a laptop. Other specs include a maximum brightness of 400 nits, typically 323 nits, and 100% coverage of the Adobe RGB gamut.
You'll find the screen in the Predator Helios 300 SpatialLabs Edition, which also gets a bump up to a maximum of an Intel Core i9-12900H CPU, 32GB DDR5-4800 and PCIe 4 SSD. It's slated to ship in October starting at $3,400.
Acer has also added a 16-inch model to its Predator Triton 300 SE line, and brings the thin-ish 14-inch model up to date with 12th-gen Intel Core processors, LPDDR5-5200 RAM, PCIe 4 SSD and new display choices, including OLED. The smaller model ships in July starting at $1,600, and the 16-inch model will be available in August, starting at $1,750.
The company has also revved its gaming monitors, bringing the 27-inch XB273 up to 4K at 160Hz with DisplayHDR 600 certification and the Nitro XV272 up to 1440p 144Hz (overclocked to 170Hz on DisplayPort) with a peak brightness of 400 nits. Both are expected to ship between July and September, with the Predator starting at $999 and the Nitro at $449.
Acer Aspire Vero 14-inch model.
Acer's eco-friendly product line gets some new members, adding a 14-inch laptop with a Full HD screen and a new blue choice to the existing Aspire Vero 15-inch option, bumping both to 12th-gen Intel Core processors. A 24-inch Vero Veriton All-in-One desktop, 24- and 27-inch monitors (the larger model has a KVM switch and supports power delivery), keyboard and projector join the the lineup, expanding Acer's use of post-consumer recycled plastic to a wider variety of products.
Acer Veriton all-in-one with matching accessories.
The Veriton desktop incorporates 30% PCR materials, and some components are upgradable. It has a popup webcam, up to 12th-gen Core i9 and GeForce MX550 processors, supports up to 64GB DDR4 memory and takes advantage of some of the Intel chipset updates, such as Wi-Fi 6E.
For low-end projecting, the Vero PD2325W offers a low 1,280×800-pixel resolution and low light output of 2,200 lumens. It does have auto keystone correction (to fix vertical distortion) and can be mounted to the ceiling.
A new version of the Swift 3 has a 2,880×1,800-pixel OLED display (DisplayHDR True Black 500 certified) and upgrades to an H-series 12th-gen Core i7 processor — that's the higher power CPU line — and upgrades to LPDDR5 memory and PCIe 4 SSD.
The Spin 5 has a higher-resolution display with thinner bezels.
In addition to a slight redesign that has much more attractive, thinner bezels on the screen, the 14-inch Spin 5's display gets a minor boost in resolution to 2,560×1,600 pixels. It also works with the upgraded Acer Active Stylus (Wacom AES 2.0), and gets bumped to the latest generation of core processors, LPDDR5 memory, PCIe 4 SSD, Wi-Fi 6E and more. The Spin 3's bezels have also gotten a bit narrower and now uses 12th-gen Intel CPUs as well.
Acer also updated the $750 Chromebook Spin 714's screen and components to keep it fresh and competitive, and launched a rugged tablet, the $400 Chromebook Tab 510. The 10.1-inch tablet is built on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 Compute Platform, with a 1,920×1,00-pixel screen, 5- and 8-megapixel MIPI cameras (front and rear) and includes a dockable stylus. Acer claims an 11-hour battery life and says it meets MIL-STD 810H standards for durability. The Chromebook Spin 714 ships in August while the Tab will be available in July.
The company's lightweight business laptops, the TravelMate P4 and TravelMate Spin P4 and the more workhorse P2, jump to the vPro versions of its 12th-gen CPUs as well as AMD's Ryzen Pro (up to Ryzen 7) equivalents; you'll have both 14- and 16-inch options for the P4. The P4 and P2 also incorporate more PCR plastic into their construction.
They'll all become available in the third quarter of 2022. The P4 models start at $1,099, the Spin P4s at $1,199, and the Spin P2 at $899.
And finally, Acer boosted its Concept D 5 and 5 Pro laptops and Concept D 500 and 100 desktops with the latest generation Intel Core CPUs and Nvidia RTX GPUs. The compact, entry-level Concept D 100 still uses last-gen T series GPUs, however, and neither has been bumped to DDR5. And it looks like only the D 5 will be available in the US, at least for now; it ships in August starting at $2,500.

LENZ: Has Twins Third Baseman Sano Regained His Form?
It was just two months ago that Twins fans were shocked to hear the news that Miguel Sano had been sent down to Single-A Fort Myers to do a complete reset.
As shocking as it was, most fans would likely agree that Sano was off his game and needed time to focus on himself. At that time, Sano was batting .203/.270/.405 and was striking out more than five times for every walk he earned.
In short, he looked big, off-balanced and undisciplined.
Pitchers were consistently attacking Sano with breaking balls low, away, and out of the strike zone as seen in the heat map below from Brooks Baseball.
A whopping 23.6 percent of breaking balls that Sano saw were thrown low, away and out of the zone. He swung at 29.8 percent of those pitches and whiffed on a quarter of the pitches he swung out while batting .043.
And you thought .203 was bad!
In reviewing video from earlier this year, his swing wasn't the big issue but it was his approach that needed to change. Twins hitting coach James Rowson noted to The Athletic that earlier in the year Sano was "swinging big" on every pitch and has worked on "shortening up" his swing on a two-strike count, which is where he swung and missed the most.
To put it easily, a shortened swing is getting the bat into the contact zone quicker by bringing your hands forward prior to the swing and keep your elbow closer to your stomach during the swing.
You'll see an example of both types of swings below.
On the left is a two-strike swing from earlier this season, while the right is a two-strike swing since his return. The first thing to notice is the slight difference in the location of the hands and the angle of the bat.
What looks like a minuscule difference can be huge when a pitch leaves the pitcher's hand and reaches the batter in less than a half-second.
The location of these pitches makes it hard to see how he keeps his hands closer to his stomach, but look carefully at the left GIF and you'll see a window between his arms about halfway through his swing where you won't see that window at the same point in the swing on the right.
This is a result of shortening his swing.
In the time since his return, these adjustments have led to seven two-strike hits — which gives him a total of nine on the season.
Yes, he only had two two-strike hits in the first part of his season.
Since his return, Sano has had almost exactly one-third as many plate appearances as he had before he was sent down.
In those 52 plate appearances, Sano has walked 11.9 percent of the time and struck out 32.2 percent of the time, which includes Tuesday's matinée versus the Pirates where he struck out three times.
Those numbers were at 8.6 percent and 40.5 percent, respectively, prior to his demotion.
An even better sign that the Twins are getting Sano back to his old form is that his chase rate is 4.0 percent better while seeing more pitches being thrown out of the strike zone.
Overall, many of his rate numbers since his return are right around his career averages with the biggest exception being his home-run rate.
Early returns from his reset suggest that Sano has decreased his launch angle by a couple degrees, which has, in turn, resulted in a career-high ground ball rate and a career-low fly ball rate.
As Rowson suggested, there are times when Sano will look to swing big and there are times where he will be looking to make solid contact.
For now, don't be overly concerned with his lack of home run production especially considering his slugging percentage is almost 60 points better now than it was in the first three months of the season.
It looks like Sano is on the right track to becoming the hitter he had been in his first three seasons at the major league level, but he is definitely still a work in progress.
What's more important than the rest of this season is that Sano continues to work over the offseason and doesn't fall back into old habits.
Only time will tell if Sano can be the franchise player so many fans think he can become.

White House Doctors Transcript to Remove Embarrassing Trump Response to Feinstein
Posted at 10:30 pm on January 10, 2018 by Patterico
Ann Coulter called it "the lowest day of the Trump presidency." Most people who care about immigration and have not been living under a rock heard this exchange between President Trump and Senator Dianne Feinstein yesterday:
From the official White House transcript:
SENATOR FEINSTEIN: I think there needs to be a willingness on both sides. And I think — and I don't know how you would feel about this, but I'd like to ask the question: What about a clean DACA bill now, with a commitment that we go into a comprehensive immigration reform procedure? Like we did back — oh, I remember when Kennedy was here and it was really a major, major effort, and it was a great disappointment that it went nowhere.
THE PRESIDENT: I remember that. I have no problem. I think that's basically what Dick is saying. We're going to come up with DACA. We're going to do DACA, and then we can start immediately on the phase two, which would be comprehensive.
SENATOR FEINSTEIN: Would you be agreeable to that?
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah, I would like — I would like to do that. Go ahead. I think a lot of people would like to see that, but I think we have to do DACA first.
The bold language was especially troubling, because Trump was agreeing to a clean DACA bill.
4th of July Thoughts
Funny thing about that: the bolded language didn't make its way into the initial version of the White House transcript:
The White House sent out a correction Wednesday to a transcript of President Donald Trump's meeting with members of Congress in which he explicitly agreed to a Democratic proposal to fix Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival program (DACA) before tackling immigration reform.
In the corrected version, which the White House sent out Wednesday morning—nearly 24 hours after the meeting took place—Sen. Dianne Feinstein asked Trump about the possibility of passing a legislative solution for DACA before turning to immigration reform, which would include issues like tougher border security.
Trump responded, "I would like — I would like to do that. Go ahead. I think a lot of people would like to see that, but I think we have to do DACA first. "
In the initial version, which the White House released on Tuesday, that comment from Trump was omitted. Instead, the quote read, "I think a lot of people would like to see that, but I think we have to do DACA first."
The White House story: it's all on the stenographer. I suppose that's possible. It's just odd, the way that the most damning part of the quote was initially whisked away.
Hey: at least they didn't doctor the actual video. That's the way Obama's shop used to do it.
None of this ever happened, gentlemen!

"Against all odds, food brings us together."
Gayane and Edward's Basturma: A Story of Resilience

NON-SPONSORED POST
In the few years I have spent in Armenia, my memory has aggregated a plethora of inspiring accounts of outstanding Armenian women from across the social stratum. My firm belief is that strong women are the rule rather than the exception in this Caucasian country.
Instead of relaying a collage of accounts here, I will focus on one true story—a story that mirrors those of other women.
Gayane is a retired professional, a mother of two accomplished grownups and the grandma of two grandkids. She generously opened her house and heart to share her story with me over an unforgettably lavish Armenian dinner.
Gayane was born in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, which was a Soviet state from 1922 to 1991. According to her, back then every citizen in Armenia and in the USSR had access to an excellent education: "I had a strong passion for mathematics, so I joined the Polytechnic University in Yerevan. Right after graduation, I landed a job in the IT department at the Ministry of Health" Gayane explaines.
Soon after, Gayane was married and had her two kids but that never hindered her pursuit of a career. "Armenian women are unmatched multitaskers," she notes. Edward, Gayane's husband is an engineer who worked for years at a Soviet military facility based in the Armenian capital. He had a prestigious, classified job.
"Life was smooth sailing, until an unpredictable political earthquake rattled our existence" Gayane remembers. The Soviet Union, (Armenia was one of its indispensable pillars) abruptly collapsed, unleashing an unanticipated chaos on all aspects of life.
Her husband lost his job, but she was lucky to keep hers. Her salary decreased though. Their income was much less than the expenses of a family with two little kids.
Complaining was a luxury that they couldn't afford. "We saw the writing on the wall. Ditching our titles was a must to survive. We embraced the harsh reality and bravely embarked on our good fight" She says. Besides her day job, she started a cake catering service from home, while her husband became an on-demand technician who repaired household electric appliances.
He worked as hard as he could to generate income, but in many cases he just couldn't charge some of his clients. "They were too poor to ask for any money," she explained.
Right after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Yerevan drowned in darkness, as power outages lasted most days and nights. Armenian citizens had access to power for no more than a couple hours daily to accomplish their routine tasks. Playing piano, guitar or violin was our sole mean of entertainment to distract kids from boredom and despair.
Strinkingly, Gayane recalls these days with a fair amount of nostalgia. "In face of the unknown, we Armenians bonded together. We never again experienced such unique proximity and warmth among extended family, friends, and neighbors. The darkness brought out the best in us. We treasure those love-brightened days'" she says with a smile on her face.
In these tumultuous times, many Armenian families chose to escape the brutal reality. They left to wealthier, promising destinations such as the US and Europe. Yet, Gayane and Edward didn't have that option, as they only speak Armenian and Russian. This is exactly when they realized that their kids should master English at any cost.
They hired a private tutor of English language for their kids. "We worked around the clock, borrowed money and tightened our belts in order to afford it" she recalls. Music was the second skill that Gayane was determined to teach her kids. She dedicated, amid my hectic routine, a couple of hours each day to teach her daughter piano and her son violin. The Armenian couple wanted to equip their children with every tool of success. "Luckily, our kids were appreciative, grateful, hard working, and they always exceeded our expectations" she emotionally says.
The investment in their children's education and skills started to pay off tremendously. Thanks to their excellent command of English, both Gayane's son and daughter worked as tour guides during college summer breaks. They used all their summer savings to surprise her with a washing machine, as I had never had one before" She says with tears in her eyes.
Both her children are recipients of U.S. fellowships. In high school, the daughter won the FLEX (Future Leaders' Exchange) fellowship. She spent one year with an Italian-American immigrant family in the US, and got to visit several landmark cities including New York. There she perfected her American accent, familiarized herself with U.S values, and lived a whole new experience that rounded up her personality.
As for the son, he received a summer fellowship: Work and Travel. Instead of having one job, he had two as a waiter. He came back home with terribly sore feet and a decent amount of money. "Instead of indulging on himself, he chose to remodel our old house," she notes proudly.
After completing their post graduate degrees, both children landed prestigious and rewarding jobs in the private sector. When I asked whether her children were ever tempted to immigrate, she answered "My children embraced early on the priceless value of family. They thrive where their roots are, and their roots are here in Armenia." Both Gayane's son and daughter are currently married with kids and live in Yerevan.
Gayane and Edward are now both retirees. They get to see their children often. If they are not babysitting their grandchildren, they would probably be making Basturma, an Armenian authentic appetizer. Gayane smiles and says, "Homemade Basturma might be our new project and small business. We were always a busy and productive couple, and we are determined to remain the same."
Basturma is a spiced log of cured beef. Armenians believe that it dates back to medieval ages, when fighters relied on those highly seasoned logs as a protein source. The war survival food evolved into an appetizer delicacy, and one of the highlights of the country's repertoire.
Basturma is either served thinly sliced on a platter or used as a powerful ingredient to perk up mundane dishes. Wrapped in an uncompromised blanket of fenugreek paste ( known as chemen), Basturma delivers an arsenal of robust aroma and flavor notes capable of shaking up any bland dish (see notes for pairing suggestions). The easiest and most common combo is eggs and basturma. In case you are tempted to try it, you should easily find it in Middle Eastern or Armenian grocery stores across the globe.
Below is Gayane and Edward home-cured and family recipe of Basturma. They were generous enough to offer me a log, which didn't last long in my fridge.
Gayane and Edgar's Basturma
Serves 10 – 12
Home-Cured Basturma
5 kg lean beef either topside or eye of round
625 g coarse salt (125 gram to every 1 kg of meat)
For Chemen (Fenugreek paste)
250 g of garlic, crushed
250 g paprika
250 Fenugreek
Poke the beef log from all sides with the tip of a knife. Sprinkle enough salt on the entire log and rub it thoroughly into the meat.
Lay the meat in an angle over a deep dish for two to three days in the fridge to discharge its liquid. Discard frequently the dripping liquid.
Rinse the log with running water and lay it over a colander in the fridge for 48 hours to dry out any moisture in the meat. Flip it occasionally.
When the beef log is fully dry wrap it with a tight plastic net to protect the beef log from flies and hang it in a dry and well ventilated place. Make sure the net is not made of fabric, because it will stick to the meat.
When the meat becomes dry and stiff, place a heavy weight like a cast iron skillet or bottles of water over the meat for 48 hrs.
To make the Chemen (the fenugreek paste), mix the spices, garlic and water to form a thick paste.
Remove the weight from the meat and start applying the chemen paste on the log. Leave it to dry for 24 to 48 hours.
Serve the Basturma thinly sliced along with some lavash bread. Alternatively, mix it with scrambled or sunny side up eggs.
Avoid exposing the Bastruma during the curing process to extreme or direct heat.
Experiment with mixing Basturma with bland type of veggies like Brussel sprouts or zucchini and you will be pleasantly surprise.

Peer into the Private Journals of Henry David Thoreau
by Miss Rosen Jul 6th, 2017
Photo: Benjamin D. Maxham (1821–1889), Henry D. Thoreau, Daguerreotype, Worcester, Massachusetts, June 18, 1856. Berg Collection, New York Public Library.
"How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live," came from the pen of no less than Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862), one the America's finest men of letters.
Also: The Greatest Art Romances of All Time
As a leading member of the Transcendental movement, Thoreau believed in the inherent goodness of people and nature. Seeing society and its institutions as the source of corruption, he believed that self-reliance and independence would purify the mind, body, and soul.
Henry D. Thoreau's earliest surviving journal notebook, open to entries from November 1837. The Morgan Library & Museum; purchased by Pierpont Morgan, 1909.
He walked the walk to the fullest extent, moving into the woods to deliberately live alone. "I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world," he wrote in "Where I Live, and What For" in his 1854 memoir, Walden.
Walden solidified Thoreau's legacy and became the cornerstone of a mythological American that both reveals and conceals the truth. It was but one volume in a lifelong body of work that is collected in his journals, which have largely gone unpublished. It is these journals, the private thoughts of a man in conversation with himself, that tell us who he really is for they were never meant for public consumption.
Here, in the space where he could be truly alone in the world, Thoreau is a man in full. In celebration of the 200th anniversary of his birth of July 12, The Morgan Library & Museum presents This Ever New Self: Thoreau and His Journal, the most comprehensive exhibition of the man's life work. Currently on view through September 10, 2017, This Ever New Self features nearly 100 items including more than 20 journals, plus letters, manuscripts, books from his library, pressed plants for him herbarium, and important personal artifacts including the only two photographs for which he ever sat.
The Morgan holds almost all of Thoreau's surviving journals, forty in all, which are quiet collections of study, thought, and observation. The exhibition includes his earliest surviving journal dating back to November 1837, when he was a mere 20 years old, and continues through his final journal entry dated November 3, 1861, just six months before he died at the age of 44 years old.
Henry D. Thoreau (1817–1862), First edition of Walden; or, Life in the Woods, Boston: Ticknor and Fields, 1854. The Morgan Library & Museum; bequest of Gordon N. Ray, 1987.
In addition to the journals, the exhibition includes artifacts from his life including the simple desk at which he sat and his goose quill pens, his copy of the Bhagavad-Gita and a first edition of Walden, his walking stick and the steel lock and key from the cell where he spent a night in jail in July 1846, when he refused to pay six years of delinquent poll taxes.
Thoreau refused to give his money to the state on the grounds that he opposed slavery and the Mexican-American War. Against his wishes, someone (most likely his aunt) paid the taxes and he was freed the following day. This experience became the impetus for his lecture turned essay, Civil Disobedience, published in 1849, in which he famously observed, "Law never made men a whit more just; and, by means of their respect for it, even the well-disposed are daily made the agents of injustice."
Here Thoreau advised, "Let your life be a counter-friction to stop the machine. What I have to do is to see, at any rate, that I do not lend myself to the wrong which I condemn."
He drew his words from his experiences, many of which he did not record. As a passionate abolitionist, he helped slaves along their path to freedom along the Underground Railroad, providing assistance as they made their way north to Canada. He wrote almost nothing about these activities in his journal, but instead used his writings as a space to call out the oppression and exploitation of the United States government.
As a writer, Thoreau used life as his canvas for examining ideas about the nature of humanity and exploring the ways in which we can best achieve our highest selves. The journal was an essential part of his practice, becoming the space in which he could distill and reflect, refine and purify his words until they were perfect. "Says I to my-self should be the motto of my Journal," he wrote in 1851, reminding us of the power we have to draw from the deepest wells of our soul.

Home | Dog Training | Want to train your dog like Red Dog?
Just like human infants, the first few months of a puppy's life is the time when they are the most receptive to formal dog training methods.
Make the most of this formative period by familiarising them with the outdoors and introducing them to different people and pets in a supervised setting. If they are not exposed and properly socialised, dogs may become anxious.
Red began training very early on, which has contributed to his flair for entertaining.
While you are undertaking puppy training, everyone in your household must be consistent with the chosen methods. The same words need to be used by every family member in order to reinforce the command.
Let your pup know which parts of the house are off-limits, so you don't find that your four-legged buddy has decided to claim your bed for himself!
A patient, uniform approach is best.
Here at Jordan Dog Training, we recognise that dogs respond better to reward than reprimand and this is precisely how Red Dog was trained to be the amazingly obedient pooch he is.
If you show that you are pleased with your pup when they do the right thing, they will be more likely to respond positively. Dogs won't want to approach someone who appears infuriated, so if they don't come when called, adopt a high, pleasant voice and clap your hands. When they do return to you, treat them!
We advise that you only scold your dog for serious undesirable behaviours such as jumping up on strangers, excessive barking or biting.
In order to make your reward system as appealing as possible, find out what your pet enjoys the most—Red Dog adores dried liver treats and playing fetch with a tennis ball—so these have become his go-to rewards.
Observe how your pooch reacts to different games and foods. If you notice that they love catching their Frisbee, indulge them in a game when they obey commands.
Remember that some dogs learn faster than others, so persistence is key.
Create a regular training schedule to devote time to reinforcing dog obedience training.
If your dog is past puppyhood, don't assume that they can't reap the benefits of expert advice. Jordan Dog Training has a fantastic dog obedience course for hounds of all ages, not just those needing puppy preschool.
We love nothing more than strengthening the bond between pooches and their owners by helping them to communicate more effectively. Our staff believe in dealing with the source of bad behaviour in order to provide the assistance that each canine deserves to reach its potential.
We hope to see you and your furry pal soon!

The Kingwood Alliance Soccer Club Recreational Program's principle focus is to organize, promote, and administer programs for the recreational youth soccer player in a safe, positive environment oriented towards fun and fairness.
Programs focus on learning and fun in a non-competitive environment. No scores or standings are maintained. The program focus remains fun and learning with orientation towards the more casual, recreational youth player.
All coaches will be required to play all players a minimum of 50% of the time. Additionally, no player will be allowed to play more than 75% of the game until and unless all other players have played not less than 75%.
Everyone in the area of Kingwood, Humble, Porter, New Caney and surrounding areas are invited to participate. We believe that our club has put together an excellent program that mixes the fun of soccer within a safe, nurturing and learning environment which hopefully allows the player to love the great game of soccer.
U4 through U7 - Division IV
Soccer for the pure enjoyment! For all beginners and those that have already played a few seasons. Positive coaching allows for encouragement and guidance not only in your weekly practice but at the games as well. All games are in house. All play groups are gender specific and mostly single aged.
Season Fees:
$115 (Early Registration)
$135 (Regular Registration)
$160 (Late Registration)
U8 through U10 -Division IV
Kingwood Alliance Soccer Club is pleased to announce the new format for its U8 through U10 recreational player. Besides the games on Saturdays and the team practice during the week your child will be part of the High Performance program which is designed exclusively for our members. The program is to provide advanced opportunities for our older recreational players so that they may fully enjoy the game. This will also better prepare them for the next level the following year if they so desire at that time. There will be Tuesday - Thursday night professional training run by Dynamo Dash Youth, which will be fully supported by the professional training staff. This will help supplement one of their team practices. This will also be a helpful tool for each coach as it can be used in their practice prior to the training. The training staff will also observe actual league games to assess players' level of performance under various circumstances to apply that knowledge to their training. There is also the opportunity to be invited to train with our Academy teams and participate as a guest player in their tournaments. This promotes genuine soccer development through multi-faceted games and different levels of play.
U11 and above - Division III
Division III program is offered to recreational players starting at U11. Division III is a higher level of play and thus players will train with a professional trainer once a week. There is another training session every week with the team head coach/volunteer parent.
This league is played against other recreational clubs in Houston and requires some traveling. Half of the games are played in Kingwood (NorthPark Fields) and the other half are played in the Houston area. Most of the games are played on Saturday but there are also games scheduled for an occasional Sunday. Players must play at least 50% of the playing time every game.
Division III is still considered recreational. No tryouts required!

Zombiefication: Midnight Stench
Call me what you will, but I'll admit that I was a bit skeptical when I received the promo for this album in my inbox. A band named Zombiefication with an album entitled Midnight Stench almost immediately screams "we think we're badass and scary, but we really aren't!" Thankfully, I was wrong in this scenario. These guys actually are badass, and Midnight Stench is one hell of a death metal album. Provided that old school death metal is your thing, you don't take it all too seriously, and you want to hear something downright filthy and brutal, Midnight Stench is unquestionably worth tracking down.
Zombiefication plays a style of primitive death/thrash that relies heavily on influence from the early Swedish scene. The heavy, downtuned-chugging riffs just reek of early 90's Swedish death metal. There are even some doomy sections in tracks like "Sleepless Mutter" that hint towards the scene as well. Mexico has a fairly decent-sized death/thrash scene right now, and one could also pick up some smaller influences from that scene as well. The production is also very raw and authentic to the early-90's time frame. The guitars just sound so raw and unpolished! I love it!
Midnight Stench isn't a terribly original album - as a matter of fact, it wouldn't be unreasonable to consider it a clone of the early Swedish death metal scene. But when a "clone" band delivers music of this level of quality, that becomes a bit irrelevant in the big picture. If you're a fan of downright filthy death metal, this is worth further investigation. I'll give Midnight Stench 3.5 stars, but if you don't care about "originality" you can easily tag on an extra half-star. Recommended!

Elements in the Partner Entity dimension represent business relationships to other companies within the group. All internal partner entities should aggregate to the consolidated element Total Group. The elements may be structured by a hierarchy of intermediate levels or be directly assigned to Total Group.
~ (Not Applicable): data that is not broken down by a partner entity is stored on this element. This type of element is sometimes also referred to as a "dummy element". This element is also used for business relationships with external partners.
Unassigned: this is a bucket that should be empty most of the time. It may refer to partner entities that are missing when data is imported from a source system yet are in the partner entity dimension. During the data load the missing elements are created on the fly under the parent Unassigned. When the dimension is later updated, the new elements will be relocated to their correct parent.
The elements Total Group, ~, and Unassigned should not be deleted. Otherwise, the reports using these elements would be broken.
On aggregated levels where all descendants have one common country, this country code should also be assigned to the aggregated element. For aggregations of partner entities in mixed countries, this attribute must be empty.

Following a trail blazed by New York, Attorney General Eric Holder Thursday endorsed a plan to reduce federal prison sentences for nonviolent drug offenders. Dialing back harsh mandatory minimum prison time -- as the U.S. Sentencing Commission has proposed -- would salvage lives, save money and make the federal criminal justice system fairer and more effective.
The state -- to its credit -- has been in the vanguard of such smart-on-crime reforms for a decade.
True, back in 1973, it led the charge to long mandatory sentences when the Rockefeller drug laws were enacted.
But it reversed course under Republican Gov. George Pataki a decade ago and under Democratic Gov. David Paterson in 2009, embracing drug treatment as a more cost-effective alternative to incarceration.
Result: The state's prison population has plunged from 72,600 in 1999 to 54,200 now. Officials have been able to close nine prisons -- with four more scheduled to close this year -- for a total savings of $162 million annually.
Meanwhile, the state led with another key reform last month when its prison system became the nation's largest to prohibit disciplinary solitary confinement for inmates younger than 18. As part of a deal to settle a New York Civil Liberties Union lawsuit, the state also agreed to remove pregnant women and developmentally disabled prisoners from solitary confinement -- a form of emotional torture that can leave inmates out of touch with reality.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has seized the opportunity offered by a steep drop in crime rates to rethink other practices, too. His proposal to expand the chance to earn a college degree behind bars would cut recidivism and save public dollars. His plan to stop incarcerating 16- and 17-year-olds in adult prisons, where they are at increased risk of sexual assault and psychiatric problems, is just common sense.
Both ought to be implemented. They would keep the state on a course that has cut ruinous incarceration levels, saved money, and given former inmates a better chance to lead productive lives -- all while boosting public safety.
We're hoping Joseph Ponte, the city's new corrections chief, will follow through with similar reforms.
