I had heard about this easy roast from my sister in law, so I finally decided to give it a shot. The result was amazing, and really it doesn't get much more simple than two ingredients, yes two! We have had shredded pork burritos, pork nachos, and pork sandwiches this week. I still have pork left, but I think I will freeze the rest otherwise my family might get a bit burned out if I serve shredded pork for every supper this week!
Place roast in slow cooker and dump the jar of pepper rings over the roast. Cook on low for 8-10 hours. I had a giant 7 lb roast, so it took the entire 10 hours.
Products that are considered staples in our house!
100 Calorie Guacamole Minis: I thought I was the only one addicted to these delightful things. However, I noticed they kept disappearing and I knew my kids weren't eating them. Well, low and behold I caught the husband snacking on these after work one day. He said it was the perfect amount so he didn't eat too much before supper, and you know what?...He's right (we won't tell him I said that!)! Of course I use the multigrain tortilla chips or carrot sticks to dip with. I also use these during the year in my lunch to spread on my wraps as well or for dipping.
Simply Nature Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing: If you can still find this one, consider yourself lucky! This dressing has become my absolute favorite, especially with summertime salads. My latest go to salad has been baby spinach topped with tomatoes, blueberries, and slivered almonds and a tablespoon (or more) of this deliciousness!
Fudge Mint Cookies....aka Girl Scout Thin Mints Darn you, Aldi! I had mentally prepared myself prior to entering Aldi that I was going to eat healthy this week and not snack on my kiddos' junk food. I was doing so well the first two aisles of this shopping endeavor, then I spotted these wonderful cookies! I thought, hmm I wonder if those taste anything like the Girl Scout cookies? Mind you it was 2:30 in the afternoon so I was getting a bit hungry, and I'm pretty sure the conversation in my mind went something like this, "I will grab them and see if the kids like them (yeah right!)! Maybe I will eat a couple on the way home from the store since I am kind of hungry."
Well, Aldi has done it again, these cookies are fabulous! Notice the second picture? All those cookies were consumed on the way home from the grocery store by none other than yours truly.
That's right, heatless, as in I didn't have to heat up my house by using the oven or stove! This is a big deal when the heat index is well above 100 and the air conditioning seems to be constantly running to keep up!
3 Never Any Chicken Breasts1 pks Ranch seasoning1 or 2 chicken bouillon cubes2 slices Never Any Smoked Bacon1 cup of water Directions: Place Chicken in slow cooker, cover with Ranch, place bacon over the ranch, put bouillon cubes in bottom of slow cooker, pour in water, cook on low for about 8 hours or until chicken is done. Remove chicken from slow cooker and shred.
For a Wrap: I like the Fit N Active wraps, any of them. Place shredded chicken in wrap and top with lettuce, tomato, avocado, cucumber, and salsa (this is how I like to prepare mine). Wrap and serve...delish!
The title has a story behind it. Whenever Katie and her family come to our house her husband always notices my overly full pantry and fridge of snacks, and says to Katie, "We need more shnaacks!" So I thought today's shnaack post would be perfect.
I know when we are heading to the pool I just grab random boxes of whatever is almost empty from the pantry and then I don't have to buy ridiculously priced junk food from the concession stand. We love our Benton's Vanilla Wafer cookies, Savoritz cheese crackers, and Clancy's Pretzels just to name a few!

Tango Sketch: Ernesto
"Eddy, life's too short, man." Ernesto laid his glasses on the desk and rested the side of his head on his right palm, looking out the window.
"Too short."
He took in a breath as Eddy nattered a reply. This was the second gig in a month that Ernesto had gotten for Eddy y Los Locos to which the band had arrived late. This time, Eddy explained, the Express Passenger broke down. The Express Passenger was an aging Chevrolet van, quite used, from Eddy's cousin Lester Bedoya in Long Island City, which the band's rising promise had allowed them to buy. They had removed all the seats in order to carry the band's equipment, Eddy at the wheel. The other musicians, for whom there was no room in the van, would arrive by subway. The previous excuse, a month before, was that the Siena had broken down. The Siena was an even older Toyota vehicle that the band had named El Barco de Los Locos, also purchased from Lester. It too had no seats.
At least on this second occasion, just the night before, the band had arrived, although an hour late. The first time, the band had not shown up at all, and Eddy had actually traded blows with the club owner the next day, on a Staten Island street corner, who had insulted him for being Puerto Rican. This time, the owner of the restaurant/bar in Brooklyn, a friend of Ernesto's father from Argentina, shorted the band on its money because of their tardiness—"I had to do bird whistles, Eddy!"—and the other guys in the band escorted Eddy out of the place after the gig, so that he wouldn't threaten the Argentine as well.
The musicians in the band were terrific, Eddy himself a timbales player of real note even though he was only 19. But he had taken over the management of the band as well, from Joe Corteza, the pianist who had his head on straight, had two kids, no drug issues, and could organize the band well enough to get them to gigs on time. Eddy had recently fired Joe, jealous of the band's dependence upon the older man's more steady demeanor, and the fortunes of Eddy y Los Locos were now waning.
During Eddy's explanation, Ernesto surveyed West 23rd Street and the buildings across the way. His small talent-booking office was on the fourth floor of an old factory building now filled with art galleries, like almost all the buildings on this stretch of 23rd. It was now a very posh and self-important neighborhood. Comely, aggressively young, artfully dressed women walked around everywhere, a daily excitement for the 26 year-old Ernesto. The fashionable bohemian look of the many gallery visitors belied the clear poverty of the occasional artist seen sneaking around. The High Line was just a block away, and it symbolized for Ernesto the neighborhood's change. Now The High Line was charming, safe and vernal, the talk of touristic Manhattan. He remembered it from his childhood as a heroin-beset disgrace, thirty feet up.
Eddy's rambling litany of excuses caused Ernesto's mind to wander, and he had a sudden, affectionate recollection.
As a small child 20 years ago, he had often visited this same building, which had a different purpose then. His father Cacho Goyeneche was the daytime shop foreman of a Post Office processing plant on the fourth floor. Little Ernesto loved the sound of the loose planking when he would walk across the shop floor on weekends, hand in hand with his father, when the machinery was silent. Cacho would have extra paperwork to do, and would bring Ernesto along for company. It was a sound that child and father both enjoyed, especially when Ernesto was challenged by his father to find the squeakiest floor plank of them all. There were thousands of thick planks, all of them many years old, most of them slivered along the edges, thick, warped and poorly painted.
"Che chico, look around. You'll find it." His father would come out of the office now and then, to supervise the search. With so many loose planks, the quest was complicated and, for the boy, serious fun. Ernesto could never be sure which was the loosest. The day Ernesto finally found The Number One Plank, as Cacho called it, Cacho brought him back to the office, sat him down across the desk, and brought an envelope from a desk drawer. Ernesto tore it open and found a paper sticker with an illustration of The Virgin Mary on it, like the ones they gave out to the best students every Friday at Saint Edmund's School in Queens, where Ernesto was in the first grade. The Virgin smiled, looking down dreamily from a swirling cloud. There were also two dollars in the envelope.
"You deserve it, hijo."
Ernesto ran around the desk and hugged his father. He pocketed the two dollars and told Cacho that he would stick the sticker onto his bedroom mirror. Ernesto still had the mirror, in his own apartment. While The Virgin Mary was badly faded, and parts of the paper had fallen away at the edges, She still held a kind of floating, deteriorated court over Ernesto's bedroom.
During the week, millions of pieces of paper, envelopes, letters, personal packages, messages from home, messages to home, greeting cards, birthdays cards and every other sort of mailed item swirled, were processed and flew through all the Post Office machinery, Monday through Friday. They were eventually brought together in neat, paper-banded groupings that were then dumped into large canvas mailing bags. The noise in the shop made speech almost impossible. There was such a clattering metronomic racket everywhere that, of course, Ernesto could not actually hear the squeak of The Number One Plank when he visited during the week. But this was another order of thrilling excitement for the boy. Even in such chaos, his hand held tightly by his father so that he would not wander toward the dangerous machinery, he could feel the press of the loose plank against the bottom of his shoe and, so, knew that it was squeaking. The sound itself was a secret…knowable, the little boy thought, only to his father and himself. Ernesto had often thought since then that no memory could be so pedestrian, yet so deeply evocative of the feelings he had for his father.
His father, whom he loved for the way he danced and, especially, the way he dressed when he danced—the perfectly ironed white dress-shirt, the jet-black silk necktie and just as black double-breasted suit, the black suede dance shoes with suede soles, his straight black hair laid flat against his skull with shiny Pomade—was Ernesto's connection to his aunts, uncles and cousins back in Buenos Aires. He was the man who had begun Ernesto's journey toward becoming a stellar asador, noted especially for his rosemary lamb, who gave Ernesto more than a dozen recipes for chimichurri, the best being the one that contained cilantro and therefore was "no chimichurri at all, hijo," because no such vegetable was grown in all of Argentina. His father was the first to teach Ernesto to dance tango, showing him how to essay multiple agujas, amagues and boleos with rough, legible grace. Cacho was noted especially by the few actual professional tangueros in New York for his milonguero abilities. This rare accolade, in 1993 when the boy was 8 years old and attending his first summer milongas in a patio behind an apartment house in Queens, made Ernesto feel singularly honored as his father led him through the dance. Cacho…Ernesto's father, who died in Buenos Aires while visiting a dying cousin, when Ernesto was nine.
Recalling this, Ernesto felt his eyes turning to liquid. Eddy didn't notice, and kept talking.
The cousin was Roberto Goyeneche, and Ernesto's father had at least been able to visit this cherished, famous relative—one of the greatest ever singers of Argentine tango—before Roberto died in 1994. Roberto was followed quickly by Cacho himself, who had a heart attack the day after the singer's funeral. The last memory that Ernesto had of his father was that of laying his forehead against the side of Cacho's closed coffin, returned to New York City from Buenos Aires. Ernesto's mother Geraldín's right hand patted the back of his head, caressing the boy.
Cacho Goyeneche had often reminisced about his cousin Roberto—known as "Polaco" because of his pale skin and his skinniness—especially when he and Ernesto would listen to the recording Polaco made of the tango "Muchacho", about a little boy who does not yet know the sadness of losing love, or what would come to him when he finally found love.
"Children," his father would say. "They know so little, Ernesto…especially about love." When he learned that Cacho was dead, Ernesto knew that his father had been wrong about that.
A few weeks after the news, Geraldín sat with Ernesto on the couch in their living room. She leaned far forward and pressed the palms of her hands against her eyes. She had an opened letter in her right hand. She lay it on her lap and read from it, a description by her sister-in-law of how Cacho had died. "We were dancing a tango, in Uncle Timo's house, for the memory of Polaco. Cacho was always so good at tango. And fifteen minutes later he was gone, too. So alive in one moment…and the next, his soul suddenly vanished. ¡Ay Geraldín…!" His aunt had been unable to complete the sentence. Ernesto laid his head against his mother's as she crumpled a corner of the letter. He wished to run from this duty. There should be no need for it. He wished his father alive, to take his wife into his arms, to dance.
A priest eulogized Cacho in Saint Edmund's parish church. Ernesto himself spoke at the funeral, but could not finish. Now, years later, still looking out his office window, still muttering imprecations at Eddy y Los Locos, Ernesto recalled a visit to their house by Polaco himself, on tour from Argentina, and a musician friend. This was the man who had written Cacho's favorite song, an immortal tango about his own father's death entitled "Adios Nonino". The little boy, five years old at the time, was stunned by his father's surprised, noisy amazement when the other musician came in the front door of the house behind the celebratory, much-welcomed Polaco.
"Maestro Astor," Cacho whispered, shaking his head and taking Astor into his arms. "Welcome!" He turned toward Ernesto. "¡Chico! ¡Imagináte! Astor Piazzolla!"
Cacho had to explain to the boy who Astor was, and when Polaco and Astor stayed for lunch—spaghetti al limón y crema, a salad of tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and sweet basil, salted, peppered and sprinkled with olive oil, and a great large loaf of Italian bread that they all broke up with their hands—Astor asked that the child sit next to him. He accepted a hunk of bread with a large clod of butter on it that Ernesto had constructed for him. Polaco and Astor both complimented Geraldín's rustic cooking, especially the quality of freshness of her home-grown tomatoes, which, in Astor's words, "leant music to this salad, señora." Later in the afternoon, Cacho described that particular Saturday as the most important day in his life. "Except, of course, the day you were born, chico," his father hurried to say to the un-offended, equally happy Ernesto.
Once he was able to get Eddy off the phone, Ernesto sat silently as he recalled his father sitting in his office in the processing plant, on the following Monday afternoon, in a white shirt and tie, looking out the window onto the shop floor. Ernesto and Geraldín were visiting, having ridden into Manhattan on the E train. Ernesto, as always, was amazed by the rush of so many pieces of paper through so much cockeyed machinery.
"Each of those envelopes contains something, no, Ernesto?" Cacho said. "They're like tangos, no? Like Astor's tangos. Each one with some surprise. With a secret, a heart of some kind." He laughed. "Secretos." His thin, dark face broadened with a smile. "Secrets, eh? ¿No te rompen la cabeza? That's like saying in English…like…something like 'Don't they drive your heart crazy?'"
Because of the mystery of it, the boy had always cherished the question, and still did.
Terence Clarke's new book, a story collection titled New York, will be published this year.

WOtM - Rhebokskloof 'Vineyard Selection' 2014 Pinotage
My Wine of the Month for February is Rhebokskloof 'Vineyard Selection' 2014 Pinotage.
It is, I think, the first bottle I've had from this winery which is north-west of Paarl on a road linking the R44 and R44 shortly before they cross.
The property is large, in its own shallow valley with decomposed granite soils similar to those found at Kanonkop and L'Avenir in Stellenbosch, and thus eminently suitable for Pinotage.
And they have now the inimitable Chenin and Pinotage maestro François Naudé (ex L'Avenir) on board as Wine Manager.
Rhebokskloof (referring to the wild reebok deer that used to be common in the valley) has impressive grounds and a maturation cellar that makes a feature from huge rounded sandstone rocks that tower out of the ground by its entrance. The area in front is transformed with shelters and lights to a magical place for weddings and functions.
But back to the wine. I was knocked out when tasting Rhebokskloof 'Vineyard Selection' 2014 Pinotage at the winery's tasting counter and had to buy a bottle.
It has a bold nose which asserts itself with perfumes of black cherries and plums as it's poured and then showing a rich garnet colour in the glass.
This is a statement wine, big rich and powerful, full of black berries, cherries and plums and an underlying it all, very dark chocolate. Very impressive, very drinkable.


I took a quick video of my neighbor talking on the phone to his girlfriend's mother. The mother must have accused her daughter of doing crystal meth because he was screaming into the phone that she doesn't do crystal meth just weed. But to be screaming this outside where everyone can hear you was crazy.
Update: I had to add one more thing because at 8PM last night we heard a couple of big bangs on the door next to us and Ken looked outside and my neighbor who's boyfriend was talking about her in the video was right next to my door with another woman and they were beating the hell out of each other. They ended up on the ground and were just hitting the hell out of each other. Ken says to me and our daughter who was over for dinner that one woman was on top of the other and was hitting her in the face. So I go over to look and she has her on the ground and is choking the crap out of her. So I tell Ken and he goes outside and says, "Ok, you need to break it up. You need to get up and go right now." Only they won't stop so Ken turns to me and our daughter and tells us to call the cops. As soon as he says that they get up and run. LMAO!

Netgear has stepped up its expansion in the region by opening an office and appointing representatives in Qatar. The Qatari operation will be the firm's second in the region, following the opening of its Dubai office in 2006. "We have achieved outstanding success in out Middle East operations so far, registering more than $US1.99m in revenue since we opened our Dubai office only six months ago," said Netgear's Middle East channel sales manager, Ahmad Zeidan. The company chose Qatar for its second office because of the economic growth in the country.

John Westbrook
On November 10, 2020, registered representative John Westbrook consented to sanctions imposed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Department of Enforcement to resolve allegations of participating in private securities transactions without prior disclosure or approval to his member firm.
Westbrook was associated with Center Street Securities, Inc. in Montgomery, Alabama from September 2014 to February 2020. He was also briefly associated with Cape Securities Inc. in McDonough, Georgia from May to June 2020, but is not currently registered at a FINRA member firm.
According to the Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC), Westbrook participated in private securities transactions (PSTs) totaling over $350,000 between October 2016 and May 2017, and receiving $14,013 in commissions, without providing prior notice or obtaining approval from Center Street Securities. Specifically, Westbrook solicited three investors to purchase securities of Future Income Payments, LLC (FIP), a company that claimed to be a structured cash flow investment that purchased pensions at a discount and then sold portions as a "pension stream" to investors. The company promised investors a seven to eight percent return on their investment.
In April 2018, FIP ceased business even though the company owed $300 million in unpaid investor payments. FIP and its owner, Scott A. Kohn, were charged in federal court with conspiracy to engage in mail and wire fraud.
Based on the foregoing, Westbrook violated FINRA Rules 3280 and 2010. Westbrook consented to a five-month suspension from associating from any FINRA member firm and a $5,000 fine.

Data from: Locomotory abilities and habitat of the Cretaceous bird Gansus yumenensis inferred from limb length proportions
Robert L. Nudds, Jessie Atterholt, Xia Wang, H. L. You, Gareth J. Dyke & H.-L. You
Dataset published via Dryad
The relative length proportions of the three bony elements of the pelvic (femur, tibiotarsus and tarsometatarsus) and pectoral (humerus, ulna and manus) limbs of the early Cretaceous bird Gansus yumenensis, a well-represented basal ornithuromorph from China are investigated and compared to those of extant taxa. Ternary plots show that the pectoral limb length proportions of Gansus are most similar to Apodiformes (swifts and hummingbirds), which plot away from all other extant birds. In contrast, the...

Data from: Contrasting dynamics of a mutator allele in asexual populations of differing size
Yevgeniy Raynes, Matthew R. Gazzara & Paul D. Sniegowski
Mutators have been shown to hitchhike in asexual populations when the anticipated beneficial mutation supply rate of the mutator subpopulation, NU_b (for subpopulation of size N and beneficial mutation rate U_b) exceeds that of the wild-type subpopulation. Here, we examine the effect of total population size on mutator dynamics in asexual experimental populations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Although mutators quickly hitchhike to fixation in smaller populations, mutator fixation requires more and more time as population size...

Data from: Evidence for repeated loss of selective constraint in rhodopsin of amblyopsid cavefishes (Teleostei: Amblyopsidae)
Matthew Lance Niemiller, Benjamin Minault Fitzpatrick, Premal Shah, Lars Schmitz & Thomas J. Near
The genetic mechanisms underlying regressive evolution—the degeneration or loss of a derived trait—are largely unknown, particularly for complex structures such as eyes in cave organisms. In several eyeless animals, the visual photoreceptor rhodopsin appeared to retain functional amino-acid sequences. Hypotheses to explain apparent maintenance of function include weak selection for retention of light-sensing abilities and its pleiotropic roles in circadian rhythms and thermotaxis. In contrast, we show that there has been repeated loss of functional...

Targeted impulses are sent via conductive pads producing over 180 perfect contractions per session. Users can actually feel their entire pelvic floor muscles being "lifted" without having to do any voluntary activation. Therefore Innovotherapy improves pelvic floor muscle strength and control, directly targeting a primary cause of stress urinary incontinence.
Pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) occur when the muscles supporting pelvic organs such as the bladder become weak or damaged. This in turn can adversely affect quality of life, as a weak pelvic floor or an inability to properly contract the pelvic floor can often be root causes of urinary incontinence.
Whilst pelvic floor disorders mainly affect women, they can also affect men. Patients may contact you or other healthcare professionals such as GPs, midwives, physiotherapists, urologists, gynaecologists, or incontinence care specialists to ask for help.
INNOVO® has been developed by Atlantic Therapeutics4, a leading innovator in muscle conditioning and strengthening products with a 50-year history of delivering effective, clinically proven restorative health solutions in muscle rehabilitation and conditioning. It also meets the conformity requirements in the Medical Devices Directive (MDD).
Innovotherapy is a non-invasive, safe, and effective form of electrical muscle stimulation. It is clinically proven to improve pelvic floor muscle contraction and diminish urine loss in pelvic floor disorders3. Using an INNOVO® hand-held controller that is attached to a two part wearable garment, Innovotherapy produces highly focused, accurately coordinated, and effective pelvic floor muscle contractions that help rehabilitate the pelvic floor musculature.

In our increasingly secular world, holy texts are at best seen as irrelevant, and at worst as an excuse to incite violence, hatred and division. So what value, if any, can scripture hold for us today? And if our world no longer seems compatible with scripture, is it perhaps because its original purpose has become lost?
Today we see the Quran being used by some to justify war and terrorism, the Torah to deny Palestinians the right to live in the Land of Israel, and the Bible to condemn homosexuality and contraception. The holy texts at the centre of all religious traditions are often employed selectively to underwrite arbitrary and subjective views. They are believed to be divinely ordained; they are claimed to contain eternal truths.
But as Karen Armstrong, a world authority on religious affairs, shows in this fascinating journey through millennia of history, this narrow reading of scripture is a relatively recent phenomenon. For hundreds of years these texts were instead viewed as spiritual tools: scripture was a means for the individual to connect with the divine, to transcend their physical existence, and to experience a higher level of consciousness. Holy texts were seen as fluid and adaptable, rather than a set of binding archaic rules or a 'truth' that has to be 'believed'.
Armstrong argues that only by rediscovering an open engagement with their holy texts will the world's religions be able to curtail arrogance, intolerance and violence. And if scripture is used to engage with the world in more meaningful and compassionate ways, we will find that it still has a great deal to teach us.

I've been interested in copyright, Creative Commons and digital rights for some time now and enjoyed the opportunity to write this Special Report, exploring the ways in which web designers and developers are affected by restrictive and, in some cases, simply paranoid intellectual property policies.
Published by Design In-Flight, April 05. Also available as a PDF.
It might seem logical that you own the designs you create; but it's not always true.
With the advent of the first graphical internet browser came a whole new design discipline – web design – and with it came a new way of getting work. Instead of collating examples of their best work in a book to be carried from interview to interview, designers started to use websites to display their talents. Online portfolios allowed designers to include not just a set of images, but links to the finished sites so that prospective clients could examine code and functionality. Now designers of all ilks can send not a physical portfolio but a simple URI to new employers, and can promote themselves online using their website as their business card.
But the very thing that makes an online portfolio so useful – the ease with which it can be found – is also its biggest drawback, because if you include content which one of your former clients or employers thinks is infringing their copyright, they can quickly and easily find you and take action.
When designer Jason Santa Maria put his portfolio online he wasn't expecting to get a Cease and Desist letter from a former employer citing clauses from his contract and demanding that he remove any references to them, including all images, from his site. Jason had fallen foul of his old Work for Hire contract which transferred ownership of all rights in his designs to the company he worked for. It meant that the only legal way he could use his designs in his portfolio was to obtain express permission from the rights owner, his former employer, or challenge the restriction in court.
"I wasn't entirely aware of the ramifications when I signed," Jason admits. "I was young and inexperienced. Most design shops accept that people will use the work they do in their public portfolios, but because you are now able to have a body of work on your website which can be accessible by anyone at anytime, I think you will see an increase in situations like this. Information is so readily available that you can't assume people aren't looking and, more importantly, aren't taking notice.
Although they govern the transfer of copyright in a work from the creator to another party, Work for Hire agreements are actually a specialised area of employment law (rather than copyright law), and have been used abusively by companies who want to treat designers like employees, but without providing any of the benefits.
If you feel that the contract you are about to sign might be weighted against you, seek independent legal advice – your future employer will have their own lawyers who, generally speaking, are not on your side. It will pay you to understand the details of the contract under which you are expected to work so that you know your exact position before you start negotiating.
Another potentially sticky situation is if you work for a company which has a restrictive contract with its clients, a problem that Cameron Moll came up against. As creative director and lead designer for a web-based site builder application called Array Express, Cameron had to abide by the agreement between his employer and one of their clients, Tupperware.
This agreement, of course, also covered Cameron's portfolio at the time.
Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), either between you and your employer or your employer and their client, can also cause problems.
If you haven't explicitly signed away your rights, then the law comes down on your side quite decisively. In copyright law, the fair use/fair dealing limitations and exceptions are based upon judging whether the use you are making unduly prejudices the legitimate interests of the rights holder and whether you are making a use that is socially beneficial.
One thing you shouldn't do, however, is start to ask for permission to reproduce your designs unless you really have to, i.e. unless you have signed a contract giving away your rights or an NDA which prevents you from discussing your work.
"You don't need to," says Cory, "so any time that you ask permission and you don't need it you're wasting your time and theirs. If we asked permission for all of the things we don't need permission for, like making links to websites, we eventually get into this crazy situation where I have to ask permission before I even email you. Everyone needs to be involved in promulgating good social norms around permission, where you ask permission only when permission is genuinely needed.
If your potential client can give you a good business reason why you should sign over your copyright, then you should negotiate a higher fee for your work.
Cease and Desist letters are not the only tactic used by companies who want to control your work. Increasingly common is the Take Down Notice, an artefact of the World Intellectual Property Organisation's 1996 Internet Treaty which says that ISPs aren't expected to figure out what infringes copyright and what doesn't. Instead, once they are told that there's infringing material on their servers, they have to take that material down. They then have the option of notifying the person whose material has been removed and giving them the chance to assert that the work isn't infringing. If that assertion is made, the ISP notifies the complainant that the material will be put back up unless they file a lawsuit within ten days.
"For a lot of ISPs, all the profit that they'll ever make from a customer is less than the cost of a lawyer sending one letter to them," says Cory, "so in practice what often happens is that stuff just disappears. You ring up your ISP and say 'Why is my stuff offline?' and they say 'Well, Sir, you're not our customer anymore. Go away.' and you never find out what it's about. This is a real problem with Notice and Take Downs because it really tilts the balance in favour of the people who make these kinds of complaints.
So what happens if you get a threatening Cease and Desist letter from a former client or employer asking you to remove work from your portfolio?
If you do feel you need to find a lawyer, you should contact your local bar association, local legal assistance groups or local law school. In the UK, contact the Citizen's Advice Bureau. You can also contact ChillingEffects.org, a website run by the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Harvard, Stanford, Berkeley and other law schools.
Beyond the legalities and the social responsibilities, you also have to have to think about the practicalities of your situation. Even if you have a contract which explicitly protects your rights to your work, can you afford to defend a lawsuit? Is the threat of legal action credible? Only you can weigh the pros and cons of defending your position.
The bottom line is that, unless you have signed away your rights – something you should never do unless you get adequate recompense – the law is on your side, and most threats of legal action are just that. Threats.
Of course, every designer works on personal or community projects where rights clearly lie with the designer and these are a rich source of examples for a portfolio.
So how do you license your own work? Most designers have been educated in a very conservative atmosphere, where the preferred licence – copyright – is an exclusive all rights reserved licence. But over recent years, copyright activists such as Professor Lawrence Lessig have created an alternative system called Creative Commons. This allows users to specify precisely what other people can and can't do with your work, covering areas like attribution, whether commercial use is allowed and how derivative work must be licensed. Although Creative Commons licences seem to fly in the face of traditional copyright, for many designers and developers they have become the de facto standard.
Tantek Çelik, Senior Technologist with Technorati, is a big supporter of Creative Commons licences, which he has used at Technorati and on his own CSS examples.
Dave Shea uses Creative Commons licences for his site, CSS Zen Garden, but is not yet completely convinced that they are flexible enough.
"The CSS Zen Garden," he explains, "is a collaborative gallery where graphic designers style a single, central HTML file any way they wish. Doing so is a creative challenge that allows them to demonstrate both the power of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and their design skills. Once they decide to submit their work, they retain full copyright control over their images, but it's asked that the CSS be licensed under a Creative Commons license.
"The goal was to promote and share CSS, while offering some sort of protection for the design itself through copyrighting the images. What I was trying to avoid was creating a resource where people could re-use others' work without compensation. The problem has been in defining the separation between the design and the CSS that creates the design. The code is seen as part of the final design, the code elements on their own aren't significant or original enough to be copyrighted, but the final work is.
"I thought the easiest way to maintain control would be by retaining the images, which provide style and character that the CSS alone doesn't. In many cases the designs fall apart without the images; but not in all. Some are incredibly similar to the original even without images.
But the sharing debate isn't just about the potential for rip-offs and commercial re-use, it's also about allowing people to learn from your work by tinkering, a point that Professor Lessig makes in his Creative Commons-licensed book, Free Culture, available for free download from his site.
As Cory explains, "There's a fine line [between stealing code and learning by tinkering]. I dare say that everyone who's ever learnt how to write CSS or HTML learnt by nicking bits and pieces of other people's code. It's well understood that that's how we learn – that's why people who want to be classical painters spend years copying famous paintings.
"So you have to ask yourself, if I come up with a way of doing something, should I be able to say 'Well, no one ever gets to use this again…'? What are you really after there? Acknowledgement? What's your goal and is it reasonable? And how would you feel if other people applied that goal to you, especially when you were learning what you were doing?
When it comes to copyright and ownership, what's needed is the ability to discriminate between what are important considerations and what you can let go. A restrictive Work for Hire contract will have an impact beyond your immediate employment so it's worth negotiating fairer terms, but if someone re-uses your work in some small backwater of the web, is it really worth anything more than a polite email asking them to not to?
"You accomplish a lot more," says Cory, "by simply writing to someone and saying 'Y'know, I designed this and I'm glad to see you using it, but I was hoping that you could do XYZ.' If instead I respond by threatening to sue you, it wouldn't do me any good.

Approx 5 miles away is Ashley Wood Golf Club. The course is par 70 and at 6308 yards, is not the longest golf course in Dorset but the last five holes provide a strong challenge for all levels of ability, especially if the wind blows. Regardless of your handicap.
The house was everything we expected. very comfortable and spacious.
Five adults and one 8 month baby. The house is very comfortable and spacious. It was very home from home. The weather was very good and we were able to make good use of the lovely grounds and garden. There are lots of beautiful places to visit but a car is absolutely essential.
We stayed here for a post Christmas break over New Year. There was even a beautifully decorated Christmas tree which added to the homely feel. The grounds were impressively grand and the house itself was nice and cosy.
The location was convenient, with Tescos just a 5 minute drive away, although a car is a must for getting out and about. The house was very comfortable for the six adults and two babies in our group. The wooden cots provided for the little ones were a lovely touch (a lot of places only provide travel cots), and there were also plenty of warm blankets provided to use with them- however only one highchair was provided when we had been told there would be two. The kitchen was well equipped (just missing bin bags!) and the Le Creuset pans were a nice touch. The washing machine was handy, especially with two babies, but an indoor airer to dry the washing on would have been handy.
We had a relaxing break, and the property was lovely, but we all felt it was just missing a few finishing touches to make it feel really special. For the money, it's a shame that towels are not provided; the WiFi connection was very, very poor and didn't work most of the time, which was a shame. We reported this to the property manager and were told that this was as good as it gets, so it's a bit misleading to say the property has WiFi as it effectively doesn't work. An xbox 360 was provided in the lounge but we found that the games supplied weren't compatible with it. The bed downstairs in particular was very uncomfortable, so much so that one couple from our party preferred to sleep on the sofas in the lounge instead! The shower in the twin bedroom upstairs was weak and some of the bathroom floor tiles were cracked, the blinds in this room were also broken, but we managed.
These issues let it down a little, as the house was otherwise finished to a very high standard. A few tweaks would really help to make it feel very special indeed.
Thank you for you comments they are appreciated, as we value our customers comments.
We wish you had mentioned the additional high chair during your stay, and we would have supplied one immediately, the advantage to customers that we live in the estate.
I booked New Farm as part of a booking for all 3 properties in the grounds of Ranmoor for my 50th Birthday as we had a large group of 26. It was perfect to accommodate my large party within the same beautiful grounds. The property was perfect in every way, beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and the location and views were amazing.
The owner was so helpful with making everything so easy to book and for providing so much detail about the local area.
I will certainly be returning with my family and friends who all agreed that the property was perfect in every way.
Excellent accommodation. A real home from home.
It was like a real home from home, very clean and there were lots of places to visit.
My family spent 8 nights in this beautiful 3 bedroom cottage in April 2015. When booking online one can be apprehensive about what you are going to get at the other end but the cottage exceeded all of our expectations. Communication with the owner was great and responsive to all of our needs. She checked on the age of the children and ensured there were age appropriate activities at the home for them to enjoy. This made our stay all the more special.
The home is well maintained and very spacious. We enjoyed feeling like we were in a home away from home. It was great having the kitchen facilities so that we were able to prepare most of our meals while on holidays since for the rest of our trip we would be stuck in hotel rooms with minimal facilities and have to eat out all the time.
We could not ask for more and good value for the money paid.
The accommodation is in the middle of the countryside so a car would be required and there is parking available. It is only a few minutes down the road from the supermarket for supplies and a bit further for the main part of Blandford Forum. About 30 minutes and you are into Poole where there is a larger shopping centre area and other attractions.
Thank you for your hospitality and we will be back if we return to the area and recommend to any of our friends/family looking into options for this area.

Symptoms of PTSD and Drinking in Women Veterans
Even one combat experience puts female veterans at risk for behavioral health problems.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is caused by experiencing shocking, frightening, or dangerous events, according to the National Institute for Mental Health. Obviously, soldiers in combat situations often come face to face with traumatic and violent situations — including witnessing deaths and injuries and fearing for their own lives — that raise the risk of short-term or chronic PTSD.
Of course, not every military veteran develops the condition, which is marked by symptoms such as anxiety and depression, feeling emotionally numb or full of rage, and seemingly re-experiencing traumas through intrusive memories and dreams. But PTSD is a significant problem for many former soldiers and, without treatment, it can negatively impact all areas of life, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs National Center for PTSD.

Researchers have long linked combat exposure to PTSD in male veterans. However, despite the fact about 10 percent of U.S. soldiers deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan were women, the consequences of their exposure to combat haven't received as much investigation — until now. A recent large-scale study of women vets revealed exposure to combat significantly raises the odds of PTSD and the related problem of alcohol abuse.
Research sponsored by the National Institute on Drug Abuse looked at the service experiences of 42,397 active duty, National Guard, and reservist women soldiers who served in Afghanistan or Iraq between 2008 and 2011. The research team analyzed questionnaire data the Department of Defense compiles when all military personnel return from deployment.
The results, published in the Journal of Traumatic Stress, showed women veterans experienced high rates of assaults, injuries, and wounds during their service in combat zones. In all, 20 percent of the female vets said they had been in danger of being killed; 16 percent of the active duty vets and 12 percent of the reservist and National Guard women reported encountering dead bodies or seeing people killed.
The research found, for the first time, a significant relationship between these combat exposures and behavioral health problems. The magnitude of the combat exposure link to PTSD was striking. The women vets who had three or more exposures to combat were almost 21 times more likely to have PTSD than their counterparts who had no combat experiences.
However, it took only one single combat experience to increase the likelihood a female vet would suffer from one or more post-deployment behavioral health problems, according to the researchers. In all, 10 percent of the women vets who were screened for PTSD had symptoms of the condition, and 10 percent were also found to have depression.
What's more, almost one in four of the former female soldiers who had experienced combat were at-risk drinkers, raising the odds of developing alcohol-related problems and alcoholism. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism defines at-risk drinking for women as consuming more than three drinks in one day or seven drinks in one week, or binge drinking.
"Our findings suggest that injuries, assaults, and combat exposures experienced by women during deployment may have an additive, negative effect on their post-deployment behavioral health," said Brandeis University behavioral health scientist Rachel Sayko Adams, PhD, lead author of the study. "Ongoing force wide screening for behavioral health problems should be coupled with development and evaluation of programs to improve the psychological wellbeing of the Armed Forces."
The bottom line, according to the researchers, is that even a single exposure to a traumatic combat-related event should not be overlooked or discounted. Women veterans, their friends, families, and doctors need to be aware of potential consequences of the experience and help female vets get help for signs and symptoms of PTSD, depression, and excessive alcohol use.
The VA National Center for PTSD offers self-help and coping tips for veterans experiencing PTSD symptoms and also provides information on finding a therapist for the condition and seeking help in a crisis.

There are many things I miss about the summer holidays already, like watching the kids play at the splash park, the afternoon strolls to the pond with my family, and eating ice cream almost every day- but if there's one thing I'm looking forward to this September, it's putting the kids to bed early and getting back on track with life!
Let's face it, there was no routine for my family and I during the summer; the kids went to bed whenever they felt tired and woke up when they felt like it.
This month, I have been putting the kids to bed earlier and they are waking up bright and early and feeling more refreshed! As a result, we all have more energy and have been more motivated to conquer our busy days!
There is a lot to keep up with this month since it's the start of back to school. I have been keeping track of all the paper sent home from school by using an accordion style pocket organizer. Using a planner is also a great idea to keep track of all the appointments and other important dates.
The kids love to get involved in helping out as well (for now, anyways!), so their task is to select out a week's worth of clothing on Sundays and to clean up the foyer. They have a designated place to put their backpacks after school, they also hang up their sweaters or coats, and put their shoes on the boot tray.
Summer usually means eating delicious BBQ and ice cream almost every day. To help your body feel better and lighter, drink a glass of warm lemon water every morning before breakfast.
To take it one step further, use a detox tea such as TeDivina Original which is made from these 12 essential organic herbs: Persimmon Leaves, Holy Thistle, Malva Leaves, Marsh, Blessed Thistle, Papaya, Myrrh, Chamomile, Ginger, Cranberry, Siberian Chaga, Ganoderma, and Fiber.
Check out this Instagram page for more information!
Taking care of your body is essential; with proper exercise and and a well balanced diet, you will have more energy to get things done and productivity will increase!
You don't have to allocate a lot of time for exercise, even a few minutes of skipping rope will get your heart rate up and have you feeling more energized!
Do something you enjoy whenever you can, whether it be reading a book, taking a bath, or having a coffee date with a good friend.
I know that things can get really busy sometimes, but that doesn't mean you can't squeeze in a few minutes for yourself- trust me, the more happier you are, the more positive your attitude will be, and the further you will get in life!
**This is a sponsored post, however all opinions expressed are purely my own.
I need to do more of 3 and 5. Am pretty bad in the self care side of things…but making the effort now as it is so important!
Lovely! You're tips are ljke the perfect way to get back on track.
I thought i was the only one that needed getting back on track. The right books always inspire me and help me refocus.
Since I am working, even during vacation, I make sure the girls sleep by 10, despite their protests. If I don't stick to a routine, I feel very lost… lovely article!
Lovely post! I like how your routine includes self care and me time as we all tend to ignore that section.
Love these ideas mA! Esp the selfcare 🙂 and omg I need that organizer for my sons artwork and stuff from school cuz it's so hard to keep up!
ah I absolutely love these tips. I need to do focus on #2 and #5….. and totally agree about summer, there's been days out and stuff where we have mostly eaten junk food from takeaways (would have a picnic in the park with our favourite greasy chicken and chips!).

Davenport City Council, School Board work on communication
by: Grace Runkel
Davenport's School Board members and aldermen say they need to work on three things: communication, collaboration and their vision for the future.
School Board President Ralph Johanson said it's an issue that's come up before.
"One organization will do something that actually affects the other organization and neither one knew they were actually working on these issues," Johanson said.
Most recently it happened when the superintendent announced his recommendation to close a school.
"It caught the aldermen off guard," Johanson said. "They were unaware of that."
There's no set of guidelines for how the two groups should work together. Multiple city council members emphasized no group has authority over the other.
"We are two distinct organizations and many people in the public don't understand that they are two separate boards, two separate budgets, two separate entities," said Davenport Mayor Frank Klipsch. "So we really don't have the authority to make one or the other do what the other one wants."
While the board and council have their own strategic plans, Klipsch said he hopes they can find ways to be more efficient in the areas where they overlap.
"It's a matter of how do we best come together to come up with the best answer for everybody," he said.
