Throwing an authentic Louisiana Crawfish Boil for your friends and family is much easier than you think! Read on for a behind-the-scenes look at our annual crawfish boil tradition, which is our second favorite holiday of the year!
I think that having an annual tradition or event outside of the normal holidays is so important. There's less pressure and less travel, and no gift buying! It's all about fun! For the past 6 years, my husband and I have been throwing a crawfish boil for about 20 of our closest friends. This all started as a celebration for my husband's 25th birthday party. His good friend Brian and I totally pulled off a surprise party for him, having live crawfish flown in from Louisiana Crawfish Company. We decided to throw that first crawfish boil because my husband and a few of his fraternity brothers spent 10 days in New Orleans right after Hurricane Katrina, helping with cleanup efforts. During that time in Louisiana, they fell in love with the local cuisine, and became crawfish fanatics. The crowd at our crawfish boil has changed a bit each year, and now we adults are almost outnumbered by kiddos! But, it's a tradition that makes sure our group of friends still gets together, even though some have moved away and we're all in a very busy phase of life. It's so much fun that one of our friends has declared it his "second most favorite holiday each year," just barely surpassing Thanksgiving.
We live in Missouri, right smack dab in the middle of the country. While I suppose it's an option to drive down to Louisiana to get live crawfish, and then drive back with them, it's not quite worth the time. Lucky for us, we found a company (Louisiana Crawfish Co.) that ships live crawfish overnight. For our party of 20, we've always opted for the 50 Pound Party Pack, which covers the 15 or so adults who will eat the crawfish. The Party Pack includes all the seasoning you need, which is super handy, and some fun extras like beads and bibs.
Each year, we poll our attendees to see if they'll be partaking in crawfish. I think crawfish eaters fall into three categories: 1) fanatics, 2) nibblers and 3) non-eaters (crazy people). We only purchase crawfish for the fanatics because we've learned that nibblers typically only eat a few crawfish, just for the experience. Our first year, we ordered WAY too much. Advice on how many pounds per person to order varies, but for our boils, I typically order 5 pounds per fanatical eater, and don't count the "nibblers" at all. Louisiana Crawfish recommends 3 pounds per person, which seems safe when factoring in both heavy and light eaters. They're the experts, so let's go ahead and say to order 3 pounds per person.
We always schedule our order so that our crawfish arrive on Saturday morning, typically right before noon! This means the crawfish will be harvested, packed and shipped on Friday. Shipping is included for free in your order, and we've never had an issue. When you receive your crawfish, it's important that you remove the bags of live crawfish from the cooler, and dump out any ice and liquids remaining. Then, you give the crawfish a quick rinse to remove any dirt, and return the bags to the cooler along with some fresh ice. About 20 minutes before you're ready to start boiling the crawfish, light up your propane cooker and add a pot of water to start boiling. Louisiana Crawfish includes their seafood boil packets with the party packs, which is what we always use to season the water. They recommend one pound of the seafood boil mix be added to the water for each 15 pounds of crawfish that are boiled, which gives the crawfish a delicious and slightly spicy flavor.
Hose the crawfish off while they remain in bag. Store in empty cooler with ice until ready to boil.
Fill boiling pot with water and seasoning, allow to boil.
When your water begins to boil, add live crawfish to the steamer basket and dunk it into the seasoned water. Allow the water to come back to a boil for about 2 minutes, then turn the burner off. Place the lid on the pot, and allow the crawfish to simmer in the seasoned water for about 20 minutes. At this point, we typically throw in some sliced lemons and onions. After 20 minutes, drain the crawfish and place them in a clean cooler to steam, adding additional cajun seasoning and salt to the cooked crawfish. The crawfish should steam in the cooler for another 20 minutes before being served. While they steam, it's a great time to cook your corn and potatoes in the hot seasoned water.
Remove basket and fill with live crawfish.
Carefully drop basket into boiling water and cover with lid. Return to boil for 2 minutes, then turn heat off and allow to sit for about 20 minutes.
Drain cooked crawfish and dump into empty cooler. Add more seasoning if desired. Close lid and allow to steam for another 20 minutes.
Dump steamed crawfish on table lined with plastic tablecloth. Eat!
In my opinion, the perfect sides for a crawfish boil are those that can be thrown right in the pot! After your crawfish has been boiled, you have some tasty, well seasoned water that can be used to cook any variety of vegetables. We typically buy corn on the cob and b-sized (small) red potatoes. I usually ask everyone to bring an appetizer or dessert to share. If you're lacking nspiration, I'd recommend checking out this page for additional recipes perfect for your boil.
Sometimes cleaning up after larger parties can be a drag! Not so with a crawfish boil. Cover a table or two with vinyl or disposable plastic tablecloths. If windy, you may need to tape the tablecloths down. If you forget tape like we did this year, just find something heavy to anchor them (like a 6-pack of beer!) Dump the drained and steamed crawfish and any boiled sides right onto the tablecloth, and let your guests gather around to pick. It's a good idea to have a few seasoned pros who are ready to help newbies learn how to pick the meat out of the crawfish, they can beef up on their crawfish picking skills by watching this video.
Keep several rolls of paper towels around the table to allow your guests to wipe their hands frequently, and a trash can on both ends of each table to throw discards. When you're all out of crawdaddies, simply gather up your plastic tablecloth and pitch it in the trash can! It doesn't get any easier than that!
Rinse the live crawfish and store on ice until ready.
Place your stainless steel boiling pot on propane stand. Fill with water and heat to boiling.
Add 1 pound of seafood boil powder to boiling water, one lemon and one onion. Finally, add about 15 pounds of the crawfish. Return to boil, then allow to boil for about 2 minutes.
Turn the heat source off, place lid on pot, and allow to sit for 20 minutes.
Drain the crawfish and transfer to a clean cooler to steam, with lid on, for another 20 minutes.
Repeat this process until all crawfish are cooked and in steamer.
Add potatoes to remaining water, allow to boil for about 15 minutes. Add corn until heated through. Drain and serve with crawfish.
Please note that Louisiana Crawfish provided our live crawfish for this year's boil, and we have used them in previous years. I was not otherwise compensated for this post, and all opinions are mine alone, as always.
I have always wanted to have a crawfish boil, looks like so much fun and so good! I know my family would love it!
It's always a blast, thanks Anna!
What a fun tutorial, this looks great!
How fun is this?! I have always wanted to do this but wasn't sure where to start. Now I have no excuse. This looks great!
Thanks Deseree! It is really SO easy and a blast. The kiddos get into it, too.
I regret not taking advantage of the crawfish boils when I lived in Houston.
This looks so good and fun, i hope you enjoyed cooking too.
Thanks Marcelle! We definitely enjoyed it this year! It's a great annual tradition to have here in the Midwest! 🙂 We will be in Louisiana in February and excited to get some crawfish while there!
Oh girl! You gotta purge those crawfish in salt water to get em clean. Otherwise you're just eating mudbugs!
Hi there! Thanks for the tip! We've always followed the instructions provided by the company and purged them in running tap water, have been doing this for over 5 years and no noticeable taste difference from what we've had down in LA! We'll give it a try next year.
I'm from Louisiana and crawfish boils are a lot of fun! Great time for family and friends!
But one thing you might want to do before you boil is purge your crawfish in salt water using non iodized salt……the purging will clean the crawfish on the inside 🙂 ….also if you use a stick of real butter in the pot makes them tasty and easier to peel…..
Laissez les bons temps rouler!!!!!
We'll have to try the salt tip! We typically follow the instructions from the crawfish company, no complaints! Love the idea of adding butter, that can only make it better.

Here's a little proof that spring really is here: my dogwood is blooming.
That might not seem like a big deal to those of you whose dogwoods put on an abundant display every year. My dogwood blooms only sparsely and sporadically. That it has chosen to bloom this year, I will take as a sign of good things to come!
It's supposed to be in the high 70s today, with lots of sunshine. That's what I think of as perfect weather.

I have my SB3 set up to display the clock when logged into SqueezeNetwork and then powered off.
Is there any setting to allow the SB3 do the same, when not logged into SqueezeNetwork? I want the SB3 to display the clock when I hit the power-off button on the remote. Am I overlooking this setting somewhere?
> power-off button on the remote.
setting, btw). Go to the player's settings page to configure screensavers.
... but don't forget that this will only work if you have a local slimserver running and your SB is connected to it (the SB has no clock of its own).


So you have already implemented each element from the basic security checklist, such as hiding your login screen, not using Admin for your user name, limit login attempts, and so forth. You can find countless articles on basic WordPress security on the internet. The following additional steps may not be as well known but can secure your website to the next level if activated on your WordPress site.
About 2 years ago, I was rushing to create a fresh new WP install. During installation, I was asked a question which I am very familar with, what is the login User Name? Being distracted with something, I mistakely inserted the admin email address for the new website.
I caught this error and was about to change the User Name when the thought occurred to me, why not just keep it? Who would think that a User Name was an actual email address? Besides, this email address was 15 characters long, which in partnership with a strong password, would create a difficult combination to crack, and it would only be a slight inconvenience for the client to type a few more characters.
Later I discovered that some Professional WordPress builders actually recommended using an email address as the User Name.
If you are the only one who requires access to the WordPress login screen, such as a personal blog or a sole proprietor business, then this tip will totally eliminate anyone from attempting to gain entry to your login screen. Only your IP address will be allowed to login, all other IP's will be blocked by the .htaccess file.
FTP (Filezilla or Cyberduck) to download and upload the file on your server.
Or File Manager within your CPanel to download and upload the file on your server.
A text editor (Notepad, TextEdit, Notepad++, Coda, Atom, VS Code, etc.) to edit the .htaccess file.
1) Download the .htaccess file.
2) Open this file in your text editor. Save a backup copy of the .htaccess file just in case something goes wrong.
3) Embed the following code at the bottom where there is room.
4) Save your edited .htaccess file.
5) Upload back to your server.
6) Refresh your browser and access your login page.
Caution: if you take your laptop to Starbucks, you will be blocked.
Normally, when someone uses the incorrect user name or password, WordPress will display what was amiss.
You are already giving the hacker hints of what was wrong and you certainly don't want to give any unauthorized person tips to help them hack your WordPress dashboard. To modify the error message to read something other then Password or Username incorrect, you need to modify the functions.php file.
Where is the functions.php file?
A text editor (Notepad, TextEdit, Notepad++, Coda, Atom, VS Code, etc.) to edit the functions.php file.
1) Download the functions.php file.
2) Open this file in your text editor. Save a backup copy of the functions.php file just in case something goes wrong.
4) Save your edited functions.php file.
If your website has multiple users, an audit of all your users should be performed.
This is something that is often overlooked, but very crucial as someone could be sneaking in from within your own organization.
Or worst yet a former user leaves your business or organization and takes their login information with them.
Does each user still have a need to access your site.
Are there any users who have left?
Are any current users not active with editing anymore?
These are just some of the key questions that you need to survey.
If you are not sure what the current user role capabilities are, the WordPress Codex breaks it down for you. WordPress Roles and Capabilities.
Making sure only those who have a need are listed as a user and have the correct role assigned, can close this backdoor.
We have all experienced logging into a bank or online payment website, then if we are idle for 10 minutes or so, you will find that the site automatically logged you out, followed by a Timeout message, prompting you to log back into your account.
The purpose of automatic logouts is purely for security reasons. It is to prevent any unauthorized individual from examining your private account information, whether intentional or unintentionally.
This same security measure should also apply to your WordPress security requirements. I am sure every one of us has been guilty of walking away from our computer without logging out to get a snack, visit the restroom, or even just talk story with a co-worker at the water cooler. A person (i.e. janitor, visitor, etc.) just needs a minute or less to gather sensitive information, add themselves as a user, or even worst shut down the website.
How about those who work from home?
I suggest you still implement the automatic log out feature, even though it is only you or your family in the vicinity of your computer. Why?
Do you have guests over?
Do your kid's friends hang out?
Do have a repairman over, things break.
Bottomline: You just went to be secured!
Note: there are other plugins with this same capability, but I did not list them because they have not been updated for 2 years or more.
Here is a quick way to add an automatic logout feature to your WordPress powered website.
These security tips are to supplement your primary security measures already in place.
Hopefully, they can harden your WordPress security to the next level.

Self-study is a central task of accreditation. The self-study process and resulting self-study report are themselves forms of evaluation—both institutional and educational (see Standards 2.5-8). Good evaluation is based upon a simple, systematic, and sustained approach that covers both institutional and educational effectiveness and informs institutional planning.
Schools preparing for comprehensive evaluation visits for reaffirmation of accreditation or for initial accreditation should begin their self-study process by reviewing the Standards of Accreditation adopted by the membership in June 2020 (see also Implementation Procedures), as well as the Policies and Procedures adopted by the membership and Board. Other helpful resources include the Self-Study Handbook.
To assist schools beginning their self-study process, the Commission invites member schools with visits scheduled in the next two years to participate in a self-study workshop. This event is provided at no cost (other than travel and lodging) and covers a wide range of topics associated with the self-study process, the self-study report, the evaluation visit, and subsequent actions taken by the Board of Commissioners. The workshop is also a good opportunity to meet the ATS staff liaisons assigned to member schools to assist them in accreditation matters. Some resources that are covered in this workshop include:

Another Time, Another Place showcases Oscar®-winner Sean Connery in one of his earliest leading roles, in which he displays the commanding presence and suave charm that became his hallmark in countless later films, from the James Bond series to The Hunt For Red October and beyond. Connery plays Mark Trevor, a World War II newsman with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) who's torn between two women. Glamorous Lana Turner (Imitation of Life) is Sara Scott, the American reporter working in England whom he falls for. The two embark on a whirlwind romance - but it's an affair destined for tragedy. Glynis Johns (The Sundowner) portrays Connery's devoted wife, Kay, and when a sudden twist of fate brings the two women together in a small Cornish village, it's an emotional, climactic confrontation for all involved.

TV News Recruitment Crisis: Why Talent Coaching Can Help
One-on-one coaching for on-air talent is what we do at Terry Anzur Coaching Services: recognizing the value of your news team by investing in their growth.
Everyone in TV news is talking about an article from the Knight-Cronkite Newslab that dares to say what industry insiders have known for years: broadcast journalism is suffering from a shortage of qualified candidates for low-paying, high-stress jobs in local television newsrooms.
As author Andrew Heyward has documented, smaller cities and towns are especially hard hit as top candidates from journalism schools bypass the "paying-your-dues" entry level jobs and sign on directly in larger, better-paying markets. Part Two of the Local News Recruitment Crisis lists some possible solutions, including better pay, revitalizing newsroom culture to meet the expectations of a new generation, and more training to ensure that new hires have the opportunity to grow on the job.
That's where talent coaching comes in. I've worked for many forward-thinking companies and news directors who have already realized they can no longer count on an avalanche of qualified, diverse applicants for every job posting. Some stations have chosen to grow their own talent through partnerships with local colleges and universities, rather than depending on a handful of big-name j-schools. Stations that once required previous news experience in a small market are investing in young journalists fresh out of school. The reality is that today's entry-level and mid-career journalists need support to reach their potential as quickly as possible. Newsroom veterans may need to break out of old habits to master new skills.
Heyward quotes his former CBS colleague Marcy McGinnis: "I can't tell you how many MMJs I talk to who say 'No one ever looks at my work.'" That's been my experience as well. Overstressed, overworked journalists often feel overlooked by their multi-tasking managers. They are eager for the constructive, detailed feedback they need to thrive. Bringing in a coach who will focus on the talent development of each individual — rather than a one-size-fits-all approach — can reinforce the good work these journalists are doing while targeting areas of potential growth and strengthening the station's overall news product at the same time.
That's what we do at Terry Anzur Coaching Services. We don't bundle our coaching for on-air talent with expensive audience research or a new set. You might be surprised at how affordable it is to invest in your team with the right coaching package at the right time, either through remote coaching or a transformational station visit. Contact me to discuss your station's needs and goals for talent development and let's get started on your coaching package for 2022!
Pleasure to meet you.

The process is very easy but it demands your fullest attention, because it involves you handling 3 types of sharp devices. So, first remove the labels and bottleneck from your pair of PET. Then, cut the bottles into leaves, just like shown in the images. You can use the little ditches on the bottle, if you have that model of PET, for guideline. Make a small cut with the cutter at the bottom of the bottle. Make as many as you made leaves earlier. Afterward, just turn the leaves of plastic and place them into the small cut at the bottom of the bottle. If this doesn't seem to hold, you can use glue or tape to make them stick. Decorate with paint or pens to give the vases an extra look.
You forgot the step where you paint these and the cute little flowers attached to hide the seams.
The images on most of these craft projects really need to be made larger for people with slightly impaired eyesight.

Where have you put your Motostation?
description Where have you put your Motostation?
Haven't installed my Motostation yet, I don't want to have it in a tankbag since I don't use that very often, so I want it installed on the bike somewhere.
I don't have bluesonic/motostation yet but I had it demoed by the supplier. Seems to work fine with my Garmin 550 and Nokia 5500. The motostation will fit under the seat of my BMW F650GS twin. I plan to power the motostation from the power cable that runs to the power outlet on the fake tank cover. I already power the Garmin 550 that way. Advantage being that the power shuts down shortly after the ignition is turned off so none of devices will drain the battery.
description Re: Where have you put your Motostation?
I was out riding about 1000km this weekend with my wife, since I haven't got my Zumo 660 yet I used the Nuvi 765t from the car, mounted it and the Motostation temporary just next to front instrument gauge and powered it from the power outlet, it works fine, but it is a bit annoying that the power cuts out for a second when you start the bike, so the Motostation reboots everytime.
I think i will power it directly from the battery via a fuse and a switch, that way you can start all the stuff up before you turn the ignition, since it takes a while for everything to boot up, also that way you don't loose the power if you take a brake.
The battery will last for several day even if you let the GPS and Motostation on, but I will use the switch to turn it of during the nights, I had this setup on a previous bike and it worked fine.
Now I haven't tested it, but to mount the Motostation under the seat might not be the best place since you have the seat and your body in the way, on the other hand, I had bluetooth dongles mounted under the seat on a previous bike and those worked very well so it might work, but try it before you mount it permanently and let us know how it works out.
I am taking note of your good suggestions for powering the units. For location of the Motostation, the problem is that it is rated environmentally to only IP54 (not waterproof), not IPx7 like the GPS. Therefore, it needs a protected location, e.g. under the seat and not on the handle bar.
Why are you connecting the Zumo to Audio In rather than Nav In on the Motostation? How is your mobile phone currently connected to the Bluesonic system?
Two reasons, I get only sound intermittantly if I connect it to Nav in, havent reported this issue to support yet and since Music and Nav commands are mixed in the same output from Zumo I cant have it prioritized above the Intercom, in that case I cant hear the intercom if music is playing.

SER-UW Native Plant Nursery Improvements
Estimated Amount to be requested from the CSF: $78,051
Project Title: SER-UW Nursery Improvements
Summary of project proposal:
The SER-UW Nursery has worked for the past year to expand our reach from a holding space for native species to a fully functioning native plant nursery, providing plants for student-run projects and increasing our capacity to be an educational hub for horticulture and botany on campus. We have had many successes over the last year including constructing a hoop house to expand our production capacity, hosting two public plant sales, and creating relationships and partnerships with on campus groups and classes. Looking ahead, we are eager to perfect our system, increase our presence and partnerships on campus, and provide more native plants for student projects.
We provide plants for two classes on campus: Restoration of North American Ecosystems (ESRM 473) and Senior Restoration Capstone (ESRM 462-464). Collectively, we supply approximately one thousand native plants to these courses. Plants grown on campus by students are sold or given to student-based projects, increasing overall campus sustainability. We have developed a relationship with the UW Grounds team with the long term goal of fulfilling the majority of their native plant needs.
In order to meet our goals for next year, we see two areas for improvement that will increase the effectiveness of the Nursery: curriculum development and plant propagation expertise development. We would like to fund two Research Assistant (RA) positions which will allow us fill these gaps by providing tangible curriculum and results to be used in future years to create a more sustainable program. These two positions will create more opportunities to engage students and increase the amount of plants we provide to on-campus projects.
To better provide interactive and engaging horticulture-based education, we would like to fund a RA position to develop curriculum and activities that are tailored to this topic. At the Nursery we host weekly work parties where students can learn how to propagate, transplant, and care for native species. By writing a formalized educational plan and curriculum, we can make these weekly opportunities more refined, structured, and effective for participating students. This position will also be responsible for facilitating work parties and engaging the UW community with this new curriculum, allowing students to increase their knowledge and skill set. Having an RA position focus on this will further the educational mission of the Nursery and help us to reach out to more students.
The second RA will be working on experimental design and implementation on plant propagation topics. Through experiments, this person will determine sustainable methods for fertilizing and irrigating the nursery plants, increasing our commitment to environmentally friendly practices. With these techniques in place, this RA will be able to successfully grow more plants to be used for student led and on-campus restoration projects, leading to a more sustainable campus and increased student involvement. Based on information gathered, this person would create a year long plant propagation and growth timeline for the Nursery with information on when and how to grow each species. The two RA positions are interconnected, with one providing curriculum and facilitation of horticulture activities for students on campus, while the second will develop methods of sustainably growing plants to be used for on-campus projects.
The SER-UW Nursery provides approximately one thousand plants to campus based projects, adding valuable biodiversity to our campus. Instead of plants being supplied by nurseries tens or hundreds of miles away, plants can be taken from the Nursery and used for campus projects, closing the loop on native plant production and installation. With the long-term goal of providing the majority of native plants on campus, we as a University could reduce our carbon footprint while increasing biodiversity and campus partnerships.
Student Leadership & Involvement
The SER-UW Nursery is an entirely student led project with 2-3 graduate students serving as Nursery Managers and two undergraduate interns per quarter. Graduate students manage and provide leadership to this nursery while interns build skills and experience in the environmental field. This core team works together to host weekly work parties that engage interested students in horticulture-based activities ranging from sowing seeds to salvaging native plants. Students of all backgrounds, majors, and interests can come experience this field.
Education, Outreach, & Behavior Change
The SER-UW Nursery strives to involve volunteers in every aspect of the work that we do. We conduct weekly work parties where we prepare potting materials, plant native species, and salvage plants from lands designated for development. Over the past year, we have connected with 236 volunteers, culminating in 866 volunteer hours. Our first RA position will write curriculum to provide consistent, intentional learning opportunities. We will make the curriculum accessible to others, including UW teachers and students, other universities, and to other local environmental non-profits to further our outreach to the wider Seattle community.
Feasibility, Accountability, & Sustainability:
The Nursery is dedicated to helping UW with its goals of sustainability and ecological accountability. Our second RA position will focus on streamlining our fertilization and irrigation systems to become a more sustainable program. Our promise to share our knowledge and curriculum with others will hold us accountable to our peers and partners. The nursery's overall mission is to be a source of native plants for UW students as they work on projects for classes and for research, providing a sustainable resource for them as they improve UW's natural areas.

Thank you so much! Beautifully written! What goodness you share here!


This ongoing section aims to uncover any and all deleted, extended, or alternate scenes from the film. Some are just pure speculation, while others have a basis in drafts of the script (or other sources). And, for some of these scenes, we've been lucky enough to obtain video footage or screenshots.
This is a mock-up artwork for a Special Edition Blu-Ray release. Apart from the 2010 Njutafilms Swedish release, all copies of the Super Mario Bros. movie have been based on the digital print used for the 1993 LaserDisc release. Because of this, the print is non-anamorphic and lacking in image quality - with fans missing image detail and sound quality as a result. We would hope for a new remastered print for the Blu-Ray, as well as being given extras that are already available in releases across other countries and on TV. This would be the most important update to the release list since the original DVD launch, and would bring the quality of the sets and homages forward to a whole new audience.
This Sweden-only release has some vast improvements over the other DVD releases of the film. Firstly it is Anamorphic, meaning you get more image detail as the picture is physically bigger (1024x576 instead of 720x384) as well as better colouration. The image appears to be from a different film source to the US/UK/Italian releases, which feature stronger colours but more dirt on the negative. There is also a section at the end which suffers from interlacing issues (Movement bleeding horizontally) but corrects itself eventually. Mostly a better print, it does only have Stereo sound (To match the other European copies), making the US release the only surround sound release available.
The most recent US release of the film. Compared to the original 2003 DVD release, the tagline and quote has been moved to the bottom of the cover in order to feature the film's logo at the top. Notice the printing error on Dennis Hopper's Koopa on the back cover--this seems to be present in all copies of this version. It is also worth noting that this release does away with the matte/gloss scheme present in all USA releases of the film since 1993. And again, there are no special features to speak of, the disc itself is unchanged from the 2003 release.
The original UK DVD release from Pathe! under their In2Film brand. The cover is completely matte finished, with a more colourful cover art than the US releases. Comes with a 30 second rendition of the original Super Mario theme from the games in the main menu. Other than this, it appears to be identical to the US releases, down to the non-anamorphic format.
A slightly different cut of the film than the usual releases (The ending has been cut so Mario and Luigi never go back to Brooklyn), there is also a brand new artwork of Mario's trademark hat as a logo for the movie as seen on the boxart. The language has been changed to a Stereo mix of Italian dubbing and the video seems to be the same print as the US Disney release but with horrendous interlacing issues with the picture bleeding horizontally. The boxart also includes a Goomba wih Yoshi's head and a Behind The Scenes photo of Luigi playing a SNES. The scan of the boxart seen here is accurate, the boxart really is that badly put together.
Appears to be a Venecian release, which is why the German language is "Tedesco" - a German-centric area of Venice.
The original DVD release from Walt Disney Video. The "matte/gloss" scheme between the background and graphical elements remains the same as with the VHS and LD releases. This is an upgrade from the previous releases despite being non-anamorphic and including no special features.
The original LaserDisc release of the film. The quality is decent, just a tad below the DVD in my book. One interesting thing to watch out for on the back cover--the selection of a third quote unseen on the VHS or DVD versions: "A Bright, Clamorous Extravaganza!"
The original VHS release than many a Mario fan grew up with.
This demo screener VHS was sent to video stores prior to the release of the film on home video. The interesting thing here is that this screener has a short special effects featurette (composed of clips from the longer "Making of Super Mario Bros.") that has not been included in any other video release to this day.


Boo! Delicious, luscious face mask time.
Bentonite Clay is an ancient natural remedy – a mineral rich volcanic ash. It's used both internally, to help heal and detox, and externally to rejuvenate, draw out impurities and clear up acne and skin conditions.
Did you know that many of the toxins in our body are positively charged toxins? Bentonite clay uses a negative ionic charge to attract, capture and absorb these toxins! Pretty cool stuff.
Internally: Drink 1 tbsp diluted in 8 ounces of water once a day to aid detoxing.


As a new and proud associate member and Corporate Sponsor, Schöck Canada Inc. attended the roundtable and the Strategic Committee Planning Session during the first day. It was a fantastic experience to meet well known industry professionals, pre-cast manufacturing representatives and product / service suppliers all across Canada.
CPCI (manufacturing) Members represent 45 production plants throughout the Country. The benefits of precast / prestressed concrete structures are unique and very often the best choice to accelerate schedule in many projects. Fast production, delivery and erection save time, thus money, providing at the same time structural durability and low maintenance and life-time cost effectiveness in today's construction environment.
As a Corporate Member I also had the great opportunity to welcome manufacturers at our booth during the 2 hours Cocktail Reception and discuss with them about their needs and the possible benefits of our ComBAR Glass Fibre Reinforcement System to satisfy their own and their customer's needs. In the company of great professionals, enjoying delicious hors d'oeuvres and exquisite red wine, the evening turned into a nice, relaxing and successful event in a rather familiar and casual atmosphere.
But the evening did not end there. All participants walked to the 1km far Brazilian Restaurant, Carnaval, where we all had the chance to taste 16 different types of meat and several sides accompanied by Argentinian Wine. I am glad that some of us decided to walk back to the hotel and burn some of the thousands of calories ;-).
This one day, I learned a lot about CPCI, their members, their goals and their plans for the future. I networked with key persons in the industry and was able to set up follow-up meetings with them in the near future. Becoming a Member was a very smart decision. I am looking very forward to the next CPCI Summer Meeting in May 2014 in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
I would like to thank the organizing committee for the excellent organization and planning of the meetings. And I encourage everyone to become a Member of CPCI and their subcommittees. CPCI offers a great variety of benefits and an excellent opportunity to network with other professional as well as to expose our products and services to the users.

An igloo is so warm and easy they will replace your favorite winter tent! Igloos are reliable and warmer than a large all weather tent.
Sure, anyone can throw up a winter camping tent. They can also build a Quinzee or snow cave. Setting up large all weather tents, extreme tents, winter tents or snow tents are fine for some conditions, but they are certainly not a winter backpacking tent. They are often heavy and time consuming to set up. Not to mention these tents are often cold, noisy because they flap in the wind and can be pushed down with large amounts of overnight snowfall. Truthfully, even the best winter tent is going to be cold and uncomfortable.
Winter Camping Should be fun. Part of it being fun means it is safe and reasonably comfortable. You don't want to freeze and cause yourself grief. There is also the peacefulness of winter camping in an igloo that cannot be duplicated. There is a visceral component to spending the night in an ancient snow habitat.Not to mention that the experience is unique in that it is very quiet and calm. The wind can be howling and you are safe and secure inside a dome of silence and calm.

Q: How do I implement 'search' in my database? So I have around 6 tables with 6 columns each, like, address,name etc. I have to implement a search feature where the user enters a 'word' and I have to search my entire database(all 6 tables) to find the word, and when the word is found, that particular row should be returned from that table. Any idea how can I do this?

A: Assuming that all six tables have the same column names you can use this query.
SELECT * FROM TABLE1 WHERE
    col1 LIKE '%searchValue%' OR col2 LIKE '%searchValue%' OR
    col3 LIKE '%searchValue%' OR col4 LIKE '%searchValue%' OR
    col4 LIKE '%searchValue%' OR col6 LIKE '%searchValue%'
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM TABLE2 WHERE
    col1 LIKE '%searchValue%' OR col2 LIKE '%searchValue%' OR
    col3 LIKE '%searchValue%' OR col4 LIKE '%searchValue%' OR
    col4 LIKE '%searchValue%' OR col6 LIKE '%searchValue%'
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM TABLE3 WHERE
    col1 LIKE '%searchValue%' OR col2 LIKE '%searchValue%' OR
    col3 LIKE '%searchValue%' OR col4 LIKE '%searchValue%' OR
    col4 LIKE '%searchValue%' OR col6 LIKE '%searchValue%'
 and so on...

If the six tables have different column name you can still use the union all but before you have to rename the column so that every select return the same column name
SELECT col_a as COL1, col_b as COL2, col_c AS COL3, col_d AS COL4, col_e AS COL5, col_f as COL6 FROM TABLE1 WHERE ....
UNION ALL
SELECT col_q as COL1, col_w as COL2, col_e AS COL3, col_r AS COL4, col_t AS COL5, col_y as COL6 FROM TABLE2 WHERE ....
etc..

If neither of the two queries above will work for your purpose you can still use the single queries, doing six different select statements.

A: Use the LIKE clause and wildcards. (Example for php)
'Select * FROM Table_Nam WHERE column_Nam1 LIKE %' . $searchValue . '%'.
    'OR column_Nam2 LIKE %' . $searchValue . '%'.
    'OR column_Nam3 LIKE %' . $searchValue . '%'.
    'OR column_Nam4 LIKE %' . $searchValue . '%'.
    'OR column_Nam5 LIKE %' . $searchValue . '%'.
    'OR column_Nam6 LIKE %' . $searchValue . '%'.;

When Winter Comes, V.A. Shannon
Gosh, such a difficult book to review. I enjoyed it immensely, but it also made me incredibly angry, sad, squeamish, and so glad I was born in recent history.
Its easy to judge from the perspective of a safe, warm home, plenty of food, good trustworthy family and friends. The Indian saying about walking a moon in anothers shoes before judging is a good one to bear in mind. Who knows what we'd do when faced with death?
We get the story from Mrs Jacob Klein, now a well respected person, wife and mother. Her husband Jacob doesn't figure largely in this story, and yet I get the feeling he knows what happened, he saw how harrowing the journey had been for his wife, and his decision right at the start to tell her he would never ask gave her a peace of mind.
She didn't love him when they married, but over the years that respect and trust has grown, and I feel she does love him now, not with a grand passion, but with a depth that is solid, means more to her.
When we first meet her she's one of many, families struggling to survive, parents who don't care or have given up caring, and just use whatever they can to scratch a living, steeped in the alcohol that helps them forget for a bit how hard life is. That's her future, selling her body, unless she takes charge, and when the opportunity comes she grabs it, and runs, out onto the trail with folk hoping for a new life.
Its hard, she's on her own, tagging on to a family by their goodwill, and need for her help. Things go wrong of course, days are long, life is tough but somehow they're getting through. Seeds are sown, moments of distrust, stories embellished, accusations and insinuations run riot, as happens with any large group, but so far they are making progress. Not without losses, but they all expected that.
Then someone comes up with a shortcut, tells some of the others they'll get there ahead of the main group if they take it, they'll get the best opportunities, the best land, the best grazing, be wealthy, and the infamous Donner Party sets out.
That part is true, the story is a fictionalised tale based upon real events, and its harrowing to read in parts.
Of course its never as easy as it seems, the shortcut proves to be anything but, and they fall far behind, the bad weather catches up and we see all this happening through the main characters eyes. Harsh realities bring out the best in some folk and the worst in others, and it makes for some tough reading, but I was gripped by wanting to know how things worked out. Slowly the misfortunes build on and life gets harder and harder. None of them escape unscathed and they have to take some hard decisions over what to do.
Reading it, I was thinking of the unwavering cold, no real shelter, no warm clothes or bedding, no medical supplies, very little food, and the outlook bleak, with no hope of getting through before the hard weather sets in for months. That real last resort, eating the dead so the living can survive, its an awful thought, but then so is letting children starve when bodies are meat that could save them. Hard choice to make and the decision never to speak of it is a good one.
As always though there are those with loud voices who make money from the story, not by telling the truth of course, but by presenting themselves in the best light, and by talking down and blaming those who they've held grudges against for so long.
That's human life, that still happens, never let the truth get in the way of a good story is something we see today in the news all the time. Some things never change, but those lies can decimate anothers life.
Stars: Four, a story I really enjoyed, hard though parts were to read.
I liked the contrast of the seemingly content and well off Mrs Jacob Klein, with the scared, starving waif she began the story as.
I loved the history part of it, that its a real story, though a fictionalised account, and I felt for those poor souls who were part of it.
It gave me much to think about after.

The Turn of Midnight, Minette Walters
Genre: Historical Fiction, General Fiction (adult)
I adored The Last Hours, such a realistic read, I felt I was there with the characters. I've been looking froward to this. Its a very detail dense read, and I did put it aside a couple of time to fully absorb what had been written and think about what transpired.
In this next book we can see how some of the characters have changed, matured in the case of certain younger ones, some of the older ones having the reservations about Lady Anne and what she was doing reassured with her successes.
Develish has come through the plague thanks to Lady Anne's early closing them off to the rest of the country. A hard decision, as was the exclusion period for those that had been out to see what was happening in the rest of the country. One too, of which the priest was certainly not in favour of, the line of the day from Pope Clement was that constant prayers and repentance for sins would stave off the disease. Those who died were not devout enough, full of wickedness, the plague was God's punishment.
Once more Thaddeus is the hero of the hour, and the lads that went out with him in book one returned as men, banding together and seeing Thaddeus as their leader, honouring and respecting his decisions. He listens to them first though before deciding a course of action and they feel as if they've had some input. Its clear to see Lady Anne's influence on him here, its similar to the way she rolls up her sleeves and gets on with jobs alongside her people, not just sits lazily, expecting them t do the work.
Thaddeus and the lads find out just how badly the rest of the country has suffered, especially among the labouring classes, and its clear there is going to be a huge shortfall in those with the knowledge to grow food, look after livestock, all the day to day jobs so essential in life. He and Lady Anne come up with a plan to secure independence for her folk, but its fraught with danger, and their worst fears come true.
They've changed some opinions by their example, Bourne has taken to heart what he learned in Develish, and with Thaddeus advice intends to implement much of it on his own estates. He can see their ideas for the future ring true, that workers more than scribes are needed now, that more profits produced when workers are treated with respect and fairly rather than the whip and fear. I feel much of his changing ideals come from the profit angle but that works and everyone benefits so….
Sadly when Thaddeus and the lads seek to bring about the plan he and Lady Anne have come up with to set their people free, they find they've been nurturing a viper.
Some have come round with kind words and deeds, and seen the example of what can be achieved that way, Bourne and Lady Eleanor for example, but someone else treated with the same kindness is still harbouring thoughts of vengeance, and it brings them into a very dangerous position.
Its a great read, transporting me back in time once more. The characters feel so vivid, and I feel I've got to know Thaddeus and the lads really well. Joshua's dogs play a great part here, hard to think of what might have happened if Thaddeus had his way and they'd been killed. They've proved their worth and loyalty time and again. There were times when I struggled to see how Minette would brings these characters through, how would they slide through the murky waters of the deception they planned.
I'm sure much of the UK did look like this after the plague, it decimated the countryside, leaving orphans, ruined homes, fallow fields and a dearth of workers to rebuild. The few who survived in Blandeford were probably very typical of the time, they were so busy deciding who had more rights to what, to ensuring that everyone received a fair share that they didn't actually achieve anything, didn't work together, didn't do what was needed, just struggled on day to day until Thaddeus and Lady Anne explained what happened at Develish, and set them to forming their own leaders and teams. Its pretty typical of what happens in any disaster, there are a few that get on with things while the majority bicker and decide they aren't being treated equally. Its human nature I guess, but once Thaddeus spoke to them about leadership and what could be done they did seem as if they'd move forward. I'm sure there were many Lords though that didn't share Lady Anne's views who insisted their serfs still pay the full tithes even though there were few people to work the fields, mill the flour, spin the wool, butcher the livestock etc.
For those like the workers of Devilish its a time of opportunity, and I'm really keen to see how book three come about, how the events play out.
Stars: Five, another rich, enticing read, that had me fully absorbed in life after the plague.

Hard Truths, Alex Whitehall
Genre: LGBTQIA, Romance
I thought I'd read books by this author before – but I haven't – so lots of new to me reads to enjoy 😉 I loved this read, heartbreaking at times and sadly, so very,very real.
I loved Isaac and his sister, Sue. They're very close, which is good as his parents are…well, my age but I feel a million miles from them.
They're old fashioned, with sadly outdated views. Mum is desperate for grandchildren to spoil, even though, as Isaac muses, she never wanted to spoil him or Sue. Dad is one of those I'm-head-of-family, my word is Law types, the sort where clear lines are drawn, he's The Man, brings in the dosh, and housework, childcare etc is Not His Province, women's work.
Despite the weird parents Sue and Isaac love them, just hate the way every family occasion leads into nagging about marriage and children.
Desperate one Thanksgiving Sue brings home a date, a fake one, just to shut mum up. He's big, burly, tattooed and ….coloured, and she knows her parents will hate him. She's asked him to be polite but play up the stereotype, so he is guarded about his job, hinting at freelance, letting them think the worst, and true to form they are reasonably polite but Not Happy and make it clear.
Isaac is shocked though when Logan discreetly makes a pass at him…til he finds out the truth. I loved that family meal!
Soon Logan and Isaac are together but each family meal means Logan stays away, and Isaac gets more lectures on finding The One and grandchildren. I felt so sorry for him, for too many families this is life. It shouldn't matter who we love, so long as we're not harming others, parents should just want their kids happy, not set conditions on happiness and love.
Of course the inevitable happens and Logan wants to be with Isaac all the time, not tucked away from his parents like a dirty secret. Its not hard to see the way things would go, although it was stronger than I expected, and once more I kept thinking "this is how life is for so many kids" Awful isn't it? I can't conceive of being that sort of parent, though I can see faint echoes in how my parents would have reacted.
In between Isaac and his family issues there's the deal of Logan and his friends and Isaac and his, both close knit groups who react differently to new people, to pressures and events. I get the feeling Logan is more confident, outgoing, able to accept others where Isaac is a bit like me, diffident, cautious, careful of feelings. There are times when he isn't sure if his friends are pushing him aside, when in fact they're probably just busy, and I can empathise with that think the worst outlook.
When the big Fallout hit its dual pronged for Isaac and I so felt for him, and Logan of course. The way that drama played out, really let emotions flow, let Isaac's thoughts run riot was just perfect for me. I love to wallow in the sad parts, and then feel uplifted when all ends well.
Stars:Five, a very real feeling drama with the perfect HEA.

I Invited Her In, Adele Parks
Genre:Mystery & Thrillers
I enjoy books like this, they challenge me to think "what would I do?" At first I was interested but I did get tired of the way the story was told, via inner thoughts, when for me dialogue based works better, where we have a slip back in time to see events as they happen. Well, see from that persons POV anyway 😉 Later in the story we do get some of these but the start nearly made me give up. Works for some readers that way though, but like me, not all.
I could see where Mel wanted to give a good impression to Abi, everyone is proud of their homes and family and want others to see them at their best, but couldn't see why she didn't simply ask her how long, set a time limit in the visit especially as Ben isn't happy about an open ended stay. Its not like they've been close for the past 17 years, even if they were Bfs at uni. It seemed a bit strange, and then of course I started to put things together, though I wasn't certain.
Its a fun read, very real characters, events that I could see easily working like that in real life. I didn't like Abi, not one bit, but even so hadn't guessed exactly what her angle was. I was shocked by events, thought I liked the ending and then, those last couple of pages….Nope, I didn't want that even though they are not real characters. They felt real to me and I cared about them as if they were real.
Stars:three, I guessed a chunk of the plot, enjoyed the story and was surprised by other parts but I did get tired of some daily trivia that didn't add to the story, felt repetitive.

French statistics office says economy worse than predictions
Paris - The French government's statistics office Insee said on Friday that France's economy would contract in 2009 at least twice as much as the government had predicted.
French GDP will decline by 1.5 per cent in the first quarter of this year, Insee said, followed by a slight improvement to a drop of 0.6 per cent in the second quarter, because of the assumed effect of the stimulus plans initiated by the French and other governments.

The question of photography and faith, however, appears also beyond the everyday. As guest editor of Aperture Magazine #237: Spirituality, published in December 2019, photographer Wolfgang Tillmans explains his choice of subject thus: "I immediately knew that it should be spirituality… because I strongly sense that the political shifts in Western society in the last ten years stem from a lack of meaning in the capitalist world.

Today at work, we had an American Cancer Society balloon release to celebrate and remember those affected by cancer. Sure, I supported the fundraising and sponsored a Relay for Life participant. I bought ten balloons and put my mom's name on five and my dad's name on five. My father, as I've written about before, lost his fight with his throat and lung cancer long ago . My mother, on the other hand, won her battle with breast cancer after extremely early detection and quick action by her doctors and has been cancer free for a little over ten years now. At the release today, there were chairs filled with survivors and there were empty chairs to remember those who did not survive. It's heartbreaking. The number of people, just at this little plant, who have been effected by this awful disease. At times, I'm pretty scared of my own future and wonder just where the cancer will find me. I know that's pretty pessimistic-Paul of me, but it's the truth.
Either way, I'm pretty disappointed with myself for not doing more. There was a lady who spoke who said the American Cancer Society and Relay for Life are her passions. What a wonderful thought! A passion for saving lives. Where was I on that one?
I plan to get more involved. Being on a committee isn't the end of the world. Attending a meeting on a Tuesday night won't kill me. Unfortunatly, cancer might, so I better start getting in good graces with the Lord while I still can. ha.
Reason 852 I know that we are long lost sisters. I have the same thoughts about cancer, its not IF, its when and where. I've already had a couple of little scares, so I get it. Love and miss you!
I work for a non-profit group, and the best thing you can do is donate your time.
They did not pay me to say that.

Home|A Letter from Our President: Kurt Isaacson Reflects on 2022
Published On: December 23rd, 2022Categories: News, Spectrum Corrections
2022 was an interesting year in healthcare. With much of the world finding its footing in the 'new normal,' providers were hard at work continuing to keep clients and patients safe while deciding which pandemic-era policies and practices were here to stay, and which could be discontinued. This was no easy feat, and the entire staff across the Spectrum Health Systems' continuum of care went above and beyond to meet the challenge. It is The Spectrum Way, and to say that I am proud is an understatement.
The role that our staff plays, day in and day out, in delivering quality services and continuing to grow our organization, is commendable. That has never been more apparent, with 2022 seeing many high-profile promotions and appointments across the company.
Amy George returned to Spectrum in January to serve as our Executive Director of Community Relations. In March, not one, not two, but eight senior leaders were promoted to higher level positions to represent the breadth of their responsibilities, including Kristin Nolan, Christopher Petrozzi, Stacy Flanagan, Lisa Blanchard, Cindy Buraczynski, David Nefussy, Earl Warren, and Theresa Amico. A few months later, we were thrilled to announce three more advancements: Jonathan Miller to Chief Information Officer, Mark Orris to Executive Director of Inpatient Services, and Rachel Sasseville to Director of Training. In addition, we were joined by Christina Cronin, Athena Haddon, and Alicia Hashey, three impressive individuals with unique and extensive backgrounds critical to maintaining and expanding our services.
Helping to address addiction for individuals in the correctional system is an important part of our mission, and we were able to expand and extend those efforts twice in 2022. We renewed our contract with the Department of Corrections (DOC) in our home state of Massachusetts where we've provided in-prison treatment for nearly thirty years. Spectrum's contract with Virginia DOC was also re-awarded, expanding our services to eight facilities including two therapeutic community programs, four community corrections alternative programs, one work center program, and one work release program.
The good news does not stop there. The foundation has been laid for several exciting announcements soon to come. We are working hard as we gear up for the opening of a new peer recovery center in Lynn, Massachusetts – a critical service that will benefit the local community and build upon our peer recovery support services in Lawrence, Marlborough, and Worcester. We will also continue to make waves as an innovator on the forefront of accessible treatment options when our mobile addiction treatment van officially hits the road.
At Spectrum, we strongly believe that recovery is for all: every person, every family, every community. To ensure it is accessible for all, we must do everything in our power to increase access to treatment for those who need it. The expansions of our services already in place and those planned for the year ahead are making great strides towards this goal.
Those consistent innovations and improvements would not be possible without you, either. As a supporter of Spectrum Health Systems and the New England Recovery Center, we value your partnership and your contributions.
Thank you for another year of progress,
Kurt A. Isaacson

We started off the week finishing up Dmitri's 2018 Raptor. We installed the bumpers, lights and chase rack the previous week and now it was time to get them all hooked up and running. After a little confusion (Ford doesn't label the wires properly) and a blown fuse from the start, we fixed the issues and got all of the lights hooked up to the first 3 auxiliary switches. We tied the rear red light on the chase rack into his third brake light and the two amber lights into his headlight switch so they are on anytime the lights are on. I'd say everything came out great!
Next up we installed a set of Eibach Lowering springs as well as a BMR cradle lockout kit on Jose's S550 Mustang. Next up is to install a set of Kooks longtube headers and high flow cats!
Next up was Ken's 2007 GT500. Ken came in because he could not pass inspection and was not sure why. He heard we were the best around so he came down here to have us check it out. He was failing for catalytic converter issues but the car only had 22k miles and had factory manifolds and cats. Upon further inspection we realized that the factory cats had been gutted! So we hooked Ken up with a high flow catted Magnaflow x pipe and now she is good to hit the streets and the inspection station!
Next up our new customer Ron brought his newly purchased Lighting in for some upgrades and maintenance. Ron just recently purchased this lighting and found out that we worked on it over 10 years ago for the previous owner. Upon purchasing it he knew exactly where to take it to have the work done! We installed a new air filter, fuel filter, oil change, spark plugs, pulleys and a custom dyno tune. From the look of the graph i'd say she is running nice and healthy!
We also installed a set of Kooks Longtube headers and high flow cats on our friend Joe's S550 Mustang GT as well as new rotors and pads on Basil's 2013 Ford Edge Sport!
