Upon Further Review: Clinton McDonald and Mark Pattison
Raiders.com Staff
On this week's episode of Upon Further Review, defensive tackle Clinton McDonald stops by to talk about his first season in Silver and Black, the state of the Oakland Raiders trio of young defensive lineman, and the hardest part of transitioning from college to the NFL.
He also spoke about what led to the improved play of the team's defense as the season wore on.
In addition to McDonald, former Raiders wide receiver Mark Pattison joins the program to discuss not only his time in Silver and Black, but to also elaborate on his current quest which you have to hear to believe.
Don't leave us after the two interviews though, as everyone's favorite segment "Victory Formation" features Eddie, Travis, and Kyle as they talk about Kyler Murray's decision to play pro football, the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine, and how they feel about Joe Flacco's impending move to the AFC West.
Good times abound; you can check out the full episode, below.
'We just ran out of time': Raiders come up one play short of continuing unbelievable run
'The thing that I love about this team is there was never a doubt of the fight or a doubt of are we going to do this,' Derek Carr said. 'There wasn't any doubt.'

Ryan Brady Completes His Eagle Scout Project
Ryan Brady stands under a shelter at Happy's Farm he recently completed for his Eagle Scout project.
Congratulations to Ryan Brady, who will receive his Eagle Scout award in December at St. John's. Ryan is a member of Troop 443.
For his Eagle Scout project, Ryan built a shelter at Happy's Farm. Rhonda Roseman offers after-school tutoring there, but it's so much more. She has basically transformed the property into a mini Western town — with an educational theme.
"It's a hopping place," Ann says. "It's amazing what all she's done."
This is not Ryan's first time to collaborate with Rhonda. Two years ago, the two worked together to create a display about the Normandy Invasion. Ryan wrote a narrative for that project.
The new shelter is across from a miniature golf area that's being built. Rhonda is having a labyrinth put in behind the shelter, so it will get lots of use. Ryan also helped build a fire pit with granite from Happy's Lake.
"This young man has worked hard," Rhonda says. "It's led from one project to another. He has not only integrated himself but others to develop that pride. These projects keep me going."
Rhonda says it's a diversion from losing her husband in January 2020 to pancreatic cancer.
Ryan also completed a fire pit next to the shelter using granite repurposed from Happy's Lake.
The shelter, she says, is a shady spot for guests to sit and reminisce.
"I modeled the shelter off another one on-site," he says, "but I added a back wall and a concrete floor."
Six Adirondack chairs were repurposed from Happy's Lake, and each have a seal of the services.
On the wall is a list of donors. Quite a few are St. John's members.
"I sent out donation packets to everyone," Ryan says. "Everything over and above the project cost went to Happy's Farms. I didn't do everything, but I was in charge."
Ryan and his fellow Scouts worked on the project every Saturday beginning in November.
"To see it now, based on what it was, is a complete transformation," he says.
Ryan, 16, is a junior at East Rowan High School, where he is a member of the varsity tennis team. He is the son of Eric and Ann Brady and the grandson and Jim and Elizabeth Brady. His older sister, Kristen, will be 21 this month. She's a student at Western Carolina University.

Chemical Education (Active): Learning is not a simple process. How does one perceive information, formulate new knowledge, accommodate that new knowledge with prior knowledge, store and retain that knowledge, retrieve that knowledge, and then utilize it in some useful form? These processes are rarely effortless, perhaps especially so for students, as they are bombarded with new information, and dissimilar types of information, on a nearly daily basis. How do we, as educators, most effectively help these students learn? Much research and discussion, and new teaching approaches, have been devoted to trying to answer this very question. As yet, there are no simple answers, and there are unlikely to be. Learning is complex, and teaching students is complex. How can one best teach a classroom of students when those students favor different learning strategies, have different prior knowledge, and have different mental strengths and weaknesses? Current theories of effective education in STEM fields are centering around student-centered approaches to instruction, for example utilizing active learning, small group work, collaborative projects, flipped and hybrid classrooms, self-determination and metacognitive approaches, and a wide variety of strategies to coax students to be intrinsically motivated.
These approaches, more and more, are being informed by the many recent advances in educational psychology, particularly with regard to the STEM fields: science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. What students perceive, what and how they think, and their resultant feelings and behaviors can be correlated with positive and/or negative educational outcomes. As educators, we are tasked with harnessing and leveraging the positive, beneficial aspects of educational psychology, over the negative, non-beneficial (or even harmful) aspects. Yet, the vast majority of educators are not trained in even the most fundamental aspects of psychology, let alone that pertaining to education. How can we, then, bridge the content and behavioral divides between STEM instruction and educational psychology? The answers to these questions are important as we strive to increase the future prospects and the well-being of our students, and hence of our society as a whole.
My research interests lie in whether a 'positive psychology' approach to teaching will have a positive impact on student success and attitudes. Particular projects will be developed in conjunction with the academic interests of each student. However, each project will revolve around some aspect of chemical education and will include hypothesis development and scientific testing. Topics of particular interest include 1) the effects of affect (attitudes and emotions) on student enthusiasm for learning and understanding chemistry content and concepts, 2) the relationship between student enthusiasm and teaching approaches (e.g. flipped classrooms, active learning, cooperative learning), or 3) whether unconscious biases have a deleterious effect on students' chemical intuition.
Please stop by my office in CP-319 (soon to be CP-027) anytime to discuss potential opportunities in chemical education research and for chemical education researchers.
Nucleic Acid Thermodynamics (Active): My lab studies the biophysical effects of cellular metabolites, potential drug compounds, and small molecule effectors on nucleic acid (DNA and RNA) structure and stability. Our principle experimental tool is temperature-dependent UV-Vis spectroscopy, although we utilize a variety of biochemical techniques, as needed.
RNA Group I Introns (Inactive): My lab has developed novel RNA catalysts, based on autocatalytic RNA group I introns, which can recombine RNA in predetermined ways. Using this technology, our group has sequence-specifically repaired mutations in functional RNA transcripts. Questions that remain with this and other recently developed catalysts include how to develop them for effective cellular activity, how they fold and function, and how they can be exploited for the development of new biotechnologies. Methods used in these projects involve molecular biology (for example, PCR, cloning, site-directed mutagenesis, and gel electrophoresis).

Sydney Morris Vlogs, her second YouTube channel, has over 11.2K followers. She can also be found on TikTok under the moniker '@sydneymorris_,' where she has over 468K followers and 1.2 million likes.
Sydney began gymnastics training when she was quite young. She began competing in local gymnastics events after learning the fundamentals.
She quickly became a member of 'The Coral Girls,' a competitive gymnastics team based in Annapolis, Maryland. Because the sport necessitates lengthy training sessions, all members of this team are homeschooled.
The squad is now coached by professional gymnast Mary Thompson, who is also a writer with the Instagram handle '@travelinghandstands.'
She first competed in the 'Win-Win Gymnastics Meet' in 2010. At the age of six, she competed at level four and won the bars event.
Moving on, she continued to compete in numerous championships under this meet until 2014, eventually reaching level 7. She afterward transferred to 'First State Gymnastics' in Delaware. Then, with an all-around average of 44.200, she quickly qualified for the International Elite.
She is now undergoing level 10 training. Her strength lies in uneven bars, where she has excelled to date. She and two of her 'Coral Girls' companions, Peanut Ours and Hailey Merchant, are the only three members of the squad with two significant bar releases.
Her YouTube success
She started a YouTube channel called 'Sydney the coral girl,' which focuses on her vlogs. It was formed on February 22, 2016 and is currently self-titled. She shares photos from her gymnastics competitions and keeps her admirers up to speed on her daily life.
She not only publishes films from the championships, but she also posts recordings from her training sessions.
The station has a video feature called 'Recital.' In this chapter, she demonstrates some of her other talents, such as her DIY skills, poetry, and makeup skills. She included her mother in a handful of her vlogs, and they make an adorable mother-daughter duo.
She has made a number of prank and challenge videos. She is an art and craft enthusiast who enjoys Christmas decorations and has done countless DIY décor films for her Christmas vlogs.
'Gymnastics Truth or Dare,' '3rd Head Injury,' 'Level 10 Upgrades,' 'And going to Nationals! | YOU FORGOT ME,' 'Head Injury | NO Elite Competition!,' 'Elite Leo Shopping,' and 'IM NOT SHAVING THAT!' are some of her most popular YouTube videos.
Other videos include 'Gymnastics Truth or Dare 3: Pool Edition,' 'BACK IN FIRST CLASS,' and many others. In Mads World was featured in a "Mystery Drink Challenge" video on her YouTube channel.
She also has a second YouTube channel called 'Sydney Morris Vlogs'. It was developed on February 20, 2016. 'QUITTING THE VLOG!', '2 STORY HOTEL ROOM!', 'BEFORE AND AFTER THE MEET!', 'DING DONG DITCH!?', 'MY NEW PET AND HOUSE TOUR!!!', and 'SHOPPING IN NYC!' are some of her most popular YouTube videos. Others include 'SURPRISE TRIP! or SURPRISE GUEST?' and many more.
In terms of Sydney's romantic life, she is still too young to be involved in any kind of relationship. She would undoubtedly find a wonderful lifemate in the future. She is currently single and concentrating on her career.
Similarly, she has avoided any form of rumor or controversy. She has kept a low profile and has not let speculation derail her career.
Without a question, she makes a nice living. Her money could come from her YouTube channels. It has published 400 videos, which have received over 13.4 million views. She does, however, produce three new films per month on average. Her net worth is estimated to be approximately $10,000.

A torockói hímzések erdélyi vászonhímzések.

Csoportosítás

Két csoportjuk ismeretes:

az egyiket a házbelső vászonféléire varrták,
a másikat a testi ruhákra.

Alapanyag, fonal és alkalmazás
Az első csoport hímzései párnavégeken, szalmazsák végén, lepedőkön és rúdravalókon találhatók. Igen vastag, durva szövésű vászonra vastag szőr- vagy pamutfonallal (gyakran két szálat fűzve a tűbe) hímezték, egy időben egyező tárgyféleségeken kétféle technikával: az ínvarrásnak nevezett → laposöltéssel és a "keresztöltésnek" mondott → szálánvarrott öltéssel. A laposöltést igen változatosan alkalmazzák, egy-egy motívum varrásánál több keskeny és szélesebb laposöltéssort varrnak egymás mellé, keskeny laposöltéssort alkalmaznak a díszítőelemek körvonalául, belsejüket pedig → torockói keresztöltéssel vagy egyszer átöltött ráccsal töltik ki. – A → hamis laposöltéssel varrt díszítőelemeket keresztben átfektetett szállal varrják le. Laposöltéssorból alakítják ki a növények szárait is, nemegyszer két párhuzamos keskeny sorból, közüket pedig egyszerű vagy kettős → csomókötéssel töltik ki. Felületkitöltőként jelentkezik a laposöltés mellett a → Margit-öltés is. A hímzőfonal korábban rozsdabarna vagy vörös szőr volt, később vörös és kék pamutfonal. Rendszerint egy színnel varrtak egy darabot, csupán a párnák között vannak kék és fehér pamutegyüttes együttes alkalmazásával készített változatok. Az igen erőteljes, hatásos munkákon alig több mint öt mintát számolhatunk össze, de sokszor ezek is alig térnek el egymástól. Ugyanazok a virágtövek sorakoznak egymás mellett a rúdravalókon, mint amiket a párnavégek nagy hullámindáiba illesztenek. A kis számú mintával dúsan és tömötten borították be az adott vászonfelületet. Egyedül a torockói párnavégeken viszik túl a mintát a párna végéről a párna szárára is; innen ismertek a 8–12 m hosszú rúdravalók is tömött sorban egymás mellett álló hétágú virágtövekkel, nemegyszer két sor erőteljes peremdísszel. A nagy múltú minták a → régi stílusú népművészetet képviselik, kivitelezésük viszont zsúfoltságával egyszer-egyszer a parasztstílusokat (→ új stílusok a népművészetben) idézi. Parasztosnak tekinthető a régi minták egyik-másik átformálása, pl. a gránátalma sziklevele helyébe kismadár feje kerül, a hulláminda végére kígyófej stb. Vaskosabb, parasztosabb hatású lesz a hímzés azáltal is, hogy a szokásos két szál helyett – a szálánvarrottnál – négy szálat fűznek a tűbe. Ennek az igen magas szintű, városias hímzésnek sajátos vonása, hogy csupán egyetlen formájában ismerjük. Nem tudjuk követni alakulásmenetét, kibontakozását, esetleg hanyatlását. Szép számmal ránk maradt emlékanyaga egészében egy elért csúcsot képvisel. A sokszor torockóinak minősített, kevéssé erőteljes, ritkás munkák Torockószentgyörgyről és Aranyosgyéresről valók.
A torockói hímzések második csoportjából legjelentősebb az inghímzés. Vörös, kék vagy fekete gyapjúszállal tömött laposöltéssel varrták finom fehér gyolcsra. A sípujjú ing kézelőjét, azután a "füdzőt" és a "mejrevalót" (→ torockói viselet), melyek már selyemalapra készülnek, a gyerekfőkötőkhöz, övekhez, fátyolszélekhez hasonlóan vörös, fekete vagy többszínű selyemszállal varrták, alkalminak tűnő aprólékos mintáikkal. Jelentősebbek a fekete selyem főkötők fehér pamuthímzésükkel, amelyek a → sárközi főkötők hímzésével tartanak rokonságot. –

Torockói keresztszem
Szabad rajzú hímzések levegős térkitöltésére gyakran használt öltésmód. Megkezdése előtt elő kell ölteni a betöltendő részt határoló forma vonalát. Az előöltés vonalán hosszú, az egész felületet átfogó hamis lapos öltésekkel haladva hálószerű négyzetrácsot kell létrehozni. A létrehozott négyzetrácsban egy négyzet mintegy 5 mm-szer 5 mm-nyi. A hímzést rámán kell végezni, s a hamis lapos öltéseket lazán kell hagyni, nehogy később összehúzódjon alatta az alapanyag. Az egymásra merőleges hamis lapos öltéseket szálszámolás nélküli merőleges keresztszemekkel szükséges rögzíteni az alapanyagra. Ezzel az öltéssel sakktáblaszerűen célszerű haladni úgy, hogy a keresztszemmel át kell fogni az egy-egy négyzetet körvonalazó öltéseket is. Ennek elkészülte után a merőleges keresztszem közepét kisméretű ferde öltéssel (öltéske) szükséges rögzíteni. A rácsozás lehet:
egyszerű (egyirányú ferde öltéssorral leszorított négyzetek),
dupla lefogású rácsozás (kisméretű keresztszemekkel leszorított négyzetek).
A leszorító öltést tanácsos meghúzni kicsit.

Happy Tipsy Tuesday fellow lushes. This week's cocktail is one that is, well, let's be honest I sure fire way to get you drunk. Long Island Ice Tea is a drink that combines almost every major liquor out there all rolled into one cocktail that taste surprisingly like tea…especially considering there isn't any tea in there. I chose to take just a little twist on it.
First let's talk about your home bar. I'm not going to get into the glassware, accompaniments and all that goodness, today I am just talking booze. There comes a time in your life when you transition from making vodka soaked watermelon and jungle juice in your bathtub to actually having people over to entertain and them possible wanting something more than Everclear and Koolaid. That's when you need to start building up your bar.
Now unless you have a lot of money (if so can we be friends :D? ), you are going to need to build it up over time. So first and foremost start with booze you actually really like. Then each paycheck add one bottle to your collection. If it's an alcohol you like and use often I suggest going to a place like Costco to buy large quantities. If it's something you don't use often a smaller bottle will do. A surprising place that is great for booze (not in all locations) is Trader Joe's with their own label brand being quite good!
Vodka: Both Trader Joe's and Costco carry a version under their label and both are good for the price. Quality and price in vodka can range GREATLY. If you are drinking it straight of course then you are going to want a higher quality. Mixing it with a ton of other stuff? Then you can go cheap.
Kamikaze, Cape Cod, Moscow Mule, Cosmopolitan, White Russians, and Vodka Gimlet are a few of the popular uses of vodka.
Vodka cocktails here on the blog are: Peach Moonshine Refresher, Spiked Key Lime Limeade, Peachy Keen Cooler, Strawberry Cherry Muddler , Huckleberry Lemonade Sipper, and Red Velvet Vodka Fizz.
Gin: Not just a great card game but the cornerstone of making a classic martini. Made from juniper berries it does have quite a bit of flavor. People seem to really like it or really not. It comes in four varieties: London Dry, Plymouth, Old Tom, and Genever. Most people start with London Dry with Tanqueray (what I like) , Bombay Sapphire, and Beefeater tend to be the most popular.
Martinis, Pimm's Cup, Gin Fizz, Tom Collins, and a Gin and Tonic are a few of the popular uses of gin.
Tequila: Causing man a regret shots of tequila tend to get people in trouble. Served with lime and salt the tequila shot always sounds good until the next morning. 🙂 Tequila comes from the blue agave and Patron and Jose Cuervo are the two I tend to buy. If you are going to be doing shots I suggest a designated driver and sticking with silver tequila. If you are mixing it with other things you can go for the cheaper gold tequila.
Margaritas, Tequila Sunrise, El Toro Loco, Paloma, and Chimayó cocktail are some of the popular drinks using tequila as well as my Key Lime Sorbet Tequila Cocktail, My version of a Skinny Chick Margarita, and Key Lime Raspberry Margarita.
Pina Colada, Cuba Libre, Dark and Stormy, Daiquiri, Mai-Tai, Mojito, and Planter's Punch are some of the popular drinks using rum.
Whiskey: Now there are tons of different types and people will argue that bourbon needs its own category but for now just go with it. There's Irish whiskey, Scotch whisky, Tennessee whiskey, Bourbon whiskey, Canadian whisky and yes they don't use the e in Canada and Scotland. I obviously use a lot of Jack Daniel's on here for mixing cocktails and I think it's a good option if you are using it for cocktails. I'm not even going to recommend one for sipping. We do buy small local batch bourbon as well as get some from Trader Joe's for use in baking.
Whiskey Sour, Rob Roy, Old Fashioned, Mint Julip, Manhattan, Irish Coffee, and Jack and Coke are some examples of whiskey in cocktails. And of course my Jack and Coke Ice Cream Float Shots.
Orange Flavored Liqueur: I thought about not putting this in but really this is one that gets used in a lot of mixed drinks. You will see Triple Sec called for in a lot of drinks but that is a specific brand which is the cheaper version. Grand Marnier and Cointreau are the ones I lean towards. Grand Marnier is used a lot in baking. I also recently purchased (and used in today's recipe) Patron Citrónge but haven't used it enough to say any real thoughts on it yet.
Side Car, Cosmopolitan, Margaritas, Mai-Tai, Blue Hawaii, and Kamikaze are some cocktails using orange liqueur.

Not only is it a recap of the weeks recipes you can get bonus recipes and a more quirky look into my life…with this weeks email covering my adventure to see the Star Wars Costume traveling display from the Smithsonian and my lunch with the Beeroness.
Pour into a shaker and give one brisk shake.
Pour back into the glass and make sure there is a touch of fizz at the top.
Garnish with raspberries and lemon.
We never restocked our liquor supply after our house was burglarized. One sure sign that the thieves were under 21 was that they wiped out the liquor and video games! Maybe it's time I start rebuilding it so I can join you on Tipsy Tuesday. Sadly, we can't get liquor at Costco or Trader Joe's in Texas.
I couldn't find the raspberry liquer, any suggestions for substitutions? Thanks for your great recipes!
You couldn't find Chambord? That's the most popular raspberry liquor.

It is then necessary to gain their confidence. Try to make generous use of his, to make it clear to the customer's requirements (and not their desire of) sell something) are the first thing. Be frank and daring when it comes to offer a prize or reward in exchange for some time and attention. Let cute intro or posing as a smartass. Start simply by explaining what are the advantages of the product for the customer.
Still I offer you some suggestions for wording but let me back up a few steps and talk to you about the principal means within their reach: direct mail. The method of attack after the initial madness produced by e-mail, advertising experts again focus its attention on direct mail in their quest to find out how to use all possible channels to send messages perfect. In addition, today, companies make use of a level of greater sophistication in selecting the time and the environment that will best serve each product. Dr. Neal Barnard has much to offer in this field. E-mail can be incredibly effective. However, direct mail continues to be the best method of attack. Before writing a sales letter, you will need to do your homework and use part of his time to acquire and analyze lists appropriate clients that will direct his campaign.
Sales letters are the more personalized form of advertising by direct mail. Regardless of the quality, brochures and flyers tend to be impersonal and may end up in the trash can as junk mail. Conversely, a sales letter can refer to every customer making mention of their name and need particular. He has already placed in an advantageous position. The best strategy is to offer solutions aimed directly at the problems and challenges of its clients, both if we're talking about business customer as business to business.


In racing, bikes are just tools. Grant it, required tools, but tools none-the-less. I race mountain bikes, primarily in long races, and that requires very specific training. Typically, my seasons involve lots of big rides that last 4+ hours and sometimes I'll do those off the mountain bike for some variety. Maybe it's a group ride or one that only involves pavement, so I'll bring out the road bike to get those miles in.
Last year I sold off my high end, super light, road racer bike in exchange for what I call The Gerat, or The Tool. I built a bike that met my specific needs for the type of riding that I do. After riding it for a year, I can say with much confidence, it is one awesome bike. Definitely one of my favorite road bikes ever. Here's what I did.
Frame: I wanted to stick with carbon to keep the weight and vibrations to a minimum. I also wanted disc brakes, thru axles and clearance for bigger tires. So I found an open mold carbon cyclocross bike with discs and started there.
Brakes: I had two choices here, cable actuated or hydraulic. Hydraulic brakes are superior in their feel and stopping power, but the systems are expensive, heavy and require bleeding to maintain (a task I hate). Looking for an alternate, I stumbled on the TRP HY/RD brakes, which have a small master cyclinder on the brake caliper itself, that is cable actuated. Perfect! (These brakes are fantastic by the way, highly recommend them).
Wheels: With a 15mm and 12x142mm wheel spacing, it made perfect sense just to use an extra pair of mountain bike wheels I had laying around. I mounted up some 160mm discs and stopping has never been so great. One finger braking at 40mph is no problem. Raining? No big deal. Huge mountain descent? Not a problem. Plus the mountain wheels are super stiff because they are way overkill for the road, meaning that taking this bike offroad isn't a concern. Sometimes I throw on bigger tires and do some dirt and trails. The wheels eat it up.
Touch points: I used pretty standard road gear for a saddle, seatpost and stem, but the bar was carefully picked. I like riding with my hands on the tops of the bar; afterall, I am a mountain biker, so that feels like home. But many road bars have rounded bars which is great, but not the most comfortable in the world. Switching back and forth between mountain and road also left me feeling a bit uneasy with the narrow width of road bars at first. It always feels a bit weird for the first 20 minutes. With all that in mind, I settled on the 3T Ergonova, and I bought the widest one I could find at 46mm. With a flat upper and wide overall position, this bar is amazing.
Group: This was maybe the most out there part of the build. I have loved SRAM's double tap tech and hood shape for years. So I wanted to stick with that, but I also love the simplicity of my mountain bike gearing which is 1x11. A few months before this build, SRAM announced a cyclocross group that was 1x specific, similar to their XX1 mountain group. That definitely peaked my interest (they even announced a road 1x group mid 2015 too, but after I had this built unfortunately). So I looked into what the gearing would look like if I went 1x for this bike. How would it feel to ride 1x on the road? What would I miss?
I settled on a 44t front ring, as that seemed optimal for my climbing needs, while not leaving me too spun out at higher speeds (which I rarely hit around Baltimore). I opted for a 11-32 cassette as SRAM hadn't yet released their 11 speed 11-36 cassette (which I would have preferred. So ultimately, I ended up with a top end (44/11) ability of 38 mph at 120rpm (which is about as fast as I'll pedal before just tucking), and a low end of 44/32 which is the equivalent of a 39/28. Not bad!
Given that I'm not racing road anymore, the cadence jumps don't bother me as much as they may have previously. And really, when I hit a climb before, I would quickly change to my little ring anyway, which would give me a 1x10 experience with slightly smaller jumps in gearing. I wasn't one to go back and forth on the big ring to find the perfect cadence. I will say that I miss the 39/32 I had before. That was pretty awesome range for climbing the super steep stuff at an optimal cadence. But really, I could get the exact gearing back if I went to the 11-36 cassette, but I just haven't seen the need yet.
All in all, the bike build suits me perfectly. It has worked flawlessly, needed 0 maintenance, and I've never flatted on it (wider rim profile helps?). For those of you who want a do it all bike, I would definitely recommend the 1x and CX frame ideas. I've loved it.


You can now officially call this "Exhausted's Book Blog" cause that's my new name. Just got back from yet another business trip (which my poor blog can attest to – it has been sorely neglected), but I intend on finishing this book this week, and will review too.
So far, so good!! It's neat cause the main character of this book, was the character in the very first book that helped "Lachlain" (who chewed and clawed through the ceiling of their Valkyrie prison to get to his mate). Garreth held the "ceiling" to keep it from falling. You know…cause the structure of the ancient house was severely weakened from all of the Valkyrie high pitched shrieking and lightening strikes, and chewing through the ceiling to get out didn't help it. It was practically crumbling all around them.
LOL! Anyway, for those of you who haven't yet read the series, this one's mostly been pretty great, so I do recommend it.
Alright, I gotta get to work (again) – can't wait until tonight to relax with my book.


ROYAL CITY, Wash — A body, believed to be that of a missing hunter from North Bend, has been found, the Grant County Sheriff's office reported.
Thomas Stieg's body was discovered around 9:45 a.m. Wednesday, near Crab Creek, west of Royal City, officials said.
Steig was reported missing by his family Saturday when he failed to return home from his one-day trip, or notify his family, officials said.
While the official cause of death has not been determined, it appears that the person fell. There is no indication of foul play, the Sheriff's office reported.
The body is now in the care of the Grant County Coroner's Office, pending an autopsy; Stieg's family has been notified, officials said.


On May 14, a normal everyday guy named Chris Scott sent a tweet out to his 1,000 or so followers. "Oh hi Becky who refused to kiss me during spin the bottle in 6th grade & now wants to play "FarmVille," looks like tables have f*cking turned," the tweet read, referring to the Facebook-based game that encourages its players to relentlessly invite their friends to join in the fun.
The tweet was retweeted and favourited a couple of times, as many funny tweets are, and then that seemed to be that, the tweet would be forever lost in the infinite Twittersphere. Fast forward a few months, the tweet has been retweeted over 18,000 times, ripped off by hundreds, and Chris, 30, was even accused by a widely followed comedian of stealing the joke from an MTV show called "Guy Code," a program Chris had no idea even existed.
Chris gave Business Insider some insight into what he saw when his seemingly innocuous joke went massively viral.
Like a good Stilton, good tweets mature over time — this is lies, don't quote us. In the case of what will now be called The Becky Tweet, it took 30 days for its popularity began to climb.

Q: Video Chat app on Heroku using Peer js and Node js I'm following this tutorial on https://www.sitepoint.com/webrtc-video-chat-application-peerjs/ to make a video chat app using peer js, node js and trying to host this on HEROKU I have managed to get the client side working (using express) but don't have any idea how the server side will work
The client side server.js for static files:
var express = require('express');
var app = express();

//setting port
var port = process.env.PORT || 8080

app.use(express.static(__dirname));

//routes
app.get("/",function(req, res){

res.render("index");

})

app.listen(port,function(){

console.log("app running")
})

above code is working fine and I can see my index.html via heroku
Other server i.e peer-server.js to get peer information:
var PeerServer = require('peer').PeerServer;
var server = PeerServer({port: 9000, path: '/peerjs'});

I don't have any idea on how to run this code on heroku and get data on script.js
script.js:
$(function(){

  var messages = [];
  var peer_id, name, conn;
  var messages_template = Handlebars.compile($('#messages-template').html());

  var peer = new Peer({
    host: 'localhost',
    port: 9000,
   path: '/peerjs',
    /* debug: 3,
    config: {'iceServers': [
    { url: 'stun:stun1.l.google.com:19302' },
    { url: 'turn:numb.viagenie.ca',
      credential: 'muazkh', username: 'webrtc@live.com' }
    ]}*/
  });

  peer.on('open', function(){
    $('#id').text(peer.id);
  });

They (sitepoint) have step by step guidance on how to deploy it on a local server but not on heroku or something similar
Any help will be greatly appreciated

A: Late answer, but there's a PeerJS server Button for one-click deployment on Heroku:

Making a list of best outdoor smart led bulbs 2019 is a difficult job for sure. The cost versus quality argument is the first thing you deal with. All the same, the specs should be your top priority, ideally.
In this review, we will go into every aspect of these outdoor smart led lights and find out whether it's worth your money.
Remote controlled outdoor dimmable smart led bulbs and non-dimmable smart led bulbs.
You can use your smartphone, amazon alexa, ipad or any other smart device to control the outdoor smart led bulb.
The smart led bulb installs as effortlessly as a standard light bulb and connects very fast to your home Wi-Fi or any other smart device you choose to control it with.
I`ve played around with more than 20 smart light bulb systems over the years and after all that, I determined that the 5 I listed here is the best all around smart LED bulbs.
If I must pick one bulb that is my favourite, I got to go with the Ilumi Outdoor Bluetooth Smart LED.
With Ilumi you can change your lighting color super easily and it also does everything the other smart light bulbs do, and it is also part of a wider product and app-system, that gives you more room for flexibility and creativity than any other smart bulb I have used. It is not the cheapest bulb I used, but its reliable performance and wide usability does make it a good choice for any smart home.
Not everyone wants to drop $50 or more on a led bulb smart light.
The TP-Link bulbs will shed light for a fraction of the price.
The TP-Link Smart LED Light Bulb is a versatile clever little light source.
This is the 60 Watt Equivalent, 2700K Soft White type bulb review.
Outdoor smart led bulb features?
What`s so smart with these outdoor smart led bulbs then? Let`s have a look what they can do.
You can control your lighting from anywhere. You can manage your lights with your tablet or smartphone in no time with the free (Kasa app) or another app depending of the manufacturer, TP – Link uses the Kasa app.
What other tricks does the smart outdoor led light bulb got up its sleeve?
If you don`t feel like using your phone or pad for controlling the outdoor dimmer, then you can try the voice control, you can use your voice to control the bulb when paired with Amazon Alexa.
Well there´s really no complex installation procedure, just screw in the new led smart bulb and wait for it to blink 3 times, and finish the set up by using the TP-Link Kasa app.
Although it's not inexpensive, this outdoor smart led bulb offers a few impressive features for the price!
Want to sync your ilumi smart led light bulb to music?
Bring the music and party to new heights – Yes this bulb can be synced with your music, so you can shake it til the break of dawn.
Best color changing led bulb?
Just use the free ilumi app to sync your led lights to your music from your phone or pad to get synchronized color effects to every beat for amazing outdoor parties. You can choose from 16 million different colors and if that`s not enough, there`s also 2000K to 8000K in white color range. Plus you can add more smart lights for even bigger effects.
Does this smart led bulb work with a tradional light switch?
Yes it does and because each light has a built in clock and battery – it remembers its colors and schedule even when used with a traditional light switch.
Want a weatherproof smart led color bulb?
The ilumi outdoor flood light carries an IP64 rating specifically for use outdoors so you can keep lights on – Rain or shine.
It`s built to withstand snow, thunderstorms, sprinklers and because of that you can place it nearly anywhere outside. And if that was not enough – It also has UV Coating to protect it from the sun. The manufacturer has really thought about everything with this led.
Are you going away and are you worried about the safety of your house? Just switch on the vacation mode and your ilumi led outdoor smart light will turn on and off at random while you are away.
Ilumi outdoor led light is not just a smart bulb; it is a complete smart system. The color-adjustable E26 / E27 base bulbs can remake the look of your home`s exterior in seconds. Multiple app options and device compatibility makes it one of the best overall choices.
The MINGER Sensor Light Bulb has been my choice for led light on installation jobs where the customer wanted something cheap but reliable.
With this led, you get the automatic switch on at dusk and off at dawn. It does not really get any easier than with this led bulb. The led turns on when it gets less than 15Lux and it turns off when there is more than 40Lux. The built in sensor works great and it`s a hazzle free product. You'll install it fast and easy – just simply screw into any standard E26/27 light fixture or socket. No worries with wires or additional motion detection fixtures.
The sensor is not rotable, as in almost all smart bulbs, but that is not a problem. From experience I can tell that the bulb works fine even in outdoor fixtures with bubbly glass, so the sensor is really high quality.
This 12W led bulb is equivalent to a 100 watt incandescent bulb and it`s mercury free too. If you want a bright light this should be your choice. There is also a 7W version available.
Be sure to watch out for knock-off imitations that are popping up as of late.
The Luxon 5w is unique in that sense that it is equipped with LED RADAR SENSOR.
The motion sensor bulb is a radar sensor light bulb, it's much more responsive, sensitive, more penetrating than infrared sensor led. And because of that, the Luxon led light bulb can penetrate: glass, veneer and walls to detect the motion within 19-26ft.
You can install the led in any angle you want- upward, downward, it will still operate perfect because of the built in smart radar.
The led radar bulb can also detect the pets, therefore the radar sensor bulb will turn on when it is detecting any small object that is moving. Plus it has the dusk to dawn sensor.
The packaging is sturdy with the bulb protected well in a plastic mold, so you don`t need to worry for a defective product on arrival.
The entry-level GE Link smart bulb (which can often be found for $20 to $25) gives you the most brightness for your money , it puts out 900 lux and the color is quite warm (3000K Bright White).
The dimmable GE outdoor led bulbs is good option, if you want to dim outdoor lights but don`t want to use a dimmer switch to dim with.
Do you need programmable led lights?
How to program led lights?
It`s easier than it sounds.
One smart thing with these LEDs are the shortcuts you can create.
You can make scenes, shortcuts for example: "Watch a movie" or "Reading in bed" with your phone. You just click on your prefered shortcut and you can make lights dim, brighten, turn on and turn off.
If you don't need a color led and the millions of colors to choose from, then this GE led is a perfect choice.
Do led lights work in cold weather?
Absolutely! And this GE bulb performs well in cold climate.
Do you get below freezing temperatures on numerous nights during winter?
Then you want a led bulb that has a longer life and not a incandescent bulb and another great thing about this GE link smart bulb is that it lasts 22 years with an estimated energy cost of only $1.57 per year.
The advantage of LED is the extra long lifespan and plus they have no problem to light up in very cold temperatures. In fact, LEDs get more efficient as the ambient temperature gets lower.
How to install the GE link led bulb?
With all that specification information out of the way, what do you need to get up and running with these bad boys?
It is also compatible with amazon Echo, smartthings hub or any other zigbee rated device.
Setup your Wink Hub. You can do it easily through the Wink app. Just enter your Wi-Fi information, then automatically send that to your brand new hub and then it will be good to go.
One more important thing to check is that after connecting your Wink Hub, be sure to check for updates. People often forget checking for updates and that can cause problems when trying to pair the bulbs (I learned it the hard way).
Once you got that out of the way, you just add your bulb. Wink has comfortably added a GE Link option to the list of supported lighting options. Just select that and it will walk your through the setup and then you basically screw the bulb in and turn the light on. It will blink 3 times and then you can name it.


A cautionary letter–and the rumored retention of a notorious union-buster–show Northeastern is nervous about adjunct faculty organizing.
Adjuncts, who typically work on a contract basis, are vulnerable to retaliation by university administrations. But Machson-Carter is hopeful that heavy-handed tactics by the university will galvanize, rather than chill, organizing efforts.
What does a research university in Boston have in common with the corporations Pfizer, Cablevision and IBM?
They hire the same union-buster. According to Adjunct Action, a project of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), Northeastern University has retained Jackson Lewis, a law firm used by major corporations to thwart employee organizing efforts. The AFL-CIO calls the New York-based firm "the number one union-buster in America." The move could signal intensified efforts by university administrations to defeat organizing drives among contingent faculty, which have been gaining momentum in several cities.
Adjunct Action has had modest success so far in its efforts to unionize non-tenure-track faculty at private colleges across Boston, which it began this spring. Part-time faculty at Bentley University and Tufts Colleges have already filed for union elections, which will be held this fall. Adjuncts at Northeastern have formed an organizing committee and other schools are well on their way, say union organizers.
Obviously, you have no obligation to speak with a union organizer or to respond to their contact efforts if you do not wish to do so.
We understand these recent efforts to contact our faculty are part of a larger effort, labeled "Adjunct Action," to organize faculty members in Boston and the surrounding area.
… Ultimately, the decision about whether to support SEIU or not is yours. We do want to emphasize that the issue of union representation is of critical importance to every faculty member, including you, as well as to the University as a whole. Therefore, we urge you not to remain uninvolved. However you may feel about this issue, please make your voice count.
Anti-union letters and e-mails are a mainstay of employer efforts to counter employee organizing. According to a 2009 study by Kate Bronfenbrenner, director of labor education research at the Cornell School of Industrial and Labor Relations, employers used this tactic during 7 out of every 10 NLRB-supervised union representation elections between 1999 and 2003. Such communications are legal under the free speech provisions of the National Labor Relations Act, and have been a key component of employer campaigns since the 1970s. But Broffenbrenner's study notes that as the "union avoidance" industry has grown more sophisticated during the past two decades, such actions have been followed with increasing frequency by more punitive tactics such as retaliatory firings, which are illegal. Adjunct Action says that Northeastern's decision to hire Jackson Lewis could presage a more aggressive anti-union campaign.
(Northeastern University confirmed that the memo had been sent to faculty, but did not respond to a request for comment on whether it had retained Jackson Lewis. The law firm also declined to comment).
All of our faculty—tenured, tenure-track and non-tenure track—play critical roles in Northeastern University's success. Over the years, the faculty and the administration have fostered an extremely collaborative relationship built upon mutual respect and trust. We believe this dynamic, which rests upon direct communication, will most effectively allow Northeastern University, our faculty and our students to meet the challenges that lie ahead. We encourage all of our faculty members to work directly with the University on any issues or concerns they may have. We are concerned about the impact that ceding your rights to do so to an outside organization, which is unfamiliar with our culture, will have on our community.
Machson-Carter has another part-time job at UMass Boston, where adjuncts are unionized, that supplements her income and provides health insurance. But she says that for many of her co-workers, the issue of a union "is a quality of life issue." Adjuncts are typically paid by the course, and the average rate is $2,900, according to crowd-sourced figures from the website the Adjunct Project. This amounts to an average hourly wage of $8.90 an hour, with 4 in 5 adjuncts earning less than $20,000 annually. Most lack access to health insurance. At Northeastern, rates per course range from $2,200 for sociology courses to $11,250 for computer sciences courses, according to the crowd-sourced data.
Such salaries have become the rule rather than the exception, with America's non-tenure-track faculty now making up nearly two-thirds of the teaching workforce in higher education. SEIU, which currently represents 15,000 adjuncts nationwide, is intensifying its efforts to unionize them, as are a handful of other non-academic unions.
As I've reported previously, labor's emerging focus on contingent faculty suggests promising new directions for organizing precarious workers. Inspired by successes in Washington, D.C., where SEIU Local 500 now represents a majority of part-time faculty across the metro region, the union has launched campaigns in Boston and Los Angeles with the eventual goal of creating citywide bargaining committees that can represent part-time faculty who juggle multiple jobs on multiple campuses. These efforts, as well as a similar campaign by the United Steelworkers in Pittsburgh, are modeled in part off of the "metro strategy" outlined by labor educator and contingent faculty activist Joe Berry in his book Reclaiming the Ivory Tower. Berry argues that contingent faculty must organize industry-wide to change their own working conditions and combat the corporatization of the university.
While many adjuncts are currently represented by one of three national academic unions, non-academic unions like SEIU and USW are focusing their efforts on private colleges and universities, where part-time faculty are for the most part unorganized at present. Given that there are also substantial legal barriers to collective bargaining by full-time faculty and graduate student workers at private schools, successful campaigns to unionize adjuncts would break new ground.
But the "union avoidance" industry, on which Jackson Lewis literally wrote the book, has excelled at frustrating labor's efforts to make inroads into unorganized industries. For example, the firm has helped block efforts by the United Federation of Teachers to increase unionization in New York City charter schools, according to the union.
One of the ways that Jackson Lewis recruits new clients, notes London School of Economics professor John Logan, is through seminars "stressing that 'militant organizing unions' such as SEIU are targeting firms in hither to union-free sectors of the economy." In These Times sent an undercover reporter to one such seminar held by Jackson Lewis in 2007.
This isn't the first time that a university has retained a union-busting law firm. Reached by e-mail, New York University (NYU) professor of social and cultural analysis Andrew Ross notes that the NYU administration retained both Jackson Lewis and Proskauer Rose during a protracted fight with its Graduate Student Organizing Committee (GSOC), which lost recognition after its contract expired in 2005.
"Under the direct guidance of these legal consultants, the NYU administration followed each page from the union-busting playbook," writes Ross, who is also a co-editor of the anthology The University Against Itself: the NYU Strike and the Future of Academic Labor.
In 2000, GSOC negotiated the first-ever contract between graduate employees and a private university. But a 2004 ruling by the Bush-era National Labor Relations Board reversed an earlier decision and denied graduate students union recognition under the logic that they are students, rather than employees. As Josh Eidelson reported, nothing in the NLRB ruling prevented NYU from continuing to negotiate with the union, but the school decided to withdraw recognition. The university reportedly retained Jackson Lewis when graduate students continued to agitate for renewed negotiations after the contract expired in 2005. A bitter strike in 2006, during which 20 strikers were fired, ended without a contract.
"Who knows how many millions of dollars have been lavished on these firms, simply to prevent graduate employee unions from obtaining a foothold in the private sector?" asks Ross.
"When an institution decides to spend tuition money on anti-union activity they often contradict their own stated values on free association and workers rights—something which students, who are paying enormous tuition bills, don't take kindly to," writes Anne McLeer, director of higher education and research for SEIU Local 500 in Washington, D.C., to In These Times via e-mail. "Plus, they could use that money to better compensate adjuncts." She says that where D.C.-area adjuncts have won unions, institutions have adopted a more collaborative posture.
It's interesting that the university is so focused on majority and minority numbers here. Perhaps it should be more self-reflexive and focus on the even more disturbing majority/minority numbers of its full-time/part-time faculty. Rather than put money toward providing their adjunct instructors with better quality of life (which would result in better quality of learning for its students), the university is instead misappropriating students' tuition money to a law firm that produces faulty logic.
The Aoun administration appears to have made its first significant mistake. As an alum (and adjunct) I shall be watching this situation closely.
There is nothing "collaborative" about the culture at NU, and especially at Global Pathways program. Teachers are chosen not according to their merit but according who likes whom and who is nodding their heads and who speaks up. It is basically "I like you, so you will get courses" policy.
I wish the author had addressed the question of whether organizing is likely to improve the working conditions of adjuncts. It is not clear that this is necessarily so. Adjuncts (sessional or contract instructors) in Canada are mostly unionized but I don't know of any evidence that this has given them any meaningful progress. They are also woefully underpaid, have no job security, and are ineligible for tenure and research support.
Pay barely above minimum wage, with few if any benefits, for jobs that require at least a master's degree, is obscenely low. How many of those paying the increasingly high tuition rates realize some of the profs are minimum wage workers?
Great article, Rebecca! A college that spends all that money trying to destroy a union effort is clearly declaring what matters to them---not teachers with a livable wage but the defense of their obscene profit margins. "Adjunct" was a position created 40 years ago to temporarily deal with a shortage of PhDs: it was never meant to be permanent. But since then, America's schools have grown addicted to the profits and will do virtually anything to keep them as they are. Well, let the struggle begin---because nobody is going to stand up for adjuncts' value but themselves.


Why is our Organic panela so special? Panela is a block of totally unrefined, whole cane juice., made sustainably in Colombia from sugarcane, produced in the same traditional way as it has been for generations. The block is then pulverised into an easy-to-use powder. Because the process does not involve refining and centrifuging, the Panela retains the essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals that are inherently present in the raw sugar cane. The traditional method of production gives it a mild but naturally fruity toffee flavour which is superb for baking and sweetening food and drinks. Use 'weight for weight' in place of refined sugar.
The most convenient way of experiencing the unique Hasslacher's taste, fine 100% cacao flakes. We only use the finest quality Criollo and Trinitario 'Fino de Aroma' beans, producing the most wholesome-tasting and delicious hot chocolate drink around.

You're overflowing with creative energy, Aries (especially with Mars in your sign at the turn of the new year). But the trick is figuring out which ideas are worth investing in and which ones to abandon. In the new year, pledge to settle down with at least one or two goals that will require months (or years!) of effort, not just minutes. You'll slide into 2020 with more than a few wins you never thought possible.
Taureans are notoriously resistant to moving outside of their comfort zones. But as they say, that's where the magic happens. In 2019, you don't have to abandon your tried-and-true traditions, but you should commit to trying something new a few times this year. It can be big or small, but if you allow yourself to feel the discomfort of the unknown, you may stumble onto something you can't believe you ever lived without.
Geminis are the communicators of the zodiac, and it's likely many of you have a few writing or creative ambitions kicking around in your head. But your scattered energy is difficult to harness in the attention economy (so much #hashtag content!), so pick one thing you want to see through to the end. Chances are, your project will evolve, keeping you on your toes (and invested) all year!
You may have learned this year that when you neglect yourself, you end up unable to help anyone else—as every airline ever says: put that oxygen mask on your damn self first! We know that as the zodiac's nurturers, you love to offer support to those in your inner circle. But it's not selfish to make an investment in your own well-being—mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, financial, artistic—before you launch into caretaking mode. If it's what you would do for someone you love, do it for yourself.
You don't have to agree with every naysayer, Leo—in fact, your ability to believe in yourself is one of your greatest strengths. But every now and then, you're going to run into someone who just doesn't buy what you're selling. But instead of popping off (even internally!), make 2019 the year you receive painful criticism with patience, understanding and grace. You won't betray yourself by listening to a note or two with an open mind, and you may find you agree with some of them. Some!
Don't worry, Virgo, we're not asking you to abandon your integrity. You've got your high standards, and you can keep them intact. But you know you're good (stop, you are), and allowing yourself to acknowledge that in the new year will not transform you into some egomaniac blinded by self-serving judgment. You deserve props, plain and simple, and it will be less cringe-worthy when others pay you a compliment if you're used to taking them from yourself. See? There's a practical benefit for you.
Your people-pleasing probably earned you a lot of meetings with folks you really didn't want to spend time with. That's one of the tricky things about being everyone's favorite—your schedule fills right up. In 2019, pledge to see your time for what it is: a valuable, nonrenewable resource. Managing your energy might mean disappointing a few people (they will get over it!), and putting yourself first.
You're as fixed as the fixed signs get, Scorpio, so we know you're not going to change overnight (or overyear). But in 2019, you can challenge yourself to cross one enemy off of your list (you might have several lists…). You don't have to forgive, forget or compromise your own boundaries, but hanging onto anger does hurt you in the long run. Pick one grudge, light some sage and let it go. You'll feel lighter.
You're so buttoned-up, Capricorn, you probably take pride in having leftover vacation days (especially if they don't rollover into the new year because you're masochistic like that). Your consistent performance on the job requires maintenance, so while time off may seem wasteful, it's doing the valuable work of keeping you in tip-top shape, mentally, physically and emotionally. If that's not enough, consider the business rationale: Aren't you leaving money on the table for not fully utilizing your benefits?
It's hard being right all the time, Aquarius, right? If you disagree, that's the point. You can't evolve your (very right) opinions if you never test them, and the best way to do that is to mix up your media consumption habits to include at least one or two voices with a totally different hot take. At first, you'll get angry, but the influence of new ideas will inevitably inspire greater understanding. Ultimately, you'll have more conviction AND more empathy for other perspectives.
Your financial future doesn't have to be as difficult to navigate as your emotions (we say it with love, Pisces). While money is notoriously one of the most stressful subjects to tackle, it is surprisingly easy to implement a few strategies for keeping your wallet in check. Whether it's contributing a few percentage points more into your 401(k) or Roth IRA or committing to eating out only on weekends, the difference will add up.

A joyful noise. Or not.
Dots and I manned a Salvation Army kettle outside a nearby mall last Saturday as part of our National Charity League chapter's Philanthropy Day.
Vivian sat us with but complained often, "That bell hurts my ears!"
Vivian's class took a walking field trip to a neighborhood Italian restaurant today. They had been practicing ordering and using their best table manners at school before the big outing.
I received these pictures and texts from Vivian's wonderful teacher this afternoon. It sounds like a successful experience!
We had a wonderful time today. Vivian walked to the restaurant and back, used her manners, ordered spaghetti for herself and helped me eat my pizza. She asked to take my leftover pizza home for dinner. Coach Cunningham (Eloise's note: a big PE teacher with a voracious appetite!) drove over to meet us. He offered to carry the to-go box back to school for Vivian. She politely but firmly told him, "I will carry it myself." I'm not sure she trusted him!
Dots was a "Greek Goddess" for Halloween this year. Vivian did not want to dress up or go to the block party so I have no pictures of her on Halloween!
Robert and Tucker visited with neighbors briefly before Robert and I left for the World Series. Notice the neighbor dressed as a Dallas Cowboy. He said that was about the scariest costume he could think of this year - LOL.
Last night I hosted Robert's direct reports from work here for dinner. I set my table using some fall linens that my mother sent me, and I was thrilled with how pretty everything looked. Aren't the flowers gorgeous? Expect to see this table again as I am hosting Cooking Club next week and having all of my family for Thanksgiving!
For the hors d'oeuvres I served Sue's Cajun Shrimp and some Blue Cheese Appetizers (isn't that an exciting name?) that I found on Epicurious. The shrimp is a favorite standby that is always a hit, but this was the first time I'd made the blue cheese appetizers. They were quite good and extremely easy, though I might experiment with using Stilton cheese next time to see if the color looks better on the toast.
For dinner I served Beef Tenderloin, Yam and Potato Gratin, Carrot Soufflé, Haricots Verts with Feta and Pecans, and rolls. Dessert was White Chocolate Bread Pudding, also from Epicurious. I was pleased with how everything turned out. Many of the dishes were favorites of mine from past Cooking Club gatherings.
At one point during dinner I commented that I hoped our guests didn't mind that Robert had elected to have them to our home rather than taking them to a restaurant where they could have chosen what they would eat. One man responded, "Oh, no, I never choose this well in a restaurant!" I thought that was one of the nicest compliments I've ever received!
Preheat oven to 375°. In a small pan add the butter and all other ingredients except the shrimp. Simmer for 5 minutes. Place shrimp in an open baking dish, and pour sauce over the top. Stir once to coat all of the shrimp. Bake in an uncovered dish for 20 minutes.
Serve with toothpicks. You can double the amount of shrimp without increasing the amount of sauce.
Let tenderloin marinate at room temperature for one hour prior to baking.
Preheat oven to 500° F. Place tenderloin on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle to taste with lemon pepper and seasoned salt. Bake at 500° for 15 minutes. Turn off oven but leave tenderloin in the oven for 45 more minutes. Do not open oven door. At the end of 45 minutes remove tenderloin from oven and allow to stand at room temperature for 20 minutes before carving.
Blanche green beans in boiling water for 4 minutes. While draining them, run cold water over to stop cooking. Whisk together oil, dill, vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper and onions. Place beans in serving dish and toss with pecans and feta. Just before serving, pour vinaigrette over top. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Butter baking dish. In a small bowl combine cream, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cover bottom of pan with a single layer of Russet potatoes, slightly overlapping slices. Drizzle lightly with cream mixture. Cover with a single layer of sweet potatoes, arranged similarly. Drizzle lightly with cream mixture. Sprinkle with chives and Parmesan. Repeat layers, ending with Parmesan. Cover with foil, dull side out. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue baking 30-45 minutes longer, until cheese is browned and potatoes are tender.
Cover carrots with water and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain, add butter and purée with a stick blender. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour into a greased 2-quart soufflé dish and bake at 350° for an hour.


Growth in the senior population and a generation of retiring baby boomers are driving demand for the senior living industry. According to the National Center for Assisted Living, the average age of residents in assisted living facilities is 87 years. As people age, they become frailer and more inclined to suffer from chronic illnesses, including memory loss, heart disease, diabetes, colon cancer and high blood pressure. In addition, aging negatively affects a person's functional abilities, such as sight, hearing, muscle strength and coordination, exposing older people to significant risks of injuries. Consequently, older adults or their families consider moving into retirement communities, where they can receive assistance with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, toileting and eating. As a result of the aging demographic trend, demand for senior living businesses is expected to increase in future years.
How big is the Senior Living market opportunity?
The number of senior living facilities has grown exponentially over the last 30 years.
Demand for senior living services is expected to continue increasing through 2030.
Why do you need a Senior Living industry business plan?

Why do Malaysian batik use leaves and flowers as their common design?
What is the importance of Malaysian Batik?
Where can we use leaf find Malaysian Batik?
What is the style of Malaysian Batik?
What is the common motifs of batik found in this country are leaves and flowers?
Why is batik important?
What type of batik production in Malaysia that artist uses the canting way?
What are the different techniques used in Brunei's batik?
Malaysian batik is also famous for its geometrical designs, such as spirals. Malaysian batik fabrics do have an international edge because they have brighter hues and more versatile patterns than the illustrations of animals and humans which are common in the more mystic-influenced Indonesian batik.
Malaysia batik can be found on the east coast of Malaysia such as Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang while the batik in Johor shows Javanese and Sumatran influences.
This art form, Malaysian Batik Art, is a technique by manually applying a wax-resistant coating to a fabric which then resists dye put on the fabric so that the colors won't run and wonderful patterns can be made.
d:The most popular motifs are leaves and flowers. Malaysian batik often displays plants and flowers to avoid the interpretation of human and animal images as idolatry, in accordance with local Islamic doctrine.
Many people wearing batik to show how they do appreciate and belong to a culture. Batik also gives other spirit of nationalism which represent in Batik Nationalis. The role of batik in international diplomacy and in the world level gives significant meaning for batik as a commodity which preserve Indonesian culture.
THIS IS UNIQUE: Which skincare brand is best in Malaysia?
Hand-Drawn Batik is where the designs are drawn on the fabric with hot liquid wax by using a metal object called canting. When the wax outlines are done, artists use the brushes to paint the dyes within the outlines.
Batik is dyed cotton cloth decorated through a technique known as wax-resist dyeing. Workers start with plain cotton and draw patterns with melted wax. The cloth is dipped in dye that colors unprotected fabric. Waxing and dyeing continues until the pattern is complete.

How to win the streaming wars
This week in Harvard Business Review, I have a long analysis of the so-called "streaming wars" that are disrupting the media industries. Incumbent producers and distributors, tech companies, and consumers themselves are all creating vast amounts of new content, experimenting with a wide variety of ways to distribute and monetize it.
From Disney+ to YouTube, from Peacock to Snap Chat, from DirectTV Now to Instagram, it's an abundant if confusing time for consumers!
Who will win, or at least last long enough to make a profit? The article suggests, based on extensive research, that different age groups are gravitating towards different models for producing, consuming, and paying for video content. Would-be winners of the streaming wars would do well to understand the characteristics of each, so much the better for balancing offerings so as to appeal to each.
The risks here are enormous. Give away too much to younger audiences, and risk cannibalizing existing bundled PayTV subscriptions that pay for the innovation. Offer a one-size-fits-all service that compromises too much, and you muddle the message.
One thing is for sure: the platinum age of low-cost or even free content can't last forever, or even much longer. A reckoning is coming, sooner rather than later.
As with all industry disruptions, the Big Bang is followed by the Big Crunch.

How Should Governments Approach Technology Policy? Modestly.
Earlier this week, I spoke in San Francisco at an event co-sponsored by the Reason Foundation, TechFreedom, and the Koch Institute. Hosted by my CNET colleague Declan McCullagh, the topic was "DC vs. SF: A Clash of Visions for Tech Policy."
The discussion ranged widely, from copyrights and patents to NSA surveillance to the failure of the government's Healthcare.gov website. Although panelists from the political left and right disagreed on some issues, there was as usual widespread consensus that from the standpoint of entrepreneurs and engineers, the core problem in technology policy is that the pace of change for innovation continues to accelerate while the pace of government, at best, remains constant. Moore's Law, increasingly, trumps legislated law, often unintentionally, and often with unintended negative consequences.
At the same time, as I emphasized, the shift in commerce, social life, civil life and nearly everything else from offline to online media means that future collisions at the intersection of innovation and regulation are inevitable and, indeed, certain to increase in both frequency and the degree of collateral damage. Governments claim a monopoly on regulating much of this activity, after all, and like any institution that believes in its own mission is unlikely to let itself go quietly out of business as its markets change.
Governments rely for revenue on taxes. As more traditionally taxable activity migrates online, lawmakers are certain to follow. That's been true in the development of any frontier, physical or virtual.
The longstanding Silicon Valley approach of ignoring Washington in hopes lawmakers won't notice what we're doing was always a dangerous policy, and has now become downright reckless. So how should innovators engage with regulators?

We've added over a dozen new posts to the Media page, covering some of the highlights in articles and press coverage for April and May, 2012.
Topics include privacy, security, copyright, net neutrality, spectrum policy, the continued fall of Best Buy and antitrust.
The new posts include links to Larry's inaugural writing for several publications, including Techdirt, Fierce Mobile IT, and Engine Advocacy.
There are also several new video clips, including Larry's interview of Andrew Keen, author of the provocative new book, "Digital Vertigo," which took place at the Privacy Identity and Innovation conference in Seattle.
June was just as busy as the rest of the year, and we hope to catch up with the links soon.

2012 is off to a fast start, and we're trying hard just to keep up. We've already added over thirty posts to the Media Page, including articles, radio and television interviews, and quotes in a wide range of online and offline publications. There are several video and audio clips for your enjoyment.
The year began with two big stories: the successful fight to halt efforts for quick passage of SOPA and PIPA, two bills that would have added dangerous new legal remedies for government and private parties to tinker with the underlying engineering of the Internet in a fool-hardy effort to curb unlicensed copying by consumers. Larry was front and center, making several trips to Washington to speak with Members of Congress urging them to reconsider the bills, and reported as well from the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where the tide turned definitively against the bills. Larry's work, including a controversial article for Forbes on "Who Really Stopped SOPA, and Why," was cited in publications as varied as The National Review, Aljazeera, The National Post, TechCrunch, Techdirt, AdWeek and a radio interview on WHYY's "Radio Times."
The second big story was Larry's barn-burning article for Forbes on the failure of electronics retailer Best Buy to adapt to changing market and technology dynamics. The original article how has nearly 3,000,000 pageviews, and set off a firestorm of response both positive and negative. The article spawned several follow-up pieces on Forbes, as well as extensive coverage nearly everywhere else, including The Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, TechCrunch, Slashdot, MetaFilter, Reddit, The Huffington Post, The Motley Fool, MSN Money and CNN. Some of these articles generated thousands of user comments, in addition to over a thousand that appeared on Forbes.
With the SOPA and PIPA fights temporarily on hold, Larry pivoted back to other important innovation and policy matters, including reform of the FCC's troubled Lifeline program, Internet privacy, and a fight over future spectrum auctions vital to the future of mobile broadband. Look for articles in CNET and Forbes as well as interviews in U.S. News, This Week in Law, The Los Angeles Times, The Hill, WebProNews and the Heartland Institute.
Stayed tuned! It's going to be an exciting year.

The photo management application that comes bundled with Apple's OS X is called iPhoto. It can be used to import photos from your digital camera or memory card, edit them, save them to your computer, or export them to another memory storage device. Knowing how to transfer photos from iPhoto to a memory medium such as the memory stick can be a handy procedure to know if you have excess photos on your hard drive and you want to free up disk space.
Insert the memory stick into your computer or into the memory stick card reader connected to your computer via USB port. The computer will automatically recognise the memory stick as an external storage device.
Create a new album in iPhoto that will serve as the home for the photos you wish to save to the memory stick. Select the photos you want to export, and drag-and-drop them to the new album's folder.
Highlight the album's folder, and click "File" in the menu bar.
Select "Export" under the "File" menu, then select "File Export."
Select the memory stick drive as the source to which you would like to export the photos. Click on "Export" to start the transfer from iPhoto to the memory stick.

How Do I Copy Songs From My iPod to SD Disc?

A band based out of New York City, Lukka is a group that kept evolving over the past few years, experimenting with new ideas and influences, as well as giving their audience something truly special.
Led by the talented and charismatic Franzi, Lukka is all about combining elements as diverse as alternative rock and psychedelic music into a unique delivery; a distinctive style that we had the pleasure of tasting already with their previous single 'Feed Me', of which we wrote not long ago – if you missed the article, you can read it at the following link: […] – and which is now renewed with the "cosmo-dromic" 'No One and Everything In It All'.
"The project started when I played one of my old songs in reverse mode in LogicProX," explains Franzi on the genesis of this brand-new studio single, than he continues: "I discovered a new guitar riff there from which a new song developed. The song was basically written within 10 minutes. The lyrics mostly talk about us humans, our place in the universe, and that we should love each other more as 'we might be the only ones, circling around the same sun'.
Richly adorned with a variegated rose of aesthetic influences that recall elements related to indie-rock, post-punk, and up to shoegaze, Lukka's latest work offers an atmospheric listening experience.
Suggestively developed around a melodic and energetic, catchy and fresh leitmotif, the song offers a rich plot in which upbeat drum patterns, effect-laden guitars, and evocative vocal layers interchange and follow each other.
All this luxuriant yet dreamy richness of sonorities is conveyed in an expansive brightness that manages to underline the timeless perspective that characterizes the aesthetics of this piece.
