Show of the Week
Congratulations to our most recent show of the week winner: Flavor of the Week


Heaven is the experience of oneness in changeless Love. Love is eternally extending Itself. The appearance of lack or loss of any kind is a misperception and therefore not true. The body and the world we experience through the body seems to make loss and lack real. We are released from this limited perception as we consistently practice handing all our perceived problems over to the Holy Spirit for a change in perception.
As we increase our willingness to step back and let our thoughts be transformed by the Holy Spirit, we remember we are safe because we are still Love, as God created us. In reality, nothing has happened to change the Self that God created one with Him.

Split rail fencing was on of the earliest forms of fencing in America. There are several reasons for this, and it's not just because it is inexpensive to build a split rail fence yourself. Traditionally, split rail fencing was used for all homes becauses it required few materials or time to install, and most people were farmers with a lot of land. So building a split rail fence with less wood made sense. As time progressed and populations increased and the towns became cities, fencing became more about privacy than simply outlining your territory.
Today, most homes with a split rail fence are in the countryside. The suburban areas are slowly picking split rail fencing up as a way to add more charm to the curb appeal of a home. The primitive design of a split rail fence can give your home and yard a more rustic look, which is gaining in popularity. But there is more to love about a split rail fence than just the look.
The average cost, depending on where you live and what materials you purchase, will be anywhere from $12-20 per linear foot, when professionally installed. If you do the fence yourself, it could cost around $8-12 per linear foot. The average linear feet needed for a project is approximately 150 linear feet. If you have the fence professionally installed, you should factor installation costs to be about 25% of the total job.
Most people choose cedar for fencing projects because of it's durability and affordability. No nails, fence staples, or other materials are needed for a split rail fence, which helps to keep the cost low.
What is the difference between your Split Rail Fence compared to Home Depot?
We offer more variety! We are the only company to carry both 2 and 3 rail systems in stock. Secondly, Home Depot only stocks smaller 8 foot "pony" rails, whereas we stock standard size 10 foot rails that are thicker and therefore, stronger.
This extra thickness keeps the cows in and the longer length rails mean fewer posts, fewer post holes, shorter installation time and a bigger budget for your next project!
How long will a Split Rail Fence last?
This will be determined by the climate, humidity levels, and whether the homeowner will provide any upkeep on their fence. However, in Colorado's climate a Split Rail fence should last about 15 to 20 years with no problem.
I am working on my front yard and I am trying to determine if a Split Rail Fence is right for me?
Trying to determine if Split Rail fence is right for you is all up the eye of the beholder. Every fence has pros and cons. If you want the rustic look of a split rail fence then you can easily trim to fit most dimensions. If you are looking for something a little more polished but still rustic then a Ranch Rail fence might the right decision for you.

Are Canadian Email Marketing Companies Out To Get You?
God I wish I could just use MailChimp.
That's what I've been thinking all day, dreading the time when I'd get home and have to do research on other email marketing software that I can use.
After my nuisance with WordPress, however (I'm still bitter BUT I think I found a solution and will be writing about that soon), I was determined to find a homegrown solution for my email subscription list.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that Canada has a few chips in this game – with some solid options that show up in normal Google searches (unlike our website builder friends).
Without further ado, here's what I'm finding.
Bloomtools is an all-in-one, website and marketing growth agency. From CMS, to website building, to email marketing – these folks are talented.
Ultimately, though, their calls to action are about connecting and getting a free assessment – they are not playing in my space of a young company that just needs a functional out-of-the-box solution.
I wonder how many large enterprises also want a functional out of the box solution, with customizations on top of it?
A Quebec-based startup, Cakemail has a high quality website and impressive features. Their segmentation abilities are really cool, and the ability to make custom templates "in a few clicks" makes them a really attractive alternative to MailChimp.
Pricing, though, is an issue for a small business/upstart. I'm extremely price sensitive in this area, and their base package for up to 500 subscribers is $8 USD per month (which could be God knows how much in CAD, depending on the exchange rate that day).
I also see nothing on the website about putting a signup form on your website, which makes me think this is less of an email growth tool and more of a manage-and-optimize what you have tool, pulling in leads from either marketing automation or from other signup forms.
I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. CyberImpact seems to be the closest thing to a MailChimp in Canada ("proudly built in Canada for Canadian SMBs") when it comes to features and how the website is laid out.
Funny how the design of a website instills confidence, or in the case of VIPlus below, fear and second thoughts. It really does make a difference.
I'm a tad bummed, though, at pricing (I'm sensing a trend). It's only free for the first 250 subscribers then jumps to $10 per month. Not bad, but not good either. MailChimp is free for the first 2,000.
They also talk about being able to put a signup form on your own website, which none of the others explicitly called out.
Not ideal because money, but keeping this one in my back pocket.
Right off the bat, I'm not sure this is the system for me. It is heavily enterprise focused, with a huge angle on CASL compliance (a need for me, but the messaging sounds more like they are aiming to save large enterprise from huge fees and a PR nightmare).
Their calls to action are "Book a Demo," not "Sign Up," which makes me definitely feel like they are focused on the enterprise.
A quick look at their pricing confirms this hunch. They charge by a credit system for email sends – definitely made for high volume senders with so many subscribers (i.e. millions of customers) that a per-subscriber fee model like MailChimp would be too costly.
It's not a fit – their branding is entirely enterprise focused. But I had to include it for the name.
VIPlus is a Canadian email marketing software. In case its inclusion in this list didn't make that clear. I'm a little bit scared of their landing page and overall website, as it lacks professionalism, in my opinion, instead going for that nostalgic, early 2000's style.
See and judge for yourself.
It's cutsie, right? But cutesie isn't always the best emotion to evoke when trying to sell to SMBs.
It is in my space, though, so it's worth considering. Only challenge – pricing. VIPlus only allows 200 subscribers on their free plan, then they start charging. I don't fashion myself an instant celebrity, but I definitely hope to hit over 200 subscribers in the lifetime of my mailing list and I don't want to have to start paying.
Oh, and their base price – for up to 500 subscribers – is $13 per month, which is on the high end of all SMB-focused email marketing plans I've seen. They are decent at scale, though, with up to 20k subscribers for just over $100 per month.
If I had to use it, I don't think it would be bad. But I'm not sold on the value.
There seem to be a lot of email marketing technologies and agencies targeting enterprise accounts – there were a couple more that didn't make this list, even – and not many that are looking at solid, out-of-the-box-but-scalable solutions for SMBs.
Maybe they are scared of MailChimp. Maybe they don't think they can compete? Cakemail and CyberImpact have done the best job so far, but financially I'm not sure it makes sense for a small-timer such as myself.
It seems like the solutions are intended for more traditional SMBs who are already established and are now trying to get into email marketing, not startups and bloggers aiming to build a large community.
Here's a quick costs chart I drew up for comparison – the money adds up over a pretty short period of time.
If it takes you six months to hit 2,000 subscribers, you'll be spending an average $64 USD (around $100 CAD) on Cakemail and about $90 CAD on CyberImpact. You'd spend $0 on MailChimp.
These costs increase over time, too – if it takes longer to reach 2,000, MailChimp is still free while these other options are charging you each month. A really hard sell when your primary goal is building a community and you're not charging people to follow along in your journey.
Is this a tax on being Canadian? I'm not sure, but I'm not happy.
I have to be honest with you – I'm concerned about incurring monthly costs before hitting 2,000 subscribers. It bugs me that Canada is so unable to compete in this space.
Getting entrepreneurs going is the hallmark of any SMB software, and you often give a lot for free to the little guys in the hope that when they grow, they will love your platform and be willing to pay for it. So far, in the email marketing world, Canada is pay to play.
Which will I ultimately choose? Stay tuned.

I am the lead pastor at Coast Community and have served in that role for 21 years. We've got a great history, but what I'm most excited about is what God is doing NOW in our church and community.
These are meaningful days at Coast Community. Again and again I'm reminded in various ways of what a blessing it is to be a part of a local community of faith like ours where people are welcome to be their true self and to find healing and hope in Christ. We are a group of people who are learning to lean into the suffering and brokenness that is so prevalent in our world, discovering that God's grace is sufficient. Life doesn't stop on Sundays, but as we gather to sing and pray and hear from God's Word, we are assured of God's love, and that a life of joy and wholeness is still possible. Come and join us anytime!
What do you most enjoy about Coast Community?
I most enjoy most the people - diverse, compassionate, faithful friends in Christ.
What things do you like to do in your free time?
My main hobby is spending time with my family, so I like to do whatever they're doing (going to games, watching movies, eating good food, etc.). The last few years I've also had the opportunity to coach basketball at San Marcos HS and that seems to take up most of my remaining free time.
I've been married to Kyla for 25 years now, and we have two great kids, Cady is 17 and a senior at San Marcos and Thomas is 15 and a sophomore at San Marcos. Our family is definitely a team in ministry, and it is a privilege to serve alongside these amazing people.

Trump administration asks U.S. Supreme Court to reinstate travel ban

People protest against President Donald Trump's new travel ban outside the U.S. Customs and Border Protection office in Washington, D.C., on March 7. An appeals court upheld a circuit court order halting the revised travel ban and on Thursday night the Justice Department appealed the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court.

June 1 (UPI) -- The Justice Department on Thursday night asked the U.S. Supreme Court to immediately reinstate President Donald Trump's executive order banning travel from six Muslim-majority countries.
In a filing, the nine justices were asked to consider the executive order's legality in an appeal of a ruling by the 4th Circuit blocking the ban. The justices include Neil Gorsuch, Trump's nominee who was confirmed by the Senate in April.
The Trump administration wants them to hear arguments on an expedited basis and to reinstate the executive order in the interim.
"We have asked the Supreme Court to hear this important case and are confident that President Trump's executive order is well within his lawful authority to keep the Nation safe and protect our communities from terrorism," said Justice Department spokesperson Sarah Isgur Flores. "The president is not required to admit people from countries that sponsor or shelter terrorism, until he determines that they can be properly vetted and do not pose a security risk to the United States."
RELATED Emirates to cut flights to U.S. amid Trump's travel restrictions
The lower court's May 25 ruling had said the policy was "steeped in animus and directed at a single religious group."
Trump's executive order barred entry into the United States for 90 days for residents of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
The Virginia-based federal appeals court voted 10-3 to uphold the nationwide halt to the policy on appeal from a circuit court judge, saying the travel ban was driven by unconstitutional religious motivations.
RELATED California judge questions Trump order to cut funds to 'sanctuary cities'
The majority noted Trump's campaign pledge to bar Muslims from entering the country. The court also faulted the White House for rushing out the first version of the executive order without consulting with the national security agencies and causing confusion at airports in the United States.
The executive order "speaks with vague words of national security, but in context drips with religious intolerance, animus and discrimination," Circuit Judge Roger Gregory wrote.
The original ban also included Iraq and would have given Christians in affected countries the first chance to apply for visas and refugee status. The new order, signed on March 6, added language exempting existing green card and visa holders.
RELATED Mosque to be built in N.J. town after $3.25M discrimination settlement
Thirteen state attorneys general filed an amicus brief in support of the travel ban, saying the block on the order prevents Trump from his constitutional ability to make national security decisions.
"The district court's ruling is thus an intrusion into the national-security, foreign affairs, and immigration powers possessed by the Executive and delegated by Congress. ... It threatens amici's interests by denying the federal government -- under a statutory regime crafted by the States' elected representatives in Congress -- the latitude necessary to make policy judgments inherent in this country's nature as a sovereign," the brief reads.
The first ban on Jan. 27 signed by Tump was ruled unconstitutional by a circuit court judge in Seattle and 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.
A circuit judge in Hawaii also ruled against the revised order.

Definition of pH - pH is defined mathematically as the negative logarithm (base 10) of the H3O+ (oxonium) concentration.
Example: The oxonium ion (H3O+) concentration of a solution with a pH of 1.0 is 100 times greater than a solution with a pH of 3.0. In pure neutral water the concentration of oxonium ions and hydroxide ions (OH-) are both equal to 10-7 per liter.


Every fantasy anime falls into many formulaic pitfalls: spells with English names, guys with big swords and even bigger hair, and demon beast resurrections. Slayers, the mid-nineties classic anime, has long ago been recognized as the standard for fantasy/action/comedy. There're many good reasons for this.
Explaining the plot to Slayers would waste more time than the filler arcs of Naruto. Simply put, Lina Inverse is the young, powerful sorceress who can claim more adversaries than Vash the Stampede. She and her badass (though thick-headed) swordsman companion, Gourry, traverse the land avoiding bandits, robbing from the rich to give to their stomachs, and blowing up everything else in between. Every thirteen episodes, an evil monster is reborn to destroy the world until Lina smashes it.
The first season, a convenient boxset sold by FUNimation, can be found pretty cheaply these days, which only adds to the bargain of owning this series. Slayers, though slightly younger than Record of Lodoss War, plays through standard adventures with a barrage of zany characters that grow on you, delivering as many laughs as it does explosions. It features that old school cel animation that your grandpappy remembers, which only contributes to the vintage pacing. One of my favorite situations takes place in a city populated by self-proclaimed "champions of justice." As people charge forward to collect the bounty on Lina's head, she and Gourry take turns keeping track of how many "champions of justice" they blow away in one blow, knocking down adversaries until Lina proves herself not to be the bad guy.
Which is like selling pot to your parole officer.
What I love about the characters is how stereo-typical they can be while breaking the molds at the same time. Though morality is very clear-cut (good versus evil) anyone who proclaims themselves a force of either ultimately turns out to be false. Initially, the homunculus Zelgadas (eat your heart out, Moonlight Knight) quickly shifts from villain to ally. The Red Priest Rezo is a world-renowned White Mage/Mother Theresa only until he can cure his own blindness. And best of all, Lina and Gourry never claim to be good or evil, just hungry.
I'm a sucker for old anime humor and mayhem on a medieval scale. Sometimes the pacing brings the action to a rough halt, especially when Lina explains the intricacies of the three schools of magic, but these scenes are few and far between. Slayers loves nothing more than blowing up the monster and getting to the next one. The voice acting is a very early job, one of Crispin Freeman and Lisa Ortiz's firsts. Just for that, I'm gonna cut them a lot of slack on the mediocre production value.
Not the fantasy genre rewriter that Scrapped Princess turned out to be, but a Hellsing of a lot funnier. Grab your friends and dive into Slayers. Okay, so start at episode five, then grab your friends and dive in.


Youth who are disadvantaged economically, socially, or both can miss the opportunity to learn the joy and discipline of hockey. The Foundation is dedicated to ensuring that every child gets an opportunity to participate in hockey.
Carlos and Dalia knew that they couldn't support Scotty's hockey by themselves. They worked even harder than ever to raise funds to support Scotty's participation in a competitive league. They know that many families don't realize they can even do that. The parents have to be committed: getting kids to and from practice, keeping them in gear, and covering costs. The children have to work hard too, not just at playing hockey but at school, and at supporting the costs of hockey.
The Foundation raises funds to provide hockey opportunities for youth in Anchorage who may not otherwise be able to experience the game and its values and discipline.
Make grants to the Scotty Gomez Foundation Hockey Association, a closely affiliated non-profit association of the Anchorage Hockey Association.

Whether you're taking part in Veganuary, want to make a batch of tasty vegan cupcakes for a vegan friend or relative, or are simply intrigued by egg free and vegan cake recipes, then these easy to make vegan cupcakes, flavoured with the classic combination of chocolate and cherry, are a must try. They are super light and moist, and are topped with a vegan chocolate ganache and a fresh cherry!
Being quite a traditional home baker eggs feature regularly in my bakes. Whether its a simple Victoria sponge, fun cupcakes, a pastry bake or even a meringue, it's rare for eggs not to feature in my ingredient list.
Although Mr E & I have been vegetarian for more years than we care to remember, we seldom try out vegan recipes. It's relatively straightforward to replace butter, milk and cream in a recipe – but eggs are a different matter. Imagine baking a Victoria Sponge or attempting a genoise cake without eggs! As a traditional baker the thought leaves me in a bit of a spin to be honest!
My second foray in the world of vegan cakes was an utter disaster and went straight in the bin, after I'd nibbled a little of it! I'd attempted a light and moist Swiss Carrot Cake, replacing the separated eggs with apple sauce and whipped up aquafaba. It looked great going into the oven but during the bake the whole thing collapsed. The egg replacement clearly wasn't robust or strong enough for the recipe.
So in trying to understand why my previous vegan bakes had failed, it may be useful to look at the purpose of eggs in baking. As we know, eggs, once whipped, help to create volume and lightness in a bake (think of meringues and souffles in particular). However they also permanently bind together once heated (think of an omlette), helping to firm up the structure of the bake.
With the help of James Morton's 'How Baking Works', here's the science bit…..
Eggs are able to froth up and increase in volume due to the high protein content of the egg white. These proteins are called albumins, and when looked at under a microscope they are curled. The whisking encourages the albumins to uncurl and stretch out, it also introduces air into the egg. This allows the albumins to turn into small bubbles which in turn gives cakes and meringues their lightness.
Heat also allows the proteins to unfurl, allowing the batter mixture of a cake to rise and 'leaven'.
The proteins are more intact in fresher egg whites rather than those which are a little older, and so explains why recipes call for very fresh eggs to be used when making meringues and macarons, for instance.
Egg yolks contain a protein called Lecithin. James Morton explains that this is a two-sided chemical structure. It allows one side to bind to fats whilst the other side binds to water. This has the effect of allowing mixtures to bind together, allowing them to be moist. He explains that cakes made without egg yolks and solely with egg whites have a tendency to be dry.
Having carried out some reading around vegan egg replacers, in the hope that my third attempt at an egg free cake or cupcake would be successful, I learnt that there is a whole host of substitute ingredients available. I was already aware that aquafaba (the usually thrown away liquid surrounding tinned legumes, particularly chickpeas) is a great for vegan meringues and macarons, but my reading opened my eyes to the idea of using ingredients like banana, apple sauce, oils, white wine vinegar, baking powder and ground chia and flaxseeds in place of the humble egg.
The trick, however, is to know which egg replacer to use for your chosen bake. Below are links to other sites which explain this simply and clearly and may be useful if you too are new to vegan baking.
Food 52, in their post entitled How to make your own egg replacers, explains which vegan egg substitute to use for which type of bake. For instance, if you're planning on making brownies or a custardy bake, Food 52 suggests using silken tofu.
The Huggington Post shared, The best vegan egg replacement for baking. It's basically a comparative bake post, similar to my Side-by-Side posts, in which the author whipped up 4 different batches of blueberry & lemon muffins. Each batch was made with a different egg replacer (chickpea, banana, flaxseed, acid base).
A useful infograph of various egg alternatives can be found in this post entitled 12 egg replacements for baking and cooking.
Wanting to make a some sort of vegan chocolate muffin or cupcake, the vegan egg replacer I selected was Flaxseeds.
Now, just about every site I've visited regarding egg free baking advise to purchase the whole seed (this applies to chia seeds as well as flaxseeds) rather than the pre-ground seeds as the naturally occurring omega 3s in the product can soon become rancid and spoil. Food 52 (linked to above) also suggests that better results will be achieved when grinding the seeds as required. However, having already failed dismally at grinding chia seeds with a pestle and mortar it seemed fairly obvious that I'd have the same lack of success with the flaxseeds, and so purchased a packet of pre-ground flaxseeds for our vegan cupcake recipe. As it turns out my blogging pal Nico, who is a vegan and writes at YumSome, recently shared her thoughts on ground flaxseeds in her recipe for a vegan self-saucing chocolate pudding (check it out, it looks seriously delicious!) She explains that her packet of ground flaxseeds are 11 months old and have lost non of their 'gloop' making properties having been stored in the fridge!
The point I'm trying to make here is this: if you have a suitable kitchen gadget to enable you to grind the seeds then, of course, buy the whole seeds and prepare them as required. However, if you want to try an egg free bake but don't have a suitable gadget to grind the seeds don't be put off from using the pre-ground products. Of course, the remainder of the ground seeds could be sprinkled over your porridge or cereal in a morning or even used in another egg free bake.
If you choose to grind the seeds as required you're going to need a suitable kitchen gadget to help you with the job. Spice and coffee grinders seem to be the go-to gadget for this task, although I have been reliably told that a stick blender also work well. Some sites list a pestle & mortar as being suitable, but having already tried this technique when grinding chia seeds I wouldn't advocate it unless you have a significant amount of spare time!
As with chia seeds, simply use 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseeds mixed with 3 tablespoons of warm water for every egg to be replaced. Once mixed with the warm water the mixture gradually turn gloopy and after about 10 minutes is ready to be used in your recipe.
Vegan Chocolate and Cherry Cupcakes.
And so, finally onto our egg free and vegan bake. Wondering if the flaxseeds would perhaps colour the sponge, we decided to make a batch of Chocolate and Cherry Cupcakes. Chocolate and Cherry is such a classic combination which is simply delicious. After all, the Black Forrest Gateau has recently undergone a resurgence of popularity for very good reasons.
These vegan cupcakes (adapted from this chocolate cake recipe) are amazingly easy to make. There is no creaming or folding as you would with a traditional bake, like a Victoria sponge or genoise cake. In fact they're made in much the same way as a muffin recipe. The dry ingredients are sifted into a bowl and the wet ingredients are added before everything is beaten together. It's really that simple.
The chocolate cupcakes rose beautifully during the bake and, although they sank slightly after coming out of the oven, the sponge was beautifully light and moist. I had planned on filling these egg free Chocolate and Cherry Cupcakes with a hidden pocket of cherry jam, but the cake sponge itself was beautiful as it was and really didn't warrant any further moisture being added to the bake.
with a vegan chocolate ganache and a fresh cherry!
1. Prepare the vegan egg replacer. Place the ground flax seed into a bowl and add 6 tablespoons of warm water. Stir. Set aside for 10 minutes until it's turned gloopy.2. Preheat the oven to 180c / 170 fan / gas mark 4. 3. Make the batter. Sieve the dry ingredients into a good sized mixing bowl. Add the flaxseed egg replacer mixture, vegetable oil and tamarind paste (if using). Beat together with either a wooden spoon or hand held electric beaters. Add the water and beat again until smooth.4. Divide between the muffin cases. Place the muffin cases into the hollows of a muffin tray. Divide the mixture equally between the 10 paper cases. Each paper case will be between half to two-thirds full.5. Bake. Place the muffin tray into the centre of the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the centre of the cakes comes out clean. You may need to rotate the tray after 15 minutes of baking. Once baked, remove the tray from the oven and place onto a cooling tray. 6. Make the vegan chocolate ganache. Break the chocolate up into small pieces and place into a dessert bowl (or similar). Pour the vegan cream alternative into a small pan. Set over a low heat. Allow the cream to heat through. Once on the cusp of simmering pour the cream over the chocolate. Stir thoroughly until the chocolate has completely melted and the ganache is rich and shiny in appearance. Set aside to cool. You may need to place it in the fridge for about 30 minutes to allow it to thicken up a little.7. Assemble. With a dessert spoon, divide the ganache mixture over the top of each cooled cupcake. Use the back of the spoon to spread the ganache to the edge of the cupcake. Top with a cherry. 8. Enjoy!
a) The tamarind paste could be replaced with 1 tsp of vanilla extract or 1 tsp of expresso powder. b) Consider using a cocktail stick to hold the cherry insitu, however do remember to tell your guests of the cocktail stick and of course the cherry stone!
Ooh, your photos look so good Angela, my mouth is watering. Cherry and chocolate is such a good combination. I really like the light texture of eggless cupcakes. I must say I don't bother with egg replacers when making vegan bakes, although I do usually add a little vinegar. I tried aquafaba once and it was a total disaster.
Thanks for sharing with We Should Cocoa. I've pinned to my vegan bakes board as well as the We Should Cocoa one.
Aw thankyou Chocolette. It's amazing how light the cupcakes were without the egg, I was seriously surprised. I'm glad it's not just me that has strugged to use aquafaba in cakes, though I suspect i shall revisit it at some point.
What gorgeous photos Angela, your vegan cakes look amazing and it is really interesting to read about egg replacers in vegan baking, I started a vegan bakes board on Pinterest and it is something I have been meaning to try. But when it comes to it grabbing eggs, butter, milk, sugar and flour is always so much easier so I haven't got round to it yet.
These look so pretty and moist, I adore cherries so this is a real winner for me.
Thankyou, cherries are just lovely in a bake aren't they 🙂 I have to say they were beautifully soft and moist, and yet still aerated!
Aw thankyou Sarah. I had no idea either, but I'd definitely recomend setting a couple of spoonfuls of your flaxseed aside and trying a vegan bake – it's amazing what they do in place of the eggs!
Lordy lord. I saw these on your Instagram and they look to die for!
Looooovvving your photography in the post also! So profesh!
Awe thankyou Betty, I'm glad you like the look of them 🙂 The pictures are all down to our new camera – I have a lot to learn with it but even just on auto mode the pictures are far clearer than our old compact.
These look beautiful! Chocolate and cherries go so well together and it sounds like you've learnt loads about vegan baking which is great too.
This was a really interested read Angela. I've avoided making vegan cakes for the exact same reason that I cannot imagine baking one without eggs. However, your cakes look perfect so perhaps I'll have to give it a try.
I was interested to see that you added tamarind paste to your cake mix. It would never have occurred to me to add it to a sweet dish like this.
Aw thankyou Charlotte 🙂 It still seems 'bizarre' that such light cakes can be made without eggs. But something really enlightening. I'd definitely suggest visiting vegan cakes Charlotte, they certainly weren't obviously lacking anything at all. The sponge was beautifully soft and moist and I suspect they would keep really well (they didn't get the chance to last long around here having shared them with my folks – they were interested in them with them being free of sat fats!).
I used the tamarind paste having seen it used in a Baked Bengal Curds recipe (I blogged about that a few wks ago). The origianl recipe for the curds had used the tamarind to macerate the fruits, so knowing that and having read online that the paste can successfully be used in sweet bakes I thought that the addition of the paste would help enhance the flavour of the cherries (which I'd initially planned as being a secret treat in the middle of the cupcake once baked.) Non the less, the tamarind certainlg didn't negatively affect the bake.
I do the same thing as you, I avoid baking vegan dishes, especially for the traditional ones. But I would cook a lot of savoury vegan dishes. I should bake vegan more often, to learn new things about baking.
It was really interesting to learn about all of the vegan alternatives we can use in our bakes as egg replacers Anca – I know I'll certainly be visiting vegan baking again.
Angela these look gorgeous. As you know I'm interested in egg replacements too but haven't tried flaxseeds yet. Well done for persevering!
Thank you Mandy, I must say I was very pleasantly surprised by how effective they were.
Hahaha, I must admit i quite enjoyed visiting the 'darkside' Midgie 🙂 Ah, you'r full of information 🙂 I had no idea that whole seeds and even golden syrup would work too. Do the wholeseeds breakdown during the bake or are they noticeable during the eat?
Thank you Jenny, to be honest I was intregued more than anything about how they would turn out and if there was anything obviously different. Happily, they turned out to be lovely and certainly not obviously egg-free or vegan. I think it's perhaps useful to have alternatives up our sleeves even as bakers who regularly use eggs for that instance when you 'need' to bake and there is only one egg available and no time to go to the shop to buy another dozen eggs!

In fact, as of today (August 19, 2018) over 100 news sources from all over the world have cited and/or reprinted my scholarship and teaching practice. Also, I was interviewed by several national and international news sources (radio, newspapers, educational).
• I submitted final revisions for one article; also submitted one invited book chapter, and three short chapters.
• I made substantial progress on suggested editorial formatting revisions to my manuscript on Dante's Divine Comedy, "Locus Amoenus: Imitatio intertestuale/Interdiscorsiva nella Commedia (Intertextual/Interdiscoursive Imitatio in Dante's Comedy.)" Final edits will be submitted to Longo Editore, Italy, in late September, 2018.
Presentations and Workshops
• On Wednesday, February 14, 2018, I delivered the workshop "(E-)Life is (not) Strange: Using Video Games in Foreign/Second Language Acquisition" to an audience of professors, instructors and MA students in Spanish and ESL at the New York University Campus in Madrid.
• On Thursday, February 15, I delivered a presentation entitled "Assassin's Creed Taught Me a Foreign Language: Video Games in Second/Foreign Language & Culture Acquisition" to students and faculty at the SLU Madrid campus.
• On Thursday, March 8 and Friday, March 9, 2018, I delivered two VGBL sessions to an audience of instructors and students in Italian at the Spring Hill College Campus in Bologna.

Tarazed (auch Tarazad, Tarazet, Reda) ist die Bezeichnung für den Stern Gamma Aquilae (γ Aquilae, kurz γ Aql) im Sternbild Adler. Der Name ist persisch und bedeutet "Waagebalken". Tarazed hat eine scheinbare Helligkeit von +2,72 mag und ist ca. 400 Lichtjahre von der Sonne entfernt. Er ist ein heller oranger Riese der Spektralklasse K3 und befindet sich in jenem Stadium der Sternentwicklung, in dem er in seinem Kern Helium zu Kohlenstoff verbrennt. Sein Radius errechnet sich aus seiner (wiederum aus scheinbarer Helligkeit und Entfernung bestimmten) Leuchtkraft von etwa 3000 Sonnenleuchtkräften zu enormen 110 Sonnenradien oder 0,5 AE. Damit ist er groß genug, dass sein Winkeldurchmesser auch direkt zu 0,0075 Bogensekunden gemessen werden kann, woraus sich zusammen mit seiner Entfernung ein ähnlicher Wert für seinen physikalischen Durchmesser wie der oben angegebene errechnet. Tarazed ist auch eine Röntgenquelle.

In der Fernsehserie Andromeda ist Tarazed der vierte Planet eines gelben Zwergs in einer der drei Galaxien (Milchstraße, Andromeda und Triangulum) und ein abgelegener und schwer zu erreichender Ort.

Beyond War LegacyMike Ryan2020-04-20T16:18:17-07:00
On December 15, 2012, Beyond War announced that, with its broad focus and historical approach to seeking "a world beyond war," it was no longer needed as an independent organization. It stated, "What is needed is for all organizations to embody the principles of living beyond war in their work, and to collaborate and consolidate in building the new systems in the culture of peace."
Thus, Beyond War named three "legatees" to receive its assets and to carry on its mission. The legatees are:
Nuclear Age Peace Foundation
National Peace Academy
The Peace Alliance
Beyond War's biggest legacy is bringing to consciousness the need for humanity to change its paradigm to one that understands and is based on the principles that:
War is Obsolete
We are One Interdependent Whole
The Means Are the Ends
The implications of these principles lead to personal practices of:
Maintaining a spirit of good will towards all (posing no enemies)
Resolving conflict without using violence
Working together with others to build the world that works for all.
The Beyond War Award legacy and the actual crystals now reside with the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation at our Santa Barbara office. If appropriate, we may decide to reestablish the award. In addition, we are housing and making available to the public Beyond War's relevant hard copy archival assets, including the Breakthrough book and the newsletters On Beyond War and Timeline. Electronic copies of Timeline from 1998 through the 2005 final issue are available from the Foundation for Global Community.

Q: A web interface (draggable elements, remembering state) similar to Wufoo The question I have is very specific. I wanted to have an app where I can create forms, as on Wufoo, with easy to use interface. Which means, draggable elements.
My problem is that I cannot figure out how will the state be saved in the database once the use changes the ordinal position of the form elements. I can do the front-end side, and there are libraries available for that but how do I save a particular instance of the form in the backend so that the next time use logs in, the order is same.
I would love to use Django for this app. So, the basic classes I can think of are:
class Form(models.Model):
  """...objects..."""

class TextField(models.Model):
  """...objects..."""
  #FK to Form()

class TitleArea(models.Model):
  """...objects..."""
  #FK to Form()

I can also have specific ID's on the elements in the HTML form:
<input id="Field2" name="Field2" type="text"/>

How do they (Wufoo) do this? Is my Model not correct? I know it is naive. Thanks.

A: You can use ModelForm to create forms using a model instance. Just save the model after a user is done editing, and then when you create the form for them again use the model as an instance to your ModelForm (or formset):
form = YourForm(instance=model_instance)

A: hidden input fields for the win.
suppose:
$("#submitForm").click(function() {
    // Check out the state of the union and change the hidden fields accordingly..
    // Something like:
    for (var i = 0; i < $(".orderedElements").length; i++) {
        $("#ordered-" + ((Number) i + 1)).attr('value', $(".orderedElements").eq(i).attr('id'));
    }
});

If you catch my drift.

A: Well, a good place to start is to think about a use-case.  If I'm a user, what am I going to need available to me, to build a form?  Textfields, sure -- but what else?  Is the form going to have a title?  A URL?  An expiration date?
When you have this kind of information plotted out, then you can start building out your models in Django.

Kinchafoonee Cowboys Sing "Sic 'Em Dawgs"
Kinchafoonee Cowboys Sing "Sic 'Em Dawgs"
Back in 2001, the Kinchafoonee Cowboys released their single "Sic 'Em Dawgs." The song used to be played before Georgia Bulldogs football games in Athens. It also energizes their loyal fans when played at various clubs.
You can stream or download the "Sic 'Em Dawgs" single for free at ReverbNation.com.
The Kinchafoonee Cowboys formed back in 1991 in Terrell County, Georgia. Their name comes from "the Kinchafoonee Creek – a tributary of the Flint River that flows through Lee County and Albany." Several of their members attended the University of Georgia, thus making them popular in Athens and around the State.
If you haven't heard the Kinchafoonee Cowboys, you are most likely to catch them at the Georgia Theatre in Athens, Andrews Upstairs in Atlanta or the State Theater in Albany. In 2006, the group opened for Hank Williams, Jr. in the 1st annual World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party in Waynesville, Georgia.
The Kinchafoonee Cowboys are still together and touring in 2013-14. Check out their tour schedule on their website, and you can follow them on Facebook, Twitter, and more.


A slightly different version of the most popular Food "Veg. Frankie", also known as Kathi Rolls. As the name says, it's made from Thepla (Gujarati dish), Potato Sabzi and Vegetables. Instead of Mayonnaise, Chutney or Tomato sauce, Chunda (Gujarati traditional Mango Pickle) used as a spread in this recipe which gives it a tangy taste. Follow this step-by-step method to make Thepla Frankie at home.
Prepare half cooked Theplas in advance.
Heat 1 tbsp. Rani Sunflower Oil in a pan over medium flame.
Saute Cumin Seeds, chopped Green Chilies and Turmeric Powder for 1 minute.
Set the flame to low, add chopped boiled Potatoes, Salt, Sugar and Lemon Juice.
Using a masher, mash the Potatoes well.
Switch off the gas, place the Potato mixture in a bowl and let it cool down.
Heat 1/2 tbsp. Rani Sunflower Oil on a Tawa over medium flame.
Cook the half-cooked Thepla from both the sides.
Place the cooked Thepla on a flat surface.
Spread Chunda evenly on Thepla.
Add Potato mixture and vegetables in the center of Thepla.
Sprinkle some Frankie Masala or Chat Masala.
Bring together both the sides of Thepla and wrap in butter paper or aluminum foil from the base.
Serve Thepla Frankie with Chunda or Chutney.

Sonax, leading manufacturer of car care products, counts on partnerships with international stars of the MTB community to draw attention to its modernised "Sonax Bike" series. Sam Reynolds, Nicholi Rogatkin and Clemens Kaudela are now the Sonax brand ambassadors to shine in the fascinating downhill and freeride scene.
The Englishman Sam Reynolds (26) is the "captain" of the new "Sonax Bike Team". He is from Surrey, just a stone's throw from London, and in recent years has made his mark at many international events with spectacular performances. These events include "Red Bull Rampage", "Loose Fest", "Cruz Fest", "Nine Knights" or "Dark Fest". Also, the "Freestyle World Champion 2016" Nicholi Rogatkin (22) is part of the team. Having achieved successes such as "BMX Worlds 1st" and "King of Air 1st", the professional biker from Lincoln in Massachusetts is among the top athletes in the international freeride community. Clemens Kaudela (27) from Austria completes the trio. The "High flyer from Unterstinkenbrunn", as the Austrian daily newspaper "Krone" wrote, caused a worldwide sensation, for example, with the probably highest air jump with a mountain bike. This trick succeeded just a few months ago at the "Nine Knights" festival, which takes place in the Alps every year. The three bikers will draw attention to the Sonax brand and the Bike series, particularly with video productions, at trade fairs and events as well as with other activities.
Sonax expanded its bike care programme, specifically tailored it to the e-bike trend, and modernised the design in 2017. The latest addition was the "Sonax Bike Cleaning and Care Cloth" for a convenient cleaning. "Sonax Bike Cleaner", which comes with a recently optimised formula, tackles typical soiling on the bike. Another interesting innovation is the new "Sonax E-Bike Chain Spray": the experts from Neuburg developed a special formula to lubricate and protect the particularly strained e-bike chain. The product with the "Easy Spray" double spray system protects electronic contacts and prevents leakage currents. "Sonax Bike Spray Wax", two other chain care products and helpful accessories complement the range.
