"My daughter's journey started when she was 2 years old. Caileigh was told she had muscular dystrophy, although it wouldn't be her final diagnosis. By the age of 12, she received 2 misdiagnoses of other rare forms of muscular dystrophy. This led to years and years of wrong treatments and therapies.
Her final and accurate diagnosis didn't come until she was 13 years old. For the first time, the doctor spoke the words 'Bethlem Myopathy Muscular Dystrophy'. We learned that it's a rare form of muscular dystrophy present at birth. It is a congenital collagen VI deficiency disease that primarily attacks the skeletal muscles. Now, what does this look like?
Caileigh often experiences extremely weak muscles like other muscular dystrophy survivors. But what makes her condition unique is just how much it affects her internal organs. She suffers from lung disease and has had over 15 cases of pneumonia in her lifetime, typically in both lungs simultaneously. She suffers from presyncope, which causes many episodes of passing out. She has constant low blood pressure, and it's common for it to remain around 60/45 for 45 minutes to an hour. Her heart just cannot keep up with her body.
The scariest change for us has been her esophagus. Within the past two years, up to three quarters of her esophagus has completely stopped working. We were told if it continues to fail, she will have to be placed on a feeding tube for her safety.
About two years ago, Caileigh began to complain about pains in her back. Soon after, the complaints went from daily to almost hourly. When I took her to the doctor, I was informed her spine was collapsing. The muscles in her back were not strong enough. Two months later, my sweet daughter's spinal curve was so severe that her left lung almost collapsed. Surgery was imminent and she is now the proud owner of beautiful, fully-fused spinal rods and pins.
After the surgery, Caileigh lost the ability to sit up on her own, walk, or do anything for herself for nearly two years. Regardless, she continued to persevere. She now functions on her own daily, only needing minimal assistance to rise at times or use her scooter during the day.
The most incredible part about ALL of this is Caileigh has never lost faith in her ability, her recovery, or herself. Through all of the torturous testing involved in a muscular disease and diagnosis, my daughter has remained stoic. We do not believe in 'I cannot'. Her life has been filled with blood draws and needle sticks and she does her best to comfort ME through every procedure.
She has undergone several Electromyography studies where small needles are inserted into her muscles and shocked. Although these are extremely painful tests, Caileigh endures them time and time again. She has also undergone Esophageal manometry testing in which a camera is placed down the nose and into the esophagus. This was awfully uncomfortable for her but allows doctors to find out exactly how much of her esophagus is still functioning. Throughout, she has been so positive and patient with them.
With a beautiful smile on her face, Caileigh deals with difficulty every day. A few years ago, out of the blue, her 'best friend' no longer wanted to be her best friend. She has had countless strangers walk up and ask why she uses a 'grandma scooter' to get around. Any time Caileigh trips and falls, people will stare or laugh instead of rush to assist her. But Caileigh and I firmly believe these struggles have made her a stronger person.
Caileigh may have a physical impairment, but she is blessed by her ability to draw. She uses her talent to create beautiful works of art and donate them to different charities.
Many people expect someone like her to speak with sorrow and sadness, maybe even dread. After all, her life has been filled with heartache and pain. She has known nothing but struggles. But when Caileigh speaks there is so much hope and happiness.

Why do you get pissed off about terminology so easily?
Jakub Błaszczyk
Why do you get pissed off about terminology so easily? It's just terms.
I thought I was pretty clear about that. I get pissed off at terminology for the same reason I get pissed off when Microsoft moves around the ribbons an icons and sells people a new version of Office. It's the same as before, but sold as something new, and in the case of software neologisms the new ones are less exact than before, often to the point of uselessness. "Refactoring" is just a buzzword, meaning whatever the speaker wants it to mean at the moment.
It's what they mean what's important.
I would mind less if they settled on one meaning instead of just UncleBobbing (good one) me with bullshit.
"the idea that developers write their own tests" — don't think about it as tests of implementation. It's more like "custom automated verification" of contracts only. It doesn't prove program is correct. It's more of a smoke detector giving you early feedback when changing implementation violates assumptions other components rely on, so you don't have to wait until blackbox testing reveals issues.
That kind of breakage is something I never experience because I follow OOP principles; I'm a convert to OOP because in the mid 90s I took on a telephony project at Intel that I was absolutely sure was way over my head, expecting to get fired after a few months but get caught up on my bills until then .. instead I did such a good job decomposing my component into objects that the Intel managers were impressed enough to relieve me of most meetings, which at Intel is like being crowned Pope.
I'm not arguing against testing. But I've written several articles on this that I won't rehash here. Please read my two on TDD.
They're executable so they're always up-to-date and piles of written documentation seldom is.
Ah, no. You're thinking of implementation specs, which almost nobody writes anymore. Requirements specs change occasionally, functional specs are only slightly more volatile, implementation specs are too volatile to maintain, and the reason for that is the same as my argument against pre-implementation test development. We discover things in implementation nobody anticipated.
In practice unit tests end up overly consuming indeed because people don't know what they should write tests for, so they just test everything mindlessly like there were no tomorrow. Gurus didn't tell them there were limits, so they just keep moving on and on.
Trust me we have no argument here. The people who say that anything short of 100% coverage is dereliction of duty (yes I have actually seen it phrased this way) are nutjobs, like Second Amendment lunatics who can't go five sentences without steering back to the RKBA.
I've seen people developing e.g. complex SAT solvers without unit tests. Every time there's a bug they have to trace through most of the codebase to pinpoint one little typo. The amount of time wasted for stone-age-like debugging is order of magnitude higher than time spent on succinct and focused unit tests that reveal issues early. It's also easier to debug through failed unit test than blackbox testcase.
I do tracelogging, I find unit tests to be too much work and of little value. Yes they can reveal an error early but I almost never use a debugger once I know a codebase; I can read the code and see the error and got from bug discovery to propping the hotfix to production in minutes.
Stone Age debugging? Hyperbole much?
Tracelogging also serves as most commenting too.
But I think you're just unwilling to see my point. Too bad, you'll get stampeded by Uncle Bob's fanatics.
I have better time management skill than that.
What I see happening in software is that concentration and focus have left the building; too many developers are gamers with the attention span of horseflies, they can't write good code because they can't concentrate and have never known a Flow condition so they think, and have plenty of support in this, that testing is more important than development.
Oh, I've run into the Uncle Bobs. Just look at my block list on Twitter. The ones who say that my desire for an uninterrupted workday is a sign of mental illness or that my preference for large responsibility/ownership and my capacity for detail represent selfishness and prima donna hateur. I don't pay a lot of attention to them. I was a better developer two years in than most of them will be thirty years in. They can't concentrate.

Two sisters, a truck driver and a housewife, fend off a Kaiju apocalypse in the Great Smoky Mountains with their mech Mama Possum.
This game is a sci-fi/horror piece about a war against a swarm of mechanised roaches. You play as the driver of Mama Possum, which is the name for the weaponised vehicle you're controlling.
The graphics are beautiful and I especially liked the part where the roaches faded in and out. The interface, however, isn't very intuitive in my opinion. It took me a while to realise how the buttons work, which I initially thought were backwards/forwards buttons.
The tightness of writing is what really stands out to me. The voice of the narrator is a markedly local one, carrying a strong undercurrent of pride for her hometown that is reinforced by the frequent references to Arkansas. This combined with writing that is not overly descriptive does an excellent job at characterising the narrator while helping the plot advance.
The length is perfect, complementing the tightness of writing. The game gives snapshots of the narrator's background in the midst of the action, which is also a snapshot of the fight.
Honestly, I love this game, by far the best I've played so far. I like the use of graphics, I felt like I was playing a game instead of an experimental piece of writing.

New Medications May Increase Available Organs for Transplant
By JULIE APPLEBY, KAISER HEALTH NEWS 10 August 2018
Until recently, organs from donors who died of drug overdoses were often discarded due to concerns about hepatitis C.
AFTER HER KIDNEYS failed from the same illness that took the lives of her mother and brother, Anne Rupp went on dialysis in May 2016, spending three hours a day, three times a week undergoing the blood-cleaning procedure. She hated it.
Rupp, who had polycystic kidney disease, joined more than 95,000 other Americans on kidney transplant lists. She knew the wait could stretch out for years.
But an experimental—and controversial—source of donated organs provided a far quicker resolution: Expensive medicines to treat hepatitis C have made it possible to use organs donated by victims of opioid overdoses who were infected with the once-deadly virus.
Six months after agreeing to be in a study in which patients in need of a kidney transplant would accept infected donor organs, Rupp got a 7:30 a.m. call at her home in York, Pennsylvania. "We have a kidney for you!"
HUMAN BODY 101
How does the human body work? What roles do the digestive, reproductive, and other systems play? Learn about human anatomy and the complex processes that help your body function.
The number of people donating organs after dying from drug overdoses has risen more than 200 percent since 2012, data from the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) show—more than 13 percent of donors overall. About 30 percent of the 1,382 overdose-death donors in 2017, however, tested positive for hepatitis C.
In the past, organs exposed to hep C were typically discarded or given only to patients who already had the illness. Using them in patients who don't have the virus could shorten the transplant wait time for hundreds of patients each year.
"This is super exciting because five years ago 100 percent of [the donated] hep C hearts were being buried and now some are being used," said Peter Reese, an associate professor of medicine at University of Pennsylvania. "The world has changed."
But patients who receive such organs would almost certainly need simultaneous treatment with drugs to treat hepatitis C, generally a six- to 12-week course of drugs that costs tens of thousands of dollars. And it's unknown whether long-term use of the drugs is safe and effective in this population.
"'We haven't done this before,'" Rupp, 76, remembers her doctor at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, telling her when he offered her the option. But, he explained, the new antiviral medications nearly always cure hepatitis C.
While some hep C patients have no symptoms, over time, the untreated virus can cause chronic liver disease and lead to liver failure.
The Hopkins study—and several others nationally—are opening up new medical possibilities, while exposing patients to potential costs.
Since the procedure is considered experimental, many health plans don't have a specific coverage policy on the expensive antiviral drugs that go hand in hand with it.
Insurers that responded to questions for this story generally said they take each request on a case-by-case basis, and cover the drugs if they deem them medically necessary.
Researchers and ethics experts say coverage must be clarified before the new procedure becomes more widely available.
"How can you intentionally infect someone if not 100 percent sure their third-party payer will pay for [treatment]?" said Christine Durand, an assistant professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
At Hopkins, patients start the antiviral drugs just before being wheeled into the operating room. Other programs wait until the patient tests positive for hepatitis C, usually in the first few days after a transplant. Generally, when part of a study, the drugs are paid for by the manufacturer or the institutions conducting the research.
When the drugs first hit the market at the end of 2013, a course of treatment cost $100,000. As more antivirals have become available, prices have fallen and coverage limits have eased for people with chronic hepatitis C. The average net price for a round of hep C antiviral therapy is now $25,167, according to SSR Health, part of SSR LLC, a boutique investment research firm.
Outside of those trials, transplant surgeons say they've sought—and often obtained—insurance coverage for the drugs. Durand said the move is cost-effective, because the drugs cost less than ongoing dialysis for kidney failure or mechanical heart assist devices.
Researchers are split on whether there's enough evidence to take the procedure out of the realm of scientific study.
"It isn't the standard of care today, but it's going in that direction," said Durand.
But others advise caution until long-term results can be seen.
While the first 20 patients at Hopkins and Penn who received kidneys in a published study were all cured of hep C, "if we had 100 patients, or 200, then we would get a better sense as to whether the cure rate is 100 percent," said Penn's Reese.
The heart transplant program at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville has transplanted 42 non-infected patients with hearts exposed to hep C, and continues to follow them. Ashish Shah, the program's director, noted that some people with untreated or long-term hepatitis C have a higher incidence of coronary artery disease.
"We'll have to watch that," he said, but noted that many patients with severe heart failure would otherwise die waiting for a transplant.
"It's reasonable to think that risks [of accepting an organ from a hepatitis-infected donor] are far lower," he said.
Jay Fuentes, a 45-year-old registered nurse in Quakertown, Pennsylvania, agreed to participate in the study at Penn in hopes of getting a transplant more quickly after his kidneys failed in 2017.
"It seemed like a no-brainer to me," said Fuentes. "If I was in the first group where it had never been tried before, I might have hesitated."
He tested positive for hepatitis C shortly after the surgery and took the antiviral drugs for 90 days. He said he no longer tests positive and has gotten back into performing in local theatre with his children.
"I have a whole new lease on life," said Fuentes.

WATCH THE CHALLENGE: WAR OF THE WORLDS ON MTV FROM WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6TH AT 9/8 C.


Shortly after we greeted the Easter sunrise in the church courtyard, we found our numbers increased by one with the arrival of our grandson Droz who joined us for a week. After his departure, Cathy joined her Mom and sisters for a few days to celebrate her mom's 90th birthday. In the meantime, we helped wind up projects, as we said goodbye to more of our friends. The season is about to come to a close.
No ditch digging or electrical projects were on the agenda for Droz' visit this year. That doesn't mean he wasn't busy. He had signed up to be head cook – i.e., chef – at the Wednesday dinner during his visit. Since he was well into a culinary class at school, he rose to the challenge of planning and preparing a meal for 50 people.
He had planned the menu before he arrived, so Easter Monday morning was spent preparing a shopping list. There would be Caesar salad, bruschetta,ziti alfredo, and Black Forest Cake for dessert. On Tuesday, we headed out to buy the ingredients to a Restaurant supply store and a few more grocery stores. With the purchases made, Droz dove into preparation that afternoon and all of the next day, assisted by sous chefs Grandma and Grandpa.
All was going according to plan until Droz detected a gas leak on one of the ovens around lunchtime on Wednesday. The repairman was called, and Droz scrambled to get his baking done – 4 iterations of cake layers in the one working oven. To his dismay, the repairmen arrived as the last cakes had just entered the oven. To fix the problem, they would need to turn off the gas. It was a race, but the cakes finished just as they had to turn off the gas. That was close.
The meal was a big hit. And what leftovers there were managed to disappear over the next couple of days. There were already discussions about maybe a repeat next year. .
When not working on the meal, we managed to break away for a few field trips. On Friday, we headed to Clara's for lunch, followed by a tour of Sweet Pete's – one of Jacksonville's home-grown candy makers – complete with a custom-made candy bar, taking the Skyway for an overview of the city and the river downtown. Thursday took us to St. Augustine for the day, touring the fort and the old town on a beautiful, if somewhat blustery, day.
The Sunday after Easter, we were surprised by a visit from Cathy's Mom and 2 of her sisters, Carolyn and Chris, who joined us for Sunday service. They had arrived in St. Simon's Island GA the night before where the "girls" – Cathy's mom and her sisters -- gathered later that day for a few days to celebrate Mom's 90th birthday. With our arrival, the weather turned blustery and gray, but we had a great time relaxing and reminiscing together while we celebrated Mom's milestone.
While the project work continued, the pace started to slow as more of our members prepared to leave for points north. More staining and painting was done, and at this point, there is almost no bare wood left on campus. Bobbi and Sandy continued Karen's work on the front pillars, powerwashing them so the rest looked as good as the first few she had done. Don got the surface cleaner working again, requiring a series of new parts, repaired yet another bathroom fixture, a log splitter tire, deck boards etc. And Fred repaired doors, the parsonage AC, and made seemingly endless repairs to the golf carts. In the process, he worked with Jahaziel to help him learn how to keep the carts running and maintained while the Nomads aren't around. We'll see how he does.
Dave worked with several members of the church to transition to a new website and calendaring system, and managed to help Pastor Rigo finalize his local pastor application. It may not have required all the creative work of writing the many pages of papers, but his talents were essential in making sure they were submitted for review by the deadline.
Shortly after Droz returned home to go back to school, Fred, Don and Bobbi packed up and headed out. It was still pretty cold up north, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
With the eventual launch of Orion Jr getting closer, our attention is increasingly focused on getting her back in shape. Cathy finished making all 5 windows for the enclosure (finally!), and then did some stitching on the bimini to reinforce the zippers. With all the sewing work done, the canvas was stowed in preparation to return the mast to the deck.
Dave took a drive down to Daytona to deliver our outboards and generator to Blake for servicing. When we went to pick them up, we found out the generator and Nissan 9.8hp were in great shape. However, sadly, our dinghy motor was toast. It had served us well for 11 years, but it wasn't salvageable. For our trip in May, we figure the oars will get some use, instead. The dinghy's lights got some attention as well, since they wouldn't turn on initially. Although Dave managed to resuscitate the all-around light, he ordered replacements for all 3 to be sure we were covered.
As the campground emptied out, we moved the boat to a spot out of the trees, powerwashed the foredeck and washed and waxed the hull. In the process of moving the boat, we tested the trailer lights and brakes. You guessed it. One of the sidelights didn't work and the brake battery was questionable. More replacements were ordered. Opening up cockpit lockers to stow some new PFD's, caused a chain reaction of activities which resulted in cleaning both lockers, changing the fuel filter (and ordering a replacement), and restoring the fuel tanks to their operating position.
With still more to do to get the boat ready to go and RV ready to shut down, we decided it was time to go to Universal Studios and see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter – a delayed birthday present for Cathy. The boat stuff will still be there when we return.
Hemingway couldn't be left out when everyone gathered in the courtyard before sunrise on Easter Sunday. She found a way to become the center of attention – as always.

Cook County Creatives & The Work of Art
by Joan Farnam on February 25, 2016
Jakub Sisak took this gorgeous photo recently. Enjoy!
It's potpourri week on the North Shore — everything from movies to learning opportunities for artists, book talks to theater, as well as lots of live music and art exhibits.
"Breathe" will be screened on Friday at the library.
First up is "Breathe," a newly released French movie about friendship and betrayal. "Breathe" will be screened at the Grand Marais Public Library at 6 p.m. Friday. It looks like it will be good film. Check out the trailer here. Free.
On Saturday at 1 p.m., the Grand Marais Art Colony will host Bao Phi, program director for The Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis. Phi will discuss the $25,000 McKnight Fellowship for Writers, the Minnesota Emerging Writer's Grant (which provides Minnesota writers financial support and professional assistance to develop and implement multifaceted plans to help them with their artistic endeavors), and other opportunities for writers. Preregister with Bao by emailing him at bphi@loft.org. The information session is free and open to all.
This event at the Art Colony will be followed next weekend by a series of classes for artists and their businesses.
Entitled "Work of Art: Business Skills for Artists," the workshops are hosted by the Art Colony in collaboration with Springboard for the Arts. Based in St. Paul, Springboard for the Arts is organized to connect artists with the skills, information, and services they need to make a living and a life. The event is funded in part by Sivertson Gallery and individual donors. Each workshop is $15 and will be held March 5-6. They include:
Career Planning & Time Management for Artists, Saturday, March 5, 9-11:30 a.m.
Recordkeeping for Artists, Saturday, March 5, 1-3:30 p.m.
Pricing for Artists, Sunday, March 6, 9 – 11:30 a.m.
Social Media Basics for Artists, Sunday, March 6, 1-3:30 p.m.
For more information and to register, call the Art Colony at 387-2737 or click here.
In conjunction with this event, the Art Colony will host a Community Conversation at noon on Saturday, March 5, entitled "Building a Thriving Artist Community." What tools and resources do you need as an artist in Cook County? What are the road blocks and detours you have experienced? What kind of support would you benefit from in your artistic professional development? What sort of best practices have you seen in other communities? The event is free and open to the public. Participants can bring a lunch if they wish. Beverages will be served.
And then we come to the question: How big is Cook County's community of artists? Is it 200 people? 500? 1,000?
The Art Colony and its partners want to know so they can identify the needs of the creative community here. Musicians, artists, writers, actors, and creative types of all kinds — please fill out this survey. If you live here, spend part of the year here, visit frequently or simply identify Cook County as your creative home, you're a Cook County Creative and the Art Colony wants to hear from you. The survey only takes a few minutes and will be important to help identify how to make our artistic community grow and prosper in ways that could benefit us all. Pass the link on to your fellow creatives, too.
Meanwhile, there's art to be seen and enjoyed.
A detail from a beaded work at the Instructor's Show at the Art Colony.
The Northern Fiber Retreat's Instructors Exhibit continues at the Art Colony through the weekend. The exhibit is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
On Wednesday, March 2, local author Tim McDonnell will give a presentation at the Grand Marais Public Library entitled "Woods, Work and A Sense of Wonder: Growing Up on the Gunflint Trail." McDonnell will read selections from his book "The Whole Forest for a Backyard: A Gunflint Trail Wilderness Memoir." He will also introduce his second book, "The Contemplative Paddler's Fireside Companion," due out in May. He will speak at 6 p.m.
If you're a fan of Internet cat videos, a special screening of the Walker Art Center's collection of online cat videos will be screened at the Zinema 2 in Duluth at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. March 2. Tickets are $9 for adults, $7 for students and $6.50 for senior citizens.
Also in Duluth, "Broadway Bound," the award-winning play by Neil Simon, will be performed at the Duluth Playhouse in the Depot through Feb. 28. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday.
In Thunder Bay, the Magnus Theater presents "Venus in Fur," an adaptation of the 1870 novel "Venus in Furs," which challenges gender roles and sexual conventions. The play opens Feb. 29 and runs through March 12 with performances at 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Matinees are at noon on Wednesday and 2 p.m. Saturday. For more info and tickets, click here. The theater is located at 10 Algoma St. South.
"Weight of Fear," digital painting on canvas by Callen Banning is at the Thunder Bay Art Gallery.
The exhibit, "Unconstrained: Comic Art by Five Emerging Artists" continues at the Thunder Bay Art Gallery.
The Big Wu will perform at Papa Charlie's March 4-5 at 9:30 p.m., and play an acoustic set on Sunday, March 6 at 3:30 p.m.
The Spirit of the Wilderness art show, "Sense of Wonder: Expressing This Place" opens with a reception at the Johnson Heritage Post from from 5-7 p.m. March 4. Author Chel Anderson will speak.
Bill Ratner, America's premier voiceover performer, will speak at the Arrowhead Center for the Arts at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 8. Hosted by the North Shore Health Care Foundation, the show is free and open to the public. Stay tuned for details.
Betsy Bowen is carving the block for the cover of her latest book: "One North Star–A Counting Book."
In other art news, Betsy Bowen is putting the final touches on the art for "One North Star: A Counting Book" by Phyllis Root. The illustrations were designed by Beckie Prange from Ely, with the final hand-colored woodcuts and book design by Bowen.
"I think my work evolved in a fresh way, working with Beckie's layouts," Betsy said. The book will be out in hardcover in September from the University of Minnesota Press.
Next up for Bowen will be "The Lost Forest," also by Phyllis Root, with illustrations by Bowen. The book is about a mislabeled area in an 1882 survey which was discovered in 1967 to be 144 acres of unlogged virgin forest near Deer River. Bowen is just getting started researching the way survey work was done in the era before GPS. Watch for the book in the spring of 2018.

We found quite a selection of photos this week.
Let's start with Mom, the Bald Eagle. This is a video capture from the DNR's videocam at an eagle's nest near St. Paul. She laid three eggs this year, which will hatch sometime next week.

Jack Cooper had a goal and two assists in a 4-1 win on Wednesday night.
Mid Cities 1 @ Texas 4 – The Texas Brahmas got some revenge from the night before as Stuart Pearson and Jack Cooper each had a goal and an assist as the Brahmas picked up a 4-1 home win on Wednesday, which split the mid-week series after the Stars won 2-1 on Tuesday.
Texas jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the 1st period with goals thanks to Cooper's 25th with assists to Joseph Trazzera and Pearson, and Ian Erdman's 8th goal of the season with Cooper and Pearson picking up assists.
In the 2nd period, the Stars closed the gap to 2-1 with their lone goal from Nick Solema, who was the overtime hero from the night before with an assist to Michal Juscak. However, the Brahmas would respond with Cory Scull's first goal of the season with assists to Parker Mara and Cal Couell to make it 3-1. The just :45 seconds later, Pearson scored his 21st goal of the season with assists to Cooper and Tyler Blanchard to make it a 4-1 final.
Thomas Held picked up the win in goal for Texas, making 15 saves, while Stars goalie Noah Kinsinger played well in the loss, making 51 saves.

Likely one of the weapons that Muradin Bronzebeard wielded before he was knocked the f*** out by Arthas releasing Frostmourne. Note: he had an axe and a hammer.
Just hate that it is but ugly and stats sux.
Like many other weapons from the Lich King, this is the same model as another weapon from ICC, Marrowgar 25's 1h mace.
When compared to Lord Marrowgar's 1H Mace .
Edit: Why am I being down-rated for good information?
yee, it should look like a dwarf stormhammer, with some modification to show it was royal.
Also due the betrayal and presence of lich king, i would assume that the weapon would be cracked some and drop blood of it.
My problem is that this looks like a weapon from Icecrown Citadel, not a weapon Bronzebeard would use. Just annother fancy- lookin' Northrend model.

NewsRed Hat Closes Deal with Kuwait
Red Hat Closes Deal with Kuwait
By Developer.com Staff
Last week, leading open source company Red Hat announced that they closed a deal with Kuwait's Ministry of Electricity and Water to migrate from Novell's SUSE Linux to Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
According to the press release, the Kuwait agency selected "Red Hat Enterprise Linux as the basis for its long-term IT strategy based on the platform's ease of use, performance, scalability and security, and plans to run its mission-critical systems on the platform."
The Kuwaitis are looking at Red Hat for the future.
"With a strong Red Hat Enterprise Linux base," Kuwait's Undersecretary for Information Technology at MEW Ali AlWazzan said, "we will additionally be able to investigate future plans to utilize virtualization and cloud computing technologies in our IT infrastructure."


One of the use cases for Mightyverse is learning a language. We are starting an experiment of pairing up with language buddies as a great way for people to share their love of learning a language and help each other out.
We've paired up Jack (an 11-year old native English speaker), with Daniele (an 11-year old bilingual English/Italian speaker). Jack made up a list of phrases that he wanted to learn in Italian and those that weren't already in Mightyverse were recorded by Daniele.
Today we launch the "I Like Pie" phrasepack of Italian phrases that Daniele prepared for Jack. You can see it on the homepage of Mightyverse under the "I Like Pie" tab.
Here's how it works. If you want to learn phrases in any language, just record them in your language and find a language buddy to reciprocate in theirs.
The world just got a little bit smaller.
Interested in becoming a language buddy?

The outlook for the dollar remains quite bright; its present trajectory indicates that it is set to pummel all the other major currencies. If the EU decides to engage the Trump administration with a trade war, the Euro will almost certainly trade on par with the dollar.
On a separate note, the Fed has a huge amount of leeway once we enter the next stage of the currency wars. By hiking rates early on the cycle, the Fed can easily lower them if the need arises, and any nation that decides to match them will experience a rapid decline in the value of their currency. A rapid decline in the value of a nation's currency will unleash the inflation beast, and that is something nations like China can't afford right now. We are in the midst of a massive currency war.
For now, the US has a plethora of weapons to deploy against any nation that decides to engage it. We suspect that Europe will decide to work with the US as this will give both Europe and the US a chance to push China to the negotiating table. It will be a painful blow for the leaders, but the Chinese people will benefit from this move as it will trigger a movement in China that will resemble what took place in Taiwan years ago when it broke away from mainland China. However, that's a story for another day.
The US dollar index chart (above) is in a very bullish mode. Note that it's trending well above the main uptrend line and it would have to break through a through two levels of solid support to have any chance of ending this bull market. The first strong layer of support comes into play in the 88.00 ranges, and then an even stronger layer of support comes into play in the 83.00 ranges. The dollar would have to close below both these levels on a monthly basis to indicate that lower prices were on the horizon.
However, given the momentum and the current trade war atmosphere, the odds of the dollar trading below 92.00 on a monthly basis are quite low. Moreover, the US economy is strong; GDP came in at 4.1% for the quarter, and US Consumer sentiment is still very strong. Europe' growth rate in comparison is still anaemic, and China is on it's way to the dog house as it's just a matter of time before other nations join forces with the US. Markets are forward-looking beasts, and the Chinese markets have already spoken; they are indicating China Cannot win the Trade war battle; their only choice is to surrender and then come to the negotiating table. The longer they fight, the harsher the terms will be.
Conversely, the Euro is trading in the extremely oversold ranges on the weekly charts, so it's looking for any reason to trend higher. Risk takers can use strong pullbacks to open long positions with the intent of closing the within the next 3-6 weeks. This is not a long-term play. Once the consolidation in the US dollar index is over, it is expected to soar upwards, and the Euro is projected to continue its downward journey.


As part of their promotional campaigns for footwear across Asia, Reebok produced quarterly point-of-sale display material for distribution to all manner and size of sports goods shops.
To promote Reebok basketball shoes through POS displays.
First of all, the country distributor had to like the campaign and material. They then purchased it and distributed it to the shops in their country. These range from tiny 'Mom and Pop' shops to shops in large malls in the bigger cities.
The next audience were the teenagers and young adults who played mainly street basketball in countries across Asia Pacific. Hero worshiped the American basketball athletes. Wear shoes outside of the court as street fashion, so image is very important.
These Reebok shoes are really fashionable, cool and my friends will love them. The top players wear them. They will help my game as well.
Reebok basketball shoes – worn by the best players.
We only had a few 35mm slides to work with so we had to be very creative with what we had. We created a grungy, street look and accentuated the dot screen and effects to hide the poor quality images. We produced hanging cards, banners and posters.

GOV. RICHARDSON: Thank you for allowing me to take this time to address the NRA "Celebration of American Values." Responsible gun ownership, the right of law abiding citizens to own guns, is, indeed, a historically-cherished American value and tradition. As a Western governor, I understand and support the Second Amendment. I am grateful to have received the formal endorsement of the NRA as a Congressman, and again as governor in 2006.
This position doesn't always make me the most popular guy in the room with certain audiences. But the reality is that New Mexico has an age-old history of hunting, sportsmanship, and other lawful shooting activities. It also has a proud history of defending the nation and its Constitution, both in times of conflict and peace. I have a long record, both as a Congressman and governor, as a defender of the rights of citizens to own guns. You may have heard that I not only supported New Mexico's "Concealed Carry" law, I have a permit myself.
As you know, I'm running for president. The 2008 election will be one of the most important elections we've ever had. Our country is adrift, divided and partisan, and we've lost our standing in the world. The next president must be able to bring people together to heal our deep divisions, and restore America to its place as a true global leader and beacon of hope for the world. We need change, and we need someone with the experience to get it done. I believe I am that person.
You have a lot at stake in this election as well. In recent years, our civil and personal rights have come under attack. As president, I will lead an all-out effort to restore and protect our rights, including the Second Amendment. I am a Democrat who will work hard for you, for the rights of all citizens, and to once again make America the land of individual opportunity and collective greatness.
Just as I do not hide from my audience my support for responsible gun ownership, I will not down-play my belief that we can, and must work together to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill. We must work diligently to enforce existing laws and improve communications among law enforcement agencies. If we do, we will crack down on the real criminals. Then there will be less pressure on the rights of law abiding citizens like you and me who wish to own guns for protection, hunting or other recreation.
I'd like to thank your president, Wayne LaPierre, and the NRA for helping our Department of Public Safety provide high-quality fire arms for safety training programs for New Mexicans. I applaud your support of law enforcement across this country. As a governor, a Westerner, a supporter of our individual freedoms, and a Democrat, I urge all NRA members to stay involved in the election of candidates of both political parties. In America, we have a long and honorable tradition of solving our problems in a bipartisan manner. Your voice needs to be heard. When I'm president, it will be.
Today, I'm proud to join you in celebrating freedom, and I thank you for your support.

Live Poetry in New Bern, NC
Monthly Poetry and Featured Poets
Open Mic Guidelines
History of Nexus Poets
Poetry in Plain Sight
Amber Flora Thomas
May 6, 2019 September 25, 2018 by TheNexus
October 2, 2018:
Amber Flora Thomas will be the Featured Poet at the Nexus Poet's Poetry Open Mic at 7:00 pm, Tuesday, October 2nd at the Harrison Center, 311 Middle Street in New Bern.
Born and raised in northern California, poet Amber Flora Thomas earned a BA at Humboldt State University and an MFA at Washington University in St. Louis. Her lyric poems often engage the body as a record of loss and accrual. She is the author of Red Channel in the Rupture (2018), The Rabbits Could Sing (2012), and the Eye of Water (2005), which won the Cave Canem Poetry Prize. Her work has appeared in several anthologies, including Black Nature: Four Centuries of African American Nature Poetry (2009) and Gathering Ground: A Reader Celebrating Cave Canem's First Decade (2006).
Thomas's honors include the Richard Peterson Poetry Prize, the Dylan Thomas Prize from Rosebud magazine, the Ann Stanford Poetry Prize, and an individual artist grant from the Marin Arts Council. She has taught at Washington University in St. Louis, Dominican University of California, the University of Alaska-Fairbanks, and Eastern Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina.
Red Channel in the Rupture is described as a gathering place for the troubling abuses of the past. Looking through the lens of the present moment, Thomas shows us the open palm necessary to embrace change, as she finds beauty in bodies trapped, and crushed into change. Images and experiences bleed together as we confront with the poet the animal of loss and death. Moving through the aperture of landscapes and moments that have defined this poet, we discover the rupturing territory of time and change. We recover absolution for what has tried to kill our very souls.
Peggy Shumaker, author of Cairn said this about Thomas's work, "Amber Flora Thomas crafts poems of essential light—via photography, via the natural world. One poem asserts, I was low with ruptures I'd lived through, / regions of tear and ache. Ruptures—sexual violence, the jagged contusions of seismic grief, the obliteration of half of herself by passing. This poet knows gnawing and hunger, knows that a current / must take the shore with it eventually. Before it does, we have her poems, wild as mountain lions, hot as Santa Ana winds, delicious as ripe blackberries,wicked in fine gold hairs."
After the Featured Poet reads, the mic is open for original poems from other poets who sign up. The Harrison Center, is located at 311 Middle Street in New Bern. This is a free event with donations requested to pay for the space. The readings are sponsored by the Nexus Poets, a group of New Bern poets promoting poetry in Eastern North Carolina.

Cher is Officially Coming to Sydney for Mardi Gras
By Akash Arora - Features Editor
Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras is turning 40 with a bang. The Goddess of Pop, Cher, has been confirmed as the headline act, with a bevy of international DJs, cult drag stars and gay and lesbian icons arriving in the harbour city to celebrate the sequin-studded milestone. Here are six extraordinary ways to be part of the scene this year.
With more than 200 glittering floats, this year's traffic-stopping parade (3 March; Oxford Street) is set to be the biggest procession ever – a remarkable departure from the humble 1978 march, in which a few hundred LGBT activists followed a tiny truck down Oxford Street. Only time will tell if Cher herself will appear on one of the floats but we have our fingers, toes, everything crossed.
Image: Jeffrey Feng Photography
It's Australia's biggest LGBTQI bash (3 March; Fox Studios), with 12,000 attendees, five dance spaces, international DJs and theatrical lighting. But all eyes will be on one person – American singer and actress Cher, belting out timeless tunes such as If I Could Turn Back Time and Believe.
Thanks to a convivial vibe, food stalls and live stage shows, the Fair Day carnival at Victoria Park (18 February) is one of the most loved laid-back events of the festival. This year, add a family-friendly excursion to Luna Park to the list of things to do. The Family Fun Day (24 February) includes unlimited rides, a kids-only dance party and appearances by Oxford Street drag queens.
Set over two floors of National Art School, the Museum of Love & Protest (16 February to 4 March) is this year's signature event – an exhibition of iconic posters, images and rarely seen videos and footage, celebrating four decades (the highs as well as the lows) of Mardi Gras. But the deal clincher, is the "immersive" garden-like room upstairs where visitors will be encouraged to make origami butterflies, scribble their own Mardi Gras memories and add to an ever-evolving installation.
From the playwright of Holding the Man comes Strangers in Between – a tale of a naïve man who ends up on the streets of Kings Cross after fleeing his family. Daniel Lammin directs the award-winning play (14 February to 2 March), starring AACTA winner Simon Burke and Helpmann winner Guy Simon.
For one night only (28 February), the Art Gallery of NSW will go queer, with colourful performances, live music and renowned DJs, plus one of the world's most famous photographers Robert Mapplethorpe's homoerotic prints on the wall.

Apple Cup 2018
WSU's impact players
Cougars must rely on Minshew, Pelluer, RB's to make big time plays
Dylan Greene
TAYLOR DUNLAP, Evergreen sports editor
Heading into this year's Apple Cup the Huskies have a long history of beating the Cougars. However, this time around WSU has the right players to beat UW.
Here are a few key players that will determine whether the Cougs win the Apple Cup this year.
Peyton Pelluer
One of the key players on the defensive side is sixth-year linebacker Peyton Pelluer. Crimson and gray runs through his blood as he is a fourth generation Cougar football player and he will finish his career playing more games for the Cougars than anyone in history.
In his career at WSU, Pelluer has made 185 solo tackles and assisted with an additional 140 while also adding five sacks. So far Pelluer is making the most of his final year as he already has 44 solo tackles, 27 assisted tackles and three and a half sacks through 10 games.
The running backs
The running game in the 2018 season has been one of the key elements to the Cougars' success this year.
Freshman running back Max Borghi has made a name for himself in his first year here at WSU. Borghi has helped the team pick up yards both on the ground and in the air while receiving a somewhat limited amount of snaps.
Borghi has already tallied six touchdowns on the ground and four receiving through 10 games.
Alongside Borghi is redshirt junior running back James Williams who has made key plays in crucial games, including a touchdown run against then-No. 12 University of Oregon where he broke eight tackles to score.
Throughout his career at WSU, Williams has rushed for a total of 1,416 yards, racked up 1,330 receiving yards and found the end zone 23 times. This season, Williams has rushed for 437 yards and nine touchdowns and caught three touchdowns for 506 yards through 10 games.
Gardner Minshew II
Finally, the leader of the Air Raid offense team is quarterback Gardner Minshew II. Although he will only be here one season, Minshew has already left his mark on WSU and will go down in history not only for his ability on the field but also for his signature Mississippi mustache.
Minshew currently leads the nation with 3,852 total passing yards through 10 games, completing 364 out of 523 attempts for a 69.6 passing percentage. Minshew has passed for 29 touchdowns and rushed for three other scores through the first 10 games.
With a quarterback like that leading the Cougars along with the other key players, the Huskies will face a real challenge trying to pick up the Apple Cup victory this year.

Q: Problem with making mesh at runtime. (Unity3d) I'm trying to make mesh with Vector3 data from database at runtime.
Here is my code
private IEnumerator CreateShape()
{
    int count = 0;

    triangles = new int[x_size * y_size * 6];

    //index buffer
    for (int i = 0; i < x_size - 1; i++)
    {
        for (int j = 0; j < y_size - 1; j++)
        {
            triangles[((i * y_size + j) * 6) + 0] = i * y_size + j;
            triangles[((i * y_size + j) * 6) + 1] = (i + 1) * y_size + j;
            triangles[((i * y_size + j) * 6) + 2] = i * y_size + j + 1;
            triangles[((i * y_size + j) * 6) + 3] = i * y_size + j + 1;
            triangles[((i * y_size + j) * 6) + 4] = (i + 1) * y_size + j;
            triangles[((i * y_size + j) * 6) + 5] = (i + 1) * y_size + j + 1;
        }
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.01f);
    }
}

And check updates for updating Mesh data..
private void UpdateMesh()
{
    mesh.Clear();

    mesh.vertices = vertices;
    mesh.triangles = triangles;
    mesh.RecalculateNormals();
}

Vertices data has no problem, cuz i checked it with different way.
private void OnDrawGizmos()
{
    if (vertices[x_size * y_size - 1] != Vector3.zero)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < x_size - 1; i++)
        {
            for (int j = 0; j < y_size - 1; j++)
            {
                Gizmos.DrawSphere(vertices[i * y_size + j], .1f);
            }
        }
    }
}

Checked whether vertices data is wrong or not with gizmos but the data has no probs:

It should form a simple plane mesh shape, but it goes back to the start point and continue making in the middle of mesh-create-process..
What i expected:

But it goes wrong:

It seemed somehow internal index buffer calculation goes wrong..
Vertices data is about 160,000ea Vector3, and tris is also about 160,000*6 = 1,000,000ea integer.
Maybe the data is too much for making mesh while runtime at all..?
or.. the axis is changed when x value become larger than y value..?
Why this happens? How can i fix this?

A: As said per default meshes in unity have an index buffer of 16-bit (= UInt16) meaning the maximum index is 65535.
If you want to go higher (like with your mesh) you will need to change the Mesh.indexFormat to 32-bit (= UInt32), allowing a maximum index of 4294967295.
Note though that not all GPU support this!

Colossal Memnon
Hatshepsut temple
from Arabic Khurnak meaning "fortified village"), comprises a vast mix of decayed temples, chapels, pylons, and other buildings near Luxor, in Egypt. Construction at the complex began during the reign of Senusret I in the Middle Kingdom (around 2000–1700 BC) and continued into the Ptolemaic period (305–30 BC), although most of the extant buildings date from the New Kingdom. The area around Karnak was the ancient Egyptian Ipet-isut ("The Most Selected of Places") and the main place of worship of the Eighteenth Dynasty Theban Triad with the god Amun as its head. It is part of the monumental city of Thebes. The Karnak complex gives its name to the nearby, and partly surrounded, modern village of El-Karnak, 2.5 kilometres (1.6 miles) north of Luxor.
are two massive stone statues of the Pharaoh Amenhotep III, who reigned in Egypt during the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. Since 1350 BCE, they have stood in the Theban Necropolis, located west of the River Nile from the modern city of Luxor.[1][2]
also known as the Valley of the Gates of the Kings (Arabic: وادي ابواب الملوك Wādī Abwāb al-Mulūk),[2] is a valley in Egypt where, for a period of nearly 500 years from the 16th to 11th century BC, rock-cut tombs were excavated for the pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom (the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Dynasties of Ancient Egypt).[3][4]
The valley stands on the west bank of the Nile, opposite Thebes (modern Luxor), within the heart of the Theban Necropolis.[5] The wadi consists of two valleys: the East Valley (where the majority of the royal tombs are situated) and the West Valley (Valley of the Monkeys).[6][7]
Hatshpsut temple
is a mortuary temple of Ancient Egypt located in Upper Egypt. Built for the Eighteenth Dynasty pharaoh Hatshepsut, who died in 1458 BC, the temple is located beneath the cliffs at Deir el-Bahari on the west bank of the Nile near the Valley of the Kings. This mortuary temple is dedicated to Amun and Hatshepsut and is situated next to the mortuary temple of Mentuhotep II, which served both as an inspiration and, later, a quarry. It is considered one of the "incomparable monuments of ancient Egypt."[1]

Divan Singh, Bhai
Was born in 1888, the son of Bhai Hira Singh and Mai Pan Kaur of Pandori Nijjaran, in Jalandhar district. The family later shifted to Chakk No. 91 Dhannuana, in the newly colonized district of Lyallpur, now in Pakistan.
Divan Singh, an illiterate bachelor, made a name for himself in that area as a wrestler and as an intrepid fighter. As the Gurdwara reform movement picked up momentum, he took the vows of the Khalsa and decided to join the jatha or band of Akali volunteers marching towards Nankana Sahib.
His companions doubted if he would remain peaceful and keep the vow of non-violence to which the jatha had committed itself, but Divan Singh assured them that he would keep his word even in face of the gravest provocation. He was one of those who were burnt to death at Nankana Sahib by the hirelings of Mahant Narain Das.

Climbing Grier Mountain: Lauren Grier Helps Couples Cook Together With Travel-Inspired Recipes
Written by: Suzanne Wentley
Suzanne Wentley
Never bored, Suzanne Wentley is a freelance writer, marketing professional, yoga teacher, energy worker, pet sitter, full-time traveling minimalist, and vegetarian. Her favorite dates include a creative cocktail (preferably made of local fruit and without a plastic straw), laughter, and a beautiful sunset over the sea. Her website is thelovelightproject.com.
The Short Version: Lauren Grier loves to experience other cultures through food as she travels the world, and when she returns home, she creates unique, delicious recipes to share on her popular blog Climbing Grier Mountain — which offers plenty of inspiration for a great at-home date night. You can try her interesting twists on traditional meals while you spend quiet, quality time with that special someone. But the blog isn't all recipes, as Lauren provides context through stories of her adventures with her husband. Maybe she'll inspire you to go on a romantic getaway, too.
As someone who loves to cook while listening to music, I often find myself dancing in the kitchen with a date. I may twirl from the refrigerator to the stove and then back again, picking out ingredients and transforming them into a special meal to share.
I recently invited a guy over for a home-cooked meal, and it was one of the best dates I've had in a while. He put on some music, and we talked as I created a fresh vegetarian dish for us. We smiled over candlelight as we enjoyed our meals. Then he did the dishes, which is how I knew there'd be another date.
Lauren Grier started Climbing Grier Mountain as a way to share her creative recipes.
But my comfort level in the kitchen didn't come naturally. It took practice — and a fair amount of inspiration. Couples who want to learn how to create those memorable, mouthwatering date-night meals often turn to ClimbingGrierMountain.com for ideas. Lauren Grier, an avid world traveler with a passion for food, created the blog to share her meal creations with the world. The site is a perfect mix of twists on traditional recipes, inspiring travel stories, and plenty of fun.
"My cooking style is geared toward comfort food, and I weave in stories to make deeper connections," she said. "That's the reason I love to cook. It connects people, because, whether you're sharing story or memory, you're cooking from the heart."
Lauren takes her readers along on her culinary adventures, and helps them build the skills to share her inspired meals with a special someone.
Relying on Curiosity & Adventure to Inspire Her Recipes
Lauren decided to start a blog in 2009 after moving from Chicago to Denver with her husband. She had recently lost her job in the financial industry when the stock market crashed, and she decided it was a good time to learn how to cook. She intended to use the new hobby to keep busy while she looked for another job.
"I started watching the Food Network in between job interviews and teaching myself how to cook," she said. "I would create the recipes at home, and eventually I realized that if I can teach myself how to cook, I could teach others."
Lauren's cooking creativity produces tasty dishes inspired by her travels.
Food blogs weren't as prevalent in 2009, and Lauren quickly built a following with her unique style of mixing in stories of her travel adventures with recipes inspired by her life in Colorado. Readers soon learned how everyday experiences inspire delicious meals in the kitchen.
In 2016, Lauren wrote a cookbook based on her experiences called "Modern Comfort Cooking." The success of her website and cookbook allowed Lauren to leave her job and focus on writing full time.
From Foodies to Daters Looking for a World-Class Meal
Lauren said Climbing Grier Mountain caters to two main types of reader: the curious foodie and the person who wants to spice things up in the kitchen.
"I dabble on two lines to satisfy two different worlds. I have a lot of chefs and foodies that follow me because the recipes aren't just, say, basic potato salad. I'll do a Japanese potato salad or something with a little more international flavor. It's curiosity," she said. "But then, I appeal to a homemaker in the Midwest because I can take a spaghetti pie, a traditional Midwestern dish, and elevate it with a more modern spin."
"It's all about bringing traditional ingredients into more modern dishes to satisfy both chefs and homemakers." — Lauren Grier, Climbing Grier Mountain Founder
In fact, almost all of her recipes have a quirky kick. For example, her popular French onion soup is baked with zucchini noodles.
"It's all about bringing traditional ingredients into more modern dishes to satisfy both chefs and homemakers," Lauren said.
The website houses a well-organized recipe index that makes it easy to find everything from breakfast and brunch to soups and stews.
Bringing People Together With Quality Time in the Kitchen
Just as I love to chop vegetables with my special someone, Lauren encourages all couples to spend quality time cooking together to make a connection. The key is to keep it simple.
"Something creative that my husband and I do during the week is to look in the refrigerator and have a 'What you've got night,'" Lauren said. "We just take ingredients we have and create something. Some things have been total fails, but, to me, it's a lot of fun because it sparks creativity and there's no pressure. It gets you talking. You can come up with some really fun stuff, to tell you the truth."
Climbing Grier Mountain shows couples how to experiment in the kitchen and connect over a meal.
If you're not sure what to make with the blood oranges, duck fat, and farro you've got in your refrigerator, you can search the site's index by ingredient, as well. Gathering ingredients and cooking from scratch is much more creative and intimate than getting takeout.
"It's humbling to know that people take the time to make my recipes. That's why blogging is such a big deal, I deliver recipe creations directly to readers, and it's more of a long-term relationship," Lauren said. "That is something to be honored. You're not going to get that from a meal delivery service. I'm very flattered, and I like to learn more about people, and I get to see what inspires them."
Cookbooks, Recipes & Spices Planned for Climbing Grier Mountain
If you're one of the many readers who turns to Climbing Grier Mountain for inspiration, you'll want to check out Lauren's cookbook, which is available through the website. Because, sometimes, you want to keep the mobile device or laptop out of the kitchen.
"The cookbook is easy to grab recipes from while you're moving around the kitchen," she said.
In addition to new travel-inspired recipes, Lauren 's working on a new spice line to honor the tastes and flavors she's found on her adventures. She is also planning to teach culinary classes and encourages readers to take her recipes and make them their own.
"They'll add some more of this or that and customize it," Lauren said. "That's the beauty of recipes, you give people a foundation, and they can change whatever suits their palate."
Of course, every time she travels, she adds a section on the blog to share any tips or recipe inspirations that come from the destination. That way, her readers can make inspired dishes from Tokyo, Petra, or even Colorado for their next date night in.
