The Big Green Egg craze has taken over the grilling world. Professional barbecuers, chefs and home grilling enthusiasts have fallen in love with the versatility and ease of use that comes from a Big Green Egg. On its own that kamado style cooker is a grilling machine that is sure to impress, but add an accessory or two and you have just opened up a whole new world. BGE offers a huge line of accessories that Egg lovers have dubbed "eggcessories". From grill tables to cooking utensils they have thought of everything you could possibly want to complete your cooking arsenal. We have put together 5 of our favorite Eggcessories that every Egg owner should have at their disposal.
The ConvEggtor is our first pick. It transforms your Egg from direct heat to indirect heat; which basically means that you can use your BGE like an oven. Now you not only have a grill and a smoker, but you also have an outdoor oven. Just imagine cooking your favorite casseroles and pies all summer long without heating up your kitchen. The door for dinner options will be blown wide open. With evenly distributed heat and the precise temperature control that Big Green Eggs are known for, you will love your Egg far more than your oven.
A Big Green Egg pizza stone and pizza peel are up next on our list of must haves. Everyone loves a delicious slice of cheesy pizza with their favorite toppings. Cooking it on your BGE will add that rich flavor you would find in a pizza that has been cooked to perfection in a woodfired pizza oven. Pizza night just got a whole lot better with this Eggcessory.
It sounds basic, but the V-Rack is another must have accessory for your Big Green Egg. The V-Rack is a porcelain coated rack that can be used multiple ways. When it is in the upright position it can hold large roasts and poultry. When you flip the V-Rack over you can use it as rib rack to smoke your ribs to perfection.
Next up is the BBQ Guru. Part of what makes the BGE so great is its precise temperature control. This little gadget brings a little technology to the age old tradition of kamado style cooking. The BBQ Guru is a DigiQ DX2 temperature control system that holds the desired temperature in your Big Green Egg for hours on end. It even has a feature to gradually lower the cooking temperature so foods won't overcook! The BBQ Guru is also simple to operate so you don't need to be a techy to figure out how to use it. You could grill without one, but why would you want to?
Our list wouldn't be complete without cast iron cookware. Yep that old black cast iron that your grandmother used is a must have for your Big Green Egg. It gives you a huge variety of options. You can use it to saute veggies or cook breakfast one week and then sear fish and steaks to perfection the next. It is something you definitely won't want to do with out.
We know, you've made it this far without all of these things, but adding one, two or even all of these great eggcessories to your Big Green Egg, will help your Egg reach its full potential. Stop by the Aqua Pools showroom and let us show you just how much potential your BGE really has!

Magic: ManaStrike is a card combat game based on Magic: The Gathering
Netmarble has revealed Magic: ManaStrike, its first game based on the Wizards of the Coast franchise Magic: The Gathering. In development for mobile devices, it will be officially revealed during G-Star 2019 in Korea, taking place between November 14-17.
Magic: ManaStrike pits players against each other in synchronous battles with popular characters and spells from the franchise. Described as easy to play but hard to master, it could be compared to Minion Masters, as you are facing your rival and have to destroy his tower to win the match.
Don't Miss: Crimson Desert is the next MMORPG from Black Desert developer Pearl Abyss
Collecting cards and fighting opponents live will reward you with more cards to improve your deck, enhancing your units along the way. The exact number of cards available wasn't revealed, but you should expect a substantial amount of creatures to summon.
"Working with Wizards of the Coast on Magic: ManaStrike was great, and we are proud of the experiences we built together to bring the brand to a whole new genre of gameplay," said Seungwon Lee, Chief Global Officer of Netmarble. "More details on Magic: ManaStrike will be shared soon. We want to assure fans our game acts as a fresh new addition to Magic: The Gathering, and we are eager to introduce what makes Magic: The Gathering special to even more players."
"We're thrilled to partner with Netmarble to bring Magic: ManaStrike to mobile gaming fans around the world," said Eugene Evans, VP, Business Development, Wizards of the Coast. "We were drawn by Netmarble's reputation as a global leader in mobile games and its known passion for putting a unique twist on the genre. As a new Magic-inspired experience, Magic: ManaStrike is an action-packed way to discover the Magic multiverse, and we can't wait to welcome new players to the community."

Alumna Published in National Journal
Cedarville News Alumna Published in National Journal
by Brandon Best, Public Relations Writer
A 2015 Cedarville University graduate recently had her work published in Creative Nonfiction, a national magazine that features long-form essays, micro-essays, interviews with writers and other resources.
Kathy Roberts, who majored in English and minored in creative writing at Cedarville, penned a piece titled "Hiking the Grand Tetons. Milking a Cow by Hand," which was featured in the fall 2015 issue of Creative Nonfiction.
It is not the first time Roberts has been published. As a senior, she published a collection of her favorite writings through the Cedarville University Digital Commons. The collection, called "On Navigating Life as a Deceased Lutheran Pastor's Daughter," was dedicated to her late father, Pastor Tom Roberts.
The collection includes original nonfiction pieces and poetry, which gives the reader insight into dealing with the pain of her father's death and the healing process that came after.
"My dad's death is by far the most impactful event of my life," said Roberts. "It changed the characters of my family, solidified his example for me, strained relationships, created emotional and financial difficulty and formed the bedrock of who I am."
Last year, Roberts' piece, "My Uncle: Handyman Who Never Left," was published in the June 2014 edition of Spittoon, an independent online literary quarterly that features original works in poetry, fiction and nonfiction of both well-known and up-and-coming writers.
"It is important to realize that writing is very much a Christian activity because God communicates with us creatively," she said. "One only has to flip through the Bible to deduce that God often chooses to communicate through narrative."
"Kathy never stopped working on the piece and the work paid off. We're proud of her," said Kevin Heath, Ph.D., chair of the Cedarville University Department of English, Literature, and Modern Languages. "We've had students win national writing awards and alumni who've gone on to succeed at top-tier M.F.A. programs, but Kathy is the first to have something accepted, while still an undergrad, in a publication as significant as Creative Nonfiction."
Located in southwest Ohio, Cedarville University is an accredited, Christ-centered, Baptist institution with an enrollment of 3,711 undergraduate, graduate, and online students in more than 100 areas of study. Founded in 1887, Cedarville is recognized nationally for its authentic Christian community, rigorous academic programs, strong graduation and retention rates, accredited professional and health science offerings, and leading student satisfaction ratings.

Q: JavaScript Date getTime() inconsistent I'm trying to implement a parser for the tablesorter plugin for jQuery and I have this strange behaviour with the getTime() value for dates. The following code:
var dateOne = '03/04/2010';
var dateTwo = '28/10/2008';
var dateOneTime = new Date(dateOne).getTime();
var dateTwoTime = new Date(dateTwo).getTime();
var diff = dateOneTime - dateTwoTime;

alert('dateOneTime: ' + dateOneTime + '\ndateOne: ' + dateOne + '\nDateTwoTime: ' + dateTwoTime + '\ndateTwo : ' + dateTwo + '\none - two: ' + diff);

Gives a getTime() result for the 2010 date as 1267 billion or so, and for the 2008 date 1271 billion. Therefore subtracting dateTwo from dateOne gives a negative number. Why is this? Surely the dateTwo value, being in 2008, should be smaller?

A: Date expects MM/DD/YYYY
You are passing in DD/MM/YYYY

A: By default, the format is mm/dd/yyyy.  Thus, 28/10/2008 is being interpreted as 04/10/2010.

A: When you initialize a date in JS via a string, it should be an RFC1123-compliant format - yours aren't.

A: new Date(dateTwo) is being interpreted incorrectly as April 10 2010 because the Date constructor is expecting MM/DD/YYYY instead of the DD/MM/YYYY you are passing.
try
var dateOne = '04/03/2010';
var dateTwo = '10/28/2008';

Carlos Beuso sentencing delayed again
Stuart Korfhage
skorfhage@staugustine.com
The much-delayed sentencing of Carlos Bueso was put off yet again Friday morning.
Bueso, 29, has entered a plea of no contest to two counts of DUI causing death. He was scheduled to be sentenced by Judge Michael Traynor, but the case was instead continued because a court-ordered pre-sentence investigation report was not done.
His new sentencing date is June 4, but Traynor indicated that he would likely find an earlier date to complete sentencing.
It's another in a long list of delays for the case.
Bueso is accused of being responsible for an April 17, 2011, crash on Country Road 13 South near Cowpen Branch Road that killed passengers John Michael Currier and Sharon M. Pallett, both of St. Augustine.
The St. Johns County Sheriff's Office said toxicology reports showed Bueso had a blood alcohol content of .249 - three times the legal limit - and had cannabis in his system.
In January, Bueso entered his plea with the agreement that he would be sentenced to 10-15 years in prison.
But instead of being sentenced, Bueso filed a motion to withdraw his plea and requested a new attorney, accusing Gary Smolek of the Public Defender's Office of withholding discovery.
In his last appearance, Bueso decided to withdraw the motion and revert back to the plea arrangement. Smolek is once again representing Bueso.


I thought I would put out an alert on this possibility.
Rumors are floating around something big happens tomorrow. I've heard a number of possibilities such as Julian Assange, N. Korea, Pizzagate, Spygate, Congressional spy ring and the Cabal.
Supposedly whatever it is, its suppose the YUGE and world changing.


Hi there! It's Sonja from Sustain My Craft Habit. If you've been by our blog you might have caught that we love to make stuff with driftwood. From a DIY hanging rope shelf with driftwood, a driftwood mirror and even a driftwood Christmas tree, we find all kinds of fun ways to use this natural resource.
Recently Jane was slicing driftwood pieces to make buttons with. Many of them did not meet her high standards (some might say she's a bit picky). However, the driftwood rounds were all so naturally beautiful that I had to come up with a way to use them. This idea, to display them in a functional DIY serving tray came to mind.
I love how the EnviroTex Lite accentuates and showcases the natural colours and designs of the driftwood pieces. It's created such a smooth, glossy surface that looks like glass. The best part is that while the driftwood slices are all different depths, the resin creates a flat, durable surface making the serving tray completely functional. So let's get started with making yours!
Paint your wood tray in any color of your choosing. We used Dark Denim from Americana Decor Satin Enamels, which provided a strong, durable finish with a light sheen. Once painted, put it aside to dry fully before moving onto the next step.
Safety first! Make sure you have all the necessary protective equipment when using power tools. Using a mitre saw, cut a variety of different sized driftwood pieces into a range of thicknesses from ¼" to ⅝". It's important to use driftwood formed from hardwood versus softwood to get a smooth surface.
Cut enough slices to fully cover your tray. It's a bit of a jigsaw puzzle so be sure to cut extra pieces for working with.
Sand the rough cut edges of the driftwood slices and wipe away any sawdust.
Using a paintbrush, apply all-purpose sealer to the bottom side of the driftwood slices.
Working in small sections, coat the tray with glue/sealer as well as the underside of the driftwood slice. Place them onto the serving tray one at a time.
Continue to add the driftwood slices until your serving tray is fully covered. Get creative with use different sizes, depths and colours of wood slices.
Once the driftwood slices are set in place, use a paintbrush to apply a coat of all-purpose sealer to the tops and sides of all the driftwood slices. Take your time with this step to ensure you don't miss any pieces. You can see some of the pieces that I missed turned a different color after the resin was poured on.
Once the piece is fully sealed, leave it to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
Work in layers until your piece is fully covered. For this particular piece, it took 3 layers of Pour On resin before all of the driftwood pieces were fully covered.
Mix exactly equal amounts of Resin and Hardener into one measuring cup. The size of your piece will determine how much resin you need. In my case, I filled the cup up as much as possible as my tray is fairly large size. Stir continuously for 2 minutes, scraping the sides of the container.
Using the stir stick, dip your stick into the EnviroTex mixture and then begin pouring the resin over top of your piece. Pour evenly from one side to the next. The resin will settle and level itself out but try to fill the spaces in between the driftwood as best you can. Lift the tray and tilt it back and forth to help the resin level out.
Cover to keep dust from settling in. Ensure your tray is placed on a level surface. After about 15 minutes, remove any bubbles that have risen to the surface by gently blowing over the piece through a straw or using a small kitchen torch. Repeat if necessary after another 15 minutes and up to about an hour all the bubbles are popped. Use a clean straw each time to avoid moisture from your breath collecting inside the straw and transferring onto the piece.
Check your piece to see if the driftwood pieces are fully covered. If the resin surface is smooth and flat, then there is no need for another layer of resin.
In my particular case, I needed more resin so I repeated the 1st layer steps from the day before.
Since some of my driftwood pieces were pretty thick, I ended up needing a 3rd layer of resin. I repeated the 1st layer steps from the previous days to add my final layer of resin. As it hardens, the resin is self leveling but I wanted to help it along so I brushed some of the driftwood surfaces with a small clean crafting brush right after pouring.
Cover and allow to cure fully (~72 hours) before using.
I absolutely love how this piece turned out! The high gloss resin is the perfect contrast to the natural and rustic driftwood slices. I'm picturing this same idea on a larger scale, as a side table or beach-themed coffee table. However, Jane is already clamoring for a DIY serving tray of her own, so I may just need to make it as a Christmas or birthday gift for her.
We hope you enjoyed this DIY serving tray tutorial using EnviroTex Lite Pour-On Resin. We'd love for you to check out these other tutorials of ours including this leafy DIY resin paperweight and these beautiful lavender flower pendants.

St. Mary Medical Center is committed to providing high quality, compassionate health care to all patients, regardless of their ability to pay. Medically necessary care should not be delayed because you don't have health insurance or you're unable to pay your hospital bill. St. Mary Medical Center understands health insurance benefits are confusing. Most plans do not provide 100% coverage for a hospital bill. Each plan has its own set of rules, exclusions and services that are not covered.
It is important for you to get involved in your health care and become familiar with your specific benefit plan so you get the most out of healthcare. If you are unsure of your coverage for a particular medical procedure or test, you should call the customer service telephone number on your insurance card before scheduling a procedure.
Your insurance policy is a contract between you and your insurance company. As a service to you, St. Mary Medical Center will send a claim to your insurance company for all services we provide to you. By working together, we can minimize misunderstandings, payment delays and billing costs. Please be aware, you are responsible for any charges not covered by your benefit plan and St. Mary Medical Center provides counseling services to answer your questions prior to receiving service.
Depending on your plan, you may be required to get approval (pre-certification) before you receive hospital services. Even in a life-threatening situation, your benefit plan may require you to contact them within 24 hours of receiving hospital care. We will assist you in doing that, but if you don't obtain approval from your insurance company, you may be responsible for paying for your hospital care. Also, obtaining approval does not guarantee that the cost of the service is completely covered by your benefit plan. If St. Mary Medical Center does not participate in your insurance plan, you can in most cases still receives services at our facility. Please be aware, if your insurance does not participate with St. Mary Medical Center, your insurance company will consider our services as "out of network" and you will probably be responsible for paying more out of your pocket.
After you are discharged from St. Mary Medical Center, you will receive an itemized statement reflecting daily charges, including supplies and support services, such as x-rays and anesthesia. You will also receive separate statements/bills from the physicians involved in your care and treatment. This includes your physician, surgeons, pathologist who interprets laboratory test results, anesthesiologists who administer the anesthesia and radiologists who read and interpret your radiology exams and forward the results to your physician or the emergency room physician. Please see the list of "sub providers" and their contact information provided on our website.

Amino acids have rightfully received the title the building blocks of protein, (even the building blocks of life), as protein is contained in every single living cell in our bodies.
So what are exactly amino acids?
Protein is the main element involved in the formation and repair of our bones, muscles and skin. Now, when we take protein through red meat, nuts, poultry, fish, or dairy products, our body digests it, leaving amino acids.
Conditional which are usually not essential, except in case of illness or stress.
Our body uses amino acids to make protein and help our bodies grow, repair tissue, break down food, and perform a number of other important functions.
For the following article we've decided to extract the most important information on the essential amino acids, as well as several non-essential amino acids. These have managed to take the fitness world by storm in the past several years, due to the endless list of benefits that comes with them.
Are you wondering why they have been awarded with the epithet essential? Due to the fact that they are fundamental for our wellbeing. However, they cannot be synthesised from any of the materials found in our body, which means we have to get them from food.
Namely, if your body doesn't receive the sufficient amount of essential amino acids, it will start using its own proteins, which will lead to a gradual degradation of muscles and other organs.
An essential amino acid which helps our bodies repair torn tissue and promotes its growth.
When methionine is used in combination with vitamin B6, magnesium and zinc, it improves digestion, as well as sleep, that way promoting after-workout recovery. Thanks to its 4-ingredient formula, True ZMA Blend delivers essential minerals and vitamins to support optimal body functioning.
Branched Chain amino acids represent the combination of three essential amino acids: leucine, iso-leucine and valine. Though the three BCAAs can be found individually, they deliver the best results when taken as one amino acid supplement and this way they come in the correct ratio (2:1:2). Take our unflavored BCAA Powder for instance - it is a great workout fuel, as well as a recovery-promoting supplement. The best part is the fact that it is produced from vegetable-based fermentation processes.
A critical amino acid supplement popular among bodybuilders, and a primary supplement for growth and development.
Threonine is most important as its balance of protein and production of collagen and elastin, are the two most vital biding substances in our body.
As a serotonin precursor, it enters the brain cells to form it. As a supplement, it boosts serotonin production and thus increases our tolerance during a workout.
Among bodybuilders, you'll hear the benefits of phenylalanine in terms of muscle contraction and relaxation. Nevertheless, especially in combination with glutamine, the benefits are numerous.
Unlike essential amino acids, non-essential (and conditional) are produced in our body in the amount it requires for regular functioning.
Glutamine is a vital amino acid for maintaining a healthy immune system and gastrointestinal tract. At the same time it promotes retention and muscle growth. Since we've already covered glutamine on our blog, please refer to our quick guide to glutamine to learn more about its benefits.
By looking at its structure, glycine is by far the smallest amino acid.
Produced by the liver, asparagine represents one of the main components of glycoprotein synthesis.
Like the aforementioned asparagine, aspartate is synthesised in the liver as well, and is known to be a negatively charged amino acid.
According to the National Institute of Health, carnitine moves fatty acids into cell mitochondria in order to be burned for energy; and the more you burn, the more weight you will lose.
What is interesting to note about carnitine is that is not a real amino acid, but is classified as one due to its structure. It comes in four forms: L-carnitine, Acetyl-L-carnitine, D-carnitine and DL-carnitine.
P.S. Carnitine is also about to be covered as a separate topic on our blog, so stay tuned for more info on this amino acid and its forms.
The benefits of arginine are prominent among menopausal women, as its additional supplementation can reduce the common symptoms (eg. hot flashes) by improving blood circulation.
Cysteine represents a vital component of life, and among many things, bodybuilders praise its power to maintain a healthy metabolism.
Keeping an exact track of amino acids you take on a daily basis will be difficult and also unnecessary, if you vary your meals in such way that you include food rich in protein. Nevertheless, if you've skimmed through the above-listed sources of amino acids and noticed that you don't eat certain foods, either because you don't like the taste or your body cannot digest them, remember - it is not something that should worry you.
For instance, if you are lactose intolerant, vegan or vegetarian, certain foods which contain an abundance of protein never find their way to your plate. In that case, you are able (and highly advised) to supplement them with plant based proteins, or rather chemical supplements.
Let's take glutamine as an example - as most people get it from dairy products and meat, those whose nutrition plan doesn't contain either of the two are likely to possess lower levels of glutamine in their body. In that case you can opt for True Glutamine which is produced from vegetable-based fermentation and boosts most important muscle building functions.
Though amino acids are an essential element in every healthy dietary plan, it does not mean you need to find a place for them in every meal - the secret is getting a balance of amino acids over an entire day.
Certain foods, when consumed together, complete their protein profile (i.e. provide the body with all essential amino acids. Nevertheless, it is not necessary to remember all the food sources that can be found in them - eating an abundance of protein in most of your meals is enough. Focus on including whole grains and healthy fats and be sure you are covered for the day.
Plants vs. Animals: Which is The Best Source of Amino Acids?


Project-based learning (PBL) is a trendy term in education. The idea is that instead of worksheets or quizzes or even task cards students learn through projects. Certainly more interesting for students and teachers alike. But true advocates of PBL argue that project-based learning is not the same as projects.
I saw the graphic below the other day on Pinterest and it struck me as pretty helpful in explaining the difference.
For example when students do projects, the product is the same. I've been to many schools that say that they use PBL, but they are really doing projects. The walls were lined with matching scale drawings, matching pumpkins, and matching masks.
In PBL students are driving the learning. There is in some ways less structure as the project might be a community service project and so the how to and outcome are largely going to be shaped by obstacles and problems encountered during the project. It's more real-world but at the same time can miss valuable skills.
How does one do PBL and still get the content and skills required by common core? And how much can you differentiate so that students are choosing their projects? I have thoughts on the second one but am still working on number one. For those interested in project based learning in social studies, I found this website which has links to several ideas. Middle Web also ways in on PBL here.
Next week I'll share a story of a school that is doing true PBL. Do you do projects or project based learning? How do you meet standards with PBL? Share your stories or thoughts in the comments section below.
Thanks for the recommendation. I will check it out. I had not heard of Scottish Storyline.
I just ran the WWI trial that I linked up this past week and it was awesome! I love project based learning. "Stand and Deliver" is just not my thing :).
Looks like a great activity. Thanks for joining in the discussion.


This highly accessible introduction to?Lisp is suitable both for novices approaching their first programming language and experienced programmers interested in exploring a key tool for artificial intelligence research. The text offers clear, reader-friendly explanations of such essential concepts as cons cell structures, evaluation rules, programs as data, and recursive and applicative programming styles.
Amajor goal of the COMMON LISP committee was to define a Lisp language with sufficient power and generality that people would be happy to stay within its confines and thus write inherently transportable code. We argue that the resulting language definition is too large for many short-term and medium-term potential applications. In addition many parts of COMMON LISP cannot be implemented very efficiently on stock hardware. We further argue that the very generality of the design with its different efficiency profiles on different architectures works against the goal of transportability.
This book is intended for anyone who wants to become a better Lisp programmer. It assumes some familiarity with Lisp, but not necessarily extensive programming experience. The first few chapters contain a fair amount of review. I hope that these sections will be interesting to more experienced Lisp programmers as well, because they present familiar subjects in a new light.
This book is about learning to program in Lisp. Although widely known as the principal language of artificial intelligence research—one of the most advanced areas of computer science—Lisp is an excellent language for beginners. It is increasingly the language of choice in introductory programming courses due to its friendly, interactive environment, rich data structures, and powerful software tools that even a novice can master in short order.
Common Lisp is an \expression-oriented" programming language. A Lisp program consists of expressions, or forms. A form by itself is a program, but most programs are made up of many forms.A subtle, but far-reaching, consequence of the read-eval-print interpreter model is that all Lisp programs are in fact also Lisp data objects! For example, the \Hello World" program | (print "Hello World") | is a list containing a symbol and a string.
Finally, a Lisp book for the rest of us. If you want to learn how to write a factorial function, this is not your book. Seibel writes for the practical programmer, emphasizing the engineer/artist over the scientist and subtly and gracefully implying the power of the language while solving understandable real-world problems.
Lisp is the language of choice for work in artificial intelligence and in symbolic algebra. It is also important in the study of programming languages, because, since its inception over thirty years ago, it has had full recursion, the con- ditional expression, the equivalence of program and data structure, its own evaluator available to the programmer, and extensibility—the syntactic in- distinguishability of programmer-defined functions and "built-in" operators. It is also the paradigm of "functional," or "applicative," programming. Be- cause of the varied interests in Lisp, I have tried to present it in a general and neutral setting, rather than specifically in the context of any of the special fields in which it is used.
This document is intended for use with Corman Lisp, a Common Lisp development environment for Microsoft Windows operating systems running on Intel platforms. Corman Lisp consists of a Common Lisp native code compiler for Intel processors, 80x86 assembler and disassemble, incremental linker and multi-window text editor. It requires a system running a Microsoft Windows operating system (such as Windows ME, Windows XP, or Windows 2000). It is fully integrated with the Win32 API, and all the Windows API functions are readily available from Lisp.
Programming Clojure 2nd Edition。Clojure is one of the most interesting languages out there right now, and the best way of learning Clojure just got better. The second edition of Programming Clojure adds up-to-date information, plenty of practical examples, and a ton of useful tips on how to learn, work with, and succeed with Clojure.
