The Blarney Stone is just as nice as presented. The rooms were comfortable and spacious for this family of four. Very clean and stocked with the typical necessities. Great location of property - near parks, about 2 miles from downtown Oakland, Maryland and isolated for privacy as well. We would definitely stay again.
My friends and I rented this cabin for the Thanksgiving holiday. There were six of us in total - 3 couples - and the cabin was a perfect fit. Each couple had their own cozy bedroom, though we did spend most of our time in front of the fireplace. The kitchen was well stocked with the tools we needed for our Thanksgiving holiday, and the table, which seated six, seemed like it was almost made for our holiday dinner and playing games late into the night. While the heat from the fireplace rose to the second floor quite a bit, we spent most of our time on the first floor anyway and found that our bedrooms upstairs stayed a comfortable temperature when we had the doors closed. The surrounding area is beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay in the Oakland area!
Left on May 30, 2012 for a stay in May 2012 we loved the house, it was so beautiful.the wood all thru the house was very nice. the one thing that coulda been better, was the radio...need a stereo for up and down stairs with speakers...

Left on Oct 23, 2014 for a stay in Oct 2014 Blarneystone Manor outside Oakland, Maryland is a large (three bedroom, three bath) home which is relatively new, very well furnished and quite comfortable. There were six, including two children, in our group and we all enjoyed our stay there. A real plus is a game room in the basement with pool table, ping pong and foosball. It was great for a rainy afternoon. The driveway is steep and it took a little practice learning how to back out of the garage and head forward down the hill. We would definitely return to that area and to Blarneystone. This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
Left on Jun 3, 2016 for a stay in May 2016 The whole house was very clean & well organized. 3 couples of us were very pleased with the house itself. Sheets were also clean & plenty of towels. Everything u would expect in a house like this was there. We had a little camp fire in the back yard which all if us really enjoyed. I want to visit here one more time.

pleased Left on Jun 14, 2016 for a stay in Jun 2016 We loved the Blarney Stone Manor, everything was beautiful. The only issue we had was the upstairs bedrooms did not get or stay too cool. The air conditioner seems to be small for that size home. We think they should maybe add a tv in the living room and one in the master bedroom. Other than this it was beautiful. Thank you.

The Fellowship of Congregational Churches (FCC) is a small group of evangelical Churches found in five Australian states but mostly in NSW, being what could be regarded as the remnant of the Congregational Church in Australia. In 1977, most Congregational churches in Australia belonging to the Congregational Union, joined the Uniting Church. Only 27 churches in NSW, and smaller numbers in other states, chose to remain out of the Uniting Church and continue as Congregational churches. Therefore, the FCC is now almost 40 years old.
However the history of the Congregational church has an unbroken lineage back to the 16th Century and the Reformation in England. As men studied the Word of God, they came under the conviction of the Holy Spirit that the authoritative guide concerning spiritual things was Scripture alone. Many were also convinced that the church and the state should be separate entities. And so, when Queen Elizabeth the First proclaimed herself to be Supreme Governor of the church, as a reaction, the Puritans, who insisted on the purity of God's Word and on the church being separate from the state, came into being.
The outstanding principle was the principle of the gathered church. They said, "the church should consist only of those men and women who had consciously dedicated themselves to Christ and his service," as distinct from those who wanted to include all members of society in the church. It was this high and serious concept of church membership that distinguished the Congregationalists.
The Puritans tried to reform the Church of England, but in vain. In doing so, many were persecuted, imprisoned and even executed. It is said the biggest Congregational churches at that time were in London prisons.
Robert Browne, who is regarded by many as the 'Father of Congregationalism,' born around 1550, was on fire to declare far and wide his revolutionary ideas about the true nature and glory of the Christian church. He held secret meetings, where with fiery eloquence, he expounded his doctrine of the church and attacked the bishops and the clergy of the established church. He was arrested in April 1581 and imprisoned.
He was later released but continued his activities so he was arrested again. He wrote many tracts and even found himself in confrontation with other Puritans because while they wanted to reform the church, many wanted to stay within the law. But for Robert Browne, it was reformation at once and at any cost.
As a consequence, Browne had to leave England and he moved to Holland for a time, resulting in the Congregational church taking root in Amsterdam. When he eventually returned to England he was arrested and imprisoned another 32 times.
Many other Congregational preachers were imprisoned and some were executed for taking a stand against the Church of England including three very godly men, Henry Barrowe, John Greenwood and John Penry, a Welshman who was more an evangelist than church reformer. He was very concerned for the spiritual needs of Welsh people. Many regard Penry as the secret author of the Martin Marprelate Tracts. These were a series of tracts that lampooned and satirised the bishops.
It was the execution of godly men such as these that began such a reaction among English men and women that eventually the Act of Toleration was passed, allowing freedom of worship for English people.
Therefore, the Congregational church dates back to the 16th Century Reformation, being one of the earliest Protestant denominations. It has a rich heritage that has produced many famous churchmen.
Perhaps the best known Congregationalist is the pastor and author, John Bunyan who wrote the classic, 'Pilgrims Progress'. John Owen, perhaps the greatest English theologian, was a Congregationalist. He began as a Presbyterian but became a convinced Congregationalist. He was one of the delegates who helped draw up the Declaration of the Faith and Order Owned and Practised in the Congregational Churches in England in 1658. Congregationalists refer to that document as the Savoy Declaration.
Jonathon Edwards was a great 18th Century Congregational preacher who was instrumental in the Great Awakening in New England, America. Isaac Watts, who wrote so many great hymns of the faith was a Congregationalist.
Congregationalism, while having its beginnings in England, did not stay there. Congregationalists were involved in the beginnings of the London Missionary Society and were the major influence for much of its existence. LMS missionaries were the first to bring the gospel to the South Pacific Islands. David Livingstone and Robert Moffat were well known Congregational missionaries.
In more recent times, Congregational preachers have included Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones and Congregational evangelists such as Lionel B. Fletcher who impacted their generation for Christ. We have a campsite at Hazelbrook in the Blue Mountains NSW, that bears his name.
Even today, Congregationalists around the world are making their mark including David Wells, an American theologian, David Bryant of prayer concert fame. We have a wonderful heritage of Congregational men and women who have stood for the truth of the gospel while also proclaiming the autonomy of the local church.
While the first Congregationalists came to Australia in 1798, the first Congregational church wasn't formally established until 1822 in Tasmania by a layman, Henry Hopkins, who was distressed by the sad state of church life in the colony. This led to the calling of Rev. Frederick Miller from England in 1832.
The first recognised Congregational Church in NSW issued a call to the Rev. Charles Price, who began in 1833. Other States followed; South Australia – 1837, Victoria – 1838, Western Australia – 1845 and Queensland – 1858.
But, unfortunately, as with many denominations, liberalism, modernism and growing materialism influenced many in the Congregational church. Sadly, many Congregationalists turned from their heritage, away from the truth of Scripture, from the authority of God's word and in doing so, lost their spiritual fervour and their missionary zeal. Consequently, many churches went into decline. This didn't only occur in Congregational churches and so, partly due to this general decline, talks began in the 1930's about the union of Congregationalists, Methodists and Presbyterians.
It wasn't until 1977 that the Uniting Church came into being. For Congregational churches, it was up to each local church to decide what they would do. Each church voted whether to join the Uniting Church or remain as a Congregational church. Only 27 churches in NSW did not join the Uniting Church and they did so on theological grounds, the basic reason being that the document that formed the 'Basis of Union,' was considered weak in some areas, particularly regarding salvation and Scripture. For example, it did not clearly identify the Bible as God's inerrant and infallible Word.
Most of the Congregational Churches in NSW who did not join the Uniting Church, then formed the Fellowship of Congregational Churches. Since 1977, some of our smaller churches have closed. But others have joined us, including churches in Queensland, Tasmania, South Australia and Victoria.
We remain a small body of churches, but we are a Fellowship that stands for Congregational principles and the purity of the Word of God. And like the remnant of God's people that was preserved when Israel lost its land and was exiled, we believe God has preserved us for a purpose.

Blade's return is up to Marvel, says Wesley Snipes
By Amon Warmann published 25 May 16
A full decade before the Marvel Cinematic Universe even existed, there was Blade. Wesley Snipes left an indelible impression as the vampire-hunting antihero, and ever since Marvel reacquired the rights to the character there's been speculation on whether or not the Daywalker will make his MCU debut. Snipes took to Twitter to reiterate his desire to return to the role, and you can check out his thoughts below...
When it comes to another BLADE, there's always a possibility. 😁#SharpeningMyTeethMay 24, 2016
Balls in Marvels court...May 24, 2016
While Blade: Trinity is pretty awful, I'm a big fan of the first two outings in the franchise - especially Guillermo Del Toro's Blade II. Snipes was a perfect fit for the role back in the late 90's - and crucially, he's still in good shape - so it'd be great to see him back in the shades. Over to you, Kevin Feige...

Global Warming's Six Americas
Artwork by Michael Sloan
One of the first rules of effective communication is to "know thy audience." Climate change public engagement efforts must start with the fundamental recognition that people are different and have different psychological, cultural, and political reasons for acting – or not acting – to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Our research has identified "Global Warming's Six Americas": six unique audiences within the American public that each responds to the issue in their own distinct way.
Want to know which of the Six Americas you are in?
Take the short Six Americas Quiz!
The Alarmed are convinced global warming is happening, human-caused, an urgent threat, and they strongly support climate policies. Most, however, do not know what they or others can do to solve the problem. The Concerned think human-caused global warming is happening, is a serious threat, and support climate policies. However, they tend to believe that climate impacts are still distant in time and space, thus climate change remains a lower priority issue. The Cautious haven't not yet made up their minds: Is global warming happening? Is it human-caused? Is it serious? The Disengaged know little about global warming. They rarely or never hear about it in the media. The Doubtful do not think global warming is happening or they believe it is just a natural cycle. They do not think much about the issue or consider it a serious risk. The Dismissive believe global warming is not happening, human-caused, or a threat, and most endorse conspiracy theories (e.g., "global warming is a hoax").
The six audiences were first identified using a large nationally representative survey of American adults conducted in the fall of 2008. The survey questionnaire included extensive, in-depth measures of the public's climate change beliefs, attitudes, risk perceptions, motivations, values, policy preferences, behaviors, and underlying barriers to action. The Six Americas are distinguishable on all these dimensions, and display very different levels of engagement with the issue.
The Six Americas Over Time
There has been a significant change in the distribution of the Six Americas over the past five years. The Alarmed segment has more than doubled in size (from 11% to 26% of the U.S. adult population) between 2015 and 2020, while the Dismissive segment has decreased by nearly half (from 12% to 7%). Overall, Americans are becoming more worried about global warming, more engaged with the issue, and more supportive of climate solutions.
A look back at how the Six Americas have changed over the past decade (see animation) shows that the largest group, the Concerned, grew quickly from 2013 to 2015, but has declined slightly since then. The Alarmed, in contrast, experienced more rapid growth during the past five years than any of the other groups. Meanwhile, the Cautious, Doubtful, and Dismissive have been shrinking in recent years.
Since 2008, we have conducted many additional studies on these six audiences, including:

Q: Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException: Error getting value from 'MyEntity' on 'Castle.Proxies.SalonProxy' Hi everyone, I have Asp.Net Core Web API project that is using Entity Framework Core 6.0 and Postgresql as a database
I configured my entities and their relation. Everything is fine, but there is only problem in Generic Repository Design Pattern
If I use just context.Products.ToList(), it is working perfect. But whenever I am using it with Generic Repository Design Pattern. I got an error. But there is an interesting thing. Whenever I use break point just 10 seconds or even more and I keep it up after 10 seconds, there is no error. Everything is working perfect. Is there Asynchronous problem, I never used it ?

            });
            return include.ToList();
        }
    }

And I run this method from my business layer
_salonDal.GetAll(t => t.Seats,t => t.Tickets)

But I realized this way it is not efficient. Generic Repository base should use fundamentals entities. That's my opinion

Q: Why isn't `std::compare_three_way` a `std::strict_weak_order`? With C++20 concepts and three-way-comparison, I have made my own Map like this:
template<
    typename TKey,
    typename TValue,
    std::strict_weak_order<TKey, TKey> KeyComparer = std::compare_three_way, // Error: template constraint not satisfied
    typename PairAllocator = std::allocator<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>>
>class SortedMap

When SortedMap initializes, it failed with error template constraint not satisfied.
Modify std::strict_weak_order to typename then it's ok. (Error comes here certainly.)

Why doesn't std::compare_three_way satisfy std::strict_weak_order?

A: std::strict_weak_order<R, T, U> requires R to be a predicate - that invoking R on objects of types T and U gives you bool. But std::compare_three_way does not return bool, it returns one of the comparison categories that are the result of <=> (e.g. std::strong_ordering).
There is currently no concept in the standard library for if something is an invocable that returns a comparison category (in the same way that strict_weak_order is the the concept generalization of using <).
So either:

*

*You build your map on top of three-way comparisons and do everything accordingly. This means writing your own concept for a three-way comparing object. Something like this would do:

template <typename T, typename Cat>
concept compares_as = std::same_as<std::common_comparison_category_t<T, Cat>, Cat>;

template <typename R, typename T, typename U>
concept three_way_order = std::regular_invocable<R, T, U>
  && compares_as<std::invoke_result_t<R, T, U>, std::weak_ordering>;

This would reject partial orders - which means you can't have double as a key (or rather couldn't use <=> as the comparison directly, users would have to provide a custom comparison function to reject NaNs or some such). If you want to to handle partial orders in your container directly, change std::weak_ordering to std::partial_ordering above.
Or

*You build your map on top of < as std::map does, and so you would use std::less<> or std::less<Key> as your default comparison type. Since x < y can rewrite to (x <=> y) < 0 anyway, this would still use <=> if that is the way that < is implemented. But in your container implementation, you would just get a two-way comparison result (i.e. bool) instead of a three-way comparison result (e.g. std::strong_ordering).

While working as a Certified Pediatric Registered Nurse at the Children's Hospital the last 12 years on a general medical surgical unit, I saw many children suffering from autoimmune disease. It broke my heart to see these children so sick at such a young age. It's just not fair to have to think about being sick when you're a kid. You should be worrying about what toy you're going to play with next, not when you're going to have to come back to the hospital. The resilience in their spirit is amazing to see. Don't get me wrong, these kids have really bad days and suffer a great deal, but one thing that I noticed was seeing the disease weaken their body but not their spirit. When I looked in their eyes I didn't see a sick child. I saw a strong soul, stronger than any adult, and that is something I will always remember.
During my studies on autoimmune disease the last few years, I learned that there are things you can do to help prevent and help lessen the effects of autoimmune disease naturally. I am not saying you can cure your autoimmune disease, but I am saying there are things you can do to help fight for remission. I'm a firm believer that you should treat the underlying cause of an illness, not just mask it with a short-term solution. While I fully support and am grateful for modern medicine, this is where they sometimes get it wrong.
An autoimmune disease is caused by an overactive immune system. Normally the body attacks foreign invaders like viruses or bacteria. This is not the case in an autoimmune condition. In the case of an autoimmune disease, the body attacks normal cells. Often times people are given steroids which suppress the immune system, and help decrease the inflammation. Some examples of autoimmune diseases are Crohn's, Ulcerative Colitis, Eczema, Lupus (SLE), Multiple Sclerosis, Type 1 Diabetes, Grave's Disease, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Vasculitis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Autoimmune Hepatitis, etc….
What can I do to help improve my Autoimmune disease or help prevent an Autoimmune disease naturally?
Reduce Toxin Exposure– Reducing the exposure to toxins in your everyday life isn't an easy task. We are exposed to them constantly in and outside the home. While we can't really do much about breathing in the pollution outside the home, we can improve the air quality inside the home. The Environmental Protection Agency studies have shown that indoor pollution can be 3-70 times higher than outdoor polution. Much of this is due to chemicals leaching out of the bottles of your cleaning products, paint cans, and other toxic products. I recommend getting rid of all caustic chemicals in your home to reduce the load on your immune system. Your body is constantly working to rid itself of toxins and if you can help reduce the work load, your body will run more efficiently. My family shops with a highly reputable online health and wellness company, that carries all our personal care and household items at wholesale cost. They are all toxin free and work just as well as any chemical brand. If you would like more information please contact me. I would be glad to get you information. It's really about making educated decisions when you're at the store.
Correct Vitamin D Deficiency -Autoimmune diseases are more common in people with low vitamin D levels and much less common in those with higher levels. While low vitamin D levels don't cause autoimmune disease, it does seem to serve a permissive role in allowing the disease to proceed. A blood level of 60-70 ng/ml is what you want to aim for. Most people who don't take a Vitamin D supplement tend to run between 20-30 ng/ml. When you look for a supplement be sure it is in gel form or liquid not a tablet and that it is in the form of D3 cholecalciferol. Most people need between 4000-8000 units per day. Make sure you ask your doctor to check a level every year with your annual physical.
Take An Omega 3 Supplement– Not all omega 3 supplements are created equal. Be sure you are getting DHA+EPA that equals about 3600 mg per day divided in two. Omega 3 has been shown to decrease inflammation in the body.
Take a Daily Probiotic and Prebiotic– People with autoimmune disorders usually have bad gut flora. Everyone has good bacteria in their gut, but some have more than others. Processed sugar and grains feed bad gut flora which can lead to permeability and leaky gut. This is when tight junctions in the small intestine don't work properly and allow gut contents to leak into the bloodstream. Taking a good quality probiotic is key. Many probiotics are quite frankly a waste of your money and you would have to eat about 10 cups of yogurt a day to get what you need from food alone. Look for a brand with at least 10 billion colonies per dose. Contact me if you would like more information on good brands. Prebiotics are the food that feed the probiotics. If you don't feed the good bacteria, it's like not fertilizing your garden, nothing grows properly. Dr. William Davis talks more about prebiotics here.
Eat Clean and Exercise- Reduce your intake of processed foods. Eat foods that don't come in a box. Eating food without a label is always a good rule to follow. If it has less than five ingredients on the label it's generally ok to eat. Another good rule to follow is, if you can't pronounce something on the label, it probably isn't good for you. Eat organic when ever possible and get plenty of exercise. Thirty minutes three times a week of just walking outside is all you need. Exercise has been shown to reduce stress, and stress has been known to aggravate an autoimmune condition.
I truly hope these suggestions help you or a loved one who may be struggling with an autoimmune disease. This subject is near and dear to my heart as I was diagnosed a few years ago with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. My husband also had the beginning signs of Crohn's disease but by giving up gluten and following the tips above, he healed his gut. My hope is that by educating on prevention, and treating the underlying cause, we can reduce autoimmune disease rates.
*As always talk with your doctor before making any new changes to your diet or before taking any new supplements.

Airlines, industry face weather woes
by Michele LeTourneau December 1, 2017
The strange weather pattern blowing hot air over Baffin Island, creating melts, rains and blizzards from one week to the next, hit air carriers hard over these last few weeks.
"There have been 162 flights cancelled out of Iqaluit between Oct. 1 and Nov. 27," said First Air's manager of marketing and communications Dan Valin.
"This compares with 58 cancelled flights in the same period in 2016."
The jet stream coming from the west, descending into the Kivalliq region and rising up again into the Baffin region, has created an intense weather pattern, or heat engine, with weather havoc on both sides of the trough, shown here as the green tear-drop shape over the Hudson Bay. Environment Canada predicts more of the same wacky weather into mid-December.

Valin says it's not yet possible to measure the financial impact.
"But obviously there is cost involved in re-planning flights," he said.
Meanwhile, over at Canadian North, communications manager Kelly Lewis declined to share numbers.
Noting the past month has been "blustery", Lewis said, "while the majority of our Iqaluit flights have operated without interruption over the past month, we have had to cancel or delay some of our flights due to poor weather or runway conditions."
Many Nunavummiut have experienced the mid-air turnaround or fly-over due to weather. Both carriers say those decisions are made on-the-fly, as weather develops. Both cite safety first.
"Weather conditions have been similar throughout much of the Baffin Island region over this time period with many communities being impacted," said Valin. "Essential cargo deliveries have often been delayed as a result of the poor weather."
Lewis said, "Tasks such as loading passengers and cargo, de-icing aircraft and clearing ramps and runways generally take longer in poor weather, which can lead to delays. We will sometimes hold our jet flights for delayed connecting flights from the communities to keep our passengers moving."
To catch up, First Air says it adds extra services as quickly as possible to meet backlog, while Canadian North noted the versatility of its Combi aircraft, "so we are able to continually adjust the ratio of passengers and cargo to meet continually changing needs."
"We may also add in extra flight sections to clear backlogs when possible and necessary, such as we are doing for our Cambridge Bay and Kugluktuk service this week," said Lewis.
Meanwhile, up-island, Baffinland – which operates the Mary River iron mine – is generally unaffected.
"This year in particular, while Iqaluit and much of region has faced severe weather challenges and shutdowns over the last month, Baffinland has generally been operating as per usual," said spokesperson Jason Leite.
"Since we transitioned from a project to an operation, we have continued to learn new ways to overcome the challenges of working in the High Arctic, including dealing with weather challenges."
While health and safety are always the priority, said Leite, good planning and protocols have been established.
"If there is ever a risk to the health and safety of our employees or the environment due to bad weather, our operation is shut down and our standard flights are delayed. Flight delays, both for our employees from the northern communities, and our southern employees, are unavoidable when working in the Arctic," Leite said.
"We are also prepared with extra food, fuel, and other supplies on site to deal with any long-term weather-related shutdowns."
Leite adds: "From a production standpoint, we budget for bad-weather days in our production forecasting and targets, so the approximate amount of shutdowns are forecasted and accounted for."

Last phase of city centre revamp to begin
Gateway: The last phase of a city centre revamp is about to begin, paving the way for advanced works proposed.
The last phase of a £100,000 city centre revamp project is set to begin this week, improving the area between the train station, St Mary's Street and High Street.
Local contractor John Martin Hoyes Ltd should fit dropped kerbs and tactile paving at the entrance to the St Mary's Street railway station car park.
Dropped kerbs and tactile paving should also be installed near to Candy News, on the opposite side of the train station.
Land at the end of Sincil Street, near Imp Travel, is being revamped to feature a paved area and better parking facilities for cyclists.
Additionally, railings and signage have also been refurbished says Lincoln BIG, who works on the so-called Gateway Project with the City of Lincoln Council.
The revamp also saw trees near the city's taxi rank in St Mary's Street pruned and shrubs have been replanted.
The Gateway Project is designed to keep the city centre looking good while developers try to make progress on the proposed Lindongate scheme.
The first phase of the Gateway scheme added floral displays in the Sincil Street area. Grants were approved for improvements to shop fronts and toilets were upgraded.
With financial support from the ERDF events and activities were organised in the City Square, including fun days, a beach and the festive Ice Rink.
Lincoln BIG chief executive Matt Corrigan said: "We are delighted to be working with the City of Lincoln Council to brighten up this busy part of the city.
"Lindongate promises to be a really exciting investment and it is vital to keep the area looking good and to encourage local businesses to make their premises as attractive as possible while progress can be made on this major retail development."
Marc Jones, Deputy Leader of the City of Lincoln Council said: "I'm really pleased that the council has been able to work with Lincoln BIG and that we've been able to put some much-needed resource into that part of the city.
"It's important that we look after the traders that are there now, and revitalise this part of the city while the major development gears up."

Secure your home from opportunistic burglars #DontMakeItEasy
In many residential burglaries, the doors or windows have been left either open or unlocked.
Sadly, there are opportunistic criminals who take full advantage in these moments.
With the dark nights and mornings, and as winter continues, it's important to take the appropriate steps to securing your home as best as possible.
Make sure all doors and windows are closed and locked when you're not in the room.
Consider investing in a burglar alarm or security lighting. Both can be a great deterrent for both your home and outbuildings.
Never leave anything of value on show, this may tempt thieves to your property. This includes car keys.
If you conceal valuables in your home, avoid obvious hiding places such as your sock drawer. Burglars are wise to these tricks.
If you are going to be away from your home for a long period of time, including going on holiday, consider installing a light on a timer switch which comes on in the evening.
It's wise to only tell family and immediate friends that you are going away, and not to talk about any planned holidays on social media.
If you receive regular deliveries, these could be cancelled so they don't build up on your doorstep – this is a giveaway sign that no one is home and hasn't been for a while.
As many burglars and thieves are opportunistic, their motive is generally to get in, get something out of value, and then to get out as fast as possible. The steps above can help to conceal and to prevent your house being burgled by an opportunistic criminal.

Louth boy enjoyed bedtime chat with grandma before being stabbed to death
Boulton 'sent ex nearly 900 messages' week before he killed her
Daniel Boulton has been charged with murdering Bethany Vincent and her nine-year-old son Darren Henson.
A Louth mum and her young son were stabbed to death by her ex-partner after enjoying a happy bedtime chat with the boy's grandmother, a jury heard on Wednesday.
Daniel Boulton, 30, admits the manslaughter of his former girlfriend Bethany Vincent, 26, and nine-year-old Darren Henson but denies their murder.
Bethany and Darren, known to his family as DJ, were both found stabbed to death at their home in High Holme Road, Louth, shortly after 8pm on May 31.

Caroline Vincent, Bethany's mother and DJ's grandmother, today (Wednesday) gave evidence on the third day of Boulton's trial at Lincoln Crown Court.
Mrs Vincent gave her account from a witness box just a couple of metres from the glass panelled dock where Boulton listened to her evidence.

She described how her last contact with Bethany and DJ was in a bedtime Facetime conversation on the evening they were killed.
Asked by Katherine Goddard QC, prosecuting, how they seemed Mrs Vincent replied: "They were very happy.
"DJ had his Chelsea football top on, he was going to sleep in it."
A GoFundMe page was set up to raise money towards the funerals of alleged Louth murder victims Bethany Vincent and Darren Henson.
Mrs Vincent revealed Bethany was due to move house just four days later.
The jury heard Bethany began seeing Boulton in March 2019 and the relationship initially went well.
But the prosecution allege Boulton became increasingly violent towards Bethany and that following a complaint to police he was ordered not to contact her but "repeatedly broke it".
| Photo: John Aron
The court heard Bethany's previous relationship with DJ's father, Kieran Henson, broke down when he was just a toddler, but Mrs Vincent described him as an "excellent dad" who would see his son on weekends and in the holidays
Mrs Vincent said Boulton initially "seemed a nice smart lad".
The good period lasted for "some months," until Bethany became distant, and gave up her job, Mrs Vincent told the jury.
"She didn't want me to go round as much," Mrs Vincent added. "He [Boulton] was staying a lot."

Mrs Vincent said she began to notice other changes.
"He [Boulton] was always with her, we didn't seem to get much time with her, " Mrs Vincent told the jury. "He was quite possessive over her."
The jury heard DJ was diagnosed with autism when he was two-and-a-half years old. Mrs Vincent said Boulton initially seemed fine with DJ but that changed later in the relationship.
"He [Boulton] said to us once he didn't think DJ was autistic, he was just naughty."
Mrs Vincent said the relationship became "on-off" and she would try to visit her daughter when Boulton wasn't there.
"I knew he wasn't treating my daughter properly," Mrs Vincent told the jury. "He didn't like me."

Mrs Vincent added: "He was never nasty, [about DJ] but he would say 'DJ was picking on him.' "
Mrs Vincent told the jury about one incident where her daughter called the police after moving to High Holme Road in Louth.
She described how during her visit Boulton gripped his fists and repeated "I am Dan."
"Bethany ended up on the sofa. He [Boulton] was leaning over her.
"Bethany managed to get the phone and called the police."
When asked to describe how Boulton was acting Mrs Vincent replied: "Angry, loud, nasty."
She added: "I was scared the situation she was in."

Following the incident Boulton was prevented from contacting Mrs Vincent and her daughter by an injunction, the jury heard.
Mrs Vincent said from that day she understood her daughter's relationship with Boulton had ended, adding, "I got my daughter back."
It is alleged that in the weekend before the stabbings Boulton sent nearly 900 messages to Bethany on Facebook.
Ms Goddard said Boulton had also developed a "hatred" for DJ – who had autism.
On May 31, the day of the attack, she said Boulton walked 28 miles from his home in Skegness to Bethany's home in High Holme Road where he repeatedly stabbed her and DJ.

When police arrived at the property they found Bethany in the front room and DJ lying on the floor in his bedroom.
Ms Goddard said both had been stabbed and there were also "marks consistent with blunt force trauma".
The court heard Bethay and her son had been due to move to an address unknown to Boulton just a few days later.
Ms Goddard said that officers also found a nine-month old baby crawling around the house "untouched and unharmed but clearly distressed".
Jurors heard that after the attack Boulton had spent the night on the run.
Ms Goddard said at one stage he broke into an empty cottage at Hubbards Hills, on the outskirts of Louth, where he stole some alcohol, clothing and food and left a note saying "I, Daniel Boulton, take full responsibility".
The court heard the next day he assaulted off-duty police officer PC Stephen Dennis who was walking his dog near Hubbards Hill, Louth, and tried to detain him.
Boulton was later cornered in a barn and tasered after trying to get some of the armed officers to shoot him, the court heard.
Ms Goddard told the jury there is "no dispute" Boulton stabbed both victims, but that he claims he was "suffering from a recognised mental condition which substantially impaired his ability to form a rational judgement and exercise self-control".
Boulton, of Alexandra Road, Skegness, denies murdering Ms Vincent and her son.
Angus Shaw, the club president of Ollie's former local team Kesteven Rugby Club, said: "We are overwhelmed with joy at Ollie's selection. It's testament to his hard work and talent that at 21 he's been recognised as worthy of rubbing shoulders with legends of the game.
"Ollie's selection comes in the same week fellow Black Army player Geordie Irvine made his debut for England U20s. Both Ollie and Geordie are home-grown talents and they have made our club family, as well as their actual families, very proud.
"We wish them all the luck in the world as they take their first steps into the international arena.
"In the 75 years history of the Club, we've never had a full international coming through our ranks. Like buses, we seem to have two come along at once!"

Stephen Weaver, the Head of Cooperation of the Embassy of Canada to the country visited Palawan on Thursday to assess the impact of the implementation of the employment facilitation program "Jobstart Philippines".
Jobstart Philippines, which is being funded by Canada, is a flagship program of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) to improve employment facilitation systems through interventions that can support regulatory reviews, capacity expansion, and policy development in Public Employment Services Offices (PESOs).
Bong Lopez, manager of the City PESO, said it is designed to carry out a pilot project that would assist the school-to-work transition.
He said Weaver visited the three establishments in Puerto Princesa that partnered with Jobstart on the training of selected at-risk youths, namely: Sitel Philippines, Palawan Adventist Hospital, and Astoria Hotels and Resorts Palawan.
Weaver reportedly asked the beneficiaries if Jobstart has been effective in making them learn the basic skills they need to be qualified for hiring.
These include learning how to properly write resumes, how to market themselves to potential employers, and what appropriate attitudes should be displayed at work.
"Kinausap sila (trainees) under the Jobstart Philippines kung may natutunan sila. Positive naman ang response, dahil natuto sila ng mga skills na kailangan nila sa employment," he said.
Lopez disclosed that among the positive results that Weaver discovered during his evaluation was the absorption to work of some 18-24 young individuals to the three establishments.
"Like Sitel, may mga na-regularize na employees doon as part ng trainees Jobstart. Sa Adventist Hospital, nagtapos na sila ng technical training and internship, and then sa Astoria Hotels and Resorts Palawan, nagtapos na rin ang technical training nila. Majority of our Jobstart trainees in Astoria Hotels and Resorts Palawan ay 21 or 22 out 32 ay mare-regularize na," he said.
Those under the program will have to go through Life Skills Training, Technical Training, and the Internship, which will be for done for three months with a daily allowance of P200 each.
"May P200 silang allowance from DOLE for the trainee. Ang life skills training, then technical training first and after that, proceed sila sa internship," he said.
But he also said that while the program is helpful in making the youth employable, it is not yet implemented throughout Palawan, especially in the municipalities.
This is because they do not yet have the required number of employers, which is necessary to become a partner of Jobstart.
"Ang problema kasi hindi lahat may enough na employers para sa program. Hindi pa iyon nai-implement doon. Dito lang ito sa Puerto Princesa ginaganap since 2016 because maraming employers sa lugar," Lopez said.


Update include: Sara Rue, Simon Baker and Ian McShane all land pilots; ABC adds five projects to its pilot roster; and Jason Bateman to direct FOX's "The Inn."
The first episode of the second season will be available through the CBS Audience Network and in addition, can be seen on such sites as Yahoo, Amazon Unbox, NetFlix and MSN.
The winner of "television's first scary competition reality show" will win a grand prize of $66,666.

Suppliers Tout Speed, Efficiency at CADM
CHICAGO — If new products, services or clients are an indication of health, then direct marketing in the Midwest is on the mend.
Exhibitors at the Chicago Association of Direct Marketing's 51st Annual DM Days & Expo last week were equipped with brochure and spiel to tout what's new with them. What stood out was the emphasis on newer, quicker and more efficient technology to aid targeted marketing.
Start with suppliers in the database category.
AccuData America, a Primis company in Fort Myers, FL, is in the second phase of its online mapping offering to let users obtain drive times and personalization from maps. The service is available at www.acculeads.com.
Alterian Inc., Chicago, released the Alterian Engine 3.1, a proprietary database for marketing analytics.
Affinity Processing Services, a Lake Zurich, IL-based specialist in direct mail personalization, recently introduced the IBM InfoPrint 130 Plus, a four-color laser system. The company also plans to triple its lettershop capacity.
Banta Direct Marketing Group, Oakbrook, IL, introduced the Harris M 110 press in its Elk Grove, IL, facility for inline production of direct mail print programs.
Alaniz LLC, Mount Pleasant, IL, is working with Kodak to bring in its NexPress product for full-color digital printing on demand.
"We'll try to use it for personalized applications rather than just as a four-color digital press," said national accounts manager Randy Pence.
Southwest Publishing and Mailing Corp., Topeka, KS, began manufacturing envelopes, embossing hard cards and printing on plastic. The company won Atlanta agency Target MarkeTeam as a client.
"Business has been good and it picked up a few months ago," said company vice president Angie McAtee. "It's pretty stable right now."
Among the list brokers present, Alpha Beta Press Inc., Tinley Park, IL, has integrated its Web services with digital and variable printing to eliminate almost all human intervention.
Growth is the theme at Johnson & Quin Inc., a full-service direct mail production firm in Niles, IL. The company started designing and maintaining Web portals for multiuser campaign ordering. Next, it added card imaging and affixing capabilities. Finally, an improved online proofing system will roll out in the third quarter.
Expanding into other media vehicles, DM agency Web Direct Marketing Inc., Wheeling, IL, is placing mini-catalogs in consumer and trade magazines.
"They're onserts and they tend to dominate the publication, so they really tend to open right up to the reader because of their bulk," said Vernon Carson, president and founder of Web Direct Marketing.
Innovation is alive even in the archly traditional envelope manufacturing business. Japs-Olson Co., St. Louis Park, MN, expanded its Stochastic printing process from sheet-fed press to web to develop finer screen value. It also is in the process of growing its inline inkjet facilities.
Federal Envelope Co., Bensenville, IL, recently added open-end equipment that does latex and peel-and-seal inline work, specializing in 9-by-12 inches envelopes.
Another player in the same arena, National Envelope – Great Lakes LLC, Elk Grove Village, IL, introduced its offline Maxiflex process to do up to five colors on a 9-by-12 inches envelope.
Local competitor Colfax Envelope Corp., Buffalo Grove, IL, is noticing that customers are willing to break the mold.
"Customers are getting more creative with their choices of paper, with their envelope sizes and their use of ink," said Kathleen Thomson, account manager at Colfax. "I attribute this largely to the improved economic climate resulting in larger direct mail budgets."
Tension Envelope Corp., Des Moines, IA, is increasingly aware of the rising popularity of the four-color process flexo.
"[Marketers] are looking for things that will get people to open the envelopes," said general manager Richard Schloerb. "We're seeing resurgence in opening devices or involvement devices."
Customized formats are on the upswing. To better serve this need, USA Direct, Skokie, IL, introduced usamailnow, a Web-based direct mail print-on-demand solution. Its users include The Home Depot Inc., insurance broker BISYS and the American Red Cross.
Lehigh Direct, Broadview, IL, is promoting its Lehigh Direct ProCard. Positioned as a cheaper and speedier alternative to ordinary plastic cards, the ProCard ranges in thickness from 6 mm to 23 mm and has two-sided personalization with UV coating. It is designed for single-pass manufacturing.
Like its peers, Duplication Factory, Chaska, MN, is aware that mailers are looking for something that makes their packages stand out. So it created a pop-up mailer with a disc that pops up when the mailpiece is opened. Literature can be inserted in a pocket, with a window for the address. A redesign will include a zip strip for opening like the one on FedEx packages.
One user of the new pop-up mailer is agency Conrad Phillips for its client, Ohio's Old Dominion University. Another similar mailer has a half-moon window showing the disc.
Magnets in mail also are gaining wider acceptance. USA/Docufinish, Plainfield, IL, recently launched laser-compatible magnets along with scratch-off labels and integrated window decals.
The Magnet Group went so far as to launch a new division called Magnets 4 Media in Charleston, SC. Clients include Corporate Printing Solutions for the American Breast Cancer Foundation's ribbon magnet and Inprov Marketing's magnets for the Joyce Meyers Ministries. The magnets are four-color.
On the sorting side, ProSort Services, Burr Ridge, IL, introduced a new service for smaller volume mailing that lets customers take advantage of postage discounts available to larger mailers.
Automated Presort Inc., Downers Grove, IL, was upbeat on the prospects of commingling.
"Commingling is now, more than ever, something for Standard mailers," said Chuck Wittmer, vice president of sales at Automated Presort.
New presses are in as well. Envision Graphics, Bloomingdale, IL, installed the Coldset web press called Didde 860. It prints newsletters and business reply cards.
All in all, most DM suppliers seem to be gearing up for more business. But worries still persist.

Desktop or Mac cannot recognize my iPhone 3GS,but my iPhone still charges?
Discussion in 'iPhone Tips, Help and Troubleshooting' started by nitinrao, Jun 21, 2011.
So my iPhone 3GS recently stop being recognized by my pc (and several other desktops and macs I tried); so I'm not able to sync it with my computer. The computers don't even detect it, and it doesn't list it as one of the devices. I've also tried various USB cables.
Otherwise, it functions completely fine. It charges fine with the mac, pc, and wall charger. Also, I have a USB cable that connects to my iPhone to my car's stereo system, and it still charges and recognizes my iphone - ie. it is able to play songs from my iPod application.
What could be wrong with my phone?
dose your home button work? if it doesnt or if it has water damage. try replacing the dock connector. i hope this helps. i just ordered mine because mine kept saying "device not recognized" in windows and just not responding at all to linux or mac.
Update: it fixed mine 100% just got it today and everything works!


Sleep apnea afflicts millions of adults. The word 'apnea' comes from the Greek apnoia a – "no" or "not", and pneo/pnein – "air" or "breathing". It literally means 'no air' or 'not breathing'. The term is used to describe a medical condition wherein the afflicted person stops breathing for a brief period of time. Sleep apnea is simply the specific condition of apnea that occurs while sleeping.
There are two forms of sleep apnea – obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and central sleep apnea (CSA). Of the two, OSA is much more common. It was once believed to be a rare occurrence, but the ability to test for it has uncovered the truth. Approximately 18 million adults in the United States are currently suffering from OSA today.
Have you ever heard the phrase, "I slept like a baby"? Do we need less sleep as we age? Do teenagers really need more sleep than at any other age? I'll be answering this and many other age/sleep related questions.
Our memories may not serve us well in the department of sleep needs for children. It's probably been a long time since you were young, and if you haven't had kids of your own recently, you might not realize how much our sleep habits change through the years. In particular, the time from birth through adolescence is tumultuous for sleep patterns.

Mailänder Platz 1, 70173 Stuttgart
With its height of 40 metres, the Stadtbibliothek, Stuttgart's new public library (2011) towers over Mailänder Platz. To Eun Young Yi, its Korean architect, the monolith, whose façade incorporates countless glass blocks, is a polished jewel. Grey and unpretentious by day, the library cube glows at night in an iridescent blue. From the outside the building seems closed off, but a new world opens up on entering: a 14-metre-high, empty hall, lit only by one overhead window. 100 sq. m of void to offset the everyday hustle and bustle. Li calls this archaic, tranquil room the "Heart".
The Municipal Library has become Stuttgart's new intellectual and cultural centre that is open to people of every nation. This is also symbolised by the inscriptions on the outer walls: the word "Library" in silver letters is in English on the west wall, in German on the north, in Korean on the East and in Arabic on the south.

New Mutants Now Being Scripted by Fault in Our Stars Writers
by Sandy Schaefer
– on Aug 25, 2016
Among the numerous X-Men films, sequels and spinoffs that are currently in some stage of active development is New Mutants. That particular X-installment is a film adaptation of the X-Men comic book series about a team of teenaged mutants that was created by iconic X-Men comics writer Chris Claremont back in the early 1980s (and gained fresh life when its second series launched in the 2000s). The New Mutants movie adaptation is being co-written and directed by Josh Boone, a filmmaker who made his name with a very different sort of young adult adaptation: 2014's The Fault in Our Stars, based on the John Green novel of the same name.
X-Men franchise screenwriter/producer Simon Kinberg recently said that filming on New Mutants is tentatively slated to begin in the early goings (read: first half) of 2017 - and back in April of this year, Boone revealed that he and co-writer Knate Lee had likewise already turned in their second draft of the New Mutants script. It now appears that the New Mutants script has since been re-written (or is being re-written) by two of Boone's trusted collaborators.
THR is reporting that New Mutants is now being written by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber: the same pair that wrote Boone's Fault in Our Stars adaptation, as well as fellow YA literary adaptations The Spectacular Now and Paper Towns (the latter of which is also based on a John Green novel). The duo are presumably revising the earlier New Mutants script draft by Boone and Lee (with Boone's oversight), so that the end result is that all four screenwriters share writing credit on the film (either for screen story and/or screenplay).
THR is also reporting that the New Mutant movie character roster includes: Danielle Moonstar a.k.a. Mirage, a Native American woman whose mutant abilities allow her to conjure images of other people's fears; Rahne Sinclair a.k.a. Wolfsbane, a Scottish woman with werewolf-like transformative abilities; Roberto da Costa a.k.a. Sunspot, a Brazilian man who can manipulate the power of the sun and sunlight; Sam Guthrie a.k.a. Cannonball, a man from Kentucky who possesses flying abilities; Illya Rasputin a.k.a. Magik, a Russian woman with sorceress-like mutant powers; and Warlock, a member of an alien race known as the Technarachy.
Save for Warlock (who, along with the other characters listed, has been teased for New Mutants by Boone), all of the aforementioned characters have been reported as being part of the New Mutants character roster since last March. That same report claimed that the front-runners to play Wolfsbane and Magik were - and may still be - Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones) and Ana Taylor-Joy (The Witch), respectively. Those roles haven't been officially filled as of yet, but that should change soon, maybe before the end of the year. However, Kinberg has confirmed that Professor X (James McAvoy) is in New Mutants, as it now stands.
The addition of Neustadter and Weber as writers on New Mutants is, if nothing else, further confirmation that this X-Men installment will have a proper YA vibe to it; as opposed to the operatic tone of the mainline X-Men films, as well as the irreverent approach of the Deadpool series and the harder-edged Wolverine films (including the upcoming, R-Rated, Wolverine 3). That's encouraging too, seeing as the people involved with New Mutants all have a good track record for YA entertainment - and should help to further ensure that each upcoming X-Men film stands apart with its own unique flavor and style, so to speak.
NEXT: Gambit Loses Doug Liman as Director
Wolverine 3 opens in U.S. theaters on March 3rd, 2017, followed by unannounced X-Men films on October 6th, 2017, March 2nd, 2018, and June 29th, 2018. Deadpool 2, Gambit, New Mutants and X-Force are currently in development.

There's an old saying but I can't quite remember it word for word, so I'll hijack it for my own purpose (writers and poets can do that). It says, "You only get out of your firewood what you put into it". Having been in the business of selling firewood for many years, I could tell you some real-life horror stories about firewood neglect, such as, "Just unload it out back. Stack it on top of the wood that's already there". Well, how do you stack a load of clean, well seasoned, premium hardwood on top of a pile of rotten pulp and still sleep at night? It pays cash money, but it hurts. You get the idea.
So let me give you some tips on how to keep your firewood happy and dry so when the last goose has gone south and the snow begins to fly, you'll be able to feel the heat.
Whether putting up green split wood for the next season's use, or already seasoned wood for present use, always consider ahead of time where you will stack it. In my neck of the woods, the winds usually prevail from the west and that's an important factor in the drying process. Because that's the same direction from which will come the most precipitation. And contrary to a popular belief that letting it rain on your firewood helps it season, I firmly believe that it simply makes it wet.
I don't want rain blowing through my stacks of wood, so I stack it all east-west lengthwise in rows however long. In my case, 24 foot rows. In this position, most of the rain will be aimed at the end of the stack instead of the side, thus keeping the wood much dryer, and since drying is what it's all about, I never let my wood touch the ground. Wooden shipping pallets are the way to go when stacking wood.
In this life there are no free lunches,but there are gobs of free pallets. Many businesses are glad to have them taken away, but I always ask before I take. Never stack your wood directly on the dirt. This not only rots the bottom layers, it also invites bug infestation. A good method of preparation is to lay down a length of black roofing paper and set the pallets on top. This deters bugs and keeps the grass from growing under the stack.
So, now for the stacking. The best method of stacking green split firewood for seasoning that I know of is the chimney-stack method. Since wood must rest on wood, and air flow is king in the drying process, I always start the stack by laying down two pieces E/W about 16 inches apart, then two more on top of that in N/S position, back and forth until I reach the desired height of about 4 to 5 feet, and it looks somewhat like a wooden chimney with plenty of airflow between pieces and up through the middle. I repeat the process one chimney formation after another until my entire row is finished. Some stackers may wish to use three pieces on three.
Chimney-stacking is quite a form of art, and with time, one can learn how to manipulate the varied shapes of the firewood to form a good sturdy stack that is pleasing to the eye as well. After all, nobody wants to look at an ugly stack of wood. My rows are usually two stacks deep, but no more than that. Two stacks side by side tend to be more stable, especially if they lean slightly against each other. Most pallets are wide enough for that, and then some. I place my rows far enough apart so that a lawnmower can fit between them comfortably. A bagger-mower, for the obvious reason.
Finally, cover the top of your stacks. I use the old ripple-style metal sheet roofing. I have holes drilled down the length of each side of the sheet for tying it down against the wind. Plywood works, as well. Polytarps tend to sag and collect rainwater. They also leak with exposure to the elements, so I use them only as a shield against snow in the winter.
Hey, where did summer go? It's late September, and 50 degrees feels cold. I think I'll fire up the stove!


What makes this game so unwatchable for me as a fan? Their offense was awful along with defense was destroyed. Louis Rams to clinch the NFC West title drew a very high preliminary television rating for the final game of Sunday Night Football in its five years on NBC.
With 10 wins cheap authentic nhl jerseys with losses, they has an endeavor at yet another 11-0 start, which the team has done twice (1938, 2009). How about both folks wearing your football team jerseys. Fans in which football jersey wholesale going on the meet the group event tonight in Philadelphia will give you the chance to see and effortlessly find cheap nfl football jerseys the third kit tonight. And, while holland did beat the Dominican's instances this week, their lineup is weak – knowning cheap nfl jerseys that is putting it quite. Lolich was traded to your NY Mets after the season and spent the final uneventful numerous his career in the new york rangers jersey cheap nation's League.
He'll be able to rotate with Graham in order to provide him rest as Graham gets used to the rigors from a full nfl season. I always remembered Griffey playing extremely shallow for just about any center fielder. They converted cheap hotels jersey city 20 of 30 field purpose. He sold the phone store in morrison a pardon 1990's and returned to his home in Title to captain awesome. Granted it is only about 6 weeks into the season; nevertheless, Ruiz is justifying my confidence.
The Rebels may have needed stronger reinforcements. He has to run with determination and get better contour around make the Eagles. Also, it's extremely time under the average quantity of the whole mlb. Is Cutler would like to know in the windy county? Such pieces of it technology are that contain various items, all that are going for cheap basketball jerseys football.
On another hand why don't wholesale mlb jerseys you consider Gibson's amount? I think for many it could be the social aspect as well as the continued fitness piece. I don't recall the MLB homer numbers for teams, however it is safe to say it was very serious. On the other hand happen to uncover 1995 Nebraska's case for the most convincing.

I really love this recipe not only because I didn't really need to buy much to make this recipe but also because it was relatively fast to make and a crowd pleaser. If you haven't seen this recipe on Pinterest yet I would be really surprised. In true Shari Sabe fashion I saw the name and I set out to just make the recipe with out even looking at what it was all about, that is pretty much what I do. "Ranch pork chops? oh I know I will cover something in ranch dressing (which we love) and cook away." Of course that is not what really happened but it was my thought process. Instead, I asked Jake what he thought and he said "oh so Ranch flavored pork chops?" which lead me to the seasoning mixtures.
So my blog isn't revolutionary, I am just a normal cook with a normal kitchen with normal ideas and I love to make healthy food, not so good for you food, copycat recipes, and original recipes- this recipe happens to be inspired by someone else's idea.
Massage your pork chops with your mixture and make sure you cover them well on all sides, this will be messy but worth it.
Arrange the chops on a baking sheet or a casserole.
Bake the pork chops for 10 minutes, pull out your chops and sprinkle the rest of your seasoning on top (this will add a yummy crust on top) cook for 10 more minutes. Cook the pork chops to an internal temperature of 160ºF is reached.
I also recommend that you broil your pork chops for a minute or two to add the crispy crust if that is something you like.
This is a quick and easy recipe with not many ingredients and very budget friendly. If you want to skip the step of sprinkling the rest of the seasoning after 10 minutes, can do, just add all your mixture in your bowl at once.
As I mentioned, this recipe has been popular on Pinterest and of course I needed to try it in my own way and it really was an easy one to make.

It's still only mid-April so there's a bit to go yet until this rather strange lacuna in the GAA's calendar is dealt with. Unlike other years, there's no U21 championship action to fill the gap between spring and summer and while, in some counties, club matches are being played this month – there's a full round of league matches on home soil this weekend, the way – in other places there's little or nothing going on. At least the weather's showing signs of picking up.
One inter-county fixture that has been confirmed for this weekend is the LGFA NFL Division One semi-final. In a repeat of last year's All-Ireland semi-final, the Mayo ladies take on Cork in this one, with the match fixed for St Brendan's Park in Birr this coming Sunday (throw-in 3pm). The Division Two semi-final between Cavan and Waterford is the curtain-raiser at Birr and throw-in there is 1pm. More details on this weekend's LGFA action here.
Another match already fixed is the Christy Ring Cup first round tie in Group 1 between our lads and Wicklow. That game is scheduled for Aughrim on Saturday, 12th May, with a 3pm throw-in. Balls.ie had a feature the other day with the Mayo hurlers' captain Cathal Freeman and that's here.
Cathal is, of course, a Tooreen clubman, while allows me to segue neatly onto belated congratulations aimed squarely towards my own native parish. Last weekend the Aghamore GAA club won two All-Ireland titles at the Scór Sinsir finals at IT Sligo, scooping the honours in both the Ballad Group and Set Dancing disciplines. Style on them.
Finally, just to let you know that a new episode of the Mayo News football podcast will be ready to go shortly. The main item in this episode is an in-depth interview by Mike Finnerty with Alan Dillon, which will be well worth a listen. The new episode will be online tomorrow morning and will be available via the usual methods, including here on the site. Stay tuned for that.
Good luck to the Ladies and the Hurlers at the weekend.
Best Wishes to the Ladies at the weekend. Its a fair achievement to progress this far in the competition.every year.
Fair play to our women. They give so much and are often the unsung heroes of Mayo football. They are always at the top table and always capable of winning. Their play and achievements without Cora has been inspirational and powerful. Well done to one and all and best of luck on Sunday. You can do it…and our hurlers too… Maigheo go deo!!!
The 29 players still in the squad are Chris Barrett, Fergal Boland, Colm Boyle, Ger Cafferkey, David Clarke, Stephen Coen, Caolan Crowe, Jason Doherty, David Drake, Patrick Durcan, Brendan Harrison, Lee Keegan, Robbie Hennelly, Keith Higgins, Danny Kirby, Conor Loftus, Kevin McLoughlin, Andy Moran, Barry Moran, Shane Nally, Cillian O'Connor, Diarmuid O'Connor, Eoin O'Donoghue, Aidan O'Shea, Conor O'Shea, Seamus O'Shea, Tom Parsons, Evan Regan and Donal Vaughan.
They are joined by development squad members Sharoiz Akram, James Carr, Neil Douglas, Adam Gallagher, Michael Hall, James McCormack, Fionn McDonagh, Peter Naughton, Matthew Ruane and Ciaran Treacy.
These ten players, plus Cian Hanley and James Durcan who have also been added to this list in the last number of weeks, brings a total of 41 players training at the moment.
I would echo AxleM . Good luck to our fantastic lady warriors .
Best of luck to ladies, they deserve support. In a strange way they might be better off without Cora for a while at least. In last year's final everything had to go through her and she was double marked. On a few occasions The other forwards had better options but turned back to Cora, whether by habit or maybe intimidated by her reputation. The other forwards now have more scope to step up.


A unique energy storage test bed at Newcastle University is now online - storing energy from the local grid and testing innovative new technologies such as super-capacitors and long life, high performance batteries.
Funded through a combined £2 million grant from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), Newcastle University and industrial partners Northern Powergrid and Siemens, the facility will be based at Science Central - Newcastle's £200 million flagship project bringing together academia, the public sector, communities, business and industry to create a global centre for urban innovation.
"The energy storage test bed will help make the UK a leader in the adoption, deployment and integration of energy storage technology and establish best practice for energy distributors and industry, which is a huge part of the energy storage challenge", explains Professor Phil Taylor, Professor of Electrical Power Systems and Director of the Institute for Sustainability at Newcastle University, who is overseeing the Science Central development.
Currently based in the University's School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, the test bed will eventually be housed on Science Central where it will link to the site's microgrid to allow researchers to develop software solutions for smart grids and energy storage.
A key feature of the energy storage test bed is that it can test combinations of energy storage technologies that will respond rapidly to fluctuating demand for power across the grid.
The facility is open to UK industry and academia for use in investigating and testing emerging storage tools, techniques and materials. It allows research to be carried out to better understand the challenges and benefits associated with grid-connected energy storage systems, from storage technologies through to power electronic converter designs and control techniques, and finally into the distribution network.
Working alongside leading researchers from Newcastle University, Professor Taylor said the test bed will allow companies developing energy storage systems to benchmark and optimise their technologies and see how they perform against grid disturbances at a domestic or commercial scale.
Power distributors will be able to compare different energy storage options in real time to match up energy storage technologies with the best applications.
"One of the main advantages of this facility is its high degree of flexibility allowing fast and easy integration of a multitude of existing electrical energy storage systems, their combinations and even the emulation of novel and emerging technologies. It is built around a high-performance, fully reprogrammable platform allowing us to study in detail a wide range of phenomena associated with the operation and control of grid-connected energy storage and develop relevant solutions", says Dr Haris Patsios from the School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, who has worked in setting up the facility and is currently working with industry using this on various projects.
"It enables the world's leading innovators in energy storage technology to evaluate their own technologies and be able to see in real time not only how their technology is working, but what impact it is having on a distribution network", adds Taylor.
Originally the Elswick Colliery, then later the production centre for Newcastle Brown Ale, Science Central is a 24-acre site that has been Newcastle's industrial heart for 200 years.
Now the site is being transformed into an exemplar of urban sustainability, a 'living laboratory' where innovative urban technologies will be trialled.
Led by Newcastle University and Newcastle City Council through the Science City partnership, the development will include the University's £58m Urban Sciences Building which will house the School of Computing Science, as well as an urban observatory and decision theatre, allowing real time data from the city to be analysed and explored so we can improve our understanding of the interaction between our city's energy, water, transport, waste and digital control systems.
