What Bartending Taught Me About the Art of Hospitality

The art of hospitality didn’t come naturally to me. The idea of welcoming others into a personal space and catering to their needs always seemed just out of reach, better suited to more extroverted, people-pleasing types. As a result, I felt largely ambivalent—save for an occasional ping of guilt ... Continue reading from Verily https://ift.tt/2OyampR https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Smartphone Freedom: Rejecting the Demand For Instant Responses

In Search of a Better Notes App

As a teenager, I sometimes carried a small notebook or a pad of sticky notes. When inspiration struck (or random thoughts for college application essays), I jotted down my musings. But years later, once I bought an iPhone, Apple Notes became my lifesaver on-the-go. No longer did I have to carry ... Continue reading from Verily https://ift.tt/2OAkhex https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Dating Unscripted: Mr. Right vs. Mr. Right Now

6 Ways You Can Successfully Transition to Working From Home

I started “working from home” in 2011. Actually, I was working from home part time, while also still working a regular 9 to 5 job for a technology non-profit. I accomplished my day-job duties before going home to work on my side hustle. It wasn’t until mid-2012 that I made the daunting switch to ...

Staying Active During Pregnancy Is Hard: Here's How I Did It

I will never forget the moment I found out I was pregnant with my first child. It was Labor Day (yes, seriously) and the day before I had started my first semester of grad school.

What My Aunt's Cooking Lessons Taught Me About Relationships

I was home-schooled growing up, so my classes took a non-traditional form. For example, once a week I went to my friend’s home to learn German from her mom. Another regular activity was ballroom dance lessons with other home-schooled students. But a favorite class of mine was the time each week ...

Drew Doughty’s OT goal lifts Kings past Chicago

LOS ANGELES – Trying to stay classy during this non-playoff season, the Kings on Saturday night showed some character against a Chicago Blackhawks team desperately trying to stay in the Western Conference playoff race. Down a goal late, Michael Amadio tied the game for the Kings at 15:45 of the third period. Drew Doughty then scored a power-play goal with just 12 seconds left in the overtime period to lift the Kings to a 3-2 victory over Chicago before 18,230 at Staples Center. The Kings had two fourth-line goals – by Austin Wagner and Amadio – and a fine performance from goalie Jack Campbell, who made 33 saves. That was not lost on Doughty. “I think we just all played together,” Doughty said. “And, obviously, ‘Soup’ kept us in it with some big saves. He played well all game and only allowed them to get two goals, so that was a big part of it. “But, yeah, we just played together and we didn’t give up and our fourth line got us two big goals, too. … That was huge by them; they don’...

Tyson Heaton throws a perfect game in Yucaipa’s win over Carter

SAN BERNARDINO — It was a perfect day for baseball Saturday, and that’s what Yucaipa High pitcher Tyson Heaton was — perfect. The senior ace threw the first perfect game of his high school career, defeating Carter 5-0 at San Manuel Stadium in the County Clash. He struck out nine batters. Asked when he became aware of the perfecto, Heaton said, “In the late innings. I looked up at the scoreboard and saw all zeroes. My fastball had good movement and my curve and cutter were working well. And I had solid defense behind me.” Heaton, after retiring 20 consecutive batters, induced Carter’s Steven Nunez to fly out to complete the gem. The 6-foot-2, 205-pound right-hander tossed his glove in the air and then was mobbed by happy teammates who bounced up and down near the pitcher’s mound for several seconds. “His fastball had tail — a lot of movement and he was able to locate his curve,” Yucaipa catcher Michael Carpentier said. “I call my own game (from behind the plate) and Tyson and I have...

Angels rally comes up short in loss to A’s

OAKLAND — Depending on your point of view, the Angels’ promising rally came to an end because of Blake Treinen, Justin Bour or Chris Guccione. Whether you give credit to the Oakland A’s All-Star closer, blame the Angels hitter or accuse the umpire of making a questionable call, the end result was the same. The Angels, who had the potential tying run on base in the eighth inning, came up empty and lost 4-2 to the A’s on Saturday night. “Really I have no one to blame but myself,” Bour said. “I didn’t get it done. You can argue balls and strikes and all that stuff. Really at the end of the day it’s a matter of getting it done, and I haven’t and didn’t there. Was it in the zone? No, but I still didn’t get the job done.” Bour, who gave credit to Treinen for being “one of the best closers in the game,” stepped to the plate just after the Angels had cut a 4-0 deficit to 4-2, scoring a couple of runs on a Mike Trout sacrifice fly and an Andrelton Simmons RBI single. The A’s then summoned ...

Alex Jones said in a deposition that 'a form of psychosis' made him believe the conspiracy theory that the Sandy Hook shooting was staged

Image
InfoWars host Alex Jones said in a deposition that "a form of psychosis" made him believe conspiracy theories about the Sandy Hook shooting. Jones faces multiple lawsuits from the families of Sandy Hook victims, and acknowledged in his deposition that the shooting did occur, and that he spread misinformation about it. He added, however, that he still believes some aspects of the shooting were suspicious. InfoWars host Alex Jones said in a deposition made public Friday said he now believes that a massacre at the Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, in 2012 really happened — and that "a form of psychosis" made him believe the conspiracy theory that it was staged. The parents of 10 Sandy Hook victims have sued Jones over his repeated false claims throughout the years that the deadly shooting was a hoax, the survivors were "crisis actors," and the children who were killed did not exist. On Friday, the parents' attorneys posted Jone...

We tried 4 frozen chicken pot pies and the winner could have fooled us for homemade

Image
Chicken pot pie is a classic, but it can be hard to make from scratch.  We decided to try some grocery store, frozen pot pies.  Boston Market ended up being our favorite, but all of them were solid contenders. Chicken pot pie is a quintessential comfort food. Made up of rich gravy, crunchy veggies, and lots of chicken inside of a flaky crust, it's the perfect thing to warm you up in the colder months. But it can also be time-consuming to make from scratch, which is why there are so many options on the frozen pot pie market.  As a part of INSIDER's ongoing  taste test series , we chose four frozen chicken pot pies to find out which one came close to the homemade favorite. Previously, we've tried boxed mac and cheese  and  microwave popcorn . The four pot pies we chose were: Boston Market Chicken Pot Pie Stouffer's Chicken Pot Pie Banquet Chicken Pot Pie Marie Callender's Chicken Pot Pie They were all purchased at the same grocery store in Brook...
