Overdue, but what the heck, good music always deserves a nod:
Regarding Robbie Robertson's CD from last year, "how to become clairvoyant" – after a careful listening or six, what's revealed, to me, at least: "When The Night Was Young" just might be his best post-Band song; "Tango for Django" is great. I wish he'd make an instrumental album! At the same time, it must be said that his singing throughout is often quite affecting, even just right. For those who grew up with the tremendous vocal solo work by his mates and harmonization in The Band, who knew? Finally, I'm delighted to report that Robertson finally nixed the gauze-like production value that mars some of his earlier solo work. I can hear his guitars!!!! Pick on Robbie, pick on!

Pliny the younger recounted a visit he had made to see floating islands in a lake in Italy:
… I have lately been entertained with one of these curiosities, to which I was an entire stranger before. My wife's grandfather desired I would look over his estate near Ameria. As I was walking over his grounds, I was shewn a lake that lies below them, called Vadimon, about which several very extraordinary things are told. I went up to this lake. It is perfectly circular in form, like a wheel lying on the ground; there is not the least curve or projection of the shore, but all is regular, even and just as if it had been hollowed and cut out by the hand of art. The water is of a clear sky-blue, though with somewhat of a greenish tinge; its smell is sulphurous, and its flavour has medicinal properties, and is deemed of great efficacy in all fractures of the limbs, which it is supposed to heal. Though of but moderate extent, yet the winds have a great effect upon it, throwing it into violent agitation. No vessels are suffered to sail here, as its waters are held sacred; but several floating islands swim about it, covered with reeds and rushes, and with whatever other plants the surrounding marshy ground and the edge itself of the lake produce in greater abundance. Each island has its peculiar shape and size, but the edges of all of them are worn away by their frequent collision with the shore and one another. They are all of the same height and motion; as their respective roots, which are formed like the keel of a boat, may be seen hanging not very far down in the water, and at an equal depth, on whichever side you stand. Sometimes they move in a cluster, and seem to form one entire little continent; sometimes they are dispersed into different quarters by the wind; at other times, when it is calm, they float up and down separately. You may frequently see one of the larger islands sailing along with a lesser joined to it, like a ship with its long boat; or, perhaps, seeming to strive which shall outswim the other: then again they are all driven to the same spot, and by joining themselves to the shore, sometimes on one side and sometimes on the other, lessen or restore the size of the lake in this part or that, accordingly, till at last, uniting in the centre, they restore it to its usual size. The sheep which graze upon the borders of this lake frequently go upon these islands to feed, without perceiving that they have left the shore, until they are alarmed by finding themselves surrounded with water; as though they had been forcibly conveyed and placed there. Afterwards, when the wind drives them back again, they as little perceive their return as their departure.
These floating islands still exist – not those specific ones, but elsewhere around the world. This picture is from Mexico (see more from the source):

Actually, there's a whole book about them (that I haven't read):

Philippians 1:8-11
8 For God is my witness, how I long for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. 9 And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, 10 so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ; 11 having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Hanna Tsepesh: Hello Ronny Munroe! Thanks so much for accepting our invitation and welcome to the THE GATES OF METAL! First of all: how are you and how are the things doing with your concerts?
Ronny: Thanks for having me and things are going very well with the Cd and I have some shows coming up in October.
Hanna Tsepesh: You are much known in metal scene since the 80's but some young people don't know you. So, can you tell little bit about you and when you start in music?
Ronny: I started playing drums first, then I became a singer and I've never looked back. After playing in different bands over the years I was lucky enough to land the frontman spot for Metal Church, co-wrote three records and toured the world. Now I have put out my first solo CD "The Fire Within" and I am going to continue to tour and do what I love to do.
Hanna Tsepesh: What are the inspirations to create the lyrics?
Ronny: Life, Love and the pursuit of Metal! That's the simple answer but really it can be about politics, religion, love , hate or whatever I may be feeling at the time.
Hanna Tsepesh: What are your favorite bands at the moment? You have any musician that you admire the most?
Ronny: I listen to a lot of music but right now the new Heaven and hell and Mastodon are my favs as of right now. Both these records are great!
Hanna Tsepesh: You have or had any singing lessons or any other preparation? You play any instrument?
Ronny: I had a few lessons over the years. When I prepare for a show I usually do a few minutes of warm ups, drink a glass of wine to loosen up , then I go out and rock! I play drums and a little guitar and I'm always striving to learn more.
Hanna Tsepesh: Let's talk about the "The Fire Within" album. For people who don't listen yet can you tell to us what we can expect from this album?
Ronny: 12 heavy hitting songs. I am very proud of this record and how it came together, it's pure old school power metal with a twist.
Hanna Tsepesh: How has the response been to the album by the media and fans?
Ronny: Very well so far, the reviews are good and the fan reaction is solid. For a first effort "The Fire Within" is burning brightly .
Hanna Tsepesh: what is your favorite music in this album and why?
Ronny: I think all the songs are solid but if I had to pick a favorite I would say Desperate Man and the reason is it's the first song I wrote on guitar and the meaning of the lyrics. The lyrics talk about perseverance and never giving up on your dreams!
Hanna Tsepesh: If one of our readers wants to buy your album, what they can do?
Ronny: It's every where!
Rat-Pak Records
CM Distro
Metal Heaven
I tunes
Disc Union
And a few other places as well!
Hanna Tsepesh: What is your personal opinion about metal in our days and what is the best advice that you can tell to the young bands out there?
Ronny: Metal will always be around no matter what, the people won't let that die, ever. As far as advice, have a back up plan, get your education because it's a very tough business so be prepared.
Hanna Tsepesh: You want to send any message for your fans?
Ronny: I want to thank all the fans that have supported me through my years with Metal Church and beyond. I have great fans that support me very much and that makes me a very lucky guy!
Hanna Tsepesh: Thanks so much for your answers and time! THE GATES OF METAL wish you a big success and good luck for your projects! We hope to see you very soon at Portugal…
Ronny: Thank you Hanna and I hope to get to Portugal very soon. Take care and keep the metal faith.

Recently, we told you how Kabir Khan, Aanand L Rai and Rajkumar Santoshi are keen to have Kat on board for their films.
And when it comes to being by Kat's side during her tough phase, can Salman Khan be behind?
The latest we've heard is that Salman is considering making Katrina the face of Being Human's Winter Collection.
If indeed she makes it to the photo shoot for the campaign, it will be a feather in her cap.

By adding canary-yellow artist's tape (which doesn't leave a residue) to book bindings, box bases and labels, the office has transformed itself from a neutral sea of tans, greys and whites to a brightly accented area. Incorporating neutral magazine holders, cd storage and oversize boxes to organize your space provides an easy palette to play with. Check out Martha Stewart Living for the full article.

The heat is on and you need cool stuff whether you are walking the dog or taking a dip in the pool. Hasan Shaban takes his pick

Dog's delight
Muscat's scorching summer does not spare animals. They need to be kept in the shed, and preferably in a closed, air conditioned place.

The non-toxic polymer inflates when water is added to the scarf. Put it around the dog's neck to relieve heat. No refrigeration needed. Just add more water for continuous use.

Debates about the extent to which the United States should use its power to lead and shape events in the world, and when and how it should intervene, are eternal in our history. In 1821, John Quincy Adams admonished us not to go abroad "in search of monsters to destroy." But in a world more interconnected than anything he could have imagined, we have been forced or tempted on occasion to do just that: in the Balkans, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria or perhaps soon in North Korea. So what is the proper balance, given that Donald J. Trump's threatened disengagement from the world is an extreme position that violates the trajectory of our history? Ironically, the one factor that best informs us in this debate is never discussed: America's own geography.
Everyone knows that the United States is a virtual island-nation, protected by two oceans, with the sparsely inhabited Canadian Arctic to the north. But that is only the beginning of the discussion, in which America's physical location and topographical characteristics help provide a spiritual direction for our foreign policy — something that Mr. Trump cannot change.
The United States, occupying as it does the temperate zone of North America, is the most consequential "satellite" of the Afro-Eurasian "World-Island," wrote the British geographer Halford J. Mackinder in 1919. Not only was America physically isolated from the threats and complexities of the Old World, and not only is it abundantly rich in natural resources from minerals to hydrocarbons, but America claims more miles of navigable inland waterways than much of the rest of the world combined. And this river system is not laid over the sparsely inhabited and thinly soiled Great Plains and Rocky Mountains, but over America's arable cradle itself: the nutrient-rich soil of the Midwest, thus unifying the centers of population in the 19th century, and perennially allowing for the movement of goods and produce in the interior continent. This river system, like the veining of a leaf, flows into the Mississippi, which, in turn, disperses into the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, thus connecting farms and cities throughout the densely habitable part of the United States with the global sea lines of communication.
So while physically protected from the Old World, the United States has never really been isolated from it. The critical importance of the Greater Caribbean to the Mississippi River system made it necessary for America to strategically dominate what might be called the American Mediterranean — for such is the geopolitical centrality of the Greater Caribbean to the entire Western Hemisphere. This process of domination began roughly with the Monroe Doctrine and was completed with the building of the Panama Canal. Having become the dominant hemispheric power, the United States was then in a position to help determine the balance of power in the other hemisphere — and that is what the history of the 20th century was all about. Fighting two world wars and the Cold War was about not letting any power or alliance of powers dominate the Old World to the extent that the United States dominated the New World.
But before controlling the Caribbean, Americans first had to settle a continent. The barrier to that was the Great Plains, or the Great American Desert, as it was called in the 19th century. For the well-watered Midwest with its rich farmland was but an extension of the East. Yet the Great American Desert was dry, achingly flat in large measure and water-starved compared with the Midwest. While the riverine eastern half of the continent was friendly to individualism, the western half required communalism, to properly apportion scarce water resources. Indeed, whereas Iowa is basically 100 percent arable, Utah with its cindery bleakness is only 3 percent arable. The Great Plains and the Rocky Mountain West constituted the real discontinuities in American history, since they fundamentally altered Anglo-Saxon culture and created a distinctly American one.
This American culture was only in small measure that of the cowboy tradition, with its lonesome risk-taking. In much larger measure it was about supreme caution, the respecting of limits, and thinking tragically in order to avoid tragedy: that was the only psychology and strategy able to deal with a stupefyingly hostile and parched landscape. The very settlement of the American West taught pioneers, despite all their conquests, that they could not always have their way in the world. And that is precisely the message advanced by the three greatest interpreters of westward expansion: Walter Prescott Webb, Bernard DeVoto and Wallace Stegner, all writing their most significant works in the middle decades of the 20th century, when the settlement of the West was much closer in time than it is now.
Another thing: The United States required the resources of an entire continent to defeat German and Japanese fascism, and later Soviet Communism. Without Manifest Destiny, there could have been no victory in World War II. But because settling that continent involved slavery and genocide against the indigenous inhabitants, American history is morally unresolvable. Thus, the only way to ultimately overcome our sins is to do good in the world. But doing good must be tempered by always thinking about what can go wrong in the process. These are all, deep down, the lessons of the interaction between Americans and their landscape.
Technology now increasingly defeats distance, but geography does not disappear: It merely becomes more claustrophobic on a crowded, contested and interactive earth. The continued movement of Latin history north into the United States from Mexico and Central America — something a wall will not stop — is only the most obvious geographic and demographic face of America's intensified involvement with the outer world. And because geography is more compressed, isolationism, which was a serious argument at a time when crossing the Atlantic took five days by ocean liner, is an absurdity in a world of cybercommunications. Still, there is this dramatic pull of an interior continent — so vast, and with so many problems inside it — that the world beyond can seem not quite real.
So a militant interventionism, which ignores the pressing needs of the continental interior — as well as ignoring the pioneers' respect for limits — is just as absurd as isolationism. But isolationism violates America's need to project power — a need that begins with our river system's meeting the Greater Caribbean. The American landscape itself, full of possibilities in some places and barely habitable in others, should make us humble, and therefore is an argument in favor of a measured, realist internationalism.
Realism is not isolationism. Because we are only a satellite of Eurasia, our allies are far away from us and situated on the rimlands of that supercontinent close to the great autocratic powers of Russia and China. Defending such allies allows us to prevent anyone in the Old World from attaining the same position of dominance that we have had in the New World.
We do this for a moral purpose, since only if we project power can our values follow along with it. Yet we must always remember that to invade is to govern: Once you conquer a territory, you assume responsibility for running it. That, too, is a caution deeply embedded in the experience of the western-bound pioneers, who knew the dangers of a difficult geography. The frontier was about being frugal with our assets. It was about pushing out over the perimeter, but only while tending to our own. It was about maintaining supply lines, however much that slowed us up. Above all it was about pragmatism. Such were the wages of settling a parched continent on the far side of the Missouri River — America's first adventure in nation-building in a hostile physical environment. And the further removed we become from the psychology of that original experience, the worse will be our encounter with the world beyond.
Indeed, our geography fiercely argues for a balance: be wary of nation-building, but remember the global responsibilities of a maritime nation. After all, it was only by conquering a great desert that we became a sea power — since without reaching the Pacific Coast we never could have built our 300-ship Navy. And it is that Navy, our primary strategic instrument given that nuclear weapons must never be used, that guards the great sea lines of communication along with access to hydrocarbons for our allies, thus allowing for a semblance of global order in the first place. America, precisely because of its geography, is fated to lead.

Every once in a while we get the opportunity to list homes where sellers have completely changed the original look and livability of a home.
That it the case with 9559 Allegro Dr Manassas Virginia. This is a Ryland Hamilton floor-plan that was a very popular home style in the early 1990's. The owners of this home bought the home as the home was built. The typical Hamilton floor-plan was built as a center hall colonial. Living room on one side of foyer and dining on the other side and the hallway leads to the family room, breakfast room and kitchen that sprawl across the rear of the home. Upstairs were typically four bedroom (upstairs five if the buyer decided to forgo the open foyer) and the the basement was finished or unfinished depending on the original purchaser's budget.
Fast forward to 2017.Over the last fifteen years the owners of this have transformed this home into what you see today.Over $400,000 in updates from the front portico entry to the addition over the garage that added another master bedroom ,jetted tub bath, closets, a home and a rear staircase to loft over the master bedroom. That makes this home a six bedroom home on the upper level. A very rare find.
All baths are updated, flooring is updated, kitchen has granite counters, stainless steel appliances and the washer and dryer room have a dedicated area back behind the kitchen.
The home boasts over 4600 finished square feet, a two zoned HVAC System,Newer Roof, Newer Siding, a three season covered rear porch, and a full finished basement with a rec room, built in bookcases, a full bath, den and two additional finished rooms.
Best of all this home has a huge fenced level yard and an expanded garage that allows you to get your SUV's in the garage!
Even better this home is less than 2.5 miles to the Manassas City Virginia. This home offers that small town living that you have been searching for. Just a few minutes into Old Town Manassas you can visit the Farmers Market on Saturday morning from 9-1, or opt for dinner out at Carmello's, Monza's, Okra's, Philadelphia Tavern, The Bone BBQ, or so many others. Street cafe's and music await you on summer evenings. Not only that there is Jitterbugs. A throwback 1950"s Ice Cream Parlor, and events and holiday parades. Manassas City has a heart beat of it's own. If you visit on a weekend you won't to leave.
So back to the house, it is located in the Mayfair subdivision off Lucasville Rd. Easy access to the Prince William County Parkway. Perfect for some one who is going to Quantico to work. Even better for those traveling into Chrystal City,L'Enfant Plaza or Union Station daily. That is because the VRE Station is only 2.5 miles away. Can you imagine leaving your home, driving to the parking garage, hoping on a train, sleeping or catching on on notes for the morning meeting? How less stressful would your commute be?
Well, if the thought of that intrigues you. The next step is to learn more about this amazing home. Click on this link to learn more about 9559 Allegro Dr, Manassas Virginia in Mayfield Subdivision. There is so much more to tell you, however I have learned over the years it is better to show you. This is not a home that will appeal to every buyer. This is a home that will aappeal to the folks who have pets and need a fenced rear yard, or have big vehicles and prefer to park them in their garage, they do not want a strick HOA, and you need more than four bedrooms on the upper level of the home and prefer to have a home that lives well versus one with a the high ceilings, and open spaces. You like homes that have dedicated rooms for living room, dining room, kitchen, family room, rec room, office etc....
If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to call your Buyers Agent or call me at 703-851-3085. It would be my pleasure to assist you.

Boone County Sweet Treats
When the heat index increases, visions of chocolate malts, root beer floats, and ice cream cones start dancing in our brains. Over the years, finding a sweet treat in Boone County has never been too difficult. One of the best-remembered sweet stops in Belvidere was Knapp's Coffee Shop. Many Belvidere residents fondly recall the sandwiches, coffee, signature malt shakes, and great conversation served up at Knapp's. Opened during the worst of the Great Depression in 1931, Doc and his wife Irene served Belvidere at their South State Street...read more
Trail Tales
It's a lovely summer afternoon in northern Boone County. Red-winged blackbirds balance on waving stems of prairie grasses; pockets of trees stand like islands in the broad green farm fields stretching to the horizon. These are your surroundings from the seat of a bicycle on the Long Prairie Trail, a 14-mile walking and biking trail that connects Capron to Caledonia and wends through Boone County farmland, prairie, and woods. But there is more to the trail than what can be seen by the eye. The history of this region lies along the trail's...read more

Warwickshire came up trumps when taking three of the four sections from the weekend match with high fliers Lancashire. Ladies B hit the ground running with a great 4-2 win with Team Manager leading the way with a 20.04 LOM. Wins followed from Helen Rigg, Chloe McKivett and Nina Bolt. Mens B also produced a solid display with a 7-5 win, Prakash Jiwa taking the match award with a 27.83. Other winners were James Hykin, Carl Green, Simon Power, Tommy Ryan, Ian Shaw and Ant West. Sunday saw us going in with an 11-7 lead which soon dwindled to 12-12 after the Ladies A had lost out 5-1 with Trina Gulliver 22.60 LOM. Mens A got off to a bad start with the first two games going in favour of Lancs but order was restored Antony Allen winning 4-1 and despite an unusual loss for Jamie Hughes we were still looking strong, Tommy Aldridge hit home with a brilliant 30.47 MOM followed by a further four wins from Ted Evetts, Rob Hawker on his A return, Dickie Foster and Bobby Nixon, Simon Power was unlucky to lose out 4-3 but Mark Westgarth hit the winning match double to see us on 19 points, finally Noel Grant also losing out to a straight legs defeat. So a 19-17 win which sees the Bears move back to Fourth in the Premier, and as I pointed out there isnt and wont be many Counties that go and win 3 from four on their patch. The last time this was achieved was in 2002 in Morecambe. A brilliant effort from all concerned this weekend. We now move on to the next match which is home versus Cambridgeshire.

Jamie Hughes was on the end of a 6-1 defeat against close friend and rival Glen Durrant, a match that was always going to be a battle of wills went Duzzas way with all the first four sets going in his favour. Jamie hit back with the fifth and threatened to take the 6th but finishing did not come to his rescue. From then on it was foot down all the way from the BDO World No 1 with him hitting brilliant finishes including a maximum 170. Jamie paid tribute in his post match interview saying that Durrant still has another two gears to move up.
Yozza tames the Wolfie
Jamie Hughes came back from two sets to Nil down to force a final ninth set decider which he took by three legs to one after Martin Adams had missed three darts at the double. In the 1st set Jamie had averaged 34 with a 12 dart leg but lost it 3-1, second set saw again a high average of 33 but a loss of 3-0 saw him struggling but a fighting set in the third where he found himself 2-0 down but took the next three legs. Fourth set saw him hit a stunning 37 average but losing 3-0. The next three sets were bossed by Jamie to go into a 4-3 sets lead, Adams took the 8th with a 3-1 legs win. This then saw the decider which incidentally saw the lowest set average posted by both players but Hughes stood to the task and ended Wolfies push for a Fourth World Title. Jamie now awaits the winner of the Durrant/ Labanauskas battle to see who he faces in the Semi Finals.
10 X Champ bows out
Trina Gulliver the 10 times Ladies World Champion and current holder of the title bowed out of this years event at the expense of Aileen De Graaf whom she had overcome in last years Semi Final. Trina never really got going in the first set until the third leg where she posted a 16 dart leg aided by a maximum 180. Taking the 1st leg of the 2nd set in 20 Trina looked to push on but to no avail.
Hughes through to last eight
Jamie Hughes progressed to the last eight of the Lakeside World Chamionships with a solid 4-1 victory over close friend on the circuit Jim Williams of Wales. Jamie hit the doubles first time on many occasions and went into a 2-0 lead with Williams only blip was to miss his doubles, the lead was increased to 3-0 and despite a very lacklustre 4th set he got home with a 5th set and a 4-1 win.
Hughes wins tricky 1st round Tie.
Jamie Hughes won a tricky first round match over the experienced Martin Atkins of Yorkshire. Atkins who has had a resurgence of good form in the past year stood to the task in the game but vital doubles were missed. Hughes was also guilty of a few doubles missed but powered home in the final set with some power scoring.
Trina up and running in Worlds
Trina Gulliver came through a tough 1st round match against Claire Brookin of Cambridgshire. Both players struggled along in the first set with many missed doubles but it was Trina who nicked it taking out double 10. Claire started the next set with a first leg victory but Trina kicked in to the game then finishing the set with 14 and 13 dart legs with the 13 consisting of three 140s, 41 and a double top.
Tonight we see Jamie Hughes seeded at 4 for this years event taking on Yorkshires Martin Atkins. The afternoon action can be seen on Channel 4 and in the evening session it can be viewed on BT Sport.

order ampicillin 125 mg im q4h Here are excerpts from notes and emails we've saved from our clients throughout the years (shared with permission):
http://plagueoftheblackheart.com/wp-json/oembed/1.0/embed?url=http://plagueoftheblackheart.com/amateur/ We had been to other couples therapists before, and they were all helpful in some way. But we had never really gotten the depth and direction that we did from you. You helped us discover why we kept going around the same block in our conflicts and guided us to newfound heights in our sex life. I can honestly say our marriage has never been better, and we know exactly what we need to do to keep it that way. We will always have you to thank.
– J and C (Pasadena, CA)
"To think of how far we've come from that day I found out… it just blows my mind. Your gentle but clear guidance and your patience with us through all our ups and downs is something I will never forget."
– Kate (Los Angeles, CA)
"As you may recall, we contacted you because things had not been going well in the bedroom for years and we knew we had to do something different. I'm so glad my therapist knew of you and suggested we look you up. The four day intensive you set up for us literally ended up changing our lives. What we learned about boundaries and how that led to us sharing more openly and honestly with each other than ever before was worth the trip to Pasadena in and of itself! You helped us address sexual troubles that we were beginning to feel hopeless about – so much so that we went home feeling entirely hopeful. We felt truly cared for by you both and can't thank you enough for everything you helped us with."
– Marisa (Boston, MA)
The PIEs in your program were extremely powerful. They made it easy for us to know what to do and always left us in a much better place than before we stared."
– Brad and Kimberly (NY, NY)
"We knew we had come a long way since I got into recovery, but when it came to our sex life things were not clicking for us. We found your book and within 10 pages I had a surge of hope. I could not believe you had written about US! SRT was exactly what we needed to allow us to create a shared sexuality that really worked for each of us. For someone wha had such a long history of sexual behaviors, I was amazed at how much I had to learn about healthy sexuality. I feel so fortunate to have found your book and hope that every couple who has struggles as we have finds it too."– Marc (Pittsburgh, PA

Building an Orangery
The next step up from a conservatory would be an Orangery. As a high quality living space it rivals a "full blown" brick & mortar extension with ease.
Before taking the plunge and running off to get yourself one of those orangeries that feature in the lifestyle magazines, you should do some planning. It's not like yo can buy one off the shelf & just plant it in your backyard.
- you will probably need planning permission
- you will need several design options & written quotations from potential contractors
- you may want to inform your neighbors first
- think about access for the construction workers & machinery
- what size do you want – what size do you need – what size can you actually fit
- furnishing – what are you going to put in it afterwards?
There are some companies that will project manage the whole job of building an orangery- shop around and see what you can find – a good start is here: www.orangerycosts.co.uk

I don't think I could have been much more excited than I was last week when I got to spend the morning with a true hero of family food, Annabel Karmel.
This amazing lady literally wrote the book on feeding children (her Complete Baby & Toddler Meal Planner was first published 25 years ago and has since sold 4 million copies), and now she's back with a fabulous new book, the Busy Mum's Cookbook, published by Ebury.
I popped over to Annabel's gorgeous home for a morning of cooking and grabbed the chance to ask her all about her amazing career, and what her latest book is all about. Have a watch!
Come back this weekend, when I'll be sharing another recipe we cooked on the day, Annabel's courgette spaghetti – it's honestly the best courgetti recipe I've tasted, so well worth a look.
And I'm sure you've spotted that amazing chocolate tart in the foreground of the video. Pop back on Monday to see how it was made.
Don't forget to grab your copy of Annabel Karmel's Busy Mum's Cookbook. See you soon!

Moms deserve so much respect for everything they do around and outside the house. Without them, the entire family would be chaotic! The same can be said for gardens. Gardens without the tender loving care of mothers would be a mess. But what should busy mothers always remember when tending to their plants? Here are four tips:
Never overcrowd plants
Don't dump seeds too close to one another. You don't want your plants to grow without some space. They need to breathe and be well placed. Plants shouldn't bloom too close to each other or else you'll be facing the problem of one plant taking over the other. Every plant deserves sufficient space and light to grow otherwise it'll be tangled up with another and worse spread virus.
Overdoing it is an unhealthy habit
I get it, you're busy as a bee, and you just want to tick off as many items on your to-do list as you can. But mind you, overdoing gardening will only harm your plants! For instance, don't overwater them in the morning thinking that the water would be good enough for a day or two. A heavy and huge watering can won't only harm your garden but will also hurt you! You'd be dealing with sore muscles if you overdo stuff. Another example is to avoid feeding your plants with so many nutrients all at once so that you won't have to do it later or tomorrow. You should treat your plants like you treat your children, and your children don't deserve to be treated that way!
Get yourself a pole saw
Some branches are difficult to reach. Don't force yourself to cut them off yourself by pretending you can reach them easily with your hands and a regular saw. Get a reliable pole saw, and you won't be surprised why that machine is included in LawnStarter.com's list of must-haves.
Read the latest news about saws here
Install a drip irrigation system
If you don't have time to water your plants, then install (or have someone do it for you) a drip irrigation system for your outdoor pots. You can skip watering them if you have one, thus giving you more time to perform other gardening tasks that are not automatic. I suggest you do the installation yourself to empower you. Besides, if you have a hose or the main water supply near your garden, the installation would be hassle-free anyway.
Final Words
All moms are busy, but the secret to tending your garden is to manage your time wisely. If you know how to spend your time and how much time your garden needs every day, you can keep yourself and your plants happy.

In my hub on building a camper van Here I talked about curler painting it to some extent. He labored on tour for the likes of Faith No More, The Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, David Bowie, Guns N' Roses, and Tool. Now if she is 12 yeas previous and simply instantly received spina bifida then there is something wrong with this image. As security advocates we've educated ourselves on the historical past and present status of 15-passenger vans through in depth analysis and active lobbying at all governmental levels. Hi i have a Renault Traffic on a 57 reg driving feeling rough than normal, additionally whereas driving on a straight or motorway i've misplaced power fully and then kicks again in scary to be honest lights come on STOP and engine gentle.
The commonest grievance with these vans appears to be that they generally are low on power, particularly beneath 2500rpm and typically won't rev correctly. The partnership between WSL and IMG for the Vans US Open of Surfing ensures the event is contested by the world's greatest surfers in the historic Surf City," USA. The Vans Authentic is likely one of the unique styles of Vans that had been made by Van Doren.
Basically, I search for people who use Vans (in some form) to precise themselves or information following that very same thread and aesthetic. Hi the egr is correct at the front of the engine on the two.5. Start from the air filter and work your way alongside from there. Hi Danny, vacuum pump is on the record, am working by means of the van, will attempt to put a how to checklist up for all the common issues.
I've never met John Webb or his artist spouse Chris, but I've had a number of good laughs with associates about what their vans and enterprise say about them. Some companies have made their companies mobile by equipping their vans with all the pieces needed to take their enterprise on to customers. We ended up discovering our van for sale by proprietor (in the coloration we were hoping for no much less!) 5 miles down the street from our home. The signature waffle soles which can be present in Vans sneakers have been particularly helpful to skaters because it gave them the flexibility to grip onto their boards and skates.
I don't know rather a lot about vans and am a self employed roofer.. I even have spent £700 on this van in the previous few months and just wondered whether you would put me in the right path so I may get parts and get sorted as a substitute of having a mechanic cost me a bomb for no information as they appear to be doing! Do check out VW T25 Campervans if you're ever looking – there are some great vans round and a really active neighborhood too.

Addison on Amelia
The Addison on Amelia is a tranquil 14-room boutique inn seamlessly blending the elegance of a bygone era with the modern amenities and conveniences the discriminating traveller expects. The inn is comprised of three antebellum style houses built around the perimeter of the property to enclose an enchanting courtyard. The meticulously restored main building was originally built for merchant Frank Simmons in 1876, while the other two homes were built in 1996 to compliment the architectural details of the main house. Private, semi-private and public porches overlooking Ash Street or our soothing fountain courtyard provide guests with a place to enjoy a cup of coffee, a glass of wine, al fresco dining or simply relaxing amid the oasis of calm.
Located on historic Amelia Island, an unspoiled barrier island in northeast Florida, The Addison is located adjacent to miles of pristine white sandy beaches, art galleries and eclectic shops, hiking and cycling paths, world-class golf courses, deep sea fishing and an array of water sports.
The Addison On Amelia of Fernandina Beach, Florida was selected as one of the Best of the South in the annual Best of BedandBreakfast.com Awards, 2008-2009. The Best of BedandBreakfast.com Awards are based upon a qualitative and quantitative review of the nearly 50,000 independent reviews submitted to BedandBreakfast.com, the leading online B&B directory and reservation network worldwide. Orlando Magazine describes The Addison "a great destination for a rejuvenating long weekend" while Best Places to Stay in Florida calls the property the "Best Inn on Amelia Island."
Tranquil, romantic, evocative are all hallmarks of the Bed and Breakfast experience and the Addison On Amelia. Understated hints of the tropics in the impeccably decorated guest rooms bring to mind Old Florida elegance with four-poster beds, rich hardwood floors and ceiling fans stirring a cool breeze. Just imagine yourself as a guest in an elegant turn-of-the-century home by the sea: warm, well-polished furnishings, tall ceilings, the rustle of silk draperies in the afternoon breeze and wicker chairs overlooking a quiet courtyard.
Each room has premium bedding with deluxe linens and luxurious, modern baths, many with jetted tubs big enough for two. Slipping into our 600 thread count cotton sheets is a decadent pleasure matched only by the lavish Turkish cotton towels in your bath.

Stoned by terrorists, protected by a lion!/
By Pastor Paul, Director of Bibles for Mideast
My risen Lord Jesus Christ has saved my life once again, and I praise and thank God for His unspeakable grace! Certainly I am not worthy of it.
The Assembly of Loving God (ALG) Church of Bibles for Mideast called for 21 days fasting and prayer from March 13 to April 2. As that drew to a close, more than 3000 former Muslims were baptized in many of our churches in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. The Lord enabled me to baptize many people during this time.
About three weeks ago, I was changing my wet clothes after an early-morning baptism service for one of our churches. Suddenly, militants began stoning me and our group. My head was severely injured and bloodied, and a number of others sustained injuries as well.
Believers rushed me to the nearest hospital. An examination showed serious damage to my skull, so I was transferred to a specialist hospital for immediate surgery. Authorities there, however, refused to do surgery before receiving payment. My poor believing friends somehow managed to comply.
The Islamic militants who had attacked us discovered I was undergoing treatment in that hospital, and plotted to kill me. So the believers shifted me from the hospital to Pastor Ayyoob's house in a nearby forested area.
Pastor Ayyoob lives there with his wife, two young children and 80-year-old mother. Two believers joined us to help care for me. So the eight of us stayed there—with no internet, electricity, piped-in water, or even proper bathrooms. For primary things we used the forest areas and a nearby river.
Believers secretly visited me at the forest home and we would have prayer services together. I stayed there about three weeks.
Last Sunday (April 16, Easter Sunday), we were in the midst of our worship service with Pastor Ayyoob leading. Suddenly, a group of militants reached the house, armed with steel bars and other weapons. We had no idea what to do.
I still hadn't (and have not) fully recovered from the surgery. Pastor Ayyoob's mother is an elderly, sick woman. We also had two children below four years old with us, and a woman seven months pregnant who came for the service.
Militants had found the house by noticing the people attempting to visit me secretly and coming for prayers.
Losing all hope, we thought for sure this was our last day. The children with us started crying. We all joined hand in hands and repeatedly praised and thanked our risen Lord Jesus Christ. We also continually claimed the blood of Jesus Christ as our victory. The pregnant woman suffered pain, but joined in our praises to the Lord.
O Lord Jesus! Praise His Holy Name. Completely unexpectedly, a lion ran from the forest, leapt towards the militants, and seized one by the neck. When other combatants tried to attack the lion, two other lions bounded towards them. The terrified militants fled the site, and the lions left us completely alone. Equally astonishing, records show no lions are supposed to live in that forest.
Due to pressure from officials, we left the forest home yesterday.
Pastor Paul took months to recover, and required further surgery in another hospital. Due to security concerns and threats on his life, he had to leave that hospital early as well. You can read more about that here. Please keep him and the many other Bibles for Mideast workers whose lives are so often in danger in your prayers.

Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'

Although now superseded in terms of accuracy and complexity by 2D flooding, the stored flood type remains one of the most commonly used methods of representing flooding within InfoWorks CS and ICM. The principle is that in some situations, as water floods from a manhole, it forms a pool of water which will return to the same manhole when there is capacity available.As the flood depth increases so does the area the flooding occupies, effectively forming an upturned cone.
It is up to the modeller to ensure the dimensions of this cone match the topography of the area surrounding the manhole. There are some intricacies of representing flood cones which modellers should be aware of which are included in the technical note.

Revitalization of the Parkside District
September 23, 2015
The June 10th AL.com news article, "Regions Field, from idea to home run", outlined how the recent development of Regions Field has ignited growth throughout the Parkside District. The growth began 6 years ago when the President of Corporate Realty, Robert Simon, pitched the idea of a downtown ballpark to Don Logan, the owner of the Birmingham Barons. Simon and other developers and investors put together a proposal and feasibility study for the ballpark. That report estimated the park would generate direct and indirect spending of more than $500 million over 30 years, and economic impacts similar to parks in other cities. Simon knew the importance of location for the new ballpark and strategically planned for Regions Field to be developed around the new Railroad Park, which opened in 2010. Stretching from 14th Street to 18th Street along First Avenue South, Railroad Park has been a monumental success for the City of Birmingham, and was recently named among "10 Best" parks that have helped revive cities. On February 2, 2012, Regions Field broke ground, and on April 10, 2013, the park celebrated its grand opening. Since its opening, the Barons have drawn more than a million fans to Regions Field, and fan attendance has increased every year. The tremendous success of both Regions Field and Railroad Park has fueled growth throughout the Parkside district. Corporate Realty has turned the former Merita Bakery into restaurant and office space now known as Baker's Row. LIV Development is finishing construction on their $30 million LIV Parkside multi-family and retail project. Inland American is also nearing completion of their multi-family building just beyond the left-center field wall of Regions Field. These three supporting projects will continue to transform the downtown area. Regions Field and Railroad Park have contributed immeasurably to the renaissance of Birmingham that we are experiencing today.
Schoel Engineering could not be more proud to have been a part of the design team for many of the projects the article speaks about that have helped revitalize the Parkside district and the City of Birmingham. For Regions Field, Schoel Engineering provided lead Civil Engineering and Surveying services, including the site work design; ALTA, topographic, and boundary surveying services along with coordination for various approvals for the development. In the development of Railroad Park, Schoel Engineering worked closely with the rest of the design team throughout the entire design process. Macknally Land Design developed the initial concept of the stormwater collection and filtration systems and worked closely with Schoel Engineering for the civil engineering and hydrology design. The other projects currently underway in the Parkside District – The Venue, LIV Parkside, and Bakers Row – are all projects that Schoel is proud to serve as the civil engineering and land surveyor. Having surveyed these original downtown city blocks in the 1880s and getting to work on them again today, almost 130 years later, makes this area very special to the team at Schoel Engineering.

The flexor carpi radialis can trigger pain at the wrist if it is overly tight or contains trigger points.
It is a muscle of your forearm that helps to move your hand.
On this page you will learn about its attachment points, functions, pain zones, overload movements, impaired movements, palpation and self-massage.
Excessive muscle tension or trigger points in this muscle can trigger pain at the volar side of your wrist.
If this muscle is too tight or harbors trigger points, it may be that you feel pain with any motion where you flex your fingers and your wrist.
It goes without saying that all the activities listed under the point "Overuse & Trigger Point Development" are probably painful and impaired.

Three years ago, I had the privilege to host a gifted twelve year-old student named Nizar in one of my classes. Nizar was in his first year and immediately demonstrated a broad knowledge and deep understanding in my course (world history). The first test results confirmed my presumption of Nizar's remarkable talents. His test was interchangeable with the correction model. So I tried to challenge Nizar, by enrolling him in a MOOC at Wessely college about Alexander the Great. Motivated by ambition, Nizar studied for nine weeks on his own[1]. In the end, he completed the MOOC with outstanding results. This was quite a big thing back in 2014. The media was all over 'the wonderboy'. The minister congratulated him personally. Thanks to Nizar's achievement, the blessings of blended learning models became more widespread with the greater public in my country.
Blended learning gives me the opportunity to differentiate between the individual needs of my students. It provides self-supported learning opportunities for students like Nizar, while it enables me to plan time for individual coaching remedial teaching for other students. Technology proves helpful to support a more individualized approach in education. Yet, we need to be careful to confuse technology with actual teaching. Blended learning is not about just adding video's and personalized content in the classroom. In any sound pedagogy, the teacher formulates the learning goals and monitors the learning process, while managing the classroom. The teacher motivates, inspires. We should never allow Google and Microsoft to dehumanize any of these components.
This perspective is reflected in a Harvard study on the HarvardX Blended Learning module[2]. The study demonstrates how students tended to conflate the teaching approach with the blended format, responding more to the teaching itself than to how specific online or blended elements worked. Students appreciated the quality of the HarvardX materials, and most found them interesting and engaging. Students valued the increased flexibility and ability to learn at their own pace, but still wanted in-person interactions with faculty and among themselves. The most common student complaint was that online learning opportunities were often redundant with in-class components, as faculty experimented with how to best use class time and encourage participation. In-class activities worked best when they were well-structured, such as when students were given discussion questions, problem sets, or worksheets in advance. In any setting, students cut corners to save time, earn participation points, or get through required assignments or assessments. Many adopted efficiency strategies while watching the online lessons, causing some to integrate the materials in less-than-meaningful ways.
While blended learning modules can be of great help for kids like Nizar, I believe personalized technology will only be of added value when it is incorporated in well-structured classroom pedagogies. Students will always appreciate inter-human contact: meaningful collaboration with peers and a teacher who knows how to challenge them.

Flood and Donaldson at American Men's Studies Association Conference
When the American Men's Studies Association (AMSA) holds its 24th annual conference from March 31 – April 3 this year, Charlie Donaldson and Randy Flood will be in attendance, sharing their work on mascupathy. The conference theme, "(Un)Masking Masculinities: Constructing and Deconstructing Representations of Masculinities" is the perfect occasion for them to offer insights into identifying, preventing, and treating toxic masculinity.
Identifying and Preventing Toxic Masculinity
During the conference, both men, co-founders of the Men's Resource Center and the Institute for the Prevention and Treatment of Mascupathy, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, will offer an applied clinical workshop, "Mascupathy: A New Vision for Understanding and Treating Men and their Masculinities." Additionally, Flood will take part in the Boys to Men session where he will present the paper, Prevention as Possibility: Altogether Boys, co-authored by Ms. Maggie Fry, Advancement Coordinator for the Men's Resource Center. Altogether Boys is a program created by the Men's Resource Center that gives boys the tools they need to make informed choices about masculinity and to build the emotional awareness and relational tools necessary to have fulfilling social and personal relationships through a healthy self-esteem and open-hearted masculinities.
AMSA Conference Resources
Two books, co-authored by Donaldson and Flood, "Stop Hurting the Woman You Love: Breaking the Cycle of Abusive Behavior" and "Mascupathy: Understanding and Healing the Malaise of American Manhood," are being featured and made available at the conference and through the AMSA's newsletter. Both books address the identifying and treating of toxic masculinity.
Visit the AMSA website for more information about the conference, including the schedule of events and activities, and to register on line.

Panyaden School is honoured that our spiritual advisor, Venerable Ajahn Jayasaro was able to visit us in Chiang Mai last week. On 12 July, he gave a public Dhamma talk about the 4 kinds of development that form the foundation of a holistic education and the flourishing of a well-rounded person.
Ven. Ajahn Jayasaro spoke fluently in both Thai and English about these 4 areas, which encompass both our external and internal spheres of development. The first and second spheres concern our physical and social relationships starting from how we can learn to treat our bodies wisely (such as eating a balanced nutrition, getting adequate rest and the like) to how we can relate constructively to the material world of money and possessions, to our families, colleagues, friends and the wider community. The third and fourth spheres are internal, concerning the education of the heart/emotions and of wisdom (panya).
He went on to explain how the application of the 12 wise virtues that are part of the education system at Panyaden, can help towards the constructive development of all these 4 areas. These habits provide a compass and refuge in our daily lives. Their practice can help towards creating a wholesome, bright, positive and kind person who lives a wise and well-balanced life.

Spaghetti & Kale with Egg & Garlic
Comfort food alert! Can you say pasta?
I made this pasta last week for lunch, in between classes, business planning, and cooking dinner for my "team" (a.k.a. Bruce Almighty & the teenager) and it was dreamy good! Regardless of all of the wonderful activity I always take time to sit down and have a peaceful, homemade (whenever possible) nourishing meal midday. And actually, I'm not really a pasta girl, but this was super quick, easy, and so good.
This dish is light but filling and perfect for lunch or dinner on a cozy winter day or evening. Enjoy!
1 package whole wheat spaghetti (cooked according to directions)
1 bunch baby kale
1-2 farm fresh eggs, beaten
2-3 cloves garlic, sliced thinly
Dried Cranberries (optional)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Kosher/Sea Salt
Pepper OR chili pepper flakes
Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Heat pan, add oil and sauté garlic and kale. Drain pasta, saving a bit of boiling water, and place back in pot (Do not rinse!). Quickly add beaten eggs and a bit more olive oil and toss. Add sautéed garlic and kale. Season with salt & pepper. Add a few dried cranberries (optional) and bit more olive oil to top. Serve and enjoy!

DIY has never been more doable.
Inhuman Records is a Brooklyn based art collective bringing together fresh creators of all mediums. We are currently working on a comprehensive campaign with content creation company, Spot On.
Founder, Ryan Chernin, first started IR as a means of managing and distributing his own content. however, surrounded by talented friends and artists, it didn't take long to see the countless, invaluable opportunities to collaborate.
It just makes more sense to work together, to help each other bring to life the seemingly unachievable products of our imaginations.
Art is at once profoundly human and frustratingly surreal. It's the great intangible, made material. It's our our way of wearing absurdity and truth as armor, to face our daily dragons. Above all, it's how we express and communicate. Sure, art doesn't always make sense; but it lets us access something beyond plain existence, and that's humanity.
