One of my favorite stories this time of year is from Charles Dickens… A Christmas Carol. This isn't really going anywhere in terms of this week's cooking segment of In The Kitchen With Scotty, but it did get me thinking about a classic Christmas Dinner.
Roast turkey and ham are the most popular and familiar choices… basically, a repeat of one month ago and Thanksgiving. My preference is for a good old fashion "Sunday Roast" English style, the Standing Beef Rib Roast & Yorkshire Pudding.
If this will be your first go at a standing rib roast, leave it to the professionals to trim your roast… namely your favorite butcher. You are going to want a bone in rib roast trimmed, "Frenched" and tied. Now, what does all that mean?
Trimmed just means the roast is free of any overabundance of fat from the roast. Yes, you will want of plenty of fat to keep the roast flavorful, but there is a big old fat cap on top of the rib roll that you will not want to consume, let alone pay for when it comes to "price per pound". Don't worry, the butcher is going to get his money in the end for prepping this roast for you.
"Frenched" just means your want the rib bones free of any meat, scraped down, and exposed. It makes it "prettier" and more interesting visually. A definite classic appearance when roasting this cut of meat.
Tied means the roast is trimmed, the bones are frenched and the roast has been properly prepared, you want it to be trussed or rolled and tied properly for roasting.
Now the classic Yorkshire Pudding. No, it is not pudding, Puddin'! Pudding in the English vernacular refers to any baked item sweet or savory… click this Yorkshire pudding link to read all about it. Yorkshire pudding just adds that side dish appeal to the roast and is the best catch-all for the savory sauce and "bark" from the roast. It truly is a treat!
For The Roast:
A 3-4 rib Standing Rib Roast, 6- 6.5 pounds
In The Kitchen With Scotty "The Roast Beast" Seasoning
3-4 whole carrots, large chopped
1 large yellow onion, large chopped
3-4 ribs Celery, large chopped
3 large cloves fresh garlic
Fresh Thyme sprigs, about five
1 cup Dry Red Wine
1/2 cup Beef Stock
- Have your butcher "French Trim" and tie your roast. Catch this segment Tuesday morning and I will do a quick demonstration, otherwise Google it, if you wish to do this on your own. I say go for it!
- Preheat your oven to 550 degrees Fahrenheit. Coat the entire rib roast with my Roasted Beast seasoning….or, if you are temporarily out (wink wink) a nice blend of Beau Monde seasoning or salt and fresh cracked pepper will work. Not as good, but it will work.
- Chop the onions, carrots and celery and place on the bottom of a roasting pan. Add the fresh whole garlic cloves and fresh sprigs of thyme.
- Place the roast on top of the mirepoix, fat side up and place into the oven. Immediately turn down your heat to 350 degrees and roast 10-15 minutes per pound. The desired internal temp of the roast for medium rare should be 120 degrees. Thus a good and reliable MEAT THERMOMETER is your best friend when roasting this beautiful piece of meat. My roast cooked for 1 hour 25 minutes and I pulled it out when the thermometer read 120 degrees. The temperature will rise, known as "carry-over cooking" once out of the oven, with a final cooking temp of 125 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove the roast from the pan and set aside covered in foil to rest. Skim off as much of the rendered fat drippings as you can. This "tallow" is a perfect use when making the classic Yorkshire Pudding.
- Over medium-high heat on your stovetop begin heating the roasting pan with the drippings and mirepoix still inside. Gently pour in the red wine and scrape up (deglaze) all the delicious cooked bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer and then add the beef stock. Gently cook the wine and stock along with the roasted mirepoix until the sauce is reduced and thickened. Strain out into a sauce boat and keep warm until service.
- When ready to serve the roast keep in mind that each "rib" section of the roast will serve 2-3 people. You may slice off large portions for any heavy eaters, or slice thinly for smaller portions. I say go big... It is Christmas after all!
For The Yorkshire Pudding:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups whole milk
Pinch Kosher Salt
2-3 tablespoons Rendered beef fat from the roast or Grapeseed oil/Canola Oil
In a blender add your milk and eggs and give it a good pulse or two to combine. Next, add your flour and salt, and blend until smooth and frothy. Pour into a container, preferably something pourable like a batter bowl or large liquid measuring cup. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes to overnight.
After your roast is out of the oven and is resting covered, pour off as much of the fat drippings that you can. Ig you haven't got quite 2-3 tablespoons then supplement with a flavorless oil such as grapeseed or canola oil. If you prefer not to use the pan drippings, using straight oil will be just fine.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. In a popover pan or medium sized cupcake pan, add 2-3 teaspoons of the rendered drippings/oil to each of the individual wells. Position the oven rack one level up from the center and place the pan into the oven. The pan and oil must be sizzling/smoking hot before you pour in the Yorkshire pudding batter. Let it heat up about five minutes.
Gently slide the rack out using a hot-pad… don't burn your fingers, and pour in the batter 3/4 full. You know the oil and pan are ready when the batter sizzles while pouring it in. Gently slide the rack and pan back into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Pull them out when golden brown and serve right away alongside your roast. They are the best vehicle for soaking up the delicious wine sauce reduction and crust bits from the outside of the roast.
Wishing you and yours a very Happy Christmas…. And a Merry time eating! Cheers!

|Top // Whirl
Bottom // Twig
Middle // Velvet Teddy
The trend of dark nude lipsticks doesn't seem to be going away any time soon, and 'the' place to go seems to be Mac. So I thought I would share with you my three most worn nude Mac shades that I think are very fitting for this worldwide trend.
This is a more recent addition to my nude Mac collection and it is a little different from my other two shades as it is a lot more of a bolder option for a lip colour. It is more of a berry nude shade that looks gorgeous when applied with a little bit of liner and a simple makeup look. I love this shade and it is the perfect nude if you want that something a little extra to add to your makeup but you're not really a fan of very deep berry or red shades. It is the lip colour to get if you want your fair share of a bold lip.
This nude shade is similar to 'Whirl' as it is more of a berry, red toned nude. This was my first deep nude and I will admittedly say that I don't wear this particular colour enough because I do wear the other two a lot more often as I feel that the suit my skin tone a little better. Nevertheless, do not be mistaken that this is a gorgeous nude, but I think it is a little more suited to darker skin tones than mine.
Velvet Teddy
The cult favourite Mac nude. I took my time getting my hands on this because it was always sold out in store, so in the end I had to order it online. This is the famous 'Kylie Jenner' colour. Compared to my other two shades it is more into the brown spectrum of nude lipsticks. 'Velvet Teddy' is my favourite nude shade and it is a lipstick I wear almost everyday that I wear makeup. I love the way it looks with my skin tone and think that it would suit any complexion. It is such a versatile shade that can be kept neutral or build up to an intense colour, either way it looks lovely paired with any kind of eye look both simple and bold.

2015 Engineering Recognition Ceremony 8 a.m., Saturday, May 16, 2015 Allen Fieldhouse
The University of Kansas School of Engineering Recognition Ceremony will be from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., Saturday, May 16, at Allen Fieldhouse, 1651 Naismith Dr. The event honors students who have applied to graduate during the spring and summer semesters. A reception for graduates, their family and friends, faculty and staff will take place in an open-air tent south of Hoglund Ballpark near Oliver Hall immediately after the ceremony.
It's a great day made even more joyous when we all know what to expect.
The event starts promptly at 8 a.m. Tickets for guests are not required. Special seating has been reserved for guests with limited mobility; however, to ensure all guests with mobility concerns are accommodated, we ask that parties limit their use of reserved seating to those who need it and one additional companion. Guests who can comfortably use stairs are encouraged to seat themselves higher. Those who have not already done so should please email the School of Engineering of guests with special needs.
Due to the ongoing construction on at the Allen Fieldhouse, there will be no seating available to the east of the court. There will still be ample seating in all other areas.
The School of Education ceremony begins shortly after the conclusion of the School of Engineering ceremony. To better accommodate all KU graduates, guests are asked to meet their graduate at the reception area. In the event of inclement weather the reception will be canceled.
Parking is available near Allen Fieldhouse. A complete KU parking map is available here.
Guests are encouraged to use Lot 90 to the east of Allen Fieldhouse. A limited number of additional parking spaces will be available in Lot 112 and Lot 127 to the south of Hoglund Ballpark near Oliver Hall. Handicap parking spaces are available in Lot 70 and Lot 71 immediately south of Allen Fieldhouse. Additionally, Allen Fieldhouse Drive will be open to allow drop-off of friends and family with limited mobility. Those attending the ceremony are advised to avoid using the parking garage north of Allen Fieldhouse. KU Parking and Transit has announced that the Allen Fieldhouse Garage will be open and free for all guests on May 16 and May 17. However, because a different ceremony is scheduled in the Fieldhouse at 10:30 a.m., significant delays are expected at the exits at the conclusion of the engineering ceremony. There will also be a reduced number of available spaces in the parking garage this year due to construction of the DeBruce Center.

Quote of the Day - Lulled in the countless chambers of the brain, our thoughts are linked by many a hidden chain; awake but one, and in what myriads rise!
Blazing Broadband AccessThe Law.com Technology Center features a fine article about striking a balance about remote access. The article ends up advocating GoToMyPC, now owned by Citrix.
I've used the Citrix server in the past as well as GoToMyPC. The Citrix server solution is unbelieveably expensive for a small firm. The GoToMyPC solution is moderately expensive and it works well.
Wayne Smith, the author of the Law.com Technology Center article thought that a VPN was too difficult for his small firm of 30 attorneys because it involved management of too many client computers.
We've had the opposite experience.
We use a SonicWall for hardware security and a three-level password interface. The Microsoft VPN is very easy to set up, especially on client computers. In fact, with just a small amount of coaching, our attorneys have been able to virtually do it themselves. Plus, it's encrypted.
The best part? Microsoft VPN costs nothing more to add or use. It's included in XP and our Windows 2003 server.
We had already paid for it. It's nice to use the server software to its fullest extent without having to pay for additional software and configurations.

If you have any doubts about this year being a particularly serious flu season, you can put those to rest.
The Catholic Church is suggesting their parishioners stay home if they have the flu.
Here's a letter from Wilton D. Gregory, Archbishop of Atlanta, being shared with local Catholic churches and parishioners.
Many parts of the country, including Georgia, have been hit particularly hard by influenza this winter. We continue to monitor both the guidance of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and our local situation. We will be in touch immediately if it seems appropriate to take more significant steps, such as temporarily suspending Communion from the chalice or on the tongue.
At this point, anyone experiencing flu-like symptoms should be advised not to attend Sunday Mass (or other parish activities), partake from the chalice or participate in the exchange of the Sign of Peace. The possibility of infection with influenza represents a sufficient reason not to attend Sunday Mass, and obviates the Sunday obligation.
The USCCB Secretariat on Divine Worship has posted vital information regarding the flu: http://www.usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/sacred-art-and-music/influenza-and-the-liturgy.cfm I urge you to familiarize yourself and your parish family with the information presented there.
The memo went to pastors in the archdiocese, but some pastors shared it with their parishioners. Spokeswoman Paula Gwynn Grant said the archdiocese sent the memo as guidance following news reports about the severity of the flu and reports that some hospital emergency rooms were full. She said the archdiocese has not received any complaints about sick parishioners. "This was just being proactive," she said.

Click this link to check out the wait times: https://hospitals.myajc.com/
Retiree Delores Jean Brannan has been going to St. Anthony of Padua Church for more than five decades.
Lately, she's noticed more parishioners are skipping sipping from the communion chalice. When people prepare to get the communion wafer, out comes the hand sanitizer.
"I've never seen that before," she said.
"I would not want someone sitting next to me who was coughing all the time," Brannan said. "If you're sick or have a cold, I think you should stay home."
She said she recently joked during choir rehearsal that "we've got to stop doing the rite of peace for a while with all this flu going around," she said. "This flu epidemic is rough."
When giving the sign of peace, many Catholics shake hands or hug those around them.
The Archdiocese of Santa Fe recently issued guidelines for those concerned about the flu:
- Instead of shaking hands or hugging during the 'Sign of Peace,' just nod your head.
- Fold your hands when praying the "Our Father" instead of holding hands.
- Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion should wash their hands just before and after distribution of Holy Communion .
- If you are sick, sneezing or coughing, it would be best for you to stay home. You are welcome to take advantage of the Sunday TV Masses which are available in English and Spanish. It is not a sin to miss Mass on Sundays if you are ill.
The archdiocese said the directives will be "revoked when the situation improves."
Don Plummer, a spokesman for the Atlanta Episcopal Diocese, said no guidelines have been issues so far.
"The culture in the Episcopal Church traditionally is that if you are sick "you dip the wafer into the wine, rather than take the wine directly from the cup."

Project: Inktober
Client: Glitschka Studios
Licensing: Available
Drawing is like any other skill, the more you do it, the better you'll get. And if you can make the process enjoyable, then you'll be able to sustain it as well.
That's why for my Inktober drawings I just picked topics and themes I thought would be fun. I didn't bother following any so-called rules. I was going to do one drawing per day, but once I started, I couldn't stop and ended up doing 78 drawings total. It was a lot of fun.
Inktober Gallery
Drawing Tools
Here's the creative arsenal I used for my Inktober drawings:
- Pilot Pocket Brush Pen (Soft)
- Prismacolor White Colored Pencil
Inktober Creative Process
All of my Inktober drawings shown above start with a rough pencil sketch, I then ink the line work using a Japanese brush pen. Then I erase any pencil lines and do wash detailing with gray Copic marker colors C2-C5. This video documents this process.

Having issues along with your laptop touch-pad since upgrading? We tend to have some troubleshooting steps:
As we have to mentioned countless times elsewhere, whereas Windows 10 is nice the upgrade method has not gone smoothly for several folks. One of the more common complaints we've seen and one that we've seen most often ourselves – are laptops that develop serious touch-pad problems when the update.
Because there are so many devices on the market, we're going to keep these tips general, but they ought to apply to most Dell, Lenovo, HP, Acer and Asus laptops along with other laptop makers. Common issues embrace laptop speakers emitting a beep when the touch-pad is used, the touch-pad being too slow or too sensitive, or the touch-pad merely not operating.
Basic solutions
First, some basic troubleshooting solutions before you head for the a lot of advanced solutions below. Is the touch-pad switched on? It's unlikely, however you may have accidentally disabled it, especially if your laptop incorporates a shortcut key for this. Check the prime row of your keyboard for anything that appears sort of a touch-pad – normally a sq. with a cross through it or a finger reaching for a square. Faucet the button you've got identified to strive and reactivate the touch-pad (some older and business laptops still need you to hold down the FN key to flip the operate buttons into shortcuts before tapping the proper button).
Is your cursor moving wildly whenever you kind? You might be able to solve this using Windows 10's engineered-in choices. Open Begin Menu and just sort 'Mouse' and click on on 'Mouse and touch-pad settings'. Under the Touch-pad heading, you'll modification the delay between you typing and also the touch-pad being activated. If it's currently set to 'No delay (forever on)', this means your touch-pad will accept any inputs, whether or not you are typing at the time. By increasing the delay you will stop the touch-pad from accepting inputs till a brief time when you have stopped typing, that should cut back this.
Is your laptop supported?
This is an important question if you haven't already upgraded and are worried regarding future issues. Given Microsoft's controversial new strategy of constructing Windows 10 a 'recommended' update that's nearly impossible to avoid, you may have had no choice in the matter. This is particularly annoying as not every laptop from each manufacturer will support Windows 10. Every laptop manufacturer has a dedicated web page that tells you which of them of its models, past and present, support Windows 10.
Dell features a complete list of devices tested with Windows 10. It's not essentially exhaustive however; these are laptops that have been tested
If your laptop is not supported and you've got already upgraded, you're not while not hope. Sometimes simply updating to the most recent version of your drivers is enough to repair hardware issues.
If you haven't already upgraded, it's in all probability worth disabling the update altogether. This is not as simple because it should be and requires third-party software to try to to so. We have a guide for this in our Windows ten installation guide, with information regarding disabling the update at the underside of the article.
Stuck on Windows 10?
Our steps here can be terribly broad strokes that should be repeatable with most laptops. There are a few ways to go concerning this, and we tend to'll begin with the best.
Your initial choice is to use Device Manager. To do that, right-click on the Begin Menu icon and choose Device Manager. Look for 'Mice and alternative pointing devices' and click on the touch-pad. These might be labelled in many completely different ways depending on manufacturer: examples embrace Dell Touch-Pad, Synaptics Touch-pad and ELAN Touch-pad. Right-click on and choose 'Update Driver Software' and then 'Search automatically for updated driver software'. Windows will look on-line to see if there are any updated drivers for your device. If it can't find any, it's going to merely say you have got the best drivers available, that could or may not be true.
Your next port of decision is that the manufacturer's website for your laptop. All laptop makers can have 'support' pages for every laptop they've sold, and most will have downloads for all the essential drivers available for each one. Most can say when their driver downloads were last updated, so if your drivers have been updated since to procure your laptop you may be in luck. Download and then install the relevant drivers and see if that works.
If not, you'll be able to attend your laptop's touch-pad manufacturer directly. To notice out what sort of touch-pad you've got, use Device Manager within the steps made public on top of. Having worked out who makes your touch-pad, you'll take the following steps.
For Dell Laptop touch-pad , you can go direct to the Dell web site and download a generic Windows 10 driver for your touch-pad. This might stop some device-specific functions from operating, such as multi-touch gestures that are distinctive to your machine.

Morgan Stanley is just getting crushed lately.
In the second quarter, the firm got burned being on the wrong side of the inflation trade (again).
Most recently, Morgan Stanley's interest rate group, bet that inflation expectations for the next five years would rise in Treasury markets, while forecasts for the next 30 years would fall, according to Investment News.
Investment News writes:
The spread between the 30-year and the 5-year breakeven rates, which Morgan Stanley was said to be short, has more than tripled to 69.2 basis points yesterday from a low of 19.7 basis points on May 2... the bank's interest-rates trading group lost at least tens of millions of dollars on the trade.
We wonder if the group's head, Glenn Hadden, will see his job at risk.
Word is that it cost Jack DiMaio (the former head of the group) his job in the fourth quarter of last year, when he predicted that the interest rates on Treasuries would trend up, towards 5%. Of course they trended down, towards more like 2.5%. He left Morgan Stanley in January 2011.
Someone familiar with the trade says, "[DiMaio] was very short Treasuries overall in Q42010. This time Morgan Stanley was long inflation-backed bonds. They need some better interest rate traders in the firm."

Good one, Ralf :)
enjoyed this Ralf
Nice one..
Take care Ralf :)
Was ist erlaubt und was nicht? Gut, wenn man Öko-Wein trinkt, wie ich. Hübsch kritisch und ein wenig provokativ. Das gefällt mir. Ein Haiku darf ruhig kritisch sein!
What's allowed, what's not? I prefer wine which is grown organical. That's my advantage. Your ku is quite critical and a bit provocative. I like that! Haiku may also be critical!
Best wishes
Egri Bikaver... my favored red; I think 'tis time to pour a glass... . Like this, Ralf! _m
I like this. I keep two blogs: one is for haiku. I hope you would pass by.
a quiet piece of humour here, Ralf... I like it
I love it, Ralf. :)
Thanks a lot, everybody. And a warm welcome to Nana.
@ Rudi: Sometimes describing reality is the strongest way to criticise.
Best wishes
@_m I prefer Bordeaux, but I also like Shiraz from Australia, Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile and Malbec from Argentina. In Germany we've got some very fine Riesling from the Rhinegau (my favourite area). Of course Rudi knows wine from his area and will say they are excellent. But I have to admit that I don't get Trollinger, Riesling and Silvaner out of the Remstal here.
Best wishes

In an Ask Me Anything (AMA) thread on Reddit, Adams took part in a Q&A session with his fans. While most questions focused on Adams and Suits, the conversation soon turned to Adams' co-star, Meghan Markle. He was inevitably asked to comment on her relationship with Prince Harry, 32.
Adams, 35, plays Mike Ross, Rachel Zane, Markle's on-screen character's, fiance. Since the show's beginning in 2011, the two have become close friends, so who better to comment on the royal romance?
"Hey Patrick! What's it like making out on-screen with the potentially future princess of England?" wrote Reddit user swaminator201.
"The same as it was before she was potentially a future princess of England," Adams responds.
Sadly, Adams neither confirms nor denies that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are planning to walk down the aisle any time soon. But we're getting excited anyway!
MUST-SEE: Prince Harry Caught Looking Red-faced After This Sly Remark About His New Girlfriend
After all, considering Markle, 35, has already met Kate Middleton and the encounter apparently went "really well," another royal wedding really might be in the works. Prince Harry has met Meghan Markle's father, who approves of his daughter's relationship. Even Queen Elizabeth is reportedly "fully supportive" of her grandson's girlfriend.
Since their relationship went public in late 2016, the two have tried to keep their relationship low-key. The pair were photographed together for the first time in December, and since then they have slowly become more open with the press.
Initially, Markle was the target of trolls, facing abuse and scorn in both newspapers and on the Internet. Her boyfriend quickly stepped in defend her, and Kensington Palace sent out a news release about the harassment.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are said to have met at the Invictus Games, an event Prince Harry started to honor wounded military veterans. And with approval from both families, and similar interests in humanitarian causes, these lovebirds look like the perfect match!

Install Google Chrome On Computers Not Connected To Internet Using Standalone Installer and Portable App
Google Chrome is installed with the help of an online installer. When we try to install, It first downloads a 475 KB Installer Application and upon starting the installation process it downloads another 7 MB package from Google servers to complete the installation.
This installation model works well for the users who has Internet connection. But how to install Google Chrome on a computer that is not connected to Internet?
Standalone Installer
Luckily there is Google Chrome Standalone Installer to solve the problem. The stand alone installer is a full setup package that can be downloaded once and then use it to install Google Chrome on any computer. And another advantage of using standalone installer is – we can get rid of the Google Updater software. Google update software is installed automatically when we install Google Chrome using the online installer.
Download Google Chrome Standalone Installer[Latest Version]
Portable Application
Google Chrome is also available as a portable application – an application setup that does not require any installation, just unzip the package and start using it.
You can download 11 MB portable application from Carsten's German web site [English Version]

|President Obama & Sec Clinton having a chit-chat
The Question of whether she is the most qualified candidate America has ever had for a presidential candidate has never been so answered; for those who had doubts, she came to stage and spoke it with illustration(s), verve and swagger throughout the 90 minutes of the debate at Hofstra University. She eloquently made it clear to her opponent that not only did she prepare for the debate, that her opponent seemed to have been so yappy about; but also proved and lived to the hype of what was expected of her: she mopped the floor with the Donald, I have never laughed so loud, at an ignorant bigot being thumped by an intelligent woman.
|Hillary Clinton at the Debate.Source:Huffington Post
The greatest riddle of this political time; the election time, is one: will Americans hand over the presidency to the man whose ignorance is covered under the avalanche of lies and delusion of grandeur—I attempted to draw a clear cut for this bigot and outright racist, I came up with an idea and I don't intend to keep it a secret; Donald Trump is a true definition of fundamental mental derangement. It is not secret that Donald Trump built his campaign on racism and bigotry and has sailed along with the ignorant and equally bigoted white supremacists and another seriously ignorant sect of the American voters. While so many may have waited for this man's rhetoric to change, it's the biggest illusion anyone can be blinded into, he can't go against something that gives him the attention he desperately loves: Donald Trump has an attention deficiency disorder that bred the birther movement that he has since promoted that even the last ounce of hope for him to apologize to President Obama has hit a futile attempt. The bigot doesn't seem to notice saying sorry would have sort of redeemed him but we are so 'lucky' to know what precedes his rhetoric—utter racism and outright white supremacy.
|Hilary Clinton gives word salad to the Donald at the debate
One of the plays I did in my earlier school days, THE TWELFTH NIGHT by William Shakespeare will help me explain how dumb Donald Trump is.The truly intelligent Hillary Clinton called this bigot and cheat to his refusal to release his tax returns; he stupidly responded claiming to be a smart man who doesn't pay taxes, actually even doubled down after the debate in an interview saying it again—that should insult the intelligence of every hard working American citizen to find a con man like the Donald leading a major party and the shame should tag along with the whole batch of the republican party that are promoting this empty head to the biggest job on earth.Well,I want seal this with one of the characters from the Shakespearean play,Malvolio,an equally stupid man like Donald Trump. Not knowing he was making a mockery of himself, Malvolio utters these words: "some people are born great. Some achieve greatness and to others greatest is thrust upon them"—hand so is the man who says he is smart by evading taxes.
What Americans ought to realize is that the job to be president is not one where anyone who can write his name correctly ought to seek, it takes more than this, it takes intelligence and a sane temperament—that Donald Trump lacks epically. A man famous for "Aleppo moments"; Gary Johnson, who can definitely spell and right his name rightly is out there,too,running to be president of the biggest nation: the most recent being; Gary Johnson can't name the leader, of the world leaders, that he admires so much—I saw him on national television, he deflated!
This election season has been one about addressing the different perils that the United States is facing today and one of the key things is the issue of religion—one of the presidential candidates has built his infamous campaign on the lame rhetoric of religious tests and building walls, mistaking that utter foolery for the move to make "America Great Again"; totally bonkers in all truth and honesty. I will be very quick to fetch something that I find very relevant from October 3rd 1983; a speech by Edward M. Kennedy, Truth and Tolerance in America, at Liberty University, Lynchburg, VA.A very relevant and important extract almost over 40 years ago:
"there are those who do, and their own words testify to their innocence.Forexample, because the moral majority has worked with members of different denominations, one fundamentalist group has denounced Dr. [Jerry] Fallwell for hastening the ecumenical church for "yoking together with roman Catholics, Mormons and others". I am relieved that Dr.Fallwell doesn't regard that as sin, and on the issue, he himself has become the target of narrow prejudice. When people agree public policy, they ought to be able to work together, even while they worship diverse ways. For truly we all yorked together as Americans, and the yoke is the happy one of the individual freedom and mutual respect
But in saying we cannot and should not turn aside from deeper and more pressing question—which is whether and how religion should influence government. A generation ago, a presidential candidate had to prove his undue religious in public life, and he had to do so partly at the insistence of evangelicals. John F Kennedy said at that time: "I believe in America where there is no religious bloc voting of any kind". Only twenty years later, another candidate was appealing to to a[n] evangelical meeting as a religious bloc. Ronald Reagan said to 15 thousand evangelicals at the roundtable in Dallas: "I know that you can't endorse me.I want you to know I endorse what you are doing". Before I leave this, I want to remind you how the republican nominee can't name his best verse in the bible, that he claims to read a lot, but can only attempt to rename one of the books of the New Testament, "Two Corinthians"—it is telling and guess what; runs out on that day, he was being endorsed by Falwell Jr at Liberty University.
"My experience at Princeton has made far more aware of my "blackness" than ever before. I have found that at Princeton no matter how liberal or open minded some of my white professors try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I don't really belong. Regardless of the circumstances under which I interact with the whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be black first and a student second.{remember some people say the black lives matter movement is a terrorist orgbaisation,let me settle it, read on}
Stokley Carmichael and Charles Hamilton's (1967) developed definitions of Seperationism in their discussion of black power which guided me in the formulation and use of this concept in the study: "the concept of black power rests on the fundamental premise: before a group can enter the open society, it must close ranks. By this we mean that group solidarity is necessary before a group can operate effectively from a bargaining position of strength in a pluralistic society"
If there is anything that the presidential race has taught me, as an eternal optimist, I have often geared myself into the greatest riddle of our time when the perils of fate and all else are at our doorstep—and it is asks the Question loudly, do we just sublime to the fear rhetoric when all proof shows that we can push it through it? Now that is what I would like my American friends to look into. America maybe riddled with some upheavals here and there but giving in to fear isn't an option to choose, knowing we are stronger together is the viable option, forget the empty and sound-tough make America Great Again. By the end of next month, many American voters are going to be disappointed in the ignorant choice they made of choosing an ignorant racist to lead them at their party level; that is Donald Trump—it is often called the buyer's remorse, the Donald is a very rotten apple that I wouldn't advise anyone to buy. The truth of the matter, Hillary Clinton has been gored, by the impure rhetoric from the republican hate mongers for almost three decades. I will enlighten it with the power of suggestion that many ignorant people follow: "I hate Hillary.Don't you hate Hillary? Everyone hates Hillary', Umm; Yes I hate Hillary, too, I guess". If you study psychology, you will not have trouble understanding this, welcome to the human race.
|President Obama has a message and it is spot on
When I wrote a letter to President Obama and Michelle, copied in President Bill Clinton and Hillary; I strongly called her a woman of valor. I wrote a piece about month later and said succinctly that Hillary Clinton will do the job. I have written many articles since for and on behalf of a volunteer team from Uganda that has been in her corner throughout. As I wrote the endorsement as a final wrap up before the debates, I thought I was cutting it with a seal on her very much admired qualifications for the job. Here we are, the first debate has spoken and if there is one thing I can't wait to write, it is the November Success story. The New York Times should be kind to give me space for my column, I pray so.President Obama eloquently said a vote for a third party is a vote for Donald Trump, let's not fail to hear that message. Go the Voting booth and do what you are supposed to do, "don't boo, vote": STRONGER TOGETHER.

Good and Bad Fats: Know What They Are
What do you think of when you hear "fat"? Few people will think of something beneficial or positive, but fat is necessary for survival and surrounds every cell in your body.
An inadequate supply of "good" fats will weaken cell membranes. Some dietary fats are very valuable for the body, while others are hazardous.
Monounsaturated Fats
● These fats reduce body-wide inflammation (which can lead to heart disease and cancer). These fats can lower the
risk of heart disease and cancer.
● Foods richest in monounsaturated fats include almonds, avocados, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, olives
(and the oil), peanuts, pecans, pistachios and sesame seeds.
Polyunsaturated Fats
● These are the EFAs: essential fatty acids, called so because the body cannot make them; they must be obtained from food or supplements.
● EFAs reduce inflammation and assist in healing.
● Omega-3s are a type of EFA, and there are several kinds of omega-3s. More commonly known omega-3s are DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA
(eicosapentaenoic acid), found in fish oil supplements, fish like salmon, and algae.
● GLA, gamma-linoleic acid, is an omega-3, found in seeds (hemp, evening primrose and borage oils) and spirulina.
● ALA, alpha-linoleic acid, is an omega-3 found in pumpkin, flax and chia seeds, and walnuts.
● Another EFA is the omega-6, of which linoleic acid is the main one, obtained from seeds and grains. Supplementation isn't necessary because omega-6 is
prevalent in the typical diet from oils (canola, safflower, sunflower, soybean and corn).
● Polyunsaturated fats are found in most plants.
Saturated Fats
These fats are found in animal products, and palm and coconut oil. The saturated fats in the plants are actually beneficial, while the ones from animals, when consumed excessively, are linked to heart disease. Sat fats can lower the good cholesterol, HDL.
Trans Fats
You've probably heard of these, and for good reason: They're poison. They're produced by the hydrogenation process of polyunsaturated oils.
This process changes the molecular structure, resulting in a toxin that has been linked to thousands of heart attacks in the U.S. every year, not to mention many more cases of heart disease. Trans fats can lead to inflammation and higher LDL (bad) cholesterol levels.
If a product contains "partially hydrogenated" oils of some sort, don't eat it. If the ingredients just say "hydrogenated," this can still be partially, so don't eat that, either. Trans fats also go by the name "shortening." If you see "interestified fat" in the ingredients, avoid it; this manmade fat is just as bad as trans fats.
How much?
● Avoid trans/interestified fats
● Limit sat fats (e.g., bacon, sausage, conventional meats, processed meats, dairy, whole eggs)
● Base your diet on poly- and monounsaturated fats (e.g., whole grains, nuts and seeds, some beans, fish, wild game, grass fed beef, organic poultry)
● Don't forget fruit and vegetables in all of this (ideally organic)
Don't cook with olive oil because the high heat makes it bad. Instead, eat it raw in salads with vinegar: a 1:1 ratio. Cook with coconut oil.

These discussions provide fabulous opportunities to help grow our child's worldview biblically. A child's worldview provides the soil and seed from which his/her character sprouts from. Biblical worldview is essential to grow godly character.
5 Areas of Discussion to Help Cultivate Your Child's Worldview Biblically
1. Discuss Truth
What is truth, anyway? There's relative truth, and there is absolute truth. It is fundamental that our children understand the difference between the two. Reading aloud gives us ample opportunity to prepare them for discerning truth in the real world.
In the book, "Red is Best", of course the little girl declares with complete bias that, "red is best!". Is it true that red is best? Well, it is to this little girl, and that is okay. For me, blue is best. It's not a moral issue. Amoral preferences (such as colours and tastes) are relative. They can be different for different people.
If she were to declare that Jesus is not the son of God, the children need to know that her declaration does not change or affect truth. The fact that Jesus is the son of God does not change, it is not relative to opinion. It is a biblically declared and absolute truth.
They need to understand what truths are absolute, and why. We can compromise on all the other stuff, but not the absolutes of scripture.
2. Discuss and Evaluate Societal & Cultural Issues
These issues may be more or less obscure, depending on the book.
Books will reflect contemporary societal issues. We may catch subtle gestures provoking doubt in our child of his gender (or what determines it) or his sexual orientation. Why does our society believe that one can choose his sex? Is this true?
We can teach them evaluation of these issues they will face with a heart of compassion and an emphasis on the need for the gospel. It also eliminates the awkwardness of these issues spontaneously popping up in public amongst a mixed group, and strong opinions. It will prepare them for these opportunities, and can even give them gospel opportunities through them (which will only be achievable if they're prepared for it).
There will also be opportunities to evaluate cultural belief systems in the light of truth, right and wrong.
3. Reading Aloud Gives Opportunity to See Life From a Different Vantage Point
I think seeing life from another's point of view, and understanding that we all process life and information differently is essential in growing in compassion, humility, and respect for others. Literature often offers us a variety of vantage points on the issues of life, and we are wise to seize the opportunity to discuss these with our children.
4. Discuss and Grow in Discernment
Books give a plethora of opportunities to grow in discernment.
Choices, for instance, are a fact of life, and we are faced with them everyday. We make good choices, and we also make bad choices. Characters in the stories we read are no different. It is easier, however, from a third person point of view to make objective decisions. As the reader, we can seize the opportunity of evaluating one's circumstances in a biblical, objective way. We can ask questions like, what choice would you make? Why?
Stories provide perfect object lessons to apply the biblical truths we are teaching our kids during family devotions, and that they are learning in their own time in the Word.
5. Discuss Critical Thinking Skills, Life Skills, and Logic
My son struggles with logic, and so I try to take full advantage of as many opportunities as I can to help him in his reasoning. Helping a character problem solve within the context of a story we are reading is a great step toward personal problem solving.
Learning to think critically and solve problems are life skills that will help us to adapt within whatever context the Lord has us in our life. The ability to adapt will help us to embrace where we are when we're there. I believe this is a major component that fosters a contented rather than resentful spirit. This is important if we are to flourish in our christian life.
When we moved to the Middle East, this is one area I felt unprepared in. There were a variety of problems to solve- missing ingredients for favourite recipes, how to homeschool with no English resources, how to help my children embrace a culture that doesn't embrace them etc. We were able to have lots of hands-on opportunities to grow in this area. I learned a great deal about how to improvise, for instance. To make do, and find joy with what we did have. These skills are part of problem solving… had I been more equipped in this area, I think some of the stresses and resentments of my first couple years overseas could have been eliminated.
Well, there we have it. I am sure you will find, as do I, that these times of discussion are simultaneously as good for us as they are for our children.
In the next Flourishing At Home posts, I have prepared some picture books we have loved as a family. We sure have found some treasures along the way… but we've also learned to treasure the simple.
Growing together…

It's not enough to make sure your plastic bags are biodegradable. Now, you'd better make sure your body is, too.
Dying to hear why green is the new black? A crowd of people are expected to gather Saturday at Berkeley's Grace North Church for the Green Funeral Fair.
Think about it: Doesn't cremation cause carbon emissions? And is that pine box made from sensitively harvested wood?
The truth is we start pummeling the planet from birth -- 3.1 million pounds of CO2 over the average lifetime, Mother Jones estimates -- and our impact doesn't stop after death.
"Now we're disconnected from the land, we're busy living in cities and we think we are going to live forever in a culture that worships youth and doesn't easily see the beauty of older people," fair organizer Liz O'Connell-Gates told the Berkeley Voice.
It's not clear how the beauty of older people will shine through six feet under. But this much is true: When we're buried in the ground, we'll be more connected to the planet.

The chosen people
a word turned into a thorn
or a burden, or a reminder
to know choice
to choose to follow God's words
to let down the barriers to love
and walk in the ways of God
Writing at the margins. Writing in the margins. A place to react, to stop and share a few words, to take stock, to think aloud.


text: I have gone onto ebay a few times looking for fabric, but find it overwhelming to find 80,000 or more sales to sort through. How do you sort to find what you might be looking for or do you just keep scrolling through? I usually do the lowest first or buy it now, but still there seems to be a lot to look through. Any suggestions??

NEW DELHI: India's low carbon economy is being lead by its national capital, New Delhi, with the Government's recent moves to make the adoption of LED lighting and electric vehicles cheaper and easier for consumers.
Causing excitement in the electric vehicle sector, it was announced that the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) is planning to install charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) in 65 areas under the NDMC jurisdiction, a move which will increase consumer appeal for EVs.
Expected to be a benchmark for the future of EVs in India, this public-private partnership project will see the installation of charging stations near major landmarks, metro stations and hotels across the city.
The private company that successfully bids for this partnership will gain advertising rights on top of the earnings from charging.
Once the United Traffic and Transportation Infrastructure Planning and Engineering agency clear the proposal and a bidder is accepted, NDMC officials say the entire EV project will be completed in 36 months, with one prototype station installed in the first two months.
The story in New Delhi is equally optimistic for light-emitting diode (LED) lighting. The Government is currently promoting LEDs in the city by considering tax breaks that will lower the cost of the low carbon lighting for consumers.
To help avoid the higher upfront costs of installing LEDs, the Delhi-based power company BSES will sell the bulbs at a 50% discount.
New Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said: "We would like to promote LED bulbs by granting some concession in value added tax (VAT). Further, the Government will shift from ordinary or CFL lighting to LED lighting for streets in the entire city, and also in all Government offices."
The decision was triggered by New Delhi's power demand, which has more than doubled over the last 12 years, surging from 2,000 megawatts in 2000, to today's 5,6000 megawatts.
Aditi Dass, Director of Technology Programs India, The Climate Group, commented on the Government's two separate clean technology plans. She said: "The announcement of establishing EV charging stations in the national capital has to be seen as a very important development, more so at a time when there is a growing excitement in the automobile sector for the EV and hybrid policy. Proactive moves like this one -- as well as the move to mainstream LEDs with special incentives -- are extremely encouraging, and symbolic of the fact that the State Government in Delhi is committed towards advancing the concept of a clean revolution."
The Climate Group's recently released report,Lighting the Clean Revolution: The rise of LEDs and what it means for cities, further backs New Delhi Government's plans to offer tax breaks for LEDS. The report shares the results of our LED pilot trials, which covered 13 cities and 27 different LED products.
The trial results demonstrated an average energy saving of 60% for LED units compared to existing lighting fixtures. They also showed that LEDs are more effective in terms of delivering light to where it should go, producing a better quality of light for users, and being remarkably durable.

About Saint
If you're someone who loves teaching equine preschoolers, this irresistible 3-year-old is for you! At 16.3hh, this big baby gelding Tizn't a Saint aka "Saint", by Tiznow out of Evil by Hennessy, is innocent and a tad uncoordinated still with his big body and long legs, but makes us smile every time we work with him because of his "try" and his desire to please. Although he started in 2 races Saint is learning at the MMSC where to place his feet, how to be mannerly, and how to speak English ("walk", "trot", "canter", "woah", "back"…."good boy!"). When he matures physically and mentally he will be a real head turner of a horse, but for now, he is in his adorable horse "toddler" phase.

Over the years, the majority of brick & stone structures will see fading over time. This is a result of the pollution that is within the atmosphere. It can also be caused by years of weathering which hides the natural beauty of the brickwork. In some cases the ornate detail and exterior designs are completely hidden by the dirt that has built up over the years. After cleaning the process is complete decorative features will be shown in their full glory.
Our brick cleaning systems and techniques used on the brick work will not damage, alter or change the brick face unlike sandblasting or other forms of aggressive cleaning. Our system will only remove the dirt.
This is a very cost effective way of quickly improving the appearance and value of a property.

Tuesday, December 3rd
Thursday, December 12th
To sign up for a tour of KapKa, please contact our admissions team at firstname.lastname@example.com.
2. ATTEND OUR OPEN HOUSE. Our annual open house will be held on Saturday, December 7, 2019, from 10 am to 12pm. Our address is 510 N. 49th St. KapKa's entrance is off of Dayton Ave. N., near the corner with N. 49th St. and adjacent to the play structure on our playground.
Teachers will present information about the school and their academic programs, and parents will have a chance to visit classrooms and speak to teachers directly. Current parents will also be available after the presentations to talk about KapKa and how it functions as a cooperative school.
To register for the open house, please email the admissions team at firstname.lastname@example.com.
3. SUBMIT AN APPLICATION. KapKa uses the web-based application Ravenna, to manage our admissions forms. After creating an account for your student, please search for KapKa Cooperative School in the School Directory. After clicking on KapKa Cooperative School on the school list, you can view our application process by clicking on the tabs in the upper right hand corner of our school profile. If you have any questions regarding this process, or if you would prefer to submit a paper application, please contact the registrar at email@example.com.
Submit your application form, evaluations, fee and school records (for grades 1-5) through Ravenna. In keeping with the Puget Sound Independent Schools common application deadline, applications are due on Thursday January 16, 2020. We will, however, accept late applications as space allows.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: Kapka is proud of the socioeconomic diversity of our school community and strongly believes in advocating for families who are seeking a cooperative educational model, but do not have the means to pay full tuition. KapKa is a non-profit school that makes every effort to provide financial assistance to interested families whenever possible.
To be considered for financial assistance, families need to submit an application with School and Student Services by the National Association of Independent Schools, an organization that provides an independent, third-party assessment of a family's ability to pay tuition costs. The financial assistance application is due Thursday, February 6, 2020. To apply for financial assistance, please file an online application at: sssbynais.org/parents.
4. KIDS VISIT KAPKA. Incoming Kindergarten applicants are asked to visit KapKa together on Saturday February 8th, 2020. This is the final step in the application process, and is a fun event that offers the children an opportunity to see the school and to engage with Teacher Nadine and other faculty. Space is limited; therefore, this event is reserved for children whose applications are complete and who have also responded to firstname.lastname@example.com with their RSVP.
Older applicants will be invited to spend time in the classroom on another occasion during the school week.
5. ACCEPTANCE LETTERS AND CONFIRMATION. We will mail decision letters and contracts by Friday, March 20, 2020. Family responses are due on Friday, March 27, 2020. For KapKa to hold your place, we require a $250 registration fee and first tuition payment. If payment is not received promptly, the space will be offered to wait-listed families.
Admission decisions are made without regard to a child's race, religion, color, creed, national or ethnic origin, family structure or financial status. We believe that all children are gifted and testing is not an effective way to measure a child's potential. As such, we do not use formal testing to inform admission decisions. It is important for us to be able to fully meet the needs of each child that we accept into our school. Therefore, we only offer placement to children whose needs we believe we are fully able to support. Children must turn five by September 1 to be considered for kindergarten placement.
6. WELCOME TO NEW STUDENTS AND FAMILIES. We have two events to welcome students and families. In April, we host the Incoming Family Ice Cream Social to give new families a chance to meet each other and revisit the school. In June, the incoming students spend an afternoon at KapKa, doing activities with teachers and meeting current students in a welcoming ceremony. New families are additionally invited to join the KapKa community over the summer in organized play dates and a camping trip.
NOTICE OF NONDISCRIMINATORY POLICY AS TO STUDENTS KapKa admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
