The Carmen of Geraniums has a nice little story. A Belgian painter, Max Moreau used to own this house. Apart from the artist's close circle of friends not many people knew that he was in love with Granada and lived here for over 30 years. After his death he left his home to the Town Hall who restored the building and turned it to a museum. Their aim was not only to bring Max Moreau closer to the visitors but also to preserve the carmen as a typical Granadian heritage.
It has three buildings. One is used as a gallery for the paintings, the other is the room the artist worked in, and the third one was his living quarter.
With the three buildings come three levels. The main level connects the gallery to the living quarters. There's a little platform to enjoy the view of the Alhambra from that you can reach through a set of stairs. Finally there's a backyard with benches and a pond on the side. In front of the studio there's a gorgeous three tiered fountain.
Visiting the Carmen de los Geranios is free. It's open from Tuesday to Saturday: 10.00 to 13.30 h. and 16.00 to 18.00 h. On Sundays, Mondays and on holidays is closed. You can find it on Calle Nueva de San Nicolás, 12.

I feel it even here. amongst the lost, amongst the greatest skeptics. words of joy and of the love of the Lord blaring through my ears into my spirit. they have no idea the love they hold themselves back from…knowingly or not. why do we hang back? why do we hold back the answer for these people. the Lord is as deeply in love with them as He is with us? He desires to wash them in His love, in His grace but we are sometimes the ones who hold the umbrella up. the rain is pouring and we don't allow them to get wet, to get soaked in His presence. the umbrella of religion, of good morals or even an umbrella of silence. is the power really in our hands to yank down that umbrella we as the church often hold? i believe it is. do they know what awaits them if they step out from that covering? do they know the intense devotion they would find? or the arms that would hold them through it all? do they knw of the blessings which are rolling of the umbrella and hitting the ground, laying in puddles of mis-used glory at their feet? lets remove them umbrella. push them out from under it show them the love that awaits them. the love of the Lord which floods my soul as i sit here on campus.
Home filled with faith the love of God and umbrellas

Consumer Credit Report - Compare rates: The interest rates charged by a mortgage loan company on a home loan were bound to be higher than any other type of home loan, where credit, income or down payment were all optimal. Or they could vary greatly. Therere some mortgage loan companies that, to the same set of qualifications, offer an interest rate of 7 percent, which is a bit over the bar, or then there were others who may quote 9 to 12 percent or more. Now, if this is all to the same qualifications, they could be shelling out hundreds of extra dollars a month in payments, just because they didnt search properly. Made sure not let the mortgage loan companies take advantage of their situation.
Consumer Credit Report, Consumers in the Southern states Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas can order their free reports beginning June 1, 2005.
Credit account information will give you a good indication of how punctual your applicant is. Credit accounts include loans with banks, retailers, credit card issuers and other lenders. Which may include types of accounts, monthly payment amounts, manner of payments balances owing, amounts past due and NSF cheques. Credit account details are supplied by creditors with which your tenant has an account. Every piece of credit history information in a credit file is assigned a credit rating by the credit grantor. These evaluations are based on industry standards, the most common of which use a range from R 0 to R 9. R ratings is the standard credit rating system known as the "North American Standard Account Ratings"
Consumer Credit Report, Credit card offers can fill up your mailbox within days if you dont check your mail on a daily basis. Pull more than half of your mail to the side and it is likely peppered with offers from leading credit card providers extolling the virtues of their product. Most offers will include points such as these:
Credit history refers to a record of a borrower's past financial behavior, including loans and other credit. Lenders use your credit history report as a guide to determine whether or not you are a good credit risk and likely to make loan payments in the future. Your credit report and score is based on your history of credit, including credit card history, amount of outstanding debt, type of credit in use, and many other contributing factors. Not having very much credit record history can be just as damaging as bad credit history because lenders don't have any proof that you are capable of paying back a loan responsibly.
Credit repair is of immense importance or the need of the hour to all those who hold bad credit. Having bad or poor or sub-prime credit is love bearing a curse. Holders of bad or adverse credit were disadvantaged in all their loan or credit seeking ventures. They were either not provided the loans they apply to or they were made to pay higher interest rates or made to accept certain unfavorable terms while settling to their loans. Credit repair is the only way to them to be redeemed from the miseries of bad credit holding.
Consumer Credit Report - Credit reporting scores average around 700, with reporting scores ranging from 400 to 900. By understanding the factors in your credit history that affect your score you can be proactive in managing your credit bureau report, ensuring better loans and lower interest rates.
credit score is a number that represents your calculated measure of credit risk. Your credit score is the result of a complex mathematical formula that takes into account numerous factors in your credit history. Put simply, your credit report is scored against millions of other people's credit reports, generating your consumer credit score. Your credit score is very important because it can determine your financial future.
Credit Scores play an important role in mortgages and loans.When you apply for a mortgage, a car or any other major purchase, the lender will approve your loan and determine your interest rate based upon several factors including your credit score.
Consumer Credit Report, Creditors tend to disregard lawsuits because they may feel they will not win them. If your debt is old, collectors want to avoid the high attorney fees associated with collecting it. If you owe a debt, you have the legal right to protect yourself. One of the best ways to resolve credit problems is to repair your credit.

Edmund W. Gordon, 81, could reasonably be called the premier black psychologist of his generation: a professor emeritus at both Yale and Columbia, a scholar in residence at the College Board, the head of the Institute for Urban and Minority Education at Columbia's Teachers College and the author of more than 175 scholarly articles and a dozen books.
Frequently, Dr. Gordon cites his privileged upbringing as the child of a physician and a teacher in a segregated small southern town. His father, West Indian born, attained such stature in Goldsboro, N.C., that the Gordon family was invited to shop at Weil's department store, but only on Wednesday afternoons.
He cites ''good parentage'' as the root of his success, says he ''never considered not being an educated person,'' and always knew he was college-bound. Still, he was suspended for a semester from Howard University because he was not keeping up. Later, his mother tried to discourage him from pursuing an advanced degree in favor of a secure job as a postal clerk. When he headed to New York as a graduate student anyway, he was intimidated by the intellectual firepower of his new friends.
Those experiences would eventually become the personal context for his professional passion -- the achievement gap between white and black students, which inexplicably widens when middle class professional families are compared across racial lines.
On paper, he had all the advantages that predispose youngsters to academic success. In reality, however, something was missing. His parents, while educated and successful, never actually taught him to study, he said, or actively encouraged his intellectual development. ''I don't recall a lot of attention to the details of my education,'' he said. ''I learned about being a person from them, but not about being a learned person.''
He breezed through elementary and high school on the strength of his father's reputation, he said, but he fell behind when he got to Howard University, then the epicenter of black intellectual life in America. It was a philosopher there, Alain Locke, who took Dr. Gordon under his wing when he returned from his suspension. ''He set me on the course of serious scholarship,'' Dr. Gordon said.
Twenty years, three degrees (zoology, divinity and social psychology) and two professions later (Presbyterian minister and assistant dean at Howard), Dr. Gordon again came face to face with his personal achievement gap. In New York City, studying for a third career, as a psychologist, Dr. Gordon joined a social circle of bright young men, most of them Jewish, from City College.
They talked constantly about what they were reading, he said, and he had difficulty following them, so he turned to another mentor, Herbert G. Birch, a research psychologist.
''They taught you how to read down there, didn't they?'' Dr. Gordon remembers Dr. Birch asking. ''Then get your behind into the library and read.'' Before long, Dr. Gordon was confident enough to meet weekly for dinner with one of the towering thinkers of the time, W. E. B. DuBois, who also befriended him.
It was DuBois who introduced the notion that special attention should be paid to the ''talented tenth'' of the black population, to insure representation in the power structure.
Dr. Gordon considered DuBois the mentor of a lifetime. Only in the last few years has Dr. Gordon turned his full attention to this relatively elite group of minority students.
Since the late 1990's, he has led a special team at the College Board in quantifying the racial achievement gap in test scores, grade point average, class ranking and the like. In doing this work, he has challenged the orthodox view that discussing deficiencies in black families and communities perpetuates painful stereotypes about racial inferiority.
''When I first started, minority people, especially, were upset,'' Dr. Gordon said. ''Now it is at least accepted, if not respectable, to talk about these issues. But people are still disbelieving and in denial.''
He did not waver, though, and made recommendations for what he calls ''supplementary education,'' like tutors, travel and college visits. He continues to explore the possible explanations for the gap: peer pressure, child-rearing practices, lower expectations. Only in a whispered aside does he mention genetics. He does not believe biology is the answer, but he is not afraid to ask the question.
''I consider myself reasonably wise,'' he said. ''I have to follow my intellect and also my values. If I think things through and decide to go in a particular direction, it seems wrong not to, especially if it's because somebody doesn't like it.''
This is a huge shift in emphasis for a man who in 1952, along with his wife, a physician, founded a clinic for underprivileged children in Harlem and in 1965 joined the Johnson administration as research director for Head Start.
The spirit of those times, and his own commitment to social justice, persuaded Dr. Gordon, like so many others, that the poorest of the poor could join mainstream society if enough attention was paid and enough money spent on their education. These days, he said in an interview in his office at Teachers College, he is less optimistic but also more impatient.
He no longer believes unequivocally that education can overcome the effects of multigenerational poverty. Despite his vigor, his time is now measured in years, not decades.
''I'm not going to be around for that much longer, and I want to do something where I have some chance of success,'' Dr. Gordon said. ''I doubt we can do anything in that time frame at the lower socioeconomic level. But we do understand what to do to help the minority kids in Montclair or East Ramapo or Shaker Heights. And even that's a tall order in the few years I have left.''

This little gem of an area has always been one of my favorite places. As I mentioned about a year ago I spent a lot of time riding my bike to this wildlife refuge and even crabbing here with my family. As I have gotten older I have found it to be such a peaceful place and absolutely beautiful. while it is not a traditional running "trail" it is a great place to run!
I originally posted about this area as a refuge from the wind when trying to run. Today with the amazingly mild temps I knew I had to get out for a run. With my extra cargo I also knew I would need to find a place where wind wouldn't be as much of a factor so the Assawoman Wildlife Refuge was my go-to running route.
I have never run here while pushing the stroller so that was a new challenge in itself. I always thought pushing the double was fairly painless- today that changed. Pushing the double on an unpaved path was hard! It created a much harder battle for me to fight through but my short run got accomplished and that's really all that matters.
So here is what you need to before you run at the Assawoman Wildlife Refuge:
1. There is no designated area to park. You can either park near the entrance or drive to one of the landings and park there. Regardless of which area you pick you will find a porta-potty! Score!
2. The trail itself is a combo of packed, hard dirt (most of the time anyway) or packed stones. It is easy to maneuver while running solo, but I did find it challenging with a stroller.
3. There are no mile markers but if you cover the entire refuge it is short of 5 miles. There is a paved road you could add to your run and make it an even 5 if needed.
4. The views are amazing. Along your run you will see little ponds with turtles, views of the bay and maybe even an animal or so. They do have designated hunting areas so it is necessary to stay on the trails. Also cars do drive along the path so also take caution to that.
If maybe you are interested in this wildlife refuge but do not want to run it, pack your lunch and some binoculars and enjoy an afternoon bird watching in the observation tower.
The Assawoman wildlife refuge is a neat little tucked away area! Be sure to check it out next time you are looking for an adventure or a refuge from the wind like me!

For about 10 years I work as a freelance. During these years I have had the opportunity to work in a wide number of projects of all kinds, which has made me a competitive designer, in terms of creativity and quality, and always ready to accept new challenges that help me to keep learning.
I have a special love for print projects – books, magazines, branding – but I know a strong brand is an holistic one, so I also design for social media and the web to make sure all aspects of the visual language are coherent and well thought out.
Please look on my last project
I have always loved to scribble, doodle and draw. In school I amused my classmates with funny cartoons of our teachers and I always used to portray people from a small age. In my education as a graphic artist
I developed my skills and tried out many different styles and techniques of drawing and painting. Most of all I am fond of children book illustrations and portraits.

want my advice? take a honeymoon directly after your wedding. don't wait a couple of weeks or six months or a year. and here's why: you'll never have that freshly married feeling again. never. even if you think it'll be awesome and romantic (and it will) if you take it later, i'm telling you from experience that you'll regret not having gone right after the wedding. i mean, you don't have to leave the wedding and drive to the airport. but you might want to schedule your flight or drive off the very next day.
we didn't do this and i've regretted it every time i think about it. we were just talking about it last night actually, and we started trying to remember why we didn't take one. this is what we came up with. when we got married the first time (in january) i was applying for immigration into canada and it would have been very difficult for me to get back into the country if i left it. so, we didn't take a honeymoon. after our second wedding (the following august) we were broke. so we didn't take a honeymoon. this is such a bummer. i SO wish we had put some funds aside for the honeymoon rather than blowing it all on the wedding (think lobster dinner for 70 people).
we've taken great, romantic trips since we got married, but we'll never have a re-do for that freshly married honeymoon. and that's a regret i'll always have.
your thoughts?

It was a slight bummer only because I had hoped to stay an extra day in Asheville, which is a gorgeous city and part of the counry. On the other hand, I was stoked to play a show in Savannah. So I left Asheville on Sunday afternoon (the day after I arrived there), stopping for lunch in Hendersonville with a friend of my sisters (and now, of course, a friend of mine!).
I was on the I26 on-ramp by around 3p, hoping to pick up a quick ride to Columbia, SC to spend the night. I stood there playing my guitar, sticking my thumb out for passers-by. Within ten minutes, I was loaded into a station wagon with two other guys, a girl, a dog, a kayak-covered rooftop, and a trunk filled to the celing with all our respective gear.
These would-be olympic kayakers were on their way home - Atlanta - from a kayaking excursion near Asheville. They should have left me in Spartanburg, where I26 and I85 intersect, but none of us were really paying attention, engrossed in conversation. So they left me instead at a gas station in Greenville, where I could catch a ride on I385 toward Columbia. I tried my usual routine here but did not have the same kind of luck. I played guitar by the on-ramp for at least an hour with very little response until it started raining. I made a run for it, shacking up under the overpass. I tried thumbing a ride there by the interstate, though I knew it was terribly unlikey I'd get a ride there. I looked across the way to see a couple in a white car motioning me to come over. I bolted across the lanes and over the guard rails and median to the side of their car.
They had seen me playing earlier and bought food for me at Wal-Mart. I appreciated the gesture... but was also a bit disappointed. I needed a ride - not peanut butter sandwich crackers and a New Testament Bible!
Once it stopped raining, I made my way back to the on-ramp. Several people stopped to hand me money. I wasn't busking! I needed a ride! Was that so hard for people to see?!
It was getting late and I was getting worried - I know it's very difficult to pick up rides in the dark. At around 6p, a deputy sheriff rolled up in front of me. I continued playing. He ran my ID and informed me that hitch-hiking is unlawful in SC. He advised me to go instead to a nearby gas station to solicit rides and to be careful.
I had done this in other towns with some succes, so I headed that way. Before I made it there, a woman pulled into a driveway behind me, calling me over. She said she had seen me by the on-ramp earlier and then talking with the sheriff. She offered to give me a ride. YES!!!
She couldn't take me all the way, she said, but at least she could get me out of Greenville, which had not been treating me too great. She dropped me off at a rest area on I26 around 7:30p. The sun was making its departure and I was really starting to worry about whether I'd make it to Columbia.
After about ten minutes, a young guy drove up and parked his car with little more intention, it seemed, than to smoke a cigarette. I approached him as he rifled through the backpacking gear in his trunk.
I would make it to Columbia after all!
I stayed there with a couple - Yaki and Zach - who introduced me to their three curmudgeonly dogs, fed me, and beat me at Jeopardy. They also let me use their laptop, but I didn't stay up too late, knowing I'd have to head out early to hitch my way to Savannah.
Yaki left me at a rest area just outside of Columbia and I began trying to catch a ride from more SC drivers. Most people either 1) said, quite politely, "I'm so sorry... I would but my car is so full!" I believed them. OR 2) said, with varying levels of rudeness, "No..._____" (insert any number of denials. Of course, I don't appreciate the rudeness, but I do acknowledge that it is totally the drivers' perogative whether they want to take in a hitch-hiker. Of course I respect that and I don't hold grudges. However, there was one instance that I will never forget for its unparalleled rudeness.
"Excuse me, would you guys happen to be headed east on 26?"
No eye contact, not a word, they kept walking.
"I'm trying to get to Savannah..."
They passed me without acknowledging my presence or existence. I say to the backs of their heads, "Any way you can get me closer..."
At this point I am utterly infuriated.
"Thanks for your help! I really appreciate the personal attention you've just given me!"
Boy, I could not wait til they were headed back to their car. Oh, the snarky comments I would make!
As I vengefully awaited their return, I spied a group of two men and a teenage boy walking back to their car. I gave them my usual schpeil. They didn't seem to be quite sure about whether they were headed toward Savannah. Turned out they were headed to Orlando and would be passing right by Savannah! For the first time in my entire trip I would be catching a ride directly to my destination. Thankfully, I also would not have to spew condemnation anto those other two. Hopefully their own consciences have done that already.
I arrived in Savannah around noon yesterday and have enjoyed every single moment here since. My hosts have been so amazing, I love their home, spirits, hospitality, and all-around awesomeness. I am truly sad that I am leaving tomorrow, as I already feel that I have made lasting friendships - even family - here.
Without question, 1417 has shown me the best time of my trip and I can only hope to show them the same hospitality they have shown me these past two days.

Was it really ISIS?

Right after the bombing of two Assyrian restaurants in the Assyrian quarter Wusta in Qamishly, Syria, on the evening of December 30, 2015, Reuters referred to the Kurdish YPG militia spokesman Redur Xelil. He called the attacks suicide bombings and blamed it on ISIS: "He said it had most likely been carried out by Islamic State, which the YPG is fighting in Syria's northeast". Xelil was not slow to exploit the opportunity by describing it as an attack on Kurds and Assyrians. YPG and its Dawronoye-puppet did the same thing right after the murder of David Jendo, and also promised to avenge his death. A few days later it turned out that the murder of David Jendo and Elias Nasser (who survived) was performed by leading figures in the YPG. At this writing, there is not as clear evidence regarding the attacks in Qamishly, but suspicion is in a different direction than ISIS.
Even the Syrian Orthodox Patriarch Aphrem II Karim and his Syrian Catholic colleague Joseph III Younan have issued statements condemning the massacre, but none of them mentions ISIS. Obviously, they are not convinced that the main candidate behind the attacks is ISIS. Patriarch Younan fears that the attacks will scare the remaining Christians in Gozarto and says: "Now, after this massacre, our fear is that the emigration of Christians will go further and in larger numbers". Patriarch Karim calls the perpetrators enemies of humanity: "The enemy of humanity is spreading its power everywhere in our beloved Middle East…"
No suicide bombings
Moreover, the attacks were not any suicide bombings, in the contrary to what YPG and various media reports allege. Some testimonies say that a guy who did not differ from the amount arrived at Café Miami and ordered a drink. He had a laptop bag with him. When he had gone, he left the bag under the table. Before anyone could react, the bag exploded and the devastation was total. Ten Assyrians, an employee Kurd and two other Muslims were killed. A large number were injured. Usually, the waiters in Qamishly are Kurdish. (Rumours say that a couple of the Kurdish employees at mentined café left their job shortly before the explosions and that the Assyrian guards Sootoro has interrogated them. But these are unconfirmed reports). Shortly thereafter a similar computer bag exploded outside the window of the restaurant Gabriel in the same neighbourhood. Three people were killed. Initially even a third explosion at another restaurant was mentioned, but there are no reliable reports of killed or injured. The details of what preceded the explosions are so far not confirmed. But all the witnesses denounce the rumour of suicide bombings.
The city of Qamishly was built by Assyrians who survived the genocide Seyfo, when Syria was a French protectorate. With time, it became an important centre of Assyrian culture and national awakening among the Assyrians. A large number of the Assyrian inhabitants left the city during the ongoing civil war and sought refuge in Sweden and other EU countries.
The first thing that an investigator usually does is to search for a possible motive behind a crime, by asking who may have the greatest interest in the crime output. Therefore we may now ask ourselves who benefits from the attacks in Qamishly. The testimonies of injured Assyrians and the statements by local Assyrian representatives clearly show that the purpose was to scare away "the disobedient" Assyrians from Gozarto region, whom refuse to accept any forced Kurdish rule. In a statement by Sootoro, which has also been uploaded in a video recording, it is said that "those who are our neighbours want to scare us, but we refuse to bend and will defend our city and our country". A leader of Gozarto Protection Forces (GPF) says to the American Mesopotamian Organization (AMO): "Although someone claiming to represent ISIS posted a message on social media taking responsibility for the bombs, the types of explosives and the nature of the attacks does not fit the ISIS pattern of violence".
Which ethnic group is that "lives next door to us"? To my knowledge there are no IS-followers in Qamishly living neighbours with us. Considering recent developments, there is only one answer. But if we can get any evidence, that's a question which remains unanswered for the moment.

Recently I installed a Torbit snippet to analyze load times for my website which I am constantly trying to improve by using a combination of techniques.I learned that my blog loads something awful slow for people in Finland and South Africa.
I was really surprised to see just how slowly on average Mozilla Firefox loads my website. It is important to take into consideration that this is just a small data sampling so as more data comes in that trend is likely to improve.
Although not measured in this testing my web traffic continues to be dominated by Linux Desktop Users and Android Users. I'm now using this small sample of data to reduce things like DNS Lookups, Third Party Javascript and Stylesheets etc.

I have been working on my presentation "Archetypes and Stereotypes" for the upcoming IEA conference... as you might imagine, my 8 lust wants to say everything and share 400 slides in just a 2 hour time slot.... and in high speed like a 7...including the meaning and significance like the 4...in an up close and personal manner like the sx.
I posted this in my personal thread by accident...and it is in Enneagram Daily but thought I would share it here. Someone tearily asked if it was a trick question....Haha….no, not a trick question.... but could be of course, you never know with an 874;))
These two women share the same facial archetype and are often mistaken for one another.... Someone's visual archetype (facial features and body type) are two of 12 key points I look at when evaluating someone's potential instinctual type and tritype (as well as MBTI, body language and core energetic character structure, etc). In other words, what we can see and observe.
Most of us begin with an immediate first impression of someone… As a child, I was curious if others also felt an immediate impression of people and made a quick decision about what a type of person they may be. And, I wondered how consciously and quickly they formed a first impression. Oh and yes, my family and my friends did wonder why I was always examining similarities and differences between people… now they are just used to it… ;)
At the age of 7, in in 1960, I began my study of human nature with the little Dell books that could be found on any subject in the magazine section or checkout counter in most drugstores and grocery stores.
Later, in the 1970s, I learned of research that suggested a first impression is made within the first 20 seconds of seeing someone and rarely, if ever changes. Then, later research suggested 7 seconds and then 2 seconds. Recent studies by Princeton researchers suggest that a first impression is made in 1/10 of a second... I have always found this to be true... and believe it may be even faster. It is similar to Malcolm Gladwell's theory of the "blink" test from his book Blink (the power of thinking without thinking).
I also devoured documentaries that explained the nuances of brain function for idiots… ;)) I was intrigued as to what governed and determined which immediate action needed to take place first to insure survival… I was surprised to learn that the brain makes and acts on assumptions. These assumptions are biological imperatives, as the brain must make snap decisions to increase our odds of survival when faced with eminent danger. So in essence, the short story is that our brain guesses… and/or lies to improve our chances of survival (longer story). Simply put, our brain reacts to stimuli and at first glance, it can't distinguish between a snake and something that looks like a snake… so it pumps adrenaline, and basically says "danger!" until additional data says the coast is clear… ;) Not a snake but rather a rope in an 'S' shape.
So, it would stand to reason that we as a species would need to make snap judgments as to whether or not someone is familiar to us or a stranger….and, if a stranger, are they a threat to us? Our brain would rapidly sort though images and emotional experiences to determine if someone might be a threat....a fellow tribe member that would feed us or an enemy tribe that would harm us or eat us... ;)).
So, if these two women are so similar in appearance, the question that would naturally arise is "Are they the same Enneagram type?" If we consider stereotypes, our answer (most likely unconsciously) would be yes…. But are they truly the same type? If we look further, perhaps we will confirm they are or we may discover they are not.
I would propose in round numbers that roughly 80% of the time, those with so many visual similarities would share the same type and 20% of the time they would not. And as many of you already know, I do love to explore the 20% that are more atypical… I then, along with other points of consideration, listen for language use and observe micro expressions and body language to have a more complete picture of someone's potential tritype and instinctual type.
Our snap judgments and resulting assumptions create our first impression (and by extension our view of typing), This was the focus of my IEA presentation in 2013. I will explore, compare and contrast both archetypes and stereotypes and how they influence our opinion of someone's potential type. So, as fellow enthusiasts, I would love to know your thoughts.

Vegan Cauliflower Queso in the Instant Pot/
This vegan cauliflower queso may be dairy free, but it's so rich and creamy that you won't even realize that it's actually healthy. The Instant Pot pulls this recipe together in no time at all.
I may receive commissions from purchases made through links in this article. Full Disclosure.
I mentioned before the holidays how much I loved my new Instant Pot. It cooks food in half the time, allowing things to retain a higher level of nutrients. I was just debating what else I could do with my new pressure cooker when my blogging pal Kathy Hester asked if I wanted to check out her new book, The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook for Your Instant Pot. Duh, yes!
I had been seeing so many recipes using meat for the Instant Pot, but was not finding inspiration from the vegan world. Then smart Kathy came along and put together this whole big, beautiful cookbook that features chapters on beans, grains, vegetables, sides, desserts and one pot meals. Here's a sampling to get you further salivating:
Asian Steamed Dumplings
Indo-Chinese Corn Soup
CSA Layered Indian Dinner
Uttapam with Cilantro Coconut Chutney
Tomatillo-Poblano White Beans
I had a hard time picking which one to try first, but seeing as we have the Super Bowl coming up, followed by March Madness, I thought the vegan cauliflower queso would hit the spot. And of course I don't need a sporting event to eat this ridiculously delicious healthy nacho "cheese." Don't judge me for eating this directly out of the blender. When you make it, you'll understand.
So yeah, you can pretty much eat it with a spoon, but if company is over, you might want to try using some chips or vegetable sticks. It also makes a great sauce for tacos or burritos, and I know it's going to look great on your game day spread.
Your party platter just got that much healthier, without sacrificing any delicious taste, with this vegan cauliflower queso for your Instant Pot.
Don't have an Instant Pot (what's wrong with you?), you can still use the old school stove to make the recipe. Bon Appetit!
Vegan Cauliflower Queso in the Instant Pot
Reprinted with Permission from The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook for Your Instant Pot
Makes 4 cups
2 cups (214 g) cauliflower florets (about 1⁄2 head small cauliflower)
1 cup (237 ml) water
3⁄4 cup (96 g) thick-cut carrot coins 1⁄4 cup (34 g) raw cashews
1⁄4 cup (24 g) nutritional yeast
Liquid drained from 1 (10-oz [283-g]) can diced tomatoes with green chiles (I like Rotel)
1⁄2 tsp smoked paprika
1⁄2 tsp salt (or to taste)
1⁄4 tsp chili powder
1⁄4 tsp jalapeño powder (page 56), optional
1⁄8 tsp mustard powder
1 (10-oz [283-g]) can diced tomatoes with green chiles, drained (I like Rotel)
1⁄2 cup (75 g) chopped bell pepper (optional)
2 tbsp (30 g) minced red onion (optional)
1⁄4 cup (4 g) minced cilantro
For the Instant Pot, add the cauliflower, water, carrots and cashews to your Instant Pot and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes, then carefully do a quick pressure release by moving the valve to release the pressure. (If you don't have an Instant Pot, cook the ingredients on the stove until tender.)
Pour the cooked mixture into a strainer over the sink and drain the extra water.
For the blender, put the drained mixture along with the nutritional yeast, liquid drained from the canned tomatoes, smoked paprika, salt, chili powder, jalapeño powder (if using) and mustard powder into your blender. Blend until smooth.
For the mix-ins, scrape out the blender contents into a mixing bowl and stir in the tomatoes and green chiles, bell pepper (if using), minced onion (if using) and cilantro.
You can serve this at room temperature or keep it warm on the lowest slow cooker setting.

NTMB presents first, opening chapter of the SS19 collection, totally inspired by the "Divine Comedy" written by Dante Alighieri. It will be proposed, item after item, the stages of the journey undertaken by the Supreme Poet through the three dimension of the afterlife: from the bottom of the Hell to the Rose of Paradise, portraying the emblematic perspective of his adventure with the contemporary point of view of NTMB. The Naples-based collective has been customizing denim pieces for Faith Connexion. Last year, they brought their particular brand of whimsical graffiti and appliqués to Wrangler, lavishing a jacket with feather-like embellishments. Earlier this year, they worked with the childrenswear brand Coccole e Bimbi on a charity project. For Spring 2019 the duo—a couple in denim and in life—is...Continue reading

Other than that, any descriptions of the conditions on these planets is nothing more than highly fanciful speculations designed to stimulate the public's imagination and interest.
JeffreyW wrote:yea, I mentioned it 3 years ago on this forum.
Have they ruled out giant sunspots just orbiting in the atmosphere of the red dwarf? Would those not cause dimming in a regular fashion?
nick c wrote:My understanding is that sunspots can be ruled out. A planet would have the same signature rotation after rotation while sunspots change and then disappear. That is why it seems more than likely that some celestial object(s) is in orbit around the star. Other than that conclusion it seems that any other description involves 'educated guesswork.'
comingfrom wrote:I would like to add a criticism about how they headline their articles with premature assumptions like "could support life", and include statements like "the hunt for alien life".
The mainstream reports are so busy with silly speculating, and artistic impressions, they forget to give us the basic scientific facts of the discovery. They forget to tell us they are just assuming planets around a star.

The body of a woman was discovered underneath a burning SUV this morning in one of two instances where people were found dead in burning vehicles in the Gresham neighborhood today, officials said.
Police and firefighters discovered the Kia on fire in an alley on the 8600 block of South Honore Street around 7:45 a.m., according to Police News Affairs Officer Ana Pacheco. A woman's body was found under it.
The Chicago Police Department Arson Unit was investigating.
Joy Wilkins said her husband walked out of their home and saw the burning SUV. Then he spotted the body.
"Her body was burning, the car was burning. The body was half way out from under the car," said Wilkins. "He said there was nothing he could do. He wished he could pull her out but he was afraid the car would explode."
She said her husband called 911 and then told her what he had seen.
"I said, 'Oh my God.' I felt horrible for her and felt horrible for her family," said Wilkins. "When you've been living in a place for 22 years, you don't expect to walk out your back door to find a burning body."
Officials also reported that another person had been found earlier, in another burning vehicle in the Gresham neighborhood this morning, according to officials.
The body of the person was found at about 5 a.m. in a vehicle on the 8400 block of South Gilbert Court, said Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Bari Lemmon.
Chicago Fire Department officials extinguished the fire and the police arson unit along with the medical examiner's office were investigating. The gender of the person and their identity were not available.
Police are investigating both incidents.

Happiness is a Warm TV
Michael Peterson talks to NBC's 'Dateline' for 'Down the Back Staircase' episode
Michael Peterson has given NBC's "Dateline" his first network interview since his February manslaughter plea deal in connection with the 2001 death of his wife, Kathleen. It will air Friday night.
Peterson was interviewed by Dennis Murphy, telling Murphy that the plea deal was "the most difficult decision I ever made in my life. ... And I'm talking, you know, joining the Marines, anything I did in my life, this was the most difficult decision I made. And I did it because the second most difficult thing I ever did in my life was to live through that trial and listen to all of those lies and perjuries, the nonsense."
Peterson's trial was the subject of an award-winning French documentary "The Staircase," which is currently being spoofed by the NBC sitcom "Trial & Error."
Murphy also talks to Kathleen Peterson's sister, Candace Zamparini, who has been outspoken about her belief in Peterson's guilt: "It was very cathartic to say, ahh, this is what I fought for. … We weren't quitting until we heard the word guilty. We thought we were going to hear it from another 12 jurors but we got to hear Michael say guilty."
Peterson was convicted of first-degree murder in 2003 after Kathleen was found dead at the bottom of a staircase in their Durham home. (A family friend was also found dead earlier at the bottom of a staircase in Germany. And her body also was discovered by Michael Peterson.)
Peterson was in prison for eight years before his conviction was overturned, because of improprieties at the State Bureau of Investigation. Before Peterson's new trial was set to begin, he entered an Alford plea, allowing him to plead guilty to manslaughter while maintaining his innocence.
The two-hour episode of "Dateline," titled "Down the Back Staircase," also features interviews with Peterson's daughters Martha and Margaret Ratliff, his brother Bill Peterson, Durham detective Art Holland, former assistant district attorney Freda Black, Peterson's defense attorney David Rudolf and Kathleen's daughter Caitlin Atwater.
The episode airs at 9 p.m. Friday on NBC.

The team from Crossroads Fellowship Church in Berea, Kentucky brings us this design from their "Cliffhanger" series.
They started by gearing off some graphic design work from Anthony Roe. They built a simple mountain background using crumpled kraft paper (shipping paper). They bought it from an online supplied in a bulk yardage roll. They attached it to the back wall of their stage with a staple gun. They layered it heavier as they moved from top to bottom for a more three dimensional look.
They used six par 64 cans and color gels for the colored lighting effects. The natural light was achieved with two par 56 cans–one on each side lighting the structure from ground level to give shadow and depth. The stars on the wall were just stick-on plastic stars commonly used on children's bedroom ceilings (toy section at Walmart).
The boulders on stage were made from paper mache formed over a wire frame. The large boulder was actually a facade for their keyboard on stage. They used a textured rock spray paint to give them a rough, boulder-like finish. They scavenged the wire, and had all of the newspapers for the paper mache donated by a local newspaper company.
Total design cost was under $100. Great news for a smaller church (around 200 in attendance).

There is Bo. Bo and Peter and Ernie. Bo and Teacher. Rose and Bo. Bo and Orange. Gerry and Bo. Lorelei and Bo. Max and Gerry. Bo and Bear. Max and Rose. Max and Thao. Rose and Bo. Max and Orange. Gerry and Lorelie. Soldier Man. Bo and Bear and Soldier Man. Emily. Bo. Orange.
This book had a very powerful effect on me for a number of reasons. Initially, it was the character of Bo and his relationship with Bear. "Bo is fourteen years old and the bear not a year." But even before this I was intrigued by the Author's Note, part of which follows:
"The strangest of the truths in this novel are the facts of a bear wrestling circuit in Ontario, the production of Agent Orange in the small town of Elmira, Ontario, and freak shows at the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE).
Ontario outlawed bear wrestling when a bear mauled the trainer's fiancée to death in 1976. Freak shows were a huge attraction at the CNE, with many freaks making their international debuts in Canada, and only ended in 1979. Agent Orange was produced by Uniroyal (now Chemtura) in Elmira under contract for the U.S. military for the purpose of defoliating the jungles of Vietnam during the war." …
Chemical manufacturers knew that the dioxin in Agent Orange was both carcinogenic and mutagenic. Some 83 million litres of the poison was dropped onto South Vietnam from 1961 to 1971. The victims of Agent Orange have not been properly acknowledged and the legacy of Agent Orange continues, as the chemical works its way through a third generation of exposed Vietnamese citizens. Canada has never admitted any responsibility for this."
In my pre-teen years I attended the CNE every year and I do remember the advertising boards for some of the freak shows. I may have been in to see one of the displays but that could be my imagination: I did not recall this until I read the Author's Note reproduced above.
Just yesterday, I read part of an article in the New Internationalist (NI 481 April 2015) which is a report on Monsanto and other biotech giants. I was struck by the following: "Monsanto's main rival Dow, created a new herbicide (in response to the crisis in GM agriculture in which thousands of hectares of crops are being damaged by superweeds such as palmer amaranth, marestail and ryegrass) Enlist Duo – a combination of glyphosate and 2,4-D,…the two main chemical ingredients of Agent Orange."
Inspite of all the negativity and discouragement a reader might absorb from the above information, this book remains an inspiration and a source of hope and I believe that is directly due to the author's skilled creation and presentation of her characters including the bears and the "freaks" and their keepers/caregivers.
Bo and his parents left Vietnam by boat but his father was already ill when they left and he died on the journey. Bo's mother was pregnant. Mother and son eventually arrived in Canada where they were sponsored by a church organization. A small bungalow was provided and Bo's mother paid rent. She had a small ancestral altar in a corner. The small family worked very hard at being good citizens. They spoke English at home. Rose worked as a cleaner in a hospital.
In the first chapter, as Rose leaves for work, she calls back to Bo: "Check on Sister when you get home." Sister was Orange and Bo needed no reminder to take care of her.
"Bo's sister's name meant Orange Blossom in Vietnamese so he called her Orange. Rose called her Sister. Orange was their family tragedy. The one they mustn't mention to others. Orange was unspeakable and unspeaking. She could not see very well and was all wrong, every part of her."
When Bo came home from school, "he found Orange in her bedoom on her mattress, rocking. Her eyes were pushed so far out of their sockets she looked Martian. He might look weird to Orange through her convex eyes, he thought, flattened jout, unreal. He lay on the mattress and curved in toward her. He hoped this made her feel safe. She was four years old."
This is only one of several beautiful and compassionate relationships in this book. Bo would make a wonderful role model for all of us although he would be the last person to see himself that way.
Just a week or so ago, another book about Vietnamese immigrants was chosen on Canada Reads 2015 as the best of five presented as a possibility to break barriers about a particular issue. That book was Ru by Kim Thúy: the jacket describes it as "a lullaby for Vietnam and a love letter to a new homeland." This book tells another version of the Vietnamese immigrant experience in Canada and would make an excellent companion read to Ru. Both have important messages. Have you read another title that would add to the story?

To use a smoothie maker, insert the pitcher on the unit, add the required ingredients, put the lid in place, insert the stirring stick and then run the smoothie maker on high for one minute. Blend on low for 30 seconds to get an evenly blended smoothie, as eHow instructs.
Once you insert the pitcher into the base of the smoothie maker, twist it to ensure the proper connection. Add the required ingredients into the pitcher, such as one-half to one cup of chopped fruit, one cup of frozen or fresh yogurt, and a quarter cup of milk or half a cup of juice. Add enough ice cubes, usually four to six, to bring the smoothie mix up to the mark given on the pitcher.
Then, place the lid on the maker before inserting the stirring stick. Run the smoothie maker for one minute on its high setting. Using the stick, stir the mix in the opposite direction. Push visible fruit pieces to the center of the pitcher with the stick to blend them.
If the smoothie is well blended, dispense it from the tap located at the base of the pitcher. If there are any fruit pieces left, blend again for 30 seconds on low. Repeat this process as long as necessary to make a smoothie with a smooth consistency.

The Nike Air Max 120 is available in its first retro release since arriving at retailers back in 1998. It isn't too hard to see why this model had such a cult following prior to the turn of the millennia as an artistically bold design featured unique Kurim overlays that acted as a second skin for support.
Nike Sportswear has updated the offering in a number of gradient colorways true to the original intentions, as this "Laser Orange" theme is hot enough to help you out throughout the summer months.
Synthetic leather overlays provide a durability while mesh adds ventilation throughout. A Phylon midsole and waffle outsole are the perfect combination of cushion and traction.

Using SEO to Find your Products
Starting a handmade or any other online business today has become extremely simple. SEO might seem complicated, but a basic understanding of search engine optimization is essential to ensure your products are easily searched on the search engine. Today, SEO can become a strong tactic to increase your business and connect effectively with the target audience. Here are a few ways to leverage the power of SEO to increase your online presence.
Awesome product description
Lack of a text description of your product online will definitely put an end to the chances of the page being in the top 10 search engine query. Awesome product description can help you increase the customer base and ensure customers can easily reach to your products. Focus on creating descriptive content that will help the customers make the purchasing decision. Additionally, never copy content from other websites as it gets indexed in the search engine. When you deliver value to the readers, revenue increases automatically.
Product reviews
According to a recent survey, more than 70 percent of the customers search for a product review before purchasing it online. And, if your website doesn't have such product reviews, you're missing out on a large chunk of the audience. Additionally, review pages make it to the top search results without any difficulty. Product reviews keep the product page living and you can attract the potential buyers. Positive reviews leave a lasting impression whereas negative reviews affects the brand reputation. And, every time a product review is added by a customer, your site is updated which is essential for a successful SEO campaign.
Unique titles
Another problem faced by online stores is duplicated title tags. Avoid identical values as it's the school of foundation for search engine optimization. It's extremely difficult to create unique tags, especially when you are selling multiple products from the same brand. Search engines are aware about this occurrence and you should focus on creating unique tags. Survey your customers to understand the language they use to create unique tags.
Finally, customers who like your website and product are more likely to visit again.
