Corn & Cotija Cheese Dip
For the game yesterday (go hawks!!!), I finally made this killer corn dip that's been sitting on my to-do list since the summer. And it turned out awesome! I can't even put into words what a perfect mix of flavors and textures this is – and so easy! Definitely my new go-to for parties and football sundays. Particularly in the summer, when the corn will be even sweeter. Yum!
Corn & Cotija Cheese Dip
via minimalist baker
2 Tbsp olive oil, divided
3 cups fresh corn, cut off the cob (about 3-4 ears)
1 shallot, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1/2 cup sour cream (or you could use plain Greek yogurt)
4 ounces cream cheese
1 cup grated cotija cheese + more for topping
1/4 tsp each sea salt and ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Heat a cast iron or oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil and shallot. Stir constantly to prevent burning, cook for 3 minutes, until the shallot begins to turn translucent, add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add corn, 1/4 tsp each sea salt and pepper and stir. Cook for 5 minutes until shallots appear softened and the corn is slightly darker in color. Then remove from heat.
In a large bowl mix together sour cream, cream cheese, cotija. Add corn mixture to the bowl and stir until well combined.
Use the additional tbsp of olive oil to lightly grease the skillet, so the dip doesn't stick. Spoon dip back into the skillet (I grated a little additional cotija on top here, about 1/4 cup) and bake 10-15 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Sprinkle the green onions on top and serve immediately.
We served it with tortilla chips, but veggies, crackers or bread slices would be great too!

Love Story 2050 is a futuristic/sci-fi film starring producer Pammi Baweja and director Harry Baweja's son Harman Baweja and Priyanka Chopra. Initially, when the film was announced in 2004, Kareena Kapoor had signed on to play Priyanka's role in the film, for which she was reportedly paid Rs. 3 crore. Kapoor later opted out in 2006 saying she had some date problems and was replaced by Chopra. Priyanka plays a double role, so she coloured her hair twice, once red to portray the girl from future and then again black. The red-haired look is inspired from Harman Baweja's sister Rowena Baweja's painting which potrays woman of today and tommorrow. The script of Love Story 2050 inspired her to do the painting.

The United States of America is a pickup-truck nation.
No people on Earth adore their bed-in-the-back vehicles more than Americans, who will purchase something on the order 2.5 million pickups by the end of 2016.
Many of these trucks will be built by the major players: Ford, Chevy, GMC, and Ram (part of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles).
A few more will come from Toyota and Nissan.
Then there's Honda.
Yes, Honda. The company that brings us the Odyssey minivan, the Civic sedan, and the CR-V crossover — as well as Business Insider's 2016 Car of the Year, the Acura NSX supercar — has been selling a pickup since 2005, when the first Ridgeline was introduced.
The Ridgeline has always been an offbeat pickup. It uses unibody construction, more akin to a car or crossover SUV than the industry-standard body-of-frame approach favoured by the big truckmakers. Honda has typically marketed it to the youthful outdoors enthusiast, the person who wants to use his Ridgeline to haul around mountain bikes or whitewater kayaks, not someone who needs a serious work truck. Towing capacity has never been mega-high — it maxes out at around 5,000 lbs. — so you could pull a modest trailer, but forget about anything more hulking.
Sales have never been stunning, and they peaked in the first few years after the truck rolled out; my theory is that as the truck-and-SUV market recovered after the financial crisis, a lot of pickup buyers went for the full-size stuff and passed on the compact/mid-size Ridgeline, or decided to go for a crossover SUV instead.
A new beginning
Honda dropped the first-generation Ridgeline from the lineup in 2014, but the most unusual pickup on the market is back with a second-generation for the 2017 model year. The carmaker let us borrow a very well-equipped Ridgeline, priced at $41,370, and we tested it for a week in the suburbs of New Jersey, just as winter was getting chilly in the Northeast.
The car-like, unibody, front-wheel-drive platform has been retained, but our tester had all-wheel-drive. Pickups are typically based on rear-wheel-drive platforms, and why you notice right away about the Ridgeline is how much it doesn't drive like a truck. It drives exactly like a Honda car or crossover and was eerily reminiscent of my Odyssey minivan, from when I lived on the West Coast.
This is a good thing. You can whip the Ridgeline around like nobody's business. It's the easiest pickup I've ever driven by a long, long shot. In fact, in spirit this truck suggest to me a modern-day El Camino, the half-car, half-pickup that Chevy sold mainly from the early 1960s through the late 1980s, and that has achieved cultlike status.
Car lovers have been bugging General Motors to bring back the El Camino — and Ford, too, because that automaker had its own version, the Ranchero — to no avail. I always thought the pestering of Chevy was pointless precisely because the Ridgeline was around.
The first-generation had an unusual design that featured a short bed with relatively high side buttressing that appeared to join the front and back of the vehicle. It wasn't for everyone — or really anyone. With the second-gen Ridgeline, Honda has gone with a more proper pickup-truck bed, lengthened a bit. The front of the vehicle looks a lot like a Honda Pilot, as my colleague Ben Zhang immediately noted when he saw the truck.
The overall effect is a car-like/crossover-y prow mated to real honest-to-god pickup stern. Because there's only a four-door, crew-car option available, I immediately dubbed the new Ridgeline a "Honda King Cab-amino."
This is the compact pickup truck you're looking for
I also loved the new Ridgeline absolutely to pieces. We haven't tested out very many mid-size/compact pickups at BI — our last victim was the excellent Chevy Colorado — but these are tremendously useful vehicles for life in the 'burbs. I took our test car to pick up a Christmas tree, for example. Last year, the tree wound up being tied to a roof. This year, the helpful chap at the sales lot simply heaved the tree into the roughly five-and-half-foot lined bed and we were good to go (the tree was a seven footer, but it fit neatly into the Ridgeline's bed diagonally).
You can always extend the bed, as well, simply by lowering the dual-action tailgate (it also opens to the side like long door) and tying stuff in place using the pickup's anchor points. The bed also had a concealed storage compartment in the floor that Honda calls a trunk, plus a power hookup and audio capability. You will be the envy of everybody in the parking lot at that next football game.
Hop back into the front and you're in a perfectly comfortable and — in the RTL-E trim level that I had — well-appointed Honda. The interior was all leather, with tri-zone climate control, heated seats, a heated steering wheel, and a perfectly good infotainment and audio system featuring an eight-inch touchscreen, eight speakers, Apple CarPlay or Android Auto capability, SiriusXM satellite radio, Bluetooth and AUX/USB connectivity, and a reasonably good hands-free voice interface.
The back seats are a bench design that can be folded to carry additional cargo, and although they aren't as luxurious as what you'll find in some full-size pickups these days, they get the job done. The rear window has the classic sliding window, but it operated remotely from the front.
May the Ridgeline be with you
Perhaps the best thing about the new Ridgeline is Honda's 3.5-litre, 280-horsepower V6 engine under the hood. This is one of the world's great motors, perhaps the best V6 anywhere, and in Honda's case, the core of its technology. Mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, this engine is more or less perfect and provides 21 mpg in combined city/highway driving. The power is fluid, the motor never gives even the slightest indication of strain, and long highway cruises are as pleasant as jaunts around town.
The Ridgeline, however, isn't an inexpensive pickup. In fact, for the 41 grand out tester tipped the scales at, you can obtain a nicely optioned full-size Ford F-150. That said, Honda reliability and quality is legendary, so you're unlikely to have much to complain about, and safety for the Ridgeline is excellent — and enhanced on upper trim levels by a suite of driver-assist features, including collision mitigating braking, lane-keep assist, lane-departure warning, and adaptive cruise control. With the Ridgeline, you get what you pay for.
Now for the obvious question: as good as the Ridgeline is, will the revamped design woo anyone away from the more "accepted" truck brands?
I doubt it. The Ridgeline is still the pickup for the rest of us, and the new aesthetics aren't likely to convince hardcore Toyota Tacoma fans that they should look elsewhere.
But if you have an active lifestyle, like to engage in weekend home-improvement or gardening projects, or just love the idea of a Japanese-branded neo-El Camino that's built with pride in Alabama, the Ridegline makes a lot of sense.

From a press release:
2014 Root Cause Award winners announced for excellency in the local forest products industry and sustainable forestry
(Asheville, NC)—The second annual Root Cause Awards, celebrating achievement in the local forest products industry and sustainable forestry have been announced.
The three winners are:
Cullowhee-based non-profit forest stewardship consulting group Forest Stewards is the recipient of the 2014 Award for Sustainable Forestry for its efforts in promoting sustainable forestry in the Appalachians. By offering stewardship services to land owners and educating the public about the important role our forests play in the region, Forest Stewards has made our forests stronger.
Furniture-maker Max Woody of Marion, NC is the 2014 Lifetime Achievement Award winner for his lifetime of work in the wood products industry. His beautifully designed chairs are a reminder of the great forest products industry heritage in our region and the many businesses that rely on its survival.
Al Platt and Platt Architecture of Brevard, NC are the recipients of the 2014 Award for Support of Local Wood Products for their efforts to use local forest products in many of the homes they design. Platt has shown that with proper planning and effort our local forests, businesses and craftspeople can be supported and better utilized.
"It was a pleasure to give these three awards to such good advocates of our forests," said Lang Hornthal, Root Cause founder. "Our hope is that as we work to raise awareness with Root Cause, the community will continue to support businesses and non-profits that recognize the importance of sustainable forestry and our forest product-based businesses."
A directory of Root Cause affiliates is available online and others in the local forest products industry are invited to join. This includes all segments of the forest products industry from foresters to woodworkers and all related businesses and organizations in between that make up western North Carolina's vast forest products industry. Those involved with forestry or any forest-based businesses are invited to contact Appalachian Designs to get involved with the Root Cause Directory and receive recognition and support for their business.
The Root Cause initiative is committed to raising awareness in the southern Appalachians for the use of local forest products and sustainable forestry. As people seek to buy locally grown food, Root Cause emphasizes that that thinking can be extended to local forest products, which can stimulate the Western North Carolina economy while allowing for the mindful use of natural regional assets. In the region that is the birthplace of Forest Conservation in the United States, Root Cause seeks to continue WNC's historic commitment to modern forestry.
Root Cause founder Lang Hornthal is the owner of Appalachian Designs, which specializes in outfitting rustic homes and landscapes, designing and building a wide range of solid wood furniture, stairs and railings, architectural elements, and custom designs.

While many Nigerians are lamenting about the state of the economy, some few smart Nigerians are taking advantage of the several opportunities in export business to smile to the bank. One of such smart Nigerians smiling to the bank every month is
The current foreign exchange challenges in our nation have made the exportation of non-oil products become very imperative. The current situation also underscores the fact that there is no better time to do export business profitably than now. So it is wisdom for Nigerian businesses especially Importers and SMEs to diversify into non-oil export business. The question then is, how do we join in this export mission project to rescue our country and at the same time earn some foreign exchange? That is what this intensive workshop seeks to address.
At the end of the this programme, all the attendees will be able to understand the export business challenges and how to overcome them, handle documentations without stress, they will be equipped with skills needed to effectively market and sell their products to buyers abroad, they will be empowered to anticipate the risks inherent is export business and design different strategies to mitigate them.
Other areas of discourse at the workshop will include strategies to developing a bankable business, forming essential relationships, sustainability opportunities for small businesses, good manufacturing practice – standards, quality, and packaging.
We use "accelerated learning" techniques that allow participants to learn faster and remember more of what they learn at our export workshop
Our aim is to empower people on opportunities around which they can tap into in order to generate more income, become independent and even employ others by cloning our 7 figure export business model .
Unlike other export trainings where participants are left alone after the training, the Nigeria Export Workshop team will continually follow up and mentor all participants until they succeed. The training will also focus on practical ways how to start on a very small scale with local products and foodstuffs you can source for around you (for as low as N20,000) and sell for up to 100% profits.
We will also show you to start export business from the comfort of your bedroom with the use of our cutting-edge technology, that will connect you to buyers abroad automatically. (Thousands of dollars has been spent on this project already) This is indeed a NEW innovation in the history of export business in Nigeria that you can't afford to miss.

Creating a Creatures World Story
When I started thinking about planning a new C3/DS world, I had no idea that I would end up with Artemiidae. I often am asked questions about creating a new world, which typically encompasses the agents, breeds, and metarooms. Yet there is something else I've forgotten to mention: The world story. Huh? Many players likely aren't writers, or don't see the value in using a little imagination and creativity. Coming up with a backstory for a Creatures world definitely isn't necessary, so don't fear if you've never tried this exercise! My biggest problem with C3/DS is the way I've always felt disconnected to the worlds. I might be able to customize them however I choose, but throwing together a bunch of agents often feels like I'm just placing objects at random. These are the worlds I abandon after a short while because I feel like they're just… There. Enter the construction of a world story!
Guess what? You've likely built a story without even knowing it. Think about the last world you created that really stuck with you. Did you just make a list of things, or did you have an idea in mind? Let's use the concept of an underwater world as an example. How did it come to be like this? You might answer with, "It was flooded." Guess what? That's a story! Maybe the aquatic plants in the world evolved over time, or a Shee ship dropped a few engineered eggs with amphibious DNA. I went so far as to construct a short story about the history of Artemiidae. It's not the greatest piece of fiction, yet it makes me feel much closer to this world. I'm not just watching some pretty Norns swim around: I'm witnessing the survivors of the prideful Shee and making sure they thrive!
The beauty of the Creatures universe is that it can encompass anything: The official history is quite vague, leaving limitless possibilities. Remember that you have no direct control over what happens in the present and future of your world, but you control the entire history of it. Perhaps the story of the Shee works for you, and makes you feel connected. Awesome! If you're like me and struggle to really enjoy a new world, take a moment to think of the history and what your role is. There's no need to be a creative writer, either. A sentence or two is all you may need!
I would be happy to provide some examples and possible story construction ideas for Creatures. Feel free to ask away if you're interested! Writing stories is something I enjoy, but I have more fun inspiring others to get started. Building a world story could be just the thing to help you enjoy the Creatures games even more! Never feel like you could never create a decent story: Everyone has their own wonderful tale to weave!

All eyes on Anthony Nogeh
Posted on April 16, 2012, Monday
BAU: If the turn of events at the Barisan Nasional (BN) solidarity dinner at the Civic Centre here on Saturday is anything to go by, it is highly likely that Anthony Nogeh, 55, will contest in Mas Gading come the 13th general election.
The first sign that this Salcra deputy general manager would be picked by the BN was when he was named organising chairman for the SPDP-organised dinner.
He also gave a speech at the gathering in which the majority of the diners were Chinese.
The possibility became more convincing when, during the dinner, he accompanied SPDP deputy president Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing to greet the 850 guests. The greet-and-meet session was perceived as "introducing" Nogeh to the Chinese community.
On April 7, The Borneo Post reported SPDP president Tan Sri William Mawan Ikom as saying that only Nogeh and Henry Harry Jinep, 45, were in the running for Mas Gading.
He also hinted that whoever was not nominated this time around stood the chance to be picked to stand in Tasik Biru come the 11th state election (The 10th state election was held in April, 2011)
Prior to Mawan's announcement, the other potential candidates were Henry's brother William Jinep, who is the chief executive officer of Sarawak Rivers Board, Zecon general manager Rayan Narong, and DBNA president-cum-Permanent Secretary to the Ministry of Tourism Datu Ik Pahon Joyik.
"Nogeh is one of the potential candidates for Mas Gading. Regardless, we must rally behind our BN-SPDP candidate," said Tiong, who is also Bintulu MP, when met by reporters during the meet-and-greet session.
In his speech, Tiong hoped that the people would support the SPDP candidate in the general election.
"The Chinese community in Mas Gading is not happy with their previous member of parliament. Many felt that the MP did not do his job. In 2008, Mawan had promised to change the MP if he did not improve, but, somehow, the situation did not change.
"This time around, we have the opportunity to make things right."
The Mas Gading MP is Datuk Dr Tiki Lafe and the assemblyman for Tasik Biru is Datuk Peter Nasian. Both were sacked from SPDP together with three others recently for gross insubordination.
The other three are Datuk Slyvester Entri Muran (Marudi), Rosey Yunus (Bekenu) and Paulus Gumbang (Batu Danau).
All five are now partyless, but they have pledged their loyalty to the BN.
Among others present at the dinner were Mawan, SPDP life president Datuk Peter Nyarok Entrie, and political secretaries to the chief minister Paul Igai, Liew Ah Lek, Peter Howell Jilan and Kijan Toynbee, and former Tasik Biru assemblyman Lee Nyan Choi and his son John Lee, who is a former political secretary-cum-businessman.

Yuvraj Singh Makes Emotional Return
Yuvraj Singh will make his cricketing comeback following his battle with cancer in a Twenty20 International against New Zealand on 8th September. He has been named in the 15-man squad which will contest two Twenty20 Internationals against the Kiwis and then the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka later that month. Yuvraj has been battling a rare germ-cell cancer called mediastinal seminoma for over six months and recently said that Twenty20 cricket would be the ideal format in which to make his return.
India's Twenty20 squad contains several surprises, with recalls for fast-bowler Lakshmipathy Balaji and the previously out-of-favour spin pairing of Harbhajan Singh and Piyush Chawla. Balaji hasn't played international cricket since 2009 but was part of the Kolkata Knight Riders team which won the 2012 Indian Premier League, while Harbhajan has been out of favour for almost as long. He was dropped following India's poor tour of England last year and has recently been playing for English county side Essex, where his form has not exactly been sparkling, making his recall perhaps the most surprising. Chawla last played for India during their victorious 2011 World Cup campaign.
Chawla has also been included in the Test squad for the visit of New Zealand. The Indian team will play two Test matches against the Black Caps, the first of which is on 23rd August in Hyderabad. Other notable inclusions in the Test squad are those of batsmen Ajinkya Rahane, VS Laxman and Chesteshwar Pujara, along with fast-bowler Ishant Sharma. Rohit Sharma has been dropped following his recent run of atrocious form.
Kris Srikkanth, in his last selection meeting as chairman of selectors, said of the squads, "We have picked the best possible Test team. We looked at the conditions (in Sri Lanka) for the World T20. We feel that we have picked a team that will win us the World Cup. We are very happy Yuvi (Yuvraj) has been declared fit. In [the] 2011 World Cup, he was the Man of the Series. He is a crucial factor from India's point of view."
India Test squad: MS Dhoni (captain, wicket-keeper), R Ashwin, Piyush Chawla, Gautam Gambhir, Zaheer Khan, Virat Kohli, VVS Laxman, Pragyan Ojha, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Suresh Raina, Virender Sehwag, Ishant Sharma, Sachin Tendulkar, Umesh Yadav.
India T20 squad: MS Dhoni (captain, wicket-keeper), R Ashwin, Lakshmipathy Balaji, Piyush Chawla, Ashok Dinda, Gautam Gambhir, Zaheer Khan, Virat Kohli, Irfan Pathan, Suresh Raina, Virender Sehwag, Rohit Sharma, Harbhajan Singh, Yuvraj Singh, Manoj Tiwary.

Now I do not understand the whole thing. If its our goverment or actual Aliens. I saw ufos all my life. Usually from a distance. My mother feels she is an abductee for one day we had a talk about it. I am not sure what started the conversation but she told me as a child in Germany she grew up on a farm. As a little girl she saw lights land in their field. She remember walking out towards it, rather being drawn to it. She told me as she got close she passed out when she woke up she was in the grass and she lost two hours of time. Since then she refuses to even talk about the subject she was really spooked on the topic. I do not know if I am an abductee. i suspect I maybe but that is too much of a conversation to type in a forum for now
The experience I want to mention happened as an adult about 14 years ago. I was driving home from a store where in the distance I saw trangular lights flying low to the ground but moving super slow. it was too dark to tell what it was but it was slow enough that I got ahead of it. Strange enough it was moving towards the direction of my 3 story apartment complex. I got home, parked my car and just waited to see if I get to see "it" it was a triangle UFO lights underneath formed a upside down "V". It was low enough to the ground it could touch the roof of my 3 floor building. It was low enough I can see the light reflect off the metal body. There was no visual means of pulpusion and there was no sound. Dead quiet. It moved so very slow it was almost like it was searching for something. Suprisingly it completely ignored me. It was also small. maybe a two person craft?
I kinda just stood there dumbfounded. I was able to watch it a long time since it was moving so slow. I am rather sure many others saw it as well for it had to move over a busy roadway to get to where I was at.
Not an exciting story but it was amazing for me. I am not trying to show off and if noone believes me that is totally OK. I was fully awake when this happened and I do not do drugs and I was not drinking. Thanks for listening to me. I apologize for any typos or missspellings. I am tired.

Congratulations. It sounds as though you witnessed a genuine alien spacecraft. Welcome to the club. I once heard the sound of an alien spacecraft directly over my head. It was at this time that I saw and heard a grey alien, who was no more two feet away from me. I was completely awake. I was not hallucinating. And, I was completely sober.

Black Friday is the day to get some major holiday shopping done while retailers try to outdo each other in big deals and secret sales. With crazy opening hours, excited crowds and the thrill of the hunt all mixed together, doing a little Black Friday shopping can be a big adventure while you burn off all of those Thanksgiving-meal calories. Check out this list of places in Minnesota where you can find some of the best deals around.
Woodbury Lakes
9020 Hudson Road
Woodbury, MN 55125
(651) 251-9500
Woodbury Lakes kicks off the holiday shopping season with an Open House Event on Sunday, Nov. 17 starting at 4 p.m. and then moves to extended holiday hours through Christmas. This includes extended hours on Black Friday, which will vary by store. The mall includes chain favorites like Gap, American Eagle, Victoria's Secret and Express, as well as fun local boutiques like Charming Charlie, Francesca's Collection and Knox Jeweler's. Because Woodbury Lakes is an outdoor mall, it can be a bit quieter than other shopping venues, which is a big bonus when scoring limited-quantity deals. So layer on your warmest clothes and shop on.
Mall of America
8100 24th Ave. S.
Bloomington, MN 55425
(952) 883-8800
The Mall of America is practically required as a stop on the "show the out-of-state relatives around Minnesota" tour, but it's also a great option for getting your shopping done in one stop. With the addition of the Light Rail station, it's also easy to get to without fighting the crowds looking for parking. The mall joined other retailers in 2011 by opening at midnight on Black Friday, so plan your trip before you even get to bed after Thanksgiving dinner. The Mall of America runs the gamut from high-end specialties to favorite chains to unique boutiques and knick-knacks – perfect for crossing everyone off your list!
Rosedale Center
10 Rosedale Center
(651) 633-0872
In 2011, Rosedale Center jumped on the midnight bandwagon for Black Friday store hours, allowing shoppers to get some late-night shopping in before calling Thanksgiving a day. Rosedale features great anchor stores like Herberger's and Macy's, staple chains like J.Crew, Banana Republic, Apple, Carter's and Air Traffic and unique local finds like Goldy's Locker, The Woods and Len. There are plenty of stores to cover all your holiday wish list needs. Fuel up after shopping at one of the great restaurants like Big Bowl, Granite City or Green Mill and consider your holiday shopping "Mission Accomplished."
Albertville Premium Outlets
6415 Labeaux Ave. N.E.
Albertville, MN 55301
(763) 497-1911
With over 100 outlet stores, Albertville is always a hot destination to shop. With the annual "Midnight Madness" kicking off the official start to the holiday shopping season, it's definitely worth the trek to this northwest suburban shopping destination. Shopping kicks off at 12 a.m. on Black Friday and continues through the weekend with extended hours. Albertville boasts designer stores like Coach, Kenneth Cole, Calvin Klein and Michael Kors, as well as kid-friendly options like Gymboree Outlet and OskKosh B'Gosh. Or, pick up a novelty item from Bose or Harry & David.
3900 Cabela Drive
Owatonna, MN 55060
(507) 451-4545
Billing itself as the foremost outdoors retailer, Cabela's is well loved by the outdoor enthusiasts of Minnesota. Whether it's fishing and hunting gear or just the right chairs and tents to make the most of our beautiful state, there's plenty here to covet. The store polls its customers every year to build the best deals possible, so look for the release of the ad in mid-November. Typically opening early on Fridays and featuring "door-buster" items for the whole family through 10 a.m. or 11 a.m. in the morning, Cabela's offers plenty of gift ideas for those loving life on the boat, in the tent or hiking through fields.

Demands for Goldsmiths University diversity officer Bahar Mustafa to be removed from her post have grown after it emerged she used inflammatory quotes on tweets including #killallwhitemen and #whitetrash.
Almost 15,000 people have now signed a petition at change.org calling for Mustafa's removal following her plea for white men not attend an event for black and ethnic minority students at the south east London university. About 1,700 signed a similar petition supporting her.
Attempting to explain why she had tweeted offensive slogans, Mustafa said they were "in-jokes and ways that many people in the queer feminist community express ourselves. It's a way of reclaiming the power from the trauma many of us experience as queers, women, people of colour, who are on the receiving end of racism, misogyny and homophobia daily."
She admitted, however, that using the term #whitetrash on an official account was "not professional".
In a video posted online Mustafa added: "I, an ethnic minority woman, cannot be racist or sexist towards white men because racism and sexism describe structures of privilege based on race and gender and therefore women of colour and minority genders cannot be racist or sexist, since we do not stand to benefit from such a system."
Mustafa, who claims to have received racist and sexist abuse when the news surfaced, has also had plenty of support from the online community with many followers using the hashtag #supportbaharmustafa.
One Twitter user, Ella Baeker, said: "I #supportbaharmustafa because the question shouldn't be 'why were white people & men excluded?' but instead 'why are safe spaces needed?'"
However, others took an opposing view. George King wrote: "#supportbaharmustafa: one of the stupidest hashtags I've actually seen on here. Because replacing inequality with more inequality is right?"
Goldsmiths University said in a statement: "We have no involvement in [the Union's] decision-making or the programme of events that they offer."

'Diddy,' 'Magic' to Launch New Comcast Channels
Sean "Diddy" Combs and Earvin "Magic" Johnson are each starting their own TV channels Comcast announced today. The new stations come as part of the deal Comcast made when it merged with NBCUniversal. Comcast will launch 10 independent stations over the next eight years. Eight of those stations will have African-American or Hispanic owners and operators.
Diddy's station, Revolt, will launch in 2013 and focus on music and pop culture with a strong social media component. Magic Johnson's network, Aspire, will debut in the summer and will focus on family programming targeting African-American audiences.
Also launching is El Rey, an English-language station targeting Hispanic viewers. Robert Rodriguez, the filmmaker behind Sin City, the Spy Kids franchise, and El Mariachi, is one of the names behind that venture. El Rey is coming in January 2014 and will focus on everything from news and documentaries to music and sports.
And finally, BabyFirst Americas is coming in April, targeting babies and their parents with offerings to improve verbal, math, and motor skills.

text: Newt Gingrich's comments regarding women in the military are sexist, discriminatory and hold no statistical or scientific merit. In the article, he says, " males are biologically driven to go out and hunt giraffes." The full quote that accompanied this statement insinuates that women are more patient and less aggressive than the adrenaline driven 'naturally' aggressive man. Gingrich goes further in his generalizations and biases that women are unfit for combat, because they cannot remain in a ditch for 30 days because men and women are biologically and physically different. He assumes the majority of women are better fit to sit at a desk, than being an active participant in the front lines of war. Gingrich states one fact, that men do have more upper body strength than women, which is also stated in the article, "Gender and War" (p.24), because it is a "rare" case, he doesn't acknowledge the possibility that women are capable of combat. Newt Gingrich's comments differ from the article "Gender and War" in that "Gender and War" took a more defensive stand on women's rights in combat, which provided pros and cons that were accompanied by statistics, arguments and testimonies. Gingrich's article provided his sole view on combat that was filled with assumptions, generalizations and sexism. 'A woman being brutally killed alongside men is a long-awaited feminist dream of equality.' (p.116) This statement is satirical, but in the battle of equality for women this is a logical statement. In the "Women in combat: Good to go if they meet standards" article General Martin Dempsey said, "When you have one part of the population that is designated as warriors and another part that's designated as something else, I think that disparity begins to establish a psychology that in some case led to that environment…I have to believe, the more we can treat people equally, the more likely they are to treat each other equally." A feminist's dream is equality. Equality means that women should be allowed to fight next to their male counterparts in combat. While I agree that women should be allowed to fight on the front lines, I do feel like they should be tested and well equipped for the position. The idea that women cannot fight in combat has been established since the beginning of time. It has been passed down from generation to generation, it has been ingrained in society, that there is a definite contrast between men and women physically, mentally and emotionally. However, as Dempsey stated, if we change the psychology of the established dogma, I believe it would lead to a change in our society on our views of women in combat. If we remain devoted to an ideology without allowing it to be challenged that is not fair to women and we would be doing our society a disservice, especially based upon our principles such as: equality, pursuit of happiness and liberty (Merriam-Webster 1b. freedom of physical restraint).

We'll be determining a better name than "The New Place" at the House Warming on 7/7/07.
The following are the dates that I expect to gaming to happen for the rest of June and into July:
6–20 — Gaming night at the New Place
6–27 — Gaming night at Megann's Place
7–4 — Gaming night at the New Place
7–7 — House Warming at the New Place
7–11 — Gaming night at Megann's Place
As you can see on here, frog_mb has decided to set up gaming at her place on the Wednesdays that it's not happening at the New Place. Contact her at <meg_3454 @ yahoo.com> for more details and directions.
In an additional note, there is evidently "Devil's Workshop Hangout Night at happilymyself's" every Wednesday. Contact pooka_99 at yahoo dot com for details.
I've set up a mailing list to announce and discuss gaming. If you'd like a mailed announcement rather than just reading this post, say so and I'll add you...
In the past, we've played Game of Real Life, San Juan, Cricket Cricket, Settlers/Seafarers/Cities & Knights of Catan, Apples to Apples, Nodwick, Fluxx, Chrononauts, ImaginIff, Falling, Snits Revenge, Awful Green Things, Illuminati, Lunch Money, Filthy Rich, and others. It depends on what the folks that show up prefer as well as what they bring. Folks are welcome to bring their own games as well.
Note that many people _haven't_ played these games. Most of them are not overly complex and some can be taught on the fly. We do teach the rules before we play, so don't worry if the games aren't familiar.
It's okay to show up a little late to his since we usually play something light first, waiting for folks to show up.
Please feel free to show up. Bring snacks if you'd like although some snacks will be provided.

I know you know why so many sardines are squished into a flat can: the fish are cheaper than the oil used to pack them. You knew that, right? Of course – but what kind of fish are sardines? Are there schools of sardines swimming around the oceans – especially in the Mediterranean next to Sardinia where they got their name?
Well, yes and no. You see, lots of fish can be sardines. There's really no official species that qualifies – until it gets close to the can. Sardines can be herrings, round herrings, pilchards, sprats and many other kinds of fish. The only defining characteristic of sardines is size -they must be under 4-inches. That's it.
I hate it when things are defined only by size.

Some thoughts on custom saddles…
There's a lot of hype in the horse world about custom-made saddles. Some of us would like to believe that a custom saddle will solve all of our fitting, training and riding issues; some like the status attached to a custom saddle, and some believe the only way to get a high-quality saddle is to go custom. We've found that most of the horses we see can be beautifully fit in an "off the rack" saddle with the help of a competent saddle fitter. Here are some common myths about custom saddles, demystified.
MYTH: A custom-made saddle is built to your horse's measurements, starting with the construction of the tree.
REALITY: Your saddle will indeed be "custom-made" to the measurements that the saddle company gets – but, in many cases, out of stock parts. (There are some craftsmen out there who will build the tree, but they're the exception to the rule.) Most saddle companies have an existing stock of trees in a variety of shapes and sizes, flaps of assorted lengths, and a stock of thigh blocks, knee rolls and calf blocks. The correct tree for your horse's shape is chosen, and construction begins. The saddle company will build the panel and flock it according to measurements, and add whatever you want for flap length, padding, knee rolls / thigh blocks.
MYTH: In order for a saddle to be of the highest quality, it has to be custom-made.
REALITY: Any good saddle company will turn out their best possible product – whether it's custom-made or "off-the-rack". The custom saddle that you wait and wait (and sometimes WAIT) for won't necessarily be any better in overall quality than a stock model.
MYTH: A custom-made saddle is guaranteed to fit my horse perfectly.
REALITY: Unless you're lucky and wealthy enough to have a saddler who will come to your barn at each and every step of the saddle making process, they have to rely on the tracings, templates and perhaps photos of your horse. Remember, these measurements were taken when your horse was standing still … it can become a whole other scenario when you mount and your horse starts moving. If you have to wait weeks for a custom saddle, you're not just going to suspend your horse's training, right? Your horse's back could be muscled quite differently when you actually get that saddle. Most custom saddle companies will offer to fit or re-work the saddle if it doesn't seem quite right, but if it REALLY doesn't work, the likelihood is you are stuck with it.
MYTH: A custom-made saddle will solve all my fitting problems forever.
REALITY: Do the pants you wore in high school still fit the way they did then? Probably not. A saddle that's custom-made for your 4-year-old prospect may be "high school pants" by the time your horse is 8 or 10 or 12. A horse's back changes radically as it progresses in training, what worked for Training level or trotting cavalettis may be completely unsuitable for a horse that is trained for Prix St. George or 4'6". Any saddle, whether custom or stock, should be checked at least once a year and adjusted as necessary.
MYTH: A custom-made saddle is worth more money than a stock model.
REALITY: Only to you, and only as long as it fits your horse. If you have to sell it sometime in the future, you probably won't get any more for it than you would for a stock model and since it was made to one horse and one rider's specifications, it can be even harder to move than an off-the-rack saddle.
MYTH: The only way I can get special options on a saddle is if I go custom.
REALITY: Most saddle companies can add features such as special billeting systems, custom flap lengths, d-rings, etc to a stock model saddle at a nominal extra charge.
What is the difference between a Saddler/ Master Saddler and a Saddle Fitter?
Saddler / Master Saddler:
– a person who builds saddles. Different countries have different programs for their saddlers. The term 'Master Saddler' indicates that person was trained in England, and has gone through a rigorous program and testing before being awarded that title.
– a person concerned with turning out a well-made, high quality product – hopefully with a basic understanding of what fits and what doesn't.
Saddle fitter:
– aware of what fits and does not fit the individual horse.
– able to correct the fit of a saddle by adjusting the flocking (on a wool or synthetic-flocked saddle) or through the use of corrective pads or shims (on a foam-filled saddle).
For more information on saddlers, saddle fitters, their training and the like, visit the Society of Master Saddlers' website at http://www.mastersaddlers.co.uk/

Edmonton screenwriter's movie starring Gerard Butler starts filming in October
EDMONTON -- An Edmonton financial planner is about to have his screenplay turned into a Hollywood movie.
Although Kurt McLeod's script "Cop Shop" starts shooting in October, he penned it six years ago.
"It is really exciting and you always hope like something like that can happen, but when it does happen it's a treat," says McLeod.
The big-budget film will star Gerard Butler, who McLeod envisioned in the role when he was writing the script.
"Of course, I actually didn't think he'd actually be in it."
Frank Grillo has also been cast for the feature film.
Since this is the first feature length movie that McLeod has written, he says he's hesitant to talk about what role Butler or Grillo will play, or even what's in the script.
"Because I've never done this before, I don't know what I'm even allowed to say."
So McLeod is sticking to what the movie company wrote about what he wrote.
"'Cop Shop is set in a small town police station that becomes the unlikely battleground between a smart, rookie female cop and some unsavoury characters.' So that's what they're putting out and I like that," McLeod says.
McLeod also likes the fact that he doesn't write scripts full time. His day job is a financial planner.
"It certainly helps to be a financial professional for when things do happen because I'm really able to make it count."
He has two other scripts ready to go in case Hollywood calls again. In the meantime, he'll keep working and wait for Cop Shop to hit theatres.
"My work is basically done. I'll just be excited to show up and hopefully if there's a premiere, if everything is back to normal, sit in the audience and watch it unfold," he says.

Last updated on May 8th, 2018
As many of you know I have been traveling in England the past week, so I thought to revisit Oxford and get some shiny pictures of the wonderful views and atmosphere that helped create Middle Earth.
Oxford is a distinguished city. It boasts a rich history and centenary buildings that have sheltered academics and researches throughout most of modern history. It is also surrounded by beautiful green vistas that any Tolkien fan would identify as the Shire xD
So, before our little tour, some trivia for those of you missing some detail:
- J.R.R Tolkien was born in South Africa and lost his parents at an early age, but his mother's homeschooling included Latin, botany and art. These, along with his love for the countryside and disdain for the industrial city he was made to move into were clear influences in his "good rural vs evil industry" Saruman theme.
- When still young, a Baboon Spider bit him and is said to have inspired the giant spiders such as Shellob. (Tolkien claimed to have no particular fear of spiders as an adult.
- He fell in love with a girl but was forbidden from talking to her until he was of the age of 21. Two years passed and he returned to ask her for marriage, making her break off another engagement. This is said to have inspired the forbidden romances in the books.
The Tolkien Oxford Tour
I started my visits at Pembroke College, where J.R.R Tolkien taught Anglo-Saxon
Inside this building, The Hobbit and the first two volumes of LoTR were written. The College is closed to the public but, as all other Oxford Colleges, allows visits to members and public can stop by the Chapel.
I also visited Merton College, where Tolkien served as Professor of English Language and Literature
It is said that the grounds of this college, which feature stone tables and benches with hexagonal shapes, inspired the author's designs of Middle Earth, as he could be found sitting, writing and pondering in the gardens.
Tolkien's stories started out as narrations for his children, which prompted him to realize his gift for storytelling and seek fellow literate enthusiasts who would share his love for writing and reading. Tolkien joined The Inklings, a group of scholars devoted to literature and fine Ale created by a undergraduate of the University College:
The Inklings
The Inklings would gather at the Bird and Baby Public House, now renamed to Eagle and Child.
It was in these very rooms that The Lord of The Rings was first read, and it was wonderful to be able to see the pub working and retaining its very low key approach to its fame. I saw several Tolkien fans enjoying meals at the spot and quietly commenting on the significance of the pub. Had the group not existed, we may have never read these amazing works.
There are several other places that have hints for the Tolkien fan:
- The White Horse pub, clearly inspiration to the Prancing Pony;
- Wayland's Smithy, the starting point of the Barrow Downs;
- Uffington's White Horse, akin to Rohan's banner.
I certainly recommend the tour for anyone planning a visit to England.
My last stop was in North Oxford, Wolvercotte. J.R.R Tolkien spent a long time here and the local cemetery houses his grave.
I found it a very modest grave, almost too simple to keep the remains of a man we all owe such a big thank you to. I was of course very moved to see the connection between Middle Earth and his life. For any of you who do not know, the famous Silmarillion scene in which Beren, a mortal man, falls in love with the beautiful elvish maiden Luthien was inspired by Edith's dancing and singing amongst woods for Tolkien.
I also found the mini Gandalf gift very appropriate to this humble and clearly intimate grave
Hope you all enjoyed the tour! For more of our gamer travel adventures check out the Travel section of Fextralife!

In a rush? Don't have time to read detailed information about the best electric string trimmer? We have you covered. This short paragraph should offer sufficient information for you to make a smart choice. We have gathered a lot of information about different products for sale to determine just how good the top rated models really are based on actual owner feedbacks and ratings at expert review sites. Fortunately, our exhaustive research and product evaluation have led us to the top selling model on the market, the WORX WG175. This exceptional product is equipped with three-in-one function that allows you to handle a variety of tasks including mowing, edging and grass trimming, so you can get rid of those handheld grass clippers that only cause more backache than the amount of landscaping and garden maintenance you can actually do. Thanks to the dual-position wheels of the machine, you can transform it easily from a trimmer to an inline edger using no tools and just in mere seconds. You also get award winning power and longer runtime due to the 32-volt max lithium power battery. If the WORX WG175 runs out of stock, we highly recommend the second best option designed to be just as good, the DEWALT DCST920P1.
Buying Guide
Designed to carry on where a lawn mower leaves off, an electric walk behind string trimmer provides the finishing touches to keep your property looking immaculately manicured. An electric string trimmer straightens uneven edges along driveways and cuts away grass around trees and flower beds while running cleaner and quieter compared to gas-fed machines. So what makes the best electric string trimmer better than others?
Offers a choice between corded and cordless
Typically weighing less than 10 pounds, electric trimmers with a cord are best used to handle modest landscaping needs and smaller yards, since the power cord can provide limited reach. You may have to use an extension cord with a corded machine, aside from ensuring there's easy access to an electric socket. A corded electric string trimmer starts at a simple push of a button and will not need tune ups. It ensures sustained electric power so you can finish trimming your garden in one go. It is also quieter and lighter than a gas-fueled trimmer. You won't have to carry the weight of a rechargeable battery along with the weight of the machine itself.
A cordless trimmer provides greater mobility compared to a corded unit thanks to its battery-powered design. It allows you to go around your property without the clutter of power cords. A cordless electric trimmer will not need string pulling to start and won't emit fumes from burning messy fuel mixes. This type of machine is ideal for grass of moderate length. The added weight of the battery, which should preferably be lithium ion, can be an issue but as long as the component delivers greater power, longer runtime and fast charging, it should not be too much of a problem. Whether you go for a corded or cordless electric trimmer, make sure the motor is top mounted for a better balanced design compared to a motor positioned next to the cutting line.

Offers ease of use
Power is transmitted from the motor or engine to the cutting line via the shaft. When you have to trim grass in tight areas, a curved shaft offers good results and easy control thanks to a lighter feel. On the other hand, a straight shaft provides longer reach and access under obstacles including benches, shrubs and decks. A tall operator will find a straight shaft machine easier to handle. The working height of the machine can be changed using an adjustable shaft.
The stop switch should be within easy fingertip reach for instantaneous stopping. Some models feature a rotating head for hassle-free swiveling to a vertical position for edging tasks. Maneuvering the string trimmer 90 degrees and holding it at that position can be quite difficult, so a swiveling head facilitates the job. A unit with wheels enables easy transportability to and from areas in your yard.
Effortless cutting line feed options
Line from the spool is released through bump feed by simply tapping the head of the string trimmer on the ground. However, some models come with fixed-line heads that feature short line lengths to reduce incidences of tangling and jamming that come with new line loading. Although you will have to thread a piece of line more frequently, you will only need to do that as needed. An auto-feed head comes pre-wound, and line is released as needed. Line release may not be reliable on some models but a quarter inch of line is released every time the machine is switched on.
Electric string trimmer makers indicate the replacement line size for their products, so be sure to use the intended line specs for the machine you get. Cutting power will be compromised if you get an overly thin line. The motor or engine of the machine will get bogged down when thicker -than-intended line is used. Check out machines with two lines to cut a greater amount of grass at a single revolution compared to a single-line trimmer. With those machines, you can handle heavier grass growth.

Using the WordPress navigation menus is quite straightforward. First a theme location is registered. Here is an example taken from Twenty Twelve:
register_nav_menu( 'primary', __( 'Primary Menu', 'twentytwelve' ) );
Second, the navigation menu is displayed with 'wp_nav_menu'. Here again is an example taken from Twenty Twelve:
wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary', 'menu_class' => 'nav-menu' ) );
The function accepts quite a lot of (optional) arguments, but the most important one is 'theme_location'. When registering only one theme location with 'register_nav_menu', WordPress appears to work if it is not specified in the 'wp_nav_menu' call, but it is a wrong assumption. Just make the following test (with Polylang inactive to be certain that it does not interefere in your test):
- don't specify the theme_location parameter in your 'wp_nav_menu' call
- create a first menu in appearance->menus and save it
- create a second menu and save it
- assign the second menu to your unique theme location
You will see that WordPress displays the first created menu instead of the second one. That's not a WordPress bug ! But a frequent mistake found in themes (including Premium themes). And of course since Polylang needs at least one menu per language, such theme conflicts.
So to theme developpers, please, always specify the 'theme_location' parameter in your 'wp_nav_menu' calls…

How do you do EFT?
- Identify The Issue. Notice something that is bothering you. It might be something that happened, or something you're stressed about. a) What is the emotion you're experiencing? b) Notice where you feel the emotion, or the stressor, in your body.
- Measure the intensity. Measure the intensity of the problem as it is in the present moment by using a basic scale of 0 – 10, i.e. 0 – no discomfort, to 10 – maximum discomfort. We also test as we go. This helps us to determine if we're on the right course and are truly feeling better.
- The Setup. State the problem in this format. Say, "Even though (state the problem specifically), I deeply and completely accept myself," while tapping on the karate chop point on the hand, (see illustration) with the fingertips of the other hand. Repeat the statement three times.
Example Setup Statements
Even though I have this thumping headache, I deeply and completely accept myself.
Even though I'm so angry at Jack for humiliating me publicly, I deeply and completely accept myself.
Even though I really want to eat these chips, I deeply and completely accept myself.
The Setup Statement must acknowledge the problem (yes, it's negative) and state acceptance of the problem. The self-acceptance part of the statement is integral. Say it even if you don't believe it at first. Now that you've set up your energy system, you're ready for the next part of EFT's Basic Recipe, the Sequence.
- The Sequence Tap on the meridian points below while saying a reminder phrase. Tap five or six times, with two or three fingertips, starting with the top of the head. (Some people start with the eyebrow point and finish with the head. It doesn't really matter.)Reminder Phrases are the things you say while tapping on the points. You simply state a brief phrase that reminds you of the problem, tuning into it. E.g. this headache, this headache, this headache…
EFT Tapping Points Finger Points(not frequently used)
The finger points can serve as a shortcut when you want to be discreet, or may be used as an add-on to the Basic Recipe. They are located on the side of the fingers, beside the nail. When tapping on the left hand, use the right side of fingers when hand is pointing downward and vice versa.
- Measure Intensity Again. After one or two rounds through the points you measure again, and repeat the procedure, until such time the distress score diminishes significantly or disappears altogether. When possible, it's best to test in the real world also. (i.e. expose yourself to potato chips)

The walk down the aisle is a highly anticipated event, not only for the Bride, her escort, and the Groom, but also for the guests! It is fun to guess, "what will the Bride walk out to?" Music has been used to evoke emotion in people for centuries and during a wedding is no different. The song can make an emotional moment even more sentimental or funny! Weddings have gotten so creative with music! Whether it is sung live by a close friend or relative, or played over the speaker, music only adds to the beautiful magic of seeing someone walk down the aisle.
Some songs we love to see Brides walk down the aisle to:
"Marry Me" by Train
"A Thousand Years" Christina Perri
"Canon in D" Pachelbel
"Over the Rainbow" Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
"Make You Feel My Love" Adele
"Come Away With Me" Norah Jones
"Better Together" Jack Johnson
"Here Comes the Sun" The Beatles
"Ho Hey" Lumineers
"Wanted" Hunter Hayes
"At Last" Etta James
"Yellow" Coldplay
"Feeling Good" Nina Simone
"Higher Love" James Vincent Mc Morrow
"First Day of my Life" Bright Eyes
"Bless the Broken Road" Rascal Flatts
Everyone is different and your music should reflect your taste and style. It should also reflect your personal relationship with the person you are walking towards. Chances are, the music will drown out in your head anyways because of the overwhelming moment. Enjoy it and try to walk slow!

Rodge Glass - Hope For Newborns
- Mark Edmundson
- 22 May 2008
After the success of debut No Fireworks, Rodge Glass returns to themes of lapsing Judaism, focusing on what it means to be British in an age where homeland pride is a misty-eyed memory, and an anomaly to third generation immigrants. Lewis is a young 20-something stifled by his feudal family and self-imposed reclusion; dividing his time between a soulless office job in which he secretly takes great satisfaction, duties in his father's patriotic and besieged barber shop and caring for his defiantly mute and reticent mother. Having long dreamed of shelving his responsibilities and touring the globe, a convenient and quiet escape presents itself in a mysterious call to arms.
It can be a bleak read, though not unrelenting, and the humour is slight if observationally astute. Rather than the anticipated grand boy-meets-world travelogue, Hope For Newborns proves more kitchen sink in its scope and, true to life, offers no guarantee of resolution.
