I am pretty deece at planning ahead and organizing my life. But at the same time, I feel like I am always doing everything last minute. Sometimes I wonder if I should just redefine what last minute is so that I am more satisfied with my preparation for things. Maybe I should decide that "last minute" is literally a minute before something needs to be done. That way when I am up until 3 am working on something, I can feel like I am doing things way ahead of time.
What I am talking about: Thanksgiving. This is the first time I will be making the meal, at least, the whole meal. And there is no doubt in my mind that I will be up until midnight on Wednesday night getting ready for Thanksgiving the next day. I think I will do my family proud by keeping the essentials on the table, but also trying some new things. Want to know my current menu? Here is what I am doing:
-Alton Brown's Brined Turkey - I ordered a fresh turkey. I will let you know if it was worth it. This recipe is killer.
-Gravy (just from the Turkey drippings and some homemade chicken stock) - my dad disagrees with my method, he likes to add milk.
-Mashed Potatoes - I just do cream cheese, butter, cream, salt and pepper. Just like my mom taught me.
-Orange-Cranberry Sauce - a classic.
-Smoked Chile Scalloped Sweet Potatoes - You know my sweet potato dilemma, I am going spicy.
-Sausage and Kale Stuffing - I struggled with what kind of regular bread stuffing to make and went this which is full of veggies (kale and butternut squash) and other non-bread items like sausage.
-Cornbread, Leek, Bacon, Apple, and Pecan Stuffing - Cornbread stuffing with apples and bacon is my favorite!
-Soft Knotted Rolls - these might not happen.
Dessert: Pumpkin Pie from the Flour cookbook (here is close recipe) with whipped cream
Probably too much. I mean, definitely too much. But ya know.
Have I ever told you the story of my sister and her pumpkin pie? Several Thanksgivings ago, my sister made the pumpkin pie. And it was a big deal because she made the pumpkin puree from scratch. One day there was a little pumpkin on the counter. The next day there was a pumpkin pie on the counter. So...we all praised her from making her pie from scratch. And we also all went on and on about how good it tasted. Only to find out (I think, several years later), that the pumpkin puree didn't work out and she actually just made it from a can. I have never been able to trust her since. (For the record, she insists that what I have explained here isn't even what happened. Don't listen to her.)
The bottom line is: there is very little evidence that fresh pumpkin puree makes any difference. However, I still made some to make my pie from (Aunt Linda always does it, so shall I). Pumpkin pie is on my "Thanksgiving only" list, so I thought I should do it justice.
Anyways, as usual, this discussion has nothing to do with the recipe I am posting. I have made quinoa cakes a few times before, but I always just make it up as I go, so I never have a recipe to share. I enjoy throwing quinoa cakes into a weeknight meal mix. They aren't that quick to make from the start, but once you have to mixture made, they make a really quick dinner. And I LOVE them with a green salad and a delicious dijon based vinaigrette. As with any veggie based cake, they can be a little finicky and fall apart easily. For the last 500 cakes that this recipes makes, I ended up heating oil in a non-stick skillet and then just putting an thin, even layer of the quinoa mixture over the entire skillet. I crisped up the first side and then just kind of broke it up to flip it in pieces. It isn't pretty. But just as good. And I was hungry. PS: These do NOT taste half as good without the salad and vinaigrette. Necessary.
Lemon and Olive Quinoa Cakes
adapted from Joy the Baker
1 1/2 cups raw quinoa
2 1/4 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs, beaten
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup grated parmesan or Gruyere cheese
1/3 cup coarsely chopped green olives
1/3 cup chopped parsley or green onions
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon water
olive oil
In a medium saucepan place quinoa, water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil. Cover, decrease the heat, and simmer for about 20 minutes, until the quinoa is tender. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
In a small bowl, whisk eggs and set aside. In a large bowl, toss together onion, garlic, cheese, olives, parsley, lemon zest, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, and cooled quinoa. Add beaten eggs and stir until all of the quinoa mixture is moistened. Add water to thoroughly moisten mixture. Quinoa should be slightly wet so it doesn't dry out during cooking.
Scoop out mixture by the 2 tablespoonful. Use clean, moist fingers to form into a patty. Create as many patties as you'd like.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. If you pan is large enough, add four to six patties to the hot pan. You'll need a bit of room to successfully flip them.
Cook on each side until beautifully browned, about 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Low heat helps the quinoa cakes cook slowly. Brown on each side then remove to a paper towel lined plate.
Serve warm with a small spinach salad, or with scrambled eggs. Also, the quinoa mixture can be left, uncooked in the fridge for a few days. Cook as necessary.

I have another baking book up for review today! This time it's Cake Ladies by Jodi Rhoden. This book appealed to me immediately because I consider myself to be somewhat of a cake lady. "What is a cake lady?", you may be asking yourself. Everyone may have a different definition, but to me a cake lady is a woman who bakes cakes to make people happy. Sometimes they bake to make ends meet, sometimes it's a creative outlet, and sometimes it's to feel a part of a community. All the ladies in this book come from different backgrounds and have their own story, but they all believe in the healing powers of cake. They all love cake. I love cake. Do you?
Are there really healing powers in cake? In a way, I believe there is. A homebaked cake sitting on the counter makes an ordinary day better, they put smiles on faces. There's a reason they're always present at birthdays, weddings and showers. It's like a gift wrapped up in sweet buttercream and piped rosettes. Okay, enough about cake and more about the ladies who make them. This book shares the stories of 17 women- from bakery owners in Georgia to a midwife in North Carolina who bakes for the new babies she delivers to sisters in New Orleans baking vegan and sugar-free cupcakes for the community.
I read this book while soaking in a hot tub. I got so wrapped up in it that I had to rewarm the water an hour and a half later. The cakes that are shared in this book are all the prized recipes from these ladies. I chose to bake the peanut butter banana cupcakes, because I adore that combination. I really enjoy a PB and banana with honey sandwich and these cupcakes were very similar in flavor. The cupcake itself was dense and moist and the peanut butter cream cheese frosting was so light and fluffy. I also plan to make the chocolate cake on the cover- a request from Mr. H and a white layer cake slathered in lemon curd. That one is for me. Yum!
The only downside I saw in this book is that the author, Jodi Rhoden, who is a cake lady in her own right didn't share a recipe of her own. That would have been the perfect addition to this book. Otherwise it was a great read, informative and all the recipes are accompanied with full size color photos.
Peanut Butter & Banana Cupcakes from Cake Ladies
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas
- 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
For the Icing:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup dried banana chips (for garnish)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees . Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners and set aside.
For the Cupcakes: Beat the eggs and sugars together in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy, stopping the mixer twice during mixing to scrape down the paddle, bottom and sides of the bowl. Add the oil in a slow, steady stream while beating on medium low speed. Add the vanilla and beat. Add the bananas and peanut butter, mix, scrape down the bowl and beat.
Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together into a separate bowl and set aside.
With the blender on low speed, alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the creamed mixture in three parts, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Blend just until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Add batter into each cupcake liner until two-thirds full. depending on the size of your cupcake pans, this recipe should make about 2 dozen cupcakes.
Bake cupcakes for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
For the Icing: Cream the butter, peanut butter and the cream cheese together in a bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment on low speed. Beat until the mixture is smooth and cream and no lumps remain. Add and combine the vanilla. Add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, blending on low speed until fully incorporated. Scrape down the paddle, sides, and the bottom of the bowl using a rubber spatula. Beat the mixture on medium speed until light and fluffy.
Icing the Cupcakes: When the cupcakes are completely cool, spread or pipe about 2 heaping tablespoons on the peanut butter icing on each cupcake, then garnish each one with a banana chip.
Cupcakes will keep several days covered in the refrigerator.

She sat as she usually did at the beginning of one of her more philosophical lectures, with her one thigh resting on the edge of her desk. When she brushed her short dark hair behind her ears, tucking the strands neatly into the arms of her slim spectacles, as she did now, it somehow lured onlookers, in this instance, her students, to sit forward in anticipation. It was her way of readying herself, and us, for what was to come. She interlocked her fingers in her lap and with a vaguely shaky voice, she began.
"How hard is it, to believe in the invisible… how hard have we tested our perception of invisibility? An 'invisible God', for instance? Why, why is he invisible in the first place? And is the concept of invisibility even believable, I mean, it's been the subject of many art pieces - films, scientists have actually been working on an actual 'invisibility cloak'. But can there be any truth to this concept, anything more than fiction? Is it yet another fruitless pursuit of some impossible goal?"
She turned her gaze to the open window now.
"The more we know, the more we clutter ourselves. Travel to a rural town, experience a slower paced life and it will begin to lend some appreciation, not only for our creature comforts, but also to how simple life can be, or once was. I've met people whose only concern, quite literally, amounted to "when was the rain coming?" – that was and still is their main cause of stress. I've met farmers who've prayed for rain…
I started in this manner because I want you to take a mental step back for a moment and think about life differently, to clear the clutter of bills, work, study, even family, from your plate, and let's just think about life… the roots of it.
When it comes down to the essentials, it becomes a matter of perception, because your life is less cluttered, you get to focus on the real things. I think of rural dusty towns because on such outskirts you become most aware of life in general." She said her two fists together, "You're conscious of it all the more, and just like that your perspective changes because quite literally, you're relying more of your five senses to interact with your surroundings. City life often involves things or people jumping out at you, asking for your attention, making a noise, shrouding your vision… assaulting your senses. In remote places, that is removed, and you're suddenly aware of the sound of your own footsteps, natural smells and aromas of nature, the cleaner air, being able to see to the untouched distance, and after a while you're perhaps aware of the sound of your own breathing, because it is the only sound punctuating the air.
You become fully aware of your own existence because now that everything, family, friends, TV, wifi, noise, is all gone and nothing is begging for your attention, everything around you just is. So your own existence… it feels, strangely "close" because now your senses are required to fetch stimuli from around you." She grabbed fists of air.
It's simple; it's how we perceive life. How we see this material world before us. Our senses, are our gateway to this world, allowing us to experience it. What we sense, governs what we determine to be invisible or not. The ancient peoples and rural cultures all had a sense of the spiritual, yet city life has diminished that sense by simply droning it out. We've become desensitized on a spiritual level.
Think about this a moment: Dogs have more powerful olfactory sensors, said to be 1000 times more powerful than ours. So their sense of smell is richer, and broader, detecting odours that we can't. They're able to hear certain frequencies that we cannot.
Crustaceans, in particular, the Mantis Shrimp, has one of the most elaborate visual systems ever discovered. They're considered to have the most complex eyes of the animal kingdom. Some species possess 16 different photoreceptor types, of which 12 are for analysing colour. What does this mean? Well we only have 4 visual pigments of which 3 are used for colour perception. The rainbow stems from 3 colours. What this means is that they not only possess a better visual spectrum than we do, but it's even better than our best technology can offer. It easily outperforms Blu-Ray optical technology.
Mantis Shrimps can perceive more colours than we can. Does this mean there are more colours than we know? It makes sense if there are, since most of the light spectrum is not visible to us. What's certain is that they perceive more than us, including ultraviolet light, and even polarization vision.
What is clear to me is that even by studying the material world there's a whole lot more than meets the eye… or ears and nose - not forgetting taste. So already we know, or are aware of the unknown… sorry to use this once laughed at idiom. But this is the known unknown…
So by considering the invisibility of God, specifically addressing people who seem sure that there is no God, or spiritual/supernatural realm, we can already ascertain that even within our humble finite existence, we cannot see all there is to see, or hear all there is to hear… and this is about what we know exists out there. To us, they are known invisible entities. There are definite elements that exist outside our realm of perception.
Now, spare another thought for the invisible world of . . . your mind."
Her head cocked to one side, "Wait what? – Yes," She nodded, looking at our faces, "everything happening inside your mind, your thoughts, your imagination and your dreams. ALL this takes place outside, or apart from the natural material world, and are, by their nature, invisible to others. They are intangible.
So already we've established 'perceivable' unknowns or invisibilities, and thence indefinable invisibilities. Again, these are invisible elements we know exist.
Now think about this:
If you're in an accident, you may lose limbs, have an organ transplant, become paralyzed…" She waited, "the point is, that despite these things, you would still remain who you are, in mind, your personality… the essential things that make you, YOU. And guess what, it's those invisible things that make us different. I've seen a couple of medical cases where patients lost portions of their brain, and though their lives were adversely affected, they still remain essentially who they are as people.
So what makes us who we are? This is the existential question, because even through all that I've mentioned, there's still more to us. A relative of mine recently suffered a stroke which has drastically impaired her speech. As a result, she could only enunciate two words: 'Willy boy' – this incidentally is what she used to call her now deceased husband. So of all the words in the two languages that she was able to speak, somehow her brain and mouth 'chose' those words as their default setting as she now learns how to speak again. Is this due to habit, muscle memory, or Love, or all of the above? Either way, its food for thought.
We are already more than what we can perceive.
Is believing in an "invisible God" really that hard?
Ask yourself this: Is your idea of God too 'provincial'? –
The Bible is, well, its like a Vladimir Nabokov quote – 'not like one wave... and to experience it does not mean you've grasped the whole sea. To truly understand it, would mean getting in the boat, going out to open waters until you can't see land anymore. You then experience the waves that the sea can muster, and in the midst of it, find out what God's Grace is really about… but still, you would be in the dark as to the teeming life beneath the surface, and the endless undercurrents...
Many want to think of God as a simple timekeeper, who wound the universe's clock, and then let it tick on," she wafted her hand, "leaving it be, to run its course. But no, when we were created, the first of us, we were created holy, and righteous to stand in God's presence – it was only Good.
So what is Holy? – It means to belong to, or derived from, or associated with - a divine power. Something sacred. Regarded with veneration or specificity. Something reverent.
But we disobeyed God, and thence removed ourselves from holiness, from God's presence, as we descended into sin.
And what is Sin? - A condition of estrangement from God, resulting from such disobedience. Romans 14:23 "… and whatever is not from faith is sin" – thus we are born into it, because we are born separated from God – we're on opposing sides.
But this creator of the universe, who sits on his throne in heaven, then stepped off that throne, to be born of a woman, and live amongst us, knowing full well what would happen. He knew he would be killed. But God planned this since our fall in Genesis 3. He planned it perfectly. He chose to dwell among us, to demonstrate his love… and true love is sacrificial – caring not for oneself, but for others.
And Sacrifice? - A Relinquishment of something at less than its presumed value. === Imagine you were sentenced to death for a crime you were guilty of - which we all are, in this life - and someone came, and they said they loved you… even though we did not deserve the love, and they said they would take your place,to be executed in your stead. THIS is the type of love God has for us.
God didn't just choose to die, he chose to be beaten, tortured, laid bare and humiliated… reduced to a bleeding chunk of ripped flesh nailed to a wooden cross. - When this was prophesied in the Old Testament, this method of death, and punishment, hadn't even been invented yet.
God not only humbled himself, but Jesus subjected himself to hours of pain for our sake.
It would be simple for God to show up and exercise his power, much like the miracles he performed throughout the Bible, with the same universe-creating power, making it obvious to us that he is the one true God, the almighty, brandishing his majesty in a visual feast of splendour and authority, essentially asserting that man choose to follow him, or choose death.
But instead, God chose death first, overcame it, and now offers his hand gently, to follow him. God does want obedience, yes, like a father wants from his child, but he doesn't want to enslave us, or to force us. He cannot make us Love him, because that is not true love.
Read the Book properly, and you'll find that it is in fact a love story, with a hero, fighting for us.
The facts are that historians are unanimous. There was a man named Jesus, and he lived, and died, under the rule of Pontias Pilate.
The bone of contention is whether or not he rose again. If he did not, then the entire Christian faith is based on a lie. In fact it would then mean that Jesus lied, since he said he would rise again, as it is written in Mark 10:34, Luke 9:22 and Matt 16:21.
In fact, the majority of sceptics who studied history and the Bible, to search for evidence, came out of it a Christian. It could be claimed that the ones who were not converted, were never sceptics to begin with, but were rather cynics who presented no evidence to back up their claims that the Bible Story is false. Bertrand Russell admits his take on Jesus was, and I quote 'not concerned with historical facts'. Even outspoken critic Friedrich Nietzsche referred to Jesus as 'the only one true Christian' – whilst the Hindu religious leader Dayanand Saraswati made the wildly ridiculous claim that Jesus is 'a hot-tempered person destitute of knowledge and who behaved like a wild savage' – which he said without producing any evidence.
So what we have, is historical evidence, and specifically a first generation of martyrs, who either saw what they claimed to see, or they were lying. All of them could choose to end their suffering, instead they chose to die for their belief.
Understand… this is not one man's testimony, this is the core testimony of Twelve men. Or shall I say thirteen, for after Judas Iscariot killed himself, the Apostles elected Matthias to replace him, and thence there was Apostle Paul. Both of these men died for their faith. So there was twelve apostles who died for their testimony of Jesus. Only Apostle John lived to be an old man, though he endured torture and beatings in his life time. Thus they fulfill Revelations 21:14, where John writes about the names of the Twelve on the twelve foundations of the New Jerusalem.
So what does all this have to do with an Invisible God? Simple. These are the signs, the evidence of things unseen. The 'knowns'. Are we to suppose that what we see with our human eyes are all that is there? Let us think about that for a moment. We are claiming that all that our human eyes can see, is the extent of existence. And we do not even know how the human eye works. That is to say we don't even fully understand the mechanism that allows us to perceive the world around us, and yet we have the audacity to claim "This is all there is".
Primitive men, or people of older times, in rural places, believed in a spiritual realm. It was part of them. Yet modern man has sought to eliminate this aspect of life. Secularism has sought it educate spirituality out of us, to show that it was simply a reflection of the primal uneducated thought patterns. This of course makes the false assumption that you cannot have both spirituality and intellect. And yet, intellects have failed to tear down the Bible. Whether you are an intellect or a simple man, the battle is always in the mind. This is why it is written in Luke 24:45 – "Then he opened their minds so they could understand the scriptures.
Our physical bodies are visible, yet that which comprises who we really are, our mannerisms, character, personality and thought patterns… these are all invisible. We live finite lives, yet what we are made of, mentally and spiritually, is not finite.
Stepping aside from Jesus Christ for a moment, we can reason that God being 'invisible' as we understand invisibility, is simply because our natural finite human eyes cannot perceive something as vast as a creator of the entire universe. Something so immense cannot fit into this world. Yet he 'inserted' himself into his creation a number of times in subtle ways. Moses beheld a burning bush, and as a result he had to wear a veil because his face was glowing due to the encounter he had. Every heavenly encounter in the Bible comes with the words 'DO NOT BE AFRAID'. Because we, as humans, have three principle fears," she held up three fingers which she lowered one at a time as she listed them "the unknown; that which we cannot understand; and lastly, the truth.
Spirituality, the supernatural... ticks off all three.
To believe in God, you need to have an open mind.
Class dismissed."

Sports Betting Money Management Secrets - 4 Tips
In a previous article I jokingly suggested I had put all my assets – my savings, the deeds to the farm, my kids' Trust fund, and the proceeds from selling one of my kidneys – on a horse at Newbury. I showed this was potentially financial suicide, and an extreme example of bad money management.
I wrote that more often than not a losing punter will find himself saddled with a bunch of bad betting habits. It is these bad habits that have gotten him, and his betting bank, to where his is now – the Poor House.
To arrive at a change in fortune, and to start making consistent profits, the losing punter has to be prepared to make changes to the way in which he bets. In the previous article we talked about the cornerstone supporting my own personal betting strategy, and that is finding value in every bet you make.
You will only ever make a profit from betting if you consistently back horses at prices too high when compared to their actual chance of winning. This is exactly how bookmakers have made their money for generations – they consistently lay horses at prices too low compared to the actual chance of the horse winning. When punters continue to take these low prices day-in and day-out, it will only ever be the bookmakers who come out with a profit in the long run.
The second 'bad habit' I want to examine is the subject of inappropriate staking. What do I mean by staking that is not appropriate? Well, what I am driving at is placing bets that are generally too large in proportion to the size of your betting bank.
Before I expand upon this, the concept of a betting bank is a side-issue in itself. You categorically MUST have a sum of money put aside for the sole purpose of betting. It scares me rigid when I hear of people simply 'dipping' into their current account to place a bet using their debit card.
If you do not have a separate account for your betting activities, you cannot keep records, and you will not be able to answer that simple question, "Am I making a profit, or a loss?"
It goes without saying, that betting involves a degree of risk, and you should never bet with money you cannot afford to lose.
Getting back to inappropriate staking, the idea of lumping all your money on one horse is an extreme example of over-staking. Of course, on the one occasion this strategy may pay off. We had friends round a few nights ago to play one of those Race Night DVDs. I was comfortably in front by studying the form before each race, and placing considered bets at what I considered to be value prices. As you might imagine, I had a suitably smug expression on my face as we came to the last race, and our friends were complaining I enjoyed a 'professional advantage'.
My wife then decided to put every penny she had left on an 8/1 chance. The race turned out to be the 'lucky last' for my wife, and she walked away with the whole bank!
But seriously, continue with these tactics, and it will not be long before you lose everything.
Personally, I would never consider starting any betting campaign with a bankroll of less than 100 points. In other words, I will divide my bank by 100 to arrive at my unit stake. You can see that I will only ever be putting 1% of my bank at risk when I place a bet.
This is a very generalised approach, and you might argue that a little more consideration should be given to a punter's typical strike rate. True, if someone has a strike rate of 50% then it is statistically highly unlikely that he will suffer a run of 100 losers to go bust. So, in this case you might be justified in operating a smaller bank. Bear in mind that when flipping a coin, it is by no means unusual to see 6 or 7 'heads' in succession, and losing runs in double figures do occur.
Erring on the side of caution, you could foresee two such losing runs occurring twice in close succession. In which case, I hope you can see that even when considering a system which such a high strike rate, having a bank of well over 20 points now seems very sensible.
With my own Redd Racing betting service, we enjoy what I would consider to be quite a healthy strike rate. However, we have experienced a negative swing of some 60 points during one particular month a couple years back. The account recovered to make a profit by the end of the month, but it underlined the importance of having a bankroll large enough to absorb the losing runs that EVERYBODY has to endure from time to time.
Indeed, it would probably be better advice if I suggested members of my service had a bankroll of 150 or even 200 points in reserve.
Yet I often receive emails asking me whether it is OK to deposit £100 with Betfair and start with unit stakes of £10.
Betting with stakes too high in proportion to your bank normally comes out of a desire to make money quickly. I think we are all guilty of getting overly greedy sometimes, and unwilling to think a little more long-term. People are inclined to set themselves unrealistic profit targets, given the size of their betting bankroll. Having a bank of £100 and expecting to be able to make £100 per month is not realistic. Get-rich-quick does not exist.
Akin to the Tortoise and Hare story, let me give you an example of where what might initially seem like a very moderate return, actually gives surprising results over time.
If you started with £100 in your betting bank, and increased this bank by just one-half of one per cent every day, after just 6 months your account would have a balance of £244 due to the compounding effect. You could more than double your investment in 6 months with this seemingly small daily profit return. Take that to your bank or building society and see if they can come anywhere near such a deal!
Hopefully this demonstrates how 'slowly but surely' wins the race.
To summarize, my advice would be to set your unit stakes at one per cent, or even one half of one per cent, of your total betting bank. By striking only value bets, and when the odds are in your favour, your betting bank will grow. As your bank grows, so you can naturally increase the size of your unit stake to make more profit – but your bets will still be in proportion to your bank.
In the next part of this Sensible Money Management series, I will look at more bad habits that suck money from the accounts of losing punters.

Do NOT use Editing as a way of avoiding the Releases System.
It has come to my attention that recently, people have been posting threads in this very forum as a method of avoiding the releases system. This is unacceptable; the releases system was put in for a reason and we expect you to use it. Editing can be used for early betas and for getting improvement suggestions, but not blatant releases of finished content.

Yes but with help of @Kukulcan , nice bonus
Hi! i hace finixhed the game with all banners and magics found but a dont know how to trigger the "face A" of the game once i have finished it. could you help me? i have tried every button and nothing happened...
Spoiler: ShowHideOpen face A with Winape and go to Menu File -> Drive A: -> Edit Disc (Check Show Sytem Files) and you'll see "a special file" to run
I've got a problem with running the game on real 6128 (CRTC2) and Zax Drive (Gotek with Flash Floppy) running from *DSK file.After starting the game i've got "MEMORY FULL IN 10" error.Well, tomorrow i will be changing CRCT to 1 (most new demos not working on 2), but i don't think it will help. Anyone had a similar problem?
I was wondering if there was a version on 3.5 (no flipping required), or that plays nice with the M4 WiFi? The game starts OK from the M4, but requires changing disk (side), which can't be done on the M4. I've written it out to disc, but then I get weird errors, either with the M4 ROM turned on (a weird "disk not inserted" error without a proper drive label, or "line too long" if M4 is turned off). I even tried extracting the discs to a folder, but that didn't work either (I can't remember the issue, but it didn't seem happy - I think it failed after selecting a character)I could play on an emulator, but there's something about playing on real hardware that feels right.
Well I explored all rooms in lower part of the map and there is only one field, I can fall down and loose health points there after few steps I have to walk into an stars field, which brings me "upstairs" again. How to proceed? Any idea?
What level?
Where are the beautiful graphics from the previous video?

What's Up for March 2012?
Be sure to mark your calendar for an amazing planetary view this month. Many planets continue to put on a show in the west and Venus prepares to transit the Sun. Track Comet Garradd with your backyard telescope and prepare for Sun-Earth Day on March 20th.
Jane Houston Jones: What's Up for March. View Mars at opposition and planet highlights galore.
Hello and welcome. I'm Jane Houston Jones at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
Not a week goes by this month when there isn't an amazing planetary view.
On March 3 Mars reaches opposition, when it's closest to Earth in its 2-year orbit.
This year Mars won't be very close, though.
At best, it will be 63 million miles or 112 million kilometers from Earth.
At each future opposition until 2018, Mars will be closer to Earth and will appear even more impressive.
Even though you'll need a telescope to see any markings -- like the north polar cap -- it's fun to imagine where NASA's Mars landers and rovers are.
The Phoenix lander site is not too far from the north pole, while the rovers Spirit and Opportunity are closer to the equator of Mars.
Rocket sounds.
Jones: NASA's Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover will land in Gale Crater in August.Rocket sounds.
Jones: On March 5 Mercury reaches its highest altitude in the sunset sky.
You'll easily see its phase through a telescope.
Have you been watching Jupiter and Venus, the two bright planets in the west?
On March 12 and 13 they meet and pass one another.
Venus is the brighter of the two, and through a telescope you can see its half-lit phase.
Use the moon as a guide to Mars on March 7 late in the evening.
And let the moon guide you to Saturn on the 10th and 11th.
At sunset on the 25th look for the moon near Jupiter.
On the 26th it's near Venus.
If you didn't catch Comet Garradd last month, don't worry. It's still putting on a great display this month.
Look between the Big and Little Dippers to see it through a telescope, even from your back yard in the city.
March 20 is Sun-Earth Day.
Many people around the world will celebrate it on or near the spring Equinox: March 19 or 20
with safe solar viewing parties, the only way you should ever look directly at the sun.
And there should be more safe solar viewing parties for the June 5 transit of Venus.
Lucky observers will see the planet Venus as it crosses the disc of the sun.
A great way to prepare yourself for this is to find a local astronomy club
or look for sky-watching events at your local museum.
You can check out amazing solar images, including sunspots, flares and storms on the sun
at NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory website.
And you can learn about all of NASA's missions to the solar system and beyond at w w w dot NASA dot gov.
That's all for this month. I'm Jane Houston Jones.

Create your dream squad of ninja recruited from the rich universe of Naruto. Inspired by the manga and anime this is the first Wireless game based on Naruto on PSP.
In Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes you will battle across eight interactive battle stages drawing from a pool of 20 playable characters, including Squad 7 - Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha. Additionally, using power-ups you can customise any character to your own style of play.
Fighting tails
From manga to anime, anime to videogame, Naruto's rise in popularity has been meteoric since its debut in the weekly Japanese magazine Shonen Jump in 1999. Since then the universe of this garish orange be-jump-suited, young ninja has exploded, garnering and delighting fans across the globe and Naruto's first chakra-charged outing on PSP is no exception.
Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes excels in providing an exceptional beat 'em up experience on PSP, which is in keeping with its rich background.
Two game modes dominate the action. Heroes Mode is based on the squad system of the Ninja Academy; a team of three ninjas such as Squad 7 comprised of Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha, do battle against opposing squads over a number of stages.
At each stage you choose the order in which your three characters will enter the melee. Your chosen combatant then fights until they're knocked out or all of your opponents are defeated. Each victory earns you a Health reward for that character, while failure means the next member of your team will enter the fray. A team bonus of both Health and Chakra is given at the completion of each stage.
Before combat begins at each stage you also have the option of using skills to enhance your squad members or hinder your opponents. Naruto can employ Sexy Jutsu to lower an opponent's attack twice, Sakura can recover a squad member's Chakra three times, and Sasuke is able to use Chidori once to lower an opponent's health.
These options add a layer of tactical consideration to the game. By picking the order in which your characters battle you're able to rest heroes on certain stages, while wise use of skills is crucial to overcoming the more difficult levels of Heroes Mode.
Characters can use Chakra to perform a range of specialist attacks from Naruto unleashing the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox demon to assault his opponent with a barrage of attacks, to Sakura channelling her inner rage to create a ghostly, giant reflection of herself that crushes her opponents between its ethereal palms.
Animation for all of these special attacks is beautiful; throughout the game the anime-like visuals are gorgeous and slickly animated, and make you feel like part of the show.
Promotion Test is the second prominent mode. In it you're set very specific tasks, such as to defeat your opponent in so many counts or win with full Chakra. Additionally, to access these tests of skill you must acquire different coloured scrolls from Heroes Mode or the traditional VS. battles. To partake in a Genin level test requires 12 of each scroll, while Chunin level requires 24 for instance. Success in these tests will take you from Academy ranking to the venerable position of Hokage.
A final touch allows you to customise characters with Power-Up points, which are earned after every battle. A character's Attack, defence, Speed, Chakra, Stamina and Weapon attacks can all be increased over time. This development is essential for tackling the tougher levels of Heroes Mode and the advanced Promotion Tests.
For fans, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes is a must, fitting perfectly into the ever-growing cannon of this manga and anime phenomenon. For anyone that likes a good beat 'em up on PlayStation, which also adds new dimensions to the traditional VS. format, then this is a sure contender.

Quality Saucepans
Le Creuset cookware is world renowned; in fact the name is basically synonymous with the pinnacle of quality, and Le Creuset saucepans certainly are no exception to this widely accepted rule.
Ask any accomplished gourmet and you will soon learn that the humble saucepan is the workhorse of the kitchen. Despite the misleading name, a saucepan is not merely for making sauces, it can be used to steam vegetables, heat soups, make pilafs and conjure up creamy mashed potatoes, to name but a few of its other capabilities.
Sorry no products found. Please search again
The trick is to find the saucepan that works for you. The easiest way to narrow down your options is to decide which shape best suits your needs.
The basic saucepan shapes include:
The Classic: This is the basic shape with straight sides, a round base and a flat bottom. This is an all-rounder which has various uses around the kitchen.
The Windsor: The Windsor has flared sides, a round base and a flat bottom which allows for more of the liquid to be exposed to the heat of the pan; therefore great for sauces, but not as versatile as the Classic.
The Saucier: Mainly used for the preparation of puddings, custards, rice dishes and rich sauces, the Saucier has a wide top, rounded bottom and shorter side for ready access to the liquid.
Whatever you preference, you should always ensure that the saucepan you choose feels good in your hands - not too heavy to handle, but substantial enough to take a beating. Cheaper saucepans are prone to denting, burning, warping and developing hot spots, which can greatly hamper your efforts in the kitchen. It is therefore recommended that you choose a quality product that will last.
Didn't find what you were looking for? Why not have a look around the site and view some of our other products, including Le Creuset Pans.
Stellar too have such a vast variety of ranges available. 1000 range with its bellied pot, or the 7000 with its sleekier look and draining lids. Both 18/10 mirror polished stainless steel with heavy hot forged bases for excellent cooking performance. Dishwasher safe and oven safe and fully suitable for cooking on induction.

Adult Protective Services (APS) are empowered by states and local communities to respond to reports and cases of vulnerable adult abuse, neglect, and self-neglect. While incorporating legal, medical, and mental health services, APS programs are part of the social services delivery system and incorporate principles and practices of the social work profession.

Alaska Natives represent less than 1% of the U.S. population but reside in more than 229 Native villages and account for 40% of federally recognized tribes. Most Alaska Native communities shared common Euro-American contact experiences: exposure to western religions, education, and disease. Historical trauma contributes to many of the social welfare problems Natives experience today: low educational attainment, unemployment, inadequate health care, substance abuse, and violence. Service delivery mechanisms, lack of cultural appropriateness, and isolation compound these pressing issues. Locally delivered social welfare services that take into account traditional Native worldviews, values, languages, and intergenerational relationships are effective in addressing many of these issues.

Prevention is a proactive science-based process that aims to strengthen existing protective factors and to diminish or eliminate other factors that put individuals, families, and communities at risk for substance abuse. Prevention is important because alcohol and drug abuse are a leading cause of morbidity, mortality, and health expenditures in the United States. Alcohol and other drug abuse is also associated with infectious diseases, chronic diseases, emergency room visits, newborn health problems, family violence, and auto fatalities. The comorbidity of drug and alcohol abuse with mental health disorders and HIV adds urgency to the development, evaluation, and implementation of comprehensive and effective prevention interventions. The social work profession plays a key role in substance abuse prevention, as it not only targets the use and abuse of alcohol and other drugs but also aims at reducing the related negative health and psychosocial outcomes and economic burden they produce on individuals and society at large.

Bioethics and biomedical ethics are defined. Common bioethical concepts, exemplary moral values, fundamental ethical principles, general ethical theories, and approaches to moral reasoning are reviewed. The scope of topics and issues, the nature of practice situations in bioethics, and social work roles on organizational bodies that monitor and respond to bioethical issues are summarized, as are trends in bioethics. Practice contexts, from beginning to end of life, are highlighted with biopsychosocial facts, ethical questions and issues, and implications for social work—a profession uniquely positioned in giving bioethics a social context.

This article proposes social equity as a paradigm to guide social work practice and education. "Cultural equity" encompasses the multiplicity of personal, social, and institutional locations that frame identities in therapeutic practice as well as the classroom by locating these complexities within a societal matrix that shapes relationships of power, privilege, and oppression. Foregoing cultural competency for a cultural equity framework requires both analysis and interruption of the "otherizing" process inherited through multicultural discourses and the legacies of colonization. Through the use of education for critical consciousness, accountability through transparency, community-learning circles, progressive coalition-building, and usage of action strategies, transformative potential is revealed across multiple sites, both local as well as global. Multiple illustrations for the coherent application of cultural equity in social work practice and education are offered.

Housing, especially homeownership and affordable housing, remains essential to the American Dream but also among our most challenging social issues, particularly given the collapse of the housing market in the early 21st century. Housing and affordable housing are inextricably linked to both our national economic crisis and our wavering social policies. Housing is both symptomatic of and a catalyst for overarching social and economic issues, such as poverty, economic and educational inequality, and racial disparities, and it remains an unmet need for a significant portion of our population, such as the elderly, disabled, victims of abuse, those aging out of child welfare, veterans, ex-offenders, and others who encounter unique difficulties and lack of supportive services and service coordination. Advancing comprehensive and coordinated housing policies and programs remains important for social work and in the struggle for decent and affordable housing for all.

Since the mid-1980s, managed care has been one approach used to address the economic crisis in the American health-care system. This entry overviews managed care from the perspective of policy, procedure, practice, and system. Specifically, emphasis is given to understanding the emergence and history of managed care, multiple definitions, how it works, and examples of managed care plans, key legislation, existing research, its future, and implications for social-work practitioners.

Throughout history, measuring outcomes has been a goal and priority in the human services. This entry chronicles the history of outcomes measurement in the human services in the United States and discusses present-day outcome measurement activities as well as trends and some of the key areas for outcomes measurement in several human service domains.

Racial disproportionality in out-of-school suspensions (suspensions) is a persistent, multi-level social justice and child well-being issue affecting not only youth, families, and schools but society as a whole. It is a complex, multiple-level social problem that will require an equally complex response. The design of effective remedies will require adequate understanding of the problem as well as the historical and sociocultural contexts in which it emerged and is perpetuated. Progressive educators have offered a number of alternatives to harsh and exclusionary discipline, but research is needed to examine their effectiveness, especially in reducing racial disproportionalities.
The 921 Earthquake in 1999 and Typhoon Morakot in 2009 both brought catastrophic damage to Taiwan. In the aftermath of these two disasters many nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and social workers collaborated with central and local governments to provide post-disaster relief and reconstruction services. Among these, the most important initiative was the launching of a system for providing post-disaster human services, including counseling, education, employment, social welfare, and health care.

Trauma literature has seen a paradigm shift from pathology to embracing positive trajectories. Posttraumatic growth (PTG), defined as a positive psychological change resulting from a struggle with traumatic or life-changing events, may occur in a variety of populations and events. This entry, therefore, aims to increase our understanding of PTG. The entry begins with the conceptualization of PTG, followed by a discussion of protective factor associations, measures, and psychometric priorities. Nuanced attention is given to global translations and cultural aspects. The entry then presents debates about the challenges, controversy, and biases, as well as an overview of the empirical literature. The entry concludes with PTG contributions for social-work practice and pedagogy, together with recommendations for future research.

Rural social work, the history of which stretches back more than a century, has been revitalized since the mid-1970s. The renewed interest in rural social work has led to an increase in scholarship on rural social work practice, much of which is a direct result of the efforts of the Rural Social Work Caucus and its annual National Institute on Social Work and Human Services in Rural Areas. Recent research endeavors have moved our understanding of the differences between rural and urban communities beyond the common definitions, which are limited to population and population density. We have also come to realize that there are many different types of rural communities, all of which have different characteristics, needs, etc. Specifically, the concept of rural is not monolithic. Rural practitioners and researchers have also reached a better understanding of the following: rural culture and lifestyles, the importance of approaching rural communities from a strengths perspective rather than a deficit or problem focus, and the challenges to rural practice presented by the characteristics that are common across rural communities (e.g., lack of anonymity, dual relationships). Not surprisingly, the increase in research on rural social work practice has been accompanied by an interest in preparing social workers for rural practice and growth in the number of graduate programs focused on such. The importance of these programs lies in the unique nature of the challenges faced by rural communities. For example, many rural communities are experiencing sharp population declines while at the same time seeing substantial increases in adults who are 65 years of age and older. Other common trends include: economic decline and subsequent increase in social issues; substantial issues with substance abuse, especially methamphetamine and opioids; lack of technology infrastructure; concerns related to the environment and/or conversation of natural resources; and lack of services for veterans. The key to successfully addressing these issues in rural communities is involvement from social workers who are prepared to practice in the rural context.

Social media are defined as applications and websites that allow users to share content, usually of their own making. Social media users include individuals and organizations across a broad range of social strata. Key social work organizations, such as the National Association of Social Workers and the Association of Social Work Boards, have begun noting the proliferation of social media usage in education and practice and have begun developing guidelines to govern their use. The American Academy of Social Work and Social Welfare, in their Grand Challenges of Social Work initiative, highlighted social media as an important area of growth for research and education. Despite the field's nascent enthusiasm, practical and ethical concerns persist. This article defines social media; discusses its usage in social work practice, research, and education; and discusses the ethical and practical considerations in each domain.

Vocational rehabilitation (VR) services, provided through a jointly funded state–federal rehabilitation system and available in each state, help people with disabilities prepare for, secure, and sustain employment. Since 1920, VR Programs have helped 10 million individuals with disabilities reach employment. Anyone with a mental or physical disability is eligible for VR services. While a range of services is provided, the services most consistent with VR goals are those, such as supported employment, that promote full integration into community life. Social workers are essential to community-based VR services; however, a challenge for the profession is to assume new roles to meet best practice vocational standards.

As we barrel towards the Niagara Falls of all fiscal cliffs, investors seem fairly certain that additional volatility is in store for the next few months. What is less clear, however, are the strategies that can be effective in insulating portfolios from a surge in uncertainty-related volatility over the next several weeks [see also Free Report: How To Pick The Right ETF Every Time].
Inspired by some of the thoughts put together by the folks at iShares, we outline five strategies below for reducing overall risk and volatility in your portfolio, as well as some specific ETF options for each approach.
- Low Volatility Stocks: This approach is perhaps stunningly obvious, but it's worth highlighting given the innovations in the ETF industry in recent months that make implementation easier than ever. For investors expecting a rise in volatility and significant downside risk, low volatility stocks represent a way to scale back overall risk while still keeping skin in the game (ie, keeping overall equity exposure the same). There are a number of low volatility ETFs out there now; the PowerShares S&P 500 Low Volatility Portfolio (SPLV, A+) is by far the most popular, but there are other options targeting developed and international markets outside the U.S [see our Low Volatility ETFdb Portfolio].
- Mega Cap Stocks: Another option for investors looking to scale back risk while maintaining their existing equity allocation is mega cap stocks. While these companies aren't immune to uncertainty and volatility, they tend to exhibit greater stability than smaller companies. Because they generally have established operations and significant cash balances, mega caps can be a way to reduce overall volatility. Again, there are a number of mega cap ETF options here; funds such as OEF and MGK tap the U.S. market, while FEZ, IOO, DGT, and ADRE focus on international mega cap stocks.
- Hedge Fund Strategies: The idea of a hedge fund strategy might seem contradictory to risk reduction, but that relates to misconceptions about what hedge fund replication really seeks to achieve. The goal is not a risk on, shoot-for-the stars approach, but rather an attempt to reduce overall volatility and achieve returns that exhibit low correlation to stocks and bonds. Comparing the overall volatility of a product like the IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Tracker ETF (QAI) to SPY, for example, illustrates this point quite effectively. There are a number of hedge fund ETFs that offer relatively low volatility, making this alternative strategy potentially very appealing now [see Cheapskate Hedge Fund ETFdb Portfolio].
- Precious Metals: The gold bugs may have their day yet; after slogging along for most of the year, precious metals prices have popped since the election. That could be a good indication that hard assets–specifically gold and silver–will be the primary beneficiaries of any prolonged gridlock in Washington. There are a number of ETFs offering exposure to both gold and silver, as well as several broad-based precious metals funds.
- Cash: This represents the ultimate capital preservation approach–which isn't necessarily a bad tactic in the current environment. Converting to cash or cash equivalents obviously minimizes the upside–especially with rates near zero–but takes almost all the risk off the table along with it. Before rushing to put your money under the mattress, consider one of the several money market ETFs that offers modest yield opportunities.
Disclosure: No positions at time of writing.

The Philippe Starck Story
French designer Philippe Starck thought it his duty to invent, growing up under the direction of his aeronautic engineer father. His first major project, an inflatable house based on the concept of materiality, was introduced in 1969 at the Ecole Nissim de Camondo in Paris and eventually resulted in a job as Artistic Director at Pierre Cardin's publishing house.
Several years and several prototypes later, Starck was commissioned to work for President Francois Mitterrand in 1982, a job that launched him into his successful designing career with brands like Apple, Flos Lighting, Driade and Kartell.
Why We Love Philippe Starck
When Philippe Starck is asked to design an object, be it a lamp, chair, flyswatter or bidet, he doesn't think about its design. He begins by imagining a person using the object, and how the object will look, feel, move, sound, smell. "I make objects not for the objects, but for the results," says Starck. And his imagination knows no bounds. There are few areas of design he hasn't explored, from furniture to mail-order homes, and since it's easy to appreciate his creative range, it's hard not to be impressed.
Noteworthy Products from Philippe Starck
The Miss K Table Lamp was designed by Philippe Starck for Flos and is one of the most popular table lamps available at Lumens. Showing off his design range, Starck's iconic Alessi Juicy Salif Citrus Juicer was inspired by a plate of squid seasoned with lemon and became an instant collector's item after its first appearance in 1990.

McKinley Playground
McKinley Playground
This playground is named for William McKinley (1843-1901), the twenty-fifth President of the United States. He was born on January 29, 1843 in Niles, Ohio and attended Allegheny College in Meadville, Pennsylvania. At the outbreak of the Civil War, McKinley joined the 23rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and he rose from private to brevet major. After the war he attended law school in Albany, New York and practiced law in Ohio. He married Ida Stanton in 1871.
In 1876 McKinley was elected to the House of Representatives, where he served until 1891. As a Republican Congressman, he supported silver currency and was largely responsible for the McKinley Tariff Act of 1890, which raised or added duties to many imported goods and agricultural products. With the support of Cleveland businessman and political boss Marcus Hanna, he was elected governor of Ohio in 1891 and 1893. Hanna also supported McKinley's bids for the presidency. After McKinley lost the Republican nomination to incumbent President Benjamin Harrison in 1892, he came back to defeat Democratic nominee William Jennings Bryan in 1896 and was inaugurated on March 4, 1897.
During President McKinley's tenure, the U.S. adopted the highest tariff rate in its history and restored the gold standard. His administration was responsible for the Open-Door Policy, which promoted equal commercial and industrial rights for all foreign nations conducting business in China. On April 25, 1898 the president declared war against Spain to protect American interests in Cuba. With the conclusion of the war in December, the United States emerged as a world power, having annexed Puerto Rico, Guam, Hawaii, American Samoa, and the Philippines. Re-elected in 1900, President McKinley was shot by an anarchist in Buffalo, New York on September 6, 1901. He died on September 14, and vice-president Theodore Roosevelt succeeded to the presidency.
Four years later, a new public school building in the East Village was named in President McKinley's memory. P.S. 63 for girls opened on the north side of E. 3rd Street between First Avenue and Avenue A in 1905. Across the street are the First Houses, a group of former tenement buildings rebuilt by the New York City Housing Authority in 1935. The Housing Authority erected additional public housing in the area in the late 1950s and opened a playground for the use of residents and the public. In 1965 Parks undertook the reconstruction of the playground, which was ceded to the city for park purposes in 1966. The playground was later placed under the joint operation of Parks and the Board of Education.
In 1991 parents and staff members of P.S. 63 and the Neighborhood School joined forces to support the improvement and maintenance of McKinley Playground. Their efforts helped to secure the $365,000 capital reconstruction of McKinley Playground, funded by Council Member Kathryn Freed. The reconstruction project took place in 1997-98 and included the installation of new play equipment, game tables, painted games, drinking fountain, compass rosette, flagpole, safety surfacing, pavements, gates, and fences. The drainage and water supply systems were rebuilt, and a London Plane tree was planted on the grounds. The new spray shower is decorated with lily pads, and there are sculptures of a rabbit, a turtle, and two frogs.
