Section 7: Privacy
Personal Information
People trust the BBC and we must be transparent with them. We should make it clear to people how we intend to use their personal information even if it is simply an IP address, email address or a phone number. Personal information is collected, for example, when people visit our websites, enter competitions, register with an interactive community or become part of a database of contributors. We must handle personal data in accordance with the guidelines issued by Information Policy and Compliance.
Contributors' Details
Production departments often gather personal information about contributors and potential contributors via their websites before storing it in databases. This information should not normally be accessible to other departments outside the production area which has collected it. Any proposal to make an exception should be referred to Information Policy and Compliance (IPC).
Contributors' personal details, comments or other personal information should not normally be given to third parties without the consent of the contributor. If consent cannot be obtained, this should be referred to a senior editorial figure, or for independents to the commissioning editor, who may wish to consult Information Policy and Compliance. If we have consent, a contract should require the third party to use the information only for the use agreed between the contributor and the BBC.
Any proposal to collect personal information on a BBC publicly funded website which might be disclosed to third parties, including BBC Worldwide, must be referred to a senior editorial figure, or for independents to the commissioning editor, who may wish to consult Information Policy and Compliance and BBC Fair Trading.
(See Section 18 The Law: 18.11)
We should take particular care when collecting personal information from children. This may require verifiable 'parental consent'.
(See Section 9 Children and Young People as Contributors: 9.4.4 - 9.4.10)
(See Guidance: Interacting with Children and Young People Online)
Any request for a contributor's personal information from the police must be referred to Editorial Policy and Programme Legal Advice before responding.
Cookies record information about a user's preferences on their computers or other devices. When we place cookies on users' devices, we must be transparent with them about their options to accept or reject them. Further advice can be obtained from Information Policy and Compliance.
Where third parties supply programming code which contains cookies to the BBC, advice must be sought from IPC before the code may be used.
Sending Emails and Viral Marketing
We should not send emails to people unless they have agreed to receive them (i.e. we should not send 'spam').
If personal information is going to be used for promotion, marketing, research or any other secondary purpose, our users must "opt in". For example, we should not send promotional emails about our output when people have originally given us their email address in order to enter a competition.
However, in some instances, we may wish to offer audiences the opportunity to email BBC online content to a friend.
(See Section 18 The Law: 18.11)
When sending emails to a list of subscribers, we should take care to ensure that the email addresses of the subscribers are not visible to others on the list.
Viral marketing can be an effective way of promoting BBC content online, especially where this is by personal recommendation. But, particularly when running a marketing campaign, we should take care that:
- users have given their explicit consent to be sent marketing messages from the BBC or their agents
- marketeers working, or distributing BBC content, on interactive spaces (such as social networking sites, blogs or message boards) are not pretending to be ordinary members of the public. This should not prevent 'mystery content' from being distributed, provided there is a 'reveal' when its origins are made clear to those who have received it
- the content should be suitable for viral treatment, bearing in mind that we are very unlikely to be able to control who receives it once it has been released.
Missing People
The BBC may sometimes help to trace missing people by broadcasting details provided by relatives and friends. However, we should take editorial responsibility for the content of the message and be aware that not every missing person wishes to be found. It may be appropriate to hold back information the missing person might regard as private, embarrassing or distressing.

Pigou joins NoPigou club!
Since Greg Mankiw has no problem unilaterally enrolling people in his campaign to raise gasoline taxes—the Pigou Club—I hereby induct a new member into the NoPigou Club—Arthur C. Pigou. Pigou is widely credited with creating the concept of externalities, even though he never used the word himself. The standard statement on Pigou is that he argued that the existence of externalities was sufficient justification for government intervention.
Well, maybe he did at one point. But in 1954, five years before his death, Pigou seemed to have changed his mind. Here's the full citation on the subject.
Well, maybe he did at one point. But in 1954, five years before his death, Pigou seemed to have changed his mind. Here's the full citation on the subject.
When people decide to spend their money in certain ways it sometimes happens that their spending yields uncovenanted benefits or inflicts uncovenanted damage on other people whose gains or losses do not enter into the calculations of the spenders. There are many examples of this. The social costs involved in the supply of alcoholic drinks includes the provision of police to control the effects of excess, but these costs do not enter into the price that the purchasers of such drinks have to pay for them. Nor does the damage done to people living near smoking factories and the extra washing bills they have to pay enter into the price of the factory's products. If they did, as, with strict social accounting, they ought to do, the price of those products would be higher, less of them would be demanded and less resources devoted to making them. On the other hand, when a good landlord protects the amenities of the neighbourhood and erects a beautiful instead of an ugly house there is a benefit to others for which he gets no payment. These gaps, positive and negative, between private and public costs were not much in people's minds until fairly recently. Now everybody understands about them. It must be confessed, however, that we seldom know enough to decide in what fields and to what extent the State, on account of them could usefully interfere with individual freedom of choice. Moreover, even though economist were able to provide a perfect blueprint for beneficial State action, politicians are not philosopher kings and a blueprint might quickly yield place on their desks to the propaganda of competing pressure groups. "Fancy" finance, like a fancy franchise, whatever its theoretical attractions, has, at all events in a democracy, dim practical prospects.
From A. C. Pigou, "Some Aspects of the Welfare State," Diogenes 7:1-11 (Summer 1954), p. 10

Another year has gone by and once again you need to suffer through my babbling summary of the events that I feel have influenced Leigh and I the most. The big news this year obviously is Leigh's pregnancy (its not my pregnancy, I just facilitated the condition ), but I think you should know what Leigh has had to put up with since we found out the news. I realized that as soon as I am responsible for a being that would not survive if I didn't look after it, my time would no longer be mine, it would be baby's. So my mission this year was to mountain bike as much as I could. Two out of town trips (over a week each) and day trips to the mountains as much as four times a week took me out of the house more than I am sure Leigh liked. I knew that this was the last chance I had to pick up and go bike whenever I wanted. THANK YOU LEIGH for letting me do what I absolutely love to do!!
Leigh doesn't understand why I love to bike as much as I do, but every ride involves scenery like this and outcomes like the pedal bites on my legs (if you don't bleed it wasn't a good ride). In Squamish at the top of a legendary trail called Half Nelson there was this photo tacked to a tree:
It made me realize that only a few years ago I had this mindset (about having a baby, not about getting married... I love you Leigh!!). Now, however, I am ready. I am ready for this next adventure in our lives. Screaming, pooping, crying, more screaming, and that's just how Leigh is going to be! ;) I'm sure that it will be a rude awakening for both Leigh and I, as people who truly value their sleep, but I am sure we will manage.
So one thing that I wasn't prepared for was the amount of stuff that we would begin to accumulate. And not stuff that we were buying, stuff that people were just giving us! Like we were the salvation army or something. Every time Allison's husband comes over before going for a ride he brings something. Like every freaking time! :) I do really appreciate all the things that people have lent us, not only because it means we don't have to buy everything new, but also because I didn't know we needed all these things. Babies aren't like puppies. Puppies need food, a collar, a leach, and a ball. That's it. That is all that Harley needs. If those four things, along with Leigh and I, are in his life he is a happy dog. I have so much to learn and only 3 months to learn.
Teachers are notorious for being awful students. There is just something about being on the other side of the classroom that keeps us from being the students we love to teach. Instead we are the students we hate to teach. We are inattentive, we talk during lectures, we're cynical about the information we are receiving, and we HATE to participate in the lesson. So I'm pretty sure I'll be the worst parent-to-be at our prenatal class. Sorry Leigh, you might have to put up with scowls and sideways glances.
Enough about me, this is Leigh's birthday post, so lets talk about her. Leigh has been so great throughout this pregnancy. She doesn't really complain about anything. She doesn't nag me to get her things, or to do things for her, or blame me for "doing this to her". She has had to adjust what she does with her free time. Instead of marathon training and crossfit, Leigh has been baby training (yoga), going for walks, and working out at home. The one time in her life when she could shamelessly do nothing but lounge around the house and she is still taking Harley daily long walks.
Leigh doesn't let her pregnancy be a burden to her, but treats it like the beautiful present that will deliver to us the next chapter in our lives. I am so excited for our baby to come, and I cannot wait to see how wonderful of a mother Leigh will end up being.
I love you Leigh, Happy Birthday.

The Crones in town gathered on a hot evening at Rhonda's to look over on the river while chatting and noshing.
I had to bake for the Soup's On kitchen on Friday and go to spend about 5 hours helping to prepare and serve there. Then on Saturday it was time to make a dessert for the immersion baptism on Sunday. I did not make these cupcakes though they were lovely.
This is not a usual thing for an Anglican/Episcopalian church. We do infant baptisms or in church baptisms at the font in the abbey and then confirmation ceremonies later, usually in the teens but sometimes in mid-life. So when a middle-aged man who became a committed Christian a few years ago, decided he wanted to be re-baptized by immersion we had to do some thinking and opening of our brains so new Holy Spirit winds could drift through them.
The Bishop was all OK with the idea so we set up a day and went to the same lake above town that my grandkids catch all their fish in during May and June. There were a lot of tears and hugs and jubilation.
Afterwards, because we had all renewed our vows during his ceremony, the presiders started splashing water on all of us at the shore who were witnessing.
It was a joyous and frivolous moment that united us all some more as a family in Christ.
We participated in an outdoor Eucharist later

Help at Ground Zero (06/04/99)
The Help, The Help (Flipflop Discs 1999) - They call themselves the most original band in New York City, which is a heady claim. But The Help rings true. With their brooding, alt-rock, The Help lands near the college rock territory once occupied by 10,000 Maniacs
The band consists of Benita Green on acoustic guitar and vocals, Pete Brush on bass and vocals, Mark Caserta on electric guitar, Benny Snyder on drums, and Kenny Cifone on trumpet and flugelhorn.
Benita Green's vocals harkened to Margo Timmens of the Cowboy Junkies. Husky and languorous, driven and direct. In short, an original voice, full of confidence and uncertainty.
The Help is a damn good band. Listen for "Broken Bird," the heartbreak of "Valentine's Day," or the delicious trumpet intro to "Stu." Indie music is making a comeback, and we all need a little Help.
For more information, contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
Sam Phillips, Zero Zero Zero (Virgin 1999) - Critically-acclaimed artist Sam Phillips delivers an overview of her ten-year secular career with Zero Zero Zero. With fifteen tracks, of which half are new songs, remixes, or new versions, Sam points both forwards and backwards.
Sam began her recording career as the acclaimed Christian singer Leslie Phillips. Yet after several years on the Christian circuit, she turned toward secular music, including the acclaimed The Indescribable Wow (1988) and Cruel Inventions (1991). And Sam's Martinis and Bikinis (1994) is one of my favorite albums of the decade, as it blends incisive song-writing, smart lyrics, and a John Lennon sense of pop.
Sam's supporting cast includes producer/husband T Bone Burnett, drummer Jim Keltner, guitarist Marc Ribot, and song writer/performer Van Dyke Parks.
In discussing the album, Sam says, "It's a classification, a restatement of what I had hoped to say all along, now that I've got a bit more perspective. Zero Zero Zero is like a director's cut on my last four albums."
With songs like "Holding On to The Earth" (new version) and "Fighting With Fire" (remix), Sam shows her delicate struggle between faith, temptation, and love. And tracks like "I Need Love" and "Strawberry Road" are simply beautiful songs, whether termed pop or rock.
Yet the most lovely cut is "Flame" (remix), in which Sam challenges the line between life and lust, between healthy and obsessive: "Flame/Why do I come so close to you?/Flame/Telling me what I shouldn't do."
If Sarah McLachlan can be a star, so can Sam Phillips. Like the husband-and-wife recording teams of Suzanne Vega & Mitch Froom and Marti Jones & Don Dixon, Sam Phillips and T Bone Burnett are a potent pair. Look for Zero Zero Zero.
Collective Soul, Dosage (Atlantic 1999) - Good? You bet Collective Soul is good. Chalk up their four CDs as some of the best rock-and-roll from the 90s, with comparisons to the Beatles, ELO and the mighty Led Zeppelin.
Dosage marks the band's fourth album, and a return from the stark conditions that produced 1997's Disciplined Breakdown. With tracks like "Heavy" and "Dandy Life," Collective Soul solidify their position at the forefront of modern rock (unseating Pearl Jam in the process).
Collective Soul consists of leader Ed Roland (vocals, keyboards, and guitars), Ross Childress on lead guitar, brother Dean Roland on the rhythm guitars, Will Turpin on bass, and Shane Evans on drums and percussion. The same lineup has been in place for all four albums, beginning with 1994's Hints, Allegations, and Things Left Unsaid, which spawned the hit single, "Shine."
The new album builds on the collective sound of the group, with Ross Childress handling lead vocals on "Dandy Life" (the first time someone other than Ed Roland has recorded a lead vocal).
With a steady rock sound on tracks like "Show" and "Tremble for My Beloved," it's hard to find any flaws with Dosage. Ed Roland is a studio master, and his teaming with mixer Tom Lord-Alge is a perfect pairing.
One day, Collective Soul will have a monster hit, something in the vein of "Stairway to Heaven." And when they do, the catalog will be there. Dosage is must listening for the summer of 1999.
Mandy Barnett, I've Got a Right to Cry (Sire 1999) - Country singer Mandy Barnett may be just 24, but her roots are firmly tied to Nashville. Now with her second album, Mandy shows the continuing influences of this classic country sound, with production work from the undisputed dean of the Nashville sound, Owen Bradley.
A performer since age 13, Mandy played Patsy Cline in "Always . . . Patsy Cline" during the show's two-year run at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. I've Got a Right to Cry revels in a rich, nostalgic Nashville sound on tracks like "The Whispering Wind," "Give Myself a Party," and "I'm Gonna Change Everything."
Producer Owen Bradley was known for his work with such stars as Ernie Tubb, Brenda Lee, Loretta Lynn, Kitty Wells, and, of course, Patsy Cline. When Owen passed away four songs into the project, brother Harold Bradley stepped in to complete I've Got a Right to Cry.
Mandy has strong support from Sire record head honcho Seymour Stein (who signed Madonna, Seal, Barenaked Ladies and k. d. lang), who says, "I was spellbound. When given the opportunity to start up Sire as a stand-alone company, Mandy was the first artist I signed."
A distinct stylist with a lush voice in the style of big country belters, Mandy Barnett has a future.

Two short months before graduating high school, Kendall Jones' world is ripped apart at the seams. A stranger rescues her from a near brutal attack, but is unable to save her parents from death. Eight years later, Kendall moves to New York, hoping to put her past behind her, and once again finds herself in need of rescue.Tristan Price saves the life of a young woman, who then haunts his dreams for eight long years. When she literally falls at his feet, Tristan decides that he will protect her, no matter what the cost. When her past comes back to threaten her, his plan to keep her close could cost his heart. Can Tristan save Kendall a second time, and at what cost? Can the price of love overshadow the darkness of her past?
Our 4 Star Review
Kendall lost her parent to her crazed ex boyfriend who'd done horrible things to her. Now 8 years later she's got the opportunity of her journalism career to write about 5 hotel openings for billionaire CEO Tristan Price. The attraction they share though could jeopardize everything and then there's the secrets he's keeping.
Tristan has been keeping an eye on Kendall for 8 years since he saved her, she doesn't recognize him but with their sizzling attraction and the possibility of it becoming more make the secrets he keeps all the more brutal once she finds out.
As they travel the world for each new hotel their romance grows but threats of the past could ruin everything. What is the Price of Love?
Kendall went through some of the worst things possible at the hands of another now 10 years later she's strong and capable but closed off. Few can get close to her and no one has broken through the wall around her heart, until him. Tristan is a hard headed alpha male with good intentions, everything he's done has been for Kendall's protection. He just never expected to fall for her. I enjoyed seeing how these two came together even with the secrets and I loved how they were both willing to open their hearts. Great read with romance, suspense, and allot of crazy hot..... well you'll see. ;)
Cassy is a work at home mom where she spends her days surrounded by children running her in-home daycare. She loves to cook, read and spend her nights and weekends being a Les Mills group fitness instructor. She has been a lover of all things romance from a very early age. She hopes and dreams that everyone can receive their happy ever after. A good ol country girl at heart, she was born and raised in Arkansas and now resides in Charlottesville, Virginia with her husband and three young children.

Chicken or Egg
We've all heard this old chestnut: Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
We've also learned the importance of asking the right question instead of chasing red herrings.
I like what Alan Watts had to say in this regard: to paraphrase, maybe a chicken is an egg's way of making more eggs.

Bridges for the Bush program provides $500,000 for planning to replace Gee Gee Bridge
10 March 2015
Roads and Maritime Services is planning to replace the Gee Gee Bridge across the Wakool River on the Swan Hill to Deniliquin Road, 37 kilometres east of Swan Hill.
A spokesperson said Roads and Maritime provided $500,000 this year for planning under the Bridges for the Bush program.
"Wakool Shire Council, on behalf of Roads and Maritime, has started planning for a new bridge which will become a council asset once completed," the spokesperson said.
"This includes choosing a location for the new bridge, completing design work and carrying out environmental assessment. Planning for the new bridge should be finished by the end of this year.
"The project is part of the NSW Government's Bridges for the Bush program which aims to improve road freight productivity and improve safety and access for all road users.
"The new bridge will be a wider, two-lane concrete crossing to support expected future heavy vehicle traffic demands, including B doubles and farm machinery."
The spokesperson said as a separate activity, Roads and Maritime is working to get approval to demolish the existing State Heritage listed 1929 Dare type timber truss bridge. Removing the old bridge would happen after the new bridge was built.
"In the meantime, maintenance work will continue on the existing bridge to ensure it continues to service the local area."
"The existing bridge has a single traffic lane and vehicles give way to oncoming traffic. It has been identified for replacement under the Timber Truss Bridge Strategy, which was endorsed by the Heritage Council of NSW in August 2012.
"The route is a strategic freight route in NSW and is also an alternative freight route between Wagga Wagga and Swan Hill.
"Roads and Maritime will continue to inform and consult with community and stakeholders about this project."

Strategy: Involving Youth in Homeland Security
Youth are an enormous pool of energy, talent, and enthusiasm eager to contribute to society. In schools, neighborhoods, and . . .
Youth are an enormous pool of energy, talent, and enthusiasm eager to contribute to society. In schools, neighborhoods, and communities across the nation, many young people have made crime prevention a priority by finding ways to address safety issues, solve existing problems, and keep themselves from becoming victims of crime.
Young people can also help protect our nation by watching out and helping out right where they live and go to school through such programs as Neighborhood Watch, School Watch, and others. Like adults, children and teens respond to acts of terrorism with feelings of anger, shock, fear, and helplessness. And like adults, they can feel empowered by working to protect themselves and their families, to reduce the impact an emergency has on their lives, and to deal with the chaos if an incident does occur.
The American Red Cross has developed a new curriculum, Facing Fear: Helping Young People Deal With Terrorism and Tragic Events, for use in the classroom. It consists of ageappropriate lessons and activities for K-12 grade levels and contains preparedness information addressing both natural disasters and human-caused tragedies, including war and terrorism.
Facing Fear in printed form is available from your local American Red Cross chapter. To find your chapter, visit www.redcross.org. Lessons and activity sheets can be downloaded from the website.
The First Responders Team at the North Cache 8/9 Center, a school for 8th and 9th grades located in Richmond, Utah, has been an integral part of the school's Emergency Disaster Response Plan for two years. As part of their Youth Crime Watch of America (YCWA) program, students on the team are trained by staff members (who have completed the Community Emergency Response Team training provided by FEMA) to help with evacuation drills, critical injury management, and other emergency procedures in the event of a disaster.
North Cache 8/9 Center conducts monthly evacuation and lockdown (shelter-in-place) drills for the entire school. During the drills, First Responders wear special vests and assist teachers by showing students where to go, acting as "runners" to aid communication, and assisting with traffic. When not involved with disaster preparedness, First Responders operate the anonymous crime reporting box and help with other crime prevention activities. The team is open to all students at the school, but children of law enforcement and fire fighters or students interested in those careers are especially recruited.

The past couple weeks I have been traveling and flying to various places like Denver, San Diego, and Atlanta.
I'm slowly realizing that my arsenal of computer accessories that make working while you travel easier drastically needs to be upgraded. When I travel I try and keep my load as light as possible, but even the lightest load means multiple devices accompanied by numerous sets of wires and cases.
I am one of those people that likes to find new places to purchase my computer items and after a little research I came across Super Warehouse. I was delighted to see that Super Warehouse carried Apple computers and products.
Super Warehouse carries numerous products that I use on a daily basis like the ipod shuffle and the iphone and the site offers free shipping on select orders, product specials, buying guides, and much more.
Searching around the site I found a variety of cases and ipod accessories for my Apple products and I can't wait to get home and order a few new items that will make my next trip more enjoyable.
Getting work done while you travel is never the easiest task, but setting yourself up with the best products is the first step. The next time you need anything computer related branch out from your regular stores and see if Super Warehouse can help.

text: Lumpman 0 Posted June 25, 2007 (January 07) First, I had 2 cystic acne growing near each other on the right side of my cheek. Then sometime in March or so, they came together and combined into one cyst (pus, blood, etc.) And as each month passes by, they became a "lump"? Hard tissue on the outside, but softer tissue on the inside based on feel alone. It's not liquidy soft as a regular cyst though. On some days, the "lump" is more swollen, but it's not soft, it still feels hard. There is no pain when I touch it. Has anyone has the same problem? What kind I do to make the lump go down since this is the only problem area I have left? I really don't want to use Accutane. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Releasing Your Heart From A Failed Relationship
How does one let go and move on from a painful, failed relationship? This is a regular question any psychic will receive from their clients.
It may be helpful to make a list of all of the negative attributes of the person your trying to get over, but when we look deeper, as psychic advisors, we often see a web of energy entanglement present between the caller and the person they are trying so hard to sever ties with. There is often so much more going on than simply the physical and emotional. Hence, the challenge to break free.
"I want to release him," says the client, almost pleadingly. Sometimes the caller can feel as if they are just about getting over the subject of their affection, and then… wham! A message, a media post, or sudden surge of longing surfaces to claw them back into wanting the relationship at any cost. This often reminds me of popular oldies like Engelbert Humperdinck's Please Release Me and Gladys Knight's Midnight Train To Georgia (I'd rather live in his world… than live without him in mine). Continue reading
Are You Experiencing Shared Emotions?
I have noticed that couples and friends tend to experience shared emotions. This entanglement can make two people feel this shared emotion more intensely.
I usually tell my clients. after I have looked into their situation, that it is striking how much they are sharing a particular emotion with their partner or friend. I don't usually know who begins the first thought, but as an illustration, I will cite an example:
Laura feels good about the relationship today. She and Mark had a great visit yesterday, and her spirits are up, but she is not picking up on how Mark really feels. In her mind, as she is feeling happy, Mark is feeling the same way, and she spends a day or two enjoying the good feelings. Continue reading

I made something this weekend for my mom and came to a sad realization... I don't have nearly enough pictures of me and my mom. And then when I asked my dad to look, he wasn't able to find many of us (5) kids and our mom either. She was always the one taking pictures or were just mean kids. Probably both... But I can definitely see how it happens. As a photographer myself I'm always behind the lens and it's usually shawn and the boys, or just the boys... Not many of me and my babies either. #gottachangethat!
So, before I show you the project I made for my mom, and the two cards, I just want to say how much I love my mom! She has been married to my dad for over 45 years, raised 5 kids and her 12th and 13th grand babies are on the way. She's been a seamstress, daycare lady, church secretary, stampin up demo, and Sunday school teacher. The house always smells yummy, she gives the best hugs and (only) she can kick my butt at boggle. We've had our fights and our laughs but I never thought I'd see her as a best friend until I moved away in the military and realized all she's done. Now that I am a mom myself, there is no one else I'd rather emulate than her. She's an amazing mom who always loves us, no matter if were a joy or the mean kids that have no pictures with her... Love you mom!!
(And as for my mother in law... Couldn't have picked a better one! You love God and your family and you truly are an amazing mom!)
So here is my project. (To be filled with pictures!) I'm planning on putting each of us 5 kids on each page, and then a baby picture on the inside pull out pocket. My dad sent me some but I didn't get them printed yet. (Erica Cerwin is where I got the idea..)
And here is the card I made my mom. I used one of my favorite sets - fifth avenue floral. It's been retired for a long time but I love it too much for it to collect dust. I usually don't do so much layering on the inside either, but I adore Teneale Williams' cards and all her layering/details... You can look her site up too. She is a great SU demo from Australia.
And here is my mother in laws card.Oh, and here's my gifts from my boys (and husband). :)

The prostate gland is an organ in the male reproductive system of mammals. The shape and structure of the gland differs from one another based on the species. The fluid secreted by the glad is called prostatic fluid and is a part of the semen. It is ejaculated out of the body along with spermatozoa and seminal vesicle fluid. The gland plays an important role in the ejaculation of the semen from the body. Maintaining good prostate health is necessary to have problem free life.
One of the major health problems that affect the male population is prostate cancer that can prove to be fatal. Age is one of the risk factors of prostate cancer. Understanding the prostate health facts can help people in being aware of the diseases caused and methods followed for precaution. The main condition affecting the prostate glands is cancer. Following healthy and nutritious diet can help in reducing the risks of contracting prostate cancer. Natural food products promote healthy maintenance of the prostate glands. Avoiding fat rich diet can help in keeping the body healthy and fit.
Maintaining a healthy prostate gland
A person affected with prostate gland problems can face several problems in their health condition. Frequent need to urinate is one of the common symptoms experienced by people suffering from prostate gland issues. Pain in the abdominal and groin area is another symptom of infected prostate. The prostate health supplement can be taken to maintain a healthy gland. It helps in coping with the hormonal changes that happen in the body due to age in men. Physical activity has shown positive results in decreasing the risk factor of contracting the diseases related to the prostate gland. Exercise helps in regulating the metabolic rate of the body and increases the immunity level. The prostate health supplement contains vitamins and minerals that are necessary to maintain a healthy gland. The supplements have to be used on a regular basis to show desired results. Some of the ingredients used to make the supplements are vitamin E, vitamin D, selenium, zinc, saw palmetto, lycopene etc. Most of these ingredients contain antioxidant properties that help to maintain good immunity level.

Junk Hauling Franchise Hits 33rd Straight Month of Same-Unit Sales Growth
The Fast-Growing College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving Franchise Has Seen a Steady Increase in Average Franchise Revenue
TAMPA, FL - (Marketwired - Aug 26, 2014) - College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving is on a hot streak, with 33 straight months of average same-unit sales growth. The sales growth continues a long trend for the junk removal franchise, which saw its average franchise revenue climb 42.6% from 2011 to 2013.
"Tens of millions of Americans move every year, and when they move, they often need junk hauling, too. Since we offer junk hauling and moving, our franchisees have a lot of opportunities to serve customers," said co-founder and President Nick Friedman. "Our franchise has been able to grow rapidly by grabbing market share. We do it by taking the stress out of moving and replacing it with a fun, friendly and professional experience."
For such a young franchise, College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving has built an impressive brand. The company has been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show, ABC's Shark Tank, HGTV's House Hunters, AMC's The Pitch and Fox Business, as well as in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, USA Today, The Huffington Post, Forbes, Inc. and more. Part of the attraction comes from the franchise's catchy name, but that "sticks-in-your-brain" name is complemented by an award-winning marketing plan that has helped franchisees quickly establish themselves in their communities.
Franchisees have room to grow. The brand is young -- the flagship operation in Washington, D.C., got started in 2005, and College Hunks started offering its junk-hauling franchise in 2007. Seven years later, the brand has locations nationwide, and average revenue for the still-young franchise locations was $442,504 in 2013. The original business in D.C. illustrates the growth potential -- its revenue eclipsed $2.2 million in 2013, up $400,000 from the year before. Start-up costs range from $95,000 to $207,950.
The emerging growth of the franchise system creates opportunity for new franchisees, Friedman said: "Most of our franchise competitors are sold out or are offering very limited territory sizes. While we have doubled in size in the past two years, we still have prime territories available for now, so it's a great time to get started."

EARTH-FAULT indicator
Type EASI
The earth-fault indicator type EASI can be used in radial networks with one input and open-ring networks which are solidly earthed or low resistance-earthed. The special feature of the EASI is the indication of an earth-fault by one LED indicator and optionally one additional flag indicator (EASI-ER / EASI-R version). The additional flag increases daytime visibility. The connection between the earth-fault sensor and the display unit is done by cable. The sensor must be mounted on screened cables. The sensor is divisible and can be retrofitted on the cable. The display device is powered by an exchangeable lithium battery. Alternatively the display device can be connected to an auxiliary power supply.
The earth-fault indication provides two indication modes by LED:
Single blink per second: There has been an earth-fault current, but it is not present any more.
Double blink per second: The earth-fault current is still present or there is an asymmetrical current in the network.
The indicator is available in two versions:
– Type EASI-E / EASI-A with LED indication
– Type EASI-ER / EASI-R with LED and flag indication
The earth-fault indicator type EASI consists of:
– One display unit for displaying the earth-faults
– One sensor type SE for detecting the earth-faults

Notes on Potrero Hill Branch Library artwork , "here and past here"
The forms, structures, and materials used in the installation refer obliquely or directly to aspects of the natural & cultural history of the Potrero Hill area. The character of the community throughout much of the last century seems to have evolved out of the blue collar work force and labor unions that were prevalent here as a result of industrialization. But that is recent history, and I wanted to evoke something about the environment and people who may have been here before all of that. The stunning views of surrounding geography at the site are a reminder of the impact of environment on the inhabitants, and vice-versa.
The focal point of the installation is a form suggested by the California Buckeye (aesculus californica) seed pod. The buckeye was one of the dominant trees in the area and provided food and other resources to the Native Ohlone living in the area. The pod is constructed of a willow grid, partially thatched with tule (scirpus californicus). This is a direct reference to Ohlone house construction. I was also very keen on conveying something about the layered nature of the place and it's history, hence the only partially thatched contour of the pod, revealing its structure & interior.
The wire net-like piece hanging alongside the pod is another layer peeling off the pod. It is an abstracted version of a woven, utilitarian object such as a winnowing basket, made with a style of weaving that was also practiced by native people in the area. It is meant to look like charred bronze, however, an allusion to the industrialization and great fires that Potrero Hill endured in the last century.
The tule that forms the thatching on the pod turns into a handmade rope, another direct version of a utilitarian object routinely made by the Ohlone. It gradually increases in size and is transformed into a bulky sisal rope that threads through a steel torus at the ceiling. The rope represents an important factory located at the base of Potrero Hill in the early 20th Century, Tubbs Cordage Co. It is also meant to allude to the maritime industries which were so dominant on the waterfront. The scale of the rope is important – I was intent on including some element that expressed the large scale of the shipbuilding industries, which I found awesome. I hoped that the thick rope could get that across in a way that would not be overbearing in the context of the small library space.
I found the history of Potrero Hill fascinating. I was especially struck by the fact that the labor force who made this their home seemed to be consistently empowered and unified in their struggles with bosses & big businesses. I wondered why this was so, in view of the fact that the scale of the businesses at the waterfront seemed so huge. It occurred to me that the physicality of living on the Hill and looking down on the goings on must have given the residents a unique perspective – one that must have contributed to a sense of power.
For me, the steel torus represents the wheel & industry. It is partially rusted, indicating the inevitability of decay and the passage of time. It is formed by spiraling lines that have no beginning and no end.
The stem coming out of the top of the pod form is basically an aesthetic element tying everything together and, again, suggesting inexorable movement through time. The end of the stem is shaped like a megaphone, a nostalgic and ambiguous reference to the voice of the people.

Our pal Don Naylor (another Hipster Dad) is staying with us for the week while his ladies are back in New York as they await their new apartment to be ready (Movin' on up!!). So this morning he, Sierra and I ate breakfast together, played with dolls and then got ready for our days. Don went off to work and Sierra and I scooted to the bus stop. She loves riding her little scooter and it makes getting to the bus so much faster / less of a hassle.
Now this is where the day starts to go down hill. Once I arrived back home after dropping her off I throw my helmet and sunglasses on and jump on my bike to head to work. About one block later I realize my tire is flat. I don't have a working pump so I walk the bike back home and throw all my stuff from my bike bag to my regular work bag and check the next bus arrival time (hooray public transit!). Luckily one was arriving in 4 minutes so I quickly sprint out of the house and proceed to RUN for 3 blocks to the bus stop, only then realizing i left my regular non-sun glasses in my other bag. I'm practically blind without glasses so there's no way I could make it through the day without them. So I miss the bus and walk back home, cursing the whole way of course. I retrieve my things and check the next bus time which is in 30 minutes so I say fuck it and call an Uber. Worth every penny.
This shitty morning is exasperated by the fact my Vespa scooter also stopped starting two days ago for no apparent reason. So now my scooter and my bike are out of commission on the first nice weather week of the year here in Boston. Why do my vehicles all hate me? Anyway - it could be worse but I felt like having a mini-vent session. Hope everyone else's day is going better than mine!

Turkey banned YouTube on Thursday after the video-sharing website was used to spread damaging leaked audio files from a state security meeting that discussed possible military action in Syria.The recordings purport to show senior Turkish government, military and spy officials discussing plans to stage an armed clash in Syria or a missile attack that would serve as a pretext for a military response. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan -- already ensnared in a corruption scandal and hit by a series of street protests ahead of crucial local elections on Sunday -- angrily lashed out at his political opponents for leaking the recording. Thursday's YouTube leak is the first to focus on national security.TIB said it was responding to the government ruling by blocking YouTube on the grounds of a "primary threat against national security," private NTV television reported.

I wonder what camera was used? The video has a eerie look, faded and slightly blurry, as though somebody found a 30 year old Super-8 film cartridge in their attic.

Summer is on its way out (insert sad face here!) But I find this the best time of year to start getting my butt into gear with my workouts. I slack off during the hot summer months and spend time vacationing instead of getting in a bike ride or yoga workout. When Fall comes each year, I hunker down and start getting more into the routine of working out most days of the week.
Like me, probably many of you don't give much thought to properly fueling the body for optimal performance. Hey, I'm usually just trying to decide on which workout I want to do that day- a grueling weight-lifting routine or a sweaty, heart-pumping cardio routine?!
Filling the body with the right fuel can help improve the workout performance of anyone who wants a good workout or to perform optimally while playing sports.
While overlooking pre-workout nutrition is easy to do, it may come at a cost in performance. Taking the time to fuel your body the right way will help lead to optimal performance for both adults and young athletes alike.
"We wouldn't jump into the car to take off for a drive without making sure it was properly fueled with gas and oil, and it's the same concept for the human body," explains Coach Sarah Walls, personal trainer and owner of SAPT Strength & Performance Training, Inc., who is also the strength and conditioning coach for the WNBA's Washington Mystics. "In order to get the best performance from our bodies, we have to be properly fueled, which comes from eating and drinking the right things."
According to the National Institutes of Health, nutrition can enhance athletic performance and provide you with the energy to enjoy physical activity. They also report that you are more likely to be tired and perform poorly during sports when you don't get enough proper nutrition. They note that the amount of fuel needed is going to vary by person, the type of activity they are engaging in, and how long they are doing the exercise.
Getting the right foods before a workout can make a big difference in overall performance. After all, the body simply cannot perform at an optimal level if the fuel to do so isn't accessible. The body uses glycogen when exercising, which is carbohydrates that are stored in the muscles. When the body has used up the carbohydrates that were readily available and has depleted the storage of them, maintaining performance becomes difficult. Many endurance athletes who are not properly fueled can experience this, known as "hitting the wall."
Here are Coach Walls' 5 tips for being properly fueled for working out, which will help your body have a better performance:
Know your body. Get to know how your body tolerates food before exercise. That way you can calculate how far in advance you need to fuel up. Ideally, you want to fuel your body 1-3 hours before exercise, so that it has the fuel it needs to perform, but isn't focused on digesting as you are trying to engage in activity. This will help you avoid discomfort. [Read more…]

Why List Case Study Houses? – LA Times
Ten Case Study houses from Los Angeles, Ventura and San Diego were listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Los Angeles Conservancy announced last week. The listing includes homes designed by household names of California modernism, such as Charles and Ray Eames, Richard Neutra and Pierre Koenig. All were part of the Case Study program organized by John Entenza, editor of Arts & Architecture magazine, in 1945. The L.A. Conservancy's Modern Committee spearheaded the National Register nomination. Adrian Scott Fine, the conservancy's director of advocacy, spoke with the LA Times about the importance of this national recognition, what it means for the historic houses and why an 11th home, Case Study House No. 23A, was deemed eligible to be listed but wasn't because of the owner's objection.

The Inspiring Story of Hamburg, NY – Better! Cities & Towns
An upstate New York village defied the Department of Transportation and created a human-scale Main Street that restored community to a downtrodden downtown. the New York DOT proposed 12-foot travel lanes — the same width as Interstate highways — and other design details that are standard for urban arterials all across the US. The village rejected the state's proposal and suggested an alternative. "Hamburg's Main Street was redesigned to slow vehicles, a technique known as traffic calming. Two lanes, instead of the three that had been planned, were built, and the lanes' width was shrunk from 12 feet — highway-size ribbons that invite drivers to go fast — to 10 feet. That created more room for trees; on-street parking, which is good for businesses; and "safety lanes," which provide room for drivers to open car doors safely and also serve as de facto bicycle lanes." Since the redesign, car accidents on the road of dropped by 66% and "business owners, inspired by the new road, spent a total of $7 million on 33 building projects."

"In 1976 Scott Jacobs and Valjean McLenighan decided to do a video documentary of life in Las Vegas, and the resultant 29-minute movie was made with the title The Las Vegas Tapes. To accomplish their goal they chose the simplest strategy imaginable—they simply went around with a video camera and asked people questions….There are no great revelations herein, merely a pungent documentation of Fremont Street before it became the "other" strip in Las Vegas, which today is dominated by Caesar's Palace and the Luxor and that huge neon Paris balloon."

This Week
A weekly round-up of my favorite preservation related stories from around the web and in the news. Click on the title of each story to jump through to the original article/blog post.
The Devil's Advocate Guide to National Register Listing – HistPres
A new and hilarious resource for persuading stubborn ant-National Register types that listing is no big deal! "Basically, National Register listing is supposed to be a no-strings-attached honor, and the simple act of accepting this honor doesn't compel you to do anything. In rare cases, there may be problems stemming from overlapping jurisdictions with state or local historical societies, or over-enthusiastic preservation groupies. Just do your homework, and except [sic] your honor, and everything will be fine."
Modern Ruins of Abandoned Detroit – TWC
With Detroit's bankruptcy in the news this week, TWC put together a beautiful (if you are into the whole ruin porn thing) slide show of Detroit's abandoned and deteriorating historic buildings.
Gateway Cities Don't Need a Silver Bullet – Boston Globe
Almost every year some silver bullet — a sports arena, a casino, a conference center — promises salvation and rebirth for legacy cities ( medium-sized metropolitan areas struggling with manufacturing decline and population loss are a never-ending project in many parts of the country). The truth is the silver-bullet syndrome can inhibit revitalization. A megaproject can become an important asset, but it is not a strategy for change in itself, unless it is integrated into larger schemes to make a meaningful contribution to the city's future. A more incremental approach built on collaboration and partnerships — combined with a fresh appreciation of existing assets (like having faith in dense, walkable downtowns ), beginning with the physical urban form of these cities — holds more promise for rebuilding. The author goes on to suggest a number of other ways to reinvent struggling cities including, "don't be afraid to demolish." Thoughts, anyone?
Unlike in the US, China does not have eminent domain laws that allow it to take the property of private citizens for public works. As a result, builders sometimes have to elaborately construct around the property of owners who refused to sell, creating unbelievable islands of history in a sea of progress called "nail houses." Click through for a gallery of this phenomena. You have to see it to believe it!
Promise of Streetcar Driving Occupancy Rates in Cincinnati – UrbanCincy
Just as street car stops spurred commercial and residential development in 19th century, the promise of a new streetcar line in Cincinnati is driving occupancy rates in formerly (nearly) empty commercial buildings.

Cameron plans dive
Moviemaker JAMES CAMERON has big plans for the New Year (10) - he's aiming to break a world record with a deep-sea dive.
The director is currently readying to release new sci-fi epic Avatar, which has made history as one of the most expensive films ever made, but he's already got his sights set on another record for the deepest underwater descent.
He'll plunge 36,000 feet to the bottom of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean - and the multi-talented Titanic filmmaker is helping to construct the craft he'll travel in.
He says, "We are building a vehicle to do the dive. It's about half-completed in Australia."

Bellshill boxer Paul Brannen is looking forward to fighting abroad for the first time later this month.
Brannen has fought four times as a semi-professional on the Fight Club cards at the Alona Hotel, but leaves behind the backing of a home crowd to head to Malta on January 30.
He moves up from 60kg to 63kg to take on local fighter Keith Azzopardi with the EBF International belt up for grabs as he tries to put himself in contention for a British title shot.
Brannen, who trains at Fighting Scots Gym in Mossend, said: "This will be my first time fighting abroad and I'm looking forward to the experience, even as an amateur the furthest I got was England.
"It will be a bit different not having the crowd behind me, but I'm ready for it and I just have to focus on the job in hand as I look to get myself in position for a crack at the British title."
Brannen has watched footage of the former kickboxer and believes he knows how to beat Azzorpardi.
He said: "I have seen some clips and he's a pretty decent fighter, but I have spotted some mistakes he makes and will be aiming to take advantage of them.
"In previous fights I have generally relied on technique to win, but moving up in weight means I am feeling much stronger.
"I am adding more power to my punches and will aim to use that power effectively, but I've no worries about taking whatever he dishes out in return."
While most were indulging over the Christmas period Brannen never let up from his training regime, showing his commitment to the sport.
He said: "Although I probably didn't have to watch my weight I made sure to stay focused over the Christmas and New Year period. It was tough, but to do this properly sacrifices have to be made.
"I returned to the ring for the first time in seven years back in June and I'm enjoying it so much I regret ever having stopped. I have been given a second chance and as the only member of Fighting Scots going over to Malta this month the limelight is on me and I don't want to blow it."
Fighting Scots head coach Frank Gilluley has been very impressed with the progress Brannen has made.
He said: "Paul has been involved in some great fights since he returned to the sport and is working very hard to continue to get better.
"His strength and power are improving to match his technique and I have no doubt he'll be successful in Malta and then go on to be a British champion."

I like to rehearse conversations that I may or may not have with people I may or may not meet.
Example 1 (non-fiction): Over the weekend I had to go into lots of different local business and ask for donations. I practiced over and over again what I would say and how I would say it. If I don't practice in such a manner, I bumble and fumble and feel like I am five years old.
Example 2 (fiction): I practice my Academy Award acceptance speech. Christian Bale is always there and I always tell the story about how I used to pray that one day he would be my husband.
I have practiced probable and improbable conversations and interactions my whole life. My parents can attest to the fact that most of this happened when I was in the shower. I would have long in-depth conversations with myself about scenarios that could possibly come up throughout the day.
While this may seem odd to many of you, it is absolutely necessary for me. You see, even when I practice conversations I still manage to have awkward encounters with most people I come in contact with. Going back to "example 1" I manged to call myself the wrong name when I picked up a donation from Georgetown Cupcake. Of course, they couldn't find the donation because I had given them the wrong name. So, instead of trying to correct it, I shoved my iPhone in the woman's face and said, "You. Read. Words. Here. Get. Card. Now."
This is not the first time I have called myself by the wrong name. Just a few years ago, I introduced myself to someone and said my name was Elliot. That alone was bizarre enough but it became even more awkward when he excitedly said, "Oh my gosh, my name is Elliot too! That is so crazy." Crazy, yes. Normally, I would have immediately excused myself. However, we were part of group spending an entire weekend together. So, I responded, "Oh, sorry, yeah, my name is actually Rebecca…or Sparky! but not Elliot." He slowly backed away. UGH! I still can't believe that happened.
I bring all of this up because at 31 years of age I still talk to myself in the shower and run through plays for the day. My husband will shout, "What? What's happening? Do you need something?" Nope. I'm just practicing being less awkward than I already am. What I'm super glad about is that my husband not only knows I am awkward/bizarre but kind of likes it.
I recently confessed to some friends that I practice my Oscar acceptance speech. Naturally, they asked, "What is it for?" And I told them I had not quite decided yet but I did know Christian Bale was going to be there and I will awkwardly call him Jack Kelly and ask to buy a pape. Fortunately, I've rehearsed that encounter for so many years it just can't possibly go wrong.
A little Newsies love

A calm and bashful Ryan Adams keeps it mellow at the Cedar
Ryan Adams / Cedar Cultural Center / June 18, 2007 Text by Andrea Myers | Photos by Daniel Corrigan
Ryan Adams and the Cardinals played a low-key set at the Cedar Cultural Center Monday night. At least, I think that was Ryan Adams. Unfortunately for those hoping to see the alt.country star live and in person, Adams requested that the Cedar's lights be kept painfully low, making it difficult to see his face or even where he was on the stage. Adams joked about the lighting throughout the set, peering out from behind his sunglasses and pretending to shoot at the barely-glowing spotlights above the stage.

On Friday, the 26th of September, the 5th years set off on the 18 mile journey from the school to the Nine Stones at Mount Leinster and Back! It was a tiring walk to say the least but great efforts were worth it as it was to raise money for a very good cause which was to send four 5th Years to travel as helpers on the Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes in May 2015. With a little bit of help from Mr. Hennessy the whole year group made it back to school in one piece!! A massive thanks our Dean of year, Ms. O'Connor and Mr. Hennessy,
Ms. O'Neill, Ms. Devlin, Ms. Wheeler and Ms. O'Dwyer for organising the trip, accompanying us and for making the walk a great experience overall!

|This is the view from near the church
|This is the church house on the west side of the church yard. It is likely that this was a hearse house or lych gate. The upper story is approached by external stairs and was originally a parish room or vestry.
|The Preaching Cross. This is a 15th Century relic and would have been used as the focus of open air sermons by travelling friars and other visiting preachers. Its carved octagonal shaft supports a box-like head with canopied figures.

Just about a week ago Daddy left for Angola for work. Now I know that may seem like an interesting fact but really it isn't. Just a normal occurrence for us. BUT although it is a normal occurrence for both mom and I, we try to give him a special home cooked meal before he leaves and for when he comes back.
Tuesday for us was very potato filled.
If you've been reading my blogs since I started, you may know that I was raised traveling. That I have lived in four continents now and that I love international cuisine. Well last Tuesday I craved for some of the cuisine I enjoyed when living in the Caribbean. Something everyone in my immediate family seems to love. So Tuesday was a bit of a Trinidadian Tuesday as the main creation was Aloo Pies. Aloo meaning potato in Hindi.
Although I made Aloo Pie, I also made twice baked potatoes for dinner. Told you it was a potato filled Tuesday!
So here I will give you both recipes, though the show stopper is definitely the Aloo Pie.
Ingredients for Aloo Pie:
- 4 russet potatoes, peeled and chopped into quarters
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 chili pepper, sliced and chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ cup fresh coriander, chopped
- ¼ cup (65g) Greek yoghurt
- 3 cups (384g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon canola oil
- ¾ cup (177g) water (more if needed) to knead dough
- ¼ cup (50ml) canola oil
Fill a large pot with salted water and boil the potatoes until able to be pierced with a fork (approx. 30 minutes).
Meanwhile as potatoes cook, in a medium sized bowl place flour, baking powder, and salt together and mix. Add canola oil and water and kneed into a dough. Once all is incorporated well, cover and let sit for a minimum of 20 minutes.
Once potatoes are cooked, drain and place back in pot. Mash until somewhat smooth, add Greek yoghurt to further smoothen. Mix with garlic, chili pepper, cumin, and fresh coriander until flavours are blended together well.
In a large frying pan, add ¼ cup canola oil and turn burner to medium heat. Make sure oil is not smoking, that will ensure that oil is too hot for dough.
Roll out dough into ping-pong sized balls and roll out into an oval shape. Place a teaspoon of potato mixture into the centre and close up. Using water coat the edges to confirm dough stays sealed while frying.
Place raw aloo pie into frying pan and cook until golden brown on all sides. Remove from pan and place on a plate covered with paper towel to remove excess grease.
Repeat again until all dough is used. Then enjoy!
I ended up making fourteen but I had to taste whether the dough was cooked well with a few (also sharing the cooked pieces with Austin), then when I knew there were proper cooked ones, I shared with Lizzie! Who I must say loved the potato filled fried goodness! Though who wouldn't?
Then for dinner some hours later I made some more potato goodness.
I pride myself for not being a meat and potatoes type of person, but I sorta was a potato person on Tuesday, I mean with all that starch? Dayum!
I actually found this twice baked potato while I was on Pinterest a few weeks ago. It looked fabulous so when mom brought up something to make for Daddy before he flew out I offered to make twice baked potatoes which she was interested in. Yay Pinterest.
I got the recipe from here, but I have to say as someone who has made a vegan buttermilk before – normal buttermilk is bloody disgusting! Both are equally gross, but what is better? Chunky REAL buttermilk or curdled vegan buttermilk? I'm pretty sure I'd take curdled stuff over chunky blobs of "milk" anyday!
- 4 russet potatoes
- 1 ½ cup (265g) broccoli florets
- 2 cups (200g) cauliflower, chopped
- ½ cup (50ml) buttermilk
- 1 Tablespoon chives, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup (100g) cheddar cheese, shredded
- Salt and pepper to taste
Pierce potatoes several times with a fork and place in microwave on potato settings until cooked thoroughly. (You can also bake for an hour at 425ᵒF (218ᵒC))
While potatoes are cooking in microwave or oven, in a large sauce pan add broccoli and cauliflower florets and some salted water and cover and cook vegetables until al dente, (about three minutes). Remove broccoli with a slotted spoon and allow to drain. Continue to cook cauliflower until soft (about an additional five minutes). Drain and set aside in a large bowl.
Preheat oven to 400ᵒF (204ᵒC). Remove potatoes from microwave (or oven) and allow to cool some. Cut in half length-wise and remove the potato from skins leaving 1 centimetre of potato near skin.
Place potato "meat" into bowl with cauliflower and mash with potato masher or hand mixer. Add buttermilk and salt to make as smooth as possible. Fold in cheddar cheese and chives.
Spoon in potato and cauliflower mixture into the potato shells and top with broccoli and remaining cheese and place back in oven (for about 5-10 minutes, or until cheese is melted)
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Although we ended up eating our dinner around like nine in the evening, it was a wonderful potato dish. Still not as good as the Aloo Pie, but it worked!
I can tell you that the following morning when dad was headed to the airport he ended up having an Aloo Pie for breakfast and then SMSed mom to say he won't be getting near his colleague anytime soon as there was enough garlic to kill off the vampires.
But you know what? It is all worth killing off vampires for Trinidadian cuisine!
Anyway, that was my Potato-Filled Tuesday! Hope you liked the recipes as much as we did.
Enjoy your meal!
