LAS VEGAS — Japan is about to join Europe in the debt crisis ranks, with the two regions offering the best opportunities for investors to bet against, hedge fund manager Kyle Bass said.
While the world's attention has been focused on sovereign debt issues in Greece and elsewhere, Japan will emerge as a problem area as well as the European developmentsaccelerate, Bass told attendees at the Skybridge Alternatives, or SALT, conference.
"Greece will circle the drain and be ungovernable in the next 30 to 60 days," said Bass, founder of Heyman Capital and famous for presciently shorting subprime mortgage bonds before the industry collapsed. "Japan is in the crosshairs of the market...I've never seen more mispriced optionality in my entire life."
The Bank of Japan, the nation's equivalent of the U.S. Federal Reserve, is effectively monetizing the national debt by buying up 50 trillion yen-worth of Japanese Government Bonds, commonly referred to as JGBs in the marketplace, Bass said.
There are a number of perils commonly associated with the strategy of a central bank trying to print its way out of a debt crisis, not the least of which is inflation and lack of confidence in stability of debt, though Bass did not mention specific threats.
However, he said it's easy to see a crisis coming.
"The fact of the matter is this is no longer an exercise in quantitative analysis," he said. "It's a question of when, not if."
An aging Japanese population and entitlement culture are primary factors contributing to the national debt problem. Bass used disgraced money manager Bernie Madoff to make a point.
"Madoff taught us something," Bass said. "You can make promises for a long time as long as you don't have to live up to them."
As for Europe, Bass rejected the notion that Greece can put together an orderly default of its debt.
"It won't be orderly and I think in the end they're going to have to wipe out the troika," he said, referring to the European Union, International Monetary Fund and European Central Bank, a group that has tried to stave off the debt crisis from spreading.
As for investment choices, Bass promises that "you can effectively hedge yourself from this systemic risk."
He likes mortgages, specifically committing one-third of his portfolio to nonagency loans, or those not underwritten by government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
He likes housingin general, believing that "concentric circles" are coming together on the industry and indicating a turnaround.

A recent review of parish boundaries carried out by East Dorset District Council has extended the boundary of West Parley to the north to include a large area of Parley Common and 7 properties at the end of Barrack Road. With no road connection to Ferndown these properties always "looked" to the south. To see the new map please click here.
This is the latest in a number of changes to the parish boundary over the last 170 years driven by the expansion of the south east of Dorset from a relatively unpopulated part of the County into an area of large towns and medium sized villages.
West Parley was once a very large parish that extended over 3400 acres including both West Parley and West Moors. In 1851 there were only some 290 residents reflecting the mainly agricultural nature of the area, little changed from the Middle Ages. Much of the area was unproductive heathland.
The parish was actually 2 virtually separate roughly rectangular portions of land only touching at a point north of Tricketts Cross but this was extended in 1886 by a further 500 acres to include an area east of West Moors up to the current A31. With this change the parish became coherent, but very narrow, stretching from 3 Legged Cross all the way south to the River Stour.
At this time there were few houses in West Parley itself, these being mainly along Christchurch Road and Church Lane with a few scattered farm buildings down narrow side lanes. West Moors was the largest settlement in the parish at some 190 residents out of a total of 336 for the whole parish. It also had its own railway station.
Rapid expansion of Ferndown in the 20th century, still part of a large Hampreston parish, and of West Moors, led to further boundary changes and West Parley parish was virtually halved in size in 1956 when large areas of land were transferred to Hampreston and to the newly created West Moors parish. In small compensation, a part of Poor Common and an area of Dudsbury were transferred from Hampreston parish. Hampreston parish changed its name to Ferndown Town in 1986.
The 1956 changes left West Parley parish with 1120 acres. For hundreds of years the eastern edge of Parley had been the ancient Dorset / Hampshire boundary but this changed in 1974 when Christchurch and Hurn moved into Dorset.

Spinach, Mushroom and Cottage Cheese Quiche for Easter Brunch
This Easter was especially important to our family because we were celebrating the birth of my nephew and the engagement of one of my cousins. Since our family was hosting the Easter brunch we had a lot of work to do in preparation for the arrival of all the guests which didn't leave me with a lot of time to make anything too finicky but I wasn't too worried since every family was bringing a dish or two… or five…
I wanted to prepare a Spring dish, something light with seasonal ingredients and easy to cook and serve. So I decided on a Spinach, Mushroom and Cottage Cheese Quiche. It's a dish I've made many times before but the twist is instead of featuring ricotta cheese I used a mix cottage cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese. I found that the cottage cheese added a layer of creaminess and the mozzarella cheese once baked held all the components of the quiche together. It was also lighter and not as dense and heavy as other quiches I've had before. The sauteed leeks added a subtle sweet and mild hint of garlic and onion flavor, letting the mushroom and spinach really shine. A pinch of cayenne pepper really gave it a nice kick too.
I didn't have time to make the pie crust from scratch so I opted for a store bought refrigerated pie crust (Pillsbury makes a damn good refrigerated pie crust. I blind baked the pie crust first, meaning that I partial baked the pie crust on its own before filling it. This prevents the pie crust from getting soggy once you pour the wet filling into the unbaked pie shell.
The preparation of all the vegetable ingredients is fast and easy. I sauteed the leeks, mushrooms, and spinach, set it aside and let it cool. While it cools, I made the egg, milk and cheese mixture. Folded the sauteed vegetables into the egg mixture, poured the spinach egg mixture into the pie crust, sprinkled with some more mozzarella cheese on top and baked for 40 minutes. It's fast in preparation and cook time, once you get it into the oven you don't have to worry about it, and it's also a great show off dish. It has a lot of flavor and looks like you slaved over it, and let's be honest here isn't having your family over a great time to show off a little bit? 😉
Spinach, Mushroom and Cottage Cheese Quiche
adapted from Bonbini
1 9 inch unbaked pie crust
1 tbsp canola oil
1/2 leek, sliced thin
1 cup button mushrooms, sliced thin
2 cups spinach, cooked, drained, chopped
1 cup whole milk
3 eggs
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 teasp salt
1/2 teasp freshly ground pepper
pinch of nutmeg
1/8 teasp cayenne pepper
For the pie crust: roll out pie crust into a quiche or tart dish. Press the edges into the grooves of the pan and cut off excess pie crust. Using a fork, lightly poke holes in the pie crust, do not pierce through. To keep the bottom from buffing and the sides from falling, line the crust with parchment paper and fill it with rice or beans. Blind bake the pie crust for 10 minutes at 400 degrees F.
For the quiche
1. Heat the pan over medium heat and add the oil and leeks and saute until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms, cook for about 3-4 minutes until soft but still having a bite. Then add the spinach, and season with salt and pepper. Take off the heat and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and the cottage cheese, season with salt and pepper and a pinch of nutmeg. Fold in the cooked vegetable mixture to the egg mixture.
3. Sprinkle some shredded mozzarella cheese over bottom of the crust, pour the spinach mushroom egg mixture into the pie shell. Sprinkle more shredded mozzarella cheese onto the top.
4. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until egg mixture has set. Let stand for another 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Your mission was to create a light spring dish using seasonal ingredients? You definitely succeeded! Well done!
I will have to try the cottage cheese tip.

|Correctional Nurse Gratitude for Correctional Officers on Thanksgiving
|By Lorry Schoenly, PhD, RN, CCHP-RN
|Published: 11/28/2016
This article was orgininally published on Corrections.com in November 2013.
I am a whiner – ask anyone who knows me. In fact, check out last year's post on this topic. But, that's why I love Thanksgiving – a season when I can re-center myself on all the blessings of life and the people who do so much with so little recognition. This Thanksgiving season I have been pondering the great contribution of correctional officers to both public safety and the personal safety of correctional nurses throughout the criminal justice system. I wish to share a great big THANK YOU To our correctional officer colleagues who keep us safe every workday. Here are my 5 reasons I am thankful for correctional officers:
REASON #1: They have our backs
Correctional officers protect us while we work. In a profession of escalating workplace violence, correctional nurses have a lot of protection – much more than counterparts in traditional settings. Nurse colleagues working in urban emergency units may be taking care of a patient population with a similar violence demographic, but they often have much less protection. Thank you for keeping us safe.
REASON #2: They are healthcare colleagues
That's right, correctional officers collaborate with correctional nurses about many health issues and are often the first to contact nurses about a medical or mental health situation. Housing unit officers know the lifestyles of their charges and initiate emergency action when a health situation is deteriorating. Thank you for working together with us toward a common goal.
REASON #3: They know the same professional stigma
Correctional nurses know 'that look' from a new acquaintance or fellow professional when they find out we work in a jail or prison. Although this is changing, there is still a stigma to working in the correctional setting. Colleagues can question your motivation, consider you unskilled enough for a 'real' nursing position, or think you have committed professional suicide by taking a position in our specialty. Correctional officers have that same stigma in the criminal justice system. Police, State Troopers, or the Feds sometimes stigmatize our correctional officer colleagues. We both struggle to take pride in our profession. Thank you for choosing to be a correctional officer!
REASON #4: They are invisible to the public
Many of our neighbors don't even know that nurses work in jails and prisons. I certainly didn't before I started in our specialty. The public would prefer to remain unaware of the thousands of people locked away in the criminal justice system. The invisible nature of incarceration hangs a long shadow over those who work behind bars as well. Thank you for keeping the public safe even when they do not want to know about it.
REASON #5: They are probably working this holiday, too
I know this sounds so naive, but I didn't realize I would be working holidays and weekends when I started my nursing training. It was a real eye-opener and a lifestyle changer. Like nurses, correctional officers pull duty 24/7 to keep us and the public safe. This is easy to forget when we sit down to our Thanksgiving bounty and the football games or parades that fill on our holiday schedule. Thank you for keeping us safe while we celebrate.
Will you join me in being thankful for our correctional officer colleagues? Share an experience or gratitude in the comment section of this post.
Lorry Schoenly is a PhD, RN, CCHP-RN. He is also a Correctional Healthcare Risk Consultant.
sheila.dickson on 12/04/2013:
I am a psychologist who works with Administration Segregation and death row inmates. My mental health supervisors and colleagues have educated me about the paperwork - what to use, how to fill it out and where to hand it in. Everything I know about staying safe and effective while providing mental health services to inmates has come from the Correctional Officers who work around me. They answer my questions, and if I don't think to ask the proper question, they provide the information anyway. They are the greatest, and I am grateful for them every shift that I work.

Fianna Fáil Spokesperson on Finance Michael McGrath TD has said that a greater number of sustainable long-term restructuring options need to be put in place in order to tackle the mortgage arrears problem.
Deputy McGrath made the comments following the publication of the Central Bank's mortgage arrears statistics for Quarter 4, 2016.
"There has been an overall reduction in the percentage of mortgages in arrears, and this is welcome. However, the pace of reduction has slowed in recent quarters underlining the enormous challenge of bringing arrears back to pre-recession levels. At the present rate of reduction, it will take another five years to reach pre-2008 arrears levels.
"The number of household mortgages in arrears over 720 days still remains stubbornly high at over 33,000 and for the second quarter in a row, the percentage of restructured mortgages re-defaulting has increased from 12.1% in mid-2016 to 13.1% by the end of the year.
"Perhaps the most alarming aspect of today's results is the number of mortgages owned by so-called 'vulture funds'. In excess of 12,000 family home mortgages, with a total value of €2.4 billion, are now owned and managed by unregulated 'vulture funds' with over half of these in arrears by more than 90 days. The Government must act urgently to treat these funds like any other lender and bring them fully within the ambit of regulation.
"Arrears Capitalisation, which results in mortgage holders paying more over the life of the loan, represents the highest proportion of restructurings. There is still a lack of sustainable options being made available to mortgage holders in arrears. For example, we do not see any debt for equity options being put in place. The Government has failed to ensure that the Mortgage-to-Rent scheme is used to the best possible extent with only 217 completed applications since the scheme was established," concluded McGrath.

The Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol said that Republicans should allow the Bush tax cuts to expire on the richest 2 percent Americans, during an appearance on Fox News Sunday, explaining that the GOP may not have the leverage to maintain the top rate at 35 percent.
The comment comes one week after Kristol called on the party to stop "falling on its sword to defend a bunch of millionaires" and just as Republicans may be signaling a willingness to increase rates as part of a balanced package to avoid the fiscal cliff. Kristol speculated that the Tea Party could support the change:
I just don't think Republicans have the leverage, or that it's worth using all their — whatever leverage they have, to maintain rates at 35 percent instead of 37 or 38, especially if you can take it up to millionaires. I just don't think it's economically as a matter of policy important enough. […] You know, a lot of the Tea Party guys don't care that much if a few millionaires pay a couple percent more in taxes, honestly.
He also predicted that policy makers would reach "a deal by December 31, and I believe Republicans will yield a bit on top rates." "I mean, President Obama ran twice on this platform and he won last I looked, both presidential elections," Kristol added. Election Day exit polls found that 60 percent of Americans support higher taxes for the wealthy.

On the Road
After weeks of chasing popular stripper, model and budding adult actor Jack, he's finally back in our clutches and finally giving his first official website solo. He'd been making a video the night before with an adult actress down on the west coast and seemed very surprised that she'd wanted to continue making love with him all night and again the next morning; apparently she loved the English footballer vibe he gives off. He was even more taken aback that the Spanish stunner had been so keen to eat out his backside. The startled lad told us: "She kept saying how tasty it was – I didn't know girls were into male arses so much..."
It's just as well Jack loves driving because that's all he seems to do all week. His work takes him all over the UK and his phone doesn't stop ringing. We also witnessed the down side of his work too as a gentleman who phoned to enquire whether Jack would cuckold him (fuck his wife) subsequently became abusive when Jack politlely explained that he wasn't able to chat for long to due to filming.
Jack liked the suite we provided so much that he decided to call up a girlfriend back home to come and join him after we left and he carried on making love to her for the rest of the night. Jack's life is by no means a conventional one but he is clearly lapping up all the attention.

I attended the Connect your City hackathon organized by Sigfox and the city of San Francisco. It was absolute fun.
What is Sigfox?
Sigfox is a European company that has installed low power wide area networks across several cities in Europe and San Francisco. Sigfox's radio network enables interfacing low power sensors to a network enabled by radio transceivers installed in San Francisco's public libraries.
This radio network enables transmitting a 12 byte message at a time and it is capped at 140 messages per day. This network is very useful in the case of interfacing sensors that do not provide real time updated. For example. sensors that report their status every hour or so, panic buttons that transmit emergency alerts to first responders etc.
The Hackathon
In the hackathon, teams were given the Texas Instruments Sigfox boosterpack, access to the Sigfox backend, assistance from Microsoft's Azure team and Plasma/Connect2me. The hackathon's objective was to build proof-of-concepts that would have a civic impact in the city of San Francisco.
My team's project
My team picked a project that enabled collecting information related to the number of people assembled in any room of a building. This information is transmitted to the Sigfox network in the event of an earthquake (detected by an accelerometer installed in the building) or whenever a panic button is pressed.
We also used a PIR sensor, temperature sensor and a force detecting sensor to simulate events like large pillar columns falling down, buildings catching fire etc. This information could be used by first responders to effectively deploy resources in an emergency.
We built two gadgets. I built one of them and is shown in the figure below. It includes a panic button, temperature sensor and a force detecting sensor.
My team mate Yingxian built another radio that gathered information from an accelerometer and a PIR sensor.
The radios transmitted the messages to the Sigfox radio network. The transmitted messages were supposed to be used for visualization in a web dashboard like the one shown below.
How does this gadget work?
The figure below provides a simple description of how these radios interact with the "cloud".
We got an unlimited evaluation license for our radios and our radios did not have any daily cap on the number of messages that could be transmitted to the network for development purposes.
The radios were very easy to use. They transmit any message received through the serial port. We used an Arduino Yun to interface our sensors. The Arduino Yun transmits the message to the radio via serial port. It also talks to a processor running linux on the Arduino Yun. Here is a short video of my project: It sends an emergency alert to the Sigfox network and plays an audio alert.
Here is another video where we simulated an earthquake. My teammate, Yingxian wrote the code to detect earthquake like movements to detect earthquake simulations using an accelerometer.
My team
I met my team mates at the hackathon and I am amazed by how we were able to get along with each other. Here is a pic of my team after the hackathon prizes were announced.
Who were the winners?
AudioArgus – A team that built a service that predicts faulty rotary/reciprocating equipment requiring service and alerts the city about it. I see this as a project that enforces behavior change using the Internet of Things.
Dry Water – A water sprinkler controller project that considers several weather factors to turn on/off a sprinkler. I see this one also a behavior change tool by building connected devices
There was also a bike project that enabled enhancement of bike rental experience. I am not sure that I am able to recall the project's theme correctly.
- The radio network's coverage spans between parts of San Bruno in the San Francisco Bay peninsula, Hayward in the eastern side of the Bay, parts of Marin County and Berkeley.
- The sketch used to transmit messages is available from here.
What next?
I had fun working on this project last weekend. This has motivated me to register for another smart city hackathon on December 5th. If you are interested in working on a similar project (not the same one) at that hackathon, you should write to me @ yamanoorsaiatgmaildotcom or ping me via twitter using the same handle.

Earn 2 Learn Fundraising: help students achieve their full potential
Earn 2 Learn is an exciting new initiative that is designed to assist motivated students to achieve their full potential.
It is an unfortunate reality that some students and families are not able to afford some of the equipment required to take their education to the next level. Equipment such as laptop computers, musical instruments, or quality sports gear, is expensive and all too often this will result in students being held back from developing their talents.
Here's how Earn 2 Learn works:
- Schools identify motivated students who could benefit from being part of the Earn 2 learn program
- The value of the equipment required is determined
- Interworld Fundraising supplies fundraising product to the school which in turn is sold by the individual student
- The profits from the sales of product (at $1 per sale) will accumulate till the target is reached
Schools traditionally undertake one or two large fundraising projects per year, and because of this the Earn 2 Learn initiative is well suited to operating during the rest of the school year. Schools partnering with Interworld Fundraising to implement "Earn 2 Learn" are selecting a number of suitable students and facilitating their fundraising as a group, thus making it easier to manage and maintain. In this way the Earn 2 Learn initiative operates in a similar fashion to any other Fundraising campaign that the School may work with Interworld Fundraising on during the year.
Earn 2 Learn benefits those motivated students who are prepared to invest the time and effort required to achieve their target. Each student learns very valuable skills in just being part of the program: Goal Setting, calculating the Profit required, Sales & Marketing skills, Money management, Stock management, and record keeping. For many students this may be the very first time they will have had to develop some of these skills, and for some it will be a learning experience that could change their lives.
Interworld Fundraising looks forward to working with more Schools through the Earn 2 Learn program, and is excited about positively impacting New Zealand kids, one student at a time.

Martin Barak makes what is likely the world's best rolled apple pastry
By Justin Smith
Many have said the best apple strudel in all of Europe lies not in Germany or Austria, but a tiny shop in Prague, Czech Republic.
Susta Strudl sells foot-long strudels (weighing about 1 pound each) for the whopping price of $2 (46 Koruna). That's right, a strudel the size of a Subway sandwich sells for the price of a stack of Post-It notes.
Located in the heart of the sometimes seedy, sometimes trendy Zizkov district, Susta Strudl shop's baked slices of golden apple delights can be savored at home or enjoyed on a bench in the nearby Parukarka park, wh
ich offers a stunning view of the terracotta roofs of the city.
It is a traditional recipe, which has been passed on in our family from generation to generation.
The shop's international reputation got a boost a decade ago when the U.S. Travel Channel host Samantha Brown toured Prague for her show "Passport to Europe" and said Susta made "the best hot apple strudel in all of Europe." Today people from around the world still take Brown's word and navigate their way to the apartment where Susta Strudl resides at the bottom, and place their order through a barred window reminiscent of a box office at the local theater. Instead of tickets, a strudel–apple, curd, or poppy seed–is slid through the window.
The man behind the window, Martin Barak, has remained a mystery to most who visit Susta Strudl and said he was uncomfortable and too busy to meet in person. By email, however, he was willing to discuss what makes his strudels special, the most famous people he's served, and whether
or not he eats his own strudel.
Where are you from?
I come from Prague's Strasnice district. [A district next to Zizkov where Susta Strudl operates].
Did your parents or grandparents make strudels? Where did the recipe come from?
The idea about this particular type of strudel doesn´t come from within my own family, but from the father of my wife. Strudlarna (a drawn-baked strudel shop) was established in 1993 and was long led by her father, Mr. Petr Susta (now in well-deserved retirement). The recipe comes from cooking books of my wife's grandmothers. It is a traditional recipe, which has been passed on in our family from generation to generation.
When did you start making strudels? Did you always think you would make strudels as a career?
I started baking strudels approximately seven years ago. This opportunity was offered to me by my father-in-law. I have never had any kind of experience with baking and never thought about making it my living in the past. I am therefore the continuation of this tradition.
Only tasty apples make strudel a real strudel.
What makes a strudel from Susta Strudl special?
A big part is handwork, starting with the preparation of the dough, over to making various fillings, to the pulling and twisting for what is known as drawn strudel (a strudel that requires the dough to be carefully thinned out by hand). Furthermore the freshness of the ingredients used is essential.
Where do you get your apples? Do you monitor their cultivation?
I choose and buy apples myself. I buy them from a certified supplier who gets them, for a prevailing part of the year, from Czech farmers. In the months of September and October I even have apples from the garden of my father-in-law, Mr. Susta. So one can say they are absolutely organic-quality apples. The color or shape of the apples I use is not important, but the taste and juiciness are essential. Only tasty apples make strudel a real strudel.
Do you ever try competitor's strudels?
Yes, I have; however like the majority of men, I prefer salty dishes.
What makes a good strudel?
The main thing is the freshness of the particular ingredients used, as well as the taste and processing of apples. I put the main emphasis on the processing in case of apple strudel. It is what, combined with cinnamon, gives the taste to the whole strudel. With the cottage cheese strudel, it is the kind of cottage cheese used that makes the difference. The cottage cheese needs to have enough dry mass content. For poppy strudel I only use Czech poppy and high-quality plum jam.
Has anyone ever tried to steal your recipe? If so, how, and what happened?
No, nobody has ever tried. The recipe for drawn-baked dough is in every cookbook. The processing of the dough is nevertheless very difficult, so not many people do it.
I also have to buy ingredients for strudels in my free time.
Who's the most famous person that you served strudel to?
Lots of publicly known personalities come here to get our strudel. These are some people that came to buy strudels from me: Yvonne Prenosilova (Czech singer known as a pioneer of Czech Rhythm and Blues), Jiri Labus (Czech actor who gave his voice to Marge Simpson in the Czech adaptation of The Simpsons), Gabriela Vranova (Czech actress and theater teacher), Paul van Dyk (German Grammy-winning electronic music DJ, musician and record producer), and Tatiana Vilhelmova (Czech film and theater actress).
Did you ever get an order from abroad?
Yes, I have. Lots of foreign tourists, who happen to hear about this out-of-the-way Strudl shop, want to try it out. Majority of them come to taste some kind of our strudel and there are also those who take them back home with them.
Have you thought about trying to expand your business to more locations with more kinds of strudel?
We ponder the question more often these days at home with my wife, that it would be good to extend our shop into more localities. While thinking about it, especially when there would be a need to accept some new employees, we are most afraid to keep the same quality that our customers are used to. During plum season, we make plum strudel (from fresh plums only) and we continue to work on a new kind of strudel, this time a salty one.
What do you think about people saying you have the best strudel in Prague, or even Europe?
I am very glad that people like our strudels. It is a kind of satisfaction for doing this, sometimes very laborious hand work.
About how many strudels do you sell a week?
In our shop, strudel is always fresh, in an ideal case warm, just taken out of the oven. We bake the whole day, depending on how the people come in. It is very individual.
Describe the process of making one of your strudels, how long does it take?
The process of making strudel begins with the preparation of the filling. I make all fillings myself, starting with the processing of apples, to cottage cheese or poppy filling mixing. This takes probably the longest. Then the dough needs to be made. The dough for drawn-baked strudel needs to have absolutely precise consistency. If it is too thin, it will be runny while spreading over the board and nothing can be made of it. In the opposite case, the dough is too tough and cannot be spread over the board. The correct way to make the dough is a kind of alchemy in drawn-baked strudel making. I then follow by dividing the dough to pieces, which I roll out to flat cakes. These flat cakes are then pulled by hand to the length of approximately two meters (6.5 feet). Then I put in the already prepared filling and with it inside, the strudel is wrapped up. In a well-drawn strudel, there should not be any dough visible when the cut is made. The whole time from wrapping up to baking is approximately 40 minutes, not including the time to prepare the filling and the dough itself.
How is Austrian strudel different than Czech strudel?
I've personally never eaten Austrian strudel. The recipe and the process of making the strudel is nevertheless the same.
What do you do when you're not at Susta Strudl?
I spend most of my free time doing sports. I also like to sit for a beer with my friends or go to a concert from time to time. I also have to buy ingredients for strudels in my free time.
What are your hopes for the future? Will you pass on the Susta Strudl to anyone?
I would like to leave it to my children, to let them continue the tradition. In the meantime, I do not have any children so we shall see in time if they start to like it.
Do you eat your own strudels?
Yes, and I still like them even after such a long time.

With a new contract here at Bradford, work load, and the accompanying increase in stress and ill health, is going to be a major issue. Just to remind you – the new contract means: the loss of a week's holiday, an increase in annual teaching hours from 777 to 814 and then 828, and an increase in weekly teaching hours – for many of us, up to 25 per week.
We will all need to ensure our workloads are as manageable, equitable and fair as we can. If you believe that yours is unreasonable, contact your building rep or a branch officer.
UCU nationally has initiated a workload campaign – see details and link below.
An update on workloads in England FE
Whenever members are asked to name their major concerns at work – excessive and demanding workloads always feature high on their lists. Not only does an excessive workload have detrimental impacts on work life balance it also threatens the ability to consistently deliver a quality service to students. 'Give us the time to teach' is a common refrain.
At its worst, excessive working hours can have a detrimental effect on health. Our national stress surveys indicate year on year increases in levels of stress experienced by UCU members because of workload demands.
UCU has embarked on a nationally co-ordinated campaign to address this situation. We have been corresponding with colleges asking them to confirm that they have already or will, adopt the terms of a 3 year old national agreement which is designed to address the issue of excessive working hours.
The agreement does not prescribe a specific formula of working hours such as maximum teaching hours. It's most important element is for the employer to carry out risk assessments of working hours and duties to ensure they are not resulting in a negative impact on the health and safety of staff. It provides a procedure enabling UCU locally to take up issues of excessive workloads that are identified and reach agreement with the employer on how to tackle the situation.
Where colleges have confirmed that they will carry out assessments of working hours local UCU reps will now be able to pursue this to make sure it happens and then negotiate on suitable means to address as problems.
Although we have now had responses from a majority of colleges most at present still fall short of confirming explicitly that they will undertake risk assessments on working hours. In these circumstances and where their employer has not replied to UCU branches are being encouraged to raise the issue locally and also to hold member meetings to decide on whether they wish to declare a dispute over the issue and move to a ballot on industrial action short of strike. The intention is to coordinate any ballots nationally.

Defining | What's Next
CINCINNATI, OHIO – April 27, 2009 – OPW Fueling Components, a Dover Company (NYSE: DOV) and the global leader in commercial and retail fueling equipment, announced today the introduction of its innovative 21Gv ORVR Nozzle. The 21Gv ORVR Nozzle is designed to make ORVR compliance easy and affordable for marketers by eliminating the need for proprietary ORVR vapor recovery equipment, significantly reducing their overall equipment, installation and maintenance costs.
Being promoted as 21st century innovation for a cleaner, greener world, the 21Gv incorporates a patent-pending on-board refueling canister sensing device and standard M34 inverted coaxial inlet threads, so it can be used with the majority of certified vapor recovery systems and hanging hardware. When the nozzle senses an ORVR canister on a vehicle being fueled, the nozzle automatically shuts off the vapor flow to significantly reduce air ingestion into the underground storage tank to prevent excess tank pressurization and excess emissions from being vented into the atmosphere.
"The 21Gv makes becoming compliant significantly more affordable and easy for marketers," states Brandon Grote, OPW-FC Product Manager. "Now, you can use standard, affordable and readily available vacuum-assist vapor recovery hoses, breakaways, swivels, and whip hoses and simply change the nozzles. It is easiest, most affordable ORVR-compliant solution on the market today."
"The 21Gv represents the best overall ORVR-compliance solution and value in the industry," says Rahul Deshmukh, OPW-FC General Manager. "It offers the most affordable solution for owners, meets compliance requirements for regulators, makes the job fast and easy for service contractors, and helps distributors simplify and reduce the amount of inventory they have to carry for ORVR equipment. Now, all they need is a single nozzle!"
To learn more about the benefits and features of the OPW 21Gv ORVR Nozzle, please visit us at www.21GV.com; contact your local OPW District Manager or Customer Service at (800) 422-2525.

|Believe in Santa; believe also in me
The Bishop of Rome wrote, yesterday, on the 45th World Communications Day, and in it attended to the issues surrounding "Truth, Proclamation and Authenticity of Life in the Digital Age"
I must confess to being mildly surprised that Pope Benedict XVI has a view on a world that seems now to be characterised by Facebook, MySpace - and in Christian circles, to blogging and Tweeting. I am pleasantly surprised too - not least of all because I clearly talked about this first a couple of days ago and it is always nice to pip a leading Christian to the post!
By way of summary, the Pope likens the advent of the digital age to the Industrial Revolution in terms of its scope and impact on the life of a large number of people. He points to the new possibilities for this new mode of communication and its implications not just for faith, but life as a whole. In summary:
- The digital age brings a new appreciation of communication as a whole.
- 'This means of spreading information and knowledge is giving birth to a new way of learning and thinking, with unprecedented opportunities for establishing relationships and building fellowship'
- Communication in a digital age can be at risk from being 'one-sided' and selective - that the communicator discloses only what they wish to disclose and on their terms.
- Social networking, the main outworking of this new digital age for young people, brings with it a new way of relating to others, and allows 'new forms of interpersonal relations'.
- While the dangers (of forming parallel personalities in cyber-space) have to be heeded, people enter cyber-space in a search for authenticity - of themselves and others.
- This raises the question of 'who is my neighbour' in a new world beyond the physical and geographic?
- Will this have implications for the quality of our presence in the 'real' world in which we exist physically?
- The risks of being distracted from our 'real' world (relationships, encounters) are to be heeded
- 'When people exchange information, they are already sharing themselves, their view of the world, their hopes, their ideals. It follows that there exists a Christian way of being present in the digital world: this takes the form of a communication which is honest and open, responsible and respectful of others. To proclaim the Gospel through the new media means not only to insert expressly religious content into different media platforms, but also to witness consistently, in one's own digital profile and in the way one communicates choices, preferences and judgements that are fully consistent with the Gospel, even when it is not spoken of specifically'
- Christians should now be ready to account for the hope that exists within them when engaged in the digital world.
- Care must be taken in the integrity of the message proclaimed
- Avoid popularity or a 'popular' view, or that which is intended to gain most attention
- Avoid dilution and maintain the integrity of the message
- The Gospel must be 'daily nourishment', not a 'fleeting attraction'
- The Gospel should still be rooted in the real, and not left hanging in virtual space
- 'Direct human relations always remain fundamental for the transmission of the faith!'
- Christians are invited, 'with an informed and responsible creativity', to engage with the digital age
- Ephesians 1: 10 - we are called to embrace this new field of existence
- We should emulate the Emmaus Road dialogue in how we draw people to new understandings
- Genuine testimony from those in discipleship to Christ are the main means by which the digital age will retain integrity and not a means of de-personalisation and deception. The human search for truth will mean that many will follow authentic testimony
Writing as a blogger, the needs for authenticity, integrity and responsibility are what ring out of this. So many blogs are hobby-horses, psychiatrist's couch or soap-boxes, partly written to play to a crowd like little mini Christian sects in an online church. That is where blogging fails. Where it seems to thrive is in its unique opportunity to allow everyone with a computer and a signal to communicate their faith authentically, simply and as it is experienced. The world doesn't need ranks of the perfect Christians telling them how it is or how it must be, but they desire real people writing about real struggles with real faith in real life. I have stated this elsewhere here many times.
Catholic, Anglican or Free - all Christians who have a sense that the digital age represents more than a counter-Church fad will be edified by the Pope's sentiments. I commend them you you in those terms.

While I still wouldn't consider myself a pro, I've learned a few things along the way that have made some of the tricky painting areas easier. These methods may not work for everyone, but I figured I'd share just in case they come in handy for someone!
1. Edging the Ceiling
When we were first painting our guest bedroom, I started looking for an alternative to taping off the ceiling. I ended up finding the Shur-Line 2000878 Paint Premium Edger and decided to give it a shot.
There was a bit of a learning curve to it as far as loading the paint pad and sliding it across the wall. But after I got into the groove, it was actually a pretty handy tool. I'm not going to say it's done a perfect job 100% of the time, but with our 10-foot ceilings you'd have to get up on a ladder and inspect it up close to see any blunders.
I also used this edger when I painted the basement walls, which are not textured. Strangely enough, I found it more difficult to get a clean line next to that ceiling than I did on our upstairs walls, which are textured. Maybe the textured walls hide imperfections better? Anyway, I think I did end up taping off some parts of the basement ceiling.
2. Painting Next to Carpeted Stairs
I ran into this dilemma while painting our entire main floor gray a couple years ago. Short of pulling up the carpet on the stairs, how was I supposed to get the wall painted right next to it?
It wasn't as easy as just taping it off... or was it? Actually, yes. But not with the blue painter's tape. I bought a roll of wide white masking tape from Home Depot, which seemed to have more sticking power than the blue stuff. Basically I just placed it right along the very edge of the carpeted stairs while pushing the carpet down into the corners. (If you wanted to be really careful, unlike me, you would first put down some plastic sheeting to completely cover the stairs.)
Then I just took my brush and painted along the tape, shoving the brush down as far as I could next to the taped-off carpet. It also helps to use a large putty knife (or similar tool with a flat edge) to push down the carpet further as you're painting next to it. Once the walls were dry, I pulled off the tape which pulled the carpet back up to its original position. Voila! You couldn't see any of the old paint color.
3. Painting Next to Rubber Seal in a Door Frame
This tricky spot reared its ugly head just recently, when I was repainting some of our oak trim white. I'd been putting off the front door just for this reason, actually. I really don't know if every seal is exactly the same, but ours is folded so you can pull it out to expose the door frame behind it. Hubby suggested just pulling it out and covering the inner fold of the seal with wide masking tape. This part is definitely a two-person job. Hopefully the pictures help to explain what's happening here:
Then it was a matter of pulling the seal out as I brushed paint in as far as I could. Was it fun? No. Did it do the job? Yes. Once the tape is off and the seal goes back to its normal folded position, all you see next to it is crisp white trim.
All of the white trim you see in front of the black seal used to be an orange-y, honey oak color. Not anymore!
So there you have my three tips for tricky painting dilemmas. I'd love to hear if you've tried any of these methods or if you have your own painting tips -- share in the comments below!

Sauder Entertainment CredenzaReviewing: Sauder 401631 | Rating:
This Sauder Entertainment stand looks beautiful...once you get it put together. My husband put it together and it took him just over an hour. It's not that it is hard to put all the pieces together, it's just allot of little things to do. Make sure you do not lose anything in the process because there are no extra pieces.
The stand is part of the Haylea Collection and is done with a harvest cherry finish. This is a beautiful piece of furniture like I stated before and easily blended into the rest of our living room. I purchased this stand at the Sauder warehouse and only paid $40 for it. I believe at other locations it would be around $100. I would call the warehouse directly to get this great deal.
Be careful with what you put on top. The weight limit says it is 175lbs. I'm not sure how much our TV weighs for sure, but it is pushing the limit of the top. We have a 32" flat screen, not flat panel. All of our components fit great in the open compartment, but our game system did not. It did fit into one of the side compartments though.
I would recommend this stand to anyone looking for a great style without having to pay a great deal of money.

Name That Ingredient
December 14, 2017 | print »
I am a lover of the tried & true holiday favorites but I am always looking for something new to add in to the mix. Edamame is often served as a starter in Japanese restaurants but out of the pod they are quite versatile. High in protein and fiber they will fill you up and leave you quite satisfied. And the beautiful emerald green fits right in with the holiday decor. I think of this dip as the Asian cousin of hummus. It's easily assembled with frozen edamame, olive oil and brightened with seasonings that are sure to be in your pantry. Try serving this festive dish along with yummy crudite but be sure to set some aside for your lunch the next day. Bring it to your holiday get together and challenge your friends to guess the main ingredient.
Edamame Dip
Ingredients:1- 12oz bag of frozen Edamame
I Tablespoon Olive Oil
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
2 Garlic Cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
1 generous Teaspoon Dried Basil
1/4 cup of water
Prepare edamame according to package directions---do not over cook. Put all ingredients except 1/4 cup of edamame in a food processor and blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to your preference. Add in remaining edamame and pulse once or twice to maintain the rustic consistency.
Serve with whole grain crackers or veggies.
Lunch Idea: Spread edamame dip on a rice cake and dress with your favorite veggie such as chopped, steamed broccoli or halved cherry tomatoes.

There are a lot of the things wrong with Taxi, almost too many to mention. But I'll try. First, let me just say this.
Boo. Get off the screen. Boooooo. This movie will make small children cry and start clawing their way back into the womb to get away from it. Boo.
Now, let's tackle the ludicrous amount of boredom, shall we?
When I was in graduate school, I took a social science core course entitled Social, Political, Psychological, and Economic Perspectives. We read a lot of philosophy and other two and three hundred year old texts, threw in some Freud on top of that, and wrote huge papers after each book discussing at length what we thought about what we read for that week's class. That was more fun than Taxi. If you need proof, waste your time and money, and rent the movie.
What you'll find is a story line so unbelievable it is beyond the category of absurd comedy. The film is tired and weak, full of cheap jokes and one-liners as well as some really old techniques of film. There is a complete inability to suspend your disbelief on this one. Queen Latifah (you know her voice from the Pizza Hut commercials) is supposed to be a taxi driver that knows all about cars and has done all of the illegal enhancement work on her cab herself (on a bicycle messenger's salary at that). Likewise, Jimmy Fallon attempts to play a police officer that can't drive, disguise himself undercover, defend himself, shoot his weapon, or show any kind of manhood whatsoever. Fallon gets his license taken away and therefore takes Latifah's cab in pursuit of a bank robbery (that would be because there are no other cops in all of New York City that could respond even though they have vehicles). The robbers, of course, are beautiful, skinny, smart, foreign, fast driving, sexy women who like to smile at each other and wear tank tops and bikinis as disguises. And remember, Taxi is also supposed to be funny.
If I could only say one thing I would bring up a lack of a little item called characterization. This movie is full of overdone attempts to break stereotypes while not breaking any and pitiful moves to display role reversal between men and women. You can't write a movie like a "Saturday Night Live" skit and hope it turns out okay. Those skits are for a little "ha ha" but have no depth, and that works for a three minute piece. But in this case, there is no "ha ha" and you need more depth of character to fill ninety-seven minutes of film.
It also seems pretty obvious that the writers of the screenplay know nothing about real police and/or the laws of this country, otherwise the story would never have gotten started. The whole movie is unnecessary and all the money spent should have gone into making a good picture. Finally, at the end, there's a pointless exploitation of lesbian-ish groping as a last resort to interest the bored but determined audience that refuses to leave because they sadly paid to be there. It's as though director Tim Story (warning: also the director of the upcoming Fantastic Fourmovie) realized the film was going nowhere and decided to throw in some boob and butt squeezing. Pathetic. I want to say the only people that would like this film are thirteen year old boys, but I'm afraid that's probably not true. Even they would feel underestimated as thinking individuals and shouldn't be force-fed crap just because celebrities, boobs, and skinny bare torsos are drowning in it.
The best part of the movie are the bloopers that run during the end credits, but I don't know if they are really funny, or if I was just relieved to see the end credits. So why call it Taxi? Why not call it Train Wreck? Why not Trash Truck? Why not Total Waste of Time Mobile? Total Waste of Film Van? Why not call it Giant Tractor Hauling a Ton of Old Manure on a Hot Spring Day? Why? I'll tell you why. That would have done the masses a favor and driven them away before they invested in this unmistakable mistake that deserves to get pulled off the shelves of every store and burned in the streets.
And the disc? Please. Don't bother. After sitting through the misery of the movie, I'm obligated to watch the extras. But you aren't. Be strong. Save yourself. What's sad is that there's no way I can really express through a star rating that the extras are actually worse than the movie itself. There are the usual deleted scenes, which aren't that funny, the director's commentary (where Story really just talks about the actors and what went over well with the test audience, if that's possible), and five featurettes.
The featurettes, which I'm guessing means Story and Fox Home Entertainment consider them to be great little companion movies, are titled as follows if anyone cares to know: "The Meter's Runnin': Making Taxi", "Lights, Camera, Blue Screen", "Tour Guide: Jimmy Fallon", "Reel Comedy: Taxi", and "Beautiful Criminals". The making of really had nothing to do with the making of the film. It's really an excuse for Fallon to desperately ham it up to the camera at every chance he gets, trying to be funny to an already disappointed audience ('cause who watches the extras before the movie, am I right?). The one about the blue screen would be okay because you do learn a small, small amount about technique and such, but I thinks it's safe to say almost everyone in the world gets the concept of the blue screen. We don't need any help understanding it, and we certainly didn't need a featurette to tell us they used one during the driving scenes, it was obvious enough.
The "Tour Guide" segment is really an excuse for Fallon to desperately ham it up to the camera every chance he gets, trying to be funny to an already disappointed audience (did you catch the repeat?). The only one that is remotely funny is the "Reel Comedy" bit, but only because the actors are poking fun at Fallon and the movie. "Beautiful Criminals" is nothing but a meaningless compilation of the models driving, undressing, smiling, standing, etc. with music giving the quick shots a beat to change to.
After watching all of this, I'm not worried about obesity in America anymore. Aids in Africa? What's that? Terrorism? No. I'm concerned that more people aren't harmed by this film. If this disc gets out into the rest of the world, into places like a Tokyo Blockbuster (if they even have them), there could be horrible results. Go ahead, picture the fire in the streets as millions of copies of Taxi ignite at once. The heat hitting your face, the smell of burning plastic curling up on itself as it blackens. Hear that crackle of flames, the high-pitched squealing as discs buckle and break, and the deep sigh of relief from vindicated DVD buyers everywhere.

Holly recently enjoyed a poetry workshop at her school, run by Oxfordshire-based poet James Carter. (You can read about him at his website: http://www.jamescarterpoet.co.uk/index.html).
The children were asked to write a poem based on the sentiment: 'These are the gifts that I would, if I could, give to you' and this is Holly's composition – we absolutely loved it.
For my Mummy and Daddy:
These are the gifts that
I would
if I could
give to you.
The golden key to an ocean of peace
A life so crystal clear you can see right through it,
The colours bottled up in a jar ready to spill out,
The warmth of a flickering candle glowing in the night.
I would give you all the brightness of a sunflower.
I would give you the guidance of my hand.
I would give you all the time you want and need
And all the happiness the world possesses.
These are the gifts
That I would
If I could
Give to you.
By Holly Fratter
What gifts would you give to someone you love, if you could?

The revered, mystical and ancient 'Scone of Destiny' is the centrepiece of this lively performance which combines elements of parade with mock ritual and country dancing.
The colourful Women's Guild of Master Bakers, each dressed in traditional costumes representing either Flour, Sugar, Butter or Sultana, carry the Scone atop a litter through the streets towards a suitable spot where the legendary baked wonder can be celebrated through ritual and dance, accompanied by bizarre tales of its creation in 1739 and a comical musical soundtrack.
The Scone of Destiny has been created thanks to funding from Creative Scotland and, to date, has toured many small towns and villages in Scotland.

Product Management Rule #32: Determine Your Marketing Approach Early and Wisely
Product Management Rule #32 from the best-selling book, 42 Rules of Product Management, was written by Barbara Rice, Senior Principal Consultant, 280 Group
A brilliant product without the right marketing approach to support it can result in company failure.
As product managers, you always have to struggle to meet customer needs in the context of an unrealistic schedule in order for the company to meet its objectives. It's easy to get caught up and over- whelmed with turning out a perfect product. But a brilliant product without the right marketing approach to support it can also result in a company failure. Determine your marketing approach early—at least twelve months prior to launch—and you will avoid wasted energy, course correction, and effort with no return. It's the difference between "product readiness" and "market readiness."
Here are some common mistakes companies make when determining the right marketing approach:
They try to do everything possible in order to create maximum buzz.
This is also known as "spray gun marketing," and the basic misconception is that the more marketing you do, the more successful your product will be, even if the marketing efforts are unfocused. You may find you've spent lots of money for mediocre results, or that your team is trying to think "big" but not critically.
They do what's easy and cheap.
This is easy to fall into when finances are tight, and top management may applaud you for making "the tough decisions," but if you follow it, you'll still waste precious marketing budget. It's not only a matter of what you can afford—but finding the right marketing strategies that will be transformational for your product.
They focus on the kinds of programs the management team loves.
Maybe they love PR because they're pumped by industry kudos, or maybe they're fascinated by social media because they want their company to be leading edge and hip. The problem with these pet programs is that while they may stimulate interest or activity, they may not be most effective in reaching your audience.
So what's the best way to avoid these critical errors, and get marketing on the right path early on?
While it will likely take many planning sessions to come up with the best marketing mix, here are a few questions that can lead you in the right direction, keep you grounded in reality, and optimize marketing efficiency:
What (or who) influences your customer the most?
Is it other people (industry influencers, colleagues, friends), certain publications or news sources, evidence or proof that your product works? Identifying the "sweet spot" helps ensure your message is on point, and that it's coming from a credible source.
Are people ready for the "whole product," or do they need to try before they buy?
It may be that you want to test different offerings or packages to find out what lowers the barrier to entry.
What drives your audience to buy?
In other words, are they viral, aspira- tional, data-oriented, etc.? Make sure your message and communication channels support this.
What is your company's current brand image, and how much latitude do you have with marketing programs?
Always be sure your marketing is con- sistent with this. Don't do a social media program just because someone thinks it's cool; if it's not consistent with your company personality it will almost certainly not be cool, and it probably won't have any impact anyway.
What metrics does your company need to see in order to deem your product a success?
Remember that metrics can mean anything from industry buzz to blog pick up to homepage clicks to sales conversions. But don't overlook profitability! Be sure you have a healthy mix of programs that indicate people are moving through the sales cycle.
Overall, make sure you get alignment on your marketing approach early—before you dive into the detailed marketing mix. It will go a long way to save time and ensure success. And if you go through your marketing approach early enough, you might find that your product may need some changes itself.

That's so Denver.
Here's another great find from Atlas Obscura. Seriously, if you're looking for something fun and unique in your area, look no further than Atlas Obscura.
A few weeks ago my husband and I visited the International Church of Cannabis. The "tour" was really more of just an opportunity to sit in the chapel and admire the murals and take a quick look inside of their meeting room.
I couldn't believe that this place really existed. Apparently, the government can't either. They are actively trying to shut down the church. So if this place tickles your fancy, come quick, the International Church of Cannabis may not be open for much longer.
Now buckle your seat belt, I'm about to drop some knowledge about the International Church of Cannabis and what it means to be an Elevationist.
What is the International Church of Cannabis?
The International Church of Cannabis consists of a group of people known as Elevationists. Elevationists believe that it is their religious right to reach the greatest versions of themselves without political scrutiny or prosecution. Members join together in the church to smoke marijuana in a safe environment. No one under the age of 21 is permitted in the building.
What's with the funky murals?
Artists Okuda San Miguel and Kenny Scharf designed the interior and exterior of the building. The church is colorful with vibrant mural across the ceiling. The murals have no meaning, but members claim that they discover their own meaning while smoking marijuana. The meeting room (pictured below) is adorned with quirky decorations, furniture, board games and a small gift shop.
Where is the International Church of Cannabis?
The church is located at 400 S Logan St, Denver, CO 80209 and is open for tours Thursday through Sunday 1:00-3:00 p.m. There is a $5.00 suggested donation. Marijuana consumption is not allowed in the church when it is open to the public.
Can I smoke inside of the church?
You must become a member to smoke inside of the church as smoking is not allowed during tour hours.
The History of Elevationism
Elevationism began in Denver, Colorado by a group of people who were tired of the restrictive nature of most religions. Some Elevationists believe in God but more generally they refer to a Universal Creative Force and allow members to decide what they believe. Elevationism did not begin as a replacement to faith. Instead, it was created to support the consumption of a plant that has positively influenced the minds of the individuals.
Members of the church are known as Elevationists. During their service, they smoke weed and strive to reveal the best version of themselves and discover a creative voice. Elevationists claim that they do not attempt to convert visitors to Elevationism. According to their website, "[Elevationism] claims no divine law, no questionable doctrine, and no authoritarian structure." People who believe that cannabis can and should be used in the one's personal journey and search for meaning are encouraged to join.
People are always very curious about marijuana when they find out I live in Colorado. Yes, marijuana is legal in Colorado. All you need is a valid ID and you can purchase marijuana at one of the many shops across the state. There is literally a shop on almost every corner (similar to liquor stores, if not more prevalent). Colorado residents receive a slight discount. You must be 21 years or older to purchase marijuana.
What do you think about the legalization of marijuana? What about the International Church of Cannabis? How would you feel if one popped up in your neighborhood?
Thanks for reading,

Verizon flat out bull s@&t
So I'm sitting at my grandmothers watching her tv and it's Fios. For some reason the signal is lost so I decide to call and see wtf is up. I gave up Verizon years ago and while searching for a solution to this latest situation I found this site. I gave up good ole verizon in 2008. I was looking for a solution to high internet bills and where I live there aren't many choices. So I called to try Verizon's "high speed internet" and they had a free trial for 6 months or so. I gave it a try and hooked it up. Needless to say it sucked so I stayed with my previous service. I waited to cancel for a bit but called before my time period was up and was speaking to customer service about canceling. They were going through the questions and finally said they couldn't process at the time could I call back tomorrow. So I obliged and called back the following day. Well the following day was a day past the expiration of the free trial and they argued with me for a good while when I explained that I had called the day prior and was told to call back the next day. It fell on deaf ears and I got charged the entire months bill plus equipment. I refused to pay and have argued with them and still haven't paid. I took a credit hit over it and am pretty pissed but what diabolical practices. I know I should've prob not waited to call oraune cancelled sooner but I still think it's ridiculous for them to have behaved this way. To this day I will not use a verizon product (minus my grandmothers tv but don't have a choice there) and tout their terrible name to all who will listen. Oh and the Fios has been out for over 2 hours now with no resolve. At leasty current company never has outages like this and their internet works. Hope someone listens to this and learns. Stay away from the D-bags at Verizon.

text: Saparmurat Niyazov, the former president, died unexpectedly in December [AP] Under Niyazov, who ruled Turkmenistan for nearly two decades, internet access was tightly restricted to senior state employees and officially approved organisations, embassies and international organisations. The former president also last year stripped more than 100,000 elderly Turkmens of their pensions, under a law that also cancelled sick leave and maternity leave payments. Niyazov ruled for 21 years without competing in an election, allowing no open political debate and driving opposition leaders abroad. He died on December 21 of heart failure. A likely winner "I want to be president of a democratic country, where rich people live and work, where all conditions for free life and free work are created" Gurbanguli Berdymukhamedov Acting president of TurkmenistanHowever, hopes of radical political change have been tempered by Berdymukhamedov's promises to "steadfastly follow the bidding of the great Saparmurat Turkmenbashi," using the title meaning 'Father of All Turkmen' that Niyazov bestowed on himself. Berdymukhamedov is one of six candidates for the February 11 presidential election. All candidates were chosen by the country's highest legislative body and Turkmenistan has only one legal political party - the Democratic Party of Turkmenistan - a descendent of the country's former communist party. Berdymukhamedov is expected to win by a comfortable margin. Election promises Berdymukhamedov told voters that that he would liberalise the country's poorly-performing economy. "One of the main tasks is to give the population work, to develop small and medium business," he said. "Sixty one per cent of our economy is in private hands and I will support businessmen." Berdymukhamedov also promised voters that the elections will be "just, honest and open," the state media reports said. "I want to be president of a democratic country, where rich people live and work, where all conditions for free life and free work are created," he was quoted as saying. SOURCE: Agencies

A Fruitful Proposition
Consider including fruit trees and a variety of vegetables in your garden design and you can have year-round consumption of in-season, organic and fresh produce that can be picked right outside your door. Having an over-abundance of fruits and vegetables during the year is also an opportune means for connecting with and sharing with your family, friends & neighbors.
