FOX's Sean Hannity Show hosted a Black Conservative Town hall and since then this video has spread like wild fire. It brought up issues many people liberal and conservative alike could relate to. Blacks began to find that there are not wide divisions between their conservative counterparts and themselves. This could be a great start for Blacks as we need to come together and start healing and talking to form the new Underground Railroad. Seeing that we really have more in common than differences will start to break down the walls of division and help us to start to focus on the true enemy that keeps us from moving forward.
This is a great video that needs to be shared in its entirety. Many people want to know about the elusive Black Conservative. Well here is a segment of us in a town hall answering questions and talking about issues and matters near and dear to our hearts.
I am sure if people listen to this with an open mind they will find some pieces where they can agree and find common bonds. The differences, well as I always say; We shall have to agree to disagree. However this video is very interesting and is great food for discussion.

The NAACP and Gay Marriage – a Must Read Article
As one who is not certain of the direction of the new NAACP I found this commentary interesting.
I am not debating the gay marriage issue. I am debating if it should the priority of the NAACP at this time. With so many urgent issues facing African Americans, shouldn't the NAACP be addressing these first (jobs, education, poverty, etc…)? As our leading group, is it not time the NAACP make some demands and priorities of this president and congress before we support another term?
Please read this article from African Globe Net's Raynard Jackson and you decide, what should the NAACP be addressing right now.
Peace Family,
The NAACP and Gay Marriage – a Must Read Article
Those who have followed my writings over the years know that I am not very fond of the modern day NAACP. They have strayed very far from their original mission and have become a patsy for the Democratic Party. They are more concerned with having a photo taken at the White House than being the picture of equality and fairness for those with no voice.
The group was founded in 1909 as a civil rights organization. Its charter stated their mission as: "To promote equality of rights and to eradicate caste or race prejudice among the citizens of the United States; to advance the interest of colored [Black] citizens; to secure for them impartial suffrage; and to increase their opportunities for securing justice in the courts, education for the children, employment according to their ability and complete equality before law."
A charter or mission statement guides an organization to ensure that it stays true to its mission; it helps an organization to stay focused on its raison d'etre—its reason for being. So, I ask the NAACP, what is the basis for its focus on gay entitlements or citizenship for those in the country illegally?
Notice that I used the term "gay entitlements" not gay rights! A right has to be derived from some source document—the U.S. Constitution, a law, the Bible, etc. But, an entitlement is not derivative—it's based on a "belief" that one deservers a benefit; that belief is totally subjective.
Based on their charter, the NAACP has no business being involved in all these issues that are outside of their core mission—equality for Black citizens. Has the Human Rights Campaign (a gay entitlements group) or the pro-amnesty forces come out with a statement about Trayvon Martin, or all the child killings in Chicago, or discrimination against Blacks? We all know the answer is no!
So, you have the NAACP fighting for entitlements that are outside the scope of their charter; but, yet the groups they are fighting for gives no reciprocity when it comes to issues of particular interest to the Black community.
It should not surprise the public that the NAACP has publically declared their support for "gay marriage." Notice that I did not say "marriage equality." When gays use the word marriage equality, they are saying that they want gay marriage to be "equal" to heterosexual marriage. By definition that cannot happen since marriage is between a man and a woman. Their goal is not equality, because that is an impossibility; they want acceptance. They want to redefine marriage, thereby forcing society to accept their lifestyle choices.
When the NAACP issued their statement of support for gay entitlements they said, "The NAACP Constitution affirmatively states our objective to ensure the "political, educational, social and economic equality" of all people. Therefore, the NAACP has opposed and will continue to oppose any national, state, local policy or legislative initiative that seeks to codify discrimination or hatred into the law or to remove the Constitutional rights of LGBT citizens. We support marriage equality consistent with equal protection under the law provided under the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. Further, we strongly affirm the religious freedoms of all people as protected by the First Amendment."
Using the 14th amendment as the basis for asserting the right for gays to marry is a bit of a stretch. In Hernandez v. Texas (1954) the U.S. Supreme Court held that the 14th amendment protects those beyond the racial classes of White or "Negro" and extends to other racial, ethnic and other historically disadvantaged groups, i.e. women.
So, please tell me which of the above groups would gay marriage come under? The 14th Amendment does not apply to them. They are asking the courts to create a special class of rights for them based on sexual preference, which is their ultimate goal.
Gays do not deserve special protection based on their sexual preferences, but they do deserve equal protection based on their humanity.
In a 2005 speech, the NAACP's former chairman, Julian Bond said, "…Sexual disposition parallels race. I [a gay person] was born this way. I have no choice. I wouldn't change it if I could. Sexuality is unchangeable. I guess Bond never heard of anyone having their sex changed surgically?
So, let me make sure I understand this. If I choose to exercise my right to oppose gay marriage, I am hateful and believe in discrimination? So, while the Black community is sinking in alarming pathologies with Black on Black crime, runaway teenage pregnancy, high unemployment, the NAACP is taking up the cause that has absolutely no legal basis and is outside the mandate of their own charter. Are you kidding me?
Weak people (and groups), take strong positions on weak issues. The modern day Civil Rights movement has done more harm to Blacks than any man in a White hood!

Ah-Ha….The Old "Keep 'em Focused on Nonsense Trick".
Black people, African Americans, Nubians, Bilalians, Niggers, whatever you call yourself or choose to answer to, please stay focused. When did gay marriage, immigration reform, Basketball Wives or Casey Anthony become critical issues in the pursuit of Black Power? Do not be deceived….watch for the hand behind the scene. Tavis and Sharpton fueding or whether The President is Black enough are sidebar issues. we can get back to that ish once we rebuild the Black community/family. Lets get our people working and healthy. We still have folks in our community with no electricity in their homes, no telephones and in some instances plumbing that rivals third-world countries. If you were a member of one of the free and functioning ethnic groups in America you could spend your time debating such frivolousness. Black people do not have that luxury….stopping the daily MURDERS, sexual assaults, robberies and the general breakdown of Black society must be the focus. Distractions can be fun but nation bulding is serious business and its later than you think….chop, chop.
No Longer Stuck… in the Valley of the DOLLS
This piece is being written specifically to hopefully shed luminance on the BLACK DOLL, WHITE DOLL Syndrome:
Why a Black child will chose a White Doll over a Black doll. This started first coming to the world's wonderment when in 1939, husband and wife psychologists, Kenneth Clark and Mamie Phipps, devised a study where it was shown that Black children would chose a White doll before choosing a Black one. Said case study was propelled to international attention though when from his tireless effort Attorney Thurgood Marshall prevailed in getting The highest court to overturn the 'Separate But Equal' doctrine in place at that time. That time being 2:00p.m. May the 17, 1954. The case had been Brown vs. the Board Of Education. Which took place in the city of Topeka. In the State Of Kansas. In the Country of The United States o America. With a gargantuan force that came to decidedly break the camel's back; the Attorney for the Organization that initiated the suit, and The Organization's Legal Defense and Educational Fund Advisor, the VERY Honorable Thurgood Marshall, argued successfully for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Speaking for The Supreme Court, himself, and on behalf of the other Justices, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the land Earl Warren, made the long awaited, though tearfully prayed for, announcement in favor of the NAACP!
Attorney Thurgood Marshall had used the experiment with the dolls, and the Black children to put the stamp of victory on his case for The NAACP.
Now comes Henry Jackson. He contends that this phenomenon is no where near any phenomenon. He intends to show the Reader (jury) that this LEARNED BEHAVIOR is just that LEARNED! And it is gotten by these Black children from two (2) sources. One of them you already know, but did not know that you already knew it. The other one he shall explain to both you, and the Research Community et al.
NUMBER ONE: The first, and by far more evil culprit of the two are the MEDIA. This is to include different varieties of hidden agenda children's games also. And that Black athletics, and musical artists are just as well at fault, and share a huge amount of the blame, therefore guilt, is without doubt paramount. I do not know if their conduct is dictated by their handlers or themselves. But then too it probably goes back to the Giant MEDIA Empire. As Black heros and heroines gain fame and money; they start to use the Skin Lightening procedures available. And their hair progressively continuously goes from black to a progressive shade of blond. Then their processed/relaxed/permed/multi-colored hair is seen on the MEDIA's magazine covers, etc. The entire gamut is transversed from nose jobs to bleached epidermises! All unnatural. What? And you don't think the children are watching? Then many seek to marry a lighter hued person then themselves. The Black child sees all of this. Some celebrities marry White! Yes, this too the child sees! The Legendary Michael Jackson went 100%. Michael 'became' the White doll! Emphasis emphatically added!
I think the child at times gets the wrong information from their parents. In that they do talk about, and against each other. Black parents might bad talk another Black individual, upset, but not really meaning any real harm. But the young child does not distinguish the difference. All she/he hears are derogatory terms such as black bastard, black bitch, nigger, motherfuckin' nappy headed this and that. And very sadly, the list goes on! Then society wonders how children are able to profane like they have an Academicianship Certificate in Profanity. Well they get it from you the guardian(s), or other children who in turn got it from their parent(s); or the all encompassing MEDIA. Oh,oh! There is that word again.
MEDIA! Advertisers target, by way of the MEDIA, the money! Who has the money? White folks! The lowest minority of folks have the highest majority of the wealth. Now, it is all about the all mighty dollar. So the MEDIA has to make those who have the money look even better so that this group can put money into the pockets of the advertisers so that they then put money into the pockets of the manufacturers who in turn put even more money into the overflowing pockets of the MEDIA…. World control and domination. Confused yet? Allow me to explain then please. If you will.
The MEDIA by way of hook or crook make the World's shot callers look good. It, the MEDIA, make disappear the sins of the CLASS ELITE. They too are White. These Elites send troops into other Countries to slaughter the poor populace in the name of greed. In the name of domination. Tyranny! The intention is to divide and control dark pigmented people!
That is the meaning in the arcane MASONIC SYMBOL the SQUARE, and the RULE! Divide and conquer! Divide and conquer. Divide and RULE! Divide and control the World! The SCULL and the CROSS BONES! The black flag of the Jolly Roger! Anarchy but with a knowing CONTROLLING HAND!
The News Conglomerate knows not to broadcast that News about the take over of Nations done solely for the out right theft of that Country's Prime Material ! The MEDIA cleans up the mess though through lies and propaganda. White Washed, they the thieves come out all white and brand new. Then more Use of tax payer's money in planning, and equiping for the next invasion. The next take over of a defenseless sovereign non White Nation!
These atrocities to other peoples are not heard on the News Programs though. What is heard is about the Black homeless guy with all odds against him, harmlessly asleep on the cold sidewalk. That is who, that is what is captioned on television's Morning News Cast that the child overhears just before the Black children are about to walk out of the door on their way to school where for hours on end very little if anything is ever said about any Black beings that might have done something (anything at all) to benefit society. The talk of the town is about the Black homeless guy, the Black shoot out, the Black drug bust, the Black pregnancy/abortion rate. The Black unemployment rate because Blacks are lazy.
Never mention to these same Black children that it was their forefathers that coerced the White men (cavemen) Neanderthals, and White women (cavewomen) out of the caves of the Northern Caucus Mountains of Europe, and taught them to walk erect! Like we [ to use their term ] BLACK Homo Sapiens walk(ed)…. No where is it told how Black people showed these people that it was okay to wash the layers of caked on filth, and dirt from their bodies. Because these people erroneously thought that the filthiness warded off sickness! Never does History mention how men from all over the known world went to Amexem, Thebes, Wo'se, Nowe, Kemit, and Alkebulan. All different names for the same place AFRICA! They went to learn the secrets of greatness held only by the Black geniuses of Amexem, of Africa! These men traveled many miles in order to learn at the feet of the WISDOM MASTERS! To learn at BLACK feet! The Great Alexander went and stole some of this great knowledge. Where he took it to was to the yet White heathens of Europe. Where through the arch plagiarizer Aristotle; light (knowledge) was imparted to the very savage, and backwards Countries of Europe. These priceless stolen scrolls, and artifacts, are now housed in the GREAT VATICAN City! Without doubt the abode of SATAN. THE ANTI-BLACK RACE, ANTI-CHRIST demon! Who along with his vile, evil cohorts (for now) own the Planet Earth! The Planet Earth was built from the ingenuity, the sweat, the blood, the abuse, and the tears of the Black MAN! Tell those Black children this bit of information too oh ye diabolical manipulators of the MEDIA. Let it be known that it is you also you bastard MEDIA you, that control thus corrupt the Black children's purposely designed to be debilitating – text books!
By all of this good White people, charade, the Black child's Psyche is bombarded 24/7 with the White's faultless perfection, with the White's faultless qualities. And the Scientists do not know why the Black child consistently over the years, after the many studies, still chooses to this day; to pick the White doll? Hell! Under these conditions that we live Reader, give this same test to some grown Black folks, and I deplore you to PLEASE not feel offended when you see one or two of them walking around the Test Site smiling, hugging on a White doll as well. Looking at the genital area to ascertain if it is a male or female doll; and if it pees!
NUMBER TWO: When African children interact with Caucasian children here too key data is gleaned as to why the tiny African hand reaches out first for the Caucasian doll!
When African children are together unsupervised a hierarchy is soon worked out among them. The toughest ones get most of the marbles not having to ever risk loosing any of her/his marbles. This same scenario of pecking orders applies for unsupervised African siblings in their homes as well. This standard holds true for Caucasian children too by the way.
A different story unfolds though when these two groups of children are placed together unsupervised mind you! Unsupervised an African child that might have been ostracized by his/her perspective group in the other sample group just might turn out to be the dominate one in the weaker group. But assuredly not the child on or near the bottom rung for sure.
This must also have to do with the proven scientific fact. That an African child develops much faster than a Caucasian child with the very same birth comparison.
So, back to my point. The African child who was bullied in his/her group is king or queen in the other group. And that information is not lost on the African child. This child was not appreciated by her/his peers, but overnight is PRESIDENT of the sandbox when playing with Caucasian children. And is sudden endowed with Executive Powers!
Therefore when asked which doll this Black child would prefer, of course the child chooses the doll from the group that gives no negative feedback to the child. THIS DOLL REMINDS THE CHILD OF THE OTHER LITTLE ONES WHERE HE/SHE REIGNS SUPREME! Their buddies!
When asked which doll (except for coloration the dolls are replicas i.e. exactly alike) is the uglier of the two the African child points towards the black doll. Of course. No Caucasian child has ever with frowning face, and bulging eyes taken anything from the African child; that was always the other African children!The BAD children! It was the other 'mean' African children who took his/her toys, and shoved her/him out of the sandbox face down scratched and bleeding. Pride gone!
What sounds feasible to me as well, in the cases where The African child chose the African doll, is that that particular child is a dominate one. And for all likelihood could have just as well chosen a Caucasian doll as well. It would merely depend on what frame of mind the child was in, when asked the question which doll they preferred. It really would not matter for he or she is not intimidated by either group. But of my examples Numbers One or Number Two, Number One; the MEDIA. overwhelmingly supersedes Number two as the far worse villain by far.
Wake up Black Race! I beseech you! I am hollering! If you do not do for yourselves; one for the other, you are collectively DOOMED! Black people is it that one eye has been lost due to the catharses of SLAVERY? And you have a vision deficit in the remaining eye! Can you not see that you have to hold each other aloft or parish individually? Can you not see that you, you and you, are your very own salvation? That you and you are your own DEITIES! If ALL OF YOU Black folks can not see it then can you not intuitate then that god (sic) has already chosen. WAKE UP! You all's god has chosen The WHITE DOLL!
So what is it Black people? The Blue Pill or The Red Pill? Well? Which one? If you do not decide it will be decided for you! Trust me. You DO NOT want that! That is funny!
Lastly, I wonder was there any criteria in these studies ever put in place to prevent the African child from acting in a given way, knowledgeable that the adult observers were in expectation of a specific performance from them? That would taint (contaminate) the study in such a manner as to actually nullify said results.
Upon ending, and in my mind anyway; I whole heartedly believe that I have without reserve defended my Dissertation Thesis. In other words I have proven what I claimed to achieve in my initial theses statements.
Post Script: Should any Black person or White person feel slighted or bitten by this article <\/> too damn bad! Get over it! For this too shall pass!

Where Is Milwaukee's Black Think Tank?
Originally posted 7/20/09
I'm asking this question very loudly after reading Daniel Bice's No Quarter piece in yesterday's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The article titled Chief's Consultant Ties Raise Questions, is fantastic and highlights in great depth how there is tremendous influence and power unseen driving policy within our city.
For instance, Bice links the relationship of the Bradley Foundation, George Kelling (a national police consultant) and Robert Wasserman (Kelling's partner) to policy being initiated by Police Chief Flynn. Bice even writes that some MKE Cops have started referring to Kelling and Wasserman as shadow chiefs for their influence on the department. He writes that they even helped prepare testimony for Chief Flynn in which he was to present before the Common Council.
The article also mentions that the Bradley Foundation has paid more than 300k to Kelling and Wasserman since '07. Part of this money was provided to the two men to provide a study on crime and violence in Milwaukee which was also endorsed by the Mayor.
Bice uncovers many layers of the relationships of the aforementioned parties. His article really made me think about how the African American community lacks this sort of collective, organized institiution. In other words, there is a lack and definite need for a Think Tank dedicated to policy issues impacting the Urban Community in the city.
Wikipedia defines a Think Tank as follows:
A think tank (also called a policy institute) is an organization, institute, corporation, or group that conducts research and engages in advocacy in areas such as social policy, political strategy, economy, science or technology issues, industrial or business policies or military advice.
Many think tanks are non-profit organizations, which some countries such as the United States and Canada provide with tax exempt status. While many think tanks are funded by governments, interest groups, or businesses, some think tanks also derive income from consulting or research work related to their mandate.
A Black Think Tank would be a tremendous benefit for the community. An organization like that could be a major influence on having the city elect its first Black Mayor. A Black Think Tank would be a heavyweight in driving economic policy, education reform, legal policy and much more. Think of the influence such a group could yield in a city where there are hundreds of thousands of African Americans. So I ask again, where is Milwaukee's Black Think Tank?

Unstoppable, well-engineered car
by sgtofmarines75 on Nov 14, 2013
Vehicle: 2000 Toyota ECHO 4dr Sedan
Bought this car brand new in 2000. 13 years and 220,000 miles later, I have no plans to let it go anytime soon. Replaced the catalytic converter at about 150,000 miles, but no other repairs ever needed - routine maintenance only. It does leak some oil now, but that's to be expected at this age. 34-36 MPG avg. combined, city and hwy. Incredibly roomy interior and trunk, given the car's tiny exterior. Interior features are simple and "plastic-y" but are rugged. Engine has plenty of power and pep, but handling leaves a bit to be desired, especially when taking curves at high speed, or in stiff winds. Hard to beat for simple, reliable, and comfortable transportation
2000 echo: over 180,000 miles
by echoowner on Sep 16, 2012
Vehicle: 2000 Toyota ECHO 4dr Sedan
We bought our Echo in 2000. It has been the most reliable car we've ever owned, and the most economical to operate. Highway mileage is about 40 mpg, and we have had no major repairs at over 180,000 miles. My husband is 6'2" and is very comfortable in the driver's seat - he tried to sit in a Corolla at the time we bought the Echo, and he was terribly cramped, so we bought the Echo instead and have never, never regretted it. This car is a keeper! (Our Echo has automatic transmission.)

Vehicle: 2000 Toyota ECHO 4dr Sedan
Just got this little car so I can park my big ol' Ford F-150 gas guzzler for a while. Was not expecting much- but it is surprisingly fun to drive. It feels much larger than it's subcompact size, and the trunk is rather roomy. The check engine light was on when I got it, and like everyone else, it's O2 sensors. It is by no means a sports car, but with 198,000 miles on it- there are NO rattles and it feels solid. The interior is in remarkable condition considering the age and miles. It was filthy when we got it- we gutted the interior and cleaned everything and it is very close to new looking now- proving the durability of the interior. I don't think I will regret this purchase.

Mache much?? Not a bad job but it's been done before on different LeBron models
Dope. Gives off a Transformers type vibe. I still just want the black/red pair for now
I hate Pros but these are dope. Still a pass though. $250 is way too much. I haven't bought a pair of Foams since they jacked the price up past $200
R.I.P. Isaac
Under the blacklight, these shoes are beautiful. Too bad I won't be getting a pair due to Nike limiting the amount of pairs they produce for this charity. And I refuse to buy from a reseller so that he/she can profit off of this child's efforts
@Da_Real_Big_Infinite I do too and I usually get a pair of Foams in September (bday month) but I have to pass on these
Low key, these are one of the better releases so far this year
Not bad but not exciting at all
if the 11s feel anything similar to the Xs, then I'll be scooping a few pairs
I'm going to get the Black and red pair. Will probably wait til they go on sale though. Ppl complain about the price but Foams have been $200 or better for the past 6-7 years. They were basically $200 when they first released if you're including tax. If you plan on paying $250 for the Jordan Vs (with technology that is 20 yrs old) you should have nothing to ay about these
@DimeBagOfSwoosh and he just made it into the HOF (not inducted yet but soon)
I just need a release date for the white pair with the neon paw inside
I respect the cause but once again. Nike could make so much more money for the DB Foundation if they produced more pairs instead of limiting the pairs they make and having resellers sell them for triple the retail price while keeping all the profit
@BBTrickShot yea, it's probably the kid's bday or something significant
I love AJVs and Foams but those last two shoes just made me throw the fuck up
Griff's for me. Been waiting on these for a min. And the AM '95 ain't nothing but $120? Can't go wrong with that
FOH with this bs lmao
That grey and dark red/maroon cw is always a winner
Far from the best shoe ever f---in' made

My 3 year old caught chicken pox from me when I had shingles. I did all kinds of things to try to help him, but he had about 5-6 very large, angry pox that are now big craters. The scabs fell off too early and I'm wondering if it's because I gave him really long baths or put too much oil on him. He did not scratch because they didn't really itch. Now he will have those deep scars forever because the fatty tissue under the top layer of skin is gone. :(
His older brother (6) and his younger brother (10 months) caught it from him, and I want to do better for them. The pox started showing up today. The older one is already wanting to scratch. I've started applying coconut oil.
After extensive google searches and reading, I had a list of things to use, but not many instructions on how or when. I read hundreds of CP posts here and didn't get much info about treatment.
Please look at my treatment program for my 3-year-old and tell me what I did right and what I did wrong.
- Pre-eruption - day 1 of pox: Did nothing
- Day 2: Applied coconut oil
- Day 2-4: Hour-long baths with infant oatmeal and baking soda. Applied coconut oil. Started giving him smoothies loaded with all the supplements I've heard will help.
- Day 5-7: Hour-long baths with pau d'arco tea, strained regular oatmeal, coconut oil, local honey, baking soda, and some infant oatmeal again. I applied bentonite clay after the bath. Later applied coconut oil. Also applied weleda diaper rash cream to bad ones (this was an accident as it looks just like the calendula cream). Continued with smoothies.
- After scabs fell off: Applied honey, then vit E. He hates both, so I'm not doing much now. I'm worried about bad scarring.
I've heard about all kinds of things to apply, but I guess the main questions I have are when to apply what (e.g., when to keep them oiled and when to dry them out, how long to soak). And maybe I should try a green clay mask in the early stages? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

'Top Chef Masters' winner Marcus Samuelsson astounds with foie flan
Although the finale seemed to lack the cutthroat competitiveness of the usual "Top Chef" series, there was still plenty of suspense considering each chef delivered exceptional menus with many highs.
It was Marcus Samuelsson that bested seafood king Rick Moonen and fan/chef favorite Susur Lee at their own games, bringing African food into the fine dining world.
The competition was close, however, and Samuelsson won by a mere half point -- 17.5 over Lee and Moonen's 17 points each.
The three chefs were tasked with bringing together three courses that represented their journeys as chefs. First course would be their first significant food memory, second course was inspired by a meal that made them decide to become chefs and the final course would describe themselves as chefs.
Although various parts of dishes garnered praise from the judges (Rick's scallop, Susur's entire final course) it was Samuelsson's foie flan that amazed and piqued the judges' curiosity. Besides bragging rights, Samuelsson also won a $100,000 grand prize for his charity.
The menus:
Marcus Samuelsson
First course - Smoked char with sweet horseradish and shellfish broth with apples and celery root; mashed root vegetables
Second course - Salt-cured duck with foie gras flan, sour tomato jam and aged balsamic
Third course - Berbere-flavored hamachi meatball, porcini couscous, sea urchin froth
Rick Moonen
First course - Hamachi and live sea scallop crudo, glazed kushi oyster, American sturgeon caviar
Second course - Pork belly with poached egg, Sardinian gnocchi with parmesan and white truffle, turnip
Third course - Venison with espresso salt and pear butter, stuffed cipollini onions, matsutake mushrroms & brussels sprouts natural jus with red wine reduction reduction
Susur Lee
First course - Steamed scallop w/ cantonese black bean sauce, shrimp & crab croquette with chili sauce
Second course - Tuna with wasabi mousee, charred sea bream, artichoke asparagus and daikon salad with ginger flower
Third course - Lamb Thailandaise with chang mai sausage, green curry, polenta
Samuelsson celebrated with an Ethiopian ululation and applause.

i was rooting for marcus or susur so i'm happy.
Me too. Very happy he & his charity won.
The final three master chefs were outstanding throughout the show. Marcus put his soul into his last dish. What's so funny about the results is that Rick Moonen didn't consider him competition. He said it and made it apparent when he said, I've competed with the great Susur. Never underestimate anyone; remember David and Goliath!!!
Rick all the way for me. He's the nicest.
thanks for ruining it, sad how the winner was posted in the title.
The best chef won.
Clearly the best chef won.
No comments I like cooking and we work together we teach people how can I meet him we shire how do we cook we help each oter e- mail me by
Whooray! I'm from Sweden and it's fun to see Marcus embrace both the swedish and the african food cultures in his very unique way! Congratulations!
Susur should have won.
He pulled the highest score ever on Top Chef Masters with 19.5 Stars one week. He was never in the bottom three and brought new sense and style to the competition.
Hopefully they will bring him back to claim the title that is deservedly his.

Rustic Fruit Tart
Recipe created by Laura Pensiero
Oprah.com | From the August 2009 issue of
O, The Oprah Magazine
U-pick it—the filling, that is. This rustic fruit tart contains four cups of ripe summer berries and loads of sliced apples. The simple crust is folded around them before baking.
This recipe is from
The Real-Food Diet Mix-and-Match Meal Plan
Servings: Serves 6-8
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. plus 1/3 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 sticks cold butter , cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/3 cup orange juice
2 cups blackberries
2 cups raspberries
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
2 tsp. grated ginger
2 small apples , such as Granny Smith, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
1 orange , grated for its zest
2 egg yolks
Combine flour, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add butter, working it into mixture with a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse sand. Add orange juice; stir with a fork until dough holds together when squeezed. Shape it into a disk; cover with plastic wrap. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients except egg yolks, lightly crushing berries to moisten. Set aside. Working on a floured surface, roll out dough into a 12-inch circle, then transfer to a lightly greased baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix yolks with 1 tablespoon water to form an egg wash. Brush outer 2 inches of dough circle with wash. Arrange fruit in center of dough. Fold and loosely pleat dough around edges, brushing dough with egg wash to help pleats stick. Bake until fruit is bubbly and crust is deep golden, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool 10 minutes; serve warm or at room temperature. If desired, serve with ice cream on the side.
Recipe variations:
The key to this recipe's success is to have about 5 cups of fruit, but switch the fruit varieties with each season. Peaches and blueberries are a great combination, as are apricots and plums. (Roast the apricots before assembling the tart to intensify their natural sweetness.) In the fall and winter, use apples or pears with nuts and dried fruits, such as raisins or cranberries. Strawberry and rhubarb mark the beginning of spring.
If the fruit you use is particularly juicy, add a few extra pinches of cornstarch. To make individual tarts, divide the chilled dough disk into 6 small circles and proceed as above.
Leftovers make a good breakfast with low-fat plain or vanilla yogurt instead of ice cream.

When his boss brings up the issue, he explains that his wife won't let him read at home. His…

The move toward American Theocracy by the empowered evangelical 'elite' in the US has made it almost impossible for an atheist or difficult for a non-christian to be elected to office. Schools are having their curriculum undermined by creationist who wish to revise history, remove evolution from science, and prevent teaching sexual health and pregnancy prevention. Atheist fear reprisals for not being christian and are often discriminated against at work, socially, and most especially in…

Every so often, someone will tell me that atheists are impossible to debate, because they think they know it all. Someone will tell me that I am dismissing their claims before I have even heard them. They accuse me of shutting out the "evidence" they have to "prove" god's existence. They say I am doing what I accuse them of doing: sticking fingers in the ears and screaming, "La-La-la!

It's quite frustrating to read atheists writing and using the word god as a proper noun when it is a common noun. We expect theists to use it as a proper noun because they assume that the deity is real and specific.
A common noun is something that does not need to be capitalized and is not specific, examples are truck, house, dog, or man, whereas a common noun needs to be capitalized and is very specific such as Ford, the White House, Bulldog, or…

Death After Denying the Afterlife : The NDEs of Atheists

Death After Denying the Afterlife : The NDEs of Atheists
Death After Denying the Afterlife
The NDEs of Atheists Many religious people make the mistake of assuming that atheism is a one-way ticket to hell. The fact is that God cares very little about a person's religion or non-religion as revealed by some of the NDE accounts profiled on this website. The only thing that really matters is the spiritual condition of the heart. My experience has been that when an atheist tells me they don't believe in God, they really mean they don't believe in the Christian God or any God from any religion. From the NDE perspective, I can agree with this. Many atheists reject a spirit world for one reason or another and they generally do so because they have a strict scientific perspective of reality. Many scientific atheists devote their entire life studying the laws of nature and, to them, this may be their form of divine devotion whether they know it or not. In fact, because of this, I submit to you that a large percentage of such scientists are closer to spirituality than many religionists. The near-death experiences below are already profiled on this website elsewhere. The purpose of this web page is to group those atheists profiled on this website who had a near-death experience. This web page provides links to their near-death experience accounts. |

RE: Death After Denying the Afterlife : The NDEs of Atheists
I personally wouldn't have considered Jung an atheist. In the strictest sense of the word, non-theist, I guess it could be considered to be accurate, but I consider an atheist to be one who denies spiritual nature in general. Personally, my spiritual beliefs are akin to Jung's, and I haven't considered myself either agnostic or atheist.
Interesting stuff though, I'll have a look at some others soon. |

Yeah, the element is god awful ugly, I could never get past that.

I never say what I'm going to do until I get a price from them. That way they can think about giving up a little on the price and make it up on the financing.

I love how people always throw out the "I'm paying cash" to dealers. Do you think this actually makes them lower the price? Do you realize they get kick backs from the bank every time you finance with them?

Can it benefit my recovery?
Relationships and sexual activities are controversial in recovery from alcoholism, addiction and co-dependency. But there are benefits to sexual abstinence. These apply equally to heterosexual, gays and lesbian.
Sexual abstinence is a choice to refrain from sexual activity. This choice is usually made for a specific reason. The reason may be moral, religious, legal, or for health and safety.
It may only be short-term celibacy. It's fine to go through periods of your life in which you choose to abstain – the decision to have sex is yours to make, each and every time.
Abstaining does not mean you are frigid or destined for life as a monk or a nun – it may just be a temporary decision. Taking some time out for your body, mind, and spirit.
You may just need some headspace without the emotions and complications of sex. Maybe you have exams or something else important that you need to concentrate on, so you can't be up all night working through the Karma Sutra.
Everyone has a different definition of sexual abstinence. The most common meaning of sexual abstinence is not having sexual intercourse, vaginal or anal. Oral sex can be considered sexual activity and would therefore be included as an activity to stop if you make the decision to be abstinent.
Abstinence is common. Refraining from sexual intercourse, is a common practice all over the world. Women and men of all ages deliberately choose to abstain. Abstinence is a normal, common, and acceptable alternative to sexual intercourse.
Enjoy your sexuality. Abstinence doesn't have to mean switching off your sex drive completely. In fact, with a little imagination, abstinence can be very sexy. Instead of rushing into the act, it will make the smaller gestures such as hand holding, massages, bathing together, kissing, and touching all the more sensual.
Possible Benefits of Sexual Abstinence
- Sexual abstinence in early recovery may prevent emotional roller coaster.
- Sexual abstinence in early recovery removes one of the risks for relapse.
- You may enjoy a clear conscience with your Higher Power.
- Avoid vulnerable situations if you have a tendency to act on emotional impulses.
- Peace of mind in your life and future relationships.
- Abstinence prevents pregnancy.
- More self-respect and more respect for each other and respected by other people.
- No worries about Sexually Transmitted Diseases.
- Less stress: Think about it. No sex also means no worrying about your performance in the sack, who sleeps in the wet patch, how you look naked (unless you are a naturist), whether they're sleeping with someone else, whether you should sleep with someone else, whether to spit or swallow, screaming the wrong person's name and carpet burns.
- Get a life: Time and energy usually spent having sex, thinking about sex, and trying to get sex can instead be spent on more interesting things.
Common reasons for practicing sexual abstinence include:
- poor health – medical celibacy
- psycho-sociological reasons (e.g., clinical depression, social anxiety disorder, increasing testosterone in males, or negative past experiences),
- legal injunctions requiring conformity.
- circumstantial reasons such as incarceration or geographical isolation.
- to focus on other matters – sublimation
- inability to find a suitable sexual partner – involuntary celibacy
- religious or philosophical reasons
- physically or emotionally unprepared (such as early recovery)
Have I left anything out?

Composed Salads - Home Cooking Dish of the Month (August 2013)
Welcome to the reporting thread for the August Dish of the Month. This month we will be composing salads. Please share your composed salads with us on this thread. Share your ingredients, your method, your outcome. Especially this month, as the visual aspect is so important in a composed salad, please share your photos!
I have to admit, I had my fingers crossed for a month of license to eat ice cream, but you all chose the healthier alternative. All the better, I'm sure!
If you are reporting on a recipe, please remember to paraphrase if it is not your own; verbatim copying of recipes to the boards is a violation of the copyright of the original author. Posts with copied recipes will be removed.
All are welcome to join in. If you haven't participated before, or if you've been lurking, please jump right in. Feel free to ask questions too.
Ready, set, compose!
Shrimp Salad with Curry Dressing
Last night I was tired after a long hot day and a long drive, so I just didn't feel like cooking. Salad sounded perfect for dinner, and I figured it might as well be composed.
While I chopped, I marinated shrimp in olive oil, rice vinegar, a little lime juice, garlic, and ground curry spices. Around the plate went pineapple, avocado, red pepper, red onion, and a pile of mixed greens. Once the shrimp was added, the remaining dressing was drizzled over everything. Shrimp and greens were topped with toasted sliced almonds.
Not bad, the dressing/marinade worked nicely on the shrimp, but may have been a little too sharp and hot on the greens. But all in all, a nice, easy meal.
Well, tonight's dinner is another chef's salad (see pix from above post). So good with fresh garden (and oh, so sweet tomatoes), as well as all the other same bells and whistles (ham, turkey, eggs, swiss and cheddar cheese) all atop crisp lettuce. Mine will be topped with bacon ranch with bacon bits, DH most likely with catalina and 1,000 island.
I made another Nicoise version for today's lunch for six. Lined large square plate with Boston lettuce leaves, potato/dill/caper salad in the middle and around in groups: yellow and red tomato wedges, yellow beans, roasted red peppers, anchovy deviled eggs and a handful or two of mixed olives. Very pretty plate and tasty components. I love doing deconstructed salads and this thread inspired me even further!
A very fishy composed salad - butter lettuce with canned wild Alaskan sockeye, King Oscar sardines in oil, pickled onions, pickled hot yellow peppers, blue cheese, sliced avocado and avocado/tomato salsa.
"Clean Out the Fridge" composed salad.
I was leaving town for a couple of weeks and a friend was coming for lunch before we rented U-Haul and drove all over picking her new stuff (she just moved and afraid to drive a truck). I wasn't making anything new but pulled out leftovers for a composed salad.
Lined plates with big leaves of leafy lettuce and arranged as artfully as possible on the top of greens:
cucumber and tomato slices
potato salad
corn and peach salad
eggplant and feta salad (an amazing dish from Jerusalem that is not a salad but I made it into one)
devilled egg
tuna from a can (lovely Italian tuna in OO)It turned out much better than I expected: visually attractive and very tasty. Thank you, Gretchen, for the inspiration!
For my son's 12th birthday dinner : a composed Greek salad to go with his request of lamb chops for dinner. The salad was romaine mixed with mâché & baby lettuces, zebra heirloom tomatoes, toasted pine nuts & crumbled French feta cheese, dressed lightly in a lemon-herb vinaigrette. We had an olive relish served with the racks of lamb, so there were no olives in the salad :) No leftovers!
Another chef's salad, this one with roxlet's delicious green goddess dressing (linked below). Tasty although I was very sad that the tomato I planned to use had gone bad -- a summer tomato would have made it fantastic!
I can't join the current DOTM due to shellfish allergies so I will just keep going on this one for awhile.
roxlet's green goddess dressing: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/9152...
re: Dirtywextraolives
I'm with the two of you on this month's DOTM. Although I love clams, it's not something I cook at home. I don't have immediate access fresh clams and mussels. So last night I made a dinner caesar salad with blackened chicken. So refreshing and tasty. Should have taken a photo. But Gretchen, your salad looks lovely.
Well, I don't know if this "technically" qualifies as a composed salad, but it was somewhat layered. Asian Chicken Salad. So refreshing and yummy. Did it like a "7 layer salad" with coleslaw on the bottom, sesame oiled cooked cold spaghetti noodles, bias cut green onions, julliened green & yellow peppers, bias cut celery and thinly sliced chicken breast, topped with a bottled asian sesame salad dressing. Tossed at the very end. It definitely hit the spot.
I made this one a couple of nights ago; I called it a 'NW-meets-Italian Nicoise...
Spinach leaves tossed with an orange-dijon vinaigrette, then topped with a rare-seared tuna steak, crusted with cracked peppercorns and toasted fennel seeds done on the grill.
A soft boiled egg, 1/2'd cherry tomatoes, roasted red pepper slivers, a little crumbled feta, a dribble of more dressing and a dab of lemon/dill aioli on the tuna to finish.
Side of crostini's and tapenade, it hit the spot!
Salmon Salade Niçoise. I used the hb egg and anchovy to make a deviled egg which was really nice. Can't decide if I prefer the classic tuna version or the salmon version -- they are both so good. This only worked for a weeknight because I had the green beans, hb egg and potato salad as well as the vinaigrette already made. You can see I was too lazy to wash lettuce for underneath!
re: GretchenS
Your post inspired me to make potato salad today very similar to yours - cider vinegar, Dijon, capers, olive oil and about a tablespoon of mayo - so yummy :)
I also made corn/peach salad and an eggplant one from Jerusalem - it is a salad day at casa mia :) Just not a composed one...
Chef Salad. Fabulous ham and turkey from the posh deli, FM cherry tomatoes, avocado and hb egg on a bed of crispy romaine and radicchio with a lemon-dijon-caper vinaigrette. Really yummy, the radicchio worked well to balance the sweet tomatoes and ham. I am so glad to rediscover the composed salads I have made this month, I had lost track of how good they are.
Had one left over Duck Confit from earlier night, not enough for 2, so decided to make a salad from leftover roast vegies.. into a Confit de canard Pumpkin salad.
Home Made Duck Confit
Roasted Pumpkin
Roasted Pear
Roasted Garlic
cheap Balsamic reduction, Maple Syrup with a drop of Mustard and dash of garlic infused olive oil.
Next time should add some Walnuts or Pine Nuts and Corn flakes. but the Dressing was really good! -
The nomination thread for September is now up here:
http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/913955In the meantime, keep making those beautiful composed salads!
Watermelon-Shishito Pepper Salad
Does a tiny "composed" salad count?
I thought I'd post because this was delicious and refreshing. I'm planning to do a platter-sized version at an upcoming dinner party.
The base was a bed of lettuce (arugula and some errant frisee found in its bag). Chunks of sweet, ripe watermelon got plunked on top and some roasted shishito peppers placed along the edges. A generous squeeze of fresh lime and sprinkle of "lemon flake" salt (from a gift assortment of fancy salts), and that was it.
I meant to add a few fresh cherries I had on hand, but forgot. But I'm sure they'd have been good on this. As would mango chunks and/or feta, slivered red onion, fresh basil. My husband suggested bacon. Hmm. Possibly.
Lobster-Avocado-Egg Salad
When a nearby supermarket had BOGO special on whole cooked lobsters, I grabbed two small ones (for a total of $12.98). I picked the lobsters and tossed the meat with the juice of 1/2 lemon and then again with about 2 T mayo and 1 T chopped chives and S & P. I tossed some sliced red onion and tomato wedges with olive oil and red wine vinegar.
The lobster salad got divided and spooned onto two platefuls of lettuce (red leaf and baby romaine). Wedges of hard-boiled egg and slices of avocado got arranged, along with the tomato wedges, around the lobster. I spooned the slightly marinated red onion over the top of the salad, and, voilà, lunch--slightly luxe, low-carb, and delicious!
Gado Gado!

No pictures but lots of different ways to present - have layered this in a straight-sided glass bowl or arranged on a platter or on individual salad plates
Leftovers Composée
I adapted ideas from several other posters in this thread, and I outright stole stockholm28's dressing! This salad had grilled salmon, butter lettuce, steamed Romano beans, potatoes and shaved fennel with aioli, cherry tomatoes, and a fresh corn and shiitake relish. All topped with the anchovy-caper vinaigrette.
Very fresh and summery! -
Yesterday morning I made a 7 layer salad for dinner. 1: lettuce with shaved carrots and red cabbage. 2: frozen green peas. 3: diced water chestnuts. 4: sliced green onions. 5: mayonnaise. 6: grated parmesan cheese. 7: light dusting of sugar. To go with the salad, we had some pizza biscuits. Was kind of fun to be creative with each one.
Tonight's HC DOTM evolved from the remnants of last night's dinner. It is more of a Fusion Composed Salad, if that still counts!
I took leftover roast salmon and placed atop shredded romaine that had been lightly dressed with a lemon vinaigrette. A slice of heirloom tomato and bufala mozzarella is next to the salmon. A few roasted baby potatoes, asparagus spears and zucchini slices are on the other side. A few pitted kalamata olives are also present, with a final splash of sherry vinegar to perk things up a bit, and a dollop of roasted garlic mayo to dip the fish and potatoes in.
Sounded and tasted good; not so much for the pic!
This one is years of modification, I think I've got a good balance now...
Boil orzo
while that is going on, in a (very) large bowl, put in...
a few TBSP of olive oil and a clove or two of minced garlic
halved cherry tomatoes
julienned yellow and orange bell pepper
halved and thinly sliced hothouse cucumber
very thin sliced red onion
halved and pitted kalamata olives
chopped fresh Italian parsley (and mint, if you wish)
cover veggies with LOTS of crumbled fetaDrain orzo, while still hot, pour over veggies and feta, mix roughly (so the feta kind of melts and coats the orzo)
Refrigerate for a few hours. Serve with Greek Vinagrette.
(You can omit the pasta if you are doing low-carb)Better the next day, when the soft middle of the tomatoes has worked it's way out, and cheesy orzo filled the flesh.
This is my composition of deconstruction salad, or it'll just go by destruction salad in my house in the future. It's a lot of the components you would find in a Vietnamese style spring roll, unrolled. Pork marinated in soy and fish sauces, bird chili, lemongrass and ginger. Mixed lettuce with basil and mint, fried glass noodles, carrots, green onion, peanuts and cukes. Dressing is spicy peanut sauce.
Assembly is a bit sloppy:( Sadly, I was in a hurry to plate before The Bachelorette came on. -
Here's a Salade Nicoise from August two years ago when I was fortunate enough to have fresh homegrown Sungold tomatoes, Romano beans, and wax beans; lettuce and baby Yukon Gold potatoes from the CSA; and to top it all, an 80-pound yellowfin tuna caught by my husband on vacation in Cabo and pan-seared at home! (The Kalamata olives and eggs were the only store-bought parts!) IIRC, the dressing was something similar to the one used here: http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/...
Hoping we can snag another tuna next week! -
Salade Niçoise
There is a reason this is such a classic – it's yummy! A bit time-consuming because of all the prep but oh so good. I realized halfway through eating it that I forgot to strew some capers over it all but was too lazy to get up and get them. And I had a fortuitous jar of ventresca tuna in the pantry but any light (eg, non-white) oil-packed tuna would be good too. Went very well with a nice dry NZ sauvignon blanc.-
re: herby
Well, I did sort of composed salad. I made dressing with lemon, cider vinegar, ginger, garlic, mustard, salt, maple syrup and olive oil. Tossed greens, cherry tomatoes, chives and green onions with the dressing and arranged in the middle of the platter. On the sides went just picked sliced cukes and long green pepper, slices of roasted chicken breast and assorted olives. We also had sushi rolls on the side that my daughter brought for lunch. It all went together, maybe a little weird but nice :)
BTW, my daughter asked if she could take dressing home and I had to make another batch since none was left.
I like the combination of steamed rapini/broccoli rabe, tomato and avocado with a balsamic vinaigrette.
Or sometimes I will just have the rapini and avocado with baked tofu slices (marinated in soy sauce, honey, garlic, sriracha, lemon juice and nutritional yeast) and leftover marinade as the dressing..
One I enjoy is wedges of ripe tomato, wedges of avocado, and very thinly sliced sweet onion topped with a drizzle of a peanut oil/Maille Dijon/white wine vinegar vinaigrette and a little moist grey salt. If I have them on hand I may add asparagus (steamed or roasted) and/ or roasted red bell pepper.
Warm Salad of Green Beans, Poached Egg, and Ravigote Dressing.
This is another recipe from "The Well-Dressed Salad" by Jennifer Joyce.
This was delicious ... definitely a keeper.
The dressing is 2 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp red wine vinegar, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 175 ml peanut oil, 1 Tbsp chopped capers, 1 Tbsp finely chopped flat leaf parsley, 2 finely chopped sprigs of tarragon, and 1 Tbsp finely chopped shallot.
the rest of the ingredients are:
200 grams green beans
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp white wine vinegar
4 eggsCook the beans until al dente and put in ice water to keep color. You can do this in advance.
Make the dressing.
Before serving, warm the green beans in the olive oil in pan.
Poach the eggs one at a time in water w/ 1 T of vinegar.
To serve, place green beans on plate, top with egg, and drizzle with dressing.
Salads are not in the cards for me this month since I am spending it either travelling or eating with kids and these kids do not like salads very much, composed or otherwise. I have a feeling that before August is over we'll have huge quantities of tomatoes to deal with. Tomato plants are over five feet tall, laden with fruit and still flowering! And there are many plants since this is my daughter's first veg garden and they looked so small as seedlings :) And, no, of course she didn't listen to my words of reason - why would she ? :)
I will be lurking and making notes of your fabulous salads hoping that come Sep we'll choose something "tomato" to play with.
Happy cooking!
re: L.Nightshade
I would love to participate - will see how it goes :) Kids are not easy - they do not care for many dressings (love balsamic of all things) and between allergies, mom's rules and preferences not the easiest to cook new dishes for. Take the wonderful salad that stockholm28 posted; dairy is a no-no and the kids won't touch anchovy, not sure about capers - but without these ingredients it will not be the same salad....
I had to look up what a "composed salad" was (since I always thought my salads were level-headed, temperate and collected(from the garden).
Imagine my surprise when I found that I had unknowingly made one earlier this week: Slices of Suyo cucumber and Pink Oxheart tomato layered around a glop of Telleme cheese, with two dressing choices. Sorry, but no picture was taken.
re: DonShirer
You can get some inspiration by looking at Google images for composed salad: http://www.google.com/search?q=compos...
Or images for cobb salad, chef's sald, etc.
Green Bean, Tomato, and Mozzarella Salad with Anchovy, Caper, and Garlic Dressing
My first salad in a month that is going to have a lot of vegetables. This is from a cookbook called "The Well-Dressed Salad" by Jennifer Joyce and I'm planning to use it a lot this month. I've had this cookbook for years, but have never made anything from it. When I lived in London, I took several cooking classes at the Books for Cooks shop from Jennifer and love her food and her book "Diva Cooking", so I picked this up on a visit a few years back.
The salad is composed of green beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion, mozzarella (recipe calls for bocconcini, but I just had large mozzarella), and fresh basil.
The dressing is 1 chopped anchovy, 10 chopped capers, 1 finely chopped garlic clove, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 125 ml red wine vinegar, and 7 Tbsp EVOO
I liked the salad (What's not to like ... it really is just a glorified Caprese). I had some really nice fresh mozzarella from Blue Ridge Dairy that I bought at my local farmer's market. I would probably adjust the ratio of oil to vinegar in the dressing (less vinegar) if I made it again.

7. Among such as these, at that unstable period of my life, I studied books of eloquence, wherein I was eager to be eminent from a damnable and inflated purpose, even a delight in human vanity. In the ordinary course of study, I lighted upon a certain book of Cicero, whose language, though not his heart, almost all admire. This book of his contains an exhortation to philosophy, and is called Hortensius. This book, in truth, changed my affections, and turned my prayers to Thyself, O Lord, and made me have other hopes and desires. Worthless suddenly became every vain hope to me; and, with an incredible warmth of heart, I yearned for an immortality of wisdom,1 and began now to arise2 that I might return to Thee. Not, then, to improve my language—which I appeared to be purchasing with my mother's means, in that my nineteenth year, my father having died two years before—not to improve my language did I have recourse to that book; nor did it persuade me by its style, but its matter.
8. How ardent was I then, my God, how ardent to fly from earthly things to Thee! Nor did I know how Thou wouldst deal with me. For with Thee is wisdom. In Greek the love of wisdom is called "philosophy,"3 with which that book inflamed me. There be some who seduce through philosophy, under a great, and alluring, and honourable name colouring and adorning their own errors. And almost all who in that and former times were such, are in that book censured and pointed out. There is also disclosed that most salutary admonition of Thy Spirit, by Thy good and pious servant: "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ: for in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily."4 And since at that time (as Thou, O Light of my heart, knowest) the words of the apostle were unknown to me, I was delighted with that exhortation, in so far only as I was thereby stimulated, and enkindled, and inflamed to love, seek, obtain, hold, and embrace, not this or that sect, but wisdom itself, whatever it were; and this alone checked me thus ardent, that the name of Christ was not in it. For this name, according to Thy mercy, O Lord, this name of my Saviour Thy Son, had my tender heart piously drunk in, deeply treasured even with my mother's milk; and whatsoever was without that name, though never so erudite, polished, and truthful, took not complete hold of me.
[1 ]Up to the time of Cicero the Romans employed the term sapientia for ϕιλοσοϕια (Monboddo's Ancient Metaphys i. 5). It is interesting to watch the effect of the philosophy in which they had been trained on the writings of some of the Fathers. Even Justin Martyr, the first after the "Apostolic," has traces of this influence. See the account of his search for "wisdom," and conversion, in his Dialogue with Trypho, ii. and iii.

This page is about the notion of index in analysis/operator algebra. For other notions see elsewhere.
noncommutative topology, noncommutative geometry
noncommutative stable homotopy theory
genus, orientation in generalized cohomology
AQFT and operator algebra
The notion of index was originally defined
as an invariant correction of the kernel of such an operator (namely corrected by the cokernel). The definition has particularly nice properties in the special case
where it coincides with the partition function of supersymmetric quantum mechanics.
More generally the resulting notion is abstractly characterized as being the pairing operation (composition)
Even more generally, in generalized cohomology theory indices are given by genera and universal orientation in generalized cohomology, such as for instance the elliptic genus for elliptic cohomology and the Witten genus for tmf. See at genus for more on this generalized notion of indices.
The analytical index of an elliptic differential operator is defined to be the the difference between the dimension of its kernel and that of its cokernel.
One reason why this is an interesting invariant of an elliptic differential operator is that when deforming the operator by a compact operator then the dimension of both the kernel and the cokernel may change, but their difference remains the same. Hence one may think of the analytic index as a "corrected" version of its kernel, such as to make it be more invariant.
On the other hand, the topological index of an elliptic differential operator , is defined to be the pairing of the cup product of its Chern character and the Todd class of the base manifold with its fundamental class.
More generally such analytic and topological indices are defined for Fredholm operators.
The Atiyah-Singer index theorem assert that these two notios of index are in fact equal.
If the Fredholm operator in question happens to be a Dirac operator (such as that encoding the dynamics of a spinning particle or more generally the supercharge of a system in supersymmetric quantum mechanics) then the index of coincides with the partition function of this quantum mechanical system, namely the super-trace of the heat kernel of the corresponding Hamiltonian Laplace operator (Berline-Getzler-Vergne 04).
Let be a compact Riemannian manifold and a smooth super vector bundle and indeed a Clifford module bundle over . Consider a Dirac operator
with components (with respect to the -grading) to be denoted
where . Then is a Fredholm operator and its index is the supertrace of the kernel of , as well as of the heat kernel of :
This appears as (Berline-Getzler-Vergne 04, prop. 3.48, prop. 3.50), based on (MacKean-Singer 67).
If one thinks of as the time-evolution Hamiltonian of a system of supersymmetric quantum mechanics with the supercharge on the worldline, then is the space of supersymmetric quantum states, is the Euclidean time evolution operator and its supertrace is the partition function of the system. Hence we have the translation
The abstract universal characterization of indices is: the index is the pairing in KK-theory/E-theory.
More in detail, by the discussion there KK-theory (E-theory) is the category which is the additive and split exact localization of the category C*Alg of C*-algebras at the compact operators. For the base C*-algebra of complex numbers the morphisms in this category have the following equivalent meaning:
morphisms are operator K-cohomology classes which are represented by "vector bundles over the space represented by ", namely by Hilbert modules over ;
morphisms are K-homology classes which are represented by Fredholm operators ;
the composition
in the category (hence the Kasparov product) is the index of the Fredholm operator twisted by .
More generally, if is some other chosen base C*-algebra then is the group of Fredholm operators on Hilbert module bundles over the C*-algebra , and one takes the pairing
to be the index map relative . (See e.g. Schick 05, section 6.) This is the case that the Mishchenko-Fomenko index theorem applies to.
And hence even more generally one may regard any composition in as as a generalized index map. Via the universal characterizatin of itself, this then gives a fundamental and general abstract characterization of the notion of index:
The index pairing is the composition operation in the KK-localization of C*Alg, hence in noncommutative stable homotopy theory.

The California Department of Fish and Game closed the 2012 black bear hunting season Dec. 18.
Under regulations adopted by the Fish and Game Commission, the black bear season must be closed when DFG verifies 1,700 bears are taken by hunters or on the last Sunday in December, whichever occurs first. As of Dec. 18, the DFG determined the 1,700 limit has been met. Tags yet to be received by DFG will put the total harvest at slightly more than 1,700 bears.
DFG has mailed notices to all bear tag holders informing them that the season is closed. DFG wardens, biologists and customer service staff will also inform hunters they encounter that the season is closed. Statewide media sources and the California Fish and Game Commission have also been notified.
All bear tags, including unsuccessful tags, must be returned to the DFG Wildlife Branch, P.O. Box 944209, Sacramento, CA 94299-0002, by Feb. 1, 2013. Tags can also be reported online by logging into the Automated Data Licensing System. More details can be found at dfg.ca.gov/licensing/harvestreporting.
Hunters must present their bears to a DFG employee for tag validation immediately after taking the bear. Furthermore, successful hunters must present the skull to a DFG employee within 10 days of taking the bear to collect biological samples. Teeth and hair samples are extracted from the bears to determine the age of the bear and provide DNA information that will give DFG biologists an indication about the overall health of the state's bear population.

1959 Mercedes-Benz 190SL Roadster
Chassis no. 1210428500661
Alongside its hyper-expensive race-bred sports car - the 300SL - Mercedes-Benz offered the less exotic but no less refined 190SL. Announced in 1954 and based on the 180 saloon whose all-independently-suspended running gear it used, the 190SL did not enter production until January 1955, the delay being caused by alterations aimed at strengthening the saloon's shortened platform to compensate for the open body's reduced stiffness. Mounted on a detachable sub-frame along with the four-speed manual gearbox, front suspension and steering, the power unit was a 1,897cc overhead-camshaft four - the first such engine ever to feature in a Mercedes-Benz. Breathing through twin Solex downdraft carburettors, the M121 unit produced 105bhp DIN (120bhp SAE) at 5,700rpm, an output sufficient to propel the 190SL to 100km/h (62mph) in 14.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 171km/h (106mph). With its four-speed, all-synchromesh gearbox, servo-assisted hydraulic drum brakes and fully independent suspension, the 190SL was both more refined and more comfortable than any British sports car. The model was a big hit in the USA where many of the slightly fewer than 26,000 produced between 1955 and 1963 found homes.
The 190SL offered here was delivered new to Stockholm in April 1959 and first owned by one Åke Nils Johanzon, who used it only in summertime when the weather was good. Following Mr Johanzon's death in 1973, the car remained in storage until around 1980, passing to his son, Ulf Anders Åke Johanzon. Philipsson, the agent for Mercedes-Benz in Sweden, sent the engine to Germany for renovation in 1983 (see invoice on file). Ulf Johanzon used the 190SL rarely, and the car had been laid up in storage for some years when the current owner bought it in September 2004 and brought it to Belgium. During the winter of 2005 the 190SL underwent major refurbishment in Brussels and prior to registration in Belgium was checked for roadworthiness, passing the Contrôle Technique on 28th April 2005. The accompanying Certificat d'Immatriculation is dated 26th May 2005. Also on file is a letter from the second owner, stating that the car had covered fewer than 48,000 kilometres, probably much less, when sold in 2004 and no more than 10,000 since the engine rebuild. The current owner has driven it only some 1,000 kilometres or less. Finished in black with red interior, this car represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a classic Mercedes-Benz soft-top possessing impeccable provenance and in original condition.
Alternative plus abordable et plus pratique à la surpuissante 300 SL et dotée du quatre-cylindres à 1 ACT de la berline 180 poussé à 105 ch, le cabriolet 190 SL atteignait 170 km/h en silence et dans le confort. Livrée neuve à Stockholm en avril 1959, cette 190 SL resta dans la même famille jusqu'en 2004 (avec rénovation du moteur en 1983), conduite seulement par beau temps, avant de passer aux mains du propriétaire actuel qui la fit restaurer en 2005 en Belgique. Peinte en noir avec intérieur en cuir rouge, cette attachante190 SL en rarissime état d'origine est une belle opportunité d'acquérir une grande classique des années 1950.

I have used BluePark for a while now and I am very impressed with the service, the IT and how easy it is to use.
I have been able to build an outstanding company website with little knowledge in web design that has helped me reach out and grow my business.
When ever I have had any questions about my site the staff and support has been second to non.
I can not stress how helpful and easy to use BluePark has been for my company.
I would recommend Bluepark every time - some websites promise easy to use functions and do not deliver. BluePark does and more!
Thank you Bluepark
