All Natural, Safe Homemade Cleaning Recipes
Recipes from the following fantastic books:
Annie Berthold-Bond's Better Basics for the Home
Renee Loux's Easy Green Living
What we don't want that is found in most store cleaners:
Cleaning can be an exciting experience if you are well prepared...
A word from Building Biologist Jeanie McLoughlin
The Pure Cleaning Theme Song
the cleaning essentials:
1. Baking Soda (sodium bicarbonate):
Cleaning benefit: mild scouring powder, neutralizes odor, degreaser.
Point of interest: acid salt, serves as a mild alkali, great for your septic system! (with water is a good scrubber for tiles, sinks, etc.)
(mix 1 teaspoon with detergent to boost its action.)
2. Vinegar:
Cleaning benefits: degreaser, emulsifier, inhibits mold growth.
Point of interest: contains disinfecting properties.(distilled white), Use vinegar in place of bleach,
3. Certified Organic Castile Soap:
Cleaning benefit: contains disinfecting properties, vegetable-oil-based liquid soap. Point of interest: certified organic, safe for all skin types.
(I recommend dr. bronners or vermont soap co.)
4. whole lemons, for a lemony fresh scent! (I recommend yellow)
5. a bottle of club soda
6. Oxygen Bleach Powder or Hydrogen Peroxide (sodium per carbonate):
Cleaning benefit: whitening agent, contains disinfecting properties.
Point of interest: disinfecting properties. Helps remove stains
7. Grapefruit seed extract (available at most natural markets and online)
8. Other Antiseptic Essential Oils:
cinnamon, clove, lavender, lemon, lemongrass, lime, oregano, rosemary, tea tree and thyme.
Essential oils have long been known for their disinfecting properties; many are antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antimicrobial, and/or antiseptic. Used together with ingredients like baking soda, vinegar and castile soap you have a sure defense against germs in your home.
9. Vodka
AND THE HEAVY HITTERS (still safe)
10. Borax (sodium borate): heavy duty alkaline cuts grease with a vengeance
Cleaning benefit: deodorizer, soap booster, stain remover, inhibits mold growth.
Point of interest: naturally occurring mineral. – disinfects
11. washing soda, (wear gloves when working with washing soda, heavy duty alkaline, cuts grease and grime with a vengeance)
The home-made cleaning recipes
General Disinfecting Dream Recipe from Renee Loux's Easy Green Living
1/4 cup vodka, 1/2 cup 3 percent hydrogen peroxide (the drugstore stuff), 5 drops grapefruit seed extract (optional), 10 drops essential oil of lavender (optional) and 5 drops essential oil of lemon (optional). Combine all, mix don't shake. Spray and wipe or spray and let it dry. This will keep indefinitely
Fruit & Veggie Wash:
Ovens: baking soda & washing soda
Pots & Pans: baking soda, liquid soap, (extra strength: vinegar, powdered oxygen bleach)
2 table spoons of baking soda on the bottom of a mucky pot or pan. Add 2 inches or so of hot water and a little squirt of dish soap. Let it stand for 10 to 15 minutes before scrubbing. 1 table spoon baking soda for every 2 inch rise in water. (Renee Loux, Easy Green Living)
extra strength: same as above but add 1/4 cup distilled vinegar. It will foam like mad. Push the mixture around with a wooden spoon to coat the food caked on bottom and sides. Add 2 inches of hot water and a little squirt of dish soap. Let it stand for 10-15 minutes before scrubbing. (Renee Loux, Easy Green Living)
stains on porcelain casserole dishes. powdered oxygen bleach puts muscle into the cleaning. Sprinkle 1 tspoon each of oxygen bleach powder and baking soda in the dish (use 2 teaspoons each for larger dishes or really tough jobs. Fill dish with hot water and swirl to dissolve the powders. Let it stand for 10-15 before scrubbing. (Renee Loux, Easy Green Living)
Tub and tile: baking soda, liquid soap and vinegar
Toilet bowl: borax (+vinegar for extra strength)
Furniture: olive oil & vinegar
Mix olive oil and vinegar in a one-to-one ratio and polish with a soft cloth.
Windows: vinegar (for extra strength add liquid soap)
Put three tablespoons of vinegar per one quart water in a spray bottle. For extra-dirty windows, try 1/2 teaspoon of liquid soap, 3 tablespoons of vinegar, and 2 cups of water. Shake well.

11 cups
dry milk powder
1 (8 ounce) container
powdered non-dairy creamer
2 1/2 cups
confectioners' sugar
1 (16 ounce) container
instant chocolate drink mix
This recipe was tasty, but I made a few changes. Although it is very creamy and sweet, it wasn't chocolaty enough. Instead of a 16 oz. container of chocolate milk mix, I bought a bigger container and ended up using three full cups. Then I also added 1/4 cup of cocoa for a richer taste and a darker color. Lastly, I used 1/2 cup of regular creamer, and 1/2 cup of French Vanilla flavored creamer. The end result was great, and I made 48 decorated mason mugs full of this mix for our school's Santa's Workshop. In the instructions, I also added a variation: "for a delicious mocha flavor, add 1/2 tsp. of instant coffee". My 10 year old son LOVED making these with me! Very easy for kids and not much mess.
I'm not sure why this is a 4 star rating when almost everyone has had to change it significantly. I tried a small batch of this as suggested in the recipe and it turned out to be milky hot water with a hint of chocolate in it. I then followed others advice and it turned out wonderfully, but let's give credit where it's due, to the reviewer who suggested upping it to 3 cups chocolate mix, adding 1/4 cup cocoa and half the cream be french vanilla flavor. When I made it that way, it turned from a flavorless mystery drink into a nice gift for my family.
46 Ratings
This is a wonderful mix. I did as others advised and used 3 C. chocolate drink mix (I used Nestle's Quick) and added a heaping 1/4 C. cocoa. This was wonderful. It made one of those 1 1/2 gallon ziploc bags full. I am giving as Christmas gifts and have already recieved many compliments. I bought the clear gift (treat) bags from the dollar store and put the mix in there and tied with pretty ribbon. Stuck the mix in pretty mugs with a tag and voila! Instant gift. You might want to put on the tag "mix with either hot water or for a cremier hot chocolate use hot milk). BTW, it is much prettier if you will add a few mini marshmallows on the top of the mix-the color contrast of the white marshmallows looks great in the bags. Thanks Fran! I'm making the 3rd batch tonight.
I too had to tweak this a bit for my own taste as follows:
11 cups dry milk powder
2 1/2-3 cups confectioners' sugar (to taste..after mixed try a cup if not sweet enough add more )
1-1 1/2 C. cocoa powder
1 (32 ounce) container instant chocolate drink mix
1 (8 ounce) container powdered non-dairy Chocolate creamer
1 (8 ounce) container powdered non-dairy French Vanilla creamer
I've used this mix and variations for many years. Here's one bit of advice I'd give, please use high quality ingredients. Milk or creamer with an off flavor will adversely affect the mix. I often add more cocoa powder or an excellent quality baking chocolate powder to boost the chocolate flavor. Sometimes I use a little less creamer to reduce the fat content. You can also successfully reduce the sugar content by using Splenda for part of the sugar.
This recipe is great! I made a different mix last year that was awful! This is a keeper!!! I added 3 cups of chocolate drink mix like other's suggested, and used half regular creamer and half french vanila....YUMMY! It tastes just like the gourmet hot chocolate mix I bought last year! Everyone in my family loves it! No more store bought packets for us anymore!
This was a wonderful recipe. I followed the previous advice and add Nestle Quick mix and i used 4 oz chocolate creamer and 4 oz french vanilla creamer and it was great. I also added cocoa to make it darker in color. I also bought mini Hershey's kisses to drop in the cup and it made it even better.
My family enjoys it and says it's better than the store bought. Also, I tried it with liquid french vanilla creamer in each cup I make and that taste wonderful.
Great recipe.
I changed this recipe quite a bit, but it was still an awesome base. I just added a bunch more chocolate powder and nesquick. This is so good, I can't even being to tell you how much I love it. i put it in jars layered with marshmallows for gifts and they're a big hit!

Taxman warns on phone fraud
Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs is warning people not to fall for unsolicited phone calls claiming to be offering tax rebates. The scammers, mirroring an almost identical email spam campaign, phone up and request bank details in order to pay over the tax rebate. If the mark is gullible enough to hand over bank details they …
"bank details" and "websites which were sending out the spam"
By "bank details" do you mean account name and number? That stuff isn't really secret; companies have it printed on their letterheads. What exactly were the crooks doing with the "details" in this case?
Also, I didn't realise that websites sent out spam, or any kind of e-mail. I thought SMTP clients did that.
Is this supposed to be a tech website?
"We only ever contact customers who are due a tax refund in writing by post"?
I call bullshit on that - I had a call from my local tax office a couple of years ago telling me I was due a refund (I'd been paying emergency tax for 3 years!). I gave no personal information and got a mahoosive (to me, anyway) cheque through the post a week or so later.
Unusual though.
PAYE overpayments are repaid by cheque without contacting the taxpayer first (unless more info is needed).
It certainly isn't standard practice.
honey pots needed
What we need is an officially sanctioned supply of honey pot bank and credit card account details. Accounts that if accessed trigger a automatic visit from local law enforcement. Poisoning their haul with fake account details is a moments fun but doesn't get the bastards locked up.
agreed then give those details to hmrc to pay tax bill!!!
lets see what happens then....
... their details will probably then be sold on to other crooks
Crooks other than the tax people?
I object..
..to providing my bank details on my tax return, not even knowing whether there is a rebate or not. I know it's a trivial issue, because I'm sure that the banks would roll over and provide bank account details to a suitable request from HM Customs and Revenue, but it just feels wrong.
Let them send me a cheque if I am owed money. Don't know what will happen when cheques are withdrawn, but I'll face that one when I come across it.
I wouldn't worry so much
If you receive interest on the bank account, the bank already supplies details of the account to HMRC as a matter of course, so they already know about it.
Re I object.
There still a box you can tick if you want a repayment by cheque.
How timely.
We had one of those phone calls this morning.
The tax office, going out of their way to try and give you money they owe?
I wouldn't have thought anyone would fall for an obvious scam like that
I have always been curious about how, by giving someone your 'bank details' (presumably account number and sort code), someone can take your money. I always thought this would only help them deposit money... Maybe I am missing something, can anyone enlighten me?
Direct debit
It's easily done...they can use these details to set up a direct debit the same way as any legit company.
All they need is a signed DD mandate which is not too hard to fake.
the unfortunate answer
Unfortunately the bank system is very trusting and was designed for a time when only well established, honorable banks and large corporations had access to the banking network. Anyone authorized on the bank network can make withdrawals from any account without any further permission and the system is designed to fix the odd mistake by having the victim complain about the withdrawal after the fact. The system is designed to handle the odd typo is slipped in by Vesa/Mastercard or the utility company.
The problem is when you start to throw ewallet/echeque compannes into the mix. Paypal/Neteller etc will do the honorable thing and make a small deposit into the account you specify to ensure that you entered the correct bank details before taking money. They do that voluntarily to avoid support nightmares and to avoid getting too many complains with the banks.
Now throw in the dodgy companies. They don't check anything and will make a withdrawal on any account you specify because they expect the person starting the transaction to have done all of the right checks. If they get too many complaints from the banks they will terminate your account to avoid the bank doing it to them but a wink and a nod later and you have a new account and can continue being a menace until you rack up too many complaints again. Each cycle means they keep some of the money in case of chargebacks from the closed account to collect interest on for the next 6 months so they are very motivated to keep the cycle going.
I know in Canada there is a refund scam where they tell you they are your bank offering a refund for some stolen money and then start a recording where you authorize a draft of xxx amount to your account . If you complain they will berate you because everyone knows that draft means do deposit (hint: it doesn't) and now we have to start the whole recording over again so please save any questions for after we are done. They rely on you not knowing bank jargon (well that and most of their victims are senior citizens) so when you complain they will happily show the bank your recording authorizing the whole transaction.
Didn't Jeremy Clarkson
think the same thing, and got proved wrong?

Going forward, by giving back
- Written by Tri-State Defender Newsroom

Special to the Tri-State Defender
The boy's basketball team at Airways Middle School took advantage of an opportunity to serve during this holiday season. The players, led by their head coach, Sherman Jones, helped fill Christmas baskets for the Neighborhood Christian Center's annual event.
|The 2011-12 Airways Middle School Jets team features Terreyo Nailor, Jacquan Goodwin, Demarcus Danner, Maricus Parker, Demarion Kouakou, Anthony Baldwin, Larry Thomas, Tevin Gathings, , Shajuan Jones, Santino Jones and Nick Nailor. (Courtesy photo)
Coach Jones said he was delighted to have the chance to bring his guys out to participate. And he was pleased with their effort and attitude toward helping out.
"I think it speaks volumes about the kind of young men we are trying to prepare at Airways. Our young people don't receive enough credit for the good things that they do in the community," said Jones.
The vision of the late Monroe Ballard continues on as the thought of wanting to provide a family with a meal for the holiday has blossomed into more than 10,500 families being served annually.
Kedra Jones, director of the Neighborhood Christian Center's Compassionate Ministries, said the highly anticipated event has been ongoing since 1989.
"It provides food staples for families during the winter break and supports anywhere from 10,500 up to 12,000 families each year," said Jones.
All the more amazing when one considers that it all started with Ballard's desire to give 25 baskets to families for Christmas. Now, 25 years later, an enormous operation stems from the NCC main office located at 785 Jackson.
Sherman Jones
The best thing about the event is "being able to serve others," said Jones. Seeing more than 40,000 people come and work together, like a team, runs a close second, she added.
How can Memphians help?
"Volunteers help tremendously," said Jones. (Although she didn't say it, I'm certain, any financial contributions would truly help make it even better and would be greatly appreciated.)
As for the boy's basketball players at Airways Middle, serving at the center is another positive step towards learning the art, honor and privilege of serving others.
"This definitely is a 'community service' type of event and we look forward to participating again in the future," said Coach Jones.
After the players "signed-in," they reported to duty, where they un-stacked boxes, unwrapped long-grain rice and boxed macaroni, followed by more rice and macaroni, until the goal had been reached.
Way to go, young men of Airways Middle, way to go!

In August 2009 the Underdogs softball team held a memorial softball game for Richard Greene who passed away in a house fire last July. This year they are doing it again. A second game will be held on Aug. 28, which would have been Richard's 25th birthday, at Cantiague Park (Field D).
All proceeds will go to the "Ricky Green Scholarship," which was established last year in the late Hicksville resident's memory; the scholarship will benefit a student showing excellence in theater. If you are interested in donating directly to the scholarship, please send a check, payable to "Hicksville High School Scholarship" with "Ricky Greene Scholarship" written in the memo line, to Hicksville UFSD, Attn: Business Office, 200 Division Avenue, Hicksville, NY 11801.

Yankees To Sign Ichiro Suzuki
The contract will not get done tonight according to Jeff Bradley of The Star Ledger (on Twitter), though the two sides are really close. David Waldstein of The New York Times says the Phillies were hard after Ichiro and could push the Yankees to offer two years (Twitter links). He also notes that Phillies special advisor Pat Gillick was the Mariners GM when they originally acquired Ichiro.

Growing Pains
Three talented artists are still feeling their way through their work
at the Gomez Gallery certainly spoke to his background as a graphic novelist and comic-book illustrator. The distorted figures in his paintings had missing limbs, and their skin was so red that it seemed as if their blood and guts might poke through at any moment.
If those paintings went for obvious shock effects, his new exhibit at Gomez is shocking for entirely different reasons. True to the show's No Bodies title, there are almost no figures in these landscape paintings. Their fleeting figurative references, however, do suggest that Williams' morbid tendencies remain very much a part of his creative skin and bones. In the mixed media on paper "Skull in a Landscape," the skull itself is a nearly ghosted image set in a somber gray and white background; and in the oil and encaustic on wood panel "Two Shins in a Landscape," those detached body parts recline in a neutral brown and green landscape offset against a cheerful powder blue sky.
These reminders of anatomy and mortality are fleeting. Instead, Williams devotes most of Bodies' paintings to landscapes. The best painting in the show, "Purple Haze," is a pretty depiction of a wildflower-filled meadow that recalls the blurry landscape effects achieved by such late-19th-century American Impressionists as John Twachtman. Williams' paintings have a moodiness that recalls Twachtman, who was at his best in his ephemeral white-on-white pictures of fog over snowy fields. Williams also uses the occasional slashing brush strokes to prevent his image from becoming completely melted in appearance, another Twachtman technique.
Williams shows off other impressionistic stylistic flourishes in "Purple Haze," including melted tones for tall trees in the background; alternately smooth and thick painterly passages within the pink, purple, and green hues that form a field in the middle ground; and vegetal slashes that form for a lively foreground. Finally, it is mounted in an ornately carved frame reminiscent of the 19th century.
His work also puts us in a near-dreamy mood when looking at it, achieved through his mix of oil and encaustic, which gives his paintings a milky texture. Another fine painting, "Haw River I," has white and gray brushwork that melts together to suggest the forcefulness of surging water.
It's too bad that only a few of his other paintings rate as highly as "Haze." One of the most disappointing is "Jordan Lake," a high-angle view of a tree-lined lake. Although he has an interesting mix of colors in the water itself, other areas seem rushed and unconvincing. The patchy greens and browns applied in the foreground seem hasty. Rather than energetic paint application in the service of conjuring up a landscape, the result looks chunky and hurried.
The problem may be that Williams tends to pile paint brusquely on the canvas in a manner that calls attention to his process. This finish isn't a good idea when the painter's method is unremarkable and when the subject gets injured in the process. In "Morning at Jordan Lake," Williams' heavily applied white paint includes one passage that's so lumpy it looks like congealed cream of wheat.
If Williams' creative evolution proves a bit bumpy, he's in good company with Brian Taylor and Phil Borges. Taylor's previous works exhibited at Gomez were ambitious large paintings characterized by art-historical references and schematic figuration against abstract washes. His deliberately fragmentary imagery suggested a talented young artist exploring a vocabulary that might develop into career-long themes. His work was technically astute if thematically unresolved, but it promised an artist who might yet startle us all.
His current exhibit marks a departure in medium--from big paintings to small drawings. (There are a daunting 152 drawings and two mixed-media sculptures in this show.) Technically speaking, Taylor is exploring charcoal, pencil, and pen and ink. But he still seems to be testing out his subject matter's possibilities; he's primarily doing figurative riffs with female nudes.
Many of the women here have been subjected to surreal revisions. "In the Labyrinth," for instance, features a nude woman whose face is mostly covered by what appears to be a black hood; she also holds a rope. And one of her legs has some sort of humanoid growing where you'd expect to find a foot.
With such imagery, there's obviously much to look at in his show, but not much on which to linger. Taylor is versatile--in "Susannah" he realistically details a woman's face, and in "Pour" he includes an upside-down amphora, an allusion to classical Greek art. But these drawings feel like the sketchbook doodles that an artist makes while contemplating a major painterly statement.
Photographer Phil Borges previously exhibited a series of portraits of Tibetans at Gomez. His new show, Spirit of Place, includes people from Mongolia, Pakistan, Ecuador, and the Phillipines. Like his earlier show, Borges focuses his camera on traditional peoples endangered by modernity; one of his current subjects is an 87-year-old Siberian shaman who died three weeks after her photo was taken.
Borges' emphasis here is on animist cultures that find the spiritual world directly within the natural world. Each photograph includes a brief accompanying, that provides some biographical and spiritual information about the subject depicted, but should give a little more.
As with his Tibetan series, Borges shoots his subject in their natural surroundings, whatever mountains or jungle that may be. Borges then hand-colors areas of his black-and-white photos, such as putting a touch of fleshy color into their cheeks in the manner of 19th-century tintype photos. It is a process that makes for straightforward documentary photos that also have artistic appeal.

Got Something to Add?
He's no Joe McElderry. Joe had a great cover of this on his last album.
A great performance -- he has consistently sung selections that go well with his voice -- so not sure if this is due to him or Nicole or the producers.
But why do they keep on going on every week about how brave and courageous he is? Enough already! Nicole's comments are just annoying.
I want to see the before part where he explains about his brother. Any ideas?
OMG WOW! That was his best to me. So emotional. I'm crying also. I've never seen Gary cry either.
nicely done,, so emotional.. he did very well..
@KevinB he was a nervous mess. I know what thats like and to get up there and sing he probably felt like he would die on the spot. but he did it anyway to help other people be brave.
@KevinB you know his brother killed himself right? he also almost killed himself. and that doesnt include all the crap his parents did
I actually didn't know that, so thanks for sharing that info. I went and googled about it for more information. But his brother killed himself in 2008, and while this is obviously horrible news, and Jahmene and the rest of his family had to endure a lot of pain, there are also plenty of other celebrities that have terrible tragedies in their life, and also have horrible stage fright (Christopher Maloney was probably the most terrified contestant I ever saw in an audition). You would think that his tragedy just happened during the competition.
This is really more about the Nicole trying to make his back-story even more tragic to buy him votes -- and he frankly doesn't need the extra sympathy. He is one of my most favorite talent competition singers ever, and the show doesn't need to keep on milking this, since he should be able to easily win on his talent alone.
@KevinB @AprilNikkiFontana you're welcome :) yes tragedies but since a young child? for so many years? I don't know of any. Yes,Christopher had awful STAGE fright but Jahmene has fright of life. I think Nicole had an easy life, not sure but she probably looks at him like wow he is strong and HE IS. Her tears arent fake.Also, we never just vote on talent.Otherwise someone else would have won American Idol lol

Amidst all the speculation around who Governor David Paterson will tap to replace soon-to-be Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as New York's junior senator, Taegan Goddard gives us the following concerning rumors about former President Bill Clinton…
No news there. Bill hasn't sought Hillary's seat since before Chelsea was born.
Now that we got that out of the way, I guess it's safe to return to speculation around who Bill Clinton will tap.

A long, long time ago – in what now feels like the life of someone else, I did a lot of Pilates. I was strong and fit and recall that feeling of health and wellbeing with great fondness (a feeling that is somewhat further away thanks to three kids and, well, inherent laziness).
This Saturday is 'International Pilates Day', a chance for people who have tried it and love it to celebrate and an opportunity for those who haven't and are interested to check it out.
In Canberra, a free mat-work session will be held at 8am on Saturday 3rd of May at Reconciliation Place between Questacon and the High Court on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin.
Places are limited to 100 and refreshments will be provided to those who participate after the event. Teachers from Pilates ITC and Canberra Pilates will be on hand to help and answer any questions you have about the discipline (to join the class, contact Pilates Canberra on 62817788 or via www.pilatescanberra.com.au).
Pilates can be appreciated in 2 forms: Studio or Equipment Pilates sessions or Mat-work Classes. Both provide different outcomes for the participant; the original Pilates Method was taught on the Pilates equipment with strong supervision and progression from Basic exercises taught to Advanced over many years of committed ongoing sessions.
Pilates is a great way to develop strength without bulk and to rehabilitate from injury and then continue to strengthen, tone and condition in a safe way that does not impact joints.
When signing up for Pilates in Canberra, check that your instructor is a registered with the Pilates Alliance of Australiasia (PAA). If you have a physiological, systemic, neurological or psychological problem where you have been referred by a surgeon, psychiatrist or physiotherapist you should always look at the Studio or Equipment based sessions first and discuss with the Director or Senior Instructor at the studio.
For studio work ensure that initially you have at least two, one-hour sessions before you participate in any small group sessions. If you are fit, well and healthy then Mat-classes could be right for you.
Lanette from Pilates Canberra points out that 'Pilates feels very odd at first; however after a period of time the body and mind begin to feel that Pilates is a very organic and very centred way to work.'
Oh damn and blast it!
I'm unable to attend because this Saturday is also 'International Change The Oil In Your Car' day – which I must celebrate.
It would be twice. The fun if it coincided with International Pirates Day… Arrrrgggh
Does this have anything to do with International Talk Like A Pirate Day?
Pork Hunt said :
It would be twice. The fun if it coincided with International Pirates Day… Arrrrgggh
It would be twice. The fun if it coincided with International Pirates Day… Arrrrgggh
Perhaps we could persuade peeps to dress as pirates for the free mat-work session which will be held at 8am on Saturday 3rd of May at Reconciliation Place…
Are they doing it free for the exposure?
Do you pay on the first date?

What happened last week?
Was that your worst game as a pro?
How do you think youll recover from it?
Sure Ferguson, the Jets prized top draft pick in last Aprils draft, has his most difficult outing of his rookie season in last weeks loss to the Bills, during which Buffalo defensive end Aaron Schobel conducted a clinic with three sacks and a forced fumble.
But when you step back and think about that game, it was really Fergusons first real bad game as a pro this season. For the most part, hes been terrific, as has his rookie line mate, center Nick Mangold, also a first-round draft pick.
Ive moved on, Ferguson said when asked for the umpteenth time about the Buffalo game. Last week was a game that I can learn a lot from, I can improve upon and I've done that. I've looked at it, but I realize that we're going against Minnesota this week and that is the focus for this week. You have to turn the page and as soon as the game is over, you look at what you can. I'm not harping on it; it's over.
You've got to move on. There's time to look and reflect and there's also the fact that I have another opponent this week. I can't be worried Saturday night like, 'Damn, if I would have had that block.' Even if I did a great job, I can't be like, 'Wow.' You've always got to keep your eyes on the target.''
That next target, of course, is Sundays opponent, the Vikings, in Minneapolis.
Jets head coach Eric Mangini sounded all week like he has no worry about the way Ferguson will respond.
Brick has been through a lot of games now, Mangini said. We've been through a lot of games as a team He's started every one of them. He's gotten a ton of reps, not just in the games, in practice. He's faced some of the premiere pass rushers in the league. This is just the way it works. Some weeks are better than others.
The nice thing is that you get another opportunity here this week to go out and improve. What were the mistakes? What things could I have done better? Then going and correcting those throughout the week and making sure you execute those the next time you play.
Brick has made real progress, Mangini continued. One area where Brick has improved significantly is he's always been very conscientious, but his attention to detail is improving. Not that it was bad, but I think it's getting better. It's getting to that thing we talked about, being a pro, your approach. A lot of times I'll start on Wednesdays and I let him kick the day off with some questions. Very rarely does he get things wrong. I'm pleased with that.
That's all part of the maturing process for those guys. Different styles of play, different schemes, different blocking schemes, how you prepare during the week, what you take away from the experience and put sort of in your vault so you can draw on it the next time.
Schobel made some mention after last weeks game that Ferguson has trouble with power rushers. Mangini shot that down.
As athletic as (Ferguson) is, that really helps him in terms of leverage and angles, he said. You can generate a lot of power with the proper base, the proper stance. When you throw your hands is really important. If you throw them too early, they can break them down. You really have no power. You always want to time it up almost like you're snapping into his chest where you can generate the most power.
Those are things, regardless of whether you're 380 or 290, that can really help you also is your footwork, how wide your base is. You don't want to be more than shoulder-width apart. Then how you time off that punch which is critical for offensive linemen. On the flipside, you'll see with defensive linemen where they're breaking down the offensive linemen's hands. That's the counter to it. As they're going to throw the punch, you're always trying to chop that down and use it against them to generate some type of opening, some type of crease.
Jets veteran left guard Pete Kendall, whos had a large role in helping Fergusons progress, is another voice who believes Ferguson will rebound fine,.
He seems fine, Kendall said. He's an even-keeled kid. There are going to be times when you have a game like that and for the people on outside looking in it's easy to look at a stat sheet and say, 'You must have been awful.' There are as always extenuating circumstances. He'll he OK.
Said Ferguson: There were some things that was like, 'OK, this is not how I would want the game to have gone. You can always learn from what you do. You can always analyze and say, 'Let me change this up.' I think initially it was, 'Man, I didn't play the way I wanted to.' But it's one game. If you're ever going to improve, you can't always hover on the fact that I didn't play as well as I wanted to.''
Fergusons rookie line mate, Mangold, is another player whos been impressed with the way Ferguson handles things, good and bad.
"Being the No. 4 (overall) pick you might think he could have a big head,'' Mangold said. "But he was the same guy he was in January, since mini-camps. He stayed the same guy, the same level, the same preparation.''
So, too, has Mangold, who has made Jets fans forget about perennial Pro Bowl center Kevin Mawae in a hurry.
Nick is one of those guys that not a lot fazes him, Mangini said. That's really good. Even from the first week he got here after his exams. He put the ball on the ground a couple times. That fazed him and me. But as he moves on, he's very comfortable in there. He's comfortable working with Pete (Kendall) and with Brandon (Moore). He's comfortable working with the rest of the guys, which is incredibly important.
With Chad (Pennington). He does a nice job of, as he sees something and is exposed to it, being able adjust to it. He'll get better with that. He started a lot of games in college and high school. He's been the starter for a long time.
Hes done an excellent job of preparation. Second to that is that he's never rattled. Nothing ever overwhelms him, whether it's preparation, whether it's game time. Whatever it is, a new look, he just takes it all in stride. It's pretty amazing as a rookie to be able to do that. A lot of times there a are lot of things that can get rookies rattled.
Kendall said, Hes even keeled and has got a balanced approach to it. I guess its easy to be even-keeled when youve played as well as he has. He's done everything you would expect a center to do. The fact that hes a rookie makes that more imporessive. Hes been able to handle the mental aspect of it and the physical aspect of it.
Im sure if he had some glaring breakdowns the story would have been, Hes no Kevin Mawae. But he hasnt had those breakdowns.
Things to look for in Sundays game against the Vikings:
-Can the Jets run on the Vikings defense, which has allowed an average of 54 yards rushing per game? Seven of the Minnesota opponents this season have failed to rush for more than 17 yards as a team against the Vikings. The Jets are ranked 17th in rushing offense.
-Can the Jets special teams win the game for the? The Vikings have had their struggles this season. They are among the six worst teams in the NFL on kickoffs and kickoff coverage. Their punter, Chris Kluwe, is ranked 29th in net average.
-Will the Vikings beat themselves? They have committed a league-high 100 penalties for 744 yards and committed the eighth-most turnovers in the NFL. Of their 28 turnovers, five of them have been returned for touchdowns, including an 88-yard interception return for a touchdown last Sunday in Detroit. Opponents have scored 87 points off Vikings' turnovers. The Vikings are 1-4 when they commit three or more turnovers.
- Will Chad Pennington rebound with a big game? Hes been flawless in games played inside domes _ a 69.7 completion percentage, eight touchdowns, one interception and a 124.3 passer rating in games at Detroit, Indianapolis and St. Louis. The Jets, however, lost two of those three games.

Television news in the classroom?
It is a fine idea if made relevant and executed with care and vision.
Cable News Network appears to have done just that with CNN Newsroom, its weekday newscast for schoolchildren that premiered earlier this month, available for window-shopping by teachers who may want to regularly tape it and show it to their students.

Ronan Bennett - whose personal history I was unaware of - has a puff piece for John McDonnell and his campaign for the Labour leadership in The Guardian today. I'm increasingly inclined to take my place on amongst the dead-enders by voting for him, even though I'm pretty sure he's fairly clearly unelectable, whenever the leadership election comes around. Regardless, Bennett's piece has a fine penultimate paragraph, revolving around a quite pleasingly provocative ironic rhetorical repetition of a memorable attack on the Labour far left:
In 1985, Neil Kinnock, then Labour leader, made an electrifying speech at the party conference denouncing Derek Hatton and the bankrupt Militant Tendency-run Liverpool council. Kinnock was devastating about "the grotesque chaos of a Labour council - hiring taxis to scuttle round a city handing out redundancy notices to its own workers". The unlamented Hatton is long gone, but compared with the record of Blair's administration his misdeeds were petty. Cash for honours, secret loans, a neo-con foreign policy, war crimes in Iraq, home secretaries boasting they send more people to prison than the Tories ever did. A Labour government - a Labour government - in which sit both Harriet Harman and Patricia Hewitt, former stalwarts of the National Council for Civil Liberties, proposing 90-day detentions for terrorist suspects, restricting trial by jury, throwing asylum seekers into prison ... The list is long. It may not be chaotic, but is unquestionably grotesque.
Update: it looks like Peter Hain is going for the left-wing vote in the Deputy Leadership.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is a very dark story of a child that is cared for in almost an abusive way. Families are only aloud to have two children. The main character is the third child. To keep him safe, his parents don't let him go outside. As the story progresses, he is only allowed in an uptstairs attic. When he discovers another third child like him, he learns a bit more about how messed up his world is and about the propaganda his government has been spreading. The first few chapters of this story were very sad. It was difficult to read about a kid in this type of situation. This is a very plot and character-driven story. In places where things are not moving along quickly, the reader hurts with the character. Many chapters are intense and action packed. The main character, Luke, is 12. The age of the character will makes the age range for hte book about 9-12. Content-wise, this might be too intense for some 9 year olds.
A fast, exciting read.
First of a series. Liked it a lot.
My fourth-grade son read this book at school, and he liked it so much that he bought a copy for me for Christmas. I was thrilled and picked it as the first of my Christmas present books to read. This book is the first in the Shadow Children series. It takes place in a dystopian future in which food shortages have led to the passage of a law that families may have only two children. If women become pregnant a third time, they are supposed to end the pregnancy, but Luke's mother refused to do that, and he has been raised as a shadow child, staying indoors and interacting only with his family so that the Population Police do not find out about him. But when he learns that another third child is living in the new development near his farm, he learns that much of what he has assumed about Shadow Children is inaccurate and his world changes drastically.
I enjoyed this book, and I'm glad that my son has book #2 of the series on his shelf (where I can borrow it). The writing is straightforward, probably geared for the middle grades (5-8?). Because of that, the gradual reveal of the situation that I loved in books like The Giver and The Handmaid's Tale is not there. Haddix lays out the peculiarities of the dystopian future early in the book. But there are several twists and turns that keep the story moving forward, and I'm sure that's why my son enjoyed this book. He also told me that he felt "all emotional inside" when he read it, and I have to agree with him. I especially felt for Luke and his mother as they tried to survive in a world where the odds had been stacked against them. All in all, a good read!

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0689824750, Paperback)Luke has never been to school. He's never had a birthday party, or gone to a friend's house for an overnight. In fact, Luke has never had a friend.
Luke is one of the shadow children, a third child forbidden by the Population Police. He's lived his entire life in hiding, and now, with a new housing development replacing the woods next to his family's farm, he is no longer even allowed to go outside.
Then, one day Luke sees a girl's face in the window of a house where he knows two other children already live. Finally, he's met a shadow child like himself. Jen is willing to risk everything to come out of the shadows -- does Luke dare to become involved in her dangerous plan? Can he afford not to?
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:31:12 -0400)
In a future where the Population Police enforce the law limiting a family to only two children, Luke has lived all his twelve years in isolation and fear on his family's farm, until another "third" convinces him that the government is wrong.

An examination of the philosophical questions arising from the human activity of creating and appreciating art (of all kinds: visual, musical, literary, etc.). Questions can include: the relation of perception and aesthetic appreciation to knowledge; the relation between emotion and belief; the relation between artist/creator, audience/spectator, and art work. How is art distinguished from nature as possible object of aesthetic appreciation? Must art even be aesthetic? If not, how is the category 'art' defined, and by whom?

Comment: Re:What's happened to Slashdot? (Score 1) 151
The number of comments just proves that number of people who read about this in mainstream media several days ago when it was trending on Facebook but who had to wait for Slashdot to catch up to the trend before they could say anything about it that someone else might read.
The fact that it is trending on Facebook this week proves something else, which is that most people think the Aral Sea is a big circle as shown on most world maps and globes and had no idea that the Soviets had diverted its main sources, leading to its shrinkage, about 50 years ago. I admit that I suffered the same ignorance, although I learned about this a few years ago before it was cool and I suspect that I am not the only one whose sole surprise from this story is that it is so popular to talk about this week all the sudden.
The use of the term "inland lake" in the summary proves that no nerds were even involved in getting this article onto Slashdot's front page. A real nerd would not distinguish between inland lakes and all of those lakes in the middle of the ocean.

i first purchased this ramen at whole food. i only bought it because it is one of very few vegetarian friendly ramens available. i love ramen, but most of the ramen available has meat products in their stock. not the case with these. this kind, garlic pepper, is my favorite out of all of their flavors. but i also add a massive amount of garlic powder to it along with the whole packet of their broth mix. yummy, yummy snack. will buy again.
