Can you SAVE me from this blah soup?
- aussiewonder Oct 4, 2009 02:45 PM
Hi Chowhounders,
So, i made a huge batch of carrot and maple syrup soup. It's basically a pureed carrot soup w/ ginger and garlic and maple syrup (although I used birch syrup). And, it kinds sucks. It's got great ginger notes to it but other than that, pretty blah....it's a vat of pureed carrots.
Any suggestions for how to use this or improve this?
I'm happy to reinvent the soup but would really like some ways to use up the remainder a little more creatively but i'm stuck for ideas.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
re: greygarious
It does have sauteed celery/onions/garlic and chicken stock but still a bit bland and really, just hohum. A friend told me to add coconut milk to thin in out so might try that. I'm intriqued by the strata tho - you don't think the puree would be too thick?
I did this too last winter and was just overwhelmed by the intense carrotness of my concoction. With some of the soup, I thinned it out, added more ginger and used it as my liquid for ginger batsmati rice.
I've had this problem in the past and countered it by adding spices that balance the sweetness with duskier, more savory flavors. You could try curry powder, cumin, or paprika; any of those will add weight and round out the flavor. Alternatively, you could try countering the sweetness with acids like lemon juice or woodsy flavors like thyme or oregano. Finally, adding some plain yogurt to soup already in the bowl (don't heat it) always cuts overly sweet soups in a gorgeous way, to my palate - it adds a tang and mellows the flavor. Adding about 1/4 milk-to-soup ration in the bowl can also accomplish this, if you've also added a bunch of those counterweight spices that I've mentioned. Tinker, taste, see what works and doesn't work for you. Good luck!
If it's too sweet some tamari might help and goes well. Maybe some sauteed onions or kelp or dulse or greens (kale, collards, broccoli).
re: puzzler
Careful w/ the veg BTB - in my experience it leans sweet, because carrot is one of its main ingredients, so it might make the OP's soup even more carroty-sweet. I avoid it when making carrot/butternut squash/sweet potato soups unless I'm cooking for vegetarians, because of that.
re: puzzler
Vogue Veggie Base is another option.
A little chicken broth, cumin, cayenne, diced tomatoes, and black beans.
Or coconut milk, red curry paste, and nam pla. Served over jasmine rice.
Orange vegetables, IMO, are just crying out for a little spicy! So whatever you do, don't leave out a bit of hot something -- not to the point where you'd say, "Holy cow, this is spicy," but just enough to leave a little tingle behind.
re: LauraGrace
Thanks for these great suggestions, I'm def going to try the coconut milk/curry paste and black beans suggestion, i've got so much of it left in the freezer, so these are wonderful. thanks.
Try some fresh squeezed lemon juice - I find that perks up bland soups quite well. And try some spices - I'd go with cumin and cardamon, with a hint of cinnamon and cloves.
Experiment with a cup or so of the soup. How's the salt level? You may be surprised at how much the flavor improves when you hit the right salt level (which may be as high as 1/2tsp per cup).
I accidentally found this site while looking for a soup recipe I'd made before. I was interested in your "blah" comment as when I'd made roasted carrot with gingr and maple syrup soup before it had been very flavourful, and not too sweet. I also found a recipe which was published recently in an Ausie magazine and I wondered if your'd followed this because if so that could have been the original problem! My friend eventually e-mailed me the original recipe I'd used before and in comparison the recipe I'd used has twice the garlic and ginger and roasts hotter for longer (and specifies the carrots should be browning) which adds to the flavour intensity, especially if you use dark syrup. Given those differences you might just try roasting extra garlic and ginger to puree and mixing that into it.
You could use it for the stock /puree in a risotto with maybe some bacon or more roasted garlic/ginger a bit like the basmati rice suggestion. I like the coconut milk idea too.
re: Binklet
Good points, Binklet. Especially the bacon -- there's hardly anything bacon won't improve. Except dessert...no I take that back -- there is a donut shop here that's famous for their maple-bacon bars. That's a maple longjohn with strips of bacon stuck into the maple icing.
re: puzzler
holy crap that sounds good, where is that shop!?? can I assume a longjohn is similar to a crueller?
re: geminigirl
Presumably VooDoo Donuts
You can make 'em at home...
re: geminigirl
Rocket Donuts, 306 W Holly, Bellingham, WA
They call them bars, I call them longjohns.
i always use a bit of sherry in carrot/ / squash soups. Then there are the basics of southern cooking that always perk things up a bit -- vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper -- which all can really take many forms, such as pepper vinegar. Try a dab of balsamic, a touch of sugar, some white pepper and possibly chicken boullion??? And possibly a bay leaf!

Are you dealing with break up pain, any way that you look at it, is not going to be an easy or a enjoyable task. A lot of people incorrectly believe that they will be able to manage their heartbreak, only to find out that carrying a torch for someone after a love affair is a lot like grieving.
At least if you look at the relationship as having passed on. When it comes to dealing with a broken intimate relationship, it is important that you look past the pain and find a way to survive even when things seem impossible for the time being.
Relationship breakup puts a lot of people through fear and misery in there life. Some of the people going through these feelings have no one in the world to turn to, and this is why people suffer so hard from heartbreaks in the first place.
Dealing with break up pain's all by yourself can seem impossible at first, but consider how many people deal with love and loss in their lives and survive to talk about it. You too will be able to get over your feeling's like a crippling break up, but only if you are willing to deal with heart break pain the right way, and the healthy way for that matter at hand.
So why is the pain from a lost love break up so difficult? Perhaps when dealing with a break up, it will seem as if you are the only one, who has suffered the kind of pain you're going through. It is important that you continue to try to heal rather than allowing yourself to give up on the situation.
Dwelling on the painful split from your lover will not help you, so instead you should work on getting better and moving on, which will allow you to stop dealing with break up pain and start dealing with moving on and finding someone new, perhaps even someone that has a better dynamic with you.
What you can do to deal with your pain..
- Spend time with your friends and let them help you get your mind off your heartbreak.
- Don't dwell on the bad feelings, but focus on the good parts of your life in order to promote healing.
Perhaps your friends will probably realize that you're going through something serious, and they will more than likely dedicate themselves to trying to help you through it. If this is the case, don't blow them off, because going out and spending time with your friends and the people that you care about will be extremely helpful when it comes to, Relationship Break Ups How To Deal With The Pain.
Everyone goes through a period where they are dealing with a break up, because everyone in life goes through a breakup. Rather than allow yourself to suffer while dealing with the breaking up.
What you should do is enjoy yourself and work on healing rather than allowing yourself to become stressed out, overwhelmed or depressed by your heartbreak. Perhaps this is meant to be, Life go's on..
5 Responses to "How Dealing With A Relationship Break Up Can Be Rough"
After chilling out in hs, i loved a woman, but was shy to state so, and years went past/we visit separate schools.
In sophomore year, buddies of mine affected me, asking if my recently made frosh year female friend and up to date closest friend, and that i were together. However stages, I had been immature and childish about this, responding to no and adding things like yuck. Within the summer time after soph year, I recognized Used to do love her, however it was hard recognizing might I did not have it.
Only at that same time, the lady I loved explained she did not wish to spend time because she was at rapport, however i never demonstrated any hints I loved her. She is a fairly friend.
We spoken at first of junior year and removed some misconception i did not say I loved her currently since i was unsure. She requested basically still felt this way and that i just informed her like a friend which i loved her. Before TG, I informed her again, however it was uncomfortable so we release. It had been hurtful, however i did not quite externalize it. It simply is really a time I will not forget. Near that point, her parent authored in my experience and essentially stated to remain buddies and little else. Yes, the lady is really a different ethnic background than me. Also it appears to matter… At that time, I did not have aim of creating a relationship together with her, since i understood she did not have feelings, so I decided to have the ability to move ahead. This friend and that i had learned to actually trust one another and were really like close friends.
Fast-toward spring, in an effort to move ahead, I leaped to stupid conclusions this new girl loved me and eager for this, however the confusing actions of caring, kindness, smiles, laughter, etc were indications of friendship, even saying she thought I had been attractive, which actually was unpredicted. I requested around and buddies thought she loved me. Not a chance. She did not. And… I did not be seduced by her. I almost did, but fortunately got things removed up before summer time. I learned I possibly could hold hands with my closest friend around the same time frame, but that's not the way the semester ended. It ended using the clarification using the girl I misunderstood.
When I result, I truly skipped my closest friend throughout summer time. We live far apart and because of lots of business/summer time school, could not retain in close contact.
Throughout winter break before that spring, the lady who explained we should not spend time recommended we spend time, therefore we did. I still demonstrated no signs.
Fast-toward this summer time, and that i recognized I actually do love my closest friend, whom the lady I misunderstood explained "You bf/gf ought to be your closest friend" that we wanted to think, but encounters demonstrated otherwise.
Now, I'm stuck. As I still such as the other girl (same ethnic background) who I hung by helping cover their in the winter months breaks, I'm deeply in love with my closest friend that has proven it as being not reciprocal. I had been feeling guilty for getting the emotions but still spending time with her, but I'd rather not stop our close bond.
A new comer to associations, didn't have one.
Girl I really like whom romantic feelings aren't came back or girl I love but never told? Or… nobody?
Be nice. This path continues to be rough.
I feel weird asking this to an internet forum, but I guess I won't get an answer from anyone else…
Anyways, I started seeing this guy about a month and a half ago. We totally clicked. I like him, he likes me. He has never given me any reason to suspect cheating, lying, etc. We even specifically stated that we were exclusive – he was the one to bring it up, not me. I tried avoiding getting my head too far into it, because I know that I tend to fall for guys that I like, and especially since I had just broken up with my ex about a month before I met this guy (I know it sounds fast, hopping from guy to guy, but it was a weird situation…anyways, I feel like it has no merit as to why I started dating again so soon). Ok so, I guess one part of our relationship that was potentially an issue was the fact that he is bisexual, and not out – I'm gay and out to the people who need to know. I guess it may seem like I am lightyears ahead of him, I know, and I was hesitant to start dating him because he was not as out as me. Regardless, since we started dating he came out to a few people – whether he was using me to come out, or not, I don't really care, he told me he was planning on doing it anyways. Ok so, I was fine with the fact that he wasn't out, because personally I'm not all that comfortable with my own sexuality so I felt like we related on that note. So we have been hanging out 2-3 nights a week, he has slept over at least once a week for the past 4 weeks. I was getting no weird vibes from him at all and everything seemed to be going fine. Last weekend he came out to his roommate after he drank a bottle of wine, and he has been seriously debating telling his brother, and another friend. On top of all of this he has school, work, other friends, and his family (which apparently is a little rough right now). I understand that this is a chaotic time for him, especially since I'm the first guy he has dated, fooled around with, etc. So tonight he sat me down in the park and told me that his life was too much for him and that he didn't think he was ready to be in a relationship – and let me emphasize that this totally came out of the blue. I was at a loss for words, and very supportive of his decision. He even started crying. I'm not sure what to make of all of this. We clearly like each other, everything between us is fine. I understand that he is having a tough time with it all, but I really feel like it is an impulsive decision on his part. I really don't think I'm the one to blame on this, nor him, I just feel so confused! I (stupidly) sent him a Facebook message telling him that everything was fine between us, that I understood his position, and I thanked him for treating me with respect, but I still feel like he made the wrong choice. We have so much potential, I feel. I don't know if I should give him some space, or confront him, or what. Ugh, I just don't know! Help!!
I am 26 have been in love wid my class fellow for around 8 years now…Till last year, he wanted marriage. Now, suddenly, he has cleared me that his circumstances and family circumstances dont allow him to marry me although he really wants it..
I was shocked n broken by this as i have given the best years of my life to this relationship..we are addicted to each other…our intimacy and chemistry is just fantastic..i don't even have much frnds..n we share our problems, joys, successes..everything…He understands me more thn anyone..he bears my anger and mood swings in worst of times…cheers me up..makes me laugh..we had always made plans of our marriage, kids…i haven't even thot of anyone else as my life partner…
But Without the prospect of marriage, this relationship seems futile and pointless as I have no idea that how much more time would he need to change his mind..or maybe he never changes his mind..n i would end up alone..
After his refusal, everything seems to come crashing down..despite trying a lot, i haven't been able to delete him from my life…(we have many mutual friends)..i think of extreme steps now such as convincing his family to let us marry and many more weird ideas…which i know wont work…Now, my family and relatives are pressuring me into getting married to some other guy.
I am just soo confused of this mess of emotions and feelings in my heart and brain..I try to be realistic and practical and tell myself that I can survive without him..I shud move on..and maybe a huge dramatic step such as getting married to another guy wud restart my life..n tht slowly i will get over him and start loving my husband..On the other hand..i feel i will never be able to love again and would become completly numb and maybe me n dt other guy would never develope any understanding and fondness for each other..n i wud be the unhappiest person on earth…I start getting nervous breakdown on idea of getting married to someone else…..i start vomiting with stress and depression…m loosing my health..my mind…i dont know wat to do…Please HELP!!!
as a scorpio i bottle up my feelings most of the time and never let them be known. yeah maybe once in awhile i open up to my friends a little but never all the way. ive never been in a situation where people could actually see that im vulnerable. and its hard bcos alot of times i just want to break down and cry. the thing is ive been in love with my ex ever since we dated 2 years ago and even after breaking up, we had no closure. as friends we had many rough patches and incidents where feelings came up again. it was too long stretched out a process. but then she met someone else and got into a long term relationship with him.
we fell out for about a year after that but became friends again. her feelings just recently came back a little but this time I hid whatever feelings i had left for her… so right now she doesnt know that i harbor any. it really sucks bcos i love her so much but sometimes my intuition tells me its for the better (after all the pain i felt pining for her). some days i think i can make it, some days i feel really hopeless and like i cant go on. but everyday i think about her at some point. blame it on the scorpio obsessiveness. how does a scorpio get out of this rut?
oh btw i'm a scorpio sun, libra moon and cancer ascendant
Ok well I asked something similar before…But here's the situation. My gf who I've been with for a little over a year has just is going through a really rough time (mother was recently diagnosed with cancer, and father has skin cancer). And she said she needs time alone–pretty much no contact or very little.A couple of weeks or maybe a month or two with the way she sounded to have time alone because she is really stressed. I really do love her and although the wait will kill me, I don't mind it. What do you think of this situation? if you've been in a similar one, was it a way to get rid of the guy? or did you really just need alone time to work through the traumas? Now she's just told me she doesn't feel the same way she used to and wants a full blown brreakup, it's been about3 weeks going through this however the past 2 or 3 days she remained constant in what she's said.when i've asked her if she thinks we'll et back together she's said no good news is, she agreed to come down from her dorm to talk and see me on valentines day as long as i don't bother her at all In my head that's a good sign and talking in person iis akways a good sign right? what do you think? think she'sll be willing to work something out on saturday? bad news is i know she lied o me about where's she's been a few times. could t possibly be bcause she thought i ewould bug her if she said she was at her dorm?

How we got from Windows XP to Windows 8.1
Summary: This week Windows XP ended an amazing run of more than 12 years, but its influence lives on. Here's a brief history of Windows in the 21st Century.
15 of 15Image
2013: The big Windows 8.1 update brings back the Start button
One of the implicit promises of Windows 8 was that Microsoft would adopt a faster release tempo than its previous every-three-years schedule. The company delivered on that promise almost immediately, with the release of Windows 8.1 exactly one year after Windows 8. This wasn't just a service pack, either. It included major new features, including the return of the Start button.
As I noted in a first look, "This is a significant update that clearly represents much more than just a reaction to seven months' worth of occasionally brutal customer feedback about Windows 8." The other thing that was happening at the same time was an increasing availability of touch-enabled hardware that was designed with Windows 8 in mind. Still, it's telling that "Start menu replacements" were the best-selling software products for Microsoft's new OS.
2014: A second major Windows 8 update arrives
You thought Windows 8.1 arrived quickly? A second update, adding still more features aimed at mollifying unhappy desktop users, was released roughly six months after Windows 8.1.
And at the Build 2014 developers conference, Microsoft promised that it would be restoring the Start menu and allowing "modern" (the new name for Metro) apps to run in a window. It's not exactly a retreat, because the touch-first interface is still at the core of the latest Windows. But it's a quick admission that the problems with Windows 8 will take some time to resolve completely.
And as the occasionally hostile reactions to Windows 8 make clear, the Windows monopoly on personal computing, which was powerful enough at the turn of the century to bring the full weight of the United States Government down on Microsoft, has ended.

A better chance for Redskins vs. Flynn?
Raiders QB situation makes game plan tougher
Your Friday morning open thread:
The winless Redskins' might be getting the break they need.
Oakland's starting quarterback, Terrelle Pryor, probably won't suit up Sunday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
"Raiders QB Terrelle Pryor, who suffered a concussion Monday night, is unlikely to play Sunday vs. Washington, per sources," Schefter tweeted late Thursday.
Pryor, who was limited in practice Thursday, leads all quarterbacks in rushing with 198 yards, including four of 20 or more yards. His backup is 28-year-old Matt Flynn, who has started two NFL games and has been beaten out in successive training camps by Russell Wilson and Pryor.

Developing online games is an enduring process. Besides the product quality, customer service, support and an active community, management are taking centre stage." – Craig McNicol, Managing Director of Koch Media.

Whenever I make an appointment, I'm always confident that they're going to be ready for me at my scheduled time. At other places I've been to, it's always bothered me when they postpone my appointment, but they've never done that here. I didn't wait long at all. My appointment started on time, and the wait was much shorter than other offices I have been to. I knew I was getting top-of-the-line treatment when they told me about what they learned at the latest conference they attended, and how they were incorporating that knowledge into the practice. I never have to worry about them overbooking appointments. They definitely believe in quality over quantity here and it is much appreciated. It is obvious that their office is cleaned regularly. It was fantastic.

Joff Hopkins
Joff's here Sunday to Thursday nights from 7pm.
Whether you're chilling out after work, or heading off for the nightshift - I'll be here on your radio playing great songs into the small hours.
You'll hear me chatting to the people making the music too - from Gary Barlow and Cheryl Cole to Chrissie Hynde and George Ezra.
And every Thursday night after 9pm, film journo Mark Searby is on with his pick of the weekend's movies on TV.
So... in case you're interested... I was born at a very young age to my parents, who raised me on a diet of Queen, Blondie, and the instrumental group Sky. I remember writing to Father Christmas and asking for some music "that had a good beat". I got an awful electro-synth type album, which at the time I thought was brilliant... listening back, a lot of it really isn't.
My taste in music these days remains pretty eclectic - my collection ranges from Daft Punk and Ellie Goulding to The Corrs and Justin off CBeebies on the telly.
Away from the studio, my young family keep me busy. Owen (3 going on 13) loves going to the zoo, while Emily (1 year-and-a-bit) likes chewing on Owen's LEGO. When I'm not trying to keep them from throwing toys at each other, you'll find me hunting for somewhere new to have a coffee.

Caption: Move within the Brains Cells: Cortex in Metallic Pastels is a first-place illustration by Greg Dunn that communicates the layered structure of the cerebral cortex, resembling a forest. The stylized painting, derived from Asian principles, uses gold leaf, aluminum, acrylic dye and other materials to uncover the beauty of microscopic cells in the brain. The artist explains that the neurons are painted by a technique wherein pigments are blown across the canvas using jets of air, a technique that closely emulates the spontaneous, random branching patterns of actual neurons.

- About Deakin
05 June, 2013
Students could be required to study science and maths through to the senior school years and both subjects beefed up as prerequisite to science-related university courses if key findings from research carried out at the request of Australia's Chief Scientist, Professor Ian Chubb, are acted on.
The findings, which include valuing engineering as equivalent to law as a generic preparation for careers in business and government, pull no punches about how to improve Australian's skills in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.
They were made in the STEM: Country Comparisons project, co-authored by Deakin University's Professor of Science Education, Russell Tytler, and Melbourne University's Professor Simon Marginson and Drs Brigid Freeman and Kelly Roberts and launched by Professor Chubb on behalf of the Australian Council of Learned Academies today. (5 June)
The report compares Australian's participation and competencies in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) with 26 comparison countries and considers whether Australia can use their experiences to increase its productivity and international competitiveness in STEM.
Professor Tytler summarised the features of high performing STEM countries such as Finland, Shanghai, Korea, and Canada as including high status of teachers and a focus on disciplinary depth and meritocratic advancement, a strong commitment to learning across the socio-economic spectrum, an emphasis on creativity and critical thinking, and a strong national policy framework driving innovation.
Professor Tytler, who is based at the University's Waurn Ponds campus, in Geelong, said the timing of the report was particularly significant when considered against recent announcements by major employers Ford and Shell to close operations in the city.
"The reality now is that science and technology has a ubiquitous role across our lives," he said.
"There are many human activities and problems, such as the use of energy, global warming and health and medical care where understanding them requires at least a basic scientific and technological knowledge and confidence.
"Economically as well, we need an ever-growing proportion of the workforce to have quantitative and symbolic skills and basic scientific knowledge.
"In manufacturing and farming for instance most workers require some scientific and technological literacy and this is increasingly true in education and health.
"This means that academic and vocational programs need to be strong in science, technology, maths and engineering skills.
"As Geelong restructures its economy and considers the skills its population will need in the future findings of this report is something for the City to seriously consider."
Professor Tytler said the findings of the report indicated the need to tackle two key issues – increasing the numbers of students studying Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths subjects and ensuring teachers had the skills to support students in the creative and critical thinking that this entailed.
"Currently Australian students see a failure to achieve in science and maths as a lack of capability, whereas in our East Asian comparator countries everyone is seen as having the capability and excellence comes through effort," he said.
"Work at Deakin and at other universities have identified successful strategies which build students' optimism and resilience in their abilities to solve problems.
"These students may have otherwise been identified as untalented and unsuccessful in mathematics."
Professor Tytler said if Australia was serious about developing a population which had strong Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths skills then it had include students from low socio economic and indigenous backgrounds.
"Currently the education system is fragmented, with students proficient in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths in public and private schools in high socio economic status areas.
"This is at odds with our strongest comparator countries who emphasise participation in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths for all students."
Professor Tytler said Australia has a longer tail of under-performing students than nearest comparator Canada. "In the PISA international assessment we do well, but 28% of students in the poorest quarter of the population fall below the mathematical literacy benchmark for being able to participate in work and life as productive citizens, compared to 4% for the top quarter.
"The figure is 40% for indigenous students – a performance gap equivalent to almost two years' schooling"
"It is worth us looking closely at the work Canada is doing in this area where their teaching is culturally responsive, indigenous elders are involved and indigenous knowledge is incorporated into the study of science," he said.
"On the basis of this report, advancing the teaching of Science Technology Engineering and Maths
and learning for Australian indigenous students needs wide discussion."
Professor Tytler said the report acknowledged the reasons why students opted out of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths subjects, particularly at primary school, including the need to have positive experiences with the subjects as well as the career paths they offered.
"The problem we have is that while knowledge about effective teaching of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths subjects has advanced, inertia in the system means that many schools and teachers adhere to traditional teaching approaches " he said.
"So a traditional maths or science lesson could focus on delivery of knowledge and practice of set piece problems, a more engaging lesson would involve inquiry and problem solving with students using critical and imaginative thinking.
"The situation is reinforced by assessment that maintains a focus on testing a comprehensive coverage of concepts at a relatively low level of reasoning and problem solving."
Professor Tytler said the situation in schools was often exacerbated, particularly in maths, by the number of teachers teaching in areas outside their chosen field – a phenomena found in Australia but not comparator countries.
"One in four year 7-10 maths classes is taught by a teacher without any university mathematics!" he said.
Professor Tytler said an important part of the solution outlined in the report lay in not having teachers teaching out of field.
The report also canvasses, specific salaries for teachers teaching science and maths, encouraging teachers taking higher degrees and encouraging Phds proficient in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths subjects to teach in schools.
"Australia also has a low incidence of primary school teachers with major studies in science or mathematics, unlike our comparator countries," he said.
"We know that the student experience in the primary and early secondary years are strongly indicative of their eventual choice.
"If we are to help students keep open the possibility of Science Technology Engineering and Maths subjects and choose a career in that area or even engage productively with the science and maths as citizens then the maths and science experiences before the middle years of schooling needs to be positive and engaging and the students need to be aware of the range of people and activities comprising Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths in society."
"There are no short-cuts here."

WASHINGTON (AP) - A group of technical experts says BP and its contractors missed and ignored warning signs before the massive oil well blowout in the Gulf of Mexico.
In a report released last night, the panel convened by the National Academy of Engineering says the companies failed to learn from "near misses." And it says neither BP nor its contractors caught or corrected flawed decisions that contributed to the blowout -- and that federal regulators missed them as well.

Can liquid nails be used to add tile rows above tub/shower
So I got the walls tiled up to about 6 feet and looked to finish the wall abobe it and decided maybe shoulda went all the way up. There is green board up already and I dont want to take it down and add backer. Is it good to put tile up there with liquid nails? will it hold? and then grout over it. should I or even can I use thinset on the green board instead?
If tiling over the green is not good then I will paint or maybe sheet goods. It might sound a little uncaring or Mickey mouse but just want to finsh now. i have learned a lot and expect my next bathroom job to be much nicer Much Much nicer. Dont realy want people to know I did this one.
Thinset will work just fine with the greenboard---some like to prime the board first---I never have --and that never caused me trouble---
Forget the liquid nails---way to slow to set---thinner than thinset---and much to messy and expensive----It would work---but more trouble that it's worth---

Over the past decade, through his writing in The New Yorker magazine and his books Complications and Better, Atul Gawande has made a name for himself as a writer of exquisitely crafted meditations on the problems and challenges of modern medicine. His latest book, The Checklist Manifesto, begins on familiar ground, with his experiences as a surgeon. But before long it becomes clear that he is really interested in a problem that afflicts virtually every aspect of the modern world--and that is how professionals deal with the increasing complexity of their responsibilities. It has been years since I read a book so powerful and so thought-provoking.
Gawande begins by making a distinction between errors of ignorance (mistakes we make because we don't know enough), and errors of ineptitude (mistakes we made because we don't make proper use of what we know). Failure in the modern world, he writes, is really about the second of these errors, and he walks us through a series of examples from medicine showing how the routine tasks of surgeons have now become so incredibly complicated that mistakes of one kind or another are virtually inevitable: it's just too easy for an otherwise competent doctor to miss a step, or forget to ask a key question or, in the stress and pressure of the moment, to fail to plan properly for every eventuality. Gawande then visits with pilots and the people who build skyscrapers and comes back with a solution. Experts need checklists--literally--written guides that walk them through the key steps in any complex procedure. In the last section of the book, Gawande shows how his research team has taken this idea, developed a safe surgery checklist, and applied it around the world, with staggering success.
The danger, in a review as short as this, is that it makes Gawande's book seem narrow in focus or prosaic in its conclusions. It is neither. Gawande is a gorgeous writer and storyteller, and the aims of this book are ambitious. Gawande thinks that the modern world requires us to revisit what we mean by expertise: that experts need help, and that progress depends on experts having the humility to concede that they need help. --Malcolm Gladwell

***** Nothing to Hide: The False Tradeoff between Privacy and Security. By Daniel J. Solove. Yale University Press, yalepress.yale.edu; 256 pages; $25.
Incidents that raise questions about online security and privacy rights are a common occurrence. Books about these issues are equally plentiful, but none that I have seen addresses the issue in more detail or with greater insight than this work by Daniel Solove, a professor at George Washington University's Law School.
In Nothing to Hide: The False Tradeoff between Privacy and Security, Solove expands on his previous work to examine how developments in technology have enhanced the ability of government and others who can afford it to track what we do, where we go, and other facets of our daily life—all in the name of enhanced security. In an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand book, Solove concisely reveals the fallacies of many security arguments that justify intrusions into our lives. He also provides cogent examples of how the security-privacy balance can be properly restored.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) -- The Woodbridge Group is expanding its automotive supply business in Chattanooga with a new plastic products plant that will be located off Amnicola Highway.
The company has two divisions already operating in Chattanooga and has a manufacturing plant that employs about 160 workers. The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports that the Woodbridge Chattanooga Formed Plastics will be setting up their facility in a former carpet warehouse.
John Zianis, vice president of the Woodbridge Group's Formed Plastics Business Unit, said the company has been operating in the city for 25 years and the new facility will improve their automotive positioning in the region.
The company declined to say how many employees would be hired for the new facility. The company will spend $2 million to renovate the warehouse.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Dustin Keller vividly recalls the last time the Jets traveled to the unfriendly confines of Seattle.
He may not want to, of course. But he does nonetheless.
"It was 2008 ... and it was loud," Keller said. "It snowed that day, so people were throwing snowballs at me. I was ducking a lot of them."
The Jets could not manage any offense that day and lost, 13-3. The Seahawks - and their stadium and fans - had a lot to do with it.
"It was tough playing there, especially for me," Keller said. "If you go into a game like this and not make any plans to handle (the noise), you could be in a load of trouble."
OK, so CenturyLink Field might not be the best place for the Jets (3-5) to turn things around and get back in the AFC East race. But the schedule says they have to go, so they might as well be prepared.
The Seahawks (5-4), who rely on the crowd and an intimidation factor second to none in the NFL - are 4-0 at home this season.

Jean Mansel is happy an 80-pound statue of Jesus is part of her life again.
Mansel and her husband were devastated after someone swiped the statue from a pedestal in their front yard in Kent County's Oakfield Township. A ransom note was left in their mailbox on Thursday.
At first, it was believed neighbors took the statue because of a dispute over whether Mansel has been picking up after her four wiener dogs.
But it turns out a neighbor didn't make off with the statue.
Mansel tells WZZM-TV that it was taken by relatives but she declined to explain. She'd only say the whole ordeal has now become a family situation.

ACROSS the street from my aviation facility are homes and apartments that the city has allowed builders to construct. And it is for this reason that the operators at the Van Nuys Airport have taken a ``bad rap'' by the surrounding residences. The city of Los Angeles has ignored the requests by the airport operators not to allow the building of homes and apartments near the airport, as it will only cause friction between aviation operators and residences over airport noise.
Now, because of the city's past mistakes, the city has proposed an airport noise ordinance that will have a severe negative impact on the aviation operators on the airport and the communities throughout the Valley that depend on the airport.
The airport's own outside independent consultant along with others have estimated that the loss of jobs will be in the hundreds and the loss of revenue to the area in the hundreds of millions of dollars if the City Council passes the proposed ordinance.
Already one major corporation's flight department has moved to Burbank Airport instead of Van Nuys as a result of the proposed noise ordinance.
Van Nuys Airport, the fifth busiest airport in the country, employs more than 10,000 workers and is the largest economic engine in the Valley, contributing more than $1.2 billion to the local economy.
The city and the Valley can ill afford to place severe economic restrictions on this airport to placate a small number of residents in an area of 1.5 million households.
Some area residents say that the noise is getting worse, but in fact the noise contour of the airport has shrunk by more than 20 percent from the forecasted noise contour in the Federal Aviation Administration's Part 150 study, to less than .008 per square mile of incompatible land use area in the noise contour. In comparison to LAX, which does not have any noise regulations, Van Nuys Airport's noise contour of incompatible land use is less than 1 percent of the Los Angeles International Airport.
Homeowners against the airport have also complained that their home values have gone down significantly because of the noise caused by Van Nuys Airport. But a recent survey, conducted by an outside independent real estate service, has shown that their home values increased substantially, especially in Encino and Sherman Oaks where home values have increased by double digits, leading the Southern California area.
What is so ironic about the proposed noise ordinance is that it will cause more noise instead of less and also shift additional noise to neighboring communities around the Burbank and Los Angeles airports. This is because aircraft seeking not to violate the city's proposed ordinance will drop off their passengers at Van Nuys Airport and then fly to neighboring Burbank or LAX airports to base their aircraft. Therefore, instead of one landing and departure, there will be multiple landings and departures thereby transferring the noise.
It is further ironic that the city of Los Angeles is threatening to sue Burbank Airport because of noise that it now wants to transfer to Burbank Airport.
There are issues with the proposed noise ordinance other than transference of noise. The city will most likely have to defend lawsuits filed by the operators on the airport and by trade groups. This will be expensive and costly to the city's taxpayers. The assistant city attorney for the Los Angeles World Airports has admitted in writing that the passage of the ordinance will cause the city to be exposed to an unknown amount of monetary damages by the airport operators. The only defense that the city is relying on a is so-called exemption under federal law, which allows airports to grandfather in regulations. But such a regulation has to have been initiated by the city of Los Angeles City Council prior to October of 1989. Records show that this was never done.
The proposed noise ordinance is not the solution at Van Nuys Airport. It only allows city and government officials in the Valley to wash their hands of this issue so they can proclaim to their constituents that they did something.
Instead, if they pass this ordinance, they will transfer noise to neighboring communities, cause hundreds of people to lose their jobs, lose millions of dollars of tax base, and enter the city into potential lawsuits for which the taxpayers will eventually have to pay, as they so frequently do.
The City Council must not ignore the vote by the Van Nuys Airport Advisory Committee; it must not ignore the pleas of its Van Nuys Airport tenants; and it must not ignore the anti-airport homeowner groups who also oppose this ordinance.
The City Council should listen to its community and its businesses and reject this ill-conceived ordinance, which is being mistaken by all sides and seriously pushed only by certain council members with broader political careers that create appeal for free publicity at the cost of the city.

Idaho Falls leaders seek to ease congestion on Hitt Rd
Some major changes could be coming to Hitt Road as Idaho Falls city leaders look at options to ease congestion at the intersection of 17th Street and Hitt.
"It's always packed," said driver Annika Daldwin.
"I've seen a lot of wrecks here. It would be nice if they had it figured out a little better," said driver Danny Hayes.
Friday morning, City Council held a special meeting to discuss the issue. While members don't have many specifics, they are considering adding designated right-turn lanes.
"That involves construction and that involves obtaining more property to be able to do that," said Mayor Rebecca Casper. "We learned today that construction would be so wide at five or six lanes that we'd have to have a custom-made signal arm."
The city is also considering widening Hitt Road south of Sunnyside Road before the arrival of a Cabela's store in May 2015.
"The amount of traffic is only increasing on Hitt Road and will only continue to increase," said Idaho Falls councilman Thomas Hally.
Before Idaho Falls can decide what it will do, it must first meet with the city of Ammon.
Casper said she's working to reschedule an April 18 meeting.
