|We should also mention that Sony is reporting to us (in light of our post from last Friday) that the issues with regard to hardware compatibility with the new 50 GB BD-ROM discs has been (or is being) resolved as well. So good news for you Blu-ray fans out there. We're going to be visiting Sony in the near future to learn more on this, so stay tuned for that.

Two hikers exiting The Wave. It seems a shame to walk on this beautiful rock but you can only enter and exit by walking through The Wave itself. The hikers give the viewer some idea of the size/scale of the terrain and I think that adds to the image.
Time of day and light is always an issue for photographers. How early must I get up in the morning to "get good light" is the question. With The Wave you leave as early as you can to enjoy the hike and photograph along the way. As long as you are on location sometime before 10 o'clock light should be good since you are facing due north for most of the shots of The Wave itself. In the afternoon shadows cut across the bowl of The Wave and spoil the image. Late in the afternoon you want to photograph The Second Wave which is close at hand.
As you see, once again, much of my travel planning is focused on my camera work. However, just being in a place like this is enough for most people I am sure.

Are you a "team player who can solve problems, organize your work, and communicate effectively"? Then you have the skills and abilities that employers value in their new hires, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) most recent employer survey. NACE announced the result of its Job Outlook 2014 survey of college recruiting members wherein employers rated the importance of candidate skills/qualities as follows:
1. Ability to work in a team structure
2. Ability to make decisions and solve problems
3. Ability to plan organize, and prioritize work
4. Ability to verbally communicate with persons inside and outside the organization
5. Ability to obtain and process information
6. Ability to analyze quantitative data
7. Technical knowledge related to the job
8. Proficiency with computer software programs
9. Ability to create and/or edit written reports
10. Ability to sell or influence others
Now that you know the soft skills that employers value, take the opportunity to make these skills part of your brand. Review the list, consider where you have demonstrated each of these skills and keep track of them. For example, where did you show your ability to work in a team structure? Think about the times you played a collaborative role: Were you part of a committee that planned a charity fund raiser? Did you work with like minded students to start a new campus organization? Did you work with other tutors to develop activities for an after school literacy program? Then be sure to include evidence of these team work skills in your resume. Additionally, by matching your experience to these valued skills, you'll be prepared to answer behavioral questions about teamwork and other skills in a job interview.
On the other hand, if there is little evidence of these highly rated skills in your personal experience, it's time to look for opportunities to further develop your team work, problem solving, organizational and communication skills. Get started now!

[warning]There is an attempt to silence free speech I am aware off. I was unaware of the struggles of many Indian and Chinese Malaysians in the light of racism by the majority Malays. And Tiga's been under pressure to stop blogging about racism and support for a status quo that's not fair.[/warning]
Pass it on. Tiga fears that no one will read what it's like. So with that in mind, I am protecting her blog posts on the Malaysia here. I know Tiga's more "agnostic/areligious" than flag burning balls to the wall atheist like myself.
I'm so exhausted after a day at the Emergency Department. I'm posted there for my current rotations and it's been incredibly fun.
I was about to turn in before I saw a post about someone getting annoyed about people expressing political views on facebook. I also realised this person is as dimwitted as most narrow-minded politicians in Malaysia and is one of the closet modern Malays who champion for bumiputra (land-owner) rights in Malaysia. This person who claims to be close to her Chinese and Indian friends is a strong supporter of Malay supremacy. The same supremacy that lets our government use tax payer's money from 'second-class citizens' to pay for her middle-class family's trips to the UK ever so often.
I am disappointed in these people the most. True racists express their views and are smart enough to not claim to be close to their non-Malay friends. At least there's no hypocrisy there. However, hypocrisy is worse. Sure, be a racist. Plenty of them out there in the world.
A hypocrite though, is distasteful. It is cowardly and despicable. Because it means you have a stand but know it's wrong and are afraid to voice it out AND practice what you think in public.
Hate isn't a good thing to feel. It is tiring and makes me weary. But if I could rid the planet of hypocrites such as you, I would.
Your cowardice disgusts me and your closet bigotry is appalling.

Anxiety Issues in 3 year old
|Wed, 11-16-2011 - 8:47pm
I apologize in advance that this is a bit scattered and long, but I'm so confused and just not sure if I'm doing enough for my child.
|Thu, 11-17-2011 - 8:06pm
Thank you for the warm welcome, and thank you so much, Caren, for the thoughtful reply.
|Wed, 11-23-2011 - 9:08pm
I am lurking here. I have a 9 year old with Sensory issues (I tend to stick to the hypotonia board for some reason...) and anxiety. I think that Caren gave great suggestions. My son was anxious in many of the same ways your son is (transitions were killer). Finally in 2nd grade we ended up in a psychiatrist's office for attention issues. (there is a long story on how we got there but we will cut to the chase) He was diagnosed with anxiety and the dr put him on the lowest dose of prozac. I was freaked out...never thought it would work (I was thinking that ritalin was where we were heading). It was night and day as far as living with this child. He was still his sweet self but the edge was gone. The walking on eggshells feeling with living with him...so reduced. It was a miracle. He is happier. He is more focused at school (still has sensory issues but they are reduced). We are calmer in our home. I wanted to add that as a possible option (he is so young yet, I know) that maybe your path will lead you there. I am so thankful someone was able to see that it was necessary on top of many of the other tools Caren suggested.

pretty swag border at the top. I did keep the green ceiling and added colorful butterflies to it.

Press Coverage
28th February 2011
More Than Just Beef
Gaucho is renowned for serving London's best Argentinean steak. By the end of the year, we're sure the restaurant will be known for much more than it's first-rate meat
It's going to be a busy year for Gaucho. The coming months will see the company play host to a series of unique and exciting events that promise to take dining experiences to the next level.
Festivities kick off on 24th January with the 'Divine Bovine' evening at gaucho Piccadilly@ a night dedicated to the celebration of what the restaurant grew famous for its steak. Featuring an indulgent five-course dinner, showcasing the versatility Argentina's Aberdeen Angus beef, the event allows guests to join Gaucho's group head chef Mike Reid for a series of masterclasses that explain how the meat is prepared, and why.
Exactly one month later on 24th February, the arena plays host to the first ever gaucho International Polo event expected to be attended by over 12,500 people, and Gaucho will provide the event's corporate hospitality. Packages in the restaurant include a champagne reception with Team Argentina Captain, Nachos Figueras, as five-course meal and access to the arena's VIP seating, Champagne Lounge and after-party.
"We have always embraced polo as its international sport of Argentina, where the restaurant's steaks and wines come from," says Martin Williams, Gaucho Restaurants operations director. "So for us to have our name to what will be the biggest indoor polo event ever, with the greatest players from the UK and Argentina in the world's most popular venue, is going to be amazing."
'Gaucho of London' is the third event: a 65 foot Sunseeker (the stunning Predator 62 model) will be moored on the River Thames and available for private chartering. "We have had a huge demand for our 'Meet the Winemaker' and 'Divine Bovine' dinners." Says Martin, "so we thought, what would be more fun than a Gaucho personal dining experience with your own chef and sommelier, or a cocktail and canapé party on board our beautiful boat?" The answer was not a lot and they decided to offer exclusive charters that included dining for up to eight guests.
The experience begins with a Champagne Reception and starters served in Gaucho Tower Bridge. The yacht then moves to Gaucho Canary for the main course before dessert is served in Gaucho's private box at The O2. The night culminates with a concert held at the arena.
And for the ultimate Valentine's Day extravagance, 'One hour Valentine's charters' are currently available, starting at £1,000.
In addition, 2011 also witnesses Gaucho create a pop-up restaurant at the Snow Polo in Sweden and devise a bespoke one week Argentinean break in Mendoza. Visitors of the polo event will enjoy the best that the sport and Gaucho has to offer, while guests holidaying in Argentina are taken to visit vineyards, watch the harvest and meet top-end wine makers, all while staying in stunning boutique hotels.
As Martin explains, "our guests really embrace unique dining experiences." For anyone set to attend one of Gaucho's several forthcoming events, a unique dining experience is exactly what they can expect.

A lost episode from season five! In this game, the playable characters change depending on what part of the story line you're in. Each character handles differently and has different moves and powers, too, so you've got to stay on your toes. The First (aka Pure Evil) has a plan to bleed the dimensions and kill off humanity once and for all. Buffy and her cohorts -- Willow, Xander, Spike, Tara, Giles, Anya, Faith (another slayer) and Sid the Dummy -- have to stop it. With you at the controls, will they succeed?

Monday, April 07 14:55:38
Ireland's effective corporate tax rate, the rate at which firms actually pay tax, stood at on average at between 10.7pc and 10.9pc, according to a Technical Paper from the Department of Finance today.
It concludes that the data from the CSO and Revenue Commissioners provide the best estimate of the effective rate of Corporation Tax on the total profits that are subject to Irish tax.
It shows that, since 2003, these have averaged 10.9pc and 10.7pc respectively.
The paper was commissioned by the Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform last November amid growing international and national pressure on Ireland's corporate tax regime.
The Department of Finance commissioned Seamus Coffey, Lecturer in Economics in University College Cork, to conduct the work jointly with Kate Levey, a tax-qualified Assistant Principal in the Fiscal Policy Division of the Department of Finance.
A company resident in Ireland is liable to Corporation Tax on its worldwide profits. Whether or not these profits are brought into Ireland is irrelevant. For Irish resident companies with foreign-source profits, double taxation relief is available for corporate income tax paid in other jurisdictions. A company that is not resident in Ireland for tax purposes but which has a taxable presence in Ireland will only be liable for Corporation Tax on its profits sourced in Ireland.
The 'effective' rate of tax is generally understood to mean the tax paid as a percentage of the profits of companies.
The taxable base in respect of corporate profits in Ireland is very broad as evidenced by the fact that the effective rates of tax shown under the two separate model company approaches are close to the statutory headline rate of 12.5pc, the Paper concluded.
The researchers used different methodologies to assess effective tax rates - one being the "model company" method produced for the European Commission in 2012, which showed an effective Irish tax rate of 14.4pc while a second methodology from the World Bank and PwC came up with a rate of 12.3pc. Neither takes account of tax incentives.
A second, far more complex approach is to look at the average corporate tax burden of the entire corporate sector in a country and this came up with a range of between 8.3pc and 10.9pc using two measure of "economic profit".
Using the Revenue Commissioners' approach and measure of "taxable porofit" came up with rates ranging between 10.7pc and 11.9pc.

According to Vedas, cow is earth representative and ox is a simbol of religion principles. Lord Krishna Himself, when he came to this world, had poinetd out how much he loves cows and cares for their protection. When the ox and cow are satisfied, people in the world are satisfied too. Ox helps in cereals production, and cow gives us milk and so many other milk products. In that way, human society becomes enlarged economicaly and in that simple living man shouldn´t have economical problems.
The goal of cow protection is a peace of mankind. Extremely sinful act of cow killing is cause of all kinds of troubles. In vedic society, cow is considered to be the one of our mothers because she nourishes us with her milk. So we have 7 persons which we have to respect as our own mother..One of them is a cow, and other are our biological mother, mother Earth, mother of a guru etc... That´s why cow killing is a very sinful activity, practically the same thing like if you kill your own mother. People are not conscious what are they doing in the name of economical development. By establishing cow protection we will relieve ourselves from ecological and social problems, which will also help us to create spiritual and peaceful earth for the future.
Srila Prabhupada said: " We want to disenable a sloughter houses conservation. It is very sinful activity. In Europe there are so many wars. Very 10-15 years there is a war, massacre of all humankind. The leaders of society don´t see this. But the reaction is necessary. The nature will take revenge."

Ossie Clark attracted style-conscious clients to London, offering them a fresh alternative to staid, traditional couture and reinforcing the city's position as a leading fashion centre. Clark was an explorer, discovering new shapes, silhouettes and textures. The same imagination that designed the midi- as well as the maxiskirt also composed romantic gowns of gauzy chiffon. Trousers for women, still forbidden at the grand hotels, were transformed into fashion essentials.
Like other designers of the period, Ossie Clark used an extraordinary range of surface decoration - embroidery, appliqué, beads and lacing. But beyond the typical enthusiasms of 1960s dressing, Clark welcomed the challenge of working with unusual materials such as snakeskin. In addition, he fearlessly mixed different prints in the same garment and branched out to design a limited but popular range of menswear.
Dress 1970
Ossie Clark was unafraid to combine different prints in a single garment. The dress in this photograph uses a bold floral pattern combined with a star motif for the waist tie and a grid pattern for the bodice ruffles.

Ensemble 1979
By the end of the 1970s Ossie Clark had stopped designing commercially. Alice Pollock dissolved her partnership with him in 1973 and his marriage ended the following year. Clark attempted to revive his career, but without success. Nevertheless, the elaborate quilting of this glam-rock jacket is characteristic of some of his best work.
Kid leather and lace
Dress 1971
The skirt of this dress is cleverly pieced together from two different lengths of fabric, a small multicolour floral print and a bolder red poppy print. They coil around the figure in two continuous strands. This construction demonstrates Clark's superb understanding of the interaction between clothes and a woman's body.

Jacket 1967
Shown here is one of Ossie Clark's innovations: snakeskin clothing. In 1966 Clark discovered rolls of unused snakeskin in a warehouse. The designs that resulted - subtle exoticism in classic shapes - were an instant success. The unexpected material updates the bomber shape.
Watersnake jacket
Lounge suit 1971
Ossie Clark experimented with different embroidery techniques. Here a scattering of embroidered strawberries animates a lounge suit modelled by Jean Shrimpton.

Dress 1971
An Ossie Clark design could be both delicate and complex. In this romantic creation, he enlivens a simple shape with a single spiral of ruffles. Winding its way around the body, it creates the impression of layer upon layer of fabric
Printed chiffon
Dress 1970
Cream chiffon dress with purple floral print.
Lent by Alfred Radley
Ossie Clark was interested in the power of photography as a creative medium. In the late 1960s he collaborated with the photographer Jim Lee in finding new and unexpected ways to present his clothes.
With suggestions from Clark and unfettered by editorial rules, Lee produced a series of provocative images. These narrative scenes contrast markedly with mainstream fashion photographs of Clark's work. Lee used some of Clark's favourite models such as Kerri-Ann Jagger and Gala Mitchell. Several of these images became posters in the Quorum shop.

Breaking free of traditional fashion shows, with their calm, measured presentation, Ossie Clark turned his shows into theatrical events. They were held at venues like the Albert Hall and Dingwalls dance hall in Camden. In attendance were rock stars and artists, the rich and the fashionable.
The Vogue photograph shows celebrities and top models dancing down the catwalk. The programme for the 1971 show at the Royal Court theatre was designed by David Hockney. Fashion journalist Suzy Menkes said of the show,'It was the most extraordinary moment in fashion history.'

Surf Ski In Flat Water
Posted by: lckcpaddler2 on Aug-23-13 11:59 AM (EST) Category: Kayaks
What are your thoughts of surf skis in flat water? I know there are some claims that they can be as fast as the Olympic style K1s but I wanted to see if there are any skilled surf ski paddlers out there who can confirm?
I am thinking about getting this Huki and so that is why I am interested in the speed..

It's a nice boat
Posted by: Andy_Szymczak on Aug-23-13 1:45 PM (EST)
Have you ever paddled a ski before? If not, make sure you have someone take a video of you the first time.
not as fast as a k1
Posted by: nickjc on Aug-23-13 2:04 PM (EST)
Still plenty fast though. Cruising speed for most people is about 7 mph. Sprint speed about 10mph. Much more forgiving and stable than a K1 though.
Probably depends

I Do Hope You're Not Confusing
Posted by: clydehedlund on Aug-23-13 6:14 PM (EST)
The S1-X with the more narrower and shorter S1-Z? They are two entirely different skis. The S1-Z was designed for flat water and is compared to K-1s. While the S1-X was designed for what surfskis do best: milk the bumps. Two years ago, I bought a used S1-X for my 13 year old daughter, which is her preferred ski for doing an Alan Davis run on Oahu. For flat water, she prefers her low volume Fenn Spark, which she raced at the US Surfski Champs this summer.
Posted by: cliffrnatp on Aug-25-13 9:16 AM (EST)
The S1X is an older design, but still a fast hull with good stability. Biggest complaint with the S1X is the high hump, and the uphill feeling, but still a good boat and a great first race boat. Very very few paddlers will be faster in a K1, as they take a long time to master. Only the full comp K1s can be faster, and only with a fully stable paddler. I paddle a V14, and a Vajda Infusion, and I am consistently faster in the 14 because I am more stable and can pull harder. Also, heavier paddlers will benefit more from the ski due to it's longer length. The S1X will only be a bit slower than the 14, or any of the other rocket skis, but will be a world more stable.

"We recognize that in the interrelated context of our contemporary lives, inter-religious cooperation is no longer an option but a necessity. One could say that to be religious today is to be inter-religious. Religion will prosper in this century only to the extent that we can maintain a sense of community among people of different religious beliefs who work together as a human family to achieve a world of peace."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Be afraid. Be very afraid.
That's the overriding sentiment of a rash (and I do mean rash) of doom-and-gloom messages, er, shameless sales pitches thinly veiled as helpful hints for the holiday traveler, that have been flooding my inbox the past week or so.
A pediatric ear, nose and throat specialist likens holiday travel with kids to "a game of Russian roulette ... there is a decent chance that you and/or your kids may have a cold the week you plan to fly."
From a "noted" bed bug expert: "... the risk of exposure to bed bugs will rise during the peak holiday travel seasons. (His boldface, not mine.)
A firm selling travel insurance tsk tsks over the fact that respondents to their survey aren't sufficiently fretting about crime when they travel. Most of the nation's major airports are in high-crime areas, it warns. (And since when does anyone hang around outside airports?)
Going to Grandma's for Thanksgiving? Bad idea, if you heed warnings from an online weather site, which notes that tornados, blizzards and dust storms could strike, at least if previous years (dating back to The Great Thanksgiving Storm of 1950 when 30 inches of snow and 40 mph winds knocked out eastern Ohio) are any indication.
One of umpteen holiday travel forecasts from an online booking site predicts flight delays, crowded airports, congested security lines, overbooked planes ... (So what else is new?)
We've been doing the TSA security checkpoint shuffle for a decade now, but a third of American travelers would still like to hurl a lump of coal at TSA personnel, according to yet another online survey.
And this just in: Fewer Americans will be traveling for the holidays this year! So says the Maritz Holiday Travel Poll, which is predicting the sharpest such drop (a paltry 11% of respondents said they were traveling over Thanksgiving and only 16% are heading off over the winter holidays) since the annual poll began seven years ago. That's 8 million fewer households hitting the road than did last year.
Hmm ... Do they know something we don't?

Places (by Hannah Jo Uy)
My mattress is firm, the rocks and pebbles underneath me nothing but dust bunnies between my sheets of concrete. It pokes my rib, the sharp miniscule edges forming bumps and bruises. My head rests on my greatest treasure.
The smoke and smog make my dreams, and through them, I can vaguely see a home, a roof, a tender touch.
The passing cars and honking jeeps make up the cacophony of the reality that I'm not a part of.
I'm late for a class that has not begun, in a school that has been built in my head as part of a memory for a future that I hope to be in. I hug the ground, my only consolation. In it, there is no judgment for my hands stained with poverty. Hands deemed unworthy of precious soap. The footsteps of the people come and go, their hurried steps.
I am part of their scenery, the pimple of society that no one will talk about, but it doesn't matter, because I continue dreaming.
The still waters hold an image I do not like to see. The cruel mirror for a life I do not want to have. The tragic evidence for the disappointments of those in my world.
I gaze in silent sadness, at my reflection. The careless wood propped up to keep me standing, the plastic tarps that have been thrown around me to keep me warm. The rusty nails used to keep me together.
Once upon a time, I was hopeful.
Once upon a time, it was all temporary.
Once upon a time, I thought I could be beautiful.
Maybe one day, I could be.
He wakes up hopeful. Back aching from the wires sticking out of the mattress, he stretches and dusts off the mosquitos that have bitten into his scarred skin. He fixes his bed, smoothening the mismatched sheets and tucking them under the tattered cushion. He walks carefully, trying to avoid the falling planks of wood underneath him, and goes to the bathroom. Washing his face meticulously, careful not to waste soap and water he tries to tune out the noisy neighbors complaining about their electricity, and the vulgar talk of sex and alcohol. He takes a towel and cleans his home. He wipes the decades old tv, the plastic monobloc chairs and table, making sure each corner is clean. He washes the dishes, scrubbing the china that he has accumulated for most of his life. Plastic, glass, chipped here and there. He sweeps his uneven floor, lovingly and tenderly. Enjoying the routine that his simple home has afforded him. He hammers back the loose nails. Paints over the scratched walls. He goes out and gathers wood to reinforce his fortress. Relishing in this simplest form of ownership. His own place in the universe, even just for this fleeting second.
Inside the boy is a spirit of adventure. He doesn't see the wearied adults bothered by everyday worries. In him is an explorer that jumps over the uneven ground as though they were the rocks of the amazon.
He sees the hanging clothes and in his mind the combination of colors is the cloths woven by the mysterious women of morocco. He eats on the floor, a happy camper surviving in the woods of New Zealand, warming himself by the.
He cares for the plastic canisters of water as a thirsty wanderer lost in the deserts of Egypt. And he hides behind the flimsy walls, looking into the lens of a stranger and seeing a world where all this is possible.
I am the river of life. A life that many have been born into, and will die from. In me is the story of their lives. The torn up love letters, the statement of bills that have soaked up the dirty juices of poverty, the wads of lottery tickets crumpled in disappointment. They are all in me.
The broken bottles of beer, the used condom, the rotten food that never made it to empty stomachs. They are all in me.
The wrappers of peanuts, the plastic from the market used to carry the slice of beef that a mother had to haggle for, the week old newspaper used to scour for jobs. They are all in me.
The wrapper for a birthday gift hard earned, the dvd case of a movie used to escape and the last letter from the brother who will never return. They are all in me.
The brown bag filled with pan de sal, the bus ticket accumulated from going to the city, the plastic spoon cherished from a rare night out. They are all in me.
The stench of crime, injustice and corruption. They are all in me.
The vomit from the fathers who drank their anger away, the blood of the mothers who were left alone, and the tears of the children who were never given a chance.
In my village is an oasis of paradise. Here, we gather together to enjoy,to relax, to forget. We play, forgetting for a moment that these shallow waters can easily mean our death. We play, forgetting that on the other side of our houses, the very same water is used to clean,to wash, to scrub. The women watch daintily from the windows up above on our house of stilts made from the slender wood that is the root of our home.
We play, forgetting the smell.
We play, forgetting our hungry stomachs.
We play, as those who have been to beaches of Miami don't know how to play.
We play, in our own piece of paradise.

Her drained soul awakens from the racket of the children. They are hungry and crying, and she doesn't know what to do. Her husband is beside her, passed out.
He smells of cigarette and women. A smell she has woken up to for the past 20 years. She gets up, ignoring her arthritis and fixes the children leftover rice from their previous dinner and salt. She goes out to get water, as she moves the curtains with her abused hands, she sees her reflection in the water. And for that moment, her heart cries for all the pain of her youth.
I am the city.
In my streets are the hurried steps of lost people going somewhere only to come back at the end of the day.
Within the walls of the houses are stories of people. I hear their laughter, from the simple joys. I hear their pain from the tragedies of life. I hear their tears from the disappointment of the years, and I hear the heavy whispers of secrets that flutter between them.
In each window is a soul. In all windows there is a collection people, simply being people. Surviving, helping, stealing and loving. I am the city, I am dirty, unloved and abused..But in my corrugated roofs of orange and red, in my mismatched tiles and overlapping wires, in my thwarted attempts of greenery is a beauty unlike any other.
The walls are stained with the faded dreams of the people. Marked with their hardships, their handprints of dirt paint the façade of what used to be a wonderful future.
Before it was a bright and shiny possibility.
Fresh from the blueprints and the innovative plans of doe-eyed architects.
Now, it is a monument of the city.
A monument of fallen plans and shattered fantasies of a better life.
On the 20th floor, a young boy looks out the window of his room. He sees a sprawling view of houses. The people like little ants hurrying from one corner to another. Splashes of bright colors make up a wall here, and a roof there. The old tarps from the advertisements of billboards and posters of unknown faces are added in every corner.
Within one of these corners, is another young boy.
He looks up at the towering buildings. The intimidating monument of glass and steel that put him to shame. From his corner of the street decorated by crumpled candy wrappers and dirty rain water, he looks up at these giants. He sees his dirty barefeet and his stomach grumbles with curiosity at what strange creatures must live on the other side.
From his room, he looks at it is a maze. He traces the edges of the houses, wondering what the stories are of those that belong to it.
I pump the water into the bucket. Filling it up to the top, until it's overflowing and greedily I take the soap. For this moment, I am clean. For this moment, I wash away the scent of my hardships. I wash away the taste of my hunger. I wash away the dirt of my surroundings. I was away the stares of people who couldn't care less. I wash away the scabs from the wounds of my youth. I wash away my disappointment, my anger and my frustrated. For this moment, I am clean and left with a future to work for.

Spiced Pumpkin Soup

I had my first pumpkin soup over Thanksgiving. A Bobby Flay recipe. Yours looks good. Now that I know I actually like pumpkin soup, I'll give it a try. Looks like it would warm me up on these cold days here.ReplyDelete

We cut up apples today and dipped them in a mix of sunflower seed butter, Agave and cinammon for dessert. My daughter discovered that she loves sunflower seed butter which is so much better for her than peanut butter! Still munching through the sunflower seed burgers, the recipe did enough to do me for a few days! WendyReplyDelete
Oh yum. I love pumpkin soup! Can't wait to make this when I'm in phase 1.ReplyDelete
That looks wonderful, Ali. I always love that little swirl on top. Making it with coconut milk for dairy free is a nice tip. WOW on the 100 lbs of winter squash You constantly amaze me! No pie pumpkins around here any more. I froze some but probably only a total of 8 cups. I think I'll save mine to make 4 pies instead. ;-) So, thanks for the butternut squash suggestion. I've been eating soup for days now ... it's the most appealing of all foods with this cold weather.ReplyDelete

I made a great soup yesterday that is in the current issue of Yoga Journal. It's called Green Soup with Sweet Potatoes and it is delish! It meets all the Phase 1 elimination diet guidelines if you leave out the fresh lemon juice at the end. I don't know about copyright laws. Is it okay to copy the recipe here? Let me know - otherwise - pick up the February issue of Yoga Journal and check it out!ReplyDelete
Hi Ali,ReplyDelete
I'm going to have to try this soup - it sounds fabulous. I found a few yummy winter squash soups on-line (that I made with one large Galeaux d'Eysines pumpkin)that would be great for Phase I as well.
This one is a squash and apple soup from Ina Garten (I substituted olive oil for any butter called for)
This is the second one from Foodland Ontario - This recipe needs quite a bit of substitution though, but it's well worth it. Here are the substitutions (followed by the recipe): I substituted pumpkin seeds for the pine nut/walnut garnish, and adzuki beans for the corn. I eliminated the tomato and cheese garnish and skipped the red pepper flakes. So the only garnishes were avocado, cilantro, and toasted pumpkin seeds. This soup is also fabulous with wild rice added to it.
I'm going to make your recipe this weekend!
That looks great!ReplyDelete
Thanks everyone for the comments, meal ideas, and links. I will check out the current Yoga Journal, thanks Veronica! :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for the callout, Ali! I hope you liked the soup : ) your pumpkin soup looks splendid!ReplyDelete

I am on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (for more information, see my blog), so I cannot have any syrups. Would honey be a possible substitute for the maple syrup?ReplyDelete
I made this tonight and loved it! My 6 yr old daughter and I are on the elimination diet and it's nice to find some new recipes. Thanks!ReplyDelete
I just made this soup and it was fantastic! I did not add maple syrup and I switched the apples for pears and it turned out quite tasty. This was the perfect meal for coming off a two day fast! :)ReplyDelete
I made this recipe without the oil (water cooked the onions) see <\a>http://lechateausoleil.blogspot.com/2010/02/cooking-basics-pan-frying.html<\a> for explanation. And I feel that it does not need the agave nectar if you're using the granny smiths. Plenty of sugar in those.ReplyDelete
DELICIOUS! I added cooked chickpeas at the end too, they've got a nice nutty hearty flavor instead of the white beans.
Thanks for this one!
Love this recipe! I'm including it in my Thanksgiving roundup.ReplyDelete
I recently made this recipe with yams instead of pumpkin. I omitted the maple syrup/ agave nectar. And I added a cup or two of cooked/drained white runner cannellini beans (from Rancho Gordo). Also, I used homemade chicken stock.ReplyDelete
it turned out fabulous. Thanks for such a delicious recipe. I really like the addition of the beans - thanks for that suggestion too!
Wonderful recipe! I hate ginger so I left it out and it tasted great. :)ReplyDelete
Hi Ali,ReplyDelete
The Pumpkin Spice Soup in your new cookbook calls for 2-3 cups of white beans in the ingredients list, but then does not mention when to add them. ... And this recipe, which appears to be the same as the book, does not call for beans at all. Was this a typo? I was thinking beans and pumpkin sounded pretty good. :) Thanks! ~Andrea
Andrea- Yes the beans are supposed to be in the recipe. You'll notice in the headnotes here on this post that I mention it. We love the addition white beans make to this recipe. You just add them when you add the pumpkin puree. Thanks! :)ReplyDelete
I'm on day 3 of the elimination diet and made this for dinner tonight (without the beans) -- delicious! I didn't have veggie stock ready so I added an extra carrot and celery stalk.ReplyDelete
I wanted to make this soup heartier but since I'm still on phase 1 of the Elimination Diet, beans are a no-go for me. Instead I added cooked brown rice at the very end after I pureed the soup. It turned out delicious and savory!ReplyDelete
Day 3. Made a version of this with acorn squash served over quinoa. Best soup ever!!ReplyDelete
