I'm sorry; that doesn't sound fun at all. Maybe you should try inquiring of your friends as to what the problem is. If they continue to ignore you and refuse to tell you I'd look for some new friends. It may be hard, but you don't want to hang out with people who don't want to hang out with you. I hope everything gets better for ya!
You are worth it, no matter how your ex-friends act. You are you with or without them. Maybe try confronting someone about it?
Are you hanging on to something useless just because you think it's beautiful?
--William Zinsser
Like you. you are unique as there is no one like
you other than you. That makes you special.
If others are ignoring you, or just acting strange
around you ask your best friend whats going on.
May be you are thinking things are not good when
actually nothing has changed. Talk to your counciler
at school or if school is out try your priest.
even if not religious try the MCC church near you
or the ULC ( Universal Life Church ) near you.
They both have trained people who can help/assist
with problems first hand and one on one.
Good Luck.
you are loved.

Took lots of pics , so a separate thread seemed appropriate.
The parking lot at Mendo Coast Botanical Gardens has some great combos
Neglected to write down the name of this Hellebore ..anyone know? --I love the foliage
This combo really caught my eye.
Just outside my room at the inn -thought of Woody !

Love the Anthriscus sylvestris 'Ravenswing' combo too! Very striking and rich. (I just hate that it is invasive for me, even growing in the compost. Sigh.) |
Interesting that wisteria blooms at the same time in quite differennt climates! Daylight/daylength must be more important than temperatures... |

Woody, the Wisterias are long gone here in the Napa Valley, and the Inn I stayed at on the coast is a 3 hour drive west and a tad north. This is a frost free area , but it is also 'warmth free' the average temp being 60 degrees. Temps above the mid 70's are rare . Winters are gray , wet and dark. Maybe the lack of sun translates to day length ? Kathy in Napa |
Beautiful pictures...thank you for sharing. I'm starting to get excited about my trip to the left coast. Saucy |

Wonderful, wondferful pics Kathy! just love all of them. What is the plant in the third photo? beautiful. It's always so fun to see pics from your neck of the woods because there is always a lot I don't recognize. many thanks for sharing and taking the time to post this. Deanne |
I think that plant you were asking about is Hellebore Ivory Prince |
Deanne, that's the Anthriscus sylvestris 'Ravenswing'. It spreads MADLY here. I sure love that grass with it! |
- Posted by dodgerdudette NapaCaz9 (My Page) on Sat, May 22, 10 at 11:00
Bug, I planted A. Ravenswing last year and have seen some seeding around-keeping my eyes on it ! I would hate it if I had to discontinue it ! Also think the sedge in this grouping is Carex testcea 'Orange Sedge' but I wouldn't swear to it in court of law.Unbelievably I only took one pic of this combo, a failing that will be rectified next month. Thanks for the ID Deanne.. Kathy in Napa |
I have it growing in my compost Kathy...and had to resort to spraying it. I think I let loose a monster, a very beautiful monster. If you cut off the fading blooms soon enough, that should help control it. Just dispose of the seeds somewhere safe. Off to check on the carex. ;) |

Curtis Chester Smith Pleads Guilty in U.S. Federal Cour
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Missoula, on September 30, 2011, before U.S. District Judge Donald W. Molloy, CURTIS CHESTER SMITH, a 56-year-old resident of Billings, pled guilty to 3 counts of distribution of child pornography. Sentencing has been set for January 6, 2012. He is currently detained.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Cyndee L. Peterson, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
SMITH had a Gigatribe account on his computer. Through that account, he distributed - by granting access to his GigaTribe folder on his computer and then file sharing - four files to a law enforcement officer via the Internet. The distribution occurred on July 30, 2010, and the files depicted children engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
A search warrant for SMITH's residence was obtained. Several computers as well as other media were seized.
During a forensic examination, an examiner located evidence of GigaTribe and SMITH's GigaTribe account on the computer seized from his residence. He also located hundreds of chat logs that were associated with chats about pornography, trading child pornography and talk of exploiting children.
The examiner also determined SMITH distributed images depicting children engaged in sexually explicit conduct on May 24, 2010, and June 8, 2010. That distribution occurred via the Yahoo!PhotoSharing program on his computer.
SMITH faces possible penalties of a mandatory minimum of 5 years in prison and could be sentenced to 20 years, a $250,000 fine and lifetime supervision on each count.
The investigation was a cooperative effort between the Kalispell Police Department, the Montana Division of Criminal Investigation, the Billings Police Department, and the Montana Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force.
A copy of the Offer of Proof can be obtained by contacting Sally Frank at (406) 247-4638.

The official unveiling of the 2010 Tour de France route is coming up next week, with the Giro d'Italia's to follow shortly after on October 24. And all eyes are on Lance Armstrong, who says he may race the Giro again for preparation and skip the Tour of California, which is now directly in opposition to the Giro with its new May date.
The traditional route unveilings are as much party as press conference; although you could read all about it in any number of media outlets, the team managers and many of the top riders gather in Paris and Milan for the announcement ceremonies and compete for who has the most flagrantly oversized knot in his tie or scarf.
While the general outlines of each race are already known - both the Giro and the Tour will start in the Netherlands next year (the Tour in Rotterdam; the Giro in Amsterdam); and in its typical alternating fashion the Tour will visit the Alps first, then the Pyrenees - some of the specifics are unknown. Will there be a team time trial? What are the mountaintop finishes?
One of the hottest pieces of speculation about the Tour is the role that the Col du Tourmalet will play - 2010 will be the 100th anniversary of its first inclusion, and rumors are that the race will see a mountaintop finish on the Tourmalet just three days prior to the finish in Paris. In fact, VeloNews' John Wilcockson has an oddly specific prediction of the entire 2010 Tour route, down to the km distance for each stage. We'll find out on Thursday whether Wilcockson was leaked details and has already made his hotel reservations, or if he's merely doing VN's impersonation of the NY Times' (now-abandoned) futile attempts to predict not only the victors in NFL games, but the actual final score.
Speaking of leaks, it must have chafed Gazzetta dello Sport that certain details of the 2010 Giro route got leaked to its main competitor, Tuttosport, particularly considering that Gazzetta and the Giro are both owned by RCS Sport. Included are a return to 2008's crazy mountaintop finishes on Monte Zoncolan and the individual TT stage up the Plan de Corones, which has a gravel finish. There's also reportedly a team time trial stage.
Here's where Armstrong comes in. The seven-time Tour champ intimated last week that he might race the Giro d'Italia again as preparation for the Tour rather than the Tour of California, which moves to May in 2010 in hopes of finding better weather.
Armstrong (who's also reportedly taking aim at the 2011 Ironman World Championships) would be a huge "get" for the Tour of California, based on the crowds that turned out to see him race this year. But the trip - nine time zones - from Europe back to the west coast may be a bit much. A competing school of thought says Armstrong hasn't forgotten being ridiculed by Giro director Angelo Zomegnan for his supposed role in instigating the protest that effectively neutralized the stage 9 "Milano Show" circuit race.
Snubs and travel logistics are, I think, minor concerns compared to what gets announced on October 14. What will matter most to Armstrong is the same stuff that matters to Alberto Contador, Cadel Evans, Andy Schleck and the other contenders: given the course particulars, what's the best training for the Tour?
The 2010 Giro could shape up to be another desperately hard race with long, steep climbs - maybe too hard to use just as training. And the TTT stage may be meaningless. But will the ToC, even with its May date, incorporate enough hard racing to be worthwhile training? What will be the competition? And where can you buy Michelob ULTRA in Torino?
Sir Linksalot
-Sky to ride Pinarello in 2010.
-Evans didn't win Coppa Sabatini, but he did set up teammate Phillipe Gilbert. A new Cuddles?
-Gilbert has to be a favorite for Paris-Tours Sunday. Another? Tyler Farrar - exclusive interview here with Jim Startt.
-Pave blog's weekly cyclocross rankings are out.

EPIM mandate
The SPVM's Escouade de protection de l'intégrité municipale (EPIM) has the mandate to protect the administrative integrity of the Ville de Montréal, in particular with regard to the municipal tendering process.
Working closely with authorities already in place, this squad will also introduce prevention and detection mechanisms for schemes and ploys that sully the contract tendering process. The squad members will also work on the ground and will have the power to investigate sector stakeholders and city representatives.
The EPIM's mandate is an inherent component of the SPVM's mission, which includes fighting crime.
Creation of the EPIM
In January 2013, the Mayor of Montréal announced the creation of the EPIM within the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal.
This is the first time in Canada that this type of squad has been created under the auspices of a municipal police service.
The specialized team is made up of members of the SPVM police and civilian staff who have investigative expertise. To carry out its mandate, the EPIM will work with authorities already in place at the Ville de Montréal, as well as various public security partners and stakeholders.
What type of information can I transmit to the EPIM?
The EPIM deals with information related to the administrative integrity of the Ville de Montréal, including the municipal contract tendering process.
As such, anyone may transmit to the EPIM any information that he or she feels demonstrates a wrongdoing that has been or may be committed.
All information transmitted to the EPIM will be treated in complete confidentiality. Informers are not obliged to identify themselves or disclose any personal information.
Please note that anyone wishing to report a wrongdoing that took place outside of Montreal may do so by contacting UPAC at 1-888-541-UPAC (8422).
What is a wrongdoing?
A wrongdoing is:
In relations to, for example, awarding, obtaining or performing contracts granted, in the exercise of their functions, by a body or a person belonging to the public sector;
Action taken on reports
A reference number and a password will be assigned to all reports received. This information will allow informers to transmit additional information to the EPIM in the future if they so wish.
All information transmitted to the EPIM will be analyzed by an SPVM investigator to determine the appropriate action to take.
Based on the analysis, the EPIM may launch a criminal investigation or submit a report to another existing authority.

Baseball March 11th, 2009
Marmol gave up two runs in the 11th inning to blow a save in the Dominican Republic's 2-1 WBC loss to the Netherlands. Marmol made a key throwing error on a pickoff attempt.Recommendation:
A huge upset loss for the Dominican Republic as they were eliminated from the WBC and a likely emotional blow to Marmol. Still, he has plenty of time to recover for Opening Day.

The World Belongs to Ryan Braun
November 29th, 2011Ryan Braun won the MVP award last week.
There is an argument to be made, a very good one in fact, that Matt Kemp should have won the MVP award. He had more homeruns, more steals, played a tougher position, had a better WAR and a bunch of other stuff too. Matt Kemp had a great season and if you said he should have won the MVP I wouldn't argue with you too much. These two players were very close statistically and either choice was a good one.
The justification that many are using for the choice of Braun over Kemp is that the Ryan Braun played on a playoff team and Matt Kemp didn't. This speaks to the question of what exactly the word "valuable" in Most Valuable Player is supposed to mean. Many writers who vote on these awards take the word valuable and equate it with wins and losses. Since the Brewers won a ton more games than the Dodgers that made Ryan Braun more "valuable" than Matt Kemp. This is a simple argument that is backed up by years of MVP voting going to players from winning team. It is not wrong to think this and since the word "valuable" has never been properly defined by Major League Baseball it is hard to fault the writers for voting this way. It's just the way it's always been and the way it will always be. Winners get more credit.
However, this is not why I believe Ryan Braun won the MVP. It helped, sure, but it is not the real reason that Braun was chosen over Matt Kemp. The reason I submit to you as the reason Ryan Braun won the MVP is simple: The World Belongs To Ryan Braun.
Ryan Braun, for lack of a better term, is the man. Everyone who watches him play loves him. Everyone who comes into contact with him loves him. Just look at the tweets:
Matt Kemp knows what up. When it comes down to you and Ryan Braun, you will lose. No matter who you are.
Every other team in the league wishes they had him on their team. He is on everyone's shortlist of "best players in the game" and if everything goes right he will go down in history as the greatest Milwaukee Brewer of all time. Nobody denies this. Everyone knows how special a baseball player and how special a person Ryan Braun is.
Ryan Braun has reached that special place where he can do no wrong. He's at the point now where no matter what he is hitting come the All-Star break he will be in the top 5 of voting and a shoe-in for starting outfielder every single season, even if he doesn't play a single game. He will go in the top five of every single fantasy baseball draft and everyone will be jealous of the guy that got him. People will bid too much for him in auctions and not feel bad about it. You will see his jersey in rap videos and not blink an eye. Ryan Braun is to the Milwaukee Brewers and MLB today what Ken Griffey Jr. was to the Seattle Mariners and MLB in the 90s. He's a pop culture icon in the world of professional baseball. He is Brad Pitt. He is The Rock. He is Jay-Z. He is Han Solo. There will be Milwaukee Brewers fans popping up all across the country because of him. Non-baseball fans will know who he is and love him. "I don't like the Brewers, but I love Ryan Braun." will be said by fans of other teams. Female celebrities will try and fail to attain him. Ryan Braun is the man.
I think when the argument of who should have been the 2011 MVP comes up years from now, we will look back and laugh. How could it not have been Ryan Braun? He was the face of a generation. The king of the 2010's. The one who could do no wrong. He was the man and the world belonged to him.
And he's a Brewer.

Here's the front of the house the year we moved in:
And today:
And from the second story looking out over the back (see the clothes line? I kept the far corner post and put a birdhouse on top, you can see in the "today" shot:
And today:
And I'll end with just some shots of the yard and garden.... The bees reside in the hive behind my new fence. I got this fence for 25 bucks and put it up myself. Someday it will be a pretty garden with a clematis on the fence....I'll try to remember to update at the end of the season.
Here's my favorite pot so far:
My first attempt at water gardening...so far it's fun!
Update for GB!
The "berm" garden...maturing nicely!
Long shot of the back yard:
Back of the house....I think I'm going to put a weeping Japanese maple under the bay window....what else to help disguise the "floating" deck?
I appreciate any ideas/suggestions you have! I'll leave you with a shot of the bee hive. I'm painting mine this afternoon...it's gonna be a nice green so that it will "disappear" into the background. I am painting a daisy on the lid, though :) Hope you enjoyed the tour! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yea! Saucy has pics up! Woohoo! Love the tour Saucy, I'll have to make a point to get over there sometime this month and see for myself in person. You've done so much work on your lovely home. I love the containers. Great combinations. And you'll have to post a photo of the hive after you've painted it? Thanks for taking the time to share with us. Deanne |
Hooray for you, Saucy, to have made so much progress!! Love the combos. Martie |
Saucy, your home is beautiful. You have made incredible progress! The berm garden and containers are so pretty! Jerri |
What a dramatic change the new color made on the house! Everything looks fantastic. I'm always impressed with the big spaces many idyllers have to sculpt. I know I'd be inclined to plant a border around the deck, possibly with your new banana and other big, tender stuff, since I love the feeling of being enveloped by plants, but that might mess up your expansive vistas and sight lines. It's truly lovely, Saucy. And the bees look ready for business! |
What a wonderful spot you have Saucy! And amazing progress on the house and yard. It's all beautiful. I like Denise's idea of tropicals to shield the underpinnings of your deck. My first thought was grasses, lots of miscanthus shifting in the breeze. So no turtle on the bee hive? :-) |
Saucy, how great to see your "place". You've truly made a house into a home! It looks so welcoming with all of your little "touches". The berm garden is just beautiful and your container gardens too! Thanks for sharing your gardens with us. I enjoyed the tour. Eden |
Your home is AMAZING. I love what you've "done with it". The new color is great and so is the deck. Most of all, though, is how much of your delight and amazement with and FOR the natural world shines through in all you've done. I feel better knowing your kids will be "inheriting" the world you and Nick love so much. You make me smile. :) |
Saucy - that's all looking great. I particularly like the house color; it reminds me of 'home' on the east coast where many houses and other buildings were traditionally strong colors. I think it gives them so much more character. About the beehive - most beehives I've seen are white. Do bees see colors? Is there a reason, from the bee's perspective, for white being the traditional color? Or was white traditional so the hive would be easily visible to people (so they could avoid them if so inclined...?) Or just that whitewash was readily available so was cheap and easy to use? |

Wow - lucky bees to be coming to such a beautful home! Thank you for sharing with us. It's always fun to see other Idyll abodes. Mary |
Saucy, it is all so lovely,and well tended. It is wonderful what you have done to house and yard. It make me feel rather sad because mine is deteriorating all around me...:-( Maybe some day I will be surrounded with neatness again...when I am in a well-tended nursinghome !LOL. :-) I love the stripped canna, mine like it was pretty tacky looking when I took it out this spring, then I succeeded in demolishing the rest of it when repotting it. :-( I love the berm. My sister in Idaho has one at her new home that they built. I need one for plants that need well-drained soil. I like the idea of a water garden, too, but guess I had better not add to all that I already have to care for. Nolon reported seing a honeybee in the cat food dish, on the front porch. I caught one that was in the house, and set it free the other day. |

Bravo Saucy ! Beautiful house and what nice space you have around it to work with. I'm on board with a 4 to 6 ft mixed border dug in all the way around the deck, which I would gaze down upon in wonder while I sip my wine. Whip out the rototiller ! Love your containers too, and of course our first photo of your new buzzing kids abode... Thanks for sharing this with us ! Kathy in Napa |
Thanks for such nice sentiments! Deanne, come anytime! Nick and I scoped out a new breaky/lunch spot this morning...and it's a coffee house, too! I need you to take a picture or two for me...I can't seem to do it justice. Denise, I get borrowed views because I border the conservation lands. It does restrict what I can build/do but my last lot was a tenth of an acre. Cynthia, I like the idea of grasses! The kids can't hurt them with their lawn games! I might just put a turtle on my hive thanks to you...would've never thought of it, but it will be reminiscent of my 'tufa turtle which is growing old and missing a limb :) I did not get to paint today as I had unexpected, and totally fun, company! Eden, my photos don't do justice to my containers. Remember the year I did "periwinkle" everything? This year I'm going au naturale from the basement :) Chelone, you're too kind. Jake and Sarah will be good stewards of the Earth...I am confident in that fact :) No less than 4 turtles were "worried" over in the last week... Woody, white is the traditional color, I guess. Bees don't "like" black - think dark colored bear destroying your house for honey! White also keeps the hive cooler in hotter climates. In class they suggested buying whatever color was in the "messed up" bin :) Marian, LOL about the nursing home...you'd be the one out there tending it! You take care of business just like my grandma and you keep a fine house....no talk about nursing homes for you :) I would like to see your hot water plant this year :) I think you had a different name for it.... Kathy, I've never used a rototiller before. A good garden fork usually does the job. The soil here is surprisingly friable compared to TN soil and I'd feel bad cutting my earthworms in half :) One might need more than one afternoon beer after that job! Thank you all so much for your nice comments :) Saucy |
Saucy...you led us on a great tour of your home. It is so peaceful looking in your backyard. A bit of paradise. How lucky you are to have found this place, and with the work you've already accomplished, the land is lucky to have found you too! :) The berm is gorgeous. I can't wait to hear more about your bees as the summer goes on. |
AAAW Saucy! The beautiful berm, great water feature, super updates on the home, lovely containers, lucky bees! That fence you made is GORGEOUS! Show me the clematis once it is in, OK? You sound so pleased these days now that outdoor activity is at last possible! :) |

Ask and you shall receive ;-) Thanks for the pictures of your place. I just love seeing where everyone lives. Your house is great. I thought the before picture was 2 houses. The color really brings it all together. I love your containers and the mini pond and the berm is fabulous. |
Hey this joint looks familiar. I had forgotten what it looked like before. What a transformation! Have you considered building some lattice panels to screen the area under the deck? If done right they add a finished look and would make a nice backdrop for plants. Sue |

Making a big difference renovating, Saucy! I think you have had a lot of great ideas and made some very smart choices. It looks like a different house! Love your berm garden and the Viburnum maresii is one of my favorites. I agree with Kathy...a mixed border all around the deck. Maybe some butterfly plants to attract butterflies up close? A fragrant butterfly bush. Anything fragrant. If you spend a lot of time out there at night, pots of four oclocks smell delicious at night. The only thing I would avoid would be anything that would bring birds too close to the deck, like berry shrubs, feeders... or you will be cleaning up your deck furniture a lot. [g] Thanks for sharing your photos! :-) |
The house and yards look amazing! You've made a nice looking home into a stunning one. Thank you for sharing the photos! |

Saucy,I to thought it was two houses at fist. The new color does wonders for it. Good choice. The deck looks like a great place to hang out and its so nice you are next to conservation land. The gardens are really coming along. You can well be proud of the new fence bed, I really can see a clematis growing there. It's good to be able to picture you in your enviorment and observing your bees. Norma |

Look for any Boston Cream Pie recipe. It's just a yellow cake with a pastry cream filling and a chocolate glaze on the top. Follow the directions for your pan and use the ingredients for the Boston Cream recipe. |

Having met while performing in St Etienne's touring band, Debsy Wykes (from all-girl post-punk popettes Dolly Mixture) and Paul Kelly (ex-East Village) front the elegant chamber pop quartet Birdie. Comprising unreleased tracks, alternate versions and new cover versions, their third album is all poignant melodies with strong, mellotron-driven hooklines and wan female vocals.

Discover Your Word Crushes: What Word Clouds Tell You About Your Writing
One of the best tools for analyzing writing is a concordance—and one of the best concordances out there is Wordle. The picture at the top of this article is, in fact, a Wordle word cloud using all the text from the Writers Don't Cry columns. Beautiful, isn't it? The perfect representation of the language I use in this column, with the bigger words being the ones I use most frequently. And I think it evokes exactly what I want it to! Aside from the overuse of the word "one." And maybe I could cut down on the use of "just," too. And also, while we're at it, do I really use "like" that much? I mean seriously: you'd think I use it, like, every sentence or something!
But, back to the topic, aside from being pretty, world clouds are also super useful for writers interested in analyzing their writing. Particularly for those who want to analyze a novel. By looking at the relative size of character names and words you can learn all kinds of things about both your book and your writing style.
Getting Started: Wordify Your Book
Ready to discover your own language habits? Take your work-in-progress or a recently finished project—or even just your blog--and run it through the Wordle machine. Click randomize and fiddle with the controls until it's in a format you find attractive and readable. Leave this window open for the analysis portion. Later, you can save it to the public gallery, or just use screen capture to save a picture of it, like I did.
How to Analyze Your Word Cloud
Congratulations! You now are the proud owner of a word cloud of your very own. Now, let's start breaking that beautiful beast down to see what we can learn about your writing.
In most cases, your character names should be the biggest words in a novel-based word cloud. In fact, if any words rival them in size, you may want to consider making friends with a thesaurus! But aside from that, the size of the different character names lets you know roughly how much space each character takes up in the book. This makes it a fantastic way to see the airtime each character is receiving. And if any one character is getting too much or too little exposure—well, you know what to do.
After analyzing the character balance, you can right click on the character names (and place names) to remove them from the cloud. The relative size of the remaining words can tell you a lot about the focus and the balance of your book. For instance, it can tell you if your book is more action ("came," "went," "drew"), location ("door," "house," "window"), or people oriented ("hand," "eyes," "head"). In addition, it can also tell you something about how you handle character interaction—like whether you tend to focus on what your characters are thinking ("thought," "know," "head"), seeing ("eyes," "looked," "saw"), or feeling ("felt," "fear," "love"). Or in dialogue, whether your characters are asking a lot of questions ("asked," "answered") or being more commanding ("must," "now," "you").
And of course, I'd be remiss if I failed to note that if any of the large words are generally considered uncommon, you may not want them littering your book. If not, thesauruses are dandy, and so is the backspace key.
Word Clouds Quiz!
To put your word cloud into perspective, I made some word clouds from some popular books throughout the ages—from the 16th century to the modern day. Looking at the word clouds, what can you tell about the stories they're derived from? Can you guess what books these are?
Check back for the answers next Monday! For hints, follow me on Twitter @susanjmorris.
Pssst! Want a hint? Two are Shakespeare, three are recent releases, and the rest are classics.
Bonus Word Cloud
And if all of those were too easy for you, here's one more bonus word cloud as a tie-breaker.

Serves 4
The curry sauce is fire-hot (I was sweating while eating), however the potatoes do not absorb the heat so you can easily control how much chili you get in a bite. To make this dish more mild, adjust the amount of chili powder (or remove this spice completely).
NOTE: This recipe makes a LOT of curry sauce, so you could freeze half of it and save for another dish if you wanted to – unless you think you'll sop it all up.
20 baby red potatoes
For the curry:
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup chopped tomatoes
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp cumin powder
1/8 tsp ground clove
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp red chili powder (Lanka guro) (this is VERY hot, adjust according to your tolerance)
1/2 tsp Garam Masala
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp mustard oil
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
2 bay leaves
1 cinnamon stick
4 cardamom pods
2 cups water
1. Boil potatoes in salted water until almost cooked. Drain. Cover with cold water and peel. Set aside.
2. In a food processor combine onion, chopped tomatoes, ginger, garlic, cumin, clove, sugar, chili powder, garam masala, and salt. My food processor is so small that it made the sauce chunky. I decided I couldn't stand it and used my immersion blender instead. I got a really nice, smooth consistency in just a minute of pureeing.
3. Heat oil in a wok or skillet. Add aromatics (cumin seed, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, and bay leaves). Toast spices for a few minutes being careful not to burn. Add potatoes.
4. Add sauce from step 2 and water. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes – 1 hour, or until the potatoes are done, the sauce is thick, and the flavors mingle. Serve hot.
NOTE: This dish keeps nicely in a warm oven (or, I would imagine, in a crock pot).
Simply fill in your details below.

Rev. Dr. Robert (Bob) Hunter received his Doctor of Ministry from George Fox University near Portland, OR. He teaches online for the College of Theology at Grand Canyon University. He also teaches online classes full time for another university. His favorite subjects include spiritual formation, leadership and mentoring. He has also assisted in the development of course curriculum for another institution on the topic of faith mentoring in the 21st Century.
Dr. Bob resides in Mesa, AZ and when he is not teaching he serves as a volunteer youth leader at Mesa First Church of the Nazarene. His bride of Nineteen years, Cambria, is an Occupational Therapist in the Mesa School District. They have three children; Grant (14), Brianna (13), and Tanner (10).
How has facilitating online courses at GCU helped you find your purpose?
Facilitating courses for GCU creates an opportunity for me to do something I am passionate about: develop Christ-like leaders for the 21st Century.
What is one effective teaching strategy you use in your online classes?
I have discovered that positive online interpersonal communication is absolutely essential to classroom success. Many students feel discouraged and overwhelmed when they try to manage their educational pursuits, careers, and family life. The de-individualization of online communication can also be disheartening. I make a habit of personalizing communications and maintaining a positive and upbeat learning environment.
What is a GCU online student success story you can share?
Recently, one of my students lost a spouse and received a diagnosis of cancer prior to the start of a course. During Module One, the grieving student checked into a hospital to receive chemotherapy treatment. Due to complications, the student remained in the hospital for the duration of the course. Instead of dropping, the student persevered through treatment and completed all the required assignments in a timely manner. We all know that occasionally life happens and students get behind, but not in this case. A bout with cancer proved to be no match for a determined student; and even more impressive, the student received an "A" for the final grade.

I don't think I'm adding the right amount of water. I think I'm making it too dry or too wet. There's got to be another way to tell besides doing a slump test every time. I don't even know if the slump test will work for hypertufa anyway. How do you tell? I read the FAQ but it's not info for me. Squeezing with some water coming out isn't telling me enough. I'm very inexperienced with concrete. So, how do you tell? |

You are not working with concrete so don't worry about it. No slump test needed or squeezing some water out. The ingredients you use, the amount of humidity in the air all effect the amount of water so there no magic measurement. The consistency should be like thick oatmeal or thick cookie dough. After you've made 1 or 2 you'll see the difference. Too wet and it's sliding down the sides. Too dry and it won't hold together. |

My basement, where I'm working, is VERY dry. Could that have something to do with it? Could it be drying too quickly? Do I need to be draping moist towels over it or sealing it in a bag for humidity? |
- Posted by plantman56 z6 PA (My Page) on Sun, Jan 26, 14 at 21:52
Wait until the spring. Do outside when temps are min 50F. Mix will cure best Most important - avoid all the dust when in enclosed area. breathing the dust from the Portland is not good - unless you have a good mask. Add water slowly - a little at a time. Mix it well. Take your time. it should look like hamburger or oatmeal - Then Take the mix and make a ball - squeeze hard - a few drips of water should come out. . One other suggestion- Work the mix inside the mold, press the hypertufa firmly down and against the mold. It will take some of the air out of the mix and hold together better. |
The amount of water changes with every batch; sometimes the peat moss is dryer, sometimes the concrete sucks up more water, maybe the perlite is drier some days than others; sometimes the planets are out of alignment lol. I have found it's easier to work with using hot water. Like plantman said, take a handful of mixture and squeeze it; a little water should come out. Too dry, and it won't compress, too much water and it slides down the sides of the mold. Too much water also makes it weaker. Wetter mixture is easier to work with, but the down side is you lose longevity of your trough. Put your just-completed trough in a plastic bag and seal it up to keep the moisture in. You can either leave it or unmold it in a couple days and reseal or put into a tub or water; your choice, but concrete cures in the presence of moisture, so just draping a towel over the trough may be letting it "dry out" and not "cure". |

Fasolada | |
Alternative names | Fasoulada, fasolia |
Type | Soup |
Place of origin | Greece and Cyprus |
Main ingredients | Dry white beans, olive oil, vegetables |
Cookbook:Fasolada Fasolada |
Fasolada, fasoulada or sometimes fasolia (Greek: φασολάδα, φασουλάδα or φασολια) is a Greek and Cypriot soup of dry white beans, olive oil, and vegetables, sometimes called the "national food of the Greeks".[1]
The Arabic version is called fasoulia and is found in parts of Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Egypt, Yemen and the Levant (Arabic: فاصوليا). In Turkish cuisine, it is Turkish: kuru fasulye.
Fasolada is made by simmering beans with tomatoes and other vegetables such as carrots, onion, parsley, celery, and bay leaf. Lima beans are sometimes used instead of white beans. Recipes vary considerably.
It is often enriched with olive oil either in the kitchen or on the table.
Unlike the Italian fagiolata, the Brazilian and Portuguese feijoada, Romanian fasole and the Spanish fabada, fasolada does not contain meat.

That's how Evie Hudak feels. In an e-mail exchange, she calls Polis's absences "more excessive than other members'. I have expressed some concern to him about it, and it has gotten better since then." Nonetheless, Polis "puts a tremendous amount of energy into his board work.... I'm sure he aspires to future political office (so, probably, do some other boardmembers), but he acts as if he is going nowhere else."
Republicans who wish he was gone entirely tried to use the 2000 census to hasten his departure. Board of Education members correspond to the state's congressional districts, and the Colorado constitution calls for an at-large seat like his to be added when the number of districts are even, to prevent deadlocks. During the '90s, Colorado had six districts, but the most recent census authorized a seventh. As such, former state house speaker Doug Dean reasoned that the term for the education board's at-large seat should end after two years instead of its normal length, six years, because a boardmember from the seventh district would be elected in 2002. Dean wasn't alone in this assumption. "I know Ben Alexander thought it would be a two-year term," DeHoff says. "Ben was assuming he'd serve for two years and then resign when we got a seventh congressional district, and we assumed Jared was feeling that way, too. But Jared said, 'I was elected to a six-year term.'"
Largely because Colorado Attorney General Ken Salazar -- the man whom Polis supports for the U.S. Senate with his dollars and his Navigator's dashboard -- determined that the term shouldn't end early, two separate Republican attempts to legislate the at-large seat out of existence came to naught. Once the position was declared safe until January 2007, the board had to temporarily alter some of its procedures. Chairmen were previously selected for two-year terms, but with an even number of members, it was decided that this period of time be sliced in half, with representatives from each party taking one-year turns as chairman and vice chairman. Hence, in 2003, DeHoff was chairman and Polis was vice chairman, and this year, those roles are reversed.
DeHoff didn't like the compromise, but he signed on to it -- and he acknowledges that the board has seldom been hamstrung by the even-number configuration. "There's rarely a partisan divide, even if there's an ideological or doctrinal divide," he says. "It rarely breaks along party lines."
Hudak isn't so sure. Republicans "are less willing to be cooperative with" Polis, she says. "Sometimes they seem suspicious of his motives. Sometimes they are argumentative, and in general, they seem less forgiving and patient with him than with other members. When he first became chair, they made an effort to cooperate, but at our April meeting, they got upset when he carried on a conversation at length with some people who spoke during public comment, and they made some rude comments. It seemed like the honeymoon was over. However, at our retreat in June, we talked through the concerns they had, and things seem to have settled down."
That makes sense, since Polis isn't in lockstep with traditional Democratic positions on education. In 2003, for instance, he voiced his support for vouchers as long as laws concerning them are initially tailored to assist disadvantaged youth -- a position not far from the one espoused by conservative icon Bob Schaffer. But Polis's convictions didn't prevent Republicans from coming after him again with regard to the New America School. As the institution's founder, Polis was originally on its board of directors, and political opponents as well as frequent supporters like Hudak saw that as a potential conflict of interest, since the charter school would be under the supervision of the State Board of Education. On this issue, Polis acquiesced, resigning from the New America School's board. He dismisses the situation as "pure politics."
Maybe so, but that's the game he has chosen to play, and Orr thinks he's improved at it. "He's grown a lot since he came here," he says, "and he's gotten a lot of valuable experience."
In the beginning, Hudak adds, other boardmembers feared that Polis "lacked knowledge about education issues because of his youth, not being a parent, etc. That has been somewhat true; however, he has made substantial efforts to get to know the education Œlandscape' in the state.... He seems to devote a great deal of time to being a well-informed SBE member; his wealth allows him to do that, in terms of both traveling around the state and having the time to do so."
Even DeHoff admits that Polis isn't phoning in his board duties. "The hiccups he's had in his tenure on the state board have been from not really understanding the role of the board and the role of the individual on it," he says. "But he's learning."
A mid-July day in the life of Jared Polis affords more educational prospects than most people encounter in a month.
The itinerary begins at tony Kent Denver School, where representatives of Summerbridge, a program that helps promising students from disadvantaged backgrounds progress during the summer months and beyond, have readied a presentation for city officials. The most prominent invitee is Denver mayor John Hickenlooper, who arrives with his retinue at close to 9:30 a.m., when things are slated to begin. A hefty press contingent is also on hand, including Rocky Mountain News photog Maria Avila and Denver Post shutterbug Kathryn Scott Osler.

How exactly does Weaver have ML avg stuff? His last season in college he racked up 210 Ks in 144 in. And if you combine his Minor and Major league stats he has 120 Ks in 100 in.
That should easily translate into above average stuff in the ML. I know he doesnt have a 98 mph fastball but there are other ways to get ppl out.

It's very disturbing to see that along with Chicago's dubious distinction of being the murder capital of the United States, city police now will be deploying "up to 30 percent of the available police vehicles" in a police district for each gang funeral.
Not only is this a burden on the taxpaying population, it is a bold reflection of the lack of respect for civilized society that the gang subculture represents. Again, the law-abiding citizens will foot the bill to continue to allow this urban terrorism in our society.
When will this change? And what will we do if it doesn't change? I have lots of questions. Does anyone have any answers?

Grateful for help in dog attack
On Nov. 30, I and my dog Stanley were attacked by a 90-pound mastiff "puppy." The dog knocked me down from behind, bit me several times and then attacked my dog.
This was a terrifying experience, but the response of my neighbors and fellow Woodgate and Creekside citizens, along with the Matteson police, was amazing! One lady stopped and called the police, another lady in an Army uniform pulled alongside me as I lay balled up for my protection in the street and a gentleman got out of his truck with a big stick to chase the dog away. The lady in the van later gave me and my dog a ride home.
I am so grateful to each of these individuals. I wish I knew their names so I could thank each of them. I asked the lady in the van for her name, but I don't remember what she told me (I was probably in shock).
As a 28-year resident of Matteson, I want others to know that people in Matteson care about one another — even when you're a stranger to them.

Forward, over the cliff
The mantra of the Obama presidential campaign was "Forward." We repeatedly heard from Mr. Obama that we need to take the country in a new direction, away from the policies of his predecessor, George W. Bush, whom he blamed continuously during his first presidential term.
Now as we face the so-called "fiscal cliff," Mr. Obama's solution to avoid the "cliff" is more taxes and considerably more spending. Could someone, perhaps Mr. Obama himself, explain how this course of action is moving forward?
It is nothing more than the same path that he has taken this country on for the past four years. More of the same is not what this country needs. The president and the Democratic leaders in the U.S. Senate cannot be serious that raising taxes will solve the problem.
Mr. President and U.S. senators, it is time to face facts. You can no longer spend money that we the people do not have. It is time that you, just as we in the private sector do with our personal finances, make spending cuts!
The practices of the past four years did not work, and they will not work as we move "forward" over the next four years.

September 29, 2009
I have been involved in Scouting for over 14 years and have held several different positions. From 3 different positions at the Pack level to positions in the Troop, District, and Council, but the most memorable was as COurse Director for Community Day Camp.
It was 2000 and we were into our second day of camp wheis little 8 year old boy walked up to me and with a grin from ear to ear said, "Mr. Nault, thank you. This was the best day ever of my entire life." And then he hugged me and ran off.
That memory is why I do what I do and keep on doing it.

Efrain Martinez accepted a plea deal in Mesa City Court on Thursday that basically exonerates him from allegations that he shot a gun at former Mesa council candidate JT Ready during an altercation last month.
Martinez, an undocumented Mexican native, pleaded guilty to giving the false name of Eduardo Godina to police. In exchange, Mesa prosecutors dropped assault and threatening and intimidation charges. Martinez received credit for time served and will be deported to Mexico shortly.
During the proceeding, Ready stood up to protest the plea agreement.
"I think this is a travesty of justice," Ready said. "I'm a victim of this man right here. He carjacked me with a gun, chased me down the street . . . He was caught red-handed."
"This should be an open and closed case," he added. "And here I am with a cheesy misdemeanor charge of giving false statements."
Defense attorney Garrett Smith said it was the first time Ready publicly said he had been carjacked.
Thursday marked the second time prosecutors have offered Martinez a plea deal. Martinez initially declined to plead guilty to the assault and threatening charges in exchange for 20 days in jail with 18 served. Since then, he's served 42 days — more than double what prosecutors recommended, said John Pombier, the Mesa City Prosecutor.
"We look for win-win situations and it's very rare in the criminal justice system that you can find them," Pombier said, noting that it would have been a waste of taxpayer money to proceed with a trial.
"If he had been found not guilty, he still would have served 42 days and he'd be in the same position he's in now."
Pombier has no qualms with the way Mesa police conducted the investigation, although Smith believes that police made several errors in judgment.
When police interrogated Martinez and read him his rights, they did so in English, even though Martinez says he cannot speak it well. They also failed to fully question 10 possible eyewitnesses to the shooting, Smith said.
Marvin Woodworth, a private investigator who helped Martinez for free, and Magdalena Schwartz, of Latino Community Services, showed up in court Thursday to support Martinez.
Mesa resident Jim Edgmon attended the trial to support Ready, whom he dubbed a true "patriot." He said Ready has been unfairly represented in the media.

By far my favourite lip product to date. I have a few velvet matte pencils and they're becoming the only lip products I use because they stay put, dont fade in rings or leave white lines on your lips and they dont leave your lips cracked and dry. Bahama has become my staple colour because it literally goes with every makeup look or outfit i wear and working in a store that sells nars products i can say that its flattering on almost any skin tone.
This is my favourite lip pencil for every day. I love how its a matte dark nude and can sharpen and brighten your whole face.
I'm a huge fan of nars lip pencils to begin with, they are crazy easy to apply, have beautiful pigmentation, and stay were they should! No lipstick in weird places or faded in weird places to give you a crazy lipstick only on the outside of lips look. When this pencil fades from eating or drinking it turns into a beautiful even lip stain, which I love.
Could never leave the house without this pencil!
Perfect nude color for women of color. I am MAC NW45 and this? I can just slap it on and go, needs no fine-tuning or working with. No need to add gloss either. Perfect for work or play. These come in that gorgeous matte formula that manages to pack lots of pigment without being drying at all. I don't know how they do it but these are very comfortable to wear, there is no build-up in the corners of your lips and they last a good amount of time. I love this and will certainly purchase again and again. Beautiful browny-pink for the workplace.
Beautiful! I would decribe this as one of those colours where u want colour, but nothing too bright or too dark. Its just gives you a clean and tidy look. For me its a shade or 2 darker than my natural lip colour. It truly is matte and the staying power is ok, I don't think its drying on the lips, but in saying that my lips tend to get dry when I wear any lipstick! Even though I use a lip balm prior to application. I love that its slim and easy to carry around and SO easy to apply! But like most people - I'm not a fan of the lid!

This is a high priced matte lip color that has good wear time but nothing spectacular. Sonia Kashuk Velvety Matte lip pencil in Nude Mulberry is almost the exact same shade, the NARS pencil is slightly lighter pink. This is a good color for a natural look. The cap on this falls off all the time and that leads to damage to the tip. If you are looking for a matte dark pink pencil save your money and check out Sonia Kashuk's version of chubby matte lip color pencil.

I love the velvet matte pencils and Bahama is one of my go-to colour. It's a lovely muted pinky brown which makes me look polished in a subtle way (I'm a MMM). Agree with other reviewers that the cap could have been designed better. The pencil form makes application more precise and more efficient to store in my makeup bag. Some matte lipsticks are boring and not many provide such a nice comfortable texture that's non-drying, so even though I find it a bit pricey, I do think it's a quality product I don't mind splurging on.
I purchased this because I wanted a pink color I could rock with my NW45 and up skin tone. A lot of pinks I swatched looked too ashy like I was huffing spray paint by the train tracks but this one looks believable on my lips. It is definitely a muted rose pink with a touch of brown. I will definitely have to apply a foundation on my top lip because my lips are two tone and the top lip is darker and tends to darken the look of any lip color I wear. In addition of using a foundation, I will need a lip pencil because even though it is pink, I feel like I am losing the shape of my lips. So I have to find a shade darker lip pencil. Pair this with a clear gloss or Revlon Nude Lustre and it really works for me.
5 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Another great lip pencil color from NARS. This color looks great no matter what I am wearing and looks great on just about everyone. It's a no mess, no fuss color. Reapplication is easy and neat. Does not dry out the lips. Same complaint about the cap, though. Too loose and likes to pop off at the wrong time (lol).

World 38: The World, The Continents, The Player #9
May 28, 2011 in World 038 News, World News
Hello World 38,
Here is your weekly Blog Post titled "World 38: The World, The Continents, The Player.
So With this Please
Read More…
Please Note: The tool that I used to create the table with the Points, Members & Villages which Contain the Loss / Gain is being improved for easier use for all bloggers, so those will not be shown. Just to point out, I havent actually done any work on the new tool, Work has side tracked me and now my whole focus is on a little place I call "HELL", I mean "Work".
Cheesy Is Gone. Yes Pizza Hut (Cheesy) Is No more. Their has been a lot of changes in this world since my last blog post. I for one am Surprised that this world had a bit of a fight left in them to do another shake up, or "revert" back to the way it was when I joined the world.
For One, The Long Standing Domino was the head of the world, until some members decided to "Push" these Domino's and make hem collapse like so: With this little push all the little Domino's Went for a ride, some stuck by to see if the pieces could be rebuilt and put back into place, to make this Great Tribe, Great again. Writers Note: I only Stated that Domino is a Great tribe as they held #1 for so long and have now been able to rebuild and go back up.
As Per all Domino Players, I believe they do not want a repeat of Domino falling, Splitting Apart as the little Domino Pieces ran away hiding from them in their new tribes, all of which were to be eaten back up when Domino was stood back up.
How Could this Effect The World? Only time will tell, a lot of people thought Domino would clean this world out. Some believing they are not able to. But going from a #1 tribe to #5, back to #1 is not an easy task.
As an anonymous player of World 38 has kindly relayed information to me to watch a Certain tribe Called "KarmA"
This Tribe sits up On the rim silently waiting, and possibly planning on doing something evil, or extremely good. Sadly I don't hear anything about them. So they must have a pretty tight-lip member policy not allowing their information to be spewed out freely so they can fly under the radar. But, When & If they decide to attack, as the saying goes "The Quietest one is normally the one that will hurt you more". I cleaned it up for the kid's
War Stats:
Cheesy & BONE][, with the disbanding of Cheesy I believe BONE][ will be the winner, as Cheesy is no longer around. Where has Cheesy Gone? To Be honest, Some players are standing around going "Huh.." whilst others are running to the new world power Domino.
Side 1:
Tribes: REFORM, ASYLUM, Domino
Side 2:
Tribes: NUTS, NATO, BONE][
Timeframe: 15/05/2011 03:31:18 to 28/05/2011 20:41:15
Total conquers against opposite side:
Side 1: 98
Side 2: 187
Difference: 89
Points value of total conquers against opposite side:
Side 1: 877,103
Side 2: 1,716,241
Difference: 839,138
As you can see in the maps below, This week (29/05/2011) Domino is larger. NUTS seems to be getting eaten by NATO.
As you can see in these two maps the different playing fields for the top 10 tribes (I cut it down to top 10 to make it easier to read instead of having several hundred names on the map and you lovely readers going "What the hell is our blogger on?" Currently, its tropical Fruit Drink.. it hits the spot for the moment.
This week I had the lovely privilege of speaking with noche. Please find her interview below, in case you don't know who noche is, she is a lovely lady from NATO, Currently rank #10. So please, read on.
1.) Your name is interesting noche, where did you come up with this?
At one point in time I needed a screen name. Noche is Spanish for night. I was working night shifts and my husband teaches Spanish so that was the inspiration for my online screen name.
2.) Do you remember the first location of your village? and do You still keep hold of it?
Yes I remember my first village and still have the report of its loss. I have villages near it but I do not currently own it. Bekstar as a member of Banned took it from me. Then TC77 took that village. But I am sure that TC77 is taking good care of it and keeping it in an orderly fashion for me.
3.) You are currently Rank #12, Are you eyeing the #1 Spot? Will you be giving olafSchlief a "Watch Your back, I'm coming to over take you, hahaha"? (Editors Note, When doing this interview she was #12)
I am not sure that Rank #1 is my goal. I do want to stay on the world until the end. I suppose it could be interesting to battle Olaf for the number one spot but that is not my intention at this point. There is more to the game than having the most villages. It is more about how you use them. There have been a number of players that have been high on the rankings and are no longer here. PurpleDurple is one that comes to mind.
4.) For this interview a certain person offered you a chocolate bar, whom shall remain nameless for this interview, Do you believe that NATO could over Take NUTS? (Editors Note: I was tired when I wrote this question.. or maybe drunk.. or maybe angry one of the three)
I am not sure I understand this question. Can you reword it? Not sure what a chocolate bar has to do with taking over NUTS unless it was to make chocolate covered nuts. lol
5.) 1,716 Conquers to 148 Losses, Most of the villages that have been nobled off you, you have taken back. Are you the type of woman who wont allow someone to have what you have worked for?
I do like to take care of my possessions. Losing a village does not make me very happy.
6.) Thanks for your time noche, would you like to add anything to your interview?
I would be remiss if I did not mention my great tribe mates. Without a tight knit tribe such as NATO, I would not be here. From our corner of the world in the Northeast we have seen tribes come and go, rename themselves, splinter apart and regroup. The map is a never ending change of colors that rivals Mother Nature in the autumn. Thank you, NATO.
Thank You World 38.

I'm feeling out of sorts and just needed to talk. I lost my
daughter Brenda 20 months ago and I so miss here. I stopped my meds for depression about 2 months ago and I was doing ok, but this week has me missing her and crying over any thing that relates to her. I know I will be ok because I am a strong person, but sometimes I just need a little help or something. I came here last night also, I was feeling lonely and blue. DH goes to bed at 10:00 pm and the house was so quiet I couldn't stand it. I am a night person. I was so happy last week because the weather was changing, I just love spring and warm weather. Now this week its damp,windy, and not nice enough to go out. And I feel down. But it does help a little to come here. I will end post now. Thank you for being here. |

Gloria, I feel sure these ups and downs are very, very normal due to the heartbreaking loss you have experienced. I am sure you have thought carefully about going off the meds for depression. You seem a little lonely, so be sure you are doing things during the day that put you in touch with others like lunch or a movie with a friend, visit with a neighbor, take a class, etc. Take good care of yourself, do things you like to do. Don't worry...spring will come, and you will feel better. It's a time of rebirth, and may your tender spirit be lifted by the beauty of new life. Susan |
