Does anyone know what this is? My son brought it to me last weekend, I had forgotten about it till I saw a green one (dyed) just like it in a bowl of potpourri. The pods are about 2 inches long
Any ideas Thanks, jolana |
Follow-Up Postings:
Maybe.....Tx Mountain Laurel!?! |
yep. that's what I think too. |
No, TX Mtn. Laurel's pods are different and the seeds are bright red and more round. These are brown and almost flat Thanks tho jolana |
Here is a link that might be useful: Mtn. Laurel seeds
I thought it might be persimmon since the seeds are brown and flat, but not sure about the pod since persimmons are round fruit. Maybe they dry like that? Not sure. I did take a look at some under google images, but it didn't show a dried seed pod, just the seeds. |
I don't know what those are but I do know that Persimmon seeds are not in a pod. |
JOLANA, where did your "seed snatcher" get it? Was it on a plant at the time? Maybe a description of the plant would shed some light on it. |
Oops, I thought I said, lol He just said it was a shrub about 3 or 4 ft tall |
Well, I suppose you will just have to grow one, and then maybe someone can identify it ---LOL. Certainly an interesting pod!! |

Jolana, you raised that boy right!! Now one question, when he went to town did he bring the family cow with him and return with the seeds? |

LOL Carolann!!! Maybe they would know on the seedsaver forum? |

I have a similar pod. I picked it off a bush last Christmas that was planted in front of the Westin on La Cantera in SA. I just sent them an email asking what those bushes are. I thought they might be MtL seeds from the picture, because I've seen the picture of the seeds and pod somewhere else recently. Perhaps your seeds are old and dried out? I can't find my pod right now, but its in this house somewhere! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Westin La Cantera
It's not Mtn Laurel and it was just picked a couple of weeks ago. If y'all have any potpourri, chances are you have one like it. The same kind of pod is in all of mine, lol Susan I will post it over there Thanks to all of you |
Now that's a new one! A "Seed Snatcher" e-mailing the snatchee, to discover what they snatched! Ha! Ha! Jim |
Hahaha, nervy...yeah, but how is she supposed to find out what she snatched, lol I posted mine on the seed saving forum but nothing, it doesn't seem very active around there according to the dates. |
If they're planted in front of The Westin, I'm sure they're pretty cool plants. :) I didn't tell 'em I snatched seeds.. I just asked what those plants out front with the peanut looking seed pods are. Haven't heard back yet. I went all through their web site trying to see if they had a shot of the front entry way with those bushes but there isn't one. (at least that I can find) Maybe some nice San Antonio person can go take a picture for us? hmmmm Might be easier for your son to show you the plant. :) |
No luck, DS said the plant was in a pile by the curb in front of a older home close to downtown Austin. It's been abandoned and they are ready to demolish to buid new ones. |
OK then. Its up to the folks in San Antonio to got get a picture of the bushes. The are planted along the side walk between the parking lot and the front of the building. |
Barbara /honeybunny is closer to there. It is a 45 min drive for me. |
No clue what it is but Jolana you've raised that kid right!!! lol!PJ |
Oooooo . . . maybe you should rescue that plant from also being demolished. There might be other things worth saving there, so maybe your son should show you where he got it and you can bring your shovel and some containers. |
Denise, that was the first thing I asked him but they were all dead, he said he scratched all of them. that''s when he found the pod on the underside, lol |

The pod looks a lot like the pods on iris plants and they are used in lots of dried arrangements. The pods don't look dry, when they are they are usually dark brown and start to open at the top. You may have been told the pods where off a shrub, but it looks like iris pods and seeds. |
Yes littleone, some how those triangular seed pods looked familiar! Here is what I found on google. |
Here is a link that might be useful: triangular seed pods: Iris pseudacorus L.
I have some iris seeds and looked and they are different and the pods are actually 6 side. I'm just going to go ahead and plant and see what happens. I really do believe that DS, knows the difference between an Iris and a shrub, lol Thanks for all of you help |
Ask him if there were any leaves on the plant. If so, could he describe them. I tried a plant key on line, but with only the seed pod, and the fact that it's in North America, I couldn't narrow it down enough. Would he know the difference between a compound leaf and a single leaf? Could he compare it to a leaf like a rose or a pecan or mesquite has compared to that of an oak or mesquite or whatnot? It actually reminds me sort of a yucca seed. Is the seed pod fragrant? Sally |
No, not fragrant, of course, I'm so stopped up, I can barely smell rosemary while pruning it, lol Thanks Sally I will ask him |
I know I pulled my similar seed pod off a bush, not an Iris. I'll look around for it today and try to post a picture of mine so we can see if they are the same or not. |
I was just wondering about fragrance since you said it's in potpourri. Maybe it's just for decoration. I'm not a potpourri kind of gal, so I'm totally ignorant on what goes into those. Sally |
Sally, those have been dyed and scented I just get them for my MIL, when she visits, she likes the clean floral scents, lol Thanks Melvalena jolana |
Now you all have me very interested in finding out what that thing is too. I'm just sitting here by my keyboard and screen waiting for the final answer . . . |

I came across this post in the "name that plant" forum and followed your link! :) just a stab in the dark-- to me, it looks vaguely like a cobaea scandens seed pod... and the seeds also look somewhat like cobaea seeds, but the pics are blurry so it is hard to tell. The pod is a bit more angular around the main veins than I recall the cobaea being, but when it dries I think it does become angular as well... Being native to Mexico, cobaea should be right at home growing in TX without much care, though I have never seen a pod in potpourri... Anyway, just a guess... :) |

This work reports the spectral information of some interstellar complex molecules which could be treated as the precursor molecules for the formation of some bio-molecules in the interstellar medium (ISM). We carry out quantum chemical simulation to consider the Core correlation and vibrational corrections to the rotational constants and centrifugal distortion constants which are computed from harmonic and anharmonic force fields obtained at MP2/6-311G(d,p) level of theory. These precursor molecules could be produced in the gas phase as well as in the ice phase. This prompted use to couple the hydrodynamics of the collapsing phase of the protostar with our reasonably large chemical network including the gas phase as well as the grain phase chemical network, to study the chemical evolution of these species during the collapsing phase of a proto-star. We have noticed the Significant differences between spectroscopy of these species in the gas as well as in ice (water ice) phase due to the solute-solvent elctrostatic interactions. Time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) is used to study the UV-VIS spectrum of these complexmolecules which are biologically important. Interstellar grain mantle around the dense cloud (> 104 cm−3) mainly composed by 60-70% Water, 5-30% Methanol and 2-20% CO2. So in reality, the ice could be mixed instead of simple water ice. To have an idea about the real spectra, we carry out our simulations for the mixed ice also by considering the actual composition of the above species in interstellar grain mantle. Spectral signatures are found to be significantly shifted with change of the solvent which confirms that the polarization of the solute by the continum has important effects on the absolute and relative solvation energies. Our simulated spectrum are in good agreement with some of the recent experimental result. We expect that our quantum chemical approach along with the hydro-chemical study might be useful for the observer to predict the abundances of some bio-molecules based on the chemical abundances of their precursor molecules.

Graphic Card Problems - DV6 60x0 series.
Hi Guys,
Comp is dv6 6020ej
(6770M, Intel HM65, Intel® Core i5-2410M, Windows 7 Home Premium 64BIT.)
Yesterday I use HP Recovary - the Full one.
Like a month ago I was upgrade the BIOS to F.1A and I think its massed the graphic card or something.
Problems after BIOS Update - Pavilion DV6-6020ej
Now I have the same problem, But now - THE Games getting UGLY, and not Accurate as it has to be.
I See some dots that circle the player (like i use no grapic card) while playing.
Its ugly, like its Uncut circle, Distorted picture, Not aesthetic as it was and so.
SO - I think that the Graphic card driver - And download the last one from the HP site, and the one before - AND STILL The same.
I Need help, I Don't know what to do!
Thanks guys.

On September 12, 2002, housing activists and squatters opened the vacant 99 year old Woodward's department store building for free housing. The courts issued an injunction on September 16 followed the next day with an enforcement order. Arrests followed and the protest continued outside.
The building was a symbol of homelessness and affordable housing in the Downtown Eastside, a vibrant but poor and troubled neighbourhood. After the department store went bankrupt in 1993, social housing activists campaigned to have some of the building converted to more than 400 units of affordable housing.
At the height of the protest, nearly 300 people were on the street, but after 90 days the numbers dwindled. In the middle of December, some 50 homeless protestors were moved into a hotel nearby. This was aided by funding from all levels of government. who are also being pressured to build social housng on the site.
Hopefully community activists will be successful in creating a "... home to a diverse grouping of Vancouver arts and community service organizations offering developmental programs in writing, radio and television production, painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, video and cross-media."

Cespedes will go to Japan and will play CF. Crisp will be in left. #Athletics
— Susan Slusser (@susanslusser) March 19, 2012
Lest that headline deceive you, Yoenis Cespedes is not going to Japan to play Japanese professional baseball, the expensive Cuban ex-pat is going to Japan to partake in the season-opening series between the Seattle Mariners and Cespedes' Oakland A's.
Something of a shock move considering Cespedes' dearth of experience outside the Cuban League. Many assumed at least a brief AAA stay but it looks like, for one series at least, the A's are really going for it with Cespedes.
The move sends Coco Crisp to left field and Josh Reddick taking over in right. This arrangement might make the A's a formidable defensive force but the offense does not inspire great confidence. ZiPS projects an unsightly .238/.289/.391 line for Reddick while Crisp looks to replicate his decent numbers for a center fielder, usually getting on base and stealing enough bases while playing solid defense all the while.
With Cespedes taking over in center (to start the season), it brings Crisp's value into question. Unless this is all an elaborate ruse to ensure these two games between AL West also-rans some sizzle. With only 19 spring plate appearances to his credit, it is tough to tell how well Cespedes is adjusting to Major League pitching.
The A's clearly like what they see and, by adding Yoenis Cespedes to their Opening Day roster, are determined to figure out what he can do against stiff competition. 8000 kilometers from home. At 6am. Whatever. Good luck, Yoenis!

See my Clippings See my Journal See my trade list Send me an email
My husband and I live in the northern part of the Catskill Mtn. We built an off grid home (solar powered) and have been fortunate to have a variety of gardens. Part of our property borders a year round stream which is next to a pine grove, then opens into a field and moves uphill to woodlands. We are surrounded by woods and it is quite a beautiful place year round. We put up a 50' hoop greenhouse that we can "four season harvest" out of. It is also the only "dirt" we see for 4 months out of the winter which keeps the cats and us "somewhat" sane! Not to mention do our winter sowing in.
My thanks to all the wonderful folks I have traded with over the years. You're a great group of people!

The return of The Italian has been as much of a surprise to me as I'm sure it is for my long-time readers.
Here's a quick re-cap for those of you who need it… The Italian and I met on Plenty of Fish about 3.5 years ago. We "dated" (we hung out which turned into making out, and sex once) a handful of times over the course of about a year. He had been in Canada for a year at that point (no I don't have a thing for immigrants, this is a coincidence, and YES- he is a permanent resident now so no Visa issues) and he was very much the stereotypical charm-your-pants-off Italian that I'm sure you can imagine. He was constantly dishing out cheesy, over-the-top compliments and then retracting them with his harsh arrogance. To be honest, I thought he was a jerk who was just trying to get into my pants. He could come across as cocky and criticizing, but there was some good stuff there too (there must have been, or I wouldn't have kept seeing him). Mostly though, I thought he was gorgeous and I couldn't bring myself to perma-dump someone so sexy. And so, we strung it out off and on for a year before we both lost interest and drifted apart.
As you know, when I concluded that Y's ignoring me had gone too far and I declared myself single again, I created a new POF account with the sole purpose of finding someone to flirt with and use to keep my mind off of Y. Well, I found it, but it was nothing like I'd expected. I was at my girlfriends place when my phone chirped with a notification I'd received a new email on POF. I clicked in to quickly read it while we were socializing and as soon as I saw his photo I burst out laughing. I explained our history to my girlfriend and told her that I was surprised he even remembered my name. I replied and we bantered back and forth for a bit before he asked for my number so we could text. I gave it to him. Why not?
Better the devil you know than the devil you don't, right?
In a matter of a couple days, The Italian and I had made plans to hook up. Yes- that kind of hooking up. What can I say? I was post-breakup heartbroken and I was horny. For the sake of keeping this post reasonable in length, I'll skip the dirty details.
I didn't really anticipate a second meeting, but during our first he actually seemed like a decent person, so I caved and accepted an invitation to his house a week later. After he insisted that I spend the night, we fooled around again and then went to sleep. The next day we decided to get together at his house once again, but when I got there he greeted me sweetly and made conversation while he tidied up his kitchen… then he told me to follow him upstairs, where he proceeded to snuggle me for the second straight night in a row. We didn't have sex. The next morning when he left for work, he kissed me sweetly, brushed the hair out of my eyes, and told me to go back to sleep. A week after that, we got together for dinner before I left for vacation, but he was sick and so I sent him home to bed with some NyQuil and very strict instructions to get his rest. In a few days, we have plans to get together again.
Meanwhile, I'm noticing that his mannerisms are different than they were before. He's treating me with respect, kindness, and *gasp*… affection! He's not perfect, he's still pretty cocky (admittedly), but he's sending me sweet text messages, he's asking me about my day, his compliments are genuine this time, he shows up when we make plans and he doesn't blow me off. He asks for my advice, he tells me that he likes me and his actions back it up, and he offers to do nice things for me. He even offered to take care of my car while I was away on vacation, so that he could clean it for me. I declined of course, and instead we made plans for him to pick me up at the airport post-vacation, and when he was sent out of town to work for the weekend he said that he would drive two hours to the airport to pick me up, take me home, and then drive two hours back to work, all so that he could see me for the hour drive to take me home… because, get this, "he adores me".
Saying that this came as a surprise is an understatement. I keep wondering to myself, "who is this man and what happened to the douchebag I used to date?". In a fit of laughter yesterday, I told the friend I was visiting that I've had boyfriends turn into booty call's but never booty call's turn into boyfriends, and that is what he's acting like!
All I can do is laugh and keep taking it in stride, remaining open to possibility but not so naive as to expect it. I don't want a rebound boyfriend, but it sure is nice to have a crush.

ViPNet Safe Disk is an easy-to-use, reliable, user-friendly and smart program that lets you create encrypted disk partitions (drive letters) to keep your private and confidential data secure.
It keeps your confidential data in a strongly encrypted form on your disk and provides you with transparent access to it from any application program.
The encrypted partition resides in a single file which is easy to backup to any media like a recordable CD or DVD to protect it from data loss. ViPNet Safe Disk creates one or more virtual disks on your hard drive and/or other external storage devices.
Once a user creates a virtual encrypted disk, that disk is assigned a new drive letter and appears to the user like any other system drive (like the A: or C: drive).
In the working process the system is creating files so-called "containers", whose size is specified by user; the files are displayed as logic disks. When the disk is mounted, the data is automatically encrypted and decrypted when the user writes or reads this data respectively.
When the disk is unmounted, either manually or by logging out of Windows, the secure data it contains becomes completely unreadable and undetectable by the operating system. Best of all, since Safe Disk appears to Windows as another drive letter, it is instantly compatible with almost any standard business application, word processor, spreadsheet or database program.
All information that the user stores on the disks is kept encrypted. When read, the information automatically is being decrypted, when saved-encrypted. This process is completely transparent for a PC user.
ViPNet Safe Disk Features:
ViPNet Safe Disk Free Edition may be easily extended to full functional version by simply purchasing the license and registering the copy of ViPNet Safe Disk.

TUCSON - The first 90° day of 2014 expected this afternoon.
High pressure building over the West Coast will drive daytime highs about 10° above average this afternoon topping out near 90°. The last time we've seen temperatures this warm was in October of 2013 but our average first 90° of the year does hit around April 9 so this warmth isn't too out of the ordinary.
Temperatures peak at 94° by Wednesday afternoon and we'll see temperatures near 90° under mostly sunny skies through Friday. Slightly cooler temps expected by this weekend as a weak disturbance moves through the region.
Look to the eastern sky around sunset this evening to see Mars at opposition. The planet will be directly opposite the sun in Earth's sky with the three objects coming into alignment. Mars will not look this big and bright again until it's next opposition in 2016.

So, I planted out our radishes and may have come across a straggler? I thought at first it was just a weed. But now I'm thinking that it was in our pack of radish seeds. Don't want to pull it if it's something neat. Don't want to keep it if it's poison ivy. ;-) Any ideas as to what it might be? G and J |

Or sumac root.... Any sumac nearby? |

Kato, Sumac has big fuzzy buds. If the OP tears a leaf and smells it, the smell will ID the plant. I put my nose right up to the screen but can't smell it from here. |
Kato_b, I actually thought the same thing when I first saw the plant. But, my picture should show that dzitmoidonc is right on the money! Funny thing is, it was growing in a 30 gallon tub. I'm guess that squirrels were helping me in my planting. It certainly didn't fall in the tub. Lol G and J |

I have a HUGE amount of peonies that I dug up today (got them from a "get them today or they die" location). When I got back to my holding bed, it has rained so much that it's just hard mud - horrible for transplanting! I have nowhere else to temporarily put these peonies until tomorrow afternoon. They are currently in boxes and bags bare-root. Will they make it until tomorrow or am I going to kill them? Any quick thoughts would be much appreciated. BTW, it is sprinkling outside. |

They should be just fine until tomorrow. You wouldn't want to leave them sitting out in the sun, but since it's sprinkling, guess that's not a problem :) I'd hate to tell ya the horror stories I've seen peony roots subjected to. They're a lot tougher than most people give them credit for. |
I agree they should be fine. I've brought peony divisions up from Pennsylavia to Massachusetts, having to wait almost a week in a plastic bag (in the shade) before I could plant...no problems! So relax. |
Thanks for putting my mind at ease! I actually also go the flu yesterday...ick...and so that was one less thing on my plate to stress out over. :) |

So, I just purchased a portable ac unit yesterday to cool off my small one bedroom apartment. Since starting to use it I have noticed that every time it cycles on or off, the lights and cable in my apartment flicker off and then back on. It doesn't cause too much of a problem, except for being somewhat annoying. Does anyone have a possible fix for this? |
Follow-Up Postings:
an AC has a large surge current and cause a sag on the line. Run a 12AWG extension cord to an outlet on a circuit that isn't shared by lighting. Try kitchen or bathroom outlets. |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

resolve standoff
English.news.cnA A 2011-06-27 04:49:28
SANAA, June 26 (Xinhua) -- The commander of Yemen's Republican Guards
Ahmed Ali Saleh, the eldest son of wounded Yemeni President Ali Abdullah
Saleh who is receiving treatment in Riyadh, said on Sunday that his forces
are committed to orders of the country's vice president and support
efforts to resolve political impasse in the country.
The 42-year-old Brigadier-General Ahmed Ali, who is also the commander of
the Special Forces, made his remarks in a statement published by the
country's Defense Ministry, in response to the increasing calls by
opposition-backed protesters demanding him to leave Yemen.
His father, embattled President Saleh, has not appeared in public since he
was airlifted to the capital of Saudi Arabia on June 4 for treatment from
wounds he sustained in a bombardment against his Sanaa's presidential
"The army forces of the Republican Guards and Special Forces are loyal to
the country and unity, and are committed to implementing the orders of
Vice President Abdu-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, " Saleh's son said in the
"As the military commander of the Republican Guards and Special Forces, I
reaffirmed to fulfill my duties and responsibilities to defend the country
and preserve its democracy, security, stability and unity under the
leadership of Vice President Hadi," Ahmed Ali said.
Yemen has been gripped by five-month-long unrest calling for the end of
the 33-year rule of the President Saleh, whose aides said Sunday that he
would deliver a speech to the nation in 48 hours and would come back to
Sanaa within next few days.
Ahmed Ali also pledged that the Republican Guards and Special Forces will
keep defending the country against "subversive acts" that harm the
security and integrity of the Yemeni people and government institutions,
as well as combating the terrorists in the southern province of Abyan and
its nearby provinces.
Saleh's sons and some relatives serve high-ranking positions in the
military and security institutions, including anti-terror security agency
and intelligence bodies.

The sole CT review of the Double Lariat is kinda scary... Would like some rat input before I contemplate that yellow button.
Anyone from the April 9th offer able to give us a rat report?
Wine Enthusiast Review for the 2011 Double Lariat, 89 points: A very nice wine, showcasing the Napa style of lush, plush opulence. It's softly tannic, with ripe blackberry, raspberry, mocha and cedar flavors. Not an ager—drink by 2015. — (12/31/2013) — 89 S. H.

Pretty sure one of these was on the tasting table at the tour M&G as well, so with luck you had some, perhaps without realizing it. Yes, just found my bottle shot; the white label '11 Napa Cab was there. In my running around I remember only having a taste and thinking it was one of the better bottles there. No, not much help, but there were 34 others that also had the opportunity, and some take good notes, if they don't lose them.
Got some of the reata's (same winery) on a major closeout about a month ago or two ago. It's a really nice wine, I'm sure these are excellent as well.
the discussion thread from April was...to say the least...lack-luster... Can someone who bought back then chime in on this? At least now it's $5 less... o_0
Sorry this is so late; got back from the tour, etc., late last night, still jet-lagged. Not so much that I can't remember the Double Lariat, though. We tasted it last Sunday (8/3) at the tour Meet and Greet. I thought it was a standout, dark fruit, plums, blackberries, soft tannins, especially for a 2011. Maybe not a "screaming deal," but a very nice wine at a decent price.

Guess my 'one of the better bottles' was excessively understated.

In his ruling on Rollins's claims, Judge Richard Matsch wrote that he'd found parts of Rollins's story to be "not credible," but there were serious problems with the guards' accounts, too. In fact, a lot of what the officers had to say about how Rollins got his clock cleaned simply couldn't be believed, Matsch decided, and the BOP's own investigations into the incident were "lethargic and poorly documented." Matsch ended up awarding Rollins $5,000 for his trouble, plus attorneys' fees.
Matsch dismissed Rollins's claims against regional and national BOP officials, ruling that they had no involvement in the matter. In fact, the only person on the administrative side of USP Florence to face criminal charges over the troubles there is Christine Auchenbach, the former public information officer who used to field reporters' questions about the Cowboys investigation. A few weeks ago, Auchenbach was sentenced to five years of probation for another kind of abuse of power: having sex with two inmates.
Understandably, the absence of any commanders' names from the Cowboy indictment was a sore point among the defendants. "Why isn't Hines at the front of the table?" asked Pruyne's attorney, Daniel Smith. "Why does this conspiracy stop where the brass starts?"
It was a damn good question. The Cowboys got indicted. Their supervisors got promoted. Every corrections officer knows that the bodies on the front line are the ones who get blamed for everything, regardless of how it goes down. Still, these seven men, men who wielded such extraordinary power over the lives of other human beings, never expected to find themselves quite so alone, so vulnerable, like...like prisoners.
Perhaps their crime was thinking they were above the law, but they weren't the only people in the Florence pen who thought that way. Their folly was believing that the people who truly had the power, the ones who'd told them to take care of business, would still be standing by them when the business failed.

July 14, 2011: Our community lost a well-loved friend and forum host on July 7th when Annelies (Pets'R'us) passed away. We are all deeply saddened to lose such a fun-loving member of our community. She will be remembered for her great recipes, her wit, her pride in her Dutch culture and her overall contributions to fun and silliness in the forums.

Hello, my name is Bonnie and I am a very beautiful cat as you can see if you look at the picture at the top of this page.... What??.. I am supposed to talk about you??? But it says here: About Me!! Well all right then ......
My mom is Dutch and has moved to England in October 2007, after living 15 years in the Netherlands with my English dad. They don?t have any human children and ?created? their own family, which means I have to share them with Hannah, she is a 6 years old tortie cat, Abby the dog, she is a 9 year old Beagle, and a one year old black Miniature Pincher named Poppy, I refuse to tell you my age but I am a georgious lilac British Shorthair cat!!
It is obvious she adores pets just by looking at her name she uses on Zaar (many on Zaar call her Pets or Petsie Poo), her name in real life is Annelies and that is a common Dutch name.
My mom always liked to cook, but since she joined Zaar it got out of control, and it doesn?t help that she is disorganized. Printed recipes everywhere in the house, the recipe binders have got bigger and just between you and me, her hips too!!!
I have lived in Holland all of my life until now, but they lived in several different countries/places:- desert and coastal Oman, up North and West in Holland, Vancouver-Canada, Aberdeen- Scotland and in Norway they lived in Bergen and Oslo. We have all moved together to England, as you can see I?ve already learnt the language!
I heard her say to Dad that this is the last time she moved to another country...she's had it with moving from one place to another! ( its her age...she's getting grumpy)
Mom is 55 years old but I always hear her say that the date of her birthday does not mean that much to her, the date of her cancer anniversary is more important, because so far she is a survivor.
Besides cooking she has other interests too, crafts, gardening and soap making.
She likes Zaar and is one of the hosts on the German-Benelux Forum here on RecipeZaar.
She would like to thank everybody who tries and comments on the recipes she has posted on Recipezaar, your feedback is very much appreciated.
She likes most cuisines and will try almost everything she has not had before, except for any offal. Cheese is one of her favorites together with chicken, pasta dishes and spicy foods. She does not care much for desserts or sweets but makes and cooks them for dad.
Her most memorable restaurant experience is VIJ's, in Vancouver-Canada.
No dishes that she is famous for (and she never will)...she just likes cooking!

A Terrorist by Any Other Name
April 22, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Jon Pahl
(April 16, 2010) – When is a terrorist not considered a terrorist? When the US media identifies him or her as a "Christian". And when is a terrorist group not considered a terrorist group? When the US media calls it an "anti-government militia".
Exceptionalism is alive and well when it comes to reporting on violence in the name of religion, as evidenced in the recent case of the Michigan-based Hutaree, a group that the media has labeled a militia following recent FBI raids that uncovered stockpiles of illegal weapons, and a plot to kill law enforcement officers and "levy war" against the United States.
The leader of the group, 45-year-old David Brian Stone, pulled no punches about who he was, coining the term "Hutaree" which his website translates as "Christian warrior" for his group. His motto is the biblical passage John 15:13: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
The behavior of this group seems very similar to that of those termed terrorists by the media.
Yet Joshua Rhett Miller of Fox News described the Hutaree in a 29 March story as a "purportedly Christian-based militia group." In a similar vein, Nick Bunkley and Charlie Savage of The New York Times identified Stone and the Hutaree somewhat apologetically as "apocalyptic Christian militants" in their 29 March report. This, despite the fact that the group not only stockpiled weapons and engaged in training identical to Al Qaeda's modus operandi, but even planned improvised explosive devices based on those used by terrorists in Iraq.
In its "Times Topics" section, The New York Times positively contorts itself to avoid using the word "terrorist". It describes the Hutaree as a "Michigan-based Christian militia group" and, mirroring the language of US Attorney General Eric Holder, as "anti-government extremists."
Are we reserving the term "terrorist" only for Muslims these days? In coverage of stories like the thwarted plan to bomb synagogues in New York in May 2009 or Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's attempt to blow up a plane over Detroit, the mainstream media has no qualms about discussing "foiled terror plots." Such a reservation stokes indiscriminate fear of Muslim "others". It also constructs an implicit "us versus them" dualism between a broadly "Christian America" and an allegedly monolithic "Muslim world", as American political scientist Samuel Huntington most notoriously opined in his "Clash of Civilisations" theory.
Religion is all too often seen as the root of terrorist violence, rather than as one of its most effective tools. As Scott Shane argued in the 4 April New York Times article "Dropping the word bomb", we need a robust debate about what terms to use across cases. Journalists can help by practicing consistency, and by pointing out attempts to scapegoat one group and exempt another from the opprobrium associated with terms like "terrorist."
Mainstream Christians like me cringe when a group like the Hutaree is identified as "Christian". Perhaps this incident can help other Americans empathise with what close to 1.5 billion Muslims might have felt every time in the last few years they have heard the words "Muslim terrorists" or, far worse, "Islamic terrorists".
A good rule to follow, for journalists and for all of us, might be to treat others as we would like to be treated ourselves.
And that means calling a terrorist – of whatever background – exactly that.

Christmas Day Crotch Bomber Tied To Israel, FBI
February 11, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Jeff Gates, Salem-News.com
(TEMPE, Az.) – The Christmas Day "terrorist" is the latest in a series of staged incidents meant to make The Clash of Civilizations appear plausible and "the war on terrorism" rational.
The storyline does not hold together. Not even a little bit. As usual, the source of this media-fueled fear campaign traces directly to Tel Aviv-with a supporting role by the FBI.
How did a young Nigerian Muslim without a passport "slip through" security at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport? Not only did his itinerary feature an illogical travel route, he paid cash for a high-priced last-minute ticket and boarded without checked baggage. How?
ICTS International, the security screening company at Schiphol, was founded by former members of Shin Bet, Israel's civil security agency, and Israeli executives in charge of El Al security. ICTS had already proven its expertise in mounting this type of operation.
In December 2001, Richard "The Shoe Bomber" Reid "slipped through" ICTS security at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris. Huntleigh USA, an ICTS subsidiary, shared responsibility for security at Logan International Airport in Boston where hijackers for two of the four 911 jets "slipped through" airport security. It gets better.
The Crotch Bomber told U.S. authorities that radical Yemeni cleric Anwar al-Awlaki counseled him on the incident. Born and raised in New Mexico, Al-Awlaki moved to Yemen in 2004 after advising the two 911 hijackers who trained in San Diego. He also advised U.S. Army Major Nidal Hasan who is charged with shooting 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas in 2009.
It's not yet clear whether FBI agents were monitoring the Nigerian while he too was advised by Al-Awlaki. If not, that would be an anomaly in a repetitive pattern of FBI complicity.
FBI agents not only monitored Major Hasan and Al-Awlaki before the Fort Hood shootings, they also monitored the San Diego hijackers while they were advised by Al-Awlaki. It gets better.
Though the Nigerian was foiled while trying to ignite 80 grams of PETN, an explosive sewn into his underwear, that amount was barely enough to dislodge the arm on his seat – of course that assumes it could have been ignited.
Without a blasting cap, this "terrorist incident" was doomed to failure even before he "slipped through" security. Could this get even better? Oh yeah.
We were told about his father alerting the C.I.A. station chief in Lagos. However we were not informed that his father, a banker, oversaw a Nigerian defense firm that hired Israeli Defense Forces personnel to train Nigerians – in security.
Nor were we told that, for decades, Nigeria has been a central hub for Israelis laundering the proceeds of their transnational organized crime. That's not all.
The Iraq War Connection
Four days after 911, San Diego special agent Steven Butler came to the San Diego home of Iraqi-American Munther Ghazal, the Iraqi closest to Saddam Hussein then living in the U.S.
That's the same day Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz proposed in a principal's meeting at Camp David that the U.S. should invade Iraq. Iraq?!
Agent Butler paid rent and cashed checks for the two San Diego hijackers while they were being advised by Al-Awlaki. What did Butler want to know? Was Ghazal funding Mel Rockefeller with whom he had traveled to Iraq in 1997.
While in Baghdad, they confirmed that Saddam Hussein had mothballed Iraq's WMD program after the 1991 Gulf War – and was prepared to negotiate his departure without this war. That was four years before 911. The FBI has yet to interview Mel Rockefeller.
Meanwhile, the usual suspects are once again profiting off the misery of both sides in a "Clash" that they played a key role in creating. It was Jewish Zionist Bernard Lewis who first coined the term, The Clash of Civilizations.
Only later was Harvard professor Samuel Huntington branded with that premise when his book by that name was published in 1996, five years before 911.
Israeli-American Michael Chertoff, former Secretary of Homeland Security (aka the rabbi's son), now promotes firms that manufacturer highly intrusive body scanners that are terrific for spotting crotch bombers unless, of course, an Israeli firm is in charge of security.
News reports suggest that the stock of body-scanning firms soared $3 billion in value after this latest "terrorist" incident. Imagine the glee among clients of the Chertoff Group.
Meanwhile the U.S. has been transformed from the wealthiest nation to the world's largest debtor. Nobel economist Joe Stiglitz projects a $3 trillion tab for a war based on fixed, flawed and outright fabricated intelligence – every cent of it borrowed, including $700 billion in interest.
Tel Aviv: The Common Source of Terror
That's not all. Controlling shares in ICTS are held by Menachem Atzmon, board chairman since 2004. While treasurer of Israel's long-dominant Likud Party, Atzmon was convicted of campaign finance fraud. His co-treasurer, Ehud Olmert, resigned as Prime Minister in 2008 after being acquitted of fraud amid multiple corruption charges.
Did I forget to mention that ICTS was also handling security for London's bus system when the U.K. was targeted for its terrorist attack? Did I neglect to note that six months prior to the Shoe Bomber's flight on American Airlines, Richard Reid was stopped at Schiphol while boarding an El Al flight to Tel Aviv? Shin Bet allowed him to board so he could be monitored in Israel.
Did the Israelis inform their loyal ally about Richard Reid? What do you think?
Remember the October 1983 truck bombing of the Marine Barracks in Beirut that left 241 Americans dead? A former Mossad case officer conceded they had a description of the truck. Did our ally tell us? What do you think?
Our withdrawal from Lebanon left the field open to those who specialize in displacing facts with what targeted populations (including our own) can be deceived to believe.
Recall our belief in Iraqi WMD? Iraqi ties to Al Qaeda? Iraqi mobile biological weapons laboratories? Iraqi yellowcake uranium from Niger? Iraqi meetings in Prague? All were false. All were traceable to Tel Aviv. Are you still having trouble connecting the dots?
As the U.S. sinks into bankruptcy, we are ridiculed abroad for failing to acknowledge the obvious: Americans have long been the target of a fraud operated by Israelis, pro-Israelis and those supportive of their goals for the region.
What better way to wage war on the U.S. than from within? How else can Israel expand except by duping its super power ally to wage wars for Greater Israel? Never mind the cost in blood and treasure. As an ally, the U.S. is easily portrayed as guilty by association.
Those promoting the Crotch Bomber scare are part of the problem. In the Information Age, this latest false flag operation is typical of how treason proceeds in plain sight yet, to date, with impunity. Those media outlets marketing this latest lie are an enemy within.

Rustic Parsley and Orzo Soup with Walnuts
From EatingWell.com
This soup recipe is based on a traditional pasta dish that consists of lots of parsley, garlic, chopped walnuts, hot chile, and olive oil, all fried up and tossed with pasta. We amped up the greens, made the pasta a nutritious supporting player, and turned the recipe into a soup. It's best served immediately, because the orzo will absorb liquid as the soup is held. Thin any leftover soup with more vegetable broth, if desired.

Spinal cord stimulation is one way to manage various types of pain. A spinal cord stimulator is an implanted device that sends low levels of electricity directly into the spinal cord. Electrical stimulation is a more modern way to stimulate the nerves of muscles to treat pain, and it's been used for more than 30 years. Other methods of this type of stimulation are TENS (transcutaneous electrical stimulation) units, peripheral nerve stimulation, and deep brain stimulation.
Spinal cord stimulators consist of electrodes, or leads, placed in the epidural space around the spinal cord.
Today's spinal cord simulators allow you to send the electrical impulses into the spinal cord yourself. You use a small device like a remote control. Both the remote control and its antenna are outside your body.
Spinal cord stimulation may be used to treat or manage pain caused by:
Back pain, especially back pain that continues even after back surgery (failed back surgery syndrome)
Heart pain (angina) untreatable by other means
Injuries to the spinal cord
Nerve-related pain
Peripheral vascular disease
Complex regional pain syndrome
Pain after an amputation
Spinal cord stimulation seems to be best at easing pain that comes with nerve-related conditions causing pain of the legs or arms and conditions in which oxygen-rich blood flow is limited.
Spinal cord stimulation can improve overall quality of life and reduce the need for pain medicines. Exactly how spinal cord stimulation works to manage pain isn't well understood. But researchers think it may affect the neurochemistry of the spinal cord.
Spinal cord stimulators come in 3 main types:
Conventional implantable pulse generator, or IPG. A battery is placed in the spine during an operation. The battery must be replaced in another surgery when it runs out. This can be a good choice for people with pain in just 1 body part because they need less energy to manage their pain.
Rechargeable implantable pulse generator. A battery is placed in the spine during an operation. You can recharge it without another surgery. Because the energy source is rechargeable, these stimulators can put out more electricity. This may be a better choice for people with pain in the lower back or in 1 or both legs. The device is more powerful than conventional IPGs.
Radiofrequency stimulator. This type of stimulator is older in design. It uses a battery that's outside the body. This stimulator is rarely used today because of newer designs and better technology, including rechargeable batteries. But like the rechargeable IPGs, these may be better for people with pain in the lower back and legs because of the device's power.
With all 3 types of spinal cord stimulators, you control the level of electricity sent to the spine to make the treatment work better.
Spinal cord stimulation is an expensive treatment that does involve risk because of the major surgery needed to put the device in place. Spinal cord stimulation is usually used along with other pain management treatment. These include medicines, exercise, and relaxation techniques. Spinal cord stimulation is used only when other pain management methods haven't helped to ease your pain.
