I love banana crumble (a banana should love bananas). I've had a version that combines peaches with bananas too and that was delicious as well. Yum! I love my crumbles with hot milk. Double yum!I gracefully stand down and accept my place at #2 or 3 .... you take the cake at being #1 Lucy, Lucy! :D Hilarious! I've never laughed so hard at any blog post before!

ReplyDeleteFunny story!
I made my first banana crumble, 4 months ago. I combined some sweetened coconut to the crumble and everything else is pretty much like the recipe you've highlighted Indecisive over whether I like it or not. I want to say I like berries any kind crumble over banana. Duly inspired, will take another shot at the recipe.
Thanks for sharing.oh, you know what..i'm actually drafting my granola post for tomorrow and checking facebook at the same time. Now i see the connection..haha!Such delicious idea with granola. Will try that! By the way, i'm now trying to pronounce that 'cork' with the "r"..cannot la..if i keep doing it, i scared that i might spit out my phlegm..LOL!
ReplyDeleteNow I know who Lucy is!! Noti, noti!! by the way, do remember to teach us how to loll or roll tongue when we meet next time!! hahahaa...
ReplyDeletelol...that was funny....but that's the reality of what we sometimes get ourselves into:P lucky you..you have your quay lo to the rescue.
I love crumbles (not hubster though. oats and granola do drive him up the wall.) your recipe with banana could be my lifesaver. will try and see whether the man eat it:PSuch a funny story. You're very lucky that someone explained what you actually meant.
As for your banana dessert it sounds delicious and comforting.Hahaha! You made me laugh, even my hubby who was nearby asked why the sudden laugh! Gosh, poor Englishman, only a proper gentleman would go all red!
Your dessert looks delicious! Have a lovely week!Your Ranger is bored? or just waking up lol! Your story is indeed hilarious! I could try this recipe when my bunch of bananas are ripe enough, but then again, my boys are not bananas lovers, sigh!
ReplyDeleteHahhaah! Not Lucy's fault. But very funny and I can imagine the face of the Englishman when hearing the word out from a decent lady.
ReplyDeletehahaha, that's funny!! and i can totally understand the joke after i read the sentence, haha.. reminds me of an audio clip i once heard, the lady asking the man over the phone "you want small cock or large cock, you buy more then i give you large cock for free".. and she actually pronounced coke (coca-cola the fizzy drink) as cock~~ :D

With the catch phrase 'Because History is Violent', these headless dolls are both wrong and strange. There also can't be too many doll websites that warn, "The graphic violence theme of this website may not be suitable for all viewers."
Headless Historicals are dolls which are based on famous historical characters. Even their clothing is historically accurate. They even offer a custom doll service where we can create a historically-dressed victim in the likeness of your choosing.
The bodies display the manner in which the character died. It really does stray into some seriously bad taste territory.

Fascinating, and an utterly compelling read,
This review is from: The Selfish Gene: 30th Anniversary edition (Hardcover)
While you might expect Dawkins' classic to be terrifically interesting (and you'd be right), you'd probably expect it to be a bit of a slog. In this respect you'd be completely mistaken - it flows beautifully, and is seriously difficult to put down. And the whole way through you have the wonderful sense that you're being educated as well as entertained.
The book starts right from first principles, describing a plausible theory for the origin of life, and explaining how more and more complex molecules could have formed in the 'primaeval soup'. Eventually a molecule arose that could replicate itself, and life has never looked back. Dawkins goes on to define a gene, which turns out to be quite an important step (I thought I knew what the word meant already, but I was wrong), and relates how genes have indirect control over what he calls 'gene machines', i.e. living things. Subsequent chapters then detail various survival strategies, 'altruism' and how it can be explained genetically, tensions between sexes and generations, and a new replicator, the 'meme'. One of the most fascinating aspects of the book is the way that Dawkins draws on game theory to assess mathematically the most sensible way for a gene machine to act. In particular, the sections on 'the Prisoner's Dilemma' (a specific game theory scenario which crops up all over the place in nature) are, to me at least, a radical new way of thinking of many problems in (human) life, and how we should approach them. It could have ramifications for politics, social policy, economics, and the environment, to name only a few. Like all the difficult concepts in this book, Dawkins explains this simply and thoroughly, and the reader never feels patronised. And if you ever feel a bit stuck, a captivating, and often extremely bizarre, illustration is selected from the animal kingdom to clarify the point. Dawkins is also refreshingly willing to state that certain aspects of this theory are +the truth+, a brave claim in our muddled, PC society. I would therefore thoroughly recommend this book to the general reader. It's stuffed with hugely stimulating concepts (Dawkins' own 'meme', or replicating idea, is a paricularly rich one), and wonderful snapshots of the animal kingdom. Be warned though, it may take over your life for a while - personally I feel tempted to jack everything in and go and take a bilogy degree!

Brilliant book - dreadful mistakes in Kindle edition,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: The Selfish Gene: 30th Anniversary edition (Kindle Edition)
Wonderful book, let's say that up front. There are however SO MANY annoying mistakes in the Kindle edition and this is SUCH a shame! Especially with dates. eg 19705 for 1970s and 19805 for 1980s.
In the 'Extracts from Reviews' the first (Pro bono publico) was (will be rofl) written in 7977. Then in 'Genes and Memes' we see 'during the 19605 and 19705'. This is just sloppy. I've picked those 2 because it was easier to back-page to find them, than to search the whole book for the other spelling mistakes. But there are lots. I'm just a reader, not a proof-reader, so the errors should have been picked up by a professional before publication. Gill.

Richard Dawkins is a great teacher,
This review is from: The Selfish Gene: 30th Anniversary edition (Hardcover)
As far as evolutionary biology's concerned I'm very interested, but nevertheless a layman. Richard Dawkins has however the rare ability to explain any scientifically difficult subject to practically everybody. His style is easy to read, very understandable, sometimes funny, and he uses very good examples to explain. Anybody having difficulties to understand evolution (and there are many out there) should read Dawkins' The Selfish Gene. A very good book: convincing, informative, readable book.

an inspirational piece of work,
This review is from: The Selfish Gene: 30th Anniversary edition (Paperback)
This is a landmark piece of writing without any doubt. This was in fact the book that sparked a whole genre. Until the success of 'The Selfish Gene' popular science writing was spectacularly under-read. After this popular science sections became noticeable in every self-respecting bookshop.
The book itself tackles what in essence could be a very difficult subject (the level at which natural selection acts) but it articulates it so well. Many since have tried to contribute to the debate but none have the prose skills of Dawkins nor the ability to put over a difficult subject with the reader seeing it as outstandingly obvious and common sense. Dawkins also initiates the idea of the meme as a unit of cultural evolution here for the first time. In the long run this may turn out to be Dawkins biggest original contribution to science and it has spawned many books on the subject since. I have a particular fondness for this book. It was having read this and 'The Blind Watchmaker' which sent me back to full-time education at the age of 29 to read Genetics and subsequently develop a career in science myself. Truly an inspirational piece of work - one of the outstanding books of the Twentieth Century.

This review is from: The Selfish Gene: 30th Anniversary edition (Hardcover)
The Selfish Gene is in a way rather like the antithesis of Lynn Margulis' & Dorion Sagan's Microcosmos. Richard Dawkins, erudite Oxford professor, is basically the voice of reductionist competition. He is by far the most ruthless and logical exponent of Neo Darwinism; masterful passionate, and his book The Selfish Gene is richly drawn from the colourful well of nature in order to back up his claims. His basic idea is that the gene is the ultimate agent of evolution; not the organism, not the population. In fact, he terms organisms as `survival machines', as mere vehicles to lug around genes (another acclaimed title by Richard Dawkins is The Blind Watchmaker). This has huge knock on effects for population dynamics, social organisation, even raising the perspective of gender competition, and generational competition in terms of gene replication. This leads one to the conclusion that life is a soulless, mathematical computational program in which gene expression is a war of survival. Well, I will let you draw your own conclusions from the book, but I recommend it here to demonstrate to you how sometimes radically different approaches in biology can yield similar conclusions; the last few chapters of The Selfish Gene discuss altruism, cooperation, evolutionary stable strategies (ESS), and memes (or thought genes) which bears a resemblance to the language of Microcosmos. My two copies of these books sit side by side on my bookshelf bickering like an old married couple.

A Worthy Addition to Any Library,
This review is from: The Selfish Gene: 30th Anniversary edition (Paperback)
It's ironic that I should have read one of Dawkins' earliest works after reading his newest - doubly so given that the quality of the former eclipses that of the latter by a substantial margin. The Selfish Gene represents Dawkins at his very best: lucid and witty without ever sacrificing his intellectual rigour, he presents his arguments with an unassailable logic that precludes disagreement. Perhaps it is a cliché, but everyone who has an interest in Darwinian evolution should read this book.
That said, there are times when Dawkins belabours some of his points unnecessarily and, occasionally, over-indulges his proclivity for observing the niceties of academic modesty, but the prose never ceases to sparkle and these minor issues really are the harshest criticisms I can muster! The 30th anniversary edition has been updated with some insightful endnotes that enhance (but not interrupt) the original text and bring The Selfish Gene up to date, making it a worthy addition to any library collection.

Dawkins at his best,

This review is from: The Selfish Gene: 30th Anniversary edition (Kindle Edition)
Hadn't read it for 30 years, and it's even better than I remembered it. This is the book that made Dawkins; written before his god-obsession became so irritating that he became almost unbearable (and I'm an atheist). His discussion of the various aspects of evolution is clear, logical, and a great read for students and the lay public alike. The selfish gene is the ideal perspective on the subject, and the book deserves a place on the shelf beside Hawkins' 'Brief History of Time', as a book that demystifies complex issues for us mere human beings.

The Sarcastic Gene,
This review is from: The Selfish Gene: 30th Anniversary edition (Paperback)
I found this book surprising and fascinating and not really what I was expecting.
The basic idea of this book is to promote the idea that when Darwin talked about the survival of the fittest, he was really - although he didn't know it - talking about the fittest gene. There are various candidates for what the "fittest" might be referring to. It might be the fittest individual organism, it might be the fittest group, but Dawkins makes the argument that it is the genes and the attributes they give their host bodies that enables them to survive that makes them the best candidate. The term "selfish" simply refers to the genes that survive are those with the attributes that enable them to best survive - it is fairly tautological, it doesn't mean they will be self-destructively selfish, if being unselfish enables them to survive better, they will be unselfish - so the term, although just a metaphor - is not particularly helpful. What I found surprising about the book is the amount of detail devoted to what are called Evolutionary Stable Strategies (ESS) and various problems of game theory. These are essentially simplified models of survival - or rules of engagement - that organisms might adopt. A simple example might be Hawks and Doves, a Hawk being an organism with aggressive rules of engagement and a Dove being one with submissive rules. If a Hawk and a Dove meet, the Hawk will fight and will always win. If two Doves meet neither will fight, if two Hawks meet each has a 50% chance of winning, the loser suffering various degrees of damage. Fighting itself also expends a certain amount of energy. If you put together a computer model of varying numbers of Hawks and Doves you find a level at which a certain amount of Hawks and Doves can live together. Much of the book enjoys looking at varying the parameters in this sort of model - for example there may not be a steady state, but a repeating cycle of proportions of Hawks and Doves, or imagine a hybrid Hawk-Dove which does not initiate a fight but will fight back if attacked etc. These type of models are susceptible to computer modelling and can be used to explain how organisms with varying attributes come to survive. To illustrate the usefulness of these models a number of fascinating examples from nature are provided - so the different chapters explain bizarre behaviour or strange external attributes, then show how this can be expressed in a computer model and the model then shows how the behaviour or attributes make the organism successful in surviving. What this book shows is the delight Dawkins takes in explaining something. This also makes him a readable author, because he has a mind that enjoys breaking something down into clear and well-understood parts. No wonder this book has sold so well - an author who can explain something clearly is naturally going to survive in the market of books that popularise science. But this also leads me into the problem perhaps people have with Dawkins. As is well-known, Dawkins doesn't like religion, and there are a number of asides in this book where he makes this clear. But I have also noticed in his engagements with the media that Dawkins seems to not always come across well. I read an interview with him in a Sunday paper where he was being very off-hand and unpleasant, yet he himself clearly was unaware of this. At one point the journalist says the way Dawkins treated the photographer was the worst behaviour they had seen, but when they questioned Dawkins about his behaviour he seemed to be totally unaware of how he had behaved and thought his encounter with the photographer had gone rather well. In a book review program on Sky I watched recently Dawkins was in the studio with three other people discussing various books, and everyone seemed to be very off with Dawkins - he really seemed to have rubbed them all up the wrong way. My guess was that Dawkins had realised the other guests were being hostile to him, but was unaware of what he had done to upset them. My point is that Dawkins doesn't appear to like things that are complicated and messy. He likes everything to be clear and straight-forward. In the book review program he was discussing a book he had written for children about how stories and myths about creation are wrong. The other authors were trying to show that stories have different levels of meaning, different layers, were open to different readings and interpretations, we can enjoy a story at many different levels, we can enjoy its ambiguity, its openness, the fact that it leaves some parts unresolved etc, but Dawkins didn't seem to get this - a story was an account that was either true or false. So of course there are times when it is important to simplify and clarify things and Dawkins is good at it. But there is much in life that is mysterious, is unexplained, that we don't have a simple model for, that has layers of meaning, is full of complexity and before this huge unknown we need some humility. One of the strange experiences of listening to Dawkins and his wife read this book is that much of it sounds as if they are reading it in a sarcastic tone. They read it as if they are looking down their noses at anyone who would dare to disagree with them. At one level listening to this book is about learning how Dawkins understands evolution to work. At another level it is the whine of someone disdainful of those who want to see beyond his simplified model of the world.

A classic text in popular biology,
By S. Meadows (UK) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: The Selfish Gene: 30th Anniversary edition (Paperback)
It's important to note that this is a book written back in the 1970s. The author who wrote it should not be mistaken for the divisive figure that he has become within the last 10 years. The edition I picked up was the 30th anniversary edition, which comes with 3 prefaces and a foreword.
Reading the first few chapters, the most striking thing is Dawkins' engaging narrative style. It can be little surprise that subsequent to writing this he was made a professor for the public understanding of science, as his written communication is crystal clear. In addition to the main text, there are some lengthy endnotes which appear to be mostly the product of later editions where there is an extremely defensive tone, in some exasperation of opposition born out of misunderstanding of the ideas and terminology used in the first edition. Although the title of the book implies a book on genetics, this is largely confined to the early couple of chapters with the majority of the book looking at animal behaviour from a gene's point of view. It is easy to see why some might take him for an atomist from these discussions, as he gives little countenance to causes other than genetic inheritance. This may simply be a consequence of his emphasis rather than reflecting his actual views, though such atomism is common, in my experience, amongst those who cite Dawkins as a major source of their scientific knowledge and understanding. However, one has to recall warnings given early in the book about Dawkins' use of terminology. Much of the book is written in simile and metaphor, with many adjectives loaded with the capacity to be misread if one reads the text as a literalist. One of the key themes is altruism. That is, how do organisms end up helping one another out if their genes inheritance follows a rough pattern that might be described as "selfish." Aren't selfishness and altruism polar opposites? Dawkins argues that this is not so. In so doing, the prime target in Dawkins' crosshairs are proponents of "group selection" who (very broadly speaking) favour the idea that animals and plants behave in such a way as to ensure the survival of their particular group. Dawkins argues convincingly that this is an illusion and gives examples where such a theory is left somewhat lacking where the selfish gene theory can provide a reasonable hypothesis. With all this said, though, it has to be noted that Dawkins includes very little hard evidence in his book. To keep things interesting and engaging for the lay reader, we are presented with multiple anecdotes rather than scientific studies. So, reading with due scepticism, one should be wary of accepting all of Dawkins' ideas unquestionably. Indeed, shortly after finishing the book, I was given a link to a paper (though unfortunately, it is hidden behind a paywall) which calls into question Dawkins' "kin selection." This brings us to the weak points of the book. It begins in chapter 10, `You scratch my back, I'll ride on yours' where Dawkins make a quite startling comment for a scientist: "One cannot really speak of `evidence' for this idea, but...." (it's on page 182 of the 30th anniversary edition, if you want the full quote, it's rather too long to copy) - yet in the next chapter, where Dawkins introduces the idea of a meme, he makes his statement that faith is "blind trust, in the absence of evidence, even in the teeth of evidence." Of course, his definition has now become almost as famous as it is erroneous. Yet that fame could mistakenly lead one to think that this was an early example of Dawkins' departure from science into the world of atheistic diatribe; it absolutely is not. It is merely an example that he used to illustrate his innovative idea on the transmission of information. Of course, subsequent decades of works on memetics have proved fruitless, and it is now abandoned as a serious line of enquiry by all but a vocal minority. If this surprises you, I would point you to the last ever edition of the journal of memetics where the situation was summed up quite nicely. Following on from this, Dawkins looks at game theory which may seem out of place in a biology book, but which serves as a useful introduction to anyone who has not encountered it before. The book concludes with an additional chapter not included in the original edition. It is a concise summary of the follow-up book, The Extended Phenotype. It's not an extract for a sequel, which I have seen in some publications, but it serves the same purpose, as an advert for the reader to make a further purchase. In this respect, it is quite successful, as it is as immensely fascinating as the rest of The Selfish Gene. Though some of its ideas have now had severe doubt cast upon them, The Selfish Gene still stands as a wonderful pop science book on biology, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in science. |

Rachmaninov made two transcriptions of works by Kreisler, Liebeslied (1931) and Liebesfreud. Both are light pieces and full of charm, and both display more of Rachmaninov's highly individual musical persona than of Kreisler's charming but lesser one. The Kreisler originals were violin and piano, but are less caloric in texture and less challenging for the performers, too. In this transcription of Liebesfreud—and these comments apply in general to Liebeslied, as well—Rachmaninov alters the harmonies, beefs up the sonic character of the music, creates a new introduction and coda, but still manages to capture the light and charming spirit of the Kreisler piece. Liebesfreud is the more popular and lengthy of the two Rachmaninov/Kreisler works, having a duration of about seven minutes, as compared with the five or so of Liebeslied. It begins with a colorful and muscular introduction in big chords, after which the charming Kreisler theme is playfully rendered. Thereafter, Rachmaninov gives this jaunty theme a variety of brilliant and colorful treatments, not always following Kreisler's lead. Much of the writing contrasts the bold and splashy—as in the thrilling ending—with the delicate and gossamer, as in much of the central part of the piece. -

Moreover, these sensors can be mounted on regular old silicon computer chips using regular old manufacturing processes, opening yet another door in the long hallway toward practical quantum computing.""

_______________________________________________Is there a snippet of the song in the audiobook?
A quick googling shows that the well-known folk song The Ash Grove is
Welsh, being called Llwyn Onn. According to Wikipedia "It tells of a
sailor's love for "Gwen of Llwyn". This sounds a bit of a stretch though
as it is well known as The Ash Grove.Aha, this looks more like it... I also found mention of one called
Gwenno Fwyn (Gentle Gwen). Sadly the only videos on YouTube are all a
rockish rendition by a band called Erland and the Carnival. I did find
a midi file of the tune on a Welsh folk song website though.Take all this with a pinch of slate dust: IANWAKNAFM -- I am not Welsh
and know nothing about folk music :-)Q

Lol what about the supporters of AGW -- everyone ignores that none -- that is correct 0% of their predictions have come true.
No, not really
Yes the raw data is available, and the raw satellite data shows no warming for the last 17 years. GISS has been proven again and again to have been adjusted so that the past appears cooler and the present appears warmer. So when the OP says that raw data disproves this what he links to is not raw data, it is the data adjusted by GISS programs.
You do realize that in the book any kind of civil service qualified you for citizenship. They even went so fast as to try and discourage people from the military side ox service.
You are both wrong. Current government income is at or close to an all time high. We aren't broke, we just are spending too much. And look at the times when the high bracket tax rates were higher -- revenue was down. Raising taxes only increases revenue for a year or two at the end of which people have adjusted their actions to the new rates to avoid payments.
Modern unions have outlived their usefulness. I agree there was worker mistreatment at the hands of employers, and if that kind of mistreatment returns, then bring back the unions. Currently they are just leeches sucking the lifeblood out of the workers they are supposedly in place to protect.
you are foolish if you think just in terms of pump price. Look at the average wage for unskilled labor in North Dakota. This boombis not just affecting a few.
First Aid of all that is the job of the House of Representatives. According to the constitution authority to spend MUST originate in the house. If the shoe was on the other foot and a Republican Senate and President had passed a law that say authorized the FBI to actively prosecute abotion doctors wouldn't you want the democratically controlled house to shut down the government to prevent enactment of that law?
Second, the house is passing funding bills that say nothing about Obamacare. Bills to fund the parks department and the NIS. But the democrats refuse to even consider these, because they want the public to suffer through the shutdown. Because they feel the Republicans will suffer more backlash than they will.
Funny. I feel that environmental issues is political speak for putting money into pork projects like Solyndra.
Note from TFA that the disagreement that Senator Cruz had with the bill was that he and the House supported the version of the bill that said that the money from Helium sales should go to defecit reduction and the bill that passed that he voted against had the money going for national parks and "environmental issues."
That's a fallacy. It means that those people who aren't courteous enough (bad guys) to be polite for the right reasons will be polite because they have to be.
Since everything else seems to have gone in the shitter, I come back to you with a message that seemed to sell well in both campaigns: the environment.
I look forward to again gaining your broad support with a campaign of platitudes, anthemic one-word slogans, and statements that make me appear sympathetic to your issues, while actually resulting in policies that either ossify the current corporation-based lobbyist-driven structure, or expand the pervasive control of the Federal government ostensibly for good reasons but which will in fact be used to incrementally decrease your rights vis a vis that "Constitution" thingy, which I will continue to re-interpret as really not relevant to today's realities anyway.
Your President.
The parent here isn't a troll either -- please people just because you don't agree with an opinion doesn't mean you should mod it as troll!
That said it is a leveling off of the warming accompanied with a steadily increasing CO2 that is causing the heartache. This doesn't "prove" that AGW is a farce as many are saying, but it does raise a lot of questions. None of this levelling was predicted by the current models, even the head of the IPCC agrees that the models need to be re-worked. So if heating is caused by the increase in CO2, where is the heat going? What other mitigating factors are there that aren't being factored into the models?
If this is a service economy, why is the service so bad?

TUCSON - A local flower shop is the latest target of an ongoing phone scam. A caller claims to be from the power company and tries to extort money.
But the scammers picked the wrong business to mess with. The florist called police.
Tucson Police say this scam is at least two years old. The caller threatens to turn off the electricity unless the customer purchases a pre-paid money card. In this case the caller was demanding a thousand dollars.
Jim Stith owns Sav On Flowers. On Wednesday an employee called him panicked. "The message from her went something like, Tucson Electric Power is going to shut our power off in the next couple of hours if we don't get a bill paid," explained Stith.
Forty years in business Stith said he's meticulous with paying bills on time. He called the power company and police. Then called the scammers back.
"We stalled them many times, to see if TPD could do a pick up on their GPS, they of course haven't called me back to tell me if they have or haven't yet," said Stith.
The fraud unit is investigating. Over the past couple years other Tucson businesses have been targeted too. Tucson Police say no arrests have been made connected to this particular scam. The difficulty lies in tracing the phones used.
Tucson Electric Power has posted a warning on its website telling customers they never request payment over the phone. Disconnect notices are mailed.
"They wanted $1,000 but then he came back and said, no we can do $700," described Stith.
The Stith family have been florists for 76 years, on Speedway. By sharing his story Stith hopes to prevent small businesses like his from being taken advantage of.
"So for someone to treat you like that, it's just immoral and it will catch up to them," he said.
If you have been a victim of the scam or have information that can help police catch those behind it, call 911 or 88-Crime.

Reviews (written by customers after their visit)
Enjoyable afternoon tea. Would recommend this spa.
Massage which he loved! My massage was perfect and the masseuse really made
Me feel comfortable and that my baby was always well protected. The Thai lunch we had was perfect as was the French bistro evening meal we had.
The hotel and spa is quite pricey but worth it, the staff were lovely and very helpful at all times. Only slight criticism is the rooms don't have room service but will bring fresh milk to your room, or movies on the tv. The corridors and nets in the room were also looking a little tired but nothing at all to spoil the wonderful break.
The Thai massage was fantastic, one of the best we have had, and the hydrotherapy area was great. We probably would not go there again.
Once settled in to the plush hotel room Carey's had arranged for my partner and I, however, I began to feel the stress subside a little. I suspect the freshly-chilled champagne helped here, but it wasn't until I ventured downstairs into the spa proper that I really remembered what it was to be calm...
Late as I was, I went straight into my treatment; an anti-stress Thai massage in one of the candlelit chambers adjascent to the pool and hydrotherapy suite. In half an hour I felt all the day's woes melt away as my friendly therapist worked mainly on my neck and shoulders, having asked me which parts needed most attention. There were smells, bells and only one or two yells from me as she kneeded away the tension.
Feeling utterly chilled, I followed up my massage with a proper tour of the spa's facilities. As well as the expected pool, jacuzzi and sauna, Sen Spa has an adjoining hydrotherapy suite for those on its spa break package. So I donned my bikini and went to see what was on offer.
The suite's main attraction is its therapy pool, which has specially designed underwater seating areas, where you can sit or lie in utmost comfort. Like a kid in a candy store I soon leapt into the warm water and started pressing all the buttons that make bubbles and fountains appear from nowhere.
Once out of the pool, I found myself faced with an inviting row of doors, each leading to a different sensory delight. The first door I tried led to the poshest sauna I've ever seen, complete with twinkly lights to aid relaxation. Next came the 'storm showers' which shoot out warm and cold water to simulate a tropical storm, with flashing lights and sound effects for extra ambience - surprisingly plesant after the dry heat of the sauna! Behind other doors, I found a Roman-style tepidarium, a crystal steam room and 'health showers' featuring aromatic mists.
It was soon time for dinner in the spa's own Thai restaurant, followed by a good night's sleep in my huge and comfortable bed. Despite being no morning person and quite keen to continue 'testing' the sleeping arrangements, I was up bright and early to make the most of my time at the spa.
The hours flew by and I left knowing that I'd happily recommend Sen Spa to anyone. It's ideal for anyone wanting a bit of high-octane pampering, but would also suit seasoned spa-addicts looking for something new. Whether you go with friends, a partner or on your own, you can guarantee you won't run out of things to do!
Staff were very helpful and knowledgable, amking everything very easy and straightforward, changing rooms were comfortable with generously sized lockers and the overall ambience was peaceful and relaxing - and not overcrowded.
Although my facial was lovely, it wasn't anything out of the ordinary, unlike the rest of the spa. The spa itself was the best I have ever visited by a long way.
However I would have liked to be able to get a cup of tea or soft drink in the "wet" area of the spa rather than having to dry and change to go for one. I think on fine days it would have been possible to get one in the garden, but on the wet and windy day I visited this wasn't an option.

Sarah Palin loves moose burgers and Ted Nugent says wild game, like moose, is the perfect food. Sarah Palin was already enjoying moose meat as a teen, as pictured center at age 17. Sarah Palin is also fond of caribou, having killed her fair share.
Moose is "legal renewable game" as Nugent calls it and he recommends Sarah Palin enjoy her young venison over hot coals with lots of garlic and butter and served rare. He also recommends pairing it with a good African red wine.

I'm 19, shredding's my life, the mountain I ride is not rad it's bad. I'm not a rapper, I still like Burton(at least it's not Technine...Jesus). I'm a Newfie, I have all my teeth and live in a house. Soft boards ftw, jibbing's fun, jumps are scary, someone show me how to back flip.
I have a pair of 32/32 Eddy's from last season and they fit a bit looser in the thigh area than these current versions I just ordered that are the same size. As a result the jeans are a bit more snug (restricting but not skin tight). I could definitely increase my waist size an inch or so to a 33-34 and they would fit fine; I'll get away with them for now as they're still quite comfortable and still my favourite style of jean. WESC's quality is very consistent I will definitely be getting more of it in the future and I recommend their stuff to anyone.

Barbara White has spent several years coaching the West Union bowling teams, with the girls picking up a state title in 2008, and the boys falling shy in two of the four years they have participated. The Eagles added to their success in the sport, claiming the first boys' title, defeating defending champion East Union in Baker Style at the state championships last Friday.
"We felt after North Half that it would come down to the two of us in the finals, and it's a friendly rivalry, so it was great that it turned out that way," White said.
"These kids have worked together, practicing in New Albany, and it's a friendly rivalry. No matter who wins, they're always cheering for one another."
The Eagles bowled games of 831, 782, 888 and 847 for total of 3348 to make it to the Baker Style championship against the Urchins. In that round, the Eagles swept East Union, 3-0, to take the championship.
Dalton Baggett bowled both the high game and high series for West Union, with scores of 233 and 857 respectively.
After winning the North Half title a week earlier, the Lady Eagles fell short in their title run, as Pisgah defeated West Union, 3-2 in Baker Style.
Callie Baggett recorded the high game of 193, and Jessica Clark bowled a high series of 617, as the Lady Eagles had game scores of 635, 651, 624 and 735 for total of 2645 to make it to the Baker Style round.
"It was disappointing, but they did a great job of putting themselves in position all day to make it to the Baker Style," White said. "There were just a couple little things that could have helped us get first, but overall, I have no complaints. All of the kids performed great."
Eagles capture first boys' bowling championship

Having some issues with my z2 bluetooth dropping. Very strange.
I can connect my bluetooth on the z2 to any device without issue ( namely my 2013 Hilux), however, after 40s, my bluetooth will drop, and reconnect withing about 2-3 seconds, and start the cycle again, on and on forever. I am not sure why it does this? It happens when i just leave it connected and do nothing with it, or when i play music too.
The interesting thing is, if i receive a call, i will be able to speak with someone for the first 40s, then the bluetooth will disconnect and reconnect (all in about 2-3) seconds, and after that i will not experience any more bluetooth drops for the entirety of my journey, either through leaving it there connected not doing anything or playing music. Very strange.
Ive tried turning, stamina off, wifi off, nfc off, etc but nothing seems to change it.
Does anyone have any insight on this? Its like the bluetooth on the z2 is requesting something from my other devices, and when it doesnt receive it, shuts off, then as my bluetooth is on and recognizes my paired device is nearby, reconnects straight away. If i get a call as ive mentioned, its like whatever the z2 is looking for it just ignores it and keeps the connection regardless.

Burglar hits three Route 313 homes in one day, police sayFebruary 23,2013ARLINGTON State police are investigating the alleged burglaries of three Route 313 homes in West Arlington which they believe happened between 10 a.m. Wednesday and 9 a.m. Thursday.
In a press release, Trooper Thomas Stange said the items taken from the homes were mostly jewelry and silver.
Police believe the burglaries, which took place within a section of about six miles on Route 313, were related.
Evidence at the scene indicates that whoever was responsible for the burglaries was on foot.

Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE - Sheriff's department deputies Wednesday arrested a 20-year-old Lawrenceville man wanted in connection with at least two armed robberies in Lawrenceville.
Stacey Bourbonnais, Gwinnett County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman, said Anthony Andrew Yancey of the Norwood Apartments was arrested near Carver Circle in Lawrenceville and faces multiple charges, including two counts of armed robbery, two counts of aggravated assault and two counts of possession of a weapon during the commission of a crime. Yancey is believed to have used a gun in the attempt to rob four Hispanic men March 23 at their homes on Forest Place in Lawrenceville. At 11:36 p.m., a man believed to be Yancey approached a man walking along Forest Place and demanded his money, according to a police report. The same night Yancey allegedly robbed three other Hispanic men in the neighborhood and fired shots at one of them, but his gun misfired. During the past weeks, investigators discovered Yancey often hung out in the Carver Circle area of downtown Lawrenceville, Bourbonnais said. "Our SWAT team arrested Yancey after a brief foot chase," Bourbonnais said. "The Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force and the Lawrenceville Police Department also assisted us in the arrest." Yancey was also charged with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, Bourbonnais said. Two others were also arrested at the same time as Yancey, but Bourbonnais said investigators do not believe the two are connected to last month's robberies. They believe the two were friends of Yancey who happened to be with him at the time of the arrest. Jennifer Wise, also known as Jennifer Hosch, 24, of 379 Shoal Court, and Richard Diamond Smith, 47, of 298 Carver Circle, were arrested and charged with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. Bourbonnais said Yancey has been incarcerated at the Gwinnett County Jail before. The Lawrenceville man was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana in May. Wise and Smith have also been arrested before. Bourbonnais said Wise's jail history goes back to 2000 with incarcerations in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004 and 2005. Wise faced fraud-related charges, violation of probation and two counts of shoplifting. Smith was arrested in 1998, 1999 and 2001 on drug-related charges and public drunkenness. All three are being held at the Gwinnett County Jail without bond.More like this story

50 Year Old Buckminster Fuller Project Gets a $7 Million Upgrade
Posted By Tafline Laylin On November 8, 2011 @ 6:50 pm In Architecture,News | 1 Comment
The Ohio Historic Preservation Office [8] in Columbus and the National Park Service [9] in Washington, D.C. were responsible for making sure that Dimit Architects [10] – who were brought on board to mostly service the interior furnishings – preserved all of the original building materials [11] and retain the project's historic integrity. According to Metropolis, these included copper fin-tub radiators, a large single pane of plate glass, and open tread stainless steel stairways.
The geodesic dome – possibly the largest in the world at 250 feet in diameter – has undergone previous tuneups and was therefore left untouched during this renovation. But it remains structurally sound, and gives the offices its undeniably rich visual presence!

Yeah, if you would pay the country's bills like the constitution says you have to do, that would be great. Apparently the President already has the Speaker in checkmate before he even makes his first move. http://www.politicususa.com/2013/09...ohn-boehner-laughing-debt-ceiling-threat.html
Boehner is a wuss-he lacks the intestinal fortitude to go up against prezBO just like prexBO lacks the intestinal fortitude to go up against putin
We don't and never have needed to increase the debt limit to stay current on our sovereign debt. The only things we would fall behind on if we hit cap would be the idiotic and vain promises we made ourselves that we never had the means to pay for.
Boehner is a pathetic excuse for a leader and will go down as one of the worst Speakers ever. He can't even control his own caucus let alone get anything comprehensive done.
Not sure he has any to carry. http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=video+of+boehner+crying&FORM=VIRE3#view=detail&mid=AF736475831BAC438B09AF736475831BAC438B09
The thread headline could just as easily read: "Putin Humiliates Obama By Laughing At His Threats". Same difference
Yep. Obama is acting like a child that's taking his personal humiliation to vent his anger towards Boehner. Obama got spanked on the world stage by Putin and Obama's venting.
Yeah, if you would pay the country's bills like the constitution says you have to do, that would be great. Yes, and it would have been great if previous presidents did too - like Reagan, Bush 1 and Bush 2. Why this issue suddenly bothers conservatives is baffling.
Wow, you really don't get it, do you? The irresponsible deficit spending has ALWAYS bothered TRUE conservatives. It's the RINOS who wanted to accept it and make excuses for it. Reagan-got fooled by believing the Democrats to be good for their word in promising to reduce spending, which didn't happen. Reagan was wrong to sign the bills. Bush I-classic RINO. I respect him as a war hero, but he was a lousy President Bush II-took irresponsible spending to an unprecedented level. Another bad President. Bush III aka Obama-made all of the other bad, irresponsible Presidents and their soul killing deficits COMBINED look like pikers.
So when does the runaway spending stop if Congress and the President never instill fiscal discipline on the Federal Govt? How long can we continue to run $500B-$1T deficits, keep passing deficit funded budgets and cry foul when the debt ceiling isn't raised? What stops the momentum? What puts us in a position to leave the circular calc of running further into debt, but mandating we continually raise the debt ceiling to pay for previous legislation and budgets, all the while advocating for better fiscal management? The only answer is to force the government to prioritize what's important via deep and indiscriminate budget cuts until those running it get the message. The message that unless they figure out how to live within their means, it'll be figured out for them. It's what happened in the sequester and more of it needs to happen until it sinks in. But nobody with any intellectual honesty or objectivity can advocate for continuing to raise the debt ceiling because we need to "pay bills we've already racked up", without also advocating for fiscal pain for the Federal Government so we're not forced to continually face the same issue.
it's only a humiliation if Boehner learns from it. since that is not likely it isn't a humiliation it's a beatdown
All these things are being done under the current administration. If you have any doubts just go back and look at government growth under Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II.
Yeah, the tru conservatives alway worry about deficits but they lose their voice when a pub president is in office. They only find their voice to make excuses for the growth of government and deficits under the same pub presidents.
Yeah, the tru conservatives alway worry about deficits but they lose their voice when a pub president is in office. They only find their voice to make excuses for the growth of government and deficits under the same pub presidents. Exactly my point. That, or they blame the Democrats. It's Texi who flat out does not "get it". Look in the mirror and say "WOW!".

Not many are new, but there's only several that I recognise (or know who the parents are). Anyway I love;
Cricket Pearl - I actually love both of these
Blue Ivy - hated this at first, but Bey has good taste.
Frances Bean - I don't think I could ever dislike a name Kurt and Courtney chose!!
Gaia Romilly - pretty, nothing wrong here, as I remember her mum is Emma Thompson? I don't know why I remember that.
Gulliver Flynn - again, nothing weird here. I like both.
Morocco Elijah - I like both names but I guess it's unusual
Bluebell Madonna - I ADORE Bluebell, and Madonna appeals to me for some reason (of course I love Madonna too)for future darlings

These are my favourites:
Booker Jombe- I love Booker. 'Nuff said.
Cricket Pearl- I love love love this. Up there with Frances Bean for me, and that is saying something.
Happy- I love Happy (it was on the short list for both my sister and I), but I do worry about temper tantrums. Kudo's to whoever chose this though.
Frances Bean- This is among the best moniker's ever created for a real person.
Gaia Romilly- This isn't odd at all. Gaia? I know a handful of Gaia's. Most people just see it as a variation on the super popular Maya.
Gulliver Flynn- This isn't odd. This is perfection. I'm sorry to whoever made this list, but Gary Oldman can do no wrong. It is a universally accepted law. He is Dracula- he will find you and suck your blood with Béla Lugosi.
Satchel- I love this. Weird meaning for a child's name, but a cool word.
Seven Sirius- I actually like Seven, and Sirius. I know lots of people think of that Seinfield episode, but I like it. Seven would be a cool kid, and he could use Seth if he hated it.
Bear Blu- Kind of cute.
Ignatius- It's Ignatius, it doesn't need an explanation: Iggy is wonderful.
Betty Kitten- I love Betty. I prefer Kitty, but Kitten is pretty cool.
Hopper Jack- I love Hopper. So friendly and bouncy. I don't think it is odd.
Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily- I love the name Tiger Lily (Peter Pan). I've always thought it was so beautiful- extremely unusual, but I would be proud to have that moniker.
Banjo- This really isn't weird. In Australia, one of the most revered poet's was Banjo A.Patteron, and considering it was chosen by an Australian actress, I think this wonderful name is honouring Patterson.
Best Names:
Cricket Pearl
Frances Bean
Gulliver Flynn
Hopper Jack
Tiger Lily

So, for a preface I live and work in South Korea. Unless are willing to kiln your own grains you sometimes find yourself without any ingredients for a while since homebrewing isn't very popular here (compared to USA, where I am from). Not only that, but grain is relatively expensive. Rice, on the other hand, is abundant! Anyway, there is a traditional Korean drink called makgeolli (mah - guh - lee) that is a non-homogenous rice beer type drink. It's actually quite good and since I can get rice anytime, I figured why not try it? My question is does anyone know if rice will convert on it's own if it's 100% of the mash? Makgeolli typically isn't made the same way you make beer. It's more like this...http://seoulkitchen.wordpress.com/20...ato-makgeolli/ However, I would like to try it the same way I make any other all grain beer and maybe ferment it with S-04 and then keg. Does anyone have any thoughts, will this even work? If this worked I'd LOVE to try some hopped makgeolli!

Rice (even malted) lacks the enzymes needed to convert starch to sugar. In this case the mold (which your link calls nu-ruk) provides the enzymes (sake is made in the same way with a mold called koji). I'm part way through making my first batch of sake, interesting stuff, but much more time/labor intensive than making a batch of beer. You could supplement a malted barley mash with up to ~30% rice if you wanted to cut costs. You would need to first grind and then boil the rice to gelatinize the starches. Could be interesting, but the beer will be on the thin side (Budweiser contains quite a bit of rice for this reason.)
Check out The Mad Fermentationist for my adventures in fermentation and my book: American Sour Beers!
You need mold...I've used Koji on rice and millet and it works really well. Nu-ruk is a different animal and I've only seen it used in China. I would just use Koji. I've had Makgeoli, and I'd suggest Indian/Pakistani Basmati Rice (Royal is the best) or Thai Jasmine Rice. Korean rice will work just fine, too. Stay away from Japanese and Chinese rice. I've got some recipes very similar to this for Chaang and Rhaski.

The DuPont Story A Family A Company:
Alfred I. in Florida in 1926. I love the 20's and am addicted to BOARDWALK EMPIRE. The protagonist, Nucky Thompson, is in Tampa now and scheming over 'swamp land'. By no means I am suggesting that A.I. was in any way unethical - quite the opposite. But he saw great potential in the great wilderness of the pine forests and natural harbors of the Panhandle. Over 8 years he purchased 320,000 acres. The tiny hamlet of Port St Joe was included (think St. Joe Paper Co.) His vision was to pave the roads in the panhandle. He created and became Pres of Gulf Coast Hwys Assoc. and financed it. His dream was to create "The Florida Loop", a 1000 mile road to connect Jacksonville to Miami (and in the offing put cousin Coley du Pont's measly 100 mile Rt 13 to shame.) These last 15 years of his life were mainly spent in FL.
