Out of all the fake tanners I've used, this would have to be the best one. I am fairly light so i use the light shade and its the perfect color for me. I dont want it to appear obvious that I'm wearing fake tan - I just want some color so I'm not so white! Especially my legs!
I apply it on with the mitt and it gives a very even color, even on the ankles and knees (which is the hardest parts to look natural for me)
Its got a nice coconut smell and the tan lasts about 1 week. I noticed that if i apply it again 2-3 days later, it is patchy and streaky... But if i leave 1 week for the tan to completely fade and apply on freshly exfolilated skin again and its perfect for that week. I will be repurcahsing once I'm finished :)

I have been self tanning for almost 10 years now so you could say I have used a variety of self tan products. I always used to use le tan mousse (not enough longevity) or st tropez (dried too quickly so was streaky) until a work friend recommended bondi sands dark foam about 2 years ago.
It's such a nice dark colour which lasts and doesn't have a biscuity smell.
It was out of stock the other week at my local priceline. I purchased le tan mousse again as I needed something as I was going out and I ended up throwing it out! Bondi sands lasts so much longer and has such a darker colour.
Never again will I purchase another self tanner again!!

This is, in my opinion, the best self-tanner on the market. I have used the St. Tropez Self Tanning Foam and this is a far superior product in my opinion. Firstly, application is actually easy! With a mitt it spreads easily and it blends out well. This stuff does not 'dry' instantly, unlike St Tropez, and that means that you can go back and blend out any streaks to get the perfect coverage. I can go over and over until I get the perfect blend. Amazing as it takes the stress out of self-tanning. Secondly, the colour is perfectly brown without any hints of orange at all. You can apply a second coat after 30 mins for an even deeper, darker tan. And you can get really dark with this stuff. But one application washed off after 3 hours or so (half the recommended time) will give maybe 1-2 shades darker if you don't want to go super dark. This stuff is so good because you can play with it to get the darkness you want. I personally apply two coats and leave on overnight in the middle of summer and going into summer and coming out I just do one coat and leave on for 6 hours. Sometimes I'll just leave it on for an hour or two for a freshen up in spring and autumn. Thirdly, this stuff smells amazing! Like coconuts. I don't get any fake tan smell, except a little bit on my sheets because I sleep in the tan overnight whilst it develops. I have never had any patchiness or built up colour with this stuff. It is really forgiving and if you have exfoliated properly and moisturised blotchy areas then you will not see any build up with this stuff.
If you're reading these reviews to decide what to buy don't do what I did and get St. Tropez (or another expensive brand) just because it is expensive and well-known! This stuff is so much better than anything else I have used and it is SO affordable. I will never try any other self-tanner. This is my self-tanner for life. Try it!

I have been using fake bake flawless for a few months now and have been loving it but I've seen all over Instagram bondi sands and had to get myself some. I am so happy I did! It is very easy to apply and blends perfect, has an amazing color looks like I've been in the sun all day. This is by far the best self tanner ever used I need to purchase more!
Easy to apply
Blends amazing (no splotches)
Amazing brown color
Awesome color guard
I live in Canada so takes about 2 weeks to ship here
Is somewhat expensive when you add in shipping
Slight self tanning smell
If you want to be very tan fast then you need this!!!

I've been searching for what seems like forever for a fake tan that is a) suitable and appropriate for everyday use and b) affordable. I've tried and loved St. Tropez for it's green, orange-counteracting properties but realistically - $60 for a bottle is pushing the bank. I can't remember how I stumbled upon this Bondi Sands self tanning foam, but I got it because I heard it was comparable to St. Tropez and a fraction of the price. I own the St. Tropez extra dark mousse and honestly, I prefer the Bondi Sands. Now I'm going to explain why.
This mousse is awesome because as forementioned, it applies with a greenish hue which means it is going to work it's butt off to ensure you don't turn that dreaded orange colour. I don't know about you but if I want a tan, I want to look olive/brown. When I first applied this after my shower and moisturizing, I freaked out about how streaky it looked. Don't let this worry you! It settles eventually and after your next shower the streaks will be gone. I initially loved the soft olive colour my skin had turned from the application and I thought about washing it off after 4 hours (I'm naturally super pale, think MAC NC10 - I don't want to look unnaturally dark) but I left it overnight and I'm really glad because I awoke to the most gorgeous brown colour I've ever seen from a fake tan. It looked even less orange than the St. Tropez.
I've had it on five days now and I've got no patchiness, none of those white spots that I always get when fake tan is fading and still think the colour looks incredibly natural and even.
I love this now and it's my HG fake tan, my go-to. I really recommend picking up a bottle while you're at Priceline some time! What have you got to lose?

This is the most AMAZING tan iv ever used. I have pale-med skin, with freckles and absolutely HATED DIY fake tan before using this product.
I have been using solariums and spray tanning weekly for the last 6 years, scared to damage my skin further I went on the hunt for a false tan that looked as close as possible to my normal sunbed tan I have gotten so used to! Bondi sands foam in dark is a 10/10 for me - costs AU$20 from Priceline but they have it on sale every second week so can get it even cheaper. A bottle lasts me about 4-6 weeks depending how often I have out it on each week.
I apply just one coat, all over the body with the Bondi Sands tanning mitt and I leave it on anywhere from 3-8 hours. 3 hours gives a beautiful, even, golden glow whereas 6+ gives me a dark tan, perfect for nights out and special occasions. I prefer washing after 3 hours for a more natural look for during the day.
I smooth moisturiser onto my ankles, wrists, knees and elbows and then apply in long sweeps over my limbs and then back, stomach, chest. Then I mix a small amount of the foam with any moisturiser in a bowl and moisturise in to the back of my hands and tops of my feet, around ankles. Wipe my hands with baby wipes and done! Dries in 10minutes and I continue with my day, easy! It goes on dark so you can see what you are doing and If u find it looks patchy keep rubbing in with the mitt and it will even itself out. It's so natural my fake tan hating bf asked me to tan him - crazy!
It comes off after about 5 days by itself, without me scrubbing or anything I realise Im white again, but I don't notice any blotching or uneven patches I just get out of the shower white one day. I usually just apply every Friday around 2pm and wash off around 5/5.30 and during the week I just moisturise with any moisturiser to keep it glowing and my skin from flaking.
Only negative is the tanning mitt quality itself, only lasts me 2 weeks before my fingers start to break through the seams. Otherwise this product is AMAZING and you will not be disappointed.

Dare I say that this is better and longer lasting than getting a spray tan done (and a lot more convenient for me, too!) I am naturally fair skinned with an olive undertone, so when I do tan, it transitions into a nice, Mediterranean olive colour. This product replicates that colour beautifully, with no streaks or unpleasant fake tan smell (gives off a nice coconut scent). Application is very easy and I recommend using a tanning mitt. It rubs on smoothly and is very easy to see the parts where you miss - I like how it's forgiving for the small places you missed, as it doesn't dry instantly. I have both the mousse and lotion in the dark, and while they're both great, I prefer the lotion as I personally find it easier to apply.
The directions say to wash it off after 6 hours, however, I tend to apply this at night and sleep with it on, then wash it off in the morning. Definitely doesn't over-develop or give off a bad colour. I find that this fake tan lasts 5-7 days before it starts gradually fading (another good thing). All in all, a 5 star product that's excellent value for money and provides a beautiful colour.

Best self tanning product I've ever used -HG for sure!
Non-sticky, pleasant smelling, doesn't transfer, lasts a fairly long time if you moisturise consistently and develops into a deep, natural bronze colour -no orange.
Compared to another great brand, St Tropez, Bondi Sands is less expensive and develops into a much darker colour.
Price is usually $19.95, but stocked up 10 bottles as it was on sale at Priceline for $9.95 -doesn't have an SPF so they won't expire.
Will buy over and over again.

Holy grail tan! I've tried and tested just about every fake tan on the market and this is by far the best! I always struggle around my feet area to get it looking natural but with this tan it's 100 times better than other tan! Normally I get bright orange feet no Matter how little product I apply but with this tan it's kept to a minimum lol

I saw so many good reviews on this product so i decided to buy it.
it was my first time fake tanning and i have super pale skin. MAC studio fix in NW10 is too dark for me. i did everything i saw online to do (exfoliate,shave,moisturise etc) appiled the tan after my shower evenly with a mitt. woke up the next morning and showered it off and my arms turned orange!!!!!! the rest of my body was bearable but now my arms are bright orange :( i didn't think this would happen since i read sooooo many good reviews on this product and the foam had a green tinge so i thought that would neutralise the orange. :(
at least it smells nice

BER, I think I figured it out
naturalstuff(Z6 / CT)August 10, 2005
I didn't understand why I had BER only on the potted ones. Although I had some good yeilds from it, to many had BER. Then I noticed a new Italian Plum plant which I planted late (end of June) started producing fruit just last week.
I noticed there is BER on them too.
I came to the conclusion that it is the soil contributing to it. I used Miracle Grow Potting mix which might have been to strong for the 4 week old plant.
Any thoughts?

Rhubarb Crumble
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: My crumble isn't too far off the usual, but I prefer to increase the ratio of sugar to butter and flour for an extra crisp topping, and I use whole wheat pastry flour, which adds a nuanced softness of flavor, too. I also barely sweeten the rhubarb so that it's a tart contrast to the sweet topping and I don't gum it up with thickeners. Tart against sweet, meltingly tender rhubarb against the crunch of baked sugar and butter and whole wheat pastry flour, hot fruit with cold ice cream, and quick to make, too. What's not to love? - ALittleZaftig
Serves 8
- 6 cups diced rhubarb
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 pinch salt
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium baking dish, toss the rhubarb with the ¼ c. of sugar.
- In a medium bowl, pinch together the butter, remaining sugar, flour, and salt until it resembles sand and has butter pieces no bigger than the size of an almond. The mixture will come together when pressed or squeezed when it is sufficiently combined. Crumble the crumble in an even layer over the rhubarb.
- Bake the crumble until it is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Serve warm with pouring cream, custard, or ice cream. It may be rewarmed in a 350 degree oven.

House GOP Paints Itself Into a Corner on Payroll TaxesDecember 20, 2011 - by Donny Shaw
The Senate, having voted 89-10 to approve an extension of payroll tax cuts, unemployment benefits and dome other policies that are scheduled to expire on January 1st, has recessed for the year and gone home for the holiday recess. All that the House has to do to make the bill officially ready to be signed into law is hold a simple up-or-down vote on the Senate's bipartisan bill. But during a 3 a.m. meeting of the House Rules Committee last night, the Republican majority devised a different plan — twist the voting procedure so that the Senate's bill can be rejected while allowing the Republicans to save face by technically voting "aye."
David Dayen at FDL News Desk reports:
The procedural wizards in the House Republican caucus stayed up late last night to concoct this scheme, a way to dispose of the Senate's payroll tax deal by voting affirmatively. They think this helps insulate their members from charges of rejecting the deal, and causing a tax increase of on average $1,000 a year. Here's how it'll go down:
Instead of putting the deal up for a vote, they will vote to call a conference committee with Senate negotiators to reconcile their poison pill-laden bill with the Senate bill that received 89 votes. Then they will pass a "motion to instruct conferees" that will essentially tell them to pass their version of the bill. The minority will have the opportunity to enter their own motion to instruct conferees, but in all likelihood that will be voted down.
Remember, these are the same Republicans that cried holy hell during the "deem and pass" era, when Democrats tried to pass the health care bill without actually passing it. Now they're trying the same thing, so that when their members are confronted over this vote, they can have this exchange:
Democrat: You voted to increase taxes on the middle class. Republican: No I didn't, I voted to send our bill to conference. It's not my fault that the Senate didn't show up! (flash toothy grin).
House Republicans say they oppose the bipartisan Senate bill because it only extends the payroll tax cuts for two months. But the Democrat-led Senate has been trying for months to get the Republicans to support a longer-term extension. The Republicans have repeatedly rejected the Senate's offers, first demanding that the tax cut be offset (a huge flip-flop), then that nobody who makes over $1 million sees an increase in their taxes (thereby risking a large tax increase on the middle class), and then that a provision related to the Keystone XL oil pipeline be attached to the legislation. At this point, the Senate has agreed to give in to both of those demands, but only for long enough to keep the payroll tax cuts in effect while they negotiate a longer deal. That's what the Republicans will be rejecting today, while trying to obscure the procedure and make it look like they're the ones being pro-active.

Once again, you've produced a spun version of non-objective untruth! The Republicans, best I understand, want to extend the duration of the payroll tax cuts to 12 months PLUS create 20K [estimated] jobs by allowing the oil pipeline to proceed.
The Senate pushed through a cut for 2 months, then, after yet ANOTHER temporary patch, the Senate LEFT TOWN attempting to FORCE the Republican's hand. But, this policy puts companies in an untenable position because they have NO CERTAINTY past the 2 months, then, the hoopla starts again.
In the end, this "tax cut" has NO MATERIAL IMPACT on the economy, but ONLY depletes further the Social Security funds available to pay out to existing Seniors. But, that pipeline will create jobs, tap FRIENDLY RESOURCES from Canada to add to supply, lowering the price of oil, and it will marginally improve our National Security!
Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of the Republicans … but they're DAMN RIGHT on this one.
I mostly agree with you. One thing I dislike is that Republicans attached the pipeline to this bill in the first place. I think that's wrong. In my opinion, bills should go through congress with one purpose and should not have other issues tacked on so that that the secondary measure will pass. It's sneaky and only contributes to the inability of congress to of anything these days.
They should pass a procedural amendment outlawing this kind of play.

The pipeline creates around 1500 jobs not 20 thousand. It would be build over important watershed area that feeds the farming industry in a dozen or so States, The REPUBLICAN governor and leg of the State it goes through are against it, The pipeline would be build over area's of soft soil that shifts around likely leading to breaks and spills, these same soft soil area's are very permeable to the underground water below, Keystone XL wants exemptions from liability and environmental rules as part of their application, The jobs are entirely temporary, and that doesn't even go into the problems that liberals have with the thing related to the type of oil dirtiness of the tar sands process and objections to the abusive way this thing is trying to be shoved through.
Its a crap deal, why the hell should America put $10's of billions worth of farm industry in harms way for a foreign corporation and a few temporary jobs?
"But, this policy puts companies in an untenable position because they have NO CERTAINTY past the 2 months, then, the hoopla starts again."
This only effects employee side of the contribution of SS FICA taxes, and unemployment insurance. Has nothing todo with what corps and employers pay.
It was passed with a super majority of Senate republicans within the republican caucus, and this wasn't rushed, Hardly their isn't enough time to run a conference committee and pass something because the house waited so long to deal with it.
"In the end, this "tax cut" has NO MATERIAL IMPACT on the economy,"
Complete nonsense, The problem in the current economy is a demand side issue. People don't have the money to spend because of high unemployment, 401K loses, lower job/pay advancement due to to many people delaying retirement, company profits are up, worker productivity is WAY up, and 22-28% of the population is unable to fully participate in the economy due to unemployment and underemployment.
Putting $1000 into the pockets of every work(on avg) and it will get spent, spending creates new jobs as companies seek to supply the goods those people demand. Corporations don't make things they can't sell if they can at all help it, They won't manufacture products for people who can't buy them.
Over concentration on micro economics has caused to many to lose sight of the larger picture, its the wages of the average working man/woman that satisfies demand, we can't hide wage stagnation behind credit anymore.
- Actually the economy is a lot more complex than both demand and supply side economics.But that's a long term equation that no one bill or even a series of bills will be able to solve. The very absolute thing that we know that this bill is trying to help is the fact that this economy needs any help that it can get. I could get into mini discussions about this but this is very easily solved. The president needs to drive the mile down the road call both houses back actually sit down and hash things out together. Part of the problem is that they try to work out agreements away from each other. Be leaders and if you cant lead resign your post and leave Washington.
I think it was a shame that the Senate was expected by the House to stay in Washington for Christmas after they did their job. We're also only talking about an extension to the tax cut so that they could fight another day over each of their priorities, not something to difficult to do.
I really don't care how uncertain the job creators are; they've had things easy in the last several years and it's time our government pays more attention to us workers and our needs, not just the job creators. Things are beginning to turn around now anyway
And as far as our economy; it's as simple as having confidence that it will succeed if all sides are playing fairly. It is all about supply and demand, with some confidence thrown in for good measure, Jwalsh. We complicate it with a lot of stuff but believe me, if we just give the middle class some reason to have confidence, then the job creators will have a reason to create jobs.
The Supply and Demand that we were referring to were within the Macroeconomic principles of economics. You have a Supply side theory that basically feels that if you reduce regulations and taxes on businesses that it will lower cost and stimulate growth. Demand side theory feels that you cut taxes on citizens and increase government spending hoping that citizens will buy more goods. Neither theory has worked 100% of the time. I believe there is more to the equation to fix the economy than these two theories.

Obama Chooses Former U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White To Head SEC
Originally published on Thu January 24, 2013 10:43 am
Mary Jo White, a former U.S. attorney in New York who prosecuted terrorists responsible for the bombings of the World Trade Center and U.S. embassies in Africa, will be nominated by President Obama to head the Securities and Exchange Commission.
NPR's Scott Horsley gets that word from a senior White House official. Other news outlets are being told the same thing. The president is expected to make the announcement this afternoon. White would succeed Mary Schapiro, who stepped down last month.
White was U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York for nine years, until January 2002. That year, she joined the New York-based law firm Debevoise & Plimpton. She has been a director of the Nasdaq Stock Exchange.
Obama is also expected to say he will renominate Richard Cordray to lead the newly created Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Last January, Obama used a "recess appointment" to put Cordray in that job while the Senate was on vacation. Republicans had been trying to block Cordray's appointment.
Update at 10:43 a.m. ET:
"The SEC plays an essential role in the implementation of Wall Street reform and rooting out reckless behavior in the financial industry, and White's background in enforcement and record of success make her the perfect choice to lead the agency at this important time," a White House official said.
Bloomberg noted that White's nomination "is a departure for the agency, because it has tended to be run by lawyers steeped in financial policy making and the securities industry."
Her nomination "could signal a move to get tougher on Wall Street," The Wall Street Journal reported. "It also could help quiet criticism that Mr. Obama isn't putting enough women or minorities in key posts in his second term. The SEC chairman, who leads an independent agency, isn't a member of the president's cabinet, but the post is a key link between Washington and the nation's financial markets, hedge funds and banks."
White's husband, John W. White, is an SEC veteran, The New York Times notes. "From 2006 through 2008, he was head of the S.E.C.'s division of corporation finance, which oversees public companies' disclosures and reporting," the Times said.

What to do with beet greens and chard?
The only things left in the garden. I tried sauteed chard with garlic and olive oil last week, DH didn't seem thrilled, DS said he'd eat it but didn't care for it, and I didn't even like it that much. It was better in a turkey sausage-white bean-chard soup.
But I pulled all my big woody beets today, have a huge colander full of beet greens I don't know what to do with.
Still chard out there until I get rid of the beet greens.
Depends on what you like. Down south they are commonly canned, just like spinach, collards, turnip greens, and other leafy greens. Nothing like a mess of boiled greens with bacon or ham or sausage and cornbread in the winter.
You can also dehydrate them just as many do with spinach. Then they can be crumbled into all sorts of winter dishes.
Also, I've made this recipe several times, and it's quite good and pretty easy. It's a Mario Batali recipe from the Food Network
Swiss Chard Tart: Pasticcio di Bietole al Forno
2 pounds Swiss chard, washed and spun dry
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 Spanish onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped to yield 1/8 cup
3 large eggs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 cup bread crumbs
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Bring 8 quarts water to a rolling boil and add 2 tablespoons salt.
Roughly chop the Swiss chard, discarding the rough stems. Add the Swiss chard to the boiling water and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
In a 12-inch saucepan, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over a medium flame until hot but not smoking. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until soft and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the Swiss chard and the parsley. Let cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and let cool.
Meanwhile, break the eggs into a small bowl. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add 3 tablespoons of Parmigiano and, using a whisk, mix until the ingredients are well-blended. Add the egg mixture to the cooled Swiss chard and toss to combine.
Using the remaining olive oil to lightly grease a shallow 9-inch round or oval baking dish. Dust the bottom of the baking dish with 1/2 cup bread crumbs. Carefully place the Swiss chard and egg mixture into the pan. Dust with the remaining Parmigiano and then the remaining bread crumbs.
Bake until the top is golden brown, about 1 hour. Serve hot or room temperature.
Thanks - no PC, so I'll try blanching and freezing according to Spinach instructions. I do like beets (but these got away from me) and spinach. I don't know about anyone else in the family. DH is from TX but I don't know if they do greens there like they do in Southeast (or mid-South).
Michele's recipe sounds good - I also have a good spinach quiche recipe (that used frozen spinach and cheese mixture), that sounds similar but uses a crust. DH used to like that, I don't recall if DS ever had it. DD doesn't eat "dinner food" except for plain pasta, a couple ounces of plain baked or grilled meat, and then either fruit or raw baby carrots (I have to plant more, and earlier, next year, she prefers the real baby carrots to the "baby cut carrots" they sell in store).
She swears she likes kale but I think she just used it as an excuse the beginning of the summer - "I'm eating my kale!" to spend 1/2 hr chewing on 1/2 oz of (raw) greens...
She recently discovered she likes scrambled eggs (esp. fresh eggs) so maybe she'll try this?
We belonged to a CSA 6 or 7 years ago. I still have nightmares about the weekly greens we got. Huge bundles of kale and chard and beet greens and turnip greens. I still can't bing myself to eat greens after that experience! So I say chicken food!
Back in the days when I did eat greens, I would saut� them I olive oil with sliced onion, add some diced tomatoes, a splash of balsamic, and a spoonful of brown sugar.
The French make a lovely dish with caramelized onions, chard, eggs and parmesan, sort of like a frittata.
I would take some of the greens, dehydrate them and pulverize in a blender and then you can add the powder to soup stock, spaghetti sauce, whatever for an extra bit of nutrition.
We also use blanched, frozen and chopped greens to add to recipes in the winter, omelettes, dips, a pot of beans, pureed with cream or ricotta or whatever for a pasta sauce, soups, etc.
I love chard. Still have to pick a lot of mine. I blanch and freeze whatever I don't eat fresh, and incorporate it into a lot of my existing recipes - like soup, cheese or chicken enchiladas, scalloped potatoes (got that idea from an Emeril recipe), layered in lasagna, on pizza, in quiche, etc. Funny - I adore chard, but don't care much for beet greens. They taste totally different to me - even though they are related. hmm....
Here is the recipe for the omelette of which I spoke. It originates in the Nice region of France and is called trouchia. This is the recipe I have followed in the past.
Here is a link that might be useful: Chard and onion Omelet, Trouchia
I substitute beet greens for spinach in most recipes calling for spinach.
A really good way to use a large quantity of them is a Spinach/Tomato lasagna based on a Cook's Country recipe 2012 season on PBS. BTW the lasagna tasted heavenly.
If you have room the extra "red" juice from the beet greens (which a 1/2 a cup is added back in the recipe) can be saved for borscht.
I pur�e raw kale (would work with beet greens & chard I'd think) with garlic and add it to the water I cook rice in. If you use chicken stock w this it makes great rice. My toddler loves it.
I freeze extra in muffin tins (1/2 c) and then place in a bigger bag in freezer
I don't care for greens that much so I hide them in lasagna or soup. However, I froze all the Swiss chard I could get to make this wonderful vegetable tart. I make it once a month at least as a side dish but is good as an appetizer too. It takes 2 pounds of chard and when ribs removed and chopped up is about 6 cups before slicing into wide ribbons then cooked for 10 min to soften. You can also make it with other vegetables like squash or turnip greens if you Google erbazonne.
Lidia's Italy is a show on food channels or sometimes on public broadcasting stations and who has authored several wonderful cookbooks. This particular recipe is simple to make, the dough is basic and foolproof. The combination of chard, cheese, ricotta, garlic and eggs is magical and delicious hot or cold. The recipe URL is missing the ricotta - add 1 cup or more with the eggs.
Her dough is here: 2 cups unbleached AP flour, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 cup evoo. Mix it in the food processor adding 1/3 cup or less ice water, knead for a minute or two, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for an hour before rolling out. It is made on a jelly roll pan with the edges free form to wrap over the filling for a couple of inches only.
Now that you've reminded me, I think I'll go make some for Thanksgiving!
Here is a link that might be useful: Erbazzone
I have no guilt about composting the majority of my beet greens. I was very satisfied with a beet green kimchee that I made this summer.
- the chopped greens from 6 beets
- 3 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced
- 2 inch of ginger, peeled and minced
1 large onion finely chopped
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes from dried chicken heart peppers
- salt 1/3 t per pint
- water, as needed for 5 pints total
Let ferment a couple days at room temperature and then refrigerate. I tasted the kimchee each day and decided I liked the product with two days of room temperature fermentation.

Lakers GM Kupchak says trade unlikely
The Lakers reportedly kicked the tires earlier this month on a potential trade for Anthony, the NBA's sixth-leading scorer, although other reports claimed the rumor was nonsense. Another report claimed the Lakers have attempted to trade Artest, whose statistical averages and defensive performances are both near the lowest points of the wild-card forward's career.
After Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol represent the Lakers in Sunday's All-Star game at Staples Center, the Lakers return at home against Atlanta on Tuesday night. Kupchak hopes they won't shake off the embarrassment of losing in Cleveland during their long weekend off.
"A lot of times, maybe it's the way it's supposed to be," Kupchak said. "We have five days to think about it, and maybe that turns out to be a rallying point. ... Let's see where it leads. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom before you can climb up."

People thought George was crazy. They saw him, day after day, walking through the park alone, guffawing and cutting up with.....no one. He talked about everything under the sun, from fishies, to beheaded people, to robots! And yet, no one knew just quite who he was talking to....
...but George knew his friend was there. Was he invisible? Yes. Could only George see his best friend? He supposed so, since most other people looked confused when they spotted George and his friend out together. But George didn't care. He had his friend, and that was all that mattered to him.
Now you have to ask yourself, is George mad for having an invisible friend, or are you mad for being able to see his shadow as well?

Re: Mood Swing-Bipolar depiction
I'm honestly not sure how I felt about the topic…I want to get as much derby practice as possible but I also wanted to do something tasteful and not try to make light of mental illness in anyway.
Anyway, I thought Bipolar as a disease and tried to conceptualize the actual disease and its effects. I used the literal image of a swing to enforce the swinging moods people afflicted with this disease suffer. The "high" (or manic mood) is depicted with the upswing as a happy, well-kept image of a chick….the "low" (or depressed) swing shows the same girl-worn, haggard and disheveled. It is my attempt to show the internal effects of the disease by morphing the outward appearance of the character. The tree is supposed to be a subliminal reinforcement of the perception change of the character in each extreme, on the up end a normal enough looking tree, on the low end more menacing and taunting, almost paranoia-inducing as depression can sometimes be.
Well…at least that's what I was going for anyway…The talent may lack where the ambition tries to venture. Thanks for looking anyway =)

git rm .gitignore
but I got:
fatal: pathspec 'path/.gitignore' did not match any files
I've tried on the remote machine do:
git clean -f
Did nothing and the same
Untracked working tree file error appears.
I've run:
git clean -f -d -x
It removed that file and folders untracked on the remote.
Update: I've change no matter what file to trigger the push option. When pushed, the bare detected changes and has made them.
For some reason yet not clear, a .css file (and perhaps more things) where not taken on that refresh on the remote server, so I change no matter what on that css just to trigger the push, and again, all was clear.
This is obviously the way we SHOULDN'T do it. It apparently is ok. But I cannot tell for sure.

Life-long learning: Inspiring 87-year-old graduatesApril 29, 2008 | Tara Maxwell
For 87-year-old Latance Futch, hearing Pomp and Circumstance playing in her honor in the little country church where she has taught Sunday school for almost 60 years is one of her most cherished moments.
A child of two farmers in northern Louisiana during the Great Depression, Futch recalls the days before reliable refrigeration and electricity. For her, graduating from college was a life-long dream that hadn't been realized until a few years ago.
"When I graduated from high school in 1937, times were so hard," she said. "Daddy said, 'Latance, I'll mortgage the farm and get money for you to go to college,' and I knew enough about making a living that it would be a risky thing if I would go on and get my education and couldn't get a job, so I declined the idea and I went on to get married and raise two girls."
Futch began her college studies in 2002 through Liberty University's Distance Learning Program. At that time, she did all of her course work through mail correspondence. Now LU's Distance Learning is a completely online program with more than 25,000 students.

The Egyptian military council promotes sectarian strife and massacres protestors
north africa | repression / prisoners | feature Thursday October 13, 2011 21:25 by Tamer Mowafy & José Antonio Gutiérrez D.
Last week, a salafist gang was allowed to burn and loot a church in Aswan province for five hours, together with the houses of some Christians. In response, Christians in Cairo, joined by many Muslims, came out to peacefully stage a vigil outside the State TV. The official response was brutal: armoured trucks ran over people wantonly while live ammunition was shot at protestors.The army forcefully shut down TV25 and Al-Hurra for showing live footage of the Maspero street riots, which were moving towards Tahrir. The response of the people, Muslim or Christian, was strong and defiant: they bravely fought with stones and petrol bombs the fury of 1,000 soldiers armed to the teeth (plus their salafist thugs). Instead of falling into the trap of letting the conflict slip into sectarian war, they chanted "Muslims and Christians are one" and "Down with the Field Marshal", in a reference to Tantawi. The result of yesterday's (October 9th) fight was terrible: at least 25 human beings were massacred in cold blood by the SCAF, and over 270 were seriously wounded.

Save Seed - Propagating Bolt Tolerant Varieties?
How can we save seeds or propagate "bolt tolerant" varieties? Will these veggies never flower or is extremely slow in flowering/seeding? Thank you!!
We like the taste of some of these veggies that are bolt tolerant. So we would like to be able to save seeds and grow plants that are similar to, but may not be exactly like, the parents. Thanks!
You can save seeds. There are varieties that are not hybrids that are slow to blot.(I'm not even sure if there are hybrids that are slow to bolt. I only know OP varieties.) Bolt tolerant is not the same as sterile. They will go to seed, just slower than normal.Heat and/or day length can affect a plants biological time clock to produce babies. So varieties that are bolt tolerant are aberrations that are not following the cues to produce seed at the proper time. They could be hybrids, but often it is a plant first noticed by a grower and seeds were saved and then grown out saving seeds of subsequent generations until a stable bolt tolerant variety is made.
So seed of an OP(Open Pollinated) bolt tolerant lettuce lets say can be saved no problem. If it were a hybrid, it is more complex. You would need time and space to make your hybrid an OP. You would save seed. Plant out the seed, rouge out plants that do not behave like you want, save seed, and do it all over again for at least 5 years.
Hope this helps,

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama plans to release a long-awaited executive order aimed at improving the nation's defenses against cyber attacks as early as Wednesday, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The order, drawn up after Congress failed to pass cyber defense legislation last year, is meant to improve the protection of critical industries and infrastructure from cyber intrusions.
Concerns about cyber attacks, which have hit a succession of major U.S. companies and government agencies in recent months, also could be raised by Obama in his annual State of the Union address to Congress on Tuesday evening.
One of the White House's major goals is to improve information-sharing about attacks among private companies, and between companies and the government.
"Our biggest issue right now is getting the private sector to a comfort level so they can report anomalies, malware, incidents within their network" without undue fear of being "outed" as victims, said FBI Executive Assistant Director Richard McFeely, head of the Criminal, Cyber, Response and Services Branch.
The order is expected to give the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) the lead role in protecting critical U.S. infrastructure, according to a government official who had seen a final draft of the order's executive summary.
DHS will be tasked with setting up a system for sharing cyber threats with private industry and be responsible for protecting critical infrastructure, the official said. Most of the critical U.S. infrastructure is run by private industry.
"We know the executive order isn't going to go as far as legislation could or will go, but it's a good start," the official said.
Some Republicans had wanted the Department of Defense to play the lead role instead of DHS.
Cyber security experts say the executive order - which does not have the same force as a law - is a step in the right direction and indicates Obama takes the problem seriously.
"I think this can fairly be described as a down payment on legislation," said Stewart Baker, former National Security Agency general counsel and a past assistant secretary for policy at the Department of Homeland Security.
Stewart said he thought the executive order would make a difference in policy and practical terms "but whether it will provide practical protection from cyber attacks is still in doubt."
The executive order will make it easier for people at private companies to get security clearances so classified information can be shared, according to earlier drafts that were leaked and posted online.
It will also make companies work with the National Institute of Standards and Technology to come up with sector-specific standards for cyber security and will then require companies to engage with their regulators to decide how those standards are implemented.
"Companies aren't going to, at first, be required to do anything. These are voluntary standards, except for a few critical infrastructure companies," said James Lewis, senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
"If you're regulated, the regulator will be able to say, 'Here are some new standards.' If you're not regulated you won't be touched at all." (Reporting By Steve Holland, Deborah Charles and Joseph Menn. Writing by Warren Strobel; Editing by Cynthia Osterman and Todd Eastham)

There is pretty much nothing that will beat the edge to edge quickness of the CX. The response is so lively and instantaneous you'll just laugh as you mach carve your way down. Great pop on both ends. The deck has a great lively flex but it's definitely on the stiffer end of things, so it would be best to stay away if you're in the beginning stages. This deck rarely changes much year-to-year, so pick this one up at a discount and shred it next year.

'And So It Goes': Film Review
The Bottom Line
Romantic comedy for the senior set is formulaic but often funny.
Friday, July 25 (Clarius Entertainment)
Michael Douglas, Diane Keaton, Sterling Jerins, Frances Sternhagen, Frankie Valli, Rob Reiner
Rob Reiner
Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton co-star for the first time in this Rob Reiner romantic comedy.
According to director Rob Reiner, the seed for his new movie, And So It Goes, was planted a few years ago at a press junket for The Bucket List. One of the reporters asked Jack Nicholson what was on his bucket list, and the actor replied, "one more great romance." That inspired Reiner, the producers, and screenwriter Mark Andrus (As Good As It Gets) to build a picture around the idea of a late-in-life love story. With Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton cast as the sixtysomething lovers, the film aims to tap an underserved audience. Box-office prospects seem good, as long as the distributor is willing to be patient and wait for the older crowd to discover the film.
PHOTOS Hollywood's 100 Favorite Films
Oren Little (Douglas) is a cynical, misanthropic realtor who has not quite recovered from his wife's death and his estrangement from his only son. While trying to sell his family home, Oren moves into an apartment complex that he owns and becomes better acquainted with Leah (Keaton), a widow who is hoping to establish a career as a lounge singer. These two irritate each other whenever they meet, but they are forced to seek a rapprochement when Oren's ex-junkie son, who is headed off to jail, drops his daughter on Oren's doorstep. Oren never even knew he had a granddaughter, and he is horrified at the prospect of taking responsibility for her. So he enlists Leah to act as guardian while he tries to make other plans for the child.
Anyone who has doubts about what happens next clearly doesn't get out to see many movies. Will Oren mellow? Will the two sparring partners and the young girl overcome their differences to form a family unit? Is the Pope Catholic? Yet despite the utter predictability of the plot, the picture wins you over. It starts off clumsily but grows more engaging as it continues. This is partly because Andrus and Reiner come up with some genuinely funny bits of business (like a hilarious scene in which Oren is forced to deliver a neighbor's baby), and also because the cast consists of a gang of smooth, seasoned pros.
PHOTOS 'Pulp Fiction,' 'Thelma & Louise' Stars Reunite
Douglas has never been afraid to play abrasive, dislikable characters, and he brings an expert, sardonic edge to his putdowns of the people he encounters. Keaton is equally experienced at playing slightly ditzy but goodhearted women. The two stars click. Sterling Jerins, who plays the granddaughter, also gives the movie a lift. Reiner has directed children many times before (most memorably in Stand By Me), and he encourages them to underplay effectively. Jerins (who played Brad Pitt's daughter in World War Z) is winning because she never begs for the audience's tears.
Reiner has also assembled a fine supporting cast. Veteran Frances Sternhagen is bitingly funny as Oren's no-nonsense real estate partner. Jersey boy Frankie Valli has a neat cameo as a club owner who takes a chance on Keaton's Leah. And Reiner has even given himself a juicy role as a piano player with a bad toupee.

The movie was filmed in some scenic sections of Connecticut, though the imagery never rises above picture-postcard prettiness. Reiner and his team have come up with a sharp selection of songs for Keaton to perform. No one who sees the film will feel it breaks any new ground, but as a cinematic equivalent of comfort food, it goes down easily.
