Seriously, There's Good News For Ohio Voters
For voting rights activists, the news coming out of Ohio hasn't been promising—the secretary of state has limited early voting hours and a state law stopped all voting the three days before Election Day. Both decisions have a disproportionate impact on poor and nonwhite voters, who vote in particularly heavy numbers during the early period.
But Monday brought some good news for vote defenders in the Buckeye State. In 2008, around 14,000 voters had their ballots thrown out because they cast provisional ballots in the wrong precinct. Often, it was a poll worker who had made the error, but it was the voter who was punished. But thanks to an injunction granted by a U.S. district judge Monday, that measure will not be in effect in the 2012 elections.
The Service Employees International Union brought the suit, represented by lawyers from the Advancement Project, a voting rights group that's been involved in several of the voter ID challenges around the country. The plaintiffs argued the provision violated the equal protections guarantee and infringed on the right to vote.
Provisional ballots—paper ballots for voters unsure about their eligibility to vote—have gained prominence as voting restrictions leave fewer voters able to cast a standard ballot. The ballot does not get counted until the voter is shown to be eligible. Ohio has among the largest numbers of provisional ballots cast in the country; in 2008, more than 200,000 voters could not cast a standard vote. Around 14,000 of those ballots were rejected because they'd been cast in the wrong precinct. While 14,000 isn't likely enough to swing the outcome of a presidential race, state races can be decided by a margin in that range.
It's easy to cast a ballot in the wrong precinct if you live in an urban county. There's been a dramatic increase in the number of multi-precinct polling places—where one church or school serves as the polling place for several precincts. In such a case, it's almost never the voter's fault if they wind up voting in the wrong precinct. Poll workers direct voters to stand in one line or another and, once arriving at the front, a poll worker determines whether the voter is in the right place. The poll worker is supposed to direct them to the right place, however, there are also problems, like a printing error, that can lead to a voter's name not being on the rolls. If the poll workers hand a voter a provisional ballot for the wrong precinct, the voter does what they're told.
"There's no way they'd be casting a wrong precinct ballot unless the poll worker let it happen," says Denise Lieberman, an attorney with the Advancement Project. She notes that poll workers are rarely trained in this area; this issue is not even in the state poll worker manuals. "It's simply not fair to throw somebody's vote due to a technical mistake that was not theirs," says Wendy Weiser, the head of the Democracy Project at the Brennan Center. (The Brennan Center is not part of the lawsuit.)
Lieberman calls it a case of "right church, wrong pew." In Cuyahoga County, where Cleveland is located, 94 percent of precincts are in multi-precinct polling locations. In Butler County it's 95 percent and in Montgomery County, it's 88 percent. That means urban voters stand a much higher risk of losing their vote to poll worker error.
The Ohio Secretary of State's office argued the issue did not constitute a severe burden on the right to vote because there aren't many not many affected voters in the aggregate. However, U.S. District Judge Algenon Marbley ruled that in an equal protection challenge, the court must examine the "law's particular burden on the individuals whose voting-rights are allegedly violated by it." In short, "for each of the potentially thousands of voters whose wrong-precinct ballots are disqualified under this provision of the election code due to poll-worker error, Ohio's strict prohibition imposes a severe burden on their right to vote—i.e. summary, arbitrary, and irreversible rejection of their entire ballot without notice."
The decision will likely be appealed to the Sixth Circuit Court and may go before the Supreme Court before all is said and done. Voting rights groups still have multiple fronts to fight in Ohio—over the length of early voting hours, voting in the last three days before the election, etc.—but this news was exciting nonetheless. As Weiser says, "Nobody wants to go through all the trouble to fulfill their civic duty in voting and not have their vote count."

Don't understand how someone could vote in the wrong precinct unless voter ID is not required. When you walk up to vote, you show them your ID so that they can prove that you are not trying to cheat then they look your name up in the book (all voting places have roll books) If your name is not in the book then you are not registered. If you aren't registered then you don't vote. There are resons for that! If you are in the wrong precinct, (were you too dumb to check that ahead of time) then get in your car and go vote where you are supposed to. Conservatives don't cheat the vote. Liberals do. That is just a fact. Voting is easy people. Learn how to do it.

Were you not paying ATTENTION? This is NOT referring to the voter who knows he should vote at First Baptist on Main Street going to the Second Methodist on Third Avenue due to negligence or fraudulent intent; and voter ID would have NO EFFECT on the situation described! This is a case of a voter SHOWING his ID if it is required, or if not, HONESTLY giving his address; the poll worker verifying the voter's address; and THEN, because (for example) First Baptist is ALSO the polling place that used to be on Third Avenue, DIRECTING the voter to the INCORRECT line, and NOT CORRECTING the voter before the vote is cast! in other words, the negligence (or malice, POSSIBLY) is on the part of the POLL WORKER, NOT THE VOTER! And why are conservatives too virtuous to cheat? The FACTUAL RECORD shows that they ARE the primary cheaters, going back to Jim Crow days. And the majority of liberals are in fact to virtuous to cheat; THAT is why they have been LOSING so often lately, because they have NOT been cheating. We know how to vote, thank you, and we resent both the patronizing attitude and the intentional denial of this right! Oh, I know, this is liberal bias. As Stephen Colbert once complained, "Reality has a well known liberal bias."

Good post, ThinkingDem. I am always amazed, and more that a little disheartened, by the need of so many Conservative-leaning commenters to insert a non-factual "fact" denigrating Liberals in every post. It is disheartening because it tells me that the possibility of meaningful discourse with such persons is precluded by virtue of their adherence to nonsensical cliches having no basis in fact or truth.

Not only that, it appears that their analysis of the story is limited to catching a few keywords, as a search engine might do, not reading and UNDERSTANDING the entire story. Either they are products of an educational system that does not have the BUDGET to teach them to read, or maybe these trolls ARE search engines looking for key words: found "voting" and "suppression" in text, insert canned message 35. More likely the former; if they read War and Peace, their review would be "it's about Russia!" Most of them would not be able to pay close enough attention to a programming course to generate a search engine to insert canned replies. Besides, programming requires understanding of REALITY.

What's Right with Our Schools?
SLU professor's innovative research disproves seven myths about St. Louis high schools
|James Gilsinan, Ph.D.
ST. LOUIS -- Stories about underperforming high schools, self-absorbed youth and overpaid, undeserving teachers are not difficult to find in the media, but a collaboration between Focus St. Louis's Youth Leadership Program (YLSL) and Saint Louis University's E. Desmond Lee Professor in Collaborative Regional Education, James Gilsinan, Ph.D., has challenged those assumptions.
Last September, YLSL and Gilsinan trained 160 high school students representing 24 schools in the St. Louis Metropolitan Region in participatory action research, a process in which people join together and systematically develop knowledge for action and change. Students were charged with the task of gathering stories that illustrated what was right with their schools.
Participating students were instructed in a variety of action research techniques to accomplish the goals of the study. Techniques included document research, participant observation, interviewing, focus groups and debriefing exercises.
The collection of stories compiled allowed students to describe in their own voices what makes their school special. The results revealed seven current myths regarding education in St. Louis. Those myths include:
- Teachers care more about their economic well-being than about educating their students.
- Today's high school students have little interest in the world beyond themselves.
- High school is boring and does not excite a love of learning in students.
- High school students are not interested in learning or setting challenging goals for themselves
- American classrooms are too insulated from world affairs.
- Even if they wanted to, today's high school teachers and students have little chance to exercise creativity and critical thinking.
- Today's students lack a sense of responsibility for carrying on the traditions of their institutions.
The student accounts from the study, which narrated the lived experience of students in a variety of high school settings, portrayed a much different educational landscape than the mythical assertions offered by many "experts", media pundits and elected officials.
"Stories, even if distorted, have a way of shaping reality. Negative stories about people or institutions lead to negative judgments about their effectiveness, which lead to the withdrawal of support both moral and financial," said Gilsinan. "By shattering these myths, we hope that the student stories help change the conversation around education in a positive direction that will lead to opportunities for teachers and students to exchange best practices."
Having a call to action is at the core of Gilsinan's role as a Des Lee Professor, who are part of the Des Lee Collaborative Vision (DLCV), an organization that links educational, cultural and social service institutions. Working together, the institutions enhance education, create opportunities for disadvantaged people and improve the quality of life throughout the St. Louis area.

The primary cause for the motor to go bad is water intrusion into the motor housing.
If you are decently handy with tools you can do this yourself, saving a TON of money from the dealer.
This How-To will also be available on my website in PDF format. http://www.shipkiller.com
Screw drivers (Flathead and Phillips)
Metric Sockets and Wrench's.
Metric Allen Wrench's
Razor Blades or equivalent.
Flashlights or Drop lights
Parts Needed: (Refer to Drawing: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do ... g=54&fg=10)
Use your VIN number to for the most up to date drawing and part numbers from RealOEM................
Some Tie-Wraps or tape.
A new motor. No. ONE on the drawing.........There are different P/N's for different years.
A new Sound Isolation. No. Eight on the drawing.........This is the protective case/housing that the motor reside in. The existing case has sound isolation foam in it. The foam is waterlogged, very dirty/rusty and will take days to properly dry out.
Go ahead, spend the extra money and just replace it......Do you really want to do this AGAIN?
A tube of RTV. This is used in case you want to SEAL the motor housing so you do not have to do this again......
Like I said in the Soft Top removal How-To, take pictures of the motor wiring and hydraulic lines for reassembly....
A picture of the motor that is SUPPOSED to be attached to the top. I had a busted mount. And later on, after my first drive, I discovered that was the cause of the squeak in my left ear while driving....
Remove the mount from the top frame and note (Take a picture) of the wiring and hydraulic line placement.
Remove the tape and tie-wraps from the cables and hoses.
Now remove the housing cover.
Housing cover removed. You can already see the corrosion.
As extra insurance, before I pulled the motor out, I labeled the hydraulic lines. 3,4,5,6. and then after the motor was out of the housing, labeled the old housing the same way. Just to be sure.
Pull out the motor. The damn thing is soaked....
The old housing. It shows my labels, and labels from BMW. 11,12,13,14 and W for the wire. Later on I found that the hydraulic lines are also labeled if you look . Can't be too careful......
When you look at the new motor, you will see a circuit board inside...
Remove the electrical connectors and clean them up. Use Q-Tips, Pipe Cleaners, what ever.. I removed the boots and cleaned them up also.
Note very carefully which way and what terminals they go on. If you put them on backward, the top will operate in reverse and you will have to remove the soft top and redo.
The black assembly is the Bowden Cable. It is the manual top release. Remove the assembly, noting the position.
Looking at the motor, the brass button on the bottom is the actual hydraulic by-pass plunger or spool.
I now used a Dremel Tool to clean up the hydraulic fittings. This is not just a anal move. Hydraulics REQUIRE cleanliness...
If you are to do this properly, you should replace the copper sealing washers, but I just plain forgot to order them..
I think they come in the 'Hydraulic Repair Kit'. Number nine in the RealOEM drawing.
http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do ... g=54&fg=10
Now I transfer the hydraulic lines a set at a time. The new pump is labeled with the BMW line numbers. 11,12,13,14. But transferring them as a set, you can't screw it up. Do this quickly to reduce the amount of oil loss from the line.
I put the dust screws from the new pump back into the old pump. I plan on draining the oil and saving it. It does not appear to be contaminated.
Replace the Bowden Cable assembly.
The new motor housing. Nice, clean and DRY.
Notice some oil will leak during the hydraulic line transfer.
Reattach the electrical leads, wipe up any oil on the motor and place in the new housing.
Doing a test fit.
Here's ware the RTV comes in, if you use it.
I placed RTV all along the housing seam and in and around the wire and piping penetrations, then put the cover on then put more RTV on the outside seam. Sealing it up.
Four hours after doing all this, I had a nagging feeling about the electrical wire positions so I took it all apart. It was not hard even with all that RTV..... The wiring was correct....
Sealed it back up..
Now using the pictures I took, and remounted the unit to the frame making sure all the cables and hydraulic lines were running properly, additionally putting tie-wraps where needed.
Now you are done....

lots of brown rot, insect damage, suture bulge, used 8 fruit, acidic, good taste, nectarine
Plant Patent #9908 (May 28, 1991) of Zaiger Genetics, Modesto, CA. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree; its novelty consists of the following unique combination of outstanding features that are desirable in a new variety: 1. Fruit with excellent flavor and eating quality. 2. Fruit with a high degree of attractive red skin color. 3. The ability of the fruit to stay firm on the tree 8 to 10 days after maturity (shipping ripe). 4. Fruit with firm white flesh with good handling and shipping quality. 5. Heavy and regular production of fruit. 6. Vigorous, upright growth of the tree. The fruit is further characterized by having good handling and shipping quality, having an attractive red skin color and, in comparison to Arctic Rose Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,889), the new variety has greater production of larger size fruit, a higher degree of attractive red skin color and is approximately 8 days later in maturity. The present new variety of nectarine tree was originated by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., as a first generation seedling from a cross between two selected seedlings with field identification numbers 38EB371 and 23K46. The maternal parent, field identification number 38EB371, originated from a cross of two selected seedlings. One originating from a nectarine of unknown parentage crossed with Redwing Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 621), the other from an open pollinated O'Henry Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,964) seedling. The paternal parent, field identification number 23K46, also originated from a cross of two selected seedlings, one originating from Golden Supreme Peach (non-patented) crossed with May Grand Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,794), the other originated from a nectarine of unknown parentage crossed with Autumn Grand Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,894). We grew and maintained a large group of these first generation seedlings under close and careful observation, during which time the present variety exhibited the distinctive and desirable characteristics described above and was selected for asexual reproduction and commercialization.
The description of each variety of peach or nectarine fruit under each group is in different formats as this information is collected from varied sources and hence is not consistent

Workington soldier Carl marches in his family's footsteps
Last updated at 07:54, Friday, 04 May 2012
A Workington soldier, who has the army in his blood, is preparing for his first deployment to Afghanistan in October.
Kingsman Carl Pettit, 17, has followed his father and his grandparents' footsteps into the army.
Carl, a former Lakes College student, is now on pre-deployment training with the 1st Battalion The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment.
He said: "I am excited about going to Afghanistan but nervous as well.
"It is a dangerous world but it is what I signed up for, and with all my training I feel prepared.
"My family are all supporting me and they are all proud.
"My dad told me about what it was like in the army and it sounded like you are doing something different every day."
Kingsman Pettit was awarded the Soldier's Soldier prize at his passing out ceremony after completing a Combat Infantryman's Course at Catterick, Yorkshire.
His father Stephen, 38, of Gray Street, served in the army from 1996 to 2003 in Cyprus, Germany, the Falklands and Bosnia. He was medically discharged with a neck injury.
He said: "I think it is in his blood and he has always wanted to do it.
"All the family are very supportive of him and very proud and we were chuffed to bits when he got the award.
"Obviously there are dangers with him going to Afghanistan but I have told him what to expect and it is what he wants to do."
Carl risked his life for others when he was 10-years-old. He saved his two-year-old brother Nathan from a fire in the kitchen of his family's Scottish holiday home.
After being woken by a smoke alarm in the early hours, Carl ran under the flames to rescue his brother and was commended by fire officers for his bravery.

Join me here May 3, noon-1pm Eastern time, to talk live about what we do to make our lives awesome. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
Colleen Steen
Mar 1 2012: Hi again Neil:>)
- +16
I don't have to "make" my life awesome. I simply notice the awesomeness all around me. There is SO much to be grateful for that we sometimes fail to recognize and acknowledge....simple things that are sometimes taken for granted.
Washing dishes means I have food to eat...doing laundry means I have cloths to put on my back...cleaning the house means I HAVE a house...getting out of bed in the morning means I CAN get out of bed...connecting here on TED means I have a computer, which provides the opportunity to connect with the world...I'm sitting here drinking a warm, delicious cup of coffee, with my home warmed with wood, friends have provided for me....these are all gifts that many people in our world do not have...we can go on.....and on.....and on......if we want to......it's a choice to observe the awesomeness in our lives......or not:>)

Jul 25 2012: Dear Paul,
That is SO sweet! I would be truly honored to be your TED mom:>)Jul 25 2012: Colleen, Great answer. I have great concerns for people who try to "MAKE" their lives awsome. The core of that is "ME". The final result of that is, look at me I am awsome.
Sounds like Neil is asking TED to write a book in his name so he can become awsome. Now there is an idea worth spreading. LOL
Jul 25 2012: Hi Robert,
Good point from you......as usual!
Recognizing an awsome life, can indeed lead to the concept of "I am awesome".....or not:>) In my perception, it depends on how we use the information.
For me, a very big part of recognizing "awesome" in my life, is to be grateful for all that I have. We see lots of conversations right here on TED, where folks are searching for happiness, contentment, passion, life path, etc. etc.
Sometimes (all the time in my humble perception), all it takes is recognizing what we DO have in our lives, and that serves as a catalyst for the next step.
One thing that is awesome today, is that I started out the day with a lovely message from Paul Ashton (above), which totally touched my heart:>) Then I went for a lovely bike ride with my buddies...by the lake....AWESOME day:>) Now I get to connect with you my friend Bob.....more awesome!!!

Jun 24 2011: LOVE makes life awesome. Love being given and shared generously: making other people laugh, bringing them joy, helping them, filling their needs, listening to their hearts, relying on them, sharing deep feelings and thoughts, taking risks by getting out of the box in the way you express love, making sure that you loose face instead of keeping your ground. It is true attention, devotion and appreciation for who they are. It is seeing the beauty and supporting the true heart of the other person. It is closeness, togetherness, cooperation, serviceful-ness and care.
- +8
EGO destroys love and life. It makes you be self-protective, afraid to express love, thinking about how you are going to look. It will push you to think bad thoughts and do the things that are hurtful, blame others and be ashamed. It is concerned about what you are going to get and what you age going to lose. If you allow yourself to love, it will think what benefits you will reap from loving someone. It makes you overly attached, reactive, prideful, insecure, distrusting, defensive, offensive, greedy, lazy, closed-minded and closed-hearted.
Given the above, what makes life awesome is embracing love and getting rid of ego. There is no other way to be truly happy. All the other ways to deal with boredom, lack of energy, depression, dissatisfaction and unfulfillment are bound to fail. They are designed by ego and its desire to get what it selfishly wants. It is not the way. A person gets involved in various therapies trying to avoid pain or indulges in various forms of consumption in the pursuit of pleasure, but it is just making things worse. Within, the heart is still aching. Without loving and being loved, it will never be satisfied.
Jul 1 2011: Hello there Eva, Love indeed conquers all but as we look at the world today, the power of love seems to be the forgotten solution. Is it because many people does not know what true love is?
We have to the power to be amazing within our own lives but wouldn't it more amazing if apply our amazing powers to right our world and make it an amazing global home? http://Bit.Ly/KeyPower

Jul 5 2011: Hi Joe!

Nice to see your post. Usually people don't respond to the words about love and ego. It probably is to intimidating to them.
I think you are right. Most of the people don't have enough discernment about what is of love and what is of ego, AND they have a lot of ideas about love. They mistake love with smiley face, and consoling collusion that says "it is all good" about the ego in the other. They associate love with hurt, not seeing clearly enough that it was ego which was hurtful in their relationships. Love would not do harm to their heart. Love would care for the true heart and soul of the other, that can live only in truth.
Nowadays the noble teaching "Love thy neighbor as thyself" got replaced with "You have to love yourself first". Every sane person would feel offended by someone putting "loving oneself" before loving YOU. "Loving oneself first" doesn't have anything to do with real love. It is an idea that keeps people from loving for real.
The second paragraph of your post I cannot relate to. It sounds like a slogan for a political campaign, designed just to advertise your blog.
I looked into your blog though, and I liked that you wish to be a friend to everyone. I am up for that. I would be a friend to you, if you wish. Just write me an email, and we can talk more.
Jul 6 2011: Dear friend Eva! the link is my description of what real love is and it is the premise of my blog that love is the key in transforming our world, similar to what you noted that love makes our life awesome. I do wish to discuss the concept of ego as the reason for our weaknesses, hence the reason also for making our life unamzing. How would you relate it in my description of real love? (If you wish or if you have a long answer, you can send me your reply on my email in my blog)

I read your blog. I appreciate your good intentions there. And I wrote you a response with what I think needs revision.Mar 1 2012: Beautiful Eva, your text deserves a fancy frame to be read by everybody that has a question about why the world is as it is and what can be done about this.May 3 2011: I make hats for Chemo patients. The conversations we have about life, love, death and living in the moment make my life awesome.
May 3 2011: Elina that is totally awesome! My mom is a cancer survivor. Those little things, such as a handmade cozy hat, can make all the difference-thank you for your awesome!
May 4 2011: I'm so grateful and lucky I get to do this every day. The people I've met and worked with have changed how I look at life.May 3 2011: I think giving your time so generously is awesome.May 5 2011: Wow! That's something else...the little things we never think about...

I laugh with my children and I defend the helpless. I plant a garden and I hunt game. I listen to Metallica and I lose myself in Vivaldi. I learn, not just skills or formulas, I learn emotion. I live through my senses. I seek inspiration. I welcome awe. I try to be human and am eternally grateful for the opportunity.

Hence being reminded why you just bought a plane ticket to Canada yesterday and reaffirming that you did the right thing and it's going to be an awesome tour. (It was worries about whether I did the right thing buying the ticket that woke me up in the first place).

May 3 2011: That's a good discovery. Here in Austin we have a "zero waste" policy. I like to apply that to my things. I'd rather have someone using the stuff that is just collecting dust rather than holding on to the items for possible use. The more a person puts back into the stream of use the more you see come your way. It's the basic principle of sharing. Knowing that is pretty awesomeMay 3 2011: A friend of mine once told me he can put everything he has in a suitcase, minus the guitar. It sparked in me that notion, its quite interesting trying to achieve it.
May 3 2011: I made an experiment last month, decided not to reuse any piece of clothing until my closet was empty (underwear aside, of course). I lasted 3 weeks and still the closet was not completely empty!! We women have the closet full of "I have nothing to wear". I decided to stop that.May 3 2011: I like to sing to my cat. It makes his day and mine way more awesome. Sometimes he even joins me
May 3 2011: Singing is Awesome!
May 3 2011: Agreed. Especially in the shower when the acoustics make you sound that much better.
May 3 2011: It is hereby concluded that singing in the shower with your cat is awesome.

During the week that means enjoying seeing the sun in the morning, a little walk to work, plopping down on the couch in front of the TV, cooking dinner, a baseball game (which has all the awesome rhythms of patient contemplation and instant thrill in itself), and crawling in to bed. Along with really appreciating the people you see everyday - I think that'll get you there.May 3 2011: "what do you do to make your life sustainably awesome.... " Change the way you look at each event. Say you have a car accident. You can get annoyed and angry at yourself or you can go "Well, what did i learn from this? At least no-one was hurt.

Are you guilty of this?
May 3 2011: Great question Brock!

It's so funny -- there was just a big article about this up in Canada last week: http://www2.macleans.ca/2011/04/19/this-story-is-awesome/
For me, words are what you make 'em. At the end of our short, fragile, delicate lives I know we'll probably smile and look back at the high highs of our lives -- father-daughter dances at weddings, healthy baby screeches in the delivery room, and wide eyes on graduation stages.
But! And here's the but! That will maybe add up to like what -- 5, 10 days total?
I think there's a LOT more awesome than that.
I say awesome includes wearing warm underwear from out of the dryer, waking up before your alarm clock and realizing there's an hour left to sleep, and fixing electronics by smacking them.
Brock Barber
May 3 2011: Maybe it's ok to use "awesome" for everything if you sit back and realize how truly awesome everything isMay 3 2011: Hey everyone! Sitting with Will and Corvida at TED HQ in New York right now. To kick us off, what do YOU do to make your life awesome?!

- Preheat the oven to fan 180C/ conventional 200C/gas 6. Dry fry the seeds briefly in a small pan over a medium heat until toasty – don't let them burn. Grind coarsely using a pestle and mortar (or a bowl and the end of a rolling pin), then mix in the paprika, cinnamon, 1⁄2 tsp salt and 4 tbsp oil. Tip the squash into a roasting tin, pour over the spiced oil and toss. Roast for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsp of oil in a frying pan, add the shallots and cook, stirring, until they start to brown. Stir in the ginger and 100g/4oz each almonds and pistachios.When brown, toss in the cranberries, 2 tbsp honey, and the spinach so it wilts. Take off the heat and stir into the squash, when it comes out of the oven. Set aside.
- In a food processor, whizz the chickpeas with the garlic, cumin, remaining oil, lemon juice, 2 tbsp water and salt and pepper to make houmous. Stir in the coriander.
- Melt the butter in a small pan. Put a loose-bottomed 28cm quiche tin on a baking sheet and brush with some butter. Keeping the filo covered with a damp cloth so it doesn't dry out, lay one sheet over half of the tin so that it hangs over the edge by about 10cm. Lay another sheet on the other side, so it overlaps the first in the centre and hangs over the opposite edge. Brush with butter. Lay two more filo sheets in the opposite direction in the same way and brush with more butter.
- Build up two more layers in this way, so you use a total of eight sheets of filo. Pile half the squash mixture in the centre of the pastry. Spread over the houmous and then the rest of the squash mixture.One at a time, bring the edge of each filo sheet up to the centre to cover the filling, creating voluptuous folds as you go. Brush carefully with more butter. (If making a day ahead, cover now with cling film and chill. To reheat, remove the pie from the fridge, heat the oven, then bake for 35-40 minutes.)
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until crisp and golden. Just before the pie is ready, reheat any remaining butter in the pan, tip in the rest of the nuts and fry until golden. Spoon in the 4 remaining tbsps of honey and, when it melts, take off the heat and pour over the pie. Serve with Harissa yogurt sauce (mix the yogurt and milk together to make a thin sauce, stir in the herbs and season. Swirl in harissa to taste) and lemon wedges.

Comments, questions and tips
This is lovely. I made two with the ingredients and put it into 2 smaller flan dishes as I didn't have the right sized tin. I replaced the almonds with cashews and added some smoked paprika. Extra mint and less harissa made the sauce better for me. Bewarre though - it does take AGES! But was delicious.
I have used this as a veggie main for dinner parties, and as the herbivore's option for Christmas dinner - can also easily be made vegan by subbing the honey for maple syrup, and choosing vegan pastry. I think I will try adding some chilli next time, as some heat might be nice, but this always goes down a treat as is.
I made this for friends yesterday and the raves continue coming. It took longer than I had planned but well worth the effort and had great presentation. I'm sure the prep time will be shortened now I know the steps involved. I was a little short on squash so added some sweet potato. Worked well. But I won't be preheating my oven so early on as stated in the instructions. In my case, that would have been a day and a half earlier.
I made this a couple of Xmas's ago and it was devoured with amazing compliments, so am making again this year. I found the process to be easy to follow, (it is good to know that it can be done earlier though). It looks fantastic on the plate and I am hungry just thinking of it now!
I see quite a few others are asking as to what everyone is serving with it - would be interested to hear from others, as I need to mix up a bit this year - meat/fish/vege options with sides etc that "go together" (if possible).
Earlier on in the year, I was looking for a vegetarian celebration dish for a special occasion. Found this, and gave it a go. It is the best Vegetarian recipe I have ever tried ! It is delicious, went down a treat with vegetarians and non-veggies too !
Am making it for again as a Christmas alternative alongside the Turkey.
One of my most favourite recipes ever !

Facelift ideas wanted to improve Workington riverside area
Last updated at 20:03, Thursday, 07 June 2012
Workington's "drab" northern entrance is in line for a major facelift, after leading councillor Barbara Cannon announced ambitions to create a modern gateway into the town.
The deputy leader of Allerdale council revealed plans to transform a piece of forgotten land next to Workington Reds' Borough Park football stadium.
It is hoped that this would link in with the new Northside road bridge, due to open later this year, and a new look Borough Park.
Coun Cannon said the proposed upgrade was a 14-year itch that she now planned to scratch.
She said: "The northern route into Workington has looked drab for far too long, and we need to give it a facelift.
"With the new bridge coming along, and Workington Reds' plans for a new stand, the area is improving and it's important we carry that through to the finer details.
"Everywhere around the northern area of town is being cleaned up, but there is still work to be done. That is why I want to improve the land next to Borough Park."
Coun Cannon said she hoped the transformation would draw a line under the tragedy that the town has endured, but insisted it was vital that the brave work carried out by PC Bill Barker when he died during the 2009 floods was never forgotten.
She added: "It is desperately sad what happened to PC Barker, and we will never forget his bravery, but there is no reason why that end of town should only be remembered for that awful moment.
"We need to look to the future as much as remembering the past.
"Right now there are no specific plans for the land, and I am open to suggestions. It could be landscaping ideas, or development proposals, or whatever the people of Workington believe this space should be used for."
Coun Cannon hopes that people will want to create an idyllic riverside walk area, which would be eye-catching as visitors enter Workington through Northside.
Work on the new Northside Bridge is well under way with the central beams lifted into place, reconnecting two sides of the River Derwent.
It is expected to be open fully this autumn.
Workington Reds are still in talks with Allerdale council regarding their Borough Park lease.
Once that is sorted, the club can then look to secure funding to build a new £1.5 million grandstand which will span the entire length of the west side of the ground.
The 1,200-capacity stand would become a hub of club activity to generate more cash.

Have your say
I'd say making Workington look much nicer is more important and and easier task than raising employment Gary.
If you make an area more appealing then that may very well attract more business to the area. Plus, it's all very well mocking the art installations around town (I know that's the cool thing to do) but compared to how the town looked before the redevelopment it's a massive improvement.
You could make a nice park on the site of the old dog track. All it would take would be some inspirational imagination followed by some major landscaping. Dam the Derwent below the bridge and create a large boating lake and leisure area with picnic area and a pub.Then we knock down the abattoir west of the new bridge and landscape that whole area too.

To the person who had problems with AOL: I carry the support cell phone for my university's website part-time, and we have discovered over the years that there are lots of problems using AOL's browser to access others' web pages. AOL's proprietary software does all kinds of funky things behind the scenes that may mess up what the web page is trying to do. The solution we offer to our users is to use AOL to make the connection to the Internet, but then use another browser to do your web surfing. That appears to be the solution you worked out for yourself. Firefox is what we recommend, but Internet Explorer is fine for many things, as are Safari, Opera, Mosaic, and the other browsers.
This tech moment was brought to you by the letters "B" and "U." ;-)

I'd second the recommendation you made: drop Explorer and go to Firefox - it's great (although I don't use its "tab" system).

The College of Humanities and Sciences seeks to attract and support graduate students of the highest caliber and to prepare them, through research and instruction, to meet local and national needs for highly trained men and women. Recognizing that financial limitations may inhibit some qualified students from applying, the college attempts to inform students of the options of various loans, grants and work-study opportunities that are available to them as well as assist them in financing their education by offering various forms of financial aid and facilitating the process of seeking financial assistance from external sources. Additionally, the college believes that the experience of being a teaching or research assistant reinforces the learning that takes place in the classroom. The value of teaching assistants also is recognized as being beneficial to the college's undergraduate programs.
Types of financial aid that are available to graduate students fall into three basic categories: aid that does not have to be repaid (grants, scholarships and tuition waivers), aid that does have to be repaid (loans) and aid that enables students to earn a portion of their school costs (work-study, graduate teaching assistantships and graduate research assistantships).
Offers of financial aid are based on financial need and/or skill and competency. Financial need is determined by information contained in the Federal Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) completed by the student. Not all financial aid is based on financial need.

Graduate teaching assistantships and graduate research assistantships are forms of financial aid that provide teaching and research positions for graduate students within their field of study. These are not loans and do not have to be repaid because the student is actually earning income for services rendered. Usually graduate assistants must work the equivalent of 20 hours per week. Assistantships are awarded to students who have demonstrated academic excellence. Individual departments award the assistantships, which usually include payment of tuition; the teaching and/or research duties of graduate assistants vary among departments. Graduate students interested in seeking these teaching and research positions are advised to contact the departments to which they will apply for admission.
Graduate students applying for financial assistance should remember the following tips:
Students should assume they are eligible, not ineligible.

Spring is here and it's time to redecorate the garden. This year, why not decorate the backyard with a different theme? Instead of putting out the usual selection of angel statues and garden gnomes, try decorating the backyard with a couple of dragons. They don't have to replace the rest of your decor, but by putting a dragon statue on display, you show your appreciation for the fantasy genre while giving the garden a unique, dramatic touch.
Get your backyard ready for the warm days of spring and summer with dragon sculptures like Ranier, the Sculptural Dragon Rainspout. Put this Medieval-themed functional dragon sculpture on the end of a gutter to help channel water away from the house. This impressive dragon statue is designed to look as if Ranier is breathing fire every time it rains.
To help turn your backyard into a place of enchantment, put Dragon-Orb sculptures on display such as Mayze, the Dragon Protector of the Orb and Sir Sagremor's Dragon Statue with Orb. Mayze shows that the fantasy genre is that much more magical when humor is thrown into the mix. Poor Mayze seems to be more interested in taking a nap on top of the orb rather than ferociously protecting it and thus makes for one of the most adorable little dragon statues you will ever see. Sir Sagremor's dragon isn't exactly cute but he makes up for it with realistic, eye-catching details.

The mission of the Shenandoah Room is to acquire, record, preserve and provide access to information about life in Shenandoah County, Virginia.
The Shenandoah Room & Truban Archives acquires, identifies, collects, preserves, catalogs and provides access to family, business, governmental and private papers, maps, books and other ephemera concerning past and present events occurring in Shenandoah County. These letters, books and records are available for study within the Shenandoah Room.
Due to budget cuts at the County level, the Library Board voted not to fund the Archivist position in FY11. As soon as funding is restored, the County Library will begin a search for an Archivist.
In the meantime the Shenandoah Room will be a self-help facility. It was always envisioned as a largely self-help facility, for the staff must spend much of their time processing and cataloging the materials that the Library is actively collecting during this critical period where so many baby-boomers are closing their parents' estates and downsizing themselves.
We ask your patience and understanding during this transition period. The library staff will make every effort to let you know what we have, get you oriented about where things are, and help you get started. Otherwise, expect to be on your own unless there happens to be a volunteer on duty to assist visitors. We trust the information in these pages will helpful.
The Shenandoah Room is located at the Shenandoah County Library in Edinburg, VA. The Shenandoah Room is open during regular library hours.
Due to the concerns for the security of the collections, the Shenandoah Room will not be open when there are only two staff on duty in the building on evenings and Saturdays. Materials in the Archives are only open when the Director, Assistant Director, or Adult Services Librarian is free to locate requested materials. Should you need access to items in the Truban Archives, we recommend that you make an appointment.
In 2003, the Mid-Atlantic Germanic Society (MAGS) entrusted their collection of over 1,000 books, publications, newsletters and periodicals to the Shenandoah County Library. A national organization, MAGS started in 1982 to stimulate and facilitate research on Germanic genealogy and heritage in the mid-Atlantic region. The MAGS library book list is available at: http://www.magsgen.com/library/booklist.html.

SBA South Florida District Motivates Entrepreneurs at Franchise Expo To Think Small Business Ownership
MIAMI – U.S. Small Business Administration South Florida District joined organizers and more than 200 franchise representatives to motivate thousands of entrepreneurs exploring the possibilities of small business ownership at the Franchise Expo South held in the Miami Beach Convention Center, Jan. 11-13.
Sponsored by the International Franchise Association (IFA), approximately 10,000 people attended the expo which was estimated to be 3000 more attendees from last year.
SBA South Florida District Deputy Director Jonel Hein joined IFA Vice President Development and Member Services Scott Lehr in welcoming the first entrepreneurs at opening ceremonies. Holding the oversize scissors in both hands, Hein cut the traditional ribbon to signal the start of the expo.
"The SBA South Florida District offices are here to help start new business and create jobs," said Hein. "Franchises are an excellent opportunity for entrepreneurs to start their own business. Having worked closely with bank lenders, it's easier to gain access to capital to start a franchise business than a start-up."
According to SBA South Florida District, the office approved 603 loans, representing 250 different franchise brands totaling more than $323.3 million during the past five years.
"During the worse months of the economic crisis, entrepreneurs were able to access SBA guaranteed loans for franchises," said Hein.
Women, minority and veteran entrepreneurs had the opportunity to learn about what SBA could do to turn their business dreams into a reality in a seminar co-hosted by the district's outreach specialist, Althea Harris. Harris was one of more than a dozen featured speakers who led seminar discussions on franchise and small business ownership. While SBA provided options for entrepreneurs to gain access to capital, Harris stressed the importance of presenting a strong business plan to officials at SBA-approved banks.
"You need to learn how to think like a lender when you go into a bank to ask for money. Learn how to read numbers and understand cash flow when writing your business plan," explained Harris. "SBA has resource partners in SCORE and Small Business Development Centers nearby that can help. You can also find online videos that can teach you on the SBA.Gov website. You can't go into the bank without knowing the numbers in your business plan."
Of all the business represented at this year's expo, nearly half were part of IFA's "VetFran" program that provides incentives to military veterans who pursue ownership in a franchise.
"Since November 2011, we had 64,000 new veterans in franchising and major hiring initiatives are expected this year," said Lehr. ""There are over 540 VetFran member companies offering veteran owners major discounts and incentives."
SBA South Florida district public affairs and Navy veteran James Brooks explained SBA veteran resources and the Patriot Express Loan during a seminar segment targeted specifically for veteran entrepreneurs.
"Whether you are inspired today to start a franchise or perhaps be inspired by these companies to open your own small business, the SBA can help you. Our south Florida district approved almost 950 loans to veterans for almost $231.5 million in the last five years. Assistance is there to help you succeed."
More information for south Florida entrepreneurs can be found online at www.sba.gov/fl/south.
