Question and answer details
|As-salamu `alaykum. I recently have become extremely depressed. Up until 2 weeks ago I was living my carefree life and doing the bare minimum like trying to pray 5 times a day. I also fast during Ramadan and offer zakah. However, I do not wear hijab, recite the Qur'an or really practice Islam. I've had some dreams about death and dying the past 2 weeks. Maybe I've dreamt about them because of what I see in my daily life (a friend's father passing away, neighbors young daughter's death) all very recently. Sometimes, I think it's a sign from Allah (swt). I've become very depressed fearing that if I were to die suddenly tomorrow, I'd go straight to hell. I feel all of a sudden that I've not done enough good deeds. I feel lost and am wallowing in self pity for having wasted my life. I do not know what to do. No amount of praying, or making du`aa's, brings me any comfort. I just feel afraid of what were to happen to me if I died. I feel ashamed to meet my Lord. I do want to change. The past week I've been deciding to go for hijab. Every night I decide I'll start covering and then when the next day arrives, I can't bring myself to do it. I feel like a hypocrite. I feel so afraid. I've realized that life on this earth is not permanent. And I feel that I have no good deeds to show for. I want to do hijab. I want to be a better Muslim. I've not been sleeping well the past week. I've been crying and just being miserable about my level of Iman. I want to please my Lord. Please, guide me. I just moved to Canada. I have no friends or family to speak to. I feel restless and disheartened. Also, I fear that this maybe just a phase of depression I'm going through and tomorrow I'll forget all about it and revert to my carefree life doing the bare minimum. Please, help. Jazak Allah.
|Ahmad Kutty
Wa `alaykum as-salamu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
We also appreciate your feelings that reflect your strong faith, as the true Muslim is required to highly observe his/her faith and beliefs making sure not to excessively estimate his/her state to block the way in front of Satan and prevent him from dragging him or her to self-conceit.
So, your case is not a bad one providing that it does not reach the state of depression.
Responding to your question, Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and an Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, states,
It is natural for a believer to feel anxious for one's own destiny and state in the Hereafter, especially while reflecting upon the transient nature of life as we see people dying all around us.
This is a sign of sound faith. However, one should not allow it to develop into a state of depression. Rather, one should benefit from it by setting goals to achieve stronger faith and practice of Islam.
As for the tips to develop strong faith, I cannot do any better than citing from one of my earlier answers:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Hell is paved by things that are pleasing to the carnal soul, while paradise is paved by those things that hard on the carnal soul." (Al-Bukhari).
Let me, however, list some of the ways of enhancing our faith:
1) As mentioned in a hadith qudsi, in order to increase our iman (faith), we need to be diligent in performing our religious duties, while doing our best to do as much supererogatory acts of worship or virtue that we can.
2) Recite the Qur'an and seek solace, healing and inspiration in the divine speech. Recite it while reflecting on its lessons, and seeking to practice them.
3) Keep the role model of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in front of you and try to emulate his beautiful examples.
4) Seek to purify your soul of its vices and impurities by engaging in introspection; ask yourself whether you are guilty of the things which you abhor in others, and see if you have those qualities which you admire in others.
5) Keep track of the way you spend your time and energy; ask yourself if the efforts you are expending energy are worthwhile when you visualize the spectacle of your own death, when all of your life's work will be played in your mind's screen as if in a movie.
6) Make dhikr (remembrance of Allah) your second habit and keep the company of those who would help you to remember Allah. Avoid friends who would make you heedless of Allah and run away from them as if from a plague.
7) Read and reflect on the hadith and the seerah (biography) of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the life-stories of as-salaf al-ssalih (pious predecessors) reflecting on them for inspiration. If possible, choose the early morning hours to do so. Imam `Abdul-llah Ibn al-Mubarak was asked, "Why don't you entertain visitors in the early morning hours?" He replied, "This is because I choose this time to be in the company of the as-salaf al-ssalih!" They asked, "They are dead a long time ago; so how could you be in their company?" He said, "By reading and reflecting on their life-stories!"
Finally, you need to shun wavering, and decide to wear hijab, solely to please your Lord, and not to please anyone else. As reported by `Aishah, the beloved wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the Prophet said, "Whoever seeks to please Allah, Allah will take care of people for him or her. However, whoever seeks to please people, while displeasing Allah, Allah will abandon him or her to people." (Al-Bayhaqi, Ibn Hibban and Al-Bazzar from `Aisha)
Allah Almighty knows best.

Blake Lively chose to lie low after the end of "Gossip Girl," which makes her next move – launching a lifestyle site – even more of a shock.
But Preserve is now live, and Lively penned the editor's letter for the inaugural week, and it's pretty self-deprecating.
In it, she explains that she is "intimidated" about the site and is "certainly no arbiter of what you should buy, wear, or eat," before stating that she's "hungry for experience."
The actress describes the side as "part magazine, part e-commerce hub, part philanthropic endeavor and above all a place to showcase the power of imagine, ingenuity, quality, and above all, people."
Lively, who is married to Ryan Reynolds, recently opened up about comparisons to Gwyneth Paltrow, who has her own lifestyle site, GOOP.
"I'm always the first person to defend Gwyneth Paltrow. Or any woman in a position of power, like Martha Stewart of Oprah, who gets burned," she told "Vogue." "Because they have paved the path for so many other women who are doing something they believe in."

Milcon Spending Bill to Provide Test for New House Maneuver
- June 8, 2011
- comments:0
The House leadership next week plans to ask the chamber to consider stripping out funding for veterans affairs from the fiscal 2012 military construction spending bill to test the option of splitting some of the federal government's 12 appropriations bills into smaller parts.
Because of widespread support for milcon and veterans programs, lawmakers likely will reject the maneuver, but for House Republicans the vote will be viewed as test run for employing the gambit on more controversial spending measures, reported CQ Today.
For Republicans, the maneuver might allow the House to remove funding for some agencies — those out of favor with fiscal conservatives or the Tea Party, for example — from larger spending measures that include multiple departments. Members would have such an opportunity on the House floor now that members can offer amendments freely on spending bills.
At this point, it is unclear what would happen during a House-Senate conference if the House eliminating spending for a particular agency and failed to introduce a stand-alone bill to fund it, according to CQ.
The answer may not matter, the story pointed out, since disputes over debt reduction and spending cuts may force Congress to rely on an omnibus spending package for many of the year's appropriations bills.

Alison Johnson's oil paintings are some of the most vibrant and seductive we've come across. Her work is landscape-based and she uses colours in jewel-like shades of viridian green, Prussian blue and magenta scarlet to transform the canvas into a veritable cornucopia of colour. Some of these powerful and dramatic pieces of fine art are framed and others are finished canvas. All are statement pieces by an artist who is at the top of her game and whose work is highly desirable and widely collected.

Seacrest Country Day School students learn entrepreneurship
Dan Schmitt believes a revolution is coming.
And he thinks the launching point is in Southwest Florida with a group of high school students he teaches at Seacrest County Day School in East Naples.
For Schmitt, entrepreneurship is the future catalyst for education reform. As a successful entrepreneur himself, Schmitt sold his medical company Advanced Business Fulfillment, to WebMD for $260 million last year.
His next venture is to create an army of next-generation entrepreneurs by giving them the tools for success before they leave high school.
"It's the idea of save the entrepreneur, save the world," Schmitt said.
"Startups are the sole driver of jobs in this country. Big firms in the last 20 years have lost jobs. Invention is at an all-time high, yet investments in startups are at an all-time low, and big surprise, our economy is struggling."
Schmitt's approach to the first-year "experimental entrepreneurship class" at Seacrest, 7100 Davis Blvd., was to break away from textbooks and tests and to instead implement independent and collaborative projects that prepare the students for the real world.
He also brought in entrepreneurial leaders and business CEOs to speak to the class.
"What we've found is that when you get the students involved in real-world experiences, they flourish," Schmitt said.
"So many people think these kids are lost, but they're not, they're bored. That's because we're still trying to cram old-school methods down their throats. It's academic regurgitation like test scoring and lectures. Kids intuitively know that has nothing to do with their future."
Ashton Canada is a sophomore in Schmitt's class. At 16 years old, he's already started his own custom video game controller business called UniqueModz, in which he provides an aftermarket service that refashions the look, feel and functionality of game controllers for the Xbox 360.
"A class like this would benefit anyone looking to be an entrepreneur. Even if you're not a kid," Canada said. "It gives you the tools to either start a business, or if you already have one, ways to improve it."
This year, the students in the class launched two real-world businesses: Seacrest Treasures, which provides marketing and assistance for the Naples Youth Basketball League, and they also designed and executed an outdoor concert for the CityFest 239 Music Festival in May. The students were tasked with calling up bands, negotiating the contracts, marketing, hiring security, staging and paying rent.
The students secured Andy Grammer as the headliner for the show. Grammer released his self-titled debut album in June 2011, and won an MTV O Music Award for most innovative video in January.
"There were a lot of challenges along the way, but once everything was put together, it turned out really nice," said Kristava Raffaldini, who helped manage the concert project.
"There were so many people that came and were so excited to be there. Even people from down the street that heard the music and came over. As a high school entrepreneurship class I think we were able to make a really big mark in Naples."
Of the seven juniors in the class, six said they now plan on starting their own businesses.
"I think what's most important is that this stuff can be applied in the real world," said Donato DiNorcia, a junior at Seacrest. "If you can master the critical thinking skills we learned in this class, you can pretty much do anything."
As part of acquiring the skills needed to launch a business, the students participated in what Schmitt calls the "four buckets" over the course of the yearlong class.
Bucket one was learning the science of the business model, where Schmitt presented the "art of the start."
"I did a study on the Inc. 500," Schmitt said. "These are the fastest-growing companies in the U.S., and none of them followed anything traditional, so I created a model that mimics those companies, and that's what I'm teaching here."
Bucket two was the "Entrepreneurial Journey," where students assessed their weaknesses and strengths.
Bucket three was the speaker's series, in which international, national and local entrepreneurs came to Seacrest to talk. Bucket four was "Real Life Learning," which was the process of creating startups like Seacrest Treasures and the concert for CityFest.
"The experience is a big part of it, and you can't learn that from a textbook," said Nico Moshetto, a Seacrest junior. "The whole class was basically a new concept, we had never really taken anything like it before. What we got was a very interesting experience and we learned a lot."
When a successful business idea is incubated and ultimately fulfilled, copycats naturally emerge, and that's exactly what Schmitt wants to happen with the concept of the class. He hopes to perfect the model at Seacrest and then take it to schools all over the country.
"In the next five years, every school is going to teach entrepreneurship. I'm very confident about that," Schmitt said. "The concern is can public schools adapt quick enough? If they can't, then I will take it exclusively to independent schools and or charter schools because they have more flexibility."
Schmitt points to Harvard University as an example that the concept of entrepreneurial education is already spreading. In 2012-13, Harvard will offer an experimental entrepreneurial class.
"It's good to know we're a year ahead of Harvard," Schmitt said. "Harvard is the No. 1 academic institution in the world, and now that they are adopting it, the flood gates are going to open everywhere."

Small round yellow pill-DAN- 5619
Not medical advice: The small, round, yellow pill with the imprint "DAN 5619" is "Diazepam 5 mg." The full imprint is actually "DAN 5619 5," so when searching for info on it online the "5" must be included at the end.
Diazepam is a sedative and anticonvulsant in the class of drugs known as Benzodiazepines. It's known more commonly by its brand name Valium.
The main usages of Diazepam are to treat anxiety, insomnia, and symptoms of acute alcohol withdrawal. It can be used to treat seizures and seizure disorders, such as epilepsy, but it's considered more of a short-term seizure medication. It's produced by the drug company Hoffmann-La Roche, also known as Roche.

Rome: Kalends of February
There's been too much tension, and with everything way too peachy-keen at the beginning of this episode, you just knew the bottom was going to drop out, and hard. Lucius and Niobe picked out a expanse of land to build their new estate on, and then consumated the soil. Caesar was actually working towards Rome's future. Unfortunately, his ideas of giving every man an equal vote and say were a couple thousand years too early. Caesar's actions frightened those already with power, and they plotted the demise of this "tyrant" and his ways. Both the group and Brutus realized that Brutus himself must be the centerpiece of this coup. Without a Brutus holding the knife, the general public would never approve of the overthrow and turn back on itself, plunging Rome into another civil war.
Servilia, with motives all her own, pressures her son into turning on his friend. The would be overthrowers' biggest concern was Lucius Vorenus, the newly crowned Senator and Caesar's unofficial bodyguard. With his newfound fame for being a badass, Lucius is nigh-untouchable. Servilia, however, knows the chink in his armor; his grandson Vorena, is not his grandson -- he's Niobe's son from an affair. After he is "leaked" this information, Lucius immediately leaves Caesar's side to go confront his wife. Devastated with the fact that her husband knows her horrible secret, Niobe takes her own life. With Lucius gone, the scheming Senators hold Mark Antony outside, leaving Caesar truly alone. Inside, with all of the new representatives watching, the old power kills Caesar.
As I said above, the middle part of this show seemed to slow down for me. The Egyptian episodes just seemed misplaced, and especially now that the show may not be coming back, they seem much more bittersweet. Bittersweet because, although they were great, I'd rather have more of what happened in Rome than those. Everyone in this show did a fantastic job, but I think a few of the standout roles were those who played Titus, Atia and Servilia. The lovable brute, the outright bitch, and the hurt, yet quietly scheming, matriarch. It's funny that looking back, the downfall of this early republic was all because of two femme fatales. Rome, please come back. Let me know what you think.

Accuracy of Multi-organ Ultrasound for the Diagnosis of Pulmonary Embolism (SPES)

- How to Read a Study Record
Patients with suspected Pulmonary Embolism (PE) and a high clinical probability or a high D-dimer level should undergo a second level diagnostic test such as Multidetector Computed Tomography Angiography (MCTPA). Unfortunately MCTPA involves radiation exposure, is expensive, is not feasible in unstable patients and has contraindications. UltraSound (US) is safe and rapidly available even in unstable patients. Many authors evaluated the diagnostic role of Compression Ultrasound Scan (CUS) for detecting limbs Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), TransThoracic Echocardiography (TTE) for detecting Right Ventricular Dysfunction (RVD) or Thoracic UltraSound (TUS) for detecting subpleural infarcts in patients with suspected PE. No previous studies have investigated the diagnostic accuracy of CUS, TTE and TUS combined (multiorgan US) for the diagnosis of PE. This study evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of multiorgan US.
Methods. Consecutive patients that underwent MCTPA in the Emergency Department for clinical suspicion of PE and with a simplified Well's score>4 (PE likely) or with a D-dimer value ≥500ng/ml were enrolled in the study. MCTPA was considered the gold standard for PE diagnosis. A multiorgan US was performed by an emergency physician sonographer before MCTPA. PE was considered echographically present if CUS was positive for DVT or TTE was positive for RVD or at least one pulmonary subpleural infarct was detected with TUS. The accuracy of the single and multiorgan US was calculated.

Welcome to the winter issue of Plymouth Magazine. We hope you find much here of which to be proud.
You will see a preview of the ice arena and welcome center currently under construction, a facility that will make a difference for students, teaching, research, athletics and recreation, and the community and region. It is the first phase of a larger plan to advance regional health and wellness, and it will allow PSU to more closely integrate the departments of health and human performance and of athletics and serve a range of needs, from offering new degree options and bringing our hockey teams home to providing skating programs for children and welcoming visitors to the area.
Other stories as well show PSU students, faculty, and staff making a difference—collaborating on educational programs and projects from the North Country of New Hampshire to Romania and Pakistan and in fields from art to business to environmental studies. There is excellence across PSU's programs.
In October, we welcomed hundreds of alumni and families to campus for a Homecoming and Family Weekend filled with events: a special Evening of Connections dinner with donors and student recipients; soccer, football, and field hockey games; receptions and luncheons; academic presentations; train rides and climbing walls for children; education and alumni excellence award ceremonies; student performances of Oklahoma!; and more.
After Homecoming and Family Weekend, I received a letter from two parents who understood at a fundamental level how those of us on campus feel in having the opportunity to work with such engaged and talented students. The letter closed with this: "Funny how one can take pride in an institution, and in the kids who attend it, after being involved with that institution and those kids for just over a year, isn't it? But that's what PSU has done for us." PSU does that each day for those of us who are privileged to be here. We hope that as you read these pages, you feel the same engagement and pride.
Those of you who are donors will recognize changes in this year's magazine. We are introducing a new Executive Director of University Advancement, Sylvia Bryant, from whom you will hear later in this issue; and as a measure to stretch your contributions further and support our sustainability initiatives, we are honoring our donors online, rather than in print here. Sylvia and I hope to hear from you about your reaction to the latter, and, as always, we thank you for all you do, as donors, advocates, and members of our community. PSU's achievements are in part yours.
Sara Jayne Steen, President

I finally quit my job at the grocery store! I'm over with 2 jobs, over with 7-day work weeks, over with a stupid boss! I'm very happy right now!
I finally quit my job at the grocery store! I'm over with 2 jobs, over with 7-day work weeks, over with a stupid boss! I'm very happy right now!
That's good news Vince, I've done a lot of that kind of crap in my life, and it always feels good when it stops. Now, put all that free time to good use!! ;D
I know how you feel. My worst job was as pianist at Maison du Fifi in Newark. They were ugly, but they got all the tips. Enjoy your idle time. You gotta take the breaks when you can. 8)
That's exactly why I left: I could never take breaks. When I did take one, my boss always said "Why hasn't that been done?" and if you mention you took a break, he will look at you all weird. That's part of the reason why I left. Other than that, There are 12 employees in this grocery: 15 left since I came in. This isn't the same staff than when I came in, so I decided I wanted to leave (plus, the new butcher was really a dork: I hate him)You gotta take the breaks when you can. 8)
I'll miss the tips and the clients, but that's part of the deal.
Well, sorry to hear it didn't work out for you Vince, (I've been in jobs I hate too - it sucks) but you'll soon be on to bigger and better things, I have no doubt.
binary_boy: I'm on an internship full time during the week. 8$/hr, 35 hrs/wk. So I'm not completely broke.
And I realize now, that I should've quit when I first htought about it, about 4 months ago.

Former Purdue associate head coach Jeff Duncan is the new head baseball coach at Kent State.
Former Purdue associate head coach Jeff Duncan is the new head baseball coach at Kent State.
Duncan spent four seasons at Purdue and helped lead the Boilermakers to a school-record 45 wins and Big Ten regular season and tournament titles in 2012. While at Purdue, he served as the hitting, base running and outfield coach and also as the recruiting coordinator.
A former New York Mets player, Duncan replaces Scott Stricklin, who left to become Georgia's head coach. Stricklin guided the Golden Flashes to the College World Series last year.
"Today is the most exciting day of my coaching career," Duncan said. "The opportunity to be the next head coach at Kent State, a storied program with tradition, 21 major leaguers, 12 regional appearances and a trip to Omaha in 2012. The program has great former players, a fantastic alumni base and a great university and community behind it.
"I look forward to replicating and building upon the great program that Scott Stricklin and the coaches before him have built."
Duncan played baseball professionally for nine seasons in the Mets, Padres, Blue Jays and Dodgers organizations. He was a three-time All-Star selection while in the minor leagues.

Sonoma County supervisors on Tuesday approved an offer by winemaker Paul Hobbs to permanently protect 117 wooded acres near Forestville from development, but they insisted the preservation-oriented gift will not sway them if Hobbs attempts to move ahead with a controversial adjacent vineyard project.
Accepting the easement "in no way mandates, requires or ties the board's hands" in any other matter related to Hobbs, said Supervisor Efren Carrillo, who represents the area.
The land will be permanently placed off limits for development under a conservation easement, administered by the Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District. In an unusual move, Hobbs included an endowment of $175,750 to pay for the district's costs in administering the land.
The land is on the same Pocket Canyon-area property where Hobbs cleared 10 acres of timber in 2011 without obtaining the proper county permits. That matter remains under review by county officials and Hobbs has not applied for the permits he would need to convert the cleared land to vineyards, as he apparently intended in the first place.
During Tuesday's meeting, supervisors said they were receiving angry calls and emails from constituents suggesting the conservation easement was somehow intended to influence their decision on the vineyard, should the matter ever come before them. They vigorously denied the two matters were connected.
Nor, said Supervisor Susan Gorin, would rejecting the easement have somehow punished Hobbs for his past conduct.
"If we reject this, it will not save one tree," she said. "The trees have already been cut" on the neighboring 10 acres.
Hobbs has made himself unpopular with neighbors and county officials with several aggressive vineyard projects, including this property and the clearing of 8 acres near Sebastopol, also in 2011. Most recently, in July, county officials ordered him to stop work tearing out a 48-acre orchard in Sebastopol after inspectors found he had illegally cleared bay laurel and blackberry bushes along a creek bed.
Open Space District General Manager Bill Keene said Hobbs was required by the state to donate the easement to comply with his timber harvest permit, issued by Calfire. The deadline to do so was Tuesday.
While the property in question was not on the district's list of land it would have liked to see preserved, Keene described the deal as a "pretty good outcome," particularly considering that Hobbs provided money to pay for administering the land into the future.

Great thread Daniel! Don't know how I missed it first time around.
Thought I'd add one I was working on recently. Shot was made mid-morning, shooting southeast over the lake I believe. Sun was very bright with me shooting directly into it. Made with a 50mm lens covered by a 10 stop reducing ND filter. The scene looked nothing like I envisioned it in my head and I was unsure I could actually pull it off in the darkroom. Certainly not my favorite to print due to all the manipulation it takes, but I was very pleased with the final result. What is it they say about the pain going away on payday?

Coogs fall short in return to third round
ALEDO -- When Mike Spradlin took over the reins of the Cooper football program following the 2005 season, fans hoped that he would help the Cougars return to the playoffs after a two-year absence.
Saturday marked the first time in Spradlin's three years that Cooper was playing on Thanksgiving weekend but the Coogs showed they have work to do if they want to play even later in the season next year.
After making the Class 5A playoffs and getting knocked out in the first round in 2007, the Cougars rebounded with a deep run in their first year as a Class 4A program.
Saturday night's 28-7 loss to Denton Guyer ended the Cougars season with an 8-5 record, but it was nothing short of a sharp turnaround for a talented Cooper squad.
The 2008 season saw Spradlin rely on senior running back A'mon Pimpton and junior quarterback Ryan Heslep.
Pimpton's emergence wasn't that big of a surprise as he ran for 1,513 yards and 19 touchdowns this season.
Heslep, meanwhile, led an offense that averaged over 30 points per game this season and did a good job of directing the offense without turning the ball over.
The signal caller struggled for most of the night against Guyer and finished his junior season with 1,761 yards.
Saturday also marked Cooper return to the third round for the first time since the 2002 season and was the first time since 2000 they won the game.
Despite failing to win the school's first state championship in the school's 49-year history, the Cougars added another chapter to the team's playoff history.

I've heard a lot of good things about Kiang Kee bak kut teh restaurant 强记肉骨茶 located just off Kota Tinggi, along the trunk road between JB and Mersing. So I woke up early one morning to make the more than one hour drive from JB CIQ to Kiang Kee bak kut teh. We set off early because we also heard that Kiang Kee's bak kut teh would often be sold out before . We arrived at Kiang Kee just as the breakfast crowd was leaving, so we got a table easily :)
|The thatched attap roof over our heads. We were at table number 25
When the bak kut teh arrived at the table, the first thing that struck us was the waft of herbal aroma as the steaming hot bubbles bursted furiously on the soup's surface. The pork ribs sticking out from under the piping hot soup's surface looked extremely enticing. We waited in great anticipation for several minutes before the soup simmered down enough for us to start eating.
The pork ribs tasted naturally sweet. The meat was tender yet slightly firm and clung tentatively to the bone. We pulled the meat off the bone easily with our teeth. (This style is unlike other bak kut teh places where the meat is cooked till it is so tender that it literary drops off the bone like a heavy bath robe.)
The dark looking soup was robust, flavourful and not salty. We drank it all up without any salty aftertaste or thirst afterwards.
We also ordered a clay pot of braised pork trotter which we enjoyed tremendously.
The thick, flavourful gravy was naturally sweet and though it looked very dark, the gravy was not overly salty. The trotter skin was soft yet springy. The meat was cooked until every fibre was infused with the delicious gravy, making the meat tender and loaded with flavour.
The secret of Kiang Kee's gravy is in this pot which the boss handles personally.
The other secret is really no secret - it is this battery of hot charcoal stoves that super heat the broth just before serving. Only when an order is made, is the bak kut teh transferred into a clay pot and then individually stewed over charcoal stoves by attentive helpers.
This is the price list at Kiang Kee – openly displayed for all to see.
Whenever I travel this trunk road, I will plan a pit stop at Kiang Kee 强记肉骨茶 for bak kut teh and a pot of hot Chinese tea. Otherwise, if the opportunity does not arise, I will plan a special trip to Kiang Kee just to taste his bak kut teh.

Project limit
So I upgraded thinking I would get more available projects but that is not the case. Why not?
The way I use todoist is for managing clients. Clients as projects. Clients don't go away so clearing projects is not a resonable request.
Anything that can be done?
All responses
Hello Geoff,
Unfortunately, this is a limitation for performance reasons and it can't be lifted.
In your use case, we would recommend to use labels to tag clients. You can have as many labels as you want without limitations and use projects for other sorting, for example - if your work can be managed or sorted by time, you could create a new project for all work related to the new month. Once all cases that originated in a certain month are done you can archive this project and archived projects don't count toward the limit.
Alternatively, if each client requires the same process, you could even create just one task or task structure for each client and then, instead of checking it off step-by-step - move the client's task from the project related to one step to the next projects until everything's done. Accessing projects would show you all clients who are at the certain step.
There are many ways of managing tasks efficiently without ever hitting this limitation, it all depends on your specific workflow.
Best regards,

The Ghost Finders are back. The intrepid agents of the Carnacki Institute are up to their eyeballs in spooktacular mayhem once again. Team leader JC Chance (no longer human after being touched by a Higher Power), technology expert Melody Chambers (always with the best toys) and the notoriously unstable telepath Happy Jack Palmer (trying to kick his prodigious drug habits) tackle a bizarre pair of cases in the third book of the series.
First, the trio handles an incident involving a haunted train station, welcoming back a train that's over a century late and carrying a passenger list made of up the doomed and the damned. What exactly is the secret of the Ghost Caller, and how did it inspire its creator to do the unspeakably appalling deeds that he did? And what does it mean that at long last, the Bradleigh Halt station is seeing traffic once more?
Then it's off to the theatre, when the Ghost Finders are dispatched to the Haybarn Theatre in Leicester. Long disused, the building was undergoing renovations until work was halted courtesy of weird events and one guy literally scared to death. Now, actors are a superstitious lot, and theatres are notorious for being haunted, so what makes this case different? The answer may lie in the past…or perhaps it's connected to the theatre's newest owners. But as JC, Melody, and Happy Jack poke and prod, they run into more questions than answers. Who's behind the latest spate of hauntings? The aging actors looking for one last hurrah? The spoiled young film ingénue, looking for another kind of acting credit? The ancient caretaker who comes and goes as he pleases? One thing's for certain: someone…or something…is playing the role of a lifetime. And beyond.
While I greatly enjoy this series, it still hasn't grown on me the way the Hawk & Fisher, Nightside, or Deathstalker books did. There's just something about Green's tone and approach to this series that reads as slightly different. Less personal, less involved, less epic. Sure, the Ghost Finders books fit into the same general urban fantasy setting as the Nightside, and they even mimic the episodic-with-a-larger arc that made that series so much fun, but I still don't feel the same connect to JC, Happy Jack, or Melody that I have with so many of Green's other characters. And I can't put my finger on it, exactly. It's as tough Green has either stripped away a layer of emotional depth, or added an extra degree of remove.
Still, it's a fun series. Green, as always, has that knack of conjuring up the right words, phrases, and triggers to convey all the dark and naughty and dangerous images you could ever want, conveying horror both physical and spiritual, without sinking into the Gothic abyss so many horror writers use.
If I was to sum it up, I'd say that his work is…accessible. Less involved. He relies on images and unconscious prompts, rather than flowery language and intense experiences. He's telling ghost stories here, about spectral locomotives and haunted theatres, about ghostly actors and long-dead madmen, revenge plots and otherworldly menaces, and he's spinning out these yarns around the metaphorical campfire and preparing you for the inevitable gotcha "And the killer with the hook was on the other end of the phone, calling from within the house, RIGHT BEHIND YOU ALL ALONG!"
Witness a passage like: "The footsteps grew even louder, and heavier, as they drew nearer, slamming down with more-than-human weight and an inhuman sense of purpose. The stage itself seemed to shake and shudder with every step as though in anticipation. As thought it was frightened." Evocative, yet nothing terribly special, but pushing the all the right buttons, as though Green has mastered the art of the literary short-cut.
And through it you, you have the ever-resourceful characters as they crack wise against the oncoming darkness, kicking ass and taking names.
This is, of course, my long-winded way of saying that Ghost of a Dream is pretty much exactly what you'd expect from a Simon R. Green book. While the outward details and trappings may change, they generally come in two varieties: relatively short and epically long. This, in the same mold as the Nightside books is comparatively shorter. The first storyline has only a little connection to the second, for all that it takes up a third of the book. Clearly, Green's just having some fun, working out stories at different lengths before packaging them together as a reasonably-sized paperback. Together, they advance the major series plot by a few ticks, touching upon JC's continued changes, his ghostly girlfriend Kim's unexplained disappearance, the enemies who have infiltrated the Carnacki Institute, and the greater threats from Beyond. It's enough to feel like progress without resolving anything important.
As a Theatre major, once upon a time, I appreciated the spotlight upon the time-honored tradition of ghosts in the theatre, and I loved some of the revelations and how it all came together. A job well done, worthy of a curtain call.
In the end, I must confess that while I really liked this book — as I do all of Green's work— I wasn't overwhelmed. I fear that I've become too familiar with his work, to the point where it registers as comfortable, rather than challenging. Pick this up if you're a fan, or if you just need a quick, entertaining read, and maybe turn an extra light on if you're reading it late at night.

Jen's Zen email@example.com
I have recently opened at Austin Fitness Clinic in lovely Hyde Park, Austin, Tx.
I am so pleased to be working with such an amazing team of Wellness Healers and will be sharing space with the wonderful acupuncturist Jennifer Steng.
Our team also includes:
Wonderful Full Body Waxing by Channing Jackson
Transformational Healing and Reiki by Izzy Swanson
Sensational Hatha and Yin Yoga by Liz Long
Austin Fitness Clinic: 4111 Marathon Blvd. #110 near 42nd and Lamar
Please call for an appointment 512-644-2375
My name is Jennifer Coombe and I am a licensed Esthetician, Massage Therapist and Colon Hydrotherapist.
I have worked in the healing arts for 25 years as a certified nursing assistant, nanny, birthing assistant, massage therapist and esthetician.
I graduated from the University of Seattle in 2007 with a B.A. in Comparative History of Ideas and spent a year teaching English in Prague, CZ which was a wonderful experience and provided incredible insight to an entirely different cultural perspective. When I returned home I became certified as a nursing assistant and took care of many wonderful clients nearing the end of life in their homes.
Working as a live-in caregiver in the domestic sphere both as a nanny and then later in nursing gave me a strong sense of compassion and intimacy. In 2000 I completed my training as a D.O.U.L.A. at the wonderful Seattle Midwifery Center, which is now part of Bastyr University, and worked with new Mom's pre and post birth as well as providing indelible support during the birthing experience.
In 2008 I moved to San Diego and discovered colonic cleansing in Encinitas, CA from my mentor Rebecca Enders from Inner Bliss Rejuvenation Center and started on my own personal path of detoxification, juicing and whole foods nutrition. It changed my health dramatically and I became passionate about helping others achieve the glow and beauty that comes from vibrant health.
I completed both my esthetics and massage training her in Austin at Avenue Five Institute and A New Beginning School of Massage. I had always loved the spa experience and getting facials was my favorite treat. Bodywork (healing touch) had always been an important part of my work in all phases of care giving and wholistic health care.
I began formulating my idea for a Healing Spa Oasis in 2010 and I am sure it will be a transformative project throughout the rest of my career. Jen's Zen Den is a compassionate space of healing, pampering, detoxifying, sharing and gaining support for your personal journey towards your vibrant best. I am also available for bodywork or facial treatments in your home, birthing space, location or event.
I look forward to supporting you on your journey!
Thank You
Jennifer Coombe

Larabar Peanut Butter Cookie Bar are smooth, moist and chewy; you'll swear you're eating a cookie just out of the oven. The simple 3-ingredient recipe of peanuts, dates and salt provides 7 grams of protein in the form of a moist and chewy natural treat. Peanuts, one of the few food sources of Vitamin D, also contribute more than 30 essential nutrients and phytonutrients, such as protein, Vitamin E, magnesium, phosphorus and manganese. Dates and salt impart a sweet, savory flavor, along with Vitamin E and 16 essential vitamins, minerals and electrolytes. Each bar also provides 3 grams of heart-healthy Omega-6 fatty acids. Larabar is a delicious blend of unsweetened fruits, nuts and spices - energy in its purest form. Made from 100% whole food, each flavor contains no more than eight ingredients. Pure and simple, just as nature intended. Sweet with no added sweeteners. Sustaining with no added fillers, supplements or flavorings. Larabar is what your body needs - real, whole food loaded with nature's own minerals and vitamins. All of the vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein, good carbohydrates and healthy fats are derived exclusively from the whole food used to make Larabar. Larabar Questions & Answers What is unique about Larabar? Larabar is a delicious blend of unsweetened fruits, nuts and spices. Made from whole food, each flavor contains no more than nine ingredients. Pure and simple, just as nature intended. What are the quality standards for Larabar ingredients? Gluten free Dairy free* Soy free* All natural Vegan* Kosher Fair Trade Certified cocoa and coffee No added sugars or sweeteners* Non-GMO No added sulfites No preservatives, fillers, or colorings *Does not include the Chocolate Chip varieties. Chocolate chip flavors are made with a simple, 4-ingredient chocolate chip that consists of Fair Trade Certified chocolate, sugar, cocoa butter and vanilla. While no dairy is used to make their chocolate chips, they are made on a line that also produces chocolate chips made with dairy and soy. Due to possible cross-contact, the chips they use may contain trace amounts of dairy or soy from other chips made at the facility; thus they cannot claim these products as Dairy Free, Soy Free or Vegan. Is Larabar unprocessed? Larabar is made by a simple process in which fruit, nuts, and spices are ground and mixed together. They are not baked or cooked. They use simple ingredients, as close to their natural state as possible. Does Larabar have added vitamins, minerals, or supplements? No. Larabar only contains the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients inherent in the simple, natural ingredients they use – the way nature created them. What is the shelf life of a Larabar? The shelf life for each bar is 12 months. They use a multi-layer package that keeps out UV light which, in turn, maintains freshness without the use of preservatives. The "best by" date may be found printed on the back panel of the wrapper (on the underside of the flap that runs lengthwise down the back of the bar) as well as on the back panel of the caddie box (contains 16 bars). How much fruit does a Larabar provide? Each Larabar flavor offers at least a ¼ cup of fruit. Tropical Fruit Tart, Apple Pie, and Cherry Pie each offer a ½ cup of fruit in each full-size bar. Why doesn't the packaging for the chocolate chip varieties feature the dairy free, soy free, or vegan claims? Though the vast majority of chocolate chips in the world are made with dairy, soy or both, they specifically asked their supplier to provide us with chocolate chips that are Vegan (containing no dairy). While no dairy or soy is used to make their chocolate chips, they are made on a line that also produces chocolate chips made with dairy and soy. Due to possible cross contact between types of chocolate chips made at the facility, the chips they use may contain trace amounts of dairy or soy from those other chips, thus they cannot claim these chocolate chip flavors are Dairy Free, Soy Free or Vegan. Why are the chocolate chip flavor varieties classified as kosher diary? Their chocolate chip flavors are classified as Kosher Dairy (symbolized by the "U" within a circle, followed by a "D") because the chocolate chip ingredient is produced in a facility that also produces chocolate containing dairy. Is there added sugar in Larabar? There is no sugar added to the core line of Larabar. The claim "No Added Sugar" appears next to the nutrition panel. The exception to this is the chocolate chip flavors (Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chip Brownie, and Chocolate Chip Cherry Torte), which contain added sugar in the actual chocolate chips. Do the chocolate chip flavor varieties contain sugar? If so, what kind? Yes. The simple, 4-ingredient chocolate chips in their chocolate chip varieties contain cane sugar. Where does the cocoa in Larabar come from? The cocoa used in Larabar is sourced from farmers who are Fair Trade Certified by Fair Trade USA. The organization's mission is to "Enable sustainable development and community empowerment by cultivating a more equitable global trade model that benefits farmers, workers, consumers, industry and earth." For more information, visit Fair Trade USA. What is extra virgin coconut oil? Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is a tropical oil that is extracted using a cold-pressed method from fresh coconuts. Where do the juice concentrates and flavorings used in lemon bar, tropcial fruit tart, key lime pie, and blueberry muffin come from? The citrus juice concentrates that they use are made from pure citrus juice and pulp, which is flash pasteurized to ensure it is safe to consume. The citrus flavors they use are made from a cold press process during which the fruit skin yields pure essential oil. Their blueberry concentrate is extracted from blueberries through the use of a natural enzyme process. The concentrate is pasteurized. How much caffeine is in Larabar Cappuccino? Larabar Cappuccino contains approxmately 8.5 milligrams of caffeine per bar. By comparison, a cup of decaf coffee = 2 to 4mg, a cup of decaf tea = 2 to 9mg. A regular cup of coffee = 65 to 150mg, a regular cup of tea = 20 to 90mg. (1 cup = 6oz.) Where does the fat in Larabar come from? The fat in Larabar comes from nuts and, in some cases, coconut or chocolate. Why isn't there more protein in Larabar? Each bar contains between 3-6 grams of protein. To provide more protein in their bars, they'd have to add ingredients like soy protein isolates. Why mess with a good thing? If it's protein you're after, check out ALT! ALT is the first-ever bar with added protein from Larabar! They recognize that many people are looking for a bar with added protein—so they created a snack that tastes delicious and indulgent. Will a Larabar freeze or melt? If placed in the freezer or outside in cold temperatures, Larabar bars will become firmer, but will not freeze. Similarly, Larabar bars (with the exception of the flavors containing chocolate chips) will not melt when heated. Is the Larabar wrapper recyclable? All of their Larabar wrappers are able to be recycled through their partnership with Terracycle. The Larabar caddies/display boxes are made of 100% Recycled Paperboard and made using 100% Wind Energy. About Larabar It started out as just a hike, no different than countless others she had taken into the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Little did she know she was about to come up with a mountain of an idea: Combine wholesome ingredients such as fruits and nuts to create a food product that's tasty, healthy and convenient. In that instant, in May 2000, LÄRABAR was born. At LÄRABAR, they believe that the foundation of a sound mind, body and spirit is derived from what you eat. And what you eat is most delicious and satisfying when it's in a whole, natural state.
