Freekeh, (aka frik, fireek, firik)
Posted 19 June 2008 - 05:48 PM
I've done a little research on eG and found some information about the grain itself, but not a lot of clear recipe suggestions.
So does anyone out there make any nice savory dishes with this grain? Recipes please.

After smoking, Freek kernels remain green in color and have a smokey aroma that becomes more pronounced as it cooks.
In Lebanon the only dish made with this grain is called Freek. And can be made with Chicken, Lamb or Beef.
My favorite is with Lamb but the procedure is the same for Chicken or other meats.
Make a stock using meaty Lamb bones. Cover the bones with water and add:
3 kernels of Cardamom (optional)
1 Cinnamon stick
1 Bay leaf
3 Cloves
Skim and simmer (tasting the stock and correcting the seasoning) until the meat on the bones is falling off.
Remove bones and meat. Pull or shred the latter and set aside.
In a small pot, melt 2 T of butter and add 1 cup of Freek (serves two). Stir to coat all the kernels with butter, sauté for one minute. Add enough hot stock to cover by ~ 1/2 inch, bring to a boil, turn heat to low, cover and let simmer.
Check kernels for tenderness and add more stock if needed.
In the end you want the consistency of Risotto.
Add the cooked meat, taste for salt and cook few more minutes.

ChefCrash, do you rinse your freek before cooking?
And I'm wondering in under which regional specialization I'd be most likely to find this? Lebanese? Egyptian? We have scads of (for lack of a more useful term) "Middle Eastern" grocers here in Amsterdam, but 90% of them are of Moroccan or Turkish origin....

Fabulous Freekeh
2 cups whole freekeh (as opposed to cracked)
5 cups water
1 tsp salt
1 tsp olive oil
Bring all to a boil, cover tightly, and simmer for 45-50 minutes, or until all water is absorbed. Remove from heat and leave covered for 5-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
This produces a drier grain than what ChefCrash shows in his delicious-looking recipe above.

Last night I sauteed a shallot in some schmaltz, browned a cup of freekeh in with it, covered with some chicken stock, a bit of salt and pepper and in 30 minutes or so had an extremely tasty dish. It was still a tiny bit soupy, and I put it over rice. Amazing! Smokey, savoury goodness all the way.

Freekah is used by Egyptians but also by the Arabs in Israel and Palestine. Lebanese and Jordanians are also fond of it. I am not sure about the Turks.
Wow, that sounds (and looks) amazing, right up my proverbial alley.

green wheat that has been burnt to remove the tough outer covering creating a smoky flavored grain.
My question is, what kind of wheat is used to make farik- spelt or duram?
Second, why is the wheat burnt in the first place? Why isn't it left to mature and picked when the grain is dry?
These are the answers and ideas I received so far:
Burning releases nutrients which would not otherwise be bioavailable
Burning kills the parasites on the grain and enables long term storage
It is an easy way to remove the tough outer husk.
Any ideas?
Posted 15 April 2010 - 12:33 AM
the reason it is subjected to burning, or any form of high heat is that deactivates the enzymes that turn the proteins in the green wheat into starch in mature wheat. the nutritional profile of freekeh is much higher in protein/lower in starch.
the long term storage issue isnt solved by the burning, you then need to dry the grain to enable it to be shelf stable, otherwise it would rot. the green wheat is typically harvested at a miosture content of about 35%. Burning only reduces that to about 28% or so. you then need to dry it to get it below the 12% or thereabouts that make it shelf stable or about the same moisture content of wheat that has been left to mature on the stalk.
the burning also produces a smoky flavor, and releases the chaff from the husk. it also makes removing the grain from the stalk easier, since most threshers would just gum up on the wet green wheat.
as for the reason this is done instead of waiting for the wheat to mature and dry on the stalk? well basically it produces a different food from mature wheat, much as wheatgrass, and sprouts are different foods from mature grains. many grains and legumes are eaten in both their green and mature forms in the middle east. as a matter of fact, its currently the season for one of my favorites, green chickpeas!!
hope the answer is useful
Posted 27 April 2010 - 01:29 AM
have a lower glycemic index and be better for those with diabetes. (However, proteins do not turn into starch).
fresh chickpeas are in season here as well, very yummy roasted with salt

I just bought some freekeh. Do you cook it like rice or like cracked wheat? Do you cook it in water or soak it or steam it?
This is how we cook it.
Posted 23 October 2010 - 03:30 PM
Freekah is used by Egyptians but also by the Arabs in Israel and Palestine. Lebanese and Jordanians are also fond of it. I am not sure about the Turks.
Yep, it's used here too, and called "firik," and best known in the Antep and Hatay regions. I'm ashamed to say I've never tried it! :( Here's a picture of it cooked (similar to Chef Crash's picture)

Very slow backup rate from vSphere Hosts to Media Server
We have recently upgraded from Backup Exec 2010 R2 to 2012. After the upgrade we found that the backups of our VMs from our ESXi 4.1 hosts to the local disk on our media server are running at about 180MB/M.However backups of files in a VM with the backupexec agent installed are backed up at over 1200MB/M. Also backups from a physical server to the media server are in excess of 2000MB/M.
A few things to note about our current enviornment.
- All hosts are running ESXi 4.1
- All hosts are connected to shared storage at 10Gbps
- All hosts are connected to a shared switch at 1Gbps
- The media server is on a dedicated server and is connected to the same switch as the Hosts
Any idea of what may be causing this really slow speed? I have been speaking to the symantec support staff but its been going no where.

have you tried playing with the registry keys mentioned in this technote. See if this helps (this is applicable for BE 2010 and 2012)
Have you also tried disabling the read write buffers to see what is the job rate you get.
You can also test a backup using SAN/NBD (ensure to take a non GRT backup with BE coz VCBMounter will do a vmdk backup) using VCBMOUNTER.exe (its a part of VCB). VCBMounter is a part of VCB and is provided by vmware. When you test the backup with this and compare it with BE you would know if BE is the culprit or there is something in the environment that is causing the slowness.

Deliberations resume in Arizona temple slayings trial
PHOENIX — Deliberations are set to resume in the third trial of a man
charged with killing nine people at a suburban Phoenix Buddhist temple in 1991.
Johnathan A. Doody was found guilty in 1993 and sentenced to 281 years in
prison. An appeals court threw out his conviction in 2011, ruling that
investigators improperly obtained his confession.
His second trial ended in a mistrial in October after jurors deadlocked.
Doody's third trial began Dec. 4.
Jurors got the case on Jan. 13. They resume deliberations Tuesday morning.
Authorities said Doody and an accomplice robbed the temple before killing
witnesses, including six monks. Doody has maintained his innocence.
The accomplice is serving life in prison in a deal that spared him the death
penalty. He has testified against Doody at all three trials.

Anger at 30 per cent cut to direct rail link
Posted: July 17, 2012|
The Government is considering slashing direct rail services between Cornwall and London by one-third, it emerged last night.
There is anger ministers are looking to cut London Paddington to Penzance trains from nine to six each day under the new Great Western franchise agreement.
Details were revealed as it was confirmed the far South West will not get a penny from £9.4 billion lavished on the railways, announced by the Government yesterday.
Fears were heightened after Transport Secretary Justine Greening did not rule out cuts to the Penzance service when questioned in the Commons.
Conservative leader of Cornwall Council, Alec Robertson, said: "This would be a serious setback for Cornwall's economy. Reducing the number of inter-city services will mean a third-class rail system in Cornwall and we need to fight to ensure that this does not happen."
Liberal Democrat MP for St Ives Andrew George has secured an emergency meeting with Transport Minister Theresa Villiers today.
He said: "With seriously overcrowded trains, over-inflation ticket increases and other service cuts, the Government should be enhancing the Penzance to Paddington service rather than cutting it."
The Government will shortly invite four short-listed firms to bid to run trains on the Great Western line based on a specification drawn up by the Department for Transport (DfT). The new operator will take charge of services throughout the south of England and Wales, for 15 years, from April.
But officials at Cornwall Council have been told by DfT civil servants they can expect to lose three daily inter-city services to the capital.
It could also mean a loss of services in Devon if the links are axed entirely and not just halted at Exeter or Plymouth, for example.
During months of talks, the local authority asked for a 30-minute service between Penzance and Exeter to be included in the franchise specification. At present, the service has a gap of up to one-and-half hours.
The council was willing to sacrifice direct links to the capital in return for the regular half-hourly service to the east of Devon. The move would have increased the number of trains stopping at stations en route and also allow London commuters to change at Exeter and Plymouth more frequently.
DfT officials have rejected the swap. But they do want to take advantage of scaling back the inter-city services to Cornwall to make the franchise more financially attractive.
Services in the rural Westcountry are vulnerable compared to more profitable Great Western commuter trains in the Home Counties. The deal works by firms paying the Government to run the franchise and pocketing fares in return.
Cornwall's hopes now rest on an eleventh hour U-turn from the minister.
In the Commons chamber yesterday, Mr George questioned Ms Greening about whether investment elsewhere in the country was "built on the back of cuts to the service to Penzance". The minister responded: "No final decisions have been made."
Many are particularly angry as Ms Villiers told MPs in the Commons in December that whoever took over the franchise would be expected to provide at least what train firm First Great Western does at the moment. "Our starting point in setting the specification for the franchise will be the current level of service," the minister said.
Details of a possible reduced Cornish service came after the Government announced a £9.4 billion package of rail projects.
Amid claims by David Cameron that it represented the "biggest modernisation of our railways since the Victorian era", plans include the electrification of the Midland Main Line.
On the Great Western line, electric rail will be taken beyond Cardiff to Swansea, and the Welsh Valley lines will also be electrified.
But the far South West will get nothing and will hope to be handed down second-hand trains to replace ageing diesels the region relies on.
A new £500 million rail link between the Great Western line at Slough, Berkshire, and Heathrow – confirmed yesterday – will reduce journey times between the region and the airport. But critics say this is scant consolation.
Labour MP for Exeter Ben Bradshaw said: "The Government seems to think the Westcountry ends at Bristol.
"We desperately need electrification of the main line down to Exeter and the further South West if we're not to miss out on the benefits of modernising our railways will bring."
Lib Dem peer and Cornwall councillor Lord Robin Teverson, who first raised the alarm on proposed rail cuts, described yesterday's rail investment announcement as an "insult to Cornwall".
He said: "Cornwall has invested more in its own rail network than any other local authority. Our reward? A reduction in the quality of services under the next franchise.
"South Wales now has its electrification plans all the way to Swansea. We only get as far as Reading – some 200 miles short of the Tamar."
Chris Pomfret, chairman of the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Local Enterprise Partnership, set up by the Government to create jobs in the region, said: "A reduced rail service will be seen as a body blow to growth for a region that has the lowest income per head in England."

European Parliament votes to reduce usage of lightweight plastic bags
April 25, 2014 | Michael Ravenscroft
Members of the European Parliament (MEP) have voted in favor of halving the consumption of lightweight plastic bags by 2017, and reducing it by 80% by 2019 compared with 2010 levels. The legislation approved by MEPs during the April plenary session foresees a mandatory charging for carrier bags in the food sector and a recommendation to charge for bags in the non-food sector. Charges could be reduced for bags that are biodegradable and compostable. Lightweight bags used to wrap loose food should gradually be replaced by biodegradable and compostable bags by 2019...

When Alec sees men forcing a tremendously beautiful black stallion onto the ship he is on, his curiosity is aroused. After feeding the horse sugar and gaining the horses trust, Alec is saved during a storm by the "black"". This is the exciting story of how Alec and the Black survived on a desert island. Other books about the black stallion are also available from Bookshare.org. This file should make an excellent embossed braille copy.

As the holidays get closer I realize the dreaded fact that Winter too is coming. Since I am not a winter type of person I find I must find ways to entertain myself during these short days and periods without work to be done. I have been looking into entertaining my gaming ways with online bingo. This is a fun way to have fun while wasting time in between work and events with children.
Playing bingo online brings back the memories of my sister and I at a young age with our little bingo board game, yelling out letters with numbers until one of us reached "BINGO". I loved playing board games with my family way back in the younger years, from probably age 12 and younger. Now I no longer have to pull out a bingo board game and find people to enjoy the game with me, because I have online bingo games at my finger tips right in my home office. Bingo is an exciting way to get your heart pumping and mind occupied for a moment, sometimes playing a quick online game is all you need to get back into the swing of reality with a clear head.

The Forest Service has historically been dominated by foresters and engineers, so a wildlife biologist who joined the agency in 1978 wouldn't expect to advance very far. But after getting a Ph.D. in wildlife ecology from the University of California at Berkeley, Hal Salwasser went to work for the Forest Service and quickly moved up within the agency.
In the 1980s, just a few years after he began working for the Forest Service, he was the agency's deputy national director of wildlife and fisheries. In 1990, Forest Service Chief Dale Robertson was searching for a way out of the environmental controversies that beset the agency and asked Salwasser to run what Robertson called the "New Perspectives" program. Salwasser made an earnest effort to find new ways of managing the national forests. In one sense, the program was a dead end, but in another sense it contributed to major changes including an 80 percent reduction in timber sales.
Salwasser then left the agency for a short time to become the Boone & Crockett Professor at the University of Montana. In this chair, Salwasser not only taught students but hunted and fished with the 100 wealthy members of this exclusive club. "Am I having fun, or what?" he enthused.

They still sell sneakers? I thought they went out with station wagons.
Of course they still sell sneakers. They have any type you can imagine, including Keds and Converse. Things didn't end 30 years ago. In fact, many things got better.
What? You dont recall Lucky Bucks?
We still use sneakers and we have two station wagons.

JUST started planning my daughter's Garden Birthday Party. This will come in HANDY! Thanks Collin for all you do!
I have ordered from them several times and have been very pleased with everything! They have some super cute items! :) It used to be free shipping on orders over $20. I wish they hadn't changed it to $30! :(
You get what you pay for when you buy these, IMO. I got 3 sets as gifts to friends' children. OMG, the quality is horrendous! These are embarrassing to give as gifts!
return,, return, return…then the company maybe will be influenced to enhance their quality
they don't accept returns. in fact, they acknowledge in their website that their products are made in china, almost like an explanation why they quality of their products are like that
Yay! Thank you! Have a few babies to buy for this time around including my own!
Collin, I know the RAY code is good until Nov 11th, but how long is the HIP2SAVE code good for?
Got tons of ribbon, flowers, a tutu, wand, ruffle top shirt, and butterfly lollipops for $30.69 shipped. Awesome price and love the one stop shopping!
I have learned with this site the things okay to buy and ones that aren't. The quality on some of the things I have ordered is not great. Most of the accessories are okay, but the clothing items aren't that great in my opinion.
So, what items have you liked? I ordered various bows, tutus, a couple of hats, headbands, wands and boas. I have a little girl who loves this type of stuff for the dress up box! Thanks!
We just put in a second order and got it, love their hair ornaments and tutus, can't speak for anything else. Very happy with quality for the price.
I have over $30 in my shopping cart, and have gone to checkout, but the $10 shipping and handling is not being removed…am I doing something wrong?
Make sure that you have $30 after both coupon codes. It automatically came off for me. Try adding something else to your cart and see if it makes a difference.
Thanks Meredith! It's definately $31.00 AFTER the promo codes. Hmm?
I'm having the same problem. Did you ever get this figured out?
the things on this site are super cute!!!!and cheap….whats the catch??
I ordered items from here to use for my 5 month olds halloween costume. Of the items I received I loved them. I got the leggings, the 6inch crochet headbands, bloomers, wings, flowers clips, flower headbands, tutus, petticoats and I loved them all. I'm going to be ordering more for Christmas gifts for my nieces.
I love this site. Both of my daughters wore tutus and wings from here for Halloween, i bought a set for my neice for her birthday and two more sets for birthday presents when my daughter gets invites this year. I love their flowers and clips, i've been making my own hair clips for the girls. No catch, not super fast shipping, but for girls who like to dress up, you can't beat the prices.

David Tennant and Patrick Stewart In a Classic 'Hamlet'
That said, the version of 'Hamlet' airing April 28 on PBS's 'Great Performances' (and appearing on DVD May 4) is not the good Doctor as Danish prince. There are flashes of that, especially in Hamlet's early scenes with Polonius (a masterful Oliver Ford Davies) and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. That's where Tennant plays with a pitch-perfect blend of humor and cunning, spinning just short of out of control. And there is a beautiful sense of irony when Hamlet looks into the camera and says that time is out of join and it's his job to fix it.
But this 'Hamlet' is a very classical presentation of Shakespeare. Yes, there are modern clothes and a touch of technology, but the language is not updated, and any concessions to modernity generally fade into the background. Director Gregory Doran and his producers were looking for what they called a "vibrant neutrality" from the set, just as they had for the stage production. Technology plays a small role, as some short scenes are show through the point of view of a surveillance camera, playing up a certain sense of paranoia.
But the focus is on a tremendously talented cast, led by Tenant and Patrick Stewart, who plays Claudius. Tennant has theatre experience, but playing Hamlet opposite a seasoned actor like Stewart is no small feat. Tennant is remarkable, and received widespread praise for the theatre production. The struggle that is tearing him apart is never far from the surface, but he never devolves into caricature, always a danger when playing such a universally recognized role.
Stewart's Claudius has an easy charm that makes him all that much easier to loathe. In the climactic scene, he plays off the duel between Hamlet and Laertes like a friendly game of checkers, just a normal afternoon of sport. He even gives a little shrug just before drinking his poison (he refuses to give away the reasoning behind that in the DVD extras, damn him). It's like he's thinking, oh well, gave it my best shot, this is as good a place as any to end this. (Joel sat down with Stewart in January to talk about the performance; watch for the interview later this week).
There are no weak links in this production. Mariah Gale's madness as Ophelia is just as palpable as Hamlet's. Penny Downie does well to reveal Gertrude's heartbreak in the rare moments where here façade is cracked. Peter De Jersey and Edward Bennett are solid as the passionate Laertes and the ever-loyal Horatio.
Be prepared to give this production your full attention, especially if you find Shakespearian dialogue a bit hard to follow. This 'Hamlet' is entirely worth the effort.

This thesis explores the area of the intermolecular hydroacylation reaction, catalysed by rhodium diphosphine complexes. A range of latent low-coordinate rhodium diphosphine complexes have been synthesised, and their catalytic activity for the hydroacylation reaction has been investigated. In particular, emphasis has been placed on understanding how subtle changes in diphosphine steric properties affect, and can be used to control, selectivity of this catalysis.
Chapter 2 presents investigations into rhodium complexes incorporating the potentially hemilabile P-O-P ligands: POP', XANTphos and Xphos. The resulting complexes have been fully characterised and their activity for the catalytic intermolecular hydroacylation of aldehyde I (HCOC₂H₄SMe) and alkene II (H₂C=CHCO₂Me) established and compared to the DPEphos system. Further reactivity of Xphos for aromatic aldehyde V (HCOC₆H₄SMe) and alkene II, and aldehyde V and alkyne XI [HC≡CC₆H₃(CF₃)₂] has also been explored, and compared with the catalytic activity of {Rh(PPh₃)₂}⁺.
Focus moved from potentially hemilabile ligands to chelating diphosphine ligands of the type PPh₂(CH₂)nPPh₂ (where n = 2-5), and then on to ortho-substituted bulky analogues of the type P(₀-C₆H₅R)₂(CH₂)₂P(₀-C₆H₅R)₂ (where R = Me and ⁱPr) complexed to rhodium. Chapter 3 outlines the complexes synthesised, and their activity for the catalytic intermolecular hydroacylation of aldehyde I and alkene II, aromatic aldehyde V and alkene II or aldehyde V and alkyne XI. Possible explanations for the observed switch in selectivity from alkene to aldehyde hydroacylation, and linear alkyne to branched alkyne hydroacylation, have been explored and are detailed.
The final chapter concerns the structure of an interesting catalytic intermediate: the branched alkenyl species for the {Rh(DPEphos)}+ catalysed hydroacylation of aldehyde V and alkyne XI. Investigations into the kinetic and catalytic behaviour of this system were carried out, and a reaction scheme has been proposed which correlates well with kinetic modelling undertaken by Prof. Guy Lloyd-Jones of the University of Bristol.", "This thesis is not currently available via ORA." ; dc:format "born digital" ; dc:identifier "United Kingdom", "ora:6572", "urn:uuid:bef3f72f-7f18-4c5e-a6d6-e4e83f097b4d" ; dc:language "en" ; dc:relation "United Kingdom" ; dc:subject "Inorganic chemistry", "Organometallic Chemistry", "catalysis", "chemistry", "hydroacylation", "inorganic", "organometallic", "phosphine", "rhodium" ; dc:title "Controlling selectivity in the rhodium-catalysed intermolecular hydroacylation reaction" ; dc:type "text", "thesis" ; rdfs1:isDefinedBy

Texas Family Land Heritage Registry (1974) pg 101
Menard County, Texas
Bradford Ranch -
1863 - Seven miles northwest of Menard
"Adam Bradford and his wife, Eda Jane Chapman, founded 3,520 acres of Menard County land in 1863. Cattle were the primary income source on the ranch. the land was then passed to G. W. and Mary Jane Ellis Bradford, and then to James Mabry and Laura Virginia Placker Bradford. Today, Mrs. Ila Mae Bradford Davis, great grandaughter of the founders, ranches on 1,200 acres of the original land, raising cattle, sheep, and Spanish goats."
Texas Family Land Heritage Registry (1974) pg 102
Menard County, Texas
Old Striegler Place*
-1859, 1869-Eight miles west of Menard
"On July 8, 1855, Olfert Striegler, age 16, left Svendborg, Denmark, with his family, making the long journey to America in a sailing ship. After seven weeks, they landed at Indianola, traveling to Fredericksburg in covered wagons drawn by oxen and guarded by riders and marksmen. Olfert served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War and came to Ft. McKavett as a Ranger in 1867. There he met Mrs. Lucy Ann Roberts and they were married on October 12, 1869, settling in Menard County. Mrs. Roberts' mother, Mrs. Lucy P. D. Robinson, had bought 16,620 acres at 26 cents an acre in 1858. Their settlement was on part of this land. The first Striegler home, a one-room picket house daubed with clay, was later replaced by a home build from the first hospital at Ft. McKavett, which was moved to their ranch. The house, which is now used as a store room, still stands on the land, along with one of the original barns. Olfert and his wife raised a large garden and had a dairy. Other products on the land included sorghum, corn, horses, cattle, fruits, and pecans. Part of Striegler's produce was taken each week to the soldiers at Ft. McKavett. Present owner of the land, Mrs. Walter S. Menzies, Sr., is the granddaughter of the founders. Mrs. Menzies raises sheep, goats, cattle and grasses for hay on a 945-acre spread."

Morning Routine: From Wahh to Yeah!
I'll say it right off the bat.
There are many people who are more masterful at the morning routine than me. In fact, I've just started mine, and have only done it twice thus far.
The best morning routine guru around is Leo Babauta of Zen Habits: Google "morning routine" and he's who you'll find. His old morning routine is here, and his simplified one is here.
Here is another great artilce about morning routines:
Top 10 Ways to Upgrade Your Morning Routine
There are some things that are not mentioned in those articles that I would like to share with you:
(1) A successful morning routine depends on a successful evening routine.
Want to wake up early? Go to bed early. Set and test your alarm.
Want to sleep without stress? Prep tonight for tomorrow.
Want a morning free from stress + anxiety? Clean up before you go to bed. Pack your lunch and your bag.
(2) Know how much sleep thy body needs.
I just spent eight months sleeping as long as my little heart desired. My only alarm clock was the noisy street outside and an infrequent rain leak in the window above my bed. By allowing myself to sleep as long as I needed, I learned that my body needs at least 9 hours of sleep at night in order to feel energized throughout the day (read: no naps!) How many hours do you sleep when you can? That's how much you should aim for to feel the best throughout the day!
If you don't get enough sleep, read these articles:
The Surprising Toll of Sleep Deprivation
In Defense of a Good Night's Sleep
(3) Understand your body clock.
Also called your circadian rhythm, your body clock determines at what times during the day you will have the most energy. For me, this is mid-morning and evening. Because I understand my body clock, I can schedule my most difficult tasks for when I am the most alert.
Now, here's how it currently all plays out for me (more or less):
[6:00] Wake up (I have 3 alarms set at 3 minute intervals). Rolling out of bed is the hardest part!
[6:10] Meditation from Real Happiness by Sharon Salzberg. This 28-day challenge started this week as an assignment for a psychology professor, and so far I'm loving it!
[6:30] Make tea, go to office and write down any brilliant ideas that I unfortunately came up with while trying to sleep. (Note to self: put notebook next to bed).
[6:45] Concoct a delicious breakfast (oatmeal/shake/toast/egg + english muffin) and slurp down some OJ.
[7:00] Shower
[7:20] Decide on a schedule for the day. Jot down the 3 most important tasks. Scann RSS feed. Become distracted by social media.
[7:40] Finish getting ready, pack lunch.
[7:50] Start car from the comfort of my kitchen. Win. Put on arctic weather attire. Check everything twice (thus avoiding anxiety while in car).
[8:00] Out the door!
Here are some things that I'd like to add:
- Stephen Tyler jumps from the top of a building into a lake every morning. Then he emerges from the water and lets out a whail of victory. Need I say more?
- Walk the dog.
Here are some things that I normally don't do in the morning:
- Exercise. While this is fabulous for some people, I'd personally rather fry in the pits of hell than commit to running at 6:00am every morning. Also, exercising in the late afternoon has been linked with better sleep. DONE.
- Make coffee. I'm simply too lazy.
- Read a book. When I wake up early, I feel excited about beginning the day and getting things done. I prefer reading during breaks and at night before I go to bed.

The dancer photographed was captured during a fiesta celebration in the old square of Santa Fe. The women wear colorful, double-circle skirts embellished with ribbons. The dancing from this region consist of flourishing arm movements, and loud, intricate stomping. This is traditionally a courtship ritual, and the women flirtingly dance away from the men while the men try to impress them with their footwork. In the end, the female is won over by the men's attentiveness. Folk dancing is one of the most eye-catching international dance forms around. With a stunning display of colors and upbeat musical accompaniment, folk dancing south of the border signifies a good time. Like many foreign dance styles, Mexican folk dance has been...

Families of boys killed on Stuart's Cove Road settle wrongful death lawsuits | Photo Gallery
STUART — The families of two alcohol-impaired boys killed on Southeast Cove Road in August 2009 when the Jeep they were in slammed into a front-end loader have settled wrongful death lawsuits filed against the construction firm in charge of the road-widening project, court records show.
Stuart residents Nicholas Coady and Christopher Briglio, both 18, and Connor Graver, 16, were killed in the crash. Coady, the driver of the 1989 Jeep Cherokee, had a blood-alcohol level of 0.251, more than three times the legal limit for an adult, according to Florida Highway Patrol reports. Blood-alcohol tests released by FHP indicated Briglio and Graver also were impaired at the time of the crash.
Court records show on Nov. 8, Briglio's parents, Harold and Susan Briglio, settled a wrongful-death lawsuit filed in 2009 against the Indiantown-based Sheltra & Son Construction Co., and driver Pedro Perez-Espinoza, who was operating the front-end loader struck by Coady's Jeep.
Terms of the Nov. 8 settlement were not disclosed in an order signed by Circuit Judge Elizabeth Metzger dismissing the suit and noting the settlement called for both sides to pay their own costs and attorney fees.
Richard Sheltra, owner of Sheltra & Son, couldn't be reached Tuesday. His Miami lawyer Peter Murphy was unavailable for comment, according to his office.
The Briglios' attorney Farrah Fugett-Mullen on Tuesday said all parties agreed the settlement must remain confidential.
"It's one of those cases where I can't speak of any amounts that may have been exchanged," she said.
The Briglios, she added, are relieved the "intense" litigation is over.
"They ultimately wanted closure in the case; nothing that could have been done inside a courtroom or outside a courtroom was ever going to bring Christopher back," Fugett-Mullen said. "The best we could do was take this case as far as necessary to have some sense of closure for them, and hopefully that is what has occurred."
Court papers filed Oct. 24 by Jonathan and Susan Graver, parents of Connor Graver, show Metzger signed an order approving an undisclosed settlement, and dismissing the lawsuit the couple filed against Sheltra & Sons and driver Perez-Espinoza.
The Gravers' Stuart attorney, Scott J. Donaldson, said the case settled following court-ordered mediation.
"That mediation," he noted, "led to our confidential settlement."
The Gravers, who Martin court records show divorced last year, still suffer greatly, Donaldson said.
"I don't think either Mr. Graver or Mrs. Graver will ever recover from the loss of their son," he said. "It's just something that will not happen, and that's a reality they will have to live with for the rest of their lives."
According to a traffic homicide investigation report by the Florida Highway Patrol, the front-end loader was halfway into the eastbound lane of Cove Road at about 2 a.m. on Aug. 4, 2009, when it was struck by the Jeep Cherokee Coady was driving. A flagman wasn't present to warn oncoming traffic that the loader was in the road.
The FHP report noted Perez-Espinoza, of Okeechobee, voluntarily gave a blood sample to a paramedic at 2:52 a.m. Aug. 4, less than an hour after the accident. A toxicology report completed at the Florida Department of Law Enforcement laboratory found no alcohol or drugs in Perez-Espinoza's system.
Perez-Espinoza, according to FHP, had dropped off a load of dirt on the south shoulder of the road and was "stopped in the eastbound lane of Southeast Cove Road facing in a southerly direction, attempting to put (the front-end loader) into gear to move forward at the time of the crash."
A little more than a year after the fatal crash, two Martin County men who had served the boys alcohol at a party pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and were sentenced to jail.
David Wayne "Bubba" Harper, an assistant South Fork High School baseball coach, and Craig D. Frick pleaded guilty to having an open house party where alcohol was consumed by minors. Harper was sentenced to 60 days in jail; Frick was sentenced to 20 days in jail and five months of probation.
Investigators determined Coady, Briglio and Graver drank beer at a party Harper and Frick threw Aug. 3, 2009, at their Palm City residence.
Evidence indicated the three had been drinking before they arrived, court records show, which prosecutors said was key in the state's decision not to charge Harper and Frick with manslaughter.

Palmetto, FL Wedding DJ
Portland Students Kick off 2012 With Formal Dance
Keeley & Nathan's Wedding – August 27, 2011
One of the great things about DJing weddings is getting to work at some of the most beautiful places in the region. Nathan and Keeley's wedding took place at the home of friends in Salem, Oregon next to the Willamette river. It was a gorgeous day for a wedding. Nathan and Keeley were off to a great start as a new couple.
The ceremony took place down by the river as the reception area was up closer to the house not far away. The sound traveled amazing through the area. Processional music and the Pastor during the ceremony could be heard crystal clear though our sound system and powerful wireless microphone. Once the ceremony was finished, guests moved up towards the upper lawn were dinner was ready to be served. We played a mix of custom picked music along with a popular selection of favorites as everyone ate dinner. As the last few guests were finishing their meals, we were just about ready for the cake cutting and toast.
After the toasts and cake cutting, we were ready to start dancing. Keeley and Nathan opened the floor with their first dance. After Keeley danced with her father and Nathan danced with his mother, we were ready to open to all. I played requested dance music from artists like Tim McGraw, Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift and Michael Jackson to celebrate. It was another fun wedding party.

- Ceremony: 3:00pm

Mohammad was extremely professional, even when teenagers were requesting music. He went above and beyond my expectations. I would refer Mohammad to anyone that would ask. I can not say enough good things about him. He was prompt, even early with his equipment, and was ready to go when we needed him. He anticipated our needs. I wish the music every wedding reception could go as smoothly as ours did. Mohammad has a "do whatever it takes" kind of attitude that is invaluable. It was so nice not to have to worry about the music. He was THE BEST!!' -Chris Brickner

How to save money on a DJ
- Look for part-time or hobbyist DJs. These DJs tend to cost less because they have other sources of income and do not have such a large overhead.
- Reduce the size of your guest list. The fewer guests you invite the smaller the sound system will be needed.
- Keep everything in one room/area. Keep things simple when holding your event. If the DJ only needs to set up once and only needs one sound system then costs will drop. The more places you need sound the more your costs will increase. More equipment = more money.
- Pass on extras such as lighting effects, fog machines, etc. Music is what makes or breaks a party and that is what your guests will remember.
- Have a friend or family member be your Emcee. The less services a DJ has to offer the more money you can typically save.
- Pass on the dance-floor. This is such a waste of money and can cost more than the DJ! Just designate an area for dancing and call it good. People can dance on carpet and any hard surface.
- Look for a DJ company that does a high volume business. These companies book a lot of DJs thus offer volume discount pricing in most cases.
- Don't have your event on Saturday. The busiest day of the week for a DJ is Saturday as this is when most everyone's schedules line up to hold an event. Saturday pricing will always be your most expensive. Friday and Sunday pricing can sometimes be less but they also can be popular days. The most money can be saved Monday –Thursday.

Cupcakes are probably my very favorite dessert to make. You can be creative. In fact, you can turn anything into a cupcake. I've even seen meatloaf cupcakes out there with mashed potato frosting and a ketchup garnish. While savory cupcakes really aren't my thing, you can see that really, if you put your mind to it – you can make a cupcake version of anything you want.
This particular cupcake was born while I was shopping for candy for a birthday gift – I saw a bag of the cute, mini version of my favorite candies and I just knew that they'd be the perfect cupcake garnish. I used one of my favorite chocolate cakes and my very favorite frosting recipe ever – marshmallow frosting.
To take it up a notch, I dipped the first layer of frosting into some chocolate, then topped it with another dollop and some mini candies.
Not only do these taste fantastic, they're bright and colorful and would be a welcome addition to any celebration. Let me know what you think – come and see me over at Lemon Sugar!

OGJ Pipeline Editor
HOUSTON, Aug. 11 -- El Paso Midstream Group Inc., a subsidiary of El Paso Corp., on Aug. 9 began a 30-day, nonbinding open season to solicit interest for its proposed Marcellus Ethane Pipeline System (MEPS).
The open season is scheduled to close Sept. 10. Subject to sufficient customer interest, MEPS plans to negotiate terms with interested parties that would be contained in transportation agreements. A binding open season is scheduled for October.
MEPS would transport as much as 60,000 b/d ethane at fractionation plants in the Marcellus shale to destination interconnect points with third-party ethane pipelines and storage facilities in the Baton Rouge, La. MEPS would use a combination of new pipeline and existing pipeline segments, expected to be acquired from Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co. and converted to ethane service. El Paso has targeted an in-service date of Apr. 1, 2013.
Both MarkWest Liberty Midstream & Resources LLC and Cumberland Plateau Pipeline Co. LLC also have proposed systems to move Marcellus ethane to the US Gulf Coast (OGJ Online, June 4, 2010).

Vegetarian Thai Tom Kha soup recipe, step by step.
Thai recipes are not supposed to be vegetarian. They like their seafood and their meat, and create magic with it.
Thai recipes are not supposed to be vegetarian. They like their seafood and their meat, and create magic with it.
Since some of us like to be vegetarian and eat Thai food, we need vegetarians versions of Thai recipes. Someone's got to do it!
While I may not be the first, this is an awesome vegetarian Tom Kha recipe. Tom Kha is my favourite Thai soup and I usually order the one with chicken and mushrooms. However, my homemade vegetarian version has tofu and no mushrooms (because I was serving this to someone who doesn't eat mushrooms either!).
In Singapore, we get something called a Tom Yam set on most supermarkets that has all the essential ingredients to make vegetarian Tom Kha soup, namely, galangal, lemongrass, thai chillies, kaffir lime leaves, lemon, and shallots.
Galangal is not optional and ginger is a very poor substitute. Galangal tastes nothing like ginger, although they look very similar.
Tom Kha soup is supposed to be watery, not thick, so water is a reasonably good base for the soup. However, if you have the patience to make your own vegetable stock or have access to good vegetarian stock cubes, please use that for added flavour.
For more Thai recipes, check out pad thai recipe, vegetarian green curry recipe and also how to make Thai green curry paste at home. Oh and by the way, if you haven't tasted a good Thai mango sticky rice dessert, you haven't lived. Just saying.
Vegetarian Thai Tom Kha Soup
Serves 2 generously
1.5 cups thick coconut milk
1 cup water / vegetable stock
2 stalks of lemongrass
2-3 1" pieces of galangal
5-6 kaffir lime leaves
4 shallots
1 block of soft tofu cut into 1" cubes
12 button mushrooms, quartered (or any other variety you like)
4-5 Thai chilli padi / serrano chillies
1 tsp sugar
1 lime
Fresh coriander leaves / cilantro to garnish
Salt to taste
1. Discard the bottom 2 inches of the lemongrass. Discard the top woody part and use the middle portion (about 8" of it) for the soup. Cut this part into small circles and set aside.
2. Roughly chop the galangal, chillies, and shallots. Tear the limes leaves into two.
3. Bring water or vegetable stock to a boil and lower fire to a simmer. Add the galangal, lemongrass, shallots, chillies, sugar, and lime leaves. Keep on simmer for 5-7 minutes.
4. Add the coconut milk and the tofu and mushrooms with some salt. Keep on simmer for another 7-10 minutes until the mushrooms are soft.
5. Remove from fire. Squeeze in fresh lime starting with half a lime and then increasing the quantity as you like. Garnish with roughly torn coriander leaves / cilantro. Serve hot.
The flavour of Tom Kha soup should be spicy, sour, and sweet from the coconut milk and added sugar. Adjust the ratios according to personal taste.

Inexpensive Cleansing Oil: Kose Softymo Deep Cleansing Oil White Review
'ello dear chicklets!
Seems you're all into the inexpensive cleansing oil deal at the moment and the Muse can't blame you one bit. With the economy and Shu charging you an arm and one leg for a bottle of cleansing oil, who doesn't want to seek out affordable options?
Check out Kose Softymo Deep Cleansing Oil!
Jump it!
This is affordable, available (you don't have to go to the end of the world and back to locate it), and it simply works. What more could a girl want?
Yes, the main ingredient is mineral oil…and yes I guess mineral oil is a cheaper ingredient but I absolutely have no problem with it.
The oil comes in several varieties but I find I really like Kose Softymo Deep Cleansing Oil White version. You may have guessed already that the "white" is what gets me. This version promises to erase certain dullness as it cleans making skin whiter and brighter. Actually with continued use you will notice a little less dullness.
The oil is a nice consistency not too thick, not too runny, but just right. It has a fresh citrus scent that's very subtle, nothing crazy, and no worries at all you won't get eau de dish cleansing liquid with this.
The oil works as any oil. Simply rub onto a dry face full of makeup (including waterproof makeup), use a tiny bit of water to emulsify, and proceed to rinse. Done! Removes everything in one quick step.
Other affordable cleansing oil options sometimes don't do a fab job getting waterproof makeup off but this works a treat. It rinses clean away, no oily, sticky residue, simply clean, hydrated skin. It's gentle enough to use daily and on any skin types including oily ones (I know what a contradiction right? Oil on oily skin but no worries, it works, promise).
Of course, the best part of all is the fact that it's so very affordable and can be found online for as little as $5 to $10 or even Asian markets, beauty shops, if you have a larger Asian community in your area.
Overall, it's one of my fav affordable cleansing oils and does the job well.
Well worthy of a haul if you're tierd of paying silly pricing on your Shu Cleansing Oil.
Loves it!
Muse Approval for purchase.
Disclosure: The following item was purchased by me for review purposes (and because I like flinging my money at makeup products of any kind) on Musings of a Muse. For further information please see my FTC Guidelines or my Disclosure/Disclaimer posts.
3/4/10 16:01 Su:
I just ordered softymo deep cleansing oil since my shu oil cleanser is going to finish…
I had to debate if I should just get shu or other oil cleanser like DHC/softymo/shiseido etc…
I have tried softymo oil cleanser once (just one time) before so it came in top list…but I am not sure if it will be as good as shu for continuous use
anyway since it is so much cheaper I ordered it to see..if it works yay for my (actually my mum's) wallet lol
3/4/10 17:12 Marcy:
I read somewhere Muse that there is not that much of a point using whitening cleansers??? Not sure how believable that is, but apparently since you're washing you aren't really absorbing any goodness anyway, so you're better off just using serums and the like?
I am proud to be on the whitening bandwagon – after all I am asian and my canadian bf just doesn't understand LOL – you have to review the Kanebo Freshel range sometime, cos me likey XD AND as you asked – I have tried my Naive Green Tea – ME LIKEY!!!
3/4/10 17:55 Chung:
I don't have that one but I do have the Kose softymo Deep Cleansing Oil which I LOVE. I image they're probably pretty similar minus the whitening effect. They're so good for the price, a total gem <3
3/4/10 18:26 Mandy:
I'm using this cleansing oil too! I was a bit iffy on trying it but it seems like many cleansing oils have mineral oil in them :\ I don't think that parts bothers me most though. This one dries my skin up and makes it all flaky :X Maybe it's just me or it doesn't work well with my skin.
3/4/10 18:36 jonnie:
I think I will try this when my current bottle of Shu runs out… can I put it in my gorgeous Moyocco Anno Shu bottle?
3/4/10 22:55 Vicky:

Does this remove Majolca Majorca mascara?
7/12/10 21:29 Izumi:
Ohk thanks. I've searched everywhere and even alot of oil based eye makeup removers don't work on the majolica majorca mascaras which is so depressing because I'd love to wear them more! What do you use to remove them?
