Pasta with White Beans and Escarole
Pizza with Spinach and Olives
Chiles Rellenos
Pasta with Spinach Pesto and Zucchini
Cauliflower, Chickpea and Potato Curry
AS Mark Twain might have said, everybody talks about eating less meat, but nobody does anything about it. Yet for people who like meat and aren't ready to go whole hog (so to speak) by becoming vegan, there are many approaches to cutting back on red meat, poultry and fish, and just about anyone with any food disposition and lifestyle can find easy-to-stick-to strategies.
Meatless Mondays is a dead--simple strategy. Anyone can do it, and it doesn't require major sacrifice. Even if you eat a typical American diet replete with processed, junk and fast food the other six days of the week, going meatless on Mondays will still cut your carbon footprint, improve your health and reduce demand for factory-farm meat.
Once you've tried a few easy, delicious, healthy and satisfying vegetarian recipes on Monday, you'll probably be tempted to start making them Tuesday through Sunday as well. You just might change from someone who merely talks about improving your diet to someone who's actually doing it.
Prep time: 32 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Serves 4
1 pound Brussels sprouts,
trimmed and halved
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and black pepper
8 ounces mushrooms, preferably
a mixture, trimmed and
halved if large
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 cup coarse cornmeal
½ cup milk, preferably whole
½ cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish
1. Heat the oven to 450°. Put the Brussels sprouts on a rimmed baking sheet that can hold them in a single layer, and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast for 10 minutes. Add the mushrooms and garlic, toss, and continue to roast, shaking the pan occasionally, until the sprouts and mushrooms are quite brown and tender, 10 to 20 minutes more. Taste, and adjust the seasoning.
2. Meanwhile, put the cornmeal and a large pinch of salt in a medium saucepan; slowly whisk in 2½ cups water and the milk to make a lump-free slurry. Set the pot over medium-high heat; bring almost to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cook, whisking frequently, until thick, 10 to 15 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, whisk in a bit more water; you want the consistency of thick oatmeal. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Divide the polenta among four bowls; top with the vegetables. Garnish with parsley and grated Parmesan, and serve.
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 18 minutes
Serves 4
4 tablespoons peanut oil
4 shallots, halved and thinly sliced
4 carrots, julienned or shredded
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced ginger
4 cups day-old cooked brown rice, at room temperature
4 eggs
2 teaspoons sesame oil
4 teaspoons soy sauce
1. Put 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. When it's hot, add the shallots, carrots, garlic and ginger. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but not browned, about 10 minutes. Season with salt. Raise the heat to medium, and add the rice. Cook, stirring well, until heated through. Season to taste with salt.
2. In a nonstick skillet, fry the eggs sunny-side up in the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, until the edges are set but the yolk is still runny. Divide the rice among four dishes. Top each with an egg, and drizzle with ½ teaspoon sesame oil and 1 teaspoon soy sauce; serve.
Prep time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes
Serves 4
¼ cup olive oil, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 pound escarole, roughly chopped
½ cup dry white wine, vegetable
stock or water, plus more if needed
2 cups cooked or canned white beans, drained
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried Black pepper
8 ounces whole wheat pasta
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add salt. Meanwhile, put the oil in another large pot over low heat. Add the -garlic, and cook just until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the escarole and wine, raise the heat to medium high, and cook, stirring once or twice, until the escarole begins to wilt, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the beans, rosemary, a sprinkling of salt and pepper and, if the mixture is sticking, a little more wine. Cook and stir until -everything is hot, 1 to 2 minutes longer.
2. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in the boiling water until it's tender but not mushy (start tasting after 5 minutes), then drain, reserving about 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Toss the pasta and the cheese with the escarole mixture, adding just enough of the pasta water to keep it moist. Taste, and adjust the seasoning. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil.
Prep time: 50 minutes plus time for dough to sit
Cooking time: 23 minutes
Makes 1 large or 2 small pizzas
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose or bread flour, plus more as needed
½ teaspoon instant yeast
4 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for greasing
1 medium onion, chopped
Black pepper
1 28- to 35-ounce can diced tomatoes,drained, with liquid reserved
6 cups baby-spinach leaves
½ cup pitted and chopped oil-packed black olives
¾ cup (about 3 ounces) grated mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1. Combine the flours, yeast and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Stir in 1½ cups water. The dough should be relatively sticky and wet, like biscuit batter. If it isn't, add a little water. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, cover, and put in a warm spot. Let the dough
sit for at least 6 hours or up to 12. (The longer it ferments, the more complex the flavor.)
2. Heat the oven to 500°. Generously oil a baking sheet or large ovenproof skillet. Dust your hands with all-purpose flour, and fold the dough over in the bowl a few times. It will be sticky, but resist the urge to use too much flour; dust your hands again only when absolutely necessary, and use a gentle touch. If you're making small pizzas, divide the dough in half or quarters. Gently press the dough onto the baking sheet or into the skillet; the pizzas needn't be perfectly round, but avoid tearing the dough.
3. Brush or drizzle the top of the pizza or pizzas with 2 tablespoons oil, cover, and let sit while you make the sauce. Put the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat; when it's hot, add the onion, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, and cook until the mixture thickens a bit, 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Spread the sauce over the dough, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top
with the spinach, olives, mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake until the crust is crisp and the cheese is melted, usually 8 to 12 minutes. Let stand for several minutes before slicing so the cheese sets.
Prep time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Serves 4
8 poblano chiles
½ cup chopped pumpkin seeds, almonds or walnuts
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing the chiles
½ cup fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels
½ cup chopped scallions
½ cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
Salt and black pepper
Lime wedges, for serving
Tomatillo or tomato salsa, for serving
1. Prepare a grill or broiler; the heat should be medium high, and the rack about 4 inches from the heat. Cut a slit down the length of each poblano, to allow you to stuff them without tearing. Remove as many of the seeds as you can, leaving the stems intact.
2. Put the pumpkin seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast, stirring or tossing frequently, until they are lightly browned and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes; remove. Add the oil, and turn the heat to high. When it's hot, add the corn, and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until it's nicely browned, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, and stir in the pumpkin seeds, scallions, cheese, cilantro and a sprinkling of salt and pepper.
3. Carefully stuff the corn mixture into the poblanos; there should be a little more than ¼ cup filling for each one. Brush each poblano with a little more oil, and grill or broil, turning as needed to cook them evenly, until they are soft and charred on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes total. Serve hot or at room temperature with the lime wedges and salsa.
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 18 minutes
Serves 4
2½ cups loosely packed
baby-spinach leaves
1 small clove garlic, or to taste
2 tablespoons pine nuts or
roughly chopped walnuts
6 tablespoons olive oil, or to taste
1 pound zucchini, sliced
Black pepper
8 ounces any pasta, preferably whole wheat
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it. Combine the spinach with a pinch of salt, the garlic, nuts and about 4 tablespoons of the oil in a food processor or blender. Process, scraping down the sides of the container if necessary.
2. Put the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When it's hot, add the zucchini, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook, turning occasionally, until the slices are very tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in the boiling water until it's tender but not mushy (start tasting after 5 minutes). Drain, reserving some of the cooking liquid. Add the pasta to the skillet, and toss with the zucchini, pesto, Parmesan and a sprinkling of the pepper, adding cooking water as necessary to keep the mixture from drying out. (The pesto will stay green for about 20 minutes.) Taste, and adjust the seasoning. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan.
Prep time: 32 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Serves 4
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
8 ounces all-purpose potatoes, shredded or minced
Salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 cups cooked or canned chickpeas, drained
1 small cauliflower, cored and roughly chopped
1 cup coconut milk
1 or 2 small dried hot red chiles (like
Thai) or a pinch of red chile flakes
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
1. Put a large, deep skillet over -medium-high heat. Add the oil, swirl, and add the onion and potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and beginning to brown,
3 to 5 minutes. Add the ginger and curry powder, and cook for 30 seconds or so.
2. Add the chickpeas, cauliflower, coconut milk and chiles, and reduce the heat so the mixture bubbles gently. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower and potatoes are tender and the mixture thickens, 10 minutes or longer. Taste, remove the chiles, garnish with cilantro, and serve.

After being divorced for about two years, I had to admit I was lonely. Loneliness is a funny thing and
tricky as well. You start to believe it is not so bad, and after coming out of a lonely marriage, it's better to sleep alone than to lie next to someone and feel the same way. But I think after a while, you miss all the wonderfulness of love and your longing for companionship rears its ugly head.
So strange signs began to appear; signs that led me to try online dating. The first sign was my neighbor telling me that her ex-husband was married again and had met his wife online. Then after a while, I was visiting with a dear friend, and she mentioned a mutual friend of ours was away for the weekend with a man she is crazy about. She met him online. But the final sign was when I decided to get away for a weekend and headed out to Lancaster to spend time with my friend Shelly. In her dismay with my non-existent dating life after two years, she literally signed me up for an online dating site insisting I "get out there" and test the waters. And so it began…
At first it was very exciting! Oh the thought of my prospects seemed so bright. My 22-year-old daughter helped me pick out my profile pictures and with her assistance, I wrote and edited what I thought was a well rounded "picture" of who I was and why someone would want to "get to know me better." So my day started off with my daughter and I making a pot of coffee and looking at the matches that were "perfect" for me. Connections were sent to me and waiting for a mutual response seemed endless. It was disappointing when your "match" did not feel the same.
Suddenly, I felt as though I was in high school again and a bit insecure. Except that now I was 47 years old and being rejected by men online that were maybe a bit too good looking for me! It was ridiculous. Under normal conditions, I was very confident and comfortable in my own skin and now I actually felt rejected from "John, in Ossining New York" who was looking for "the love of his life." Oh, but here is where it got really interesting… After two weeks of this search, my daughter and I finally decided I should have the opportunity to look and choose my "matches," and so we took a gander at my choices. Mind you, I could not communicate with these selections unless I paid another fee, but we looked nonetheless. Page after page, I was not a match for endless reasons. I was too old, not active enough, did not want to raise three- and five-year-old children, did not sail, rock climb or enjoy running the Boston marathon. And just when I was about to stop looking, my daughter said, "Come on mom, the right guy may be on the next page!" I said, "O.K., but only one more page!" And there he was. I couldn't believe it. The man I once loved but was all wrong for me — my ex-husband.
We read his profile and looked at his pictures, and all I could think to myself was how misleading. I couldn't stop staring at his picture. I read how he viewed himself and began to think about I used to love this man, how I have looked into his soul, and how we raised two children together. I also thought about how a computer determined we were a "match," and if I were to choose him, it might take me 23 years to leave him again if I had learned nothing from the first time. The truth is we were a "mismatch."
I am pretty sure at that moment I decided this was not the way for me to find love or to cure a heart that felt lonely from time to time. I would have chosen a man based on qualifications instead of the warmth of his smile at a glance in the supermarket or while standing on line at the movies turning to see whose soft voice was speaking behind me and our eyes would meet…the little things that connect us by chance.
As my daughter and I sat there, I thought for a moment about how she felt seeing both her parents online looking for companionship again but not with each other. I looked at her and said, "Do you think we've had enough of this Angie?" I turned to hug her, realizing loneliness wasn't tricky at all and sleeping alone was not such a lonely option. I was O.K. without her dad and always believed in what I read once — that behind every great woman is herself. I assured her that at a time in my life, I did know love with her father, and I would know love again. This time of alone was not loneliness. It was my time to relish in the beauty of what it will teach me.

Through pictures, this book captures my travel to the United States cities of San Francisco, Las Vegas and Los Angeles during the period of 29th May 2010 to 11th June 2010. In these pages, I have chosen photographs that capture the essence of each of these great cities. From the iconic Golden Gate Bridge to a glimpse of life as a prisoner in a past era on the time-weathered former high profile maximum security prison at Alcatraz Island, these photographs preserve the vividness, history and appeal of San Francisco. Approximately three hours drive from San Francisco lies the Yosemite National Park, with its splendid scenery of granite cliffs, grand waterfalls and Giant Sequoia trees. Las Vegas is a city characterised by extravagance and indulgence. It is a city that is all about night life and photographs at various famous casino and hotel complexes, such as the Bellagio and The Venetian (both reside along the famous Las Vegas Boulevard, or better known as The Strip) provide a visual journey through this energetic city. Los Angeles has its own character, distinct from the previous two cities. Best known as the home of America's movie industry, these photographs capture this aspect of Los Angeles through the Hollywood sign and the stars along the Walk of Fame. Downtown Los Angeles, by contrast, was more downbeat and I employed black and white photography to bring out the shift in mood that I experienced here.
Michael is an amateur photographer with special interests in landscape, macro and night time photography.

Running Boards
Custom running boards make it easy for people of any height to enter and exit a vehicle. This can be particularly helpful for those who rely on driving in a large vehicle, but have some passengers who can't quite make the climb up into the inside of the vehicle. For vintage car restoration, installing running boards is common, as they were very much a part of many vehicles from decades ago that sat higher up from the road surface.

For children with disabilities and their guardians flossing and tooth brushing can be a daily battle but Oral Health in the Home is a class designed by Practice Without Pressure to make oral health easier for all involved. On Wednesday evening, Practice Without Pressure brought the Oral Health in the Home program to the John S. Charlton School.
The Newark-based medical non-profit primarily works with those who have disabilities.
"We offer practice to prepare people for procedures," said Jane Miller, outreach and marketing director for Practice Without Pressure. "We offer treatment with staff at the center, we offer education and training programs to families and individuals with disabilities, as well as the professionals who support them."
Practice Without Pressure received a grant from Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield Delaware, which is making it possible for the organization to do programs like this in all three counties in Delaware.
"This is the first time we've done this program in schools," Miller said. "It's a great opportunity for us to collaborate with the Charlton School to make this kind of health education available to families and loved ones."
At the Charlton School, Oral Health in the Home staff conducted a two-hour training program for ten families. The first hour consisted of a training session where parents learned better techniques to help their children with flossing and brushing. In the second hour, parents worked one on one with their child to practice the new skills with support from Practice Without Pressure staff.
"It's a much needed resource for our population," said Jeffrey Conkey, assistant principal at the Charlton School. "Practice Without Pressure coming to work with our students and families to teach them how to tolerate and go through procedures and exams can only benefit our population and their families."

The Salvation Army seeks car donations during July
Published: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 at 1:22 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 at 1:22 p.m.
The Salvation Army commands across the Piedmont Triad are teaming up with the Carolina Ford dealers in the Triad to try and collect 30 car donations in the month of July for its "30 Cars in 30 Days Campaign."
More than any other time of the year, the summer months bring a predictable slowdown in charitable contributions. Proceeds from the donated vehicles will help fund the programs and services provided to the community through The Salvation Army.
Parkway Ford of Lexington, 98 U.S. Highway 64 West, is participating in the campaign.
"You can help be the light at the end of someone's long road by donating a car to our '30 Cars in 30 Days Campaign,'" said Sgt. Les Ashby, corps administrator for The Salvation Army of Davidson County.
All donations are tax-deductible. Boats and RVs also will be accepted.

Mine would have to be.. "& if the rain stopped & everything went dry she would cry just so I could drink the tears from her eyes".
Forum category:
"so sit on back and enjoy the show, then lean on forward and enjoy some mo', and then sit back again and keep on enjoyin like you was enjoyin befo'"
one of his illest rhymes has to be "suicide might commit it with your belt...keep your pants on homie"
"But I can't fill it like a flathead in a Philips Don't get it twisted nigga, I'm no tool More cool than a pool in a blizzard With ice cubes in it during Christmas Meanin' there's no school in the misfit Like I'm throwin' a fit Or I just can't fit it, tidbit too big It's gotta hem it til it's fresh to death Dressed to kill it, like uhh!"
Last verse on Glory... "And you gotta respect the position in which youre playing Never let your heart reflect the conditions in which its stained Even if its dark, and the temperature is the same As winters in the Ukraine and your appendages is in chains Have forgiveness from the start, keep maliciousness restrained Be smart, never indiscriminate in your aim Cuz its innocent witnesses oblivious to the thangs To calm the ones the hypnotists keep entertained And you cant arch, have some resilience in your frame Stay resistant, and committed to what youre saying Cuz, theyll flip it the minute that you refrain Read the book and the lines and literature in between You gotta be educated when going against the grain Pay attention, they illegitimate in their claims They assisted in the killing and pillaging In addition to the addiction, shit is much bigger than just in plain But " Ridiculous... thought-provoking, yet it flows so smoothly. I love this rhyme...
I really really can not sum it to just one lyric. Here are some of my fav: "I am still a raisin in the sun, raging against the machine"--go go gadget flow "Lust can sometimes override trust. She said that's why she gave it up"--Real "I love the Lord, but sometimes it's like that I love me more" (Really the entire song is crazy lyrically)--The Coolest "I'm thinkin godly, God guard me from the ungodly"--Hurt Me Soul "And the babies that were born in the late '80s. That now have babies that lack Pampers.No Kwaanzas and they lack Santas"--Ghetto Story
"Word to tha nigga who took rap from me Chill i will take rap to where niggas can concieve, to the point where niggas cant agree on which song is best so the arguement is whether i am better than me."
"Never met her before But I think I like her like a metaphor It's hard to get in the car we sit From the intro she rolled down her window just in case I was a skitzo"
I think the whole entire "American Terrorist" song from Food & Liquor holds the best verses ever. Dating back to his Fareinheit mixtape lyrics.
I love her, with all my heart Every vein, every vessel Every bullet lodged With every flower that I ever took apart She said- that she would give me greatness Status, placement above the others My face would grace covers Of the magazines of the hustlers Paper, the likes of which that I had never seen Her eyes glow green with the logo of our dreams The purpose of our scene The obscene obsession for the bling She would be my queen I could be her king Together, she would make me cool And we would both rule, forever And I would never feel pain And never be without pleasure, ever, again And if the rain stops And everything's dry She would cry Just so I can drink the tears from her eyes She'll teach me how to fly Even cushion my fall If my engines ever stall And I plummet from the sky But she will keep me high And if I ever die She would commission monuments on her bosom To hum Or maybe she'd retire as well A match made in Heaven set the fires in Hell I remember right before the album came out Lupe was doing some college conference of something idk, but anyways he was walking through the aisles reciting this verse and it drove me crazy!lol that song is so serious!
"cuase we never fear God, know the wepons of the weak and the weakness of the hard." -Emperor's soundtrack
It's a verse... (Verse 2 of Mean N Vicious) Truthfully, I have trouble with second verses Cuz the first one be so intimidating It'd be bullying and picking on it instigating Pointing out all the second ones limitations Like, "you aint nothing but an imitation" Like bits of bacon then it gets the chorus and the beat to together then they gang up on him and get to hating but then around the 8th bar he tires of their conspiring And comiserating, then he find his inspiration To spar he takes a few seconds of judo lessons Gets back on beat then punches the guitar They stand in awe like, "when did you write that?" They even right black First verse already happened so he don't have a chance to fight back I like that You gon respect me A 8 track? Listen to him, feeling Himself Swagger up, and a few ad-libs to back it up Lets back it up I think you've had enough Give me my mic back You ain't even write that Oh its like that? Track stop pumpin' till this n*gga stop frontin' Yeah, yeah Now right back ^^^^^^^^ ILL.
Like anything from Dumb it Down, but one example: Took both pills when the bloke in the trench coat and the locs in chair had approached him here Made it clear as a ghost, so a biter of the throats in the mirror The writer of the quotes for the ghost who's supplier of the notes to the livin' Riveting is Rosy, pockets full of posies, given to the mother of the deceased, awakened at war, till I'm restin in peace
"Had a feeling that it would be a day like this, The orchestra in my mind don't play like this" -Sunshine.. I really could quote that whole song, love it so much.
i got tooooooooo many "I had a ghetto boy bop, a Jay-Z boycott 'Cause he said that he never prayed to God, he prayed to Gotti I'm thinkin godly, God guard me from the ungodly But by my 30th watchin of "Streets is Watchin" I was back to givin props again and that was botherin By this uncomfortable as a untouchable touchin you The theme songs that niggas hustle to seem wrong but these songs was comin true And it was all becoming cool " -- Hurt Me Soul
This has always been my favorite This walkin project buildin Now there's hoes sellin hoes like right around the toes And the crackheads beg at about the lower leg There's crooked police that's stationed at the knees And they do drive-bys like up and down the thighs And there's a car chase goin on at the waist Keep a vest on my chest I'm sittin in my room as I'm lookin out the face Somethin to write about I still got some damage from fightin the whitehouse,
Damn too many to name right now. But I like "So it's lights out like a light house in the day time. Make you lay down. Make you go to bed. Make you go to sleep like D-Bo when he was choking Craig. That's a headlock. That's what I said I got the whole game in." -Blackout I love how Lupe keeps on topic with each line. Sorry for the breakdown, lol I just love it: So it's light's out like a light house in the daytime(He rhymes 'light's out' and 'light house' and continues the similie of it being out in the day time) Make you lay down . Make you go to sleep like D-Bo when he was choking Craig( You usually want to lay down when the lights are out. And when you are laying down you usually fall asleep. And D-Bo put Craig to sleep in the movie Friday) That's a headlock. That's what I said I got the whole game in...(D-Bo used a head lock on Craig to make him go to sleep and Lupe proclaims he has the rap game in a headlock)
pennies from heaven is the same as a semi from da second and i rain/reign supreme turn ur umbrellas upside down did u even catch da change in theme?
Comin From Where I'm From -"Captivated by what the drug dealers told, Infatuated with what the drug dealers drove, A life validated by what a drug dealer holds, On the stand cause what another drug dealer told"
Im just trying to do the opposite of left, as long as theres the opposite of death. you test? and i might just bring the opposite of life, until theres no one the opposite of right. -from Game Time

The most advanced piece of mathematical and scientific knowledge I carry around in my head these days is that your hair is 50 percent of your looks. And when you've gained 10 pounds or are worrying over a new wrinkle, that could jump to 75 percent.
The good news is that your hair is totally — okay 97.8 percent — in your control. Here's how not to act old in terms of what you do with your hair.
DON'T GO GRAY. I know some of want to stone me for saying this, but as a crusader for not acting older than you need to, I feel bound to tell you that letting your hair go gray makes nearly every woman look instantly years older. True, gray hair can be lovely, and undoubtedly easier and less expensive to maintain. And perhaps you just want to cultivate an up-yours attitude by wearing your hair in a gray crewcut while dressing in an orange thong bikini to which I say, Bravo.
But if you're looking for simple ways to act and look more youthful, coloring the gray may be Number 1.
DON'T CHOP IT OFF. If you love short hair, fab, but too often Evil Young Hairdressers — and even Evil Not-So-Young Ones — try to make every woman over 40 cut off all her hair. It's like they're telling us we can no longer dare try to look sexy and feminine. Short hair does not make you look younger all by itself and in fact often does the opposite. Let it grow past your shoulders or curl wildly, sweep it up in an elegant chignon or wear it in a girlish braid down your back. The point: Let style and not age be your hair guide.
DON'T FEAR THE PRODUCT. When we came of hair grooming age, conditioner was considered an advanced hair product. But now there are smoothers, shiners, defrizzers, thickeners, many of which actually work. Expensive? Definitely. But also worth spending on. If you find the selection dizzying, let your daughter, niece, or twentysomething colleague take you product shopping.
DON'T CLING TO THE STYLE THAT WORKED FOR YOU 20 YEARS AGO. Here's the mistake: Deciding how to wear your hair based on that amazing picture taken of you 20 years ago. Clinging to an outmoded hairstyle, no matter how perfect it looked back then, can date you now. Plus, hate to break it to you, but it really won't make you look the way you did back in the first Bush administration.
DON'T BE AFRAID OF HAIR ADVENTURES. My friend Benilde Little, who not coincidentally wrote the bestseller Good Hair, always looks fabulous, not least because she's not afraid to do crazy things with her hair. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever seen her hair fixed the same way twice: One day it's in huge fluffy curls and the next smoothed down straight, it might be tied back with a scarf or in a poof on top of her head. She has the confidence to try new things and to believe she looks great even if her hair is not in the same studied arrangement, and that's about as not-old as you can act.

Hi All,
Well, I finally got all the stuff put back on the '55KH. It was a pain to start. More than usual after a rebuild. I use a Bendix/Zeinith carb with a modified intake to make it all work. I got tired of kicking and took the air filter cover off, and kicked it a few more times and it came alive, all be it, for just a few revolutions, then it backfired and set the K and N air filter on fire, or should I say the gas collected in the air filter on fire! Did I say Fire! Yes with real flames, heat and all that stuff that they think is an amazing accomplishment on those new age survival shows... Being in the drive, and away from the house I tried to blow it out, but no luck. Next I tried to spin the air cleaner, as it was only burning on the bottom, and again to know avail. I grabbed the thing and ripped it off the carb, and dropped it on the ground where it continued to burn. Where are those marshmallows when you need them?
I got the flames out in a unique fashion though, as I picked the thing up and bowled it across the drive and under the Buick Road master that has not moved in over 3 years... It is insured for fire and theft though! Amazingly enough, the rolling motion of the filter put out the fire and had had little effect on the air filter itself. Kind of like a wick of a oil lamp, with minor damage to the rubber sealing surface. Got lucky, about 4 times in less than the minute that it took to put out the fire!
Anyway, I got the bloody thing to run after changing the jets, and adjusting the Idle jet. I was running a .95 at first, then went to a .110, and it started, but after taking a trip down the street about 2 miles, it was still running a little ruff at larger butterfly openings. I took her back home and put in a bigger Jet, now a 1.10 as is stock for a Sportster, but after taking it out on the supper slab, found it lacking in top end. Too rich, or too lean? I don't know as I have never run fixed jets in it before. One thing I did notice is that it is not spewing oil out the exhaust, and runs pretty good at lower throttle settings. Then as you crank it open it gets finicky, and snorts, snaps and pops! Anyone with any KH Bendix knolage would be a great deal of help! Pretty Please!
I switched back to an Kwick Start 2000 electronic egnition, as I am tired of searthing for and replacing points. It seems to be working proporly. More on this later, though I will say it seems to be running very nicely.

"I wonder what the non-pathetic people are doing tonight?" - Rajesh Koothrappali (The Big Bang Theory)
Hello Ariadne,
Very impressive UI. I am myself a big fan of Kaitain Shadow UI too. However unlike you I am not sure I have the patience to dig into the possibilities of Weak Auras to reproduce what she did and what you did too. Out of curiosity was it difficult to do? Anyway keep up the good work. Last quick question what kind of font are you using for the unitframes?
Just find
and changeCode:local function UpdatePlates(frame) if(HeadlineGlobalSettings.target) then if(UnitName('target') and frame:GetAlpha() == 1) then frame.bg:SetTexture(1, 1, 1) else frame.bg:SetTexture(0, 0, 0) endtoCode:frame.bg:SetTexture(1, 1, 1)Code:frame.bg:SetTexture(0, 0, 0)
I use the Default UI (Heretic I know) I'm not much of a mod person anymore and even when I do use mods they are minor things like a damage meter or a cosplay mod which lets me undress my dressing room character for easier application of trying things on (so I don't have to remove tabards etc.) or a rare spawn tracker, nothing too extreme, it's just how I always have been.
I like it :3.
I'm doing something a little bit naughty; taking a peek at ElvUI. Started playing around with it and realised you can configure it a lot to look like my custom one, but with a lot less cpu usage.
Tomorrow I'll have a go at configuring it more and post a screenshot of what I can come up with! (Would liked to have carried on some more tonight Damn server shut-downs.)
Here is what I've come up with so far.
Only AddOns I'm currently using are DBM and Qusemap, and of course ElvUI. DBM is being rather stubborn regarding the configuration - It will not let me change the fonts and size for some reason :\
A friend just told me that in 5.1 ElvUI profiles will get wiped clean and reset, so I'm not really motivated to configure it any more :P

Summer Sampler Series: Minnesota Block
Minnesota is block #1979 in the Encyclopedia Of Pieced Quilt Patterns. It is in the "Unequal Nine Patch with Small Center Square" pattern category—a huge category with an amazing variety of designs represented. This block originally appeared in the magazine "Hearth and Home," which was popular with women in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Hearth and Home published a series of 50 quilt block patterns, one for each state (there is a book that collects all 50 state block patterns, which you can buy here). I couldn't find any information on whether there is design significance to each state's block (I'm guessing there isn't). But Wisconsin's is pretty interesting too, so you might see that one from me one of these days! It might be kind of fun to make a "travel quilt" of blocks for all of the states that I've been to over the years.
Minnesota Block Tutorial
This is another block that combines traditional piecing and paper piecing. But if you've made it this far in the quilt-along, I promise you'll think this one is a piece of cake. No, seriously!
1. Cutting:
• (4) 6.25" print squares for hourglass units
• (4) 2.5" x 5.5" pieces for diamond units
• (1) 2.5" square for center diamond
• (8) 3.5" x 4.5" pieces for background of diamond units
• (4) 2" squares for background of center diamond
2. Let's start with the paper-piecing this time. You can download the paper-piecing template here. (Please note: Printing directly from Google Docs can cause your template sizes to be inaccurate. To avoid this, download the PDF to your computer and print it from Acrobat—for information about how to do this, see this Flickr discussion.) You will need 4 copies of the rectangular template and 1 copy of the small square template.
3. Starting with the rectangular templates, adhere the 2.5" x 5.5" pieces to the back of the templates, right side facing out, so that your fabric is on one side and the printed template is on the other. I use double-sided tape to put my fabric onto the template, but you could also use a glue stick, fabric glue, or pins. Your fabric pieces should be the same size as the template and should completely cover the back of the template. In the photo above, mine are all adhered to the templates.
4. Take your 3.5" x 4.5" background pieces and cut them in half diagonally, so that you have 16 triangular pieces.
5. Position a background triangle onto the back of your template/fabric, right side facing, as shown.
6. Flip the entire thing over, so that you're looking at the printed template. Hold it up to a light source to check that the triangular background piece is in the correct position. It's hard to tell in this photo because my fabric is black, but at least 1/4" of the triangular background piece should be above the line you'll be sewing on, and the rest should be below the line.
7. Sew directly onto the line between Section 1 and Section 2, as shown. Be sure to use a shorter stitch length to make it easier to tear off the paper later. I'm using 1.4 on my machine.
8. Fold back the triangular piece and press into place, as shown. (My paper is curling in the photo above, due to the nine-thousand percent humidity we're currently having.)
9. Sew the other three pieces into place in just the same way. When you're done, you should have something that looks like this.
10. Using the paper template as a guide, trim off the excess fabric.
11. Tear off and discard the paper templates. Fold back the background triangles and carefully trim off the excess fabric underneath. (So I'm trimming off the black fabric from underneath the white fabric.)
12. You should now have a diamond unit that looks like this. Repeat the process to make a total of four diamond units.
13. Now follow the same process one more time to make the center diamond. Use the 2.5" square paper template, your 2.5" square of fabric and your 2" square background pieces. After sewing and trimming, you should end up with a unit that looks like this.
14. Now that your paper-pieced diamond units are complete, we'll use traditional piecing to make the four hourglass units that complete the block. Start by cutting the 6.25" squares in half diagonally, and then in half diagonally in the other direction. You should now have a total of 16 triangles like the ones above.
15. Match up one triangle of each print and sew them together along a short edge. Don't sew together the long edges—if you do that, you'll end up with an HST, and we actually don't want any of those this time! : ) I pressed my seam allowance to the side, toward the blue print.
16. Do the same thing with another pair of triangles, but this time, swap the sides the prints are on. Yes, it does matter which sides the prints are on, so pay attention to that. Again, I pressed my seam allowance toward the blue print.
17. Join the two triangles together for a completed hourglass unit. Pressing your seam allowances to the side should give you those "locking seams" that will help you nicely align your points. The completed hourglass unit should measure 5.5" square. Repeat to make a total of four hourglass units.
18. Arrange all 9 units as shown, join into three rows, and then join the rows together to complete the block.
See, that wasn't too bad, right? And look what you've made (and learned!) in only three weeks! My blocks are above—I can't wait to round them out with the final three blocks. I hope you guys are enjoying this as much as I am! Stop in at Swim, Bike, Quilt on Monday for Kate's final block in the series, and don't forget to upload photos of your progress to the Flickr group. I have been so impressed and amazed at the wonderful creations that have been showing up there! Happy sewing!

I know I keep saying this but this is the best QAL there has been on Flickr, I love how it jumps between blogs, how you're all making the blocks in your own fabrics and how you have a bit of block history as well as the instructions and how the blocks are getting harder - genius!

Ok this one challenged me...I don't know why but I did more Frog Sewing (ripping out) than I have in a very long time. LOL The block turned out and when I can I will post a pic. I fussy cut the paper pieced block section as I had an image that I wanted to play with fabric that I had bought 10+ years ago and just could never cut into. Thanks for the perfect block to do that.

I love this block, but when I print it out the pattern is not the correct size. The inch measurement is correct by the scale at the bottom, however the pattern is about 1/4 inch too small on each side. Anyone else have this problem???
- May 8, 2013 at 10:39 AM
- Lee said...
Hi Emily,
Sorry you're having problems! This block has been available for almost two years now and nobody else has said anything about it being the wrong size. By pattern, do you mean one of the templates, or the full block? When you print the templates, Template A should measure 2.5" x 5.5" with seam allowance, and Template B should measure 2.5" square with seam allowance. My templates are correct when I print it. So if the templates aren't printing at that size, you need to make sure you've downloaded the PDF to your computer (don't print from Google docs, it can screw up the size), and print with no scaling or at 100% size.
If the templates are the correct size but your entire block is finishing too small, double-check that your hourglass units are the correct size (5.5" x 5.5" unfinished).
Also, I wasn't able to email you the answer to your question because you are a no-reply blogger! If you'd like to learn how to change that setting, visit http://happyhourprojects.com/blog-tips-are-you-noreply-commentblogger-com/ and http://www.flusterbuster.com/2013/02/are-you-no-reply-blogger.html.

Hi Faith, I have the same problem with the previous commenter.. I too lost 1/4" from the paper piecing templates. Template A is 2.25" x 5.25" even though I downloaded the pdf and print from the downloaded pdf...
- December 8, 2013 at 9:50 PM
- Lee said...
Hi Amira,
Sorry you're having trouble! The template does measure 2.5" x 5.5". Many dozens of people have made this block successfully over the 2.5 years it's been available. Please see my reply to the above comment to double-check your printer settings.

LITTLE ROCK, AR. (Dec. 20, 2011) - Amidst the carols, hot cocoa and cookies, the joy and merriment of the holiday season is here. As parents go out to purchase presents for their good little girls and boys, safety hazards need to be considered.
According to a report from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), approximately 181,500 children younger than 15 were treated in U.S. hospital emergency departments due to toy-related injuries in 2010.
"Injuries affecting the head are the most common and, unfortunately, the most serious," said Alison Rose, Home Safety and Regional Programs coordinator for the Injury Prevention Center at Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH). "Supervision is the key piece of the injury prevention puzzle. We tend to visit others' homes more during the holidays, so it is important to remember not every home has been childproofed."
Keep your children cheerful and safe this holiday season with these tips from the ACH Injury Prevention Center.
For additional safety information, contact ACH's Injury Prevention Center at 501-364-3400 or visit or visit http://www.archildrens.org/injury_prevention.
Arkansas Children's Hospital is the only pediatric medical center in Arkansas and one of the largest in the United States serving children. The campus spans 29 city blocks and houses 316 beds, a staff of approximately 500 physicians, 80 residents in pediatrics and pediatric specialties and more than 4,000 employees. The private, nonprofit healthcare facility boasts an internationally renowned reputation for medical breakthroughs and intensive treatments, unique surgical procedures and forward-thinking medical research - all dedicated to fulfilling our mission of enhancing, sustaining and restoring children's health and development.

Who was it that was responsible for the discovery that there are mummies found with cancer as the stated cause of death? And which Pharaoh or Pharaohs was it found in?
Mummification wasn't limited to pharaohs, state officials could get mummified as well (while obviously not being buried in pyramids). In fact, the overwhelming majority of mummies found aren't pharaohs and most of them remain unnamed. E.g. the title of one article discussing a cancer case is "Colon cancer in a Ptolemaic mummy from Dakhleh Oasis". While I don't have the article itself, I'm pretty certain that it doesn't mention who that mummy was - merely when he lived (thanks to carbon dating).

Community members from Delaware Americans for Democratic Action, SEIU 32BJ, and other members of the Americans for Tax Fairness coalition marched in the Middletown Peach Festival, declaring, "Public Investment is Peachy" and "Corporate Tax Dodging is the Pits."
Tax revenue pays for responsible investments our country needs. Most of us do our part and pay our fair share. Unfortunately, many multi-national corporations don't pay their fair share. Corporate tax dodging leads to insufficient revenue, which results in cuts to programs like Head Start and Meals on Wheels.
At a recent discussion at the Appoquinimink Community Library, Barbara MacGeorge-Sorg, President of the Appoquinimink Educational Support Professionals Association, lamented the sequester's effects. "The paraprofessionals in the Appoqunimink School District were hit the hardest by the sequester," she said. "It not only affects the nine paras that were RIFed due to the sequester, it impacts our special needs students who are the most vulnerable and needy."
A poster at our Peach Festival booth asked community members what the U.S. should do with the $150 billion we lose annually because Congress allows the super-rich and huge corporations to take advantage of off-shore tax havens. Many wrote their hopes for public investment in our communities. MacGeorge-Sorg hopes Congress will make sure more paraprofessionals don't lose their jobs next year.
Our hope is that Senator Carper, Senator Coons, and Congressman Carney will tell Congress it's time to require multi-national corporations to pay their fair share and use that revenue to end the sequester.

I have a 300 RSAUM 18 inch stainless fluted barrel wondering if the cost for having it chambered in 7.62X51 (308) would be cost effective?
I put a 20inch 308 barrel on a new DPMS upper and use that now
I know that the barrel extension would have to come off. any thoughts?

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Apnea is a term for the absence of breathing for more than 20 seconds. It can occur in full-term babies, but is more common in premature babies. The more premature the baby, the greater the chances that apnea will occur.
Apnea may be followed by bradycardia - a decreased heart rate. When breathing slows, the heart rate also slows. A common term for apnea with bradycardia is "As and Bs."
Apnea of prematurity may be due to a disturbance in the brain's breathing control center, called central apnea. With obstructive apnea, breathing stops because something is blocking the airway. Problems in other organs can also affect the breathing control center. Apnea of prematurity may not have an identifiable cause other than immaturity of the central nervous system. However, apnea of prematurity may have other causes. Some of these include:
Most babies who develop apnea are premature. It appears to be more common during sleep, especially during active sleep - a period when the baby has rapid eye movement (REM) while sleeping. About half of all premature babies have apnea of prematurity.
Apnea of prematurity may be different from another breathing pattern that can occur in both premature and full term newborns, called periodic breathing, a pattern of short pauses followed by a burst of faster breaths. While periodic breathing is a normal type of breathing in babies, apnea of prematurity can be a symptom of a more serious condition.
The following are the most common symptoms of apnea of prematurity. However, each baby may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Symptoms of the more serious forms of apnea of prematurity may include:
The symptoms of apnea of prematurity may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your baby's physician for a diagnosis.
It is important to find out if the apnea is due primarily to prematurity or if it is caused by another problem. Your baby's physician will check many of your baby's body systems to find out what might be causing the apnea. Diagnostic procedures may include:
When apnea occurs, stimulation of the baby by rubbing the skin or patting can help the baby begin breathing again. However, any problems that might be causing the apnea need to be identified and treated. Many premature babies will "outgrow" apnea of prematurity by the time they reach 36 weeks gestation.
Specific treatment for apnea of prematurity will be determined by your baby's physician based on:
Treatment for apnea of prematurity may include:
Apnea not due to prematurity may require other treatments.

The Delaware Department of Health & Social Services offered back-to-school safety guidelines for parents via an Aug. 20 news release.
Parents should go over bus transportation routes and traffic safety with children, make sure backpacks are not too heavy and pack healthy, non-sugary lunches for school.
Children need to have current immunizations to prevent communicable diseases such as chickenpox, measles and diphtheria.
Pediatrician visits to screen the child's overall health are also important, including vision, hearing and oral health screenings. Regular dentist visits should start at age 1.
Parents should keep well-child visits and immunizations up-to-date, DHSS says.
For a list of required immunizations by age, call 800-282-867 or visit 1.usa.gov/1AEm8RU.

Premiere date revealed for "Under the Dome," to film in Wilmington
Published: Monday, January 14, 2013 at 2:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 14, 2013 at 2:03 p.m.
Stephen King's adaptation of his best-selling 2009 novel, "Under the Dome," will premiere on CBS at 10 p.m. Monday, June 24, according to a network news release.
The StarNews first reported on Jan. 2 that the Wilmington area was the likely destination for the new sci-fi adventure, which will be produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment.
The production opened offices at EUE/Screen Gems Studios on Monday. Filming is expected to begin in February, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"Under the Dome" is set in a small New England town suddenly and inexplicably sealed off from the rest of the world by an enormous transparent dome. The town's inhabitants must deal with dire living conditions while searching for answers about the barrier.
The series' script was originally developed for Showtime, according to the network.
CBS lauded the show's concept during a presentation at the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour earlier this month. Network President Nina Tassler said she hoped the show would become a "big summer event" for the number one broadcast network.
"Dome's" first trailer will air during the network's coverage of the Super Bowl next month, according to Entertainment Weekly.com.
( Read more about the series at Entertainment Weekly here.)
Niels Arden Oplev – director of the original Swedish version of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" – will direct the series' first episode.

Small Area; Short Distances
The total area of the State of Israel is 8,630 sq. miles (22,145 sq.km.), of which 8,367 sq. miles (21,671 sq. km.) is land area. Israel is some 470 km. (290 miles) in length and about 85 miles (135 km.) across at the widest point. The country is bordered by Lebanon to the north, Syria to the northeast, Jordan to the east, Egypt to the southwest and the Mediterranean Sea to the west.
Mountains and plains, fertile land, and desert are often minutes apart. The width of the country, from the Mediterranean Sea in the west to the Dead Sea in the east, can be crossed by car in about 90 minutes; and the trip from Metulla, in the far North, to Eilat at the country's southern tip takes about nine hours.
Israel may be divided into four geographical regions: three parallel strips running north to south and a large, mostly arid, zone in the southern half.
The coastal plain runs parallel to the Mediterranean Sea and is composed of a sandy shoreline, bordered by stretches of fertile farmland extending up to 25 miles (40 km.) inland.
In the North, expanses of sandy beach are occasionally punctuated by jagged chalk and sandstone cliffs. The coastal plain is home to more than half of Israel's 7 million people and includes major urban centers, deep-water harbors, most of the country's industry, and a large part of its agriculture and tourist facilities.
Several mountain ranges run the length of the country. In the northeast, the basalt landscapes of the Golan Heights, formed by volcanic eruptions in the distant past, rise as steep cliffs overlooking the Hula Valley. The hills of Galilee, largely composed of soft limestone and dolomite, ascend to heights ranging from 1,600 to 4,000 feet (500 to 1,200 m.) above sea level. Small perennial streams and relatively ample rainfall keep the area green all year round. Many residents of Galilee and the Golan are engaged in agriculture, tourism-related enterprises, and light industry.
The Jezreel Valley, separating the hills of Galilee from those of Samaria, is Israel's richest agricultural area, cultivated by many cooperative communities (kibbutzim and moshavim). The rolling hills of Samaria and Judea (the West Bank) present a mosaic of rocky hilltops and fertile valleys, dotted with groves of age-old, silver-green olive trees. The terraced hillsides, first developed by farmers in ancient times, blend into the natural landscape. The population is concentrated mainly in small urban centers and large villages.
The Negev, comprising about half of Israel's land area, is sparsely inhabited, its population supported by an agricultural and industrial economy. Further south, the Negev becomes an arid zone characterized by low sandstone hills and plains, abounding with canyons and wadis in which winter rains often produce flash floods.
Continuing southward, the region gives way to an area of bare craggy peaks, craters, and rock-strewn plateaus, where the climate is drier and the mountains are higher. Three erosive craters, the largest of which is about 5 miles (8 km.) across and 21 miles (35 km.) long, cut deeply into the earth's crust, displaying a broad range of colors and rock types.
At the tip of the Negev, near Eilat on the Red Sea, sharp pinnacles of gray and red granite are broken by dry gorges and sheer cliffs, with colorful layers of sandstone glowing in the sunlight.
Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee), nestled between the hills of Galilee and the Golan Heights at 695 feet (212 m.) below sea level, is 8 km. (5 miles) wide and 21 km. (13 miles) long. It is Israel's largest lake and serves as the country's main water reservoir. Along Lake Kinneret's shores are some important historical and religious sites, as well as agricultural communities, fisheries and tourist facilities.
The Jordan Valley and the Arava, along the country in the east, are part of the Syrian-African Rift, which split the earth's crust millions of years ago. Its northern stretches are extremely fertile, while the southern portion is semi-arid. Agriculture, fishing, light industry and tourism constitute the area's main sources of income.
The Jordan River, flowing from north to south through the Rift, descends over 2,300 feet (700 m.) in the course of its 186 mile (300 km.) route. Fed by streams from Mount Hermon, it runs through the fertile Hula Valley into Lake Kinneret and continues winding through the Jordan Valley before emptying into the Dead Sea. While it swells during the winter rainy season, the river is usually quite narrow and shallow.
The Arava, Israel's savannah region, begins south of the Dead Sea and extends to the Gulf of Eilat, Israel's outlet to the Red Sea. Adaptation of sophisticated farming techniques to climatic conditions, where the average annual rainfall is less than one inch (25 mm.) and summer temperatures soar to 104ºF (40º C), has made it possible to grow out of-season fruit and vegetables, mainly for export. The sub-tropical Gulf of Eilat, noted for its deep blue waters, coral reefs and exotic marine life, lies at the southern tip of the Arava.
The Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth at about 1,300 feet (400 m.) below sea level, lies at the southern end of the Jordan Valley. Its waters, with the highest level of salinity and density in the world, are rich in potash, magnesium and bromine, as well as in table and industrial salts.
The Dead Sea's natural pace of recession has been accelerated in recent years due to a very high rate of evaporation (5 feet - 1.6 m. annually) and large-scale diversion projects undertaken by Israel and Jordan for their water needs, causing a 75 percent reduction in the incoming flow of water. As a result, the surface level of the Dead Sea has dropped some 35 feet (10.6 m.) since 1960. A project to link the Dead Sea with the Mediterranean Sea by means of a canal and pipe system, which may help restore the Dead Sea to its natural dimensions and level, is under consideration.
Regional conditions vary considerably, with humid summers and mild winters on the coast; dry summers and moderately cold winters in the hill regions (including Jerusalem), hot dry summers and pleasant winters in the Jordan Valley; and year-round semidesert conditions in the Negev. Weather extremes range from occasional winter snowfall at higher elevations to periodic oppressively hot dry winds, which send temperatures soaring, particularly in spring and autumn.

Malawi achieves a Happy Planet Index Score of 42.5 and ranks #72 of all the countries analysed.
Malawi's HPI score reflects a low life expectancy, 'middling' levels of experienced well-being, and a very low ecological footprint.
Other statistics
Malawi's experienced well-being score is 5.1 out of a possible 10.
This is lower than the world average level of experienced well-being (5.28).
The data for experienced well-being draws on responses to the ladder of life question in the Gallup World Poll, which was asked to samples of around 1000 individuals aged 15 or over in each of the countries included in the Happy Planet Index.
Malawi's life expectancy is 54.2 and ranks #134 among the 151 countries analysed.
This is very low. It is considerably lower than the average life expectancy of all countries analysed (69.9) and lower than the average life expectancy in SubSaharan Africa (54.8).
The life expectancy figure for each country was taken from the 2011 UNDP Human Development Report and reflects the number of years an infant born in that country could expect to live if prevailing patterns of age-specific mortality rates at the time of birth in the country stay the same throughout the infant's life.
Malawi's Ecological Footprint is 0.78 global hectares per capita.
If everyone had the same Ecological Footprint as the average citizen of Malawi:
- the world's Ecological Footprint would be 70% lower
- the world would operate comfortably within sustainable environmental limits
Ecological Footprint is a metric of human demand on nature, used widely by NGOs, the UN and several national governments. It measures the amount of land required to sustain a country's consumption patterns.
For a majority of the countries (142 of the 151), Ecological Footprint data were obtained from the 2011 Edition of Global Footprint Network National Footprints Accounts. For the nine other countries included (Belize, Comoros, Djibouti, Guyana, Hong Kong, Iceland, Luxembourg, Malta, and Palestine), Ecological Footprint figures were estimated using predictive econometric models.

Preppy Frog Party (20 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Hop on over to my pad! Nothing can be cuter or say spring like this Preppy Frog Party! Filled with bright green colors, navy and blues and tons of DIY, its perfect for any boys birthday or a baby shower.
Rebekah of A Blissful Nest designed the most adorable printable set that was preppy and fun, without being too babyish. Fun polka dots and stripes in vibrant colors really made the party seem like we were almost outside by the lily pond.
I took those colors and made a fabric banner using torn scraps of navy, green and light blue fabric. The banner really made the party "pop" against the neutral wall. Instead of a typical, long table I used a white washed dresser as the dessert table and found a fun polka dot printed fabric in party colors I used as a runner. Easy elements such as a white water pitcher for "pond water" and a green tinted mason jar (I did myself using Martha Stewart glass paint) with lily flowers were easy and key pieces to make the table stand out.
We served cupcakes, adorable and delish cookies decorated by Batches that could not have fit the theme more perfectly and "lily pad" jello cups (a Pinterest idea!!)
Elizabeth of I Have A Favor decorated plain push up pop containers to fit the theme and I swear they made the party! I filled them with blue chocolate candies and placed them in blue plastic tubs, They made a great party favor and were something unique the kids could take home.
Bright and simple elements really made this party pop and at a minimal cost!

Some 70s classic rock stuff and maybe a little bit of late 60s is listenable but there are so many genres that really have their Genesis (see what I do there?) in the 80s. Without the music I the 80s there would be no rap, techno, heavy metal or indie rock today. Sure a lot of music from the 80 is pretty cheesy but the scope of some of it is just epic and they did so many different things on music during that time period that are just iconic sounds now.
Everything from the 80s is catchy

I'm trying to generate a demand curve numerically, given a utility function. The function for the demand is defined like so:
Demand[UF_, x_, m_, w_, p_] := NArgMax[{UF, {x >= 0, m >= 0, p x + m <= w}}, {x, m}][[1]]
UF is the utility,
x is consumption of a good,
w is consumption of everything else in dollars,
p is the price of the good in dollars and
w is the budget. The constraints say that consumption must be non-negative and that the budget must not be exceeded.
Now I'm trying to plot the demand curve for an innocent looking utility function:
Manipulate[Plot[Demand[5 Sqrt[x] + m, x, m, w, p], {p, 1, 10}], {w, 1, 100}]
This is very slow. What am I doing wrong?

im all for alum AR's & i have a bunch of them.. i keep bunches of everything..
you gotta remember bud.... i operate under the stance of ANY gun is better than no gun. everything has its purpose. stockpiles of ready to use weapons are good for exactly that... grab a gun and shoot until your dead.
that old "hand to hand" bullshit is exactly that. why take a tiny bullet thrower to a up close fight? if your planning on hand to hand? you dont want an AR anyway.
as to your list of things not to do? how many of those have YOU done & broke one?
i have dropped them, knocked them over, fell on them & even used them as a cane.. everything that i do with a alum m4...... still never broke one. however....... i am weapons conscious & believe in protecting the weapon first, me second.. so its always been a roll/landing.. its part of the drills you do for crash landing with a weapon....
what i wouldnt do is expect 1 to work as a club for more than 1 shot or as a sledge hammer. guess what? aluminums dont make good clubs either. the weak point in any AR is at the buffer tube connection.
but then again ive also got STEEL AR's... :-)

I was having lunch last month with a colleague, Nathan. At 65 he's at the height of his research career, earns a good salary as a university professor and has been married to Sheila for 35 years. They have three adult children, all grown and living close by.
Sheila, 64, is a public relations consultant, and one of her clients is the local professional basketball team. She loves her work and doesn't mind putting in up to 50 hours a week.
Our conversation started with work, politics and the cold snap we were having but quickly turned to Nathan's marriage and the fact that lately he and his wife seemed to be fighting all the time. "When the kids were living with us, we were more of a united front: Us against them," Nathan said with a half-grin. "Now we seem to snip and contradict each other a lot."
I sensed he was looking for advice from me as a relationship expert. Nathan had heard me discuss the findings from my long-term study on marriage many times and even enjoyed reading my book based on the findings. So I invited him to come to my office later that week and discuss strategies from that research he might use at home.

The first question I asked Nathan was what they disagreed about so I could gauge the seriousness of the situation. "We don't have rip-roaring fights," he said. "We seem to squabble over household stuff, like who's going to deal with the roofer because we're both so swamped at work, and how we're going to pay for it. Or why she made plans on the night I thought we were having dinner together. Or what we should do with my late dad's Lincoln that's been parked in our garage. Just stuff like that."
But then he added, clearly frustrated: "She misinterprets everything I say. I make an effort to hear what she has to say, but it isn't working." He also expressed the feeling that she was more critical of him than he was of her. He looked at me with fear in his eyes and asked, "Is our marriage in trouble?"
My study of long-married couples shows that the real block to happiness and marital success isn't the amount of conflict; it's the ratio of positive to negative experiences. I've found that the positive times need to outweigh the negatives by a factor of about 5:1.
I felt that Nathan and Sheila's areas of disagreement weren't too serious. What's happening here, I told him, was that they had fallen into a pattern of poor communication. But, I told him, by paying more attention to how they were speaking to each other, they could get themselves out.

ZF-9196: Zend_Db_Profiler_FirebugTest fails when you don't have the extension PDO_SQLITE installed.
Zend_Db_Profiler_FirebugTest fails to tearDown() correctly when you don't have the pecl PDO_SQLITE extension installed.
"Fatal error: Call to a member function getConnection() on a non-object in .../release-1.9.2/tests/Zend/Db/Profiler/FirebugTest.php on line 104"
A fix would be to check to see if the PDO_SQLITE extension is loaded at the top of the tearDown() function
I have created a patch to solve this problem!
Fixed with the r22570.

Reviewer: A viewer from FORT COLLINS, CO USA
Got this for the bench as I got tired of opening bags of krystal flash, etc. Now I just hang, spin and use what I need. I also place misc spools of material up top for easy organization.
