Story Line Press, 1998 - Poetry - 69 pages
The speaker in Extranjera is a foreigner, an outsider to both Mexico and herself. Her story is a journey which begins in bravado: She boards a bus and travels deep into the Mexico she wishes to embrace. What she finds are vibrant colors, poor villagers, feral dogs, riveting characters, and the keys to self-awareness. The poems in Extranjera are intensely visual and leap from the page as if they were masked dancers at Carnival

Mum's the word: crazy cleansing
We all cleanse our face – and I don't mean the disciplined cleanse-tone-moisturise routine, I just mean that we all wash our face (hopefully at least once a day, preferably twice!). But right now I'm not talking about facial cleansing, I'm referring to colon cleansing...
A few years back I recall a friend Facebooking me to tell me that her mums group had clubbed together for her birthday to buy her a voucher for - wait for it - a colon cleanse. I remember thinking, 'if I were you I'd change my circle of friends – quick sharp'. Surprisingly though, she was excited about the prospect of a cleansed colon. I know that being a mum she didn't get out much, but this was taking things too far.
She went on to explain that it was all the rage and celebrities couldn't get enough of it. I still wasn't convinced and no, this isn't one of those stories where I go on to say that eventually I tried this crazy fad and found enlightenment – as well as a clean colon. No, I'm simply sharing my views that colon cleansing is not necessary (it can actually cause more harm than good) and yes, there are many things in life that are unnecessary but we choose to do them all the same – like tinting your eyelashes – but this is not one of them, and I recommend you leave well alone.
However, I am an advocate of tinted lashes and I'm currently sporting 1000 Hour Eyelash & Brow Dye in Blue/Black. A great little time-saving technique for mums on the go – no more time spent mastering your mascara application technique.
What foolish fad have you fallen for?

I would never go for a colon cleansing but I would consider false lashes.
Colon cleansing is definitely something I will never try.
I am very skeptical by nature so don't follow fads. If it doesn't have proven scientific research behind it (not just empirical) I'm not interested.
I don't like tinting lashes at all and it looks so fake.
slimming shakes!! hahaha
I have never tried it and I don't really find an appeal with it. I try not to follow fads.
Absolutely unnecessary if your diet has enough fiber your colon takes care of itself.
I must say that I dont ever remember falling for a fad and colon cleansing definately doesnt appeal to me.
I had long hair which was very short and spiked on top, all the girls at school would just hack the top part of their hair to from spikes. I did the leg warmers, the polka dot mini skirts teamed with princess diana inspired ruffle collared shirts. I used magic silver rose to try and throw a pink tinge through by brown hair( and i wondered why it didnt look as convincing on me as my blonde friends) . And i remember using my Breville curling wand on my hair until it fried and looked like crimped curls lol . I would do it all again. But I say no to the colon cleanse, I would rather be full of sh#t.lol.

No way will I ever try this. Yuk. If you need to cleanse eat some All Bran I say.
I haven't really fallen for a dodgy fad yet (or so I think!) although I did have a spiked fringe as a young girl and teased, gel fringe for a while to when I was back in primary school and trying out the latest looks, lol. Thankfully that was many years ago. Hee hee softness, i loved the crimper too, was great until I tried crimping my barbie's and melted her hair!
Me to passing on the colon cleansing. The only fad I did was the Magic Silver White in the hair....(horrors to think of it now), The worst fad was copying the ad for smoking Virginia Slims (slim ciggy like a cigar). obviously I was in high school lol.
I'll pass on the colon cleanse, lol. I think back in the eighties I fell for every fad that came out from the horrid poodle perm to the fluro choose life shirts and gogo gear, these days I steer clear of them all. that era was frightening enough, LOL.
Forgot to add my own foolish fad! I think it has to have been crimping my hair back in the eighties without any thought to using a hair protecting product. Not even sure if they existed back then!
I've never tried dying my lashes, or brows - but it suddenly seems very interesting to me and I think I'd like to give it a go! Especially with the more swimming weather coming up around the corner! I like the idea that it wouldn't wash off in the surf : )
I lit up a cigarette a couple of times when I was younger. It was all the rage, but I just couldn't inhale. (Reeeeaaaallllyyy ... I couldn't. I tell the truth.) So I had to give up.
I don't usually fall for these things but in the past (when I was pregnant and everything felt like HELL) I was considering the eyelash/brow tint, since I was still expected to look presentable at work.. didn't do it though, the all day sickness got the better of me
I did own a tamagochi back in high school..and I had blue hair but thankfully no photographic evidence!
Ha,ha that's funny aliciaraul because I was going to say the same thing!!! I loved my LW and would often be sporting them with a skirt and leggings!!! I'm not really into all this colon cleansing, as I have heard some real horror stories about them puncturing it etc... I like to cleanse my body the way god intended, naturally!!! :)
I have a photo of me way back in the 80s when I was a very young girl wearing leg warmers. I do regret following that fad especially when there's photographic evidence.
I've never try a colonic and don't think it's appealing at all. I think there are other ways of cleansing the body with good diet and healthy living. I know people that have had a colonic and raved about it. The most foolish thing I've probably done is try a few fad diets in the past. Have found that a temporary fix can have consequences and it's all about making lifestyle changes to feel healthy and stay in shape :)

So since I'm away, hubby took Jake for two hikes today. He and the dog left on their second hike near dusk, heading over to the wilderness park near our home. The park is steep and, aside from the main trail, relatively inaccessible. There are numerous trails, however they meander. Many end abruptly– sometimes at a cliff edge. It helps to know your way around for a variety of reasons.
There was hubby, hiking on our favorite side trail with Jake. He crested a hill and came to an old oak. Years ago some kids put a swing on that old oak, but it's rotted and fallen into disuse.
Hubby says it was dusk, the sun had gone down behind the hills, and there right in front of him he spotted a young couple beneath the tree buck naked, doing it doggy-style.
The path led right past them.
Hubby stood there for a while, not really wanting to turn around – which would have meant backtracking all the way up to the summit. He didn't want to be hiking in the dark. So he cleared his throat a few times, which they apparently didn't hear… Finally he shouted, "Coming through!"
The couple threw on their clothes and headed off down the trail.
Now, if they'd known their way around the park, and it was obvious from hubby's tale they did not, they would have known about some of the barely-used side trails, side trails which offer a great deal of privacy.
Instead they stuck to the main trail and hubby, who'd been poking to give them time to find one of those discreet out of the way places, came around a another corner and ran right into them, naked, doing it doggy-style in the middle of the trail.
This time he said, "C'mon, guys. I'm trying to walk here. Get a room."
He said they giggled, grabbed their clothes, and ran off down the trail. Ah well.
Hubby commented to me, "You know watching sex live is not a turn on. It just sorta looks stupid."
Poor poor man.
In other news, my dad is busy doing dishes, which is the only labor he's allowed to do. He's singing Strangers in the Night. I made him lobster. Smiley Face!
***My husband has sent me a postscript:
Read your post. It doesn't happen often but I do run into naked people in odd places without trying sometimes. I believe you have written in the past about my encounter in Phoenix while running without my contact lenses in. You know with the fake owl and the two naked people in the hot tub.
It was remarkable how out of place and untitillating this latest encounter was. It was actually comical. When observing sex, what makes it interesting is context. That is true with most things but especially sex.

Continuing the Angels Task comment (0)
April 24, 2014
By Bob Terry
Matthew's words are dramatic: a violent earthquake caused by an angel of the Lord coming to the tomb where Jesus had been buried; light as blinding as a flash of lightning pushing back the large stone that sealed the entrance to the tomb; Roman soldiers sent to safeguard the tomb so overcome by fear they curled up on the ground shivering and shaking (Matt. 28:2–4).
The angel was not sent to let Jesus out of the tomb. In His resurrected body Jesus could appear in a locked room (John 20:19) or disappear from a table where He had been eating with friends (Luke 24:31). Neither the bindings that had been wrapped around His body the previous Friday evening nor the carved round rock blocking the door could keep Jesus in the grave.
The angel was sent to help people see that Jesus had been raised from the dead.
The first part of the task was easy — roll away the stone so the women who came to do the last deeds of service to the body of their former leader could see the empty tomb and the grave clothes lying there. The emotional trauma of grief and loss was so heavy on those who loved Jesus they could not connect all the dots of God's eternal plan even though Jesus had told them about it earlier (Matt. 16:21). What they knew was the One they loved was dead. They needed help in understanding what they were experiencing.
"I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified," said the angel. "He is not here. He has risen just as He said" (Matt. 28:5–6). There it was plain and simple — the first Easter announcement. He is risen. He is risen indeed.
Luke's account adds more details. "Remember how He told you while He was still with you in Galilee: The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again" (Luke 24:6–7). That is when the women remembered, when they began to understand (v. 8).
Matthew, Mark and Luke all record the angel's announcement, "He is not here." All three announce that Jesus has risen and all three offer the proof of the empty tomb to help the women remember Jesus' teachings.
An angel was the first to announce that Jesus had been raised from the dead, the first to remind of God's plan for the salvation for humanity, the first to point toward the empty tomb as proof that Jesus is the Son of God (Rom. 1:4). But after the encounter with the women at the tomb, the task of sharing the good news of Jesus was transferred from the angel to those who believe.
The angel who rolled away the stone so they could see the empty tomb, the angel who announced He is risen also charged the women to "go quickly and tell His disciples He has risen from the dead" (Matt. 28:7). Scripture records no later incident of an angel declaring Jesus' resurrection. In Acts 1:10–11 angels promise the return of our Lord. But from the time the women left the empty tomb the task of telling others about Jesus was transferred from angels to those who believe that Jesus is risen. He is risen indeed.
As if to emphasize the responsibility of believers to share the resurrection story, Jesus emphasized that point over and over again in His appearances following the resurrection. Matthew says before the women could get to the place the disciples had gathered Jesus appeared to them and commissioned them to "go and tell" (Matt. 28:10).
Jesus told Mary Magdalene to stop clutching Him as if that were all there was in life but to "go and tell my brothers" (John 20:16–17).
Later that evening Luke says Jesus appeared to the disciples "and opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures." He told them, "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in His name to all nations" (Luke 24:45–47).
To the disciples who were just beginning to connect the dots of scriptural teaching, Jesus said, "As the Father has sent Me, I am sending you" (John 20:21).
Matthew, Mark and Luke, together with the Book of Acts, all record Jesus' final charge to His disciples to tell others about "repentance and the forgiveness of sin." In the famous Great Commission, Jesus said, "all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations" (Matt. 28:19–20).
In Mark 16:15–16, Jesus says, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved but whoever does not believe will be condemned."
"Repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem," says Luke 24:47.
Acts 1:8 records Jesus' final words to the disciples and other believers including "and you will be My witness in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth."
Sharing the marvelous good news of the Jesus story can be personally challenging. Even the joy of seeing the empty tomb and hearing directly from the angel that Jesus was alive could not drive out all the fear of the women at the tomb (Matt. 28:8). And not everyone will believe our witness. Not even the disciples believed the women at first because their words seemed like "nonsense" (Luke 24:11).
It was not the angel's job to make the women believe. His task was to share the announcement and help them see God's love in action. No human being can make another believe in Jesus, but we can share the announcement and help others understand that "God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself" (2 Cor. 5:19). When we do that we continue the angel's task and we comply with the charge given by the angel and by the Lord Himself.

Started in 1925, Aviation High School is the largest public aviation school in the nation with 150 teachers and more than 2,000 students. The school moved to its current location in Long Island City (LIC) in 1957 and offers an aviation maintenance technology program allowing students to earn FAA airframe and powerplant certification. Many JetBlue Crewmembers with technical operations backgrounds got their start at Aviation High School. When we move to LIC in 2012, Aviation High School will be a close neighbor less than one mile away.
JetBlue already supports the students of Aviation High School in many different ways. On June 24 at the school's graduation ceremony, JetBlue donated a tool box award to one of the top graduating students – Louis Villafane. JetBlue Maintenance ASAP Controller Sergio Laboy attended the ceremony and presented Louis with a plaque for his tool box. In addition, JetBlue presented two roundtrip travel passes to the valedictorian.
More than 300 Aviation High School students graduated this year, with 291 of them qualifying in the FAA program to obtain their airframe and/or powerplant certificate.

This is a pic of the lupilin glands I was talking about in the video. You can see that the one on the left has nice deep, golden colored sacs compared to the other one that has a lighter colored yellow. It's hard to tell with the actual cut hop but you can see it more clearly with the petals below the hops. The one on the left is fully mature.

How to Harvest Home Grown Hops: Video

Very helpful video. I now know my hops are ready to be harvested, but now that I look more closely I see they also have aphids in them. Are they a lost cause? Will the aphids go away during the drying process?
Thanks for any advice!

Agreed, great video and very informative. I just moved into a new duplex, and to my suprise, there was a hopvine growing off the front patio! Now I can put the basement (or brewery!) to use.

Thank you for this video. I found it in a google search, when I was trying to find information on how to harvest my own hops that I am growing for the first time this season. Thanks especially for the info on how it is harmful to dogs. I had no idea! I'll keep mine far away from the hops when I harvest. Thanks! -Rose

Thank you so very much. You gave us such great information. We really appreciate the extremely important info about hops and dogs. We would have been absolutely heart broken, as it shows that you were. Thanks again.

Thank you for such a great explanatory video! We are living in North Dakota for the summer and I found a ton of wild hops here so am excited to harvest them and brew some beer and see what kind of flavor these "mystery" hops will provide us with. Thanks again! The tip about dogs is great too, I had no idea about that:)
- August 28, 2010 at 7:58 AM
Thanks, Ben, for the good info! Looks like I found your site just in time - my hops are starting to make that papery sound you described.
When the blossoms turn a pale golden yellow, can they be saved for seed? A few of my plants have apparently gotten a bit too mature to make good beer.

A Venn diagram illustrates the relationship between the Canada Child Tax Benefit (CCTB) and the National Child Benefit (NCB).
The diagram is composed of three circles aligned horizontally. The left circle illustrates the base benefit of the CCTB, provided to both low- and middle-income families with children. In 2006-2007, the Government of Canada provided $5.9 billion through the base benefit of the CCTB.
The middle circle illustrates the NCB Supplement, provided to low-income families with children. It shows that in 2006-2007, the Government of Canada provided $3.5 billion through the NCB Supplement. The NCB Supplement, combined with the base benefit of the CCTB, comprise the CCTB system. The NCB Supplement is also part of the NCB initiative.
The right circle illustrates the NCB reinvestments and additional investments by provinces, territories and First Nations. This circle overlaps with the NCB Supplement. The area of overlap is the provincial, territorial and First Nations reinvestments, which were $652.4 million in 2006-2007. The remainder of the circle represents additional investments by provinces, territories and First Nations, which were $181.2 million in 2006-2007.

Stryker Leaves Obstacles Behind
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- There was a point when the drama associated with Stryker's
In an effort to start fresh, the company is under new leadership. While a new vision can certainly help change the culture of the company, the new regime -- as competent as they may be -- not only must continue to do battle with the likes of Johnson & Johnson
Following the company's third-quarter earnings report, during which Stryker posted strong 7% year-over-year growth (constant currency), it seems that Stryker's stock prices is the only thing that has not changed, given that shares are at their 52-week highs. In impressive fashion, management has done just enough to put most of the company's concerns to rest.
With the Reconstructive business posting better than 9% year-over-year growth, it was clear that despite the concerns related to product recalls and possible pricing pressure, Stryker had no intention on ceding its market lead to Johnson & Johnson. Leading the way was Stryker's strong 20% year-over-year growth in Trauma and Extremities.
It wasn't all great news, though. While it's encouraging that Stryker's hip and knee businesses are growing in mid single-digits, I can't see much differentiation at this point between Stryker's performance and those of Johnson & Johnson and Abbott Labs
Though I complained about the company's 4% year-over-year growth in the July quarter, this time the numbers were even less inspiring, growing at just 2.6% primarily due to a 2% decline in Instruments. I'm willing to give Stryker the benefit of the doubt here for its better-than-expected operational performance, which posted a 0.6% jump in gross margin. Not to mention, the leadership team is still getting adjusted.
Plus, unlike St. Jude
I've read where bears have argued that Stryker's 4% growth in operating income pales in comparison to the 12% surge by Abbott Labs. Even so, to the extent that management can continue to put these fears to rest while also managing legal costs, Stryker's stock may yet have more room to climb, as expensive as these shares already are.
It's worth nothing that another piece of uncertainty has been removed. In an issue that dated as far back as 2003, Stryker was accused and charged by the Securities and Exchange Commission with making improper payments from its subsidiaries to health care and government officials in Mexico, Europe and South America in order to secure business.

Brotherhood Interfaith Partners Pounce on Anti-Jihad Subway Ads
Tue, October 9, 2012
Interfaith allies of the Muslim Brotherhood legacy groups in the U.S. are now jumping into the controversy over the pro-Israel, anti-jihad advertisements in New York City subways. Their outcry is not a spontaneous reaction to "hate speech." It is part of an organized pushback against critics of the Muslim Brotherhood affiliates, adopting "Islamophobia" as their line of attack.
The ads merely state, "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad." The premise is simple and true: Israel is civilized and is targeted by jihadist savages. All the ads do is acknowledge that there is a jihad. It did not assert or imply that all or most Muslims are part of this jihad or that the jihad is legitimate according to Islam.
Nonetheless, the ads were accused of branding all Muslims as terrorists. Linda Sarsour, the executive director of the Arab American Association of New York, said, "You are talking about people like me being called a 'savage.'" Interfaith groups eager to show off their bona fides sprung into action, nonetheless.
It is not an exaggeration to say these interfaith groups are part of a coalition friendly to the Muslim Brotherhood-originated groups in the U.S. and their agenda. On March 13, the group Shoulder-to-Shoulder published a letter to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg expressing its outrage against the New York Police Department's showing of The Third Jihad, a documentary that exposes the Brotherhood origins of groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). The signatories blasted it as "bigoted" even though it is narrated by a devout Muslim, Dr. Zuhdi Jasser. The President of ISNA is a member of Shoulder-to-Shoulder's Executive Committee.
On July 6, the Presbyterian Church USA came within a hair's breadth of approving divestment from Israel, winning applause from ISNA. The measure was defeated 333 to 331, only two votes. The Brotherhood affiliates' interfaith allies were again deployed when five members of Congress, with Rep. Michele Bachmann being the most prominent, wrote well-documented letters requesting inquiries into the influence of these affiliates in the U.S. government. Over 40 groups, bringing together churches with atheists, responded with their own letter dismissing the allegations and endorsing ISNA and the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC).
Participants in these Brotherhood-friendly campaigns are now taking aim at the subway ads. United Methodist Women put up counter-ads saying, "Hate speech is not civilized. Support peace in word and deed." The United Methodist Church, General Board of Church and Society signed the pro-ISNA and pro-MPAC letter.
The Interfaith Center of New York organized a joint condemnation of the ads. One of the media contacts in its press release was Muneer Awad, Executive Director of CAIR. Sponsors included ISNA, the Muslim Day Parade (which featured extremism offensive enough to make a Democratic State Senator to walk off the stage) and two groups founded by Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the Cordoba Initiative and the American Society of Muslim Advancement. Rauf, who supports the elimination of Israel, is a Vice Chairman of the Interfaith Center of New York. The Interfaith Center is also a member of Shoulder-to-Shoulder and endorsed the March 13 letter to Mayor Bloomberg.
The WESPAC Foundation also endorsed the condemnation. It was the sponsor of a Viva Palestina event in Manhattan on July 14, 2009. This is an Islamist group led by the ferociously anti-American George Galloway and it is friendly with Hamas. Its website condemns the "continuing injustices by the U.S. and Israel" and a "permanent end" to U.S. military aid to Israel. It demands that Israel release "all Arab political prisoners" and end "ethnic cleansing" and "collective punishment."
"We also affirm the right of all people to resist occupation and oppression," the WESPAC website says. That sounds like an endorsement of violence, especially considering that WESPAC sponsored Viva Palestina. WESPAC depicts the U.S. as an evil imperialist nation, standing against the "illegal invasion and current occupation" of Iraq and Afghanistan and "larger U.S. strategies for hegemony in the region including Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan."
The double-standard here is unbelievable. WESPAC had anti-Israel ads put up in New York City subways on September 5, 2011, including one with a photo that gave the impression that an Israeli soldier was using his gun to intimidate three women. The pro-Israel activist group, Stand With Us, responded with its own pro-Israel ads demanding that the Palestinian Authority stop teaching hate.
At that time, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority said both ads fell under the First Amendment. This time, the MTA lost a court battle when it tried to stop the pro-Israel, anti-jihad ads from being posted. Now, it has changed its rules so it can reject ads that "imminently incite or provoke violence or other immediate breach of peace."
The leader of Jews Against Islamophobia, Maureen Silverman, took part in the interfaith condemnation of the ads. Her organization is actually a coalition consisting of three groups: Jewish Voice for Peace, Jews for Racial and Economic Justice and Jews Say No!
The lattermost group is saying "no" to Israel. It stands in "opposition to the siege of Gaza and to Israel's oppression of the Palestinian people." It boasts of sending aid to the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip and promotes the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign against Israel. Its website links to two reports defending the innocence of the Muslim Brotherhood affiliates and even the Brotherhood itself. For this group, this fight is about Israel. Fighting "Islamophobia" is just the method.
Three other groups involved in the fight against the ads are the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding and Rabbis for Human Rights-North America. Each one signed at least one of the letters written in the campaign to defend the Brotherhood affiliates.
These groups want to frame the issue as one they can win on: Islamophobia. But that isn't the real issue here. For some, the issue is American support for Israel. For others, it's their desire to enjoy the affection of the Brotherhood groups that want to take this opportunity to bash one of their critics.

November 1998
Blues Fallin' Down Like Rain
Unlike Michael Hill, who is carving out his own niche in the blues with fresh, original material, Kenny Neal plays the part of revivalist onBlues Fallin' Down Like Rain (Telarc 83435; 41:55). Covers of blues chestnuts like Jimmy Reed's "Big Boss Man," Guitar Slim's "The Things That I Used to Do" and Willie Dixon's "My Babe" and "I'm Ready" are well intentioned but ultimately pointless. The original versions, made widely available by ambitious cd reissue programs, are infinitely better. An adequate guitarist and harmonica player with a rough-hewn vocal delivery, the Louisiana native stakes out his own territory on originals like the loping shufle "Full-Time Fool" and the funky harmonica showcase "Strike While the Iron Is Hot." The title track and the closer, "Can't Say I Didn't Try," fall into that minor key confessional blues soap opera mode that fans of Robert Cray may connect with. But this disc doesn't do it for me.

When thinking about habits that are good for the cardiovascular system, exercise, healthy eating and avoidance of tobacco often come to mind. News sources are now reporting that sexual activity may be added to the list.
EverydayHealth.com recently featured an article on the subject, citing a 2010 study which revealed that men who had sex twice weekly had a lower chance of developing heart disease, compared to counterparts who only did the deed once every month.
"If you have a healthy heart, you are more likely to have frequent sex, and a healthy sex life may also decrease your heart attack risk factors," said E. Dean Nukta, M.D., medical director of interventional cardiology at Fairview Hospital, a Cleveland Clinic Hospital, quoted by the news source.
MSNBC also reported on the link between cardiovascular wellness and sex. The news source listed stress relief, endorphin production and mood rejuvenation as reasons why intercourse may benefit the heart.
However, cardiovascular benefits are likely to be outweighed by stress and other physical symptoms if an individual becomes infected with a sexually transmitted disease, a fact which underscores the need for regular testing and condom use.

Keep fit, spend all your money and make sure your children don't abandon you
The woman in the mobile-phone shop greets me in a voice you might use to a backward child. "Would you like to look at the cheaper models?" she says, unbidden. I follow her to the very back, to the £30 pay-as-you-go section. "So what do you need your mobile phone for?" Again that tone: kindness pleached with condescension, a top note of impatience. "You know, phoning," I say. "And maybe a bit of texting." I point out a basic model and, as I pay, she asks: "Would you like me to put it together for you?" I grunt no. "I

The English Defence League (EDL) suffered a humiliation in Aarhus, Denmark, where it arrived to set the stage for the rather grand sounding pan-European anti-Islamic Movement. Problem for the EDL'ers is that they couldn't attract the numbers. The turnout was so poor in fact, anti-fascist demonstrators outnumbered EDL supporters twenty-to-one.
Estimates suggested as few as 160 defence league members from several countries gathered at the inaugural far-right summit in Aarhus for the European counter-jihad meeting, devised to "send a clear message to the leaders of Europe" that Islamism would not be tolerated.
EDL leader Tommy Robinson admitted only 15 supporters from England made the trip, despite earlier speculation that hundreds might attend. By comparison, an anti-fascist demonstration in the same city, to protest against the arrival of the EDL, attracted up to 4,000 people.
When the EDL tried something similar in Amsterdam in 2010 the turnout was also dismal. They were outnumbered by vocal anti-racist supporters and Ajax fans who wanted them to take a hike.
The anti-fascist showing in Aarhus was impressive. Projekt Antifa, the anti-fascist coalition, organized transportation to the demo in Denmark.
Anti-fascist demonstrators in Aarhus
The low EDL turnout isn't just restricted to Aarhus. There has been a falling off of support on home turf also. Fewer would-be crusaders prepared to hit the bricks. In fact the numbers have fallen off to the degree that British police have been advised by the think tank, Demos, to downgrade estimates of EDL marches and demonstrations. According to Demos the EDL inflates estimates of attendees.
The EDL and similar groups offer no real solutions. The identity politics of these groups is divisive - a dead-ender. It heightens suspicion and alienation at a time when the Eurozone - given economic challenges - badly needs people to pull together. Who wants a divided society with crypto-fascists and others with narrow nationalistic agendas driving Muslim communities further into a defensive posture. It's a recipe for disaster... one unfortunately pushed by misguided people who use their websites to spread alarm and fuel suspicion about European Muslims.

Keys to Good Cooking
Keys to Good Cooking By Harold McGee, Penguin, 2010. Paperback. $20; 552 pages
The odd thing about McGee's epic book of kitchen wisdom: It's as enjoyable when read as a book as it is used as a reference. Sure, it's an exceptionally valuable guide. If you're looking to cook a turkey, the Meat chapter will give the pros and cons of brining and the lowdown on roasting whole birds, as well as a few pertinent and immutable truths about meat cookery in general. This is not kitchen dogma handed down from on high: This is the nation's preeminent food scientist clearly explaining the hows—and more importantly, the whys—of cooking.
But if you truly love cooking, have an inquisitive mind, and want to broaden your culinary knowledge, it's an absolute blast just picking a chapter and reading it start to finish. The book is an assembly of excellent tips, sometimes loosely organized, and reads like the CliffsNotes of a culinary master class.
GIVE THIS TO: Cooking nerds looking to up their game. —Tim Cebula

Civil War Veteran Honored in Watertown
A civil war veteran and Watertown resident was honored Saturday, more than 80 years after his death.
Private Asa Forbes was honored with a military headstone on his grave at the North Watertown Cemetery. Asa joined the army at the age of 16 and even fought at Gettysburg, but never had a military headstone. A regiment from the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War was there to dedicate the stone in a short ceremony along with members from the Copenhagen Legion.
"We researched and found Asa Forbes, my third great grand father, and his role in the Civil War and I was kind of proud of that," said Chad Miller, ancestor.
Asa died in 1927 at the age of 82 in Ogdensburg.

Sarkozy's son in 'antisemitic' satire
The son of French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been plunged into the centre of a national controversy after he was attacked by a satirist for planning to marry a Jewish woman.
In his article, cartoonist Siné mocked the political agenda of Jean Sarkozy, and implied the young man had decided to wed a Jew and convert to Judaism in order to push forward his career.
"Jean Sarkozy, natural son of his father and already councillor within his party, who was discharged at court in a hit-and-run accident with his motorbike, has left the court room under applause," he wrote.
"The prosecutor requested his discharge. Well, one must stress the plaintiff was an Arab! And that's not all: he just announced he will convert to Judaism before marrying his fiancée, a Jew, and heiress of the founders of the Darty stores. This boy has some future," continued Siné in the July 9 issue of the Charlie Hebdo satirical newspaper, a page which it seems had not been passed to the editor for review.
The affair may have gone unnoticed in a newspaper renowned for its jibes, but journalist Claude Askolovitch denounced it as antisemitic and the newspaper's manager Philippe Val admitted the article was offensive and requested an official printed excuse from the satirist.
But the latter refused. "Saying I'm sorry to Sarkozy and Darty? I might as well cut off my balls," he replied, before being fired by Mr Val.
And the cartoonist got support from various public figures who argued he had the right to express himself. Some 3,000 people signed a petition in favour of Siné, arguing that the manager had displayed double standards, because Charlie Hebdo is famous for its satirical stance.
The newspaper had published the Danish cartoons of Prophet Mohammad and was sued for doing so by various Muslim associations. Mr Val pleaded for hours in court in favour of the controversial drawings.
But Mr Val said "criticising religion, any religion, is not the same as criticising someone for what they are".
"That is an unspoken rule at Charlie Hebdo," he wrote in a column after the recent controversy. He added that Jean Sarkozy's conversion to Judaism was a mere rumour.
French newspapers have been divided on the issue but most of them criticised Siné and pointed out that he had, in the past, been condemned for allegedly antisemitic remarks.
Those who defended the cartoonist counter that he was fired for his far-left, pro-Palestinian political views and that his latest article was merely an excuse. They accuse Mr Val of harassing his employees and defending a pro-Israeli position.
The Jewish umbrella group CRIF issued a press release in support of Mr Val, saying that the controversy had turned into a hate campaign against the editor.
Intellectual Bernard-Henri Levy said that people were focusing on Mr Val's decision to fire the cartoonist, instead of trying to understand why Siné's remarks were antisemitic.

The LSU Tigers provided the Purple & Gold faithful with some reasons for cautious optimism Saturday night, against Vanderbilt, however their play at certain positions remain a cause for concern.
Overall, the Tigers improved over last week in their understanding that the game is played for 60 minutes, as evident by their hard and heads-up play for the duration. They also developed some semblance of a consistent running game, spreading the rushing wealth over a number of running backs with Stephan Ridley leading the way.
On the negative side of the ball, the quarterback position remains more of a liability than an asset, especially with the wealth of talent at wide receiver. Ball security improved somewhat, but also needs to get better.
Here are six thoughts for consideration, based on observations from the Vandy game, as the Tigers move on to their first home game against Mississippi State at 2 – 0:

The Smurfs were created by the Belgian comic artist Peyo in 1958. The race of little blue people later starred in a successful Hanna-Barbera animated series, which ran from 1981 until 1990.
Some of the Smurfs, including Papa Smurf and Brainy, appeared along with Baby Kermit, Baby Piggy, and Baby Gonzo in the 1990 animated television special Cartoon All-Stars to the rescue.
- In The Smurfs 2011 movie, an unauthorized Elmo walk-around is seen on the streets of New York, and the Smurfs thought it was a red troll. The Muppet Whatnot Workshop is also seen in the background of another scene, when Gargamel is thrown out of the elevator at FAO Schwarz.
- In episode 205 of Muppets Tonight, Don Rickles is hired by Ernst Stavros Grouper to act as therapist and boost company morale. Rickles reports after having met with the Muppets: "I talked to your happy little Smurf friends."
During the time that The Smurfs aired Saturday morning's on NBC, they appeared in a print ad together with the Fraggles, as well as with characters from Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears, ALF, Alvin & the Chipmunks, The New Archies, Foofur and more, all hanging out in the "world-famous NBC commissary."

Got My Student Permit!
This has been planned long time ago but since of busy schedule I am not able to get a student permit until yesterday! Finally, I and my husband were able to go to the Land Transportation Office to get my student permit. Process and requirements were not that difficult.
What is needed for the Student permit?
Birth certificate
Marriage Certificate (if married)
• They will return the birth certificate if you are married already.
ID Picture – can be 1×1 or 2×2
Filled up application form
Just get an application form at the booth near the entrance by giving your birth certificate, fill up the form and place it on the tray at the window of the same booth
Wait for your name to be called and other requirements, they will ask you to wait again.
When your name is called again, the application form will have a mark already, you can proceed to window 6.
Submit the form and just wait for your name to be called.
When your name is called it will be for photo and signature taking
Wait again, until your name is called for payment at the cashier
After paying, you just need to wait again for the release.
Php 318.00 for the application, and P20.00 for the case of the student permit but of course that is optional only.
It took us around one hour to complete the process. There was a lot of people but the system is good already, one just need patience while waiting though the television without audio is good enough to entertain the people who are getting their licenses. On the way home, we passed on several shops, that I saw some burlap drapes that is being sold. But there was no time to drop by since we are going to process other things.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

thanks to the AM/PM I am suffering NO menopause symptoms. Before, I was having hot flashes all day and night. I wasn't sleeping either. Now I am not having any hot flashes and I am sleeping all night. I have also included Hot Flash too.

This product has saved my health, sanity and marriage!! Prior to discovering this formula I was waking every two hours in a complete sweat (in WINTER) and during the day thought I was on fire at times. I am on to my third week only and have seen a huge difference in my health-No night disturbances, very few flashes in the day, improved mood. I have the energy to go out running like I used to and have been very happy with the results. Thank you iherb!
terrible product..

Reviews of this property
Very good service from Laia & Mohammed. The appartment is very well located. What we would like to recommend is : please install a (movable) airconditionner & replace of clean the sofa.
Apart from these 2 (small) remarks, we were very pleased about this appartment and we are especially very happy with the good service received from Laia & Mohammed
Reviews for this host's other properties
1. Nice and clean apartment
2. Good location
3. Good organization of check-in
4. No additional fee (deposit)
5. Unfortunately, poorly soundproofed apartment
Apartment is on great location..right in the heart of Barrio Gottico and it's perfect for exploring the city! It's close to beach and all sightseeing places. Close you have many bars, restaurants and 24/7 markets. Apartment building is renovated and looks good. Apartment is clean and new with new furniture and fully equipped kitchen. Bed linen and towels are clean. Reception staff is friendly and helpful. Only negative thing for us was there was no wifi in apartment even they granted one in description. Reception staff said it's not working temporarily but we staid for 6 days and it didn't work any day. Every day they were saying that it will work from tomorrow but it never did. That was so frustrating! I asked to move us to another apartment where there was wifi, they said they will check and let us know but they never did. So advice for all future guests- check the wifi when you come to apartment!
Everything was very good with this apartment. Good communication by the host and the location was especially good. We were attending a game at Camp Nou and it is very pleasant walk there. Plenty of places to eat and shop. I highly recommend it.
Clean spacious apartment comfortable and very quiet, ideal for 4 people, located in a residence near the center of Barcelona, 5 minutes walk from the subway.
The staff at the reception is very nice and helpful with any information you need.
If we come back to Barcelona certainly we will contact Laia & AinB team.
Nice apartment with everthing I needed. Great location - very central. Thanks.
We had a great weekend in Barcelona. The apartment is nice, clean and big and it has a nice view on the street of Barcelona. Location is also great, very close to centrum and Barcelona Saint Station.
A very nice flat. We had a wonderful stay there.
Great Flat
Brilliant location, clean with all you need appartment. Had a great time and will try to book this appartment again when we go to Barcelona next time.

Lenovo Thinkpad T61
The Lenovo notebook that takes part in our today's test session belongs to a slightly different category than the previous two solutions. Nevertheless, we decided to include it in this article because it will help us demonstrate what
In fact, the size of Lenovo Thinkpad T61 is very similar to that of Asus A8Sc, however the exterior design of our hero wouldn't let us compare them side by side with the Asus solution. Lenovo Thinkpad T61 is another example of classic looks developed by IBM many years ago. It is made of solid black plastic that is pleasantly velvety to the touch on the outside and grainy on the inside, with sharp edges and corners. In other words, a "black box". However, Thinkpad brand fans hardly expect anything else.
However, you shouldn't be misled by the classic looks of the Lenovo Thinkpad T61: it is stuffed with some very progressive components –
Despite pretty typical configuration, Lenovo Thinkpad T61 costs a little more than the Asus A8Sc we have already talked about before, because the Lenovo notebook boasts a few additional advantages. Firstly, it is equipped with 1GB Intel Turbo Memory module that speeds up the boot time for the most frequently used applications. Secondly, the notebook is equipped with a biometric fingerprint sensor, a TPM module and supports Intel AMT remote management technology that defines it as a Centrino Pro solution. And thirdly, the case of this mobile computer doesn't just look originally, it is also enhanced with a special Top Cover Roll Cage cell structure that protects its when dropped. By the way, the hard disk drive in Lenovo Thinkpad T61 is also set in a special anti-shock chassis with an overload sensor that parks the heads in case of emergency.
The screen of the Thinkpad T61 is also unusual. Despite its standard 14-inch size it supports better widescreen resolution than most of the competitors: 1440x900. Lenovo doesn't use mirror matrix finish in their Thinkpad series, which prevents the screen from flashing in the sun or bright light. There is a spot above the screen for a web-cam, which was absent in our configuration. The status LEDs are right below the screen and they are of noble green color instead of traditional blue.
The keyboard of this solution can undoubtedly be regarded as one of the best in the industry. It is not only highly reliable and moisture protected, it features large convenient keys and ergonomic layout. Besides a standard set of keys, Lenovo Thinkpad T61 keyboard also has a few additional Back and Forward keys built into the pointer control set. There are 4 additional keys above the keyboard: three for sound volume control and one for launching brand name software suite.
Another traditional Thinkpad's peculiarity is the availability of a trackpoint manipulator besides the traditional touchpad. Unfortunately, being so close to the touchpad, the trackpoint sets certain limitations. Namely, the touchpad work surface is too small, which you can really feel especially due to large screen resolution. However, the trackpoint featuring three keys (the middle one enabling scrolling) can make up for this drawback.
Unfortunately, Lenovo Thinkpad T61 cannot boast the same variety of ports and interfaces as many other notebooks of the same size and weight. Its sides only carry three USB ports, an IEEE1394 port, D-Sub out for external monitor, two analogue audio-jacks, Gigabit network port and modem connector. Moreover, there are external slots for PC Card and ExpressCard that may be replaced with a card-reader in some configurations. I have to admit that the few connectors are also not very conveniently located. USB ports are aimed vertically, while the headset and mic connectors are situated on the very front edge of the notebook.
As for wireless interfaces, Lenovo Thinkpad T61 supports Bluetooth 2.0 and features Intel 4964AGN adapter that enabled Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g.

WASHINGTON — Bryan Price didn't want to get into his pep talk before the fourth inning yesterday — but nearly three hours later, Brayan Pena was still pumped up about it.
"That was awesome. That was great," Pena said. "He really torched us. He gave us some motivation and got us really fired up. … It was very clutch from the skipper."
Whatever Price said, it worked, as the Reds scored two runs in the inning and went on to defeat the Nationals 2-1 in front of 28,944 at Nationals Park.
Price gathered his players before the fourth inning — and although no one would go into the details, and Price downplayed it, his message was clear: The team needed to do better.
