About the Book
Dewey Marriss is stuck in the middle of a crunch.
He never guessed that the gas pumps would run dry the same week he promised to manage the family's bicycle-repair business. Suddenly everyone needs a bike. And nobody wants to wait.
Meanwhile, the crunch has stranded Dewey's parents far up north with an empty fuel tank and no way home. It's up to Dewey and his older sister, Lil, to look after their younger siblings and run the bike shop all on their own.
Each day Dewey and his siblings feel their parents' absence more and more. The Marriss Bike Barn is busier than ever. And just when he is starting to feel crunched himself, Dewey discovers that bike parts are missing from the shop. He's sure he knows who's responsible—or does he? Will exposing the thief only make more trouble for Dewey and his siblings?
Award-winning author Leslie Connor has created another timely family story infused with humor and hope.

A PARTIAL HISTORY OF LOST CAUSES by Jennifer Dubois 0
I think that I could probably subsist on a reading diet of first novels. Finding a new writer whose work I love reassures me that the end of storytelling is nowhere near. I felt this way recently when I encountered Jennifer DuBois's Partial History of Lost Causes on the shelves of my local book store. Two people find their lives intersecting: a former chess prodigy who decides to challenge Vladimir Putin for the Russian presidency and an American woman in her 20s who knows her life is going to be cut short by Huntington's disease. We are first introduced to Aleksandr Bezetov in 1979, when he arrives in what was then Leningrad to attend a chess academy. We meet Irina Ellison in 2006, shortly after her father's difficult death from the genetic disease that will likely kill her, too. When she discovers in her father's papers an old (and apparently unanswered) letter from her father to Bezetov asking him how he copes with those games he knows he's going to lose, she decides on the spur of the moment to go to Russia and see if she can confront Bezetov and have him answer her father's question. I can't remember reading another novel—at least not recently—that's both incredibly intelligent and also emotionally engaging. I really cared about Irina and Bezetov: their attempts to outrun (or at least accept) their individual fates was both moving and tragically real.

Having quizzed Activision Publishing's CEO about Skylanders Swap Force, we had a chance to get an opinion from the other side of the retail fence. Jerry Storch is the CEO and Chairman of Toys R Us and knows a thing or two about the toy business.
As you can see in the interview he also knows his beans when it comes to Skylanders Swap Force. He told us how he had worked with Skylanders for a number of years before it was released, even taking his wife with him to see the game on some trips.

Shelley Man Wins Syfy's 'Face Off'
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - A man from Shelley is celebrating some national fame tonight.
Rayce Bird was named the winner of the Syfy network show ?Face Off.? On the show, contestants create special effects, masks and intricate makeup like the stuff you see on TV and in the movies.
Bird is a tattoo artist at the Spider?s Web in Idaho Falls, but he said he doesn?t like to say he?s any one thing ? he?s just a creative guy by trade.
He said he almost didn?t audition for the show.
?Going into it, I was actually intimidated because I talked to all the other guys, and they were like, ?Yeah I've got this much experience and I've worked on these shows,?? he said. ?And here I was. I didn't do any of that, you know? So there was a part of me thinking, ?Why the heck they even let me on the show??"
Bird?s prize was $100,000, a new car and $25,000 worth of makeup.
Bird said he?s known since October that he won the contest, and he?s happy he can finally talk to people about it.
To see more of Bird?s art, see http://www.raycebird.com

I wouldn't be surprised if Mao's Triple Axel never gets ratified ever again. She spent her entire Olympic season focusing on the Triple Axel and even after that, with all of the emotion of the Olympics pushing her on, her Triple Axels were still not as good as they were 3-4 years ago. Her body is getting more worn out and her focus is also on things other than the Triple Axel these days. That's my predication for now - her 3Axel is always going to be downgraded from now on. If she can still land it cleanly the jump will be worth keeping in her repertoire, but if she continually has problems with the landing we will see her drop it from her programs a couple seasons from now.
I would like to see Kevin Reynolds win. I have criticized his skating in the past but he has made a lot of improvements this season, and his quads are fantastic. We know he can put up a huge score in the SP, he just needs to keep it together in the long.

TEB may just produce the largest TIE in Figure Skating history expecially in the Ladies Division. The Finalists from that TIE will be based on one of the highest scores from the 5 other contests. Problem is the scores from the 5 other contests are arrived at unequally. Not really a good TIE breaker. Skaters who tie, should have another contest to break the tie.
Lol. Mao is not pushed by any skater to do the triple axel. It's a jump she has being doing since she was like 12, so of course it's a special jump for her. But I disagree that she's obsessed with it or else she would not have started revamping her other jumps. She could have saved the risks by just continuing with her previous layouts.
Mao should be able to fall three times and still win. IMO she is every bit the skater Chan is - and for me a better artist.
So I will be watching to see if the CoP rewards Mao for the same overall skating abilty they have been showering Chan with this season.
If not - then the ISU/CoP loses credibilty in my eyes. Let;s hope for some consisitent judging - even if it is wrong. Atleast we will get a feeling back as fans for how to rate the skaters.
Mao is such a beautiful skater and so much better than the others she should be able to fall on her 3A in the SP and fall 2-3 more times in her LP and still win.
Just the way Chan does.......
The ISU is really screwing her. They changed the flutz rule when she was at her best, then changed it again after she reworked them.
As for Mao ever beating 228.5 all I have to say is good luck.
It's funny to read some posts. Hey you have other ideas that can describe how much Yuna is/was a very talented skater.
I dunno, reading this thread reminds me how meaningless it is for Mirai to win TEB and advance to the final.
It simply pales in comparison to skating well at Natls and earning a second shot at Worlds.
I feel the same way about Mao who most likely could care less about missing the GPF.
Her hopes, unlike a few fans here is to peak at Worlds and for better or worse try and show her best skating of the year there.
Soon the GP season will be over - and the real season will start.
I like the GP - and it is entertaining to see the skaters working their way into shape for the important events that follow.
What I look forward to is Worlds. Can Mao win a third WC? Can she get a step closer to Michelle and the other legends who won five WCs?
Or will Yuna show up and show she is still the best?
The GPF will be a battle bewtween second tier skaters. I will watch, will enjoy it - but won't make it more than what it is - a luck of the draw type of pre-$eason tournament.
Natls sets the stage for the most important event of the year - the WC.
The Euros have a nice tournament with a long traditon leading into Worlds.
IMO 4CC should be abandoned and the Asians and N.Americans can choose to have their own Worlds tune-up = Asian Championship and N. American Championship.

Murad Eye Creams
Treatments for Anti-Aging Eye Care
Have you begun to notice the first signs of fine lines and wrinkles or crow's feet around your eyes? The sensitive skin near the eye area is often the first place that the signs of aging on skin begin to appear. This area of skin is thinner than the skin on the rest of your face and, unlike most of your body, does not have sweat or oil glands. In order to minimize and combat wrinkles and fine lines around your eyes, use an eye cream that hydrates, firms, helps to protect against environmental damage that can accelerate aging skin. Murad offers a complete line of eye creams that address all of your aging skin concerns around your eyes. Murad eye care products, as part of an Inclusive Health™ lifestyle, can give you firmer, more youthful eyes that look Better Every Day®.
Effective treatments for getting rid of Bacne (Back Acne) and Body Acne
If you've ever experienced back acne or body acne, then you know it can be tough to treat because the skin on your back has larger oil (sebaceous) glands, is tougher than the skin on your face and is covered by clothing for most of the day. Here are some tips and acne treatment products for back and body acne.

A modern novel of liberty to rival Rand's Atlas Shrugged...a masterwork. -- Vin Suprynowicz, Las Vegas Review-Journal.

"The most important work of fiction I have read in over a decade."
-- Dr. Edgar Suter, Chairman of Doctors for Integrity in Policy Research
After the repeal of Prohibition, Congress passes an obscure federal gun law, written to promote massive noncompliance and thus give idled Prohibition agents something to do. Three decades later, a boy born into a well-to-do family becomes immersed in shooting sports, and firearms become his lifelong passion. An expert with rifle and pistol who gives free personal protection classes to women, Henry Bowman is just one of the millions of people who comprise America's "gun culture." Because of his upbringing, Henry is sensitized to government's capacity to abuse its power. As years pass, Henry watches continued federal assaults on the gun culture with growing alarm. Concurrently, Henry's adult life intersects with the lives of two very different people: Cindy, a woman whose instincts for self-preservation help her survive virtual slavery inside an organized crime syndicate, and Ray, a lawyer who left the U.S. in 1963 and returns thirty years later. Now near middle age, Henry is alone at a friend's house one night. He uses his skills to thwart an armed break-in only to discover that the assault was not a burglary but a raid. Henry's victims are not street criminals but federal agents, and with mounting horror he listens to the captive survivors describe the operation they were carrying out. With the Ruby Ridge killings and the Waco massacre burned into his memory, Henry knows he has just given himself a death sentence. He faces the law enforcement assets of the entire U.S. Government as the country's future hangs in the balance. Despite the odds, Henry has no intention of becoming a martyr. Henry Bowman is a resourceful man with money, intelligence, and motivation, and he has history on his side.
John Ross (shown above in Denver, October 20, 2001) is an investment broker and financial adviser in St. Louis, Missouri. He has degrees in English and Economics from Amherst College in Amherst, Massachusetts.

Who here likes Vaporeon?
This signature is now officially G L O R I O U S
Ampharos is pretty boss
I don't love vaporeon I LOVE ALL THE EEVEELOUTIONS BABY!
Greymon is pretty cool as well
Of all the Eeveelutions, I liked Umbreon and Vaporeon the most. Both are decent walls
I personally like Vaporeon and Sylveon the best, but that's just my opinion. I do also like Jolteon.
The last order is hateful in its unnecessary clarity
'Tomorrow, your death is sealed
No matter how much you fight it'
Fizzy Bubbles
I like Espeon.
I have a soft spot for PINK Pokémon...
Espeon isn't pink. It's light purple/lavender.
Espeon is more of a lilac color to me, personally.
The last order is hateful in its unnecessary clarity
'Tomorrow, your death is sealed
No matter how much you fight it'
Fizzy Bubbles
Since when do the people in this thread actually talk about Pokemon?
Espeon seems lavender to me.
Espeon is purple. Mew is pink.
To make it clear, if you PM me, I get an email. I do not use this site anymore.
If you PM me I will do my best to get back to you.
I like all the Eeveelutions in all honesty, though I'm pretty meh on Glaceon and Leafeon.
My faves are probs Vaporeon and Umbreon in terms of how they look.
I like Flareon and Vaporeon out of them all though I am fond of each of the Eeveelutions.
I like Sylveon XD although doesn't everyone >.> least for naow

I have 2 Friend codes I use about equally. One is 4055-3723-1345 and the other is 0576 3520 6954. I'll try to mention which one to look for when needed, if I don't then ask.
I try to train pokemon with the best natures and IVs, but generally don't breed for IVs and occasionally use a pokemon that could have a better nature out of laziness (on the other hand I have reset or recaught the same species 20+ times to get the best nature and decent IVs sometimes). I somewhat do EV training, but don't calculate it out so it's perfect, just rely on the chart in the super training thing.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Very nice and cosy room with a wonderful view!
Great service and very friendly staff!
We stayed for our one week holliday in this room. And we whould do it again.
The included breakfast in the hostel (3 min walk) gives you a good basement for the day. Ercan was realy friendly and the comunication (in english) was great.
Like the descriptions of other users are telling, the view is breathtaking. The room it self is realy charming and the rest of the flat has a simple standard in comparision to german standard. The stareway up to the fifth floor is realy special. It feels a bit like Havana 20 Years ago. After a couple of days it feels like home.
We visited Istanbul in the middle of October 2015. I can imagine that in summertime the room can be very hot.
A nice room with a wonderful view in a big apartment.
I recommend it. Thanks Ercan.
The location is perfect and the place is lovely.
Although we've had unpleasant moment with staff. We were promised early breakfast (we had early flight). When we came there was nothing that looked like breakfast... It would be easier if we they just didn't promise.
The view from the window is stunning enough that I can recommend this stay. Also the location is great and the hostel staff friendly and helpful. The room was clean and even though you shouldn't expect luxury, everything is in good enough shape. More equipment for the shared kitchen would be a good idea. The stairway doesn't look good as others have stated, but it's not a real problem. Although choice for breakfast is not abundant, it's tasty (served in the hostel, which is a short distance away).
Several different rooms from this apartment can be found on wimdu. I got the 15m² one instead of the 25m² I booked, which wasn't a problem for me (in fact I didn't even realize it when I was there, so didn't ask about the reason), but confirming beforehand might be a good idea if you need the space.
Make sure you remember the entry of the house if you plan to come back late, because after the shutters are in front of the closed shops, the street looks quite different.
On the pro-side: The apartment has an amazing view on the Bosporus. It is a pleasure to wake up and go to sleep to this sight. The wooden floors, high ceilings and brick walls are lovely. Martin and the World hostel staff are friendly hosts and always available for quesions. Breakfast in the hostel is alright and a good start into the day.
On the con-side: The staircase of the apartment is rather dodgy and makes you feel relieved when you can close the door behind you. The bathrooms, toilets and towles are just fine but rather suitable for young travelers who don't expect much. Since Istanbul is a noisy city and the walls are paper thin - bring earplugs if you want a good night's sleep.
All in all: Excellent for a short trip to Istanbul on a budget.
The apartment has a very good location and the room was clean. The breakfast at the hostel was good. The other residents were a bit noisy, but bearable. From the house from the outside and the stairwell must not be deterred you look. For young people really recommended.
Die Wohnung hat eine sehr gute Lage und das Zimmer war sauber. Auch das Frühstück im Hostel war gut. Die anderen Bewohner waren manchmal etwas laut, aber ertragbar. Vom Haus von außen und dem Treppenhaus darf man sich nicht abschrecken lassen. Für junge Leute wirklich zu empfehlen.
Instead of a review I'd rather write a few tips, comments or tips that have been not yet or hardly mentioned. Since I have given 5 out of 5 points, it is clear what I think of this room (a dream), and thought of Martin and his colleagues in the hostel (very helpful and friendly).
This room is part of an apartment in the 7 rooms are rented. This can easily happen that you will be awakened by another at 6 clock, because the light in the back of the corridor automatically turns on and passes through the frosted glass of Zimmtür. Who has a light sleeper, may require ear plugs and a lack of sleep.
It was our first time in Turkey and we had to get used to it, that not all used toilet paper to be thrown into the toilet, but in a bucket, which stands next to it. So also in this apartment. It is advisable to bring own paper as an emergency reserve to.
The kitchen has a single pot and only one pan. The electric hob is tiny and outdated. The room is too small to eat there, and uncomfortable. There is (but) a large refrigerator. Most will go eat anyway. I can recommend a Falaffel -lunch who goes to the steep road about 200 high, in a narrow street on the right is.
Breakfast unfortunately only at 9 clock in the hostel (Turkish breakfast). The later, the more full. There are not so many places. Very international, young audience. In addition, a tiny cafe with coffee and cake (delicious).
A supermarket is located on the same street, after about 50Metern left. Good for basic equipment.
You can walk in 15 minutes from the apartment to the Museum of Modern Art (Istanbul Modern). Fantastic location with a café and exciting objects. To get to 10, the groups are about 12 clock. The ticket is valid for the whole day.
I could write more, but that is beyond the scope. But a very important detail I have to get rid of even mark your day, where the entrance is, because at night when all the shops are closed, the front door is closed, and you're running several times to get past it. With feeling also opens this lock.
PS. This room is great, but the room next door, which consists of two rooms, amazing! Have Fun!
Anstelle einer Bewertung schreibe ich lieber ein paar Tipps, Kommentare oder Hinweise auf, die noch nicht oder kaum genannt worden sind. Da ich 5 von 5 Punkte gegeben habe, ist klar,was ich von diesem Zimmer (ein Traum) und von Martin und seinen Kollegen im hostel halte (sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich).
Dieses Zimmer ist Teil einer Wohnung, in der 7 Zimmer vermietet werden. Dadurch kann es schon mal vorkommen, dass man von anderen um 6 Uhr geweckt wird, weil das Licht im hinteren Teil des Flures automatisch angeht und durch das Milchglas der Zimmtür fällt. Wer einen leichten Schlaf hat, braucht eventuell ohrenstöpsel und eine Schlafmangel.
Es war unser erster Aufenthalt in der Türkei und wir mussten uns daran gewöhnen, dass nicht überall benutztes Toilettenpapier in die Toilette geworfen werden soll, sondern in einem Eimer, der daneben steht. So auch in dieser Wohnung. Es ist ratsam, eigenes Papier als Notreserve sich mitzubringen.
Die Küche hat keinen einzigen Topf und nur eine Pfanne. Das elektro-kochfeld ist winzig und veraltet. Der Raum ist zu klein, um dort zu essen, und zu ungemütlich. Es gibt (aber) einen großen Kühlschrank. Die meisten werden sowieso unterwegs essen. Ich kann einen falaffel -Imbiss empfehlen, der, geht man die steile Straße etwa 200 hoch, in einem Gässchen auf der rechten Seite liegt.
Frühstück leider erst gegen 9 Uhr im hostel (türkisches Frühstück). Je später, desto voller. Es gibt nicht so viele Plätze. Sehr internationales, junges Publikum. Daneben ein winziges Café mit Kaffee und Kuchen (lecker).
Ein Supermarkt liegt in der gleichen Straße, schon nach etwa 50Metern links. Gut für die Grundausstattung.
Man kann von der Wohnung zum Museum für moderne Kunst (istanbul modern) in 15 Minuten laufen. Fantastische Lage mit Café und spannende Objekte. Am besten um 10 kommen, die Gruppen kommen gegen 12 uhr. Die Eintrittskarte ist für den ganzen Tag gültig.
Ich könnte noch mehr schreiben, aber das sprengt den Rahmen. Aber ein sehr wichtiges Detail muss ich noch loswerden: merke dir am Tag, wo der Hauseingang ist, denn nachts, wenn am alle Läden geschlossen sind, ist auch auch die Haustür verschlossen, und man rennt mehrmals dran vorbei. Mit Gefühl öffnet sich auch dieses Schloss.
PS. Dieses Zimmer ist toll, aber das Nachbarzimmer, das aus zwei Zimmern besteht, der Hammer! Viel Spaß!
Clearly recommendable. Very nice people. Very friendly welcome. Always helpful. We had a proper and comfortable, large room for the family ( couple + little boy ), and with a fantastic view over the Bosporus. Was like cinema. We will come again. Thanks and very best regards, Ute, Felix and Jörg

Comedy Central censors all references to Mohammed on "South Park"; Update: Parker and Stone issue statement
posted at 4:25 pm on April 22, 2010 by Allahpundit
As InstaGlenn says, this is actually the perfect ironic conclusion to the media's post-Tax Day binge of hyperventilating about tea party extremism. Cranks holding up "Impeach the Kenyan!" signs at a right-wing rally are grist for a thousand NYT op-eds about Oklahoma City, but have jihadis intimidate the parent company of one of the most highly regarded comedies on television into blacking out its shows and it's essentially a curio for the TV beat.
Comedy Central bleeped out all references to the Prophet Muhammad in Wednesday night's episode of the animated show "South Park."…
In addition to bleeping the words "Prophet Muhammad," the show also covered the character with a large block labeled "Censored."…
Abu Talhah al Amrikee, the author of the post [on the Muslim website threatening the creators of the show], told Foxnews.com he wrote the entry to "raise awareness." He said the grisly photograph of van Gogh was meant to "explain the severity" of what Parker and Stone did by mocking Muhammad.
"It's not a threat, but it really is a likely outcome," al Amrikee said, referring to the possibility that Parker and Stone could be murdered for mocking Muhammad. "They're going to be basically on a list in the back of the minds of a large number of Muslims. It's just the reality."
True enough, true enough. Mohammed also figured in last week's episode; he wasn't shown, per Comedy Central's policy in recent years of bowing to Islamic blasphemy laws, but his name was mentioned in the dialogue. This week, after the new threats from filthbags like al-Amrikee, even that was gone. So absurd was it that some South Park fans thought Trey Parker and Matt Stone might have bleeped the name themselves as a goof. Not so:
On Thursday morning, a spokesman for Comedy Central confirmed that the network had added more bleeps to the episode than were in the cut delivered by South Park Studios, and that it was not giving permission for the episode to run on the studio's Web site.
When you look for the episode on South Park's website, this is what greets you. One mystery lingers: In the final scene, in vintage SP fashion, a bunch of characters gave mini-soliloquies about the moral of the story. The twist this time is that they were all bleeped out — roughly 30 seconds' worth of airtime, filled with nothing but bleeps. I thought for sure that that had to be a joke — the moral of the story was how absurd censorship can be, and that was a perfect way to show it — but now I'm not so sure. Says the AP, "Comedy Central also censored 35 seconds' worth of a conversation toward the end of the show between the characters Stan, Jesus Christ and Santa Claus. The network wouldn't say Thursday whether this contained any reference to the warning [from jihadists]."
In lieu of a clip from the show, here's something from last week's Sarah Silverman Program goofing on Holocaust memorials that didn't need to be censored. Why? Because no one threatened to bomb Comedy Central for showing it.
|The Sarah Silverman Program
|Festive Holocaust Memorial
Update: Unbelievable.
In the 14 years we've been doing South Park we have never done a show that we couldn't stand behind. We delivered our version of the show to Comedy Central and they made a determination to alter the episode. It wasn't some meta-joke on our part. Comedy Central added the bleeps. In fact, Kyle's customary final speech was about intimidation and fear. It didn't mention Muhammad at all but it got bleeped too. We'll be back next week with a whole new show about something completely different and we'll see what happens to it.
So not only did Comedy Central censor the Mohammed stuff, but when they were called out for being cowards, they censored that too. Perfect.

Big and clean apartment (1st floor of a house), located in a pleasant residential area, in a quite central location to visit LA. The neighborhood is also convenient with the farmers' market, the Grove and many stores.
Perfect for 4 people, even 6 would be possible.
The House is located in a quiet and safe neighborhood and it is strategically situated next to Melrose Avenue with walking distanse to Hollywood Walk of Fame and Beverly Hills. But you need a car in L.A to get around anyway. The house is one of two apartments in a large house and you can hear your neigbours very well, especially if they are a having a party. The house is quite old and needs renovation, f.ex. is the heating system in the living room not reparable - no problem during most of the year, but quite cold during winter time, so the owner had to bring extra owens. The house has limited power capacity, so you have to be careful when you put all electricity on. The house is large an can easily host a family with 6+ and the owner brings extra beds as needed. For shorter stays and also during summer period, the house is probably great to rent.
It was a great experience and a great stay at your place.
I will come again.
It was impossible to contact the owner; she never answered our emails or phone calls. Finally got an email (After wimdu got involved) telling us that the key was in secure box by the door with a code for the box: Hellllo!!! the box was behind a locked screen door , impossible to get it. It took 1 1/2 hrs to sort this out on arrival after a long day in the air. A maintenance man finally open the door for us; we found him in a garage in the backyard. The place was spacious but property was questionnable; there was dust everywhere and it was obvious that the cleaning was done at a minimum.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We were given a different house as the photos show, I believe the owner has more than one property in this area.
The house is spacious, the furnitures are old but workable. We arrived after 5pm but the cleaner has just began to clean the house, which wasn't very enjoyable as we had to wait for more than 1 hour to actually check in.
Overall it's alright although there are still lots of things can be simply improved. Good for group of 4 or more to stay.
Angie's place was great !!
Angie's place was great !!

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
It is funny how foods come in and out of style. When I was little my aunt had a pomegrante tree. None of my friend even knew what they were. Now ( 35 years later) pomegrante juice is becoming availible in the supermarkets.
Australia has an interesting history with food. Much of what we eat is what was brought out to Australia by settlers from the UK and Europe over 200 years ago. They did not know about 'bush tucker', native edible plants and so persisted in developing crops comparitable to those they were familar with. As different cultures immigrated to Australia they brought with them their own specialitise.
The names we call our fresh produce is often that from the orginating country ie zucchini, wombok, galangal.
I am interested in heirloom vegetables, not only for their variety in taste but also for the preservation of genetic diversity.
My mum sometimes makes quince jelly. We get the quinces from two old trees (over 100years old) that mark the spot where my great grandparents house stood.
Mulberries are another old fashioned fruit that I'm trying to grow. Once again I used to gather these from a tree that was over 100 years old.

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
I love finding out about old fruit and veg that have been forgotten about. A few gardening companies in Australia sell heritage seeds and I love finding out about how many different varieties of things are out there - 200 varities of tomatoes, all different coloured carrot, etc.
I've never heard of Cardoon, though. I'll ask one of my favourite gardening companies about it and see if they've used it.
It sounds interesting, though, so hopefully they do have it.
I've just got all of my fruit trees planted so it's just about time to start on the veggies.

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
I love cardoons and some of the most memorable dishes I've tasted have been when they've been slow-cooked - in Moroccan lamb tagines, Greek beef and cardoon stews and Provencal gratins. If you're in a European or North African market and lucky enough to find them, buy a bunch to cook immediatly, you won't be disappointed with their earthy, bitter taste.

Hi Jamie!
This is my first message since I registered and I am still trying to get the hang of how this works...
Mmmmmm..., on the matter of forgotten vegetable and fruits, there are a few here in Indonesia... but I forget what's the name of it, hahaha...!
Oh yes, when you come to Indonesia? Because here lots of food that you can try to make although maybe not all the spices suitable for you and you have lots of fans in here...!!!
Add me to your MySpace Page and posted in MySpace page (email@example.com)...

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
Hi Jamie, here in the north of Spain is very usual eat cardo. Just have to boil the clean pieces of cardo. And then, in a sauce pan with olive oil, fry some chopedd garlic and then put some flour (to prepare the garlic bechamel white sauce), some milk and stir. Then put over the sauce the pieces of cardo, and serve hot with fryed almond slices or pine kernels. You can put some paprika in the sauce if you like a little bit hot flavour.
I hope you try it...
have fun!!

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
My dad grew cardoon plants, given to him by my grandfather, under the illusion he was growing artichokes. As a result we ate them much as you would a globe artichoke with a hot butter vinagerette sauce.
We discovered that the stems are more commonly eaten but must be blanched during growing.

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
Cardoon grows in the wild in Cyprus and was cleaned, and the globe was eaten in a variety of ways
- raw, with lemon squeezed on the top and a sprinkle of salt
- fried with eggs
- in risotto
and in a meat stew. All delicious.
Lucky for me, it grows wild here in Australia too! My unclie owns a few acres and every year, we go and pick these beautiful 'flowers', clean them and freeze them. We then take them out of the freezer all year round and enjoy this cullinary delight!
Has anyone tried ochrus vetch (louvana)?
Drizzled with olive oil, vinegar and salt is a delicacy!

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
hi Jamie
I have been cooking with seaweed ( sea vegetables) and we have Nori
to make laverbread in the traditional celtic style, there are lots of recipes on internet for nori fritters with oats.We dont have irish moss but something similar that produces carragheenan, for blancmange and puddings. its really delicious in ice-cream! can be used instead of eggs for egg-free cooking. gelidium is abundant but the method of extracting it is complex.
Kelp that lies on the beaches here makes excellent Jam , sliced and boiled with ginger and apples or grapes to a good consistency. leftover, dry kelp
feeds the soil in the garden organically. its also a natural tenderizer, so kelp
pieces go into the pot w hile cooking beans.
Please let me know if you would like to see and use
any or all of my recipes for a future book! I have published a few copies but
as yet it seems like the market isnt big enough for a publisher, locally.

USA Today poll: Support for legalizing gay marriage hits all-time high after Court rulings
posted at 5:31 pm on July 1, 2013 by Allahpundit
Sometimes the Court helps shape public opinion, other times it gets too aggressive on an issue and there's a backlash. If USA Today's right, the DOMA/Prop 8 rulings are a small example of the former rather than the latter.
"Neither one of those decisions is as a legal matter a huge gay rights victory," says Tom Goldstein, a Harvard Law School professor and publisher of SCOTUSblog, which analyzes the high court. "But it's the moral message from the court that these unions are entitled to equal respect … that is probably the lasting legacy of the decisions and is probably going to play a significant role in public opinion."…
By an unprecedented 55%-40%, Americans say marriages between same-sex couples should be recognized by law as valid, with the same rights of traditional marriage. That's the highest level of support since Gallup began asking the question in 1996. Then, fewer than half that number, 27%, backed the idea…
The only major demographic groups in which a majority oppose same-sex marriage are Republicans (68%) and seniors 65 and older (51%). Even in the South, which continues to be the only region that doesn't show majority support for gay marriage, opposition has slipped below 50%.
Interestingly, support for the Court's DOMA decision was split almost evenly at just 48/43. I'm not sure Tom Goldstein's right, then, that the "moral message" from the Court rulings nudged the numbers in favor of SSM up a few point. My hunch is that it was more the aftermath of the rulings, with lots of coverage of jubilant gay-rights supporters, that pushed the approval line upward. Seeing people exuberant over new rights they've been granted is apt to tilt a few fencesitters in favor of SSM, and hearing so many gays interviewed in the days after the ruling may have a normalizing effect on skeptics. I've seen polls before that show the single greatest factor in changing one's mind about gay marriage is knowing someone who's out. A surge in media coverage that gives plenty of airtime to people who are openly gay might have a smaller but similar effect.
I went looking for crosstabs because I'm fascinated by the fact that opposition to gay marriage is down to a bare 51 percent even among the 65+ crowd. I couldn't find any, but Harry Enten of the Guardian sent me the crosstabs to the last poll on gay marriage that USA Today's pollster conducted. Back in May, opposition among seniors was at 53 percent, but there was a sharp partisan split: Republican seniors opposed it overwhelmingly, 18/74, while Democratic seniors actually supported it, 47/42. Independent seniors were mildly opposed but otherwise similar to Democrats, 43/47. The subsample of seniors was small in each case, but if the numbers accurate, the percentage of older Republicans who oppose gay marriage is actually greater than the percentage of white evangelicals who do (23/72). Bear that in mind the next time you hear someone in the GOP brain trust say that the party needs to get with the times and capture younger voters by switching to supporting gay marriage. That's a smart (and inevitable) tactic long-term, but there are an awful lot of seniors in the GOP camp who seem to care a lot about this. Will younger voters replace them completely in 2016?

We could of signed Paul as a FA wouldnt need to trade for him.
stephen a must be trolling us but he said lebron likes the idea of playing with melo in NY.
if both melo and lebron opt in for their final year next year, it's a realistic possibility.
we have to hope wade breaks down more and more and the heat don't win this upcoming season.
I honestly don't know what the issue is with fans and what the knicks have done. Sometimes things dont work out, but to act like any fans or basketball experts weren't extremely optomistic about the knicks adding both Melo and Stat is utterly ridiculous. Its hindsight at its worst. Things don't work out sometimes, but at least the teams competitive now and with a possibly tweak here or tweak there can probably be even more competitive, which hopefully adding Bargniani and Hardaway Jr will do. Also, if it dosen't work, knicks will get a ton of money off the books at around the same time, so they can court a diffrent group of FA's if they have to. Shump, Hardaway Jr, Prig, Melo, Stat, Bargs, Chandler, Felton, and JR Smith is a pretty good nucleus of players.
ron artest is likely to be amnestied by the lakers and he wants to play for the knicks. the problem is someone under the cap might claim him. he has said he would retire if a bad team claims him so that may scare teams off.
adding artest for the vet min would be excellent.
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
don't see what happening? a team not claiming him? if he clears waivers he's a knick guaranteed.
Metta World Peace anyone?
Mood: WOOF!
Knicks need to get either Brand or KMart, a young, quick, defensive PG, and a legit back-up Center (maybe dalember of return of Mozgov?).
That pretty much fills the roster.
In the end, the only chance the Knicks have of being a contending team is if somehow Stat returns to being a great player.
All Hail The New York Giants!!

Following their most excellent iPad app from 2011, Ansel & Clair's Adventures in Africa, Cognitive Kid has now come out with a new iPad app, Ansel and Clair: Cretaceous Dinosaurs, as well as adapted their Adventures in Africa app to run on the iPhone. Both of the new apps are also lower in price than the original.
I reviewed the Adventures in Africa iPad app over at Common Sense Media last year, and of all the apps I reviewed there, it was one of the best done and most entertaining for its intended audience. The premise is that two aliens have arrived at Earth and want to learn all about the animals of Africa. They have also lost parts of their spaceship. You help them explore the Nile Valley, Sahara Desert, and Serengeti Plains, and take pictures, learning about animals and nature as you go, and finding their lost spaceship parts. You will see actual photos of wildlife, and learn the related vocabulary. You will also learn about different strategies animals use to survive, such as camouflage, migration, and diet. There are also several games and puzzles. By the time you're done, you've explored several different regions of the continent, and have a better understanding of the wildlife and nature there. You can also have more than one user profile, so all the kids can play without waiting for the previous one to complete the game. It's great for kids of all ages, because reading isn't required for most of the functionality. I love this app, and always recommend it to others.
Now Cognitive Kid has converted the original iPad app into an iPhone version. You still get to explore the same areas, you just get to do it on a more portable screen.

Shane van Gisbergen always said leaving the V8 Supercars wasn't a permanent decision. However, you'd have thought all the hype that he'd be racing in V8 SuperTourers ... no, the New Zealand Rally championships ... possibly the D1NZ drifting series ... or maybe speedway ... would have left little room for anything else.
Well, the busy Kiwi is getting even busier. In an exclusive chat with Driven earlier in the week, Tony Quinn - the Scottish-born multimillionaire behind VIP Petfoods and Darrell Lea Chocolates, who's a major backer of Aussie motorsport - revealed that not only would Van Gisbergen drive at the Bathurst 12-Hour Endurance event, he will also be back in a V8 Supercar.
When I spoke to Van Gisbergen at the last round of the 2012 V8 Supercar championship, he wanted downtime. There was also a remark from the young man that made a few sit up and wonder if his sabbatical might not last too long.
I asked if he'd miss V8 racing. He answered, "Ask me in a couple of months' time when I miss it all.
Maybe I'll be able to answer the question when I've had time to think."
The thinking is over. Not only will Van Gisbergen race in the domestic V8 SuperTourer series, he's heading back across The Ditch to play in the big boys' game again.
First up he will race at Bathurst in a couple of weeks with Quinn and his son, Klark, who recently was crowned Australian GT champion.
"We've [Tony and Klark] got a pretty good track record at Bathurst," says Quinn, "and driving a Porsche is a good thing as they're pretty reliable. It may not be as powerful as some of the others but the fuel economy will be better. The only problem we've really got is the difference in size.
"We've got a mammoth Kiwi, a little Scotsman and a little Australian. That'll be the only issue but the seat is adjustable to a certain extent.
"What won't be an issue is that none of us has a big head, so there'll be plenty of headroom."
Quinn says he'd struck a deal with Van Gisbergen to race the 2013 V8 Supercars series in the new Car of The Future for Tekno Autosport. The Kiwi will drive a VIP Petfoods-liveried Holden alongside Jonathon Webb.
"We started talking about it from the later half of October last year. It wasn't so much with Shane but more with Holden Motorsport.
"Obviously, he's going from a Ford via a Mercedes to a Holden. I had nothing to do with the perceived issues of last year and as far as I'm concerned VIP Petfoods is a big supporter of V8 Supercars.
"We want to be up the front and when the opportunity came along to get a top-five young driver we went for it."
Quinn brushed aside concerns about possible legal issues surrounding Van Gisbergen's move.
Quinn has known Webb and his team for a long time - the two, with Craig Baird and Klark, won the Dubai 24-Hour race in 2008.
Quinn has not bought into the Tekno team; he is the naming sponsor. When the V8 Supercars race in Austin, Texas, the car will have a new paint job promoting Darrell Lea Chocolates, which now sells confectionery in the States.
Another person who's happy with the deal is Van Gisbergen's manager, his dad, Robert.
"I've known the Webb family for a long time and they are very good people. They are a low-key outfit who have been after him for a while," Robert says.
"Shane doesn't want any drama, it's not the way he works. Holden have done a lot of work and are happy with the relationship and I reckon it'll be a good fit so he can just go racing."

- Heart Tumors
- Overview of Heart Tumors
- Myxomas
- Cancerous Heart Tumors
A myxoma is a noncancerous primary heart tumor, usually irregular in shape and jellylike in consistency.
Half of all primary heart tumors are myxomas. Three fourths of myxomas occur in the left atrium, the chamber of the heart that receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs. Myxomas usually develop in women, typically between the ages of 40 and 60.
Some uncommon types of myxomas run in families. These hereditary myxomas (part of Carney complex, a syndrome of various noncancerous tumors) usually develop in young men in their mid-20s, and they can occur in one or more of any of the chambers of the heart.
How a Myxoma Can Block Blood Flow in the Heart
Myxomas in the left atrium often grow from a stalk and swing freely with the flow of blood, as a tetherball does. As they swing, they may move in and out of the nearby mitral valve, the valve that opens from the left atrium into the left ventricle. This swinging motion may plug and unplug the valve over and over again, so that blood flow stops and starts intermittently.
Symptoms of Myxoma
When they stand, people with a myxoma in the left atrium may feel short of breath or may faint. When a person is standing, the force of gravity pulls the myxoma into the opening of the mitral valve, blocking blood flow through the heart. This blockage causes transient heart failure. Lying down typically causes the myxoma to move away from the valve and relieves the symptoms.
Pieces of a myxoma or blood clots that form on the surface of the myxoma may break off (becoming emboli), travel through the bloodstream to other organs, and block arteries there. The resulting symptoms depend on which artery is blocked. For example, a blocked artery in the brain may cause a stroke, and a blocked artery in a lung may cause pain and coughing up of blood. Emboli are the most common complications of myxomas.
Other symptoms of myxomas include fever, weight loss, joint pain, Raynaud syndrome (the fingers and toes become cold and painful when exposed to cold), a low red blood cell count (anemia), a high white blood cell count, and a low platelet count. Anemia may cause fatigue, weakness, and paleness. A low platelet count can cause problems with blood clotting.
Diagnosis of Myxoma
Myxomas are suspected based on the person's symptoms. With a stethoscope, doctors may hear a sound (heart murmur) produced by abnormal blood flow. The myxoma may block blood flow to or from the heart.
Because many symptoms of a myxoma may also be caused by many other disorders, extensive testing may be needed before a diagnosis is made.
Blood tests may show inflammation, anemia, and a low number of platelets in the blood. But none of these tests is conclusive.
The diagnosis is confirmed by echocardiography. Other procedures, including angiography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are sometimes necessary.

Here is a brief quiz to test your ability to correctly identify the emotion behind facial expressions. To take the quiz, click a numbered button below to view images of individuals. These images will change briefly to display an expression. After the expression has flashed click on the word that describes the expression you have identitied. If you were wrong, click on another word button until you are told you are right. After the expression has flashed, you can press the corresponding numeric key on your keyboard to hold the expression on the screen.
This interactive graphic is based on "The Micro Expression Training Tool" developed by Paul Ekman, PH.D., a professor of psychology at the University of California Medical School in San Francisco.
