For the optional essay, writing a long chronicle without any set agenda is a sure way to upset the application evaluator. As the note states, "It is not necessary to write this essay". Don't use it unless you have to. And if you have to, then be brief, concise and to the point.
Please do not use this as a platform to unload all of your insecurities and explain all your weaknesses, because ISB very strongly believes that people succeed irrespective of their weaknesses. Use it only to explain something that's important but that wasn't addressed elsewhere in the application.
Given that ISB reduced the number of essays this year from 3 to just 2, the optional essay may remain a critical tool to make up for the loss of opportunity to communicate more about yourself.
The optional essay prompt doubles up as the reapplicant essay if you applied to ISB in the past. ISB looked at your application then and they were not convinced at that point – so what changed since you last applied that you expect them to reconsider your application. Important projects that you worked on, new things that you learnt (at work or otherwise), new clients/industries you gained exposure to, additional training/certifications you gained – can all be a part of your reapplicant essay. Instead of being emotional and vague about how keen you are to make it to ISB (which a lot of candidates end up doing), discuss specific items and how it adds value.
It is possible that you reassessed your career goals since your last application and your plans are now further refined. We would recommend that you cover this in your career goals essay itself and provide good justification for this change in plans.
Overall, the reapplicant essay remains extremely important and you ought to pay good attention to this essay. Do not assume that things that you mentioned in your last application are communicated to the admissions team already. While they have access to the last application, they may not necessarily go back and go through it entirely. So if something is really important to you, feel free to repeat in your current application as well (probably with a new flavour).

We develop a methodology to estimate the potential economic benefits from new investments in regional coastal ocean observing systems in US waters, and apply this methodology to generate preliminary estimates of such benefits. The approach focuses on potential economic benefits from coastal ocean observing information within ten geographic regions encompassing all coastal waters of the United States, and within a wide range of industrial and recreational activities including recreational fishing and boating, beach recreation, maritime transportation, search and rescue operations, spill response, marine hazards prediction, offshore energy, power generation, and commercial fishing. Our findings suggest that annual benefits to users from the deployment of ocean observing systems are likely to run in the multiple $100s of millions of dollars per year. The project results should be considered first-order estimates that are subject to considerable refinement as the parameters of regional observing systems are better defined, and as our understanding of user sectors improves.

For third graders, what are the shapes for which perimeter and area will be tested?
For third graders:
Perimeter can be asked for any shape. They will have to use some kind of strategy to find the perimeter.
For area, it will be rectangle and square.
Should all answers be rounded to the nearest whole number (no fractions or decimals)?
Students do not have to round up all the answers unless it is relevant
to the question. For example if the question is how many people the
answer should be a whole number.
a follow up to Estimania question: So they may need to go out to the closest tenth or one hundredth of a decimal point? The detailed description guide only says the following:
Questions will ask for answers in a specific unit of measurement: participants will be asked to give an answer to the nearest inch, the nearest hour, the nearest liter,etc. Many 4th and 5th grade questions will require two steps: 1) estimating and calculating then 2) converting to the unit of measurement asked in the question.
The goal of the event is to make students estimate their answers using different strategies. That is why the description says to give the answer to nearest inch, the nearest hour, the nearest liter,etc. However, if the question does not specifically say to round up to the nearest whole number, the students can give their answers using decimals as long as the answer make sense (for example the answer cannot be like 1.5 boys or 52.75 cars etc). They will not be penalized for that. Besides answers that are within 0-5% deviation get full points.

Rheda -18k – high fantasy – complete
Status: subbing
Rheda's father is dead. Murdered or not, her only protection is no more. When she's forced into a betrothal with the huntsman – a man her entire village fears – she flees to the shadow of the forest. Deep within, she finds the wearg, a creature half-man half-wolf, but easier to trust than her own kind. With the huntsman at her heels trusting the wearg may be her only option – but it may cost her humanity.
A Once & Future Knight — SciFi
Status: revising/expanding
Back when there was a war on, Gawain was a soldier. Now he's Arthur's chief of security on the planet Camelot, center of the Pendragon system. His job mostly entails following Arthur around to mind-numbingly boring political meetings.
At least until an eight-foot-tall green pixie shows up in the middle of a feast, demanding that the king exchange blows with him.
Now Gawain's shoot-first-ask-questions-later has landed him – and Arthur – in hot water and it's going to take some unexpected (and unexpectedly hot) allies to unmask a conspiracy and make sure the system doesn't fall to pieces. Again.
Piece of cake.
In Secret Kept — high fantasy
Status: Draft complete, ~67k
Alodia Ramsay is caught between two worlds – the music of her mother's mountains and the sedate life of her father's flatlands. At her mother's death, Alodia's father forbids all music and betroths her to a man she's never met. The journey to her intended pulls Alodia away from her mountains, and the melody takes an unexpected turn when Alodia is abandoned in the middle of a forest haunted by cargasts, sad spirits. Here Alodia discovers the castle of the Lord Steward Rinan de Rathais. Though supposed dead Rinan is very much alive – and hell-bent on holding Alodia prisoner. As the days pass and Alodia's attempts to escape come to nothing, she begins to wonder if the Steward is as much a captive as she is – for the castle holds secrets, both bloody and ancient, and even once they escape to the mountains Alodia may have to make a pact with a demon to gain their freedom.

There are plenty of activities you can play to get Buy Neopoints. Therefore several, in fact, that people can spend months speaing frankly about them all. Instead, we've given you 5 of what we've discovered to be some of the greatest games in Neopets. This in number ways claims which games are the absolute most enjoyment to play, and you may find that you will be extremely gifted in enjoying a game title that is not on my list. Generally speaking, we have discovered these games to offer players the best opportunity at making the simplest, quickest Neopoints possible.
If you simply have a small amount of money, get several smaller things as opposed to one high priced item. Let's say that you've 5000NP. Instead of buying a codestone you may want to offer different types of food or maybe even scratchcards that ought to be easier to market than codestones reducing the danger of wasting your money. Only develop the size of your store when necessary. The money you spend upgrading your keep is better off going towards goods. You'll know when to upgrade your keep when you are able no longer fit your entire items into it.
Never underestimate the energy of psychological pricing in Neopets (i.e. pricing an item at 2999NP as opposed to 3000NP). Being original along with your pricing will help take more interested consumers to your store. Do not believe that providing one product cheaply in your store will lead to some one buying all your stock. This only doesn't perform and may leave you out of pocket.
Although NP Percentage on this sport is unpleasant, the very first time I actually played it I gained over 350 Neopoints. The game is truly simply to understand and fast to play, and I bet you've seen versions of this before on different gaming sites. Hands down, it is one of the fastest games in terms of getting Neopoints. Creating money in Neopets can be difficult enough at the most effective of times and as the site continues to increase it is only going to get harder. Listed below are ten methods that will help you make Neopoints quickly.
I really like that sport! The NP percentage is fairly large and you'll easily discover how to rebound the hasee to collect the doughnut fruit. Provide it a take to; it's value the time. This is ostensibly a timed sport of memory. It's fairly easy to play and improve through the levels once you get the hold of it, and the NP Relation is great.
I'm positive you've performed this sport before, and it's really fairly simple to learn. In the event that you haven't-all you have to do is set matching tiles. Play on "difficult" and you'll make quite many items in three levels. If you may spend your time concentrating on these, (and other) Neopets activities, you need to be able to make more Neopoints than you ever endured before.
At The Norwood Trading Business, we employ the very best gamers and writers to create top quality, unique sport guides you will discover nowhere else. You worry about your gaming, and therefore do we. That's why we style courses to greatly help people of experience and talent levels. Whether their Runescape, World of Warcraft, Eve On the web, 2nd Life, or some other game, we're sure our instructions will help you get your gambling knowledge to another location level.

Men Enhancement Supplements vs Men Augmentation Surgical Treatment, The Reality As Well As Choices
Maybe you have contemplated surgery to make your member larger?
Let's say there were a lot easier, more affordable, and less dangerous ways to allow you with a larger manhood?
Have you ever before think about male enhancement capsules as a different to male enhancement surgery?
Daily, 1000's of men world wide hope they had a even larger manhood, and many of them are conviced that male enhancement surgery is the only way. But we're here to tell you about safer alternatives that will give you a bigger, harder erection and make you a god in bed.
You should always have the facts when considering male enhancement surgery, so here are some vital pieces of information you should know and why you should consider male enhancement devices instead of male surgery. Male enhancement tablets are considerably cheaper than enhancement surgery. MaleExtra (the leading male enhancement pill) costs just under $300 for a 6 month supply, and will increase your length by up to 3 inches and width by 2 inches. Male surgery will cost you approximately $20,000 and increase either your length OR width (not both).
Male enhancement pills are considerably cheaper than male surgery. Male Extra (the leading male enhancement pills) costs just under $300 for a 6 month supply, and will increase your length by up to 3 inches and width by 2 inches. Enhancement surgery will cost you approximately $20,000 and increase either your length OR width (not both).
As with all surgeries, having a surgeon cut open your manhood with a scalpel, slice through muscle tissue, and graft on extra tissue, has a serious health risk. All it takes is a tiny error and you will suffer permanent damage to your penis, which can include the inability to gain an erection for the rest of your life. Male enhancement devices like Male Extra have no health risks associated with them.
Male enhancement pills come with an unconditional money-back guarantee. If you are unsatisfied with them for any reason, simply send them back within three to six months and you will get all of your money back with no questions asked. Good luck getting the same deal for male surgery (have you ever heard of a surgeon refunding a patient for the cost of male surgery?)
Male enhancement pills like Male Extra are delivered discretely to your home within a few days of placing your order. Compare that to the timeline of booking male surgery, which can take months just to get on the list and then you have to wait many more months before the male enhancement surgery will happen. By the time you get onto the operating table, you could have been taking Male Extra male enhancement products for six months and grown your length and width by several inches without invasive, costly, and risky surgery.
As you can see, there is a vast benefit to taking male enhancement tablets like MaleExtra, and it is certainly worth considering if you are looking for a cost-effective, safe, and 100% guaranteed method to enlarge your manhood. Don't take the risks associated with male surgery, go with a safer alternative product that can work just as good (if not better).

Chris Barnes Joins Voice Lineup for 'The Olympians'
Looks like Chris Barnes has a shot at acting. Well, voice-overs, anyway. Chris will lend his infamous voice to the critically acclaimed animated comedy, 'The Olympians.' The series follows the Greek god lineup through all the struggles of present-day life, and looks pretty hilarious.
Said Barnes on the topic,
"Lending my voice for an animated feature is something I haven't had the privilege of attempting or being involved with… So I feel pretty lucky and excited to be involved with 'The Olympians'!!"
The series comes back by a ton of talent. Bob Spang, the director behind Lilo & Stitch is at the helm, with voice work by members of bands like, Twelve Foot Ninja, NOTHINGFACE, and Chimera. If Chris' Twitter feed isn't enough to keep you entertained, give 'The Olympians' a look.

First up are Middlesbrough - our reward for Carling Cup success against Manchester City in round four - next Wednesday and, in the FA Cup third round draw made on Saturday, Palace will head to the Lane on Saturday January 3, 2004.
Kick-off for the visit of the Eagles will be 3pm and, should a replay be neccessary, the game will take place at Selhurst Park on Wednesday January 14, kick off to be advised.
Boro secured a goalless at the Lane in late October when, after a sticky patch, the Teesiders produced a resolute performance and were fully worth their point. Since that encounter, Steve McClaren's side have remained unbeaten in the Premiership and have not conceded a goal in six games.
"We thought they were a good side when they came here and thought they were the more efficient side on the day," reflected David. "They came at us in the second half, particularly with Zenden and Mendieta. They looked dangerous.
"Since that time Ehiogu is getting fit, Southgate is doing a super marshalling job for them and, what can I say? - you can't get all those clean sheets without being a good side."
Palace, meanwhile, are currently under the stewardship of caretaker-player boss Kit Symons, following the departure of Steve Kember, and David does not expect an easy passage on FA Cup third round day.
"Crystal Palace will present a tough task," he added. "They've won three away games, it is a local derby and a great leveller. I'm quite sure it is going to be a close game."

Famously Volatile, Richly Rewarding
Sunday, July 22, 2007
It's the money tree that keeps on giving.
Despite warnings about the lack of transparency, corruption scandals and companies with shaky financials, the Chinese stock market has leaped 300 percent in the past two years.
No other major market in the world has rewarded investors as generously. Consider: Brazil, Russia and India -- the other fast-growing countries that make up the so-called BRIC economies -- gained at most 170 percent over the same period. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index rose 24 percent.
But like other emerging economies, China's poses some serious risks for investors. Its stock market is notoriously volatile. A series of one-day plunges have left the benchmark Shanghai composite index about 7 percent below its highs in May.
Concerned about speculation, the Chinese government is trying to temper the red-hot market. It is also trying to slow the rapid pace of economic growth, which could further cool the market. At the same time, Beijing is battling to limit fallout from tainted Chinese products sold in the United States.
A growing chorus of observers -- including U.S. analysts, Chinese officials and former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan -- are voicing concern that China's stock market is a bubble ready to pop. All this, while Wall Street is stepping up its offerings of China-focused investment products and as Chinese companies are going public on U.S. markets at a record pace.
So is it time to ease away from Chinese shares? Or has the great rise only just begun?
"There's a point where you have to revalue markets and stocks that have done so well so rapidly," said Kirk Brown, who oversees investing in foreign markets at American Beacon Advisors. While Brown doesn't expect Chinese stocks to fall sharply, he said they could be headed into a period "where they kind of languish for a number of quarters until earnings catch up to their stock prices. . . . I would think people would want to be more cautious in putting more money to work in China at this point."
Nonetheless, he and other money managers see reason to have exposure to China in the long run. They say the country's 1.3 billion people represent a consumer base whose potential has barely been tapped. The Chinese economy, projected to grow in the double-digits for the fifth straight year, is threatening to overtake Germany as the third-largest economy in the world.
"I think it ought to be clearer and clearer to people all the time that China's advance is real and that they probably would benefit to have some exposure to China," said Donald H. Straszheim, vice chairman at Roth Capital Partners and former chief economist at Merrill Lynch.
Investors should be aware, however, that it can be difficult to get trustworthy information about companies in China. Disclosure rules aren't up to global standards. Although the economy is opening up, it is still run by a communist government struggling to foster a free market. Many companies are state-owned.

Click the photo to seehow an A**hole handles a break up..
Breakups are only hard if you make them that way. I feel as if it's a way to basically just say, 'on to the next one.' It just doesn't seem right to stay with one person for the rest of your life so why not make the break up easy? You can even date other people when you're engaged just to test the waters. Well, at least that's what people have told me.

Former public guardian sentenced
Juanita Ann Canley, aka Juanita Browne, 47, has been placed on five years of felony probation and ordered to serve 270 days in the Ventura County Jail. She was sentenced for thefts she committed and kickbacks she received when she was employed as a deputy public guardian for Ventura County.
The Ventura County Public Guardian's Office is the conservator of last resort for individuals who are unable to manage their own affairs and have no family members willing or able to take responsibility for their physical and financial well-being.
Canley was found guilty of one count of felony bribery, nine counts of felony theft of public funds, four counts of felony receiving of stolen property and one count of misdemeanor theft from a dependent person.
Canley abused her position of trust as a deputy public guardian by using money she held on behalf of her clients to make purchases for herself and others. Among other things, Canley bought jewelry, hats, clothing, wigs, cosmetics, perfume, CDs and electronic equipment. She then submitted false receipts to the Public Guardian's Office, charging the cost of the items to public guardian clients.
Search warrants served on Canley's home uncovered property that had been taken from the estates of deceased public guardian clients, as well as current clients who were elderly or suffering from grave disabilities. Investigators found coins, stamps, jewelry and electronic equipment, including a television, which belonged to a public guardian client, that Canley was using in her upstairs den.
On behalf of the victims, the Public Guardian's Office is requesting $6,995 in restitution from Canley as well as return of stolen items.
Canley was also convicted of engaging in a kickback scheme with Hiep Le, a custodian employed by the county of Ventura. Canley hired Le to clean out homes of public guardian clients after they were moved to care facilities. She set the price for the cleanouts and told Le how much to return to her in cash.
In one instance, she told Le to add a "no show" worker to the invoice so she could get $1,500 from the amount paid by the victim.
Le often placed cash in an envelope and slid it through the window of Canley's car, which was parked in the Government Center parking lot. In return, Canley continued to give work to Le.
Le previously pleaded guilty to one count of felony bribery. He cooperated with the investigation and testified against Canley at her trial.
The allegations against Canley were revealed during an investigation of Esther TorresAnaya, also a former deputy public guardian. Torres-Anaya stole and cashed checks belonging to public guardian clients totalling more than $93,000. She pleaded guilty to 47 felony counts and was sentenced to 64 months in state prison.

Choose the right grass
The grass type should be decided depending upon the climatic condition of the area. For example some type of grasses will suit only the warm climate while some are suitable for cool climate.

The lawn creating and maintenance services will help in choosing the right grass suitable for the soil and climate.
Prevent/ remove weeds
Before starting the work, it is more important to remove the weeds. It is always better to remove the weeds before they come up. Hence all the essential factors should be followed for preventing the growth of weeds. There are many pre-emergentherbicides in the market which can be used for preventing the emergence of weeds. But it is to be noted that it is more important to choose the right herbicide which will not spoil the soil at any extent.
Water the grass
Watering the grass is more important for growing healthy grass. For the best results, one can prefer watering the lawn in the early morning. This is because it will be the right time since the sunlight will help in drying the grass. The most important thing is the grasses should not be watering during the night time. Watering grass at night will make the soil wet as the water will be soaking soil throughout night. This will spread even some diseases. Hence watering grass at inappropriate time can be prevented.
Apart from all these aspects the grassed should be trimmed at times of need. The help of Kitchener landscaping services can be hired for best results. The experts will help in maintaining lawn at the best. Even in case of any issues, the experts will provide the best suggestions and solutions for healthy lawn. This will increase the beauty of atmosphere to a greater extent. Hence hiring the help of landscaping services will be the wisest option for creating and maintaining lawn.

Herb experience
Back in march I started growing various herbs, which were to become favours at my daughters wedding.
Seven herbs were chosen, Dill, Corriander, Sage, Thyme,Parsley, Basil and Chives.
Dill and Corriander were a complete failure,no matter how many times I tried they always bolted.
All the others were a great success.
Here is the outcome, each one wrapped in hessian with each persons name attached. That part alone took hours of work. 68 were required and we have 12 back up plants just in case !
and ready to be boxed for travelling today.
Lovely - a lot of work but they look absolutely charming and I am sure will be a great success. Well done you
As said Diggers they look charming.....what a lovely idea
Nice, a bit of thought rather than just ordering from Interflora etc.
Are the cakes in the boxes for favours too?
Aren't they lovely....what a super idea. More than worth all your effort
Have a fantastic day.
David Smith
Very nice!
Best wishes
What a wonderful idea! Must take notes from you and pass them on to my daughter Bethani....
Those are really, sweetly beautiful Digin~well done.
brilliant idea. I might adapt this idea at some stage next year......
You all may have noticed the little white plant tag in each pot, the lable read,
'Smell me, Taste me, Who am I?'......on the back of said lable was the nsame of the plant.
We were surprised how many people joined in and as My Daughter had mixed the guests from both families on all the tables it all helped break the 'ice', got people chatting....win-win
The 12 extra pots were placed on tables in the courtyard, of the 80 or more we took....none came home with us...
Thanks for all your comments
That's a brilliant idea!
What a brillant idea, they look lovely. A great talking point for all the guests.

MANCHESTER (August 4, 2008) – "Today, I signed a two-year lease on a 2008 Ford Taurus four-door sedan, which will be the Mayor's Office vehicle. The lease will cost city taxpayers no money because the monthly payments were generously waived by AutoFair Ford, " Mayor Frank Guinta said.
"From 1999 until this year, this office had a Buick LeSabre, which was repaired at the Manchester Police Department's vehicle pool garage. Earlier this year, it became apparent that continued use of that vehicle would cost taxpayers unnecessary amounts of money for upkeep. Therefore, my office made it a point to look at ways to spare taxpayers added expense. By getting the Taurus, I expect expenses to go down dramatically.
"This is a fuel-efficient American car, which was a high priority for me. The vehicle gets 29 miles per gallon on the highway; 21 in the city. This is a marked upgrade from the previous vehicle, which was specifically built as a police vehicle and was not as fuel-efficient.
"This is a public-private partnership that, I believe, we need to do more of in the city. I hope this sets a precedent for future Mayors in

Long-Distance Autonomous Survey and Mapping in the Robotic Investigation of Life in the Atacama Desert
Date of Original Version
Conference Proceeding
Abstract or Description
To study life in the Mars-like Atacama Desert of Chile we have created a robot, Zoë, and conducted three seasons of technical and scientific experiments. We describe Zoë's exploration algorithms and architecture and assess a total of six months of long distance survey traverses. To date Zoë has navigated autonomously over 250 km. Its average distance per autonomous traverse is 672 m with 75 traverses over one kilometer in a single command cycle. Zoë's payload includes instruments to rapidly measure biologic and geologic properties of the environment. By registering these measurements to estimated position scientists are able to correlate biologic, geologic and environmental factors and better understand life and its habitats in the most arid desert on Earth.

The Ferrari of kitchens in festivAL line. Custom bright red with contrasting moonstone grey upper cabinets. This kitchen was designed for our most famous customer. She's a chef and blogger and cooking is her business. Practical and bold. This one is stunning!! (photos by Theresa Carle-Sanders)
Howard and I can't thank IM Design enough for our new kitchen! It' s more beautiful, sleek and stylish than we ever could have imagined for our little house in the woods, and yet, now that it's here, we can't remember what the space looked like before the transformation.
Patricia and Santi guided us through the design process with creative storage ideas for our small galley, and when it came time for installation they were organized and attentive to every detail.
Their solutions to the inevitable problems that come up when renovating an older house were smart and practical, and kept the project on time and on budget. The finished product is some of the most professional work I have ever seen.
Our thanks to you both! This kitchen is my workspace, and it inspires my cooking every day.

Vegan Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
Recipe by Valeria
Whoopie pies are pretty expensive at the vegan bakery in my town, so I scrounged around and found two good-looking recipes on two different blogs. The first blog said that the result was tasty, but the texture wasn't spongy enough. So I used the filling recipe from there and found the cake recipe on another blog. The result is fantastic. NOTES: (1) The brown sugar is hard to blend in really well when it's clumpy, and so is the flour when the wet and dry ingredients come together. An electric mixer can probably fix that problem. (2) The recommended brands in the US for the egg replacer, vegan cream cheese and vegan butter, respectively, are Ener-G, Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese and Earth Balance. (3) As the first reviewer noted, these spongy pies are prone to both dry out fast and take on moisture. I wrapped mine individually in Saran wrap, but a more natural solution is to store them with a piece of stale bread, or just gather together a bunch of people and eat them in one go!
Ingredients Nutrition
The cakes
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 1⁄2 cups brown sugar
- 1 cup canola oil
- 2 egg substitute
- 2 cups pumpkin
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
The filling
- 4 ounces vegan cream cheese
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Start with the cakes. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and spices in large mixing bowl. In a seperate bowl, cream together sugar, oil, egg replacers, pumpkin and vanilla. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix together.
- Drop by rounded tablespoons onto greased cookie sheets and bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until the center of the cookies springs back when lightly pressed. Cool thoroughly on wire racks or towels before spreading with filling.
- While the cakes are baking you can make the cream cheese filling. In a medium bowl, cream together vegan cream cheese and vegan butter. Mix in powdered sugar one half cup at a time until thoroughly blended.
- To assemble, spread a sizeable dollop of filling on the bottom of one thoroughly cooled cake, make a "sandwich" with a second cake.

Palm reading or Palmistry is an art that was developed thousands of years ago by some highly intellectual individuals.
And till this day, many people have agreed that it has proved its wonder. Palmistry is about broadening your horizons and understanding what palm reading is truly about. It may seem silly but that's only because you haven't understood it exactly.
Here's a short tutorial to understand the love and marriage lines on the palm.

The good china having been put away, the dirty pots and pans disposed of, my husband and I set out to salvage the remains of the turkey, and to transform it into a variety of other dishes that we might enjoy over the next few weeks. Every year I am determined to do the turkey justice, making the most of it; but all too often a post-Thanksgiving lethargy overwhelms my good intentions. Not this year! Facing the on-set of a real Depression, my husband, and I called upon all of our creative juices to devise a number of extendable dishes, including turkey soup, turkey tetrazzini, and turkey croquets. It turned out to be a lot of fun.
I learned how to do such magic tricks from my mother who–at the time of the Great Depression–was in her early twenties, and just married. It was difficult in those days to make do. My parents' only asset was a house, left to them by my grandparents, who had died of typhoid fever, en route home from Paris. The house was their salvation. To supplement my father's minimal salary, earned by clipping coupons at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, my mother took in borders, many of whom were also in similar financial straits.
Cooking for such a brood, my mother learned a major economic lesson, which she passed on to me: AIM BIG. Although my mother didn't use the jargon, her advice was all about externalities and increasing returns.Â
Cooking for such a brood, my mother learned a major economic lesson, which she passed on to me: AIM BIG. Although my mother didn't use economic jargon, her advice was all about externalities and increasing returns. Take the turkey, for example: "Buy a big one," she would say. "The cost per serving goes down the more meat there is on the turkey in relationship to the bone, especially if you combine your leftovers with other foods to add value and extend their life cycle."
Then she would tell me the story of stone soup.
But my mother didn't only use scraps of meat to pinch pennies; she would use scraps of everything imaginable–ribbons, ties, pieces of wood–to create delightful, but at the same time low cost, presents for my sisters and me. Among my favorites was a circus ensemble, which was comprised of animal figures, designed by my mother, carved by my great grandfather with his jig saw, and then hand-painted by my mother. Equally precious were the raggedy dolls, donning straw hats and calico dresses, and carrying baskets of flowers, all of which my mother stitched together, just-in-time, working late into the night on Christmas eve.
Growing up in the Fifties, my recollection of hard times began to fade. It was only some years later, when living the tenuous life of a graduate student at Columbia University, and caring for a brand new baby, that I found myself, just like my mother, having to make do. Fortunately, I could build on the never-give-up strategies she had pursued as a young adult. So, I stretched myself, expanding my horizons beyond my dream of becoming the world's greatest political scientist. Refocusing some of my efforts, I learned how to sew my own cloths and crochet Christmas gifts, simple things at first. To supplement my income from my job as a teaching assistant, I took up babysitting, and even ironed a few shirts at 19 cents apiece. My former husband–also a student–worked part time selling boys cloths at Bergdoff Goodman. Not surprisingly, meals were simple: hash, macaroni and cheese, tuna fish casserole, hamburger borgonone, and spaghetti–often without the sauce. Entertainment, for us, was not expensive either; we engaged in pot lucks, enjoying our time with friends. Even as we skimped by, we were very rich indeed!
Even as we skimped by, we were very rich indeed!Â
As I was cooking in the kitchen, savoring these experiences, I wondered whether the coping strategies that have proved so useful to me over the years might apply equally–even if on a grander scale–to the Government's effort to deal with today's economic demise. In this context, Jane Jacobs came to mind. As she has argued, generating economic growth cannot be given; it must be earned. For it is by pulling oneself up by the bootstraps that creativity takes place and the keys to economic success are learned. Bailouts, Jacobs might say, are a gift, and hence unlikely to make a difference over the long term. I'm quite sure my mother would agree.

There can be few techniques that are pretty straight forward but effective, that may help you get ripped quickly. Use these methods and also it get entire body needs of your dreams and develop utilising want.
As an gent who has ever aimed to lose weight knows, diet alone will not help you TBoost Explosion and maintain it. You need to obtain active. Daily life one of the highest things that can be done for your lifestyle.
What are we able to do reduce estrogen and instead give ourselves a suitable testosterone boost to get yourself a hard, toned body, a masculine air and a potent, strong libido?
"Man breasts." After some steroid cycles, TBoost Explosion production re-adjusts and estrogen increases. The user will develop female breast tissue unless they take an estrogen suppressant during post cycle therapy. I experienced this personally. It can be not very attractive.
But however if one amongst those 3 elements aren't there? Does it come with true that muscle will refuse to grow? That question relies upon what's wanting. When the body anticipates that another attack is coming, it's going prepare because they build the muscle stronger and larger. Fundamentally the idea is the fact that if you restrict your protein consumption, to design for a couple of amount of protein, no less than increasing the production of testosterone and HGH.
Cut all the carb. Try not eating any carbs for 10 hours. Basically this is the similar to the Sacred Heart diet. Eat lots of vegetables and fruits to substitute the carbs could. Complex carbs genuinely are tough to digest basically are full off fibre. Fibres prevent accumulation of mucus and helps with passage of digested food in your digestive canals, aiding in weight loss and prevents bloating. Hungry? Load up on healthy snacks like nuts, beans and whole grain crackers. Never, ever eat refined or white bread or noodles.
The concentric part about a lift is the hardest part where you lift a weight. Make it explosive so fast anyone can; its going to work more (and the largest) muscle fibres. The eccentric a component of the lift may be the easier part where you lower the. Make it slow and take about 4 seconds to lower; this will result in more damage to the muscle and create more time under apprehension. This is what makes a muscle grow bigger.

Free SpiritMonday, April 7, 2014
I find myself drawn to gypsy-bohemian patterns and looks when I'm shopping for home goods or clothes. Maybe it's because the most hyped about music festival, Coachella, is a few days away or that summer weather is now in full throttle in Southern California. Though this ensemble has a boho feel, I would not wear this to an outdoor festival with scorching temperatures. It's all about flowy dresses that make you feel liberated, flowers and fringes but I'll save that for another post. As for this outfit, I decided to finally wear this top (I bought this about 5 years ago and this is the first time I'm wearing it!). I love the warm hues of this paisley patterned top and how it just sits on me. To complete the look, I paired it with brown boots and a floppy hat.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Viewers may think some of the nominees for best picture at next week's Academy Awards are dark, but they pale in comparison with the movies competing for the coveted Oscar for best documentary.
War, torture and sickness are some of the topics explored by the nominees. The winner will be announced on Sunday.
Unlike last year, when "An Inconvenient Truth" about Al Gore's slide show on global warming was the favorite and duly won, industry watchers say this year's contest is wide open.
Just as Oscar voters chose the Gore film to signal defense of the environment, this year they may decide the time is right to draw attention to the Iraq war.
"From the short-list to the nominees, the Academy voters were very interested in films that were about Iraq," said documentary filmmaker A.J. Schnack, who writes the film blog "All these wonderful things."
"No End in Sight" documents how the military strategy of a few powerful men led to a deepening conflict, while "Operation Homecoming" puts soldiers' poignant writings about combat and loss on film.
"Taxi to the Dark Side" laments America's use of torture in prisoner interrogations at Guantanamo Bay prison camp and in Iraq and Afghanistan following the September 11 attacks.
Oscar-winning filmmaker Michael Moore's "Sicko" looks at the failure of the United States to provide health care to millions, including one man who must decide which of two severed fingers he can afford to have reattached.
"War/Dance" follows war-weary children in northern Uganda, describing how they rebuild their lives through music and dance. This film, a favorite with audiences, may be the most upbeat of the nominees.
Schnack said that "each of the topics could be something that the Academy wants to rally behind." Health care reform, for example, is a top issue in the U.S. presidential race.
"Sicko" is by far the most successful of the nominated documentaries at U.S. box offices, grossing $25 million, the third largest ever for a documentary of its kind.
But the Academy may overlook Moore since he won the Oscar for 2002's "Bowling for Columbine" about a tragic mass shooting in a Colorado high school.
"No End in Sight," directed by Charles Ferguson, is second at the box office among nominees, grossing $1.4 million.
Alex Gibney's timing with "Taxi," which has just been released, could not have been better with public debate raging over "waterboarding" -- a simulated drowning technique the CIA admits to having used during interrogations after the September 11 attacks.
Gibney persuaded several high-ranking officials to talk in his film about the use of torture in U.S. detention centers.
"I think they were motivated to speak out because they felt their voices weren't being heard in the corridors of power," said Gibney, also executive producer of "No End in Sight."
As is often the case in documentaries, normal people -- not stars -- get a platform to make themselves heard, like the soldiers in Richard Robbins' "Operation Homecoming," based on a writing project by the National Endowment for the Arts.
Colby Buzzell wrote his vignette, "Men in Black," after living through an horrific Iraqi street battle. "We watch the news and hear talking points like 'We shouldn't be there,' and people are sick of that," he said. "Richard's movie with soldiers telling stories hits home hard."

The finely woven antique Ferahan carpets of the 19th century were designed for the Persian aristocracy, who valued them for their exceptional craftsmanship, elegance, and spirited artistry. Investment-level Ferahan rugs were not produced after the 1910s and the finer 19th- and turn-of-the-20th-century examples have become quite rare.
The best antique Ferahan rugs woven 90-175 years ago are considered to be among the most original and artistic antique room size carpets ever woven in Persia. Their high-grade wool, spirited uncompromising workmanship, sublime color palettes and durable construction have made them the parlor rug of choice of European and East Coast families since the middle of the 19th century.
Today, the best Ferahan Persian carpets have become a favorite of connoisseurs and established interior designers, not merely for their great decorative appeal, but because they have long exhibited a consistently escalating market value.
There are a number of distinctive antique carpet design features which set the fine antique Ferahan antique Oriental carpets apart from the styles of other regions. Their floral motifs show original, inventive, drawing and exceptional delicacy, each blossom varying slightly from the next, both spontaneous and balanced.
Although they are sometimes less detailed than the court carpets of the large cities of Kashan or Isfahan, Ferahan antique Persian rugs often match their elegance and usually surpass them in their creativity. They offer a wide spectrum of vegetable dyed colors, mellowed to soft yet rich shades. One exemplary color is the depth of the midnight indigo shade they were able to produce and use so effectively as a counterpoint or backdrop to the rest of the subtle antique Ferahan rug palette of color. The best Ferahan antique rugs are also known for their abundant use of seldom-found tones of green, from soft celadon through rich apple green to the deepest forest greens.
The art of streaking color, a technique known as abrash, was developed in antique Ferahan carpets to a high degree, and is used profusely in 19th century-examples, especially those woven in the pre-commercial period of the 1880s and before. Often in these early antique Persian carpets, the base color will change dramatically from one end of the field to the other, a traditional technique that can produce great drama and distinction.
Antique Persian rugs known simply as "Ferahan" are characterized by a close-cropped and tightly packed pile of fine yarn. They typically employ dense allover field patterns, notably the Herati blossom and curling leaf antique carpet design, epitomizing the exceptional craftsmanship of 19th-century Persian carpets. Pieces of somewhat heavier weave with graciously drawn teardrop- or sunburst-shaped central medallions are called "Ferahan Sarouk".
Ferahan Oriental rugs originated from the Ferahan plain in the Arak district between Hamadan and Tehran, which is one of the most fertile, agriculturally productive areas in Persia. The antique Ferahan rugs have tribal roots, but since they were primarily produced for a wealthy urban clientele, they developed a style more closely aligned with the rich floral detail of classical antique Persian rugs. Their multi-lobed medallions owe much to the Tabriz tradition, while their palmettes and other floral motifs exhibit the influence of the nearby Sarouk weavers. The resultant fusion created a never-to-be-repeated hybrid style of elegance through simplicity.
At Claremont Rug Company, we usually avoid Ferahan rugs of the 1920's and later, as they commonly use some harsh and unappealing artificial dyes along with static and standardized designs.
The 19th-century and turn-of-the-20th-century Ferahan and antique Ferahan Sarouk carpets in which we proudly specialize are found most often today in the area-size (3ft x 5ft to 4ft 6in x 7ft) and small room-size (7ft x 10ft to 9ft x 12ft) formats. Art-level, room-size antique rugs in good condition have become less available internationally, especially in the best qualities, while oversize and even palace-size antique carpets are found only very occasionally.
As a whole, true art-level 19th-century Ferahan & antique Ferahan Sarouk rugs in good floor condition are now very difficult to find overall and extremely highly regarded. They stand solidly in the upper tier of investment-level decorative and collectible antique Persian carpets.
