If semval is 0, then you still have toscan the complex list. If semval is 0, then you do not have to scanthe *negative* list.

Complex ops are tricky and I wasn'tconcerned with optimising them for now.

When he's calm, he accepts 100% of the responsibility for the affairs. When we're fighting, he blames me. He says my actions in the marriage caused his affair.
When he's calm, he loves me. When he's angry, he's a cruel stranger I don't even recognize.
He stopped IC after two visits in November. I started this month. He used that against me tonight, too. That he "started first."
He wouldn't stop saying damaging things, even though I continually warned him our son was listening. I was completely distressed, and I actually slapped him.
I've never slapped anyone in my entire life. My temporary loss of control is terrifying.
Obviously this can't go on. It's my fault, I know, for accepting words over actions. Time and time again.
I am in so much pain.
[This message edited by SpotlessMind at 11:37 PM, January 21st (Tuesday)]
I want to gently say:
Your marriage is not in true Reconciliation...
Your husband is being verbally and emotionally abusive towards you.
---You slapping your husband is unacceptable - there's not place for physical hitting in a relationship.
---As you stated: This type of behavior is inappropriate around your child.
Your description of the ongoing conflict between you and your husband negates this comment:
When we're getting along, it's great
It's obvious your husband needs IC and help with his anger, and his verbal and emotional abuse.
And he is being abusive.
I'm sincerely sorry for the pain and turmoil you're going through - It's not a good situation.
I can understand being alone; but I hate being with someone and feeling lonely.
I know that slapping him was incredibly wrong. I'm appalled by my lack of control.
I don't think he was verbally abusive, but I feel emotionally battered.
I can't tell....is this just part of the roller coaster? The ups and downs? Or am I deluding myself? He says all the right things to me, but when it comes time to stand up and take responsibility for his actions with others...he boils it down to "marital difficulties."
That's what he told his family. They asked why he acted so erratically on his visit last July. They were concerned. He was acting erratically because he was desperately trying to hook up with a Facebook chat buddy and former sex partner for sex. He tells his family it's bc we were having a "rough spot." Even after saying he would own up to his responsibility.
And when I point out the discrepancy, he says it's because he was still angry at me for the marriage before the affair. Which means he's not taking responsibility for his actions, right?
Any time I strongly urge him to come clean about his responsibility for his actions to his family (or others--and all I was asking was that he say he made some bad choices that hurt our marriage--no specifics) he freaks out and starts threatening to tell his parents and my parents any and every negative and hurtful thing about me he can come up with from the past 18 years. Is that normal?
I know he has low frustration tolerance, and he's working on it.
Actually, I say that and realize I am working on it. I am reading books, in IC, meditating, and trying to do what I can to work on the marriage and myself.
I...I honestly don't know what he's doing.
Maybe I am just an idiot.
(Also, there are other factors at play that I worry about and would like him to disclose to his family, but he sometimes reads the forum and knows my name, so I'm uncomfortable bringing them up.)
[This message edited by SpotlessMind at 8:58 AM, January 22nd (Wednesday)]
Thanks so much for your input--I appreciate your time.
When we get along, we do talk about the As. He answers questions and doesn't get defensive, takes the blame, tries to help when I am triggering, and generally acts like a remorseful husband.
But when something happens that makes him angry, I feel like he reverts to the defensive, blame shifting unremorseful spouse he was during our 3 week false R after the first DDay in Sept. When he lied about everything.
He has always realized how terrible his reaction was every time this happens, but it takes a day or two. And I'm always panicking that the reaction won't end. That he will keep blaming me, and manipulating. And every time it happens, my heart sinks a little more. Because I wonder if maybe he is incapable of changing those behaviors.
When he acts like that, all I see is the entitlement that enabled him to have affairs in the first place, and I just fall apart.
I fully own my half of the marriage issues prior to the affairs. Sometimes, on bad days when my self-esteem is shot, I try to take more of the blame. At those times, he tells me, no. None of this is my fault. It was him, and him alone. But when we argue, he says something different.
I know I can't allow him to make me feel responsible.
Ugh. A lot of the fights seem to revolve around his fear of losing face with loved ones and/or friends? Either that or a fierce desire for privacy from other people? (He's been transparent with me..though we struggled to get there.)
Has anyone else experienced that?
I just feel so beaten down. I don't want to give up because we really have come so far and I really do love him and think the effort is worthwhile.....but sometimes it just feels hopeless.

Cougars split opening UMAC matches
The University of Minnesota, Morris opened Upper Midwest Athletic Conference action hosting a tri-match with Northland College and Concordia-Moorhead on Friday, Sept. 24.
The Cougars topped UMAC opponent Northland 3-0 to start the tri-match, and closed with a hard fought 3-1 loss to 23rd ranked Concordia.
On Saturday, the Cougars hosted St. Scholastica and split their conference record with a 3-0 loss.
Now .500 in conference play at 1-1, the Cougars head out on the road this weekend, taking on Northwestern and Crown as they continue UMAC play.
UM-Morris 3
Northland 0
The Cougars began their day with an impressive three-set win, opening conference play in fine fashion.
UMM had to work overtime in the opening set, as visiting Northland pushed the Cougars all the way to a 32-30 final. As the score cruised past 25, the LumberJills took the advantage on three occasions, before the Cougars scored three straight points to close it out.
There was far less drama in the final two sets as UMM won by scores of 25-16 and 25-17.
After a .188 hitting performance in the marathon first set, the Cougars settled down to hit .367 and .216 in the second and third set, respectively.
Megan Theis and Steph Schmieising each hit over .400 in the match, leading UMM to a .243 hitting percentage as a team. Theis knocked down a match-high 10 kills, her seventh match in double digits this season, while Schmieising finished right behind with nine.
The Cougars had four players swing better than .300 in the tri-match-opener as Natalie Thomas and Kelsey Heisler joined Theis and Schmieising on the leader board. In her most extensive action of the season, Heisler finished with five kills against just two errors on nine attacks, as well as a block assist in playing all three matches.
Thomas finished with 37 assists against Northland - on the way to 75 on the night - marking the fifth and sixth times she has went over 30 on the season.
Concordia 3
UM-Morris 1
Thomas and the Cougars saw the strength of the No. 23 Cobbers, right away, as Concordia took the first set 25-10. The Cobbers hit .382 in the opening frame, making just two errors in the win.
The tides turned in the second set, as the Cougars earned the win 25-23. UMM rolled to a 7-1 lead off the start.
The Cougars hit .256 in the set, while holding the Cobbers to just .103. UMM never trailed in the set, although Concordia drew to within one three times before the Cougars closed it out.
Schmieising continued her impressive play, leading the Cougars with 12 kills, which put her over the 20-mark on the night. Allie Humphrey and Kaylie Clark were each next with eight kills, with Humphrey finishing without an error on 20 attacks and holding a .400 hitting percentage.
Jordan Olerud had seven kills in the match, and 15 on the night, as well as a game-high 22 digs against the Cobbers.
St. Scholastica 3
UM-Morris 0
The Cougars put together three impressive sets Saturday, Sept. 25, but met up with a St. Scholastica team who was up to the task, and took the match in straight sets 3-0.
Visiting St. Scholastica took the first set of the afternoon 25-22, scoring four of the final five points for the win. In the second set, the Saints used a 5-0 run to open the game on their way to a 25-16 win. Finally, in the third set, the Cougars pushed the Saints to the limit and beyond, but eventually fell 29-27, ending the match.
UMM struggled with consistency against powerful CSS. The Cougars gave themselves a chance to win on each set before the Saints would pull away late.
Already down 2-0 in a back and forth third set, the Saints worked their way out to a 7-3 lead, but undaunted the Cougars battled all the way back and held a 20-20 tie late in the match.
UMM held leads in both the first and third sets, and the score was tied 24 total times on the night.
Olerud paced the Cougars with 16 and a .324 hitting percentage. Clark was the final player in double figures with 10.
UMM finished with 48 kills in the match, to 44 for St. Scholastica. The Cougars also led the match with 61 digs against only 54 for the Saints. Olerud and Brita Humphrey each led UMM with 14 digs while Clark finished with a double-double at 11.

text: Cape Town - President Jacob Zuma and Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe are to personally oversee infrastructure development and job creation respectively.This follows the mid-year cabinet lekgotla convened by Zuma in Pretoria this week. The meeting focused on two priorities - service delivery and job creation, cabinet spokesperson Jimmy Manyi said on Friday."Given the centrality of infrastructure development and job creation in dealing with poverty and inequality, Cabinet resolved to elevate the management of the two priorities to the Presidency by establishing an Infrastructure Commission to be chaired by the President and a Job Creation Commission to be chaired by the Deputy President," he said.The cabinet adopted a 12-point implementation plan on job creation within the ambit of the new growth path.These included short-term employment schemes, such as expanding the community works programme to up to a million positions by 2013/14, and the jobs fund management proactively identifying programmes that would ensure commitment of its R2bn resources by the end of the financial year.The infrastructure commission would ensure systematic selection, planning, and monitoring of large projects to systematically improve the capacity of state agencies to deliver infrastructure and help connect the work of all spheres of government, he said.A small high-level team reporting to the co-ordinating ministers for the employment cluster would focus on proposed changes and regulations to unblock private-sector projects with a substantial impact on employment investment."Measures will include tougher action to address the concentration of ownership and monopoly practices that limit the entry of new enterprises."Among other things, small business incubation programmes would be scaled up, and small business funding improved and micro-finance expanded.Existing rural programmes aimed at expanding agricultural production by small scale farmers would be scaled up, core infrastructure extended to rural areas, and towns revitalised.Targets for deliveryTargets would be set for investment in rural infrastructure such as water, roads, fencing, and energy.The Ministers of Trade and Industry, Mineral Resources, and Economic Development would recommend concrete steps to reduce steel prices by the end of September, Manyi said."In addition there must be a report on the work of the state-owned mining company, setting out its role and the business plan for realising greater beneficiation."It was proposed that all government departments spend at least one percent of payroll to develop skills with regular reports on progress through the higher education and training department.Inter-departmental consultations would identify an initial list of products that could be designated for local procurement by the end of September.To combat corruption in tender processes, a high-level team would be put in place to consider complaints about tender delays or abuses that negatively impacted on jobs, cost-effectiveness, or economic development.The lekgotla committed to give greater focus to co-ordinating and integrating service delivery in common priority areas where backlogs were the highest and on transforming apartheid spatial development patterns.An informal settlement upgrading plan in 45 large metro areas, large towns, and cities was agreed upon.Projects would cover security of tenure, water, sanitation, public transport, area lighting, electrification and waste management."President Zuma welcomed the commitment of the executive to ensure that the projects identified are implemented without delay, within the agreed time frames."He emphasised the need for all to move away from perpetual planning to visible action that will respond to the needs of the people," Manyi said.

No. 1 chipmaker Intel (INTC) remains in the running for an Apple (AAPL) iPhone 7 chip even as the smartphone-maker's iPad Pro continues to gouge PC sales, a Summit Research analyst said Tuesday.
Financially, gaining the iPhone 7 modem would be a "non-event," accounting for $200 million in sales and 2 cents earnings per share ex items per quarter, Summit Research analyst Srini Sundararajan wrote in a research report.
But it would allow Intel to undercut No. 3 rival Qualcomm which, teardowns show, has supplied the iPhone modem in at least the past four flagship iterations. Qualcomm has been an iPhone supplier since iPhone 4S, whereas Intel last supplied a chip in the iPhone 3G, circa 2008.
"The implications from a prestige point of view -- getting a socket into the iPhone, is likely to be seen as an achievement for Intel and a loss for Qualcomm," Sundararajan wrote.
'Dreadful' January, 'So-So' February
In midday trading on the stock market today, Intel stock was down a fraction following the death of former longtime CEO Andrew Grove, 79, a Silicon Valley and tech visionary largely credited with building the company into a powerhouse. He left as CEO in 1998 and left the board in 2004 -- both moves precipitated by health issues -- but remained an advisor.
Sundararajan cut his price target on Intel stock to 38 from 40 on "PC doldrums," but reiterated his buy rating. Sundararajan is the third analyst since February to cut his Q1 estimates for Intel on the weakening PC unit.
Taiwanese PC shipments were "dreadful" in January and "so-so" in February, Sundararajan wrote. And "Apple's release of the smaller iPad Pro and iPad Pro earlier should continue to cut incrementally into PC sales."
But Sundararajan doesn't expect Intel to pre-announce new guidance. Intel previously guided to $14.1 billion in sales, plus or minus $500 million, suggesting 52 cents EPS ex items. That would be up 10% and 27%, respectively, vs. the year-earlier quarter.
"To a certain extent, we feel that Intel's mentioning weakness in China was an accurate presaging of what was to come, so we do not think that Intel's guidance is likely to be that far off from actual results," he wrote.
Sundararajan cut his Q1 views to $13.8 billion and 45 cents vs. earlier expectations for $14.3 billion and 53 cents. He notes that Intel anticipates about $400 million in revenue from its completed Altera acquisition and an extra-week bump.
The consensus of 46 analysts polled by Thomson Reuters models $13.96 billion in Q1 sales and 49 cents EPS minus items, up a respective 9% and 20%, on a year-over-year basis.
For the year, Sundararajan now sees $57.9 billion in sales and $2.35 EPS minus items, down from $59.9 billion and $2.50. On average, analysts expect $58.77 billion and $2.40, up 6% and 3% vs. the year earlier.

recent years, Cambodia has made great strides in turning the tide of
the HIV epidemic; however, young people and particularly those in disadvantaged communities remain
vulnerable and often do not receive sufficient attention from HIV/AIDS
prevention organizations. Due to the sensitive nature of the topic,
teachers and trainers are often shy to bring up issues related to
HIV/AIDS in the classroom and community. This is one of the reasons why
GSC HIV/AIDS Prevention training is needed in Cambodia to help close
this education gap, increase teachers' and trainers'
comfort levels in engaging in open dialogue with students, and keep
future generations safe from the disease.
HIV/AIDS prevention is part of an overall public health education program offered by GSC in Cambodia. The HIV/AIDS prevention
training is embedded in a broad Global Public Health Education Program that addresses a gamut of community health issues.
Dates & Rates: The Global Public Health Education Program is offered year-round, from four weeks to six months or longer. For more information, visit our Dates & Rates page.More about Cambodia Public Health Education Programs.

STAUNTON – The Virginia Department of Transportation's Lexington Residency Office has announced its schedule for the application of Krenite S for brush control in Highland County this year. The following routes will have Krenite S applied from August 4 to August 15.
Highland County
Route 610, from Route 678 to Route 609.
Route 614, from Route 616 to Route 613.
Route 618, from Route 614 north to 1.30 miles west of Route 614 north.
Route 621, from Route 636 to dead end.
Route 624, from Route 617 to 2.30 miles west of Route 617.
Route 640, from Route 642 to Route 637.
Route 678, from Route 609 to Bath County Line.

Japanese themes
Saving Braviary (Japanese: N再び!ウォーグル救出作戦!! N, Again! Operation Rescue Warrgle!! ) is the 114th episode of the Best Wishes series, and the 771st episode of the Pokémon anime. It first aired in Japan on February 21, 2013 and in the United States on May 25, 2013.
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
The episode begins with two Plasma Grunts, Schwarz and Weiss driving a truck during nighttime and come to a block in the road. As they move the barricades out of the way, N sneaks behind the truck and places a small device that unlocks the back door. Upon opening the doors N finds a caged Braviary. He releases it and they attempt to get away. However, the grunts see him and send out Seviper and Zangoose to stop him with Slash and Bite, respectively. N manages to block the attacks, saving Braviary, but they fall off the cliff in the process. Schwarz and Weiss had a tracking chip on Braviary neck that will track it down.
Meanwhile, Ash, Iris and Cilan are still on their journey to the White Ruins. Ash and Iris become anxious to get some rest and Cilan tells there's a Pokémon Center nearby. They suddenly find N and Braviary, who collapsed from their injuries. N tells then that Braviary is injured and the group takes them to the Pokémon Center. Nurse Joy tends to Braviary's injuries and mentions that Braviary is unable to fly due to them. N thanks her for help and comforts Braviary. Ash scans Braviary with his Pokédex and asks N what happened. N states that Braviary got captured by Team Plasma Grunts, in which Ash, Iris and Cilan exclaim that they encountered Team Plasma when they were using EM Waves to control Pokémon. N states that his mission is to liberate all the Pokémon under Team Plasma's control. The group propose to help N but he tells them that the mission is his own.
Schwarz and Weiss track Braviary to the Pokémon Center. Ash and his friends are pleased that N deeply cares about Pokémon and that they cannot forgive Team Plasma for capturing Pokémon. Schwarz and Weiss decide to cut the Pokémon Center's power to disarm the security system so they could sneak in and retrieve Braviary. N finally notices Braviary's tracking device during the blackout. Ash, Iris, and Cilan are curious to what caused the power outage and Cilan states that the outside lights are on, so the issue was specific to the Center. N comes in with Braviary to inform them that the power outage was caused by the Team Plasma members that captured Braviary. Nurse Joy and Audino decide to go check the circuit breakers and Schwarz and Weiss sneak behind her. They enter the room where the Pokémon are resting and use night-vision goggles to find Braviary. They are too late as they see that Braviary's tracking device is moving. They go outside and see N and what appears to see Braviary. They send out Zangoose and Seviper and once again they order them to attack with Slash and Bite. It is revealed that Braviary wasn't there and that they have been fooled. They turn to N and demand to know where Braviary is, but N runs away, forcing the them to order their Pokémon to chase after him.
Meanwhile, Ash, Iris and Cilan are taking Braviary in the opposite direction. Ash and Cilan recall N telling them that they need to release Braviary somewhere safe. Iris runs ahead and finds the perfect location. However, Braviary refuses to go back as he worried about N. Ash orders and begs it to stop, mentioning that Team Plasma grunts will capture him. Ash realizes that Braviary knows that N is in trouble and Braviary dashes off to find N.
N is still running away from Zangoose and Seviper but they find and the two grunts catch up. Schwarz orders Seviper to use Screech and Weiss orders Slash on N. N proclaims that he will never give up on his mission and the two grunts order another round of attacks. However, Braviary gets here just in time to save N, along with Ash, Iris, and Cilan. Ash calls on Pikachu and Iris sends out Excadrill to battle Zangoose and Seviper. During the battle, Cilan reminds Ash and Iris to not underestimate their opponents as Seviper and Zangoose are well trained. Excadrill finally beats Seviper with Focus Blast and is recalled. Zangoose and Pikachu collide with two Iron Tail attacks and both Pokémon are struggling to get up. As Zangoose is about to finish Pikachu off with Mega Punch, Ash calls out to Pikachu, but Braviary intercepts with Wing Attack. N watched the battles with awe. Ash then tells Pikachu to finish it with Thunderbolt. Schwarz and Weiss retreat after their loss and Ash thanks Braviary. Later, Ash, Iris, and Cilan watch on as Braviary goes back to the wild. N tells it that this is where it was meant to be and that it won't need to worry about Team Plasma again.
Upon seeing N's injuries, the group takes him back to the Pokémon Center so Nurse Joy can treat him. N mentions that he will be going a bit past Driftveil and they invite him to travel with them. N mentions that despite all that happened, he is still against Pokémon battles. However, he confesses that seeing them battle, made him experience feelings that he never felt before. So N decides that it will be an honor to travel together for a while.

Bethel College announces the creation of the applied politics major, a unique program for students who want to pursue a career in politics. The program will offer students multiple opportunities to dialog with elected officials, work in election campaigns, serve with advocacy organizations and build lifelong professional networks.
Students will also participate in three internship experiences. Internships for Bethel students have included positions with the U.S. Department of State, advocacy groups in Washington, D.C., political consultants and local offices of elected officials.
"A typical political science program is heavy on philosophy and quantitative analysis, but it doesn't offer a variety of practical opportunities for students," says Dave Schmidt, associate professor of history. "We've designed the applied politics major to be more pragmatic – we want graduates to walk away with a resume full of real-world experiences. We want them to have demonstrated competence that will lead to valuable career opportunities."
One factor that makes Bethel ideal for this innovative program is its location in Mishawaka, Ind. Because of the cycle of federal, state and local elections in northern Indiana, active election campaigns are in operation three out of every four years, providing continued opportunities for students to gain experience. Bethel also has strong alumni connections in Washington, D.C., and three full-time faculty who have held or currently hold office as an elected official.
Several local politicians have given input and support for the program, including Carlin Yoder, Indiana State Senator. "Public service is a calling for citizens desiring to make an impact," says Yoder. "It's a noble profession requiring commitment, the ability to listen and respond accordingly. Those are the types of individuals that Bethel will prepare with their new major in applied politics."

Tallahassee (Fla.) North Florida Christian wide receiver Melvin Ray has several scholarship offers to his credit and has an early top three. The Rivals250 to watch member talked about several of the programs recruiting him in this exclusive interview with Rivals.com.
"I have offers from Florida State, Alabama, Ole Miss, Georgia and Arizona State," Ray said. "I am also interested in Florida, but they haven't come through with an offer yet."
The 6-foot-3, 194-pounder, who transferred to North Florida Christian from Chiles High during his winter break, says that the Seminoles, Gators and Bulldogs are at the top of his list at the moment.
Article Continues Below
"I'm interested in other schools, but Florida State, Georgia and Florida, those three have to be at the top of my list right now," Ray said. "Florida State is up there because I've just grown up around that atmosphere. I've always been going over there for every game. I've grown up a Florida State fan my whole life."
John Lilly is recruiting Ray for the Seminoles.
Chiles said that Bulldogs head coach Mark Richt told North Florida Christian head coach Casey Weldon, a former FSU quarterback that played for the Seminoles while Richt was an assistant in Tallahassee, of his intentions to offer Ray.
"I've always liked Georgia," Ray said. "I haven't been up there yet, but I plan to go."
An unofficial visit to Florida gave Ray good feelings about the Gators.
"I kind of fell in love with Florida after going over there," he said.
Alabama and Ole Miss also are in the mix.
"I went to Alabama last summer for a 7-on-7 passing tournament and I got a chance to check out the Bear Bryant museum and all the facilities," Ray said. "I just sort of fell in love with the place that they practice and figured that I needed to get the chance to come over and check it out on an official visit."
Ray added that he is in contact with Crimson Tide assistant coach Kirby Smart on a regular basis.
His relationship with the coaching staff in Oxford has the Rebels strongly in the mix.
"I like that I can talk to the coaches there about life and not just football," Ray said. "I also like going on the Internet and learning more about the school and the program. I definitely want to check them out with an official visit."
Ray also plans to attend camp at LSU this summer.
Though there is a pecking order for Ray, don't expect a decision soon.
"I want to take some official visits," he said. "Some may be during my football season and some may be during other times. I play multiple sports, so I am going to have to go when I can go."
Ray is excited about his new school, which has produced multiple Division I-A prospects in recent years, including Ernie Sims, Rivals.com's No. 1 overall prospect in the Class of 2003.
"They've got a history of winning over here and that is the big thing," Ray said. "I like it over here because of coach Weldon and his style of coaching, mainly."
Ray finished with more than 500 receiving yards last season at Chiles.

Oh, my Zbigniew; a Populist Resistance is but your own!
November 26, 2012 in Resistance
Monday, November 26, 2012
Oh, my Zbigniew; all have gone astray!
Oh, my Zbigniew; the entire Earth has dared tremble upon the edge of your every desire for so long!
Oh, my Zbigniew; my populist oppressor and spiritual redeemer, who is a moniker of Trilateralism for all Populists!
Oh, my Zbigniew; you did go philandering, and behold, the Earth itself did menstruate for you!
Harbinger; you did plea for external control, and now you are crying a bloody tear as your heart begins to expire! All your works did not lead to your happiness, which was your goal, and you forewarn of your failure and lay blame upon the Liberally minded. For how long will you weep? For how long do you desire yourself, in the name of our mighty race?
Malefactor; I heard you say there is no compassion for the enemies of a New World Order, but look, your enemies did find compassion amongst themselves, and you cried out in vain! It is no foreign quarrel when one speaks of the goodwill of this Earth coming to rain down upon the heartlessness of ignorance. But tell us how you were to know this in the first place, because you were unable to discern it for yourself? Hear me when I say this: the Heart of the Earth bled as you did.
Interjector; how can you bring quarrel to external control, when all control is external? How was it that the conclusion is formed that regurgitation of the spiritual entity that is control was not in line with the design of that which will forever be, which is Chaos, the non-symmetrical, and Coincidence, the symmetry of spiritual surety? How was it you thought anyone was capable of independence from inheritance?
In all of these ways, Zbigniew, your cry was heard, and look upon the words here; a new beginning has found you, but what say you to that, I just wonder.
We are now armed with Faith

A cab driver continues to recover after police say he was beaten, robbed and locked inside the trunk of his own cab.
Investigators say it happened last Thursday around 11:15 p.m. in Southwest Philadelphia. A 53-year-old cab driver was parked at the 69th Street Terminal waiting for fares when he was allegedly approached by two men who asked to be taken to Island and Lindbergh Boulevard.
When the cab driver arrived on Lindbergh, police say the suspects told him to pull over two blocks away from Island. Once the driver pulled over, one suspect allegedly took a belt and wrapped it around his neck, choking him. The second suspect then allegedly went through his pockets and stole a wallet with $100, credit cards, debit cards and ID inside while threatening to shoot and kill him.
Credit: Philadelphia Police
The men then forced the cab driver into the trunk of his own cab and began to beat him until he gave them the security codes to his ATM cards, according to investigators. The suspects then allegedly locked him inside the trunk and drove around in his cab for about 20 minutes.
Police say the suspects finally stopped and told the cab driver to count to 100 before getting out of the trunk. After the full count, the cab driver got out and called dispatch for help, according to investigators. Police say the cab driver then drove to his base on the 6700 block of Upland Street and called police.
Credit: Philadelphia Police
Police arrived at the base shortly before 1 a.m. on Friday and say the victim had severe facial injuries. He was treated at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. He is currently in fair condition. The cab company's owner is currently raising funds to help pay for the victim's medical expenses.
Both suspects were captured on surveillance video walking through the 69th Street Terminal minutes before the robbery. If you have any information on their identities, please call Philadelphia Police.

Allstate says it has hit a major 'mile'stone in July as its Drivewise customers register more than one billion miles driven over the course of about 38 million driving hours of data.
Meanwhile, the usage-based insurance product launched in Kentucky and Montana on Sept. 9, making the product available in 22 states.
Drivewise measures drivers' mileage, hard braking, excessive speed, and the time of day when an automobile is used to calculate insurance premiums savings. Once a driver is signed up to use Drivewise, he receive savings equal to 10 percent of premium. After the first six months of use, customer savings are based on driving performance calculated from the data collected.
Allstate says seven of 10 Drivewise users are saving money and no one gets premiums increase for using the product. Of those getting a discount, the average savings is about 14 percent per vehicle.
RELATED: Addressing Drivers' Telematics Concerns Key to Cashing in on 'Latent Demand'
Allstate Product Operations Executive Vice President Steve Sorenson says, in a statement, "We are proud to offer customers a deep view into the way they really drive and, at the same time, reward them for safe driving habits – habits that can help make the roads safer for themselves and others."
Allstate continues its expansion plan with Drivewise and expects to see the program available in the majority of the country by year end.
During a Barclay's investor conference in New York on Sept. 9, CEO Thomas J. Wilson said Allstate is "moving from a relationship with customers that's based on restoration to one that's more aligned with the concept of prevention."
He told investors Allstate agencies are selling Drivewise and "customers have responded well."

As I began my morning devotions on Tuesday this week, Syria was on my mind. No surprise, right? The debate about whether to respond militarily to the use of chemical weapons is all over the news right now. Mostly folks are arguing about what actually happened and the larger geopolitical questions that a military strike involves, which are important and necessary issues. But here's the question that was rattling around in my head as I turned to the day's devotional readings on universalis.com: How does one respond to violence without becoming as guilty as the perpetrators you seek to punish?
The Language of Violence
The temptation when responding to violence is to believe that the only effective response is violence. To do otherwise appears foolhardy. Violence is a form of communication with its own grammar, syntax, and lyrical rhythms — perhaps it is the world's only truly universal language, and an ancient one at that. To think we can respond to the language of violence with a different grammar, let's say the grammar of nonviolent diplomacy or, heaven forbid, forgiveness, feels as futile as speaking Greek to a snapping alligator. Your only hope is that someone shows up with a loaded gun or a Tarzan-like ability to wrestle the beast into submission.
What is the world to do when our only choices are bad ones — either respond in kind or sit on our hands while the alligator feasts? And yet, as morally reprehensible as doing nothing is, we must consider that to stop the alligator attack we risk becoming guilty of violence ourselves, perhaps guilty of the murder of innocent victims. That would be a tragic accident, of course; we only want to kill terrorists. But Syrian President Bashar al-Assad says that he's only trying to kill terrorists, that 90 percent of the opposition fighters are affiliated with Al Qaeda … Holy moral dilemma, Batman!
So I was once again struck by the serendipity of the practice of daily devotional reading when I saw that Sept. 3 was the feast day of Pope St. Gregory the Great (540 - 604). I read that St. Gregory had his own version of my question in his head as he negotiated with barbarians at the gate of the Roman Empire – literally! Here's a glimpse of the difficult situations he faced as pope:
He was elected Pope on 3 September 590, the first monk to be elected to this office ... He negotiated treaties with the Lombard tribes who were ravaging northern Italy, and by cultivating good relations with these and other barbarians he was able to keep the Church's position secure in areas where Roman rule had broken down.
Listening to Gregory
Of course, the problem of facing down threats to national security is not a new one. Gregory wrestled mightily with how to be an effective leader without losing his own soul in the process. Here is a bit from one of his sermons that universalis.com excerpted for reflection:
I am forced to consider questions affecting churches and monasteries and often I must judge the lives and actions of individuals; at one moment I am forced to take part in certain civil affairs, next I must worry over the incursions of barbarians and fear the wolves who menace the flock entrusted to my care; now I must accept political responsibility in order to give support to those who preserve the rule of law; now I must bear patiently the villainies of brigands, and then I must confront them, yet in all charity.
My mind is sundered and torn to pieces by the many and serious things I have to think about. When I try to concentrate and gather all my intellectual resources for preaching, how can I do justice to the sacred ministry of the word? I am often compelled by the nature of my position to associate with men of the world and sometimes I relax the discipline of my speech. If I preserved the rigorously inflexible mode of utterance that my conscience dictates, I know that the weaker sort of men would recoil from me and that I could never attract them to the goal I desire for them. So I must frequently listen patiently to their aimless chatter. Because I am weak myself I am drawn gradually into idle talk and I find myself saying the kind of thing that I didn't even care to listen to before.
Speaking a New Dialect
As I read I thought, this isn't a sermon, it's a confession. I could feel his longing to return to the purity of the monastery where he could immerse himself in prayer and hide from the world. How easy it must have been to feel good and noble from within the monastery! How sorely he must have disappointed himself when his un-sundered mind was "torn to pieces" by association with "the weaker sort of men" — and women, I have no doubt. With his sermon, Pope Gregory tapped into my secret heart and gave voice to my own desire to just stop reading the news, to allow myself to retreat from facing the turmoil of this no-win decision. Better to stay detached and safely confident in my moral purity than wade into these alligator infested waters.
Yet, Gregory accepted his "political responsibility" and was astute enough to know that he had to speak the language of these weaker sorts or he "could never attract them to the goal I desire for them." He was also confessional enough — and this is what makes him a saint in my book — to admit just how much he risked becoming like his adversaries: "Because I am weak myself I am drawn gradually into idle talk and I find myself saying the kind of thing that I didn't even care to listen to before."
How much weaker are we than, Gregory, I wonder? What if we become infected not only by idle tongues but the moral blindness of our enemies? Are we even aware of the risks we take when we speak the violent language of those we judge to be deserving of punishment? As we ponder the correct response to the violence in Syria, perhaps we can be guided by Pope St. Gregory's dialect of confessional humility. We cannot, nor should we, hide from the decision of whether to wrestle this particular alligator, but we must do so fully aware of how easily we can become the beast ourselves.

It may be time to put a moratorium on "found-footage" movies. Cannibal Holocaust started the movement, The Blair Witch Project upped the ante, and Cloverfield and Paranormal Activity are nice additions to the genre, but Apollo 18 is a step backward. Billed as footage recovered from NASA's secret Apollo 18 mission, the film takes place aboard the Freedom Command/Service Module and its lunar lander as a crew of three travels to the Moon and experiences some unnatural phenomena. Apollo 18 nails its '70s, government-issue look with grainy, desaturated lunar images, but the proceedings quickly grind to a halt despite the film's interesting premise.
In December 1974, astronauts Nate Walker (Lloyd Owen), Ben Anderson (Warren Christie) and John Grey (Ryan Robbins) embark on top secret Department of Defense mission Apollo 18 to place missile detectors on the moon to guard against USSR attacks. Grey remains in orbit aboard the Freedom, while Walker and Anderson take the Liberty Lunar Module to the moon's surface. The pair plants the detectors and takes soil samples but begins to notice interference and unexplained movement in their equipment. Soon after, the men discover strange footprints and an empty Soviet lander with traces of blood inside.
Apollo 18 saw its release date pushed back several times before limping into theaters last September with little accompanying marketing. Even so, the lunar setting seemed ripe for eerie tension and jolting scares. Unfortunately, Apollo 18 is mostly a bore. Director Gonzalo López-Gallego, making his English-language debut, nails the film's intended look by mimicking the images of period-appropriate cameras, but these stationary, low-resolution shots lead to much squinting. One camera is located outside the parked lunar lander and is set to detect motion, but even this view is unimpressive, as it is often difficult to tell if anything is actually happening.
The best thing about Apollo 18 is its stark disconnect from Earth. NASA is but a voice over the radio, and the film excels at making the astronauts feel completely alone. The divide between the men on the surface and Grey above in orbit is also deep. When communications are disrupted, instructions from NASA are ignored and tension rises among the astronauts. The acting is just OK, and it seems like the men playing the astronauts tried a bit too hard to make their performances feel improvised. The men also lack the chemistry that must come from experiencing the rigorous training for a space mission together.
Since Apollo 18 is technically a horror film, the bits of intriguing drama are not enough to keep it from spinning off course. I am not sure what I wanted the film's big reveal to be, but the answers Apollo 18 provides are unsatisfying. Perhaps the film gives too much explanation, as what little tension there is quickly dissipates when the unknown becomes known. Mostly, though, Apollo 18 is 86 minutes of two astronauts walking around the lunar surface and sleeping in the lunar lander. In space, no one can hear you snore.
It is difficult to rate the high-definition transfer for Apollo 18. The 1080p/AVC-encoded image shifts from a 1.33:1 aspect ratio to a 1.78:1 ratio depending on the scene, and the picture is deliberately rough around the edges. The image is supposed to appear grainy, fuzzy and occasionally washed out, and the Blu-ray replicates this look. The Blu-ray's image is far from demo material, but the disc is technically stable.
While the image stays in tune with 1970s technology, the 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack is impressive in 2012. A lot of the film's mood depends on the audio, and the Blu-ray's soundtrack features some nice directional effects. The LFE comes alive during an early rocket launch, and the not-so-quiet vacuum of space spreads throughout the sound field. Dialogue is as clear as the filmmakers intended, and effects often pan through the surround speakers. The film's few effective scares are benefited by the track's solid range. English SDH and Spanish subtitles are also available.
Starz/Anchor Bay releases Apollo 18 in "combo pack" format. The standard Blu-ray case houses the Blu-ray and a DVD copy of the film, as well as an insert with a code to download a digital copy. Extras are light but moderately interesting. First up are a slew of deleted and alternate scenes (20:27), a few of which hint at a different direction that the film might have taken as it progressed. The alternate endings (4:41) offer several takes on the theatrical ending, and at least one is more effective. The Blu-ray also includes an audio commentary from Director Gonzalo López-Gallego and Editor Patrick Lussier that was recorded before the film sat on the shelf for almost a year. The pair seems excited about the unique setting, and discusses the filmmaking process, the actors and the alternate footage.
Although found-footage films are often at home in the horror genre, it may be time to give the gimmick a rest. Apollo 18 follows three astronauts aboard a secret 1974 mission to the Moon that goes awry. The otherworldly setting is spoiled by a lack of tension and an ultimately silly reveal, and Apollo 18 ends up a bore. Skip It.

Jared Paul, one of many civilians who were unjustly arrested during the Republican National Convention, has finally beat his case.
All charges dropped.
In early September of 2008, Jared Paul had the option to plead guilty and avoid this costly legal battle, but that didn't jive with him and it didn't jive with his supporters. An attorney was hired (with the help of money donations via www.ConspiracyToRiot.com) and we fought the case to the very end. It's been a 5 month ordeal but victory is finally ours!
On Feb 9th, at12:43 pm, our attorney informed us that the dismissal requests
he filed to MN's Ramsey Court were received and the case has been been
dismissed without prejudice due to insufficient evidence. Go figure.
For a full break down of what Jared Paul has been put through, check out his blog entries on www.ConspiracyToRiot.com
The Feb 27th show at the Grant in Pawtucket, RI is still going to act as a fundraiser (as we are still in the red) but this show is going to be more of a celebration of our victory than a request for money. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS SUPPORTED OUR CAUSE.
This victory is for all citizens who are fed up with a system that bullies them into submission. There are many innocent people serving unjust time in American prisons and all over the world. Our struggle continues and we plan to keep fighting the tide. Stay aware, stay informed, and stay involved.
We've decided to leak a couple songs from the upcoming Prayers for Atheists EP on the new PFA myspace page:
One song that marks this victory in a special way is the "Psalm for St. Paul" track, which has Jared Paul chronicling his arrests at both the DNC as well as the RNC. No, we did not know he would beat his case. Yes, we are beyond thrilled.

MANDOe! of Grafwurks says
Congrats to Jared.
Like you stated, other people would of folded. But Jared knew he had a solid support system.
Jared Paul says
Thanks Yall! It's a relief to have that phase of the game over; now it's time to punch back- in 2009, we'll explore legal options of our own!
Justin LG says
Judging by the bottomg picture, it appears as though he got arrested by Danny Devito!

Some Men presents images side by side, of the front and back of a set of vintage postcards that Caragh bought from a second-hand shop in Brooklyn. They are all typed, and Caragh was attached to the objectivity of type, compared to handwritten script. They document what she describes as a 'furtive love affair' between 2 men living in Chicago and Brooklyn in the mid-to-late 80s, she was drawn to the covert aspect of their correspondence and also to the way the postcards describe the universally-experienced arc of a love affair.
The cover of the book is based on the old Dutch passport (which Caragh used to have, since she is half Dutch). It is made with 1930's paper and the title is punch stamped on the cover.

More Coverage
See all of the Sun's 2010 Miss America Pageant coverage.
No fewer than seven of the 53 Miss America Pageant contestants in Las Vegas right now for Saturday's coronation and telecast are celebrating birthdays while in town. Congratulations to Miss Delaware Heather Lehman on her 21st birthday and Miss Pennsylvania Shannon Doyle on her 25th.
Miss Delaware, Heather Lehman (21), and Miss Pennsylvania, Shannon Doyle (25), were presented a birthday cake by Paisano partner and general manager Ryan Smith when they dined at Buca di Beppo for a celebration dinner over the weekend.
Two of the contestants will celebrate their birthdays the night before the pageant at the Evening of Dreams dinner at Planet Hollywood: Miss New Mexico, Nicole Miner, and Miss Arkansas, Sarah Slocum. The remaining three birthday ladies are Miss Rhode Island, Julianna Strout; Miss Nebraska, Brittany Jeffers; and Miss New York, Alyse Zwick.
Ahead of tonight's first of three preliminary pageant competition parades, officials from TLC and the Miss America Organization announced this morning that What Not to Wear star Clinton Kelly will host the one-hour, advance "get ready to vote" special broadcast at 10 p.m. Friday on TLC ahead of the Miss America Pageant, which airs Saturday, also on TLC.
There will be a new look to the broadcast and one dramatically new routine for the contestants, but details will be kept a surprise right up until the pageant starts. The Theater for the Performing Arts is closed and under watch during those specific rehearsals. The new routine will not be seen during the three nights of preliminary pageant competition.
The Friday special, Miss America: Behind the Curtain, will give viewers a close-up glimpse of the pageant, plus a rundown of the 53 contestants — contestants from all 50 states, plus representatives from Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the District of Columbia. The special for the first time will feature never-before-seen footage from the preliminary competitions.
Behind the Curtain will introduce the 12 state titleholders, chosen by all 53 contestants for the first time, who will be eligible for "America's Choice," which allows at-home viewers the opportunity to send contestants into the judges' Top 15.
Clinton also will serve as a special correspondent during Saturday's broadcast hosted by Mario Lopez. This year's judges are radio host Rush Limbaugh, actress Vivica A. Fox, 2002 Miss America Katie Harman, Olympian Shawn Johnson, jazz artist Dave Koz and American Idol contestant Brooke White.
Monday the contestants caught a performance of Phantom — The Las Vegas Spectacular at The Venetian and went backstage to meet some of the cast.
Tuesday morning, 2009 Miss America Katie Stam talked with Pageant Talk Radio host Valerie Hayes about tonight's first preliminary pageant and how the contestants have to face the judges this week. Here are some excerpts:
Stam: "First and foremost, the judges are looking for who will be able to carry out the duties of Miss America. They're looking for someone who has the endurance, who will sustain a positive attitude throughout the year. The year of service as Miss America is very challenging. It is kind of a roller coaster with the thousands of people you meet and the thousands of different appearances you make, and it really is a great challenge.
"They're looking for someone who can truly get behind a cause and be able to talk about it and answer questions about it. They're looking for someone who's going to be able to answer those hard questions. And then they're just looking for the all-American, well rounded, young individual, someone who believes in themselves, who just has this confidence that radiates from inside of them.
"The Miss America Organization prepares their judges extensively. During the week of Miss America, the judges are sequestered. They don't come into contact with any of the contestants unless it is within competition. I had a chance to sit down with the judges and give them an idea of what I did during my year and some of the hardships that come along with being Miss America.
"They treat the judges as though you have the most important job in the world this week because you are choosing the next Miss America who's going to represent all of us for an entire year. It's a very difficult job because we have 53 unbelievable contestants, any of whom could take the title today and do a phenomenal job with it. There's something inside of them that chooses the right girl every single year who's going to be able to carry out the duties and be a great Miss America."
Hayes also asked Stam about the interviews with the judges and the importance of the different onstage categories.
Stam said: "I think first and foremost they're looking for confidence. They're looking at does she have a smile on her face? Can you tell that she is comfortable in her own skin? And then they're looking for someone who is physically fit because the travel is extensive, and if you are not in shape, if you are not physically prepared for the job, I'm afraid that you wouldn't be able to do it.
"So, yes, they are looking for someone who is physically fit to be able to carry out the duties and the tasks of Miss America. First and foremost they're looking for confidence. Do I believe in myself? Do I know that I'm a beautiful, accomplished young woman? Do I believe that I could be the next Miss America? That's what they're looking for."

Would you say that?
Actually, I have had that happen while I was in the army. I had a less than acceptable female civilian nurse who I had fired that filed a complaint against me. I was investigated and there was nothing to be found on me....why?..Because I had done nothing nor had I said anything inappropriate. My integrity was what saved me. My reputation with all my subordinates as well as my superiors spoke volumes in my defence.
I would venture to guess that you were not able to do that because your reputation and attitude preceded you.

Lithopone, brilliant white pigment used in paints, inks, leather, paper, linoleum, and face powder. Lithopone was developed in the 1870s as a substitute or supplement for lead carbonate (white lead), to overcome its drawbacks of toxicity, poor weathering, and darkening in atmospheres that contain sulfur compounds. Lithopone is an insoluble mixture of barium sulfate and zinc sulfide that precipitates upon mixing solutions of barium sulfide and zinc sulfate. The precipitate is recovered by filtration, then calcined (roasted) at temperatures above 600° C (1,112° F). Although lithopone has been replaced in many applications by titanium dioxide, introduced after World War I, it is still widely used in a number of products, such as water paints.

text: Hi Ilana I'm looking at a permanent job at the moment after years of contracting so I'm going the other way from you. Contract work is in my experience more exciting, interesting and varied but you can forget about security, and I would hate to add up how much time I spend finding work versus actually doing any. Fortunately the pay is better and that makes up for a lot. The move from innovating to maintenance mode you describe has been the same for my contract jobs, but in three to six months rather than your two years. Maybe its just due to the smaller scale of companies here in Perth, but its also true that they tend to expect more from contract staff. Good luck with the move.

Mitchell's Ramada to host speaker, not NBA star
A sign outside the Ramada Inn & Suites this weekend in Mitchell states "Welcome Mike Miller."
However, an employee at the Ramada confirmed the Mike Miller referenced is not Mitchell's NBA star Mike Miller, who plays for the Miami Heat. Rather, the Mike Miller scheduled to be at the Ramada is a motivational speaker.

NeNe Leakes News: Real Housewives of Atlanta Star Reveals How Marriage Changed After Gregg Leakes Divorce
NeNe Leakes, the 46-year-old star of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," who remarried her ex-husband Gregg Leakes last year, is revealing how her marriage is different the second time around.
NeNe revealed that it took a divorce for her husband to realize that he needed to work on his communication.
"The first time we were married Gregg was not the best communicator and a lot of men aren't. And I really like to communicate. I talk a lot and I can bring up issues anywhere," Leakes told blogger Necole Kane recently.
"We can be driving in the car [and] he acts like it's driving him insane. We had counseling going in the second time around. I think it helped Gregg to now be able to communicate more."
Leakes previously revealed that she did test the waters and date after splitting from Gregg in 2011.
"When we were apart, I dated and I was just like, 'Uh uh this is not going to work,'" Leakes previously told "Access Hollywood Live." "We're a great balance for each other, he challenges me and we're great for each other."
Still she insisted that the pair do not have a perfect marriage.
"I think everything is resolved but we're just like any other married couple, we still have our own little personal issues," NeNe told "Access Hollywood." "There's things that I love about Gregg and he loves about me, there's also things I don't like about him that he probably doesn't like about me!"
The Leakes' nuptials took place in Atlanta, Ga at the InterContinental Hotel in a $1.8 million event last summer. Leakes previously said her ceremony was much better than the first time she married Gregg.
"Both of us want this, so it will definitely work this time. I know exactly what I'm getting myself into," Leakes told Life & Style magazine. "It was more romantic this time than the first, Gregg and I are real adults, so it was better."

Great pub fare with a twist...... long list of great beers.... menu things written on a chalk board...... the scent of good beer and french fries......
These things make up a good tavern......when the food is killer....the feel is homey and inviting yet modern and hip......and they serve Woodchuck cider :::cue angelic choir::: ......this..... this makes it a Great Tavern.
I loved the look of this place before it even opened....... and it didn't disappoint.
Grilled artichoke. This should be enough to keep you coming back. oh wait..did I mention... it's a brined grilled artichoke,....... yes... you heard me.
This may be the single best grilled artichoke in creation. Sinking your teeth in you get the wash of lemon and vinegar this must have bathed in before it was grilled to perfection.
I've had the burger.... I have to say.... it LOOKS great and BITES great...but I lost the flavor of the arugula, grilled onion and cheese that were supposed to be on it...
still - don't pass it up.......
the fries...... KILLER...... I dare you to eat just one.... I double dog dare you.
Then there is my newest nirvana and food so good it made me order another plate:
the skewered pork belly. This is old school meets new school food at it's best.......
bite sized pillows of just enough fat....just enough meat (or lean if you will) dusted with a breathe of chiffonade basil and parsley ....and the lucky charm...the gris gris that brings this plate over the edge........... a plated smear of seriously old school pu pu platter sweet and sour sauce. This is a complex flavor from the hey day of Tiki/ Asian fine dining that has not a thing to do with corn syrup or food coloring.
This is a melange of flavors that as a whole brings me right back to my wide eyed days of Trader Vics and pu pu platters. No joke...bar none....... they've brought back the real thing.
( simple syrup, honey? picka peppa? worstershire? tamarind? I can't catch each flavor fully... it's a beautiful mystery)
Eric makes a very good side car and lemon drop... he takes them personally.
and dude..... where else in LA will you find East coast Woodchuck? Perfect cider.
and hooks under the bar for bags. They did it right.
Yes..... I'll be back to this place........

I love biscuits. Like, really, really love them. Let me count the ways: biscuits with butter, with jam, with gravy (especially a good Southern sausage gravy!), with fried chicken, or even for the making of a sausage biscuit sandwich…that's just the beginning, I'm sure. But good, tender, moist biscuits are hard to come by, especially when one is gluten and dairy-free. So for us, biscuits are a special event.
What I do love about making gluten-free biscuits is that there isn't that pesky gluten in there, making things tough and chewy. Makes for an easy time – you can't accidentally overwork the dough. And when using potato flour, it seems there is no need for gums like guar or xanthan gum. It also makes the biscuits taste nice and potato-y; something I really enjoyed.
I do have to apologize to you, however. It seems I've been hoarding this recipe for a while now. I've had it tucked away for at least a year, digging it out once in a while, but I've never managed to get photos of these humble beauties. Well, my friends, there's no time like the present. I hope you'll make up for lost time by making these quite often. Grab yourself some potato flour (I used Bob's Red Mill), so you'll always have it on hand for a quick breakfast treat.
Potato Biscuits (gluten-free, grain-free, vegan)
2/3 c potato flour (not potato starch)
1/3 c potato starch or tapioca starch
2 t baking powder
1/2 t kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling
3 T coconut oil
2/3 c canned full-fat coconut milk
1 T chia seed meal (grind chia seeds in a coffee grinder)
1/2 t apple cider vinegar
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the potato flour, starch, baking powder and salt. With your fingers or with a fork, blend in the coconut oil until the mixture is crumbly. In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, chia seed meal, and apple cider vinegar. Stir the coconut milk mixture into the flour mixture until combined and the dough comes together. It will be crumbly, but it should hold together. Using a 2 inch biscuit cutter, press a handful of dough into a circle to form a biscuit, pressing just firmly enough for the dough to hold together. (Alternatively, you can simply form rounds by hand.) Repeat with remaining dough. Sprinkle each biscuit with a pinch of kosher salt.
Bake for 15 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Serve immediately.
Makes 6 biscuits.
