She is a relic of hereditary royalty in a democratic age. But she is less a misfit now than when we basked in empire. Her grandson and his wife are knockout hits with the media and much of the population.
Our Prime Minister snubbed Samoa's commemoration last Friday of 50 years of independence in "friendship" with its former colonial master in favour of the weekend celebrations in London of Elizabeth's 60 glorious years. He restored royal titles. Even most Labour honours-holders, deprived by Helen Clark of Sir and Dame, queued for the medieval monikers.
We are not exactly straining to be a republic. The Queen's official birthday is still a holiday.
We last year re-elected the most royalist Prime Minister since Sir Sidney Holland, who famously said: "I have been proud to belong to what I am happy to call the British Empire, the greatest power for good that the world has ever known ... our dear old Empire."
The empire has gone. What else has gone?
First, a complacent mediocrity. After depression and war New Zealanders wanted predictability and order, in a stuffy Anglo social code (man earning wages, wife at home with kids, Maori almost all invisible) and in policy settings (ordered wages, protected industries, strictures on alcohol and what you could look at in films, legal bans on abortion and homosexuality, state housing, wartime-like state powers to crush bolshie wharfies).
We had the world's best social security system, didn't we?
Australia's money was worth only four-fifths of ours. This was a classless godzone of "she'll be right" and "No 8 wire".
Little of that is left: the economy is wide open (so we can buy stuff easily from round the world), manufacturing has shrivelled (but what's left is high-end), our money is worth four-fifths of Australia's, jobs are a market risk and the social code is one of the world's most liberal.
There is high inequality and an embedded underclass.
"Welfare" has replaced "security" and has come to mean indigence. In the 1990s and 2000s we tanked up on debt and material indulgence.
We have much more crime, as befits a less ordered and less equal society. But that is partly because we count it more honestly. In 1952, beating a wife or child was a household matter into which police, courts and media didn't inquire.
Also gone is British homogeneity. Maoris were banned when All Blacks toured South Africa. Now, we are bicultural and iwi have political and commercial weight - demonstrated last month in sorting out the Talley's Affco dispute, which has set employment lawyers a-buzz and impressed some senior ministers.
And our own tiny empire came here to live: in total more Samoans, Cook Islanders, Niueans and Tokelauans are here than there. In 1952, Chinese kept to themselves on market gardens. Now they, plus Indians, Koreans and other Asians, are a fifth of Auckland's population and an eighth of the country's.
They are here partly because now many of us can't wait to get out - and can afford it far more easily than in 1952. Most go to Australia, towards which our politicians were standoffish 60 years back. Now, our economies and societies are deeply meshed.
In Elizabeth's youth damming rivers and lakes were unmitigated pluses. Nearly all lakes and rivers were swimmable, even drinkable.
Now, most aren't and the hydro brigade has all but given up.
In the 1950s, we warred in Korea and Malaysia. From the mid-1960s, enthusiasm for war and alliance waned and in 2003 we didn't go into Iraq. We cuddled up with Uncle Sam when the empire fell shy of Sir Sidney's panegyric. Now, we run a (mostly) independent foreign policy and (most of us) know we have to get on with China, India and Southeast Asia.
In 1952, we thought the state our friend: to protect, enable, regulate and guarantee. Since the 1980s, we have grown doubtful. Some even think it our enemy.
We trust politicians and bureaucrats much less and far fewer of us vote and we spread our votes around (99.8% voted National or Labour in 1951).
But now you can get a good coffee, drink great home-grown wine and eat fine food and read, watch and listen to the products of a self-confident culture - all absent or tentative in 1952. We are grown up now.
Royalist John Key, however, harks to the 1950s: the "reality of history", he said last month, is our kinship with the old Anglo four. The "reality of the future" is very different. David Shearer, though chronologically older than Key, has a younger person's sense of that shift.
Mr Shearer plans to speak soon on "identity". As part of that, some MPs are urging him to canvass constitutional reform, including an entrenched Bill of Rights - and a respectful end to the monarchy.
After 60 glorious years how we have changed.

How to Be Creative in Five Easy Steps
I love it when clients ask us for a "creative idea." While it's not much to go on, somewhere between the lines it usually means they want something they haven't seen before. The underlying caveat is that the ideas must deliver. Nobody wants to pay for creativity without results.

What forms of ID must I bring with me when I vote?
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court, asking that the Texas Voter ID law be reinstated. We will post information about this appeal as we get it.
For more information, see this article from The Texas Tribune.
According to the Texas Tribune article, the Supreme Court appeal will not affect the November 8, 2016, election. If that is the case, the voter ID requirements below are in effect for this election.
If you are registered and present one of the forms of photo ID listed below, you may vote without doing anything further.
If you are a registered voter but do not have one of the forms of photo ID listed above and have difficulty obtaining one, you may sign a one-page form (called the Voter's Declaration of Reasonable Impediment or Difficulty). You must then present one of the following supporting documents, and you may vote using a regular (not provisional) ballot:
The parties to the lawsuit reached an agreement concerning acceptable forms of identification, and it was put into place for this election.
For more information about the Appeals Court ruling, click here.
On September 20, 2016, the District Court entered an additional order that the State of Texas must change the wording of press releases, posters, flyers, training materials, and online sources of information to accurately reflect the previous court order concerning photo ID.
The plaintiffs had argued that some of the materials published by the state were misleading, in that they stated that voters who "could not obtain" photo ID would be allowed to present alternate forms of ID in order to vote.
The previous court order said that voters who " 'do not possess an acceptable form of photo identification and cannot obtain one due to a reasonable impediment' may vote after signing the Reasonable Impediment Declaration." The state must change printed and online materials to reflect that wording.

Welcome to the Lieberman Lab at Georgia Tech!
We are interested in the molecular details of how cells survive by recognizing and responding to intracellular signals. Eukaryotic cells employ several mechanisms to maintain homeostasis, and if these systems are mis-regulated, changes in metabolite concentrations or protein production/folding eventually lead to a host of diseases. In addition, some of these pathways exist in and are exploited by bacterial pathogens and viruses to gain entry into eukaryotic cells. We seek to understand the details of structure, function, and mechanism of proteins involved in these highly regulated pathways, focusing on enzymes that perform hydrolysis reactions in an unexpected chemical environment: within lipid membrane or near the surface of membranes. In the long term, we hope to identify small molecule inhibitors to modulate these activities and prevent diseases associated with aberrant signaling behavior.
Our methods focus on protein crystallography, biochemical and biophysical characterization, in silico modeling, and drug design.
Our research falls into two categories:
- Protein Misfolding and Trafficking
- Intramembrane proteolysis
Recent Publications
- Development of Glucose Regulated Protein 94-Selective Inhibitors based on the BnIm and Radamide Scaffold.
- Structural and biophysical characterization of an epitope-specific engineered Fab fragment and complexation with membrane proteins: implications for co-crystallization.
- Structural basis for misfolding in myocilin-associated glaucoma.
- Molecular Details of Olfactomedin Domains Provide Pathway to Structure-Function Studies.

We are so pleased with the way our property at 43 Whitsunday Avenue, Ridgewood was marketed and sold. Not being there in person to oversee the process, was not a problem as Century 21 took such a personal and professional interest and kept us in touch with friendly and informative phone calls.

Unanswered: Could someone point me in the right direction please?
I would like to create a standalone database application to help in the outlining of large projects (i.e. screenplays, novels, etc). Basically it would have to be a standalone .EXE capable of dealing with large amounts of text (for different scenes), include tree views of all data, and able to export/print the data in an organized way (for starters).
The closest thing I have seen to what I am trying to do is a program called 'Power Structure. Of course, it isn't EXACTLY what I want to create. If anyone feels kind, or interested enough, to take the time. Here is the site where you can download the 'Power Structure'
demo. It will give you a good idea of what I"m trying to do.
I have looked into creating this program in Delphi, Alpha Five, and a few other pieces of software. Unfortunately, I don't know enough yet to make an educated decision on which to use.
Could someone recommend a program/language that could accomplish what I am trying to do, and that may be a easy enough for a beginner.
I'm more than willing to throw myself into a new program, I just want to make sure it is the right one to use before I dedicate most of my time to it.
So, if anyone has the time, please take a look at Power Strucutre and tell me if I am insane for even attempting to go down this road. If I'm not insane, then please just point me in the direction of which program I should use/learn in order to accomplish this goal.
Thanks for any advice, I really do appreciate it.

[spoiler]One of my favorite bb-code tags is the 'spoiler' tag.
Unfortunately, it appears to be broken.
Is it just not supported on Sitepoint?
As you can see, the spoiler tag is broken. Highlight text to view.
How is it broken?
Well, it's my understanding (from the majority, wait - check that from all of the forums in my past) that the spoiler tags hide the post until you click to reveal it.
Is that not true here?
It doesn't have to be that way. So no...its not broken.And no one actually uses it here. Maybe in rare occurances.
The way it displays in your post is the way it always has on SP using vBulletin. As far as I know thats how its supposed to be!
My bad.
Disregard what I said (:

5. Try the BALIK EKMEK in EMINÖNÜ
Eminönü is the place where you can experience a spirit of Istanbul. Just sit down next to Galata bridge and watch how people are going in and out of the spice market, getting on or off from the ferry, walking towards the mosque, eating, playing, talking and enjoying life. For centuries fishermen were bringing their catch from the Bosphorus and the Marmara sea over the Golden Horn for sale. No doubts, fish is super fresh here. Years ago, few boatmen had an idea: cook the fish right on the boat and sell it for hungry people. Today you can not miss colorful boats and smell an aroma of fresh frying fish. If your nose and eyes still can trick you, you will hear people shouting "Balık Ekmek! Balık Ekmek!". It's very simple street food. Fried fish in a bread.
It's kinda weird to buy sandwiches from boats bobbing in the water, but also it feels old-fashioned and romantic. Eat this sandwich with a drink called şalgam (pickle juice with some pickled vegetables). It's sour, salty and perfectly fits with Balık ekmek. Best place to eat it, next to big stairs. There are many places to sit and enjoy the view of Galata Tower. Continue reading

Should Star Ratings Be Used Or Not?
Should star ratings be used in the reviews is something that many people would be wrestling for a long time. When contributing reviews on any website, it is a common sight to star ratings that restrict the review to a number within five. People take a look at the star ratings to make a snap judgement. Sometimes, people do not read the review but just take a look at the ratings. With just a glance, a rating of three out of five means average or good based on the person. The star ratings say as much about the play as they can about the reviewer.
The star ratings are similar to a double edged sword, but a very useful marketing tool. If the star ratings help champion a great piece of fringe theatre, it has to be a good thing, consider many. This is an element of ego. Many people are leaving the star ratings when they write about plays.

Hi. I'd like to have a slider on the main page that allows for an image on one side along with text and a "learn more" button that links to the page the slider image is referring to. Is there a way to do this that I'm not seeing with Flagship? Or, is there a plugin I can use within the theme that would allow for this type of slider?
So I was looking at some of your other themes and basically what I'm trying to accomplish is what your "choices" theme does with the slider. Just thought I'd clarify ;)
Afaik it's not possible to replicate the same effect but the Aviapoly slider supports buttons (eg see: http://kriesi.at/themes/flagship/aviapoly-slider-example/ – second slide).
Best regards,

Heat Offense: It is hard to win a playoff game when you have 19 turnovers. It is even harder to win when your best player has nine of them. Dwyane Wade had five turnovers in Game 1, and he is averaging seven per game. He has to know that the Detroit defense is predicated on stopping him. He must limit spin dribbles, be more alert on drives and make the simple passes.
Shaquille O'Neal needs to get the ball more. Late in the game with the Heat down only six, Miami settled for two, 3-point shots and Shaq never touched the ball. This is unacceptable. Except for a period early in the third quarter where Shaq went into a funk, the Pistons have not proved that they can stop him when he gets deep position.

Health care journalists covering addiction, overdoses, and the heroin epidemic are likely to learn that the health insurance system appears to be part of the problem. That's what Terry DeMio found on her beat in southern Ohio and northern Kentucky. Since January 2016, DeMio has been the Cincinnati Enquirer's heroin epidemic reporter.
Rather than paying for the best medications for drug addicts in need, health insurers often require patients to start with the lowest-cost drugs. Then if the lowest-cost prescription fails, insurers then pay for the next highest-cost drug. Called fail-first or step therapy, this process repeats until the patient finds one that works. Meanwhile, the patient suffers or could die, DeMio said. Continue reading

FUNAAB Don Gives Viable Option to Organic Fertilizer
University Don,Professor Johnson Adesodun, has recommended an alternate source to the use of organic fertilizer in farming. According to him, a weed plant, Mexican Sunflower (Tithoniadiversifolia), which when applied fresh as green mature at 10 tons per hectare, provides the same nutrients as other types of manure and that makes it highly suitable for the kind of soil found in Nigeria.
The Professor of Soil Physics, who is also the Head, Department of Soil Science and Land Management, College of Plant Science and Crop Production (COLPLANT) of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), disclosed that Tithoniadiversifolia, was introduced to West Africa as an ornamental plant, but could grow and suppress other plants, making it a serious threat to farmers. Hence, he decided to carry out a research on the plant, he said. In the course of the research, he disclosed that he realised that when the weed plant was freshly harvested, chopped and ploughed back into the soil, it served as a good source of fertilizer for the soil, saying that the application of compost manure would have produced the same result. Professor Adesodun added that other plants that could also serve as good sources of fertilizer include Panicummaximumand Chromolinarodorata,which are commonly available as weed throughout the country.
Speaking on his major research focus, Professor Adesodundisclosed that it centred on the effect of different land management practices occasioned by the addition of various kinds of organic and inorganic amendments on soil physical properties, as related to carbon and nitrogen sequestration, structural stability, crop production and environmental protection. Professor Adesodun stated that the motivation to embark on his line of research was primarily borne-out of the need to manage thephysical quality of the soil.
It is important that the physical environment of the soil is properly managed. For example, by ensuring that when it rains, the water filters through the soil properly without causing erosion and ensuring that when fertilizer is applied, the soil has adequate soil water to make it available to the plant in order to avoid the case of the soil being chemically fertile and physically infertile.So, it is a combination of physical, chemical and biological management of soil that will ive good soil quality. That was what really motivated me. As soil physicists, we look at the physical aspect of the soil in collaboration with other researchers, he stated.
The Soil Physicist made it clear that he was not against the use and application of both organic and inorganic fertilizers. He, however, stated that there was the need to prepare the soil adequately such that the fertilizer applied would not be lost toleaching, adding that if the soil was not well managed - physically, biological or chemically - it would not give the desired yield. You cannot just dump manure or poultry droppings on land, but to improve the physical quality of soil, application at 10 tons per hectare is very adequate for our fragile soils here. The common manure is poultry manure because of what has been used to compound the feed. You know, it is what you take in that comes out. Poultry manure is the best, when compared to other types.
Speaking on his other research areas, Professor Adesodun said that during his doctorate programme, he had worked on the bioremediation of polluted soils and that he still intends to return to soil pollution studies.Lamenting that the country was not adequately managing its soils for sustainable development, he said Nigerians seem to be very ignorant about the relevance of soil to our life. Soil is fundamental to life on earth here. So, whatever we do, whether agronomic or non-agronomic projects, it is expected that a soil test is first carried out. Some come for soil test when they need to get a bank loan, which requires land evaluation. But generally, people do not carry out these tests and that is why we have low yield from our agricultural activities as well asfailed projects such as roads, buildings etc.. Before you start any project, a soil test must be carried out to know the nature of the soil as most failed building or road projects are linked to the soil.
Speaking further, he disclosed that We have not been carrying out adequate soil tests in the country, but we have only been paying lip service. So, for us to have a sustainable society, soil test is a basic requirement because soil is the basic source of man. My candid advice isat individual level, individualsshould manage their soils in such a way that this resource will be available for both the present and future generation; and at the government level or corporate level, informationsustainable soil management needs to be disseminated and government is in the best position to do that. For example, carrying out community awareness by inviting scientists to advice and educate farmers as well as users, as most researches also need to be supported and be made available to the public through workshops and which takes a lot of money. Also, at the international level, organisations such as the Food andAgriculture Organisation (FAO) and the World Bank need do more bypulling togetheravailable information onglobal soil resources and make them available to the community as a whole.
Nigeria pays lip service to research generally. Many people are not paying attention to research and most researches done are at the individual level, particularly, by academics (because if you do not publish, youll perish). Also, there is inadequate support from government and industries such as the agro-service providers, as they do not involve experts in carrying out proper research because it involves money. Nigeria needs to stop paying lip service to research and fund it properly. Researchers also need to be truthful in what they do and not just focus on money, as many people now consider how much they will first make without focusing on the benefits to the people, Professor Adesodun added.

Discussion in 'Lawn Mowing' started by GrassesGuy, Apr 7, 2011.
another here today-gone tomorrow offering from hd
Thank you for your interest in this mower.
We appreciate feedback from anyone who has tested the mowers...or maybe at least seen one.
GXi Outdoor Power, headquartered in NC designs and manufactures these mowers exclusively for The Home Depot.
GXi has approximately 500 service centers throughout the USA plus GXi supports several of the service center networks through the mass retailers.
GXi manufactures all the BEAST products (walk behinds, brush mowers, tow behinds, chipper shredders, ZTRs, snow blowers) and is also the licensee for all STANLEY branded power equipment in the marketplace (pressure washers, mowers, chippers, generators, snow blowers...).
Parts are available direct from GXi or through service centers and several parts distributors. Please let us know if you are aware of any parts issues. We have over $1 million of mower parts in NC and we ship about 95% of parts orders within 24 hours via FedEx. Effective next month parts like belts, blades, hydros and spindles can be ordered on HomeDepot.com and will be shipped within 48 hours from the time you place the Home Depot order.
The mowers include a 3 year engine warranty and 2 year mower warranty for commercial duty service.
The 62" Z-BEAST w/ 31hp Kawasaki, 7 gauge deck and ROPS for $4,999 is the top of the line BEAST model this year. We believe the mower compares very well with regards to cut quality, speed, durability, service and spare parts.
Clearly there are some savings associated with not going through a distributor-dealer network and these savings are passed on to the consumer by Home Depot. On the other hand you don't have the superior local support some dealers offer. These mowers offer you a choice. If you value the service of your local dealer and it is worth the premium, then that may be the best option for you.
GXi believes the 62" Z-BEAST at $4,999 leads this industry for a commercial duty mower. It may not be the perfect mower for everyone, but we think it represents an excellent value for many commercial mower users.
Similarly the 54" Z-BEAST with all the same features and warranty plus a 22 hp Subaru engine is price at $3,799.
We invite you to check out the entire product line on the BEAST web site or on HomeDepot.com
We hope you get a chance to try one. We look forward to your feedback.
Again, thank you for your interest.
I am available on this site to answer any more questions you may have.
I certainly hope not! GXi has made power equipment for 10 years and has seen a lot of growth at a time when the industry is down. While our competitors were hunkering down due to the economy GXi has expanded its product line, continued with R&D and invested in a lot of new tooling and equipment. We hope these strategic moves position GXi very well for the future.
Here's my question. Any other major manufacturer freely admits if a particular model is suited for "estate" or "LIGHT commercial" use. Nobody has a model that they feel comfortable labeling Professional or Commercial use anywhere near that price. What corners have been cut to reach that price point? I don't see a lot of Subaru engines in the commercial world. I hope they build better engines now then when they produced cars. Certain universal items such as pumps, motors, spindle assy are already at a set price regardless of which company bolts them on their frame. That leaves less metal and quality control as the only places to trim the fat. Or have the big manufacturers led us down the marketing path into believing a new ZTR really costs twice as much to produce?
Posted via Mobile Device
The best question ever asked on this site! I am just as curious to your reply Gordon.
Posted via Mobile Device
I don't think there is any one single answer to this question. I do not have access to say Toro or John Deere's costs. I can speculate the biggest savings are approximately in the following order:
- No middle man or distributor
- Home Depot expects less margin than most local dealers require to operate
- GXi is a low overhead, lean organization (no corp. jets, marble HQs, million $ marketing budgets or big salary CEOs)
- The mowers take advantage of being clean sheet designs with no legacy carry-over issues.
- The mowers were specifically designed to be low cost to manufacture so complexity and cost were engineered out of many parts from the beginning.
- Components were selected after an aggressive purchasing process. Suppliers that wanted too much money for their parts we engineered out of the mowers in favor of suppliers that were cooperative.
- GXi is quite vertically integrated, allowing the company to select materials and processes that we know we can accomplish at a low cost (eg. we can galvanize less expensively than paint so all small parts are galvanized, we can cast some parts less expensively than machine them so we designed them to be cast, etc.)
- The mowers are deigned to be lowest cost possible to ship. Shipping costs are a significant cost driver. For instance the lower half of the roll bar is actually part of the shipping rack...so we can offer a roll bar at no extra charge...etc.
- GXi is aggressive. We know that to gain market share we must have a superior value proposition. There is no point going head-on with a similar mower to the incumbents, at the same dealers, with an $8,000 mower. There are enough companies competing there already (maybe too many).
Again, there is no "silver bullet" when it comes to cost. It is the result of a thousand decisions where each time, meeting cost targets was an objective, along with durability and performance.
The desire was to design a robust, durable line of mowers that cuts grass very well and include features most users desire in a commercial mower at the lowest possible cost. We think we have made some very good choices. We believe the mower is a very good, solid, capable machine. Landscapers are not a bashful group. If we made some bad choices we will surely hear about them on this site...and we will address them.
There is no such thing as "the perfect mower". Just look at all the lively discussion on this site! People argue all day long about Toro versus John Deere versus Hustler...etc. We hope we have struck a mix of performance / features / cost that appeals to a lot of users. We know we cannot please everybody. Thus feedback must be sorted through for "preferences" versus real "shortcomings". Your assistance with this is helpful.
We look forward to your feedback.
I will do my best to answer any other questions you may have.
So how many are available to be demo'd in the real world? Don't get me wrong, any company that employs American workers is a step in the right direction. People are resistant to change and you have a large audience here. Blind faith alone will not get these guys to switch brands. Having well versed HD employess will help too. Rapid parts availability and shipping has proven a winning strategy with BOP
Posted via Mobile Device
You are fortunate to be in the Tampa area. There are several Home Depot stores in your area that have had the BEAST mowers in stock this spring. I am told several stores sold them within hours of their arrival at the stores. Additionally, about 150 Home Depot lawn and garden employees received some initial training on commercial mowers and were able to test drive the BEAST products in Tampa about 4 weeks ago.
Your best bet for a demo in the near term is to ask your local Home Depot store to bring one in for you to evaluate. Most Home Depot stores will do this for a customer. Longer term, they will be available at all the bigger / busier Home Depot store locations.
Ok I just deteacted the first problem with this mower. You say components were agressively purchased and manuufactures that want to much money you excluded. Ok well most of the commercial grade mowers in the industry utilize the same components. So now the real question is how well does the mower hold up in real world operation. Not on a test lawn but on hills, ditches, transpoerted on trailers that hit pot holes, and of course hours of operation in all weather elements. THAT MY FRIEND IS THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION.

Ours contains only pure cane sugar and triple-filtered water for a staple that takes the guesswork out of making cocktails that need a dollop of sweet. So easy to use it's hard to imagine living without once you've created the perfect Daiquiri or Gin Rickey. This is the original inspiration for our "Simple Cocktails."
Did you know: Simple Syrup is granulated sugar and hot water, blended and cooled. But it's not always simple – using the right water temperature is imperative to getting the correct viscosity in the finished syrup.

Lentil Soup
Steve Peters
Lentil soup always reminds me of visits to my grandmother's house. It is one of her favorite dishes to make. She likes to cook fairly simple (probably due to an unadventurous grandfather) and lentils, unlike most other dried beans, cook up rather quickly and don't require pre-soaking. They also do a great job of absorbing other flavors. That's probably why she would always add different vegetables in the soup, especially garlic.
Lentils come in a variety of colors: brown, green, red, yellow, and even black. I found all of these colors at the Rutland Area Food Co-op but used a mix of brown and green to stick with this month's brown foods theme. As I always say, buy in the bulk section! It saves you money and you only need to buy as much as you need. It also makes it easy to try out new items you would rather not risk spending much money on.
Lentils, although not locally grown, have an amazing amount of nutritional benefit. They contain a ton of fiber that helps keep you feeling full, maintaining proper blood sugar levels and working to lower your cholesterol. Not to mention, a one cup serving contains 35% protein, 36% iron, two B-vitamins and several useful minerals. Wow!
Adding a mix of vegetables that are available locally in the bitter cold of February make this soup a really well balanced meal. Carrots, garlic and onions are all found at the market and co-op right now. The combination is great because it's the base for a number of soups, not just this one. Take a look back to last fall's soup theme and you'll see it's true.I could also see potatoes working well here if you felt inclined. And hey, if you leave the skin on, they're brown too.
I find that tomatoes add a nice depth to lentil soup as well. Fortunately, I still have a few jars of tomatoes left that I canned back in the summer. This recipe, from Mollie Katzen is straightforward with no exciting frills. You literally just throw everything in the pot, there's no sauteing of the vegetables required. I think my grandmother would approve, though I'm sure she would doctor it up and make it her own in some way. Go ahead and do the same. Add those potatoes, or rice, and maybe some winter greens too.
Lentil Soupserves 6+
- 3 cups dry lentils
- 7 cups water or broth
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 tsp salt
- 6 to 8 medium cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 2 medium carrots, chopped
- 1 tsp basil
- 1/2 tsp. thyme
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 2-3 medium tomatoes, chopped or 1 can diced
- red wine vinegar
Place lentils, water, bay leaf and salt in a pot. Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer, partially covered, for 25 - 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prep your veggies.
Add vegetables (except tomatoes), the herbs, and pepper. Let simmer, partially covered, for another 20 - 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add tomatoes and cook another 5 minutes. Then serve hot, with a drizzle of vinegar on top.

These Old School Beauty Products Will Take Any Kenyan Woman Down Memory Lane
November 29, 2016
These are beauty products that will always remind you of your younger days.
Most of these products are memorable because my mum used them. When we were younger our mothers never really trusted us with their beauty products because most times, they thought we would eat them or end up wasting them.
Some of these products are not as popular, but back then, they were the must have products in every woman's life.
1. Fair and lovely.
Fair & lovely was a must have for every high school student. It was meant to smooth out the terrible teenage pimples.
2. Hair Glo.
Hair Glo was a hair brand that was used to soften and help style the kinky African hair. Many women had they smelled fantastic and I remember thinking it tasted delicious.
3. Mood lipsticks.
They are lipsticks that changed colour to pink or red once applied on the lips. They were basic lipsticks but at that time, owning them automatically made you cool.
4. Dax hair oil.
Way before there was Marini naturals, Nice and Lovely or Movit, women in Kenya enjoyed using Dax hair food. The packaging has been changed since then but the content is more or less the same. This was the hair oil that was used when hair was straightened using hot combs.
5. Ponds.
Yes, this is where the name came from. Many women still think that powders are called ponds up to today. Ponds were one of the first powder brands there ever was.
6. Cutex nail polish.
This product is the reason why every nail polish is referred to as cutex. It is still hard to convince people that there are different nail polish brands.
7. Hot comb.
Before there were blow dries and flat irons, hot combs were used to straighten kinky hair. They were placed on a stove or directly on a source of heat. Then the hot comb was used to comb out the hair. I do not know how people were not afraid of this dangerous tool. Imagine getting your hair straightened by a person with a hand that is not steady.
Which are your most memorable beauty products?

Hi Molly,
Welcome to the healingwell Bipolar Forum. I was diagnosed with bipolar 4 years ago. I remember feeling the same way you did. All the new meds had me feeling really discombobulated. I too thought that maybe if I stopped all the meds, things would go back to normal for me. I was WRONG! It only made matters worse for me in the long run and I almost landed right back into the hospital.
Now after trial and error of playing with my meds on my own I know better. Leave the medication adjustments to our pdoc! If you're feeling drunk and stupid, you need to tell this to your pdoc. He/she can adjust your meds properly.
Be open and honest with your pdoc about exactly how the meds make you feel. This is part of the process of your relationship with your pdoc. He/she will be adjusting the dosage/trying new meds to find the one that best suits YOU.
I hope you take my advise to heart, from someone who has learned the hard way.
Wishing you wellness.
Bipolar IIIt is a melancholy of mine own, compounded of many simples, extracted from many objects, and indeed the sundry contemplation of my travels, in which my often rumination wraps me in a most humorous sadness. -- William Shakespeare
I got really tired from bp meds too. The side effects were all too much for me, so I went off all my meds too--first talking with my pdoc before I did so. I really felt great for awhile, but then the symptoms came back and then my episodes were more severe and longer. Eventually I had to do something. I remembered Lamictal was the only one that didn't make me feel like a zombie, so that's what I'm taking now. I would probably benefit from another stabilizer to add with that mix, but I am trying to make things manageable with just the Lamictal.
My advice to you is 1) Tell your doc everything 2) If your doc supports you trying to not be on the meds, make sure you are seeking counselling or cognitive therapy to help you cope with your symptoms.
Hope you feel better soon, and welcome to HW.

This diminutive exhibition features eighteen diverse miniature objects, each of which shows the remarkable artistry that goes into the making of tiny Judaica. Included are miniature prayerbooks, scrolls, circumcision sets, and other ritual objects.
Since May of 2015, the staff of the Skirball Museum has been hard at work unpacking, condition reporting, cataloguing, and photographing nearly 1500 works of art from the B'nai B'rith Klutznick Collection, now a part of the Skirball's holdings. Ten treasures from the collection remain on view, giving visitors a sneak peek at the breadth of this remarkable collection as the Museum prepares for a permanent display. This group of treasures includes antique and modern Judaica as well as 20th century paintings.
An Eternal People educates and enlightens, tugs at the heart and awakens conscience as it explores the cultural heritage of the Jewish People. The core exhibit presents over 300 fascinating artifacts - artwork, textiles, decorative arts, jewelry, memorabilia and Near Eastern Antiquities - beautifully reliving and reflecting significant periods of the Jewish experience. The museum's permanent exhibit comprises seven thematic galleries that portray the cultural, historical and religious heritage of the Jewish people.

Greens Blast Water Body for Siphoning From Streams in Galilee
The waters of Ein Ziv, one of the largest springs in the Galilee, are now flowing into the nearby Kziv Stream in a torrent - quite a sight after years in which a substantial portion of the water had been diverted to area residents. But this seemingly favorable scene hides the reason for the influx, which is that the water has been so polluted by sewage that it is currently unusable.
The Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel is concerned that once the problem of pollution is addressed, only a small amount of water will reach the stream. Such fears are bolstered by Water Authority plans to drill water before it even reaches the spring, which the authority says will not diminish the supply.
The drilling has been scheduled because the drought has diminished the reliability of the water supply in the Western Galilee, the Water Authority said, adding that the water to be drilled would not have been used in any case.
"The purpose of the drilling is to improve the water supply, without harming any springs," it said in a statement. "The water will be drilled from the groundwater level, that has no connection between it and the springs that nourish the Betzet or Kziv streams... The drilling will even allow for a reduction in the scope of extraction from other drilling sites which do affect Betzet Stream, thereby increasing the flow in the spring whose water goes to Betzet Stream."
However, last week SPNI asked the Water Authority chief and the infrastructure and environmental protection ministers to stop the drilling. The environmental groups says that water from the springs leading to Ga'aton Stream have been extracted for residential use and that Betzet Stream has almost completely dried up, leaving Kziv Stream the only stream that is active year-round.
"We don't oppose drought drilling in places that don't cause significant harm to nature," said Yohanan Darom, SPNI's environmental coordinator in the north. "What they're planning to do in Kziv Stream is beat a dead horse one more time. For years, this stream was a victim of the reality in which we extract more than what the rainfall provides, and now we're going to beat the horse again. We, as a society, should be embarrassed by what we've done to our water sources."
SPNI says that it doesn't trust the Water Authority's assessment that Kziv Stream won't be harmed, saying it made the same argument about Betzet Stream, which has since almost completely dried up.

27 Reviews of Labelle Dodge Chrysler Jeep
"See Tobi for an amazing experience with a Ram truck!"- Shaun V
Shopping for a car is terrible, we all know this. But, what makes it a great experience? 1.) Your sales person: Tobi here at Labelle Doge is a 100% true truck professional and consultant. She went through in detail over the phone and email all my needs to special order my dream truck. She always returned my call, and emails. She was always a true professional. 2.) Price: Labelle Dodge has a low overhead, regardless of the facility, you get a great and fair price. This is what we care about right? 3.) Promise: Did you get promised something only to have to chase the dealership for it months down the road? Not here with Tobi. Everything down to the last detail was done prior to my arrival. 4.) Product: I had other dealers make excuses with my special order, delay things and jerk me around. Not with Tobi. So, if you are looking for a fantastic experience, and you need a heavy duty truck, 1500, 2500 or 3500 Ram pickup, this is the place in South Florida to visit or shop online. I should know, I work e-Commerce online in the automotive business. Happy Motoring Tobi!

"Good Experience"- brulaz
Had this Canadian truck brought in late in afternoon cause it didn't start. One of their guys took us to a motel and showed us around town, pointing out restaurants. First thing next day they replaced the batteries under warranty (2 of them, it's a RAM 2500 diesel), then spent rest of the morning flashing the software (6 updates). Great service, nice people, but sure would be nice if RAM could speed up the software updates. The service advisor, Jay Lineberry, was a great help.Read More
"The worse service dept ever, but happy to take your $$$."- D Johnson
RAM makes a nice truck, service departments must be using home mechanics. xxx. Also, the La Belle location needs some serious service dept reorganize and clean house. Lazy and they could give a F about your time. 3 days and 7 hours waiting for new tires only the have tpms sensor not not installed/tightened, and of course they didn't have time to correct today F Plattners Dodge LaBelle. They seem more worried about their lunch while sitting at the service desk.Read More
"False advertising "- Just beachy
Advertise a discounted price that is revealed to include" customer cash" that's not a discount. Sent me their internet listing only to learn there was a typo and that's the wrong price. Advertising no dealer fee only to learn there is a $1,285 "prep" fee. 3 strikes your out. Very deceptive. Sales person seemed embarrassed about the issues when I questioned them.Read More
"Car Buying as it Should Be"- ashelake
Tobi Hingson was our sales rep. on a 2016 Town & Country. She was well informed and very personable. We will utilize Labelle Chrysler/Doge again when the need arises and I'll refer her and the dealership to my own clients if and when they ask.Read More
"2015 Dodge Big Horn Purchase"- Newberry49
My experience in purchasing my 2015 Dodge Big Horn was excellent. I spoke with Tobi before going into the dealership and she was very professional. The professionalism continue during and after my purchase of my Big Horn. I continue to be satisfied with the service I receive from the service department and staff at LaBelle Dodge. I would certainly recommend this dealership to anyone purchasing a new Dodge.Read More
"Another Great experience at Labelle Dodge Chrysler Jeep! "- Ram2500
Just purchased our second Ram from Labelle Dodge. We drive out of our way to buy from them instead of our local dealer that just wants to sell you something quick. Our salesperson for both purchases was Tobi Hingson. She is very knowledgable and sold us exactly what we wanted. She did not pressure us at any point of the sale. She was able to get us a great price on both vehicles. Will definitely be buying any and all future vehicles from her. We have recommended Labelle Dodge and Tobi to friends and family. Great experience!Read More
"Great experience "- pagarth

Julie is a content marketing consultant with a serious problem.
She's great at helping small businesses rock their content marketing but the trouble is …
She consistently finds excuses to worm her way out of offline networking events and opportunities. She squirms at the thought of networking in person.
Julie is the quintessential introvert. Her comfort zone is her home office.
Granted, it's a beautifully-designed space with her favorite artwork and accessories, comfy office chair, pretty textiles, soothing wall colors, and all the spiffy must-have electronics.
Not to mention the fabulous view overlooking her garden and the peaceful sounds of an indoor water fountain.
No wonder she doesn't want to leave the house!
I understand how Julie feels. You guessed it – I'm an introvert, too.
Criss Jami really nailed the essence of introversion:
"Telling an introvert to go to a party is like telling a saint to go to Hell."
But hibernating in her comfortable spa-like workspace and conducting ALL of her business from home means Julie is really narrowing her chances to expand her client base. She's also missing out on making some new friends and meeting prospective joint venture partners.
So, what is networking in the real world?
It's having the human experience of face-to-face interaction. It's …
- Lunch 'n Learn gatherings
- Meetups
- Coffee shop talks
- Local events
- Retreats
- Soirees (Parties)
- Chamber of Commerce mixers
- Book signings
- In-person Masterminds
- Public speaking engagements
- Trade shows
- Seasonal festivals
- Knocking on the doors of local businesses to introduce yourself and your services
Julie needs to shake some hands and kiss some babies.
She may not see herself as a social butterfly but she needs to spread her [business] wings and elevate her chances for greater success as a content marketing consultant.
Besides the obvious benefits, getting out and about will help an introvert like Julie hone her interpersonal skills and speaking skills.
Turning it over to you now
How are you networking in the real world? Are you planning to host any offline events?
Be sure to click the "Local events" link above to see what's happening in your neck of the woods. Just type your city and state and then choose a category. Let me know if you find something that piques your interest. (Example: Business events in Portland, OR)
My fellow carnies (some of the best and brightest writers around!) have a lot more to say on this topic in this month's Word Carnival, Rediscover the Real World: Unplug, Unwind, Unleash

What are the differences that can be found between two persons for a contrast essay?Please write two differences with ideas to support them. I am writing an essay please help.
- print Print
- list Cite
I can suggest one way of approaching an essay in which you contrast two people. It can be very illuminating too. That is to visualize any two people you know and ask yourself which one you like better. Make your essay entirely subjective based on your own likes and dislikes. That way you will be finding out things about yourself as well as about other people. What you will be finding out about yourself will be your values. If you like A better than B because A is more intelligent, then you value intelligence. If you like A better than B because B is stingy and selfish, then you value generosity.
I like B better than R because B is easier to talk to, somewhat more open to new ideas. Obviously I value open-mindedness and ability to listen. I like B better than R because B has a much better sense of humor. I like people with a sense of humor.
Or you might list the things you like about A and the things you dislike. Then list the things you like about B and the things you dislike. Your conclusion could be more about your own likes and dislikes than about either A or B.
I hope this is helpful, and I hope other people will contribute to this very interesting topic.

Latino Review: Drew Goddard To Write And Direct MCU Spidey?
"Spectacular Spider-Man?"
Latino Review is reporting that Cabin the Woods director Drew Goddard, who had once been attached to the announced Sinister Six movie (now apparently scrapped), will now be helming the newly rebooted MCU Spidey. From their write-up:
There has been much reported on and some news neglected in recent weeks. Kevin Feige and the Marvel team will be producing the new series at Sony in what is envisioned as a three part series to come out over consecutive summers. There is talk about calling the series SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN after yet another Marvel comics series ala the last films being called "Amazing."
Feige was allowed to join the process only after Ike Perlmutter, Feige's boss and the man behind the curtain, insisted that former partner and one time friend Avi Arad be removed from the film series. Since Sony had installed Arad as a courtesy back in 2000 it was an easy removal legally. But since former Sony Studio head Amy Pascal made herself a producer on the film on the way out the door, I understand there was a lot of acrimony when Amy informed Avi he was out. Arad will receive an EP credit on the film and instead focus on making a feature out of GHOST IN THE SHELL without any Asian actors.
I understand that Avi's partner on the recent less-than-stellar reboot Matt Tolmach was so shocked when Pascal (his close friend) informed him she was in and he was out he is now wandering the Sony lot dazed, like after a headbutt from the Rhino.
So the thinking at the moment is that Sony will faze out all the Spidey Verse films they were developing. Yes even the Aunt May film (that was real!) and focus on a story involving Spidey versus the Sinister Six. At one point they were developing a film that was just going to be a spinoff called THE SINISTER SIX. That's scrapped but the big news is that the director of that film, Drew Goddard, will write AND direct the Spectacular Spider Man movie.
Key things to look for in the new series:
- No new origin story, Spidey exists from the beginning, taken as a given
- New actor, probably an unknown, he will be specifically based in High School and they want him to be able to grow up into the role. The thought being if this works, Spidey can do multiple trilogies for years ala Harry Potter.
- A major part of the first film will involve Spider- Man fighting Iron Man and then trying to pass the "audition" to join the Avengers
- The first film will involved the Sinister Six coming together with the thought to later maybe spin them off.
Nothing official so, as always, take it with a grain of salt until it's official. But this does pass the smell test.
–George Berryman!
