West Ham manager Sam Allardyce declared himself "chuffed" to have finally brought to an end his side's winless run with a late goal from Diafra Sakho to inflict defeat on new Sunderland head coach Dick Advocaat.
The Irons were in contention for the European places earlier in the season, but have slipped down the Barclays Premier League after suffering three successive defeats and were seven games without victory.
Indeed, it appeared set to be another frustrating afternoon for Allardyce, who is out of contract in the summer, after Sunderland produced a solid defensive display and what looked like a penalty when Kevin Nolan was bundled over by Santiago Vergini, only for the officials to incorrectly signal offside.
However, with just two minutes left on the clock, Sakho slotted home after what looked like a foul on Seb Larsson by West Ham substitute Nene in the build-up to send the Upton Park faithful into a long-overdue celebration and leave Dutchman Advocaat in no doubt of the hard work ahead to secure Sunderland's top-flight status.
"It is nice to get a win to make everyone's life a little more comfortable this weekend. We are really chuffed," said Allardyce.
"Even though the game at times was a bit scrappy, we deserved it.
"Yes, there was probably a foul (in the build-up), but it is about time something went our way rather than against us.
"When things are going for you, they go for you, when they go against you they can be devastating for you.
"But on the back of the poor decisions we have had over the past 10 games, it was about time one went in our favour.
"This win now puts us in a better frame of mind going into the international break.
"We want to get all of our players back fit now, we won't have Andy Carroll or James Tomkins for the rest of the season, so these other guys will make the squad stronger.
"Our run-in suggests we can win some more games, to push on and finish as high as we can."
Vice-chairman Karren Brady made comments in her newspaper column that the team were "underachieving" in recent games, and it was the manager's "task to identify the reason and rectify it".
Allardyce responded in his post-match television interview to a question about "underperforming", and then moved to set the record straight when speaking in his main media conference.
He said: "It was getting me to say (something) which looked like I was maybe criticising the vice-chairman, which I would never want to do publicly.
"The performances are there, but the results have not been over the past 10 or 11 games.
"We just have not been able to find the victory we deserved."
Allardyce added: "Even though wins have eluded us, we are on 42 points, which is the same total as last year, and we are heading for probably the best total we have had since we have been back in the Premier League.
"Anybody who wants more than that, I don't know why they can ask for more."
Advocaat, the former Rangers boss parachuted in until the end of the season following the dismissal of Gus Poyet, had named an attacking line-up.
However, former Hammer Jermain Defoe wasted the best of the early chances and defender Patrick Van Aanholt saw a second-half goal-bound effort well saved by Adrian.
"It is difficult to play against their long balls, but we did really well," said Advocaat.
"If Defoe scores they have to take more risks and we would have got more space.
"But I did not expect the goal from West Ham because everything was under control.
"The luck was not on our side. Everybody saw it (the foul) and not the referee, but I do not want to complain."
Advocaat added: "But in just three days, you cannot change too much.
"Now I have the time to try something. Some players have to improve more tactically when we have the ball, so I will take that to the training ground."
Adam Johnson came off the bench in the closing stages.
England international Johnson, 27, has been bailed until April 28 following his arrest on suspicion of sexual activity with a girl under 16 and returned to training this week following a club suspension.
"I spoke with him in the week. Life goes on. He did well," Advocaat said.
"He is a very good player. I was happy I could bring him on. That is good to know for the game versus Newcastle."
Sunderland have won four Tyne-Wear derbies in a row, Johnson scoring in three of those including a stoppage-time winner earlier this season.

Incentives for community colleges to reach out to the poor, and to serve them well.
Our report, Educating Julio, explained how the community college system selects the students who will be served not only by which districts are allowed to grow their enrollment, but also by which courses and programs the colleges decide to offer, and their systems of scheduling, advising, and outreach. The report, and the online maps we released previously, revealed that some of the neediest neighborhoods and districts in the state are starved for the type of programs that community colleges provide.
The new state budget, signed by Governor Brown on June 20, takes two important steps that follow on the Council's recommendations. First, supplemental funding for student support – a total of $70 million – will be distributed to districts based on the number of low-income students they enroll as well as the number of students from zip codes where relatively few people have college degrees.
Second, the budget bill requires the Chancellor to develop a new formula for distributing growth money (funding for increasing enrollment), under guidelines that closely follow the unmet need approach we have been advocating. Specifically, the new formula, which would take effect next year, must consider need – adults without degrees as well as rates of unemployment, poverty, and limited English proficiency – compared to the number of student slots already funded. Those districts with the largest gap between need and current funding would be eligible to add the largest number of students. Further, starting in 2016-17, the new formula will give extra credit – the ability to grow faster – to colleges that are effective in serving high-need neighborhoods.

In the video, we find Justin Verlander and Los Angeles Angels pitcher C.J. Wilson parked outside the Perfect Club, a private club reserved for everything perfect - including past perfect game pitchers and even 2K Sports\' alumni of $1,000,000 winners. Despite Justin\'s many accomplishments, he has yet to achieve perfection on the mound and thus is not allowed in the club. But if he tries hard enough to master the pitching controls in MLB 2K12 and throws the most perfect game in the $1,000,000 Perfect Game Challenge, then Justin might have a chance to finally get into the club.

Porsche reveals 911 Carrera 4
Attention, awed masses - this is the fifth generation 911 Carrera 4, which Porsche is showing off ahead of its premiere at the Paris motor show next month.
What news? In the grand tradition of every Porsche in the history of ever (with the possible exception of the first one), the 4 is a lot like its predecessor. It has four-wheel drive, it's more expensive than a cooking variety 911, it's a bit wider and it's lighter than its forerunner.
Now have some numbers. There's 22mm of extra girth - which accommodates 10mm wider wheels - and 65kg less mass than the outgoing 997 thanks to aluminium-steel composite body panels.
Engines are lifted from the straight-up 911's boot; there's a 345bhp 3.4-litre flat six in the Carrera 4 and a 395bhp 3.8-litre in the Carrera 4S. With a hard-top and dual-clutch PDK 'box, that means 0-62mph in 4.5 seconds (4.1 in the C4S) and a 177mph top whack (186mph in the C4S). That's 0.2 seconds faster than the fastest 997, if you were wondering. Extra lightness also means fuel consumption's been whittled down by per cent.
Porsche has also rolled out an exciting new acronym, presumably to test our maturity when somebody gets the letters in the wrong order. PTM stands for Porsche Traction Management, and it's very clever, working out the best ways to serving up torque between the front and rear axles. You can even see it working on one of the car's new digital displays.
So, the rag-top. It'll be available at the same time as the fixed-head C4/C4S and it's got the same body extensions, all-wheel drivery and potentially amusing acronym if you're a semi-spoonerist. 0-62mph takes fractionally longer in the C4 (4.7sec and a top whack of 175mph) but the C4S cab gets an extra 50bhp, dragging 0-62mph down to 4.3 secs and top speed up to 184mph.
Other news? Porsche's adaptive cruise control makes its debut across the 911 Carrera 4. Oh, and it's expensive. Basic-spec C4s start from £77,924, rising to a massive £96,619 for a C4S convertible - and that's before you've optioned it.
Anybody waiting to sign the order book?
Now click on for more pics of the new 911 Carrera 4

Postcolonial English Development
English has taken precedence over many other languages during recent history. The rise of English as a global language has led individuals from English speaking countries to take the language for granted. In other words, motivation to learn a second language is virtually nonexistent for these individuals. In a specific example, a gentleman from Ireland commented that "Everything that we inherit, the rain, the…Continue

NEW YORK — A year ago, Wiz Khalifa was a relative unknown. Sure, Wiz was selling out shows, but outside his loyal Taylor Gang fanbase, he wasn't a household name.
That all changed with the release of his breakout mixtape, Kush & Orange Juice, and the anthemic single "Black and Yellow." Fast-forward 10 months, and Khalifa's major-label debut, Rolling Papers, is in a battle for the week's #1 release against Snoop Dogg and Britney Spears.
MTV News caught up with Khalifa on Tuesday afternoon (March 29) for his in-store at Best Buy in Union Square, and even he was shocked to see fans lined up around the block.
"It's totally exhilarating to see kids lined up outside, screaming, wanting the album and purchasing the album," Khalifa marveled. "It was actually like a year ago that I first started working on the album.
"I didn't really know where I was going, but I knew I was going somewhere," he continued. "To have it done and to see the full vision and for people to be excited about it and the entire buildup, it's just really magnificent."
Plenty of excited — but also laid-back, of course — Wiz fans waited outside Best Buy for a chance to meet Khalifa and get his autograph. Many of them came out on Monday night to buy the album at midnight and receive a wristband to meet Wiz on Tuesday.
"I love that kid, no lie. I don't know that kid personally, but when I greeted him, I was in the zone," fan Daniel Candelairo told MTV News. "I've been listening to him since '07, so unlike most people out here claiming Taylor Gang — I'm not into all of that. I just listen to his music and I promote him."
Candelairo recalled catching flak for being a Wiz fan back in the day, but he's enjoyed the turnaround. "He's blowing. Everybody loves this kid," he said. "It's awesome. I'm proud of him."

At 100 years old, Fauja Singh is a poster boy for indefatigable spirit. At an age most people would like to just reach, the Indian-born Briton is running marathons.
"God has given me this opportunity, and I feel blessed with this and enjoy running," Singh said through an interpreter. "If I could run even when I'm dead, I'll try."
Singh didn't run his first marathon until he was 89, and has since smashed one world age-class record after another — and shattered notions about aging along the way.
He will be gunning for the Guinness World Record for oldest marathoner when he runs the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon on Oct. 16.
Singh, recognizable by his turban and long white beard, will run alongside 12 members of his London running club "Sikhs in the City." There are no plans for added medical personnel.
"We do not need medical staff, trust me," said Harmander Singh, the marathoner's coach, friend and sometimes-interpreter. "They couldn't keep up anyway."
Fauja Singh, a vegetarian who carries just 115 pounds on his spindly five-foot-eight frame, has found fame in his fountain-of-youth quest.
He was featured in Adidas' "Impossible is Nothing" campaign. He's the subject of the biography "Turbaned Torpedo," which he can't read because he's illiterate. His Facebook page has over 16,000 members. And he received a congratulatory telegram from Queen Elizabeth on his 100th birthday in April.
Singh, who was born on a farm in a remote part of India, admits he loves the attention.
"I cannot think of anything bad about running at all, there's only good in it, because not only am I healthy, but I get the recognition that inspires me and motivates me to carry on," Singh said.
"It's God's will what you're allowed to do and I feel that I'm blessed with this, I look forward to any target dates and when the next event is. I look forward to something like a child would. Like children you need the attention and running gives me that attention."
Singh ran in his youth before taking a break from the sport that would last half a century. Following the deaths of his son and wife, he needed to find a new focus in his life and took up running, completing his first 20-kilometre race at age 88.
His debut in the gruelling 42.195-kilometre marathon was in 2000 in London, which he ran for BLISS — a charity for premature babies.
"We thought we could have a strapline: the oldest running for the youngest," said Harmander Singh, who added the runner has raised thousands for various charities in his running career.
Fauja Singh finished the London race in six hours 54 minutes, knocking 54 minutes off the previous world record for his age.
He also holds the marathon world record for runners over 90, finishing in 5:40 at the 2003 Toronto Waterfront race, one of 11 world marks he holds in that age class.
He covers between 13 and 16 kilometres a day in training, alternating walking and running — the balance between the two shifting as the wheels of time turn. His only injury came when he tripped over the cables of a television camera. He claims the secret to his longevity is his diet of ginger curry and tea.
Fauja Singh, who said he doesn't consider himself old at all, has a message for elderly people, and North Americans in general.
"The first thing is to get rid of this notion that you're old," Singh said. "The other thing is, some people die of starvation in some parts of the world, but in western countries people die of overeating. And they don't do enough exercise to burn it off. You eat to live, not live to eat.
"Many people have been inspired enough to get off their backsides, but I'd like more people to do that. It's one thing to say you're inspired, but another to prove it, to actually do something about it. My message to all elders is if you give up, it's going to give up on you."
Three days before running the marathon in Toronto, Singh will attempt to set age-class records at almost every distance on the track up to 5,000 metres. Because there are no records for 100-year-olds, all he has to do is finish.
It's the same deal for the marathon. Singh's coach said he's on pace to run about 6:50 in the marathon, but going out too fast carries the risk of not finishing.
"The record is to be the oldest runner, not the oldest fastest runner," Harmander Singh said.
Canada boasts its own fleet-footed senior. Ed Whitlock, who turned 80 in March, has been smashing age-class world records in long-distance events, including shattering the world record for runners 80-84 in April.
Whitlock, from Milton, Ont., will be racing to lower that record in Toronto next month.

Gotcha!Apple charges for QuickTime trailers
Beginning today, in order to see some of these trailers in their full streaming glory--mind you, full streaming glory is about 480x320--you will need to upgrade your free QuickTime Player to QuickTime Pro at a cost of $29.99. If you don't want to upgrade, you can still watch the postage stamp version for free, but you won't get the big picture. As Hamlet said, "Ay, there's the rub!" Or in this case maybe he would say, "Oy, there's the rube!" Who is going to pay $29.99 just so they can watch Natalie Portman get her groove on for a few short shots?
Don't get me wrong, I think QuickTime Pro is an excellent product that every streaming professional should have to help encode and create streaming content. Over the last several months, some of the QuickTime tutorials and tricks that have been presented here have relied on the user having QuickTime Pro to accomplish the work. But watching a streaming trailer is not "professional work" (at least that is what my boss keeps telling me), and for the hundreds of fan-boys out there, the Gotcha! Factor has kicked in.
The Gotcha! Factor, as I like to call it, is when a Web site or company gives you the illusion that they are doing it all for you, but then turn around without notice and expect something from you. It's kind of like those free samples at the grocery store. They sucker you in with the smell of chicken nuggets that can be cooked in under a minute, and then before you are able to indulge your taste buds on this little golden tender nugget of chicken (at least that is what they are calling it), they want you to fill out some survey or try the (ugh!) competitors brand first. They hooked you and reeled you in. The same thing is happening with QuickTime; they have lulled viewers of their trailers in with the assumption that they get to watch "large" screen streaming content, only to smack them upside the head with an ultimatum... Pay or watch the smaller, poorer quality, stream. Gotcha!
Apple is not the first company to do this to users; it is happening more and more every day. Variety.com used to give a summary of all their stories to readers of their site, which was often enough to get the important information. If you needed to go even deeper to get the full story, you had to be a paid member. They did away with that several months ago and now are an exclusive subscription site. Gotcha!
I hear dating services on the Internet are a big thing, and for a long time Yahoo! Personals offered this as a freebie. No longer, as they expect Mr. and Ms. Lonely Hearts to fork over $90/year for access to their service. Gotcha!
As a dot-com millionaire (dot-com billions aren't what they used to be), I don't have a problem plunking down my dollar to pay for pro versions of anything, so that is not my gripe. I watched the trailer in the theatre and saw everything I needed to see, and I have QuickTime Pro installed on all my computers. I can go to HollywoodReporter.com for all my tinsel town news, and the last time I looked, I didn't need to scam girls phone numbers off the net.
There is nothing wrong with trying to make a buck, but shame on those companies that are doing so by playing on the weak wills of those trying to get their Star Wars fix, Hollywood gossip or next date. I'm sure there are those desperate people that will gladly type in their credit card number for access to these "bonus" features, but I have a feeling those are going to be far and few between.

"I am the true vine, and my father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away, and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring more fruit. Gospel according to John 15:1-2
"The vine motif appeared in ancient times in Egypt (in the Osiris cult), in Greece and Rome (Dionysus, grape harvest theme, the cycles of the Seasons, , genre scenes depicting the gods of love gathering fruit etc.) and in the Old Testament (Numbers 13:23). The quotation from St John's Gospel represents an early introduction of the theme into Christian art. It must have been fairly simple to adapt this ancient theme to its novel content. The motif of the basket with fruit originates in the Dionysian Mysteries. Christianity had already adapted it in the catacombs, where it was used to depict the Feast of the Messiah (Tomb of Lucina)."
from Coptic Textiles, L. Kybalova (Paul Hamlyn, London; Prague 1967)

Thank you for making Touch up Paint available for my 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. It is a Perfect match. I especialy like the applicator. It allows an accurate fill of the damaged area. I have book marked your site for future use.
R . Timms
Wilmington, NC
The paint for the 1993 Eldorado was a perfect match! This car has the original paint on it and has been well taken care of in its 20+ year life. After contact with a deer caused major damage to the hood and destroyed the grill, I was able to find a new grill, had to repair the hood, then found you guys online. After reading other reviews, I decided to give you a try, and I could not be more pleased with materials I received. I wasn't able to paint the hood until several weeks after I received the paint, and I believe you emailed me at least three times asking how well the paint matched. Who does that anymore? Great job!

When it comes to the automotive enthusiast family, every manufacturer and/or latest trend has its fair share of followers and haters. No matter what the trend is or how absurd it may be, someone, somewhere, loves it. As many of you will agree, the Honda badge seems to attract much scrutiny from those outside and is often overlooked and overshadowed by many of the other 'automotive' family members and their band of loyal followers. However, as with anything, there is a loyal group who understand the Honda philosophy completely and appreciate every aspect that it brings. Not everyone will understand and many who do, wont admit it, but the little Honda's can still hold their own in most arenas within this ecosystem, which is the automotive car scene. Let's take a look at last years WTAC for example, where 2 little Honda's took out their class.
Now, we need to break things down further. Within each following, there are sub groups that make up the larger group, and this is definitely also the case with the Honda scene. In this scene, there are those who want to go fast at the drags, those who want to go fast on the street (unfortunately) and those who want to race against the clock on the circuit. There are those who want to look good (or make an ass of themselves) on the local Facebook group and those who want to snap necks at their local Hungry Jacks with their replica and ill-fitting parts. Finally though, there is a small minority that are like Shakeel Sahib, the owner of this amazing Honda Integra Type R. Those who chase and appreciate the rarest parts that are synonymous with a quality Honda build and strive to make a perfect all round car, without going too crazy in one area.
I first came across Shak's DC5R in his members ride thread on the ClubITR forums. These days, the good old build thread is rarely seen as the car scene has evolved into the Facebook platform however, there are many who are still keeping it old school and keeping their build threads up to date. Now, I must mention that Shakeel has moved on from this car since these photos were taken and the new owner has made this car his own now; however, lets take a look at Shak's vision of the perfect DC5R.
Those in the know would realise that Honda didn't release the facelift version of the DC5R in Australia; it is a sleeker design, that little bit more modern, and definitely sets it apart from the sea of DC5's out there. Shak decided to give his car the facelift treatment all round with the front and rear being swapped over for the newer items.
When it came to further exterior add ons, Shak went for a full Mugen lip kit and that ultra rare Mugen rear wing which isn't easy to find. Shak also had the whole car resprayed in the original Championship White colour in order for it to meet his number one priority – perfection.
Shak finished the outside off with some OEM window visors, aftermarket mirrors and the holy grail of all Honda enthusiast wheels, a set of 17×9 +18 Desmond Regamaster Evo's. Previous to this, Shak had a similar set of wheels in gold which are the Desmond Marquis Promadas but, these didn't cut as the ultimate was necessary.
The DC5 world is divided on what is better, pre facelift or facelift; we like both to be honest however, the facelift rear mated to a Type R and finished off with those Mugen goodies definitely creates a beautiful package.
The wheels were mated with some Buddy Club Racing Spec coilovers and set for a function over form height as he has been out on the track with this car on various occasions and continues to head out regularly with his new S2000 project; which seems to be a natural progression for many ClubITR members from what we can see.
For that bit of extra fun at the track, Shak added some bolt on mods to help the awesome K20 heart breathe a little easier with a Gruppe M intake and Amuse R1 Titan exhaust.
The specs on the Regamasters give just enough poke to look menacing, but not too much that the boys in blue are snapping their necks to chase Shak down every time they drove past him.
Brembos from a JDM DC5R were brought in from Canada and mated to some slotted discs to help pull the car up better on the track and on the street. Safety comes first.
Shak kept the interior mild as he enjoyed what Honda had created from the factory however, he added his own bit of flair with the Mugen shift knob, Momo steering wheel and S2000 push start button. Shak also added a Defi Advance ZD to keep check on all the vitals and upgraded the audio system with a Sony double DIN item.
As previously mentioned, Shak has now moved onto a new project but we know the car has gone to an owner who loves it and appreciated the 'H' badge just as much as Shak does. The new owner has made it his own with many changes, who knows, maybe you'll see it back on STREET-COVER someday.

Abuja – The Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, on Thursday donated blood to the National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS) in Abuja to commemorate the 2012 World Blood Donor Day.
The World Blood Donor day is dedicated to thanking and celebrating voluntary non-remunerated blood donors for saving millions of lives of needy patients.
The theme for the 2012 World Blood Donor Day is `Every blood donor is a hero', focusing on the idea that whoever donates blood is a hero.
The minister urged Nigerians to donate blood as it helped to save the lives of people, just as he applauded Nigerians who had donated blood.
He also called on the media to help create awareness on the importance of blood donation.
"I call on Nigerians to donate blood today and save a life"
The National Coordinator of the centre, Dr Oluwatoyin Smith, commended the minister for his leadership example.
"The minister has shown leadership example by donating blood today, to help save a life and we call on well meaning Nigerians to follow this example and be part of the this noble act."
Also that some people were seen at the centre waiting to donate blood.
The WHO chose June 14 as the day to recognise the millions of people who save lives and improve the health of others by donating blood.
The day highlights the need to regularly give blood to prevent shortages in hospitals and clinics, particularly in developing countries where quantities of blood are very limited

link is borked.
is it again.
is it again.
new that guitar is around $250 and the case sells for $89.
so at $140 it's a good deal providing it's all straight.
look it over good, check the neck relief, make sure the pots all work.
make sure you like the neck thickness... etc etc etc.
if you do, then $140 for that is a very nice deal indeed.
then put a bigsby on it.
How much would I get from a used EMG-81? I'm thinking of selling the 81, getting cheap pickups for my Ibanez then using the EMG in a trade for the V-200. The V is $229 sticker price, the guy said $150 cash... how much do you think the price would be if I threw in the EMG?

I have used this embelishment many time. I goes well with my older daughters and their family pictures and just great with my grandchildren and great grandchildren. Some times I cut the circle on top off and nestle it among flower embelishments. Some times on younger children's pages I hang it from a thin ribbon and let if move freely. Either way it says it all for me.

It was a pretty "regular" week although it was our week to host Chris and Louise here for cards and dinner and I was swamped with work, so I opted for a ready-made lasagna from Costco. Along with some mixed (organic) salad greens and garlic knot rolls (also bought) it made a tasty dinner we all enjoyed. Maybe not as "real-food" as my ideal, but as I've always said, this is also real-life and I think it's important to find the balance that works for you and your family.
The way I look at it, ANY meal that's made from quality ingredients, ideally at home without odd additives, organic when possible is an improvement over the "standard" diet, so I try not to obsess over it. We eat what we're offered when we're someone's guests and as you can see we still occasionally eat fast food or prepared convenience items by choice at home. But SO much less than in years past. That pan of lasagna is huge, so we're actually having it again tonight (Monday) with another salad. No apologies here! 😉
What did YOU eat this week?

The 14 year old kid in the picture on the right was named Aitzaz Hasan Bangash. His name is a difficult one to remember for westerners, but that is a pity, because he ended his life as a true hero.
Last Monday Aitzaz was lingering out of school with two friends in the small shiite town of Ibrahimzai, near the Pakistani capital Islamabad. Just before getting in they were approached by a 20-year-old who claimed he wanted to enrol to the school. The students realized that he was concealing a bomb and planned to blow up the school.
While Aitzaz's two friends ran away, he instead chased the terrorist, and as he caught him the bomb exploded, killing both. With his act Aitzaz saved the life of many of the 2000 students in the school.
The Lashkar-e-Jhangvi group, a sunni radical movement, later claimed responsibility for the attack.
Aitzaz, 14 Years, Hero

I'm sure, both people killed will be considered heroes by their camps... :-\
It's very sad, but not quite new in human history, the people killed another innocent people
just because of their religion (and fight for power of their leaders).

If Aitzaz had been in the military, his actions would have earned him a medal of honor. He deserves recognition and praise for his selfless sacrifice for his fellow students.

Here's what I've been reading, watching, listening to, and savoring this month!
Thanks to Goodreads and several bloggers I've been following lately, I've rediscovered my love of fiction in a big way. Recent favorites include Eleanor & Park, Me Before You, Tell the Wolves I'm Home, and - currently - The Fault In Our Stars. I plan to dive into The Goldfinch while home for the holidays next week.
Continuing my Paleo/grain-free cookbook kick, I'm enjoying paging through the beautiful Gather and Against All Grain. I'm amazed by the creativity and versatility these authors have found in the Paleo lifestyle, and can't wait to try making some of the recipes.
I love catching up on my favorite blogs in the evening. I make myself a cup of tea (or pour a glass of wine) and work my way through the latest posts. Caiti, Kali, and Kelsey are among my current "must-reads."
I enjoyed reading this Modern Love column, which offered a refreshing and life-affirming perspective on the recent flooding here in Boulder.
I've read and re-read this list, 24 Rules for Being a Human in 2014, several times.
Watching & Listening
I'm always looking for new-to-me podcasts to listen to while cleaning or cooking. Book Riot is my favorite recent discovery, with funny and smart musings on all things literary. It's definitely feeding my fiction addiction!
I can't get enough Key & Peele. These guys are seriously so funny, and I just heard they're working on a movie with Judd Apatow. Hallelujah!
If you haven't listened to Nathaniel Rateliff yet, do yourself a favor.
I also have Straight No Chaser's Christmas tunes on repeat.
I've been really enjoying the Gentle Vinyasa classes at Little Yoga Studio. The classes fall somewhere between Beginners and Intermediate, and I find them the perfect way to unwind during the madness of the holidays.
In the midst of this busy holiday season, I've savoring weekly date nights with my husband. Last week, we tried Boulder's newest sushi restaurant, Sushi Tasuki. We dined on ultra-fresh salmon and scallop nigiri and vowed to plan a trip to Japan for our 5-year wedding anniversary.
I'm savoring the anticipation of a week at my parent's farm for the holidays. I'm looking forward to good food, my dad's coffee (he makes it strong), early-morning talks with mom, laughter, and space and time to simply relax and be.
I've been loving The Republic of Tea's autumnal flavors. Our office buys Republic of Tea in bulk, and it's so great to nip into the kitchen for a delicious cuppa anytime during the workday.
Finally, I've savored the incredible sunrises and sunsets we've been having here in Boulder lately!
What are you reading, watching, listening to, and savoring right now?

Sir Donald Hawley, who died on January 31 aged 86, was a soldier, lawyer, administrator and author but will be best remembered for his accomplishments as a diplomat.
Donald Frederick Hawley was born on May 22 1921 and educated at Radley and New College, Oxford, where he gained a four-term war degree in Law.
During the Second World War he served in the Royal Artillery with Sudanese troops in North Africa.
He then joined the Sudan Political Service, and by the age of 23 was in charge of an area of 10,000 square miles, later transferring to the judiciary and becoming a judge of the High Court in Khartoum. During this time he was called to the Bar by the Inner Temple, and on Sudan's independence in 1956 he joined the Foreign Office.
His first diplomatic posting in 1958 was as political agent, Trucial States (now the United Arab Emirates), soon after the discovery of oil.
The ruler, Sheikh Rashid bin Said Al Maktoum, was in a great hurry to develop his state which, like the other Sheikhdoms, ultimately saw its simple Bedu way of life transformed to the modern society we see today.
From there Hawley was posted to Cairo, in the politically turbulent years under Nasser. It was there that he met Ruth Howes, whom he married in 1964 before they transferred to a two-year posting in Lagos which was punctuated by a series of crises as Nigeria moved from democracy to military rule.
After a sabbatical at Durham University, which, although cut short, resulted in the publication of one of the standard works on the Trucial States, Hawley was posted to Baghdad.
The reason for the urgency of his move was the resumption of relations with Iraq, where he was needed as commercial counsellor and number two to the new ambassador, Trefor Evans.
It was a difficult time under a brutal totalitarian regime, which proceeded to shock the world with the public hanging of alleged spies for Israel, an act that sorely tested British-Iraqi relations.
Many of the senior officials he came to know were later murdered by Saddam Hussein. In May 1970 Hawley was appointed the first British ambassador to the Sultan of Muscat and Oman.
In July, however, before the Sultan had given his agreement, his son Qaboos seized power - and Hawley then became accredited as the first ambassador to the renamed Sultanate of Oman.
Over the next four years he was active in helping with Oman's development, not least in successfully advocating increased British military support against the Communist-backed insurgency in Dhofar.
Hawley described it as "a splendid, old-fashioned Ambassador's job because of Britain's special commitment to the Sultan". He went on to write the first definitive book about the country, Oman and its Renaissance.
There followed a spell in London as assistant under-secretary in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office which included leading a mission to Idi Amin in Uganda, and another to Cyprus in the wake of the Turkish invasion in 1974.
In 1974 Hawley was appointed high commissioner in Malaysia, where he spent the last four years of his service, successfully negotiating some bumpy periods in relations and acquiring a vast and varied number of Malaysian friends, all of which contributed another strand in his profound knowledge and experience of the Islamic world.
Hawley was appointed MBE in 1955, CMG in 1970 and KCMG in 1978.
Following his retirement Hawley used his expertise and knowledge of Middle Eastern and south-east Asian affairs in a number of advisory roles in the business sphere.
He was a founder member of the Anglo-Omani and British Malaysian Societies; chairman of the Royal Society for Asian Affairs; and president of the Council of Reading University, where he remained a highly popular figure.
Hawley also found time to write a number of books, including several publications on the Sudan, and two volumes of advice on manners and correct form in the Gulf - text-books which newcomers to the Gulf, and indeed the wider Arab world, would still be well advised to include in their luggage.
He also passed on his knowledge and experience on the lecture circuit, where his sharp wit and puckish good humour endeared him to all.
In retirement in Wiltshire Donald and Ruth Hawley became closely involved in local and church affairs. In December last year he published a history of his village, Little Cheverell.
Donald Hawley is survived by his wife, and by their son and three daughters .

With the rumoured death of the skinny jean reaching near-critical level, the fashion pack has been going into overdrive trying to pinpoint the next denim trend to dominate your Insta-feed.
Now it looks like there's a winner.
Levi's have re-worked one of their iconic styles and Kendall Jenner is already on board.
Introducing: The 501 Skinny.
Known for its lived-in aesthetic and vintage silhouette, the second-installment of the 501 is set to be a more successful sequel than Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason.
Much of the signature detailing from the original remains the same, including the button-up fly and non-stretch material, but with a fresh new twist.
"We took the world's most famous jean and customised it with a slimmer leg that's cropped to a perfect, versatile length," Levi's explains on its website.
The slimmer leg also means the 501 Skinny will be more fitted around the bum, removing the dreaded saggy silhouette which can often accompany mum-cut jeans.
So when can you get your hands on a pair, you ask?
The new 501s, available in three different colours (Old Hangouts, Black Coast and Clear Minds), are due to drop online from January to March and will cost you a humble $139.95.
The only thing that's left to do now is wait...

Matthew Hayden has labelled Brad Haddin's axing from the Australian cricket team as "outrageous", given the wicketkeeper's trying personal circumstances that led to him standing down for the second Ashes Test.
The Australian vice-captain asked to be stood down for the Lord's Test because of his sick daughter and was replaced by Peter Nevill.
Nevill made a solid debut snaring seven catches and scoring 45, which prompted selectors to keep faith with him.
But Hayden has questioned the precedent set by selectors.
"Any mum and dad who has experienced the issues Brad and his wife Karina are going through will understand there's no way he was in a position to play cricket at Lord's," Hayden wrote in his column for Newscorp.
"It doesn't say much for the family-first policy if Brad puts his family first and all of a sudden he's out. Sometimes the heart has to play a part in selection."
Former captain Ricky Ponting was also critical of Haddin's axing.
"I am disappointed with the decision to leave Brad Haddin out of the Test team for Edgbaston. All reports suggest he would have played at Lord's but he made the only and right decision to be with his daughter Mia who was very ill in hospital and missed that match," Ponting wrote in his column for the Australian.
"I know it would have been a hard call for him, he has been a single-minded and determined servant of Australian cricket, but he rightfully put his family first and has paid the price for it.
"I know he won't complain about being dropped. He is a tough character but it doesn't sit right with me.
"Hadds has been the heart and soul of the team since taking over from Adam Gilchrist. He is a good gloveman, can be an important batsman and he keeps the team on its toes in the field."

Someone took note of my posts about the 4725 South Michigan condo association and suggested that I do some more searching.
So I did.
The renewed effort did not disappoint.
The State of Illinois alleges that several individuals and real estate professionals were attempting to defraud various lenders to the tune of 7.7 million dollars.
Per the complaint, the scheme goes much deeper than the listed owners than the paperwork I discovered at the Clerk of the Circuit Court's office.
Appraisers, Loan Originators & Mortgage Companies were either given stiff fines or their licenses were revoked.
This is one of the few cases I can remember of alleged mortgage fraud on the south side that has been so thoroughly documented.
That's both good and bad.
It's good because it took a confidential informant to bring these activities to the attention of the authorities.
Yet it's bad because there is still no surefire way to detect potential fraud before it harms the home values and the economic stability of a neighborhood.
It also fascinated me that most of the accused live in the suburbs.
Using a pen and paper to do more harm than any gangbanger could ever do.

Advocate for Hunger Relief and Prevention
Food banks play a critical role in ending hunger, but we can't do it alone. Our food bank strategically engages in advocacy work to raise awareness and mobilize support to end hunger, improve economic security, and promote health and well-being for our community members. This includes informing the public and policymakers about food insecurity, educating them on policies and programs that will improve food access, and encouraging them to partner with us to end hunger.
Public policy has an enormous impact on the amount of resources that our food bank is able to distribute, as well as the amount of assistance needed by members of our community. Ending hunger is not only about providing emergency food to people in need – it also means taking action and organizing to pass public policies and legislation that support our food bank's long-term strategies to ensure universal access to sufficient, affordable, and nutritious foods.
2017 State Anti-Hunger Priorities
Strengthen emergency food assistance networks:
CalFood Budget Ask Invest $17.5 million through the state budget in California's emergency food assistance network to help food banks purchase and distribute California-grown foods. The number of individuals served by the Food Bank has increased nearly 75% since the height of the recession, but the number of our neighbors in need of assistance hasn't decreased in recent years. This investment could allow us to distribute an additional $180,000 of fresh produce to fight hunger and support local farmers.
Improve CalFresh program access:
SB 708 (Skinner) Allow individuals to apply for CalFresh and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) prior to their release from incarceration. Strengthening access to nutrition assistance will support public safety by increasing financial stability, improving employment opportunities, and reducing the risk of re-offending.
Strengthen school meal programs:
SB 250 (Hertzberg) Require local education agencies to ensure that students are not shamed, denied food, or treated differently if their parent or guardian has unpaid school meal fees. Most school cafeterias provide meals to any student that request one, even those who arrive without money, but some families aren't able to pay off these accrued debts. This bill would improve child nutrition and educational achievements by ensuring schools don't delay or deny food to punish students.
Improve food security for SSI/SSP recipients:
AB 796 (Kalra) Increase Supplemental Security Income (SSI/SSP) grants for food and living expenses of aging, blind, and disabled Californians from below 90% of the federal poverty line up to to 100% and reinstate regular cost-of-living adjustments. SSI/SSP is a grant program that provides a very basic income to seniors and people with disabilities who have no or limited income and resources. Because they are ineligible for CalFresh, too many SSI/SSP recipients rely on the food bank as their primary – if not only – source of food.
2017 Federal Anti-Hunger Priorities
- Expand access to child nutrition programs including school breakfast and lunch, summer meals, and supplemental nutrition assistance for women, infants, and children
- Protect and strengthen the federal nutrition assistance program SNAP (known as CalFresh in California)
- Support USDA commodity purchases of non-perishable foods for food bank distributions
Please contact Carly Finkle at firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions about our legislative agenda.
Local Initiatives
CalFresh Outreach Reduce stigma, improve public perception, and increase participation in the CalFresh program.
Update: Key achievements of the local CalFresh Partnership
School Meals Outreach Increase awareness, accessibility, and participation in school breakfast, lunch, and summer meal programs.
Take Action
- Sign up for Advocacy Alerts: The best way to get involved in our advocacy efforts is to sign up for our HungerFighters e-newsletter. We will send you monthly public policy updates and action alerts to keep you informed of the issues and proposed solutions.
- Contact Your Elected Representatives: Policymakers at federal, state, and local levels make important decisions that can have a tangible impact on food access and quality of life in our communities. As a constituent, your voice matters. Let your elected representatives know that ending hunger is a priority and help us educate them on what they can do to relieve it.
- Share Your Story: Our Food Bank works to elevate the voices of community members that rely on our programs and nutrition assistance to make ends meet. Help us ensure that your story is heard by policymakers by telling us about the challenges you have faced in accessing sufficient, affordable, and nutritious foods.
- Take a stand at Hunger Action Day: Every year hundreds of anti-hunger advocates rally in Sacramento to raise awareness of hunger and call on our elected officials to take action. Save the date for Hunger Action Day 2018 on Wednesday, May 16th. We hope that you will join us next year to raise your voice against hunger!

While the White House
argues with the Heritage Foundation over how many new immigrants will
be minted by the administration's immigration plan, and
Congress debates how many miles of fencing they should fund along the
Mexican border, no on is paying attention to the real immigration
scandal. If left unattended, this one could cost the lives of
millions of Americans, not just their livelihoods.
Even as we speak, tens of thousands of illegals from terrorist-sponsoring states are roaming the streets of America, according to a stunning new report from the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General.
Although the report was completed by mid-April, DHS did not to release the 52-page indictment of our nation's immigration system until May 19, three days after DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff briefed the press on the administration's immigration reform plan.
Just to make sure the report received little attention, it was released on a Friday, when Congress and most newshounds had left for the weekend, and did not merit even a press release.
It should be required reading for anyone seriously concerned in immigration reform – which may be why you'll have a hard time finding it on the DHS website. You can download it here.¬Ý¬Ý
The report reveals that
45,008 aliens from countries on the U.S. list of state-sponsors of
terror (SST) or from countries that protected terrorist organizations
and their members (SIC) were released into the general public between
2001 and 2005, even though immigration officers couldn't
confirm their identity.
Even worse, "it is not known exactly how many of these SIC and SST aliens were ultimately issued final orders of removal and actually removed, since such data is not tracked" by the Detention and Removal Office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the report said.
The report estimated that 85% of those released aliens "will abscond," even if deportation orders are issued.
Do the math. That means that more than 38,000 individuals from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen, whose identities could not be verified and who could be working for terrorist groups, are today roaming the streets of America.
And if they're smart – and undoubtedly, they are – they have already acquired new identities and have melted into American society.
"The release of these OTMs [Other Than Mexicans] poses particular risks," the Inspector General report said. The report cited a recent U.S. intelligence assessment indicating that "terrorist organizations& believe illegal entry into the U.S. is more advantageous than legal entry for operations reasons."
But the scope of the problem goes way beyond these 45,008 illegals from terrorist-sponsoring and harboring nations.
At an April 6, 2006 hearing of the House International Relations subcommittee on International Terrorism and Nonproliferation, Rep. John Culberson (R, Tx) said he recently confirmed with FBI Director Robert Mueller that "a number of individuals from countries with al Qaeda connections are changing their identities. They're changing their Islamic surnames for Hispanic surnames, adopting false Hispanic identities& and hiding among the flood of illegals coming over our border and disappearing into the country."
In other words, the Department of Homeland Security doesn't have a clue how many potential terrorists have gotten through our porous borders and have simply changed their names.
This should be our absolute, number one top priority when it comes to immigration reform. If we can't tell who's coming across our borders, we will not be able to prevent the next terrorist attack.
The Inspector General report notes that from 2001 through the first half of 2005, 605,210 Other Than Mexicans were arrested for violating U.S. immigration laws.
But a lack of beds at detention facilities and other factors compelled the government to release 51% of them into the general population, while awaiting an immigration hearing on their final status. And in many cases, the government was never able to verify the identity of the people it released.
"It is not clear the extent to which decisions to release OTMs ¬Ýare being made on a risk-based versus resource-based manner," the Inspector General report stated. "Even if risk is considered, the high release rate could undermine the public's confidence in the department's ability to secure our northern and southern borders."
Sometimes you just love the understatements that flow from a skilled bureaucrat's pen.
Also testifying at that April 6, 2006 hearing was Michael J. Maxwell,, who had recently been squeezed out as the top security official at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Maxwell's story, which I relate in more detail here, is absolutely hair-raising. He told the committee of missing criminal files, and of being ordered by his superiors to lie to Congress about his agency's failings. He detailed an open illegal immigration corridor from the Virgin Islands to Puerto Rico and into the United States that was ripe for exploitation for foreign intelligence agencies.
But most troubling were his assertions that corrupt immigration officers were providing documents to alien smuggling rings, that could wind up in the hands of terrorists.
"It is not only USCIS employees who have been corrupted," Maxwell said. ¬Ý"Written allegations set forth by USCIS employees, interviews conducted as recently as yesterday with USCIS line employees and high-level managers, internal USCIS communications, and external investigative documents prepared by independent third agencies, compiled and delivered to this Congress over the last year, make it abundantly clear that the integrity of the United States immigration system has also been corrupted and the system is incapable of ensuring the security of our homeland."
Our immigration system is so broken it cannot be fixed.
Forget the numbers game. Forget the November elections, and the lobbyists. Forget the finger-pointing. It's time for an extreme make-over.
Congress knows what needs to be done. Here are just a few top priority items:
Ä¢ We need to hire thousands of new federal officers in each of the three branches of the immigration service. (CIS, which handles immigration applications; ICE, which does enforcement; and Customs and Border Patrol, which stands at our borders).
Ä¢ We need to institute reliable biometrics in a U.S. government identity document issued to all resident and non-resident aliens. (President Bush came out in support of this earlier this week).
Ä¢ We need to break down the institutional barriers that prevent immigration officers from accessing intelligence information to do background checks on aliens.
Ä¢ We need to actively prosecute corrupt officials, rather than cover-up their activities because they are politically embarrassing.
Ä¢ And most importantly, we need to stop the rush to rubber-stamp new immigrants so the new system can be put in place before more potential terrorists slip through.
The slow-down in the immigration processing is going to make people angry. But the alternative is explosively clear.
Just as we can't make our ports 100 percent¬Ýterrorist-proof (or child-proof, for that matter), we will never manage to construct an immigration system without flaws.
But we can raise the costs for terrorists to the point where they will seek some other way of penetrating our system.
That is what the Bush administration has done successfully with maritime security over the past four years – notably, through the Container Security Initiative and the installation of radiation detection devices.
It's time to treat immigration as the goal line of our national security system, because the terrorists are on the five yard line and the ball is in play.

Budget vs Forecast vs Projection vs Pro Forma
The terms financial budget, financial forecast, financial projection and pro forma financial statement are often used to refer to the same thing. However, while they have a very similar format, normally comprising a balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement shown over a period of months or years, they are each based on a very different set of assumptions.
Pro Forma Financial Statements
The terms pro forma financial statements, financial projections, financial forecasts, and financial budgets are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same thing.
Pro forma financials simply refers to a set of financial statements in the usual format (balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement), which have been prepared in order to show the effects of a transaction on the historical financial statements prior to the transaction actually taking place.
Cash Flow Forecast for Start Up Business
The cash flow forecast is one of the main financial statements for business plan financials. The cash flow forecast shows the cash paid and cash received by the business during an accounting period.
Income Statement Forecast
The income statement forecast, sometimes called the profit and loss forecast, is one of the main statements for business plan financials. The income statement forecast shows a business's financial performance over an accounting period. The accounting period can be any length but is usually a month or a year.
There are many income statement forms, the layout below acts as a quick reference, and sets out the most commonly encountered accounting terms when dealing with a business plan income statement forecast.
Balance Sheet Forecast
The projected balance sheet forecast is one of the main statements for business plan financials and is sometimes referred to as the statement of financial position. The balance sheet forecast shows a financial snapshot of the business at a specific point in time, usually at the end of each accounting year.

Are you planning a trip to Nepal? Prepare your journey well as certain vaccinations are recommended. Even though not all vaccinations for Nepal are mandatory, getting vaccinated does protect you against unpleasant infectious diseases. Which specific vaccinations you require, depends on the places you plan to visit and on the duration of your stay in Buddha's country of origin.
Nepal lies in Asia in the Himalayas between India and China (Tibet). It is a beautiful country that is especially popular amongst hikers and backpackers. Due to the varying altitudes in the natural landscape of Nepal, the country has different climate zones, ranging from an alpine climate in the Himalayas to a subtropical climate along the border with India. In addition to its wonderful natural beauty, Nepal offers many cultural highlights: there are many Hindu and Buddhist temples and palaces to admire, for example in Nepal's capital Kathmandu – a very popular tourist spot.
Regardless of what you plan to do, you should protect yourself well against (tropical) diseases and mosquitoes. Both dengue and malaria occur in Nepal. If you go hiking in the Himalayas, please keep in mind the risk of altitude sickness.
Our KLM Health Services nurses are happy to tell you which vaccinations you require for Nepal and how to prepare for your trip to this wonderful country. Click here to make an appointment with one of our nurses.
Nepal vaccinations: the most common risks
Vaccines can make you resistant to various (tropical) diseases that occur in Nepal. Please find below a list of the most common health risks and diseases in Nepal and read which specific vaccinations you require.
