An operational environment is created for each user organisation. There you can carry out an unlimited amount of projects, i.e. delfoi researches. Also a specific metaenvironment has been created in the NexusDelfix-environment for the development community of delfoi method. All data will be saved on a database, which makes possible the exchange of experiences and cumulative co-learning.
The Delfoi method begins with a opinion poll whose focus will be the experts of the phenomenon that is examined. The opinions are not gathered just for analyses, but the information that is gained from the responses is circulated back to the respondents. On the second round they can then give reasons for their own choices and comment on other's. This way develops the for delfoi method characteristic iteration, which usually recurs three times. On each round the experts have the opportunity to change and edit their responses. The manager who is in charge of the implementation of the research can likewise edit and change the original inquiry according to the way the information formation process is leading to in relation to the research goals. The experts reply and appear to each other anonymously. With anonymity we try to ensure the genuineness of the expert opinions and arguments. The aim is to leave the external interest- and authority correlations outside the process.
The functional services of NexusDelfix require a user name and a password given by the research organisation! The managers also need rights to create new projects, inquiries and operational environments. You can inquire about user rights and program licenses from Metodix (http://www.metodix.com) spokeswoman Jenni Linturi. Hannu Linturi is in charge of the methods and if you have any suggestions for improvement, you can address him. Proposals for technical improvement and additional comments can be sent to Jari Lankinen.
Futunet is in charge of the method outlining and formation of developer community. It co-operates with Metodix, Internetix, Finland Futures Research Centre and Finland Futures Academy. Internetix answers for the implementation and maintenance of the network software.

Arctic Monkeys return after the excellent Humbug with "Suck It and See" Turner's typical wordplay is the strongest factor in what is unfortantely a by the numbers effort which seeks to satisfy the fan definition of the band. Expect more engimatic women existing in Turner's northern stories to familiar effects. By all means not a weak effort as the Monkeys hit some above-average indie pop but follow the expected route rather than venturing in any new direction. A Long suck leaves a familiar if not pleasant taste (too easy) 6/10

Transfer students experience another pathway towards admissions. In fact, nearly half of all current undergraduate students begin their education by attending a community college. By far, the most common transfer path is students moving from two-year community colleges to four-year institutions, although there is considerable movement between four-year colleges well. Many private schools actively seek out transfer applicants to fill their classes.
The quality of classes, combined with low-cost tuition, encourages many high school graduates to continue their education at a community college. In most states, community colleges have transfer agreements in place with dozens of public and private universities. In fact, among all students in the US who earned a bachelor's degree, almost 1/3 had supplemented their college education with classes from a community college. Beyond major requirements within the admissions department, you may consider Brigham Young University Hawaii class reviews for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

College Basketball: Saturday, February 27, 2016 at 6:00 pm (Viejas Arena)
The Line: San Diego State Aztecs -8 -- Over/Under: 129.5 See the Latest Odds
The San Diego State Aztecs and the Boise State Broncos face off on Saturday in Mountain West Conference college basketball action.
The San Diego State Aztecs are 21-7 this season and they have won their last three games. SDSU is averaging 66.6 points per game and they are shooting 41 percent from the floor while defensively they are allowing 60.3 points and their opponents are shooting 37 percent. Jeremy Hemsley leads the Aztecs averaging 13.6 points per game. Trey Kell is averaging 12.2 points, Winston Shepard is averaging 10.8 points and 6.3 rebounds, and Zylan Cheatham is averaging 8.1 points and 5.7 rebounds per game. San Diego State is 12-3 at home and 14-1 in the Mountain West Conference.
USA TODAY Sports
The Boise State Broncos are 18-10 this season and they have won two of their last three games. Boise State is averaging 76.7 points per game and they are shooting 44.7 percent from the floor while defensively they are allowing 72.3 points and their opponents are shooting 45.6 percent. James Webb III leads the Broncos averaging 16 points and 9.4 rebounds per game. Anthony Drmic is averaging 13.3 points, Mikey Thompson is averaging 12.5 points, and Nick Duncan is averaging 11.3 points. Boise State is 4-6 on the road and 9-6 in the Mountain West.
San Diego State is 2-6-1 against the spread in their last nine home games, 1-4 against the spread following a game that they didn't cover the point spread, and 1-4-1 against the spread on their last six home game against a team with a losing road record. Boise State is 2-5-1 against the spread in their last eight games, 2-5-1 against the spread against the Mountain West, and 0-3-1 against the spread in their last four road games. The underdog has covered the point spread in the last five meetings of these two teams.
I see San Diego State winning but the number is too big for a cover.

That's What I Like
- Artist: Spottiswoode & His Enemies
- Genre: Rock
- Release Date: 6/19/2007
Spottiswoode, recently described as a "downtown ringleader" by The New Yorker, is an Englishman who has been on the New York scene for the last decade. His songs have been covered and recorded by numerous East Village and Williamsburg musicians, and featured in a variety of mainstream and independent films Still, Spottiswoode's proudest accomplishment is the almost decade long personality cult known as Spottiswoode & His Enemies. Somehow Spottiswoode has been able to hold together a group of seven of New York's finest musicians, put out a string of acclaimed records, perform residencies at New York's best clubs, play Lincoln Center, tour the country, cross the ocean... even though the rest of the band doesn't even like him. Who are these sad people? Spottiswoode (guitar, vocals) John Young (bass) Tim Vaill (drums) Candace DeBartolo (sax/clarinet/vocals) Kevin Cordt (trumpet/violin/vocals) Riley McMahon (guitar/mandolin/glockenspiel) Tony Lauria (accordion/piano/organ) With "That's What I Like" the wannabe playboy takes his Enemies on a drunken holiday to the Mediterranean. The result? A cocktail of hedonism, romance and heartbroken philosophy. A pop/rock confection deliciously produced by Enemy #5, Riley McMahon.

Skimboarding 2008 – Session #04 – Hiratsuka
July 31, 2008 · Print This Article
When Aya and I first arrived at Hiratsuka Beach stoked for our 4th skimboarding session of the year, we were immediately met with a crowd of "beach football" players who were having a huge tournament. I had never even heard of the sport before. We saw a lot of skimboarders walking away from the beach, though, up on the main sidewalk. I thought there might also be a skimboarding tournament, but I guess since we were arriving at the beach itself just after 12:30pm, that's the end of the morning session for most Japanese skimmers.
Well, when I saw the wave conditions I could understand why they were all leaving. Even though high tide had just past, there were virtually no skimmable waves at all. Like none. I just sat and stared at the ocean for like 30 minutes at first. Finally, with some encouragement from Aya, I stretched and started my session for the day.
The waves slowly started improving, and I was inspired by the spirited skimboarding a "young ojisan" was doing about 50 meters to my left. He just kept going on ride after ride. Such energy! I started to get into a rhythm and had a few big rides as some swells came in. I wanted to have more frontside rides this time, and ended my session with a determined effort to get one last decent frontside carve in.
Meanwhile, Aya in about 5 minutes learned the technique for quickly "stepping" onto one's skimboard! I was shocked and impressed! Learning this technique allowed her to have her best skimming session (of four lifetime) by far. I am excited to see how much she can progress in the next session.
I'm also excited about possibly becoming friends with the "young ojisan" skimmer. We exchanged not a single word all day, but one time I was standing within a few meters of him and gesturing in frustration about some fools standing right in our drop in path, and I feel he shared in that annoyance. Then as Aya and I packed it up for the day (I put in a 2-hour session!), we both turned and waved to the "young ojisan" who waved back, of course he still skimmed on. I felt good. Community. It has been a very, very long time since I've had a skimboarding friend.
The photos below were taken with Aya's Olympus ?1020 digital camera. No video this time because I forgot to bring the Xacti HD700!

What is Accreditation?
Accreditation is a process by which an education institution's programs and policies are reviewed against a set of standards developed by an outside agency (the accrediting agency), to establish that the institution is offering quality education. When the institution meets the minimum requirements of the accrediting agency, it is granted accreditation. The U.S. Department of Education (ED) itself does not accredit any educational institution, program, or course. However, the Secretary of Education has to publish a list of recognized accrediting agencies, as mandated by law.
The four most common accrediting agencies recognized by federal government:
- Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS)
- Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (WCCU)
- New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC)
- Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC)
There is also another group of agencies that are recognized by "The Council for Higher Education Accreditation," a private organization allied to ED. And the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC) accredits distance education institutions and programs. Although it is recognized by the ED and accepted by employers, many regionally accredited schools do not accept the course credits from DETC.
Why is accreditation important?
Accreditation guarantees quality education. The system ensures that institutions of higher learning maintain a standard of education that is worth students' investment of money, effort, and time. Because there is a constant process of monitoring, assessment, and evaluation, institutions cannot afford to ignore quality issues. Students know that when they enroll in an accredited institution, whether an on-campus or online one, they are assured of an excellent faculty, a world-standard curriculum, state-of-the-art library, and other beneficial services. However, getting admission to an accredited institution does not automatically guarantee your academic success.
Accreditation is definitely an important aspect in choosing a college. Studying in an accredited institute, one recognized by ED, also assures you of federal financial aid. Sometimes even state financial assistance is available, if you are studying in an accredited institute.
Another very important benefit of studying in an accredited college is that, if you want to change your school in the middle of your degree program, then the credits you have already earned in your previous school are more likely to be accepted by the new school. Your new college may refuse to transfer your credits if your previous institute was not accredited.
Education from an accredited school is important for getting hired, promoted, or going into business. Employers not only prefer education from a recognized accredited school while hiring, but also while considering promotion. Even if you have applied for a professional license, it is usual for the state administration to consider whether you have studied at an accredited school.

Lawd Have Mercy, Jenelle Evans is Pregnant Again
Well, talk about a really bad idea…
Teen Mom 2 star and probation violation princess Jenelle Evans has revealed she's knocked up yet again.
Star (via RadarOnline) dropped this turd of news onto the unsuspecting public, with the 21-year-old star and her husband (for now) Courtland Rogers confirming the news.
"Me and Jenelle are so happy that she's pregnant," Courtland said. (side note: What kind of assholes name their kid Courtland?!)
Both Courtland and Jenelle are already parents, yet neither has custody of their children. Courtland's ex Taylor has custody of their daughter JaJa (oh.) while Jenelle's mom is guardian to her first child, Jace. But the couple swears things are going to be different with their first child together. Courtland says, "She told me, 'I'm looking forward to a second chance.'"
Jenelle also hopes having a second child will help her get custody of Jace back. "She thinks if she can prove that she's a good mother, she can get Jace back," Courtland says.
A mulligan baby! How sweet. And to think, just a month ago, Jenelle's mom forced her into rehab after she caught her shooting heroin. Lovely. What better way to celebrate getting out of rehab except getting knocked up by your next ex-husband!

Bouncing back from heartbreak isn't Liberty Ross' only bold move
As if having her husband cheat on her wasn't bad enough, British model Liberty Ross was forced to endure the humiliation under a global spotlight. After all, her husband's dalliance with Kristen Stewart was the reason Robert Pattinson and his 'Twilight' co-star broke up — back when the world was obsessed with their picture-perfect romance.
At the time, Liberty Ross made it clear she wouldn't stand for it and called time on her marriage of 10 years, taking a bold step towards initiating divorce proceedings. In July 2014 — about a year after the cheating scandal came to light — Liberty had officially bid adieu to filmmaker Rupert Sanders, with whom she has two children.
In 2012, we were impressed by how Liberty stood strong when the tempest hit and today the model-turned-actress has proved, once again, that her bold move wasn't a flash in the pan.
On February 13, Liberty tied the knot for a second time; marrying Beats by Dre and Interscope Records co-founder Jimmy Lovine in a ceremony held in Malibu. But choosing to walk down the aisle again isn't the bold move we're rah-rahing her for. It is, in fact, her world view that has us floored. "People need to learn to forgive," says new-bride Liberty, who previously confessed to feeling "happier" than she's ever felt, having moved on after the scandal. "I'm in such a great place. All of us are: my kids are great, Rupert's amazing, we have all moved on and everyone is doing really well… No life is perfect, we all have our problems and issues and I believe that it's good to be true to who you are."
Sometimes being "true to who you are" is tougher than it sounds, but Liberty proves it is possible. Now that's a bold move to toast to!

Genre: YA Historical Fiction
Pages: 362
Date Published: October 2010
Publisher: Chronicle Books
Source: 1 ARC Tours
Rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
Book description (from the publisher):
London, 1838. Sixteen-year-old Liza's dreams of her society debut are dashed when her parents are killed in an accident. Penniless, she accepts the position of lady's maid to young Princess Victoria and steps unwittingly into the gossipy intrigue of the servant's world below-stairs as well as the trickery above. Is it possible that her changing circumstances may offer Liza the chance to determine her own fate, find true love, and secure the throne for her future queen?
Meticulously based on newly discovered information, this riveting novel is as rich in historical detail as Catherine, Called Birdy, and as sizzling with intrigue as The Luxe.
◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊
This was a very enjoyable Young Adult Historical Fiction novel. Through the character of Liza, a newly orphaned young lady, the reader gets a behind-the-scenes look at the household and life of Princess Victoria. Liza is an interesting character from the start. Her parents died in a carriage accident, apparently leaving her nothing but debts. Desperate for employment and a place to live, she accepts a position as the maid to Princess Victoria, even though she has no experienced beyond having her own maids. Liza struggles with her new, diminished position in society and life, and also finds herself neck-deep in the politics and intrigue surrounding the future Queen of England.
I was familiar with some of Victoria's life already, having watched and adored the film The Young Victoria. This was a lovely way to immerse myself deeper into Victoria's life. Sir John, Victoria's mother's personal secretary and comptroller, is portrayed very similarly to the film--as a loathsome man obsessed with money and power. As Ms. MacColl points out in her note at the end of the book "he really was a villain. After she became Queen, Victoria called him a demon and noted his cruel and abusive treatment of her in her diaries..." (p. 358).
There were points when I found Liza to be a bit tiring and immature, but perhaps some of that is to be expected from a formerly pampered seventeen-year-old girl. She often envied Victoria for having the life that she longed for, and took many chances in her attempt to have just a taste of that life. I wondered whether Victoria would humor someone like Liza in real-life as much as she did in this book.
One of my favorite things about the book was that it gave an interesting look at life in the period, from royalty to servants, and newspapermen to the poor. I appreciated that the author was realistic in depicting Victoria's former maid--she was dismissed for being pregnant and unmarried, and finding her options limited as a girl with no references, she became a prostitute. Her circumstances were probably not unusual for girls in her situation.
The other thing I loved was that after I finished enjoying the world Ms. MacColl created in Prisoners at the Palace, I was treated to her "Author's Note" at the end, which wonderfully provides historical notes about Victoria and explains Ms. MacColl's real-life inspiration for characters like Liza and her love interest, Will Fulton. I was utterly thrilled to learn that there was actually an "Inside Boy" in Victoria's home, though the real one didn't appear in the historical record until after Victoria had her first child.
I loved this book! If you enjoyed The Young Victoria, you will find this book to be a charming and fascinating look into the life of Victoria before she became queen.

According to Joe Bonamassa on his website... "This is a 1954 Fender Telecaster. Made in April of 54. This is the last of the legendary blackguard series. These guitars are special and sound like no other Telecasters made since. This one came with a lovely original poodle case which made the Canadian border patrol / guitar geek freak out. Of course he got to play it and I avoided a full cavity search!"more

This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!

creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Lee Sin Bruiser Mid
Lee Sin Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Lee Sin is a very strong champion. He can excel in plenty of roles, can jungle easily and dominates early game but falls back late game. He has a great abilities which can be used to secure kills/grabbing kills for the team. Lee Sin literally has 7 abilities which all have some really cool tricks which can be used to survive, secure kills, steal objectives, kill steal, etc. This guide isn't only for Mid Lee Sin however, it is for jungle, mid, top and even support Lee Sin!
Lee Sins Background/Story
As a young teen, Lee Sin was intent on becoming a summoner. His will and dedication were unmatched by any of his peers, and his skill drew the attention of Reginald Ashram, the League's High Councilor at the time. While studying at the Arcanum Majoris, Lee Sin became frustrated with instruction paced for the other students. He spent his free time researching the nuances of summoning in hopes of graduating sooner. He made amazing advances in his arcane studies, surpassing all other students. By all indications, he would have become one of the League's greatest summoners were it not for one terrible mistake. Too impatient, he attempted to test his ability by summoning a beast from the Plague Jungles. What he summoned instead was a young boy, but not in one piece. He barely had time to look the boy in what was once his face before the jumbled human mass fell lifeless to the floor. A League investigation later revealed that the boy's entire village was obliterated by feedback from the ritual.
Lee Sin's talents were so promising that the League was willing to overlook the incident, but he could never forgive himself. He left the Institute and journeyed to the Shojin Monastery for eternal repentance, swearing never to practice magic again. Years later, hoping to atone for his crime with martyrdom, he set himself ablaze as a protest of the Noxian occupation of Ionia. He remained alive in this state, enduring searing agony for weeks. His actions paved the way for a League match wherein Ionia prevailed, but by the time he was doused, his eyes had been burned completely from their sockets. Hailed as a savior, he was reborn, and his will to act invigorated. He joined the League of Legends to continue his atonement with sweat and blood, a true monk's only possessions.
Pros and Cons
-Strong Early Game
-Strong at 1v1's
-Counters plenty of ap Mids
-Can escape troublesome situations
-Harassment in lane
-Has abilities which give vision
-Will fall back in late game
-Requires a lot of skill to play
-Not much cc
-He's blind...
Tips and Tricks
Lee Sin is a very complicated champion and takes a lot of practice to get good at mainly because there are so many tips/tricks with Lee Sin. These tips/tricks are:
-Heal using Smite when Iron will is activated, this can help survive in the jungle or survive sticky situations
-Ward hopping/jumping is a very useful trick. Jumping to wards with SafeGuard can help you gain distance over an enemy or escaping. (You can jump to other allied units such as Shaco Boxes, Teemo Shrooms, minions, Zyra plants and even Zyra seeds!)
-Throwing Sonic Wave over walls into a jungle camp and following up with Resonating strike can help you escape
-Take advantage of your ultimate, use it to kick enemies back towards you're team so secure a kill. (Using Resonating strike and flashing behind the enemy champion and then kicking them back means that they will have almost no reaction time at all, also you can use your ultimate to run gain distance when running away from enemies who are chasing)
-Lee Sins q and e will give vision, use this to your advantage when an enemy goes stealth. If they are close to you then use Tempest which will reveal them instantly, or for example if Shaco goes stealth, you can predict where he's running and use Sonic Wave in that direction which may have a chance of hitting him, then follow up with Resonating strike and Tempest
-When supporting as Lee Sin, buy wards as usual. It can help your adc and counter some ganks (Obviously) and can also benefit you as well as you can jump to wards and kick people back
-Follow the enemies flash (Always wait 2 seconds before using Resonating Strike because the enemy might flash over a wall with sonic wave still in effect so you can follow them over the wall)
Combo's= Q=Sonic Wave/Resonating Strike W= Safeguard/Iron Will E=Tempest/Cripple R=Dragons Rage
D= Ignite F= Flash Ward=...Ward

Full Moon February 2012
February 7, 2012 by staff
Full Moon February 2012, The moon turns full today (Tuesday, February 7, 2012) at 21:54 Universal Time. That's 4:54 p.m. EST, 3:54 p.m. CST, 2:54 p.m. MST or 1:54 p.m. PST. The image at top – a February moon from years past – was taken by Dan Bush. His Missouri Skies Moon Page is not to be missed.
This February full moon goes by many different names. The February full moon was called the Snow-blinding Moon by the Micmac people in eastern Canada. It was the Wind Moon to the San Ildefonso of the Southwest. And it was the Blackbear Moon to the Kutenai of the Northwest. Today, in North America, we often call the February full moon the Wolf Moon, Snow Moon or Hunger Moon.
Every full moon stands opposite – or nearly opposite – the sun. Try noticing how high above the horizon you see the moon tonight. Its distance above the horizon indicates approximately how far below the opposite horizon the sun is at that time.
Any time you see the moon near the horizon, it might have a reddish color. The reason is Earth's own atmosphere. The moon's (or sun's) light must pass through a greater thickness of atmosphere when rising or setting (that is, when it is near the horizon) than when overhead. Since the atmosphere scatters the bluish component of light, while allowing the redder light to travel straight through to our eyes, objects often appear redder than normal when near the horizon. So any moon, full or not, may look reddish when seen near the horizon.

Toronto, Ontario Canada (PressExposure) May 05, 2008 -- Blue Infinity Software has launched a new subscription site for their popular keyword research tool keyword analyzer. According to CEO Chris Lee, "the subscription service is the latest advancement in an attempt to provide clients with cutting-edged and current keyword research â while at the same time delivering all the critical data that you need to outsmart your competition.
2007 was a year of huge changes in the keyword research industry. There have been only two options in keyword research - service based and desk to keyword research.
In the world of keyword research, there were basically two options. On the one hand, desktop keyword research tools[link] like Keywords Analyzer, Keyword Elite and AdWord Analyzer all combined Overture research with the power of third party data as their primary research source. Which has the huge advantage of being free but as it's well known, overture stopped updating their data earlier in 2007 which has caused concerns. Chris said
"Now, as with everything we do â we wanted to provide the best possible service at the best possible price. We didn't want to just simply rehash what others have done, so we set about providing our very own research service." And this time, it took just that little bit longer to get here. Added Chris
"So now, we have put together three different plans to suit all our users needs and pockets. All these plans are way less expensive than the web-based subscription tools."
Here's what you have access with keyword analyzer's database:
1. Overture (Free)
2. Keyword Analyzer subscription (48 million keywords and growing)
3. Wordtracker
4. Keyword Discovery
5. Wordze
Your copy of Keyword Analyzer ensures your access to research that is quite simply not available at these prices anywhere else.
About Keyword Analyzer:
Keyword Analyzer is a software that help small business owners research their market to discover what words potential customers use to look for their product and service.
For anyone seriously interested in getting organic traffic and doing well on the Pay Per Click search engines, it is an indispensable part of your online armory - you simply should not try anything without it. You can get here [http://www.free-home-based-business-info.com/kape]

The XK Community
I love that you write letters to God and then watch them combine with the atmosphere and disperse into the void. Doing this often comes up for patients during XK treatments, but I have never heard of anyone else doing it. Thanks for the kind words.
Please excuse the state of this forum. It is a temporary stepping-stone leading to a full-blown community site that integrates with the database of kinesiology. There are not many members here, but there are about 2000 with practice listings in the database. To make such a community happen, however, I have to learn Drupal, which is what I am doing now (when I'm not seeing patients). I'm trying to create an infrastructure through which people can collaborate on the ideas they are formulating and stay connected while learning and practicing all this stuff. Thank you again for your kind words. I am glad you are here. It is indeed an honor to be in your presence. Be Well!
Welcome Lauren!
Nice slideshare on Orexins.
Please upload a picture when you get a chance.
Thanks for joining!

No question that food is the pulse point of our universe, not just in sustaining life but in some cases, in making life worth living. In her new book, Day of Honey: A Memoir of Food, Love and War, Annia Ciezadlo describes her years as a bride and a journalist in places most of us see only on CNN: Beirut and Baghdad, during the dark, troubled post-9/11 years.
Few authors have captured the true daily lives of regular people in 21st-century Middle East like this. Ciezadlo does in a way that not only tries to make sense of the senselessness of two countries rarely at peace, but also that lets us taste, literally, food that is put on the table so many miles away. In the words of Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof, these are people "trying to scratch out a simple, pleasant tune, without breaking (their) neck."
Ciezadlo has some things to say about why she wrote this book. Most of these are prepared–but she kindly answered the last two questions that I sent her. So don't stop reading until the end.
Q: What does "Day of Honey" mean?
It's from an old Arabic saying that goes youm aasl, youm basl—day of honey, day of onions. People use it in a multitude of ways: sometimes to comfort each other, at other times ironically. It's hopeful and cynical at the same time. One day might be sweet, the next bitter, but you keep going. You taste the honey while you can. For me, it sums up a wise, beleaguered optimism that the Palestinian writer Emile Habiby called pessoptimism: that no matter how bad things get, you don't lose your faith in human nature. Or your deep conviction that something disastrous is just about to happen.
Q. You covered wars, assassinations, uprisings, and Middle Eastern politics for outlets like The New Republic and The Christian Science Monitor. Why switch gears and write about food?
I don't think there's a difference between writing about food and writing about war or politics. Food is inherently political: Who makes it? Who buys it? Who eats it, and who doesn't, and why? All of these are deeply political questions. Follow them and they lead you to power, economics, inequality, and even war. So you could say that I am still writing about politics. Just in a more concrete form than before.
Food is part of war. I covered wars and conflict in the Middle East, and plenty of politics, but the stories I found most fascinating were the dramas of everyday life. How do families in a war zone send their kids to school? Drive to work? Make dinner every night? I found that people took comfort in small, everyday routines—the kind of domestic rituals we might take for granted, or even resent, in a country at peace. One of those rituals was cooking and eating. People can find tremendous comfort in food during wartime, especially when they can eat it together. It's calming, especially if you're making comfort food. It's something you can share with others. And when your life is turned upside down, a meal can capture the essence—the flavor, the fragrance—of the ordinary life that you've lost.
Q. As a journalist, you're used to telling other people's stories. How did it feel to tell your own story? Was it an easy switch to make?
I'm always more interested in other people's stories than my own. But with Day of Honey I realized that I had to tell my own story in order to talk about the people in whose lives I shared in Beirut and Baghdad. Telling my own story was a way to introduce their stories and points of view in a way that seemed more natural, and more honest, than pretending to be a fly on the wall. And that's another reason I chose to write about food. As an American woman married to a Lebanese man, I had access to a world of families and domestic life that most foreigners never get to see, and food was a window into that world.
When your life is turned upside down, a meal can capture the essence—the flavor, the fragrance—of the ordinary life that you've lost.
In countries like Iraq and Syria, with long histories of government surveillance and control, people are very cautious about what they say. They're not going to reveal what they really think to an outsider. They're going to give them the pre-approved soundbite—either "Death to America" or "we love America," depending on who their political leaders are aligned with. Even in Lebanon, which is more liberal in some ways, people are often careful what they say to outsiders. But because I was part of the family, literally or figuratively, people would say things to me that they would never say to another foreign journalist, no matter how persistent. And often the most revealing conversations would take place around the dinner table. When you're eating together, with family or close friends, people don't speak in soundbites. I was able to hear what people really thought. At the same time, I had the ability to step back and analyze that as an observer. (I speak a little Arabic, which helps a lot.) I had the unique privilege of being able to see this world as an insider and an outsider at the same time, and writing about these meals was a way of letting readers get a glimpse of this unseen world.
Q: Why did you weave history, politics, and literature into your story?
This is probably thanks to my background as a journalist, where it's normal do about ten times more research and reporting than what you actually end up putting in your story. The history and politics in the book are only a fraction of the research I did. In addition to the hundreds of people I interviewed in my years in the Middle East, I also spent three years researching food and Middle Eastern history. I read books about the topography of medieval Baghdad, classical Arabic food poetry, and ancient Mesopotamian beer. I went on a history bender. I read a history of salt (by the magnificently obsessive Mark Kurlansky) and a history of sugar (Sidney Mintz's brilliant Sweetness and Power). A lot of these books are included in the bibliography; if you want to geek out on Middle Eastern food and history, it's a good place to start.
Q: How did you decide what to include and what to leave out?
One of the hardest skills for a writer is knowing what to leave out. I would have loved to include characters like al-Jahiz, for example, a medieval Iraqi writer and book lover who wrote an entire book about wine. But a friend of mine put it brilliantly: when you make a stew, you put in a bay leaf. The flavor of the leaf will infuse the stew, but you don't actually eat the bay leaf itself, because it's too hard and bitter. So all this history and research informs Day of Honey, and the flavor is there, but I took out the woody stuff to make it edible.
Q: What was your favorite thing about living in the Middle East and learning about the food?
Reading the oldest written recipes in the world, which are from ancient Mesopotamia (now modern-day Iraq), and realizing that they have a lot in common with the foods I was cooking and eating with people in Iraq and Lebanon today. It was such a thrill to read these 3,600-year-old recipes and see them not just as history, but as the beginnings of a culinary tradition that ended up in the bowl of soup I was eating that day.
Q. What surprised you most about Beirut and Baghdad? How did your view of the Middle East change after living there for over six years?
We get most of our images of the Middle East from wars. A bomb goes off, the television crews go film it, and we see people jumping up and down and shouting and waving their fists. If you watch a lot of TV news, you'd be forgiven for thinking that everyone in the Middle East gets up in the morning, drinks a cup of coffee, and goes outside and shouts "Death to America!" until it's time to go to bed and do it all over again. No wonder we think they hate us.
But most of the ordinary people I met, with a few exceptions, didn't hate Americans. Quite the reverse—they would often ask me, with genuine puzzlement, why we hated them. It was such a perfect reversal of the stereotype that sometimes I almost had to laugh. Many people in the Middle East are deeply angry about U.S. foreign policy. But almost everyone I met in Baghdad, Damascus, or Beirut—with a few notable exceptions—made the crucial distinction between our country's government and its people. That's a distinction we don't always make with them. But we should. And that's why I focused on the ordinary people whose voices are often drowned out by militants or demagogues.
Q. Did you have culture shock on moving to the Middle East?
Baghdad was a fascinating place because it was frozen in time—under Saddam Hussein, it was cut off from the rest of the world for decades. After the American invasion, it was opened up to the rest of the world, and in a sense everyone in Iraq had culture shock. Beirut is different. It's wordly, sophisticated, and yet traditional at the same time. In Beirut, my friends would always warn me not to be taken in by the city's cosmopolitanism. For example, I would often be surprised to hear young people with college degrees, who were intelligent and well-traveled, and otherwise liberal, speak against interfaith marriage. And I heard this from both Christians and Muslims.
One of the hardest things was reminding myself that even though people might look familiar, sound familiar, and eat grape leaves that taste like my grandmother's, they had completely different histories and associations than mine. People all over the world want the same things: to grow up, get an education, get married and have kids and give them a good life. But they want them in different ways. I might not agree with a Muslim woman who wants Islamic law, or a Christian man who's opposed to interfaith marriage. But I think it's important to understand why they might want these things, and that it doesn't necessarily make them bad people.
Q. What was it like being an American woman in the Middle East?
People ask me that a lot. I'd like to say that I struggled terribly, but the truth is that, for a reporter, being female was actually a tremendous competitive advantage. People find you less threatening. They're quicker to let their guard down and reveal what they really think. They're more likely to invite you into their homes and introduce you to their families. Being female gives you incredible access to that unseen world of private life that most Americans never glimpse. When was the last time you read a substantial article about Iraqi women's political rights? Or a long magazine profile about someone like Dr. Salama al-Khafaji—and trust me, the Middle East is full of women as remarkable as her? I see them as the real story, and I think a lot of Americans want to read that untold story. Which is why I wrote this book.
Q: How did you decide what recipes to include? Why didn't you include typically Middle Eastern dishes like hummus and tabbouleh?
I chose the recipes for Day of Honey very carefully. I decided that I would only include recipes that were part of the story of the book—like mjadara hamra, the lentil and wheat dish that my mother-in-law made before my husband and I left Beirut for Baghdad in 2003. The meals are part of the narrative, and I wanted the recipes to reflect that by giving readers a chance to eat a piece of the story. Each recipe becomes a story in itself.
There's another reason. In the book I write about the difference between restaurant food and home cooking. Restaurants are more likely to serve meze—the small plates, the social foods of the Mediterranean, which include hummus and tabbouleh. So people are more familiar with them, and cookbooks and food blogs are more likely to include them. But there's an entire universe of home-cooked meals that most Americans never see, and many cookbooks don't have recipes for them. Home cooking is a metaphor for that hidden private life of the Middle East, and I wanted to give readers a taste of that world.
Q: If you were charged with finding ways to make the exchange and sharing of meals, recipes and food a strategic peacemaking tool in the role of a formal cabinet member or ambassadorship, how might you do it?
I would require each ambassador or cabinet member to spend two weeks preparing and serving meals for average-income families. They would have to follow the families' budgets, and cook in their kitchens. If politicians don't understand how average people live, how can they address things like war and peace?
Q: How has this experience, these years in Iraq and Lebanon, changed you and influenced the way you approach food and cooking now?
I used to feel like I wasn't really cooking unless I added a dozen rare ingredients and made them all change color, shape, and size at least once. I learned two lessons in Beirut and Baghdad: first, I found out what it was like to live without constant access to things we take for granted, like fresh vegetables or milk. I met people who didn't have reliable running water, or electricity, or real stoves. And I saw them make astounding meals from a handful of ingredients—sometimes literally making a feast out of weeds. These things taught me to bring some intellectual humility into the kitchen. They taught me to appreciate fresh fruit and vegetables when I have them, and good meat, and clean water. Nowadays I try not to gild the lily by overcooking and overspicing. I try to step back and ask myself: what is the simplest thing I can make with this lettuce, these fresh eggs, that bunch of green garlic?

(Ed. Note: Our series "5 Reasons I Love Hockey" features puckheads from all walks of life revealing five things that either made them a fan or that keep them watching hockey. It will run every weekend. Have a suggestion for a "5 Reasons" guest blogger? Hit us on email. Enjoy!)
Puck Daddy readers no doubt remember Alyonka Larionov from her instant-classic PensTV cooking segment with Pittsburgh Penguins star Evgeni Malkin(notes), which we called "the first, and unforgettable, marriage between hockey celebrity and food porn."
Larionov is a wonderful subject for our "5 Reasons" as a hockey fan, as someone working with an NHL team, but also because she's hockey royalty -- thanks to her Hall of Fame father, Igor Larionov.
With that, we turn it over to Alyonka Larionov (and a big thanks to Dmitry Chesnokov for making this happen). It's one of the most interesting lists we've run in the series.
• • •
Growing up a kid of a hockey player is a little different than being a fan of the game.
OK, it's a lot different. But one of the main differences is that it wasn't all about the love. A constant travelling dad with a grueling schedule (somehow there was always an away game on April 4th), the paranoia of never knowing my true friends ("Hey, aren't you Larionov's daughter) and the fear of falling short to such a lustrous and amazing career (three Stanley Cups, Olympic Gold medals, HHOF ... Dad, did you really have to set the bar so high?) created a kind of love/hate relationship for me.
But since this is the 5 Reasons Why I Love Hockey, I'll spare you the hate and will give you the love.
1. The Wives Room ... or What We as Kids Called "The Playroom."
Until we were much older, we never really paid much attention to the game itself. No, it was more about the games we played with all the other hockey kids.
We had a group and we all 'got' each other. We played hide-and-seek or tag, although in the depths of the arena -- rolled-up carpets were our pretend mountains and leftover merchandise were used as costumes. Playoffs were always fun because we could use our pom-poms as fighting props (if you were a boy) or tuck them into your pig-tails as a decorative piece (if you were a girl). It made us feel like regular kids, just with a larger and weirder playground.
I think we can all agree that the best part of the night was waiting by the Wives Room Door to see whose Dad would walk in next. Win or lose, dads were always happy and smiling when we'd run up to them and give them a hug.
2. Extended Family.
My family are the only Larionovs that live in North America. The rest live in Russia, so it gets hard over the year, especially holidays, when most extended families come together. Hockey allowed me to have all the cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents that weren't around come together when I needed them most. We celebrated the holidays and special events together and it made me feel like I was apart of a loving community. A large group of good people that became my extended family and continue to love and support me to this day.
3. Our Favorite Things.
(For this one I sat down with my brother and sister, Igor and Diana, so we could brainstorm our favorite things.)
- Long summers ... that is if the playoffs ended all too quickly.
- Practice: a bunch of us would come out to the practices, sit and watch patiently until it was time for us to go and skate with our dads.
- Eating Frosted Flakes out of the Stanley Cup for breakfast.
- Igor: "Having my name on the Cup three times."
- Celebrating the Stanley Cup win on the ice. It's always fascinating to see grown men crying.
- Riding down Woodward Avenue during the Stanley Cup Parade only to later realize that our Dad was holding his "#1 Hockeytown" sign, upside down.
- Igor: "Being in the Stanley Cup On-Ice Team Photo" (This statement was followed by a fist pump.)
- Second Intermission Pizza. All the kids couldn't wait for the Second Period to be over. Pepperoni or Cheese?
- Here's to endless bumps and bruises. The competition never ends ... even during friendly Tag games at home.
- Diana: "All you can eat buffet at the Olympic Village in Salt Lake City."
- Diana: "Remember when we'd race to Dad's room ... whoever got there first would wake him up from his Pre-Game Nap."
- Diana: "Writing Dad's HHOF Speech."
- Picking up a love for literature in fear of Scotty Bowman's disapproval ... we never wanted to disappoint Scotty.
- Walking through the secret HHOF storage room. (Thanks Steve!)
- Attending a total of 24 different schools, living in a total of 20 different houses in 4 different countries ... all add up to personality building experiences. We are all a bit strange!
4. Dad.
You were and are the greatest player in my mind; playing the greatest sport with the purest passion and unfaltering commitment, achieving dreams without a single doubt or fear and continuing to support the game that allowed you to love your job each and every day.
But most importantly, through hockey, you showed me that all my dreams can come true. You are my shining example of who I want to be when I grow up.
5. As Much As I Tried, I Can't Get Away From It.
Hockey flows through my veins and is the beat of my heart. It is my one true home.
A blank sheet of ice, an empty arena, the cold air and turning over a bucket of pucks before a single skate touches the ice ... there is nothing else that soothes the soul or feels more like home. It's like taking a breath of fresh air in the coldest of winter days, working up a sweat, rosy cheeks puffing out clouds of air, and being with the people that love, care and understand me.
Hockey is the comfort food on the saddest or loneliest day. It is a good friend that will never turn its back on me. It is a place where I can be myself and where I feel at my best. A peaceful calm.
Hockey is my family. So thank you Hockey for being the one consistent place in a never ending journey ... you are my home.

HopeFriday, April 19, 2013
Isn't this mini quilt stitched by Jeni Baker gorgeous? It's made from a free quilt pattern on the Denyse Schmidt site – get the free pattern.
On days like these, I think of hope. Hope is similar to crafting – it's something you create out of a patchwork of things. You can take what is cast off and make it useful again – you can take what is negative and give it a new form – you can take something lifeless and breathe life into it.
When we create something with our hands, we're saying that the world is valuable – that life is worth sticking around for the next day, and the next day, and the day after that.
We make meaning and transcend time and space in everything we create. I'd like to think that we, as crafters use every thread we're given to create. And in every new creation, whatever it's made out of, there is hope.
This free cross-stitch pattern is designed by Comastitch, and is available on Craftsy – it reminds me of needlepoint, with its bold, blocky letters and coloring.
And lastly, this free Primitive blessing pattern on Twigs n Sprigs looks simple and sweet, and echoes so many of the words being circulated around the internet right now.
Wherever you find yourself this day, I hope this post, our threads, and the crafts we make together bring you life, light, and above all, hope.

WATCH: 'Alien mothership' stalking Yorkshire skies spotted by retired cop
AN EAGLE-EYED retired cop has claimed he spotted a spacecraft soaring over his home and a UFO hunter filmed it.
The former police officer – who wants to remain anonymous – said he saw a glowing triangular-shaped UFO near Holmfirth, West Yorks, at 8.50pm on Thursday.
He reported the "three-sided alien mothership" with "rows of red lights on the side" roaming the skies to renowned investigator Gary Heseltine.
Gary, 56, raced to the scene and filmed what he believes to be the same so-called UFO.
But he was forced to return home when his laptop battery died after two minutes of filming on the night vision camera linked to the device.
The leading ufologist, who worked with the British Transport Police for 20 years, described the retired cop as a "credible witness" whose first sighting was 25 years ago when he was a serving officer, the Huddersfield Examiner reports.
Gary said: "I went to see for myself, though I was looking at it from a different direction from him in Penistone.
"In my experience of looking at hundreds of sightings this was very unusual"Gary
"What I saw was a very bright light, which was not a star.
"The object was not moving and was dim at first but then flared up.
"In my experience of looking at hundreds of sightings this was very unusual."
The 56-year-old saw the "large bright object" over Holmfirth at 9.37pm from the A616 Sheffield Road.
But Gary said he did not see the triangular-shaped ship.
He added: "I did not see a triangular craft but I noted that the object was stationary, extremely bright and kept flaring up.
"It wasn't a star or any astronomical object.
"At one point an aircraft can be clearly seen on the video, moving to the right of the object at what appears to be the same altitude."
Gary has urged other witnesses to come forward.
This comes as a "alien spaceship" was spotted emerging from an "secret underground base".
And explosive claims that shadowy agents covered up the most famous UFO incident in Britain.
