Sarah Addison Allen is the author of some of the most readable, magical, sweet, heartfelt books I've ever read. Except, there is nothing twee or mushy about her books; each one has an element of magic, but the most basic elements that make a good book are there too – three dimensional characters, a damn good story line and excellent writing.
Sarah is a cancer survivor and a lover of cats who can't drive. But man, can she write! She's also wonderfully active and interactive on Social Media sites – she shares lots with her readers and gives plenty back. Not surprising that she has a wide readership and lots of fans, really. Her new book, Lost Lake is due out January 21st 2014 and this will be her 5th novel. Her previous novels are:
Garden Spells
The Sugar Queen
The Girl who chased the Moon
The Peach Keeper
I remember spotting this book on a shelf in my local Supermarket (in the UK), and thinking I would get it and give it a go. So far, I have read Garden Spells about 5 times.
I have all her other books and I'll be pre-ordering Lost Lake as soon as I get around to it. That will help cheer me up about going back to work after the holidays!
Anyway, I can truly recommend Sarah Addison Allen. Her website is better than the average author site, packed full of information, links, pretty visuals and facts. It's kept up to date with events and news and is well worth a visit. In the meantime, sink your teeth into one of her books. You'll be glad you did!
What do I love most about her website? The gorgeous visuals that have been created for each of her books! Just beautiful.

1-model US drive by BMC
By GEOFFREY CHARLES, Motoring Correspondent
A concerted, one-model assault is to be launched on the United States car market today by the British Motor Corporation, with what they hope will prove an effective reply to the successful penetration achieved by Volkswagen and the Japanese manufacturers.
B.M.C. has produced a special two-door automatic saloon-basically its front-wheel-drive 1300-designed specifically for the United States market.
Labelled the Austin America, it complies with all the existing Federal and state regulations on safety and exhaust emission controls, and has been developed as a result of extensive market research to meet American buyers' demands for a medium-priced two-door saloon as a second or third family car.
At $1,825 it is competitively priced (the secret of any success in a market where the big three American companies produce 9m.-I0m. cars a year) and compares with $1,699 for the Volkswagen, of which 400,000 units were sold in America last year.

Product Description
Before water and gas pipes are commissioned, they should be checked for tightness. You have to carry out a load test in addition to a tightness test on gas pipes. In both cases, pressure is built up in the pipe using air or inert gas and measured over a defined period of time. You can use the testo 312-3 pressure measuring instrument for this measurement.
It can also be used for tightness and load tests on water pipes, provided that the pressure test is carried out using air. The testo 312-3 DVGW-tested pressure measuring instrument is also useful for other individual pressure measurements.
Testo's reliable testo 312-3 pressure measuring instrument measures up to 6,000 hPa. You have the possibility of setting freely adjustable limit values, so that the pressure measuring instrument warns you immediately if these limit values are breached by displaying an alarm.

This tasty tomato and eggplant polenta recipe will rock your world. It is creamy, beautiful and fun to eat!
I love polenta, but apparently not as much as Christopher does because his family used to have it every Christmas Eve. They had a wooden board his grandfather made that was the size of a small table. When a humongous batch of polenta was cooked, his mom and grandmother poured it onto the board, spreading it with a three-foot rolling pin to the edges. Then they'd cover that creamy polenta with tomato sauce and put a big pile of meatballs and sausages in the middle.
Then everyone gathered around the dining room table, the polenta board in the center, with forks in hand. The kids weren't allowed to take a piece of meat until they'd cleared a path through the polenta that started at the edge of the board in front of them and went to the pile in the middle.
Now, that's a party! In fact, just recently, I saw a photo of the huge board. Holy moly! How the heck did they pick it up to plop it on the table?
As far as I can remember, we never ate polenta like that.
When Christopher hears that I'm going to make polenta, his eyes light up and he says, "I love polenta!"
I know, I think. You've told me. A million times.
I don't say that out loud because he has to hear me say repetitive things all the time about food and drink items. So, I figure it is only fair, right?
Also, I love to eat polenta with veggies plopped on it. I like it with gravy too, but I love the cleanness of the veggies in this recipe.
How to make tomato and eggplant polenta
So, I start cooking the polenta first because it takes around 25 minutes. At first, I measure out some beef broth and water, pour them into a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Then I pour in some polenta and keep stirring the mixture every few minutes so it doesn't stick. In any case, I cook the polenta for 25 minutes.
While the polenta is cooking, I gather the eggplant and tomatoes.
I wash and cut up the eggplant and heat up my wok. Then I add a few tablespoons of olive oil and once that heats up, I add the eggplant and cute heirloom tomatoes. I also salt the veggies, add some garlic paste and stand there as it cooks, alternatively stirring the polenta and eggplant.
Finally, after 25 minutes, I add 2 ounces of goat cheese and stir it in the polenta until it melts.
Eggplant is done
Time to pour the creamy polenta in a shallow bowl.
I also dollop some tomato and eggplant on the polenta.
This tomato and eggplant polenta looks delicious! But before we dive in, let's look at an overhead shot.
So I hope you enjoyed this tomato and eggplant polenta recipe! It is super delicious!
Please feel free to leave me a comment. In fact, did you ever eat polenta the way Christopher's family did? I'd love to know your polenta memories! I read every single comment.
If you love polenta, you'll love this mussel polenta recipe. You'll love it even more when you see it has wine in it.
And as always, may all your dishes be delish!

A woman who caught fire while trying to remove faulty heaters that had started a fire in their flat was saved on Sunday afternoon by her children.
According to the fire service at 4.33 on Sunday afternoon they received a call about a fire on the second floor of a three story building in a refugee housing estate in Strovolos.
Two fire engines were dispatched to the scene and the fire was brought under control by 4.54pm. The fire had been caused by faulty oil heaters.
According to the fire service in her efforts to remove the heaters from the room to the balcony, the owner of the flat's clothes caught fire.
When the firemen arrived at the flat, the woman's four children were there who helped put out the fire that was burning her clothes.
The woman was then taken to Nicosia general hospital by ambulance.
The fire damaged the balcony and the living room where the heaters had been.

Mundane Science Fiction
Just heard the editor of this book on radio 4 talking about 'mundane science fiction', a term I hadn't heard before. Meaning fiction derived from existing or imminent scientific research, rather than the far-fetched stuff of the movies, with teleportation, light-speed travel etc. (essentially fantasy magic). The anthology paired research scientists with writers to inspire the short stories. (Indirectly, also reminded me of the excellent insultingly stupid movie physics site.)

Four Democrats boycott hearing, delay Texas anti-abortion bill
AUSTIN — A team of Democrats stymied an anti-abortion measure in the Texas House by not appearing at a Monday morning committee meeting to hear the bill.
The four Democrats on the Judiciary & Civil Jurisprudence Committee boycotted the early morning hearing, calling the bill a "charade" to "offend our fellow Texas women, their families and licensed physicians" on measures that are already addressed in state and federal law. Rep. Morgan Meyer, R-Dallas, was also also absent.
With five of nine members absent, the committee was unable to meet or hear House Bill 16, which would open doctors to civil penalties if they fail to try to save the life of a baby that survived an abortion. Such scenarios are rare, according to FactCheck.org, a project out of Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania. The committee later met in the afternoon and heard nearly two hours of testimony. The sponsor, Rep. Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, left the bill pending in committee.
Leach, who chairs the committee, said he was "extremely disappointed and disheartened in the decision by my friends and fellow committee members to skip this morning's hearing simply because they don't agree on the issue at hand."
If it is to reach the full House for a vote, the bill will need all five Republicans on the committee to vote for it, including Meyer. Although he has a 100-percent voting record with the anti-abortion group Texas Right To Life, the Republican is considered politically vulnerable in his district. Meyer won his last election by 220 votes, or less than one percent. In 2016, he won that district handily, with more than 70 percent of the vote.

There is some mention of it in this study, however, Dr. Gardner could probably clarify that, and I believe he did in a thread on here some time ago. I don't recall what the name of the thread was though.
Swooping, I think we have it right that the first "cure" will come in this form. Or at least the biggest advancement in the industry for some time to come. If this study is in fact accurate, Dr. Wesley's method can only improve upon their results. I'm excited for what's to come, and I'm grateful we have a doctor like Dr. Wesley working on this exact topic.
Dr. Cole claims to get regeneration from 20-70% when taking the follicle out in it's entirety, because of the stem cells that are left there. His hypothesis is that the reason there is such a difference in success rate is because of ACell leaking as the extraction sites ooze differently in individual patients. If ACell was placed below the skin with nowhere to ooze, this would fix that problem. Furthermore, if we aren't extracting the entire follicle, I think we could expect much greater results, as I have stated already.
I'm trying to remain cautiously optimistic, however, all this factual evidence supports Pilofocus potential to be HUGE in the regeneration game. It's hard to contain such excitement after digging into all the evidence and research done thus far.

This boy, just shy of eight months. So blessed to be his mommy.
Monthly Archives: August 2015
we have a tooth!
so Calvin slept terribly Wednesday and Thursday night. I had notice his gums had little white hints of teeth, then today his first one broke through. Bottom left. Still can't see it, but you can see it.
Trying for number 2
I am 7 months pp, and no cycle. I am PRAYING I get my cycle in the next couple of months. I guess if my September I don't have my cycle, I'll wean, but that makes me sad to think about. but…we want another baby. So… Hopefully I get my cycle by September. I think I'm willing to try naturally for three months, then go see my RE and dive right back into it. We'll start with an IUI this time. I'm just questioning if perhaps my cervix is bad. I mean, the first IUI(by-passing the cervix) we got knocked up, then I had all sorts of cervical issues during pregnancy, and I'm wondering if somehow my cervix is just sucky. Is it reasonable to TTC for 3 months before going back to an RE? I just don't want to waste time.
Also, what if I wean and no period? Do I go then? I know some of you have been in the position(or will be soon) and want opinions. I joke with Joe that I want a baby October/November which he replies "because we're really good at planning these things." We haven't been preventing at all thee past seven months, and I know you can get pregnant without having a period. But I'm just ready for my cycle to be back.
Calvin has been sleeping through the night and going 10 hours without nursing for 4 months now. We're down to five nursings a day. He isn't sleeping in bed with me. So if I completely stop nursing, how long do I give it before I have a period?
allergy testing
Calvin did allergy testing today. It sucked. It was sad a bit yes, but what really sucked was having to hold him when he was upset from the testing for fifteen minutes without touching his back. That was hard. Anyways, he is NOT allergic to milk! Praise the lord. He did mildly react to eggs, both yolk and white. The allergist said we can continue to give him and introduce him to foods with eggs baked in, but hold off of eggs and French toast until hes 1.5-2 years old. He also said given that the hives lasted almost two weeks, it sounds more like a virus or a delayed reaction to his 6th month immunizations. The allergist said we can use formula again, regular formula, but ease into it. Like an ounce of formula the rest expressed breast milk for a few days, then up it to a couple ounces, etc. Whew. So that's that.
here's a shot of our dinners. We're doiing baby lead weaning. So Calvin gad avocado, carrot, banana, and blueberry puffs. Joe and I had asparagus, brussell sprouts, zuchini, and squash with chicken-spinach-gets sausage.
my insurance provided me with a pump in style advance for free. But by June, it was taking me significantly longer to pump, I was getting significantly less out, and it was hurting. I think BC I was having to pump 45-60 minutes to get out what I use to be able to pump out on 25-30. So I really quit pumping. I'm staying at home now, so I didn't think it wad that big of a deal. Then enter in losing my brother, sister in law, and niece, and all the supply issues I'm having. Then the fact that Calvin may be allergic to formula, I've got to pump. To get my supply up, but also to rebuild my freezer stash. (I've got a weekend away coming up at the end of August.) so I bought the spectra s2. Its hospital grade and a closed system. But what I like most is that it doesn't hurt.
the suction and speed are independently controlled so I can increase the suction, but leave the speed at the speed of my milk flow. The flanges seem to fit me better as well. I also like that it has a timer and light. And it is considerably quieter. I'm having to wake up in the morning around four to pump, and with the night light and how quiet it is, I can just pump in bed, instead of having to go out to the living room.
I would like an extra couple sets of bottles, but I haven't figured out where to get them, or if there is a brand of bottles locally that will fit. Currently I'm pumping out 10-15 ounces in the morning. I freeze in increments of 7. So ill freeze however many "bottles" I have, then transfer the remaining milk into the medela storage bottles until next time.
I do really like the spectra, it is significantly cheaper than the medela if you have to buy outright. My medela still work, and I'm planning on keeping it, and maybe will try it again when I get my supply back up.
can you build up a resistance to pumping?
in other news, I felt really crampy and nauseous the last couple of days. Last night I woke up soaked in sweat. I just had my annual this past Tuesday, and they dip a stick in your urine sample, so I'm not pregnant. Truthfully, it feels like my body is trying to start my period, but it can't. My last menstrual period was march 29 2014. But if you recall, I bled until September of my pregnancy, so besides pp bleeding, I've almost been bleed free for a year. I asked my ob, and she said my cervix looks perfectly normal, so that's good.
the initial plan was to wean at the end of September if I didn't have my cycle. But if I can't wean yo formula, that may not be possible. Who knows. We are going to go see our RE in January and try to get knocked up asap. January would give us a sept baby, Feb Oct, march November. If we aren't pregnant by then, we'd probably skip ttc in April. But that's a good while away.
losing my brother, sister in law, and niece, and then we just got news my grandfather has two months(estimating) has given me a new urge to procreate. At family dinners, there used to be 12. We had to add a card table to the end to have enough seats, but even that wouldn't be enough with Calvin starting to sit in a high chair. Now all the sudden we're back down to nine. Which is alot still, but significantly less. So I want to get our numbers headed the right direction again.

In a world where we're talking about everything apart from the things we should be talking about, Channel 4's new documentary, The Sex Robots are Coming, is a breath of fresh air. I'd say it was relieving someone's talking about it, but, actually, the documentary is quite scary.
The prospect of artificial intelligence is frightening – especially when you realise it already plays a part in your everyday life. If you have an iPhone, Siri is your bit of AI. If you use Google, the whole bloody thing is AI. However, the prospect of AI having sex with your husband is a little bit scarier than Siri typing a text message for you.
And here we have the focus of The Sex Robots are Coming. There is a widening market for men who want to have sex with what they call the "ideal" woman. Some of these men are single and alone, as one would imagine. However, most in Channel 4's new documentary are actually married and, in the case of James. He has three sex dolls, his favourite looks shockingly like a minor and his wife, who, despite what she says, looks incredibly disappointed in him.
People like James – married with a home – are not who you'd expect in terms of a sex robot market. And it's sad that they are part of it, ditching their wives for AI and sometimes, as James does, struggles to choose between which he loves more.
The Sex Robots are Coming explores a brand new era of humanity's relationship with technology – and one that is becoming increasingly realistic. Harmony, the robot currently being developed during filming, will seduce a man if he so desires and will, obviously, do exactly as he says. She is designed to respond to men positively and to have sex with them too. She can talk, laugh and pretend to like you. She's just paralysed and can't walk. While the man can choose a 'personality' for his bit of plastic, the robot is ultimately something he will carry out his sexual desires with. Hence the problem many people have with robot sex dolls. Thankfully, C4 explores that too.

While it certainly had its ups and downs, 2018 will be a year to remember for everyone involved at ACS.
We started the year off in one of the worst ways possible – with a vehicle shortage and a massive $75,000 needed to fix that – but that need turned out to be an incredible journey. With the help of many in our community, we raised approx. $18,000 in just a few months. From there, the Goggin family generously donated $32,000, while Concours Mold Inc. contributed the final $25,000 we needed. Since then, we've unveiled our new accessible vehicle and have been using it to get people to where they need to go.
Beyond this incredible achievement, we had some amazing firsts this year. In June, we partnered with the Town of Amherstburg to host the first ever Amherstburg Active & Aging Well Expo. Nearly 200 people attended the inaugural event and saw first hand just how many services, businesses and organizations are here to help us as we age. We hosted town hall meetings alongside the Town of Amherstburg to better understand the needs of our aging population. Finally, after a one-year hiatus, we brought back the Fill-a-Backpack program and changed the format to make it more accessible to the people who rely on it.
There's just so much to be proud of from this past year. Whether it's delivering over 220 stockings to local seniors, getting holiday gifts to over 80 low-income children, purchasing a new accessible vehicle, or delivering tens of thousands of meals, everyone who contributes to ACS can be proud of the successes of 2018. Whether you donated to us, volunteered, shared information about us with friends and family, or even sent good wishes over social media, we cannot thank you enough!
Thank you for being involved in this incredible year, and we hope you stay involved in 2019. If your circumstances allow it, please consider making a donation before the year comes to a close and help us kick 2019 off to a great start! We cannot wait for what the next year brings.

Jan 18, 2017
The winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service in 2003, and research journalist for the "Boston Globe", Michael Rezendes, was in Portugal at the 4th Congress of Portuguese Journalists
The future of the sector was discussed, namely the role of journalists, the competition and the media funding. According with the north-american journalist, «the difficulties currently experienced in the industry are similar at a global level, they are not exclusively Portuguese. It is still fundamental to have journalists on the street rather than sitting in newsrooms, and contrary to what is claimed, making investigative journalism is economically viable and makes sense, because investigative articles increase the number of subscribers in the newspaper», he explained, alluding to his personal experience.
According with the Organizing Committee, from the various discussions carried out, it was concluded that, «the small size of newsrooms, the time for performing the work and the low salaries are some of the aspects that compromise the quality of the information provided to readers, and consequently the profession». In this regard, the Government has undertaken to carry out a close inspection to safeguard working conditions.
The competition of the Google and social networks, as well as the poor regulation of the foreign television channels available were also mentioned as compromising the journalistic work, being necessary to change the legislation that regulates these matters.
The status of information source, the definition and role of the journalist are aspects that will have more attention and vigilance by the competent entities. The Congress approved a final resolution with 12 points, without votes against and without abstention. The professionals now expect the measures to be implemented and the class to meet more frequently. Remember that 18 years have passed since the last Congress held in Portugal. If compared to other realities, for example, the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) is already attending the 29th Congress and meets every three years to reflect on the profession.

Goals for 2017
It's a well accepted tenant of social psychology that an individual is more likely to complete publicly stated goals, so here are mine for 2017.
- Be more creative
- Strengthen my mind and body
Two simple goals to focus on throughout the year. When I'm up early on a weekend and not sure what to do, I'll have two options. Also, putting this in writing and tracking some metrics will give me a good sense of progress and allow me to reflect back a year from now.
How I'll be more creative:
- Do more side projects and make them public to the internet. One of the more satisfying things I did in 2016 was write a really basic Ruby app at my company's hackathon. It wasn't anything special, but it was fun to make something silly that had no business value and then see how the users enjoyed playing with it.
- Take more photos and post on Instagram way more frequently. Photography is a creative skill I'd like to develop. I always buy the latest iPhone, so I always have a good camera in my pocket. Practice makes perfect and the first step to taking good photos it to take a ton of them.
- Blog more — Get to an average of 5,000 monthly views and write a minimum of 50 posts on Medium. It has been years since I maintained a blog and a decade since I maintained an entire network of blogs. Writing is a good skill to continually hone and I'm eager to learn more about Medium as a product.
How I'll strengthen my mind and body:
- Read more fiction. I easily spend an hour a day reading, but that time is 99% non-fiction. I bought a stack of discounted sci-fi classics on Amazon a few weeks ago. I'm not going to set a solid number, we'll just have to see how many of them I can manage to get through this year.
- Meditation and mindfulness. I've mentioned before I'm a big fan of Headspace. This year I'll try to meditate once a week, either using that app or going to the weekly meditation group at work.
- Ski a few times. It's a sad day when you realize you own a bunch of ski equipment you haven't used for a few years. I've already got one ski trip booked and I can probably find time to squeeze in a second one.
- Play more tennis. We live three blocks from brand new tennis courts. Both my fiancee and own racquets and played competitively growing up and yet we only played once on our neighborhood courts last year. Tennis shouldn't be limited to vacations, even if it means waking up really early before work to play.
- Run twice a week. Pretty straightforward goal. I've somehow gone from doing a triathlon to not being able to remember the last time I've exercised. I'll just have to find the latest Apple watch app to track my progress.
So that's it, those are my goals. Is this too much to take on? Any thoughts?

According to Statistics Estonia, in 2016, the number of international traffic passengers served by Estonian ports increased by 4%, but the freight volume of ports in tonnes decreased by 4% compared to the previous year.
Last year, the year of marine culture, a record number of passengers used Estonian ports. In 2016, 10.5 million passengers visited Estonian ports by international transport, which is 4% more than in 2015. The growth was mainly due to the increase in the number of passengers travelling between Estonia and Finland, where 8.8 million passengers were served. 164,000 more passengers arrived from Finland and 160,000 more passengers departed to Finland compared to 2015. Between Estonia and Sweden 1.2 million sea passengers were transported, i.e. 3% more passengers compared to the previous year. 498,200 cruise passengers arrived by sea, i.e. 1% more than the year before. 7.7 million passengers used Estonian ships in international sea traffic.
The number of passenger ship calls at Estonian ports in international sea traffic was around 6,250, i.e. 4% more passenger ships (incl. ro-ro passenger ships) than in 2015, and around the same number of cruise ships (285) called at Estonian ports as in 2015. On international routes around 1.9 million vehicles (excl. transit vehicles) were served by ports; 71% were passenger cars and 25% were trucks and trailers.
On main national ship lines around 2.3 million passengers were transported, which is about as much as in 2015. On those lines over 400 ship trips more were made than in 2015. In 2015, there were over 14,800 trips and, in 2016, over 15,200 trips. On Estonian national lines approximately 933,700 vehicles were served by ports.
In 2016, Estonian ports handled 33.6 million tonnes of cargo, which is 4% less, i.e. 1.3 million tonnes less, than a year earlier. 8% less goods were loaded and 7% more goods were unloaded than in 2015. In 2016, around the same number of cargo ships called at Estonian ports as in 2015. The average gross tonnage of cargo vessels totalled about 11,000.
Transportation of goods through the ports declined last year due to a decrease in transit cargo. Transit goods were loaded and unloaded in ports in the amount of 18.1 million tonnes, which is 11% less than in 2015. 12.7 million tonnes of transit cargo were loaded and 5.4 million tonnes unloaded at Estonian ports. Transit cargo loading fell by 18%, but transit cargo unloading increased by 14%. The most frequently handled group of transit goods loaded at Estonian ports was refined petroleum products (7.5 million tonnes), although the transport of these products decreased by a third in a year. The loading of chemicals and chemical products as transit goods amounted to 4.9 million tonnes, which is 17% more than the year before. The most frequently handled group of transit goods unloaded at Estonian ports was also refined petroleum products (4.5 million tonnes), which is 14% more than in 2015.
9.9 million tonnes of goods were transported abroad through ports and 5.6 million tonnes of goods arrived at Estonian ports – 9% and 2% more than in 2015, respectively. Goods transported abroad were mainly products of agriculture and forestry (3.2 million tonnes), a mixture of types of goods transported together (2.9 million tonnes) and products of mining and quarrying (1 million tonnes). Goods that arrived at Estonian ports included primarily a mixture of types of goods transported together (2.8 million tonnes) and products of mining and quarrying (1.4 million tonnes).
Sea container transportation through ports (expressed in TEUs) decreased by 2% compared to the previous year amounting to about 204,400 TEUs in 2016. The number of containers shipped out of Estonian ports on vessels was about 100,300 TEUs and the number received at Estonian ports was 104,100 TEUs.

I know I have to say 'No' to my child when he misbehaves, but how can I make sure I'm getting in enough positive reinforcement?
Do the math: The goal is always to praise a child more than you discipline them--but how much more? Three? Four times as much? That means for every 10 corrections ("Don't hit your brother!" "Chew with your mouth closed!") You're trying to find 30-40 positive things to say! It can be a pretty big goal to work towards, so look for all the little opportunities ("Thank you for putting your shoes away." "I like the way you're speaking to your sister.")
See positive reinforcement in action: As a rule, I know if I've had to say "No" more than 3 times in 5 minutes then it is time to change my game. When my kids are acting up the most, that's when they need to hear the most praise from me. But boy, can it be hard to find something positive to say in the middle of a temper tantrum! Try digging up some old examples: "Remember yesterday when you did all your chores without being asked and then you got a sticker? That was awesome, wasn't it? I was so proud of you!"
Nanny Carrie's Tip: Do away with apologies. Instead of asking your child to say "I'm sorry for hitting," or "I won't use bad words anymore," get them to focus on the positive. "Next time I'll be more gentle," or "I'm going to use my best manners." It gives them something constructive to work towards instead of focusing on what they did wrong.

text: johnmaloney Report post Posted November 20, 2011 Break out the hose, it is time to top off that tank that has been sitting in the corner - Ugly Tank Contest 4 is now accepting submissions! Our annual contest highlights the horrible outcomes that happen when you leave your tank with a sitter, let a child under 12 feed the tank, or let the laziness sets in. You make up the excuse, we just want your pictures! The Rules: Submissions must have a full tank shot (FTS). Only that picture will count towards the contest, but other supporting close up photos are appreciated. By submitting a photo you agree that we have the right to use that photo in the contest and its promotion, on this and other websites. You also agree that we can edit your image, sizing it for example to fit the thread we will use for voting purposes. All changes will be technical though, we have no interest or plans to touch up your photo etc... Pictures must be submitted by November 26th. We will be selecting the worst 9 tanks from those submitted. Each of these tanks will receive a $10 gift certificate. I personally will be choosing the finalists to narrow down the chance of popularity becoming an issue. It may seem like an unfair rule, but this process has yielded much better finalists than other methods we have employed. Each of the finalists will then vote for the tank they think is the worst, but are not allowed to vote for their own tank. In the event of a tie, the finalists will choose in a runoff race. Votes not cast by the end of the week will be forfeit, and may apply against the tank of that contestant so as not to make voting abstention an advantageous strategy. The finalists and notable submissions will be posted here, at the contest official thread beginning November 22nd. Winner gets a free custom clean up crew shipped to clean the tank! Each entrant gets a $5 gift certificate. You will have to send me an email or pm with the code you want to use. Just something simple will work, like "Hey John, I posted a photo in the ugly tank contest, I want my code to be "jmaloney" " Just make sure to put the code in quotes or on a separate line. Show us how bad it can get! Be prepared for some good humored kidding, but please don't be embarrassed. If algae didn't happen I would be out of a job. To Enter: Simply post a picture here. We will combine with other pictures from around the net. Check back on November 27th for a list of finalists, winners to be picked that week as we receive the votes in from the finalists. Don't be shy! I am sure we have seen worse. Here is an example of some of the submissions we have seen over the years: and: and don't forget: feel better?

If you're familiar with Indian cuisine, you may have heard of or possibly tasted ghee. Ghee has been used in traditional Indian cooking and Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. In fact, the word "ghee" is the Indian term for clarified butter.1
Often derived from cow's milk, ghee may also be made from buffalo, sheep or goat milk.3 It's made by heating regular butter until the milk solids caramelize and separate from the butterfat and the water in it completely evaporates.
The milk solids are then strained, so you're left with a pure golden butterfat that has a distinct warm and nutty flavor — this clear liquid is also called clarified butter.4
The terms ghee and clarified butter are often used interchangeably, but they're technically not the same. Ghee is simmered a little longer than regular clarified butter, so it has a deeper taste and a darker color. While ghee is a type of clarified butter, not all clarified butter is ghee.5
The process of removing milk solids renders ghee lactose-free. It also has a higher smoke point, making it more ideal for high-heat cooking than regular butter. Additionally, ghee has a longer shelf life, as it can be stored at room temperature for three months or in the refrigerator for up to six months. Ghee will harden when refrigerated and soften when stored at room temperature.6
Ghee can be used like butter — you can fry with it, use it for baking or spread it on your toast. If your recipe calls for ghee and you do not have this ingredient on hand, you can use regular butter, clarified butter or coconut oil as a substitute.7
Compared to butter, ghee has a higher smoke point, longer shelf life, darker color and nuttier flavor. In terms of nutritional content, ghee and butter are the most similar among all edible fats, according to a study published in the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research.8
Since their fat content is almost the same, they're both beneficial if you're on a high-fat, low-carb diet. However, ghee is preferable if you have lactose intolerance, as it does not contain casein (milk protein) and lactose, which can be hard to digest if you're sensitive to dairy.9
Choosing between regular butter and ghee for your cooking depends on your flavor preferences, your dietary needs and the type of dish that you're going to make. For foods like meat that require high-heat cooking, ghee is usually a better choice, as it imparts a rich flavor rather than a burned one. For more information about the difference between ghee and butter, check out my article, "What's so Great About Ghee?"
Ghee is primarily composed of healthy fats. According to the journal ARYA Atherosclerosis, it consists of 65 percent saturated fatty acids (SFAs) and 33 percent monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs).10 It also contains amino acids and fat-soluble vitamins A and K.11 These nutrients contribute to the following health benefits of ghee:
Meanwhile, a different study published in the journal ARYA Atherosclerosis shows that the addition of ghee to your diet may help significantly reduce the fatty streak formation in your left and right coronary arteries while increasing beneficial HDL cholesterol levels.16
Aside from adding ghee to your meals, you can also use it topically for:
From soups and main dishes to desserts and beverages, there are many dishes that you can make with ghee. Here are some recipes you can cook at home, so you and your loved ones can reap the benefits of this healthy ingredient:
Serves: 4 | Prep time: 5 minutes | Cook time: 40 minutes | Total time: 45 minutes
(Recipe from Jennafer Ashley of Paleohacks)
Serves: 6 | Prep time: 15 minutes | Cook time: 20 minutes | Total time: 35 minutes
Serves: 5 | Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 1 hour and 15 minutes | Total time: 1 hour and 25 minutes
If you want to know the amount of calories, fats and other nutrients ghee has for every serving of 100 grams, check out the nutrition facts table below:27
Whether you bought ghee from the supermarket or you just made it yourself, one of the most important things you need to consider is the source of the butter used to make it. Remember, the ghee you eat is only as good as the milk used to make the original butter.
Q: Where can you buy ghee?
A: Ghee is widely available at groceries and online organic stores.
Q: Is ghee vegan?
A: No. Even though its milk content is mostly removed, ghee is still derived from an animal product, so it is not suitable for vegans.28
Q: Is ghee dairy-free?
A: Yes. The process of removing milk solids when producing ghee makes it dairy-free.29
Q: Why is ghee good for you?
A: Ghee is a healthy addition to your diet, as it provides a variety of health-promoting compounds, including healthy fatty acids, amino acids, vitamin A and vitamin K.30 It's been found to help improve mitochondrial function, 31 aid in weight loss32 and reduce the risk for a variety of diseases, including cancer, 33 heart disease34 and diabetes.35
Q: Does ghee need to be refrigerated?
A. No. Ghee can be stored at room temperature for up to three months. However, refrigerating it can extend its shelf life for up to six months.36
Q: Is ghee Paleo-friendly?
A: Yes. Ghee is a popular food among people who follow a Paleo diet, as it's a dairy-free alternative to butter.37
Q: What does ghee taste like?
A: Ghee has a warm and nutty taste. Its flavor is deeper than that of regular butter.38
Q: Is ghee lactose-free?
A: Yes. Ghee does not contain lactose, since all its milk content is removed during the production process.39
Q: How long does ghee last?
A: Ghee will last for up to three months when stored in ambient temperature. If placed in the refrigerator, it will last for around six months.40

One thing Birdcouple loves about the New Year is that we get to start identifying and counting birds all over again. That makes us take a second look at every bird we see, and appreciate even the most humble, common birds (like this Ring-Billed Gull) all over again. Perhaps we might even learn something new about old friends.
Well, it's the 6th day of the New Year and we have already seen 42 species, a lot of common ones, but a few treats as well, like a pair of immature Bald Eagles and some Cedar Waxwings that Princess Lisa saw near her work.
We spent a lovely Saturday morning in Howard County, Maryland with our good friend Paul Baicich. Columbia, Paul's town, is known for its lakes and trails, so we did some fun, low-key birding as we walked around Lake Elkhorn and Centennial Lake. The waterfowl was especially good -- and the temperature had warmed up -- at Centennial Lake.
The Ring-Necked Duck is one of Lisa's favorite ducks. We rarely see them here except in winter. They look both beautiful and fierce at the same time.
Lisa will have more to say about Ring-Necked Ducks in a future post. So stay tuned...
Warren's favorite birds of the day were a pair of Canvasback. They look sleek, like a racing hound..
So bring on the House Sparrows, Goldfinches, Great Blue Herons. We may tire of them in July and yearn for something rarer, but in January, every bird is a new bird.

This Sunday is Sanctity of Human Life Sunday. This is the third year that I have preached on this subject. There is simply no way around it, this is a very difficult subject to speak on. Each year I press myself to answer the question, "Why am I preaching on this?" The answer is simple: I believe that God has convicted me to do so through His Word.
As I prayerfully prepare for this message, I am hoping to accomplish three things:
1. To show from Scripture that abortion is wrong.
2. To bring healing to those who have scars from a previous involvement--either direct or indirect--with an abortion.
3. To motivate those listening to engage themselves in this battle of protecting the unborn.
Each year that I have preached on this subject I force myself to watch a video produced by abort73.com so that I don't loose sight of what abortion really is. If you are pro-choice, I challenge you to watch this video.

What do you get when you take 5 beautiful, young girls and ask them to model for a fashion boutique? A whole lot of fun and gorgeous images to be used in your marketing campaign! My friend Daniela owns a beautiful boutique in downtown Plymouth, called "Dazzling Daniela". It's an amazing store full of dresses, sportswear, shoes and tons of spectacular jewelry! We had a great time showing off several outfits with the girls in an attempt to showcase a sampling of the store's offerings. Hat's off to our stunning models who did a tremendous job: Monica Cash, Hunter Callender, Dee Evasic, Barbie Cacicedo and Celia Nip. Enjoy these lovely images! For more information on the store, you can visit www.dazzlingdaniela.com.

'The Voice' contestant Avery Wilson performs at Hamden McDonald's (video)
HAMDEN -- Before Avery Wilson was a favorite on NBC's musical contest show, "The Voice" as a member of team Ceelo -- Ceelo Green being a famous R&B musician -- he was a 13-year-old with a voice.
Juan Castillo, the program director and general manager of WYBC in New Haven, said Wilson's father delivered him a track to the radio station. It didn't take long for Castillo to realize this wasn't wasn't any old mix-tape. Castillo said he can listen to a song and know if it's a hit within 35 seconds. Avery's first track, "Ringtone," was a hit, Castillo said. And, according to Castillo, he was right. The track became quite popular in the regional market -- Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts.
Now Avery is a contender on a national talent competition -- and after returning from the West Coast on a taping break, he took to the microphone at his home base in Hamden.
Avery's homebase is a rather unlikely one -- not a smoky downtown club or basement recording studio, but the McDonald's on Dixwell Avenue.
Gramen Wilson Jr., Avery's older brother, said that it was in this 2320 Dixwell Ave. McDonald's that Wilson got his start. Wilson's father, the director of operations at this and 14 other McDonald's in the region, decided to start holding open mic nights at the Dixwell location for two reasons: one, to give the community a safe place to have some fun every Wednesday night and, two, to give his 9-year-old son Avery a venue in which to sing. Avery said this McDonald's was his launching pad, the place he started singing before he even had the courage to sing.
"I wouldn't look at anyone," Avery said, "I didn't know how to really take care of the stage, you know -- take the crowd and hold it. It was like a learning experience for me. Growth."
Avery said that coming back to this musical incubator was "unbelievable." The walls of the fast food restaurant, as he put it, held his beginning
"It's kind of crazy. When I was here performing when I was younger, I didn't see this far into the future. I didn't look and I didn't want to look because music wasn't for me," Avery said. "But now that it's what I live for and it's become my life, it was kind of surreal to see everyone here for me."
Avery said his return will help people in town take notice of the weekly open mic night where he got his start.
"I think that a lot of people will seize this opportunity a little bit more now that they understand where I came from," Avery said.
Roger Facey, owner and operator of this and 14 other McDonald's in the region, said the open mic event is unique to this Dixwell location.
"We wanted to get closer to the community, to give people in the community a chance to express themselves in a positive environment," Facey said.
Lee "Cool E" Moore of New Haven said the event was important to him and his friend Joshua "JJ" Williams, who make up the rap/spoken word group "The Rebels."
"I think it's just trying to bring everyone together, because there's lots of crime going on in New Haven and the borderline of New Haven and Hamden," Moore said. "It's uniting people and bringing people together to express themselves, to get any news that they want to get out to the public and just display any talents they hold."
Saladin Hassan Jr., also known as "Trooper," said that the Wednesday night event gives people a place to go, an alternative to "being out in the streets and doing everything else." To him, he said, it was an opportunity for expression.
"I like to be seen. I like to be heard. The things that I write, the things that I say -- I like everyone to hear them," Hassan said. "I just love to have fun as well."
As for Avery, he says he'll be back again, despite a trying taping schedule for "The Voice."
"I'm going to try to get here as often as I can," Avery said.

Nothing quite marks the festive season like the smell of pine trees and mulled wine, the sight of merry children gambolling around free from their term time studies, the sensation of crisp cold air on your cheekbones, and a figurine of your (least) favourite celebrity hitching down their pants and taking a dump.
Welcome to the bizarre world of Catalan Christmas traditions.
The Caganer is an omnipresent figure this time of year. Its classic form is that of an archaically-dressed Catalan peasant, replete with kitsch red cap, squatting down in the Christmas manger, doing a number two, amongst the shepherds, wise men and other assorted gift bringers. Indeed, if Jesus had been born in Catalonia, maybe this would have been the very first thing his newborn eyes would have seen.
While it looks more like sacrilege than sanctity, this humble character is in fact a late 17th century throwback whose poor bowel control symbolises good luck and fertility for the year to come. (Or at least that's one theory… you can read through several more on Wikipedia).
At some point, in the region's more recent history, someone rather clever seized on the commercial potential of this Christmas crapper and started popping out celebrity versions of the nativity nugget-dropper.
We recently passed by the main Christmas market to get some photos of these (in)famous defecating figurines, for your delectation…. whether you want to fork out upwards of €15 for one, we'll leave to your discretion.
For even more crappy Catalan traditions head to our feature article on all things Christmas in Barcelona, whilst our posts on what to do in December and where to party on New Year's Eve could also prove useful reading this time of year!

Station Information (Plans and Facilities)
Trains travel frequently from Riding Mill to stations on the route to Newcastle and Carlisle. For up to date information also see:
Riding Mill is situated on the south side of the Tyne some three miles east of Corbridge. Originally centred around its mill and manor house, the village grew in the 19th century with the arrival of the railway.
One notable building in the village centre is the Wellington Hotel, famous for its connection with a famous trial for witchcraft in 1673.
Just outside the village is a large pumping station, built to transport water from Kielder reservoir over the hills to the south and through a tunnel to the River Wear and then on to the Tees, a massive engineering work which has ensured the region has stayed free of water rationing in even the driest of spells

This seated meditating Buddha is shown in 'virasana', a 'half-lotus pose', in a style typical of the Sri Lankan Buddha image. The rounded face with a rather short neck is framed by a neat helmet of tight curls crowned with a distinctive 'ushnisha' in the shape of a flame set with a jewel (now missing). The shoulders of this Buddha are broad and the body is firm and strong. He is clothed in a simple, smooth robe worn in what is known as the open mode - that is, with one shoulder bare. The Buddha is shown in 'dhyanamudra', the gesture of perfect balance and meditation, with the arms resting near his feet with palms facing upwards. This Buddha image is characteristic of the post-Polonnaruva style of image. The simplicity and balance of this piece maintains an air of stillness and peace.

(CNN)Cardiovascular exercise is good for blood flow, which benefits the body and the brain.
Research shows that regular aerobic exercise appears to boost the size of the hippocampus. This is the part of the brain involved in learning and verbal memory. Exercise can also positively affect your mood, self-esteem, memory and your brain's ability to focus and concentrate. Strength training and yoga can even decrease depression symptoms.
With all that in mind (pun intended), even a short morning fitness routine focusing on science-backed benefits could help you kick your brain into high gear each day.
