Rhinoplasty is operated both for aesthetic and functional objectives and it is one of the most preferred operations in our country. It is performed in order to restore the nose deformities, to give the nose a natural and aesthetic appearance and to solve breathing problems. It is called as functional nose remodelling and it aims to solve breathing problems while giving the nose an aesthetic appearance. Futhermore, this treatment solves problems such as curvatures, fractures, cracks and deformities caused by accidents, strikes and injuries.
How is rhinoplasty decided on?
Targeted patients of the rhinoplasty are people who are not content with the appearance of their noses. This treatment can be administered to solve the problems such as curvatures, fractures, cracks and deformities caused by accidents, strikes and injuries. First step of this treatment is medical examination. The patient expresses his/her complaints and needs, and then the doctor determines the problems of the nose. After the medical examination, the kind of ameliorations is decided. Suitability of the targeted nose structure for the patient is related to the aspects such as face type, weight, features, distance between the eyes and the distance between the nose and chin. Thanks to the special softwares the suitable nose structure is viewed on the computer screen and then the doctor and the patient decides on surgery.
How is rhinoplasty administered?
Rhinoplasty is administered in two different ways as open and closed. Open structure rhinoplasty enables the surgeon to operate visually and makes intervention to the middle nasal cartilage easy. As a result, it is the most preferred method. Regardless of the method, the decisions made during the medical examination are performed. The most preferred implementations can be listed as below;
Amendments decided during the medical examination are performed and then the incisions are closed.What should patients avoid after rhinoplasty?
Postoperative period is as important as the operation process. The patient should protect his/her nose and be patient about the healing process. The wound should be dressed regularly; the painkillers, anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous pills should be taken as prescribed. The patient should not work out or sleep facedown for a while.
Who can have rhinoplasty?
People who have stable health status and can receive general anesthesia without having a problem can readily have rhinoplasty. Suitability of the patient for rhinoplasty is determined during the medical examination.
Are the results of rhinoplasty permanent?
The results of rhinoplasty are permanent. Revision operations can be performed if needed, after the tissues renew themselves.
How long does rhinoplasty take?
Rhinoplasty lasts for 1 or 2 hours generally.
When can the patient move on his/her social and business life?
The patient can be discharged from the hospital on the very day of the operation or the next day. After the operation, the patient may feel a dull ache which can be relieved by taking painkillers. If it is necessary, a nasal package can be used. It is not expected that purple spots or edemas around the eyes will be formed after this operation. If so, purple spots or edemas around the eyes will be lessened on the very next day of the operation. They will be absent in a week or two. The swelling also will be decreased slowly. Smoking before or after the operation is not advised because smoking slows down the healing process and causes breathing problems. It is advised to sleep by slightly lifting your head up and to apply cold compress in order to prevent inflation and empurpling. Nasal cast is removed by the doctor within a week approximately. But sometimes it stays more than a week.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - The Chairman of Lubbock County's Green Party says his bounty on removing political campaign signs was not meant to be taken seriously. Clif Burnett of Shallowater put a post on his blog Monday, but took it down, he says, after 12 hours.
"This editor will pay a 'cute $1' (golden dollar coin) for any small Gilbert Flores yard sign," the website said on Monday.
"I was afraid someone would take it seriously," Burnett told KCBD NewsChannel 11 on Tuesday. "Some of these people might think I'm encouraging them to steal signs. And that would be crossing the line."
"I didn't get a call," Burnett says. "Nothing happened."
Local attorney Chuck Lanehart says theft of campaign signs could be treated as Class C Misdemeanor Theft. Or, Lanehart says, it could also be treated as trespassing.
Late Tuesday, Lubbock Police also said allegations of theft would be treated as a Class C misdemeanor, which is roughly the equivalent of a traffic ticket.
Burnett says he was trying to make a political point. He says County Commissioner candidate for re-election Gilbert Flores put signs in the right of way areas and in people's yards without permission.
Burnett says he is not affiliated with the campaign of Flores' runoff opponent in the Democratic Primary, Lorenzo "Bubba" Sedeño.
KCBD NewsChannel 11 was able to reach Flores by phone late Tuesday night. He says he only puts signs where he has permission and he asks his supporters to follow the same rules.
Reward For Small Gilbert Flores Yardsign Announced
LCR editor Clif Burnett has decided to "clean-up" east Lubbock. This editor will pay a "cute $1"(golden dollar coin) for any small Gilbert Flores yardsign. Those wishing to collect their reward must call Clif Burnett at 832-xxxx to make arrangement to surrender their Flores red yardsign for the reward. No reward is offered for the large yardsigns. This offer is only good for one calender week starting today.
Help Rid Lubbock Of Gilbert Flores Yardsigns And Get A Golden Dollar!!

Thoughts From the Coffee Table: Ms. Pac Man made me late for school in the 7th grade. None of it was my fault.
It was actually the fault of 7-11. They were offering 5 games for $1. I held no responsibility in that transgression!
My mother had to write me a note. She was not happy.
While waiting for my plane out of DFW last week, I noticed this unique "lounge" of sorts right next to my gate. 20 or so beautiful monitors with your selection of video games and comfortable chairs.
The attendant told me that this location is one of the first in the country. I was impressed he was there at 6am, but apparently his first customer had been at 4:30am.
By 9am daily he will have a waiting list at both locations, a sure sign that this business concept is unique and on track. Instead of facing fear and frustration in the decline of retail, can we instead spark our imaginations to new heights? I would have never thought of this and yet, it is brilliant!
My only question. How many people will miss a flight due to something not their fault? After all, Fortnite will have you saving the world. How do you balance that against a business trip?
You will bear no responsibility for that transgression. I'll write you a note.

FSB Area Lead for Greater Manchester, Chris Manka, talks about energy and the future of the GM economy…
Last week I attended the International Business Festival in Liverpool as a guest of the North West Business Leadership Team. They were using the event to launch their new report, Essential Resources, that looks at the region's green economy: its strengths, the potential that exists, and how business can help to deliver the carbon reduction ambitions of our leaders across the North West.
Among the panel were several of the North's most significant companies, including Siemen's UK boss, Jurgen Maier, and the CEO of boiler maker Baxi, David Pinder. Representation from the public sector included Todd Holden, Director of Manchester's Low Carbon Hub, and Mark Atherton, Director of Environment at the Combined Authority, who both delivered an excellent and sobering assessment of the facts surrounding the need for decarbonisation.
The report looks at how a successful and balanced economy should work for all businesses, big or small, and at the same time be sustainable and resilient. The North West has an essential role to play in this space. It is rich in potential for generating additional energy, predominantly from renewable resources, as well as in the provision of clean water, the processing of waste water and in the production and processing of food. There is also the view that the industrial revolution started here, so it would make sense we also lead on the drive to decarbonising the economy.
However, these vital resources are not yet being tapped to the extent necessary to meet targets. There is significant business advantage to be gained by focusing on these opportunities.
Obviously, we're talking big projects here, and big projects have big delivery times. I propose that there are other 'quick win' projects that we should focus on in the short term. The housing sector is one particular area I think could do a lot more, driven by changes to building regulations. We are at a crucial moment, where there is significant demand for new housing, but in the context of the Carbon targets being set for 2038, we have an opportunity to deliver a much greener solution. Houses can have a working life of over 100 years, so it is important to build-in as much efficiency as possible, the benefits being realised over the lifetime of the property.
Devolved councils, like we have here in GM, have new powers and therefore the opportunity to create some meaningful minimum requirements for housing design, to force developers to raise their game to the point councils can genuinely visualise reaching the green targets they have signed up to. We must look for inspiration in places like Scandinavia, where their house building is far ahead of ours and use much less power to heat – even in their distinctly colder, longer winters than we get here. We should be asking whether we actually we need to heat our houses for nine months of the year, as our climate is temperate. Even simple measures, such as making sure domestic garages can actually fit a car in, would reduce on-street parking with a knock on effect of reducing congestion, promoting cleaner air and fewer blocked cycle lanes.
I shared these sentiments with the roundtable, and they were roundly welcomed. However, I think it was apparent from those taking part, that there is some confusion around who should be taking the lead in such areas. Those representing the public sector thought business should be leading, and I disagreed. I believe it is up to councils to show a responsible lead. David Pinder of Baxi also saw this as a business opportunity to 'bring it on', because if we can prove it in the UK, it will sell worldwide, and that is the prize Baxi, and other commercial organisations, have their eye on.
All governments understand the need for decarbonising, and sensible application of regulation will force commercial organisations to rise to the challenge. The UK, and the North in particular, has the skills, structures and opportunity to make this happen first.
The concluding message I think most of the meeting agreed with, in a nutshell, was that the answer required high quality, long range consistent regulation, applied uniformly across the north, or, even better, the UK. The Devolved cities have the power to drive this agenda forward.
That businesses are starting to wake up and take notice of this type of subject matter is cause for celebration. Already this year we've had the Mayor's green summit in March, which has focussed minds, and we must build on this forward momentum.
The future success and growth of the UK economy will be built on the back of decarbonisation, and the countries that get there first will race ahead, not just in the UK but in international markets. We have an opportunity to make sure the UK is at the head of monetising a decarbonised economy.

I would buy the gax and keep the extra portensio. The QTYs on these mercs is so low that once mercs hit demand will quickly exceed supply.
The problem with your last statement is that guaranteeing resources would make the game incredibly easy. As has been recounted numerous times balancing your deck against variance is part of...
What do you do with the 59 card deck then?
Np, make sure you check your equips when they come in.
The backer rewards page must have gotten screwed up in the last update. The $250 tiers got 2 each, other than collector which gets 3.
Last I heard the number is closer to 9k.
I am pretty sure collector gets three, not dungeon crawler.
Indeed, well played.
Re-read his post. It is dripping with irony and satire.
I'm pretty sure there are two months of croc/minion left.
An English lesson I actually enjoyed, thanks.
I would imagine he is implying that prices will drop. Which initially sounds good to F2P players, except that without an inefficient resale market the F2P players never get a chance to earn money by...
You have been answered by several posters already, but just to add my two cents. In a P2W game whoever adds the most money wins, every time. In HEX no matter how much money you throw at the game,...
in other words, not working.
That seems like it would work. Whatever they decide they just need to tell us, so we know what to expect.
Actually you haven't proven anything, other than you are extremely dismissive. This is a great way to rebalance the oversupply problem and give us all something else to chase. We all know that...
This would be awesome IMO. We need a way to suck these cards out of the system and this fits the bill. Not sure I see the need to foil promos though. Everything else I agree with.
Crafting should help alleviate this issue to an extent.
Thanks Colin.
I see the equipment as well, anyone know if that is forthcoming?
Well said. I was trying to figure out how to express this earlier and gave up.

QUETTA: Pakistan ensures technology affordability to businesses and individual consumers, announced by the Global Information Technology Report 2014 of the World Economic Forum (WEF).
At the rank of 111 among 148 countries, Pakistan's performance has been relatively stable on the Network Readiness Index 2014 of the World Economic Forum (WEF), Pakistan lost 6 ranks as compared to 2013.
Pakistan showed slight improvement on the Business and Innovation Environment pillar by improving by ranking at 101 as compared to 102 last year. Also on the readiness sub-index it improves from 21 in 2013 to 19 this year. The efficiency of legal system in settling disputes has risen from 109 last year to 112 in 2014. Similarly the efficiency of legal system has also deteriorated from 97 to 108 in 2013 and 2014 respectively.
"One of the key findings of the report is that Pakistan cannot only rely on ICT infrastructure development to become competitive. Rather, the benefits of ICT can only be fully derived when a country implements a holistic strategy aimed at creating conditions for skills, innovation and entrepreneurship to flourish alongside modern infrastructure" said Amir Jahangir, Chief Executive Officer of Mishal Pakistan, a country partner institute of the World Economic Forum.
"One of the primary concerns for Pakistan is the lack of data protection laws, this can have medium to long-term impact on the development of a knowledge-based industry fostering innovation and entrepreneurship, a potential Pakistan needs to capitalize due to its demographic potential", Jahangir further added.
The Report showed concerns on Pakistan's human capital development on the skills pillar to improve performance on the network readiness index as the quality of the education system has gone bad to worst 75 (2013) to 84 this year. An alarming deterioration in the performance in math and science education has also been pointed out where Pakistan stands at 104 now from the ranking of 88 in 2013. The report showed serious efforts required by both the public and private sector on the extent of staff training where it has lost 16 points and the country stands at an alarming 128 rank.
Pakistan has shown improvements in the business and innovation environment pillar, where availability of latest technologies has improved from 83 (2013) to 79 (2014), however, lack of venture capital has dropped 22 points and ranks at 77 this year. Pakistan is also losing its regional competitiveness advantage on doing business indicators, where No. of days to start a business ranks at 98 and the No. of procedures to start a business at 119 now.
The report highlighting the affordability of technology ranks Pakistan as the 10th most affordable cellular serviced country, where as Liberia tops this list with Sri Lanka at 4th, Bangladesh at 5th and India being on 7th globally. Pakistan ranks at No. 1 on the Internet and telephony competition globally. On monthly subscription charges for fixed (wired) broadband Internet service (PPP $), Pakistan stands on 62 as compared to Sri Lank being the most affordable (among 148 countries), Bangladesh being at 3rd and India at 4th in the region.
On the businesses usage of technology Pakistan has improved its indicators, where business-to-business usage of Internet has improved from 116 to 104 this year, similarly the business to consumer usage has also gained improvement by securing the position of 103 from 112 last year.
On the government usage of technology Pakistan showed some depressive performance as importance of ICT to government's vision has gone from 117 in 2013 to 128 in 2014. Similarly, the government in promoting the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) Pakistan was also weak as this year it ranked at 91 from 77 in 2013.
Little progress is being made in bridging the digital divide between technology savvy nations and others, according to the 13th edition of the Global Information Technology Report 2014. The stalling of progress is worrisome for emerging and developing nations, which are at risk of missing out on many positive impacts information and communications technologies (ICT) bring, including increased innovation, economic competitiveness and greater social inclusion.
In the South Asian region, Pakistan was outperformed by Sri Lank at 76, India 83, Bhutan 94, Iran 104, whereas Pakistan was ahead of Bangladesh at 119 and Nepal 123.
Lower down the Index, many large emerging economies continue to struggle to realize their full digital potential. China (62nd), Brazil (69th) and Mexico (79th) and India (83rd) all drop in the rankings. However, countries that have developed a strong vision to develop their ICT capacity do well, such as the United Arab Emirates (24th), Kazakhstan (38th) or Panama (43rd), which all improved.
With this year's coverage extending to a record 148 economies, the Global Information Technology Report (GITR) report remains one of the most comprehensive and authoritative assessments of the impact of ICT on competitiveness of nations and the well-being of their citizens.
To measure this, the NRI assesses the preparedness of an economy to fully leverage ICT in terms of:
1. ICT infrastructure cost of access and the presence of the necessary skills to ensure an optimal use Published under the theme, "Rewards and Risks of Big Data", the report's Networked Readiness Index (NRI) measures the capacity of 148 economies to leverage ICT for growth and well-being. It finds consistency at the top end of the rankings this year, with Finland (1st), Singapore (2nd), Sweden (3rd), the Netherlands (4th), Norway (5th) and Switzerland (6th) all retaining their positions from last year. The United States (7th) continues its upward trajectory, while Hong Kong SAR (8th) and the Republic of Korea (10th) both climb. The United Kingdom (9th) is the only nation in the top 10 to fall.
2. Uptake and use of ICT among governments, business and individuals
3. Business and innovation environment, and the political and regulatory framework
4. Economic and social impacts accruing from ICT
"Over time, the GITR series has become one of the most respected studies of its kind. It is used extensively by policymakers and relevant stakeholders as a unique tool to identify strengths and weaknesses and to define and build national strategies for developing and better leveraging their digital potential," said Soumitra Dutta, Anne and Elmer Lindseth Dean at the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University and co-editor of the report.
"In addition to the persistent digital divide across countries, governments should also be wary of understanding, identifying and addressing potential internal digital divides so that new opportunities can be created for all and support enhanced social inclusion," said Beñat Bilbao-Osorio, senior economist at the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness and Benchmarking Network and co-editor of the report.
In this sense, "digital strategies should not focus only on developing the ICT infrastructure, but also in creating the right conditions for an effective use of ICT to boost innovation, competitiveness and higher social inclusion," said Bruno Lanvin, executive director of INSEAD's European Competitiveness Initiative (IECI), and of Global Indices projects at INSEAD.
"Nations and organizations need to understand where they stand in terms of a Big Data maturity, assess their progress, and determine what they need to do to extract greater business and organizational benefits from the vast volume of data," said Bahjat El-Darwiche, partner, Strategy& (formerly Booz & Company) and sponsor of the report.
"The Internet of Everything and big data applications are ushering in the next wave of technology innovation," according to Dr Robert Pepper, vice president of Global Technology Policy at Cisco. "Big data requires big judgment, and the right policies are needed so that the Internet of Everything can deliver on its promise of immense economic and social benefits."
The Global Information Technology Report is the result of a long-standing partnership between the World Economic Forum and INSEAD, and, since last year, with the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University. The soft-data on Pakistan for the Global Information Technology Report is generated by Mishal Pakistan through the annual Executive Opinion Survey.
The NRI uses a combination of data from publicly available sources and the results of the Executive Opinion Survey, a comprehensive annual survey conducted by the Forum in collaboration with Partner institutes, a network of over 160 leading research institutes and business organizations. This survey of more than 15,000 executives provides insight into areas critical for networked readiness.

Vegan Mozzarella Sticks
Vegan MoFo: It's that time of year again! If you don't know what's up, allow me to give you a brief overview: short for the Vegan Month of Food, Vegan MoFo is an annual blogging event about all things vegan. Participants are given daily prompts and then post about it. If you need more info check out the MoFo website and get hip (click here and then come back). Today's prompt: a cuisine that inspires me to travel.
I think it goes without saying but I'll say it anyway: vegan cuisine is the only cuisine that inspires me to travel. I hear London has the most vegan spots per capita over all other cities. It's kinda the only reason why I would ever travel there. Well the access to bomb vegan food and to tour with my band, Sun Blood Stories. But mainly for the all access pass to vegan foods that I've never tried before. I mean seitan is abound and I've seen pics of the meltiest and gooiest of vegan mozz sticks.
I've only had vegan mozz sticks once on tour in California at The Butcher's Son. I feel inspired to travel back down there for the good eats too and I will be in October. That trip to The Butcher's Son was indulgent to say the least. The mozz sticks were better than mine. Mine are not as gooey but they're still super effing good mozzarella sticks. They're also surprisingly easy. You should give it a try.
Vegan Mozzarella Sticks1 block of Miyoko's Mozzarella
2 heaping tbsp. of ground flax mixed with 1/4 c warm water
2/3 cup italian style breadcrumbs
freshly ground black pepper
- Cut the block of cheese into 1/2 inch sticks.
- Whisk some salt and pepper into your flax eggs.
- Mix some salt and pepper into your breadcrumbs.
- Take each cheese stick and dip it into the flegg the coat in breadsticks. Repeat with all your cheese sticks.
- Repeat step 4 to give all your cheese sticks a second coat cuz it's about to get cold.
- Freeze for two hours.
- Fry in veg oil until golden crispy on the outside and serve with your fave sauce.
UP NEXT: Back to some Southern Shares with Cocktails.
Can't get enough? I'm all over the place, let's follow each other (cause that doesn't sound creepy, at all!) Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest. Nothing makes me heart more full than when people let me know they've tried my recipes. If you wanna help make my heart happy you can hashtag thisveganlyfe or @ ambereatsveg, comment on the post, post on my wall, tweet at me; whichever socials you feel comfy with.
All the love,

This post contains a picture of an injured toe. While you're thinking about whether or not to take the risk of seeing blood (it's not gory, but perhaps I'm not the best judge of gore) you can search for the shooting star:
Most of you know that I broke my big toe last November. It was a bone-in-five-pieces, no weight-bearing, no driving for six weeks kind of break. It was physically painful, but also, somehow, humiliating. It changed my life.
The other night I was scrolling through my phone pictures trying to make space for video of a kid band concert the next day when I came across this:
Seeing it jolted me like I'd been struck by lightning. I'd completely, totally forgotten that I'd injured a different toe on the same foot earlier the same year. A friend once told me that the universe or your spirit guides (or however this guidance manifests for you) sends you messages. When you fail to hear them they get louder and more disruptive until you have no choice but to listen to them. Two toe injuries on the same foot in the same year? The last one literally knocking me off of my feet? What message had I missed!?
I spent the next few days wracking my brain and scouring the internet for a hint to the message here. Eventually it fell into place. The universe was telling me: WALK ON THE GROUND, NOT IN THE CLOUDS.
Let me tell you how I got this first injury so you'll understand how I know that this is exactly the message I'd missed.
March 2018. I got to fly to Maui, Hawaii on flight benefits. I got to stay in a house on the beach, to which I was invited as a guest. I got to take a vacation with a very dear aunt who was dying, before she was too sick to travel. I got to spend a week with seven of my very favorite people on earth. I got my parents, who I adore, all to myself – with this living reminder that we don't get to keep our parents forever. I got to swim in the ocean any time I wanted, snorkel every day, see whales and lizards and birds. I got to watch the sun rise and set every day, and lay in the grass and photograph the stars every night. In the water, we could hear the whales songs. The sun was warm, the ocean was warm. It should have been bliss.
But I was absolutely miserable.
Let me reiterate. I was abysmally, horribly, terminally mis-er-ble.
I'd been sick as a dog all winter. My husband had received work news that we knew would upend our lives, but not how or when. My aunt was dying. I was feeding off relatives' anxiety. I was paralyzed with anxiety and angst and anger. I spent most of the trip trapped in my head, feeling miserable, perseverating about the woe of my life and seeing very little of the bliss surrounding me.
So one day I'm walking down the beach and I randomly kick a lava rock hidden under the sand and rip half my toenail off.
There I am, 100% in my brain and here's the universe saying, "RIGHT HERE FRIEND! BEACH!! YOU'RE WALKING ON IT! HEAD OUT OF THE CLOUDS, LOVE! WALK ON THE BEACH!
Unfortunately, I'm sometimes too self-absorbed to listen to the universe so my mental space had to get tremendously worse until one day in November when I broke another toe on the same foot. I was perseverating again (it's my best-honed skill!) and shaking trash out of my son's backpack. And there came his laptop, flying straight down on my toe, as if to say "GROUND, BABE! WE WALK ON THE GROUND, NOT IN THE CLOUDS."
Fortunately, the final break was the impetus I needed to stop living my miserable life in my brain and start walking on the ground again. Later in November I got the ball rolling for a big life change and in 2019 I've completed a semester of nursing pre-requisites, gotten my CNA license, gotten a job and I'm now applying for nursing school (and yes, OF COURSE! I'm still taking photography clients. Always!). It's been a stressful year, but I'm finding that when my brain starts running away I can simply remind it – WALK ON THE GROUND, LOVE, NOT IN THE CLOUDS. And I do. And I really enjoy this new life on the ground.

High Praise For "My Fair Lady"
My prejudice in favor of LCT's current Broadway production of the show is chronicled in my LCT blog. But read what no less a figure than Ian Buruma, editor of the New York Review of Books, has to say: 'Everything works perfectly in Bartlett Sher's brilliant new production of My Fair Lady. The sets (by Michael Yeargan) are wonderful; the costumes (Catherine Zuber) are splendid; and the cast, led by Lauren Ambrose as Eliza and Harry Hadden-Paton as Higgins, is first rate. But above all, the musical, so often seen before, feels entirely fresh. Sher's My Fair Lady is actually more faithful to George Bernard Shaw's original concept of his play, Pygmalion, upon which the musical is based, than any production before, including the famous movie with Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison.'

Max Bahnson has an interesting post about the opening ceremonies and the first day at the Czech Beer Festival, along with some good insight and opinions on what works and what doesn't. Please read.
From where I sat, the first day seemed to go very well, especially given the scale of the event and the fact that this year's is the first. There were some great beers that are never seen on draft in Prague. There was a friendly, festive atmosphere with lots of catching up. Honza Kočka from Pivovar Kocour Varnsdorf dropped by. Tomáš Erlich from SPP showed up with friends from Poland's Bractwo Piwne (still in town from the recent Days of Polish Beer at Pivovarský klub).
The most rewarding thing? To my eyes, the beers from small producers were by far the most popular.
But it turned out I wasn't the only one who thought so. The next morning, I got a call from the festival organizers.
Everyone, they said, was going for the beers from the small breweries. The vast tents from state-owned Budvar and the large breweries owned by multinationals were not nearly as popular. Thus, they had a request: could I recommend another small brewery or two to bring in?
I offered up a few suggestions. I'm happy to say that from today onward, the festival will also serve Herold Bohemian Black Lager and Herold Bohemian Granát Lager, two great Czech lagers that definitely deserve wider recognition (and wider distribution). There's a chance that even more beers from small producers will show up this week.
Another possible change: the festival organizers have been considering dropping the 120 CZK entry fee, or at least dropping it after 8 p.m. Though it hasn't been ixnayed yet, if there's news, you'll see it here.
In any case, I think it's a great sign that, given the choice between the big brands and small producers, consumers are picking the smaller breweries.
And why not? The vast Pilsner Urquell tent serves Pilsner Urquell, a great beer, sure, but one which is available in what seems to be more than half of the pubs in Prague. At the small breweries tent, you could try twelve unusual brews including Jihlavský Grand, a strong golden lager much like a Doppelbock, with a rich maltiness that completely masks its 8.1% alcohol, which many Ratebeerians seem to admire, and yet which is never seen on draft in Prague. I found the Rohozec 12° pale lager to be in fine form at the festival, and yet I know only a couple of pubs in Prague that have it regularly.
According to the organizers, there's a chance as well that Konrad will start bringing in more of its beers beyond the first two on the Czech Beer Festival's official beer list. (Perhaps the beer called Joker, which no one at Beer Advocate has even tried.)
Depending on how things shake out, more of the festival space currently devoted to industrial brewers might be turned over to small producers — almost the exact opposite of what usually happens in most beer retail outlets.
For a first attempt at a festival on a large scale, things are looking pretty good: great service, friendly atmosphere and plenty of unusual beers (with even more on the way). It actually looks quite a lot like the picture up top, though that is in fact a shot from Munich's Starkbierzeit, which has been going on as an organized event since at least the nineteenth century. Only in its debut, the Czech Beer Festival is already almost there.

Planned Giving
Leave a lasting legacy and enjoy tax benefits through a planned gift to the museum. Advanced planning will ensure that your bequest, annuity, trust, or gift of real estate will support an area of the museum's work that is important to you and reduces the tax burden imposed on your estate during or after your lifetime.
Planned gifts are made through the university. Donors can indicate if they would like their gift to benefit the George Washington University Museum and/or The Textile Museum, or even a particular area of the museum's work.
Types of Gifts
The descriptions below provide language from the university's planned giving program. The museum staff, in concert with the university's planned giving team, are available to assist you in crafting a planned gift that reflects your passion and interest in the museum.
- End of life
- Bequests: Bequests – a gift of property through your will or living trust – may be made in any amount, and may be unrestricted or designated for a specific program or purpose at the museum. A bequest also may be used to fund the Life Income options shown below, in order to provide income to children and support The Textile Museum after your lifetime.
- Retirement Plan Beneficiary designations: Any IRA, 401(k), 403(b), and/or Keogh plan assets remaining at death may be designated to the museum, allowing them to pass tax-free and in full to the museum at the donor's death.
- Other Beneficiary Designations: You may designate the museum to receive the death benefit of a life insurance policy or the remainder of a wide variety of financial accounts, including brokerage and bank accounts.
- Life income
- Charitable Annuities: For a gift of $10,000 or more, you can receive an immediate income tax deduction and guaranteed, fixed annuity income for the duration of your lifetime or others designated by you. After the income beneficiary's lifetime, the annuity's remainder will be used by the museum for the purpose you designate.
- Charitable Remainder Trusts: A CRT allows you to make a gift of $100,000 or more to a trust, receive a tax deduction, and receive either a fixed or variable income that lasts for your lifetime or a term of years up to 20. When the trust terminates, its remainder will be used by the museum for the purpose you designate.
- Charitable Remainder Trusts funded with objects (textiles, othe rart, etc.): A CRT may be funded with textiles or other tangible personal property worth $100,000 or more, rather than with cash or readily marketable securities. An additional contribution of cash or appreciated securities is recommended to cover expenses until the tangible personal property is sold. Tangible personal property works well with only certain variations of charitable remainder trusts. Our planned giving specialists can work with you and your estate planning attorney on the details of the specific trust you wish to establish. We can also provide information for obtaining the necessary appraisal associated with this life income gift.
- Real estate: Real estate is a special asset category that may be used to fund bequests or life income gifts such as CGAs or CRTs; it is also possible to give your home to the museum in exchange for a large tax deduction, while maintaining the right to live in the home for the rest of your life.
Heritage Society
When you make a planned gift to the George Washington University Museum and The Textile Museum, you will be invited to join the university's Heritage Society.
Those who specify The Textile Museum as the recipient of their gift will also be included in the George Hewitt Myers Heritage Society that recognizes people who have followed the example of The Textile Museum's founder through an investment in future textile art appreciation.
The museum staff, in concert with the university's planned giving team, are available to you as resources as you formulate your estate plans.
Get Started
To begin a conversation about planned giving opportunities, contact Eliza Ward, director of development, at 202-994-5438.

Re: Making a world feel old
For some reason, Warhammer 40k feels "old" to me.
There are those Chaos Gods, Daemons, Dimensions, neverending wars... Giant space ships exist, and most soldiers will use guns and blasters to purge the unclean, but nothing feels as good, as punching orc to death, or slicing heretics with a mighty blade. I think that's because of "religion" in some way. Modern world (at least in western countries) is less and less religious... People are saying, that it smells of "progress"...
And then... in 41st Milenium, we still have religious wars, heretics and inquisition... which can destroy a whole planet with just one word:

Wasn't there a book/game or something like that with a woman being sick with the schizophrenia in prehistoric setting, who thought she hears a "Voice of God". That was a really cool idea too.

Re: How to start creating a good plot?
I want to write about heroic protagonists who try to do the right thing despite not being super powered and fights being very dangerous for them
Wait. If so - they try to do the right thing, or at least, what they feel is a right thing. Our recognition of what is "The Right Thing" evolved over the course of many, many years of development of our cultures. Even now - "good" of one is "evil" for another. Bronze-age societies might not have a complex moral code. Similiar to Hammurabi's code of: "an eye for an eye". Early human societies were primitive, so the laws had to be rudimental, in order for everyone to understand them.
It might be a "good thing" for a druid, to slay an entire village, that was unfortunate enough to be near some random magic-corruption. He might kill them "just in case", and he will even think it is a right thing to do - because he thinks he will save their souls from being corrupted. Just like some people who believed, that by killing a witch, they will save her soul from condemnation. I can bet that villagers from said village, will think differently than druid. A man who tries to save the villagers, might soon enough experience, that sometimes it is better not to interfere in something, he does not understand entirely (villagers are slowly getting corrupted).
Just throwing ideas.

Re: Inspiration
I remember how I saw an image of electric lines in some brazilian city. It was a mass of tangled wires, going out in each and every possible direction. And propably even between dimensions - as I laughed when I saw it 1st time.
For some reason, I started to imagine dragon(s) tangled by ropes and chains... Ideas can strike you anywhere - really.
It's not the same photo, but you get the idea.

Re: Dragonbane's Worldbuilding Questions
@Dragonbane - have you ever considered putting a race that is not humanoid?
I know that we can argue about what "humanoid" truly means, but for me it means that a being looks, behave and think just like a human being. If you just want humanoid races in your world, then it's completely fine. You might just want human-like wolfs and human-like lions fighting each other. It's still fine - you do you.
But for me it is not. Putting humans in animal costumes looks just... lazy to me.
I'm going for a rule: If this character can be played as a human, then there is no need for him to be of a different race. I will just color him along (as I have white, yellow, black and green-blue humans to emapthize them with places they are living in). A different race must feel distinctive - not only look a little bit off. They should act and think in a different way. Just look how vastly different our race can be. Just try and compare people from Japan, and those from west Europe. Many different. Much diversity. WOW.

Re: What's your favourite fantasy title?
"The Crippled God" - It got me interested into the series of Malazan, and it sounds badass in my language.
"The Dark Defiles" - This sounds even more badass (the cover is sick too!). It speaks to me really loud.
"The Last Mortal Bond" - Just like higher one -althought "Unhewn Throne doesn't sound that badass".
"The Slow Regard of Silent Things" - it's so simple, yet so beautiful.
Basically everything with "shattered". I want this word in one of my books. Or even a whole cycle. I don't care - I just love them too much - "I.e. - Shattered Seas"
"The Blade Itself" - Maybe because there is no way to translate it right in my language. It just speaks to me, just like the 2nd one.
"Heroes Die" - Just like that.
"The graveyard book" - Yet another one that sounds badass and has a sick cover.
Now I realised, that I pick my books because of it's covers and titles. Don't we all?

Re: How realistic do you want your fantasy?
Where I live we are being tought about a "sinusoid of literary eras" or "sinusoid of historical periods". You propably have it too - I don't know. Basically, after times of "rationality and knowledge", there are times of "faith and feelings". Ups and downs - just like sinusoid. I could not find anything in english but I transleted this one (propably with some mistakes, but you'll get what I mean):
Propably "now" is the era of rationality in literature, so even fantasy is more and more rational. Maybe in 10-20 years people will get bored of it, and the period of "true fantasy" and surreality will arise.

Re: What do you like or hate in regards to book summaries?
What I dislike are:
Giant spoilers that go as deep as 75% of the story.
Or something that was meant to sound epic, but is so overused that it just makes the whole thing boring:
"the chosen one must..." (lay down and die already)
"the fate of the kingdom/world/universe depends..."
"only he/she/them can save..."
"...must find the way to..."
"...explore...newly found feelings to..."
F'rinstance, any book that mentions politics or intrigue gets a +1, but any book that doesn't include a named female character in the summary gets -5
That's harsh xD
I guess it's hard for you to rate many books higher than "3". Negative "3".
What I like is a bit of mystery:
"...must achieve...but not everything goes as planned"
"...will test the power of alliances..."
"...terrible...ravages... and nobody knows why"
I give points for mentioned monsters
Even in human skin.

Everything should be good, our study, our work. Competition is fierce. If you don't do well you will fall behind. Everybody likes to be first both in their work and studies. Everybody searches for the best. So begins an article in the Catholic Peace Weekly by a member of the staff.
To be good you have to work hard. To do it half-heartedly is not right. You have to give it you're all. You have to give up many things: time, peace of mind, at times family and friends, sleep, holidays and you will be complimented as faithful.
Labor is sacred. Work is precious. This is what we learned and lived. Work and employment is the ground of life. It allows us to take care of our families; realize ourselves and contribute to the world, a reason for our pride and feeling of accomplishment.
This is also at first glance the teaching of the church. Work is both a right and a duty, both a grace and an offering. Paul the apostle said: "Anyone who doesn't work should not eat." "Work in silence, and earn your bread" (Thess. 3:12). St. Benedict said: "idleness is the enemy of the soul." The teaching on 'pray and work' summarizes such a spirit. It is the way of salvation and sanctification.
Why did he praise work so highly? The circumstances of the times required it. At that time labor was largely the responsibility of slaves and serfs. Hand labor was considered to be a lowly task. The monastery helped to change that perception. They rejected the material abundance and pursued a life of asceticism and abstinence. Labor and self-sufficiency was a value.
Times have changed. We can not compare our lives to that of the past. We are overcome with work. There is a goal to achieve and production goals. Each has a performance goal and appraisal follows. I go to work at dawn and work to late at night. Holidays are few and work is piled up. Companies strive for survival. Need to reduce labor costs to adjust the balance. Employees become working machines.
Labor destroys us. I work for my family but it becomes second in concern. Many work for the future but are not happy. Many are depressed, sad, sick, and lonely. Frequent irritation arises and anger. We need a break. I want to rest. I want to recite poetry on a lake shore. I want to walk in the forest and sing. I want to praise the creator for the great mystery of life and to embrace mother nature. I want to pray together with nature a beautiful prayer to the creator.
The church does not only emphasize the sacredness of labor. The Sabbath tradition is also in the church. For six days you shall do your work,but stop on the seventh day so that your ox and your donkey may rest and the son of your slave girl have a breathing space, and the stanger too" (Exodus 23,12).
Earlier, Pope Leo XIII saw the destruction of the human spirit due to labor. In 1891, more than 100 years ago, he proclaimed the way of New Things (Rerum Novarum). In that flow, Saint John Paul II awakens us: "Work is for man, not man for labor" (Laborem exercens) 'Through Work'.
Thoughts on the way to work by our writer on the morning of Labor Day. Where on earth has God's grace gone?

The Vancouver Island University women's volleyball team lived up to its advance billing, defeating the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades in decisive fashion on Friday evening in Nanaimo.
In a clash of nationally ranked teams, the No. 3 Mariners got the best of the No. 7 Cascades by scores of 25-10, 25-21 and 25-15.
VIU improved to 9-2, while UFV now sits at 7-4 ahead of Saturday's rematch (1 p.m., pacwestbc.tv).
"When you let your opportunities slide, a team at that level is going to take advantage and that's what they did tonight," Cascades head coach Mike Gilray said. "I don't want to take anything away from them – they played extremely well, and their errors were really low. We didn't match their intensity, and they executed at a much higher level."
The first set was all VIU, but the Cascades battled the hosts tooth and nail in the second, leading 21-20 in the late stages. The Mariners, though, reeled off the next five points to take a two-set lead, as UFV struggled with attacking errors. That was the match's turning point, and VIU rode the momentum to another big win in the third.
Gilray noted that it was his team's worst performance at the service line this season to date, but also saw reason for optimism as libero Amy Davidson and setter Olivia Heinen each saw their first game action off the bench after multi-game injury absences. Davidson came on in the second set and helped steady the Cascades' defence, finishing with six digs.
Left sides Kim Bauder and Amanda Matsui led the UFV attack with eight and seven kills, respectively, and Matsui added a team-high seven digs. Middle Teagan Johnstone registered two blocks, and Bauder's 2.3 serve-receive rating was a team high.
"We have to learn from it," Gilray summarized. "We're a better team than that, and we have to be prepared to meet them at their best.
"Tomorrow's another measuring stick."

A lot of the Microsoft and other documentation is incomplete and\or wrong! I have not found a single complete description, so I thought I would post it here.
I experimented a lot and I think this is the correct execution order...
- Winpeshl.exe is run (required file - must not be deleted) - if winpeshl.ini exists the application(s) specified in X:\Windows\system32\winpeshl.ini are run.
- If the winpeshl.ini file exists but is invalid, a cmd shell will be opened and the process will stop.
- If winpeshl.ini does not exist then X:\Setup.exe is run, if it exists.
- X:\Setup.exe allows the user to choose a language and then choose either Repair or Install - if you choose Install it runs X:\sources\setup.exe.
- The \Sources\Setup.exe will look on all drives for a \Sources folder containing both the file "setup.exe" and a install.wim, install.swm or install.esd file in the same folder - if not found it will prompt you to install CD\DVD drivers.
- Windows can then be installed using the \Sources\install.* files.
- If no winpeshl.ini file is found and no X:\Setup.exe is found then cmd /k X:\Windows\system32\startnet.cmd is run.
- Usually, Windows PE's boot.wim install images contain the X:\Windows\system32\Startnet.cmd file which just contains the command Wpeinit.
- Wpeinit.exe loads network resources and coordinates with networking components like DHCP. It also loads a X:\Unattend.xml file (if it exists) to process settings such as firewall, network and display settings.
- When Wpeinit.exe completes, the Command Prompt window is displayed.
- The boot process of Windows PE is complete.

From – To LTD Translation Agency pride themselves on the fact they are a fully credited (Registered ATC Member), able to offer a full range of certified and official translation services. Carried out in a professional, fast and efficient manner, we are able to meet a wide variety of translation requirements. Being a certified member of The Association of Translation Companies guarantees peace of mind for the customer, and absolute assurance in the quality of translation carried out.
If you require a certified translation from a top translation company, then look no further. At From – To LTD Translation Agency our aim is to deliver the highest quality certified translations and we're proud to hold the ISO 17100 standard in the industry.
As certified translators, we can provide our customers with fully accredited documents, both in the United Kingdom and internationally. Adhering to all the necessary legal guidelines, you can rest assured that the translation you're receiving meets all the required legal guidelines and is recognised and accepted by a variety of government bodies, including the Home Office, Foreign & Commonwealth Office, UK Passport Office, NARIC, academic institutions, consulates, educational organisations, Courts of Law and a number of other official institutions.
As an officially credited translation company, we can provide you with an official and legally recognised certificate of authenticity, guaranteeing the certified translation you receive is an accurate and true representation of the original document. Issued and signed on our company's letterhead paper, we can also provide you with your own copy of the official document as well as the translation.
Certified translations are normally required when submitting legal documents: for example, birth, marriage certificates or documents intended for official use, such as contracts or patents. You may be asked by an official body, such as Courts of Law or the Home Office, to provide a certified translation of their original documents, and it's vitally important that this is a notarized translation that can be backed up by the certificate of authenticity. Understanding what constitutes a 'certificate translation' can be confusing, and that's where our professional, fast and efficient service comes in, and we guarantee to handle your documents with the strictest confidentiality. There are generally two types of recognised certified translation: 'standard' and 'notarized'. In most cases, a standard certified translation can be used for full legal use within the United Kingdom. It is delivered officially signed and stamped by the translator/translation company together with a cover letter, giving full details. This can be treated as a proof of accuracy, which ensures that all your documents are easily recognized and accepted at all government offices and departments.
There is a number of reasons why a translation may need to be officially certified, and generally, any document that needs to be translated and used for legal purposes – birth, marriage certificates, etc. – will have to be certified. Fully compliant in the UK, our standard translation service includes a declaration confirming our responsibility for the translation, our accreditation to translate documents and certify, and the fact it is an accurate and professional translation of the original document. The certified translation we provide is dated and includes the original signature of the translator in charge of the project. Even if you fluently speak the languages required, this doesn't mean your translation is valid, and due to the legal nature of the documents, it is therefore necessary to seek the services of an accredited translation agency, such as ours. To ensure your documents are legally recognized by the necessary UK authorities, they will need to be translated and certified by an officially registered translator and a translation agency that is a member of the ATC (Association of Translation Companies), such as From – To LTD Translation Agency.
Send us a request and you will receive a free quote from one of our expert team within just 30 minutes. Once payment is agreed and made, we'll start working on the translation straight away. Most documents are completed in 48 hours, depending on word count and language complexity.
The Association of Translation Companies
Formed in 1976 by a small group of leading British translation companies keen to promote the use of professionally produced, high quality, translation work by professional translation companies, the ATC is widely regarded as the leading voice and stands at the forefront of the development of international standards for translation and interpreting.
ATC works to represent the interests of translation companies operating in the UK's expanding language services industry and is widely regarded as the language sector's leading professional body. Adopting a forward-thinking stance dedicated to maintaining the highest possible industry standards, it supports its members and ensures they thrive and grow in what is a competitive global economy, which is now home to over 1,200 individual translation institutions.

Gen. Krulak kicks off Trinity's 2014-15 Leadership Series
Gen. Charles "Chuck" C. Krulak, retired commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps, former member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the current president of Birmingham-Southern College, addressed the student body of Trinity on August 20, 2014.
A four-star General with two tours to Vietnam under his belt, General Krulak constantly surprised the students with his friendly and fun demeanor. He began his address with a story about his second tour to Vietnam. He spoke of a young Marine just seventeen years of age who became like a second son to him. The heart-wrenching story climaxed with the death of the young man. Through his story, General Krulak made the point about the difference anyone can make at a young age. He told the students repeatedly, "Don't let anyone define you."
He shared his motto for effective leadership. "If you want to be successful in life, be a man or woman of character." He spoke of being selfless and having moral courage, and used an example that hit home with all of the students. In assessment of his three employers in the White House, he noted that one in particular was better prepared to lead, but that he had a character flaw that prevented him from reaching his full potential.
This was the the first speaker in Trinity's 2014-2015 Leadership Series, and General Krulak has set the bar high.

Where in the world is Bodgan
An update on the shipping situation.
Hi guys I have a couple of things to report on the shipping front. First let me say I'm really really trying to do my best and am being hit by an absolute storm of one bad thing after another here.
Mice and Mystics: When my fulfillment agency imported thier excel sheet into UPS servers it cut off part of the sheet and not all of the orders went out 2 days ago like they were supposed to. Also apparently email notices did not go out to let customers know their order has shipped. So just because you didn't get a notice doesn't mean your order didn't ship. You can contact me at [email protected] if you are getting nervous about your order. Please include your invoice number. I'll do what I can to keep up with the emails and let you know what I know. I have the tracking numbers of the orders that have shipped. We sent out all domestic orders of 1x copy of Mice and Mystics via UPS Ground as it was quickest to send them all the same way.
If you are an international customer who ordered yours went out via USPS Priority International, and you should have gotten an email letting you know it shipped. Yours went out a little after everyone elses because we had to fill out customs forms for every order.
Now the Bodgan part. The factory printed Bodgan along with a resupply of the rest of the promos but failed to send them to us. We are having them airshipped in, but this means we can't ship the orders until he gets here. I know these promos are a big part of why many of you support us with direct orders, I'm incredibly sorry that they are the cause of a delay in us getting you the new stuff you've been waiting on. I'm still waiting on a tracking number from the factory so I know when they will arrive, but it should be more than a few more days.
I hope you all can find a way to forgive these mishaps and continue to support us. We'll continue to do our best to make products that you want so badly you are itching to have them.

Roasted Italian Sausage Soup with Garbanzos, Lentils, and Tomatoes
Roasted Italian Sausage Soup with Garbanzos, Lentils, and Tomatoes is a tasty low-glycemic soup that's loaded with flavor! And this tasty soup is also dairy-free, gluten-free, and South Beach Diet friendly. Use Soup Recipes to find more recipes like this one.
Click to PIN Roasted Italian Sausage Soup with Garbanzos, Lentils, and Tomatoes.
I have so many good soups back in the archives that need a photo update that this winter I've been trying to make soup at least once a week and take new photos. This Roasted Italian Sausage Soup with Garbanzos, Lentils, and Tomatoes has so many ingredients I love so it's not a surprise that I think it's tasty.
When I first made this I had lots of slow roasted tomatoes in the freezer, so I used those for some of the tomato flavor. This time I had to make the soup with just petite diced tomatoes in a can, but it was still really good. Luckily I have some basil growing in the kitchen window again; the pop of fresh basil flavor was really great in this. But even even without the fresh basil this is a lovely soup recipe; hope you'll try it if you get a cold wet spring day where soup sounds good!
This recipe is also a Public Service Announcement for cooks in the Southern Hemisphere, where summer is winding down and it's time to be focused on making slow roasted tomatoes. Tossing fresh garden-ripened tomatoes with olive oil and a few herbs and then slowly roasting them all day concentrates the tomato flavor in a wonderfully delicious way that reminds you of summer again when you eat them (even when you're in Utah and it's barely spring.) (Roasted Italian Sausage Soup with Garbanzos, Lentils, and Tomatoes was updated with better photos and step-by-step instructions, March 2014.)
Spray a small pan with non-stick spray or olive oil and lightly brush tomatoes with oil. Start sausage roasting at 400F/200C. When sausage has cooked about 20 minutes, turn over so they can brown on the other side. I roasted my sausage about 40 minutes total, but you could get away with a little shorter time.
While sausage roasts, heat oil in a heavy soup pot and saute onions until they're starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and spices and saute 2-3 minutes more. While the onions and other seasonings are cooking, rinse garbanzo beans and give them a few good mashes with a potato masher. Add the tomatoes, chicken stock, water, mashed garbanzos, and lentils to the soup pot and simmer 40-60 minutes on low, until the lentils are very soft.
When the sausage is cool enough to handle, cut in half lengthwise and cut into half-moon slices. When lentils are soft, add the sausage to the soup. Deglaze the roasting pan with 1 cup water and add that as well. (Blogger fail, forgot to take a photo of that. Look at the pan above and use your imagination!) When the soup has cooked 20-30 minutes with the sausage added, stir in the chopped basil and cook 2-3 minutes more. Serve hot and wait for compliments!

Roasted Italian Sausage Soup with Garbanzos, Lentils, and Tomatoes
Roasted Italian Sausage Soup with Garbanzos, Lentils, and Tomatoes is a tasty low-glycemic soup that's loaded with flavor!
- 1 pkg. (5 links) turkey Italian sausage (I like hot, but you can use mild sausage if you prefer)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 tsp. + 2 tsp. olive oil
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 2 tsp. ground fennel
- 1 T crushed garlic
- 1 can (14.5 oz.) petite diced tomatoes with juice
- 1 cup slow roasted tomatoes, finely chopped
(if you don't have roasted tomatoes, use another can of petite diced tomatoes with juice)
- 1 can (15 oz.) garbanzo beans (chickpeas) mashed slightly
(Can also use 1 1/2 cups freshly cooked garbanzos)
- 1/2 cup brown lentils
- 4 cups chicken stock or canned chicken broth
(two 14 oz. cans, plus a little water equals 4 cups)
- 4 cups water
- 3 T fresh chopped basil (you can also use frozen basil, the basil is probably optional but it does add a lot of good flavor)
- Preheat oven or toaster oven to 400F/200C.
- Lightly spray roasting pan with olive oil or non-stick spray, place sausages on pan, brush with a tiny bit of olive oil, and roast 30-40 minutes, until skins are nicely browned.
- When sausage has cooled slightly, cut into half lengthwise, then slice into half-moon slices.
- While sausage roasts, heat 2 tsp. olive oil in heavy soup pot and saute onions about 5 minutes, until softened and starting to color.
- Add oregano, fennel, and garlic and saute 2-3 minutes more.
- Add slow roasted tomatoes, diced canned tomatoes, chicken stock, water, garbanzo beans, and lentils.
- Simmer 40-60 minutes, until lentils are soft and starting to slightly break apart.
- Add sliced sausage to soup.
- Deglaze roasting pan with 1 cup water, scraping off all browned bits on the bottom of pan, and add to soup.
- Simmer 20-30 minutes more.
- Stir in fresh or frozen basil, (if using) and cook 2-3 minutes more.
- Serve hot.
Recipe created by Kalyn on a March day when it was cold outside and she didn't want to leave the house to buy groceries.
Low-Carb Diet / Low-Glycemic Diet / South Beach Diet Suggestions:
This Roasted Italian Sausage Soup with Garbanzos, Lentils, and Tomatoes is too high in carbs for traditional low-carb diet plans, but it's low-glycemic and using turkey Italian sausage, this soup would be a perfect meal for any phase of the South Beach Diet. Beans are a limited food for Phase One, so if you're doing Phase One I'd have a small bowl of soup with a nice green salad on the side.
