Ike this time,
it doesn't bother the Hummingbirds a bit.
We have so many of them this year,
they empty their feeders in a hurry.
And boy do they move fast.
Almost impossible to catch an image of them.
I had to really work on getting these..
They are so cute and tiny,
yet they have a temper,
and fight for their premises.
Sometimes it seems like it's more important
They fight and "yell" at each other,
it's very amusing to watch them.
Their beaks are about as long as half their body,
and very pointy too.
I would hate to be in their way
when they case each other!
Vi har massevis av Kolibrier i hagen for tiden.
De sjefer og sloss
for plassen sin ved matbordet,
og er fantastisk undeholdende.
Det er vanskelig å få tatt bilder av de,
da de beveger seg utrolig fort.
Når de går inn for landing,
henger de helt stille i luften.
Vingene beveger seg så fort
at en nesten ikke kan se dem.

If you know me well, heck if you know me at all, then you know I <3 spicy and I <3 pickled. Pickled okra is one of my favorites. So as soon as I started canning a few years ago, pickled okra was first on the list. I've been using this recipe ever since then, and I'm super excited to share it with you today, because it's the bomb.com.
Spicy Pickled Okra (an evolving version of a recipe from Emeril Lagasse from 2001 on Food Network)
– fresh baby okra (2 to 3 inch pods are best)
– 1 quart white vinegar
– 6 tablespoons kosher salt
– 8 peeled garlic cloves
– 16 fresh hot peppers
– 1/3 cup whole mustard seeds
– 1/3 cup whole dill seeds
Note: sanitize your jars and lids in a dishwasher ahead of time. Keep them hot in the dishwasher, or keep them warm in the microwave until you're ready to pack and fill them.
Another note: Before you start anything, start heating up your canning/processing pot to boiling. It takes about 30 minutes for me.
Wash okra under cold running water and trim the stems if necessary. Soak okra in ice water for 1 hour, then drain and pat dry. Divide the okra between sanitized pint jars and pack them, first as full as possible cap side down, then fill in with okra cap side up. Evenly divide the garlic cloves, peppers, mustard and dill seed between your packed jars.
In a large pot, bring vinegar and salt to a rolling boil. Ladle the hot vinegar mixture over the packed jars, covering okra by at least 1/4 inch and leaving 1/2 inch of head space. Tap the jars or use a chopstick to jiggle the okra around to make sure you get all the bubbles out of them. Wipe the rims clean, screw the jar lids on, and process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes. Remove to a towel, and the jars will seal and pop as they cool down. Let them sit until they're room temperature, and do your best to wait four whole weeks before eating any of them.
We bought this okra at Harvest Moon last weekend. But we did have TWO whole okra pods from our garden that got included in one of the jars! Ha.
We grew these tabasco peppers from peppers my aunt gave me. They are the first ones we've picked! Should be plenty more where that came from. We've had better luck in the pepper department than we have in the okra department.
The Before: Packed jars full of beautiful okra (above) and the After: delicious pickled okra (below).
Author's recommendation: these are TDF in a bloody mary…
And on that note, happy Friday!

The Garden of Chloe: Indie movie of a triad's homecoming is in the works
Another poly crowdfunding project is about to happen, following the ones for The Ethical Slut webseries, Lutine: Le Film, and the books More Than Two and Stories for Unique Families.
This one will be for Johnny Robinson's feature-length movie The Garden of Chloe, "a coming-out story about a middle-aged woman in a long-term V triad," Robinson says. He continues,
Here's the story:
Chloe returns with her two male companions to her home town to take a teaching job and reunite with her family and community. She fears these new bonds are at risk as she becomes more and more cornered into revealing the true nature of her closeted relationships.
In the first half of the film we discover her daily life through the eyes of her sister Ginny. Ginny struggles to wrap her head around how honesty can replace jealousy and love does not diminish when it is shared.
Eventually Chloe finds that the avoidance of public reprisal is too costly to her own authenticity.
This is a micro budget feature-length drama to be shot this spring in central Illinois. This movie needs interest and support! Check out the web page, see the short related videos and if you like it please help me spread the word.
Here's the movie's website, with lots of pix, background material, and several videos, including discussions with the actors about their characters and this prequel:
On watching this, I had some doubts about the acting and the slow pace. Robinson responded,
I agree that there was some overacting in "Chloe Returns"; these are theatre actors and they need to be dialed back for film. This was our first time working together and they'll get the hang of the medium as we move forward. It was a moody nostalgic piece. We will shoot the actual movie in March, April and May.
|Producer/director Johnny Robinson (left) with Michael David Myers and Kelly Lynn Hogan (Martin and Chloe).
Also on the website is Robinson's representative list of ménages à trois in the movies, where he notes that they generally fall into three inadequate tropes:
About modern polyamory, he writes, "I believe it has never occurred in the movies, not the way I am depicting it. Chloe's ménage à trois is a day to day life. It doesn't begin or end in the movie, it is never really threatened, it is simply there. The conflict in the movie is caused by the larger society's reaction to it, and the challenge that creates for Chloe.
1) The triad as a solution to a love triangle. In this category, the polygamy is only introduced in the last 10 minutes of the film as a happily-every-after. It is never fully described.
2) The threesome as a soft-focus sexual fantasy come true. This reckless adventure can't endure and is usually destructive. There are many movies in this category.
3) A conflicted compromise that endures throughout life, in spite of the participants' efforts to resist it.
"I don't tell people the movie is about a triad. I say it is about the challenge of being yourself when the outside world resists. I normalize the triad by making it a given."

The crowdfunding project is not yet announced, but watch for it soon.

I wasn't really going to plug-in this evening. "Plug-in" = do anything online or anything that requires full presence.
Mainly because I had a doctor's appointment this afternoon that shook me a bit. (Which is okay – I asked for straightforward, and I got it *and* he also said 'don't project, we're going to do this one appointment, one week at a time', which is guidance that speaks right to my heart, for which I'm grateful). I'll sleep on it and wake centered and open again, and keep on 'keeping on'.
For this evening, though, I needed to not process it or do anything other than simply be.
It's odd because I've been practicing presence for so long, and I trust the process of unfolding very much so, that being told to 'not project' is not something that tends to happen to me. So, I'm doing my best to not project. Which meant I made soup (because I love the taste of layered flavors and it took my attention for a while to prep and cook) and I watched frivolous TV and I was going to go to bed right now, but thought I'd check in and write (because it lights my heart and I love it, so I don't count it as 'plugged in'.)
I love today's nudge from Effy Wild's "Let's Blog Along in September" Adventure "Write about someone who has had a positive influence on you. Link to them, if they have an online presence. Boost their signal."
I love to listen to stories! Offline, making eye contact and being able to feel into a person's energy and the words they are sharing as well as online, reading status updates, browsing through Instagram and reading blogs and feeling the energy in the words and photos.
Whenever someone takes the time to share their presence, energy, thoughts, beliefs, values, ideas via words, I learn and am often inspired and/or encouraged by what they share. (and I take the time to tell them, because they won't know they are making a difference unless it's expressed to them!)
Many, many people have a positive influence on me (especially because my world is full of people who love life and are compassionate and caring and want to contribute to the 'goodness' in this world).
I will share a few links to online friends and peers whose presence enriches my life. (I could really fill a huge book with gratitude and links – lots of what you've seen here on my site, in my ecourses and ebooks has been collaborative because I love to share the wisdom of people with different specialties than I…. with everyone who has access to my work).
I'll start with something that surprises me greatly, that I've mentioned before. I've been in a mastermind with two other people for a few years. It surprises me because while I hadn't been in a mastermind before that lasted longer than a few months, when I happened to see a tweet from an artist I wasn't familiar with, asking if anyone would be interested in participating, I said "yes"!
….and here we are a few years later. We share our lists with each other each and every day!! – which is amazing, I think. On my list, I add things like 'practice unfolding' (so it's an open list and I fill it in with what I've done as the day unfolds), 'drink water' (on days that I think I need reminding) and doctor's appointments as well as business items.
Over the years, we've each had major life changes, moments where we might have crawled into the covers and stayed there but we sent our lists sharing that, and we've all supported and encouraged and celebrated with one another. I'd never met either in person, but we all know each other really well. It's been a life-changing practice.
They are both brilliant artists, and I invite you to check out their websites:
Lisa Call – Textile Paintings and Jody MacDonald – Visual Artist.
Someone I've mentioned before, quite a few times, who is a soul sister friend that I first connected with online, then spent lots of time with offline – at a conference, then visited with at her house and hosted her on my boat (when I lived aboard) – is Evita Ochel – Consciousness Expansion Teacher.
When I first began blogging many moons ago, I felt like I was 'different' from the other bloggers, because I was very heart-centered and woo, and energy (as far as intention and quality and type) matters to me tremendously. I wanted to create a sacred container of a space on the interwebs and no one talked about online space in that way. Evita encouraged (and still encourages) me to listen to my heart and remain true to it.
Evita is my 'go to' source for nutrition, whole-body wellness, inspiration to be as fully present as possible. I highly recommend her book "Healing and Prevention Through Nutrition" and taking time to browse through her YouTube channel and the myriad of classes she offers via her site.
Another soul sister friend that I admire and am inspired by is Jenny Griffin with The Power of Change. We haven't met in person, but we Skype pretty consistently and we've talked about everything possible and seem to lead parallel lives (in theme, not steps). She has done incredible work with the dynamic between empaths and narcissists and I highly recommend that you check out her page (there are links to free videos, and also paid ecourses). She is an intuitive, like I am, and we often gift each other readings; her readings are accurate, thorough and insightful.
I could fill volumes listing soul sister friends, with online links. And, listing names of soul sister friends without online links.
Soul connections matter tremendously to me; it's been a priority for me my entire life to engage in genuine connections, that feel amazing to be in, and that support the healing/growth/joy for all involved. So, it feels odd to list a few names, because many of my friends read my blog and I'm going to hope they all feel that they matter to me, even though they aren't listed here.
Dear Reader: If there is someone who inspires you that has an online presence, I invite you to share a link to their site (so we can all go check it out). And, I invite you to go a step further and send them an email or message telling them that they inspire you and sharing an example of how.
Much peace and abundant love,

CBS Los Angeles, November 12, 2013
MOUNT WASHINGTON (CBSLA.com) — The Friends of the Southwest Museum Coalition on Tuesday protested the management of a local American Indian museum.
Supporters claims the Autry National Center has stiffed taxpayers by
spending millions of dollars on the Southwest Museum while giving
taxpayers very little in return for their generous investment.
The Autry acquired the museum, along with its collection of Native American artifacts, in 2003.
Supporters say the museum is hardly open, and the Autry has not
delivered on its promise to restore the exhibit to its original state.

Ok, so if you're making yourself crazy, and think that you have to go all out for this Halloween party with exotic food and table-scapes. Well, I have to tell you.... you couldn't be more wrong. Here's a good example of easy and fabulous!
If you don't have time to plan a large menu, just do drinks and a dessert table, instead. (and if you're really pressed for time, you can even buy the goodies already made.... then just decorate them yourself!)
Add a few spooky props, sparkly dishes, some candles and some spiderwebs. Dim the lights and wait for the guests to arrive!
Simply Spooktacular!

The FBI publicly admitted it has "no hard evidence" to connect Bin Laden to 9/11 (you can google that phrase if you don't believe me).
Most of the story of Bin Laden's involvement as told in the Report is based on Detainee Interrogation Reports.
The commissioners admit on page 146 they never met the alleged al Qaeda detainees, nor were they allowed to submit questions to them, nor were they allowed to question the alleged intelligence agents who allegedly interrogated the alleged detainees.
The most important details of the case are based on the alleged hearsay of tortured detainees ...
*What Really Happened
*Jewish Zionists
3- None of the alleged piloting hijackers knew how to fly very well, and not at all such a big plane with such maneuvers (according to their flight instructors).
4- Two planes allegedly hit the World Trade Center (WTC), yet three of the WTC buildings collapsed. WTC7, was not even mentioned in the official study, was never hit by a plane, or anything else, yet it crumbled to the ground in the same fashion as the towers.
5- There has been shown no proof that a plane hit the Pentagon, no pictures have been released. The hole in the pentagon was just big enough to have been made by a cruise missile, not a big commercial airplane.
6- In Shanksville, there was just a big hole in the ground. That is not what a plane-crash looks like.
7-Why was there that day so conveniently a Jewish crew filming a documentary on the other side of the river?
8- Why did they find a bag with all the passports of the terrorists ?

9/11 Coincidences
While serving as governor of Texas, George W. Bush met with high-level Al Qaeda leaders, hoping to get support to build a pipeline across Afghanistan. Four months into his presidency, he rewarded the Taliban by handing over $43 million in May 2001, only four months before the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
All airlines in the United States were grounded for two days after 9/11. Yet, on September 13, 2001, the White House authorized six Saudi jets to fly bin Laden family members from America to Saudi Arabia. The members of the bin Laden family were never questioned by United States authorities.
Judicial Watch called for George Herbert Bush to resign from the Carlyle Group, when it became known that Osama bin Laden was a major investor in the firm. (Judicial Watch, March 5, 2001) After the September 11 terrorist attacks, Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman said, "This conflict of interest has now turned into a scandal. The idea of President George W Bush's father, an ex-president himself, doing business with a company under investigation by the FBI in the terror attacks of September 11 is horrible. President Bush should not ask, but demand, that his father pull out of the Carlyle Group." (Judicial Watch, September 28, 2001)

Here is the evidence that proves it, and the questions and secrets that remain.
9/11:Total Proof That Bombs Were Planted In The Buildings!
was Missing from the Pentagon on the date of 09/10/2001 one day
before the World Trade Center attacks.
Video - President George Bush senior (Former Head of the CIA,) announcing the New World Order on September 11, 1991.
The Nazis made immediate arrests in the case - overwhelming evidence implicated a dim-witted Communist - and charged that the leftist parties were conspiring against the state: in the March 1933 elections held in the course of this purge the Nazis won for the first time a parliamentary majority.
When History Repeats Itself - Reichstag 911 promo
Bush was aimless before 9/11 and has revealed his cowardly and fearful personality ever since, as has Cheney. Neither of these men have shown the courage under fire that other wartime presidents displayed. Instead they went for the "low hanging fruit" by picking off Saddam rather than slogging it out to capture bin Laden. Both overestimated the strategic value of their military machine, and both have been surprised by the consequences and unable to adapt to new circumstances.
Bush is one of the worst politicians of the modern era. He has no ear for compromise, no sense that he cannot govern if the people have lost faith in his honesty, and no real interest in protecting the careers of his fellow Republicans. His narcissism is such that he doesn't care if he damages his party for generations.
It has been established "beyond a reasonable doubt" that on Feb. 27, 1933, a team of Hitler's commandos fanned out through the Reichstag building (the German parliament), using incendiary fluids to quickly touch off a massive blaze. Before the fire had died down, Hitler proclaimed that the outrage must have been the responsibility of the Communists.
Apparently, by and large, the German public believed Hitler was telling the truth: the Enabling Act was passed giving Hitler a dictator's powers - and in the general election a few days later, the National Socialists cemented their hold over the German government. Communist leaders stood trial, accused of participating in a vast conspiracy to destroy the Reichstag - and, by extension, the German people themselves.
Finally, a program was commenced against the Communists - which culminated years later, in WWII, with the German war against the Soviet Union which killed 25 million people.
Since 911, we are just starting to accumulate some of that same sense of perspective. We can now see quite clearly that war has been launched, first in Afghanistan and later in Iraq, and the attacks of 911 have been given as the justification.
Speaking about recent American casualties in Iraq, President Bush stated on Nov. 4, 2003: "We are at war, and it is essential that the people of America not forget the lessons of September 11, 2001."
This in spite of the fact that no credible evidence has emerged linking 911 to Iraq. So here we have the first analogy to the Reichstag Fire: a campaign to scapegoat an entire population (in this case, Middle Eastern Islamics) for the purported actions of a few, and along with that, an aggressive campaign of warfare.
It is hard to believe that they missed ....
- A jump in UAL put options 90 times (not 90 percent) above normal between Sept. 6 and Sept.10, and 285 times higher than average on the Thursday before the attack. [CBS News, Sept. 26]
- A jump in American Airlines put options 60 times (not 60 percent) above normal on the day before the attacks. [CBS News, Sept. 26]
- No similar trading occurred on any other airlines. [Bloomberg Business Report, the Institute for Counterterrorism (ICT), Herzliyya, Israel citing data from the CBO.]
ABC World News reported on Sept. 20, "Jonathan Winer, an ABC News consultant said, 'it's absolutely unprecedented to see cases of insider trading covering the entire world from Japan, to the U.S., to North America, to Europe."
How much money was involved? Andreas von Bulow, a former member of the German Parliament responsible for oversight of Germany's intelligence services estimated the worldwide amount at $15 billion, according to Tagesspiegel on January. 13.
Not a single U.S. or foreign investigative agency has announced any arrests or developments in the investigation of these trades, the most telling evidence of foreknowledge of the attacks. This, in spite of the fact that former Security and Exchange Commission enforcement chief William McLucas told Bloomberg News that regulators would "certainly be able to track down every trade."
The trading in United Airlines stock -- one of the most glaring clues - was placed through the firm Deutsche Bank/Alex Brown, which was headed until 1998 by the man who is now the executive director of the CIA, A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard.
Let's start with what is perhaps the only incontrovertible evidence in the case our own observations, as witnesses, of what played out that day on live television.
Tens of millions of people across the country witnessed what happened, and had the images of that day seared into their memory. But what we want to focus on here is what we didn't see happen that day, because some of the most compelling evidence lies, strangely enough, in what no one saw happen that day.
No one, for example, saw any defensive measures taken during the entire time that the lengthy spectacle played out. None whatsoever.
No one saw any jets scrambled to intercept any of the hijacked aircraft, though their locations and flight-paths were known and there was more than ample time for a military response. No one saw any jets scrambled to secure the airspace over Washington, though some of the hijacked flights were known to be headed that way, and interceptors were sitting on the tarmac just minutes away from likely targets.
And strangely enough, no one saw or heard any demands by television talking-heads for the military to respond in some capacity, or any questioning of why no response had yet materialized. Not after the first WTC tower was hit. Not after the second WTC tower was hit. Not during the agonizingly long interval before the Pentagon was hit. Not even after the Pentagon was hit.
In the days immediately following 911, at the same time as the Administration was maintaining that it was totally surprised by the attacks - they also maintained with absolute confidence, that the attacks could only have been the work of Bin Laden and Al Qaida. The fact is, the attacks certainly could not have been a surprise, at least in the sense that US intelligence agencies were fully informed of the plot and the main characters, by 1995.
As the team of hijackers was assembled, we learn still more intriguing facts. The terrorists were largely recruited into the Al Qaida fold by two preachers, Abu Hamza in London and Mohammed Haydar Zammar in Hamburg. Kupferberg says:
- the reality is this with a population in excess of one billion adherents, and a geographic span that stretches from the West African Straits of Gibraltar to the far east of Asia, the Muslim World apparently was not up to the task of furnishing the most hardcore, sophisticated operative cells of al-Qaida.
Contrary to popular wisdom, the inferno of 9/11 was not conceived in fetid slums like Gaza, where deprivation and bitterness has stoked inter-generational hatred of Westerners and Jews. Rather, the peculiarly sophisticated strain of Muslim terror that has been branded as al-Qaida was largely incubated among an insular network in the U.K. and the E.U., where a conveniently incriminating trail could be tracked and showcased as definitive proof of the authorship for 9/11.
Again we are reminded of the Reichstag fire, where a young Dutchman directly took the rap, while a much broader population of European and Russian Communists were scape-goated.
Once the hijackers were drawn into the Al Qaida fold, they showed a most fascinating habit of holding meetings in swank hotels, within a matter of days of counter-terror meetings in those same hotels attended by the likes of FBI officials Robert Mueller and John O'Neill.
Then they came to the US for flight training. Now, these terrorists were not the sort of young men who normally would have been able to obtain visas to come to the US under any circumstances.
Unemployed, with incomplete educations - without some inside connections as well, these are the sorts of people (and there are millions if not billions like them) who simply cannot gain legal entry into the United States. Yet even with well-known connections to terrorist organizations in some cases, the hijackers sailed cleanly through the system.
Were the 911 terrorists the actual perpetrators of the crimes of 911 (regardless of how they might have been helped along in their destructive quest, by the US government) or were they in fact nothing but patsies, bit-part actors in a drama where the true perpetrators of the crime were hidden behind the scenes?

Hot 100 2011 - Victoria Gandit Lelandais
Victoria loves to surround herself with all things pleasurable, whether it's within her role as brand ambassador for Abu Dhabi's hottest bakery Maison Sucre or while enjoying local art, the Parisian beauty lives by her motto 'eat, pray, love'.
A graduate from Sorbonne University, Victoria has been lucky enough to work for the likes of Yvon Lambert Gallery in Paris, but it's the UAE art scene that rocks her world. "I've worked with amazing art specialists at Christie's, The Third Line and Hunar Gallery and I fallen in love with Middle Eastern art. I want to eventually specialise in it."
As with all culturalists, comes a love of great food and for that very reason, Victoria found herself befriending the owners of Maison Sucre. "I simply adore tasting, recommending and contributing my French flair to their desserts, cupcakes, macaroons and tartes. One of my most defining moments in this country has been seeing them successfully launch their bakery after months of hard work. It showed me anything is possible, as long as you have integrity and passion for what you do. Vincent Van Gogh was right when he said, 'Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.'"

Cary News
STEM programs could fill empty seats in Cary schools
Next year's East Cary Middle School students will help university researchers track the mysterious origins of a gecko that calls the local campus home. Administrators hope the program will draw students to science, and parents to the under-enrolled school.
The middle school, along with Weatherstone Elementary in Cary, is among four set to join Wake County's "Science, Technology, Engineering and Math" program in the coming year. A major factor in the county's assignment of the new program, officials said, was that the schools fill relatively few of their seats.
East Cary Middle School was the fourth most-under-enrolled middle school in the county, using only 63 percent of its capacity in the 2010-11 school year, while Weatherstone at 72 percent was among the least-utilized elementary schools. Average enrollment for lower schools is 85 to 90 percent.
"We've had just fantastic experiences, and yet it doesn't seem to be something that other people are interested in attending," said Leslie Blake, mother of a rising second-grader and kindergartener at Weatherstone.
She and other parents hope the schools can break the trend with the new offerings. In their first year with the STEM program, East Cary and Weatherstone will have use of a technology-focused staffer, training for teachers and 30 iPads per grade, with a first-year startup cost of about $129,000 per school. The program, said East Cary principal Kerry Chisnall, will give the school a new paradigm.
"Of course, these days we're so focused on student achievement, and ensuring our students are successful on standardized testing," he said. "With STEM, your focus also has to be on producing students that are ready for the workforce."
In context
To prepare for real-world jobs, teachers will try to put the sciences in real-world contexts. At East Cary Middle School, the 40-acre campus itself will become a laboratory. The marshy land of the year-round school is home to Mediterranean geckos, a horny skinned, bulge-eyed reptile that's relatively rare here.
"The hypothesis is that they escaped from a science lab, several years ago, perhaps several decades ago," principal Chisnall said. "We're going to allow students to collaborate with (N.C. State University) researchers to see why they have flourished, and how the species is affecting the environment around them."
The county is expanding its STEM curriculum as budgets allow and hopes to reach almost all of its schools eventually, according to assistant superintendent Sylvia Wilkins. But with just 24 schools in the program, the designation is rare for now.
The program, Chisnall hopes, will be a magnet for parents, who this year gained much greater power to choose their students' schools.
Enrollment quandary
There are no clear-cut reasons to explain Weatherstone and East Cary Middle's under-enrollment, but it's clear the schools are fighting a few tides..
Weatherstone's student count dropped by 200 between the 2009-10 and 2010-11 school years, bringing it from full capacity to significant underutilization. PTA President Beth Satterfield attributes the change to additional competition from private and public schools alike, plus a slowdown in the real estate market.
East Cary Middle, meanwhile, has grown its enrollment over the last few years, but hasn't kept up with the extra capacity that came with its conversion to a year-round school. The school can fit up to 1,300 students, and probably needs at least 850 to operate efficiently. Its current enrollment is about 780, Chisnall said.
"As principal, I feel compelled to do a much better job of communicating to the community how great our school is," said the new principal. "This is a bit of a hidden treasure."
The school's STEM designation came too late to sway parents for next year, but the school already is seeing better numbers, he said. That's a relief for parents and students, because declining numbers can result in transfers of well-loved teachers.
At Weatherstone, the PTA is setting aside more money for Internet-enabled televisions and brainstorming ideas for the STEM curriculum, which the school will flesh out in the coming year.
"Before, we just had that traditional curriculum, and that's not as attractive to some people," said Satterfield, the PTA president. "STEM gives us some structure to do some really great things, some of which we might have been doing already. It makes us more marketable."

One of the main lessons learnt from TB history is that TB control works better when based on a strategic combination of socioeconomic and public heath interventions. This is confirmed by contemporary surveillance data and ecological studies suggesting that changes in TB incidence is still more strongly correlated to socioeconomic indicators, rather than the performance of TB control programs, based on case finding and treatment [Dye et al, 2009; Oxlade et al, 2009].
Progress towards TB elimination depends on our capacity to address the social determinants of TB and in particular to conjugate "[…] both public health interventions to tackle specific TB risk factors and high level political decisions to reduce poverty and promote social protection, education and empowerment" [Lonnroth et al, 2010]. However, practical ideas for action are still scarce.
As part of the strategy to contribute towards and generate knowledge on the social epidemiology of TB and promote innovative ideas to impact the social determinants of TB we have developed this website. On this portal you will find research data, literature, information about events, existing projects and protocols for new studies as they become available.

Raven Grimassi
|This article relies too much on references to primary sources. (November 2011)
|Raven Grimassi
|Occultism, Stregheria, Neopaganism, Wicca
|Notable works
|Witchcraft: A Mystery Tradition
Raven Grimassi (born 1951) is an Italian-American author of 17 books, and is a Pagan scholar with over 40 years of research and study in the genre of Wicca, Stregheria, Witchcraft and Neo-Paganism. Under the pen name of "Grimassi" he popularized Stregheria, the religious practice of witchcraft with roots in Italy. Grimassi presented this material as a Neo-Pagan version through his books.
Grimassi became involved with Wicca in 1969. He created his own system of witchcraft known as the "Aridian Tradition" ten years later, publishing it in print beginning in 1981. He is currently the directing elder of the Ash, Birch and Willow tradition, and co-director of the Fellowship of the Pentacle, a Mystery School tradition of pre-Christian European beliefs and traditions."Fellowship of the Pentacle". In 1994, the new age publisher Llewellyn Publications accepted his manuscript for Ways of the Strega, which was reprinted the following year as Italian Witchcraft: The Old Religion of Southern Europe .
Reports that Grimassi claims to belong to a "family tradition" of religious witchcraft has opened him to criticism[1].
Professor Sabina Magliocco, a critic of some of Grimassi's claims, however points out that "Grimassi never claims to be reproducing exactly what was practiced by Italian immigrants to North America; he admits Italian-American immigrants "have adapted a few Wiccan elements into their ways"[2]. After personally meeting Grimassi, Professor Magliocco writes in her letter to the Pomegranate Reader's Forum:
I had the pleasure of meeting Raven Grimassi during the summer of 2001, unfortunately after the final draft of my article had already been submitted to The Pom. He was very gracious and helpful to me. From information he revealed during our interview, I can say with reasonable certainty that I believe him to have been initiated into a domestic tradition of folk magic and healing such as I describe in my article.[3]
Grimassi won "Book of the Year" and "First Place - Spirituality Book" from the Coalition of Visionary Retailers in 1998 for his book The Wiccan Mysteries, and his book the Encyclopedia of Wicca & Witchcraft was also awarded "Best Non-Fiction".
His publisher Weiser Books, produced the author's biography, Horns of Honor.

Miami Heat
LeBron James' return to Miami to face Heat will make for some great holiday drama
They still paper the walls inside AmericanAirlines Arena with images of LeBron James.
When he returns to Miami on Thursday for the first time since leaving for Cleveland, James will find, aesthetically, an arena that hasn't changed much without him.
When James left Cleveland for Miami, Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert had every shred of James' memory scrubbed from Quicken Loans Arena. That didn't happen on Biscayne Boulevard, though, when James decided to return home.
"It's not as if we're trying to deny what happened the last four years," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "If you look around the arena there is still a celebration of what we were able to accomplish in those four years. I have not taken down pictures in my own office."
Reminders of James' time in Miami can be found throughout the arena's bowl, but also deep inside the inner sanctum where only players, coaches and team personnel are allowed. In the corridor the franchise calls the "Hall of Champions," wallpaper of James' greatest moments are everywhere. The Heat's players walk past those pictures almost every day.
On Christmas Day, the Heat will walk past those pictures of James' Heat years once more, but waiting outside the Hall of Champions will be James in a Cavaliers jersey. Christmas is the NBA's marquee day for regular-season games, and the Heat in recent years has been featured on Dec.25 more often than not. These games always mean more to teams, but James' first game back in Miami makes for great holiday drama.
That sounds like fun and everything, but some of the players say they're not buying it.
"It isn't about LeBron, and it isn't about beating Cleveland because he left to go to Cleveland," Heat co-captain Udonis Haslem said. "It's about the Miami Heat against the Cleveland Cavaliers, and we want to win that game whether it was last year's Cleveland Cavaliers that won 25 games or whatever, or this year's Cleveland Cavaliers who everyone thinks is going to win it all.
"We got a game on Christmas, and we go out and play the game."
Lately, the games have been difficult.
The Heat (13-16) lost to the lowly Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday after leading by 23 points in the third quarter. The collapse was stunning, but no more revealing than the Heat's slow decay at home since the first week of the season. Miami is 5-10 at home. Last season, the team finished 32-9 in Miami.
"It has been mentally challenging for this team," Dwyane Wade said. "It is frustrating at times."
Wade returned to action Tuesday after missing one game with a sore right knee. He went 2 of 10 from the field in the second half against the Sixers, and the Heat struggled mightily as a team against Philadelphia's defense.
"We're trying to get to our best every single night," Spoelstra said. "We're trying to get to some level of consistency, where we have had a lot of inconsistency with guys in and out of the lineup. So, right now, we're in a mode where we're trying to hold the fort and push forward. Forge ahead."
The loss to the 76ers was the Heat's ninth in 11 games at AmericanAirlines Arena, and finding consistency will be difficult against James and the Cavaliers. Spoelstra has used a makeshift starting lineup featuring Chris Andersen at center, with Chris Bosh and Josh McRoberts out of action. McRoberts had season-ending surgery on Monday, and Bosh is doubtful for Thursday's game. He has missed six in a row.
On Wednesday, Spoelstra said he "was not planning on" playing Bosh against the Cavaliers, but Christmas miracles have been known to happen … especially for national network games.
Bosh participated in the Heat's lengthy film session, which focused solely on the debacle against the Sixers and didn't touch on the Cavaliers. The Heat had 14 turnovers in the second half and shot 27 percent from the field.
"We constantly have to review, teach and own it before we move on," Spoelstra said. "We couldn't just brush this one under the rug. It was painful for all of us. It was a kick in the gut, but the only comfort we can find is with each other and get to work."
The Cavaliers will be without center Anderson Varejao, who tore his Achilles tendon in a game on Tuesday. Varejao was the Cavaliers' only true frontcourt power player, but the Heat is low on muscle inside as well. Andersen and Haslem are the team's only healthy bigs.
Thursday: Cavaliers at Heat
When/where: 5 p.m.; AmericanAirlines Arena.
TV/radio: ABC; WAXY 104.3 FM, 790 AM, and WAQI 710 AM (Spanish).
Series: Heat leads 55-39.
Noteworthy: The Heat has won 10 in a row against the Cavaliers. … Miami is 8-2 (.800) on Christmas, which is the second-highest winning percentage in the NBA. Portland is 14-3 (.824). … Dwyane Wade needs 13 points to move into fourth place on the all-time scoring list for Christmas games; he has 227. The top three: Kobe Bryant (383), Oscar Robison (377) and Shaquille O'Neal (272).

Cold and Flu
: Steer Clear of Cold Meds for Babies, FDA Advises
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 26, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Most babies and young children don't need medicines if they have a cold, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration says.
Over-the-counter (OTC) cold and cough medicine should not be given to children younger than 2 because they could cause serious and potentially deadly side effects, the agency warned.
American adults average about three colds a year, but children get them more often. When children get a cold, parents might want to give them pain relievers, decongestants and other medicines, but often the best approach is rest and care, the FDA said in a news release.
"A cold is self-limited, and patients will get better on their own in a week or two without any need for medications. For older children, some OTC medicines can help relieve the symptoms -- but won't change the natural course of the cold or make it go away faster," Dr. Amy Taylor, a medical officer in FDA's Division of Pediatric and Maternal Health, said in the news release.
Antibiotics are useless because they treat bacterial infections, while colds are usually caused by viruses.
Coughs are a normal symptom of a cold and actually provide some benefits, Taylor noted.
"Coughs help the body clear the mucus out of the airway and protect the lungs; so you don't want to suppress all coughs," she said.
Non-drug treatments to ease coughs in children with colds include giving them plenty of fluids, especially warm drinks to soothe the throat.
While most children with colds do not need to see a doctor, Taylor said parents should call the doctor if they see any of these symptoms:
A fever in an infant aged 2 months or younger, or a fever of 102 Fahrenheit or higher at any age.
Signs of breathing problems, including nostrils widening with each breath, wheezing, fast breathing or the ribs showing with each breath.
Blue lips, ear pain, not eating or drinking, signs of dehydration.
Excessive crankiness or sleepiness, a cough that lasts for more than three weeks, or worsening condition.
"You have to know your child," Taylor said. "With small infants, fever is a major concern, and you need medical advice. If you are worried about your child's symptoms, at any age, call your pediatrician for advice."

LaCie D2 is a Hard Drive caddy that can hold up to 10GB drives – with 6 and 8 TB models also available. The D2 also allows for daisy-chaining other USB-C devices, such as other D2 drives.

Lance also mentions the D2 will include Iron Wolf Pro, a 5 year protective warranty for NAS drives. And Seagate will protect the 10 TB drive in this plan.
The D2 will start at $429 and available in the coming months.

This week we're joined by avid women's cycling fans Pat McQuaid and Brian Cookson (or Dan's rather terrible impression of them). We talk great racing, especially at the Lotto-Belisol Belgium Tour. We take a brief wander down nostalgia lane where Sarah tells Dan how awesome Australia is, and Dan reminds Sarah that every animal in Australia is trying to kill you. Somewhere in there we get sidetracked into a discussion of the weirdest/creepiest search terms people have used to find our website (turns out a lot of people are searching for cycling specific porn) which leads us to ponder a new business idea (not really). In non-silly stuff we also take some time to talk about the main health stories of the week, and how we've been inspired by particular riders. It's a cracker of an episode, well worth the price of admission (it's free!). ( 1:10:21 MIN / 67.53 MB)
Click here and listen to all the awesome stream like magic from your computer!
Go here if you'd like to buy every episode for the one-time only price of FREE from the iTunes podcast store thingy.
Things we talked about this week
This week's racing
The Lotto-Belisol Belgium Tour
- The race in videos and links
- We didn't talk about it, but Sarah REALLY liked this blog about the race from Canadian cyclist Anika Todd – it was her first ever European race, and she tells the story so well.
- Reports in Dutch from Rabobank-Liv/Giant and in English from Wiggle Honda
- Photos by Anton Vos on CorVos – Stage 3, Stage 4 and Stage 5
- The only video we've seen – found by the lovely @Clo_sr, one of the brains behind the excellent French women's cycling site, Velonova
Sam Miranda Tour of the King Valley
- The great videos from Cycling Austalia – and a highlights package will be shown on Aussie tv channel SBS1 on Sunday September 1 at 4:30pm – 5:00pm and Monday September 2 5:30pm – 6:00pm
2014 Transfers
Rider health
- Gillian Carleton's blog about her depression and mental health issues, on Bicycling.com. We really admire her for being so open, and hope she recovers well, to come back stronger.
We're also really pleased she's had so much support from Specialized-lululemon – they are such a great team for things like that – we remember Ina-Yoko Teutenberg's interview on Peloton magazine earlier in the year, where she spoke about her depression issues, and how the team put her full recovery from her head injuries above everything else.
- We're thinking of Australian rider Carla Ryan, who has been diagnosed with a parasite infection, causing huge problems for her season. Hope everything improves for her.
- Ottilie Quince recently won the World Transplant Games ITT and Road Race for the second consecutive time, and immediately had to have an operation on her 1 kidney – here's her blog about it. We'd urge you to join your organ donation registry, if you haven't already.
Emma Johansson has taken over from Marianne Vos at the top of the UCI rankings. This is the first time Vos hasn't been No. 1 for 6 years!
Speaking of Vos, Sarah's being driven to distraction, wondering how you can buy one of the 300 limited edition Marianne Vos Envie Liv kits (or one of the 100 Envie Advanced Limited edition Vos bikes, for that matter. They were unveiled at a Liv/Giant launch event, and you can see them both in this video, but it's a mystery how she'd get her hands on one (you can find out about the non-limited-edition Envie Advanced here)
It's always nice to see cycling teams expanding, and we enjoyed the Epic Cycles-Scott Contessa manifesto and aims for 2014. If British-based riders at Cat 2 level and above want to get involved and ride for them next year, there's still time to send in a rider CV – follow that link.
Former track World Champion Kate Bates has an article about who she thinks might be in the Australian team for the World Championships – it's always fun playing "build a team", which of us will be right?
If you, like Sarah, are a fan of Downhill star Rachel Atherton, and you missed her and her brother Gee on The Cycle Show this week, it's available on the ITV Player for a month (may be geo-restricted to the UK) (Dan really felt for Gee when he saw this video of Gee's crash at Mont-Sainte-Anne training – warning, man issues!)
We didn't see this before we 'casted this week, but Brian Cookson has just published another blog, talking about his support for women's cycling. Of course we support this, but we still would like to see some concrete principles. (You can't link to individual posts, so look for the blog of 28/08/13 on his site)
Upcoming racing
The 2013 MTB World Championships, 28th August-1st September
- Sarah's guide to following the competitions
- Watch out for Aussie BMX World Champion, Caroline Buchanan, as she races the downhill as part of her quest to compete in three World Champs disciplines this year.
GP de Plouay World Cup, 31st August
- It'll be televised on France 3 tv, and may or may not be streamed online… in previous years it has been. Here's the tv guide – and there'll be a livethread on Podium Café – head to the women's section on Saturday, and if people find streams, they'll share them there. We don't know what the Plouay tv page is, but it might be worth checking – and Sarah will have a "how to follow" guide later.
- As with all French races, check out VeloNova and Le Blog de Gwéna – and there are previews on Les Déesses de la Route and VeloRooms and to follow on VeloFocus
Tour de l'Ardèche, 2nd-9th September
- Preview on Les Déesses, and to follow on VeloFocus – and of course, information from Gwéna and VeloNova.
Boels Ladies Tour, 3rd-8th September
- Previews to come – but there's an excellent race website and twitter.

The Nissen Hut
By 2000 it was clear that additional space was required for the growing number of exhibits. We also realised that any additional building had to be in keeping with this important heritage site. It was decided that a Nissen Hut would fit the bill admirably. After some searching and a fortuitous discovery one was acquired erected and fitted out, and by 2004 we had the extra room we needed. (See Restoring the Nissen Hut).
The Nissen Hut was designed in 1916 and patented that year in the UK by Major Peter Norman Nissen of the Royal Engineers. Around 100,000 were produced in World War One to a design which was required to be economical and portable. They were used for a wide variety of purposes from accommodation to bomb stores and even churches.
Our particular Nissen Hut was originally at Deopham Airfield but had since been moved to Little Elligham where amongst other uses it had spent 30 years of its life as a pigsty!
This iconic wartime building now sits proudly to the rear of the Control Tower, sympathetically in keeping with its surroundings.

So what's the big idea Edmonton?
The City of Edmonton has been hard at work on many big ideas for Downtown. Dedicated City staff have been bringing to life the 96 Street Armature, two new public parks, the Valley Line LRT, Rogers Place, and so much more. And if you've been Downtown recently, you know that there are even more big ideas that are taking shape than just the City of Edmonton projects.
Downtown Edmonton: The Next Five Years
Do you know what's coming up over the next five years? Below are many of the major public and private projects that will be completed. We don't mean to pump our own tires, but Edmonton, you're pretty impressive these days.

A note from Terri and Todd about this episode:
The Sandhills Region of Nebraska is an area we have talked about exploring for a couple of years. It's close to home and home to so many unique creatures that were 'new' to us! Many of them are hard to catch though and best left alone. Terri learned the hard way the first day we were in the area....when she experienced first hand how lizards will lose their tails to avoid predators...and blonds! The folks in Valentine, where we stayed, were very friendly and supportive. The trip was a huge success and we got even MORE than we expected. Including a flat tire! After a small delay we were on our way back to South Dakota. On the trip we were able to find something we had dreamed of finding for a long time....Ornate Box Turtles in their natural habitat in the wild! The Sandhills are a great place to visit and we will definitely return! We would love to go back and film something on the Sandhill Crane Migration!
Terri and Todd
Here are some photos from our journey!
On the way home, we stopped by the casino, and experienced the difference between Nebraska and South Dakota. Quite a difference, huh?
Here is Todd, excited to be back on HIS homeland. Notice the number next to him...is it some kind of 'sign'? I think so.
Here is Terri checking out her catch! Gotta admit, she is quick with a net! And look! It still has it's tail!

Ok there might have been days where I wished for case insensitive filenames as per dos/windows, but I have since learnt the errors of my way and embraced how case sensitive adds a new way for me to organise files by filenames.
BUT all this is gone in MacOS :/

annoyance at 'case-insensitiveness' of Mac terminal shell
Posted by Kevin at 11:15
3 comments:
I believe that case insensitivity is a "feature" of the MacOS file system, HFS Plus. You can enable case sensitivity on a volume when formatting it using Disk Utility.ReplyDelete
Actually it is worse than that - it depends on the file system and how it is configured. Some hard drives on a Mac will be case sensitive, the default is not.ReplyDelete
One of the things I like about the Mac is that they have been rigid about most stuff that it's 'predictable' which makes for an easier work laptop?ReplyDelete
for example, color calibration on mac is easier.
but having to think/work in BSD/Mac & Linux/Redhat/Ubuntu is quite troublesome!

The Messages of the Books
by Farrar, Frederic William•
Macmillan and Co. 1884
"My desire," says F. W. Farrar in the preface, is "to point out the general form, the peculiar characteristics, the special message of the Sacred Books one by one, because I had found by experience, both as a teacher and as a clergyman, that this method of studying each part of Scripture as a complete whole was mch less common than could be desired." In The Messages of the Books, Farrar sets out to apply this book-by-book method to the New Testament. He looks at the 27 books of the New Testament one by one, giving preference to the overall structure and message of each book and to any critical issues that bear on the book as a whole. The book also includes a chapter that looks at the nature of the Gospels, a chapter that looks at the nature of the epistle as it is used in the New Testament, and a chapter that looks at specifically at St. Paul's epistles as a group.
The Messages of the Books is linked to your Logos library. Scripture references appear on mouseover. Greek references link to the language tools in your library. Compare this work with other New Testament commentaries side by side. Every word is indexed, allowing you to get near-instant search results.
Key Features
- A full chapter devoted to each book in the New Testament
- Historical background for each book
- Investigation into possible audiences
- Examination of the epistle as a literary form
- Analysis of key themes and ideas
Product Details
- Title: The Messages of the Books
