Salted Toffee Cherry Tomatoes
Liven up your summer drinks with this salty & sweet apéritif – adds fun to a centre-piece too!
Liven up your summer drinks with this salty & sweet apéritif – adds fun to a centre-piece too!
Who can believe that the year has just about made a wrap? Before it ties up with a silver bow on Hogmany, let me share some starter ideas to serve with your savoury macarons.
Not all of us are into savoury macarons such as chocolate and fois gras as an apéritif (me included!) but have you tried any of the savoury macaron recipes from the book's 'Mad Macs' chapter yet? Many of them are HOT and SPICY, which makes an interesting tasting sensation: the sweetness of the macaron helps put out the fire after the first couple of seconds!
Gourmet meals can be given that extra touch of chic with a horseradish and beetroot macaron (recipe on page 103). Here I've served it with Salar Scottish smoked salmon with an apple and horseradish sauce. Our previous family visit to Corsica included a surprising gourmet treat consisting of a Terre et Mer simple yet sophisticated starter: it may look and sound unusual but, believe me, the mix of smoked salmon with smoky charcuterie dried hams is amazing! The chiogga beetroot and spicy macaron adds that je ne sais quoi.
Mini tikka curry macarons are also a spicy surprise on the side to warming soups, like this leek, pumpkin and ginger velouté.
Or why not try them with a mini amuse-bouche of parsnip, round carrot and coriander soup? Round carrots, or Parisian carrots are round, short and dumpy and have an even sweeter flavour than normal carrots.
Curry fans can add another touch of chilli spice under the mistletoe with the mini Thai curry macarons. Make them red or green, depending on your mood with a hint of coconut.
Thai green curry macarons can be a surprising addition to a starter of sweet potato, crab and thai herb croquettes, served with a thai-style mayonnaise to use up your egg yolks.
Or what about serving a mini mac with these light, gluten-free ginger, crab and coriander quiches?
Inspiration for this warming watercress soup came after a wee trip to the watercress beds in Normandy this summer. Serve with garden herb macarons (recipe on page 97 of the book).
Or surprise your guests with mini herb macarons as a side to this cherry tomato, wild strawberry and rocket salad, peut-être? For those lucky sun-kissed macaronivores in the Southern Hemisphere.
Or serve with a Bloody Mary macaron for a surprise with a slightly bigger punch?
It's time to wrap up presents but just a few festive starter recipe ideas to accompany the savoury macaron chapter in the book.
Are your macarons ready to party?
Check out the full index of bonus recipes to accompany the book, including many egg yolk recipes and desserts to serve with your sweet, gluten-free macaron treats.
Thank you for all your support, your lovely, motivating comments over the year here on le blog, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and for spreading the word about Mad About Macarons!
I know. It has been a bit silence radio here, as they say in France. I'm not going to moan but just to say I haven't forgotten about you, my sweet macaron friends.
Instead I've been going insane with recurring back problems since the summer. It's lovely to be told to do no housework, no lifting shopping, no gardening but sitting at the computer has been an even worse idea. After various diagnoses, I think I've finally found the right doctor and am happily cancelling surgery this month. It just goes to show that you need to ask around and, in this case, it's thanks to friends on Facebook!
Meanwhile our house improvement project is in full swing: anyone who follows me on Pinterest will see I'm having fun finding ideas, especially for my new office in the attic,
a place I can hide and nibble on my favourite chocolate so that I can work on the next exciting venture. If you have storage and design tips for the kitchen and pantry, I'm especially all ears: the pâtisserie moulds and other foodie odds and ends are taking over the asylum! I'll talk about this in another post. Why is it that so many other things are urgently needing repaired or replaced at the same time?
With mushroom season sprouting around Paris, you must try this dinky little mushroom cappuccino recipe. And, for all of you mad about macarons, enjoy it with a mini mushroom and truffle macaron. Delicious with a glass of chilled Jura white wine…like Vin Jaune, hmm.
As I gradually get straightened out from looking like a twisted Eiffel Tower, please do swing by and say bonjour via Instagram and via the usual social chatty buttons at the top. Meanwhile, I'll leave you with one of my favourite photos I took at this time 2 years ago, in case anyone missed it.
A few days ago, I fell in love with some dazzling upbeat music on the car radio. I had never heard it before. For a few seconds, I felt the trendiest Mum: the car speakers were put to the test and down zipped the car windows as I casually picked up my daughter from collège. Dude. As Julie approached the car she shuddered, begging for a speedy getaway. Mum? 'One Night in Bangkok'? But that's ancient! Where was I?
Granted, I was not a trendy teenager in the 80s; playing in orchestras and excited by Stravinsky, Brahms or Dvorak rather than discovering Murray Head from Chess in the Charts could be considered downright nerdish. Then again, when Shirley Manson's sister (that was cool) asked at choir practice if I'd been to see 'Grease', I remember the cringing confusion as I said I'd never been – which was a pity, especially since I adored moussaka.
Boom. That was it! After my daughter's 'boum' before Christmas, it was our turn. It may have been the end of the festivities of Christmas and New Year but last weekend we discoed back to the 80s. It was time catch up with friends, put on our red shoes and dance away the January blues. One girlfriend took it literally: I'm still in awe how she managed to wear her 20cm-heeled red sparkling Bowie shoes without keeling over. Another friend simply wrapped aluminium foil around his training shoes: great idea! My favourite gear in the 80s was the all-in-one jumpsuit but as it was difficult to pin down again (just as well), I found one quickly on the internet.
When my brother saw the party wig on Facebook, he thought I'd bought a dog. It wasn't a dog but whatever it was, it was on top of my head most of the evening and I can tell you that it was sizzling underneath. So sweltering, that I dared take it off later and reveal the soggy dishwater blonde mop underneath. By that time, with the dancing and sweet (why did I want to write that with an 'a'?) macarons served, who cared?
On the 80s food front, apparently microwave popcorn appeared in the USA but hey, we also wanted to serve up chic stuff. So out came my good old favourites with easy recipes to prepare in advance: macarons and mini chocolate-beetroot fondants. On the day: ginger & cardamom panna cottas with rhubarb compôte, plus a huge batch of caramel-orange knitted-looking chouquettes (mini sugared choux buns). We did serve up savouries, though. Try garlic snail toasts for starters, smoked duck and raspberry mini salads, Crab, Ginger & Coriander gluten-free quiches, Macsweens' Haggis balls with whisky diane sauce … and mini mad macs.
In the 80s, Mum and Dad went exotic with the latest Vespa curry mixes. So, some mini tikka mac'salas were a must to add some 80s pizzazz to hand around with drinks. In making the curry macs (recipe on p.100), I should practise what I preach and done what I suggest in the book: use a disposable piping bag for piping out the curry filling. Now just look what I did: here's what can happen with a potent curry filling mixing with a not-so-hot piping bag hooked up on the kitchen window (mac hook – it's handy for drying it quickly.) I completely forgot the fresh coriander for the curry macs, so instead augmented the chili dose; don't ask me why, but just as well they were tiny since they were hot, man!
My camera is not great. Unless you're a static macaron and taken in the daylight, a Canon G10 is no use for night time and parties. It's a crying shame there are no decent photos, since all 30 of us had so much fun dressing up and dancing. Then again, it's probably for the best that they're censored! If anyone knows me, I never have any New Year Resolutions but I'm putting in a quest for a new camera, just in case hubby ever reads this. I never bought these shoes near Place Vendôme – just gazed at them – if that helps my case.
This post is dedicated to MacTweets – as this month the MacAttack #26 Challenge was for Razzle Dazzle Macarons: featuring the Ostentatious with glitzy, dazzling and starry macarons. And being MacPassionate (love it, Deeba and Jamie), the party included One Night in Bangkok with some classic Madagascan Vanilla macarons – dusted with gold edible lustre to give it the in every golden cluster look from the Chess 80s musical.
For an unexpected twist to dark chocolate macarons, I infused some Paris-Bangkok tea from Mariages Frères in the chocolate. The colour was purely to match the packaging, but I'm sure that it had something to do with the tea's dazzling hints of red fruits, steamed pudding fragrances, and slight bubble gum tinges.
It perhaps wasn't Bangkok but it was One Night Near Paris and it rocked. I'm already planning the next one. We need more parties to chase away the winter blues, don't you think? Vive starry nights, great friendships, laughter and loads of fun!
Now I just need to keep a lower profile when picking up my daughter from school – unless you can give me some clues to the latest trendy numbers before the next move…
Happy New Year! Have you all had fun over the festive season? Survived the gargantuan meals? It's still not over for us yet. With Epiphany on Sunday 8th January, the traditional Galette des Rois are now in all the French pâtisseries and so it's time to taste all the different variations: plain, chocolate, candied fruits… Admittedly, I prefer to make my own – just to ensure there's the maximum amount of my favourite frangipane inside, sneak in some fancy trinkets, and change fillings such as this recipe for Praline and Pear Galette des Rois. But I've already talked about Epiphany on le blog.
It was good to be back in Scotland over the holidays with the family. Feeling the proudest auntie in the universe, I was introduced to another gorgeously smiling baby niece. Isn't it amazing how you can easily forget how small they are? Especially when it seems like yesterday when my two girls were born, who are now wee 'giants'! It's great to see the wee ones enjoying their food so much, too. No wonder, as Grandpa was serving up his amazing warm homemade bread and Arbroath Smokie Pâté just for starters…
On our return to France, I was listening to a French doctor on the radio, concerned for us all after over-indulging in rich, festive foods. His suggestion? Eat plenty of leeks. Apparently they help to clean out the gut. Trust the French to sound so poetic. With that, I headed straight to our local market and loaded up on leeks.
Are you ready for a tasty clean-out? Then this is the ideal soup to follow the Christmas – New Year extravaganza meals. The hardest part of making this soup is cutting up the pumpkin, but it's worth the effort since it's full of iron, zinc, fibre and carotene. Carotene is what we all need at this time of year to bring the glow back to our cheeks, and the ginger gives a great kick-start to 2012, as it's great for digestion, keeping colds at bay and virility (I keep meaning to ask hubby on that one.)
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 35 minutes
40g butter
4 leeks, sliced
800g pumpkin, roughly cut into cubes
1 tbsp freshly grated ginger (or 1 tsp ground ginger)
800ml chicken stock
1 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1. Melt the butter in a large pot then soften the leeks, ginger and pumpkin together. Sweat gently for about 5 minutes.
2. Add the stock (just enough to cover the vegetables), cover and simmer for about 30 minutes.
3. Blend with a hand mixer, add the nutmeg and season to taste.
To garnish you could swirl in some naughty cream and sprinkle on smoked crispy bacon. For a festive look, add some herbs to look like holly and add a couple of pink peppercorns – although ATTENTION! Pink Peppercorns should be strictly avoided if you suffer from nut allergies – read more about it HERE from my friend, Christina.
Moreover, take your soups to another level and excited intriguing faces are guaranteed at the table. For macaronivores, why not serve with a couple of mini curry tikka mac'sala macarons (See page 100 of the book.)
In between sane bowls of soup and greedy galettes, it's just the right timing to prepare loads of macarons today for this weekend's party. Hm. Too many choices of flavours – what favourites would you prefer to see on the table: classic or wacky? Dress is also 'back to the 80s'. What on earth did we wear then? Do you remember? Shoulder pads? Jumpsuits? Disco gear? What would you wear?
Happy, Healthy Holidays!
Bonne Année – Bonne santé !
And it doesn't stop there. After the classics and becoming more creative you can amaze your guests with savoury "mini mad macs". They are the lightest, sugar-reduced macarons that can be served as an apéritif or with a starter. Try Jill's hot and spicy Tikka "Mac'Sala" or Beetroot and horseradish macarons.

Giving the government more money to spend the government way is pretty dumb. I don't think the government has been spending money the right way in the last few years, and I believe low taxes has attracted companies to come back to the United States, Catsimatidis told Yahoo Finance Live. [If they raise taxes] all theyre going to do is find a way to leave again.
President Trumps 2017 tax cuts reduced the corporate rate to its current 21% from 35%, one of the highest in the world. Biden wants to raise the rate to 28%, which is still lower than its been anytime between World War II and Trumps tax cuts. Biden also supports a so-called Amazon Rule, which involves a 15% minimum tax rate on net annual income for corporations making over $100 million a year. Its a way to prevent companies including Netflix, Starbucks and the rules namesake from dodging their tax bill because of loopholes and special tax breaks.
On individuals, Biden proposes raising the income tax rate on people who earn over $400,000 a year from 37% to just under 40%, as well as raising the capital gains tax rate for the nations highest earners.

The word emotion is derived from the Latin emovere, "e" is to move and 'movere' is "out." Emotion, to move away from myself.
My experience (through meditation) tells me that our true nature is that of being calm, loving, happy, resilient and understanding. When we move away from this central awareness we get hooked into things outside of ourselves – we move into e-motion.
False Beliefs:
- I'm justified to be angry! A little bit of anger doesn't hurt! – only it takes away our happiness.
- Emotions keep us safe / our emotional defences are our protection, e.g. fear, anger. – only ironically, all we are doing is making ourselves more and more vulnerable.
- To worry is to care. only worry does not help it just fuels the situation with negative energy.
I used to believe that to make things happen I had to get angry. Only when we complain and get angry we just get wound up and everyone else feels threatened and defensive. All we have done is add to the confusion and hurt and in the long term it just breeds distrust.
Why Detox Emotionally?
Our emotions are killing us. They take away our happiness. Plus the link between certain emotions and diseases is widely recognised today. Research is now seeing how when we hold onto negative feelings, sad emotions or depressing memories that we can actually reshape our 'cells' – this causes the negative effect on our physical health.
Q: Do you enjoy feeling angry, sad, envious, guilty, feeling dependent?
The catch: acting out emotions has sometimes got us what we wanted. So, we have got caught in them. However, what we attain by this method is only ever on a short term basis. We want out and yet at the same time part of us does not want to let go – they have become our friends. Do you ever find yourself defending them? We blame others- it's all their fault. We justify our emotions- we convince ourselves that we have the right to be angry. We bury them.
The price: these cycles of behaviour move us further and further away from our true potential and prevent us from experiencing a life of happiness. We lose our sense of who we are, and become separated from each other. Whatever is going on around us now shapes how we feel, so we try to control what is going on around us – to change others and situations. Not ourselves.
Do you want to detox?
The habit of not wanting to let go is the real problem- change this and it becomes easy to change any habits that you want to change. Often we do not want to let go because we do not want to take on the responsibility of dealing with our emotions. Somewhere along the line though someone has to take the initiative to change; to choose to break the negative cycle.
Letting Go… the easy method.
Most of the time we are caught in a false sense of self. This self dictates to us how we want to be seen in the world; how we want to be treated; what we think is right / wrong and what makes us happy / unhappy. The easy method to let go of the toxins is to discern my true self from the false self, and to take our sense of self worth from who we truly are.
Practices: Strengthen the Positive
- Take time to become still and observe your thoughts, feelings (positive feelings) and emotions (negative whirlwinds)
- Proactively create (using your thoughts) a deep experience of a preferred state of mind (peace, calm, love). When we do the brain then experiences a flood of these good feelings.
- Refresh every now and then throughout the day- step back into this experience. It's a bit like taking your mind out of the city and into the middle of the countryside/ to create the choice to be still, calm and separate from what I am doing and to just to be me.
- Identify with your positive qualities again and again, especially when we are being negatively projected upon. Nurture true self-awareness and respect.
- Remind yourself of what you value most of all, such as, to maintain my self-respect is much more important than reacting to whatever is happening around me. I cannot control the way anyone responds to me, my part is the only part I am responsible for.
- Take time out to reflect and talk to yourself. …. It is good to visualise where you would like to be in 1, 5, 10 years time. Also, this is an inner battle so we need make time to have that inner conversation, otherwise we are just fighting our emotions and we get nowhere.
- Instead of being defeated by your mistakes. Accept them. Learn from them. Now focus on what you want to do / be.
- Set goals for yourself: have a weekly focus.
A Situation
It is important to detox as soon as possible, otherwise we carry that emotion with us for the rest of the day or even longer. We need to reflect on what happened, accept the emotions, resolve it and not absorb it.
Reflect: Was there something that I wanted from them? Respect? Love? Admiration? This is our false self (ego) wanting to be fed. Instead realign to your true self, recognise that you are already love and forgive yourself for having temporarily forgotten this. Then also forgive 'them' for dishing it out too.
It's for me to break this pattern if I want to live differently. It is for me to change how I see them and understand that they are not like that all the time. I can then choose to keep a vision of them at their best. When I do this – I find that I begin to feel better about myself and I will become a positive influence on them. I am weakening the cycle.
A good practice here is to introduce regular pauses for yourself throughout the day in which to clean out and realign to your true self (not the emotion).
Accepting Emotions
We need to move from resistance or justification to acceptance and taking responsibility because when there is acceptance we can change. Then a point will come when we have built up our inner strength so much that we do not experience that person or situation as a problem anymore. Instead there is wisdom, understanding and compassion
Other Tips:
a) Give each negative emotion a character. This helps to separate yourself from the emotion. Then there is you and the emotion. Dependency could be a monkey; anger a wolf; ego a tiger. I am the master of my inner world and not they of me.
b) See yourself as a sculptor carving out the old negativity. Dis-identify with it. It's not me. Identify instead with your positive qualities again and again.
c) Be like a palm tree – in a storm it moves with the wind and so it is not uprooted. Its roots go deep. Make your roots deep then you will be easily able to draw on your inner qualities when a storm comes. When the roots go deep it is easy to be tolerant, to accept and flow. Let it be your way, there are a dozen ways to get to the same destination. So we maintain our dignity and yours.
d) Be like a river. When we are connected to our core of peace and love our hearts are able to open to such an extent that we naturally cease to judge others. When we judge we put up a wall. When we let our defences down -with love and trust that the right things will happen- we allow others to let theirs down.
See beyond – I want to live in a different way. My emotions have had their part to play, only now they have had their time. Let them know in a nice way that they are free to go. Like old clothes that don't fit anymore I can let them go. It's OK.

Reviews provided by Syndetics
CHOICE ReviewBrown (Univ. of Southampton and author of the excellent International Relations Theory: New Normative Approaches, 1992) believes students are introduced to international relations (IR) with insufficient theory. This brief conceptual IR text fills that need. Brown emphasizes past and current theoretical debates in the field; realist perspectives on the state, power, and national security; international economic relations; and the emergence of new disciplinary issues, including global ecology, migration, and gender. This odd book is too brief and abstract to be useful to beginning students and insufficiently comprehensive and scholarly for advanced students. It includes an extended bibliography and recommended readings at the end of each chapter, but there are no footnotes. A more useful introduction to traditional IR theory is James Dougherty and Rober Pfaltzgraff's Contending Theories of International Relations (3rd ed., 1990). Brown's study might be useful as a supplementary text in an introductory IR course, but it will have limited use in most academic libraries. Undergraduates. M. Amstutz; Wheaton College

text: indian73 0 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 My house is in Katy and was built in 2006. Since about a year ago, I have been noticing water ozzing out occasionally from a crack in my driveway. I did not pay much attention to it till now, when suddenly my water bill has quadrupled. I don't know if the drivway water and the water around my house are related in any way. PS: I have a detached garageI have shut off all the faucets in the house and the water meter does not move. So there is no leak there. I also got the water company to come out and check the meter and it is fine. There is no loss on any channel of the sprinkler system, indicating no problem with the sprinkler system either. However all around the house, in genral, there is a lot of water. Whenever the lawn guy comes to plant a shrub in the front yard, he says there is so much water underneath the surface (even 6-8 inches underneath, the soil is REALLY wet)What can be the cause of the water? Whom should I call? How should I start to diagnose the cause of water loss ?I do plan on running each channel of sprinkler for two minutes and checking the water meter to see if any one channel is busted. But other than that I am out of ideas. Please advise.Thanks in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a 14 yr old son non-diabetic and i worry about him getting D, too much. My point being, if i were pre-disposed i'd think about the trial to prevention to see if it could stop full blown D, maybe it could help my other child in the future to know this?!! Just thinking about it, is all. I will keep all posted. One thing though, my bouts with hypoglycemia are happening after breakfast before lunch when they do happen, no other time, that i'm aware of. Yes i agree with staying healthy and fit too. I've been on a walking regimen for four years, everyday, of course until Matt was diagnosed, now it's not EVERY day, but often, i watch what i eat too, and for now i'm thin!

Yield: 1 steak
Time: 2 hours, thirty minutes
- 1 strip steak approximately 2-inches thick
- 2 whole sprigs of fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced1.00
- ½ teaspoon salt
Let the steak come to room temperature. Fill a 6-quart container with water and insert the sous vide circulator according to its instructions. Preheat your sous vide circulator to 130 degrees.
In a food-safe plastic bag, combine the thyme, butter, garlic, and salt. Place the steak in the bag and mash the bag so the butter mixture is rubbed all over the steak. Using the water displacement method, remove the air from the bag and seal it, clipping it to the side of your water.
Set the cooking time to two hours.
Once the two hours have elapsed, heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat on your stove and spray it with cooking oil. Remove the steak from its cooking bag and sear it on each side in the cast iron pan for about 30 seconds — more if needed. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before serving or slicing.

Forests and the Economy | May 2015
After the Wars, Common Ground
Environmentalists and the timber industry — once bitter adversaries — are working as allies on forest restoration. Collaborative forest thinning projects aim to fight megafires before they start — but money is scarce and tens of thousands of acres acres in Oregon now face an elevated risk of catastrophic fire. Ben DeJarnette reports for InvestigateWest.
Equity | April 2015
Home Sweet Portland?
Cash reigns in the Portland housing market. The city faces pressure from a new kind of speculation, as investors buy thousands of homes with cash and long-established protections for bank-financed homebuyers are ignored. Lee van der Voo and James Gordon report for InvestigateWest.
Wealth and Poverty | March 2015
After 10-Year Plan, more homeless than ever in Seattle
March 2015 marks the anniversary of a bold promise: King County's 10-year plan to end homelessness. Now that the 10-year plan is ending and local homelessness is worse than ever, talk of ending homelessness is being replaced with less-lofty aspirations: making homelessness rare and brief when it does occur.
In collaboration with KUOW this week, we examine the roots of the plan, the challenges it faced, and where community and city leaders think we go from here.
Equal Justice | December 2014
Grand jury reform propelled by Ferguson
With grand jury reform elsewhere focused on eliminating racial bias and curbing police use of force, Oregon is an outlier: It is one of just 14 states that do not regularly record the citizen grand juries that charge people with felonies.
Almost five years after police killed an unarmed black man in Portland and the Multnomah Co. district attorney petitioned for that grand jury to be recorded, lawmakers in Salem are lining up behind a reform bill to mandate recording statewide, InvestigateWest has learned.
Seafood | December 2014
Food fight pits iconic halibut against exports, fast food
A struggle in Alaska over shrinking supplies of halibut is threatening the iconic centerpiece fish in favor of cheaper exports, fast-food fillets and fish sticks.
At risk is most of the frozen supply that sustains restaurants, food-service companies and retail stores nationwide, such as Costco and Whole Foods. Lee van der Voo investigates.

It will take hundreds of millions of dollars to clean up the Duwamish River. But how clean is clean? And who decides?
Robert McClure looks at how lobbyists and community groups have squared off over the health of the waterway and its neighborhoods.

Trafficking | October 2014
Gangs taking over Northwest child sex trade, say authorities
Authorities say organized gangs increasingly are trafficking children for sex in the Northwest, and even cooperating with each other to stymie police.
Meanwhile in Portland, the U.S. Attorney's Office has become the third most prolific nationally in securing indictments for trafficking children and adults for sex.

Minimum Wage | August 2014
Washington struggles to help workers collect millions in stolen wages
"Everyone is aware that passing a $15 an hour minimum wage was historic," an advisor to Mayor Ed Murray and the Seattle City Council told InvestigateWest. "But if we cannot enforce that, we haven't accomplished much."
Based on a review of more than 20,000 wage theft complaints, hundreds of pages of reports and more than a dozen interviews, "Stolen Wages" shines a light on the dark world of pay violations in Seattle and across Washington.

Inside the Box: The Price of Portable Classrooms
Portable, modular or relocatable classrooms — whatever you call them — are a necessity for cash-strapped schools.
But many portables become permanent fixtures, in place for decades at a time. Costly and insufficient, these aging structures burden the grid, frustrate teachers and administrators and compromise student health.

Smoke and Numbers: Inside Green Claims for Burning Wood
Energizing our world with wood sounds so natural. And it has quickly become a multibillion-dollar industry as governments including British Columbia and the European Union turn to biomass to replace dirty old coal. Yet what we found when we dug into the coal-vs.-wood debate will surprise you.
In our work, we rely on the generosity of many others who make their services available for free or at a discount to nonprofits, including Tableau and the Texas A&M GeoServices Team.

And all he gives you is a few-syllable text to explain himself.
We've all got work commitments, family commitments, social obligations, errands and workouts. But, can we be honest with each other here for a minute?
When I actually want to see someone, when he offers to hang out with me on a day I've already gotten plans in place, I rearrange my day to make time for him. My response is something along the lines of, "I'm supposed to do x and y, but if you want to do z in between, that'll work great for me." Or, I'll budget him into my time for the next day.
But, when I don't care to see him, that's when I go with the "too busy" route.
We may be imagining all sorts of problems that may or may not exist or we're rationalising our own boundaries, values, and even prior experiences of being in one of these situations (so knowing that we may struggle with the emotional consequences) and are thinking along the lines of, 'Well…
I'm of a certain age so I need to prepare myself for turning a blind eye to any code amber / red actions and indications because people in this age group tend to be recently broken up / separated / divorced'. There's no easy answer to the question of what the 'right time' is for dating a separated or recently divorced person.
And we're all used to using that 24 hours in a day in specific ways, which we would probably consider as "busy."For example, I wake up, shower, go to work, go to the gym for an hour, make dinner, then either attend social commitments, reconnect with my couch or run errands. And just like that, I've spent my 24 hours staying rather busy without batting an eyelash.

Your wallet is already activated, but you need one to set your reward recipient for mining. Save this coin until you decide on which pool to use for mining. Below is some information regarding activation so you can get a better idea.
Read the information below carefully, because this is the only coin I'm sending you With the amount of coins I am giving out daily now, I'm trying to get people to conserve coins when starting off so I can help out more people. If possible, please help out any new person needing a coin. Donations are also welcome to help me start new people off BURST-FFLQ-3QZJ-267R-F3QBX
---- Getting Started Read Below Before Continuing ----
Contrary to what most of the getting started guides say, you only need to create one transaction to "activate" your wallet. Changing your reward recipient to a pool for mining gets this done. Please read this post regarding activating your account - What It Means To Create Your Public Key (AKA "Activate" Your Account) - Simply Explained

Cheap Meal Kit Delivery Service Hellofresh Warranty Check
oembed rumble video here Ever since Blue Apron came onto the scene, meal delivery services are all the rage nowadays. There are many choices to pick from: Plated, HelloFresh, Blue Apron, and even – . Developed with the home cook without any time to grocery shop in mind, provides your pre-selected meal strategy to your door every week with pre-measured active ingredients.
So why did I cancel my strategy after the first week? That's a good concern. My HelloFresh evaluation is that this service simply isn't the right one for me, despite the fact that I can see why some people enjoy it. To begin, I should tell you a bit about me. I'm a house cook with restricted time to run to the supermarket, living in a studio apartment with an even smaller sized kitchen, and I make supper almost every night.
In fact, making brand-new dishes each week (at least one!) is a top priority for me as the Handling Editor of Wide Open Eats – . After all, if I'm not attempting brand-new things at house, especially after a long work day, then how will I understand what to truly advise? So that's our set-up at home.
Cheap Meal Kit Delivery Service Hellofresh Warranty Check
When you log onto HelloFresh, you select the meals you want to utilize in advance. The options aren't endless, and in reality, there are just enough to make you feel like you have an option without being overwhelmed. I picked 3 dinners with different types of meat to cover all my bases.
The very first box I chose was Tex-Mex Tilapia. Not visualized: Tilapia. Shannon Ratliff I was most ecstatic about this meal, and it didn't disappoint. The flavors were spot-on, vibrant and crispy all around, and the accompanying dish cards were easy to follow. The packaged, fresh active ingredients (revealed above) were simple to check out and the meal package directions were simple.
This HelloFresh meal gave way more couscous than I expected, and total my review for this particular HelloFresh meal was that I was pleased with the meal choice I made from the other meal options. The part sizes were big, however not excessive. I could clear my plate easily, which is uncommon, but my partner was grabbing a snack only an hour later.

The Juicy Lucy Burger was on the menu next, with provided Brioche buns and directions for a Tomato Onion Jam that will remain in my dish rotation permanently. A Juicy Lucy is a well-known hamburger and is stuffed with cheese inside instead of a slice on top (although I would have liked that, too).
Sadly, we simply couldn't wait while we were making dinner, therefore the Arugula Salad isn't envisioned because we consumed it in about 6 minutes over the stove as the burgers prepared. By this second home-cooked meal, I was nearly prepared to come around to HelloFresh and turn over to the dark side of meal membership services.
Opening the fridge to see a different meal in the traditional HelloFresh brown paper bag, cooking had actually lost its luster late in the week. Still, I laid it out on the counter and stood firm in spite of the reality that all I wished to do was pan-fry some chicken, peppers, and onions for a fast meal of.

The Pineapple Salsa, like the Tomato Onion Jam, was a more innovative dish than I picture the majority of us work up when we make pork chops or hamburgers, so it was nice to make something beyond my comfort zone with that dish. This was, without a doubt, my boyfriend's preferred meal.
No, he was shoveling it in his mouth and loving every second of it. Praising the well balanced meals we had actually consumed that week, he wanted to understand why my HelloFresh review wasn't that enthusiastic. I believe HelloFresh is worth it for large families, particularly when food shipment is much easier than packing the kids into the vehicle to head to the supermarket.
I also appreciate that the quantity of product packaging isn't frustrating. . For very first time meal kit users, there are reasons to try the service, consisting of the capability to tailor to certain dietary limitations (though not particular allerigies) and an excellent variety of vegetarian options. And if you want to track your dietary info, all that is readily available on their website.
Cheap Meal Kit Delivery Service Hellofresh Warranty Check
In spite of all that, here are three factors why I'm not offered yet. I hadn't recognized the delight I took in finding brand-new dishes to attempt, even if it's just one weekly. The structure of HelloFresh indicates it's developed for fairly thoughtless cooking; you just pick your meals through the traditional strategy and you don't need to believe about them anymore.
Regardless of the absence of food images on my own (I loathe pulling out the phone during supper), I take pride in my cooking and laugh it off when I stop working – . With the pre-packaged components particularly, I felt restricted to stay on track. Obviously, this part of my HelloFresh evaluation wouldn't always be a problem for others.
While this is excellent for not overindulging, there were no leftovers at all. Among the methods we attempt to save cash throughout the week is to take leftovers for lunch. While that suggests I'm making a much bigger supper frequently, it also means that those lunches will keep us complete at work for at least 2 days after.
Cheap Meal Kit Delivery Service Hellofresh Warranty Check
I was likewise in the kitchen area a lot longer whipping up those lunches whereas, on a normal night, supper clean-up and lunch-packing happens simultaneously. For our, this just didn't fit. In hindsight, we might have changed from the classic box for 2 individuals to the household plan box, but I still think I 'd be buying lunches.
I would make each of these recipes again, however the problem is that I simply wasn't delighted by them. Perhaps it was because I understood I 'd be composing this review after, but each brown paper bag of HelloFresh ingredients loomed in the fridge and made me feel as though I had a due date to keep.
I have actually been practicing user-friendly cooking for the last six months or two, and my cooking has improved by leaps and bounds. That self-confidence I felt in the kitchen area didn't equate over to cooking with HelloFresh. So while this is definitely a quality service, my evaluation is that HelloFresh simply didn't suit my lifestyle.

HelloFresh is a meal subscription service that delivers whatever you need to prepare wholesome, well balanced meals for your household. As a HelloFresh customer, you don't need to work so hard planning a weekly supper menu in advance and dragging all the components home from the supermarket. The company deals with whatever but the cooking, providing you with easy-to-follow dishes and thoroughly portioned, fresh ingredients provided in an insulated recyclable shipping box as soon as weekly ().
While the service may cost more per person than similar meals sourced from a regional grocery store, if you're aiming to take some of the hassle out of home cooking, HelloFresh is certainly worth trying. HelloFresh offers six membership strategies: Meat & Veggies, Veggie, Household Friendly, Low Calorie, Quick & Easy, and Pescatarian.
Menus are published weekly and can be previewed online. Costs equal throughout all its meal plans. As of February 2020, prices are either $7.49, $8.99 and $10.99 per serving, depending upon just how much you order. Shipment is $6.99. For instance, a customer ordering 2 meals weekly for 2 individuals would pay $10.99 per serving, or $50.95 total including the cost of shipment.

The chart listed below discusses the pricing structure in additional detail. Weekly Order Rate Per Serving Overall (with Shipment) 2 people x 2 meals $10.99 $50.95 2 individuals x 3 meals $8.99 $60.93 2 people x 4 meals $8.99 $78.91 4 people x 2 meals $8.99 $78.91 4 individuals x 3 meals $7.49 $96.87 4 people x 4 meals $7.49 $126.83 HelloFresh does not offer gluten-free, dairy-free or nut-free options.

All needed components are consisted of in your weekly meal delivery other than for salt, pepper, sugar, butter, and cooking oil, so make certain you have those products on hand.
HelloFresh insulated boxes ship with ice bag to make sure active ingredients stay fresh en path to your refrigerator. The business creates dishes around components that can maintain prime condition for a week or more after shipment; however, HelloFresh recommends preparing specific dishes, such as those using fresh fish, early in the week to make the most of freshness.

In fact, it has some strong competitors from Blue Apron. Both services make use of a comparable meal delivery model, supplying fresh, raw components and easy dishes for approximately a week's worth of dinners. HelloFresh and Blue Apron are really close in cost. In addition, they both offer vegetarian options designed simply for vegetarian subscribers.
HelloFresh is headquartered in Berlin, Germany and is noted on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. It operates in twelve worldwide markets. For the third quarter of 2019, it reported 2.61 million active consumers and provided 68.9 million meals. The United States is its biggest market, with 1.48 million active customers. In the first 9 months of 2019, HelloFresh reported 1.3 billion euros in sales.
First let me say, I have experience with a house meal delivery service. My family had a subscription to a various company last year for a number of months, and although the food was terrific, we thought the meals were a little time-intensive to make. So, this year, as a Christmas present from my MIL, we chose to try HelloFresh.
Cheap Meal Kit Delivery Service Hellofresh Warranty Check
The Excellent- The meals were less complex and a little faster to make than the comparable meal subscription I had last year. Also, the price was about the same. The dishes will not blow you away, but they are sturdily excellent. These are the factors this isn't a 1-star review. The Bad- Relatively, the management of deliveries and meal options on the HelloFresh website was clunkier.
Once again, I'm believing relatively, and for the exact same price, the other meal service had a few better meal options weekly you might consist of in your choices at no extra cost – . HelloFresh Customer Care – I will not say it was Ugly, however it wasn't Good. For reasons I'll explain in the next area, I contacted Customer support after our extremely first shipment.
They make their cash on having long-lasting customers, right? But I'm very sure I got the scripted response of, "We can provide you a $10 credit for that." When I stated, "Truthfully, that's not excellent enough," I got the used cars and truck sales treatment while the rep left to speak with their supervisor and I cooled my heels, and when the associate came back, the credit went up to over $30.
Cheap Meal Kit Delivery Service Hellofresh Warranty Check
The 2nd amount was actually over and above what I thought was essential, and if they 'd simply been reasonable right off the bat, I would have been great receiving a smaller sized credit however investing less time dealing with the entire thing. The whole experience seemed driven by accounting professionals and some arcane concept of client service – .
This is really NOT what their own Terms state on their site. The very best interaction I had with customer support was when I went to cancel my account from the app, and it makes you call and speak with an associate to go through the whole cancellation spiel.
THE UGLY- Spoiled food. Over a 4 week period we got 3 deliveries of the 3-meal strategy, so 9 meal kits total. In every delivery I needed to toss away spoiled rotten vegetables. This was my disappointment when I got in touch with client service after getting our first order. Your company name is Hello FRESH!!! I indicate, REALLY??!! I work from home on a regular basis so I was house for each delivery and popped the meals into the refrigerator right now, so I can just blame bad quality control for this issue.


text: A shocking and powerful documentary by Nina Rosenblum--narrated by Susan Sarandon and shot by Haskell Wexler-about the recent "experimental" torture and attempted brainwashing of three women prisoners in a federal prison in Lexington, Kentucky. Each woman was arrested for political activity, given an unusually long prison sentence, and then isolated in a basement cell for almost two years, kept under 24-hour surveillance, periodically awakened several times a night, and strip searched daily. Though this horrific unit was eventually shut down by court order after the protests of human-rights groups, the ruling was overturned last fall. Many more such prison units are now under construction. The three prisoners who underwent this ordeal because of their radical political involvement (in support of civil rights, Puerto Rican nationalism, and the antiwar movement) show a great deal of lucidity and resilience about their ordeal, in spite of the severely debilitating psychological and physical effects of the torture. One regrets the use of "simulations," even though they're identified as such, to demonstrate some of the prisoners' treatment, because their use shows so little trust in the imagination of the audience. But this is still a remarkable look at part of what Bush's "kinder, gentler" nation is up to, and something you aren't likely to hear about elsewhere. A Chicago premiere. (Chicago Filmmakers, 1229 W.

29/12/2016 01:51I hope that the sumo is not the static image that really "roll" OR spin 360 degree to roll.. this make us dizzy if sumo "roll" like this.
My suggestion is, when user click on "Jump"/"Roll" button, the character can turn into "SwissRoll" (, instead of the character spin 360 degree just like the previous picture you posted.
The sumo character is quite fierce in my opinion, please make it either cute or funny. Add more face emotion in sumo character when rolling (eg Happy, Scare, Power Up). It will attract more customer group, male/female/kids/teenager.

Info for Toys In The Attic (Remastered)
Originally released in 1975, this was Aerosmith's breakout recording. A truly inventive Aerosmith album, still suffused with a gloriously raspy sense of the blues, but quietly evocative in its timbre and approach. It showed Tyler working out lyrics that were so much more than simple cars and girls fodder, 'Adam's Apple' theorizing that creation could quite possibly have occurred with an alien mothership landing on earth and setting the wheels of the human race in motion. 'Sweet Emotion' throbbed slowly into life, 'Big Ten Inch Record', a salty R&B work-out, while 'You See Me Crying' was heightened and given body by a warm orchestration. A clear steeple of great work amid a skyline of repeating successes.
"After nearly getting off the ground with Get Your Wings, Aerosmith finally perfected their mix of Stonesy raunch and Zeppelin-esque riffing with their third album, Toys in the Attic. The success of the album derives from a combination of an increased sense of songwriting skills and purpose. Not only does Joe Perry turn out indelible riffs like "Walk This Way," "Toys in the Attic," and "Sweet Emotion," but Steven Tyler has fully embraced sleaziness as his artistic muse. Taking his cue from the old dirty blues "Big Ten Inch Record," Tyler writes with a gleeful impishness about sex throughout Toys in the Attic, whether it's the teenage heavy petting of "Walk This Way," the promiscuous "Sweet Emotion," or the double-entendres of "Uncle Salty" and "Adam's Apple." The rest of Aerosmith, led by Perry's dirty, exaggerated riffing, provide an appropriately greasy backing. Before Toys in the Attic, no other hard rock band sounded like this. Sure, Aerosmith cribbed heavily from the records of the Rolling Stones, New York Dolls, and Led Zeppelin, but they didn't have any of the menace of their influences, nor any of their mystique. Aerosmith was a gritty, street-wise hard rock band who played their blues as blooze and were in it for a good time; Toys in the Attic crystallizes that attitude." (Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AMG)

Legends. Icons. Idols. These are the words used to describe those rare bands that have been adored for a lifetime and immortalized as distinct creators of rock and roll. But what these reverent words are missing is the notion of now. How do you reconcile a generation-spanning word like icon with the quick beat of the present? Aerosmith does it. The band members are legends, icons and idols, dynamic in the present; as cool and innovative now as they were thirty years ago. They are a phenomenon, a force of nature, trail-blazing, unstoppable, showing no signs of slowing down.Unique even among the select handful of rock bands who are still active after their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, Aerosmith has sold over 100 million albums.
Think for a second about how big a number that is and how many people have heard their music. Huge! Steven Tyler on vocals, Joe Perry and Brad Whitford on guitars, Tom Hamilton on bass, and Joey Kramer on drums. They've outdone the trends and fads of rock and roll to become one of the most powerful and electrifying forces in popular music.
Rewind for a minute to the early '70s, when the phrase "sex, drugs and rock & roll" was a rebellious teenager. Enter Aerosmith with a sexy swagger and thrusts ofmetal, glam and boogie woogie. Tyler's lyrics laced with double entendres and witty humor perfectly complimented by the entire group cool urban charisma. Beyond driving rock and roll tunes, Aerosmith created quintessential power ballads such as Dream On. This dual skill set gave the band a string of gold and platinum albums, including Get Your Wings, Toys in the Attic and Rocks.
The early '80s were rockier times, with Perry and Whitford temporarily leaving the Aero fold to pursue solo projects. The guitarists returned in 1984 and soon after, Aerosmith was back in the saddle again. And they have been on top of the charts ever since. Albums like Permanent Vacation, Pump, Get a Grip and Nine Lives, Just Push Play, and their latest release, the blues-inspired 'Honkin' on Bobo', have all been huge successes. And the killer videos – a driving force of the video medium, these Boston rockers led the look, style and attitude of the '80s MTV generation. Videos for Dude Looks Like a Lady, Livin' On the Edge and Crazy (starring Liv) are solid MTV classics. And later, with videos like Pink and Jaded, Aerosmith continued to cut the edge.
Always a step ahead of the pack, Aerosmith's Just Push Play is the first album to be produced by band members Steven Tyler and Joe Perry (along with Mark Hudson and Marti Frederiksen). The unforgettable pop melodies and bone-shaking rock riffs that are Just Push Play sent Aerosmith even further on their path to musical immortality.
'Honkin' on Bobo' was released in March 2004, and as one Rolling Stone review put it: "Aerosmith don't have much time for pain on Honkin' on Bobo. The songs are mostly about gettin' some, then gettin' outta there -- Dixon's "I'm Ready," Bo Diddley's "Road Runner" -- and the attack is heavy Sixties shindig: snarling guitars, thunderclap drumming, Steven Tyler's 3-D snake hiss and widescreen yowl. Bobo is really a combined tribute: to the originators of the blues' core repertoire and the explosive, electric inventions of 1960s British bands such as the Yardbirds, Mayall's Bluesbreakers and the Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac." (David Fricke, Rolling Stone)
With such an unstoppable passion for creating great music, a unique creative vision and an unyielding appreciation for their fans, there are no limits to what the future holds for Aerosmith.
This album contains no booklet.
