This fall we had what has become fairly typical of elections in Canada:
what I call an inversion. I define this as voting the ruling party out in favour
of the most reasonable alternative, or even out of spite. I am heartened
though that the collective decision was one based on values, rather than
purely a "vote the bums out" attitude. The mining industry is thought to be
a "conservative" bunch, however I look at the platform put forward by the
new Liberal government and they seem to be very much in line with the values
of the Canadian mining industry today. These include diversity, environmental
stewardship, prosperity for all, building infrastructure for future
generations, sustainable development and international leadership, especially
in struggling regions with great potential but in need of guidance.
Miners have long embraced these values as a necessity of doing business
and Canadian mining companies have, time and again, brought knowledge,
financing, leadership and best practices to the countries in which they work,
especially in areas where they are trying to build a foundation for growth.
At the forefront of development, miners sometimes find themselves in
regions where conflict is smoldering just beneath the surface. In Mali, three
of our colleagues working in the industry were at that Radisson in Bamako
when terrorists stormed the hotel. Thankfully they survived.
That two of those trapped in the hotel, sending anxious texts to family
and colleagues back home, were there to oversee the construction of a mine
in a young and expanding mining region is significant. Such places are at a
crossroads, where foreign investment and local capacity building may lead
the country in one direction while fanatics with delusions of medieval
grandeur want to push it the opposite way. From this perspective, best practices
in safety, environmental stewardship, diversity, and financial and social
responsibility are particularly important. It is our responsibility to live these
values wherever we may be. While I do not want to overinflate our role, I
think it would be much more foolish to underestimate it.
May you all have a safe and prosperous 2016.

I made this recipe for my friends last night for dinner and it was a hit! I'd definitely make it again. It's also good for leftovers. I had some today for lunch. The only thing I changed was that I used fresh crimini mushrooms instead of mushrooms from a jar like it calls for in the recipe

RES Polyflow, an Akron, Ohio-based company, has formed a new company called Enretec to open sites in the Western United States that use RES Polyflow's plastic recycling technology.
Enretec, headquartered in Nevada, is owned and operated by RES Polyflow as well as the principals of its investor group Polyflow West, which is RES Polyflow's development and implementation team.
Jay Schabel, CEO of RES Polyflow, says that the joint venture firm is a key first step toward full commercialization. "As we prove this highly productive and profitable technology operating with continuous feed at full production output, our focus moves to expanding our ability to provide qualified resources to support our growth. Our partners within Enretec have access to the talent, capital and industry partners in the western states that will enhance our ability to support rapid deployment and growth."
RES Polyflow says its process is easily scalable once implemented and can be expanded to meet feedstock volume and liquid fuels output demand in a given market. Enretec principal Richard Holub sees the economic advantage of deploying RES Polyflow's energy recovery technology in major markets as a profitable alternative to more traditional forms of disposal of problematic plastic waste streams.
"After a thorough evaluation of the competition and the RES Polyflow technology, we are convinced that the RES Polyflow process represents the best use for this segment of the municipal solid waste stream." says Holub. "As the exclusive representative and implementation partner for RES Polyflow in key markets of Arizona, California and Nevada, Enretec looks forward to engaging qualified investors for our operating entities.
RES Polyflow is completing the startup phase of a full scale processing facility in Northeast Ohio. When that facility is completed it will be capable of converting 60 tons per day of plastic scrap into transportation fuels on a continuous basis.
RES Polyflow designs, markets and manufactures energy recovery systems that offer an end of life solution for mixed plastic and rubber waste including tires, carpeting and e-waste. RES Polyflow's continuous feed process equipment converts these items into renewable transportation fuels, octane enhancers and aromatics using a patented waste to energy conversion process.

Instead of having two identical top and bottom plates with holes maybe you could make the bottom one have dimples instead, and this would save you having to put a piece of paper under the stand (which I presume is to stop the pens from marking your desk).
Right, and also currently top and bottom is supported by fragile toothpick, it is not good. I will revise these problem later,, thanks for comment!

Is that not what you are doing when you voted for Obama to raise your taxes? Social security, dividend, interest, capital gains taxes are all going up January first regardless and separate from any legislation congress and the president decide on. Along with some sort of new income tax. So give more of your money to the government to fill there pockets, pensions, pork programs, and give themselves raises. Then some how you will eventually make more money?<quoted text>I'd ask you to show the same class where I ever said that increasing taxes on the top 1-2% would help the middle class, but why bother.
The thing I have been saying all along is that it costs the government X number of dollars to do all they do, and it has to be paid for somehow.
What the clueless right has been saying is that we have a spending problem and not a taxing problem....... Bunk!
Only an absolute blind person can't see that if you plan to go into two wars, while nearly doubling the military budget, that you don't have to find a way to fund it. That's the very first reason there should have been tax increases ten years ago. Instead, we got another tax break for the rich so called job creators!
You'd have to be equally blind to not see that the boomers entering retirement age wasn't going to put a strain on social security and medicare. There has never been anything wrong with the idea of the program, but both political parties are at fault for not managing it correctly, or planning ahead for this event. Throwing away the whole program isn't the answer, nor is the popular thought that some conservatives have voiced that they "just want my money back". Yeah, right!
Whacked out conservatives talk about killing off social safety net programs, while at the same time demanding that workers give wage concessions so that CEO's can get bigger bonus checks. WAKE UP - Everytime workers get a cut in pay, more families are forced out of the middle class and into the ranks of those needing that safety net. It shouldn't take a degree in rocket sience to figure out that this country is better off when people have the chance to earn a decent living wage. Even if it means a few members of the 1% have to try making ends meet with a few less million.
I've asked this before..... When was the last time you asked your boss to reduce your wages so that you'll eventually make more?

I'm just putting the facts to your whining. Just think of me as your angle. Whenever your mouth gets you in trouble (which is all the time) I then give you the facts so you don't look as d stupid as you really are. No need to thank me, it's in my nature to help the ignorant.
#89 Dec 6, 2012
You do realize that even if they taxed the top 1-2% at 100% that it wouldn't run the government for more than a month, right? So explain to the class again how exactly that's going to help?
Talk about 'why bother'....
#90 Dec 6, 2012
LOL..I can't wait until we go over the fiscal cliff and everyone's taxes...even yours...go up.
Say buh-bye to all your favorite little entitlements.

I wish I could see the look on your face when you get your taxes done next year. Cha CHING says Uncle Sam!
Psst...taxes will go up for everyone, not just those who make more than 250K...they don'g get to pick and choose which tax cuts continue and which expire...they ALL do.
Enjoy that higher tax rate!

nope, you got that wrong. Then again you're wrong on just about everything. You're watching too much faux news.

now you made another stupid statement. Dude you need to do some research before you post stupid shyt like that.
#94 Dec 6, 2012
This does not in any way prove wrong my statement that taxing the top 1-2% even at 100% will not fund the runing of the government for long and when the government runs out of other people's money, guess what happens? Buh bye entitlements or the other 98% pay more in taxes. Guess what you're going to have to do? Yup...you get to pay more in taxes to pay for the goverment's lack of spending discretion. Enjoy!

How about you provide a link that shows they get to pick and choose which tax cuts don't expire and which do? We'll be waiting.

.."if they taxed the top 1-2% at 100%"...is this for some type of dramatic effect?...Has anyone suggested 100 percent taxation, other than you? What harm doe's raising taxes on the 2% actually cause?....BTW, the above post, is now in the proper context, which i prefer.....

Why don't you? You're such a know-it-all lets see what you got.

Hahah. Doens't prove anything huh? Dude you're dense and really should try to find another outlet cuz typing shyt on this site is not you're strong suit.
#102 Dec 6, 2012
Smoke another joint, dude..it's making you seem smarter to yourself all the time. What you fail to take into consideration and your handlers conveniently fail to tell you that while the expired tax cuts will indeed increase revenue, increased government spending will quickly consume any extra or did you forget that they have no budget and are proposing more spending then ever?
I'll be lmbo when all you tools are whining next year at tax time...or sooner...like when you get your first paycheck of 2013...assuming you have a job, that is.
If not, you might want to pick up the pace looking for one...those entitlements are going to run out of money pretty fast.
#103 Dec 6, 2012
Haha. why don't YOU give it a rest dude. Who says gov't. spending is going up, and explain why it is we have no budget. Start there. Do you think no budget may be a consequence of the sequester (fiscal cliff scenario) that's been in place since the budget/deficit negotiations 2 years ago? Lets here it big shot, I'll give you another chance to show your brilliance.
#104 Dec 6, 2012
The president does:
Under his proposed budget, spending will increase by about 41% but only decrease by 6% for a net increase in spending of 35%.
And they haven't figured out how to pay for Obama care yet.
Enjoy those new taxes!
Oh...and you can expect a decrease in pay starting January 1, 2013 when the Social Security payroll tax cuts expire...but you probably won't miss that 20 bucks a week....much. Just cut back on the ganja and Budweiser and it'll be okay.

I am very excited to announce that Anndee and I have accepted new positions with Extreme that will officially begin January 1st. My new role is Short-Term Volunteer Manager, and Anndee will work part-time as Short-Term Volunteer Assistant. Our responsibilities include guiding a team of people whose jobs include leading the actual teams on the ground, as well as executing all of the pre-project communication, etc. We also have the responsibility of policy, procedure, as well as missiology and long-term vision for what short-term mission is and how it fits in with Extreme.
Even though we don't officially take on the roles until January, we're working each week, revising policy and putting procedures in effect. We begin communications with the May Project participants next month. For the time being, we don't have all of the staff for our team, so Anndee and I will be filling the logistics spots until we do.
When we joined Extreme, we didn't have a specific passion for short-term missions. Like many, Anndee and I had participated in short-term projects before (Youth In Mission during college, a trip to Macedonia in 2008). Despite this, we didn't come into Extreme with any plans to work with short-term as a full-time ministry role. As Cluster Coordinators, part of our responsibility has been to do on-the-ground detail planning (lodging, food, transportation, plans for the evangelism events, etc.). As our staff has phased out here in Peru, Anndee and I have had the honor of taking on more and more of the responsibility of short-term projects in our city. During the September Build Project, I had the responsibility for every aspect of the project from the time the volunteers landed in Lima until they returned home.
We have hosted six teams here in Arequipa during our roughly 20 months of full-time ministry. While that was almost too much for us to handle, the number of teams we have had, coupled with the levels of responsibility Anndee and I have had during projects have prepared us very well for our next role with Extreme. The Lord was preparing us for our next role even when we didn't know we needed to be prepared. After the May College Team, and after our application for another position similar to our current one (based in Chile), our director approached us about taking the Short-Term Manager position. He noticed our passion and energy and natural giftedness and saw a great fit. It was a surprise for us, but not a hard decision to make.
One of my favorite parts of a project is getting to meet such fantastic people from all walks of life who answer to call to come alongside us to expand God's Kingdom. In my current role, I will get to work behind-the-scenes before and after a project, making sure that everything is getting accomplished in an efficient and timely manner. Then, during projects, I can be on-the-ground support and spend my timeconnecting with the short-term volunteers and encouraging the missionaries in the field. What an awesome opportunity.
As we help our current team through the transition of handing their ministry roles over to church members and finish our ministry in Arequipa well, we are also laying the groundwork for what it to come in Extreme Short Term Missions. Our emphasis is in two places: 1) Revise every aspect of the short-term process (registration, communication, roles, responsibilities, etc.) and make necessary adjustments. 2) Really think about what short-term mission is (and isn't), think about how to do it well, why we do it, how it fits within the over-arching goals of Extreme, etc.
Both of these are great challenges, but Anndee and I are very excited to see how the Lord uses us to expand his Kingdom through this short-term process.
The current time-frame for our family is to work part-time on our new roles as we complete our jobs as Cluster Coordinators for the Cercado Church Planting Team. January, Chris will begin full time and Anndee will continue part-time from Rogers, Arkansas while we raise support. Chris and Anndee will fill the logistics roles for the two College Momentum Teams in Ecuador in May. We'll return to Arkansas for the North Arkansas District Assembly and move the family to Quito, Ecuador in mid-June.

. . . was one of the major experimental filmmakers of the 20th century. This detailed obituary from 2008 details his life and work, with numerous links.
Of all his films, Cosmic Ray and Report stand out for me the most; you can rent many of his films at Canyon Cinema; apparently, at the present moment, Report, perhaps the best film on the assassination of John F. Kennedy, seems to be unavailable. Let's hope it soon gets back into circulation.

The New York cancer specialist accused of coercing dying ex-Beatle George Harrison into autographing a guitar has had an apparent change of heart.
On Wednesday, after news broke of a lawsuit filed against him by the Harrison estate, Dr. Gilbert Lederman offered to donate the instrument to charity, reports the Associated Press.
But the Harrison family has turned him down, saying, through their lawyer that they are rejecting the gesture as "spin" and they are not dropping their lawsuit against him. (Harrison, 58, died in November 2001, about two weeks after the signing.)
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday, accuses Lederman of forcing Harrison's hand to sign the physician's son's guitar while the musician was on his deathbed.
Lederman's attorney, Wayne Roth, responded in an e-mailed statement to AP on Wednesday, saying, "Dr. Lederman developed a close personal relationship with Mr. Harrison, who freely autographed his son's guitar."
Roth went on to say that Lederman would like to donate the guitar, which has been valued at less than $10,000, to a charity decided upon by both the doctor and the Harrison estate.
But Paul LiCalsi, an attorney for the Harrisons, responded that this was "a ludicrous attempt to put a positive spin on what Dr. Lederman did."
Said LiCalsi: "The Harrison family does not want this object that was obtained in such a cruel and abusive manner to be traded, sold and displayed in the future."

A - Z Herbs With Nicky - D, E, F!
Thursday, 6 April 2006
Following massive interest with our Power Herbs, Nicky Treacy Kohler is back to give us a run down of the A-Z of essential herbs every week until the end of the series. Today we'll be looking at D, E and F and they are Dill, Echinacea and Figs.
Dill usually has one upright, hollow stem with waxy or powdery leaves divided into filaments. Umbels of small yellow flowers appear in summer, which are followed by flattish, oval seeds. It is digestive, pungent, cooling and diuretic herb that controls infection.
It has anti-spasmodic, carminative (Inducing the expulsion of gas from the stomach and intestines), digestive, disinfectant, galactagogue (An agent that promotes the secretion and flow of milk.), sedative and stomachic properties.
Dill is used for windy stomachs from badly eaten food and food intolerance, including children's colic. It is also excellent for bad breath.
How can it be Taken

The next day it will be ready to use as a mouthwash.
It is the second most common herb. Echinacea is a tall perennial with lance-like leaves about 15cm long. Purple-pink, daisy-like flowers that smell like honey, with orange-brown centres, are produced in summer to early autumn.
It has immune stimulant properties as well as antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties and is used both topically and orally. It should be taken from the start of autumn, through winter and stopping in spring, otherwise use as needed.

Most of the fiber in figs is insoluble, but about one-fifth is soluble There are many ready made preparations in health food stores. Figs are rich in calcium, iron, phosphorus and potassium. Vitamin C and the B group vitamins are also present in small quantities.
In Ancient Greece the export of figs was forbidden as they were so valuable.
How can they be Taken
. Seeds in cookery
. As a syrup
. As a whole fruit (buy them with stems at the end, ripe figs produce a sticky clear syrup from the blossom end)
What they're used for

Yes, a total Shock Doctrine set up with Issa a central player
Some other key points from the Democracy Now article:
AMY GOODMAN: What about the role of unions? And do you think there is a role being played here, and the push for privatization?
CHUCK ZLATKIN: Well, the unions are an important factor, because part of the reason that it looks so good to privatize is, as they see this business and theyre saying, "Look at this, were paying close to 600,000 workers a living wage, benefits and retirement package. Well, if we could break the union and eliminate that, we could bring in people, at-will workers for an hourly wage with no benefits, and that money could go to, not the American people or costs in government, that would go to profits. This is another situation where working-class people and poor people are being asked to suffer and sacrifice to benefit the rich.
AMY GOODMAN: Very quickly, if the Post Office goes the route of privatization, will theprivate companies will be asking for subsidies to deal with, for example, rural areas in this country. And in the end, the U.S. taxpayers will continue to foot the bill, but this will be for private gain.
CHUCK ZLATKIN: Well, yeah, theyll either ask for subsidies, or theyll refuse to do it. Universal service will be doomed. Theyll pick and choose the profitable areas to service, and the rest of the people will have to fend for themselves. And I would just ask the people who are concerned about this to come out today to rally in every congressional district in the country. You can go to "Save Americas Postal Service," saveamericaspostalservice.org and find out the location near you. This is about saving an institution for the people who depend upon it.
The info about Donahoe's predecessor, John E.Potter, receiving a huge golden parachute at retirement is also very important, especially in contrast with the cuts the workers are facing and in contrast with the claims about lack of performance of the USPS, given that would have occurred under his leadership.
Add to that, it looks like the changes that were made that led to the enormous pay and retirement package for him (and likely any "CEO of the USPS coming after him) was part of the same onerous 2006 legislation that is crippling the USPS now. And that is a pattern similar to the outsized, unfair and ever increasing corporate differential between CEOs and workers that has been increasing for years now.
See the paragraph about Potter in the Democracy Now piece and then read this article - more at link:
Postmaster General John E. Potter could earn about $5.5 million in deferred compensation, retirement benefits and accrued annual leave for the rest of his life when he leaves the U.S. Postal Service next month, according to financial statements.
A 2006 postal reform law permitted the Postal Service to compensate top executives with more generous pay and benefits packages to help recruit talented outsiders.
But critics note that Potter and other postal executives are career insiders who have seen their salaries rise through the years despite the Postal Service's poor financial performance.
Postal unions also argue that workers are being unfairly asked to make financial concessions while top executives earn six-figure salaries and retirement payouts.

Super plan for former Age site
A HUGE proposal for Melbourne's CBD will add nearly 3000 dwellings to its already overloaded apartment market.
Industry Superannuation Property Trust has submitted plans for Melbourne's biggest residential development – six skyscrapers between 39 and 63 storeys rising between 142 metres and 222 metres in height.
The project, on The Age's former site in Spencer Street, is opposite another enormous urban renewal precinct, the 2600-apartment Upper West Side complex in Lonsdale Street.
Of the six proposed, the tower on the corner of Spencer and Lonsdale will be the largest.
Existing buildings that cover two-thirds of a city block between Little Lonsdale and Lonsdale streets will be demolished.
The size of the master plans lodged two days before Christmas mean they will need to be signed off by Planning Minister Matthew Guy rather than Melbourne City Council.
The trust's objective was to rejuvenate the "West End" by opening up "six development parcels" on the 1.7-hectare site, planning documents said.
"In terms of CBD redevelopment, the scale of the site is immense," they said.
As a result the super fund will consider parcelling up portions for others to develop.

Qualmes ft. Thurz - The High Road
Qualmes' stage name may be one letter away from a word meaning "uneasy feelings" but, after listening to his latest effort, I can't see the Pasadena repper struggling with fear or self-doubt. On the contrary, the latest entry in his Direct Deposit series exudes self-assured swag from beginning to end. R8D!0's quirky production, sampled from the Doobie Brothers' It Keeps You Runnin', backs the Nothing's Hollywood rhymesayer as he trumpets his potential for greatness: "I ain't never settle / Call myself a[n] underachiever even with 10 Olympic medals." Perennial reader fave Thurz delivers a similarly witty, braggadocious 16 on the back end. Like what you're hearing? Then keep it locked to the Booth for further Direct Deposit jams, dropping every first and 15th via the artist's official site.

Are you getting asked to post guest articles on your blog? (Things to consider before saying YES)
If your inbox is anything like mine, you may be seeing an increase in the number of people asking to guest write for your blog. The emails usually go something like this:
"Hi! I found your blog and I love it. I think it would be a great fit for us. I'd like to offer you a FREE article for your blog on any subject you want. All I ask for in return is two links inside the text to websites of my choosing. And you get unique content at no charge! Let me know when I can begin an article for you."
I used to think, "Sure! Why not? Content is great." Then I learned more about links that pass page rank. I have never been hung up over page rank. In fact, the last time I was really concerned about it was back in 2007 and that was only because I had a little contest running with a friend of mine. Many people feel that page rank is an arbitrary figure and far over-rated by the few who get caught up over it (new article coming soon about this).
What I do care about, however, is being used.
Here's the thing:
These people who ask to guest post for me have found me through online research. They are looking for blogs that have page rank of 3 or higher. If they get those links into my blog, it helps their client websites look better to the search engines. I'm passing my own reputation over to them, in other words. I'm sharing my page rank with them.
This may not seem like a big deal but after seeing some of the articles, I know – I don't WANT to share my online reputation with them. I don't want search engines associating my site/blog with spammy websites such as low fee insurance outlets, gaming sites, etc. The writers who contact me are getting paid by the company to find blogs to place their links on. The writer wants me to think I'm getting a great deal by gaining free content for my blog when in essence they are the ones getting the pay-off. They are getting cash for writing and securing links on blogs that have a higher page rank.
How I now reply to these inquiries
When I get these emails now I reply, "Thanks for writing! While I love having guest authors on our blog I no longer give DoFollow links to articles like the ones you are mentioning. I no longer allow for embedded links inside the posts that pass page rank. If you'd like to submit an article without the embedded links, let me know."
I never hear from them again.
The articles they write might have text such as this:
Four Tips for Moving with Kids
It's not easy to move with kids. It's stressful and tiring! Between the boxes and packing and the moving trucks, it's a pain!
{The words "moving trucks" would have an embedded link that goes over to a moving truck site. The author is hoping that readers will click on that and perhaps sign up with that moving company, see? It's an ad. That's why they want to give you content – in order to advertise their client in the text. The writer gets paid for this and you get spammy content.}
The guest articles I do want
I love having guest authors on my blog! In fact, we are now making that a larger part of Mommy Perks. The guest authors will primarily be by invite only, however. I will ask people I know and trust to write articles in their niche or expert area (parenting, small business, inventing, entrepreneurship, optimizing your site, using videos to promote, marketing, networking, places to promote and advertise and so on). That way, we can all learn more about various topics from websites I don't mind sharing my reputation with.
I also enjoy having guest posts from non profit agencies. They often have a great online reputation already and I don't mind linking to them. I don't allow them to place embedded links into the text unless they are completely relevant to the post and helpful to the reader (for instance – an article written by a non profit debt consolidation company with a text link that takes the reader over to a free financial calculator to help analyze their family debt).
Guest articles can be a wonderful thing and help both parties. I don't recommend placing the spammy guest articles on your blog, though. You may be getting content but it's content that helps the other party far more than it helps you. They are getting free advertising on your blog and you could be putting your own online reputation at risk.
Find people you know and trust to guest author for you. You'll get quality material that isn't focused on tricking readers into clicking over to a sales site to buy something. Guest writing relationships with respected colleagues will be mutually beneficial and will help your readers learn something relevant and meaningful.

Semi ends atop car in fatal I-65 crash in northwest Indiana
LOWELL, Ind.
A semitrailer cab drove onto the top of a car in a crash on Interstate 65 in northwestern Indiana that police say has killed one person.
State police say the northbound lanes of I-65 have been closed by the crash that happened Wednesday morning near the Indiana 2 interchange in southern Lake County, about 20 miles south of Gary.
Northbound traffic is being diverted from I-65 at the Indiana 10 exit near Roselawn.
Police say the crash involved two semitrailers and a car but didn't immediately release information about the circumstances or the victim.

THE full programme for Lifeboat Week in Lyme Regis has been revealed.
In addition to the RAF Falcons parachute display team on July 20 and the Red Arrows on July 24, there will be dozens of family activities running from July 19 to 26.
Some old favourites are returning along with a number of new events.
The tug o' war across the harbour entrance, in which the RNLI crew pit their pulling power against the coastguards, is returning after three years.
Among the new attractions is the chance to throw a wet sponge at lifeboat crew in the stocks, a model aircraft display, fossil polishing and mini golf.
The ever-popular bath tub race from Cobb Gate to the harbour is scheduled again, and the children's crab fishing contest is always a crowd-puller. Last year's Lifeboat Week raised more than £30,000 for the RNLI charity.
The 48-page Lifeboat Week programme, with full details and timings of all events is now available at the lifeboat shop at the harbour and throughout Lyme Regis and Charmouth.

Chicken Pho Soup
Pho is a traditional Vietnamese noodle soup composed of a broth, rice noodles, fresh herbs, and meat (normally either beef or chicken). I first had pho when I moved to the D.C. area, and instantly fell in love with it. Growing up I normally didn't eat a lot of chicken noodle soup, but I really love the aromatics and flavors in pho. Pho broth has an amazing spiced smell to it, and coupled with the tender meat and fresh herbs it's perfect for a cold winter day. I normally go for the beef pho, but when I want a lighter, leaner meal I go for some chicken pho, which is why I chose it for today's recipe. I wanted to share with you some of my tricks to making a tasty soup that only takes a few hours to make. One thing I love to do when making pho is to roast the onion and garlic before adding them to the pot. It brings out a great flavor, and really fills up the kitchen with the smell of fresh ginger. Regardless of whether you're making a stock for pho or any other type of soup, one important step is to parboil the bones. You may be asking what parboil means and what it does for the stock. Parboiling simply means that you flash boil the bones to release their impurities. The end result is you get a clearer stock that's not as cloudy. Another important step to making pho is to skim the foamy white stuff off the top while its cooking. This is a natural part of the cooking process, and by removing it from the soup you end up with a clearer stock.
- 3 yellow onions
- 5 inch ginger segment
- 3 tbsp coriander seeds
- 1 tbsp fennel seeds
- 4 lb uncooked chicken
- 2 lb chicken necks
- 20 cups water
- 3 tbsp salt
- 1 lemongrass sprig
- 4 tbsp fish sauce
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 8 cloves
- 20 cilantro sprigs
- 1 lb rice noodles
- 4 scallions
- 10 cilantro sprigs
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 10 basil leaves
- 2 limes
- 2 serrano chiles
- Turn the oven on broil. Place 2 onions and the ginger on a baking sheet, and broil for 20 minutes, flipping once at 10 minutes. Remove them from the oven and set aside to cool. Once room temperature, remove the outer layer of onion skin and peel the ginger. Slice the onions in half.
- Over medium heat, toast the seeds for about 4 minutes in a pan, then set aside.
- Use a heavy knife to crack the chicken neck bones in order to expose the marrow. Rinse the chicken and pat it dry. Cut the chicken wings from the chicken. Add the necks and wings to a large stockpot and cover with water. Bring the bones to a boil for 3 minutes. Drain the bones and rinse them with water to remove the impurities.
- Rinse the inside of the stockpot. Add the bones back to the stockpot, along with the chicken. Add the water, then bring the chicken to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer (about a 2 or 3 on the stove dial). Add the onion, ginger, salt, sauce, seeds, sugar, cloves, 20 cilantro sprigs to the pot. Crack the lemongrass in half and add to the pot. Simmer for 30 minutes, skimming any foam that comes to the top of the water.
- Remove the chicken and rinse it under cold water. Remove the skin from the chicken and discard. Remove the meat from the carcass and set the meat aside. Add the carcass back to the soup pot and continue to simmer for another 2 hours. Skim any foam or oil that rises to the surface.
- Line a large colander with cheesecloth, the place the colander into a large pot or bowl. Drain the soup into the colander and discard the solids. Return the soup to the stove over low heat.
- Place the rice noodles into a large bowl of warm water for 10 minutes. Cut up the chicken meat into pieces. Chop the cilantro, slice the scallions and onion into thin strips. Set the cilantro, scallions, and onion aside. Slice the limes into quarters, and slice the chiles. Set aside.
- Drain the noodles, then transfer them to the soup for 2 minutes. Distribute the noodles into soup bowls. Top the noodles with chicken, cilantro, scallions, onion. Fill each soup bowl with soup. Serve with the sprouts, chile, lime, and basil on the side as optional garnishes.
For the 2 lb chicken neck, you can normally get these from your local butcher.
I hope you enjoy this recipe, and thank you for joining us this week!

Learning About Nutrition Through Activities
Tasting Activities
Frequency: The tasting activities are done once each week for the first sixteen weeks of the program. This allows for each of the eight targeted fruits and vegetables to be presented in a tasting activity twice throughout the program. After the first sixteen weeks, the tasting activities are done only during the theme unit weeks.
Purpose: To introduce children to the new fruits and vegetables and provide repeated opportunities for them to taste fruits and vegetables in a supportive and non-threatening environment. The tasting activities are intended to be stand-alone activities done outside of meal time, snack time and cooking activities.
- Gather supplies for tasting activity.
- Invite children to wash their hands and sit down at the tables.
- Introduce the fruit or vegetable to the children.
- With gloved hand, serve each child a tasting portion of the fruit or vegetable.
- Encourage all children to taste the fruit or vegetable while you taste it with them.
Tell them: "Taste the [insert name of featured fruit/vegetable] and then you can have as much as you like."
- Once all children have been served, place the container on the table for children to serve themselves more.
- After tasting the fruit or vegetable, tell the children they will get to taste it again sometime at lunch or snack.
Other Tasting Activity Ideas:
Sticker incentives: Encourage children to try the fruit or vegetable, give each child a sticker once they taste the item. (Use only when first introducing a fruit or vegetable or use them intermittently)
Child served: Invite a few children to volunteer and serve tasting portions to their classmates. The servers can wear an apron and pretend to be serving at a restaurant.
Station activity: Offer the fruit or vegetable for tasting as a station activity during activity time and children can rotate through the tasting station.
You decide: Use your imagination to think of other ways to make the taste testing activities exciting and fun for your students!

A Richmond man who is awaiting a court date on felony statutory sodomy and child molestation charges has pled guilty to a misdemeanor sexual misconduct charge.
David Hendricks withdrew his plea of not guilty yesterday and received a 90-day sentence in jail.
Richmond Police officers were called to a house on a disturbance call on June 29, where several individuals were threatening harm to Hendricks, according to the affidavit of probable cause statement.
The crowd was angry because Hendricks had stuck his hand up a female's skirt at a barbeque.
Hendricks is currently in custody awaiting six felony statutory sodomy charges and two child molestation charges.
Police were called to the residence on July 20 for a disturbance call. At that time, a 12-year-old victim gave a statement alleging sexual abuse by Hendricks.
On Aug. 8, the victim and her father gave a statement to a caseworker at Synergy Services. The victim indicated that she met Hendricks while visiting a boyfriend who was living with Hendricks. The victim said in the statement that she went to visit the friend, who was not at home, but was invited in by Hendricks. At the time Hendricks' wife was not at home, but his two daughters ages 1 and 2 were present and some sexual acts were performed in front of the children.
The report then says the incident was broken up by the friend of the victim arriving home, and an argument broke out between Hendricks and the friend.
Five days later the report says that Hendricks took the victim to an old burned out cabin in the woods where more sexual contact was made. The victim stated in the report that she told Hendricks that she was 13-years-old even though she had not yet turned 13.
According to the affidavit of probable cause, police investigated the cabin and took photos. At the scene, a condom was recovered that was reportedly worn by Hendricks. Police showed the photos to the victim, which were identified as the correct location and condom.
Police then interviewed the friend of the victim. The friend confirmed the report of the victim, and added that Hendricks and his wife got in a heated exchange because it took Hendricks and the victim an hour and a half to walk a couple of blocks.
The friend also said that Hendricks confirmed the incident by saying, "that (derogatory term) wanted it," after he was released from jail.
Hendrick's next court date is Jan. 7, 2009. Hendricks has pled not guilty to all charges.

How does Body
differ from BodyPure (original)?
BodyPure + has several enhancements to the Body Pure (original). They
Have the toxins in
the Body Pure detox foot pad been tested?
Although the technology of the BodyPure detox patches have been used for many
years in Japan, BodyPure has taken it upon themselves to provide further
verification its effectiveness. The results of these tests are:
What are
BodyPure's quality standards?
BodyPure + is manufactured from the highest quality wood vinegar extracts,
not packed with extra fillers. See below for a visual demonstration. There
is no Ethylene Glycol in our product (exposure to ethylene glycol can
damage the kidneys, heart, and nervous system).
wood and bamboo vinegar extracts are condensed 5 times until both become
powder. 4.0g of the powder is then placed in the Body Pure foot pad. Other
products can contain starch powder in order to maximize profit at the
expense of quality.
If a tincture of iodine is
added to the foot pads to test the density of wood vinegar, purity can be
determined by how clear the solution remains. As can be seen in the
picture on the left, the products from company A and B will change color,
while BodyPure does not.
If the BodyPure foot pad is dry, may I reuse it?
No, once the 'Pouch' has been used, it will be slightly moist, even if
undetectable visually. For hygienic purposes, re-use is not recommended.
How often, and how
long should I use Body Pure? When can I stop using the foot pad?
Initially, BodyPure + should be used nightly (on one foot) for a
recommended period of thirty days. Individuals who feel that they have
been exposed more extensively to toxins may choose to prolong the 30 day
period or use patches on both feet. After the initial cleansing period,
simple maintenance is recommended (one patch every two to three weeks).
Is it safe to use?
Body Pure + does not deliver any chemicals into your body. It simply
supports your body's natural functions, and is therefore very safe. The
powder contained in the 'foot pad' is acidic, but not much more so
than the natural acidity of your skin.
How many foot
'pads' are included in the Body Pure+ box?
There are 10 detox 'pads', 10 adhesive sheets, and instructions for use
included in each box of BodyPure +.
statements have not been evaluated by the food and drug administration.
The products mentioned are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or
prevent any disease. Always see your licensed health care professional for
proper diagnosis and treatment.

Cow moose in Paonia dies from poison plant
A moose that had been hanging around Paonia for a few weeks to the delight of onlookers died last weekend from poisoning.
Randy Hampton, spokesman for the Division of Wildlife, said a necropsy of the animal performed in Grand Junction revealed the cow ate Japanese yew, an ornamental plant used in landscaping that is also poisonous to moose and other animals.
The moose and its calf had taken up residence in the town and had shown up in backyards on occasion.
Hampton said the necropsy showed the animal had a dislocated hip that was consistent with a collision with a car.
The injury was old, Hampton said, but most likely caused the moose great pain and contributed to the animal hanging around Paonia and not wandering off.
"If the moose had been outside of town, it probably would have been taken down by a predator because of the hip injury," Hampton said.
"It's just nature taking its course."
Hampton said the calf seen with the cow was an older calf from the last breeding season and is strong enough to survive on its own.
It already had wandered away from the town, he said, adding, "We have no concerns in that regard."

West Bromwich Albion 1-1 Liverpool – Premier League – 2nd February 2014
Liverpool's title tilt suffered a blow at the Hawthorns on Sunday, with Victor Anichebe's second-half goal cancelling out Daniel Sturridge's first-half effort. That opener for the Reds came after good work from Luis Suarez, but that good work was undone on 67 minutes, when a horror pass from Kolo Toure gifted a chance to Anichebe who fired past Simon Mignolet in the Liverpool goal. The Baggies then pushed for the winner but ultimately both sides would have to be content with a share of the points.

With the continuing drought and the high heat of summer, keeping plants watered can be especially taxing.
There are three products ranging from very old-tech to new high-tech that can help.
An olla (pronounced oy-ya) is a simple, unglazed clay pot buried in the soil to its neck and filled with water. The water seeps through the pot, keeping surrounding plants moist. Ollas are so old-tech that they were mentioned in Chinese writings from the first century B.C.
The low-fired pots, distributed nationally by Dripping Springs Ollas, hold about 2 gallons of water. A lid keeps water from evaporating and keeps bugs out. The pots normally need to be refilled two or three times a week, depending on plants, soil and temperature, according to the company.
Another plus: The soil on top stays dry, reducing weeds.
Ollas are proving popular with community and school gardens, says Lori Haynes, who started the company. The company has donated some; others have been purchased by cities to distribute to gardens.
About $40. drippingspringsollas.com.
Flora-Flow All-in-One Mats combine irrigation and mulch into an easy-to-use package. An irrigation line is bonded to plastic mulch and can be hooked directly to a hose. The mulch inhibits weed growth, deters evaporation and keeps the soil warm in cooler seasons. The mat has punch-out holes 2 inches in diameter placed every 6 inches to make planting easy.
The black or red mats are 4 feet wide; the length can be trimmed to fit. Research has shown that some plants, especially tomatoes, produce more when red mulch or collars are used. The 8-foot-long mats come with connectors. Other lengths require additional fittings.
Prices start at $18.95 for the 8-foot mat.
The Ancnoble Irrigation Controller (GG-005C-1) uses a moisture meter to determine when plants need water. A controller, powered by solar panels, automatically turns the water on and off to keep plants at a preset moisture level.
The system can prevent a sprinkler system from turning on in the rain or when plants are sufficiently damp. The unit works with pots or in the ground. Larger units are available for use in bigger gardens, orchards or fields.
The cost for a basic unit is about $80.
Karel Holloway is a Terrell freelance writer.
Where to buy
While the following stores regularly stock the ollas, it's best to call for availability.
Gecko Hardware, Dallas
Brumley Gardens, both Dallas locations
Marshall Grain Co., Grapevine and Fort Worth
Puckett's Nursery, Allen
Garden Inspirations, Waxahachie
Some area Whole Foods Market stores
Flora-Flow All-in-One Mats
Ancnoble Irrigation Controller (GG-005C-1)
The controller is available on Amazon.com or through the company's website.

I am a Cosplayer and occasional fashion designer based in NYC. I have been cosplaying since 2003 and have made more costumes than I can actually count any more! I have won many awards over the years and now usually prefer to judge costume competitions, but I will sometimes join in on a skit!
My favorite types costumes to make are pretty gowns and super hero costumes. I have a weakness for any costume designed by CLAMP, I want to make them all. Beyond that, I am very interested in movie costuming, but those costumes tend to be very expensive so I do not get to make as many. My favorite characters to cosplay are Eowyn from Lord of the Rings, and Sakura from CardCaptor Sakura.
I attended the Fashion Institute of Technology from 2005 – 2009 and graduated with a BA in Fashion Design, specializing in Evening Wear and Bridal Design. Since then I have had my own small business making custom wedding gowns, costumes, and one of a kind fashion pieces, and I have worked as a freelance costume designer for a Britney Spears and Lady Gaga impersonator. I have been doing cosplay commissions on a regular basis since 2006.
My other job is as a Weight Watchers Leader and Nutrition Coach. I am returning to school to study Nutrition Science!
