Welcome back to the all-fan Friday edition of CUP O' JOE, which we call CUP O' Q&A. Exclusively here at CBR, Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada answers questions posed by you, the readers, in CBR's Marvel Universe forum.
Of course, we're hot on top of CUP O' JOE content across our mini-site with new installments of Joe's regular interviews with the CBR staff, not to mention last Friday's CUP O' DOODLES, where Joe demonstrated the artistic process involved in his drawing the interconnecting covers of Marvel's upcoming "Siege" event.
This week's fan questions for Joe get into the nitty gritty on the metaphorical pulse of the Marvel Universe, with topics ranging from the size and scope of the X-Men's world to why modern religion doesn't play a stronger role in superhero comics to the announcement of some long-awaited special series and much, much more.
But enough with the jibber-jabber - lets get on with the Q&A, as well as an exclusive sneak peek at art from "Nation X" #2 and future issues of "Amazing Spider-Man"!
CUP O' JOE is Executive Produced by Jonah Weiland and Produced by Kiel Phegley.
Kiel Phegley: All right, Joe! Let's start this week's all fan Q&A with a follow up to something we discussed last week from...I'm not sure how to say. timomcshade?
Joe Quesada: I think it's Timo McShade, or it could just be Tim O. McShade.
I think you're correct! I just have no capitalization. timomcshade asked "I have noticed that War Machine appears to be ending at issue #12. I understand the decision but I will say it was one of the more enjoyable titles I read. I loved the throwback nature of the book. Anyway, in keeping with the second features that are starting to appear in various books, would Rhodey's adventure continue in Invincible Iron Man or even Dark Avengers since Ares refers to War Machine as his champion? I hope so."
Well, Timo...here's the news on that. Despite War machine ending at 12, we will be seeing Rhodey, and we're going to be seeing him on a very regular basis after "Siege" wraps up. Unfortunately, I can't reveal where that will be or what book it will be in, because that tips our hand a bit with respect to the end of the Siege of Asgard and what's going to be going on in our books. You can rest assured that if you're a fan of Rhodey and of the last "War Machine" story arc, you're going to be seeing a LOT of him in the future. On a regular basis. Possibly ongoing.
We know that "Siege" is going to break up Marvel's line of books in terms of letting titles run on their own with less crossovers, but can we also assume that parts of the line will get one more major shift in point of view before they run solo?
That's really the unspoken promise of any event. At the end of the day, if you go through these big stories and nothing happens, you really haven't delivered on your promise to the readers. By the end of "Siege," yes, things will have changed, status quos and characters will be in different places, hopefully, in interesting enough places to keep our readers intrigued, if we do our jobs right. That's the fun of the process. It's not just what happens in the event and who punches who or who dies, It's what transforms the characters and where they end up when it's all said and done. If you ask your readers to invest, and promise them a fun ride, if the characters end up in exactly the same place as where they started before the event, well, then I think you asked them to invest upon a false premise.
podmark asked about backups over in the X-Universe, saying, "In regards to backup stories has there been any consideration in giving Uncanny X-Men a regular backup feature? The X-books have such a huge cast right now (which I like BTW) that lots of characters get pretty light screen time and for a while I've been thinking that a regular backup focusing on different characters or plot points that didn't fit into an arc might be a good idea. Could be done in place or in tandem with the semi regular anthology minis we've been getting like 'Nation X' and 'Manifest Destiny?'"
The idea of backups is a good idea, podmark, and the X-Men group is considering that at the moment. It just depends on the story and the characters that we feel fit well with respect to being backups. But if you're talking about a monthly X-title that wraps up loose ends or visits characters we haven't seen in a while - it's not something we're looking to do at the moment, as it takes a solid hook to try to make something like that sell. Backups that allow us to keep in touch with the more tangential characters and storylines within the X-verse are a more feasible option for us right now.
With such a big cast populating "Uncanny" and the other books these days, how different is the X-Franchise today from when there were so many mutants before "House of M" paired down the mutant population? Have those changes held?
I think they've absolutely held, and a lot of the stories we're telling today we wouldn't have been able to tell without "House of M." It's not so much about how many particular X-Men characters appear on a page. It's more about what's going on tonally in the world of X-Men where they're supposed to be a minority - part of a downtrodden race who is feared and loathed. That particular core metaphor at the heart of X-Men starts to resonate less and less when you bump into mutants around every corner of the Marvel Universe.
There was a time when it felt like, as a reader, you were bumping into mutants everywhere, in every Marvel book. It felt like there were fewer normal people than there were mutants in the world. I mean, I get it, the X franchise is huge, and the temptation is to create more and more mutant characters, but at the end of the day, you still want to create the feeling that they are a small minority, a blip on the screen of the world populace. It's tough to tell stories about what is supposedly an endangered species when they keep popping up everywhere.
The idea was to whittle it down so that the core metaphor, which has always been perfect from the day it was created, could work properly again. Once in place, it allows us to tell stories that put the cast within its own ticking evolutionary clock. So, regardless of whether you see one or ten mutants within an issue, or even a page, tonally the world has been reset to make the reader (again, if we've done our job right) feel like these mutants are scarce and truly struggling for survival. They are still a very small minority and have to watch each others' backs. That's what we wanted to get to, and I think it still stands. If anything, I think Axel and his group have managed to amplify that feeling even more.
Mad_Man_Moon asked a question a while ago that I've wanted to get to, which was, "I'm interminably curious about this subject and how it's addressed at Marvel...Gods, and Christianity, Muslim, Judaism (etc, etc) in particular. The many different pantheons and beliefs are played out multiple times, and yet the Christian God and Devil are never seen (unless I'm mistaken*) in modern times. It seems odd that we acknowledge many gods and see depictions of them (more often than not), but the Christian, Muslim, Jewish (etc, etc) gods never come in to play. Why is this?"
I think there are probably multiple layers to this, Mad_Man_Moon. First of all, the gods of mythology lend themselves more to the superhero genre. They're much more colorful, they are imperfect and their exploits were really more akin to the exploits we've seen done by heroes like those within the Marvel U. All the classic heroes we see in many ways share many traits with the gods of mythology, so it's an easier transition. Also, in most monotheistic religions, you're dealing with an all powerful and infallible deity, which, from a dramatic storytelling point of view, really handcuffs you because of their perfection and ability to solve problems as they desire.
And there is the sensitivity issue. These are religions that are practiced by the majority of the planet, regardless of where you fall, whereas the gods of mythology are not. I think it's a sensitive issue, but more than anything, it's just that the construct of the mythological gods makes for better dramatic storytelling within the pages of a comic book.
That said, from time to time, some aspects of today's modern religions do find themselves into modern comics. I created the Santerians which are characters based upon the Orisha from the religion of Santeria. The Orisha lend themselves beautifully to the comic genre, as does the idea that priests who practice Santeria can become possessed by Orishas. Still, knowing that, I had to be very careful in creating them, because I wanted to be sensitive to those who follow the religion and I wanted to portray the characters in a way that wouldn't be found offensive, but more aspirational. And, while we aren't publishing them, I do know that there are comics out there that use aspects of Islam and Hinduism.
It does seem that there's a little bit of crossover, particularly with characters based on the devil. Something like "One More Day" is built on the folklore aspect of monotheistic religions in stories like "The Devil And Daniel Webster."
Yes it is. In OMD, it's built around the classic Faustian pact.
However, Mephisto is an interesting character within Marvel, I remember reading Stan's account of creating Mephisto. And while he had some of the trappings of Lucifer or Beelzebub, he is not meant to be Satan or have any religious implications. Stan built Mephisto as a super villain, but used the archetypes of the traditional iconography of the devil from classical literature and illustration. He always stopped short of making or naming him Lucifer, Satan or Mephistopheles or saying he was the devil. I get why he would create a character like this; it's low hanging fruit. The devil, or the idea of a devil, has been one of the greatest villains and mischief makers in literature for centuries. But, Stan most likely didn't want to start digging in and entrenching this super villain character that would interact inside a superhero universe within Christianity or any other religion. Also, there were probably greater sensitivities to doing this during the '60s than there would be later, as we created characters in the '70s like Daimon Hellstrom: Son of Satan - who incidentally is not Mephisto's kid. So, while some may look at a character like Mephisto and say, "Hey, he's Lucifer," I would venture to say that he is something else.
Speaking of ultimate villains and their role, Altercator asked about Norman Osborn's future, saying, "However long the Siege or 'The Gauntlet' will last, will Spider-Man ever, in some way, kick Norman's ass [to come] full circle? C'mon, it makes sense. Magneto gets his by Wolverine and the X-Men at the end of 'House of M.' Why not Norm & Pete?"
I don't know why Pete can't, Altercator. I guess you'll have to read the books to find out if he does! [Laughs] I'm not going to tell you what happens!
Though, in a story sense, can Spidey ever "win" and still be Spidey?
Peter always has his little victories along the way, but like everything in any of our lives, his life will never be perfect. And it shouldn't be perfect, because then you'd have no stories to tell. You'd have a boring character that would just walk off into the sunset, so there always has to be dramatic conflict. And the thing about Peter is that he is that loveable loser, but he's not a sad sack, per se. That's the beauty of Peter Parker:Â even though things don't always go 100% right (which they don't in life), he's able to pick himself up by the bootstraps and always see his glass as half full. Even on his worst day. You'll see some bad moments, and life will suck, but he'll get back up again. And I think that's what people love about Peter Parker, whether they know it or not. Even through all the hardship and losses, he still remains Peter Parker at heart. He does what he does for the greater good and for the people he loves. That's what we admire and what makes him a great hero. Once you give him the trappings of a great and perfect life, he becomes less interesting with each of those things.
Hopefully Azure had this book in his hands since last week, but we're just now getting to when he asked, "What lies ahead for The Winter Guard? Are there any plans for them beyond the bound-to-be-brilliant one-shot?"
As I've always said: comics are very democratic. There's always a good chance that fans will respond to the book, and the book sells. But you can see the members of the Winter Guard in last weeks "Iron Man Vs. Whiplash" and also in "Black Widow: Deadly Origin," so they are showing up in other places. This is all up to the fans like Azure, so stay tuned. If you dig it, you will be seeing more and more Winter Guard. I guarantee it.
Consistent question asker Spidey616 is back again this week, and I'm sure some board folks bristle as his frequent success rate, but he asks great questions that no one else thinks of!
He does! He knows his Marvel. What can I tell you? I've often cited Spidey616 as our #1 fan. He comes to all the events. He's at every convention. He's a great guy, and he knows his Marvel stuff.
This week, he asked, "I was wondering what the status was of Reginald Hudlin and Denys Cowan's 'Captain America/Black Panther: Flags of Our Fathers' mini that was announced last summer since it hasn't been solicited yet?"
That's going to be out this April of 2010. It's four issues by Reggie Hudlin, Denys Cowan and inked by Klaus Janson. Look for it!
Vinnie Maphia inquired on the status of another gestating project, asking, "Whatever happened to 'Punisher: The People v Frank Castle' that Marc Guggenheim and Lenil Yu were doing back in 2006? Did it go the way of 'Punisher/Nick Fury: Rules of the Game' or somethin'?"
Vinnie, this is actually coming out. We're looking for it in March of 2010. It will have a new title, and it's two issues as planned.
To wrap with one more question on that European original project people have heard about but are waiting for real word on, Excelsior asked, "Hey Joe, I just read the solicit for GLI INCREDIBILI X-MEN - RAGAZZE IN FUGA by [Milo] Manara and [Chris] Claremont. Will you be importing that book to the states with English translation?"
Excelsior! We will absolutely be printing it here in the States. You can look for a big announcement about that coming up shortly. We haven't talked much about it yet, but you can expect it to be translated, and it is absolutely gorgeous and a great story to boot.
And while we're on the line, Joe, I wanted to enlist your help. I'm talking to Stan Lee in about a half an hour for the site. Anything I should ask him?
Just ask Stan how he remains so gosh darn good lookin'! Does he have any tips for me? I'm starting to look pretty haggard here. [Laughter]

London Cycling Campaign)
Today we are mourning another cyclist, in another collision with a large vehicle, at another notorious set of junctions, in London.
This time it was High Holborn in Camden, where LCC has already protested, in 2013, following the death of Alan Neve. This is the fourth cycling fatality in this small tangle of one-way streets and junctions in five years.
Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the victim today. While we don't know the cause of this collision, we do know that High Holborn joins a growing list of junctions known to be hostile and dangerous, where in 2018, someone cycling has been killed or seriously injured. Alongside Woolwich Roundabout and Old Street, these are also junctions where action to improve them has been delayed or obstructed.
This is not good enough. In a city which our Mayor has promised will become a 'byword for cycling', the progress on delivering safe space for cycling has been unacceptably slow. We need the Mayor to instruct TfL to make good his promise, including the Mayor's Sign for Cycling pledges to LCC members and supporters, to roll out much more protected cycle tracks fast, and fix the most dangerous junctions as soon as possible.
Join us in protesting at Holborn on Monday, from 5:30PM, to send a strong message to the Mayor, TfL and London's Councils that they need to pick up the pace. They needs to break this lethal pattern.
When: Monday 20 August
Arrive from: 5:30pm
Ride starts: 6:00pm
Start location: Russell Square, Bloomsbury, London WC1B 5BE
End location: Bloomsbury Square Gardens, London WC1A 2RJ

Imagery in Agriculture: Some Sage Advice
SatShot President Lanny Faleide has been a fixture on the remote imagery scene for as long as about anyone still trying to make the technology work for agriculture. He was one of the first people we met back in the late 1990s as we were trying to understand what the new thing called "precision agriculture" was all about.
So as we wrapped up this issue featuring a special report on row crop imagery, we thought it would be appropriate to get some perspective on where he is, where we are, and where the industry needs to go to truly move imagery as a must-use tool in crop production.
PAg Pro: How did you get started on imagery in the first place?
Lanny Faleide: I took the first image of my field back in 1977 with near-infrared film (remember that stuff?). I never processed it because it couldn't be done locally, but I didn't need to. That day I discovered something I didn't really want to know — my fields did not look good. Yes, this wet-behind-the-ears flying farmer found out that looking at fields from above revealed they had problems.
Twenty years later, in 1997, the first actionable Variable Rate Application (VRA) image from a satellite was done on my central North Dakota field, yet the industry still seems confused about VRA using an image to this day.
Every imagery product — from satellites, aerial sources, or UAVs — are great tools, and each source acquires data at different scales: satellites at 1 to 30 meters, airplanes at sub meter, and UAVs at sub inch.
But why this data is great is that it reveals from above where the problem and good areas are, and puts them in a mapped context to navigate from. Nothing more, nothing less. The near-infrared wavelength allows you to quantify vegetation (through an algorithm) to compare biomass at different times and detect [qualify] changes.
PAg Pro: What keeps you going in this market?
LF: This is my 23rd year being a professional vendor of satellite imagery in the precision ag industry, and many may wonder why I am still doing this. I guess it's because I love being a detective. Every field has a different story and I like to discover it! I've even been called precision agriculture imagery's elder statesman. (Sounds suspiciously like being put out to pasture!)
But, I have learned a lot, and the principles are the same as they were back when I first observed my fields from the air 40 years ago. The key is this: determine vegetation anomalies through geo-referenced pixels, relate it to the agronomic condition, and then do something about it. (That is to say, make a decision about it, even if that decision is to do nothing.) Change the yield potential by appropriately applying fertilizer, seed, or chemical where it's needed, and not applying it where it is not needed.
PAg Pro: Are we closer to getting to that happy place where imagery finds a solid role in the precision agriculture regimen than we were two decades ago?
LF: We are closer to getting to that "happy place" where imagery finds a solid role in precision ag than we were two decades ago, but there are still doubters and cynics, and they have this elder statesman scratching his head.
Is it the technology that we are intimidated by? Or is it too simple? Do we really need to combine 10 different layers and make it complicated — to define that this anomaly is a hill or low area — before we do something about it?
Let your crops tell you the answer; listen to them, if you will. If "reading" the crop is problematic, study up. Research online or take a class to learn about soils, soil structure, how plants grow, and how they react to stimuli.
PAg Pro: What has to happen for us to get there?
LF: Fortunately — or unfortunately — there are no magic formulas in the vegetation index world. So laziness or lackadaisical attitudes will not reveal the man behind the curtain, and will not get the work done. Remember, it's all just biomass with different hats on.
If you need any more incentive, currently an image of any field — in any place in the world — is shot every 5 days (except when prohibited by weather events), then sent to a machine in less than 5 minutes.
The answers are there. Pay attention to your crops. Listen. Evaluate. Respond.
That's the answer to precision agriculture success.

Director-General Advocates for Education at "Girl Summit" in London
UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova stressed that education is one of the most effective ways to avert child marriage at the first "Girl Summit 2014," held in a south London school on 22 July 2014.
The Summit, hosted by the Government of the United Kingdom and UNICEF, aims to galvanize international support to inspire efforts to end female genital mutilation and child, early and forced marriage (CEFM) within a generation. Speakers included United Kingdom Prime Minister David Cameron, the Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina, the Deputy Prime Minister of Ethiopia Demeke Mekonnen, the first lady of Burkina Faso Chantal Compaoré, activist Malala Yousafzai and numerous ministers of health, social affairs and international development, as well as civil society advocates and campaigners.
Legislation, education, job opportunities and community advocacy were flagged by all speakers as winning strategies to counter what Prime Minister Cameron described as a violation of girls' rights and "preventable evil" that calls for a "global movement." More than 700 million women alive today were married as children, of which 250 million before age 15, while some 130 million girls worldwide are affected by female genital mutilation.
"All political leaders here today have stressed the hugely important role of education for averting early childhood marriage," said Ms Bokova. "Poverty is one of the main reasons that prevents parents from sending their girls to school. This is why in all our strategies, starting with the post-2015 agenda, we are putting the emphasis on free and compulsory primary and secondary education – this primarily benefits girls. "
According to UNESCO's Global Monitoring Report, if all girls had secondary education in sub-Saharan Africa and South and West Asia, child marriage would fall by 64% and early births by 59%
Ms Bokova also insisted on the need to focus on young adolescent girls and the transition to puberty, when the risks of dropping out of school rise. "Trained female teachers, gender-sensitive textbooks, safe schools are all important. But we also have to work with families, with traditional and religious leaders, and with girls themselves, so that they understand what is at stake, including through puberty education."
Malala Yousafzai affirmed that the "best solution is education – education makes girls independent and realize they have equal rights". Many speakers reflected on how to change social norms and traditions. "Traditions are not sent from God. We make culture and we have the right to change it."
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina reported on a full set of measures, from strong legislation, free textbooks, stipends for girls through secondary school and beyond and community based innovations to fight early marriage. Deputy Prime Minister Mekonnen related efforts to break taboos in Ethiopia through decentralized authority, community involvement and ownership, advocacy and more effective education systems. Ms Compaoré stressed that nothing can be done without political will at the highest level and noted that Burkina Faso is introducing modules on female genital mutilation in teacher training courses for the next school year.
A Charter adopted at the Summit affirms that "these practices violate the fundamental rights of all girls and women to live free from violence and discrimination" and sets out ten actions to end them, ranging from legislation and policies to data, research and investment in education and health.
UNESCO committed to intensify high-level policy advocacy to keep and bring back girls to school, to reinforce normative action and increase support to Member States to promote safe and enabling learning environments for girls.

With only a quarter of Americans aged 16 and older making time for volunteering at least once a year, volunteerism is at a record low in the United States.
That's according to a 2014 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report.
This week on Full Frame – empowering the next generation of volunteers to make an impact, worldwide.
Tune into Full Frame on CCTV America at 7:00 pm ET on June 4, 2016. Or watch the live stream of the program at www.cctvamericalive.com.
Nancy Lublin: Inspiring young people to action
A social entrepreneur, author, and philanthropist, Nancy Lublin's online marketing and social media prowess has empowered a new generation of "do-ers."
Her first foray into the non-profit world was the founding of "Dress For Success", which promoted economic independence for disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, networking, and career development tools to help them succeed. Fifteen years later, Dress for Success is now in 19 countries and has helped more than 850,000 women work towards self-sufficiency.
Lublin was named one of the World's 50 Greatest Leaders by business magazine, Fortune, and awarded "Social Entrepreneur of the Year" in 2014 by the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship.
Her latest venture, Crisis Text Line, is a 24/7-support line for young people who are experiencing emotional crisis. Growing rapidly since its creation in 2011, counselors currently receive 15 million texts each day.
Nancy Lublin joins Mike Walter to discuss what she has learned about inspiring and motivating young people to give back in their communities and take action to make an impact.
Teen Volunteers: A commitment to servingWhile people choose to volunteer for a variety of reasons, most say they do it because they simply want to do something good for others. That desire and commitment to volunteerism holds true for this week's panelists.
Steven Rosenthal is the executive director of Cross-Cultural Solutions, which he founded in 1995. A New York native, Steven is an expert in international development and volunteerism.
Riley Gallagher is a teenager who's committed to serving India's most vulnerable children. Last summer, she participated in the Cross-Cultural Solutions' High School Volunteer Abroad program and considers India her 'home away from home'.
And, Eliana Stanislawski is a campaign chair for the U.S. 'Day of the Girl' movement. She works tirelessly for girls' human rights and to celebrate the unique and important contributions of girls.
Steven Rosenthal, Riley Gallagher and Eliana Stanislawski join Mike Walter in our New York studio to discuss their commitment to serving.
Yawei Liu – Volunteerism in AsiaSince 2001, when the United Nations designated an 'International Year of Volunteers', China's public perception of volunteering, particularly among its youth, has evolved.
In the past decade, millions of people have volunteered during key national events in China, bringing increased attention to social services and the country's development goals.
Yawei Liu is the director of the China Program at the Carter Center and the associate director of the China Research Center in Atlanta, Georgia. He is also an adjunct professor of Political Science at Emory University.
Yawei Liu joins Mike Walter in our New York studio to discuss the state of volunteerism in China and what the next generation may bring.
Ziad Ahmed: Fighting discriminationSixteen-year-old Ziad Ahmed is a Bangladeshi-American Muslim living in Princeton, New Jersey. He attended a Catholic elementary school. It was here, shortly after the September 11th, 2001 terror attacks in the United States, that he saw, firsthand, the misconceptions and prejudice people had about Islam.
Ziad saw a need to speak out— to have a voice, not just for him, but for others who felt alone in defending who they are and where they come from.
Two years ago, he started a website called "Redefy", designed as a place for young people to share their stories, online, in order to help others defy stereotypes and embrace acceptance.
His activism became so renowned and popular that he was recognized by the White House and his efforts earned him a seat at President Barack Obama's dinner table this past summer.
Ziad Ahmed joins Mike Walter in our New York studio to share more about "Redefy" and finding his own voice.

Underdogs Issue 2 Page 12
I like to experiment a lot with my pages and see what works for me.
After those last two pages that took ever bit of my art anima. I wanted to do more than just 3 panel pages and see what I could really fit in with enough hard work and angles. And thus this 8 panel page was born! I have to double check but I think this page actually borrowed some of the panels from the next scripted page to help make that splash happen.
It did.
It was a lot of hard work but I absolutely loved what came across in this page.
One of the biggest themes of Underdogs are the challenges that one faces in a life, both emotional and physical. The main one shown here being the Colonel's sacrifices to a long life of heroics. It will be eventually touched on, but he was one of the more well known Capes of his generation. Old injuries do not stop him from being a commanding presence, or a true force to be reckoned with and I wanted to bring that across. The Colonel has always been a mixture of Clint Eastwood and Wes Studi in my mind, so you can see the intensity I strive for.
Also if you are looking back, this was the first real page that I started to really not be afraid of using shadows, and tried to use them to define the forms rather than cling to the edges. Using multiple layers to aid with getting the images to seem alive on the page, that has really influenced my art since. Gosh, I really do like this page, it's a blast to look back and just see the little things I did or what I would touch on differently now.
As Always, Thanks for Reading!

Review: Contrail by Kane IkinBy David Smith. Posted in Ambient, Drone, Electronic, Reviews | No Comments »
The other day I spent a while listening to a couple of free ambient netlabel releases that turned out to be just OK. Don't get me wrong, there are many, many excellent free netlabel releases. These were just not two of them. They brought some interesting sounds together, but lost any sense of the space between them, ending up projecting a kind of mushy hum with various little noises floating stickily in the porridge as it gurgled thickly by. Returning after that listening foray to Kane Ikin's new EP on 12k records was an exercise in contrasts. Anything that comes out on 12k is going to be painstakingly assembled and mastered, and this recording is no exception. It too works with stretched tones and assorted small sounds, but especially on headphones it opens them up into a delicate and spacious conversation.
As the EP begins and the title track unfolds, small percussive noises are set against contrasting high/low tones to create an envelope, and then plucked guitar notes and small buzzes enter the space and stand out precisely against the warm background wash of sound. There's a clear sense of things happening at different places in the sound field, and the arrangement of the elements creates a palpable sense of space even as the composition flows unhurriedly onward.
Ikin has released a number of excellent recordings as half of the Australian duo Solo Andata. This use of acoustic guitar as a focal point against a background of more ambient sounds is a little reminiscent of Solo Andata's debut, Fyris Swan. Since then, Solo Andata have specialized in gathering small, evocative, organic sounds from field recordings and weaving them with instruments into darkly atmospheric sound worlds, culminating thus far in the recent (and rather creepy) Ritual. For me, their 2009 self-titled CD on 12k remains a favorite, especially the magnificent opening track, 'Ablation', which assembles drones, cello, piano, sounds evocative of insects and water, angelic voices, and what I always find myself imagining as the chugging of a barge engine on a river at night, and orchestrates them flawlessly into a magical journey for the mind.
Contrail proceeds with a somewhat different aesthetic. There is less of a sense of narrative, with a warmer, hazier, more shoegazey atmosphere and a greater sense of stasis in place of the suspense of many Solo Andata tracks. The overall feel is lazy and relaxed, but with small details bringing the foreground alive and slight shifts of tone keeping the background from lapsing into immobility. Sometimes the plucked guitar returns, sometimes the detail is provided by percussive sounds or guitar scrapes and drones or a gentle crackle, all carefully located in relation to one another and against a soft, deep field of ambient sound. The listener is offered both soothing relaxation and scope for attending to precise shades and gestures; the effect is at times rather like reclining in a warm bath while letting your eye rest on the detailed tracery of an etching hanging on the wall.
If you've followed 12k's recent evolution, you'll find Contrail continuing the tradition of thoughtful, high quality releases. If you are new to the label, but think you might enjoy being serenaded with careful, delicate sounds, this might be an inviting place to begin.

Poems from Paisley:
Part 1
(I like the alliteration)
While my posts are usually orignal content from me, I have a special friend, whose poetry tickles my soul! Paisley and I have been friends for over a year and a half now and its safe to say that he is my best friend. He's magical and very talented and if you've been following my blog for awhile you may recognize him. He's been gifted with a knack for poetry, and this is one of my favorite poems. His work on tumblr (click here to check his out) has finally gotten some recognition that it deserves and one of his followers,12ee, (feel free to check out her blog too, she does some amazing arts click here) drew a glorious picture to accompany this poem.
Dear small spirit,
I cannot speak to you.
So rends my soul in two pieces.
You have flown
from my sphere,
your existence is mythical.
You are gold at the end of the rainbow.
Nessie, I wish to get lost
and locked
into your loch
lest I am found sunken.
Through pines
like window shades
I peer for a glimpse of Sasquatch walking
barefooted upon bristles
like jewels.
Touch my arm
one more time, sweet Midas.
That I might
once again feel rich.
Let me know what you think,
have a wonderful day
and please keep it sassy,
also enjoy this picture of the two of us looking kawaii desu.

The Dark Side at Dubai Mall
10 months ago
Love that station. Is the Indian restaurant still there across the street. I ate there many years ago so it might not.
Yep, it's still there. Never eaten there, though.
I ate there 9 years ago and I seem to remember it being pretty good.

Kitty Genovese: The Murder, the Bystanders, the Crime that Changed America
The 1964 murder of Catherine "Kitty" Genovese has become a defining moment in American social history. Early reporting described how she was stabbed to death on the front stoop of her New York City home in full view of 38 neighbors who "didn't want to get involved."
Fifty years after that notorious crime, Kevin Cook argues in his new book that much of what we think we know about the incident is just plain wrong.
Cook writes for Sports Illustrated, Playboy, Men's Health, and other magazines and has appeared on ESPN, Fox Television, and CNN.

We are very proud to have hosted our 3rd Annual Night of Fashion on February 23rd at Anya Bridal Warehouse. It's amazing the amount of work, dedication and event professionals it takes to pull off a successful event. And we want to thank them ALL! Along with showing off how fabulous the night was to anyone who missed it. It was a dreary week in Atlanta with misty rain and then flood warnings but hey that didn't stop us from creating a night to remember.
We had Brides, Grooms, Family & Friends and wonderful Event Professionals that filled the space with an energetic vibe. Anya is closed on Tuesday's so we had the day to clear the floor of over 70 mannequins in beautiful vignettes into a runway show anyone would be envious of. Anya Bridal has over 11,000 square feet to work with (it's like 5 retail stores in one) so we had lots of space to work with and to fill with fabulous décor and guests!
The gallery was completely transformed thanks to Geri Sims Sheer Drapery & Track Seven Events and Décor. Geri provided us with what felt like miles of drape to give us a wonderful backdrop for the furnishings, décor, bars, runway and of course the "Take the Plunge" ballpit from T7E.
Wow did we have fun! Because every fashion show needs to have ladies in formal gowns and gentlemen in tuxedos falling and jumping into an adult version of the best part of being a kid at Chuckie Cheese… Right! If you don't believe me, you will when you see the photos.
The runway was complete with 6 fabulous female models of all different shapes and sizes so our brides in attendance could really see how the gowns looked. With over 1600 gowns in stock ranging from size 0 – 32 we also wanted our runway to reflect our cliental.
Of course we couldn't forget our gorgeous grooms to be with 2 models featuring some fab looks from Savvi Formalwear! Don't take our word for it Laura Stone captured all these amazing photos so you can see it for yourself.
All our guests were also delighted with some amazing food from Hyatt Villa Christina some scrumptious sweets from Perfect Wedding Cake and our Night of Fashion would not have been complete without Derek from Mobil Cocktails Atl. Don't worry if you missed this year because we will be back again next with our 4th Annual Night of Fashion!
HUGE Thank You to all the amazing Event Professionals that made this fabulous event happen!

Manslaughter (Passion)
When a person is provoked to commit homicide in New Jersey, the criminal charge is often passion-provocation manslaughter. These murders happen fast and can involve sudden rage where the individual has little time to rationalize their actions. In these cases, while the charge would normally be classified as murder, a downgraded charge of passion/provocation manslaughter (N.J.S.A. 2C:11-4(B)(2)) may be obtained under NJ law.
Camden County criminal defense attorney Jill R. Cohen, Esq. has been recognized by the Supreme Court of the State of New Jersey as a certified criminal trial lawyer. Very few attorneys in NJ receive this honor, which is bestowed on a legal professional who meets the state Supreme Court's incredibly high standards. Ms. Cohen will fight your charges and defend your rights. She will do everything possible to protect your freedom and your future, whether you've been charged with "heat of passion" manslaughter in Gloucester City, Cherry Hill, Franklin Township, Atlantic City, Egg Harbor, or anywhere else in South Jersey.
Even when passion manslaughter is not the initial charge, an aggressive Camden criminal defense attorney can negotiate with prosecutors in an effort to get the charges downgraded. This is important because a New Jersey manslaughter charge carries significantly less severe penalties than a first degree charge such as murder.
Ms. Cohen will fiercely defend you against your NJ homicide charges. She will seek to prove you or a loved one was provoked in a way that would incite a reasonable person to act in the "heat of passion." To do this, she may attempt to successfully show that:
Be aware that having a "bad temper" or mental disturbance does not lower the expectations for what constitutes a "heat of passion" action.
Anyone convicted of this second degree felony charge in New Jersey will face 5-10 years in NJ State Prison. There is an accompanying fine that can reach up to $150,000 as well. This charge is included in New Jersey's No Early Release Act (NERA), which calls for 85 percent of a term to be served before the individual is eligible for parole and release from prison. Compared to a murder or aggravated manslaughter charge in New Jersey, passion/provocation penalties require significantly less prison time and lower fines.
This is why you should waste no time in contacting the Law Office of Jill R. Cohen, Esq. if you or a loved one is facing charges for any serious violent crime in South Jersey, including passion manslaughter. Ms. Cohen will get to work immediately defending you and protecting your future.
When you are facing criminal charges with consequences that will affect you and your family for years to come, it's essential that you obtain legal assistance from a dedicated Camden County criminal lawyer. Skilled South Jersey criminal attorney Jill Cohen has been practicing criminal law for more than 30 years. She is also a former prosecutor in Camden County, giving her experience that she will use to your advantage.
For a free consultation with a New Jersey criminal defense lawyer who will provide personalized attention and relentless dedication each step of the way, contact the Law Office of Jill R. Cohen today. Ms. Cohen will answer your questions, explain your options, and get started fighting for justice for you and your family.
As an assistant prosecutor Ms. Cohen litigated complex motions for the State, was an acting Camden City Municipal Prosecutor, and indicted over 800 cases before the Camden County Grand Jury. Ms. Cohen handled hundreds of indictable/felony and juvenile cases and tried numerous jury trials, in areas such as drug possession and distribution, school zone violations, domestic violence, aggravated assault, fraud, burglary, robbery, child sexual assault, child physical abuse, homicides, attempted murder and other crimes of magnitude.
With over 30 years in the criminal justice system, Ms. Cohen has developed a great working relationship with members of the local justice system. Ms. Cohen uses her vast experience to get her clients the best possible results.
Ms. Cohen leaves no stones unturned when she builds aggressive defense strategies designed to obtain the best possible outcome for her clients.
The New Jersey Supreme Court's Attorney Certification Program is designed to help the public make sound and informed choices when deciding to hire an attorney. While there are over 60,000 practicing attorneys in the state of New Jersey, fewer than 250 New Jersey lawyers have been recognized by the NJ Supreme Court as Certified Criminal Trial Attorneys. Camden County criminal lawyer Jill Cohen has been recognized as an NJ Supreme Court Certified Criminal Trial Attorney every year since 2008. To become a Certified Criminal Trial Attorney, Ms. Cohen received recommendations from her peers and judges throughout South Jersey.
Regardless of the incidents that led up to your arrest, every resident of New Jersey has the constitutional right to a fair trial. If you have been arrested or are being investigated, you need sound legal advice. Contact me today.

Holistic Weight Loss Program
In this audio course I share with you my secrets for getting to the perfect weight for you. This is an easy-to-implement holistic weight loss approach that covers the areas of mindset, habits, diet, exercise, energy and emotions.
If you've tried alternative weight loss approaches before, but felt they were too restrictive, where the creators expected you to stop eating foods you liked, my weight loss approach may be right for you!
For example: With this program, you do not have to become a vegetarian, go on a challenging cleanse where you are only drinking liquids for a week, or pledge to never eat a slice of cheesecake ever again.
My weight loss approach is meant for real people. This means, I will never tell you to stop eating any specific kind of food (unless you are allergic to it). Instead, I will give you options and encouragement to choose to add healthier foods to your diet, gradually.
I place a big premium on exercise, but I provide strategies to make exercise work for you. If you hate exercise or think you don't have the time, I share some techniques for shifting those beliefs so you can exercise in a way that makes you feel great.
I also talk about energy (chi) and how emotions can get stuck in the energetic body, thus causing weight gain in the physical body. You'll learn some techniques to clear this energy, which is one of the missing pieces in many weight loss approaches.
You will receive:
+ 6 audio lectures sharing the secrets getting your mind, body and spirit on board with weight loss.
+ Two additional audio files with powerful acupressure techniques (EFT) to help you get into the right mindset.
+ A hypnosis audio for weight loss.
+ A bonus audio explaining a simple meditative process to help clear negative emotions and resistance.
+ A PDF manual with exercises, techniques and tips.
+ Additional resources to help you along your path.
I provide my information in an easy-going, informal manner. No guilt-trips, just lots of encouragement and information!
I value this course at $75. I am offering it at a special introductory price of $40.
Course is delivered electronically - nothing physical is shipped.

6 - Stan Nganga - Surrender - Kenya Debut - Kena - Uptoyou - up2u 0003
If you look up Moondog on Wikipedia, you may share my astonishment that this wayward, eccentric New York street musician was allowed and even encouraged to make so many recordings back in the 1950s and '60s, now being anthologised by the remarkable Honest Jons label. Any notion of the music industry as a corrupt and money-obsessed maelstrom is confounded by listening to Moondog's music – who were those philanthropists who recorded him so often, what were they thinking? As to what was in his mind, it's impossible to guess, although it is reported that he was obsessed with Native Americans and their music.
The song you hear by Tonino Carotone is not the one I chose, whose lyric apparently means something improper, even vulgar. This album has been sitting on my shelf for years, but recently came back into the must-play pile after Manu Chao drew attention to it in the recent Radio Ping Pong on World on 3. Manu himself was involved in producing and playing on some tracks, but not this one. Tonino is a confusing character; he was actually Spanish but he pretended to be an Italian Gypsy/gangster.
The next two tracks are both from albums released a few years ago.
Isaar is a singer from Pernambuco in North East Brazil who featured on tracks by DJ Dolores and released her own album Azul Claro three years ago. I set it aside as 'disappointing' at the time, but Howard Male has pulled my attention back to it and I agree with him that it bears comparison with the best of CéU, the Sao Paolo singer whose recent work we have both championed.
Elena Ledda
Elena Ledda is probably the only current Sardinian singer widely acknowledged as being world-class. Having been enthralled when she recently featured in a remarkable showcase of Sardinian music at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, I went back to the title track of her album from about six years ago.
Dub Colossus.
Every month a panel of over 50 European world music DJs contribute their current top tens to co-ordinators Johannes Theurer and Tobias Maier in Berlin, who collate the list into a monthly top ten. Sometimes baffled by choices which can be so different from my own, I am occasionally gratified to find when we are of one accord, as with the album A Town Called Addis, a new interpretation of Ethiopian music by British producer Nick Page under his arresting alias, Dub Colossus.
Stan Nganga
The vast majority of records by African singers and musicians played in these programmes were actually produced in Europe, so that very little of the income actually goes back into the economies of the source countries. The Dutch NGO which operates under the name Up To You Too is a notable exception, financing studio equipment in Nairobi, Kenya, and training local engineers and producers to make music with the minimum of filtering through European sensibilities. I'm not quite sure how the whole process works, but artists who recently surfaced through this operation include the rapper Goreala and vocalist Stan Nganga. For the second week in a row, we feature a track from Stan's debut album.

These pancakes are a breakfast favourite in Lauren's house (with regular requests for "panpakes" from her 19-month old). They're light and fluffy and are so quick to make. We often have them as a treat on a weekend, but they work for a midweek treat and snack, too. Healthy, filling, very tasty and perfect for all the family…what's not to love?!
This recipe is adapted from a great book called Me, You and the Kids, Too by Renee Elliot, and has taken a few months to fine-tune into light, fluffy pancakes!
Without further ado, here goes…
Feeds: Two adults and one child (or two hungry adults! Just increase amounts if you have more mouths to feed).
Time: 15 minutes, tops!
1 cup of plain flour
1/2 cup of wholemeal flour or wholemeal spelt
1 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
1/4-1/2 pint milk (oat milk and lacto-free milk work just as well)
1/8 cup caster sugar or unrefined sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Butter or spread for cooking
Fruit (whatever is in season…raspberries, strawberries and blueberries are perfect at the moment)
- Mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and sugar in a bowl.
- Add the eggs to the mixture and stir, and then add the milk slowly a bit at a time and whisk until you have a thick gloopy pancake mixture (you might find you don't need all the milk, it depends on the flour). Add the optional vanilla extract at this point.
- Heat up the frying pan on a medium heat and add a small knob of butter / margarine. When it's melted, wipe it around the pan with a kitchen towel (this removes any excess and makes the first batch of pancakes better!).
- Using a ladle, either pour three lots of mixture into the pan (half a ladle each), or you can make one big one (the mixture is enough for three big pancakes or nine little ones).
- Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes until bubbles begin to rise to the surface and the underside is golden, and then flip them over and cook for a couple more minutes on the other side until golden (they should rise at this stage).
- Do the same for two more batches and pile the pancakes on a plate.
- Serve with fruit and yoghurt. Yummy!
Why not try…
- Sprinkling some blueberries onto the pancake mixture once you've poured it into the pan, and pressing them into the pancakes, gives them a delicious fruity twist as the warmed blueberries burst with flavour when you bite into them. Be careful to cool before serving to little ones, as they get very hot.
- There is a glut of berries at the moment, why not use it to make a fruit compote to accompany the pancakes (delicious!). Here's a great and adaptable recipe from BBC Good Food.

There are multiple ways updates can be deployed through WSUS to client machines ("client machines" mean clients of the WSUS server - the machines may be running either client or server operating systems). This posting describes these mechanisms and the way they can be controlled by the administrator in order to ensure unexpected changes do not occur.
· Explicit approval. An administrator can explicitly approve an update for installation to a group of machines.
· Auto-reapprove revisions. By default, when a new revision of an approved update is synchronized to the WSUS server we move the approval to the new revision. Normally this is what customers want, since new revisions never contain new binaries, just fixes to the metadata that describe how to automate the installation of the update. However we had one incident when a new revision of the Windows Desktop Search update changed the metadata so that the new revision was offered to *all* machines but the old revision was offered only to machines with older versions of Desktop Search installed, which caused it to be deployed more widely than expected for many customers (see http://blogs.technet.com/wsus/archive/2007/10/25/wds-revision-update-expanded-applicability-rules-auto-approve-revisions.aspx for details). Since then, we've added processes to ensure this type of change will not happen again. The administrator has direct control over this and can disable the option to auto-reapprove revisions.
o Warning: turning off auto-reapprove revisions can create problems if the administrator has "definition updates" (signatures) in their synchronization options, because definition updates get created and expired fairly quickly and the expired ones won't get auto-unapproved. As described in KB 938947, this can quickly lead to having too many updates approved which can cause problems for client-server communication. If auto-reapprove revisions is turned off, the administrator will need to manage revisions themselves; looking for older revisions that are approved and either unapproving them (if the new revision is marked "expired") or move the approval to the new revision. We have provided a PowerShell sample script at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/scripts/sus/server/susvms09.mspx that can be used to manage revisions.
· Auto-approve WSUS updates. Some updates are marked as "infrastructure" updates, which means they are needed by WSUS or WUA for proper detection and scanning for many updates. These updates include MSI 3.1. WSUS creates approval rules to these by default, since they are necessary for the update system to work properly. The administrator has direct control over this and can disable the option to auto-approve WSUS updates. If disabled, WSUS will notify the admin in the home page (TODO list) that there are unapproved WSUS updates, which can lead to infrastructure problems (e.g., if MSI 3.1 is not installed on client machines, then many updates including Office Updates, can't be properly detected).
· Auto-approval rules. Administrators can create custom rules to auto-approve updates (e.g., auto-approve all security updates to all computers, or auto-approve all updates to a test target group). The administrator has direct control over this and there are no auto-approval rules enabled by default.
· Initial client self-update. When a WSUS client's Windows Update Agent (WUA) first synchronizes against a WSUS server, it checks if the server has a newer version of the agent available in the servers "self-update" tree. If a newer version is available, the agent will self-update before completing the synchronization. Although Automatic Updates will check for self-update on every synchronization, the self update will only occur on the first synchronization unless the admin explicitly applies an update to the WSUS servers self-update tree (the next scenario).
o Note: Newer versions of WUA on a particular operating system are backwards-compatible with the older versions of WSUS that support that operating system. So after WUA self-updates to the latest version, the client can later be managed by an older WSUS server if desired. The agent never "self-downgrades" (it will stay on the latest version of WUA when talking to an older server).
· Subsequent client self-updates. The WSUS team may provide an update to the WSUS server itself that modifies the client self-update tree on the server. As of this writing, only two such update have been released; WSUS 2 SP1 (which modified the WSUS 2 self-update tree) and KB 936301 (which modified the WSUS 2 SP1 self-update tree). Such updates flow to the WSUS server as normal updates. If the admin approves such an update for install on the WSUS server, then the WSUS server self-update tree will be updated and subsequently all clients that synchronize against the server will self-update. The administrator has direct control over this since clients will only perform this subsequent self-update if the administrator approves an update to the self-update tree.
· Update from Microsoft Update. End users on client machines can go to Windows Update or Microsoft Update and install updates (and WUA self-updates) directly. The administrator has direct control over this since they can configure the Windows Update Agent to disallow end-user access to Windows Update and Microsoft Update.
WSUS and AU have log files that allow customers to understand when and why a given update was installed on a machine:
· The Windows Update Agent has a log file "%windir%\WindowsUpdate.log" with verbose logging on updates that have been installed.
· WSUS 3.0 has a log file "%Program Files%\Update Services\LogFiles\changes.log" that contains a record of all recent approvals and who made them. If the approval was created automatically (e.g., auto-reapprove revision, auto-approval rule, or auto-approve WSUS updates), the user in the log will be "WSUS Service".

Fly Fishing Hilton Head and Savannah
Posted by Capt. Scott Wagner on August 30, 2011 at 06:38 am
To say the least we have been busting some nice reds around town. The other day my customer and I were idling up a creek getting ready for some tailing red fishing and what do ya know, Tarpon rolling and busting mullet in the grass. We set up and had a few shots but missed the shot of the day with a 70-80lbs fish cruising on the surface and chasing bait behind the boat. By the the time I spun around the fish had worked his way further down the creek and then was gone. We didn't hook up, but things were exciting for a while. Seems as though a bunch of fish have slid in shore to feed hard on mullet getting ready for the big move south. I was looking at the advertised guides on google the other day and not one of them are set up for fly fishing very well, big bay boats are not going to cut it on spooky shallow water reds. As a customer you need to find out what kind of boat the guide is using and how many fly fishing trips they run. Don't get fooled by a bait fishing guide that is trying to make some money taking people fly fishing. You will fly fish for a few minutes and then be told the tides are not right and end up bait fishing.

How Long Does Rehab Take?
The time it takes to go through rehab treatment and recover from addiction is different for everyone. But there are certain rules about recovery and its timeline that apply to most situations.
What Is the General Timeline for Addiction Treatment?
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, "Generally, for residential or outpatient treatment, participation for less than 90 days is of limited effectiveness, and treatment lasting significantly longer is recommended for maintaining positive outcomes." This means most successful rehab centers will offer a program of at least 90 days to patients. However, there are facilities that provide shorter and longer programs, such as
- 30 days
- 60 days
- 90 days
- 6 months
- 1 year+
Most people need at least 90 days in a particular program for its effects to sink in. Depending on your needs, though, you may be in treatment for longer than this.
Everyone Is Different
Every patient requires an individualized approach to their specific treatment program, which includes the length of time the program will last. As stated by the NIDA, no one treatment is effective for every patient, so doctors have to discuss the needs of the individual and build a program based on these. Those who are suffering from additional issues beyond addiction, such as a co-occurring mental disorder or severe physical or psychological side effects of their substance abuse, may require a longer treatment program.
Longer Rehab Is Usually Necessary
Though it is stated that most effective rehab programs last at least 90 days, it is also important to recognize that attending longer treatment programs or multiple options is usually necessary to a safe and effective recovery.
The NIDA states, "Most patients need long-term or repeated care to stop using completely and recover their lives." This is because, even after professional treatment, one's chances of relapsing back to substance abuse are similar to those associated with other chronic diseases like asthma and diabetes. Patients usually need continuous reinforcement in order to successfully avoid relapse and to safely navigate their recoveries.
Many rehab centers offer aftercare options to patients, which also prove the benefits of longer treatment. Some individuals leave inpatient care and go to an outpatient program while others may return for booster sessions or go to live in a sober home. These options prolong treatment and help keep patients on track in their recoveries, which can be necessary for many individuals.
How Long Will My Rehab Take?
It is difficult to determine how long any one person will need to be in treatment for a substance use disorder. Though most rehab programs last for the general times listed above, you may choose to attend rehab again after being in recovery for a while or you may choose to attend an aftercare program once you leave rehab. It is important to remember that these choices are often beneficial, and that, in most cases, longer-term care is the most effective option for recovery.

The weekends are the best times to see the entire landscape of the local market. We decided to do some branching last week, to see what some of our comrades had to offer. Starting with our favorite, the trip didn't start here, Rareco Vintage. Rare co is owned by our good friend Jeremy. Jeremy is more than a picker, everything about his selection process is art and design. Aesthetically we have a lot in common and often cross paths on route! Check out some of the cool that caught our eye.
Business as usual at the Philadelphia flea market, however a new venue. Tony has moved his market from 8th and Spring Garden to Delaware Ave. in South Philly. Great atmosphere and top notch vendors. We were able to cruise through, shake hands and see the latest!

While it is important to consider the price of your new heating or air conditioning system, it is just as important to take into account how much it will cost to operate and maintain your system on a regular basis. This is the overall value.
Systems that are designed to operate at a higher efficiency will allow you to enjoy lower heating and cooling bills, extended warranties, lower maintenance costs, and tax incentives. You save more money in the long run with a new, high efficiency system.
So take out your latest energy bill and use the tool below to perform a quick energy cost analysis that will give you an idea of the value of today's latest high efficiency HVAC systems.

Hurricane Ike was so huge that it blew this poor Magnificent Frigatebird all the way from the Gulf of Mexico to Ithaca, New York. I didn't chase it down when it was seen on Sunday, Sept. 21, and it was found dead on Monday, Sept. 22. It was brought to the Cornell University Museum of Vertebrates where I took this photo before it was converted into a study skin. How very sad.

Dal, also known as Daal, Dahl and Dhal depending on who you ask, is a lovely, hearty and comforting stew like dish from India made with pulses. Dal itself is a name for a pulse but the dish is often made with split peas or chickpeas. Unless I go through a rigorous process of soaking, maybe sprouting and then intensive cooking, those little buggers don't agree with me (yep, read between the lines). BUT I love the idea of dal and the flavours it carries, so I've decided to make my own paleo version without the legumes. This is 'dal' only by association but equally warming and delicious.
Instead of using legumes, I thought I could use pumpkin or squash (sweet potato or carrot could also be used) for sweetness, colour and mushy texture. And to add some crunch I used some finely chopped cauliflower, like you would for cauliflower rice, and some sesame seeds. A huge whack of spices and some coconut milk and I actually created something I am super proud of. My 'dal' is full of nutrients and fibre and can be eaten as is on a cold night or as a side with some meat or fish. It goes really well with some boiled or fried eggs for breakfast. It can be frozen in batches for a quick vegetable side dish as well.
Cook's notes: Garam Masala is an Indian spice mix made with pepper, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, bay leaf and cumin (usually, there are variations). You can find it in most supermarket or Asian stores. I love having it around as it's great for curries and stews. If you can't find any garam masala, simply mix tother mild curry powder with a little cinnamon, nutmeg and cumin. Ginger and garlic powders can be used instead of fresh. The thickened part of the coconut milk in a can is the same as using coconut cream. Sweet potato and carrot can be used in place of pumpkin, I used butternut pumpkin/squash as it's usually quite sweet.
AIP modifications – omit the sesame seeds and the chilli flakes and check the spice mix ingredients, onion can bother some so use leek instead.Print
Paleo Cauliflower & Pumpkin 'Dal'
- Prep Time: 15 mins
- Cook Time: 20 mins
- Total Time: 35 mins
- Yield: 4 1x
- 1 large brown onion, finely diced (use food processor)
- 20 grams ghee or butter (about 2 tablespoons)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 3 large cloves garlic, finely diced or grated
- 500 grams peeled butternut pumpkin/squash, diced into small cubes
- 2 teaspoons garam masala or mild curry powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chilli flakes
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce (optional)
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock (I used chicken stock)
- about 200 grams coconut cream
- juice of 1/2 lime
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2–3 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1/2 medium head cauliflower, broken into florets
- handful of fresh coriander chopped
- extra sesame seeds and coconut cream for garnish
- Sauté onion in ghee and coconut oil over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, until softened and slightly golden.
- Add the ginger, squash and garlic and stir through for a minute. Add the spices and stir through. Then add the fish sauce, stock, coconut cream, lime juice, salt and sesame seeds and stir through. Bring to boil, turn down to medium-low and cover with a lid. Cook for about 8-10 minutes.
- In the meantime, either chop or grind the cauliflower florets into small crumbs. I used a food processor and added separated florets in three batches, whizzed a few times for a couple of seconds each time, until finely chopped up but not completely ground up into dust. You can use a knife and chop the cauli super finely.
- After 8-10 minutes of cooking the pumpkin, stir in the cauliflower rice and cook together for 5 minutes, covered with a lid. Stir a couple of times.
- Using a potato masher, press down the cooked mixture a few times to soften the pumpkin pieces slightly. You want some of the pumpkin flesh to become the sauce itself.
- Serve with fresh coriander and a dollop of coconut cream or yoghurt. A few sesame seeds over the top for presentation.
Let me know what you think of this recipe in the comments and don't forget to share with you friends and family. It's delicious!

Batman And Aquaman Unite In 2 Justice League Teasers
Got 30 seconds to spare? If the answer is yes, then you might want to check out these two red-hot teasers for Zack Snyder's Justice League. If the answer is no, I suppose you can wait till Saturday, when the film's first full-sized trailer drops.
Earlier today, Warner gave us a close-up of Ben Affleck in and out of his batsuit and also shooting a lot of bullets out of his souped-up and insanely armoured Batmobile.
Check out teaser number one:
Next up, we got Jason Momoa's Aquaman catching a major wave and having a brief exchange with Bats, who tosses him his iconic Trident of Neptune.
Which you can see in teaser number two:
Both trailers end with a blink-or-you'll-miss shot of our titular superhero squad, presumably just as they're about to kick some major villain ass. Oh, and there's some crunchy White Stripes tune playing in the background.
Justice League is out November 17, and also stars Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, and Ray Fisher as Cyborg. Also onboard are Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Amber Heard as Mera, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, and J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon. Plus Willem Dafoe as someone we aren't aware of yet.
Could this be DC's Civil War? We'll find out soon! In the meantime, here's the offish synopsis: Fuelled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman's selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
