A very interesting discussion!
*Mythos wrote:I have often wondered if ostrich feathers are correct for crests: would they have been obtainable in the C14 and C15?
These pictures you refer to are of peacock rather than ostrich feathers (just to clarify). Ostrich feathers are the big white fluffy ones! - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/db/Herb_Ogi%C5%84ski.png
As far as peacock feathers are concerned they seem to go back to at least the mid 13th C in England, as helm crests. See The Life of King Edward the Confessor -manuscript, executed c. 1250-60. http://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/MSS/Ee.3.59/index.html

Have I mentioned that I adore Indian food, over and above any other?
Racially, I may be the rebellious heir to Philippine cooking, and an indifferent heir to the cooking of the American midwest…I may be a trepid émigré to the heavy meat-and-dairy foods of Australia, an enthusiastic admirer of Thai, Vietnamese, and Malay street foods, and a happy participant in Mexican and Italian dishes…
But the Indian kitchen is my spiritual home (even though I am not in the least bit Indian) and Indian cooking is my soul food. I love everything—everything!—that issues from the kitchens of this 5,000-year-old cuisine…from Kashmir in the North to Tamil Nadu in the South, and all the marvelous flavours and textures in-between.
I've tried to teach myself to cook some of my favorite things, over the years, though I must confess that the subtleties of flavour and some of the traditional ingredients of the cuisine are lost on an outsider like me. But then I am not cooking to please an Indian husband (who would, no doubt, compare my skills to those of his mother), Indian mother or Indian mother-in-law, thank goodness! Kris doesn't mind Indian food, but his favorite is Thai, and so, really, I cook for myself. I cook for myself because I delight in all aspects of Indian cooking, from shopping for the spices to the time and labour intensive processes of kneading doughs, grinding spices, grating and milking coconuts, sieving, churning, stirring bubbling chutneys for hours on end…as much as in the finished food.
That said, I don't dare claim any of my own recipes as authentically Indian or correct!
I improvise a lot. I experiment. I substitute things to bring the Glycemic Index of a recipe down. I probably create a lot of unholy marriages between ingredients that Ayurvedic practitioners would shudder to read of. But the stuff I make is yummy (well, I think so, anyway), it brings me joy to make it and eat it, and—almost too good to be true—most of them have the Low GI rating that, so far, has kept my blood sugar within 'normal person' levels for two years straight.
I've been making plain roti (a.k.a. chapatti) for a long, long time, but only very recently learned to make Parathas (also parantha or parauntha) from my lovely new co-worker Sabi. She and her family are Sikhs from Punjab, and are strictly vegetarian. There were no pictures of the day I visited Sabi at her home…I didn't want to freak my new friend out by pulling a camera out and styling the food. She's a very shy and simple woman, a devoted wife and mother, has been just a few years in Australia.
Parathas are a fabulous, flaky Indian flatbread cooked on a hot griddle. The flakiness is caused by trapping oil and/or oily pastes between layers of dough (so parathas are slightly less healthy than plain roti or chapattis, which are pretty much flour, dough, water, and a scant tablespoon of oil) but they are so delicious that they are worth the extra oil content! I use canola oil, for what it's worth.
Atta (dough)
- 2 cups of atta flour
- 1/2 cup of besan
- 1/4 cup of rolled oats, only because I was experimenting the day I took the pictures…better just leave them out!
- 1 tsp each of coriander seeds, nigella seeds, coarse-ground chilli powder. I also threw in Maldives fish sambol (because I am addicted to the stuff), and chaat masala (ditto)
- 1/2 inch piece of ginger (not pictured) finely grated
- a handful of chopped coriander leaves (not pictured)
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- about 1 cup of warm water
- extra atta flour for rolling
- extra canola oil for cooking
In a mixing bowl, combine the flours and all the spices, herbs, seasonings in the picture above. Don't forget the ginger and coriander, which I forgot to include in the photograph. Add warm water, a little at a time, and when the mix starts to look like a bowl of broken-up cauliflower lumps, drop the spatula and use your hands to knead the lumps together. Just because the mix looks dry doesn't mean it is…kneading by hand will tell you, by feel, when the dough is of the right consistency (soft, but not sticky) Never dump all the water in at one time…I find that I never use up all of the water, and still my doughs so far have been too sticky to knead and roll with ease. So this tip comes from my experience of not following this tip!
Once everything has come together, take the dough out of its bowl and knead by hand for a few minutes. Form into a ball, cover, and let rest for "at least 10 minutes", as the various recipes say, though I find that leaving the dough for an hour, or even overnight in the fridge, makes it more elastic and less sticky.
While the dough is resting, make the besan and dhal paste.
Besan and dhal paste
- 1 cup of cooked dhal…I used chana dhal, washed and soaked for a few hours in water, then boiled—with salt, a teaspoon of turmeric, and a piece of cinnamon bark—until cooked but not mushy). Drain well and let cool.
- 1/3 cup of besan
- 1 tsp ajwain or carom seeds
- 1 tsp red chilli powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup canola oil
Note: To make a very simple paratha, use just canola oil instead of the besan-and-dhal paste to create the layers. The process remains the same.
Into a food processor or blender throw together the cooked dhal, besan, spices, and salt. Pulse to a mush, adding oil until the paste is smooth and, theoretically, spreadable…though I keep mine fairly stiff, and it doesn't spread easily at all. The the good thing about this is that I can use more of the paste than just a thin smear (I love dhal!) but I get less pasty mess running out of my bread when I roll it out. Whatever suits you, I say.
Set a heavy-bottomed non-stick frying pan, or a griddle, or a thawa, onto low-medium heat.
On the griddle, let one side cook only slightly, about 30 or 40 seconds. Holding the griddle by its handle, slide a corner of the bread to the edge, where you can quickly pick the bread up and flip it over onto the other side.
Quickly spread a teaspoon of canola oil over the cooked surface of the bread, letting the other side cook for about 30 seconds.
Note: To cut down on oil and make this step even quicker, I use canola oil in a spray can and spray the surface of the bread. Nice and light!
Flip the bread over again, and oil this surface, as well. Cook for 30 seconds…the surface of the bread should start undulating and moving as hot steam trapped between the dough layers pushes them apart and cooks them from the inside. AWESOME!
Repeat the flipping action until both sides get spots of golden brown on them. Flip onto a plate and serve hot, with a dipping bowl of yoghurt dusted with chaat masala, and maybe some chutney or lemon pickle.
What makes this flatbread such a wonderful option for healthy eating?
Atta flour is made from durum wheat (Triticum durum), the same 'hard' wheat used in making pasta, which is another beloved staple of those watching their blood sugar and weight. (You cannot imagine my excitement when I learned that atta and durum are one and the same thing…I used to make my own lasagna and fettuccine noodles from scratch, but gave it up because of the soft wheat flours that were all I could find in the Philippines to use. Even in Australia, durum wheat doesn't just sit around, available to the public, on supermarket shelves…but every Indian grocery sells atta in 15 kg. sacks! Woot!) Durum also goes by the name bread flour, and winter wheat. It is extremely high in protein, yet lower in gluten (that glutinous web that enables leavened breads to trap air and rise) than the flour made from other wheat varieties.
Besan, or chickpea flour, is also rated as having a low G.I., as are all other varieties of dhal—also known as pulses, lentils, peas or beans. Dhal (derives from the Sanskrit verb "to split") is typically around 25% protein by weight, giving it a comparable protein content to meats. Dal is also high in Low Glycemic Index carbohydrates, whilst being virtually fat free. Dal is also rich in the B vitamins thiamine and folic acid as well as several minerals, notably iron and zinc.

Spiritual Body Guards
Listen to Audio (right click to save)
When I used to go places with my two sons, people would often say, "And who are these young men?" And I'd say, "Oh, these are my body guards." We'd all get a good laugh at that! Of course, you know, these guys of ours grew up pretty fast, and it was believable that they could be my body guards.
Actually, if I really felt that I needed one, I think, you know, I would look to, you know, some, oh, like a professional wrestler or good old Mr. T from TV days of yore. Now, there was a body guard. In fact, before he became a TV personality and a movie star, he was actually a body guard for people like Muhammad Ali. So he got noticed first and got into the movies and into that old A-Team series.
Now, it's interesting to think of body guards. There are people who need them, and you picture those big beefy guys who stand between the celebrity or whoever they're protecting and whoever might want to cause them any trouble. It's almost as if they're saying, "Nothing's going to happen to you my friend as long as I'm looking out for you. I'm going to stand between you and anyone who tries to hurt you." That's body guards. Hey, did you know you're a body guard? Well, I mean, at least you're supposed to be.
We are all part of that, those of us who are in Christ. And His body has been broken enough. He said, "This is My body which was broken for you." Don't allow it to be broken any more by a Christian attacking another Christian. Don't throw any punches at someone that Jesus loves very much.
Instead say, "Nothing's going to happen to you because I'm looking out for you."

| 7.7°C Belfast
Nicole Scherzinger is reported to be heading out of The X Factor as show supremo Simon Cowell makes his comeback.
The singer and model has been a permanent member of the judging panel on the singing show since 2012 but, according to reports, is expected to leave to return to her music career.
Gary Barlow has already announced he is leaving, with former judge Cheryl Cole widely expected to return.
Veteran panellist Louis Walsh also said he was quitting, although he has indicated he might have had second thoughts.
Cowell announced last week he was returning for the next UK series of the show later this year.
The music mogul said he was "absolutely thrilled to be returning" and bosses will be hoping his reappearance will boost viewing figures.
He quit the UK panel to establish the series across the Atlantic, but US audiences have not met expectations and viewing figures at home have also slumped since he left, with the show regularly beaten by BBC rival Strictly Come Dancing.
For his last series in 2010, there was an average audience of 17.2 million watching Matt Cardle triumph, but by last year the climax of the series drew 9.7 million.
The show's finale in 2005 - which pulled in 9.3 million - was the only one to fare worse than that of last year.

'Pretty Little Liars' Season Finale Scoop: Which Couple Will Suffer Most?
Creator Marlene King tells HollywoodLife.com to expect 'defining moments' for three of the show's major couples!
We know the March 19 season finale of Pretty Little Liars will bring an end to the "A" mystery — but will it also bring an end to a fan-favorite couple? "We have a lot of big boyfriend moments," creator Marlene King tells HollywoodLife.com. "At least three of the couples have defining moments that either solidify, or change, their relationships."
OK, I'm down with the "solidify"ing part, but I'm not comfortable with "change" — especially when it comes to relationships in Rosewood. So which couple should we be lighting a candle for? All of them, apparently!
"We have taken 'Emaya' through the ringer this season," Marlene admits of Emily (Shay Mitchell) and Maya's (Bianca Lawson) on-again off-again status. And she confirms Maya "does have a presence in the episode," so at least that tragic e-mail she sent Emily isn't the last we'll hear of her this season.
And even though they enjoyed an evening of sweet, statutory sex last week, Aria (Lucy Hale) and Ezra (Ian Harding) certainly aren't off the hook. Marlene promises the show's main couple will also have a huge moment. (A bun in the oven for Aria, perhaps? Come on, everybody knows you always get pregnant the first time you have sex. Always.)
Marlene also doesn't put Spencer (Troian Bellisario) and Toby (Keegan Allen) in the clear, noting that "A" has been "a real bitch to them all season." And, honestly, how often does "A" decide to stop being a bitch?
But instead of looking at the couples who are always in crisis, maybe we should be worried about the one that's been trouble-free this season. I'm talking, of course, about Hanna (Ashley Benson) and Caleb (Tyler Blackburn), who Marlene openly admits "have gotten off a little easier this season." Personally, I'll be keeping a close eye on Mona (Janel Parrish) during the finale. I saw the way she kissed Caleb last week; she loved it.
Regardless of which couple suffers the most devastating blow, Marlene promises "a very chilling moment" that breaks her heart every time she watches it. "It's so emotional and heart-wrenching. The actors in that scene did such an amazing job, and as soon as you see it, you'll know what I'm talking about."
As for whether or not that particular scene will lead us to mourn one of our favorite Rosewood couples, Marlene says "…maybe."
OK, Im officially scared.
Besides the big 'A' reveal, what do YOU think will go down on the season finale? Head to the comments section and tell me which couple you'd be most devastated to see break up!

Seeking Oil, Russia Claims North Pole
Russian geologists claim that they have found a link between Russia and the North pole in the form of the Lomonosov Ridge, a geological feature on the sea floor. Because of this, they claim 460,000 square miles of ocean as Russian territory. However, their claims have been knocked back by the UN before, in 2001. There are reports that they are trying again, with some claiming that they are even sending a submarine to plant a flag 14,000 feet under the Arctic ice shelf.The motivation, as is often the way, is oil. The area is a potentially lucrative oilfield, and with the ice melting (ironically because of oil and the resulting climate change caused by its use), access will be easier.
The expedition leader, Artur Chilingarov, is quoted as saying, "The Arctic is Russian. We are going to be the first to put a flag there, a Russian flag at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean, at the very point of the North Pole." ::The Daily Green ::The Guardian

Eric & Fiona – A Shrek-ish Wedding
With a bride named "Fiona," and a groom named "Eric" who stands towering above everyone else, the Shrek jokes were bound to come, and Eric & Fiona loved it.
Married on his Dad's property in Woodland on June 6th, 2009, Eric was the quiet giant, while Fiona was the beautiful princess. Their reception followed, with personalized introductions of the wedding party, a Fairy Tale Love Story, beautiful lighting and dancing into the night.
Eric surprised Fiona with their first dance, "Look At You Girl," and we surprised them both by embedding their wedding vows into the song.
But for me personally, the highlight was a strange conversation I had with one of Fiona's bridesmaids, her sister in law, Jamee. Later in the evening, while the dancing was in full swing, she came over to me and said that Fiona had told her about this awesome DJ she had hired, that she had seen him (me) at another wedding and that he was really great – kept everything moving, got everyone involved and was really funny. So far, so good. But then she said, "So I thought you were going to be really obnoxious, but you're NOT! You're really very sweet and easygoing." She sounded surprised at that.
I asked her to explain that. I mean, it didn't make any sense. If Fiona was saying her DJ was great, how did that become obnoxious in her mind?
Jamee said it was because every time she heard somebody talk about a DJ who "kept things moving," he turned out to be on the microphone a lot, telling everyone what to do, and whenever a DJ was said to "get everyone involved," it meant that they were forcing people to do things that they didn't want to do. It never occured to her that it could be done without the DJ being the center of attention.
Oh. Glad she cleared that up. And, I was thrilled to find out I had changed another person's perception of what wedding entertainment could be.
Their photographer, Jeremy, from Sharpe Photographers, captured it all in typical Sharpe Photography fashion – fast, non-intrusive and with a sense of fun.
Check out some highlights!

Released by Celebrity Home Entertainment and produced by Scott DuPont, the movie, What Is The Electric Car? answers questions and debunks myths about what we think of as our newest mode of transportation.
Though Warren Buffet predicts that by 2036, all our cars will be electric. The facts are that the electric car is not as new as we might think. The first electric car was designed in 1832 in Scotland. By the turn of the century, 80% of the cars were electric. When gas came along, the car began fading out. In 1939, the last electric, The Detroit Electric was produced. By then, Ford has claimed hold to the market and his cars, with gas being so much cheaper, became the popular demand. In 1950's, the golf cart started a resurgence. By the 1970's, gas had become more expensive and people began exploring the idea of an electric car again. It wasn't until the 1990's, however, that California challenged auto producers to find an alternative to the gas crisis.
Many people still think of the golf cart as the electric car, but options for the electric car have increased greatly, as have the acceptance of plug in stations at various workplaces, malls, schools, etc. "You don't need an extension card," states Mike McQuary. Many places. as LAX, in fact, offer free parking for electric cars.
If you consider that the average driver goes less than 100 miles/day and the car, supposedly, has a range of 240 miles on a charge, it makes sense. In fact, most of our auto jaunts are 20 miles, or less.
There are now many types of electric cars, states Bruce Gast of electriccar.com Hybrids, which use half gas and half electric - going as far as it can on the electric before switching to gas as needed, seem to be the most popular right now, says Linda Nicholes of Plug In America.
The quiet cars can go from zero to 60 in 3.9 seconds. They are not the slow bugs that we once thought. They are also, while still expensive, coming down in price as the cost of the battery drops. It takes about seven years of ownership to make the car worthwhile, states owner Rick Pamplin, but I doubt many people will be getting rid of it after the seven years. One of the reasons is that there are so few repairs needed. You don't have a radiator, hoses or traditional motor. They're also less expensive to insure since these concerned law abiding drivers have fewer accidents.
Many people, it appears, have two cars. One gas guzzling for the long across America jogs and the other an electric for the short trips to work, school and the like. The average cost for the charge is 10-20 cents! Electric conversion is becoming more and more popular even in the ordinary cars. According to Paul Scott of Plug In America, almost any car can be made electric.
For those that like the option of white lining during freeway blockages, there is also the mini electric car. There are varieties made from Rolls and Toyota, to Chevy, CODA, Honda and Nissan. Besides, regular charging up the cars, some will run on solar power and others on pure vegetable oil.
Actor Ed Bagley Jr puts out this thought. Considering our dependence on foreign oil and the wars we have fought over that product, the rise in greenhouse gas emissions, and the current cost of gas, isn't it time that we consider electric cars? It's something that keeps the jobs here in America, as well.
The movie will be available at major outlets, as well as NetFlix, i-Tunes, Hulu, Amazon and BigStar.tv. For more information go to www.WhatistheElectricCar.com ; for a comparison on models and pricing, go to www.pluginamerica.com.

About a month ago my family took a road trip to southern Colorado primarily to explore the Great Sand Dunes National Park. As luck would have it, the weather didn't entirely cooperate, and we awoke to freshly fallen snow on our first morning outside the dunes. Recalling that a few friends had mentioned a nearby alligator and reptile rescue (yep, in Colorado – there are geothermal springs), we decided to head there instead of to the dunes that day.
While at the rescue, my 9-year-old son had a chance to hold a young alligator. After getting a few pictures snapped (ha, no pun intended), the alligator handler filled out a certificate of bravery for Julian and had the alligator bite the paper to "make it official." He then asked my son to hold out his arm for a real alligator bite to show his friends that he really did hold one. Julian thought momentarily, then extended his arm. The handler started laughing a little bit and waved his arm away saying, "When you get older, people might ask you to do dumb things just for their entertainment. They're called your friends. But you don't have to do it. You can say no."
That made me think about how as my kids enter their teenage years (it's coming up so fast), they will likely encounter other kids who suggest they do X, Y, or Z — and marijuana may very well be one of those things.
In 2014 marijuana became legal for adults 21+ in Colorado. As a result of this, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) was tasked with educating the public about the health effects associated with retail marijuana use. Good to Know Colorado is the nation's first public education campaign regarding the legal, safe and responsible use of retail marijuana. The campaign also helps parents and other adults learn the facts so they can have a positive, effective conversation with youth about not using retail marijuana before age 21.
Did you know that a child's brain is still developing until age 25? For the best chance to reach their full potential, young people should not use retail marijuana. Using marijuana before age 21 can have negative health effects such as: decreased athletic performance, difficulty learning and memory issues, impaired judgment, and it's harder to stop using marijuana if you start at a young age. For more information about the health effects of marijuana on youth, visit the Good to Know website.
According to the 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, first-time use of most substances, such as drugs and alcohol, among youth peaks during the summer months of June and July. That's why it's important for parents to start talking with their kids NOW about marijuana to ensure their children understand the reasons why and how to say no to retail marijuana.
The Good to Know website is an excellent resource when it comes to learning how to talk to your kids and encourage them to say no, while staying positive and maintaining a good relationship with your kids. For most parents, talking to their kids about drug and alcohol use doesn't come naturally. And although it may be easy to tell kids to "just say no," it's not always that easy for kids to actually do it.
Good to Know offers a lot of great tips for parents to talk to their kids and advice on how to help kids find a way to say no that works for them, including:
- Role-playing with kids is a great way to practice saying "no."
- Many kids don't realize saying "no" can be as simple as saying, "If I get caught, I won't be able to do sports, theater, dance, etc."
- You can also encourage your kids to use you as an excuse to avoid marijuana use. For example, "My parents would ground me for the summer." This is especially effective for pre-teens.

Which kind of mountain bike pedal is most suitable for racing? It needs to be pretty light, but also durable to be able to resist a tough race.
Are we talking platform or clipless here? – Jack M. Aug 25 '10 at 21:10
Not tied to any specific technology, a but subjective I guess – Johan Dahlin Aug 25 '10 at 21:15
I'm assuming we're taling clipless since we're talking racing. I've owned a number of SPD pedals and always found them lacking. I prefer Time Pedals and raced x-country on them for years. I own a pair of Alium's. When I bought them (5 years ago) no SPD kept as clean as they did. Speedplay and Crank Bros are also supposed to clear mud well but I've never tried them.
Ultimately this is a personal preference. See if you can get on a few different pedals at your LBS and read some reviews in magazines and on forums.
I have had SPDs and eggbeaters, and I love the Crank Bros eggbeater pedals. I've found them to be way better than SPDs. You can clip in on four sides rather than two, and in my experience, they're easier to clip out of in emergency situations than SPDs are.
Also, unlike SPDs, eggbeaters don't have flat surfaces, so you're less likely to slip off if you're trying to get back on after hike-a-bike sections of muddy trails.

text: A word about ebony and other asian hardwoods...The SANDRA LONG COLLECTION of rare and beautiful ebony furniture is absolutely exceptional.Ebony (diospyros ebenum or Ceylon ebony) is the aristocrat of hardwoods and native to southern India and Sri Lanka. It has long been prized for its dense hardness, which lends itself to exquisite carving and a smooth finish when polished. Ebony has been a luxury wood since ancient times and was so popular in 16th century Paris, that the French term for cabinentmaker is still ébénistes. The COLLECTION has a number pieces with the signature "shell" pattern that signifies that it is of Ceylonese "Burgher" or Dutch colonial origin.The COLLECTION has a rich representation of tropical hardwoods such as rare calamander, nadoon, satinwood, jackwood and tamarind, as well as rosewood, mahogany and teak. These woods stand alone for the color and grain, or are often combined to brilliant effect.

Some time around the turn of the year, a chance encounter with Shimmering Stars' gorgeous single 'I'm Gonna Try' led me to expect that 2011 would see their reverb-drenched Sixties harmonies take over the blogosphere. Like most of my predictions, this hasn't (as yet) come to fruition, and the band slipped back beneath the radar somewhat until the announcement of Violent Hearts, the Vancouver trio's debut album. Still, the year is only two thirds down, so maybe they can still make a late break for that catch-all internet domination I anticipated.
As it turns out, the evidence presented by Violent Hearts suggests that such a notion might not be all that far off the mark. Sure, nothing here really improves on the the aforementioned 'I'm Gonna Try' (which is present), but there are numerous encouraging occasions where they run it pretty close, most notably in the shape of 'No One', 'Dancing to Music I Hate' and 'Sun's Going Down'. The album is pretty heavy on wistful, youthful love songs, but there's never really a point where it feels cloying or forced. I expect this might have something to do with the record's conciseness, with the average song length being about two and a half minutes, and the whole album being over in under half an hour. Above all else, though, Violent Hearts is an impressive work out in big pop song-craft.
Indeed, the band's unnervingly consistent ability to thread a killer hook through the pools of reverb is far and away their strongest asset, and it is this which makes the crucial difference between Violent Hearts being a legitimately strong album and a gimmicky exercise in hero worship. You see, in the same way as the likes of Magic Kids, Yuck and The Smith Westerns before them, Shimmering Stars are one of those bands whose influences (in this case The Everly Brothers, Spector, Beach Boys etc etc) are etched so nakedly and so blatantly into every fibre of their music, that the songs have to be good, otherwise they'd just look a bit daft.
Of course, in the face of a band like Shimmering Stars, there's always going to be that tiresome old argument lurking around the corner that any artist whose sound is so heavily rooted in their forebears is somehow less worthwhile than those who break new ground, but, well, it just feels churlish to quibble about such matters when faced with a record as cheering as Violent Hearts. Yes, it's enormously derivative, but it's also frequently exhilarating, so who gives a shit?

Kinex Health
Kinex Health is primed to tackle the diet industry head-on by focusing holistically on our clients' eating, exercise and health habits as a whole rather than on just one element at a time. This is a modern update to the existing diet systems that focus on the body and mind as separate entities. At Kinex Health, we are encouraging the mind-body connection for optimum lifelong health and weight management.
The company has developed a proprietary system that combines the best of the life coaching and personal fitness training industries to motivate individuals to attain a healthy weight for life by developing habits that make the practice of dieting obsolete, the practice of eating well natural, and the practice of exercising a fact of life.
Our culture is all about loving yourself, loving your body, and loving life. The logo needs to communicate love and fun. It should be fresh and modern.
Kinex is targeting a very specific population of sophisticated female health consumers who are looking to improve their overall health and fitness while also losing 5-30 lbs. Following are some demographic and psychographic features of this market.
Who they are: educated health consumers who are looking for an intelligent, active new way to manage their weight, health and fitness
What they want: a smarter and more integrative approach to diet, health & fitness
What they look like: women in the 28-45 age range with children; 5-30 lbs overweight
Current fitness level: moderate
Where they live: High-income neighborhoods in Southern California beach cities (Santa Monica, Marina del Rey, Pacific Palisades)
Magazines they read: Body + Soul (a Martha Stewart Publication), Real Simple
Where they shop: Whole Foods, Starbucks
Services they use: holistic health & fitness options including acupuncture, massage, yoga, meditation, etc.
Past experience: they feel as if they have tried everything and know everything, but nothing seems to work. They are tired of feeling like a failure.

KABUL, Afghanistan (CNN) -- The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously to pass a resolution extending the mandate of NATO-led military forces in Afghanistan for a year, hours after a deadly bombing near the Indian Embassy in Kabul.
The bomb exploded in the center of Kabul on the corner of Passport Lane and the Indian Embassy.
The suicide car bomb attack on Thursday left at least 17 people dead, most of them civilians, and 63 wounded.
"I think this is another reminder of the dangers that the Taliban pose to the Afghan population and to the international community in Afghanistan, and the importance of the continued international efforts there," said John Sawers, Britain's ambassador to the world body, after the resolution was passed.
The council provides international legal approval for the deployment of NATO troops to assist in the protection of civilians in armed conflict.
The resolution, however, did not address troop numbers, an issue that has generated controversy since the commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, requested an additional 40,000 troops.
The Security Council also condemned the attack, calling for the "perpetrators, organizers, financiers and sponsors of this reprehensible act of terrorism" to be brought to justice.
In addition to extending the mandate, the resolution stressed the need to bolster Afghan security forces to help them become self-sufficient in protecting their country.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen, NATO's new leader, recently announced that NATO forces would begin training Afghan police and increase training of the Afghan National Army.
Some 90,000 international forces are deployed in Afghanistan, with 35,000 serving with NATO and 65,000 with the United States.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the Thursday bombing, saying an Afghan national in a sport utility vehicle carried out the attack.
The bomber had intended to strike the embassy, Indian officials said. Watch what a local shopkeeper says about the area »
"The suicide attack(er) ... attempted (to go) through one of the embassy gates," Vishnu Prakash, spokesman for India's external affairs ministry, told CNN on Thursday. "The embassy was the target."
The bomb went off about 8:30 a.m., just as offices and shops were opening for the day. The force of the blast shattered some of the embassy's windows, according to Prakash.
The bombing came a year after a similar deadly attack outside the Indian Embassy.
The Thursday attack killed 17 -- most of them civilians -- and 63 were wounded, Interior Ministry spokesman Ezmary Bashary said.
The Taliban said the attack killed 35 people, including high-ranking Indian Embassy officials, as well as international and Afghan police officers.
The blast damaged a security checkpoint outside the the embassy, said staffer J.P. Singh, but "there were no casualties on the Indian side."
The embassy is in the center of Kabul, in a shop-lined street across from the Interior Ministry and several other government buildings.
The explosion shattered car windows and toppled restaurant walls. Paramedics dug through twisted metal and debris, looking for survivors.
A statement from President Hamid Karzai's office called the blast an obvious assault on civilians and said "the perpetrators of this attack and those who planned it were vicious terrorists who killed innocent people for their malicious goals."
About a year ago, another suicide car bomb detonated outside the embassy. Among the 58 people killed in the July 7, 2008, attack were two Indian diplomats and 14 students at a nearby school.
More than 100 were wounded in that blast.
Afghan and Indian officials accused Pakistan's spy agency of involvement in that attack. Pakistan denied the accusation.
India is the sixth largest donor to Afghanistan, providing millions of dollars to help with reconstruction efforts there.
CNN's Atia Abawi and Harmeet Shah Singh and Lena Shemel contributed to this report.

CoCo Coir Peat is a multi-purpose soil conditioner and growing medium. It is consistent and uniform in texture. It is a completely homogenous material composed of millions of capillary micro-sponges, which absorb and hold up to eight times its own weight in water. The natural pH of 5.7 to 6.5, plus an unusually high Cation Exchange Capacity - and 27% of Easily Available Water assures that coir will hold and release nutrients in solution over extended periods without re-watering.
Healthy root growth is easy with CoCo Coir Peat 100% natural organic coir. Derived from the husk of the coconut, it is an excellent growing medium for both commercial and home gardening applications. The Hydroponics and Horticulture Industries have observed that plants grown with the aid of coir develop larger roots, stems and blooms. This is because unlike ordinary soil, which is usually compacted, CoCo Coir Peat provides more breathing space and aeration for plant roots, resulting in better growth
CoCo Coir Peat can retain moisture up to nine times its own volume while maintaining excellent air filled porosity, providing vital oxygen to the roots and soil. It's fibrous and sponge-like structure is ideal for any soil condition, whether breaking up the heaviest of clay soils or retaining moisture in sandy soils. It is by far the most efficient and economical way to rehabilitate degraded soils without the risk of contamination. CoCo Coir Peat has a naturally high lignin content which encourages favorable micro-organisms around the root zone. Having a slow degradation rate, it conditions the soil and promotes the development of an optimum pH level. CoCo Coir peat has been universally accepted as an excellent plant growth substrate as well as a soil additive
CoCo Coir Peat is the future of growing mediums and will last three times as long as Peat Moss and Sphagnum Moss. CoCo Coir Peat is hydrophilic and will re-wet easily without the use of chemical wetting agents and is capable of holding and releasing nutrients
Amazingly, it did not find a home for commercial growing until the 1980's in Holland. Dutch lily and rose growers discovered how good it promoted and supported root growth. When used in hydroponics growing, it was found to be superior to peat moss. Coconut Coir was better aerated and still held more water. Unlike peat moss and bark composts, Coconut Coir did not break down or compact. Containers that had been filled with Coir four years previous were found to be at the same level and consistency.
Dutch rose growers in the U.S. and Canada were next to find that this was the answer for their new hydroponics support media. Due to the foreign competition, a new method had been adopted to produce roses that were as large as those being imported from Ecuador and Colombia. At first clay pebbles were used, then following suggestions and observations from Europe, Coconut Coir was introduced. Trials using 100% Coconut Coir soon showed that this was the ideal media for the hydroponics growing method.
The best source of Coconut coir in the world is from Sri Lanka and India. There, mountainous piles are processed to make grower grade Coir. Coir must be processed with the right amount of washing in fresh water. Some suppliers use seawater, which causes the Coconut Coir to be toxic for plant growth. Our supplier takes great care in procedures to make sure that growers receive a medium that will help improve their crops.
In addition, unlike peat moss, the process of obtaining Coir does not destroy natural ecosystems, thereby making Coir a natural, renewable resource, and an environmentally friendly alternative to peat moss.
Our Coir products conform to internationally accepted quality standards. Our stringent selection process of raw material provides optimal physical and chemical properties.
Our Coconut Coir growing medium comes from the Coconut's fibrous husk (known as Coir) that is bound together by lignin (known as pith). After the husk is immersed in water for 6 weeks, the fiber is extracted mechanically, and the pith is left behind as a waste product and stored in heaps to age. Since the pith comes from the fruit, it is quite naturally rich in nutrients.
Coconut Coir growing mediums are dehydrated and compressed into a compact form for easy handling. With the addition of water, Coir expands to an easy to work with growing medium. The addition of water increases the volume 3 to 9 times, depending on the packaging of products. This process results in a 100% organic, biodegradable growing medium, making it a natural and safe growth medium of choice for growers.

Cable Internet Service NJ - What is it?
Cable internet brings high speed internet access into your home using the cable television infrastructure. The service is also popularly known as "broadband" or broadband internet.
Due to low cost, ease of set-up, speed and the fact that the cable television infrastructure is widely available, cable internet now reigns as the most popular method for receiving internet access in New Jersey. The speeds provided by the service are significantly faster than those that a dial-up connection is able to achieve.
How Does it Work?
Cable internet service in NJ provides high speed internet by using the existing cable line that runs through your neighborhood. It then reaches you by the individual cable by which you are "plugged into" the cable system. This individual cable is connected into a cable modem.
With cable internet NJ, you can enjoy a connection to the online world at much faster speeds than those offered by dial-up. You can expect download speeds of up to 20 Mbps. In addition to speed, you can count on the service being more reliable than dial-up.
Cable Internet Providers

cable internet provider
in NJ. The company began almost half-a-decade ago offering cable television services and now offers cable internet services that utilize their PowerBoost, which makes the service faster. They also offer additional features such as free Comprehensive Security and SmartZone Online, which allows customers to check their voicemail online.
Time Warner Cable began in the late '80s as a digital cable provider. The company has since expanded into the realm of high speed internet and phone services. Their Road Runner High Speed internet has become well-known since it was first launched in 1995. The service provides wireless home networking, which can be utilized by up to four computers. The service also includes free Internet Security Suite.
Cox Communications is the third largest cable television provider in the nation. In addition to bringing cable television to more than six million customers, the company provides broadband internet to almost three million subscribers. Like Comcast, they use PowerBoost technology. The company also offers a 30-day money back guarantee with its broadband service to help back its claim of being the best provider of cable internet service. Cox Communications' internet service includes technical support that is available 24 hours per day, seven days per week. The service also includes free security and access to ESPN3.com. Customers who choose the Premier or Preferred packages also enjoy 5 GB of free storage.
With over 5 million customers in 25 states, Charter Communications is also a premier provider of
cable internet deals
. Charter offers dowload speeds up to 20 Mbps. They have also recently debuted the new Charter Internet® Ultra100. This high-speed internet service, which is available in most markets, provides super-fast service with speeds up to 100 Mbps downloading and 5 Mbps uploading.

A bag of marijuana found in the boys locker room at Croton-Harmon High School has led to the school forfeiting its varsity football game against Putnam Valley Saturday.
The marijuana was found in the football section of the locker room, according to Superintendent Edward Fuhrman. On Tuesday, state police used drug-sniffing dogs to scan the locker room area. No individual students were searched or scanned and no further drugs were found, Fuhrman said.
Several players were banned from participating in football for one week and coupled with injuries, left Croton too shorthanded to play against Putnam Valley, Fuhrman said.
The Croton-Harmon Homecoming game will now be played against Briarcliff on Saturday, Oct. 7, at 3 p.m., Fuhrman said.

NEW DELHI (AP) - 'Life of Pi' actor Suraj Sharma credits director Ang Lee with setting him on a path to continue with a career in movies.
Sharma told The Times of India in an interview published Tuesday that getting to work with the Oscar-winning director on 'Life of Pi' was a blessing.
'The amount I learned and did was awesome. Ang gave me a path. Before that, I didn't even know what I would do in life,' he was quoted as saying. After making the movie, 'I know I want to tell stories,' he said.
'I don't know whether I just want to act or be behind the camera, holding the camera or just being the boom director. But I want to be on the sets. It has to be something to do with cinema,' he said.
Sharma, 20, said his next Hollywood film will be 'Million Dollar Arm.' The film revolves around a real life reality show that searched for potential Major League Baseball pitchers among Indian cricketers.

If you hate writing a character… don't write them
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in Creating a character, Writer basics 101 on November 25, 2012
Writers are often asked which of their characters they hated writing.
The expected answer is usually the murderer, the villain, the cheating wife, the despicable and repugnant millionaire …
Brace yourselves, non-writers. We enjoy creating those people.
But if I dislike a character, if they are a chore… I change the character.
It's nothing to do with whether they spoil things for my other characters. I'm just as excited to write my bad people as angels. But if sharing headspace with a character is not appealing, it means I'm not interested enough to write them well. And the reader will feel the same heartsink sensation whenever their eye alights on that darned name.
Here's what to do.
Cut them
If they don't excite you and the rest of the story does, perhaps it's a sign they don't have any effect on the world of the novel. Are they needed at all?
Are they only in the book to give a central character a plausible background, for instance a mother? Have you written her in too much detail, perhaps tried to give her scenes by herself and come up with only trivialities? If a character is in the cast to flesh out another character's life, it's perfectly okay to write only the scenes where they are together. Or narrate them from the perspective of the more important character.
But they will become important
Perhaps they're in the book because they do something important later on. Try cutting the earlier appearances. Not all the cast has to be on stage from the word go. Could your dull character begin as a walk-on and gradually become a significant speaking part? Characters are allowed to blossom late – that can be very rewarding to read. But until they become useful, don't make them tread water or amble aimlessly. (Or if they must, make them do it outside your book.)
You might find you have several characters who perform roughly the same story function – and this may be what's bugging you. Could you ditch most tedious one and give their role to someone else? Combining two characters might also give you a fresh perspective on other parts of the story.
Give them even more to do
Yes, you're already grudging the time you spend with these blots, but I've often found my attitude changes completely if I beef up their role. Challenge them, make them a more crucial link in a chain, tighten their attachment to one of the other characters and watch them transform from soggy to sparkling.
Don't soldier on
If you loathe writing certain people, it's a sure sign that you need to take action. Don't soldier on, dragging them through scene after scene, thinking it's part of your writing duty to sometimes find things hard. Find what makes you want to write them.

21st-century beauty from Baltic birch and bent lamination.
by John Hutchinson
Pages: 76-82
From the November 2006 issue #158

As I looked at the "Modern" furniture coming to life in the Modernica workshops of brothers Frank and Jay Novak in Los Angeles, Calif., I couldn't help comparing it to the work of another set of brothers, half a continent away, and a century ago. The Stickley brothers (all five of them) were the modernists of their era. Their Craftsman style rebelled against the ornate neoclassic and Victorian styles favored at the beginning of the 20th century. Their quartersawn oak furniture incorporated overt structural details such as corbels, stopped and through mortises, and exposed tenons. Their rectilinear shapes were free of any excess ornamentation except for what occurred naturally in the material, design and construction. The finished products revealed not only the craftsmanship that went into each piece, but also the beauty, simplicity and utility of the design.

Question: "What is contextual theology?"Recommended Resource:
Also known as "enculturation," contextual theology refers to the manner in which the church in every age tends to adapt its teachings to the culture in which it finds itself. There are many examples of this but perhaps the best is the example found in 1 Corinthians 11:4-7. Paul's teaching here had to do with head coverings used by men and women. Jewish and Roman men covered their heads, but for a woman not to cover her head was quite unthinkable. The reason for this was mainly "cultural" or in the context of the culture in which they found themselves at the time. In the Corinthian temples of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, shrine prostitutes would give themselves "sacrificially" by shaving their heads. As a result, a woman entering a church for worship with a shaven head would cause offense in that culture. Admittedly, if such occurred now, one would assume the baldness was the result of alopecia or another medical condition, not because she was a "shrine" prostitute!
Clearly, Christian teachings from the Bible have to sometimes be interpreted in the context of the culture. Nevertheless, the underlying principles of God's Word are still the same today as they were when they were written. The principle in the 1 Corinthians passage is the headship of Christ over the body and likewise the headship of the husband over the wife, who should be in submission to him.
In general, the principle of contextual theology has to be applied carefully if the teachings of Christ are to be accepted by any culture. There is a danger that the truth can be accommodated to the culture to the extent that it becomes compromised instead. For example, those cultures that are predisposed to idolatry, such as in Asia and the Far East, can accept Christian teachings to the extent that it becomes acculturated and never truly effectual in turning people back to the one true God, which is commanded by the gospel of Christ Jesus. Thankfully, there is a work of revival ongoing in these lands where many are turning from idolatry, but often this is so ingrained that the effect is that the God of Christianity becomes just another addition to the plethora of deities that is worshiped, and this is sadly wrong.

As a man steeped in Americana it's no surprise that Ben Bridwell's career has drifted audibly across the USA. By the time Band of Horses popped into existence he'd already lived in South Carolina, Arizona, Olympia and Seattle and each seemed to have a presence in his music: countryish and homespun, but with scrappy, indie character, Iron+Wine meeting the more gnarled end of Seventies Neil Young via ELO and Pavement. It was the two sides balancing each other out that gave those early records so much character and made, say, 'There Is a Ghost' so compelling, setting them apart from your common or garden Fleet Foxes, your Bon Ivers and your Midlakes.
Since moving back home to Carolina to raise a family, Bridwell has been gradually smoothing the Northwestern edges of his sound, while his band - once effectively a solo project - stabilised into a solid five-piece unit with the distribution and marketing might of Columbia records picking up from old label Sub Pop. Their breakthrough album, 2010's Infinite Arms, took those lo-fi beginnings and stretched them into something the mainstream could swoon over, gaining the band a huge global audience and the space and scope to follow, say, Kings of Leon as big players while crucially still showing traces of something rougher and more knockabout. Which brings us to Mirage Rock, the end point of a journey from north to south, from lone wolf to family man, from indie label to major muscle. And therein lies the problem - it's not that Mirage Rock is by anyone's definition a bad record, it's actually a rather accomplished one, slickly made and smoothly played, but it is painfully easy to ignore.
It's those rough edges that are missing. For most of its 40 minutes the record is a love letter to Seventies country rock, to Tom Petty, the Flying Burrito Brothers and the Eagles; less Crazy Horse, and more Crosby, Stills and Nash. It'll probably sell by the bucketload but that's not the point. That doesn't mean we have to love it. Things start pretty well with 'Knock Knock', a sunny, carefree dash with a solid pop heart that harks back to Bridwell's best, a more bubblegum version sure, but a satisfying progression. It's not sustained though- 'How To Live' grasps so desperately for FM Radio it feels like a needy girlfriend shouting "LOVE ME NASHVILLE, LOVE ME!", while somewhere in 'Slow Cruel Hands' there's the germ of something folkish and lovely lost when someone presses the 'country by numbers' switch about two thirds in.
The best of country, the best of Americana, hell, the best of Band of Horses has a strata of melancholy under the surface that is largely absent here. When it does come, especially on closer 'Heartbreak 101', or on 'Long Vows' where the slide guitar feels properly mournful and weepy, it's a reminder of what Bridwell can do, of what could have been. Those touches of real heart are thin on the ground though, the larger part of the record is too slight to be really moving. Like the wallpaper in your house it can be pretty, fun, and makes a nice background to your life, but you're rarely emotionally engaged by it.
When the band cut loose a little and mess with the formula things do look up. 'Dumpster World' swings along innocently enough and gets all grungey in the middle, and 'Fued' is a very welcome step back into that Pavementish lo-fi pop Band of Horses have always dabbled in, but really it's too little too late.
This isn't Cease To Begin, and of course it's unfair to judge Mirage Rock for what it isn't. All artists have the right to evolve, and across three increasingly slick albums we've seen this coming - If Bridwell and company want to shoot for the stars commercially then they've earned that more than most, good on them, we wish them well. There are those that will love this record, for whom it will be the gateway into earlier, richer work. But for those of us who have already been spellbound by what Ben Bridwell can create, this is simply not enough.
