Accepting the evolution of feminism
As women living in the United States in the 21st century, we are privileged to be able to use many terms to define ourselves; sister, mother, daughter, teacher, doctor, politician, scientist, philanthropist, sex-positive feminist, sex-negative feminist, liberal feminist, even radical feminist, to name a few. Now more than ever, overlapping and multiple labels are so common, that it can be hard for us to see through the shades of grey to decide what is best for the blanket term "us."
On March 3, 2014, the Corsair ran a story covering the "Pole Dancing Olympics" held at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. Pole World News is attempting to legitimize what they now refer to as "aerial dancing," even having Olympic aspirations. Having heard coverage of the event on KCRW before ever reading it in the Corsair might have primed me for the piece to the point where I felt no qualms with the fact that we covered it, or how we did. The story was informative and intriguing for many, but also shocking and infuriating for others.
The article gave a good assessment of the event as is, though I feel the coverage failed to indicate a broader point. This was not just an amusing event for a niche market that happened to have accompanying dynamic photography. These women were presenting a historically objectifying act as an acceptable way to get fit, and attempting to legitimize it to the point of eventually making it an Olympic sport.
So what are the broader implications of this? Is this a symptom of privilege run rampant, or are these women rightly reclaiming a previous form of oppression? While I can't speak for everyone, I would like to share opinions that I believe to be held by many of my young generation.
One thing is certain: Western women got to where we are now by way of struggle, and we are forever grateful for the hard battles fought by remarkable women before us. We acknowledge that there is still work to be done, and we would be foolish to declare, "mission accomplished" anytime soon.
But this turn of the century has also brought us into a new phase. The first wave of feminism gained us the right to vote in 1920. The second wave in the 60's and 70's gained more vital ground over a myriad of legal and reproductive rights. And now we are in a third wave of feminism. For us Western women, this new wave is so different from the previous two that we actually need a new term to better define our goals and ourselves.
The label "Feminist" is one that many in my generation have problems completely identifying with, and the way it has been growing sub-headers is indicative of just that. While I personally agree with all the intents attached to the word "Feminist," I cannot help but feel that combative and reactionary behavior accompanies it, which seems restrictive.
The first and second waves battled because they legitimately had to, but now we are in a phase of building, calling for entirely different tactics that better fit our needs and modern world.
There will always be times when it is completely appropriate to say something is patriarchal and harmful to women, and there will be many more when we as women need to call men out on their privilege. It's not always unwarranted to behave in a combative or reactionary way. But the same behavior that broke down walls in the past can close many doors when used today.
What our generation is trying to do is use tactics that don't lack in strength but call upon the kind of subtleties that acknowledge the increasing differences under the term "woman." That's not to say we are waiting until men feel comfortable with the changes we need nor coddling them into acquiescence either. It just means that inclusion is our more dominant approach.
Zury Chavez, treasurer of the Feminist Club at Santa Monica College, mentioned the ways in which we use social media to affect change and that a different approach to feminism is not necessarily less than those that came before us.
"Older feminists feel like our younger generation is not as involved as we actually are. And I don't really agree with that," Chavez said. "We are doing things in different ways, so much so that it seems simple. It just allows people to become more involved."
Redefining the term and our tactics is an important step that my generation needs to take. Over the past week, I've had conversations with Maryam Zar, a former Iranian correspondent, current blogger for the Huffington Post, and the founder of Womanfound, a non-profit building awareness of the struggles of women in undeveloped parts of the world. She has spoken to students at SMC before, and was a great sounding board for this piece.
On redefining the term feminism, Zar suggested, "Feminism in the modern day, in the West, is having the prerogative to demand equality in the eyes of the law and to work towards equal rights in every form of civic and public life. In order to be able to choose one's direction, appearance, and life choices, large and small, without inhibition of societal rules or expectations."
That is something we can all relate to, right?
It's difficult for women to do something sexually suggestive and ask others to look beyond that suggestiveness to see what other values it might hold for women. But it has been done before. In the 1890s, women were fighting for the right to ride a bicycle. Attempts are made now to legitimize the pole. Both are objects that go between our legs, but they do not make us sexual objects by using them.
We understand these are difficult lines to transcend for many women, especially for those who are ingrained in older ways of thinking. Every generation is going to have issues which push the envelope in ways that make the previous generation pause for thought. Especially in a country like the United States, where we have been taught that freedom is our birthright, it is only natural that we seek new arenas where we can express ourselves and explore our complexities.
But while we seek to carve out new spaces and definitions for ourselves, we owe it to previous generations, and women worldwide to do so in unselfish ways, while offering the commentary necessary for proper understanding. If we skip the explanation, we risk losing our audience, our support, and our ground.
Pole Dancing, with all its negativity, is being transformed into Aerial Dancing, a way for women to get fit and a new form of accepted dance in which men also participate. That transformation has value to my generation. Showmanship for the sake of showmanship (i.e. Miley Cyrus' infamously exploitative performance at the MTV Video Music Awards) has no value other than selfish gains for the individual and damages our cause.
Being lewd just to prove you can is childish and holds no value to building the rights of women. But these aerial dancers are doing something different. It's not yet perfect, but part of a larger process that requires analysis, steps, and coverage.
Believing that these women, by making the choice to pole dance, allows others the right to judge them as people who have made bad decisions, fallen from grace, or lived a "life littered with mistakes", is exceptionally outdated. Thinking that they can't possibly have a good reason to make the choice to pole dance, means you are still living decades past.
Those views are paternalistic, even if held by women, and it interferes with the free will of the very women we are trying to protect. Men have done that to us for centuries and it's a destructive trap which we risk falling into. We acknowledge that a woman has the ability to make decisions and act in a way that is best for her. We fought long and hard for that right, and we cannot take it away from ourselves now. Just because a woman is on a pole doesn't mean she is weak and catering to the wills of men.
Historically, women of color have not felt included in the feminist movement. They have had bigger battles to conquer first. Chavez, who identifies as Latin American and whose parents came from El Salvador, agrees with this. But she says that while an increasing number of women of color participate and hold leadership roles in the Feminist movement, it's still not balanced.
"Even when us, as women of color separate ourselves, I see that as a negative thing," Chavez said. "We are supposed to work together regardless of the color of our skin. At the root, we are all women."
When race comes up, Chavez says it can get tricky but it's something that these conversations need. In order for us to be a community, both sides need to accept their respective differences and realize that at the root we are the same, and want the same outcome. Our differences must be recognized, but we can't let them hold us back as a group. There is power in our diversity when all focused towards the same goals. That embrace needs to include not only race, but femininity and sexuality as well.
Another aspect that is especially thorny is when we take into account that the United States is a leader in the feminist movement, when compared to most of the world. While we are busy arguing about poles, there is more focus about education and birth control in other parts of the world. Our pole-centered debate is one that has stemmed from our western world privilege. But that does not mean we should refrain from stretching our own boundaries.
But what we need to do is provide the accompanying commentary that we know is controversial, but this is feminism in its modern form. We have achieved a certain amount of freedom in this part of the world and this is how we will express and maintain it. It might seem over the top to some, but that in itself is a privilege we have attained and we aren't going to give it up.
Our aspirations should only grow, but we have to consider whether our actions are properly inclusive, unselfish, and communicate successfully. We must not shy away from controversy but explain how and why these actions are important to us and promote our cause as women who only want the best for everyone.
This is how young women of my generation can further our cause. This is how we can continue to stress that there should be no limits to what a woman can do. That used to mean accepting a strong, independent woman in pants. But now, that means we need to accept a strong, independent woman whether she is in pants, a short skirt, or on a pole.

Alt is a simpler and prettier interface to NewsBlurJune 25, 2013
Like many people, I had a go at creating a feed reader to fill the gap that Google Reader is about to leave. However, rather than building yet another feed reader backend, I have made use of the NewsBlur API and created an alternative interface to NewsBlur, called Alt.
I built this mostly to cater for how I use a feed reader, so it wouldn't hurt to explain what this is: I get forty or so new items a day between the feeds I follow. I normally check my reader a couple of times a day, and all I ever do (with the very occasional exception) is read through the unread items. Therefore, I've created an interface that lets me do this in the simplest way possible.
Upon logging in with your NewsBlur account, you get a list of items that automatically loads more as you scroll down, much like how Google Reader works. If you have a high enough screen, it looks something like this:
As new items are seen (i.e., get to the top of the visible page), they are automatically marked as "read". They can be "unread" by clicking on the eye icon up the top, next to the date. Keyboard navigation for next/previous is supported with
k. There is a counter up the top of the page that indicates how many unread items are remaining. Clicking on this brings up the list of subscriptions, and from here it's possible to view any individual feed or group of feeds (click on a folder name to show all items from that folder, or click on the folder icon to expand the folder). There are controls at the top of the page to show all items (rather than unread), sort by oldest first (rather than newest), and show only headlines (rather than full items). That's basically all there is to it.
If you're interested in using it, go to altfeedreader.com.
For what I want, there are many advantages and few disadvantages to only creating a frontend, rather than an entire system. I don't have complex needs, so I don't need the backend to do any more than what most backends already do — there's no point reinventing the wheel if you want it to look the same as the old wheel. Furthermore, by not creating and maintaining a backend, my system has far less moving parts, and this makes my life a lot easier (originally I was planning on making an entire system; I did 90% of it, but never quite finished it, mostly because I decided I didn't want the responsibility of running it). Finally, it means that if Alt dropped off the face of the earth, it shouldn't ruin anybodies day, because you can always just go to NewsBlur and use that like nothing happened.
What's next? It depends on whether or not other people start using this, but the first thing to come would be the ability to add and remove subscriptions, and manage folders. I could handle more of the NewsBlur account life cycle by allowing accounts to be created on this site and importing and exporting OPML files. And I could integrate the site more deeply into the NewsBlur system by supporting the social features (etc.) that NewsBlur has.

A Step Forward: How Genes Can Help Us Understand Mental Illness in All Populations
When web developer Madayln Parker needed a mental health day, she opened up to her boss via email.
She sent a message notifying her coworkers she was taking time off to focus on her mental health, and her boss replied with a positive and heartening response that has been retweeted over 10,000 times.
Eliminating stigma is a vital first step toward identifying and treating mental illness. Similarly, the more we understand about the causes of mental illness, the better we will be able to help those who suffer with it. This is where genetics comes in.
The causes of depression and bipolar disorder are not entirely known. As best we can tell, it is the result of some combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors that contribute to, or increase one's risk to becoming mentally ill. Given that genetic factors are the least understood part of this puzzle, we are especially pleased at the Milken Institute's Center for Strategic Philanthropy to be collaborators on a first-of-its kind genetic study with 23andMe and Lundbeck designed to investigate the underlying biology of major depressive and bipolar disorders. This study will combine cognitive assessments with genetic data and survey responses to assess how genes influence brain processes—such as attention, decision-making and visual perception—in individuals who live with these serious mental health conditions.
The ultimate goal of the research is to improve the lives of people living with these conditions through better treatment options.
Bipolar disorder is a chronic brain disorder that causes aberrant shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, and the ability to carry out day-to-day tasks. Depression (major depressive disorder or clinical depression) is a common but serious mood disorder, which causes severe symptoms that affect how you feel, think, and handle daily activities, such as sleeping, eating, or working. The National Institutes of Health estimate that more than 16 million Americans are affected by depression each year, and nearly 6 million Americans suffer from bipolar disorder.
As an African American female, those numbers are particularly striking, especially when you dive deeper into the demographics. According to the Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health, African Americans are 20 percent more likely to experience serious mental health problems than the general population. At the same time, minorities are also less likely to receive diagnosis for their behavioral health issues and have less access to health care.
Given this stark reality, July has been established as Minority Mental Health Month, created to improve access to mental health services for minority communities through increased awareness. I have several loved ones who are directly impacted by mental illness, and I can personally attest to their struggles to find the right doctor and to access appropriate treatments. Mental illness is particularly insidious since patients may not know that they need help, and friends and family are often reluctant to intervene on a loved one's behalf. Yet, once care is accessed, there is great reason for hope. I have personally witnessed how effective and transformative well-managed mental health care can be. And the more we understand about the genetic underpinnings of these diseases, the better able we will be to diagnose and treat vulnerable populations.
We are honored to partner with both 23andMe and Lundbeck, two of the world's most creative pioneers in mental health. To wit, in August 2016, 23andMe published a landmark study with Massachusetts General Hospital, and Pfizer, detailing the scientific connection between genetics and depression. The study launching today will build on last year's good work by combining data from genetics, cognitive tests, and online surveys in hopes of gaining a greater understanding of how genetics is related to brain functions, including attention, decision-making, and reaction time. This study is launching today and seeks to enroll 15,000 individuals with depression and 10,000 individuals with bipolar disease.
Strategic outreach to minority communities will be particularly important, and we hope that all minority groups consider being part of this study, particularly the 16.8 million African Americans in the U.S. who had a diagnosable mental illness in the last year—all of whom can help us figure out the best way to treat and manage mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders in minority communities. Combatting mental illness will reap dividends for generations to come and lead to increased productivity, better educational outcomes, lower crime rates, stronger economies and a better quality of life for all Americans. More information about the study can be found at www.23andMe.com/depression-bipolar. You can also get information about the best way to access mental health treatment here.

ôÈ10m loan book growth at Inspired Capital
Inspired Capital has boosted its loan book by £10m during the first half of 2014, a year after it acquired Bristol-based Ultimate Finance.
The company, formerly known as Renovo, reported a loan book of £48.6m for the six months to 30 June 2014, a 27.6 per cent increase on the same period last year. Its number of clients also rose by more than 200 to 1,085, and revenues increased by 14.4 per cent to £7.2m.
However, pre-tax profit declined to £32,000 from £349,000 following a one-off reorganisation charge of £186,000.
"We acquired Ultimate Finance Group in September last year with a clear long term strategy to be the leading supplier of a broad range of financial products catering specifically to the SME market," said chairman Matt Cooper.
"These results are just the start and indicate that with increased resources allocated to growing the sales force, the core business can be significantly grown."
Brian Cole, who was appointed chief executive of Inspired Capital in May, added: "The results prove that we are well on our way to achieving a step change in the business.
"The group's trading performance in the six months ended 30 June 2014 has been strong and, during the period, significant milestones have been achieved. There is however still much to be done to build a large-scale, transformational SME lender and we will continue to reinvest profits to achieve our aim."
The group's registered office will now be Ultimate Finance's headquarters at Westpoint Court in Bradley Stoke.

(CNN)What started out as a dispute between dockworkers and their employers could be about to become a political nightmare for the Obama administration.
After a contract between West Coast port operators, represented by the Pacific Maritime Association, and dockworkers, represented by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, expired last June, the two parties have been unable to reach an agreement.
A federal mediator requested that the parties not talk about the substance of the negotiations away from the bargaining table, so it's hard to know exactly what's at stake and how far apart they are, though the dispute seems to be focused on work rules and arbitration of future disputes about the contract.
President Barack Obama sent Labor Secretary Tom Perez to California this week to mediate the dispute. The White House and Labor officials would not comment on reports that if no progress was made soon, the talks would be moved to Washington.
A senior administration official said day one of Perez's trip made "tremendous progress." Day two was characterized slightly less enthusiastically: "positive and productive."
Former acting Labor Secretary Seth Harris said Perez's presence puts pressure on the two parties to make progress.
"It puts a great deal more political pressure and profile on the negotiations and, hopefully, shakes things up enough to get the parties to a deal," Harris, now counsel for Dentons and distinguished scholar at Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations, told CNN.
Although the workers are back to work, without a contract in place, there's the risk that the employers could renew a partial or full lockout or workers could strike. The economic impact, according to some estimates, could be billions of dollars in lost commerce.
The dispute affects all industries that ship goods out of the U.S., import goods into the U.S., or have components that are brought into the country through these 29 West Coast ports.
"Car companies are saying they're not able to continue production. Retailers are losing access to product. Agricultural products are rotting in their containers because they can't be shipped overseas," Harris said.
"When all that economic impact began to be felt, it became very difficult for the President to do nothing.
If Perez determines that there's no hope of reaching an agreement, the President could be forced to make a difficult choice..
Under the Taft-Hartley Act,, if the President concludes that a strike or labor dispute is a threat to the country's health or safety, he can go to court and seek an injunction to force everybody back to work.
This is where a labor dispute could become a more complicated political issue.
Obama is on track to send Congress legislation that will give him fast-track trade authority, an essential tool to win congressional approval of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade deal with 11 Pacific Rim nations, making it the largest trade deal in American history.
The labor movement is generally strongly opposed to fast-track authority and the Trans Pacific Partnership.
"If the President intervenes on behalf of management or does something that is perceived to be better for management than for unions in this labor dispute, that could inflame an already difficult discussion with the labor movement about trade," said a former senior administration official.
It's happened before. In 2002, President George W. Bush was placed in similar circumstances during a ports labor dispute. He directed then-Labor Secretary Elaine Chao to find a resolution, but Chao was not able to get the two sides to agree. Bush went to court to secure an injunction that forced the parties back to work, a move that was criticized by AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka and other labor leaders.
If the parties fail to reach an agreement despite Secretary Perez's mediation efforts, pressure on President Obama to act from business groups, like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Retail Federation, and members of Congress will mount.
"There's a big question mark about what President Obama does next if there is no contract and the slow down in the ports continues," Harris said.

Welcome to the Swords and Wizardry Appreciation Day at iDungeon Crawl. In case you wandered here without knowing what's going on, today across the OSR community we're showing our appreciation for Swords and Wizardry, a retro clone published by Mythmere Games. If you don't have it yet, you can download a free copy of the core rules from the previous link. You can also find more information about what S&W is, but the short version is S&W is a cleaned up clone of an early version of D&D. S&W and other retro clones can exist legally due to the existence of the OGL and some various functions of copyright law. More reading on the OSR in general, and retro-clones in particular can be found elsewhere on the web, but are outside the scope of today's events. For more Swords and Wizardry appreciation today check the list of participating blogs over at Tenkar's Tavern.
Swords and Wizardry was the very first game that brought the OSR and it's related community to my attention. Some years ago (2009 if the timestamp on the file is any indication), I was browsing the web searching for information about the older editions of D&D. I'm not entirely sure why or what path led me there, though it might have had something to do with the death of D&D creators Gary Gygax (2008) and Dave Arneson (2009). Regardless I soon stumbled upon the Swords and Wizardry core rules, which had just had their 3rd printing. Here was a chance for me to play original D&D and give it a try without dropping a bundle of hard earned cash on some books from a collector. Ultimately, the core rules make some (very handy) changes to the original rules that made it "less pure" than I was aiming for at the time, and that "impurity" sent me on a hunt through out the rest of the OSR in search of more "pure" versions. This caused me to discover such great games as Labyrinth Lord, OSRIC, Dark Dungeons and many of the blogs and links listed in the side bar. I still had though a soft spot for S&W and eventually returned to it (in its 4th printing, with my custom bookmarks) as my go to game for my first attempt at DMing a game.
Unfortunately, there was one thing that appeared in that 3rd printing of the rules that were subsequently eliminated from the 4th printing, which were the race-as-class versions of the Dwarf and Elf classes. While I'm generally ambivalent about race-as-class, I very much enjoyed the 3rd printing S&W interpretation of the Elf, which was a dual classed fighter / magic user that could switch classes each day as the need arose. A similar version of the class is preserved in the Whitebox version of the S&W rules, but I still liked the original. So to kick off today's festivities, here's the advancement chart for the elf variant as it appeared in the 3rd printing:

Twitter gets into the coupon business to woo advertisers
You can now get discounts to physical stores simply by surfing Twitter.
The company has introduced "Twitter Offers," which allow any retailer to turn a promoted post into a coupon. Once a Twitter user adds their credit card information to the application, they can click a promoted offer post and the discount will be linked to their card.
When they go to buy the product at the physical store, the markdown will automatically be deducted at checkout if they use the same credit card: no physical coupon necessary.
Coupons may not sound like the sexiest endeavor, but this is a substantial step for Twitter in the world of commerce. It's a tool to woo retailers, the second in its arsenal after the recently introduced buy button, which allows Twitter users to purchase a retail product from a promoted post without ever leaving the application.

Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas has criticised Gareth Bale's refusal to train with the team this week and has said the club are considering fining their want-away star.
The Welshman is desperate to push through his world record transfer to Real Madrid and is said to be "furious and frustrated" at Spurs' handling of the deal.
Bale was in Spain over the weekend hoping to put the final touches on his mega-money move but returned to London still a Tottenham player.
He has since failed to turn up for training at the Premier League club's Enfield base for the previous two days, angering Villas-Boas who admitted Bale's switch to Madrid "could happen very, very soon".

Therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest: implementation in UK intensive care units
© BioMed Central Ltd. 2010
- Published: 1 March 2010
- Cardiac Arrest
- Ventricular Fibrillation
- Therapeutic Hypothermia
- Target Temperature
- Cold Fluid
In 2003 the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) published guidelines recommending all patients admitted comatose to hospital following an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with an initial rhythm of ventricular fibrillation should be treated with therapeutic hypothermia for a period of 12 to 24 hours [1]. We aimed to determine how many units are using hypothermia as part of their post-cardiac arrest management and when each of the ICUs implemented the therapy. Other objectives were to determine what cooling techniques are being used, the target temperature and the duration of cooling used.
The 248 UK ICUs listed in the Directory of Critical Care Services were contacted by telephone by one of the authors. The duty ICU consultant or nurse in charge was asked a standardised set of questions.
Generalised implementation of this clinical guideline in the UK has taken about 5 years but now the majority of ICUs are using therapeutic hypothermia as part of post-cardiac arrest management.

Some Rules of Basic Web Design
Present day innovation is progressing and advancing at a completely astounding rate, and it is hinting at no easing up at any point in the near future. Due to this, with the goal for organizations to stand any possibility of being effective and of remaining in front of their rivals, do they require a site, as well as they require a professionally-outlined, completely enhanced site all the while. Web composition administrations are at present in higher request than at any other time, yet with respect to website composition, the principles are continually changing, so website compositions must be in front of their amusement in the event that they expect on making enhanced and proficient sites for their customers. To include a little piece more straightforwardness and clarity, here we'll be investigating 4 guidelines of fundamental website architecture criteria, which are basic for the production of incredible sites.
Effortlessness is key – before, many website composition specialists really wound up making life significantly more troublesome for themselves and for their customers than it should have been, by attempting to be excessively astute and by taking a stab at, making it impossible to incorporate a lot of when they were making sites for their customers. As opposed to attempting to pack however much data, content, and media onto every page as could reasonably be expected, it is significantly more viable to keep things straightforward, and to receive an a great deal more moderate approach. Consider it from the perspective of a guest to the site. When you visit a site, would you rather be confronted with a great many walls of content, endless pictures, joins, and different diversions, or would you rather have the capacity to see precisely what you were searching for? By keeping things straightforward, sites are much less demanding to explore, so guests will have a substantially more agreeable experience.
Configuration must be important – When you have a site made, the general plan and design of the site ought to mirror your business somehow or another. In the event that your organization hues are blue and red for instance, the plan and design could incorporate these hues some place, in addition to you may wish to have your organization logo in the corner. Keep in mind, the vibe and look of your site is one of the principal things guests will see, so attempt to have a plan made that is pertinent to your business.
Sites must be responsive – Responsive outline is basic for the making of sites these days, which implies that all elements must be considered. For instance, versatile well disposed adaptations of sites MUST be made, because of the way that such a variety of individuals now utilize advanced mobile phones to peruse the web. With a specific end goal to actualize exceptionally responsive website composition, many web engineers are utilizing CSS media inquiries, and are having extraordinary outcomes. Keep recordings and media can back off the responsiveness of a page, and a moderate site is an outright bad dream to explore, so ensure you remember that at the top of the priority list.

Welsh Rarebit
Cheese sauce with silky butter-fried leeks on crusty slices of sourdough bread and baked until golden and bubbling makes Welsh Rarebit the ultimate comfort food.
Welsh Rarebit probably has some very interesting story about where and why it originated but quite frankly, I don't care about that. I'm just extremely thankful that someone thought it was a good idea to put oozy, gooey cheese sauce on hot, toasted bread, because they were right.
This has extra special meaning to me, because Welsh Rarebit was my mom's version of comfort food. When I was sick, my mom would make me sweet, milky tea and toast smothered in butter and bovril. When I was sad, about boys or school or whatever the reason, she would make me Welsh Rarebit. There is just something about biting through salty, creamy sauce into a crispy piece of toast. I'm salivating just thinking about it. It's almost like eating potato bake, you know it's not good for your body, but man-oh-man, is it good for your soul!
Served with a mixed salad, this turns into a beautiful lunch or light supper which is just so perfect for the amazing Spring evenings we've been having. To make it a more substantial meal, you could add savoury mince, fried bacon or some grilled chicken ontop of the toast before topping it with the cheese sauce, but I chose to keep my Welsh Rarebit recipe simple. I just fried some leeks and garlic in butter and turned that into the cheese sauce.
Easy, delicious, comforting..what more could you ask for?
Welsh Rarebit
For the sauce
- 4 tbsp butter
- 4 leeks finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves crushed
- 4 tbsp flour
- 2-3 cups milk
- ½ tsp paprika
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- pinch of nutmeg
- 1 cup mature cheddar grated
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- In a saucepan, heat the butter and fry the leeks and garlic until soft.
- Stir in the flour until a roux is formed and slowly whisk in the milk. I only add 2 cups milk at the beginning to ensure that the sauce isn't too thin. You want the sauce to be thick enough to not ooze off the toast completely.
- Lower the heat and allow the sauce to cook gently until the 'floury' taste has disappeared. Add the seasonings and the cheddar and take off the heat. Stir until the cheese has melted and adjust the seasoning.
- Heat the grill of the oven and toast the bread on both sides until nice and golden and crisp.
- Top with a few spoonfuls of the sauce and place back under the grill. Cook until golden and bubbling then remove from the oven and serve.
Creamed spinach grilled cheese sandwich
I made this last night. I made it for supper since I was seriously liss for something chessy. I made individual bacon cups and put in salad smothered in a Feta and Garlic Salad dressing (home made ^^).
My family LURVED it. I only made 5 pieces because I wanted one… I made two for my dad and two for my brother. My other brother and mom have cut out bread. *g* My brother who cut out bread had a piece and a half (my other brother gratefully shared his piece *g*).
Anyway. The end result was: 'Jo, is that it?! Why didn't you make more!'… I added a bit of feta to the cheese sauce because the cheddar I had used was very … flavourless. We used to buy all of our cheese in bulk from a farm but they've since closed their doors and I am left trying to find the right flavour cheddar… was delicious though!
Definitely going to keep this in my repertoire 😀 Thanks so much. Gonna try out one of your other recipes soon!
Cheesy goodness! Gotta love it.
My mom also used to make us toast with bovril & tea when sick – is that in the mom's manual? 🙂
Ally, this is one of my all time favorites. But then again, what is not to like about melted cheesy goodness!! Love the ooze factor of your photos!
This looks so delicious! Omg! =) My folks are coming back from Joburg tomorrow. Mayhaps I'll have this waiting for them when they get back! Thanks!
so delicious ! am sure it took many a heartache away in the past !

1st Instagram: Underliner
Underliners are not strictly black or white aspect. Ash Meredith and Olivya explained the options of Technicolor. Because of its blue tendency, Ash Meredith embroidered the pigment Danessa Meticks Metals in shine. Olivia became completely monochrome with Sugarpill's Flamepoint Press eye shadow as a liner due to her appearance.
2nd song: neon
The light Brite shade dominated the 2018 spring roller coaster after abandonment for several years, for more neutral and warm shades. For eye make-up, Chromat placed Neon Orange in the inner corner of the eye of the model. Lime green clouds were visible on the eyelids of Byblos, Novis was yellow in the sun.
You can keep fluorescent color on your lips like Maison Margiela (upper middle), Sonia Rykiel (lower left), Gucci (lower right). In Maison Margiela, McGrath completely panicked her lipstick Pat McGrath Labs Lust MatteTrance. Electric matte fuchsia was drawn in a "grouped" shape.
3rd Instagram: Neon
Wing liners do not necessarily require a black formula. These makeup artists in Instagram convince us of the neon color. Emma Halliday (upper left) and FlexMami (lower right) used a fun fluorescent film and @ strashme made a spectacular shape with Scrunchie's Suva Beauty Hydra Liner.
If you do not know the eyes of your cat, you can paint lime green shades on eyelids like Nischena.
4 songs: high gloss
With the last shine of lip gloss, the beauty products of the 1990s are vitreous and more reflective than ever. Make-up artists Yang Li, Haider Ackermann, Philosophy, Naeem Khan have overcome the brilliant red lipstick of the favorite fluorescent pen.
5th Instagram: Shine
You can see your reflections on the lips of these makeup artists in Instagram. Dashboards Grace, Victor Ramos, Brooklyn (counterclockwise) draw a shiny shiny nude lipstick. (Grace On Dash caught Fenty Beauty 's shining bomb in case you are in doubt). But Martha Butterworth had a base in Fuchsia.

Gert Holbek is probably the oldest Danish pipe maker – after the death of Sixten Ivarsson –, since he was born in 1928. He is for sure the oldest active pipe maker and definitely the one who has been in the business for the longest time: he started with Poul Rasmussen in 1953. After 1½ years and more than ten thousand pipe repairs, he opened his own workshop and has made pipes ever since. For a number of years he produced about two hundred pipes per year, which were all sold through Pibe Dan, until the shop closed in 1991.
Pibe Dan's English catalogues from the 1960s made his name famous in Europe, Japan, and the United States. In the last years the number of pipes produced has decreased considerably, but he still can not a resist the appeal of a beautiful briar block. The few pipes he creates are almost exclusively sold to Japan, where he has had devoted customers for many years.

National Security Advisor Susan Rice explained that the training process for Syrian rebels would take "many months" and that Americans should not expect "rapid or immediate fruit" from the program.
Rice joined White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest at the White House Press Briefing to brief reporters on the president's plans.
Rice praised Congress for passing authorization and funding for the Syrian rebel training program, adding that the White House would "move out as rapidly as can be done."
She explained that before the trainees were brought in, they needed to be vetted and the training facilities still needed to built in partnership with host countries.
Rice also said she did not have a "precise deadline" for the effort but said that they were moving "as fast as we reasonably can."

I think it was Will Rogers, the great American humorist, when he was asked about why he was so funny when talking about politics, he said, "There is no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you."
Grab a cup of coffee, I am just going to write about my yesterday. PMS, idiocy, stupidity, the joy of seeing a Bratwurst vendor. I have no idea where today's adventure will go?
Did you ever have a day where you woke up, were told that everything about you was wrong and you had the apparent value of a coffee stain on the floor and from that moment, it actually got worse, even weirder?
That was my Sunday. For the female readers, Please realize men will not have a clue what menstruation cramps and pains are really like, or what happens when the hormone levels go out of synch like gravity effects high tides on full moons.
You have to remember, we are men. We are simple beings. Sort of like amoeba, or perhaps on a good day a paramecium. It takes very little to amuse us. We can be just happy saying nothing and building some idea or thing.
If you want to get us to understand menstrual pain while spewing forth everything wrong about us, try saying this, "Imagine that you just ate two dozen hot wings, a full pepperoni and sausage pizza, then three chili dogs, 6 spicy tacos, and washed it all down with a case of beer and a dozen fresh krispy kreme glazed donuts." (Stop talking for a moments and allow our primitive minds to savor each delicious bite of the food. It is critical you stop talking for a few seconds for this to work - the first that speaks looses)
When the primate grunts and says, "wow, that sounds great!" reply, "now, imagine that you ate all that and you had a cork inserted into your anus for 3-4 days where nothing could escape."
While crude and rudimentary, this analogy would garner some sympathy from men for when your loved one can't find one thing you can do while raging in her hormonal cocktail that men just will never understand, nor will women ever understand how their behavior changes towards the ones they love.
So now, you have the start of the day. Pretty terrific eh? I hope someone gets the humor out of it.
Being the kind, benevolent and caring man I am, I did the best thing I knew for my self preservation, I got out of dodge a bit earlier than needed to go work a football game. When I checked the time, I thought, "I have a few moments where can walk around the little old village before the game. I had seen it many times in the bus and it looked really interesting.
This is one odd point of contention in Europe. During the wars, Switzerland remained neutral. To many of us, we don't really understand this, but the Swiss constitution says the country will only go to war if attacked. I joke that in 24 hours you could have the largest standing army, as everyone has a gun, but the bullets are carefully controlled. So one fascinating fact about Switzerland, is pretty much everyone is trained to shoot rifles and machine guns, yet, there is scant gun crime in the country. The other part is that you can see many old original buildings that were not destroyed and had to be rebuilt during the war. If you go over to where they built zeppelins by crossing the Bodensee – you will see that the towns were basically leveled in bombing raids.
That is why I enjoy Switzerland quite a bit. You can be walking into many old original buildings. It is a testament to the craftsmen of Europe.
Where was I?I am lost here.
Ah yes, so I walk along this little town street and admire some interesting shops. It is Sunday, the weather is beautiful, and I am overjoyed to be doing some sort of work outside of sitting in front of the computer planning the future and Colorado.
I took some nice photos, wished an old cigar shop were open so I could see inside, and kept walking along a quite, almost deserted little town. I went into a magnificent church, talked to god, saw one of the more interesting paintings of Jesus, came and hope to have taken a few good images of old doors, windows and interesting stuff.
As I walked by the market, I and looked at a poster on a Shoppe window
"FOOTBALL! Samstagg, Novemember 1, and the two teams logos with some German writing I didn't understand, but realized it was about the same time as the game I was to work.
I seriously had a brain meltdown, almost crapped my pants, and as I thought, "huh? It is November 2; I thought the game was on Sunday? Oh my god, I missed the freaking game? No, tell me I didn't do that."
Now I actually thought my wife was might be right, I was an idiot that could not even get the date of a game right. It is not like there are many of them, "yes boss, sorry, I am an idiot, I forgot simple German numbers and days of the week."
"No problems, mark, have a nice life, no need for you to remember on account of us ever again."
I looked around for the sign of fans or anyone wearing the colors, there were none, my heart dropped even further, "How can I forget the right day? I swear the game was today. I swear the game was on Sunday?"
Panic setting in got the better of me and I pulled the laptop out to see if I put the right dates down for my wife to put in her uber organized and categorized life. I guess opposites attract?
Sunday, November 2nd – game.
That is when full panic set in. "How could I have written in the wrong day and date? I really am an idiot.
All I could do on the bus to the arena was how to write an apology letter to a group that allows me a chance to work, despite the huge language issue. A guy got on with what looked like a players work out uniform. After working with the NFL and NBA – the stuff the players wear is not the same "fan club" stuff they advertise. Then I thought, "He must be on his way for physical therapy for injury." As you can tell, I was thinking European football was like American football – in a few weeks, everyone is wrecked and you tape together all your body parts.
As we approached the arena, there was no big crowd, only four people sitting at an outdoor table.
Then I saw a bratwurst-vending stand being set up. It was as if heaven opened up in front of me.
I used to be in charge of moving several dozen trucks and hundreds of people around the planet to sell food and merchandise for shows. So the irony of me being able to realize some even was going to happen that day gave me a glimmer of hope that I did have the right days to come work. I have never forgotten a show or event before…that is over 4,000 plus. (yes, most of the time i had no idea what city, country or which hotel i was staying - make not to write about japan tours in future)
I digress, I have never been so happy to see a St Gallen Bratwurst vendor in my life. I even took pictures of his delicious fare.
But I didn't push my luck in telling him that when I moved to Switzerland and someone served St. Gallen Olma bratwurst, I asked for some mustard.
The truth is you don't' need anything with this sausage. It is truly delicious as is, no condiment needed.
My brother in law still jokes me today when I get on his nerves, "mark, remember I didn't report you to the local authorities when you asked to put mustard on St Gallen Olma Bratwurst. That is like a cardinal sin in Switzerland!"
The game and all went smoothly, I watched and calculated how much cheaper it is to operate an football team versus the astronomical costs with American football.
I still don't know if they send players to acting school? Or is it a genetically learned anomaly of the laws of physics where players will not actually ever come in contact with each other and one falls to the ground, for a few moments appearing mortally injured – only to miraculously heal and play on a few moments later.
What this does, is give me hope that I probably will always be an idiot in my wife's eyes who can't be the super organized, well groomed fashionista that can talk for hours about whatever it is women talk about. Her only hope is that I mysteriously turn gay and then we can yak away about skin exfoliation, color palettes and decorating.
But alas, I might be more compassionate to heavy cramping and PMS, as the thought of ingesting massive quantities of junk food and being literally, "plugged up" as a man – probably is as close as we will understand to our females monthly pain. Men will understand, "Imagine not being able to flatulate for a few days? All that gas backed up inside you!"
Maybe I should not have asked my wife, "Want to go to the doctor?"
Damn, the reaction of how big an idiot I am really increased greatly after saying that.
Thankfully, I still run fast. If you actually read all this, send along an email with your shirt size, I think I will create a t-shirt or something. Understanding PMS gives me hope that one day I will be able to speak German.
Well? A guy has to look for any possible silver lining in the clouds of PMS strorms. The other thing is that my wife won't read this blog. Few do. the best place to hide something you don't want to really be found is in plain view.
The last line just opened up another post idea, about if telling yoru mom what you really were doing as a kid..."no you weren't!" (have to be careful, i think my mom drops in from time to time.)

Thank Goodness for these!
Here is a tip: Do not send these jars out with lunch boxes. They do NOT come back, even if the lunch belongs to a responsible person like a HUSBAND. Thank goodness for these replacement jars, now he can pretend he didn't loose one.
I would recommend this product to a friend.

I've been on the front lines of those ridiculing the idea that torture doesn't work (really? How'd we find bin ladin?), saying that I would do just about anything were the lives of my family – or the life of my country – in danger made imminent by a person shackled in front of me, and that waterboarding isn't "torture" (if it isn't enormous pain or disfigurement, it isn't 'torture,' and getting wet isn't torture).
I have supported EIT as I have understood it.
I also have supported the release of the Feinstein report. Why? Because I believe in the Rule of Law. I believe that nothing the government does that is not directly connected with national security – and ten-yr-old interrogations aren't – ought to be withheld from We the People who actually are – and need to start acting as we are – in charge around here.
I expect that Ms Feinstein and the Democrats shortly will release the complete reports on Fast & Furious, IRS v Tea Party, Benghazi, FEC decisions not to indict NBP for voter harassment, etc. Not to do so will ensure that whatever value brought to our society by her CIA report is not actually about the Rule of Law, but about partisan politics, a personal grudge and a need to offset the Gruber testimony on the day of the release of the report.
In all candor, I wasn't going to read yet another partisan report hammering activities of a former administration by the most partisan, lawless, non-transparent and anti-American administration in the history of America. What's the point? He-said-he-said. If I want my Constitution I can keep my Constitution.
In the direction of ex-post-facto criminalization of activities deemed lawful at the time lies every administration imprisoning its predecessor, and that won't work out well for America or the world.
Then I read sections of the Feinstein report.
The value of the Feinstein report is similar to the value of Edward Snowden's reports: Our understanding of these government programs has been less – far less – than complete. In a free society that is wrong.
If you have not yet read any of the "highlights" of the report, I'd like to recommend doing so prior to, as did I, engaging in punditry without knowledge.
My son convinced me to read the report. He is a very bright, historically-aware, well-educated libertarian-leaning young man. I am glad he did so.
I have used arguments such as:
• I'd do just about anything to stop another 9-11
• Waterboarding a few guys to stop a massive terror attack on the US is legit
• If EITs stopped an attack that would have killed thousands, it's all good with me.
But – you know what? It isn't.
(My bin laden example, above? Killing bin laden – a bad guy, sure, but a guy out of the fight for years, old and dying of kidney failure anyway – was nothing but an ego salve to Obama and Americans, a head on a stake outside the castle walls. His death had no strategic or tactical value. It was theater, plain and simple. And if this is what it took to kill him, then we didn't need to kill him. )
I would not do or condone having done in my name these kinds of things. It wasn't just waterboarding and it wasn't just a few guys.
More than that, however, is the idea that we – Americans – have put in place leaders who could countenance these actions, or that we are hiring people capable of them to begin with.
But – as I noted above – would I do these things if my family or my country were in imminent danger? I can't answer other than to say, 'I hope not,' as I have no idea how I would live with myself afterwards; at that point it's a lose-lose proposition with only the (perhaps outdated) concept of honor to advise me against it.
Many on the Right today are comparing collateral civilian deaths from drone assassinations to these, as though some moral equivalency exists.
It doesn't.
An attack with an explosive in combat kills everyone within range. If the target is of high enough value that he must be killed – and making those decisions is why we elect presidents – then killing him supersedes the death of those around him. It's a war, folks, and there are no good choices in war; there are only choices between "bad" and "worse."
I can accept the deaths of civilians – even women and children – in an act of war taken to kill a high value target. How do you think we won WW2? Did you think there were no women & children in Dresden? Berlin? Tokyo? Hiroshima? Those all are "bad."
If the goal is worth going to war, you've already made the decision that achieving that goal is more important than human lives. Now you're just picking which lives.
If the goal is not worth going to war – to win, then any killing, maiming or torture done is immoral. THAT is the issue America has refused to face since 1945.
As I have written many times, the only way ISIS is going to be stopped is by nuking them, by using our most productive weapons on our most lethal enemies, and that doing so would be far more moral than sending our educated western liberal young men out to trade bullets with illiterate fanatics of a pre-modern death cult. (We killed over 2M Vietnamese in 15 years of conventional warfare. Would a nuke or two on Hanoi in 1962 have killed that many? Nope. Ended the problem? Yep. Hiroshima and Nagasaki saved between 9-10M Japanese lives. Using nukes was – and is – the moral choice. Productivity counts, more in war than any other endeavor.)
But these black sites and this torture have nothing to do with imminent danger. This choice was "worse."
If you can stand a guy up on his own broken foot for 48 hours, "imminent" isn't in the equation. Don't believe me? "The American Fighting Man's Code of Conduct" Section V, says, "…I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability." Our training, when I was a cadet at USAFA, was that 48 hours is all the "utmost ability" you need, that's long enough for any high-value intelligence to have been altered on the event of our capture; plans would be changed; give it up.
If you shackle a naked man to a cold concrete floor until he dies of hypothermia, what possible intelligence value did you hope to gain?
If you shove pureed food up a man's butt in order to "feed" him and it hasn't already crossed your mind that you're acting as a depraved and utterly inhuman human being, I – literally – don't want you on my side.
Do I believe Sen Feinstein released this report to further the Rule of Law? Of course not. Absent reports on the lawbreaking of THIS administration, which does not even have the trappings of national security in mind, it is impossible to believe that. Her release is partisan and an exercise in revenge for CIA spying on her – which, in and of itself was an inexcusable encroachment of the Executive Branch onto the Legislative. Would that Congress was so exercised by lawless amnesty and Obamacare changes.
But I am glad she released it.
America IS better than this.
But we are better than the lawless man in the oval office, too.
