South of Coniston in the pretty village of Torver, perched on the fell slopes sits a magnificent whitewashed detached cottage. With forests behind and commanding views across the village and valley beyond, this period home has to be seen to be believed.
From its peaceful and idyllic situ, High Park is a unique cottage offering a real home from home feel. Once visited, never forgotten.
Torver is an undiscovered gem, home to two cracking local pubs, only a 20 minute walk to the shores of Coniston Water, brilliantly located for fell walking and has some of the best mountain biking around.
The amenities of Coniston village are all also within walking distance, a pleasant 3 miles stroll along the old railway line footpath. Alternative footpaths are also nearby, heading towards the lake, into the surrounding fells or up The Old Man of Coniston.
Ground floor
Access is gained from the back door through a cloakroom with Belfast sink and tiled floor, excellent for disrobing of outdoor gear prior to entering the country kitchen. Though well equipped with all mod cons, gas hob, electric oven, microwave, fridge & dishwasher the kitchen also has a real rural feel. There's also a utility room with freezer, washing machine & tumble dryer, perfect should you need to revitalise any outdoor clothing.
From the kitchen you can access the snug, with log burning stove, TV & DVD player. An ideal bolt hole for family members to escape one another, either children from parents or vice versa, or even grandparents away from everyone! From this room a patio door leads out to a terrace the length of the house, with easterly views across the valley. From the snug there are stairs up to double bedroom and en suite, making this part of the house a standalone annex if needed.
Back towards the other living areas, a period Minton tiled hallway leads from the glassed front door and takes you either to a spacious dining room which comfortably sits 8 or into the main sitting room with log fire, TV, CD player & valley views. Simply relax in comfort, enjoy the open fire or simply gaze out the windows at the views.
First floor
Big wide stairs at the end of the hallway lead you up to a large galleried landing. Here you'll find a massive bathroom, bathed in colour, from light pouring through the stained glass window. An equally massive bath and walk-in shower match the size of the room along with W.C and bidet. There's also three king size rooms which look out across the valley and farmlands below, all tastefully decorated, with wooden floors and big beds.
Bedroom 1 - king size bed.
Bedroom 2 - king size bed.
Bedroom 3 - super king size bed (or twin single beds).
Second Floor (above snug)
Bedroom 4 - king-size bed & en-suite shower room & WC.
The beautiful cottage garden has manicured lawns and a monkey-puzzle tree which stands tall. What a perfect spot to sit and relax, watch the wildlife, like the local woodpeckers and cuckoos (or your little wild ones!) enjoying the garden. There is also an extensive terrace with garden furniture, perfect for al fresco dining and summer evenings.
Adjacent to the main house is a barn/store for mountain bikes and outdoor equipment. This area of the barn also has an enclosed area for pets.

Local Activities
Torver and the nearby Crake & Woodland Valleys, are beautiful and tranquil areas well worth visiting and exploring. The landscapes here have changed little over time, with farming and forestry still very much in evidence. In springtime the nearby woods that dot the landscape are carpeted with wild garlic and scented bluebells, and away from the noise of the traffic the wildlife and bird song can be truly appreciated.
The area is very popular with walkers and cyclists of all abilities who enjoy escaping the central Lakes crowds. Peaks such as the Old Man of Coniston, can be accessed from the area. Should you be looking for something a little less challenging then the idyllic Torver Common or nearby Beacon Tarn are all popular walking spots.
For cycling enthusiasts there are some fantastic trails to be found in the area and the delights of Grizedale Forest are only a short ride away. For runners of all abilities the Lakeland Trail series visits Coniston village yearly offering 5k, 10k, marathon and half marathon options. A favourite events amongst visitors and locals is the annual Coniston 14, 13.9 miles of scenic beauty as runners of all ages lap Coniston Water. For endurance athletes the Montane Lakeland 100 & Lakeland 50 events depart from Coniston each July and a whole host of water sports can be enjoyed down at the boating centre. Lastly for those who come to walk the area, no trip to Coniston would be complete without a climb up the Old Man of Coniston.

Our ninth year at this house, luckily the weather was on our side. Hoorah! Mountain Biking and Go Ape at Grizedale is a must for the adventure seekers. Lovely walk along the ridge to Coniston Old Man. The walk up to the water fall through the forest at the back of the house was peaceful and tranquil, a must. The view is lovely, I loved sitting on the window seat reading, it was so tranquil and calm. There are lots of places to explore, play hide-and-seek and take great photos!

An incredible stay! The home is lovely and a great place to stay. It is in a great location in the Lake District, near Coniston. We went on beautiful walks nearby and had great access to all of the lakes by driving. The accommodation is well suited for any number of visitors, I myself stayed in the cosy annex, which was lovely and peaceful. Given the chance, I would love to stay here again.
K.A May 2018
Visiting the Lakes has been entirely enjoyable! I have seen all of the seasons in our three days here ? even a brief heatwave! It has been lovely to come out here and visit a part of England I have never seen. Thank you.

Another relaxing week in this lovely house; our 8th week since 2008. We were not lucky with the weather this week, so took the opportunity to visit Dove Cottage, Allan Bank and the cinema in Ambleside. Our two youngest loved the indoor skate park in Barrow! We managed a climb up Wetherlam and some sailing on the lake. We also visited the Ruskin Museum in Coniston -recommended. We hope to come back next October. Fingers crossed for better weather! Thank you.

A small political party registered a candidate Thursday for the July 21 Upper House election with the same name as the party head, who can't run because of a past criminal conviction.
New Party Daichi, headed by Muneo Suzuki, 65, a former Lower House lawmaker, registered on its proportional representation list a 73-year-old with the same name. He is a company president and head of a nonprofit environment group.
"I will do my best, as having the same name (as the party leader) must be fate," Suzuki told reporters in Kimitsu, Chiba Prefecture, where he lives. He is among 11 candidates being fielded by the party.
The two Suzukis happened to meet decades ago and have kept in touch because their names are identical, down to the exact same kanji.
The head of the party, who once served as deputy chief Cabinet secretary, lost his Lower House seat in September 2010 after he was convicted of taking bribes and other offenses.
The Hokkaido native spent a year in prison through December 2011 and is now seeking a retrial. His civil rights have been suspended for five years.

Central air conditioning (AC) is a wonderful thing—except when it isn't practical. You may have a second building that needs AC, or a refurbished garage or attic that swelters in the summer. You can use the windows, but those are bulky, noisy, and cut out 50% of the window light. The solution? An in-wall air conditioner! They're quiet, efficient, and will keep you cool!
1Pick a location where the AC will be installed. Try not to locate above electrics and electronics because they may be damaged by condensation from the discharge air grates on very humid days.
- Plan to keep the bottom of the unit 1 to 5 feet (30 to 150 cm) from the floor to minimize dust from the floor clogging the filter, and condensation forming on the ceiling.
2Locate the wall studs. Use a stud finder, visually inspect baseboards for nail heads, or rap on the walls with your knuckles—you can hear the sound change from hollow to solid as you rap over a stud.[1] X Research source (Commonly, studs are 16 inches apart in the U.S.)
- Lightly indicate with pencil on the wall where these studs lie.
- Roughly indicate the layout of the AC unit on the wall, in such a way that the number of studs to be removed are minimized.
3Clear the area. Remove any molding above and below the intended opening location.
- Remove the drywall between those studs indicated from the floor to the ceiling first by scoring the wall with a razor blade (utility knife) along the inside of the studs.[2] X Research source
- With a hammer or gloved fist, knock out just enough drywall to locate any wires or other obstructions that could be damaged with a saw.
- Use of a utility knife works surprisingly well on drywall, and will result in the least amount of dust and risk of damaging wires and pipes in the wall space. To use the knife, repeatedly score the wall top to bottom. You do not need to completely penetrate through the drywall—just get through 1/2 to 3/4 of the thickness. A sharp hit on the wall with a gloved fist will break the drywall along the scored line.
- Alternately, you can saw out the drywall by cutting as close as possible to the side of the studs. Use of hand saws made for drywall will minimize dust. If using a Sawzall or similar, a helper with a vacuum following your cutting path will reduce dust considerably.
- Remove the insulation.
- Remove the center stud(s) if needed to accommodate the AC unit.
4Transfer the dimensions of the AC unit or sleeve to the inside of the outside wall.
- Set the placement of the exhaust opening so that the top will fall just under the edge of a full clapboard, shingle, or other siding section—wherever it will be most aesthetically pleasing (or rather, least aesthetically displeasing).
5Create the hole for the outside of the unit. Mark the outside opening using a template if provided by the AC manufacturer, or draw one in.
- If you draw your own template, use a framing square and level to ensure that your opening is level and square.
- Add 1/4 inch to the height of the opening. This additional 1/4 inch will allow the unit to be angled slightly downward on the outside to prevent condensation and rainwater from collecting in the unit and leaking inside the house. If you have a specific point for the top of the opening, add this 1/4 inch to the bottom for the new line to cut.
- Carefully create the opening by cutting along the lines with a Sawzall.
6Build supports. Cut a stud to fit against the two studs that make the sides of the opening created for the AC unit.
- Level and install at the bottom edge of the AC unit location.
- Cut a board to fit between the wall stud on the floor in the wall space and the bottom AC support installed in the previous step.
- Screw or nail these studs to the existing studs. There should be three (possibly four if the unit is very large) new vertical studs in the space below the unit; all of which run from the bottom to the underside of the horizontal support; one in the middle, one against the existing left stud and one against the existing right stud.
7Fabricate a header. It will be the top of the framework for the opening.
- Cut two (2 x 4 construction) or three (2 x 6 construction) pieces of the same length from a 2-by. Cut one or two (again, 1 for 2x4 or 2 for 2x6 construction) strips of 1/2" plywood the same size as the 2-bys.
- Place the plywood strips between the 2-bys and nail or screw together. The completed header thickness should be very close to 3-1/2 or 5-1/2 inches (for 2x4 or 2x6 construction, respectively).
- Cut two 2-bys equal to the opening height. Secure them against the existing studs in the space for the unit, by resting on the bottom horizontal support previously installed and nail or screw in place.
- Rest the header on top of the vertical supports installed in the previous step.
- Secure the header by nailing or screwing in place.
8Add studs. Cut a 2-by to fit between the header and the top plate (the 2-by that the left- and right-most studs are secured to at the top) plus 1/8 inch at the left-most stud and nail or screw into place.
- Hammer these studs into position.
- Repeat for the right-most stud and for at least as many vertical studs installed in previous steps below the unit, in the space above the new header. If one stud was cut and installed in the middle of the wall space for the bottom support of the unit, then at least one (but more would be better) will be required above the opening as well. These studs above the header should fit tightly. If not a tight fit, cracks may develop on the wall surface as the weight settles on the new framework in the wall.
9Finish the frame. Cut two 2-bys equal to the height of the opening. Making this cut a little long (1/16 inch or so) will help ensure settling will not reduce the opening and minimize any movement. Hammer these 2-bys along the left and right side of the opening. Nail or screw in place.
10Install any electrical outlets required while the wall is open.
- If the unit is high on the wall, consider installing an appropriately rated switch at this time for the outlet, as this will make powering the unit on and off easier. It will also reduce the chance of damage during electrical storms if set to off.
11Put the wall back where you found it.
- Reinstall the insulation.
- Install the drywall.
- Tape, mud (joint compound) and sand when dry.
- Paint wall and reinstall all molding.
12Install the AC unit. Remove unit front cover and screws that hold the unit inside its case.[3] X Research source
- Pull the unit forward while an assistant holds the case, until it is fully withdrawn.
- Install the case or sleeve into the opening. Allow several inches of the case or sleeve to protrude from the wall into the room.
- Measure the amount of protrusion at one of the top corners, and start a screw through the sleeve or case close to this corner into the framework to keep it from moving.
- Move the case or sleeve in or out so that the other top corner has the same amount of protrusion. Start a screw through the sleeve or case close to this corner into the framework to keep it from moving.
- Repeat this procedure for the bottom corners, but remember to have the protrusion here 1/4 to 1/2 inch greater than measured at the top. This creates a position for the case or sleeve that is tipped downward to the outside and will minimize the chance for condensation and rainwater from collecting and leaking inside.
- Once the case or sleeve has been tacked into position, firmly secure it by driving at least two screws into each of the four sides.
13Caulk around the unit.
- Caulk around the inside and outside of the unit by running a generous bead between the unit and the surrounding surface.[4] X Research source Extra time spent here will ensure a seal that will help keep water out. Do not scrimp—use a high quality 30-year (or more) caulk rated for use outdoors. Make sure it is paintable.
14Install molding. Add trim around the unit inside by cutting appropriate length boards at a 45-degree. Secure with finish nails. Set and fill nail heads and paint.Advertisement
Community Q&A
QuestionAre there air conditioning units that are specifically made for going through a wall?Community AnswerYes: they are sold as "wall air conditioners" - alternatively, you can also look into ductless mini-split systems, which consume far less space on the wall and are more visually appealing.
QuestionWhat is wrong with the unit when it stops cooling? What type of maintenance does it need?Community AnswerThe unit may be running low on refrigeration gas. In worse cases, the compressor is shot, which would be a major replacement expense.
- See other Wikis about installing outlets and switches for the electrical portion of your installation.[5] X Research sourceThanks!
- An air conditioner sleeve is required for windows type units that do not allow for the removal of the air conditioner from its case. Without the sleeve, there is no way to secure the unit into the opening. When using a sleeve, references to cutting an opening to match the dimensions of AC, unit, etc. should be interpreted to the sleeve instead of the unit case.Thanks!
- Sleeves will need additional time and material to custom fit the unit into the sleeve. That part is up to you complete for your particular application. It should at the very least include insulation and trim boards. After stuffing insulation around the top and side(s) of the unit, secure trim boards with screws through holes drilled into the part of the sleeve that extends into the room. Be sure not to cover vents (if any) on the sides of the unit.Thanks!
- Sleeves are also nice to have so that if the unit should ever need to be replaced, finding one the exact same dimensions won't be required. Simply pull out the old and slip in the new.Thanks!

Assess the claim that Free Will and Determinism are compatible
Extracts from this document...
Critically assess the claim that Free Will and Determinism are compatible [35] There is an important relationship between freedom and moral responsibility. I should be ready to accept the blame for the things that I freely do wrong. If I'm made to commit an immoral action, then I?m not blameworthy. If I'm forced at gunpoint to drive a getaway vehicle from a bank robbery, then it isn't my fault. Even if I'm forced at gunpoint to give money to charity, I'm not praiseworthy. Moral blame/praise can only be attributed to actions that are freely taken. Freedom is defined as the power to act, speak or think as one wishes. In general terms, Determinism is the view that all events and actions in the universe are the effects of other causes. Hard determinism relies heavily on the credence that as we are not free at all to act in a different way, we cannot be held morally responsible for our actions. As Aristotle maintained, "nothing happens without a reason". Honderich develops on this but relies on principles of Physics, namely Quantum Physics, to argue that determinism is much more complex - for instance, people may migrate across the planet and undergo profound social changes, yet their values dont seem to alter. ...read more.
Hume states it is not God who determines the limits of human beings' free will, it is nature that is in ultimate control of human destiny. Events are determined because of a causal link between objects (CONSTANT UNION OF OBJECTS). If you are wanting to travel to a particular destination by plane, and your journey is delayed due to extreme weather conditions - this delay was always predetermined. The individuals' response to this situation, leads onto human free will - the individual may choose to change form of transport, perhaps commuting by train, or may choose to not travel and delay the trip altogether. The individual is free to make the choice, Hume calls this INTERFERENCE OF THE MIND. Hume's compatabilist thinking counteracts three particular ideas: The first is Libertarianism, which states that human beings are entirely free. The next is hard determinism, which asserts that everything a human being does is predetermined. The last idea that Hume rejects is the idea of chance, or what ethicists sometimes call moral luck. The latter is regarded as nonsense by Hume, simply because events are determined. They are not random; take a scenario where an individual is confronted by a robber. ...read more.
In a similar example , The Queen of England holds a right to 'kill' anybody she so wishes and not be put under trial - arguably, she too has been conditioned to believe she is superior and more important than others, yet she chooses not to exercise this superiority out of free will, because it is against the norms and values of society - and also because murder is wrong. Leob and Leopold are no different. Libertarianism also comes under scrutiny as it becomes more complicated in its comprehension of what true freedom is. In real life, we will always be governed by the laws of the land, as well as in everyday scenarios. In that case, does this mean our very reality restricts us from true freedom? Even in institutions such as the Media, we are made to think in a certain way. Arguably then, it is impossible to be truly free. Another criticism that a geneticist may put forward, contrary to the Libertarian Sartre, is that infact our essence precedes our existence - as our essence is prevalent in our genetic makeup - some may be genetically gifted athletes, whilst others were born with genetic deformities. I would argue Soft Determinism, in this day and age is the most sensible and accurate form of moral decision making. It presents the balance of being both free and predestined and is coherent in its reasoning. ...read more.

Ritchey Road Logic Frameset
Tom Ritchey built his first frameset in his dad's garage in the early seventies. He subsequently rode this frame to many local victories around the northern California circuit. Winning became somewhat synonymous with his frames. A young Bobby Julich and Freddie Rodriquez rode these frames to much acclaim in their junior road years. These road frames were considered the American Cinelli. At the same time, Henrik Djernis and Frischsy won 4 World Championships on Tom's P-series mountain frames. The point is, the man knows how to build a frame.
Fast forward a few years and Tom is not producing the frames in his shop, but overseeing the design and production process. The Road Logic 2.0 receives modern appointments like an integrated headset and a heat treated, short butted tubeset that is specifically designed for TIG welding.
Features that Ritchey frame owners have become accustomed to are still there like the Fastback design. This design feature uses the seatstays and seatube junction to create a seatpost clamp. It is a great way to lighten up the frame while providing extra clearance for wider tires (The Road Logic fits up to 28mm tires). The Ritchey Drop-In rear derailleur hanger is both beautiful and minimal. It helps tuck the rear derailleur in nice and tight, out of harm's way. Simple and eloquent cable routing with brilliant welds and a stellar paint job complete the frame. A painted-to-match WCS full carbon fork with matching rake rounds out the package.
You would be hard pressed to find a better value for a high-end steel road frame on the market today. If you are considering ordering a custom steel frame from a domestic builder, you may consider purchasing a Road Logic designed by the master and commander himself and save a few G's to boot.
Build details - Requires 27.2 seat post, BSC (English) threaded bottom bracket and 28.6mm clamp-on front derailleur.
- Includes Ritchey 1 1/8" integrated drop-in headset
- Ritchey WCS Logic tubing optimized for TIG welds
- Fastback clamp design
- Drop-In derailleur hanger
- Gorgeous paint and finish details
- Full carbon WCS fork with matching paint

is there any feedback available from your side, concerning the discrepancies I mentioned several times and documented with several screen shots as you requested.
I like to know what went wrong here, or maybe my ticwatch pro does not work properly and I have to request a warranty.
There are enough example in my post.
Can you pls advise.

Did you give or get diamonds for Valentine's Day? If so, you may have given or received a good investment as well.
One of the big global themes that we've talked about in Investor Briefis the ever-growing demand for natural resources and how cash is flooding into resource-rich countries such as South Africa and Brazil. Everyone talks about commodities like oil, copper, iron ore and gold, but a different kind of natural resources – diamonds – have traditionally been a good investment as well.
I was reminded of this recently when I saw the famous 31-carat Wittelsbach Diamond at Graff's in New York before it went to Washington, D.C., where it is now on display next to the Hope Diamond at the Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History. Laurence Graff, the billionaire diamond dealer, now owns the famous stone after he shelled out $24.3 million for it at a Christie's London sale in 2008.
When I viewed the diamond at Graff's, I interviewed Henri Barguirdjian, the company's president in the U.S., who told me how much diamonds increase in value over the years. Even in 2008 and early 2009, when we were all focused on the historic recession, the value of diamonds was going up. He told me of one person who bought a pink diamond for $3 million a few years ago and recently sold it for more then $10.5 million. What investor wouldn't be happy with that kind of return?
There was some thought that the Wittelsbach-Graff (as it's been renamed) and Hope Diamonds may have been cut from the same stone, as both are believed to have originated in India. Scientists at the Smithsonian conducted tests and found that they are not cousins but came from different stones.
Nonetheless, it is still one of the world's most famous – and valuable – diamonds with a rich (no pun intended) history. It was given by the King of Spain to his daughter for her dowry in 1664. The Wittelsbachs, members of the ruling house in Bavaria, owned it in the 1700s. The last time it was displayed was 1958 at the World Exhibition in Brussels.
I don't expect too many investing pros to recommend diamonds anytime soon, but I thought you'd like to know that something you own for enjoyment may also be a pretty good investment.

SantaBuds posted a topic in Grow Journals IndoorHey brothers, thought i should make a journal and keep records of my 1st mapito experience.... for those who doesn't know mapito is rockwool cut up to small pieces.. i also added some foam to it cause it helps to aerate the wet pito... i will be using a flood table and 4x 28L crates filled with pito.. in this run i will be testing 2x clones per crate and from there i will see how it fills up... i started with clones on rockwool from blue dream plant: they took about 10 days to root and then i moved them into 1L pots.. after 8 days under 250w MH lamp they grown a bit: and 2 days after that pic, totalling 10 days in the 1L cups i moved them to the crates: they had 2 more veg days and than i moved them in 12/12 schedule using hps lamp dimmed to 400w... these pics are 2 day after 12/12 switch: i guess that's it for now.. peace!
lansingking posted a topic in Grow Journals Outdoorposting pics and some details bout this years outdoor and greenhouse grows. Plants, for the most part, were started under lights in the second week of april, and got planted in their permanent home on june 1st, with the exception of some clones and some late started seeds to replace unwanted males. greenhouse plants were started in 5 gallon buckets in fox farm ocean forest soil mix. Bottoms of buckets were cut off and placed over the natural soil to allow roots to expand into the dirt. during transplant a hand full of bat guano 9-3-1 was placed at the rootball of all plants, greenhouse and outdoor. Outdoor plants were placed in 15 gallon boxes 2 plants per box, filled with fox farm happy frog as opposed to ocean forest with the exception of one box using just a plain pro mix without mycorizae or added ferts. 6 boxes to start and these also had no bottoms so as to allow the roots to expand into the natural soil. 5 other outdoor plants were grown individually in 15 gallon holes dug into the natural soil and each hole was filled with one 2 cubic foot bag of happy frog starter soil. Watering is done with the rain and stanky well water high in sulfur content, whos ph is unknown. Raw amounts of dirt and fertilizer used for this entire grow without regard to individual plant dosages were. 60 gallons ocean forest, 165 gallons happy frog, and 15 gallons plain pro mix. Fertz used were 2 pounds down to earth 9-3-1 bat guano, 4lb bag of fax farm 8-2-6 premium lawn, 4 lb bag of fox farm 5-5-5 all purpose, 4lb bag of fox farm 5-8-4 fruit and flower, 4lb bag of fox farm 3-8-8 bulb food, 4lb bag of fox farm 4-4-5 rose food, few cups of down to earth azomite, about 4 lbs of down to earth bone meal 3-15-0, 5lb bag of down to earth crab meal 4-3-0, a 5lb bag of down to earth kelp meal 1-0.1-2 and some small dosages of fox farm grow big 8-4-4 liquid fertz and a few small doses of 2-11-11 awesome blossoms liquid fertz and 1 feeding of about 150ml of black strap unsulphured molasses 15ml per gallon (didn't like how plants reacted) early in flower. Feedings were done about every two weeks by top dressing into my buckets/boxes/holes, and occasionally additional fertz were thrown around the outside of the boxes/buckets onto the soil below them. on avg. each plant was given about half cup to a cup when fed, depending on size and by my personal judgement of what the plant needed. the general order in which i fertilized was a transplant feeding of bat guano 9-3-1 1/4cup, bout two weeks after were given fox farm premium lawn 8-2-6 1/4 cup. Another two weeks and used the rest of the premium lawn and leftover bat guano. another two weeks go by and i decided to fertilize with about a half to 3/4 cup crab meal 4-3-0. Feeding needs started increasing and during late july-august while still in veg they were given feedings of additional leftover crab meal approx. 1/4 cup. Also, fox farm 5-5-5 bout 1 cup early august and fox farm 5-8-4 1 cup. right before transition in middle august. Each plant was additionally given a few tablespoons of azomite for trace elements around this time. Also, greenhouse plants were given a ground cover of 1 whole bag of fox farm rose food 4-4-5 in a planting area approximately 70 sqft. to enrich soil under my buckets. to start flowering phase I mixed parts of fruit and flower 5-8-4, bone meal 3-15-0, azomite, fire place ashes (k2O), crab meal 4-3-0, and bulb food 3-8-8 together in a custom mix. Each plant was given 2 feedings of this mix approx 3/4 cup each feeding. First week of september and I used leftover bone meal as ground cover around greenhouse buckets and outdoor boxes, approx. 2-3 handfulls ber bucket/box. A little left over bulb food 3-8-8 was also added to each plant no more than a few tablespoons each. 2nd week september early yellowing was noticed on a few plants (pro mix plant was the worst one) and so a few plants were dosed with fox farm grow big liquid fert 8-4-4 10-15 ml/gal and given 2 gallons each. Today, september 21, purchased kelp meal 1-0.1-2 and was perfect because early yellowing extended to a few more plants and slight potassium deficiency was noticed on my greencrack and east coast cookies. Another reason for the kelp was i read potassium should be higher than phosphorous in late flower and because overall potassium was low throughout the grow, especially when compared to amounts of phosporous. I also read it contains good growth enzymes which im hoping will help fatten up my buds here in the last few weeks. Greenhouse plants were given 1 cup kelp, outdoor bucket plants were given 3/4 cup per plant and individual plants got 1/2 cup. Plants will recieve no more fertilizer for the rest of there life cycle. 3-4 weeks depending strain and weather.

Now, I was planning on writing yet another boring WIPs post today. Boring, because – as it seems usual – I haven't managed to get so much done on the knitting front lately. Then I received a link from my Mom telling me about a Star Wars model exhibition at her library… weird, hey? I mean, my Mom and Star Wars in the library? Then it dawned on me, oh, it's May 4th, that day when you are supposed to pull out you inner geek.
This train of thought sort of predictably prompted me to do a quick search on Star Wars related knitting. And wow, I cannot stop myself from reflecting on how amazingly committed and creative people are when it comes to joining knitting and galactic geekiness. And here I am complaining about knitting some horses on a hat…
These two mittens just made my day, I wish I had the time and the patience, as I know exactly who they would make laugh real hard! The ones on the left are the Chewie Mittens, and on the right Scoundel Mittens, both by Therese Sharp whose Ravelry page you might want to check out for more funky mittens.
"The double knitting technique is great. It has a light side, and a dark side, it binds the scarf together…" says notanicedragon. Well I don't know about how great it is to actually execute double knitting (might try it some day), but I'm sure that if somebody gifted me with a Star Wars Double Knit Scarf, I would have the same incredulous face as the lucky recipient on this Ravelry knitter's photo. This is a free pattern by the way, and I'd say it's also worth looking at additions and variations made by other knitters.
p.s. Anette was really kind to share her blog/website in a comment. I'm going to post it here, so it is more visible. May the Forth Be With You Party compiles all sorts of fun craft ideas to though you perfect Star Wars-themed party!

– October 31, 2011 –
Welcome to our Haunted Corpse Bride Halloween Party. There is no better excuse to have a party than Halloween when your space just happens to be decked out. We were set for a photo-shoot for Today's Bride Magazine and decided that our Vintage Set should be turned into a Haunted Mansion. Cobweb infested chandeliers draped over the tables and a dimly lit warehouse creaked as the guests poured in all dressed for the part.The guests were invited to come as corpse Brides, grooms, planners, flower girls, ring bearers, officiate, etc. We even had a keg show up.
What a party! A charming young corpse holding a rose greeted the guests. As he pulled it out to hand it to each lady, he slowly tore off the petals and dropped them to the floor leaving a perfect stem.
Ghostly brides pranced and danced the night away as cries of children echoed in the background. We all had chills as our Officiate married the corpse couples in front of an alter. I hope you enjoy the photos. We had an eerie time.
We were so creeped out by the eerie sound design from Vincent Fiction. We want to thank Thomas John for the delectables. Ajay came in and captured the event perfectly. We are so thankful to each of our partners.

The ranch features nearly 20 miles of single-track riding through beautiful Rocky Mountain forest. Like last year the riders will also join Malcolm and JN on the Saturday ride in the nearby Helena National Forest. After three exhilarating days of riding with the two legends, the caravan will return to Southern California on Monday, August 29.
About the Fundraiser
Each rider will pay his or her own way, and will be asked to make a $1,000 donation directly to the Malcolm Smith Motorsports Foundation.

The first student from the orphanage to graduate from college under Malcolm' education program is Daniella Hernandez, 22. She graduated this spring from Navojoa University earning her teaching credentials, with a minor in psychology. Navajoa University is located in Navajoa, Sonora, Mexico.
About The Ride
JN Roberts and Malcolm Smith are two of the greatest ambassadors in the history off-road racing, beign the first motorcycle to cross the line in the Baja 1000 in 1967, countless desert races, numerous ISDE medals, international rallies and many more achievements too numerous to list. In addition to the single-track trails through woods and river crossings, JN also has a 2.5 mile motocross track. Although this is a working ranch, it is motorcycle friendly… Instead of opening gates, JN has fitted his ranch with ramps to jump over the cow fences. Joining in the festivities will be JN's son, Jimmy Roberts and the El Oasis Orphanage Marketing Director, Daniel Ixcot.

With dwindling supplies of fossil fuels and the need for cleaner, low-carbon power, sustainable sources of energy are essential. That's where renewable energy – such as wind, wave and solar energy – comes in. There's a huge call for skilled professionals to develop new and emerging techniques to harness the world's sustainable resources.
This is a relatively new and growing area – more than 70,000 jobs could be created over the next decade
There are roles for apprentices and graduates, as well as experienced professionals
The industry
The UK government wants 15% of the country's energy to come from renewable sources by 2020. The renewable energy industry is meeting this challenge through a broad range of sustainable sources – and there's further research and development happening all the time. The industry therefore offers tremendous innovation and variety, with new opportunities appearing steadily. For example, the number of people employed in offshore wind has doubled since 2010. A Renewable energy engineer can expect a starting salary of £20,000. Experienced professionals can earn £80,000 per year. The industry includes:
More information on employers in the renewable energy industry.
If you're excited about the potential of the renewable energy sector sign up for updates or search for relevant jobs.
This is a highly innovative industry with many emerging technologies
There's the chance to travel and use your expertise overseas
The low carbon agenda is of vital importance, nationally and globally

Mouth curry-pricked, then tea that's scalding hot,
perhaps Assam with milk. I just can bear
most pleasures that I love. The edge is where
I live – it bites. Mostly I'd rather not
make neat distinctions. The thin slice of pain
a razor edge that teases me to lust.
Strong feelings best for we're a long time dust.
Hurting is how I know I feel again
when mind and heart are dry and there's a taste
metallic in my mouth, grinds grey ennui
tin foil against my teeth. She looks at me
smiles quizzical. My heart so tightly laced
from its safe jacket breaks. A little. Yearns
the unattainable. But joyful, burns.

Jacques Greene
Feel Infinite
LuckyMe proudly present Feel Infinite, the debut album from Jacques Greene. Jacques Greene is the enigmatic, young artist who broke out of independent electronic labels Uno, 3024, Night Slugs and LuckyMe as a genre-defining producer and DJ (via 2011's Another Girl - one of Pitchfork's Songs Of The Decade, 2013's underground favourite On Your Side featuring How To Dress Well and 2016's undeniable summer anthem You Can't Deny). Jacques Greene crafted a musical blueprint that inspired a generation who were raised on and looked to bring together the intersection of contemporary music growing up in the 90s: hip hop, RnB, house and techno. At its heart, Feel Infinite is a world of music connected to the utopian idea of club culture - music about the club, rather than specifically club music in and of itself. Written over the course of two years, this debut album is the purest, most personal expression of the Jacques Greene sound and emotion created by the born and raised Montreal artist, renowned for collaborating and remixing Tinashe, Radiohead, Sampha and Shlohmo. In 2016, Jacques Greene released the surprise single You Can't Deny to acclaim and adulation, a beautifully undeniable, soulful techno record, followed up with Afterglow, a euphoric club record - both of which are included on the album alongside a further nine stunning tracks. Includes a fold out poster with new and exclusive artwork by Hassan Rahim.
1. Fall
2. Feel Infinite
3. To Say
4. True (feat. How To Dress Well)

- Rosamund Pike and David Oyelowo in A United Kingdom.
Well, both. But director Amma Asante and screenwriter Guy Hibbert's historical/political love story also contains two praise-worthy performances, in the story of an interracial romance that had major repercussions during the era of European de-colonization in the second half of the 20th Century.
When mild-mannered middle-class office worker Ruth Williams (Rosamund Pike) meets calm and handsome university student Seretse Khama (David Oyelowo) at a missionary society mixer in London in 1947 and they fall in love, they immediately discover four large, seemingly intractable obstacles to their relationship: No 1., He is in fact the Black king of the British protectorate of Bechuanaland; No. 2, She's an ordinary white Englishwoman; No. 3, Her people, in the form of her family as well as the British foreign ministry, strongly disapprove; and No. 4, So do his people, especially his uncle, Bechuanaland's official regent. Reason: That sort of thing just isn't done. Blacks can't be mixing with whites, especially in African lands where militants are already clamoring for independence. If Bechuanaland – now known as Botswana – starts breaking the rules, it might upset the British applecart in neighboring South Africa, where the local whites are busy installing their system of Apartheid.
The old-boy colonial snobbery of Sir Alistair Canning (Jack Davenport) and his Foreign Office minions makes it easy to admire the innocent lovers by comparison. Furthermore, we learn that there are diamonds and oil underneath Bechuanaland, so there's that. Despite it all, Ruth and Seretse make a cute couple. She helps out carrying firewood and charming her new relatives, he promotes a democratic referendum on independence, based on tribal tradition. They take their case to the British tabloids. Prime Minister Winston Churchill comes across, offscreen, as an immoral opportunist.
In short, there's a lot more real-world power and influence at stake in A United Kingdom than in Loving — even though we have the luxury of knowing all along, in both cases, that everything turns out all right. It's not just personal between Ruth and Seretse, although we wouldn't mind at all if they walked off into the sunset, swatting flies and singing folk songs.

Hashtags 101: The Instagram Guide For Beginners
Back in 2010, Instagram was similar to any other social media platform. People would only share pictures of friends, family and pets. The trend has changed over the years, and so has the number of users. Over 51% of users log in daily. We not only use Instagram as a platform to socialise with our friends but to also promote our businesses in the way of hashtags. Instagram is the right place to increase your customer base and brand awareness.

Instagram Marketing
Instagram marketing is an effective approach to increase brand engagement among your target audience. It is among the best social media marketing strategies used by businesses. You get to post pictures of products and services with the aim of creating awareness. It is important for your target audience to understand what your business entails. We should understand how your product will meet our needs for us to buy it. Instagram marketing provides you with a platform to educate your target audience and boost your sales.
Use of Hashtags
The primary aim of introducing hashtags in communication is to provide users with a ground to discuss a trending topic. Over the years, we can use hashtags as a marketing strategy on Instagram and other social platforms. If you are finding it difficult to understand what it is, here is a brief example. You come up with a group of words such as '#lighthair' if you are promoting a brand of hair extension and you want to engage your users.
If you are striving to use hashtags to promote your product, creativity is essential. Similar to how website owners invest in domain names and keywords, you need to authentic. You need to select words that will communicate your intended message within a short time with the right impact.
Analysing the market trends is also essential when selecting the right hashtag. You not only need to understand your brand but also your target audience. What captivates them? How do you educate them about your brand without being such a bore? And finally, how do you convince them to buy your products?
Types of Hash Tags
The primary classification of hashtags on Instagram is in two broad categories:
- Branded Hashtags– these make it easier for your target group to find your post and will apply to people that know your company and the product sold. They will use the hashtag to find out more about your brand. For instance, if you are selling luxurious cars, hashtags such as luxury, the name of your company, lifestyle, Benz, jeep or cars would get the attention of your audience. A lot of ecommerce websites use the hashtags particularly well.
- Community Hashtags– these are created for Instagram users that share similar interests. They are used to follow a certain story or unifying theme. For example, #writing, #poetry, #art or # music. Compared to the branded Hashtags, there is no specification. It does not go much into details. It uses a general approach.
Tip: Instagram gives up to a 30 hashtag limit per post. Irrespective of which group of hashtags you use, the limit does not change.
It is evident from the above description that if you are looking to promote your business, the branded alternative is better than the community one. Branded hashtags allow you to give more details about your company and products. It is an ideal approach to create brand awareness, boost sales and grow your business.
Key Marketing Approaches
Brand and campaign Hashtags
A brand hashtag will focus on educating people about what your business entails. It could be the name of your company or the product sold. On the other hand, campaign hashtags are used during promotions. For example, you can be having a giveaway and select a few hashtags to be used during the campaign to create awareness of the offer. These approaches need to be spot on. You need to be specific and straightforward to get the attention of your target group. Campaign hashtags help customers to engage with you and each other. You can get feedback that will assist to improve your product from the forum.
Trending Hashtags
They change within a short time. You need to be keen on what is trending in relation to your business. If you identify one, engage by making a content update using the hashtag. It helps you get information about your brand to more audiences. A trending hashtag means that more than 80% of Instagram users are engaging. It is the perfect platform for brand awareness within a short time.
Content Hashtags
These are neither trending nor branded Hashtags. They do not describe your brand. Instead, they are used to describe the content relating to your post. This is exactly like using titles in SEO to describe a page. It is an easy way to optimise your marketing approach using common Hashtags. They could be about a product, event or lifestyle hashtags depending on the content of your post. For example, if you post a getaway promotion by the beach, lifestyle-related hashtags would be an excellent choice.
Identifying Relevant Hashtags
As we have discussed before, you need not only to solely pick any hashtag if you intend to promote your business. It is a strategic marketing process for monitoring and engaging. You need to be thorough to pick out the relevant Hashtags for your business. How do you go about it?
Identify the Hashtags
If you are a beginner in an already existing niche, you will come across well-established people. Social influencers are a big deal, and they help companies acquire a competitive advantage over others. You might not be familiar with the type of hashtags to use for your niche. Reviewing accounts of market influencers and identifying what hashtags they use, this gives you a foundation of what you will be doing. You can consider more than one market influencers for easy navigation.
Reviewing and gauging your Hashtags
Different software and apps can be used to get a gauge on the density of your hashtag. You will know if it is weak or strong by comparing it to others in your niche. Once you get the results, make changes that will boost the density of your hashtag to reach out to more people.
Tips for Using Instagram Hashtags
- Research and analyse your results
Similar to any other marketing approach, you need to research the use of hashtags on a social media platform and how it will promote your brand. This article will provide you with the insights. You can analyse and select what will work best for your product.
- Create branded Hashtags
We have already discussed what a branded hashtag and its relevance. As the name implies, you will be referring to your brand. Come up with unique keywords that will help your target audience associate it with your brand. Create an impact. Ensure that every time the user sees the hashtag; your brand is the first thing that comes to mind.
- Make it easy for your post to reach your target market
The number of Instagram users is high. If you do not take adequate time to come up with organic and authentic hashtags that will help you reach your customers, your brand will be stagnant. You will be able to find original hashtags by observing how others use their hashtags, ensuring that they are relevant and precise. Keep in mind that overusing the hashtags can lead to an overshadow ban. Therefore, you need to make it count by ensuring whatever you post is relevant.
- Make use of other Market Influencers
Instagram has provided market influencers with an opportunity to grow their brands by promoting other businesses. If you are a beginner and you do not understand which hashtags are relevant to reach out to your key audience, market influencers are the right place to begin. Go through their posts to gauge a betting understanding on how they do this. You can also use their primary hashtag to get their following to consider your content too. It is similar to joining and contributing to a popular trend.
- Contribute to conversations on Social media
From a business perspective, you need to identify a discussion that is related to your industry otherwise it will be pointless. For instance, if they are discussing an increment of tax rates in your industry, using the common hashtag followed by your brand tag would bring attention to your business. It is part of the process of letting your target audience that 'we exist'. If both your business profile and branded hashtag are captivating, some users will want to learn more about your brand.
- Promote giveaways and contests to engage users
The primary role of Hashtags as a marketing approach to grow your business is engaging your target audience. How better to do it that promote giveaways and contests? People love to compete and win. They want free goodies and discount codes. Allowing them to participate in using some of the business hashtags will create a ton of user-created content which will boost brand awareness.
- Transform your branded hashtag to a community one
I know you have a few questions about this point but let me simplify it. We do not mean that you switch from using branded hashtags to community ones. It will not work well in a business setting as discussed earlier. However, once you have managed to get your users to use the branded hashtags and they are familiar with it, you can build a community around it. The word community is used in the context of your target users can connect with each other using your hashtag. Creating a movement that is purpose-driven and relates to your product. This approach will increase your customer base and sales eventually.
Benefits of Using Instagram Hashtags
Create and retain a customer base
Selecting relevant Hashtags for your business helps to engage your target audience. They learn about your product and buy it. You will gain their loyalty by updating more content and engaging with them through giveaways and discounts to reach out to new users. As a result, this will boost your customer base.
Tracking your hashtag campaigns
Hashtags provide a space for users to engage. They discuss and share information about your brand. The feedback can be used to gauge the success of your hashtags, and you can make improvements on any shortcoming areas. Switching from the private to business profile on Instagram will make it easy to gauge feedback from customers.
It is a form of networking with customers and business partners. Contributing to trending conversations and Hashtags in your industry creates links with other companies thus providing exposure. It is essential for brand awareness and business growth.
Follow-ups of Hashtags
You can do a follow-up on your hashtags to know what is trending in relation to your business. It will help you to make modifications to the content you post online. You are able to consider alternative content creation strategies that will help grow your brand.
Instagram allows you to optimise your page with a limit of 500 words. There has been a recent additional feature where you can add clickable links on your bio. These links can be used to redirect clients to your website especially if you are launching a new product or having a promotional campaign. It is critical to ensure that your optimisation is at its best. Only include relevant information that is likely to capture the attention of your target audience.
Brand awareness
It is the primary function of using Instagram Hashtags for marketing. This strategy helps you to educate users about your brand. Additionally, content updates from the exposure and lessons learnt from other market influencers are helpful. A boost in brand awareness leads to business growth.
Common Mistakes Made
It is important not to make the following mistakes if you want your Instagram hashtag campaigns to be successful:
Excessive use of popular Hashtags
We discussed the importance of using popular Hashtags. They help provide exposure by providing a more extensive user base. You get to share your content on a broader platform than before. However, you need to use your personalised Hashtags aside from the trending and popular ones. People need to identify with your brand. Therefore, if you only use popular Hashtags, people might never know what your brand entails. Use them in moderation.
Failing to pay attention to local Hashtags
If you have a brick and mortar location for your business, targeting users from that area is crucial. Despite the need for exposure on larger platforms, the local hashtags will help you build relationships with the community. You can participate in local conversations or volunteer to establish trustworthy relationships.
Failing to research on Hashtags
Before using any hashtag, you need to know what it entails ranging from the images to the caption content. Various apps can be used to gauge or analyse the tags. Make use of them. Alternatively, you can search the hashtag on other social media platforms to ensure that it is relevant and has the right content for your users.
Irrelevant Hashtags
Failure to use relevant hashtags will only lead to inconsistency. Users keep their eyes peeled for consistent content. Relate your hashtag with your brand to make an impact on the user. They need to see the hashtag and automatically link it up with your business.
Keep it simple
Despite the generous allowance that Instagram has given to allow you to use several hashtags on one post, keep it simple. Simplicity demands the attention of the users. It is an appealing feature. By ensuring your content is unique and moderate hashtags are used, reaching out to users will be easy. Complicated Hashtags will push away your potential customers.
Failing to keep track
Hashtags marketing approach requires tracking similar to any other alternative. You will end up posting out-of-date content for your clients when you fail to keep up with the trends and performance of your strategy. Tracking should be a continuous process that is frequently done.
Marketing on Instagram using hashtags is beneficial to businesses that do it right. Ensure that you seek more knowledge in the field every time you want to update content. Always remember the primary goal is to engage your potential customers as it is the first step towards business growth.

Get the Best Car Battery Replacement in West Palm Beach at Low Prices
Benefits of using a Family-Run Local Auto Parts Shop
Everyone at some point will need a car battery replacement in West Palm Beach . There are chains popping up all over the country and while there is a convenience-factor in going to them—rest assured—you'll be paying for convenience. The disadvantage besides that one major fact is that you'll be treated like cattle. Everyone goes to Walmart but no one wants their experiences to be like Walmart everywhere they go. But, it happens. Think about it a minute. What's it like to go out and eat at a Burger King? What's the tag line? "Have it your way". How much do you really get it your way and in fact how many times have you gotten it exactly the "wrong way"? Our point is, good business comes from relationships. We're learning that in the digital age right now. You can't blog and get seen without really helping people. Fluff doesn't work. So, why would you look at getting parts from the 'Burger King' of auto parts and repair? It makes a lot of sense doesn't it? And if a chain doesn't have the part to your foreign car; how far will they go to get it?
Benefit One: They know you by face and name and you know them. They know your car intimately as does your mechanic—check—your mechanic may even be hooked up with that shop—score! They know the history of the batteries for cars and the parts you've needed and they may even be the reason why you are standing in their shop today. Which brings us to our second point.
Benefit Two: They may have given you a call to tell you that your time is close for maintenance. When your mechanic tells you that you need to make a parts investment—off you go to the neighborhood shop. Think of how that feels to you. Is your chest already tight because you'll be standing on line at the auto parts OK? Or are you feeling relieved that you'll be with friends that will tell you straight up what it's gonna be? What would you choose?
Benefit Three: You'll get the best cheap car batteries and warranties in town and will not have to wait too long to replace car battery. It's just statistically correct. You will always pay for what you get free or at a great price at a chain. They make their money going through the back door or with an up sell that saves money now but makes money in the long haul with a contract for some kind of long-term maintenance. That means they have your money and there goes the personalized touch. With a smaller shop you'll never be a number, your value will always be respected. Not to say there aren't up sells there too but they are far less drastic than an AutoZone or another auto parts giant. You would be surprised to know that those who have been in business several decades have more contacts to get you the difficult parts and services you need; the smart ones have forged relationships over time.
We have been in the Auto Electric Supplier business for over 50 years, we service Boynton Beach, Wellington and West Palm Beach. We look forward to helping you find the best car battery replacement in West Palm Beach at the best price.

16 Jul Eid Lunch – for the Love of Family and Food
This article was commissioned by and published on the Great British Chefs website.
Eid will always remind me of my childhood and growing up in Pakistan. I have a clear sensory memory of awakening to aromas of cloves and cardamom wafting from the kitchen into my bedroom. This is a day that revolves around family togetherness and a celebration of food, after a month of abstinence and contemplation.
Though a global Muslim festival, Eid is celebrated differently in each country, highlighting the fact that this is not just a religious day but a time to rejoice our culture and identity. But, the one unifying similarity is that Eid is a celebration of food, authentic flavour and family togetherness.
As a child I would eagerly await Eid – we would receive money called 'Eiddee' in tiny colourful envelopes from older family and friends and I would always look forward to collecting my 'kings ransom' from my father, who would promise me this only if I woke up early, changed into my pretty new clothes and glass bangles!
Food took centre stage – from breakfast of seviyan, hot cardamom chai and jalebis (fried sweet sugar syrup doughnuts) and dahi baras (lentil fritters with yoghurt) made by my mother, followed by 'elvensies' of sheer khurma (hot sweet vermicelli saffron milk drink) at my Nani's (maternal grandmother's). Before lunch we would distribute food from our homes to the needy; this is a big part of the Eid culture in Pakistan, feeding those who may not be able to afford it themselves. Our lunch would always be at my Dadi's (paternal grandmother's), which always promised to be a lavish spread of biryani, shami kebabs, koftas, always ending with mithai (sweet meats) and her version of seviyan. A day of family visits, sitting together, being force fed an obscene amount of food, laughing and cherishing what is on our tables is how I would describe Eid in Pakistan.
To me, Eid is a moment of thankfulness – for the food we receive, for those who need it more than us and the loved ones in our lives. These recipes to me are the flavour of Eid lunch in Pakistan and ones I have adapted but still cook in the UK today.
Bavette Shami Kebabs with black cardamom, black cumin and cinnamon
Shami kebabs (pictured at the top of this blog post) are usually melt in the mouth pureed spiced meat and channa daal based kebabs, found in nearly all homes in Pakistan, with a history as far back as the Mughal Empire. Often a labourious task, I have adapted a traditional recipe and used bavette steak which is cheap and just beautiful, and instead of pureed mince beef – as traditional – I have left the meat to cook slowly until it pulls apart together with spices and channa daal. When bone dry, add cool fresh herbs and ginger and mould together into burger patties shapes, dip lightly in egg and shallow fry. Perfect Eid guest treats with some spiced tamarind chutney.
Makes 6-8 kebabs
Cooking time: 2-3 hours
400 g bavette steak
50 g channa daal (soaked for about 30 minutes to overnight before cooking)
1 cinnamon stick
2 black cardamom
1 tsp black cumin (or regular cumin if not available)
1 tsp coriander seeds
2 star anise
2-3 dried red chillis
1 tsp black peppercorn
8-10 cloves
½ inch piece ginger, chopped into tiny pieces
½ bunch coriander, chopped finely
20 mint leaves, chopped finely
2 green chillis, chopped finely
1 egg, beaten
Vegetable oil to shallow fry
- Add the first 10 ingredients in a heavy based saucepan and add 1 ½ pints water. Bring to the boil and then return to a simmer, cover and leave to cook for about 3 hours on a low heat. Keep checking to make sure the meat doesn't stick at the bottom, and ensure that you stir it occasionally. Do not add any more water
- After about 2 hours or so check to see if all the moisture is gone, the meat is tender and falling apart, and the lentil is mush
- Break and pull apart the meat, add the finely chopped ginger, chopped mint, coriander and green chillis. Mix until combined with the meat
- Take about 2 tbsp of the meat mixture and using your hand, form flat burger patties shapes to make the shami kebabs. Dip each into egg and set aside on a plate
- Heat vegetable oil in a shallow frying pan; once hot add about 3-4 shami kebabs into the pan, fry for about 1 minute each side until medium brown on either side
- Serve hot with any a hot sauce or ketchup
Pakistani festive beef biryani
This recipe is a labour of love, as is the Eid lunch- Cooking for those you love deserve such dedication.
Cooking time: 1 hour
Serves: 8-10 people
350 g basmati rice, washed, soaked for 30 minutes, parboiled and drained
5 tbsp vegetable oil
½ tbsp ghee
1 stick cinnamon
2 star anise
1 tsp black cumin
10 cloves
1 tsp coriander seeds
2 black cardamom
5 green cardamom
8 cloves
1 bay leaf
1 small piece mace
2 red onions, chopped finely
1 tsp each of grated ginger and crushed garlic
4 tomatoes, chopped roughly
1 tsp turmeric
½ tsp red chilli powder
400 g braising steak or beef chuck pieces
200 g Greek yoghurt
½ tsp saffron, steeped in 2 tbsp hot boiling water for 15 minutes
10 mint leaves
½ lemon, sliced
2 tsp rose water or kewra essence
½ tbsp melted ghee
2 green chillis
1 tbsp pistachios
10 edible dried rose buds or 1 tbsp edible dried rose petals
- Begin by par boiling the soaked rice, drain and set aside. It should be firm but not entirely raw
- Heat a heavy based saucepan medium low, add the oil and ghee. When hot add all the whole spices and cook for 30 seconds, or until you can smell the oil aromatised by the spices
- Turn heat up to medium, add the red onions and fry until light golden, then add the ginger and garlic. Cook for 30 seconds, until the garlic no longer smells raw. Add tomatoes, and cook until the moisture of the tomatoes is gone (add about 1-2 tbsp for water if the tomatoes burn). The result should be a thick, rich sauce with no hard tomato bits and oil rising to the surface of the sauce. Add the turmeric and red chilli powder
- Next add the beef and stir fry until sealed (about 2-3 minutes). Add the Greek yoghurt and continue to stir fry until the moisture of the yoghurt evaporates and you are left with a sauce. Cover the pan and turn the heat to low
- Allow to cook until the sauce is thick reddish brown, with oil rising to the top. This will take a patient 15-20 minutes of cooking; you may need to add a little water if the meat isn't cooked through. In this case cook covered for a few more minutes until the sauce is thick again
- Once the meat is cooked through, it's time to layer the rice on top and infuse the aromatics of saffron, lemon, mint, green chilli and rose water or kewra. Layer the rice evenly on top of the meat
- Poke the aromatics into the rice, pour over the saffron and rose water or kewra, and then using a piece of foil cover the entire surface of the saucepan and place the lid firmly over to create a seal, so that the steam does not escape the pan. Turn the heat to its lowest setting and steam cook for 10 minutes. Once done, remove the foil and let the steam escape
- Mix the rice and meat with sauce gently using a dessert spoon so as to not break the rice
- Serve hot in a serving dish and scatter in pistachios and rose petals or buds
My Nani's Muzaffar Seviyan served with clotted cream – sweet vermicelli with saffron and cardamom
There are many ways to make the quintessential Eid dessert called Seviyan. This is a sweet roasted vermicelli which can be made in either milk or water and sugar. The flavour is one that always reminds me of Eid and the excitement it brings. This is my maternal grandmother's recipe, traditionally served with khoya (milk solids), but I also think clotted cream works equally well, giving it a British touch!
Serves: 6-8 people
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10-15 minutes
2 tbsp ghee (clarified butter)
½ cup chopped pistachios
4-5 green cardamom seeds (discard husks)
1 ½ cups fine wheat vermicelli, crushed into small pieces
½ pint boiling hot water
½ tsp saffron, steeped in 1 tbsp boiling water for about 5 minutes
60 g caster sugar
Silver leaf to decorate (optional)
2 tbsp desiccated coconut to garnish
1 tbsp each of sultanas, slivered almonds and pistachios to garnish
100 g clotted cream
- Heat the ghee in a wok style pan over medium heat and melt until hot. Add the chopped pistachios and cardamom seeds and stir-fry for 30 seconds. The cardamom should be fragrant and the pistachios very lightly brown. Turn the heat to medium low
- Add the crushed vermicelli and stir-fry until evenly light brown; this takes about 3-4 minutes of constant stir frying. The vermicelli will now smell toasted and the colour should be a medium brown
- Add the boiling water to the vermicelli together with the steeped saffron, mix until combined and cook until the vermicelli is tender and all the water is absorbed (about 3-4 minutes)
- Next sprinkle over the caster sugar, stir until dissolved (about 1-2 minutes)
- Turn heat off, and place in a serving dish. Decorate with silver leaf (optional), then serve warm topped with nuts, sultanas, coconut and clotted cream
(Keeps on its own for about 3-4 days covered, in a cool dry place)
