While I saw most of the annual plants that I put out demolished either by slugs or sheep, and only got a few halfway-decent fruit from Alpine Strawberries in their first year of planting, the only significant food crop that I was able to grow in spite of all that and the mostly unfettered hard winds came from a very unexpected place. A bunch of radish seeds that I had sowed on compost mostly next to a plum tree and a few other spots were taking off very healthily.
I had mistaken them for turnip plants at the start of autumn when they brought out lots of pink flowers, but upon pulling one out to thin them down, I discovered that not only were they radishes, but the root growth was utterly terrible, no larger than a single chick pea and very woody by the time the plant was in flower, so I left them to self-seed, until I got this surprise as their flowers fruited...
It turns out that radishes grow not only an edible root crop, but also some tasty little seed pods (only roughly similar pea pods in shape), which were very nice when sliced into salads.
|See the root of the plant that I plucked these off of; it was tiny in proportion to the above-ground part of this plant, although I shouldn't really be surprised when growing root crops in rocky soil.
|Most of these were already setting seeds, but there were still plenty of flowers to keep the bees fed, and the sage that I planted out at the base of these green-manure plants, should benefit next season from the nitrogen that they fix into the soil.
|I cut clumps of grass with a knife here to mulch around them, but the nasturtiums should eventually out-compete the grasses anyway.
|With the shoots trimmed back, this should hopefully take root strongly and sprout shoots next year.
|As I write this, these all seem to have taken root, and are now growing spring leaf buds.
To complete the windbreak around this pioneering patch of woodland, I first started by getting hold of a very useful plant that should grow very quickly and spread via its root system.
|Not only are Bamboos some of the fastest-growing plants in nature, followed closely by some species of Cannabis, but this Golden Bamboo in particular grows edible shoots in spring that are said to be palatable even while raw, and like many others it will eventually produce functional pipes.
|A bundle of baby trees rescued from a housing estate being re-developed. The darker brown-barked ones are chestnuts and the lighter green-barked ones are hazels.
Indoors, I lost a whole tray of Black Mulberry seedlings simply by forgetting to water them over one sunny weekend that dried their compost out on a windowsill, while I have still been completely unsuccessful at germinating Siberian Pea Tree seeds, so now I've been cold-stratifying another set of dormant seeds in our fridge over winter, to give this another go (I didn't use all of the seeds that I got at once, knowing that I would probably mess up with some of them on my first attempt).
|Here it seems that the cutting I took of a plum-tree shoot failed to take root, although that was treated with the same seaweed powder as the gooseberry cuttings. On either side are Sugar Maple seedlings, one of which, along with the Oleaster at the back, is now suffering from a fungal infection long after this picture was taken.
Of course, to establish a highly productive food-forest, plenty of nitrogen-fixing pioneer shrubs are needed to support the growth of canopy trees.
|The potted Elaeagnus x Ebbingei that I planted out seems to be recovering from root shock, with several leaves growing at its base, but the E. Pungens isn't showing signs of life.
This time around I remembered to do something that didn't occur to me before, which was to steep some of our plentiful White Willow bark in hot water so as to make a tea that encourages root growth, and left cuttings of gorse in this overnight.
|Those vicious green thorns actually make a healthy winter livestock feed if you grind them up.
|Yes, that is actually a whole window + frame mulching down some of the grass in front of a baby crab-apple tree (I put a couple of those in to aid pollenation of other apple trees).
My forest-garden plan now looks like this:
The "?" mystery plant at position 4T is this next one, which I got off a neighbour who wasn't sure what it's called either.
|I'll also put an entry about it here. I'm not certain, but that also looks like some Pampas Grass has sprung up right in the corner, although it looks a bit stunted.
I have also found an ideal species to fill the woodland niche of 'climber' up here, a plant known as Tara Vine, or Kiwi Berry, which produces a small hairless kiwi fruit about the size of a grape, and most importantly grows in some very cold climates. I am currently chilling some of their lightly dormant seeds in the fridge along with the others.
Over the rest of winter I've been preparing several other projects that are partly linked, such as picking out usable boards from old pallets to build a small beehive with, which can both aid fruit pollenation and provide a couple more useful natural products in the form of honey and beeswax. I've gathered up a can, pipe, sand and clay with which to build a mini-furnace and do some sand casting, which will enable me to make some very strong joints and possibly custom aluminium heatsinks for the wind turbine that I'm developing, and possibly even build a reused-motor lathe. I've also been trying to figure out how old sock knitting machines work in order to make an Open Hardware version of one. Take that as a teaser for anyone who wants to read a bit about what I'll be updating on soon alongside a couple of theoretical pieces.

Hiding Jewish Children during World War II: The Psychological Aftermath
Jewish children were hidden in the Netherlands from 1942-1945 to save them from Nazi deportation. After the war the few surviving Jewish parents, deeply traumatized, began the difficult search for their children. The children's return home involved many psychological problems both for themselves and for the parents. Often the hidden children had had to change addresses several times, leading them to "turn off their feelings" so as not to be overwhelmed by grief. After the war many of them could Read More »

Thanks to Orlando area legislators, motorists may be about to get some breathing room. Lawmakers from Orange, Seminole and Osceola counties have maneuvered through the Legislature a regional transportation authority that will plan, finance and build major roads and bus systems in their counties.
The agency, first recommended by a citizens' committee in December, is needed desperately to put some sense into an uncoordinated, fragmented system. Now an expressway authority builds expressways, a bus authority oversees mass transit and state agencies make the decisions on all state roads. Pulling those functions together so that everything can be planned together makes sense.

These are a few musings that were stoked by the comments on "Send Lazarus" or "Now You Remember My Name?" , and the ideas are just beginning to take shape, so please feel free to comment on and correct what you read here. I had focused on the concrete use of material wealth for one's spiritual welfare in this parable, which I still believe is correct, but Jesus' parables do have many levels and an interesting detail, which I had overlooked, made me think that perhaps wealth does indeed stand allegorically for spiritual riches also. The lectionary reading has "Jesus said to the Pharisees" preceding this parable. This phrase does not precede the parable directly, or at all, but beginning at Luke 16:14 Jesus is addressing the Pharisees and in verse 15 it states "he said to them." What comes after in the rest of Luke 16 is directed to the Pharisees. This is significant, it seems, as 16:1-13 is told to the disciples and beginning in 17:1 the disciples are addressed again.
I want to be careful here, for it is easy enough to cast the Pharisees as the eternal religious "bad guys" and not realize that we ourselves might engage in the same behaviors as certain Pharisees did. I think that is jesus' point: it is the behavior not the name that gets you in trouble. That we are not Pharisees by name does not let us off the hook for our behavior. I do not think a prayer that begins, "I thank you that I am not like the Pharisees" is any better than one that begins, "I thank you that I am not like this tax collector." Nevertheless, in this parable, Jesus directs it specifically to the Pharisees. In 16:14, the Pharisees were addressed as "lovers of money" and those who attempted to justify themselves "in the sight of others; but God knows your hearts; for what is prized by human beings is an abomination in the sight of God" (16:15). This might indicate a parable that is simply directed at love of money and material goods, but could it also reflect spiritual greediness and waste?
In Mark 7:26-28 (cf. Matthew 15:21-28), Jesus says to the Syro-phoenician woman that "it is not fair to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs"; she answered that "even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs." Each of these elements, food, crumbs and dogs, appear in the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, and without question food and crumbs indicate spiritual goods in Jesus' encounter with the woman. This story, however, does not appear in Luke and Lazarus does not seem to be asking for healing in the parable, for himself or a child of his, and he does not seem to be a Gentile in the parable. It still might be possible, though, to understand the feasting as spiritual riches and the crumbs as a desire that Lazarus has to share in those riches.
If that is the case, wasted spiritual riches would be even more significant than material riches, but what is more the one who seems to have no spiritual riches, Lazarus, is the one who actually does have them, while those who appear to have them in abundance, the Pharisees, waste their abundance or do not recognize what they have. John Mansfield's comment, "on the subject of pain felt by the rich man I have read that it may have been increased had his brothers not eventually come," is an interesting one and turns us to spiritual riches. I take it that John means that if his brothers do not come to the bosom of Father Abraham his suffering will increase – at least that is how I am reading it. Yet, the brothers - should we understand them as fellow Pharisees? - have all of the spiritual riches they need, "Moses and the Prophets" (16:31), and this should be sufficient to bring them to salvation.
John W. Martens
James 2:1-9 comes to mind as well, as the passage concerns the way rich and poor are treated in the ''assembly'' of those gathered in the name of the Lord-another possible reference to the church's eucharistic gatherings.
Could there be a eucharistic image here? Possibly a way that the material and the spiritual intersect, as they likely did in the early church's gatherings?
All this makes me think of the way the Offertory is observed in our liturgy. Yes, we bring the gifts of bread and wine to the altar, but we also bring the offerings of our tithes (envelopes). And it is both our spiritual and material lives that are offered to the Lord and transformed as the liturgy unfolds. At the same time, God invites us to make these offerings to one another, as we become more fully the body of Christ that we were baptized into.
I know that's a bit of a jumble (blasted character-and time-limitations!), but it does show a theme in the New Testament-that you can't divorce spiritual from material riches. The way you treat the one is likely the same way you will treat the other. And in God's eyes, generosity is the right way for both.

WASHINGTON — The federal government today clamped new restrictions on its annual $130-million charity drive among its employees that critics say will deny any benefits to thousands of groups.
In regulations published by the Office of Personnel Management, the government said proceeds from the annual Combined Federal Campaign can go only to traditional types of charities which serve health and welfare needs and "help lessen the burdens on government."
Barred from participating will be groups that spend more than 15% of their budget on lobbying or lawsuits, a criterion that will affect public advocacy groups and legal defense funds. However, groups can seek exceptions based on special circumstances.
Federal employees, civilian and military, will continue to designate what group receives their contribution, the government said. But they must choose from a list of approved charities.

Chace Crawford amusing interview excepts from Fabulous Mag: Do you find English girls sexy? I love the accent. Kate Beckinsale is my favorite Brit, but she's taken! She's got an air of sophistication about her that's so attractive.
Is it annoying when girls go crazy over you? I don't mind. Brits are more respectful than American girls, who can be really intrusive. I've had boobs flashed in my face a few times. Another time a girl tried to give me her underwear, but I politely declined.
Did you really break up with Carrie Underwood via text message? It was mutual. There's a lot more to it than that. The gossip magazines try to compartmentalize it by saying it was as simple as a text message, trust me it wasn't that simple.
Is it true that you had a gay affair with your GG costar Ed Westwick? No. It blows my mind that there's some cultural fascination trying to out people. It's hilarious. What's the worst way you've ever dumped someone? When I was at high school I wrote a note and left it under my
girlfriend's windscreen wiper. I felt like I could get everything out
verbally that way. I was only 14. I'll never do that again.
When was your first kiss? When I was 10. It was my best friend's twin sister. We were on a summer
camp and every other guy had a girlfriend apart from me, so we got
together. I was a bit of an awkward kisser, but she ended up being my
first girlfriend, so I can't have been that bad!
Did you ever rebel as a boy? I went to juvenile detention when I was 15. It was all over a little
misunderstanding with a pellet gun! I accidentally hit somebody on a
golf course so I went to the center for the weekend. At the time my
parents went ballistic, but it's a joke now.
Have you ever been tempted to steal someone's girl? There's always that temptation, but I've never been in a 'we just
couldn't help ourselves' situation. The girlfriend of a good friend is
definitely off limits!

The Presentation Album was developed as an answer to a question: how to create a simple album which can house photographs in an elegant embossed page without swelling the book. It's a great class for artists and photographers who want to display their work in a beautiful, hand-made book.
The album is very handsome, with pages made from quality cardstock. Each page has an impressed panel to house the photographs, made using an ingenious technique which is far simpler than you could imagine. The finished panels resemble the impression of an etching plate. The pages are hinged together on the inside with thick paper strips, and a small amount of adhesive is all that's needed to hold it all together—no need for sewing at all! The album has cloth joints for strength and an attractive cloth cover, and like the Ideal Sketchbook, opens beautifully flat.
This is Dominic and Michael's favorite album, and as an added bonus, students will learn how they can eliminate one of the steps and create a concertina instead, ideal for constructing an album suitable for display.
Materials to Bring: scalpel — #4 handle, #25 blades (available from Havells).
Optional and available at SFCB for student use during workshop: Bone folder, metal ruler, dividers.
Workshop Fee (includes $50 materials fee): $215.00

I am a complete beginner to paddling open canoes and have had only a little experience decades ago in k*y*ks. Most of my boat experience is falling out of Laser dinghies. After a couple of years of lurking and a build that took much too long, I've at last completed a Bateau Cheap Canoe. It's gone from this:
via this:
to this:
I increased all dimensions by 10%, which still keeps it on 2 sheets of plywood, but somehow the LOA is now 15', which is 12% longer! Anyway it works well as a tandem canoe or even two adults and a child.
The problem for me comes when paddling in a straight line solo - the canoe slides sideways unless I heal over to dig a chine in - then it glides following the curve of the chine. The bottom is almost completely flat with a little rocker:
I see a number of possible solutions in increasing order of complexity:
- Learn to paddle better
- Carry water ballast in 20 litre containers
- Fit a rib along the bottom where the keel would be (1/2" square hardwood moulding?)
- Fit a deeper keel like on the Storer Quick Canoe: https://www.duckworksbbs.com/product...ckcanoe-id.htm
Any recommendations from the collective wisdom of SotP?

It's taken some time but we have finally completed creation of two new custom belt cases for both the Samsung Galaxy Note and its music player derivatives (#290) and Motorola's Droid RAZR and longer battery life Droid RAZR MAXX (#295).
Belt Loop lets you angle the case on your belt,
to avoid covering a pocket.
We became aware of these larger than usual devices during attendance at CES mid January and immediately set about getting our hands on a couple of 'dummies' or replica non-working examples. We've been doing this long enough to know how easy it is to simply take published information and run with it. We may be right 98% of the time, but it is the 2% fail that worries me.
However the stars were obviously not correctly aligned for this to be a simple process.
CES afforded me the opportunity to meet with many Asian component manufacturers.
There were hundreds in attendance; one day I wandered through an unremarkable door off the main LVCC - Las Vegas Convention Center - and found them clustered in the basement of the next door and interconnected Las Vegas Hilton hotel.
This fortuitous stumble opened my eyes to the many, many opportunities available, as well as introducing me to several companies specializing in spare parts...and the aforementioned dummies.
So far, so good.
What was not so good was the fact that following close on the heels of CES was the annual Chinese Spring Festival or New Year. And until then I had never realized that during this celebration time China shuts shop completely for two weeks. During this time nothing, and I mean nothing, gets done.
This global powerhouse and it's 1.5 billion strong population goes into shutdown mode from the last week of January through to the end of the first week of February. And when they do return to work and crank up the volume for the new year, obviously the first thing they do - is clear the backlog - and that takes about another fortnight.
Eventually, six weeks later, at the end of February, we finally got our samples.
Then we had to design the patterns, make the knives to prove the design actually worked and assemble sample cases that had to be approved.
Finally all the design hurdles were cleared and the two new cases are now listed in our catalog.
In a deliberate design change, neither the #290 or #295 has a tab top option; pouch or full flap version only. This is because sales analysis shows these two by far outsell the tab version of our other products. While the pouch gives easy access - and can be easily stowed in a handbag, satchel or briefcase - the full flap affords both total protection and (for those uncomfortable about displaying their device publicly) a measure of security by hiding it from view when not in use.
We have also removed the D-ring from the clip. Nobody ever asked specifically for it, and it was one of those small legacy design accoutrements that somehow managed to find its way into the mainstream. I am sure if it's passing offends too many people we'll soon be told.
There's been very strong interest in the Galaxy Note case in particular. We have just shipped about a dozen cases that were pre-ordered by customers. To those folk who have waited so patiently we say "thank you". We believe you will agree the wait has been worthwhile.
In addition to offering these new products in a variety of leather finishes in our online catalog we are in the process of delivering the first of the Galaxy Note full flap cases in both Black and natural Russet to Amazon.
As a vendor in Amazon's 'wireless accessories' division we are very keen to see how well they are received and to ramping up production to meet what we hope is extreme demand.
But that's another topic that demands an entry like this, all of its own.

The Fourth Graders just completed a research effort using the Information and Communication Literacies (ICL) framework for research and project creation. They gathered information on a historical figure and then created an online poster board to communicate their understanding. They used media and visual literacies as well as design skills to create their posters using the Glogster web tool.
Take a look at the "glog" about Marie Antoinette by Isabelle R. and the one about Mozart by Sofia B. Excellent layout design ladies!

People sugar coat damn too much.No one likes the truth simply they want it in a way that doesn't hurt them.Rarely i have interacted with people who like the truth as it is.But there is a condition that they have a particular mood and time to listen to it that we have to identify.Well the first rule of getting your work done is to say something nice and sweet about the person.when the person is basking in the glory of their flattery you can use the opportunity to get your work done.I don't see that where do people get true friends from.
Who do get one they are truly blessed.A guaranteed fair weather friend and a friend with a back stabbing tendency are free everywhere always.
Who do get one they are truly blessed.A guaranteed fair weather friend and a friend with a back stabbing tendency are free everywhere always.
Lies do not come inside of us inbuilt we each have a role model in disguise.We listen to the lies from them,hate them for it and then slowly and gradually we pick up their style of lying and then it is mutual.
When ones we achieve the trust and faith of a person i.e. they tell us all about themselves without having to poke them for information then you know you have reached a soft corner and hurting them is too easy cause you know their weaknesses.As well as you have an extra bonus of being treated in a different way than others in your peers or group of people by that person.I see people blinded with the other by the mere exception that they like them and trust them and have total faith in them.They don't see what is wrong with the person.Their flaws end up becoming their beauty.
I know i have written something very much broken up.It is like one thought lead to the other and this is what it made.But yeah one thing guaranteed it has a clear view of lies and undertone of bitterness,jealousy and hatred.
And now a conversation that has been reeling in my mind from the starting of this post.Maybe you can relate to it or may be you cannot.So here it is
Backdrop-Coffee shop
M-Can you tell me why i like Black coffee so much?
T-Yeah! Because it is pure and has no adulteration.
You can rarely find a Black coffee and if you do you have hit a jackpot and should make sure you drink from them forever.Yes drink from them cause they are true,pure,selfless and solely dedicated to satiating your thirst.

In a Golf Channel post-game interview with Jason Day shortly after his win in the 2015 Canadian Open, Jason described how he and Colin Swatton, his coach/caddie, spent a tremendous amount of time mentally preparing for each golf tournament.
In the interview, Jason discussed how he kept detailed notes of each golf course and hole in a notebook. These notes are kept with his yardage book as he plays the course. But even before the tournament starts, Jason mentally goes through his colorized field notes and mentally plays each and every golf shot on each hole. He predicts where each golf shot will land and how the hole sets up; and he even mentally walks between each golf shot up to the green. I call this prep work a mental walk-through to my actual golf game.
Jason Day described how he used something similar to the golf swing Time-lapse Video Technique. This technique is like what Bob Rotella described in the 2013 Summer issue of Links Magazine, If done properly, you can give yourself a feeling of It's like déjà vu all over again. When the golfer actually addresses the ball, the golfer has already executed the golf shot in their subconscious mind. Visualization is key to the golfer's mental walk-through preparation for their next round. This was an important process that Colonial George Robert Hall used to survive his seven-and-a-half years as a P.O.W. at the Hanoi Hilton in North Vietnam.
In his seven-and-a-half foot square prison cell, Col. Hall used a time-elapse mental walk-through game management to play his home course and other golf course everyday. After completing his virtual golf shot, Col. Hall would mentally count the steps between his golf shots right up and onto the green. Also stepping off the paces on the actual green during your golf game is an excellent golf management technique to get the speed and distance of your putts correct. This is explained in Section 17.0 of my book, The ESPY Golf Swing Coach.
Colonial Hall Time-Lapse Video Technique
Colonial Hall, whom I had the pleasure of interviewing at the Hattiesburg Country Club in Mississippi, used a mental-type yardage book and the golf swing Time-lapse Video Technique to mentally walk-through and play his home course and Pebble Beach each and every day in his seven-and-a-half foot square prison cell. It was remarkable enough that he mentally played and performed a mental walk-through of his golf course and Pebble Beach every day in his mind; but what was more remarkable was what Colonial Hall was able to accomplished within six weeks after his release, and that was playing in a PGA Pro-Am event in New Orleans.
Colonial Hall shot a 76, his handicap of four (4) at the Greater New Orleans P.O.W. Pro-Am Open Golf Tournament. He credited his ability to shoot his handicap to what he called his Time-lapse video and his mental walk-trough technique, recorded on a mental yardage book he had memorized to every detail. For more details of Colonial Hall's story and my interview, please use this link: The 1973 A TRUE AMERICAN STORY!
How to Use Your Yardage Book and a Mental Walk-Through in Golf
The yardage books are used by golfers to develop their strategy and mental game plan for each round, much like Colonial Hall used during his mental walk-through. These yardage books are also used to allow the golfer to mentally pre-play or replay the course, shot-by-shot, in a pregame or post-game analysis. This mental walk-through during a pregame or post-game analysis can be used by the golfer to improve their mental game and training sessions.
There is a significant amount of research indicating that the person who takes personal notes, especially color notes, can significantly increase their retention rate by 4 times. This 400 percent retention rate also applies to the mental walk-through technique of the golf course. The retention rate of a typical golf lessons or practice session is less than one-third of the self-coaching walk-through technique, of Time-lapse Video self-coaching approach. Self-coaching has a 90 percent retention rate, as indicated by my article The Triad Learning Pyramid.
The notes that I keep from each round of golf are placed on a standard letter size piece of paper (8.5 x 11) that is folded in half, three times, into small 2.75″w x 4.25″h segments. I call this my "cut-sheets," where I write down each shot for par fours and fives on each segment of the cut-sheet. The par-three's are placed on the bottom portion of the segment of the previous hole, noting the shot into the green only. For example, in the diagram of a 276 yard, Par-4, 6th hole, I have a target area of 172 yards from the blue tees. This "cut-sheet" services as a excellent post-game mental walk-through to make improvements in your next practice session. Experience does one thing very well, it teaches the golfer what not to do the next time if a proper walk-through is performed.
The target area is about a 24-foot radius (6-paces) that I treat as a large clock, with the hands at the center. In this case, my golf shot landed at T-6-10, which means I placed my tee shot 6-yards off the target area, at about the 10 o'clock orientation. This is represented by the blue dot on my cut-sheet. I do not place the blue dot on the yardage book, since this blue dot is for demonstration purposes only.
405- Training Drill for You Golf Game
I try to perform the post-game walk-through-analysis within 48-hours, usually that night, after my round. The cut-sheet that I analyze is used to prepare my training workout. I usually set up a scaled-down version layout of a particular hole, in my case, the Par-4 2nd hole at Lake Caroline. I use (2) 5-gallon buckets for my two targets. I use the Almost Golf balls®, where my objective is to hit 4-out-of-5 golf shots in the target area, 10-feet around each bucket, before going to the next golf shot.
NOTE: The Almost Golf balls® allow me to set up a one-third scale version of an actual hole, where every yard equals one foot. And Almost Golf balls® do not damage property or cause injury to people or pets.
The time I spend the night before the round performing a mental walk-through using "cut-sheet", I draw the target areas on my cut-sheet for the tee and approach shots that correlate to the yardage book. This allows me to memorize the course for the actual round. This is similar to Yogi Berra's quote, "It's like déjà vu all over again." The data that I collect during the actual round is written on the "cut-sheet" for that round. I usually walk the golf course, so I have time between shots to record the distance, once I arrive at the target area. Another benefit of walking the course is your perception of wind directions and speed
This Process helps to get your mind and body in sync with each other, where there is not a difference between practice work and course play by performing a mental walk-through. This was exactly what Colonel Hall did in his prison cell over seven years as a P.O.W. This addresses the 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' syndrome that we all experience from time-to-time. This process is also covered in my book, The ESPY Golf Swing Coach, in Section 7.0 called the 405 Training Drill.

This is a modification of my mother's circa 1960 recipe for Hungarian Goulash that one of her Scottish friends gave to her while my mother was living in Edinburgh. I have no idea whether the friend was Hungarian, probably not. So this is really Scottish Goulash, which I hear is all the rage. We spend some time in Utah skiing every winter. I find cooking at altitude a challenge. I have recently discovered the supreme joy of using a slow cooker at altitude. Everything loses liquid at altitude too quickly making things dry out before they are completely cooked. Trying to cook something slowly in the oven never works for me. Plunking something in the slow cooker in the morning, skiing all day, and returning to find the food cooked perfectly is an absolute delight. Even if you aren't at altitude, slow cookers are experiencing a bit of a renaissance. They are a big help for working parents who want to prep something in the morning and leave it cooking all day.
Slow Cooker Hungarian Goulash (serves 6)
- 2 ½ lbs tri tip steak, cut into 1 ½ inch cubes
- ½ cup flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon grapeseed or olive oil
- 1 ½ large onions, quartered
- 4 carrots, coarsely chopped
- 6 stalks celery, coarsely chopped
- One 10-oz jar red pepper tapenade or roasted red peppers, chopped (I use Trader Joe's red pepper/artichoke tapenade)
- One 32-oz box organic beef broth
- ½ cup red wine
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
Place the flour, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Toss the beef in the flour. Heat the oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and cook them until they are brown on all sides (you'll need to toss them frequently). Remove from the pan and place in the slow cooker. Add the onions to the pan and sauté them over medium heat until they are lightly browned (5-8 minutes). Add the red pepper tapenade or the roasted red peppers, the broth, wine, bay leaf and caraway seeds. Bring to a boil for three minutes.
Add the carrots and celery to the slow cooker. Pour the broth/onion mixture over the top. Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours. At the end of the cooking cycle taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve over noodles or toasted rustic bread. If you like a thicker sauce, at the end of the slow cooker cooking cycle use a ladle and remove the broth from the pot. Place the broth in a 2-quart pot on your stove. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. This will thicken the sauce considerably. Return to the slow cooker and then serve.
*One other modification is possible but not required. If you are cooking this on a weekend, or on a day when you'll be around – I like to turn my slow cooker on high for the first hour and then turn it down to low for the remaining cooking time. I think the outcome is slightly better. If you won't be home, don't worry about it.

Dr. Beverly Richardson Receives County Proclamation
Post date:
Dr. Beverly Richardson, Vice President of Special Projects at Burlington County College (BCC) received a proclamation from the Burlington County Board of Chosen Freeholders for her recent induction into the New Jersey Women's Hall of Fame.
"Burlington County is a better place because of Dr. Richardson's tireless efforts to improve education and keep it accessible to everyone in our county," said Burlington County Freeholder Bruce Garganio, who presented the proclamation on behalf of the Board of Chosen Freeholders. "Dr. Richardson brings distinction and quality programs to Burlington County College and we commend her for this well-deserved honor."
Richardson, of Willingboro, was inducted into the New Jersey Women's Hall of Fame last month in recognition of her contributions to education.
Richardson came out of retirement in 2010 and has served BCC in several leadership capacities, spearheading several innovative programs geared at increasing higher education opportunities for all residents – especially underrepresented communities.
Previously, she spent 29 years at Mercer County Community College where a state-of-the-art learning center bears her name. She held several leadership positions including Dean, Provost and Vice President of College Advancement.
"Dr. Richardson has touched countless lives in our region and continues to make a meaningful impact on students at Burlington County College," said Burlington County College Interim President Dr. David Spang. "Dr. Richardson's contributions are immeasurable because of her mentorship and guidance to all of her colleagues that push us to higher levels of student service."
At BCC, Richardson led efforts to create a First Year Initiative that is helping first-time students adjust to college and persist to completion with courses on college orientation and leadership success and personalized support and guidance. She recently was instrumental in crafting programs designed to reform developmental education at BCC and a pilot program with local high schools for students to satisfy developmental requirements and begin earning college credits before their high school graduation.
Recently, BCC sent 40,000 free books to organizations serving children in need because of Richardson's leadership in organizing BCC's First Book Initiative. The college was the first in the nation to implement such a program.
"One of the most important things in life is service to others, and I have been blessed throughout my career to be surrounded by colleagues, friends and family members who share this belief and help to enrich countless numbers of students," Richardson, of Willingboro, said. "This recognition is a tribute to the great teams I have been part of at both Burlington County College, and Mercer Community College, as well as thousands upon thousands of students who still inspire me every day to work hard and be creative in our efforts to improve community college education."
Richardson, a native of Boston, has also held positions at Bentley College, Harvard Graduate School of Education and Massachusetts College of Art. As she has done throughout her career, Richardson continues to serve as an adjunct faculty member.

I Saw The Sign...
I have fallen in love with everything funny, cute and creative to put around my house. I think that if you can just add a little bit of character to each room than it just makes everyone more happy. I have a 1/2 bath in my downstairs and when we moved in we decided to knock out a wall and move the laundry room in with the bath. It is a small space so I do not have a lot of room to decorate. I am working with what I have and I am really happy with what it looks like. I know that it is not anything fantastic, but it is me and that keeps me smiling!

First Time Painter
I found this cool website called Wall Written. They have all of these cool vinyl sayings that you can customize for your house. I would love to buy all of them but can not afford to. Their prices and not bad, I just do not have that kind of money. Anyways, I thought that I would try to paint them myself. I am not good at drawing, painting or really anything that takes artistic abilities. I opened Word on my computer and found the exact font that i wanted. I typed out my saying of choice so that I could look at the computer and write it as close as I could. I got my pencil out and started to write on the wall. I was a little nervous but that is why I did it in pencil. This one was a little hard because it was fancy writing which i do not have. I chose the saying "P.S. I love you." I wanted it to be above my fiances night stand next to our bed. I am so happy with the way that it turned out. I know that it is not perfect and I am ok with that. I am just glad that I took a chance and am so excited to paint some more.

What it is; where I am.
I spent the majority of this month in a self-induced frantic tailspin, because I was trying to accomplish something which, while probably not impossible, was definitely ill-advised. I was trying to obtain a scholarship to apply to the spring of 2014 by submitting my application materials by March of 2013.
The problem came in when I realized the scholarship is only meant to apply to students starting in the fall semester. Which is a bit silly if you ask me, but then again, there has to be a way to regulate the application and award periods. It's not my job or field, so I don't know all of the reasons why it may need to be that way. All I do know is that over the months of November and early December, it began to dawn on me that if I wanted to apply the scholarship to the spring semester of 2014, I had better get my application in during the 2013 application period.
Which would have been fine enough, had it not been for the fact that I need to apply to the scholarship via the grad school I wish to attend. Which is something I haven't fully made my mind up about yet.
Which means I was looking at spending the month of January frantically cramming to get a decent enough TOPIK score to submit, all of my overseas documents ordered and delivered, recommendation letters from hard to track down professors, on top of having to spend my vacation days running around from university to university, trying to have conversations with the faculty in Korean about their programs.
It was looking grim.
So I didn't take it too hard when I finally got an answer back from the scholarship program about whether or not what I was trying to do was even possible. It turns out, it's not. Only students who plan on starting school in the fall (be that language school or a grad program) are eligible. Well. My contract ends on October 15th. So I needed a new plan.
I found this out, definitively, at the end of last week. I took the weekend to think it over a bit, before laying it aside to focus on not being in a mood for Christmas. I've got a new plan tentatively in place until something else comes along to either disrupt or upshow it.
I don't see any option other than just taking the hit: figuring out a way to put myself through language school for the spring and summer semesters of 2014, and applying for the scholarship in the 2014 term. Starting official schooling in the fall. The downside of this is that the scholarship itself accounts for a year of language schooling previous to the grad program, so that may be an opportunity I just eat. But on the other hand, it's comforting to know that even after a spring and summer semester at language school, if I still don't feel comfortable enough with my language level to start my program, I would have the option of taking language classes for another year.
Now. This all presumes that I actually get the scholarship. Which I have no reassurance of whatsoever. So I need to do everything in my power to reduce my spending in the meantime, on the assumption that I could very well end up having to do this all out of pocket.
Which means that right now the new task at hand is researching how on earth to get someone else to eat the cost of my language schooling -- researching scholarships and stipends (some of which are available via a TA position at the language schools). The other (now much less pressing) matter directly at hand is preparing for my first TOPIK exam on January 20th.
In the meantime, I've started a new little side blog, which is more of a public notebook than anything, to keep up with all the stuff I'm trying to start to learn about Korean literature and translation. It will mostly be quiet until after the TOPIK exam, but when I'm able to relax my Korean studying a little, I hope to be posting on it daily.
I'll be back to Blogspot eventually, I'm sure. As I said here, I'm just not much use to this blog right now. I'm too scattered and focused on a million different things. But I will be back.

UN investigation team to depart soon for Syria
|Aug 16 2013
|VERTIC Blog >> Verification and Monitoring
Ariane Jugieux with David Cliff, London
Recent reports in the media indicate that the UN investigation team assigned to look into allegations of chemical weapons use in Syria is soon to depart for the country. The team's deployment has been delayed for several months while the UN and the Syrian government have debated the scope of the team's mission, which centers on an attack in the Syrian town of Khan al-Assal on 19 March. Both the Syrian government and the rebel opposition accuse the other of carrying out the attack, as well as several others, with the UN in total having now received around a dozen reports of chemical attacks across the country from various states.
On 27 March, Professor Ake Sellström, a Swedish arms control expert, was appointed as head of the UN Mission to Investigate Allegations of the Use of Chemical Weapons in the Syrian Arab Republic to review the attack on Khan al-Assal, but the team was denied access after reports the UN wanted also to inspect other locations.
In July, a visit to Syria by Professor Sellström and the UN High Representative for Disarmament Affairs Angela Kane ended with the Syrian government agreeing to the UN investigation team's request to inspect three alleged sites, including Khan al-Assal. A team composed of ten experts from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and the World Health Organisation will now seek to determine whether chemical weapons were used, but they will not investigate which party was responsible.
Although the experts are limited in terms of both the number of locations they are allowed to visit and in what they will investigate, the mission being launched nevertheless represents the first opportunity to independently verify whether or not chemical weapons have been used in the country. While their use has been reported by a number of states (several of whom have carried out their own covert information-gathering), a UN judgement on the matter, reached by an international team of experts, will in many ways carry additional weight.
That said, evidence found may not be entirely conclusive as the UN team will have to contend with challenges such as time constraints and the need to factor in conflicting reports—from parties to the conflict and from those outside it. The time passed between incidents of alleged attacks and the arrival of the team may also have allowed evidence to degrade, making judgements of use more difficult.
In June, a report by the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic (which investigated human rights violations committed in Syria since the start of the conflict) highlighted its receipt of allegations of chemical weapons use by both government and anti-government forces. In May, prior to the relase of the report, one of its commissioners, Carla Del Ponte, suggested that the UN had seen strong indications that sarin was used by the opposition, which came as a blow to several governments aligned against Assad.
The civil war in Syria is now well into its third year, and allegations of chemical weapons use are just one of its especially troubling aspects. Nonetheless, if proved, their use would raise the obvious issue of attribution—as well as a host of questions addressing what sort of action, or further action, could or should be taken in response.

The retirement of seven-term Rep. Bill Delahunt (D) of Massachusetts hands Republicans yet another opportunity to take over a Democratic House seat – and potentially moves the GOP another step closer to taking control of the House.
In a normal election cycle, a retirement from a Democratic-held House seat in blue Massachusetts would be no big deal. Another Democrat would swoop in and win it. But, for the third cycle in a row, this is shaping up to be no normal year. The Democratic Party is running scared, as it relearns the old political lesson: When you control everything, you take the blame for everything.
Representative Delahunt has long thought of retiring, and he told The Boston Globe that his decision has nothing to do with politics. "Life is about change," he said. "I think it's healthy. It's time."
The Delahunt announcement comes on the heels of another Democratic congressman's decision to retire, Eric Massa of New York. Still in his first term, Representative Massa cited health concerns, but lurking in the background are allegations that he sexually harassed a male staffer. Massa's seat had long been held by Republicans, and the Democrats will be hard put to hold onto it.
So far, 17 House Democrats have decided to retire (along with 18 House Republicans). The steady stream toward the exits fits a pattern: When the going gets tough (this year, it's the Democrats), the tough decide to spend more time with their family. On the flip side, Republicans already inclined to retire see a good time to leave; in most cases, the party is likely to hold onto the seat. Only two open GOP seats are seen in danger of takeover: Mark Kirk's in Illinois and Michael Castle's in Delaware. Both men are running for the Senate and are strong contenders to take Democratic-held seats.
Delahunt's Massachusetts district, which encompasses Cape Cod and Boston's South Shore, leans Democratic, but not as much as other parts of the state. In the special Senate race in January, it was Republican victor Scott Brown's strongest district.
The nonpartisan Cook Political Report now calls the Delahunt seat a tossup, citing a competitive Democratic primary field as well as two credible Republicans who are likely to run – former state Treasurer Joe Malone and state Rep. Jeffrey Perry.
Stuart Rothenberg, another nonpartisan handicapper, moves the seat from "safe" to "Democrat favored."
Delahunt's retirement capped a gloomy week for Democrats. Rep. Charles Rangel (D) of New York gave up his chairmanship of the House Ways and Means Committee after being admonished by the House ethics committee over corporate-sponsored trips to the Caribbean. (In Pictures: Ethically challenged congressmen.) New York Gov. David Paterson (D) is holding onto his position by a thread, over messy entanglements involving domestic-abuse allegations against a top aide and a charge that he got free World Series tickets.
These issues, plus the allegation against Massa, contribute to an odor of impropriety around Democrats that does little to help those running in November.

Is Bill Gates Striking Back Against A Mere Blogger?
Somehow my main email has lost the privilege of sending to Hotmail
Regular readers of my Hubs will remember my Hotmail Experiment where I established that Hotmail very conveniently lost about 4 out of 5 of all the attachments sent. That Hub caused a real uproar around the internet with all sorts of people swearing that I was absolutely correct and others swearing... well... mostly at me.
I look at all the evidence that the Apollo missions were faked, that JFK was executed my multiple shooters, that the World Trade Center was brought down by thermite, and that Hillary Clinton is really a nice lady, and I pretty well dismiss all of it as baseless conspiracy talk. So I'm really not much of a conspiracy freak.
(However, just between me and you, I will confess that two years ago just north of Baffin Island at 37,000 feet I saw something that looked like a really broad winged and very thick SR71 Blackbird at an altitude of about 30,000 feet doing at least Mach 20 at a 60 degree angle to the airliner I was on. Yes, I know that according to the laws of physics the air turbulence should have shook the plane to its bolts. But maybe it was a HalLicination.)
Regardless, I have had to be a bit surprised, if not conspiricized (I have just coined that word) about what has been happening lately to my main email account. That email account is resident on my domain through my ISP. It is ridiculously easy to figure out and anyone with google, a finger and 15 seconds to spare can work it out.
In the past couple of weeks, I have had great difficulty only from that account in sending to Hotmail addresses. Not just one Hotmail address. Almost all the ones I communicate with. When I do, most of the time I get a:
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. The following addresses failed: firstname.lastname@example.com SMTP error from remote server after MAIL command: host mx1.Hotmail.com[22.214.171.124]: 550 Your e-mail was rejected for policy reasons on this gateway. Reasons for rejection may be related to content such as obscene language, graphics, or spam-like characteristics (or) other reputation problems.
Reputation problems? Yeah, I guess that after trashing Microsoft, I would certainly qualify for reputation problems!
And just to keep the obvious comments down that usually start with "Damn, are you ever stupid...", there was no obscene language, no graphics (or attachments), or spam-like characteristics at all in any of the emails.
I did a few basic experiments and here are the very suspicious results:
If I send exactly the same email to the same Hotmail from another email address on the same domain: No problem.
If I send exactly the same email to the same Hotmail from another email address on another domain: No problem.
If I send exactly the same email to the same Hotmail from another Hotmail address: No problem.
So... am I supposed to believe that my main email account has "somehow" lost the "privilege" of communicating with Hotmail, or is it just another strange coincidence?
Is the Ruler of the Software Universe, the Emperor of the Global OS and the Deity of Holding The World By The Short And Curlies now deciding who has the privilege of communicating with who on this interlinked planet?
Isn't that just a little bit more influence than any non-elected person should have? Last time I checked I hadn't agreed to live under the domination of the MicroReich.
Hmm... I wonder...
Check out hundreds of Hal's PC Technology articles in these categories:
if you are looking for a great Email Client Like ThunderBird or Outlook look at this hub.
have a great day look at my comment above
Hotmail is crap. If you don't use it for a certain amount of days they cancel it. I suggest Yahoo mail or Gmail. Yahoo mail free edition however dosen't let you download your messages to outlook or other E-Mail client. but Gmail will alow you to do that and much more so i strongly suggest Gmail. Not to mention that you can access other google products with your Gmail email address. For a full review go to https://hubpages.com/hub/What_EMail_Service_Should...
I have a problem similar to yours. My email from my website is an @ .com. I can send to any other address that I want except for my daughters email which is an @hotmail.com address. I do not even get a message that the email was unsuccessful - it is like the email just vanishes into cyber space.

Unreal. Obama Campaign Says Benghazi Was Not a Foreign Policy Failure
For the first time in over thirty years a US ambassador was murdered on 9-11.
Libyan Ambassador Chris Stevens warned the Obama Administration on the day of his death of increasing violence in Benghazi. Barack Obama said the ambassador's murder was "not optimal."
Obama Campaign spokesperson Stephanie Cutter says Benghazi attacks were not a foreign policy failure.

SAN FRANCISCO --"Bacon Bacon," the food truck that opened a San Francisco restaurant and then was forced to shut it down after neighbors in the Haight-Ashbury District complained about the smell, has finally found a new home.
The mobile eatery has taken over the kitchen of "Brick and Mortar," a nightclub in the city's Mission District.
For now, Bacon Bacon is just doing prep work for the food truck. But starting next Wednesday, it'll open there as a regular restaurant.
The city's planning commission is still chewing the fat on allowing Bacon Bacon to reopen its Frederick Street locale.
Owner Jim Angelus does not expect any complaints of the smell at the new location. That's because it's next to a sausage factory.

Been on bed rest, for almost a week now.. *lol*
See, I got this problem with regards to Menorrhagia.. Had to consult an OB-Gyn about it… And was given 3 different medicine to address it.. Would you believe one of them is estrogen, a female hormone.
So, because of heavy bleeding, I was told that I looked pale.. and had some blood tests. My hemoglobin was 112, hematocrit – 0.33, RBC – 3.5, WBC – 7.1… Nice stats, ayt? Oh, and I dunno what PTT is, but it's 41.4 in my results..
Aside from blood test, I also had ultrasound done. It was my first time and I didn't know that they would put the equipment inside.
Anyway, I'm still under medication. So I guess, I can't have any alcohol yet.. And already, I miss drinking!
Hopefully, everything will go normal soon.. I sure don't want prolonged medication!

Magnolia Brewery Files For Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
The San Francisco Business Times reported yesterday that Magnolia Gastropub and Brewery has filed for voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Dave McLean, founder and owner of Magnolia (a Hoodline advertiser) and the family of restaurants that now includes Smokestack and Alembic, confirmed today that things are expected to stay as-is, as far as customers are concerned.
"We don't foresee any changes to our daily operations," he said, "or anything different with the experiences we provide for our guests. We aren't going anywhere, and we will continue to operate as usual in every way."
The filing may have its roots in Magnolia's long, costly expansion into Magnolia Dogpatch & Smokestack, McLean's Third Street barbecue restaurant that also offers a larger-scale brewing facility for beer production and distribution.
As the Business Times notes, Chapter 11 isn't a disaster for Magnolia, but a chance to restructure the business, to cope with an unsustainable cash-to-debt balance.
McLean emphasized that the bankruptcy only affects the Magnolia restaurants, and not Alembic, which also just completed a lengthy, extensive expansion.
